Section 3.2. Milestone Payments. In accordance with Section 3.1 above, as additional contingent consideration for the Conveyed Assets, the Company shall pay to CTI up to the maximum amount of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), upon satisfaction of certain financial milestones, as follows: if the Company achieves the amount of Net Sales set forth in the left column below in any given calendar year, (i) Spectrum shall deliver to the Company the portion of the Subscription Price equal to the amount of the Milestone Payment when due and owing under this Section 3.2(ii), and (ii) the Company shall pay to CTI the amount set forth in the corresponding right column below (each a “Milestone Payment” and collectively, the “Milestone Payments”):
Net Sales |
Milestone Payment | ||
$[***] |
$ | [***] | |
$[***] |
$ | [***] | |
$[***] |
$ | [***] | |
Total |
$ | 15,000,000 |
For avoidance of doubt, Net Sales shall not be cumulative from year to year and shall be viewed only on an annual basis. In a given year, one or more of the Milestone Payments may become due and owing (i.e., if the Company achieves $[***] or more in Net Sales in year one, then the full $15,000,000 shall become due and owing subject to the terms hereof), except that the Milestone Payments shall be paid in three installments such that the Company shall not be obligated to deliver more than one Milestone Payment in any given calendar year. As soon as reasonably practicable, but within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter, the Company shall determine the year-to-date Net Sales achieved (which determination shall be approved by at least a majority of the Company’s Board of Managers). If it is determined that a Net Sales milestone or milestones have been achieved, the applicable Milestone Payment shall be paid within forty-five (45) days following the end of the quarter in which the milestone is achieved, and if more than one milestone has been achieved, the first Milestone Payment shall be paid in accordance with the foregoing clause, and the subsequent Milestone Payment (even though earned) shall be paid in the following calendar year as determined by the Company, but in no event later than the one year anniversary of the date on which the immediately preceding Milestone Payment has been paid to CTI. The deferral of the payment of a Milestone Payment is for purposes of determining the timing of payment only and shall in not way affect the Company’s obligation (nor Spectrum’s obligation to deliver the corresponding portion of the Subscription Price to the Company) to pay the Milestone Payment. No interest or other fees or charges shall be due or payable in connection with the deferral of the payment of any Milestone Payment in accordance with the terms hereof. There shall be no time limitation by which the Milestone Payments must be achieved. Each Milestone Payment may be earned only once (i.e., for the avoidance of doubt, if the Company achieves Net Sales of $[***] in year one and is paid the corresponding Milestone Payment, then CTI will not be entitled to another Milestone Payment unless and until the Company achieves Net Sales of $[***] or $[***], as the case may be, in a subsequent calendar year).
Section 3.3. Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Conveyed Assets as of the Closing Date in accordance with any Governmental Rule and as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the parties. The Company, CTI and Spectrum each agree to (i) report (and to cause its respective Affiliates to report) the transactions contemplated

Section 3.4. Transfer Taxes. All transfer, sales, value added, stamp duty and similar Taxes payable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, to the extent payable to any Governmental Entity, shall be borne by the Company.

Such report is the only valuation or similar third party report commissioned by CTI with respect to the valuation of the Conveyed Assets in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise within the past six (6) months. All analyses prepared by CTI’s management related to the value of the Conveyed Assets (excluding for purposes of this sentence the valuation report from the independent valuation firm referenced above) have been shared with Spectrum or described to Spectrum in reasonable detail.
Section 5.16. Acknowledgement Regarding Transactions. CTI acknowledges and agrees that Spectrum is acting solely in the capacity of a good faith, arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. CTI further acknowledges that Spectrum is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of CTI (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and that any advice given by Spectrum or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Company’s purchase of the Conveyed Assets and the Company’s and Spectrum’s entry into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. CTI’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of CTI and its board of directors of the transactions contemplated by and in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, after reasonable efforts undertaken by or on behalf of CTI or its board of directors to identify and solicit similar or alternative strategic transactions with other unaffiliated third parties.
Section 5.17. Reliance. CTI recognizes and agrees that, notwithstanding any investigation by the Company or Spectrum, the Company and Spectrum are each relying upon the representations and warranties made by CTI in this Article V.
Section 5.18. Investment Representations.
(a) The Membership Interest being acquired by CTI pursuant to the terms hereof is being acquired for its own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. CTI does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or understanding with any third party to sell, transfer or grant any portion of such Membership Interest to such third party, except as set forth in the LLC Agreement and in connection with the right of BIIB pursuant to the Security Agreement.
(b) CTI has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that CTI is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the proposed investment.

CTI understands that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the representations of CTI that are contained in this Section 5.18.

(c) CTI acknowledges and agrees that the indemnification provided in this Section 11.3 shall be CTI’s sole and exclusive remedy for all Losses related to or arising at law, under any statute or in equity, or otherwise out of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents and, in furtherance thereof, and CTI waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims, actions or causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) it may have against Spectrum or any of Spectrum’s Affiliates relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than the remedies provided in this Section 11.3; provided, however, that CTI shall be entitled to seek temporary or permanent injunctive relief or specific performance in order to enforce its rights under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.
Section 11.4. No Claims By or Against the Company Based on Breach of Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) neither Spectrum, CTI, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall be entitled to assert any claim or initiate or maintain any Action against the Company (for indemnification or otherwise) from or after the Closing based on a breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth herein, and both Spectrum and CTI hereby waive any right to assert such a claim or initiate or maintain such an Action, and (ii) neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, CTI or Spectrum) shall be entitled to assert any claim or initiate or maintain any Action against CTI or Spectrum (for indemnification or otherwise) from or after the Closing based on a breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty of CTI or Spectrum set forth herein.
Section 11.5. Losses Net of Insurance; Limitations. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article XI shall be net of any amounts recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, IN TORT, NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTY OR STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, SUCH AS LOSSES OF REVENUES OR PROFITS. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.5 to the contrary, with respect to any Losses incurred by an Indemnified Party as a result of damages imposed in an Action by or on behalf of a third party (other than a party hereto) that would otherwise be indemnifiable under this Article XI, this Section 11.5 shall not preclude indemnification of such damages, or absolve any Indemnifying Party of the obligation to provide such indemnification with respect thereto, as a result of the nature or type of such damages.
Section 11.6. Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any Person party pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) and Section 11.3(a)(i) shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any Person pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(ii), and 11.3(a)(ii) shall not terminate until the applicable periods, if any, associated with any such covenants shall have lapsed. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any Person pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iii) shall not terminate by reason of any passage of time.

Section 11.7. Procedure.
(a) In order for an indemnified Person under this Article XI (an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall, promptly following the discovery of the matters giving rise to any Loss, notify the indemnifying Person under this Article XI (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of its claim for indemnification for such Loss, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such Loss and the amount of the liability estimated to accrue therefrom; provided, however, that failure to give such prompt notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five (5) Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such request, all information and documentation reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Loss.
(b) If the indemnification sought pursuant hereto involves a claim made by a third Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that Company shall have the sole right to select counsel and control the defense for any Third Party Claim to the extent it relates to the Regulatory Applications/Approvals. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than (i) during any period in which the Indemnified Party will have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above or (ii) as to any Third Party Claim to the extent that it relates to the Regulatory Applications/Approvals). If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all of the parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim, to the extent that it involves any agreement, performance or observance by the Indemnified Party or to the extent that it would be reasonably likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the business interests of the Indemnified Party, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Whether or not the Indemnifying Party will

have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 11.8. Liability Insurance. Following the Closing CTI shall maintain, at its expense, personal liability insurance (including with respect to bodily injury claims) in reasonable amounts (as determined by CTI in its sole reasonable discretion) insuring CTI against acts, events or occurrences occurring prior to the Closing.
ARTICLE XII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 12.1. Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing occurs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each of CTI and Spectrum hereby agree that (regardless of whether or not the Closing occurs) each party shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the reasonable legal fees of BIIB incurred in connection with the delivery of its consent to the transactions contemplated hereunder, which fees shall in no event exceed the aggregate of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000).
Section 12.2. Further Assurances and Actions. Company and CTI, whether before or after the Closing and without further consideration, shall each do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged or delivered all such further acts, deeds, documents, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney and assurances as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, as applicable, upon the request of the other party).
