(iii) Each Grantor has taken all actions necessary, including those specified in Section 4.3.4(c), to: (a) establish the Administrative Agent’s “control” (within the meanings of Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC) over any portion of the Investment Related Property referred to in Section 4.3.1(b)(i) constituting Certificated Securities, Uncertificated Securities, Securities Accounts, Securities Entitlements or Commodities Accounts (each as defined in the UCC); (b) establish the Administrative Agent’s “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) over all Deposit Accounts constituting Pledged Investment Accounts and (c) deliver each Instrument with a value in excess of $50,000 singly or $100,000 in the aggregate to the Administrative Agent.
(b) Covenant and Agreement. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party that it shall not close or terminate any Pledged Investment Account unless the funds or other assets therein have been transferred to another Pledged Investment Account or a successor or replacement account has been established with respect to which successor or replacement account a control agreement has been entered into by the appropriate Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the securities issuer, intermediary or depository institution at which such successor or replacement account is to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3.4(c).
23
(c) Delivery and Control
(i) With respect to any Investment Related Property consisting of Securities Accounts or Securities Entitlements, it shall cause the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account or Securities Entitlement to enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which it shall agree to comply with the Administrative Agent’s “entitlement orders” without further consent by such Grantor. With respect to any Investment Related Property that is a “Deposit Account,” it shall cause the depositary institution maintaining such account to enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Administrative Agent shall have both sole dominion and control over such Deposit Account (within the meaning of the common law) and “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) over such Deposit Account. The Grantors shall deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the next Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all proceeds in respect of any Collateral, all collections (of a nature susceptible to a deposit in a bank account) constituting Collateral or the proceeds of Collateral and all other amounts constituting Collateral or the proceeds of Collateral received by any Grantor into such Deposit Accounts. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantors shall have full access to the cash on deposit in such Deposit Accounts, and the Administrative Agent agrees not to deliver a control notice or take any other action to control such Deposit Accounts unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with respect to any Deposit Account constituting a Pledged Investment Account, the Administrative Agent may give instructions and directions to the relevant bank or depositary institution to wire all amounts on deposit in such Deposit Account each Business Day to the Administrative Agent’s Account. All amounts received or deposited into the Administrative Agent’s Account after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be applied to the payment of the outstanding Obligations in accordance with the Financing Agreement. Each Grantor shall have entered into such control agreement or agreements with respect to: (i) any Securities Accounts, Securities Entitlements or Deposit Accounts that exist on the Closing Date, as or prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) any Securities Accounts, Securities Entitlements or Deposit Accounts that are created or acquired after the Closing Date, as of or prior to the deposit or transfer of any such Securities Entitlements or funds constituting Collateral, whether constituting moneys or investments, into such Securities Accounts or Deposit Accounts.
4.4 Material Contracts.
(a) Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants that:
(i) Schedule 4.4 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time pursuant to Section 5.1) sets forth all of the Material Contracts to which such Grantor has rights, excluding Material Contracts that are (A) not
24
material and (B) entered into in the ordinary course of business (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes investigator-initiated study agreements and material transfer agreements related to research, in both cases entered into in the ordinary course of business), and true and complete copies of all such Material Contracts (including any amendments or supplements thereof) have been furnished to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the listing of Material Contracts in Schedule 4.4 shall in no way limit any representation or warranty set forth in this Section or constitute a disclosure against any such representation or warranty;

Except as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise give rise to a termination right of any party to a Material Contract, there exists no default under any Material Contract by any party thereto and, to the knowledge of such Grantor, no circumstances likely to give rise to any such default. To the knowledge of such Grantor, no other Person party thereto has any defenses, counterclaims or right of set-off with respect to any Material Contract; and
(iii) no Material Contract prohibits the pledge of the Grantors’ rights under such Material Contract to the Administrative Agent, except for such restrictions as have been waived or, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, are rendered ineffective as described in Section 2.2(B).
(b) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that:
(i) in addition to any rights under the Section of this Agreement relating to Receivables, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may at any time notify, or require any Grantor to so notify, the counterparty on any Material Contract of the security interest of the Administrative Agent therein. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may upon written notice to the applicable Grantor, notify, or require any Grantor to notify, the counterparty to make all payments or transfer other rights that inure to the benefit of the applicable Grantor under the Material Contracts directly to the Administrative Agent; and
(ii) each Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days of the date hereof with respect to any Non-Assignable Contract in effect on the date hereof and within thirty (30) days after entering into any Non-Assignable Contract after the Closing Date, request in writing the consent of the counterparty or counterparties to the Non-Assignable Contract pursuant to the terms of such Non-Assignable Contract or applicable law to the assignment or granting of a security interest in such Non-Assignable Contract to Secured Party and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent as soon as practicable thereafter.

SECTION 5. SUPPLEMENTS TO SCHEDULES; FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL GRANTORS.
5.1 Supplements to Schedules. Each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written supplements to Schedule 4.1, Schedule 4.3, Schedule 4.4, Schedule 4.6, Schedule 4.5, Schedule 4.6 and Schedule 4.7 on a quarterly basis within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, and any such supplement delivered pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall, after receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, become part of such schedule for all purposes hereunder other than in respect of representations and warranties made prior to the date of such receipt.
5.2 Further Assurances.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, that it shall promptly execute and deliver all further agreements, instruments, certificates, powers of attorney, endorsements and any other documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:

Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the continued perfection and priority of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Each Grantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
31
5.3 Additional Grantors. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a counterpart agreement. Upon delivery of any such counterpart agreement to the Administrative Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any waiver or election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders of any requirement under the Financing Agreement to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 6. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
6.1 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Financing Agreement;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

(e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;
(f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Product Intellectual Property Rights and Product Intellectual Property Licenses in the name of such Grantor as debtor;

(h) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s sole expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
6.2 No Duty on the Part of Administrative Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 7. REMEDIES.
7.1 Generally.
(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent upon a default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:
(i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;
33
(iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Administrative Agent deems appropriate;
(iv) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any control or similar agreement and take any action provided therein with respect to the applicable Collateral;
(v) exercise those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ Lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;
(vi) transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Equity Interests, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Equity Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof; and
(vii) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable.
(viii) transfer, assign or register in its name or in the name of its nominee or assignee the whole or any part of the Product Intellectual Property Rights, Product Intellectual Property Licenses, Regulatory Documentation or Regulatory Approvals, to exercise the power, authority and all other rights as an applicant, holder or party thereto with respect thereto and to otherwise act with respect to the Product Intellectual Property Rights, Product Intellectual Property Licenses, Regulatory Documentation or Regulatory Approvals as though the Administrative Agent was the outright applicant, holder or party thereto.
(b) The Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Administrative Agent, as Administrative Agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any
34
Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent, that the Administrative Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
7.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all payments or proceeds received by the Administrative Agent under the Financing Agreement or hereunder or under any other Collateral Document in respect of any of the Secured Obligations, including, but not limited to all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied in full or in part as follows:
(a) first, ratably to pay the Secured Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent until paid in full;
35
(b) second, ratably to pay the Secured Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full;
(c) third, ratably to pay any amounts then due and payable under Section 2.7 of the Financing Agreement until such amounts are paid in full or, following any acceleration of the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Financing Agreement, to pay the Discharge Amount until such amount is paid in full; and
(d) fourth, to the ratable payment of all other Secured Obligations then due and payable until paid in full.
7.3 Sales on Credit. If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
7.4 Deposit Accounts. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.
7.5 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Administrative Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Administrative Agent all such information as the Administrative Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest,
36
shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Administrative Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Capital Stock and Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
7.6 Intellectual Property.
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
(i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Owned Intellectual Property Rights and Product Intellectual Property Licenses (including enforcement of any Specified Product IP Rights licensed thereunder), in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Administrative Agent in aid of such enforcement, and, to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Owned Intellectual Property Rights or Product Intellectual Property Licenses (including enforcement of any Specified Product IP Rights licensed thereunder) as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to the extent deemed prudent in its reasonable business judgment as determined by such Grantor in good faith or in the ordinary course of business as generally conducted by it, to use commercially reasonable efforts, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Owned Intellectual Property Rights and Product Intellectual Property Licenses (including the right to enforce any Specified Product IP Rights licensed thereunder) by others and for that purpose agrees, to the extent deemed prudent in its reasonable business judgment as determined by such Grantor in good faith or in the ordinary course of business as generally conducted by it, to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation;
(ii) upon written demand from the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Administrative Agent or such Administrative Agent’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Owned Intellectual Property Rights or Product Intellectual Property Licenses and shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documents as are necessary, advisable or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;
(iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Administrative Agent (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Product Intellectual Property Rights;
37
(iv) within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Administrative Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Administrative Agent to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce (or finish production of work-in-progress), use, manufacture, license or sublicense, package, process, deliver and/or Commercialize the Product and the Product Intellectual Property Rights, Product Intellectual Property Licenses, the Regulatory Approvals and the Regulatory Documentation, or provide any services related to the Product, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Administrative Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the Administrative Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default; and
(v) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Product Intellectual Property Rights or any Product Intellectual Property Licenses, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Administrative Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;
(1) | all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.7 hereof; and |
(2) | Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent. |
(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Administrative Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Owned Intellectual Property Rights or the Product Intellectual Property Licenses shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or
38
other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Administrative Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Administrative Agent; provided that after giving effect to such reassignment, the Administrative Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect or, if necessary, reinstituted; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties.
(c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 and at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Product Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Product Trademarks, to research, develop, use, manufacture, operate under, license or sublicense, package, process, deliver or Commercialize the Product or the Product Intellectual Property Rights, or provide any services related to the Product or any Product Intellectual Property Rights, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located; and (ii) an exclusive license to use the Company’s Trademarks for CLOVIS or CLOVIS ONCOLOGY (“House Marks”) solely to Commercialize the Product during an Event of Default; notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company retains the right to use House Marks for other products and services during an Event of Default.
7.7 Cash Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the rights of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 4.2 with respect to payments of Receivables and all other proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks, instruments, financial assets, or other non-cash items (“Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds and assets of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof), be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required) and deposited into the Administrative Agent’s Account; and any such Cash Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent against the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof. Subject to Section 4.2, any Cash Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise): (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, (A) be held by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Administrative Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.
39
SECTION 8. [RESERVED].
SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF COMMITMENTS.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Financing Agreement, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Financing Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its Commitments or Obligations held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations and the cancellation or termination of the Financing Agreement, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall, at Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing statement terminations to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property permitted by the Financing Agreement, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released with no further action on the part of any Person, with the Liens granted herein to attach to the proceeds thereof if, and to the extent, provided in the Financing Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall, at Grantor’s sole expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.
SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE; ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY PERFORM.
The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Financing Agreement.
40
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.
11.1 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Financing Agreement.
11.2 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
11.3 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
11.4 Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent given in accordance with the Financing Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder.
11.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantors and the Administrative Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
11.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.
11.7 Incorporation by Reference. SECTIONS 10.14 (APPLICABLE LAW), 10.15 (CONSENT TO JURISDICTION) and 10.16 (WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL) OF THE FINANCING AGREEMENT ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS.
