such FDA Annual Report within thirty (30) days after the delivery of each to the FDA, time being of the essence.
8.2 Other Post-Closing Deliverable. By or before February 15, 2017, so long as Nuprim Shareholders have provided all the information in their possession required to be produced during the FDA Type C Meeting and all of the reports and disclosure memoranda owned or controlled by Nuprim necessary to timely complete the FDA Type C Meeting, Motif must commence clinical development of the Iclaprim Product, time being of the essence.
8.3 Registration of Shares on the Exchange.

For a period of one (1) year from the date of Motif UK’s initial public offering but in no event any later than March 31, 2016, the Escrowed Shares, Additional Shares, and Warrants (collectively, “Equity Interest”), determined on a shareholder by shareholder basis, shall be subject to transfer restrictions no more onerous than the restrictions applicable to Motif UK’s other shareholders holding similar amounts of Motif UK Shares.
8.5 Intellectual Property Maintenance. Following the Closing, upon the mutual agreement of the Parties, the Nuprim Shareholders will have the right (but not the obligation) to file, prosecute and maintain, at the sole cost and expense of Motif, with such cost and expense not to exceed $10,000, any applications for Intellectual Property rights that cover or relate to the Iclaprim Assets. Motif will be responsible for and promptly pay when due all fees, up to $10,000, necessary to and will otherwise maintain the applications.
8.6 Additional Assets. During the period from the Closing Date and continuing until two (2) years after the Closing Date, if Nuprim Shareholders or Motif identify any Assets or Intellectual Property of Nuprim that are necessary for (and were used by Nuprim in) the Business as conducted by Nuprim prior to Closing that were not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered to Motif as required by this Agreement, then Nuprim Shareholders shall undertake, at no cost to Motif, to promptly transfer such asset to Motif, but in each instance only to the extent any such asset is: (i) in existence as of such time, and (ii) in the possession of, and controlled and freely transferable by, Nuprim Shareholders.
8.7 Transfer Taxes. Motif shall pay 100% of all transfer, real property transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, duty, recording and similar Taxes (including any penalties, interest and additions to Tax) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (together, “Transfer Taxes”). Motif shall be responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns or other applicable documents in connection with all Transfer Taxes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provided, however, that Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall cooperate with Motif in the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns or other applicable documents for or with respect to Transfer Taxes, including timely signing and delivering such Tax Returns, documents, and certificates as may be necessary or appropriate to file such Tax Returns or establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, “Transfer Taxes” shall not include any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld with respect to payments made by Motif to Nuprim Shareholders (under the Code or Treasury Regulations thereunder or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Law) in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
8.8 Conduct of Business with Respect to Taxes. During the Pre-Closing Period:
(a) Nuprim may not make, revoke or amend any Tax election; change any annual accounting period; adopt or change any method of accounting or reverse any accruals (except as required by a change in Law); file any amended Tax Returns; sign or enter into any closing agreement or settlement agreement with respect to any, or compromise any, Claim or assessment of any Tax Liability; surrender any right to claim a refund, offset or other reduction in liability; consent to any extension or waiver of the limitations period applicable to any Claim or assessment, in each case, with respect to Taxes; or act or omit to act where such action or omission to act could reasonably be expected to have the effect of increasing any present or future Tax Liability or decreasing any present or future Tax benefit for Nuprim, Motif or its Affiliates; and
(b) Nuprim Shareholders on behalf of Nuprim shall: (i) timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by it and all such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and that is reasonably acceptable to Motif; (ii) timely pay all Taxes due and payable; and (iii) promptly notify Motif of any income, franchise or similar (or other material) Tax Claim, investigation or audit pending against or with respect to Nuprim in respect of any Tax matters (or any significant developments with respect to ongoing Tax matters), including material Tax Liabilities and material Tax refund claims.
8.9 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Nuprim Shareholders and Motif shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns of Nuprim relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes of Nuprim relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all such Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods in accordance with Section 8.13. Motif recognizes that Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative may need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information held by Nuprim to the extent such records and information pertain to events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date; therefore, Motif agrees that from and after the Closing Date, Motif shall, and shall cause Nuprim to, retain and maintain such records and information until the later of: (a) six (6) years following the Closing Date; and (b) the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax for which such records or information relate, and allow Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative to inspect, review and make copies of such records and information as Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative reasonably requests from time to time during normal business hours and after appropriate prior notification.
8.10 Preparation and Filing of Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns for Nuprim. Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall, at the cost and expense of Nuprim Shareholders, prepare, or cause to be prepared all Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of
Nuprim. All such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent with the prior practice of Nuprim, except as required by applicable Law. Drafts of all such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns shall be delivered to Motif for its review and approval at least thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date of any such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return; provided, however, that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Motif disputes any item on such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, it shall notify Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative (by written notice within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such draft of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return) of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection. If Motif does not object by written notice within such period, the amount of Taxes shown to be due and payable on such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return shall be deemed to be accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section 8.10. Motif and Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall act in good faith to resolve any dispute prior to the Due Date of any such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return. If Motif and Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by a neutral arbitrator as promptly as practicable (in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.10), whose determination shall be final and conclusive for purposes of this Section 8.10. The neutral arbitrator shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort to complete their services within thirty (30) days after submission of the dispute to them and in any case, as soon as practicable after such submission. The fees and expenses of the neutral arbitrator in connection with its work pursuant to this Section 8.10 shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Motif and fifty percent (50%) by Nuprim Shareholders. Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall timely file all such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns; provided, however, if any such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return is filed after the Closing and Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative is not authorized to execute and file such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return by applicable Law, Motif shall execute and file (or cause to be filed) such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 8.10) with the appropriate Taxing Authority. Nuprim Shareholders or Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative, acting on behalf of Nuprim Shareholders, shall pay all Pre-Closing Taxes due and payable in respect of all Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns of Nuprim; provided, however, that if any Pre-Closing Period Tax Return is due after the Closing and is to be filed (or caused to be filed) by Motif, Nuprim Shareholders or Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative, acting on behalf of Nuprim Shareholders, shall pay (in immediately available funds) to Motif the amount of all Pre-Closing Taxes due and payable with respect of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return (determined pursuant to this Section 8.10) no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the earlier of the date such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return is filed or the Due Date of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, and Motif shall timely pay the amount of such Pre-Closing Taxes. Amounts required to be paid by Nuprim Shareholders or Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative, acting on behalf of Nuprim Shareholders, pursuant to this Section 8.10, that are not paid on or prior to the date specified herein shall accrue interest at the simple rate of 8% per annum until paid in full. In the event that such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return reflects any refund, the provisions of Section 8.14 (Tax Refunds) shall control.
8.11 Preparation and Filing of Straddle Period Tax Returns for Nuprim. Motif shall, at its expense, prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Straddle Period Tax Returns required to be filed by Nuprim. All Straddle Period Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent with the prior practice of Nuprim, except as required by applicable Law. Motif shall deliver or cause to be delivered drafts of all Straddle Period Tax Returns to Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative for his review and approval at least
thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date of any such Straddle Period Tax Return and shall notify Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative of Motif’s calculation of Nuprim Shareholders’ share of the Taxes of Nuprim (as the case may be) for such Straddle Period (determined in accordance with Section 8.12); provided, however, that such approval by Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative of any such Straddle Period Tax Returns and such calculations of Nuprim Shareholders’ share of the Tax Liability for such Straddle Period (determined in accordance with Section 8.12) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative disputes any item on such Straddle Period Tax Return, he shall notify Motif (by written notice within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such Straddle Period Tax Return and calculation) of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for his objection. If Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative does not object by written notice within such period, such draft of such Straddle Period Tax Return and calculation of Nuprim Shareholders’ share of the Taxes for such Straddle Period shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section 8.11. Motif and Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the Due Date of such Straddle Period Tax Return. If Motif and Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by the neutral arbitrator as promptly as practicable (in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.11), whose determination shall be final and conclusive for purposes of this Section 8.11. The neutral arbitrator shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort to complete their services within thirty (30) days after submission of the dispute to them and in any case, as soon as practicable after such submission. The fees and expenses of the neutral arbitrator in connection with its work pursuant to this Section 8.11 shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Motif and fifty percent (50%) by Nuprim Shareholders. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the earlier of the date a Straddle Period Tax Return of Nuprim is filed or the Due Date of such Straddle Period Tax Return, Nuprim Shareholders or Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative, acting on behalf of Nuprim Shareholders, shall pay (in immediately available funds) to Motif the amount of all Pre-Closing Taxes required to be paid with respect to such Straddle Period Tax Return (determined pursuant to this Section 8.11). Amounts required to be paid by Nuprim Shareholders or Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative, acting on behalf of Nuprim Shareholders, to Motif pursuant to this Section 8.11 that are not paid on or prior to the date specified herein shall accrue interest at the simple rate of 8% per annum until paid in full. In the event that such Straddle Period Tax Return reflects any refund, the provisions of Section 8.14 (Tax Refunds) shall control.
8.12 Computation of Tax Liabilities. To the extent permitted or required, the taxable year of Nuprim that includes the Closing Date shall close as of the end of the Closing Date. Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes for a Straddle Period relating to:
(a) Taxes not described in Section 8.12(b) (e.g., Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, such as real property and other ad valorem Taxes), the determination of Taxes of Nuprim for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; and
(b) (i) Taxes based on the income or receipts for a Straddle Period, (ii) Taxes imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (including all
sales and use Taxes) for a Straddle Period, and (iii) withholding Taxes relating to a Straddle Period, the determination of the Taxes of Nuprim for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning and ending after, the Closing Date shall be calculated by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two (2) taxable periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of Nuprim for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two (2) taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of Nuprim were closed at the close of the Closing Date; provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) will be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.
8.13 Tax Contests.
(a) Motif shall deliver a written notice to Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative in writing promptly following any demand, Claim, or notice of commencement of a Claim, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination or other administrative or court Proceeding with respect to Taxes of Nuprim for which Nuprim Shareholders may be liable (“Tax Contest”) and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by Motif) the facts constituting the basis for such Tax Contest, the nature of the relief sought, and the amount of the claimed Losses (including Taxes), if any (the “Tax Claim Notice”), provided, however, that the failure or delay to so notify Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall not relieve Nuprim Shareholders of any obligation or liability that Nuprim Shareholders may have to Motif, except to the extent that Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative demonstrates that Nuprim Shareholders are materially and adversely prejudiced thereby.
(b) With respect to Tax Contests for Taxes of Nuprim for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative may elect to assume and control the defense of such Tax Contest by written notice to Motif within thirty (30) days after delivery by Motif to Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative of the Tax Claim Notice. If Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative elects to assume and control the defense of such Tax Contest, Nuprim Shareholders: (i) shall bear their own costs and expenses; (ii) shall be entitled to engage their own counsel; and (iii) may (A) pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, Proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Taxing Authority, (B) either pay the Tax claimed or xxx for refund where applicable Law permits such refund suit or (C) contest, settle or compromise the Tax Contest in any permissible manner, provided, however, that Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall not settle or compromise (or take other actions described herein with respect to) any Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Motif (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided, further, that Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall not settle or compromise (or take other actions described herein with respect to) any Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Motif (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Motif) if such settlement or compromise would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax Liability of Motif or any of its Affiliates for any Tax period ending after the Closing Date. If Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative elects to assume the defense of any Tax Contest, Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall: (x) keep Motif reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Contest (including
promptly forwarding copies to Motif of any related correspondence, and shall provide Motif with an opportunity to review and comment on any material correspondence before Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative sends such correspondence to any Taxing Authority); (y) consult with Motif in connection with the defense or prosecution of any such Tax Contest; and (z) provide such cooperation and information as Motif shall reasonably request, and Motif shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Tax Contest (including participating in any discussions with the applicable Tax Authorities regarding such Tax Contests).
(c) In connection with any Tax Contest that relates to Taxes of Nuprim for a Pre-Closing Tax Period that: (i) Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative does not timely elect to control pursuant to Section 8.13(b); or (ii) Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative fails to diligently defend, such Tax Contest shall be controlled by Motif (and Nuprim Shareholders shall reimburse Motif for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Motif relating to a Tax Contest described in this Section 8.13(c)) and Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative agrees to cooperate with Motif in pursuing such Tax Contest. In connection with any Tax Contest that is described in this Section 8.13(c) and controlled by Motif, Motif shall: (x) keep Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative informed of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Contest (including promptly forwarding copies to Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative of any related correspondence and shall provide Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative with an opportunity to review and comment on any material correspondence before Motif sends such correspondence to any Taxing Authority); (y) consult with Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative in connection with the defense or prosecution of any such Tax Contest; and (z) provide such cooperation and information as Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall reasonably request, and, at his own cost and expense, Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Tax Contest (including participating in any discussions with the applicable Tax Authorities regarding such Tax Contests).
(d) In connection with any Tax Contest for Taxes of Nuprim for any Straddle Period, such Tax Contest shall be controlled by Motif; provided, that Motif shall not settle or compromise (or take such other actions described herein with respect to) any Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Motif shall: (x) keep Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative informed of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Contest (including promptly forwarding copies to Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative of any related correspondence and shall provide Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative with an opportunity to review and comment on any material correspondence before Motif sends such correspondence to any Taxing Authority); (y) consult with Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative in connection with the defense or prosecution of any such Tax Contest; and (z) provide such cooperation and information as Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall reasonably request, and, at his own cost and expense acting on behalf of Nuprim Shareholders, Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Tax Contest (including participating in any discussions with the applicable Tax Authorities regarding such Tax Contests).
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the procedures for all Tax Contests shall be governed exclusively by this Section 8.13 (and not Section 9.7).
8.14 Tax Refunds. Motif may, at its option, cause Nuprim to elect, where permitted by applicable Law, to carry forward or carry back any Tax attribute carryover that would, absent such election, be carried back to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. Motif shall promptly notify Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative of and pay (or cause to be paid) to Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative on behalf of Nuprim Shareholders: (a) any refund of Taxes paid by Nuprim for any Pre-Closing Tax Period actually received by Nuprim; or (b) a portion of any refund of Taxes paid by Nuprim for any Straddle Period (such portion to be allocated consistent with the principles set forth in Section 8.14 hereof) actually received by Nuprim, in each case, net of any Tax Liabilities or increase in Tax Liabilities imposed on Motif, or Nuprim resulting from such refund; provided, however, that Nuprim Shareholders shall not be entitled to any refund to the extent such refund relates to a carryback of a Tax attribute from any period ending after the Closing Date. Motif shall pay (or cause to be paid) the amounts described in the second sentence of this Section 8.14 within thirty (30) days after the actual receipt of the Tax refund giving rise to Motif’s obligation to make payment hereunder with respect thereto. At the request of Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative, Motif shall reasonably cooperate with Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative in obtaining any such refunds for which Nuprim Shareholders are entitled pursuant to this Section 8.14, including through the filing of amended Tax Returns or refund claims as prepared by Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative, at the expense of Nuprim Shareholders; provided, however, that if any such amended Tax Return shall be prepared by Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative, Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall deliver or cause to be delivered drafts of any such amended Tax Return to Motif for its review prior to the time such amended Tax Return may be filed and any such amended Tax Return shall be subject to the consent of Motif, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and provided, further, that Motif shall not be required to cooperate with Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative in obtaining such refunds (or, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, consent to the filing of such amended Tax Return) if such refund could reasonably be expected to adversely affect Motif or Nuprim in any Straddle Period or Post-Closing Period.
8.15 Adjustment to Purchase Price in Connection with Taxes. Motif and Nuprim Shareholders agree to treat any amounts payable after the Closing by Nuprim Shareholders to Motif (or by Motif to Nuprim Shareholders) pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the purchase price, unless a final determination by the appropriate Taxing Authority or court causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes.
8.16 Payments in Connection with Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to this Article VIII), payment by Nuprim Shareholders or Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative, acting on behalf of Nuprim Shareholders, of any amount due related or attributable to Taxes or Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement shall be made within five (5) Business Days following written notice by Motif that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Taxing Authority is due (or, in connection with this Agreement, is required to be paid by Nuprim Shareholders to Motif or are the responsibility of Nuprim Shareholders in whole or in part); provided, however, that Nuprim Shareholders or Nuprim
Shareholders’ Representative, acting on behalf of Nuprim Shareholders, shall not be required to make any payment earlier than three (3) Business Days before it is due (without regard to any extensions for filing the applicable Tax Return) to the appropriate Taxing Authority. Amounts required to be paid by Nuprim Shareholders or Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative, acting on behalf of Nuprim Shareholders, for Taxes, or otherwise, that are not paid on or prior to the date specified herein shall accrue interest at the simple rate of 8% per annum until paid in full.
8.17 Non-Compete.
(a) Each Nuprim Shareholder hereby acknowledges that (i) in addition to disposing of such Nuprim Shareholders’ ownership interest in Nuprim as set forth in this Agreement, such Nuprim Shareholder is transferring all the goodwill of Nuprim associated with or attributable to such Nuprim Shareholder’s Nuprim Shares, (ii) such Nuprim Shareholder has contributed to the development of the goodwill of Nuprim, and (iii) the Parties have agreed upon the Equity Consideration to specifically include and reflect such sale of goodwill. In consideration of the sale of such Nuprim Shareholder’s ownership in Nuprim, including the sale of all goodwill, each Nuprim Shareholder agrees that, during such Nuprim Shareholder’s applicable Non-Compete Restrictive Period, such Nuprim Shareholder shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, without the express written consent of Motif (which may be withheld in Motif’s sole and absolute discretion) directly or indirectly, in any capacity (whether individually or as owner, shareholder, partner, director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or consultant, or in any other capacity), whether or not for pecuniary benefit, work as an employee, agent, or consultant, in the Diaminopyridine class of antibiotics for human use for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth above, nothing herein shall prohibit any Nuprim Shareholder from owning or making investments in the Ordinary Course of Business in the securities of any Persons that are listed on any national stock exchange; provided, that the securities owned by such Nuprim Shareholder shall, in the aggregate, represent no more than 10% of the total voting power of such Person. Nuprim Shareholders may also be a director in such Person without violating this restriction.
8.18 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing, as and when required by any Party, each Party will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, at the requesting Party’s expense, all such further or other actions, as such other Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses associated with fulfilling its obligations as set forth in this Article VIII.
8.19 Release by Nuprim Shareholders. On the Closing Date, each Nuprim Shareholder (each a “Seller Releasor”), on behalf of such Nuprim Shareholder and such Nuprim Shareholder’s respective beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns irrevocably, absolutely and fully releases, remises, relieves, relinquishes, waives and forever discharges Nuprim, and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents, direct and indirect equity holders, lenders, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Motif Released Parties”), from any and all Claims, counterclaims, damages, losses, payments, obligations, debts, accountings, Liens, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) of any kind or nature, fixed or contingent, direct or indirect, several or otherwise, known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, xxxxxx or inchoate, claimed or unclaimed, in Law or in equity, whether arising from, in or out of tort, statute (whether state, federal or local) or Contract or any other common law, administrative or similar cause of action, right or remedy (collectively, the “Released Claims”), that such Seller Releasor may have against any of the Motif Released Parties from the beginning of time until the Closing Date, other than the Retained Claims (as hereinafter defined), rights under this Agreement and any ancillary agreements. “Retained Claims” means any Claims of a Seller Releasor for: (a) the Equity Consideration and Motif’s post-Closing obligations under this Agreement under Article VIII; (b) indemnification or advancement of expenses arising under applicable Law or the Charter and the Bylaws of Nuprim; (c) indemnity obligations, if any, under Article IX; (d) rights, Claims and actions arising out of or under any insurance policies or this Agreement; and (e) claims that cannot be released as a matter of Law. Such Seller Releasor, on behalf of such Seller Releasor’s respective heirs, successors and assigns, specifically waives the benefits of any statutory or common law of any state, which in effect provides that a general release does not extend to Released Claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor. It is expressly understood and agreed that the releases contained in this Section 8.19 are intended to cover and do cover all known facts and/or Seller Released Claims, as well as any further facts and/or Seller Released Claims within the scope of such Released Claims not known or anticipated, but which may later develop or be discovered, including all the effects and consequences thereof. Such Seller Releasor, on behalf of such Seller Releasor’s respective successors and assigns, acknowledges that he, she or it may hereafter discover facts in addition to, or different from, those which he, she or it now believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Seller Released Claims released in this Agreement, but agree that they have taken that possibility into account in reaching this Agreement, and that the releases given in this Agreement will be and remain in effect notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts, as to which such Seller Releasor expressly assumes the risk. Each Seller Releasor acknowledges that the Laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Each Seller Releasor acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a Party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, each Seller Releasor agrees that, effective as of the Closing Date, such Seller Releasor shall be deemed to waive any such provision.
8.20 Proprietary Information. From and after the Closing, no Nuprim Shareholder may disclose or make use of (except to pursue post-Closing rights or obligations under this Agreement (including any Exhibits attached hereto), or to carry out duties of their employment by Motif (or any Affiliate of Motif, including Nuprim)), any knowledge, information or documents of a confidential or proprietary nature or not generally known to the public with respect to the Business and Iclaprim Assets in the Field, Motif or any of their respective Affiliates (including Nuprim) or the businesses of any of the foregoing (including the financial information, technical information or data relating to Nuprim and the Iclaprim Assets, as well as filings and testimony (if any) presented in the course of any Proceeding pursuant to Article XII and any award and the tribunal’s reasons therefor relating to the same), (such knowledge, information or documents, “Proprietary Information”); provided, however, that the term “Proprietary Information” does not include information that (a) was, is or becomes public
knowledge other than through improper disclosure by any of the Nuprim Shareholders or an Affiliate of any of the Nuprim Shareholders, or (b) is lawfully acquired by a Nuprim Shareholder, from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. Each Nuprim Shareholder may disclose Proprietary Information as requested or required by (y) any applicable Law or (z) oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process; provided, however, that (i) such Nuprim Shareholder shall give prompt notice of such requirement to Motif, (ii) such Nuprim Shareholder shall disclose only such portion of the Proprietary Information as is requested or required and (iii) if available, such Nuprim Shareholder will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such disclosed Proprietary Information.
8.21 FDA Type C Meeting Materials. From and after the Closing, Nuprim Shareholders shall continue to provide any requested information in their possession required to be produced for purposes of the FDA Type C Meeting and all of the reports and disclosure memoranda owned or controlled by Nuprim that may be necessary to timely complete the FDA Type C Meeting.
ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, Nuprim (only with respect to any period prior to the Closing) and each Nuprim Shareholder hereby agrees to jointly and severally (provided, that, for purposes of the representations and warranties made by each Nuprim Shareholder in an individual capacity in Sections 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3, and for any breach by an individual Nuprim Shareholder of an obligation required to be performed by such Nuprim Shareholder prior to the Closing, Nuprim Shareholders agree to severally and not jointly), indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Motif and Nuprim (only with respect to any period after the Closing), and their respective successors and assigns and each of the foregoing’s respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Motif Indemnitees”) from and against any and every Claim, action, loss, liability, damage, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), deficiency, penalty, award, judgment, fine, Taxes, notice of violation, notice of liability or charge and any Claims in respect thereof (including amounts paid in settlement and reasonable costs of investigation and legal fees and expenses), but specifically excluding consequential, punitive, special, incidental or indirect damages or losses, including, without limitation, business interruption, loss of future revenue, diminution in value, profits or income, or loss of business reputation or opportunity (collectively, and as so excluded, “Losses”), Motif Indemnitees incur or sustain that are based upon, related to, result from or arise out of:
(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Nuprim or Nuprim Shareholders contained in or made pursuant to Article V of this Agreement;
(b) any breach of, or failure to perform or observe, any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Nuprim (to the extent to be performed prior to the Closing) or
any Nuprim Shareholder or Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement;
(c) any Pre-Closing Taxes;
(d) any liability related to or in connection with any litigation.
9.2 Indemnification by Motif. From and after the Closing, subject to any withholding as contemplated hereby, Motif hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Nuprim Shareholders and their successors and assigns and each of the foregoing’s respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”, and together with Motif Indemnitees, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any Losses that Nuprim Shareholders incur or sustain that are based upon, related to, result from or arise out of:

(c) Post-Closing Taxes.
9.3 Limitations on Liability. Motif Indemnitee’s aggregate recovery against the Nuprim Shareholders shall be limited to the return of the Motif UK Ordinary Shares issued to Nuprim Shareholders, which shall be based upon the then Fair Market Value of such shares; the recovery against the Nuprim Shareholders being non-monetary.
9.4 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in Article V of this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, (the “Survival Period”), provided, however, that (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive and continue indefinitely, (ii) no such limitation will apply in the event that the applicable breach is the result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation and (iii) if written notice of a Claim for Losses based upon breach of an applicable representation or warranty has been given to Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative or Motif, as applicable, prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, then the applicable representation(s) and/or warranty(ies) shall survive as to such Claim until such Claim has been fully resolved. The Parties specifically and unambiguously intend that the survival periods that are set forth in this Section 9.4, for the representations and warranties contained herein shall replace any statute of limitations for such representations or warranties that would otherwise be applicable.

9.7 Third Party Claims.
(a) In the event that any Third Party Claim is asserted or commenced against an Indemnitee with respect to which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.7, the Indemnitee shall: (A) promptly notify the other Party of its existence, setting forth in writing with reasonable specificity the facts and circumstances of which such Indemnitee received notice; and (B) specify the basis hereunder upon which the Indemnitee’s Claim for indemnification is asserted. Any notice of a Third Party Claim delivered by a Motif Indemnitee to Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall satisfy any obligation of such Motif Indemnitee to provide notice to any of Nuprim Shareholders pursuant to this Section 9.7.
(b) Except as herein provided, the Indemnitee shall not, and the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) shall, have the right to contest, defend, litigate or settle such Third Party Claim, if the defense of a Third Party Claim is so tendered and within thirty (30) days thereafter the Indemnitor accepts such tender and acknowledges in writing without qualification its indemnification obligation hereunder, subject only to the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Agreement, including Section 9.3. The Indemnitee shall have the right to be represented by counsel at its own expense in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim if it shall fail to diligently contest the Third Party Claim. So long as the Indemnitor has not lost its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle as herein provided, the Indemnitor shall have the right to contest, defend and litigate the Third Party Claim and shall have the right to enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim; provided, that such settlement includes an unconditional written release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim; provided, further, that the Indemnitor may not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Indemnitee if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement: (A) injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnitee; (B) such settlement would or could reasonably be expected to lead to any liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnitee; or (C) such settlement would adversely affect the conduct of the Business. The Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of a Third Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee if: (X) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Proceeding, action, indictment or allegation; (Y) the Third Party Claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief, or Motif reasonably believes that the Third Party Claim, if adversely determined, would impair in any material respect the financial condition, business, operations, reputation or prospects of Motif; or (Z) the interests of the Indemnitee in the Third Party Claim is or can reasonably be expected to be adverse to the interests of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitee has assumed control of the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to the foregoing sentence, it shall not agree to any settlement without the consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
provided Indemnitor has acknowledged in writing without qualification its indemnification obligation hereunder, subject only to the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Agreement, including Section 9.3. Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in Section 9.3, all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnitor. If an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification against a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnitor fails to accept a tender of the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.7(b), or if, in accordance with the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle such a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right, without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion exercised in reasonable good faith and upon the advice of counsel, to contest, defend and litigate such Third Party Claim, and may settle such Third Party Claim, either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the Indemnitee deems fair and reasonable. If, pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Indemnitee so contests, defends, litigates or settles a Third Party Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be reimbursed by the Indemnitor for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of contesting, defending, litigating and settling the Third Party Claim which are incurred from time to time, promptly following the presentation to the Indemnitor of itemized bills for such attorneys’ fees and other expenses, subject, however, to any applicable limitations set forth in Section 9.3. The Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with one another in the contest, defense or litigation of any Third Party Claim.
(c) Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative shall represent Nuprim Shareholders in all matters related to Third Party Claims and shall control all decisions to be made by or otherwise concerning Nuprim Shareholders with respect to any Third Party Claims.

The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within forty-five (45) days of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.

12.4 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Each Party hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware, in and for the County of
Wilmington, in connection with any suit, action or Proceeding arising from or in any way related to this Agreement, and (ii) waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or Proceeding, any Claim that it is not subject to personal jurisdiction in the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable Law), that the suit, action or Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or Proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail pursuant to the notice provisions in Section 13.2. Each Party agrees that its submission to jurisdiction and venue and its consent to service of process by mail are made for the express benefit of the Parties. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or Proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or Proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the Laws of such other jurisdiction.

No waiver by any Party of the breach of any provision hereof shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any continuing or subsequent breach of such provision or any other provision hereof. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof. The rights and remedies expressly granted hereunder shall be cumulative with respect to, and shall not be deemed to exclude, any other rights and remedies to which any Party shall be entitled at Law or in equity.

Except as provided below, this Agreement and all of the terms and provisions hereof shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives, except that (i) no transfer or assignment of all or any part of this Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned by Nuprim or Nuprim Shareholders without the Motif’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) prior to Closing, Motif may not transfer or assign this Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder without Nuprim Shareholders’ prior written consent which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Motif may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate without the prior approval of Nuprim Shareholders’ Representative acting on behalf of Nuprim Shareholders and, prior to the Closing, Nuprim, but any such assignment by Motif shall not relieve Motif from its obligations to Nuprim (prior to the Closing) and Nuprim Shareholders hereunder.

13.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.
13.9 Specific Performance.

Accordingly, each Party agrees that each other Party will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any action instituted in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at Law or in equity.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

5 UNDERTAKINGS
5.1 Authorities.
Subject to the proviso set out below, whilst any Warrant remains exercisable (unless otherwise authorised by Warrantholders holding not less than 75 per cent. in principal amount of outstanding Warrants) the following provisions of this clause 5 shall apply.
5.2 Rights of Holders of Shares.
All Ordinary Shares issued on the exercise of Warrants shall:
(a) be fully-paid and free from any rights of pre-emption;
(b) participate in full in all dividends paid, made or declared on Ordinary Shares in respect of profits of the financial year during which such Ordinary Shares are subscribed, but not in respect of preceding years; and
(c) otherwise rank pari passu in all respects with the fully-paid Ordinary Shares in issue on the date of exercise.
5.3 No Reduction of Capital.
The Company undertakes not to effect any reduction or redemption or purchase of share capital or any reduction of any uncalled liability thereon or any reduction of capital redemption reserve, or of share premium account.
5.4 No Variation of Rights.
The Company undertakes that there will be no modification or variation of the rights attached to any class of shares nor any consolidation or sub-division of any of its shares nor any creation or issue of any shares (other than the creation or issue of such number of
shares which are required to satisfy options to subscribe for shares existing at the date of the instrument) nor any grant of options, warrants or rights to subscribe for shares, nor any issue of any other securities convertible into shares save as and to the extent provided in the Articles.
5.5 Conduct of Offer.
If any offer is made to all holders of Ordinary Shares generally (other than the offeror and associated parties) to acquire the whole of or a proportion of the Ordinary Shares, the Company will as soon as possible give notice of such offer to the Warrantholders and use its best endeavours to procure that a full and adequate opportunity is given to the Warrantholders to exercise their Warrants and that a like offer (being one pari passu with the best terms offered in respect of Ordinary Shares) is extended in respect of any Shares issued upon the exercise of Warrants.
5.6 Listing.
The Company shall use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Ordinary Shares issued on the exercise of the Warrants are issued to the Warrantholders within 10 Business Days after the exercise of any of the Warrants and that admission is granted for such Ordinary Shares to be traded in on AIM not later than 20 Business Days after the issue of such Ordinary Shares.
5.7 Payment of Taxes etc.
The Company will pay all taxes, stamp and other duties and charges in respect of the creation and issue of the Warrants and (insofar as payment is not in contravention of the Companies Acts 1931-2004) on the issue of Ordinary Shares on the exercise of Warrants.
5.8 Supply of Information.
Warrantholders will have made available to them, at the same time and in the same manner as the same are made available to holders of Ordinary Shares, copies of the audited accounts of the Group (with the relevant directors’ and auditor’s reports) together with a list of the directors of the Company and copies of all other circulars or notices which are made available to holders of Ordinary Shares. In addition, the Company shall furnish to the Warrantholders all information and/or documentation prepared for despatch by the Company to the Shareholders and/or the London Stock Exchange and/or any other relevant regulatory body or authority and will ensure that all such financial and other information is accurate and complete in every respect.
5.9 No Issue of Shares at a Discount.
The Company undertakes that it shall not make, authorise, consent to or permit any offer, grant, issue or distribution to or in favour of the holders of existing Ordinary Shares or in any way vary its share capital if the effect would be that on exercise of the Warrants, Ordinary Shares would be required to be issued at a discount.
5.10 Sufficiency of Share Capital.
The Company undertakes to use all reasonable endeavours at all times to maintain sufficient authorised but unissued share capital and all requisite shareholder or other authorities necessary to enable the issue of Ordinary Shares (free from any rights of pre-emption) pursuant to the exercise of all the Warrants.
6 GENERAL MATTERS
6.1 Notice to Warrantholders of Intended Action by the Company.
Prior to giving effect to any action proposed to be taken in accordance with the proviso to clause 5, the Company shall give the Warrantholders not less than 14 days’ written notice of such action within which to exercise any outstanding Warrants so that the Ordinary Shares thereby issued shall be entitled to participate in the action or event pari passu with the Ordinary Shares then in issue.
6.2 Fractions of Shares.
No exercise of Warrants shall result in the issue of a fraction of an Ordinary Share. If as a result of an adjustment pursuant to the proviso in clause 4, a Warrantholder exercising his Warrants would, but for the preceding sentence and after aggregating all Warrants being exercised at any one time by such Warrantholder, be entitled to receive a number of Ordinary Shares which includes a fraction of an Ordinary Share, his entitlement to receive Ordinary Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares.
6.3 Lapse of Warrants.
In the event of a voluntary liquidation (provided that the provisions of clause 6.4 are satisfied) or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of the Company, all unexercised Warrants will lapse and shall cease to be valid for any purpose, in the case of a voluntary liquidation, on the effective date of the relevant resolution and, in the case of an involuntary liquidation or dissolution, the date of the relevant court order but subject (in any such case) to any contrary mandatory requirement of English law.
6.4 Voluntary Liquidation.
No resolution shall be passed by the Company for its own voluntary liquidation unless, prior to the taking effect of such resolution, notice shall have been given to the Warrantholders in accordance with the provisions of clause 11.2 setting out the nature of the resolution, warning that upon the commencement of such liquidation all unexercised Warrants will lapse, and affording the Warrantholders not less than 14 days prior to the effective date of the relevant resolution within which to exercise their outstanding Warrants. If an order is made or an effective resolution is passed on or before the expiry of the Subscription Period for the voluntary winding up of the Company (except for the purpose of reconstruction or amalgamation in which case the Company will procure that each Warrantholder is granted by the reconstructed or amalgamated company a substituted warrant of a value equivalent to the value of his Warrants immediately prior to such
reconstruction or amalgamation) each Warrantholder will be entitled for the purpose of ascertaining his rights in the winding up to be treated as if he had immediately before the date of the passing of the resolution fully exercised his rights to acquire Ordinary Shares pursuant to his Warrants and in that event he shall be entitled to receive out of the assets available in the liquidation pari passu with the holders of the Ordinary Shares such a sum as he would have received had he been the holder of all such Ordinary Shares to which he would have become entitled by virtue of such exercise after deducting a sum equal to the sum which would have been payable in respect of such exercise. The Auditors shall calculate the rights of the Warrantholders under this provision and the determination of the Auditors shall (save in the case of manifest error) bind the Company and the Warrantholders.
6.5 Entire Agreement.
This Instrument constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and the Warrantholders regarding the issue of Warrants and supersedes all earlier agreements of any kind regarding the same, all of which are hereby terminated and shall cease to have effect in all respects, and the Company confirms that:
(a) there are no collateral or supplemental agreements relating to this Instrument other than those (if any) executed contemporaneously with this Instrument; and
(b) the Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to rescind this Agreement.
6.6 Successors.
This Instrument shall be binding on and enure for the benefit of each Warrantholder’s successors and assigns save that:
(a) any purported assignment, charge, transfer or other disposition by a Warrantholder of the benefit of this Instrument (or any related document) or of any of its claims or rights (whether to damages or otherwise) or obligations arising under or in connection with this Instrument (or any related document) which is made without the Company’s prior written consent shall be void for all purposes; and
(b) any Warrantholder in breach of clause 6.6(a) shall not be entitled to recover damages or exercise any other remedy in respect of any loss which may be sustained by any other person who at any time has any right or interest relating to this Instrument as a result of any such breach.
6.7 Set Off.
The Company shall be entitled to set off against any sums owing by it to a Warrantholder or any of them under or in connection with this Instrument or any related document, any sums owing by a Warrantholder or any of them to the Company under or in connection with this Instrument or any related document.
6.8 Time is of Essence.
Time is of the essence in relation to all obligations under this Instrument.
6.9 Waiver.
In its sole and absolute discretion, the Company may waive (in whole or in part) any provision of, or any of its rights under, this Instrument or any related document, and may do so unconditionally or subject to any terms which it thinks fit.
6.10 Variation.
Any variation of this Instrument, or any waiver connected with this Instrument, shall be void for all purposes unless:
(a) in the case of a variation, it is agreed to in writing signed by or on behalf of the Company; or
(b) in the case of a waiver, it is set out in writing signed by or on behalf of the Company granting the waiver.
6.11 Illegality.
If any one or more of the provisions of this Instrument is, or becomes, invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the validity, enforceability or legality of the remaining provisions shall not be impaired.
6.12 Interest.
Any sum owing by the Warrantholders under this Instrument shall carry interest from the day after the date on which it is payable until actual payment at the Specified Rate; such interest will be compounded semi-annually and payable after as well as before any judgment.
6.13 Communications.
All communications under or in connection with this Instrument shall be in English.
7 TITLE TO WARRANTS

Save as specified in Appendix III, the Warrants shall not be transferable in any circumstances.
7.2 Registrar.
The Company shall be entitled to appoint such person or persons as the Company thinks fit as the Registrar and to remove any such person or persons and make a new appointment in
their stead provided that at all times the Registrar maintains a Register in the United Kingdom. The Company shall forthwith give a notice of any change in the identity or address of the Registrar in accordance with clause 11.2. The Registrar shall maintain a register of Warrantholders in registered form and the provisions of Appendix III shall have full effect as if the same had been incorporated in this Instrument.
7.3 Register as Evidence.
The registered holder of a Warrant shall be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes notwithstanding any notice of ownership or notice of previous loss or theft or of trust or other interest therein (except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or required by law).

PROVISIONS AS TO TRANSMISSION AND
OTHER MATTERS IN RELATION TO WARRANTS
1 An accurate register of the Warrants (the “Register”) will be kept by the Registrar and there shall be entered in the Register:
(A) the names and addresses of the holders for the time being of the Warrants (provided that the Company shall not be obliged to register more than four joint-holders in respect of any Warrant);
(B) the amount of the Warrants held by every registered holder; and
(C) the date at which the name of every such registered holder is entered in respect of the Warrants standing in his name.
2 Any change of name or address on the part of any Warrantholder shall forthwith be notified to the Registrar who shall cause the Register to be altered accordingly. The Warrantholders or any of them, and any person authorised by any such holder, shall be at liberty at all reasonable times during office hours to inspect the Register and to take copies of or extracts from the same or any part thereof.
3 Any person shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon or notice of previous loss or theft or of trust or other interest therein (except as ordered by a Court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law) and shall not (except as aforesaid) be bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant.
4 Every Warrantholder will be recognised by the Company as entitled to his Warrants free from any equity, set-off or cross-claim on the part of the Company against the original or any intermediate holder of the Warrants.
5 Any transfer of a warrant to be valid, must only:
(A) be made by means of a written instrument in usual or common form or in such other form as the Board may approve and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and by or on behalf of the transferee; and
(B) be of the whole but not part only of the Warrantholders holding of Warrants.
6 Every instrument of transfer must be left at the registered office of the Company for registration accompanied by the Warrant Certificate for the Warrant to be transferred and such other evidence as the Company may require to prove the right of the transferor to transfer the Warrant and, if the instrument is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person to do so.
7 Save as specified in this Appendix III no Warrantholder shall at any time sell, assign, transfer, mortgage, charge or otherwise dispose of any Warrant held by him or the beneficial interest in such Warrant except by means of a transfer and subject to the provisions of this Appendix III.
8 No fee shall be charged for the registration of any other document which in the opinion of the Registrar requires registration.
9 The Register may be closed for such period as the Company may reasonably from time to time direct, but may not be closed for a longer period in aggregate than thirty days in any one year (excluding weekends and public holidays in England).
10 In the case of the death of a Warrantholder the survivors or survivor where the deceased was a joint holder, and the executors or administrators of the deceased where he was a sole or only surviving holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company and the Registrar as having any title to his Warrants, but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased holder (whether sole or joint) from any liability in respect of any Warrant solely or jointly held by him.
11 Subject to any other provision herein contained, any person becoming entitled to a Warrant in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Warrantholder or otherwise than by transfer may, upon producing such evidence of title as the Company shall reasonably require, and subject as hereinafter provided, be registered himself as holder of the Warrant.
12 Subject to any other provision herein contained, if the person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company and the Registrar a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. All the limitations, restrictions and provisions herein contained relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfers of Warrants shall be applicable to any such notice of transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the Warrantholder had not occurred and the notice of transfer were a transfer executed by such Warrantholder.
13 A person becoming entitled to a Warrant in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive and may give good discharge for any monies payable in respect thereof, but shall not be entitled to receive notices of or to attend or vote at meetings of the Warrantholders or, save as aforesaid, to any of the rights or privileges of a Warrantholder until he shall have become a Warrantholder in respect of the Warrant.
14 Every Warrantholder shall register with the Company and the Registrar an address to which copies of notices can be sent. A Warrantholder whose registered address is not within the United Kingdom and who gives the Company an address within the United Kingdom at which notice may be given to him shall be entitled to have copies of notices given to him at that address, but otherwise no such member shall be entitled to receive a copy of any notice from the Company.
15 Any copies of notices given pursuant to the provisions of this Appendix with respect to Warrants standing in the names of joint holders shall be given to whichever of such person is named first in the Register and such notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the holders of such Warrants.
16 When a given number of days’ notice or notice extending over any other period is required to be given, the day of service shall, but the day upon which such notice shall expire shall not, be included in calculating such number of days or other period. The signature to any notice to be given by the Company may be written or printed.
APPENDIX IV
PROVISIONS AS TO MEETINGS
1 The Company may at any time and shall at the request in writing of persons holding not less than one-tenth of the principal amount of the outstanding Warrants convene a meeting of the Warrantholders. Such meeting shall be held at such place within the United Kingdom as the Company shall determine.
2 Fourteen days’ notice or when the meeting is being convened for the purpose of passing any Extraordinary Resolution, twenty-one days’ notice, at the very least of every meeting shall be given to the Warrantholders in the manner provided by the provisions hereinbefore contained. The notice shall specify the place, day and hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted, except in the case of an Extraordinary Resolution where it shall not be necessary to specify in the notices the terms of the resolutions to be proposed. The accidental omission to give notice to or the non-receipt of notice by any of the Warrantholders shall not invalidate the proceedings at any meeting.
3 At any meeting at least two person(s) being present in person or by proxy shall form a quorum for the transaction of business except for the purpose of passing an Extraordinary Resolution. No business (other than the election of a Chairman) shall be transacted at any meeting unless the requisite quorum is present at the commencement of business.
4 If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Warrantholders, shall be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to such day and time not being less than seven days nor more than twenty-eight days thereafter and to such place as may be appointed by the Chairman and at such adjourned meeting the Warrantholders present and entitled to vote shall be a quorum for the transaction of business including the passing of Extraordinary Resolutions. At least seven days’ notice of any adjourned meeting of Warrantholders at which an Extraordinary Resolution is to be submitted shall be given in the same manner mutatis mutandis as for an original meeting and such notice shall state that the Warrantholders present at the adjourned meeting whatever their number will form a quorum.
5 The Warrantholders present may choose one of their number to preside at every meeting as Chairman and if no such person is chosen or if at any meeting the person chosen shall not be present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting the person nominated in writing by the Company shall be Chairman of such meeting. Any Director and the Secretary, Auditors and solicitors of the Company and any other person authorised in that behalf by the Company may attend any meeting.
6 The Chairman may with the consent of any meeting at which a quorum is present and shall if so directed by the meeting adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business
which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.
7 At any meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the Chairman or by one or more Warrantholders present in person or by proxy and holding or representing one-tenth of the principal amount of the outstanding Warrants. Unless a poll is demanded a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried by any particular majority or lost or not carried by any particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of that fact.
8 If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the Chairman may direct and the result of a poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll is demanded, the demand for a poll may be withdrawn.
9 In the case of an equality of votes whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the Chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded shall be entitled to a casting vote in addition to the votes (if any) to which he may be entitled as a Warrantholder.
10 A poll demanded on the election of a Chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such time and place as the Chairman directs. No notice need be given of a poll not taken immediately.
11 The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of a meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded.
12 Subject to paragraph 20 of this Appendix IV, on a show of hands every Warrantholder who is present in person shall have one vote and on a poll every Warrantholder who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every Ordinary Share to which he would be entitled on exercise of the Warrants of which he is the holder.
13 In the case of joint holders of Warrants the vote of the senior who tenders a vote whether in person or by proxy shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register.
14 On a poll votes may be given either personally or by proxy and a Warrantholder entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.
15 The appointment of proxy shall be in writing by the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or if the appointor is a corporation either under the common seal or by an officer or attorney so authorised.
16 A person appointed to act as a proxy need not be a Warrantholder.
17 The appointment of proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority shall be deposited or delivered at the registered office of the Company not less than forty-eight hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting (or in the case of a poll before the time appointed for the taking of the poll) at which the person named in the appointment of proxy proposed to vote and in default the appointment of proxy shall not be treated as valid. No appointment of proxy shall be valid after the expiration of twelve months from the date named in it as the date of its execution.
18 An appointment of proxy may be in the usual common form or in any other form which the directors of the Company shall approve. An appointment of proxy shall be deemed to confer the right to demand or join in demanding a poll. An appointment of proxy whether in the usual or common form or not shall unless the contrary is stated therein be valid as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates and need not be witnessed.
19 A vote given in accordance with the terms of an appointment of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed provided that no intimation in writing of such death insanity or revocation shall have been received by the Company at its registered office before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the proxy is used.
20 Any company or corporation which is a registered holder of any of the Warrants may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise any person to act as its representative at any meeting of the Warrantholders and such representative shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the company or corporation which he represents as if he were the registered holder of the Warrants.
21 The expression “Extraordinary Resolution” means a resolution passed at a meeting of the Warrantholders duly convened and held in accordance with the provisions herein contained and carried by a majority consisting of not less than three-fourths of the persons voting thereat upon a show of hands or if a poll is duly demanded by a majority consisting of not less than three-fourths in value of the votes given on such poll.
22 A resolution in writing signed by all the Warrantholders who for the time being are entitled to receive notice of meetings in accordance with this Instrument shall for all purposes be valid and effectual as an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting duly convened and held in accordance with this Instrument. Such resolution in writing may be contained in one document or in several documents in like form each signed by one or more of the Warrantholders.
23 An Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of the Warrantholders duly convened and held in accordance with this Instrument shall be binding upon all the Warrantholders whether or not present at the meeting and each of the Warrantholders shall be bound to give effect thereto accordingly.
24 Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting shall be made and duly entered in books to be from time to time provided for that purpose by the Company and any such minutes as aforesaid in purporting to be signed by the Chairman of the meeting shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated and until the contrary is proved every such meeting in respect of the proceedings of which minutes have been made shall be deemed to have been duly held and convened and all resolutions passed to have been duly passed.
