Notwithstanding references in the Original Agreement regarding the transfer of the Purchased Assets free and clear of Encumbrances and representations and warranties to the effect that the Purchased Assets are free and clear of Encumbrances, the parties acknowledge that the Retained License Agreement may encumber the Purchased Assets (other than the Gestiva Inventory, Receivables and the proceeds of the Gestiva Inventory or Receivables) from the Transfer Date until the Lien Release Date and the Seller Security Interest may encumber the Purchased Assets (other than the Gestiva Inventory, Receivables and the proceeds of the Gestiva Inventory or Receivables) from the Amendment Date until the Lien Release Date.

“Section 8.13 Gestiva Inventory.
The Seller shall bear the costs related to formulation, filling and analytical release testing (excluding stability testing) for the Initial Gestiva Inventory.

The Parties will expressly claim the Rights of Reference in notifying FDA of the transfer of each of the Purchased Assets. Such Rights of Reference will automatically expire and be of no further effect on the 120th day following the Final Payment Date. The Seller shall have no right to exercise, license, sublicense or otherwise transfer its Rights of Reference prior to the Retransfer Date.
22. ARTICLE VIII of the Original Agreement is amended to include the following Section 8.15:

Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b), as applicable, in the aggregate; provided, however, that for purposes of claims made by the Acquiror under Section 11.2(a)(iii), Section 11.2(a)(iv), Section 11.2(a)(v) or Section 11.2(a)(vi), the Seller shall be liable for all Damages suffered by the Acquiror without regard to the Liability Threshold or Liability Cap; provided, further, that for purposes of claims made by the Seller under Section 11.2(b)(iii) or Section 11.2(b)(iv) or for claims made by the Seller relating to the Acquiror’s breach of its payment obligations in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, the Acquiror shall be liable for all Damages suffered by the Seller without regard to the Liability Threshold or Liability Cap.”

28. Section 12.1 of the Original Agreement is amended to include the following new subsection (l):
“(l) at any time prior to the Transfer Date by the Seller (as the non-breaching party), if the Acquiror has materially breached its obligations under Section 8.2(a), the last sentence of Section 8.2(e), Section 8.3(c), and the last sentence of Section 8.5(a) hereunder, such breach causes the conditions to the transfer of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities on the Transfer Date specified in the first sentence of Section 10.1(b), or Sections 10.1(d), 10.2(d) and 10.2(e) to not be satisfied, such breach has not been waived by the Seller, and the breach has not been cured within a period of thirty (30) days following the Seller’s written notice of such breach and the Acquiror is diligently proceeding to cure such breach during such period, unless such breach is not capable of cure, in which event the Seller may terminate immediately;

For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Seller is required to pay the amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section 12.3, no other amount paid by the Acquiror to the Seller hereunder shall be refundable upon termination of this Agreement by Seller or Acquiror.”
16
30. ARTICLE XII of the Original Agreement is amended to include the following new Section 12.4:
“Section 12.4 Retransfer of Assets from the Acquiror to the Seller.
(a) If, prior to the Final Payment Date, the Acquiror breaches its obligation to pay (i) any portion of the Additional Purchase Price Amount (other than the First Additional Purchase Price Payment) then due, and such breach has not been cured within a period of ten (10) days following the Seller’s written notice of such breach to the Acquiror, or (ii) any undisputed Reimbursable Expenses, and such breach has not been cured within a period of thirty (30) days following the Seller’s written notice of such breach to the Acquiror (a “Payment Default”), then for a period of sixty (60) days the Seller may notify the Acquiror in writing that Seller is electing to exercise its remedies pursuant to this Section 12.4.
(b) If Seller provides the notice contemplated by Section 12.4(a) to Acquiror, then in such notice Seller shall specify a date occurring within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the sixty (60) day notice period provided for in Section 12.4(a) (the “Retransfer Date”) on which the Acquiror shall, or cause its Affiliates to convey and assign to the Seller and the Seller shall acquire from the Acquiror and its Affiliates, subject to the provisions of Sections 12.4(c), (f) and (h) below, in consideration of Seller’s agreement to amend this Agreement on January 8, 2010 and as liquidated damages for Acquiror’s breach which gave rise to Seller’s ability to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 12.4, all of the Acquiror’s and its Affiliates’ right, title and interest in and to the following assets (collectively, the “Retransferred Assets”), free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than such Encumbrances that existed on any Retransferred Assets immediately prior to the transfer of such assets by the Seller to the Acquiror on the Transfer Date):
(i) any Retransferred Contracts;
(ii) all Retransfer Date Gestiva Books and Records;
(iii) all Retransfer Date Gestiva Intellectual Property;
(iv) all Retransfer Date Gestiva Product Registrations;
(v) all Retransfer Date Gestiva Product Improvements;
(vi) all Retransfer Date Gestiva Governmental Permits;
(vii) the Retransfer Date Gestiva FDA Submissions;
(viii) any other assets previously owned by Seller or its Affiliates related to the research (including all pre-clinical and clinical studies), development, manufacture, formulation, use, distribution, marketing, sale and promotion of Gestiva and/or Gestiva Product Improvements, including any equipment and tangible property related thereto and in each case transferred to Acquiror by Seller on the Transfer Date;
(ix) all customer and supplier relationships, goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business;
17
(x) all claims, causes of action or rights to collect, including for past, present or future infringement, misappropriation or violation of Retransfer Date Gestiva Intellectual Property rights;
(xi) all rights related to or arising out of or under any express or implied warranties from suppliers under any Retransferred Contracts actually assigned by Acquiror to Seller; and
(xii) all rights, claims and credits (including all guarantees, warranties, indemnities and similar rights and all refunds, credits and claims for refunds or credits relating to Taxes incurred during the Post-Transfer Tax Period), in favor of Acquiror or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective employees to the extent such rights, claims and credits were transferred to Acquiror by Seller on the Transfer Date.
(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that as of the Retransfer Date, there may be certain assets used in the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business (other than any assets transferred to the Acquiror by the Seller on the Transfer Date) which are not exclusively used by the Acquiror in the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business (e.g., assets, rights, etc. that are used in both the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business and other businesses of Acquiror and/or its Affiliates (referred to herein as the “Shared Assets”)). For the avoidance of doubt, such Shared Assets are not within the scope of the “Retransferred Assets” transferred pursuant to Section 12.4(b) above and it is impossible to identify at this time all of the various complications that may arise in connection with the transfer by the Acquiror to the Seller of certain rights with respect to such Shared Assets. For any of such Shared Assets, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to reach a mutually agreeable accommodation in order to provide the Seller with the ability to use and/or obtain ownership of such Shared Assets without payment by the Seller of any additional consideration to the Acquiror and in a manner which does not materially adversely affect Acquiror and/or such Affiliates and their respective ability to use such Shared Assets for the non-Gestiva purposes for which such Shared Assets were used as of the Retransfer Date. By way of a non-exclusive example, it may be necessary to negotiate with third parties to separate contracts that apply to both the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business and other businesses of Acquiror and/or its Affiliates; consider subcontracting arrangements; explore possible licenses and/or joint ownership of certain intellectual property, etc., for assets similarly shared among those businesses. Each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the foregoing in a manner consistent with the spirit and intent of this Section 12.4.
(d) On the Retransfer Date, the Acquiror will offer the Seller the opportunity to purchase any Gestiva Inventory then owned by the Acquiror or its Affiliates at a price equal to the reasonably documented cost of such inventories to the Acquiror or its Affiliates. Upon receipt of payment for such inventory in immediately available funds, Seller will be entitled to take possession and ownership of such inventory. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Seller will take all actions necessary to assure that any Lien on the Gestiva Inventory arising on or after the Transfer Date will not prohibit the Acquiror’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 12.4(d).
18
(e) As a condition to the re-transfer of assets contemplated by this Section 12.4, Seller agrees to assume, satisfy, perform, pay and discharge each of the Reassumed Liabilities.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree and acknowledge that the Acquiror will be operating its business (including the Retransferred Assets and Shared Assets) after the Transfer Date, and that the condition and/or existence of various of the Retransferred Assets may change after the Transfer Date and prior to the Retransfer Date. By way of a nonexclusive example, it is possible that various contracts will expire or be terminated, certain assets may be used up and/or sold, and other assets may have changed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Acquiror makes no representations, warranties or covenants of any kind with respect to any Retransferred Assets or Shared Assets transferred to the Seller on the Retransfer Date, such assets being transferred in an “as is/where is” condition as of Retransfer Date, and (ii) except as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.15 and the last sentence of Section 12.4(d), after the Transfer Date the Acquiror is not required to take any steps to preserve and/or maintain the Retransferred Assets, the Shared Assets or the Gestiva Inventory in any shape or form other than what the Acquiror determines in its sole and absolute discretion in the operation of its business.
(g) Acquiror shall have no obligation to transfer or provide access to any of its employees in connection with the retransfer.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Seller exercises its rights pursuant to Section 12.4(a) above, then effective as of the Retransfer Date:
(i) the Acquiror shall have the right to retain copies of, shall have access to and the right to duplicate any books or records related to the Retransferred Assets and Reassumed Liabilities to the same extent that the Seller would have otherwise had such or similar rights pursuant to Sections 2.4, 8.3(d) or 8.10(a) and such sections will be deemed to apply to the Retransferred Assets and Reassumed Liabilities;
(ii) Sections 2.5, 4.4, and 8.7 of the Agreement will also apply to any Retransferred Assets, with the intent that such provisions be applied to effectuate the provisions of this Section 12.4 with respect to the retransfer of the Retransferred Assets to Seller and the assumption of the Reassumed Liabilities by Seller, such that references in those sections to (w) “Seller” or “Parent” shall be deemed to be references to “Acquiror”, (x) “Acquiror” shall be deemed to be references to “Seller”, (y) “Purchased Assets” shall be deemed to be references to “Retransferred Assets” and “Assumed Liabilities” shall be deemed to be references to “Reassumed Liabilities”, and (z) “Transfer Date” shall be deemed to be references to “Retransfer Date”;
(iii) Sections 8.10(a), (c), (g) and (h) will remain in effect.
19
(iv) Section 11.2(a) is automatically amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(a) By the Seller. Subject to Section 11.1 and Section 11.3, from and after the Retransfer Date, the Seller shall indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless the Acquiror, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all costs, losses, Liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, interest, judgments, lawsuits, deficiencies, claims, expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals, including third party consultants) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of the Seller set forth in Section 6.2, Section 6.12 and Section 6.14 of this Agreement prior to the date that is sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (with extensions) with respect to the matters addressed in such sections (with the running of such statute of limitations deemed to have begun on January 16, 2008, the date of the Original Agreement), (ii) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED], (iii) the breach of, or failure to perform any, covenant or agreement of the Seller set forth in Section 12.4 of the Agreement, (iv) any Excluded Asset, (v) any Retransferred Asset (other than with respect to any Liabilities relating to such Retransferred Assets that are not within the definition of Reassumed Liabilities), (vi) any Excluded Liability (including, but not limited to, any Excluded Tax Liability) or any Reassumed Liability; and (vii) the fraud or willful misconduct of the Seller.”
(v) Section 11.2(b) is automatically amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(b) By the Acquiror. Subject to Section 11.1 and Section 11.3, from and after the Retransfer Date, the Acquiror shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all Damages incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (i) the breach of, or failure to perform any, covenant or agreement of the Acquiror set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.15 or in Section 12.4 of this Agreement, (ii) any Assumed Liabilities and any other Liabilities of the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business that are not Reassumed Liabilities; (iii) any interest in any Shared Assets retained by Acquiror, and any other assets of the Acquiror not transferred to the Seller on the Retransfer Date, and (iv) the fraud or willful misconduct of the Acquiror.”
20
(vi) Section 11.3 is automatically amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Except for representations, warranties and covenants relating to Taxes or any Damages arising from or related to the Excluded Tax Liabilities or fraud, in no event shall the Seller or the Acquiror be liable for any Damages pursuant to Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b), as applicable, unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Damages exceeds $150,000 (the “Liability Threshold”), in which case the Seller or the Acquiror, as applicable, shall be liable for all such Damages in excess of the Liability Threshold, and then not for any Damages in excess of the Liability Cap for all claims made under such Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b), as applicable, in the aggregate; provided, however, that for purposes of claims made by the Acquiror under Section 11.2(a)(iii), Section 11.2(a)(iv), Section 11.2(a)(v), Section 11.2(a)(vi) or Section 11.2(a)(vii), the Seller shall be liable for all Damages suffered by the Acquiror without regard to the Liability Threshold or Liability Cap; provided, further, that for purposes of claims made by the Seller under Section 11.2(b)(i), Section 11.2(b)(ii), Section 11.2(b)(iii) or Section 11.2(b)(iv), the Acquiror shall be liable for all Damages suffered by the Seller without regard to the Liability Threshold or Liability Cap.”
(vii) The remainder of ARTICLE XI will remain in full force and effect.
(viii) The parties agree and acknowledge that the re-transfers contemplated by this Section 12.4 and the right to bring a claim for indemnification pursuant to the amended and restated version of ARTICLE XI that goes into effect on the Retransfer Date will be the exclusive remedies for any Payment Default, and no party nor any of its respective directors, officers, stockholders or Affiliates shall have any other remedy or right to recover for any losses or damages resulting from any breach by the Acquiror of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein.
(ix) ARTICLE II (other than Sections 2.4 and 2.5 thereof as modified by this Section 12.4), ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV (other than Section 4.4 thereof as modified by this Section 12.4), ARTICLE V, ARTICLE VI (other than Sections 6.2, 6.12, and 6.14 which shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations), ARTICLE VIII (other than Sections 8.3(d), 8.7 and 8.10(a), (c), (g) and (h), as modified by this Section 12.4 and Sections 8.12, 8.14 and 8.15), ARTICLE IX, ARTICLE X and Sections 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 shall be of no further force and effect. Any remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect but only to the extent necessary to effectuate, and not inconsistent with, the terms of this Section 12.4.
21
31. ARTICLE XII of the Original Agreement is amended to include the following new Section 12.5:
“Section 12.5 Power of Attorney. Subject to the remaining terms hereof, by execution of this Agreement, from and after the occurrence of any Payment Default, Acquiror hereby constitutes and appoints Seller as its true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, in its name, place and stead, to make, execute, sign, acknowledge and deliver or file all instruments, documents and certificates that may be required to effectuate the transfer of the Retransferred Assets as contemplated by Section 12.4 and the transactions contemplated thereby. The foregoing grant of authority, which may only be exercised by the Seller after the occurrence of any Payment Default, is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest in favor of Seller and as such shall be irrevocable prior to the Final Payment Date and shall survive the merger, dissolution or other termination of the existence of Acquiror. The foregoing grant of authority shall automatically expire and be of no further force and effect on the date that is 120 days following the Final Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may not, and shall not exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 12.5 if at any time prior to a Payment Default, the Acquiror has notified the Seller in writing of the existence of a bona fide dispute between the Acquiror and the Seller as to whether or not a Supply Disruption had occurred such that a Payment Default had not occurred and such notice sets forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such Supply Disruption, it being acknowledged that no Supply Disruption will be in effect or continuing from and after the occurrence of the Inventory Delivery Milestones and that thereafter the provisions of Section 4.2(b)(B) will be of no further force and effect, provided that nothing herein will obviate any extensions of the due dates of payments pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(A) due to any Supply Disruption occurring prior to the Inventory Delivery Milestones being satisfied.
32. Section 13.1 of the Original Agreement is amended so that copies of all notices to be sent to the Acquiror thereunder shall no longer be directed to Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP as provided in the Original Agreement but instead shall be directed to:
Jenner & Block LLP | ||||

Facsimile: (000) 000-0000 | ||||

33. The Original Agreement as amended by this Amendment is hereby ratified and confirmed. The terms of this Amendment shall govern and control in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of (a) any correspondence, discussions or other oral arrangements, agreements or understandings between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein, and/or (b) the Original Agreement. On a go-forward basis, references to the “Agreement” shall mean references to the Original Agreement, as modified by this Amendment.
34. The provisions of ARTICLE XIII of the Original Agreement shall apply to this Amendment, mutatis mutandis, as if such provisions were set forth herein (with such non-substantive modifications to such provisions as are necessary to effectuate the terms of this Amendment, without varying the substantive terms hereof).
35. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Original Agreement.

Retained License Agreement
EXHIBIT F
LICENSE AGREEMENT
This LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “License Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of , 20 (the “Effective Date”) by and between K-V Pharmaceutical Company (“Licensor”), a Delaware corporation, and Hologic, Inc. (“Licensee”), a Delaware corporation.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Licensor, Licensee, and Cytyc Prenatal Products Corp. (“Cytyc”) entered into an asset purchase agreement dated January 16, 2008 (“Original Purchase Agreement”), providing for the transfer of certain assets to Licensor (the “Purchased Assets”); and
WHEREAS, Licensor and Licensee are entering into an amendment to the Original Purchase Agreement dated January 8, 2010 (“Amendment”) providing for, inter alia, extended payment terms; and
WHEREAS, the parties have agreed pursuant to the Amendment that Licensee should retain certain rights to the Purchased Assets until the date that is 120 days after the Final Payment Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as amended (the Original Purchase Agreement as amended by the Amendment being referred to herein as the “Purchase Agreement”) has occurred; and
WHEREAS, the Licensor wishes to license the Licensed Product and Licensed IP, as hereinafter defined, to Licensee in order to effect the aforesaid retention of rights,
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties hereby acknowledge, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1.
DEFINITIONS
All capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.
1.1 “Licensed IP” shall mean (i) the Gestiva Retransfer Date Patent Rights, (ii) the Retransfer Date Gestiva Copyrights, (iii) the Retransfer Date Gestiva Know-How and (iv) the Retransfer Date Gestiva Trademarks.
1.2 | “Licensed Product” shall mean Gestiva (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement). |

SECTION 2.
LICENSE; EXCLUSIVITY
2.1 License. Licensor hereby grants Licensee paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide exclusive rights and license to (i) make, have made, use, and sell the Licensed Product under the Retransfer Date Gestiva Patent Rights, (ii) use the Retransfer Date Gestiva Trademarks for the manufacture, registration, promotion and/or distribution of the Licensed Product, (iii) reproduce, distribute, make derivative works, publicly display and publicly perform the Retransfer Date Gestiva Copyrights, and (iv) use the Retransfer Date Gestiva Know How (collectively, the “Retained License Rights”), and to license the Retained License Rights to third parties. The “Retransfer Date Gestiva Patent Rights” and the “Retransfer Date Gestiva Trademarks” shall include, but are not limited to, those set forth on Exhibits A and B, respectively.
2.2 Exercise of Rights. Licensee agrees not to exercise the Retained License Rights unless and until the Licensor breaches its obligation to pay any portion of the Additional Purchase Price Amount (other than the First Additional Purchase Price Payment) then due or any undisputed Reimbursable Expenses and such payment failure continues beyond the applicable cure period provided for in the Purchase Agreement (a “Payment Default”). Pursuant to Section 8.14 of the Purchase Agreement, Licensor has granted to Licensee a right of reference to each of the Gestiva IND, Gestiva NDA and the Gestiva Orphan Drug Designation (collectively the “Rights of Reference”). Licensor will retain such Rights of Reference for the term of this License Agreement. Licensee will not exercise, license, sublicense or otherwise transfer its Rights of Reference prior to the Retransfer Date, nor subsequent to the expiration of the Term.
2.3 Nature of Exclusivity. In the event that Licensee becomes entitled to exercise the Retained License Rights pursuant to Section 2.2, such rights shall be exclusive, including with respect to Licensor. Prior to a Payment Default, Licensor may continue to exercise such rights as if the license in Section 2.1 had not been granted, provided, however, that Licensor shall not, at any time during the Term (as defined below) of this License Agreement, grant any rights in the Retained License Rights to any third parties that could take priority over Licensee’s exclusive rights to the Retained License Rights hereunder.
SECTION 3.

3.1 Term. This License Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Retained License Rights until one hundred twenty (120) days after the Final Payment Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, after which time this License Agreement will terminate and be of no further force and effect (the applicable time period during which this License Agreement will be in effect as set forth herein being referred to herein as the “Term”).
SECTION 4.
REPRESENTATIONS; WARRANTIES; COVENANTS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
4.1 Representations and Warranties. Licensor and Licensee each represents and warrants that it has the power to enter into this License Agreement and perform in accordance with the provisions hereof and that the execution and performance of this License Agreement has been duly and validly authorized in accordance with all applicable laws and governing instruments.

The election of any one or more remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

5.10 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party hereto of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not in the alternative.
5.11 Survival. This Section 5 shall survive the termination or expiration of this License Agreement.
5.12 Acknowledgment. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchase Agreement provides that Licensor is obligated to return to the Licensee all of Licensor’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, the Retained License Rights) in the event that Licensor breaches its obligation to pay any portion of the Additional Purchase Price Amount (other than the First Additional Purchase Price Payment) then due or any undisputed Reimbursable Expenses and fails to cure such breach within the applicable cure period. The parties hereto further acknowledge that this License Agreement is being entered into to provide additional protection to Licensee by insuring that Licensee has exclusive rights in the Licensed IP in the event of Licensor’s breach of the aforesaid obligation and subsequent failure or inability to transfer all of Licensor’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets back to Licensee as required by the Purchase Agreement.
