have the following rights and remedies, which shall be independent of any others and severally
enforceable, and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies
available to Buyer at law or in equity: (a) the right and remedy to seek to enjoin the breaching
party from violating or threatening to violate the Restrictive Covenants and to have the
Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed
that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to
Buyer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer; and (b) the right and
remedy to seek to require the breaching party to account for and pay over to

Buyer all
compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by such
party as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants.
6.10.3 Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid
in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects. If any court determines that any of
the Restrictive Covenants or any part thereof, are invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the
Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard
to the invalid portions. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any
part thereof, are unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, such
court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be,
and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable.
6.10.4 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive
Covenants upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive
Covenants. If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive Covenants
unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the
parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect Buyer’s right to the relief
provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such
Restrictive Covenants, as to breaches of such Restrictive Covenants in such other respective
jurisdictions, such Restrictive Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this

sale of the Products (including research and development related to improvements thereon) and for
no other purpose. In connection with the license of the Know-How not exclusively related to the
Products granted pursuant to this Section 6.11, Buyer shall, and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause its personnel and agents to, (a) hold such Know-How in strict confidence, (b) not
disclose such Know-How to any Person without the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not

(or in the Disclosure Schedules delivered on the

date hereof) or to correct inaccuracies of a
technical or ministerial nature. No such supplement or amendment shall (i) have any effect for the
purposes of determining the satisfaction of conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII or (ii)
relieve the Seller of liability or diminish any right or remedies of Buyer with respect to any
breach of representation or warranty made or deemed to be made to Buyer herein or in the Disclosure
Schedule or in any document or certificate delivered pursuant hereto prior to the date of such
supplement or amendment; provided, that if the Closing occurs, the representations and warranties
which are made or deemed to have been made as of the Closing Date shall be deemed to incorporate

however, that the Cap shall not apply with respect to any Loss and Litigation Expense resulting
from a breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation (other than 3.8.3) or from fraud or
intentional misrepresentation of Seller and the Minimum Claim Amount shall not apply with respect
to any Loss and Litigation Expense resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation of Seller.
With respect to Seller’s indemnification obligation in clause (e) above, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Seller shall not be liable to Buyer if Buyer (x) requests
Seller to bring an action against Seller’s personnel, agents or consultants to protect such
Confidential Information or recover damages as contemplated by Section 6.4, and Buyer does not
promptly pay all Litigation Expenses associated with such action (or provide other assurance
reasonably acceptable to Seller
that such payment will be made) or (y) does not request Seller to bring such action, and (ii)
Seller’s liability shall not extend to any Litigation Expense incurred by Buyer that is associated
with such action against Seller’s personnel, agents or consultants. In the event that amounts are
owed to Buyer in connection with any Claims for Losses or Litigation Expenses properly noticed
pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to
offset the amount of such Claims against the Post-Closing Consideration (as defined in the Alaway
Agreement).
9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify
and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and each of their respective employees, directors, agents
and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), on an after-tax basis, from
and against any and all Loss and Litigation Expense which they, or any of them, may suffer or incur
as a result of or arising from any of the following: (a) any misrepresentation or breach of
warranty, (b) the failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement, (c) the failure by Buyer to satisfy any liability or obligation which is an Assumed
Liability, or (d) the failure of Buyer or its Affiliates to pay any other costs or expenses which
are the responsibility of Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to indemnify
and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.3(a) with respect to any
Loss and
Execution Version

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
Litigation Expense incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties until the amount of Loss and
Litigation Expense suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties related to each individual Claim
exceeds the Minimum Claim Amount; provided, further, however, that the aggregate amount that Buyer
shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section
9.3(a) with respect to all Loss and Litigation Expense incurred by all Seller Indemnified Parties
shall not exceed the Cap; provided further, however, that the Cap shall not apply with respect to
any Loss and Litigation Expense resulting from a breach of any Buyer Fundamental Representation or
from fraud or intentional misrepresentation of Buyer and the Minimum Claim Amount shall not apply
with respect to any Loss and Litigation Expense resulting from fraud or intentional
misrepresentation of Buyer.
9.4 Procedure. Promptly after acquiring knowledge of any Loss, or any action, suit,
investigation, proceeding, demand, assessment, audit, judgment, or claim (“Claim”) which may result
in a Loss, and prior to the Expiration Date, the Person seeking indemnity under this Article IX
(the “Indemnitee”) shall give written notice thereof to the party from whom indemnification is
sought (the “Indemnitor”). The Indemnitor shall have the right, at its expense, to defend, contest
or compromise such Claim, through counsel of its choice (unless such Indemnitor is relieved of its
liability hereunder with respect to such Claim and Loss and Litigation Expense by the Indemnitee)
and shall not then be liable for fees or expenses of the Indemnitee’s attorneys (unless the
Indemnitor and Indemnitee are parties to the action and there exists a conflict of interest between
the
Indemnitor and the Indemnitee, in which event the Indemnitor will be responsible for the
reasonable fees and expenses of one firm), and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall provide to
each other all necessary and reasonable cooperation in the defense of all Claims. In the event
that the Indemnitor shall undertake to compromise or defend any Claim, it shall promptly notify the
Indemnitee of its intention to do so. If the Indemnitor, after written notice from Indemnitee, (a)
fails within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Indemnitee (i) of its
intent to defend against such Loss or Claim and (ii) that it irrevocably acknowledge its obligation
to indemnify the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement for such Loss or Claim, or (b) after
providing such notice fails to defend, contest, or otherwise protect against such Loss or Claim, or
(c) after commencing to defend, contest or otherwise protect against such Loss or Claim fails to
diligently continue to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same, then in any such case
the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend the same by counsel of its own choosing, but at the
cost and expense of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor provides the Indemnitee with the notice
contemplated by this Section 9.4(a)(i) and (ii), then the Indemnitor may settle or compromise the
entry of any judgment (x) which includes the unconditional release by the Person asserting the
Claim and any related claimants of Indemnitee from all liability with respect to such Claim in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, and (y) which would not adversely affect the
right of Indemnitee and its Affiliates to own, hold use and operate their respective assets and
businesses.
9.5 No Subrogation. Subject to Section 2.7.2, if any payment is made by or Claim
asserted against Seller under the terms of this Article IX, none of Seller Indemnified Parties
shall have any rights against the Purchased Assets, whether by reason of contribution,
indemnification or otherwise and shall not take any action against the Purchased Assets with
respect thereto. Except as set forth in Section 2.7.2, any rights which Seller Indemnified Parties
may have, by operation of law or otherwise against the
Execution Version

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
Purchased Assets are, effective on the
Closing Date, hereby expressly and knowingly waived.
9.6 Sole Remedy. The indemnification provided for in this Article IX shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy of any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case
may be, with respect to any Loss and Litigation Expense for which indemnification is owed pursuant
to this Article IX.
ARTICLE X
TERMINATION
10.1 Optional Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions may
be abandoned at any time before completion of the Closing:
10.1.1 by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller;
10.1.2 by Seller if Buyer breaches any of its respective representations, covenants or
agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach would give rise to the failure of a condition
set forth in Section 7.2.1, and such breach shall not have been cured or eliminated (or by its
nature cannot be cured or eliminated) by Buyer on or before September 1, 2007 (the “Extended
Closing Date”), provided that Seller is not then in material breach of any applicable provision of
this Agreement;
10.1.3 subject to Section 10.2, by Buyer, (a) if Seller breaches any of its respective
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach
would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1.1 and such breach shall not
have been cured or eliminated (or by its nature cannot be cured or eliminated) by Seller on or
before the Extended Closing Date provided that Buyer is not then in material breach of any
applicable provision of this Agreement, or (b) upon the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change; or
10.1.4 by Seller upon the happening of an occurrence or event which, individually or in the
aggregate, has resulted in or which Seller reasonably believes will result in a Material Adverse
Change that cannot or will not be cured by the Extended Closing Date, provided, that Seller shall
have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1.4 if such occurrence or
event is the result of a breach of this Agreement by Seller or Buyer has irrevocably waived its
right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1.3 with respect to such Material Adverse
Change within fifteen (15) business days of receiving notice of the happening of such occurrence or
event; or
10.1.5 by Buyer or Seller, if there shall be any Law of any competent jurisdiction that makes
consummation of the Transactions illegal or otherwise prohibited.

10.2 Governmental Consents. In the event any permit, consent, approval or
authorization of, or designation, declaration of filing with, any Governmental Entity on the part
of Seller (each, a “Governmental Consent”) is required in connection with the Closing of the
Transactions as a result of the enactment of a new Law (or modification to an existing Law) after
the date hereof, and as of the Closing Date such Governmental Consent has not been obtained but is
reasonably expected to be received within a timeframe acceptable to Buyer and Seller, Buyer and
Seller agree to engage in good faith negotiations to modify the terms of this Agreement to
accommodate a later Closing Date so that such Governmental Consent may be obtained prior to or as
of such later Closing Date.
10.3 Effect of Termination.
10.3.1 If this Agreement is terminated and the Transactions are not consummated as provided in
Section 10.1 by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the
other hand, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party specifying the provision
of Section 10.1 pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall be terminated
and become void and of no further force or effect and there shall be no liability hereunder on the
part of Buyer or Seller, except that the provisions of Section 6.3 (Public Announcements), Section
6.4 (Confidentiality), Section 10.1 (Optional Termination), this Section 10.3 (Effect of
Termination), Section 11.3 (Expenses), Section 11.7 (Governing Law) and Section 11.9 (Submission to
Jurisdiction) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
10.3.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10.3, nothing in
this Section 10.3 shall relieve any party of liability for any breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement.
10.3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10.3, if this
Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to 10.1.3(b) because Soothe® Net Sales are less than the
Minimum Net Sales Target, but the Technical Transfer has been completed on or prior to the date of
the termination notice from Buyer to Seller, then Buyer shall enter into a supply agreement with
Seller providing (a) for a purchase price of [*] of Soothe® sample inventory during the first
twelve (12) month period of such supply agreement and [*] of Soothe® sample inventory thereafter,
and [*] of Soothe® trade inventory during the first twelve (12) month period of such supply
agreement and [*] of Soothe® trade inventory thereafter, (b) that such agreement may be
assigned by Seller to a credit-worthy Affiliate of Seller or other third party to which Soothe® has
been transferred (provided, however, if Buyer, in good faith, makes a

reasonable determination that
such Affiliate or third party is not credit worthy, then Seller shall guaranty the payment and
performance of such Affiliate or third party, as applicable, under the supply agreement as a
condition precedent to the assignment), and (c) for such other terms and conditions as shall be
agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.

11.8 Parties in Interest. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the
