(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in further consideration of the sale, conveyance, delivery, transfer and assignment of the Purchased Assets to Buyer and Seller’s other convents and obligations hereunder, Buyer shall make a one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payment of $20,000,000 to Seller upon the filing and acceptance of an NDA for, or other equivalent application to sell, a Product in the United States (the “Milestone Payment”).

(b) Buyer shall notify Seller in writing within 10 Business Days after the achievement of the milestone described in Section 2.5(a) above by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, and Buyer shall pay Seller the Milestone Payment on the date the first milestone payment described under “Milestone Event” in Section 7.02(a) of the License Agreement is due, and in any event not later than 60 days after such notification to Seller. Payment of the Milestone Payment to Seller shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account set forth on Schedule 2.1(b)(i) or otherwise specified in writing by Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.5, it is the intention of the Parties that the Exploitation of the Compound shall be exercised by Buyer and its Affiliates in accordance with their own business judgment and in their sole and absolute discretion. Accordingly, the following shall apply (and Seller hereby acknowledges, understands and agrees as follows):

(i) Buyer and its Affiliates shall have complete control and sole discretion with respect to decisions concerning the Exploitation of the Compound and such control and discretion by Buyer and its Affiliates could result in Seller receiving no Milestone Payment whatsoever;

(ii) neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates has any duty to Exploit the Compound, to exert any level of efforts in Exploiting the Compound or to achieve the milestone described in Section 2.5(a) above;

(iii) whether or not Buyer or any of its Affiliates Exploit the Compound, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates is prohibited from Exploiting any other compounds or products that may compete with the Compound, or prioritizing other compounds or products over the Compound;

(iv) personnel of Buyer and its Affiliates are only required to take actions in connection with the Exploitation of the Compound that such personnel believe to be in the best interests of Buyer and its Affiliates and they are not required to take into account the interests of Seller at all; and

(v) Seller shall not challenge in any subsequent Action any decision regarding the Exploitation of the Compound made by any director, officer, employee or agent of Buyer or any of its Affiliates in what such individual subjectively believes to be the best interests of Buyer (or such Affiliate), unless such Action constitutes a breach by

Buyer of any of its express obligations to make the Milestone Payment under this Section 2.5. For the avoidance of doubt, any obligations assumed by Buyer relating to or arising out of the License Agreement shall have no effect on the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5, and nothing herein, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give the Seller or any of its Affiliates any rights as a third party beneficiary of the License Agreement after the Closing.

Section 2.6. Third Party Consents. If the assignment or transfer of any asset included in the Purchased Assets or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, without the consent of a Third Party, would constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such Third Party, would be ineffective with respect to any party to an agreement concerning such asset, claim, right or benefit, or, upon assignment or transfer, would in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller or, upon transfer, Buyer (each, a “Non-Assignable Right”), then Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to obtain such consent after the execution of this Agreement until such consent is obtained. If any such consent cannot be obtained prior to the Closing, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Related Document, (a) this Agreement and the related instruments of transfer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of the applicable Non-Assignable Right, and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to obtain such consent as soon as possible after the Closing; and (b) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at its sole cost and expense, to obtain for Buyer substantially all of the practical benefit and burden of such Non-Assignable Right, including by (i) entering into appropriate and reasonable alternative arrangements on terms mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller and (ii) subject to the consent and control of Buyer, enforcement, at the cost and for the account of Buyer, of any and all rights of Seller against the other party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such other party or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Seller shall not be required to pay any amount to any such Third Party in connection with its obligations under this Section 2.6 and (y) the Lilly Consent shall be delivered at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(ii).

Section 2.7. Escrow Amount.

(a) In accordance with Section 2.1(b)(i), at the Closing, Buyer shall deposit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association with offices located in the State of New York (the “Escrow Agent”), an amount equal to the Escrow Amount, such amount plus all accumulated earnings thereon (such amounts, if any, “Escrow Consideration”) to constitute an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) to be governed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. To the extent available, the Escrow Fund shall be used to satisfy any indemnification amounts owed by Seller pursuant to Article VI.

(b) Upon the date that is 12 months from the Closing (the “Escrow Termination Date”), the Escrow Agent shall, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, release the remaining amount in the Escrow Fund at such time, less the Outstanding Claim Reserve at such time, to Seller. If at any time after the Escrow Termination Date the Outstanding Claim Reserve, as determined by a court or by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller, is less than the Escrow Fund at such time, then an amount equal to such difference shall be released to Seller.

(c) For purposes of this Section 2.7, “Outstanding Claim Reserve” as of any date means the sum of all amounts in good faith claimed by Buyer as of such date to be then owed to the Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of indemnity claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties as of such date in accordance with Article VI.

(d) All funds so released from the Escrow Fund shall include any Escrow Consideration earned thereon. The amount of any funds released from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 2.7(b) shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed a part of the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any Lien, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Upon the final release of all of the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agreement shall terminate.

Section 2.8. Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets and Seller’s obligations under Section 5.1(b) in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.8(a) (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). The Purchase Price Allocation shall be appropriately adjusted, based on good faith consultation between Buyer and Seller, in the event of an adjustment to the Purchase Price, including pursuant to Section 2.5 or Article VI.

(b) Seller and Buyer agree to act in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation, as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.8(a) if applicable, in any Tax Return, including any forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code or any provisions of any comparable Law, unless there has been a final “determination,” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code, pursuant to which the allocation is modified. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in the preparation of such Tax Returns and file such forms as required by applicable Law. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall take a position inconsistent therewith upon examination of any Tax Return, in any refund claim, or in any litigation or investigation, without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as required by applicable Law. In the event that the Purchase Price Allocation is disputed by any Taxing Authority, the Party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of such notice and resolution of the dispute.

Section 3.1. Organization, Standing and Power. Seller is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease or otherwise hold and operate its properties and other assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted, except where the failure to be in good standing or have such power or authority, individually or in the aggregate, has not been and would not reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to Seller or the Purchased Assets, taken as a whole. Seller is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing (in jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or to be in good standing individually or in the aggregate has not been and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has made available to Buyer, prior to the execution of this Agreement, complete and accurate copies of Seller’s certificate of incorporation (“Seller’s Charter”) and its bylaws (“Seller’s Bylaws”), in each case as amended to the date hereof.

Each of this Agreement and the Related Documents has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies. The Board of Directors of Seller, at a meeting duly called and held at which all directors of Seller were present, duly and unanimously adopted resolutions (a) approving and declaring advisable this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the other Related Documents, the Acquisition and the other Contemplated Transactions and (b) declaring that it is in the best interests of the stockholders of Seller that Seller enter into this Agreement and the Related Documents and consummate the Contemplated Transactions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement or such Related Documents, which resolutions have not been subsequently rescinded, modified or withdrawn in any way. No stockholder or other equity holder approval is required on behalf of Seller for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any Related Document.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Related Documents by Seller do not, and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and compliance by Seller with the provisions of this Agreement and the Related Documents will not, conflict with,

or result in any violation or breach of, or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to the loss of a benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien in or upon the Purchased Assets under, (i) Seller’s Charter or Seller’s Bylaws, (ii) any Contract to which Seller is a party or to which any of the Purchased Assets are subject or (iii) any (A) statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or other Law applicable to Seller or the Purchased Assets or (B) Order applicable to Seller or the Purchased Assets, except in the cases of clauses (ii) and (iii), where the conflict, violation, breach, default, termination, cancellation, acceleration or creation of a Lien, individually or in the aggregate, has not been and would not reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to the Purchased Assets, taken as a whole, or that would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation by Seller of the Contemplated Transactions.

(c) Except for the Lilly Consent, no consent, approval or authorization is required with respect to the License Agreement in connection with the assignment of the License Agreement to Buyer.

(d) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, action by or in respect of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required by or with respect to Seller or the Purchased Assets in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Related Document by Seller, the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer or the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 3.3. Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since February 18, 2015 (a) no event has occurred which would reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and (b) there has been no material loss, destruction or damage (in each case, whether or not insured) affecting the Purchased Assets.

Section 3.4. Good Title; Sufficiency of Assets.

(a) Except for the Seller Intellectual Property (which is addressed in Section 3.5), (i) Seller has good and marketable title to, or valid contract rights to, as applicable, all of the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and has the complete and unrestricted power and unqualified right to sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, as applicable, the Purchased Assets, (ii) there are no adverse claims of ownership to the Purchased Assets and Seller has not received written notice that any Person has asserted a claim of ownership or right of possession or use in or to any of the Purchased Assets, and (iii) at the Closing, Buyer will acquire from Seller good and marketable title to, or valid contract rights to, as applicable, all of the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

(b) Except for the Excluded Assets specifically described in Section 2.2(b)(i), (v) and (vii), the Purchased Assets constitute (i) all of the interests, assets and rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates acquired, conceived, collected, compiled, generated, reduced to practice or otherwise made or used in connection with the Compound Program and (ii) all of the interests, assets and rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates used, held for use or intended to be used in connection with the Compound.

Section 3.5. Intellectual Property.

(a) Subject to Sections 3.5(b) and 3.5(f), Seller exclusively owns, or validly Controls, all Seller Intellectual Property (including all Intellectual Property Rights set forth on Schedule 2.2(a)(iii)), in each case free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Each such Intellectual Property Right will, immediately subsequent to the Closing, be transferred to, and Controlled by, Buyer on substantially the same terms with which Seller, immediately prior to the Closing, Controlled such Intellectual Property Right. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.5(a) does not constitute a representation or warranty of Seller relating to infringement, misappropriation or other violation of the Intellectual Property Rights of any Person.

(b) To Seller’s Knowledge, Seller has not infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated and is not infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating (including with respect to the discovery, development, clinical testing, manufacture, distribution, advertising, use, Exploitation or sale by Seller of the Compound) the rights of any other Person with regard to Seller’s possession or use of any Seller Intellectual Property for the Compound Program as presently conducted. To Seller’s Knowledge, no other Person or Persons has infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated or is or are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the Seller Intellectual Property.

(c) No claims against Seller are pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened with regard to (i) the Control or use of any Seller Intellectual Property; (ii) any actual or potential infringement, misappropriation or unauthorized use of Seller Intellectual Property; (iii) any actual or potential infringement, misappropriation or unauthorized use of any Third Party’s Intellectual Property Rights with respect to any Seller Intellectual Property or the Compound Program; or (iv) the validity or enforceability of any Seller Intellectual Property. Seller has the right to bring actions for infringement, including all rights to recover damages for past infringement (to the extent permitted by applicable Law), of all Seller Intellectual Property, subject, in the case of licensed Seller Intellectual Property, to the terms of the License Agreement.

(d) Schedule 2.2(a)(iii) sets forth, as of the date hereof, a complete and accurate list of all patents and applications therefor, registered trademarks and applications therefor (if any), domain name registrations (if any), copyright registrations (if any) and all invention disclosures, that, in each case, are Controlled by Seller and related to the Compound Program or the Compound. The patent applications listed in Schedule 2.2(a)(iii) that are owned by Seller are (and such applications that are otherwise Controlled by Seller are, to Seller’s Knowledge) pending and have not been abandoned and have been and continue to be timely prosecuted. All patents, registered trademarks and applications therefor owned by Seller that are related to the Compound Program or the Compound have been (and all such patents, registered trademarks and applications otherwise Controlled by Seller have been, to Seller’s Knowledge) duly registered or filed with or issued by each appropriate Governmental Authority in the jurisdiction indicated in Schedule 2.2(a)(iii) , all related necessary affidavits of continuing use have been (or, with respect to licenses, to Seller’s Knowledge have been) timely filed, and all related necessary maintenance fees have been (or, with respect to licenses, to Seller’s Knowledge have been) timely paid to continue all such rights in effect. None of the patents listed in Schedule 2.2(a)(iii) that are owned by Seller has (and no such patents that are otherwise

Controlled by Seller have, to Seller’s Knowledge) expired, been disclaimed, in whole or in part, been declared invalid, in whole or in part, or held to be unenforceable by any Governmental Authority. None of the trademarks or trademark applications listed in Schedule 2.2(a)(iii) that are owned by Seller are (and no such trademarks or trademark applications that are otherwise Controlled by Seller are, to Seller’s Knowledge) involved in or the subject of any ongoing oppositions, cancellations or other proceedings. None of the patents or patent applications listed in Schedule 2.2(a)(iii) that are owned by Seller are (and no such patents or patent applications that are otherwise Controlled by Seller are, to Seller’s Knowledge) involved in or the subject of any material ongoing interferences, oppositions, reissues, reexaminations or other proceedings, including ex parte (other than ex parte proceedings in connection with such patent applications) and post-grant proceedings, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or in any foreign patent office or similar administrative agency. Each of the patents and patent applications listed in Schedule 2.2(a)(iii) that are owned by Seller properly identifies (and, to Seller’s Knowledge, such patents and applications otherwise Controlled by Seller properly identify) each and every inventor of the claims thereof as determined in accordance with the Laws of the jurisdiction in which such patent is issued or such patent application is pending. Each inventor named on the patents and patent applications listed in Schedule 2.2(a)(iii) that are owned by Seller has executed (and, to Seller’s Knowledge, such inventors named on such patents and applications that are otherwise Controlled by Seller and material to the Compound Program or the Compound have executed) an agreement assigning his, her or its entire right, title and interest in and to such patent or patent application, and the inventions embodied and claimed therein, to Seller, or in the case of licensed Patents, to the appropriate owners. To Seller’s Knowledge, no such inventor has any contractual or other obligation that would preclude any such assignment or otherwise conflict with the obligations of such inventor to Seller under such agreement with Seller.

(e) No current or former director, officer, employee, contractor or consultant of Seller owns any rights in or to any Seller Intellectual Property. All current and former directors, officers, employees, contractors and consultants of Seller who contributed to the discovery, creation or development of any Seller Intellectual Property did so (i) within the scope of his or her employment such that it constituted a work made for hire and all Seller Intellectual Property arising therefrom became the exclusive property of Seller or (ii) pursuant to a written agreement, assigned all of his or her rights in Seller Intellectual Property to Seller. No current or former directors, officers, employees, contractors or consultants of Seller has made or, to Sellers’ Knowledge, threatened to make any claim or challenge against Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with their contribution to the discovery, creation or development of any Seller Intellectual Property.

(f) Schedule 3.5(f) sets forth a complete and accurate list as of the date hereof of all options, rights, licenses or interests of any kind relating to any Seller Intellectual Property (i) granted to Seller by any other Person (other than software licenses for commercially available off the shelf software and except pursuant to employee proprietary inventions agreements (or similar employee agreements)), or (ii) granted by Seller to any other Person (including any obligations of such other Person to make any fixed or contingent payments, including royalty payments). All material obligations for payment of monies currently due and payable by Seller and other material obligations in connection with such options, rights, licenses or interests have been satisfied in a timely manner.

(g) Seller has used reasonable efforts to make all filings with Governmental Authorities and obtain all grants and registrations as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect the Seller Intellectual Property.

(h) Seller has used reasonable efforts and taken commercially reasonable steps designed to maintain in confidence its Trade Secrets and other confidential information acquired, conceived, developed, collected, compiled, generated, reduced to practice or otherwise made or used in connection with the Compound Program or related to the Compound, including through the development of a policy for the protection of intellectual property and periodic training for all employees of Seller on the implementation of such policy; requiring all employees of Seller to execute confidentiality agreements with respect to intellectual property developed for or obtained from Seller; and entering into licenses and Contracts that generally require licensees, contractors and other Third Parties with access to the Trade Secrets or other confidential information to keep such Trade Secrets or other confidential information confidential.

(i) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Related Documents by Seller do not, and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and compliance by Seller with the provisions of this Agreement and any Related Document will not, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination, cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation or to the loss of a benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien in or upon or the transfer of, any Seller Intellectual Property that is material to the Compound Program or the Compound.

(j) Other than the Compound Program, Seller has no program with respect to, or active plan to research, develop or commercialize by itself or with a Third Party, any small molecule compound that targets kappa opioid receptors as its primary mechanism of action.

Section 3.6. Assumed Contracts.

(a) After giving effect to the termination of the Excluded Contracts pursuant to Section 5.5, there are no Contracts, other than the Assumed Contracts, (i) to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is bound, in either case, that (A) were entered into in connection with the Compound Program or (B) are related to the Compound Program or the Compound or (ii) to which any of the Purchased Assets are subject.

(b) The Assumed Contracts are legal, valid and binding agreements of Seller and are in full force and effect and are enforceable against Seller and, to Seller’s Knowledge, each other party thereto, in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies. Seller has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under the Assumed Contracts, and Seller is not and will not be (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) in breach or default in any material respect thereunder and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no other party to any Assumed Contract is (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) in breach or default in any material respect thereunder. Seller has not

received any written notice of intention to terminate any Assumed Contract or of any claim of breach with respect to the performance of Seller’s obligations under any Assumed Contract.

Section 3.7. Compliance with Law. The business and operations of Seller as such business and operations relate to the Purchased Assets and the Compound Program (i) have been since February 18, 2015 and are conducted in all respects in compliance with all applicable Laws, except for failures to be in compliance that individually or in the aggregate have not been and would not reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to the Purchased Assets, taken as a whole, and (ii) have had since February 18, 2015 and have all material Permits, except where the failure to have such Permits individually or in the aggregate has not been and would not reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to the Purchased Assets, taken as a whole.

There is no outstanding Order of any Governmental Authority against Seller arising out of or relating to the Purchased Assets or that would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Purchased Assets or that would reasonably be expected to result in restraining, enjoining or otherwise preventing the completion by Seller of the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 3.9. Taxes.

(a) Seller has timely paid all Taxes required to be paid by it, the non-payment of which would result in a Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any Purchased Asset, would otherwise adversely affect the Purchased Assets or would result in Buyer becoming liable or responsible therefor.

(b) Seller has established, in accordance with GAAP as applied on a basis consistent with that of preceding periods, adequate reserves for the payment of all Taxes that arise from or with respect to the Purchased Assets and are incurred or attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, the non-payment of which would result in a Lien on any Purchased Asset, would otherwise adversely affect the Purchased Assets, or would result in Buyer becoming liable therefor.

Each such Regulatory Authorization (A) has, to Seller’s Knowledge, been validly issued or acknowledged by the appropriate Regulatory Authority and is in full force and effect and (B) is transferable to Buyer.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10(b), there have been no drug-related adverse event or events in patients in a clinical trial conducted or sponsored in relation to the Compound Program, the effect of which would reasonably be expected to (x) prevent Buyer from obtaining approval from a Regulatory Authority to market a Product in the United States or (y) delay such approval to such an extent that the delay (taking into account the expected length of such delay and the basis or reasons therefor) would materially impair the aggregate financial value to be derived by Buyer from a Product.

Reg. 46191 (September 10, 1991) or for any other Governmental Authority to invoke any similar policy. Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s Knowledge, any officer, employee or agent of Seller has been convicted of any crime or engaged in any conduct for which debarment is mandated by or authorized by 21 U.S.C.

ARTICLE V

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 5.1. Confidentiality; Non-Competition.

(a) Confidentiality.

(i) Each of Buyer and Seller acknowledges that the information provided to them in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to information included in or related to the Compound Program or the Purchased Assets.

(ii) Seller recognizes that it possesses information of a confidential or secret nature in both written and unwritten form, which has unique commercial value as related to the Compound Program or the Purchased Assets (and which is existing as of the Closing Date) (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information”). For purposes of this Agreement, the foregoing “Confidential Information” (A) shall include each of the following, to the extent constituting a Purchased Asset: (1) any pre-clinical, clinical and pharmaceutical development data for the Compound; (2) Trade Secrets, processes, computer programs, methods, data, know-how, prototypes, improvements, inventions, techniques, product plans, strategies and forecasts, including any development plans for the use of the Compound; (3) forms, contracts or promotional materials created for or used in relation to the Purchased Assets; (4) any correspondence, memoranda, files,

software, databases, electronic or other media of any kind which may be in Seller’s possession or under Seller’s Control or to which Seller may have had access, and which contain Confidential Information; and (5) any information, knowledge and data contained or included in or related to the Compound Program or the Purchased Assets and (B) shall not include any information which (1) is or becomes generally available to and known by the general public (other than as a result of a disclosure through the actions of Seller or any of its Representatives in violation of this Section 5.1 or any other obligation of confidentiality owed to Buyer or any of its Affiliates), (2) is independently developed by Seller after the Closing without reference to the Confidential Information or any Purchased Assets or (3) any information used in the ownership and operation of the Excluded Assets to the extent not relating to the Purchased Assets. Information that is not novel or copyrighted may nonetheless be Confidential Information.

(iii) Seller agrees that, following the Closing, all Confidential Information shall be the sole property of Buyer and its assigns.

(iv) Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, keep in strict confidence all Confidential Information and will not use or disclose any Confidential Information or anything relating to it, in whole or in part, nor permit others to use or disclose it in any way, without the prior written consent of Buyer. Seller further agrees to inform Buyer immediately in writing in the event of any breach of this obligation of confidentiality that becomes known to Seller.

(v) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller is permitted to disclose the Confidential Information pursuant to a court order or other requirement of a judicial, administrative or governmental proceeding, or otherwise to the extent required for Seller to comply with applicable Law, provided that, in each instance, Seller (A) notifies Buyer of the court order or other requirement promptly after Seller becomes aware of the court order or other requirement (unless such notification would be unlawful); (B) cooperates with Buyer in seeking a protective order or similar relief to protect the confidentiality of the information to be disclosed (in each case at the expense of Buyer); and (C) limits the disclosure to what is requested by the court order or other requirement.

(b) Non-Competition. Seller agrees that for a period of five years commencing upon the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), none of Seller or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof (now existing or hereafter incorporated, formed or otherwise organized) shall, alone or in conjunction with any Third Party, directly or indirectly, conduct human clinical studies with respect to, or manufacture or commercialize, any product containing or comprising a selective Kappa Opioid Receptor Antagonist in any geographic area (such product, a “Competing Product”). In the event that Seller is acquired by or merges with a Third Party that is engaged in human clinical studies with respect to, or the manufacture or commercialization of, a Competing Product, then Seller shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.1(b) with respect to any such Competing Product, and the terms of this Section 5.1(b) will not apply in any way to limit or restrict such Third Party or its Affiliates (other than Seller and its direct and indirect subsidiaries) with respect to the conduct of human

clinical studies with respect to, or the development, use, manufacture, marketing, sale, promotion or commercialization of, any such Competing Product.

(i) Seller agrees and acknowledges that the covenants in this Section 5.1 are reasonable and valid in all respects (including with respect to the subject matter, Restricted Period, and geographical area) and are necessary to protect the interests of Buyer in the Compound, the other Purchased Assets and the Confidential Information, and such covenants represent only a limited restraint. Further, Seller acknowledges that, without the restrictions contained in this Section 5.1, the benefits of the Contemplated Transactions could be devalued, lost or circumvented, particularly in light of the nature and ongoing development of the Compound, and that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement without the restrictions contained in this Section 5.1.

(ii) Seller acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 5.1 are necessary and reasonable to protect Buyer in the conduct of its business and are a material inducement to Buyer’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and its willingness to enter into the Contemplated Transactions.

(iii) It is the desire and intent of the Parties that this Section 5.1 will be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any restriction set forth in this Section 5.1 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason (e.g., because it extends for too long a period of time, over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area), this Section 5.1 shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable. The agreements contained in this Section 5.1 shall each constitute a separate agreement independently supported by good and adequate consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties hereby acknowledge that Seller will benefit substantially from the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and that the consideration that Seller will receive upon such consummation is adequate to support Seller’s agreement to be bound by the covenants set forth herein.

(d) Remedies. In accordance with Section 7.8(c), Buyer will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce the provisions hereof, in addition to such other remedies to which Buyer may be entitled, including the recovery of money damages.

(e) Extensions of Limitations. If Seller or any of its subsidiaries violate any term or provision of this Section 5.1, the duration set forth in this Section 5.1 shall automatically be extended as against Seller and its subsidiaries for a period equal to the periods during which Seller or such subsidiary shall have been in violation of this Section 5.1.

Section 5.2. Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Transfer Taxes. All recordation, transfer, documentary, excise, sales, value added, use, stamp, conveyance or other similar Taxes, duties or governmental charges, and

all recording or filing fees or similar costs, imposed or levied by reason of, in connection with or attributable to this Agreement, the Related Documents or the Contemplated Transactions (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be the borne equally between Seller and Buyer.

(b) Allocation of Taxes. All ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (collectively, the “Apportioned Obligations”) shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer based on the number of days of such taxable period after the Closing Date (such portion of such taxable period, the “Post-Closing Tax Period”). Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Apportioned Obligations that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Apportioned Obligations that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period.

(c) Reimbursement. Apportioned Obligations and Transfer Taxes shall be timely paid, and all applicable filings, reports and returns shall be filed, as provided by applicable Law. The paying Party (if not specified as the responsible Party therefor) shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non-paying Party in accordance with Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b), as the case may be. Upon payment of any such Apportioned Obligation or Transfer Tax, the paying Party shall present a statement to the non-paying Party setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the paying Party is entitled under Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b), as the case may be, together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount to be reimbursed. The non-paying Party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than 10 days after the presentation of such statement (including, if Buyer is the non-paying Party and Buyer so elects, by distribution of funds from the Escrow Fund and, if so elected, Buyer and Seller shall provide joint instructions to the Escrow Agent on a timely basis so that distributions can be made by the Escrow Agent within the time period required by this Section 5.2(c)). For the avoidance of doubt, reimbursement for Transfer Taxes or Apportioned Obligations shall be governed first by this Section 5.2(c) and, if unsatisfied, then pursuant to Article VI.

(d) Tax Withholding. The Parties agree that all payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes or other amounts unless required by applicable Law. In the event Buyer determines that it is required under applicable Law to withhold and pay any Tax to any Taxing Authority in respect of any payments made to Seller, the amount of such Tax shall be deducted by Buyer and paid to the relevant Taxing Authority, and Buyer shall notify Seller thereof and shall promptly furnish to Seller all copies of any Tax certificate or other documentation evidencing such withholding. Buyer shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to Seller in respect of any amounts paid to any Taxing Authority pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. In the event that any withholding Tax shall subsequently be found to be due, payment of such Tax shall be the responsibility of Seller. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other, including by completing or filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable income tax treaty or applicable Law, to claim any applicable exemption from, or reduction of, any such applicable Taxes. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld by Buyer from any payment hereunder to Seller, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller.

(e) Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Each of Seller and Buyer shall (i) provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other Party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority or Action relating to liability for Taxes in connection with the Purchased Assets, (ii) retain and provide the other with any records or other information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit or examination, Action or determination and (iii) provide the other with any final determination of any such audit or examination, Action or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of the other for any period.

(f) Tax Treatment of Payments. Except to the extent otherwise required by Law, Seller and Buyer shall treat any payment under Section 2.5 and Article VI as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

Section 5.3. Public Announcements. Neither Buyer nor Seller, nor any Affiliate of either Party, shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to the provisions of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Related Document, either Party may issue a press release or make a public statement with respect to the Contemplated Transactions without the consent of the other Party as may be required by Law or the rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange or market (it being understood that Seller will make a public announcement and appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including filing this Agreement), and conduct investor calls, with respect to this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions). If any Party proposes to issue a press release or make a public statement with respect to the Contemplated Transactions pursuant to this Section 5.3, it will provide copies of such press release or public statement to the other Party before such press release or public statement is made to allow the other Party to comment upon and agree on such press release or public statement, unless the provision of such press release or public statement to the other Party before such press release or public statement is made (or any delay in reaching agreement with respect thereto) would be in breach of any Law or the rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange or market, in which case a copy of such press release or public statement will be provided to the other Party as soon as reasonably practicable or in accordance with such Law, rules or regulations.

Section 5.4. Regulatory Matters.

(b) Buyer Responsibilities. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4(a), after the Closing Date, Buyer (on behalf of Seller to the extent required under Applicable Law), at its cost, shall be solely responsible (subject to Seller’s obligations set forth in clause (c) below) and liable for (i) taking all actions, paying all fees and conducting all communication with the appropriate Regulatory Authority required by Law in respect of the Regulatory Authorizations,

including preparing and filing all reports (including adverse drug experience reports) with the appropriate Regulatory Authority; (ii) investigating all complaints and reports of adverse drug experiences with respect to the Compound pursuant to such Regulatory Authorizations (whether Exploited before or after transfer of such Regulatory Authorizations); and (iii) fulfilling all other applicable legal and regulatory obligations of a holder of each Regulatory Authorization.

(c) Complaints. After the Closing Date, Seller shall notify Buyer within 24 hours (or such shorter period required by Law) if Seller receives a complaint or a report of an adverse drug experience with respect to the Compound.

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or any Related Document (without giving effect to any materiality threshold or qualifier contained therein, including in the definition of Material Adverse Effect, except that this parenthetical shall not apply to Section 3.3(a));

The consent of Seller shall not be required in order for Buyer to be indemnified under this Article VI.

(c) In the case of a Buyer Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.1, for as long as there are funds available in the Escrow Fund to cover the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ indemnifiable Losses, any and all Losses payable by Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to such indemnifiable Losses will be paid in cash first out of the Escrow Fund, and in the event such Losses exceed, or are not paid and satisfied in full from, the Escrow Fund, any amounts not satisfied by the Escrow Fund will be paid directly by Seller to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Parties (subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this Article VI).

Section 6.2. Indemnification of Seller Indemnified Parties. (a) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, equity holders, agents and Representatives (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) against and hold each Seller Indemnified Party harmless from any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any such Seller Indemnified Party arising from, relating to or otherwise in connection with:

Section 6.3. Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) and Section 6.2(a)(i):

(i) unless and until the aggregate of all Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, would, but for this paragraph (i), be entitled to indemnification hereunder exceeds on a cumulative basis $750,000 (the “Indemnity Threshold”), at which point each Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall be entitled to be indemnified for the aggregate of all Losses in excess of the Indemnity Threshold; and

(ii) unless the amount of an individual claim for Losses under Section 6.1(a)(i) or Section 6.2(a)(i) (aggregating all claims and Losses arising from substantially the same or similar facts as applicable to each of Section 6.1(a)(i) or Section 6.2(a)(i)), as applicable, exceeds $25,000, and no such claim shall be applied toward the Indemnity Threshold;

provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3(a) shall not apply with respect to any act of intentional fraud or (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2(a), 3.4(a), 3.5(a), 3.9 or 3.13 (the “Specified Representations”) or (ii) any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2(a) or 4.5.

(b) Other than in the case of any act of intentional fraud (where the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ and the Seller Indemnified Parties’ rights shall not be limited by anything set forth in this Article VI to the contrary), in no event shall the aggregate amount for which Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall be indemnified and held harmless under Section 6.1(a)(i) and Section 6.2(a)(i): (i) with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of any of the representations and warranties of (A) Seller other than the Specified Representations or (B) Buyer other than those set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2(a) or 4.5, in either case, exceed $3,750,000, and (ii) with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of any of (A) the Specified Representations or (B) the representations set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2(a) or 4.5, in either case, exceed the Purchase Price (the “Cap”).

(c) The amount of any Losses payable pursuant to this Article VI shall be reduced to reflect any amount actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from a Third Party (less the cost to collect or recover such amount). If the Indemnified Party realizes any such amount after the date on which a payment pursuant to this Article VI has been made to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly make payment to the Indemnifying Party equal to such amount; provided that such payment shall not exceed the amount of the payment made to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VI. For the avoidance of doubt,

this Section 6.3(c) shall not be construed to apply to any amounts recovered from any self insurance, captive insurance vehicle, or other similar arrangement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Buyer nor Seller shall be liable for any special, indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, except (i) to the extent actually awarded in a Third Party Claim or (ii) in the case of the foregoing damages other than punitive damages, to the extent such damages are reasonably foreseeable.

Section 6.4. Indemnification Claims. (a) In order for a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 6.1 or 6.2 in respect of, arising out of or involving an Action initiated or commenced by or on behalf of a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify, with respect to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1, Seller, or, with respect to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2, Buyer (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Third Party Claim (including in such notice a brief description of the applicable claim(s), including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known by such Indemnified Party) within 20 Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of actual notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 6.1 or 6.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (it being understood that the failure to have released the applicable portion of the Escrow Amount at the expected release time due to an inability to ascertain the amount of Loss owed to a Buyer Indemnified Party at such time shall not constitute such prejudice). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or opposition to such Third Party Claim (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) with counsel selected by it and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party within 20 Business Days after it has been notified of the Third Party Claim that it will defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for Losses related to such Third Party Claim (subject to the Indemnity Threshold and the Cap, to the extent applicable, and the other limitations set forth herein), (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages, does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party and does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (iii) the amount claimed in such Third Party Claim, taken together with the reasonably estimated costs of defense thereof and the claimed amount with respect to any unresolved claims for indemnification under this Article VI then pending, is (A) if applicable, greater than the remaining portion, if any, of the Indemnity Threshold and (B) if applicable, less than the Cap, (iv) the Indemnified Party has not been advised in writing by outside counsel that a substantive legal conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim, and (v) the Third Party Claim does not allege the infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party; provided, that, if a Third Party Claim arises out of the License Agreement, Buyer, in its capacity as either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, shall have the exclusive right to undertake the defense or opposition to such Third Party Claim. Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may settle such Third Party Claim

without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if (1) the claimant in such Third Party Claim provides to the Indemnified Party an unqualified release of such Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (2) such settlement does not involve any injunctive relief binding upon the Indemnified Party, (3) such settlement does not encumber any of the material assets of the Indemnified Party or impose any restriction or condition that would apply to or materially affect such Indemnified Party or the conduct of such Indemnified Party’s businesses and (4) such settlement does not involve any admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party; and provided, further, that the Indemnified Party may settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party if such settlement satisfies the criteria set forth in the foregoing clauses (1) through (4), mutatis mutandis, with respect to the Indemnifying Party, and such Third Party Claim (x) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief or (y) involves money damages which are, taken together with the reasonably estimated costs of defense thereof, greater than the Cap, if applicable (it being understood that any such settlement without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent shall not be evidence in determining whether the Indemnifying Party must provide indemnification to, or hold harmless, the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim).

(b) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement other than in respect of, arising out of or involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party (including in such notice a brief description of the applicable claim(s), including damages in good faith sought or estimated, to the extent actually known by such Indemnified Party); provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 6.1 or 6.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (it being understood that the failure to have released the applicable portion of the Escrow Amount at the expected release time due to an inability to ascertain the amount of Loss owed to a Buyer Indemnified Party at such time shall not constitute such prejudice). If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 20 Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes the indemnity claimed by the Indemnified Party under Section 6.1 or 6.2 such indemnity claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability to be indemnified under Section 6.1 or 6.2 and the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for the amount of the Losses stated in such notice to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the Losses (or any portion thereof) are estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Losses (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined, but in all cases subject to the Indemnity Threshold and the Cap, to the extent applicable, and the other limitations set forth herein.

Section 6.5. Termination of Indemnification. (a) The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Party hereto (i) pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(i) and 6.2(a)(i), shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 6.5(b) and (ii) pursuant to the other clauses of Sections 6.1(a) and 6.2(a) shall terminate on the expiration of any statute of limitations applicable thereto; provided, however, that as to clause (i) above such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any Losses as to which the Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 6.4.

(b) All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that, except in the case of intentional fraud, (i) the Specified Representations and the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2(a) and 4.5 shall terminate on the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable thereto, and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement other than the Specified Representations and the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2(a) and 4.5 shall terminate on the date that is 15 months after the Closing Date; provided, further, such covenants and agreements of the Parties shall survive until they are fully performed or, if earlier, until the expiration thereof set forth in the terms of such covenants and agreements. It is the express intent of the parties that each termination or expiration date contemplated by this Section 6.5(b)(ii) may be shorter than the statute of limitations that may otherwise apply, and by contract, the applicable statute of limitations is hereby reduced.

Section 6.6. Exclusive Remedies. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that after the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Buyer and Seller for any breach of the representations or warranties or nonperformance of or default under any covenants or agreements of Buyer or Seller contained in this Agreement or any Related Document, or otherwise in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (other than (i) claims for equitable relief under Section 7.8 and (ii) claims of, or causes of action arising from, intentional fraud).

Section 7.7. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF.

Section 7.8. Enforcement.

(a) Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the state courts of New York located in New York County, and (ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions. Each Party agrees to commence any such action, suit or proceeding either in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the state courts of New York located in New York County. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by the U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in New York with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 7.8. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions in (x) the state courts of New York located in New York County, and (y) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and

agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY. Each Party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Party would not, in the event of any action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement, by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 7.8(b).

(c) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

Section 7.9. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement or any Related Document is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement or such Related Document shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement or such Related Document so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 7.10. Amendment; Waiver. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such modification, amendment or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of either Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance by the other Party with any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained herein. The waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
