Thera agrees that the hypothec and security interest granted hereby shall be at all times opposable to Third Parties and shall rank ahead and have priority over any other hypothec

or security interest granted by Thera at any time other than any hypothec or security interest on present and future accounts receivable and inventory granted by Thera in favor of any commercial lender to Thera (the “Banking Liens”). At the request of Thera, EMD Serono hereby agrees and covenants to cede its rank, subordinate and postpone its hypothec and security interest created hereunder to any Banking Lien that may be granted by Thera at any time and from time to time.

Thera will immediately advise EMD Serono in writing of any fact or occurrence that constitutes an Event of Default.

10.15 Provision of Information.

10.17 Acceleration. Upon an Event of Default, EMD Serono may elect in its sole discretion without any notice or demand by EMD Serono (a) to cause all obligations of Thera under Section 10.1 which are not then due to immediately be due and payable, and (b) to require immediate payment by Thera of an amount that would have been payable under Section 10.2 for the calendar quarter ending immediately prior to the date such Event of Default has occurred and the calendar quarter in which such Event of Default has occurred, calculated assuming Net Sales to be the amount of Net Sales for the most recent calendar quarter for which Net Sales data is available, with an adjustment to such payment once the Net Sales data is available for such calendar quarter in the case of any underpayment or overpayment. Upon an Event of Default, EMD Serono may also exercise any and all of the rights and recourses it may have hereunder or under Law and may, in its sole discretion, enforce and realize its hypothec and security interest, including the exercise of the hypothecary rights in virtue of the Civil Code of Québec or any similar rights in any other jurisdictions. EMD Serono may exercise its rights as secured creditor against all or any part of the property hypothecated or charged hereby and shall not be bound to exercise such rights against all such property. Upon delivery by EMD Serono of its intention to exercise its hypothecary right or other secured creditor right, Thera shall, and shall cause any other person in possession of property hypothecated or charged hereby to, immediately surrender it to EMD Serono.

Press Release

THERATECHNOLOGIES REGAINS U.S. MARKETING RIGHTS TO EGRIFTA^®

Montreal, Canada – December 13, 2013—Theratechnologies Inc. (TSX: TH) today announced that it has reached an agreement with EMD Serono to regain all rights under the current collaboration and licensing agreement entered into in 2008 with EMD Serono, including commercialization rights for EGRIFTA^® (tesamorelin for injection) in the United States.

“This is a significant moment in the company’s history. Having marketing rights for our product in the U.S. will give us the platform we need to accelerate growth and drive profitability. From a R&D-focused company, we are now evolving into an integrated specialty pharmaceutical entity”, said Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxx, President and CEO, Theratechnologies Inc.

“EMD Serono is proud to have brought EGRIFTA^® to market, making it available in the U.S. to the HIV community,” said Paris Panayiotopoulos, President and Managing Director. “We are confident that it will be in good hands with Theratechnologies. We will work closely throughout the transition to ensure minimal disruption for patients. EMD Serono remains committed to the HIV community.”

EMD Serono agreed to terminate its collaboration and licensing agreement with Theratechonologies in consideration of an early termination fee of USD 20 million payable over a five-year period starting on the first anniversary of the closing date. Starting in 2016, Theratechnologies will also pay an undisclosed, increasing royalty based on annual net sales. Royalties will be paid until a cumulative aggregate amount is reached or until January 1, 2024, the first of these events to occur. National Bank Financial acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Theratechnologies for this transaction.

As a result of the termination of the collaboration and licensing agreement, Theratechnologies will be responsible for all operations in the U.S. relating to EGRIFTA^®, including the conduct of the post-approval commitments mandated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

“The transaction represents a cornerstone of the Company’s business plan to maximize the commercial potential for EGRIFTA^® in the United States and elsewhere. By regaining rights to EGRIFTA^®, we will have full control over a product that we know intimately,” added Xx. Xxxxxxx.

Key resources to support U.S. activities

To add commercial and marketing expertise to its management team, Theratechnologies has hired Xxx. Xxxx Xxxxxx as Chief Commercial Officer. Xxx. Xxxxxx is a seasoned pharmaceutical professional who holds a M.B.A., a B. Pharm. and a Certificate in Chemistry. She has spent close to 30 years working in various positions at Merck & Co. in Canada and in the United States. As Vice President of Sales and Marketing, she was instrumental in developing strategies in several therapeutic fields and niche products including treatments indicated for people living with HIV.

Theratechnologies has retained the services of inVentiv Health to establish and manage its operations in the United States. The services provided by inVentiv will include sales force, marketing support, communication, regulatory, compliance, reimbursement and market access. All decisions regarding the commercialization of EGRIFTA^® will be made from the Company’s head office in Montreal, Canada.

Transition

The closing of the transaction is expected to occur during Theratechnologies’ second fiscal quarter of 2014 to allow for a proper transition. Until closing, the original agreement will continue to apply and measures will be implemented, in collaboration with EMD Serono, to ensure a seamless transition for patients, pharmacists, physicians and other stakeholders.

Conference call for analysts

Theratechnologies will hold a conference call today at 9:00 a.m. (ET) to discuss this morning’s announcement. The call will be hosted by Xxx Xxxxxxx, President and Chief Executive Officer. The conference call will be open to questions from financial analysts. Media and other interested individuals are invited to participate in the call on a “listen-only” basis.

These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the fact that Theratechnologies will have all the distribution network, licenses and permits necessary to continue the distribution of EGRIFTA^® seamlessly on and after the closing date, that sales of EGRIFTA^® will not decrease during the transition period, that Theratechnologies will be able to increase sales of EGRIFTA^® overtime and control its expenses, that EGRIFTA^® will continue to be reimbursed by the same third-party payors in the United States, that no shortage of EGRIFTA^® will occur, that our third-party manufacturer will be able to manufacture and timely deliver EGRIFTA^® to meet market demand, that no conflict will occur with our third-party service providers, that our intellectual property is adequately protected and that no event will occur having the effect of enjoining the closing of the transaction described herein and that EGRIFTA^® will not be withdrawn from the U.S. market.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk that an event occurs resulting in the issuance of an order having the effect of enjoining the closing of the transaction, that demand for EGRIFTA^® decreases, that a product shortage occurs as a result of problems with the manufacturing process of EGRIFTA^® or our third-party manufacturer, that EGRIFTA^® is no longer on the list of reimbursed drugs by some or all of the current third-party payors, that the distribution network is not fully in place by the closing date or that all licenses and permits are not obtained by Theratechnologies by such date and that unexpected events occur resulting in unplanned expenses in the operation of Theratechnologies.
