Except as set forth herein, Buyer shall not have any right to sell in the Territory or elsewhere any Inventory bearing the Seller’s trade dress (including Seller’s trademarks). During the Transition Period, it is understood and agreed that Buyer may not sell its own labeled Econazole Nitrate Cream 1% drug product.
(b) Distribution Efforts by Seller. During the Transition Period, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to distribute and sell in the Territory the Inventory and any Products delivered to Seller pursuant to the Pending Purchase Orders in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, with the same level of effort Seller uses for its own products and customers and in compliance with all Applicable Laws. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its existing relationships with its customers for the Product and seek to transfer to Buyer such relationships once the technical transfer of the Product to Buyer has been completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will not transfer any customer contracts to Buyer, and Buyer shall be solely responsible to enter into its own customer contracts relating to the Products.
(c) Pricing. During the Transition Period, Seller shall have sole discretion over establishing the price at which it sells the Products (subject to compliance with Applicable Laws); provided, however, Seller shall not reduce a contract price with a customer for an SKU of a Product below the lower of (i) the [***], or (ii) [***] in effect as of the Closing; provided, further, that Buyer understands that contract prices as of the Closing for certain customers and certain SKUs are below the Inventory Price for the SKUs, and that, with respect to such customers and prices, the foregoing proviso shall only require consent of Buyer if Seller is proposing to modify the existing contract price for such customers and such SKUs during the Transition Period.

EXECUTION VERSION
(d) Payment of Net Distributable Profits to Buyer In consideration of the right and license to sell the Products during the Transition Period, Seller shall pay to Buyer the Net Distributable Profits from the sale of such Products during the Transition Period once the aggregate amount of Net Distributable Profits during the Transition Period exceeds the Closing Date Inventory Amount, and Seller shall be entitled to retain an amount equal to the Closing Date Inventory Amount. Within 30 days after the end of each month, Buyer will deliver to Seller a report of its Net Sales and Net Distributable Profits from the sale of Products during such calendar month and the remaining Closing Date Inventory Amount and will pay to Buyer all Net Distributable Profits once the aggregate amount of Net Distributable Profits exceeds the Closing Date Inventory Amount. All payments by Seller to Buyer will be in U.S. Dollars. Schedule 5.3 contains additional provisions regarding the calculations of Net Sales and Net Distributable Profits, and reports and information relating thereto.
(e) Payment by Buyer for Inventory Purchases by Seller. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to Seller’s out-of-pocket costs for the purchase of inventory of seller-labeled Products purchased by Seller pursuant to a Pending Purchase Order. Promptly upon receipt of seller-labeled Products delivered pursuant to a Pending Purchase Order, Seller shall provide to Buyer an invoice for the purchase price of such delivered Products plus the associated out-of-pocket costs for cartons and inserts, and Buyer shall pay to Seller the full amount indicated on the invoice within 30 days after receipt thereof. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Products to be manufactured by [***] will require inserts and cartons and that the cost of the inserts and cartons is not included in the purchase price to be paid by Seller to [***]. As requested by [***], Seller will ship inserts and cartons that it has on-hand to [***] for its use in manufacturing the Products that are subject to a Pending Purchase Order. Further, if the quantity of cartons and inserts on-hand at Seller is insufficient to meet [***] requirements, at the request of DPT, Seller will order additional inserts from its supplier in quantities required by [***] to complete the Pending Purchase Orders and will ship those inserts and cartons to [***] as requested by DPT. For convenience, if any amount due from Buyer to Seller under this Section 5.3(e) remains unpaid after the date such payment is due, Seller shall have the right to offset such amounts from the payment of Net Distributable Profits to Buyer.
(f) Termination of Transition Period. Upon termination or expiration of the Transition Period, (i) Seller will cease all distribution activities relating to the Products, (ii) [***], (iii) Buyer shall pay to Seller the purchase price for any Products that are the subject of a Pending Purchase Order and that have not yet been delivered, and (iv) Seller shall pay to Buyer any Net Distributable Profits through the termination or expiration of the Transition Period.

EXECUTION VERSION
(g) Customer Penalties. It is expressly understood that Seller shall be solely liable for any customer penalties resulting from a delay or failure to supply by [***] of the Products that are subject to the Pending Purchase Orders. The parties understand that Buyer will need to ship its own labeled Econazole Nitrate Cream 1% drug product in the SKUs currently offered by Seller immediately after Seller ceases to distribute the Products (whether because Seller exhausts its inventory of such Products or because of the termination or expiration of the Transition Period), and that a failure to do so may result in the incurrence by Seller of customer penalties relating to a failure to supply such Products. As such, Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller for all customer penalties resulting from a delay in delivery or failure of Buyer to supply its own labeled Econazole Nitrate Cream 1% drug product to Seller’s customers following the date that Seller ceases to distribute the Products (whether because Seller exhausts its inventory of such Products or because of the termination or expiration of the Transition Period), and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such penalties.
(h) Recalls. From and after the Closing, Buyer, at its cost, shall be solely responsible and liable for conducting all voluntary and involuntary recalls of units of Product sold after the Closing Date, which recalls are either required pursuant to Applicable Law or required or recommended by any Governmental Authority. Seller shall be responsible for all costs related to any voluntary and involuntary recalls of units of the Product sold by Seller prior to the Closing Date. Seller promptly shall notify Buyer in the event that a recall of product sold by Seller or its Affiliates is necessary or advisable.
(i) Returns. Any returns of the Product sold before the Closing Date in the Territory, whether returned to Buyer or Seller, shall be for the account of Seller. Any returns of the Product sold after the Closing Date in the Territory, whether returned to Buyer or Seller, shall be for the account of Buyer, and shall be credited against the calculation of Net Sales and Net Distributable Profits.
5.4 SELLER’S COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.
(a) In furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in order to secure the interests of the parties hereto, Seller agrees that it will not, for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, for itself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person sell an Econazole Nitrate Cream 1% product anywhere in the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller is acquired by a company that prior to the time of the acquisition is in the business of selling an Econazole Nitrate Cream 1% product, the acquisition of Seller by such company (and such parent company’s subsequent continued sale of an Econazole Nitrate Cream 1% product) shall not constitute a breach of this covenant not to compete. The provisions of this Section 5.4(a) shall no longer apply to Seller in the event that Buyer defaults in its obligation to pay the Milestone Payment (if and when due) and for so long as such default is continuing.

EXECUTION VERSION
(b) It is expressly understood and agreed that, if any of the agreements contained in this Section 5.4 are for any reason found to be unenforceable in an action, suit or proceeding before any federal or state court, such court (i) shall narrow the covenant not to compete or shall otherwise endeavor to reform the scope of such agreements in order to ensure that the application thereof is not unreasonably broad, oppressive or unenforceable and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall enforce such agreements as so reformed.
(c) All of the covenants in this Section 5.4 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Seller against Buyer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Buyer of such covenants. The covenants contained in Section 5.4 shall not be affected by any breach of any other provision hereof by any party hereto and shall have no effect if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated.
(d) Seller and Buyer hereby agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 5.4 are a material and substantial part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(e) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to Buyer as a result of a breach of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 5.4, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to Buyer for which monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy, it is hereby agreed that in addition to all other remedies that may be available to Buyer at law or in equity, Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance and any injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of the aforementioned restrictive covenants.

(C) subject to Section 6.2(a)(i)(d), Buyer’s promotion, use, sale or distribution of Product after the Closing Date;
(D) any Assumed Liability; and
(E) any personal injury (including death) caused by the use of the Products sold during or after the Transition Period.
(ii) any and all Losses arising from the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 6.2(b).
(c) All Claims for indemnification under this Section 6.2 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:
(i) Any party that may be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (an “Indemnified Party”) shall send a Claim Notice (as defined below) to the party obligated to indemnify it (an “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness upon becoming aware of any claim or other facts upon which a claim for indemnification might be based. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days from the date of receipt of such Claim Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. In case the Indemnifying Party shall object in writing to any claim made in accordance with this Section 6.2(c), the Indemnified Party shall have fifteen (15) days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Indemnifying Party. If after such fifteen (15) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the parties shall attempt in good faith for sixty (60) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. If no such agreement can be reached by Seller or Buyer, then either party may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter in accordance with the arbitration provision set forth in Section 7.10.

EXECUTION VERSION
(ii) In the event that any claim for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against an Indemnified Party by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim, including a copy of the claim made if the claim was made in writing, specifying the nature of such claim and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) (the “Claim Notice”). The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim and (ii) if the Indemnifying Party does not dispute such liability, whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend against such claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party is hereby authorized (but not obligated) prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading and to take any other action which the Indemnifying Party shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Indemnifying Party’s interests. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify hereunder and desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim and except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be diligently settled or prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion; provided that, unless the Indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing, the Indemnifying Party may not settle any matter (in whole or in part) unless such settlement includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement the Indemnified Party may do so at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim, whether by failure of the Indemnifying Party to give the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the Indemnified Party, without waiving any rights against the Indemnifying Party, may settle or defend against any such claim in the Indemnified Party’s sole discretion and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party the amount of any settlement or judgment and, on an ongoing basis, all indemnifiable costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, including interest from the date such costs and expenses were incurred.
(iii) Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent an Indemnified Party from making a claim, and an Indemnified Party may make a claim hereunder, for potential or contingent claims or demands provided the Claim Notice sets forth the specific basis for any such potential or contingent claim or demand to the extent then feasible and an Indemnified Party has reasonable grounds to believe that such a claim or demand may be made.

(iv) The Indemnified Party’s failure to give reasonably prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party of any actual, threatened or possible claim or demand which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
6.3 INDEMNIFICATION FOR BROKERAGE CLAIMS. Seller and Buyer each represents that no broker, finder or investment banker has been used in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Seller and Buyer shall mutually indemnify the other against any claim for a brokerage fee or commission arising from each other’s conduct or alleged conduct.

(d)
The amount of any Losses under Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b), as the case may be, shall be reduced by the net amount of any insurance proceeds paid to the Indemnified Party relating to such claim, after upward adjustment for any insurance proceeds repayment obligations owed as a result of receipt of such indemnification.

The arbitrators shall be selected as follows: Buyer and Seller shall, within 30 days of the date of demand by either party for arbitration, each select one independent, qualified arbitrator and the two arbitrators so selected shall select the third arbitrator within 30 days after their appointment as party arbitrators. Each party reserves the right to object to any individual arbitrator who shall be employed by or affiliated with a competing organization.

The parties shall each bear the expenses of the arbitrator chosen by it, and shall bear one-half the expenses of the independent arbitrator. Hearings in the proceeding shall commence within 120 days of the selection of the neutral arbitrator.
