Section 2.4 Sale. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Purchased Receivables from Seller to Purchasers and not a financing transaction, borrowing or loan; and accordingly, Seller and Purchasers will treat the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Purchased Receivables as sales of “accounts” in accordance with the UCC for accounting purposes, and Seller hereby authorizes Purchasers or their designee, from and after the Closing Date, to execute, record and file such financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) naming Seller as the seller/debtor and each Purchaser as the purchaser/secured party of its Pro Rata Portion of the Purchased Receivables as may be necessary to perfect such sale.

Seller waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to contest or otherwise assert that this Agreement is other than a true, complete, absolute and irrevocable sale by Seller to Purchasers of the Purchased Receivables under applicable Law, which waiver shall be enforceable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, against Seller in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding relating to Seller. The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Purchased Receivables shall be reflected on Seller’s financial statements and other records as a sale of assets to Purchasers. Seller agrees that in any consolidated financial statements of Seller it shall indicate that the Purchased Receivables are the assets of Purchasers.
Section 2.5 Nonassignable Assets. Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any asset included in the Purchased Receivables, including any Contract, approval, authorization or other right, which by its terms or by Law is nonassignable without the consent of a third party or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until such consent shall have been obtained or to the extent any such assignment restriction is removed or expires by its term. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchasers at their request in endeavoring to obtain such consents promptly. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the event consents to the assignment thereof cannot be obtained, such Nonassignable Assets shall be held, as of and from the Closing Date until the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 7.8, by Seller in trust for Purchasers and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by Purchasers in Seller’s name and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for Purchasers’ accounts. Seller shall take such actions as Purchasers may reasonably request so as to provide Purchasers with the benefits of the Nonassignable Assets and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Nonassignable Assets, and Seller shall promptly pay over to Purchasers all money or other consideration received by it in respect of all Nonassignable Assets.

Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.
(b) Defense of Third Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, at its own expense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (so long as such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party) if: (i) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any indemnifiable Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim; (ii) such Third Party Claim involves (and continues to involve) solely monetary damages which are not reasonably likely to exceed the applicable amount in Section 7.4(a) or (b), as applicable; (iii) such Third Party Claim does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal action; (iv) the Indemnifying Party makes reasonably adequate provision to satisfy the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend, satisfy and discharge such Third-Party Claim; (v) no defense exists for the Indemnified Party which is not available to the Indemnifying Party; and (vi) if the named parties to such Third Party Claim (including impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would not be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (as determined by the Indemnified Party in its reasonable discretion) (collectively, the “Defense Conditions”). If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within five (5) Business Days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party believes the Indemnifying Party has failed to take such steps, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has not undertaken fully to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of all indemnifiable Losses relating to the matter, or (iii) if any of the Defense Conditions cease to be satisfied for any reason, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, if settled with such consent, or if there is a final judgment against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In the event the Indemnifying Party has assumed control of the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such action or suit through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party in the defense of a Third Party Claim for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnified Party shall have notified the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim).
22 |
(c) Cooperation. The parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention of and the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and (ii) the making available of employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability (if any) in connection with such Third Party Claim and which (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party, (ii) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Third Party Claim and (iii) does not provide for injunctive relief or other relief relating to such Indemnified Party other than monetary damages.
Section 7.3 Procedures Relating to Indemnification for Other Claims. In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification under this Article VII in respect of Losses that do not arise out of or involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party promptly in writing (including in such notice a brief description of the claim for indemnification and the Loss, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known or reasonably capable of estimation by the Indemnified Party); provided, however, that the failure to promptly provide such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.
23 |
Section 7.4 Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) Seller. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not have any liability under any clause of Section 7.1(a) (i) in excess of the amount by which (x) two times the amount of the Purchase Price exceeds (y) the Total Net Amount, (ii) to the extent any Losses are in respect of Purchased Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of Bausch & Lomb or (iii) to the extent any Losses were suffered or incurred by a Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of such Purchaser Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or fraud.

Section 7.6 Exclusive Remedy. Other than for claims for equitable relief or as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing Date, this Article VII (including Section 7.4 and Section 7.5) shall provide such parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any matter or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except that any such claim or matter based upon fraud or willful misrepresentation shall not be subject to or limited by this Article VII and each of Purchaser and Seller accordingly preserves all remedies available with respect to any such claim or matter based thereon under applicable Law.
Section 7.7 Limitations on Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall either party hereto be liable for any consequential, exemplary or punitive damages unless such damages are payable to a third party in connection with a Third Party Claim or are based upon fraud or willful misrepresentation.

Schedule of Exceptions to Seller’s Representations and Warranties
This Schedule of Exceptions to the representations and warranties of Seller has been prepared in connection with the Royalty Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 2, 2013 (the “Agreement”), by and among InSite Vision Incorporated, a Delaware corporation as Seller (“Seller”), and SWK Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SWK Purchaser”), and Xxxx Royalty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Xxxx Purchaser”) (SWK Purchaser and Xxxx Purchaser each individually “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”).
Unless otherwise defined in this Schedule of Exceptions, terms defined in the Agreement shall have the same meanings when used herein.
On January 3, 2013, Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx III filed a complaint in circuit court in Fayette County, Kentucky against Bausch & Lomb and us alleging that Xxxxx Xxxxxx was injured when her physician treated her with the Bausch & Lomb product Besivance following a photorefractive keratectomy. The plaintiffs allege that the use was off-label but nonetheless marketed by the defendants. Xx. Xxxxxx alleges loss of vision and Xx. Xxxxxx, her husband, alleges loss of consortium. On February 1, 2013, Bausch & Lomb removed the case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. On February 8. 2013, the defendants filed answers denying the allegations. There have been no further proceedings. The plaintiffs to date have not made a specific claim for damages.
In February 2012, the ASCRS Cornea and Refractive Surgery Clinical Committees jointly issued an alert regarding the use of topical ophthalmic medications that contain advanced vehicles (such vehicles are designed to deliver consistent dosage, increase contact time, stabilize the ocular surface and reduce dosing frequency) immediately prior to or intraoperatively during LASIK and PRK.
