Section 7.04 Successors and Assigns.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The Company shall not be entitled to assign any of its obligations and rights under the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Solely upon the consent of the Company (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Purchaser may assign any of its obligations or rights under the Transaction Documents without restriction other than to another pharmaceutical company; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign any of its obligations or rights under the Transaction Documents to a pharmaceutical company in connection with a change of control of Purchaser by virtue of a merger, sale or issuance of stock or the sale of all or substantially all of Purchaser’s assets; provided, further, that Purchaser, notwithstanding such assignment, will remain liable under Section 5.08(f) (solely to the extent of any amount subject thereto during the Fiscal Year as of the date of such assignment) and Section 7.05.
Section 7.05 Indemnification.
(a) The Company hereby indemnifies and holds Purchaser and its Affiliates and any of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses (including all Losses in connection with any product liability claims or claims of infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property rights of any Third Parties) incurred or suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Company in any of the Transaction Documents or the True-Up Statement or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the Company pursuant to any Transaction Document or the True-Up Statement, including any failure by the Company to satisfy any of the Excluded Liabilities and Obligations.
(b) Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds the Company, its Affiliates and any of their respective partners, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by a Company Indemnified Party arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by Purchaser in any of the Transaction Documents or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document.
(c) If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any; provided, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.05 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of, or has a material adverse effect on the exercise or prosecution of, substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
45
participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.05 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of such counsel. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to recover any monetary damages associated with a breach, subject to the other terms and provisions contained in this Agreement.
Section 7.06 No Implied Representations and Warranties.
Each party acknowledges and agrees that, other than the representations and warranties specifically contained in any of the Transaction Documents, there are no representations or warranties of either party or any other Person either expressed or implied with respect to the Assigned Interests or the transactions contemplated hereby.

For this purpose, the “comparable yield” and the “projected payment schedule” relating to the Assigned Interests may be obtained by contacting the Company at the address set forth in Section 7.03. The parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 7.08 on any tax return or in any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding unless (i) the other parties to this Agreement have consented in writing to such actions, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) the party that contemplates taking such an inconsistent position has been advised by nationally recognized counsel or tax advisors in writing that it is more likely than not that there is no "reasonable basis" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6662- 3(b)(3)) for the position specified in this Section 7.08.

• | Each Transaction Document to which the Company is a party is the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. |
• | The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the compliance by the Company with its obligations thereunder will not, (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company, (ii) result in a breach or default under any material agreement of the Company, (iii) result in a violation of any order binding upon the Company or (iv) to our knowledge, result in or require the creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company under any material agreement of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, any liens and security interests created pursuant to the Transaction Documents are excluded from this clause), and any material contracts or binding orders may be identified in a backup officer’s certificate from the Company. |
• | The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the compliance by each of the Company with its obligations thereunder will not, require any approval from or filing with any governmental authority of the United States, the State of New York, or the State of Delaware, other than the filings and records contemplated by the Transaction Documents to perfect security interests. |
• | The execution and delivery by each of the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the compliance by the Company with its obligations thereunder will not, result in any violation of any federal law of the United States, the law of the State of New York or any regulation thereunder, or the law of the State of Delaware or any regulation thereunder, which, in our experience are applicable to, or relevant in connection with, transactions of the type provided for in the Transaction Documents. |
• | Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company is an “investment company” within the meaning of, and subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. |
• | The Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Purchaser, as security for the Secured Obligations, as defined in the Security Agreement, a security interest (the “Article 9 Security Interest”) in the Collateral as described in the Security Agreement to the extent that a security interest may be created therein under Article 9 of the New York UCC (the “Article 9 Collateral”). |
