Such Notice of Prepayment shall constitute Borrower’s irrevocable commitment to prepay the Loan and all such other amounts on that Prepayment Date.
Section 3.03 Increased Cost. (a) If (i) any Regulatory Change or (ii) compliance by the Lender with any Regulatory Change occurs that has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of the Lender as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which the Lender could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of the Lender with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then from time to time, on the first Interest Payment Date occurring at least 30 days after demand by the Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a description of the computation of such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such reduction. The Lender will take such actions reasonably requested by the Borrower, at the expense of the Borrower, if such actions will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its internal policies and procedures. In no event will the Lender be expected or required to monitor the occurrence of any of the events or contingencies described in this Section 3.03(a).
(b) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 3.03, the Lender shall use commercially reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Borrower shall notify the Lender in writing of such election no later than 30 days following its receipt of such demand and shall specify in such notice the date upon which such prepayment shall be made which shall not be later than 60 days following the date of the Lender’s demand. Prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be made together with interest accrued and unpaid on the Loans to date of prepayment and all other amounts then payable to the Lender hereunder, but shall not be subject to any prepayment amount pursuant to Section 3.02.
Article IV. INTEREST; EXPENSES; MAKING OF PAYMENTS
Section 4.01 Interest Rate.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4.03, accrued Fixed Interest shall be paid in cash to the Lender by payment at the Lender Concentration Account; provided that if the payments in respect of the Royalty Interest for the applicable Interest Period are insufficient to pay all amounts of Fixed Interest due on the Loan for such Interest Period (any such deficiency, the “Deficiency Amount”), then any such Deficiency Amount shall increase the outstanding principal amount of the Loan by an amount equal to the Deficiency Amount for the applicable Interest Period (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar) and the Lender shall be deemed to have made an additional term loan in a principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Deficiency Amount (such additional term loan, “Accreted Principal”). Accreted Principal shall be deemed to be part of the Loan made to Borrowers for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Loan shall bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the applicable Interest Payment Date in accordance with this Section 4.01. Accrued Fixed Interest on the Loan shall be payable by Borrower to the Lender in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for the Loan commencing with the first Interest Payment Date occurring after the funding of the Loan; provided that in the event of any repayment or prepayment of the Loan (including, without limitation, principal payments due under Section 3.01), accrued Fixed Interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

Section 4.02 Blocked Account. On or before the Initial Funding Date or such later date as the Parties may agree, the Parties shall enter into a Blocked Account Control Agreement with the Account Bank, which Blocked Account Control Agreement will provide for, among other things, the establishment and maintenance of a Blocked Account in accordance with the terms herein and therein.
(a) The Lender Concentration Account shall be established and maintained solely for the benefit of the Lender, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Lender shall have immediate and full access to any funds held in the Lender Concentration Account and such funds shall not be subject to any conditions or restrictions whatsoever.
(b) Sweeps from the Blocked Account shall be made to the Lender Concentration Account on each Interest Payment Date, and shall be applied (in accordance with Article III and this Article IV) to interest accrued and, as appropriate, principal outstanding, on the Loan on the same Business Day as such funds are credited to the Lender Concentration Account, all pursuant to a calculation of such amounts provided to the Account Bank and the Borrower by the Lender. Funds in the Blocked Account identified by the Lender as funds not to be swept to the Lender Concentration Account, shall be transferred by the Account Bank to such account as the Borrower shall designate, provided that funds deposited by Borrower pursuant to Section 4.02(c) shall be available for withdrawal by the Account Bank.
-26-
(c) Borrower shall pay for all fees, expenses and charges of the Account Bank by depositing sufficient funds into the Blocked Account when such fees, expenses and charges are due.
(d) Borrower shall, not later than the date of execution of the Blocked Account Control Agreement (i) instruct the Licensee in writing (with detailed wire instructions) to remit to the Blocked Account when due all payments that are due and payable to Borrower in respect of or derived from the License Agreement and (ii) promptly provide to the Lender a copy of such notification.

(ii) the Lender, the Borrower and the successor Account Bank shall have entered into a deposit account control agreement substantially in the form of the Blocked Account Control Agreement initially entered into;
(iii) all funds and items in the accounts subject to the Blocked Account Control Agreement to be terminated shall be transferred to the new accounts held at the successor Account Bank prior to the termination of the then existing Blocked Account; and
(iv) Borrower and the Lender shall have received evidence that the Licensee has been instructed to remit all future payments to the new account held at the successor Account Bank.
(f) Borrower shall make prepayments made in accordance with Section 3.02 by wire transfer or by an Automated Clearing House transfer to the Lender Concentration Account.
(g) In the event at any time following the execution of the Blocked Account Control Agreement by all parties thereto, the Licensee remits any payments directly to Borrower or otherwise except to the Blocked Account, Borrower shall immediately (i) remit any such payments to the Blocked Account (or, if for some reason such account is no longer in effect or payment cannot be made into such account, Borrower shall remit such payments by wire transfer or by an Automated Clearing House transfer of immediately available funds directly to the Lender Concentration Account), (ii) immediately instruct the Licensee in writing to remit any future payments to the Blocked Account and (iii) promptly provide to Lender a copy of such notice.
(h) Any payments, other than from funds paid to the Lender from the Lender Concentration Account, to be made by the Borrower to the Lender hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made by wire transfer or by an Automated Clearing House transfer of immediately available funds to the Lender Concentration Account.

Section 4.03 Interest on Late Payments. If any amount payable by Borrower to the Lender hereunder is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), interest shall accrue on any such unpaid amounts, both before and after judgment during the period from and including the applicable due date, to but excluding the day the overdue amount is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. Interest accruing under this Section 4.03 shall be payable on demand of the Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, Fixed Interest that is not paid in cash on the date due but that is added to the principal amount of the Loan as Accreted Principal in accordance with Section 4.01(c) shall accrue Fixed Interest from the date at which it is incorporated as Accreted Principal and shall thereafter accrue interest at the Default Rate in the event that the principal amount of the Loan generally bears interest at the Default Rate.
Section 4.04 Initial Expenses. Borrower shall pay to the Lender, on the Initial Funding Date as provided in Section 2.03, the Lender Expense Amount, which shall serve as payment for confirmatory due diligence and legal documentation expenses of the Lender associated with the execution and delivery of this Agreement as of the Closing Date.
Section 4.05 Administration and Enforcement Expenses. Borrower shall promptly reimburse the Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender (including the reasonable fees and expenses of one outside counsel to the Lender) as a consequence of or in connection with any Default, Event of Default, Prepayment Trigger or voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the Loan.
Section 4.06 Making of Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Payment stated to be due hereunder or under any Note on a given day in a specified month shall be made or shall end (as the case may be), (i) if there is no such given day or corresponding day, on the last Business Day of such month or (ii) if such given day or corresponding day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 4.07 Setoff or Counterclaim. Each payment by Borrower under this Agreement or under any Note shall be made without setoff or counterclaim. The Lender shall have the right to set off any and all amounts owed by Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement as provided in Section 10.03.
Article V. TAXES
Section 5.01 Taxes.
(a) Except as otherwise required by Law, any and all payments by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including payments with respect to the Loan) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present and future Taxes. If Borrower or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made by the applicable withholding agent (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.01(a)), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.
-28-
(b) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Lender is a Foreign Lender, then such Lender shall provide to Borrower (i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” (x) two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN (or a successor form) properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender and (y) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, (ii) if the payments receivable by the Foreign Lender are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS applicable Form W-8 (or a successor form), (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest, two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN (or a successor form) indicating that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes with reduced or no deduction of any United States federal income withholding tax or (iv) in the case of a Foreign Lender acting as an intermediary, two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or a successor form), accompanied by original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN and/or other statement or certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable. Such forms shall be delivered by such Foreign Lender on or prior to the date that it becomes a Lender under this Agreement, at any time thereafter when a change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances renders an existing form obsolete or invalid or requires a new form to be provided, and within fifteen Business Days after a reasonable written request of Borrower from time to time thereafter. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.01(c), no Foreign Lender shall be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) that such Foreign Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.
-29-
(d) Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall provide two properly completed and duly executed copies of Form W-9 (or successor form) at the times specified for delivery of forms under Section 5.01(c).
(e) Each Lender having assigned its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part shall collect from such assignee the documents described in Sections 5.01(c) and (d) as applicable.

Section 5.04 Indemnification. If the Lender pays any Taxes that Borrower is required to pay pursuant to this Article V, Borrower shall indemnify the Lender on demand in full in the currency in which such Taxes are paid (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5.04), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted, together with interest thereon from and including the date of payment to, but excluding, the date of reimbursement at the Default Rate and reasonable expense arising therefrom.

Section 5.05 Registered Obligation.
(a) Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its address referred to in Section 12.03, (i) a Register in which Borrower agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Lender in the Loans, each of its obligations under this Agreement to participate in the Loans, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right, and (ii) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lender(s) (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 12.01 and 12.02), (2) the amount of the Loans described in clause (i) above, (3) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, and (4) any other payment received and its application to the Loan.
-30-
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or elsewhere, the Loans (including any Note evidencing such Loan) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lender and its assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 5.05 and Sections 12.01 and 12.02 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations, Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions). The Lender shall cooperate with Borrower in all respects, notwithstanding anything else whether in the Loan Documents or otherwise and including, but not limited to, providing appropriate information, so that the Loan shall be maintained in such registered form.
Section 5.06 Tax Treatment.
(a) For U.S. federal income and applicable state and local income tax purposes, the Parties shall treat the Loan Documents and the Notes as debt that is subject to the “contingent payment debt instrument” rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-4. Each Party agrees not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.06(a) on any tax return or in any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding unless (i) each other Party has consented to such actions; or (ii) as a result of a material change in applicable Law following the date of this Agreement, counsel for such Party has advised it in writing that it is more likely than not (x) 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 5.06(a) or (y) that taking such a position would, notwithstanding compliance with all applicable reporting requirements and disclosure obligations, otherwise subject such Party to penalties under the Code.
(b) The Initial Tranche Disbursement Amount and Subsequent Tranche Disbursement Amount, if any, shall be treated as original issue discount with respect to the Initial Tranche Loan and Subsequent Tranche Loan, respectively, for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local income tax purposes.
(c) This Agreement is not intended to create a deemed partnership, association or joint venture between or among Lender and/or Borrower or any Subsidiary. Each Party agrees not to refer to the other as a “partner” or the relationship as a “partnership” or “joint venture”.
-31-
Section 5.07 AHYDO Catchup Payment Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, commencing with the first “accrual period” (defined for purposes of the Code) following the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date and continuing with each subsequent accrual period thereafter, the Borrower shall pay in cash, on or before the end of such accrual period, an amount equal to the sum of any accrued and unpaid interest and the accrued and unpaid original issue discount, with respect to the Loan, if, but only to the extent that, the sum of the amount of the interest and the original issue discount, in each case that has accrued and not been paid in cash from the Closing Date, exceeds the product of (i) the “issue price” (as defined in Section 1273(b) and 1274(a) of the Code) of the Loan and (ii) the “yield to maturity” (interpreted in accordance with Section 163(i) of the Code) of the Loan (such payment, the “AHYDO Catch-Up Payment”). The amount of such payment shall be treated as an amount of interest to be paid (within the meaning of Section 163(i)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) under this Agreement. This provision is intended to prevent the obligations created pursuant to this Agreement from being classified as “applicable high yield discount obligations,” as defined in Section 163(i) of the Code, and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Borrower shall cooperate with Lender, at Borrower’s cost and expense, including Borrower’s attorneys’ fees, if any, in connection therewith, in such efforts to identify and consummate such licensing opportunity, which license shall (i) become effective not earlier than the effective date of such termination, (ii) expire not earlier than the Maturity Date and (iii) include terms, conditions and limitations that are not materially less favorable to Borrower or Lender (other than economic terms, which shall be no less favorable to Borrower or Lender), than those contained in the License Agreement, including with respect to obligations and costs imposed on Borrower, disclaimers of Borrower’s liability, intellectual property ownership and control and indemnification of Borrower (any such license, a “New Arrangement”). If Borrower (in consultation with Lender) is the party pursuing such New Arrangement, Borrower and Lender shall mutually agree on the Third Party with which to enter into such New Arrangement; provided, however, that Lender will be deemed to have agreed to Borrower’s selection of any Approved Licensee as the licensee under any such New Arrangement. Should such New Arrangement be identified and meet the preceding requirements, and represent a commercially reasonable course of action in the good faith judgment of Borrower, Borrower agrees to duly execute and deliver a new license agreement effecting such New Arrangement that satisfies the foregoing requirements promptly upon the written request of Lender and such New Arrangement shall be substituted hereunder for the License Agreement to the satisfaction of Lender.

If the Lender is entitled to indemnification under this Article XI with respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party that is also brought against Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. Upon assumption by Borrower of the defense of any such action or proceeding, Lender shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel but Borrower shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by the Lender in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) Borrower has otherwise agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) Borrower shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lender in a timely manner or (iii) the Lender shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between Borrower and the Lender, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Lender that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Lender, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against such action or proceeding.
