1.4 Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, DanDrit shall have no obligation for, and is not assuming, any of the Excluded Liabilities set forth on Appendix 1.4 attached hereto.
1.5 Transfer of Agreements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute an agreement to transfer and assign any Transferred Agreement or any right thereunder if an attempted transfer and assignment without the consent of a third party would constitute a breach or in any way adversely affect the rights of DanDrit or OS thereto. OS and DanDrit will, following the Signing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Transferred Agreement for the transfer and assignment thereof to DanDrit. If the assignment or transfer of any agreement referred to above would constitute a breach or default under such agreement by reason of the failure of OS to obtain the required consent of any party to such agreement to such assignment and transfer, then the assignment and transfer to DanDrit and the assumption by DanDrit of such agreement shall be deemed to have been made contingent upon, and shall take effect only upon, the obtaining of such required consent. If such consent is not obtained prior to Closing, OS shall remain a party to such Transferred Agreement and DanDrit shall, acting on behalf of OS, perform all obligations under such Transferred Agreement and indemnify and hold harmless OS in respect thereof, solely with respect to such obligations to be performed after Closing, and OS shall deliver to DanDrit all rights, including, without limitation, all consideration, under such Transferred Agreement to DanDrit, and OS and DanDrit will cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which DanDrit will obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with the Agreement, including sub-contracting, sub licensing, or sub leasing to DanDrit, if such actions are permitted under the applicable agreement. OS shall, when entering into any material agreement during the period between the Signing Date and Closing, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the respective counterparty of an assignment as of the Closing to DanDrit of such agreement. If consent to assignment of any Transferred Agreement shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment of a Transferred Agreement would be ineffective or would impair DanDrit’s rights so that DanDrit would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, the obligation of the parties to perform this Agreement, including the Closing, shall not be affected.
In the event one or several Transferred Agreements would not be possible to assign as set out above in Article 1.5, and to the extent the Parties agree that such agreements shall instead be terminated, DanDrit shall be entitled to receive any credits or other compensation that OS may be entitled to as a result thereof.

1.6 Transfer of Employees. DanDrit shall make an offer of employment to each of the OS employees listed on Appendix 1.6, which offer shall be on terms in the aggregate no less favorable to such employee than the terms of such employee’s current employment with OS as previously disclosed to DanDrit in writing.
1.7 Release of Encumbrances. OS undertakes to execute all documents and to take any other action in order to ensure that any and all Purchased Assets are released from any and all encumbrances prior to Closing, except for the Permitted Liens.

1.10 Taxes. OS shall pay when due any sales, transfer, excise, or other taxes in connection with or arising from the sale and transfer of any of the Purchased Assets to DanDrit due by OS.

In the event any of the permits may not be transferred to DanDrit under applicable law, OS shall instead provide DanDrit with such assistance as is reasonably requested by DanDrit in order for DanDrit to obtain new permits corresponding to the relevant permit(s) at DanDrit’s sole cost. DanDrit undertakes to submit applications for such new permit(s) to the relevant authorities as soon as possible after Closing. All registration fees and similar costs or charges relating to the transfer, assignment or registration of the permits and the Intellectual Property shall be borne by DanDrit.
1.12 Closing. The Closing (the “Closing”) shall take place by electronic communication 7 business days, meaning a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or holidays, on which banks are open for business in Copenhagen and New York City, after all of the closing conditions set forth in Article 5 of this Agreement have been either satisfied or waived, or on such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (“Closing Date”); provided, however, that the Closing shall take place on or before October 31, 2016 unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties.
