TRANSITION PLAN

Section 3.1 Transition Plan

No later than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date, a Transition Team shall be established by the parties (the “Transition Team”) and shall be comprised of six (6) members, three (3) of whom shall be appointed by Newco and Collegium and three (3) of whom shall be appointed by Depomed. The Transition Team shall discuss, and to the extent necessary and mutually agreed by the parties, meet in person, to develop and draft a Transition Plan that outlines and facilitates the processes and mechanisms for transferring the Products and the Transferred Assets from Depomed to Newco and Collegium, in accordance with this Agreement, on mutually agreeable terms and conditions consistent with the terms of this Agreement (the “Transition Plan”). The parties agree that the Transition Plan shall provide that Depomed’s services provided thereunder shall be at no charge to Collegium; provided that Collegium shall reimburse Depomed for any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Depomed with respect to such services. The parties agree to (a) formulate the Transition Plan as soon as reasonably practical and not later than the Closing Date and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to perform their respective obligations as set forth in the Transition Plan within the timelines set forth therein. The Transition Plan shall provide, without limitation, for Depomed to continue supporting the Products on a limited basis dependent upon the then-current Depomed Sales Force, to be described in the Transition Plan, until January 19, 2018. The parties will discuss in good faith any changes to the Transition Plan that become required or advisable. Except as otherwise set forth in the Transition Plan, the Ancillary Agreements or elsewhere in this Agreement, each party shall be responsible for its respective costs and expenses incurred in performing the Transition Plan. In connection with developing or implementing the Transition

Plan, the parties may elect to enter into additional agreements on mutually acceptable terms as the parties deem reasonably necessary or advisable.

The parties acknowledge that implementation of the Transition Plan will require the cooperation and/or consent of Third Parties as indicated therein, and, as a result, the timing of such implementation is not within the sole control of the parties.

Section 3.2 Manufacture and Supply Arrangements

(a) Manufacture by CMO. Subject to Section 2.1(b), all Manufacturing of the Products (excluding Line Extensions and NUCYNTA® oral solution, which is not currently Commercialized in the Territory) (the “Supplied Products”) (including the components, intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients of such Supplied Products, collectively, the “Product Materials”) for Commercialization in the Territory will be performed by one or more established, generally reliable Third Party contract manufacturers of pharmaceutical products engaged by Depomed (each, a “CMO”).

(b) Notice by Depomed. Depomed shall promptly inform Collegium in the event that, prior to the Closing Date, Depomed becomes aware of any matters which would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the ability of the applicable CMO to supply Supplied Products for Commercialization in the Territory in a timely manner.

(c) Supply by Depomed. Depomed has obtained and will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain supply of the Supplied Products for Commercialization in the Territory pursuant to one or more CMO Supply Agreements, and from and after the Closing Date shall supply the Supplied Products in finished goods form to Collegium on a pass-through basis, under the terms and conditions applicable to the supply of the Supplied Products, as applicable, to Depomed under the applicable CMO Supply Agreements. Collegium and its Affiliates and any other Sublicensees shall purchase all of their Supplied Product requirements for Commercialization in the Territory from Depomed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable CMO Supply Agreements, unless otherwise agreed to by Collegium and Depomed. Collegium and its Affiliates agree that all Supplied Products supplied hereunder will be solely for Commercialization in the Territory by or on behalf of Collegium and its Affiliates and any other Sublicensees, as permitted hereunder and in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. Depomed shall obtain such supply for Collegium and its Affiliates and any other Sublicensees from the applicable CMO(s) and shall cooperate reasonably to extend to Collegium, its Affiliates and any other Sublicensees all of the benefits of such CMO Supply Agreements with respect to such supply, including with respect to forecasting, ordering, delivery, inspection and audit rights, warranties, specifications and (subject to Section 3.2(c)(viii) below) changes thereto, subject to Collegium’s compliance with the corresponding provisions of such CMO Supply Agreements. In addition, Depomed shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any rights and remedies Depomed may have under the CMO Supply Agreements for the benefit of Collegium or any of its Affiliates or any other

Sublicensees with respect to supply of the Product Materials or Supplied Products for Commercialization in the Territory, as reasonably requested by Collegium in writing in its sole discretion, provided that Collegium shall reimburse Depomed for any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Depomed with respect to pursuit of such rights and remedies. Any such written request by Collegium to Depomed must be delivered within the applicable time frame provided for Depomed to exercise such rights or remedies in the applicable CMO Supply Agreement. To the extent Depomed is permitted to do so under a CMO Supply Agreement, Depomed will delegate or assign to Collegium the right to enforce the terms of a CMO Supply Agreement against the applicable CMO to the extent such enforcement is related to any Supplied Product ordered by Collegium under such CMO Supply Agreement. In connection with such supply:

(i) Collegium shall provide Depomed with all forecasts and purchase orders for any Product Materials or Supplied Products in the form and content, and at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable deadline, specified in the applicable CMO Supply Agreement, which forecasts and purchase orders shall be binding upon Collegium to the extent the same are binding on Depomed as provided in the applicable CMO Supply Agreement, and Depomed shall forward the same to the applicable CMO not later than such applicable deadline.

(ii) Promptly following Collegium’s receipt of its own NDC Numbers for the Products, and in any event not later than October 31, 2018, Collegium shall provide to Depomed a new label and package insert for each Product bearing Collegium’s name and such NDC Numbers, in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and in such electronic format as requested by Depomed or the applicable CMO.

(iii) The price charged by Depomed for the Manufacture and supply of each Supplied Product in finished goods form hereunder shall equal the sum of the transfer price charged for such Supplied Product by the applicable CMOs plus any shipping and packaging expenses, insurance expenses, Taxes, duties, imposts and other amounts charged specifically for such Supplied Product by the applicable CMOs pursuant to the applicable CMO Supply Agreements, plus any other Taxes, duties, imposts or similar charges or fees incurred by Depomed in connection with the Manufacture and supply of such Supplied Product.

(iv) The price charged by Depomed for the manufacture and supply of any other Product Material purchased separately hereunder, including for use in the Manufacture of any Supplied Product, such as API, shall equal the sum of the transfer price charged for such Product Material by the applicable CMOs plus any shipping and packaging expenses, insurance expenses, Taxes, duties, imposts and other amounts charged specifically for such Product Material by the applicable CMOs pursuant to the applicable CMO Supply Agreements, plus any other Taxes, duties, imposts or similar charges or fees incurred by Depomed in connection with the manufacture and supply of such Product Material.

(v) Collegium shall have financial responsibility for any other amounts due pursuant to the CMO Supply Agreements with respect to the Manufacture and supply of Supplied Products for Commercialization in the Territory, including any minimum purchase obligations, provided that any Supplied Products Manufactured and supplied for Commercialization outside the Territory pursuant to the CMO Supply Agreements will be included in the calculation of any minimum purchase obligations.

(vi) Collegium shall pay the foregoing amounts referenced in subsections (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 3.2(c) with five (5) Business Days following receipt of any invoice therefor from Depomed, which amounts will be paid in U.S. Dollars, by wire transfer, pursuant to the instructions of Depomed. Collegium shall also pay to Depomed any interest assessed on late payments (to the extent attributable to Collegium’s failure to pay Depomed within the aforementioned time period) under the applicable CMO Supply Agreements.

(vii) Collegium shall inspect all shipments of Product Materials and Supplied Products and provide Depomed with written notice of any defects or other non-conformities at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable deadline specified in the applicable CMO Supply Agreement, and Depomed shall forward the same to the applicable CMO not later than such applicable deadline. Any disputes regarding any defects or other non-conformities of Product Materials or Supplied Products will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of the applicable CMO Supply Agreement.

(viii) To the extent permitted under the applicable CMO Supply Agreement, title to the Supplied Products ordered hereunder by or on behalf of Collegium shall transfer to Collegium or its designated recipient upon fulfillment of the applicable CMO’s delivery obligation pursuant to the applicable CMO Supply Agreement (which delivery is directed to Collegium or its designated recipient) and at no time shall title to such Supplied Products transfer to Depomed.

(ix) If Collegium requests that modifications be made to any Supplied Product or Product Materials supplied by the applicable CMO that do not apply to such Supplied Product or Product Materials supplied for use by Depomed (or the manufacture, storage or other aspects of such Supplied Product or Product Materials), then Depomed shall cooperate reasonably with Collegium in Collegium’s efforts to cause such CMO to implement such modifications for Collegium’s benefit, and to supply such modified Supplied Product or Product Materials to Collegium under a separate supply agreement to be negotiated between Collegium and such CMO, provided that Collegium shall reimburse Depomed for any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Depomed in providing such assistance.

(x) Depomed has provided to Collegium a complete and correct copy of each CMO Supply Agreement existing as of the Effective Date, and will provide to Collegium a complete and correct copy of any new CMO Supply Agreements entered into by Depomed and

a CMO during the Term within thirty (30) days after the execution thereof, provided all such CMO Supply Agreements will be treated as Depomed’s Proprietary Information under this Agreement. Depomed shall not, and shall not permit or authorize its Affiliates to, amend, modify, terminate or cause to be terminated any CMO Supply Agreement or release or waive its rights under any CMO Supply Agreement in any manner that would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to Collegium’s rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Collegium, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Depomed shall not assign any CMO Supply Agreement, other than to an Affiliate of Depomed or otherwise in connection with an assignment of this Agreement in accordance with Section 17.9, without Collegium’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Prior to entering into any new CMO Supply Agreement, Depomed shall provide Collegium with reasonable advance notice that such new agreement is being negotiated as well as a draft copy to Collegium and consider in good faith any reasonable comments or suggestions with respect to the provisions thereof that Collegium may provide (it being understood that Depomed is not obligated to obtain Collegium’s approval of any such new CMO Supply Agreement or the provisions thereof, unless such new CMO Supply Agreement includes any terms or conditions that provide for any material increase in the price of any Supplied Products or Product Materials or that otherwise would materially affect the overall price of any Supplied Products (e.g., minimum purchase commitments), which Collegium reasonably determines would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to its interests under this Agreement, in which case Collegium’s prior written approval will be required). Depomed shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, fulfill all of its obligations, including payment obligations, under any CMO Supply Agreement. Depomed shall promptly notify Collegium of any default under or breach of any CMO Supply Agreement by Depomed or any of its Affiliates. In the event that Depomed, or any of its Affiliates, shall fail to make any payment when due or any other default or breach arises under any CMO Supply Agreement, Collegium shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make such payment or otherwise cure such default or breach on behalf of Depomed or its Affiliate. In such event, Depomed shall promptly reimburse Collegium any such amounts paid and/or costs and expenses incurred by Collegium or, at Collegium’s election, Collegium may offset such amounts paid and/or costs and expenses incurred by Collegium against any amounts payable to Depomed hereunder.

(xi) Except in the event of Material Supply Failure as set forth in Section 7.3(f), and without limiting any of Depomed’s obligations under Section 3.2(c), Depomed will not be liable for any default or failure of supply of any Supplied Product or other Product Material to the extent due to a default or failure of supply of the applicable CMO.

(xii) The objective of this Section 3.2 is that Collegium be able to obtain supply of the Supplied Products produced by the applicable CMO in sufficient quantities, on such timelines, at such prices and otherwise as is reasonably necessary and customary in the pharmaceutical industry for Collegium to Commercialize the Supplied Products in the Territory in accordance with and as contemplated by this Agreement. If for any reason Collegium or

Depomed believes that the provisions of this Section 3.2 are insufficient for purposes of such supply (e.g., in substance or clarity), the parties shall bring such matter to the attention of the JMC for discussion and, if requested either by Depomed or Collegium following such discussion, Depomed and Collegium shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a supplemental agreement containing such provisions as are appropriate and reasonable to fulfill such objective.

(d) Coordination. From and after the Closing Date, Collegium shall coordinate its purchase orders for the Supplied Products so as to transition to Collegium’s NDC Numbers as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event not later than October 31, 2018. Depomed and Collegium will cooperate to submit Supplied Product labels bearing Collegium’s NDC Numbers to the FDA as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, as contemplated by the Transition Plan.

(e) Joint Manufacturing Committee. In order to coordinate the detailed activities of Depomed and Collegium under the Transition Plan, including with regard to the Manufacturing Tech Transfer Plan, and to oversee, coordinate and manage the parties’ respective rights and obligations with regard to the Manufacture and supply of all Products, Line Extensions and Product Materials hereunder, Depomed and Collegium shall form a joint manufacturing committee (“JMC”) within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. The JMC shall consist of four (4) members, with Depomed and Collegium each designating two (2) members, each of whom shall be an employee of such party (other than a party’s respective Senior Executives). Each party may replace any or all of its member representatives on the JMC at any time upon written notice to the other party. Depomed and Collegium may designate a substitute employee to temporarily attend and perform the functions of such party’s designee at any meeting of the JMC. The JMC shall remain in existence for as long as Depomed is responsible for supplying all Products or Line Extensions under this Agreement.

(i) Responsibilities. The JMC shall perform the following functions:

(1) Review and discuss the progress of manufacturing activities with respect to the Product Materials, Products and Line Extensions, including any significant production, quality or timing difficulties encountered or anticipated to be encountered by Depomed, Collegium or any CMO in connection therewith;

(2) Review and attempt to determine and resolve with the applicable CMO the root cause of any Material Supply Failure;

(3) Review and discuss any feedback from Collegium with regards to any production or quality issues related to the Products or Line Extensions at the CMO level, including challenges faced by Collegium in obtaining supply of the Products or Line Extensions produced by the CMOs in sufficient quantities, on such timelines, at such prices and otherwise as is reasonably necessary and customary for Collegium to Commercialize the Products and Line Extensions in the Territory;

(4) Assess the need for, and review the details of, any proposed amendments to the Manufacturing Tech Transfer Plan;

(5) Review and discuss the regulatory strategy and interactions with Regulatory Authorities, including Regulatory Communications, with respect to the Products and Line Extensions as it relates to Manufacturing activities, including the results of any inspections by any Regulatory Authority of any CMO facility;

(6) Assess the need to conduct any inspections of CMO facilities for purposes of validating and ensuring required quality and legal requirements are met by the applicable CMO;

(7) Review any changes in circumstances or market conditions which are negatively affecting or are reasonably likely to negatively affect Collegium’s ability to meet the minimum purchase obligation contained in any CMO Supply Agreement; and

(8) Assess the need for establishing any alternative or back-up sources of supply of any Products, Product Materials or Line Extensions.

(ii) Meetings.

Upon receipt of notice or any other indication from any Regulatory Authority of such Depomed Regulatory Inspection, Depomed will promptly notify Collegium within forty-eight (48) hours after receiving such notice. Depomed will permit a representative of Collegium to be present during applicable portions of the Depomed Regulatory Inspection, upon reasonable request by Collegium. Depomed will provide timely access to Collegium of all documents and any other relevant information available about the progress of the Depomed Regulatory Inspection. Depomed will provide to Collegium copies of any inspection reports or notifications received during or after the Depomed Regulatory Inspection, including any notices of observation or other reports of the outcome of such Depomed Regulatory Inspection. Depomed will prepare a written response to any communications from Regulatory Authorities relating to the Depomed Regulatory Inspection, and will provide a copy for Collegium’s review before submission to the Regulatory Authority. Depomed agrees to conform its activities under this Agreement to any commitments made in response to a Depomed Regulatory Inspection, except to the extent any such commitment violates Legal Requirements.

Section 5.11 Review of Regulatory Compliance

Each fiscal quarter after Closing, Depomed and its duly authorized representatives shall have the right to review, audit, and inspect the activities conducted by Collegium and Newco under this Agreement as they pertain to compliance with Health Laws and the Regulatory Approvals. Collegium and Newco agree to provide reasonable access to any records, facilities, or personnel requested for this review. All reviews by Depomed will be conducted without any undue disruption to the business and operations of Collegium. Any Third Parties conducting

such reviews on behalf of Depomed will enter into confidentiality agreements with Collegium. Collegium will correct, or cause the correction of, any deficiencies which are discovered by any such review.

If Depomed elects not to conduct a review in a fiscal quarter, Depomed shall have the right to request written certification by Collegium and Newco that they are in compliance with all applicable Health Laws, Regulatory Approvals, and this Article 5 of this Agreement.

Section 5.12 Assistance

Each party agrees to provide to the other all reasonable assistance and take all actions reasonably requested by the other party that are necessary to enable the other party to comply with its regulatory obligations under this Agreement and with any Legal Requirement applicable to the Products and Line Extensions in the Territory.

ARTICLE 6

SALES AND PRICING

Section 6.1 Sales

Commencing as of the Closing Date, Collegium or its Affiliates shall book all sales of the Products and Line Extensions in the Territory and shall be responsible for entering into any contracts and other arrangements with any Person regarding the sale of the Products or Line Extensions, and for establishing and approving the form, content and terms and conditions thereof, including any discount, allowance, rebate, chargeback or other term granted therein; provided, however, that Collegium may not sell Products as part of a bundled product without the prior written consent of Depomed. For purposes of this Section 6.1, a “bundled product” means Product that is sold together with at least one other pharmaceutical product for a single price or discounted price, whether sold together in the same package or merely price bundled.

Section 6.2 Pricing

Commencing as of the Closing Date, except as expressly set forth in Section 6.1, Collegium will have the sole authority to determine the prices of the Products or Line Extensions sold by it and to establish its own terms and conditions of sale and pricing policies for the Products and Line Extensions in the Territory, including price increases or decreases and the timing thereof, provided that, in the event Collegium elects to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(b), Collegium shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, increase the price of any Product by more than [***] per annum at any time during the twelve (12) month period following the delivery of Collegium’s notice of termination and prior to the effective date of termination, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties.

ARTICLE 7

COMPENSATION

Section 7.1 Payment for Transferred Inventory

(a) In consideration of the transfer of the Transferred Inventory pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i), Collegium shall pay to Depomed, on the Closing Date, the Transferred Inventory Cost as set forth on the Transferred Inventory Cost Statement. Such payment shall be non-refundable, and shall not be creditable against any other amount due hereunder.

(b) No more than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Depomed shall deliver to Collegium a statement listing the Transferred Inventory and the Transferred Inventory Cost (the “Transferred Inventory Cost Statement”).

Section 7.2 Upfront Payment

In partial consideration of the rights granted to Collegium hereunder, Collegium shall pay to Depomed, on the Closing Date, an initial fee in the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Upfront Payment”). The Upfront Payment shall be non-refundable, and shall not be creditable against any other amount due hereunder.

Section 7.3 Payments on Annual Net Sales

(a) Annual Net Sales through 2021. From and after the Closing Date through December 31, 2021 during the Payment Term, and subject to Section 7.3(f), Collegium shall pay to Depomed amounts based upon Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products in the Territory according to the schedule set forth below:


Portion of Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products		Amount / Rate
Up to Two Hundred Thirty-Three Million Dollars ($233,000,000)		One Hundred Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($135,000,000)
Above Two Hundred Thirty-Three Million Dollars ($233,000,000) up to Two Hundred Fifty-Eight Million Dollars ($258,000,000)		25% of such portion of Annual Net Sales
Above Two Hundred Fifty-Eight Million Dollars ($258,000,000)		17.5% of such portion of Annual Net Sales

For illustration purposes only, if Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products in the Territory are $253,000,000 for a particular calendar year, then the amount owed for such period would be $135,000,000 plus 25% of $20,000,000 for a total amount owed of $140,000,000.

Payments under this Section 7.3(a) (i) with respect to Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products up to Two Hundred Thirty-Three Million Dollars ($233,000,000), shall be due and payable in equal installments of Thirty-Three Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($33,750,000) (each, a “Minimum Quarterly Payment”) within forty-five (45) days after the last day of each calendar quarter, and (ii) with respect to any portion of Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products above Two Hundred Thirty-Three Million Dollars ($233,000,000), shall be due and payable within sixty (60) days after the last day of each calendar year. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if for any reason (other than a reason directly attributable to an action or omission entirely within the control of Collegium or Newco) the Closing Date occurs after January 8, 2018 but during the first calendar quarter of 2018, then the amount of the first Minimum Quarterly Payment (and thus the obligation to pay Depomed One Hundred Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($135,000,000) with respect to calendar year 2018) will be reduced, on a pro rata basis, to account for the total number of days in the first calendar quarter after the Closing during which Collegium was entitled to sell Payment-Bearing Products. Such reduction in the first Minimum Quarterly Amount, if any, shall be applied to all other provisions in this Agreement applicable to the first Minimum Quarterly Payment, including for purposes of determining whether there was any Quarterly Shortfall with respect to such calendar quarter pursuant to Section 7.7(a)(i). If the Closing Date occurs at any time after the last day of the first calendar quarter of 2018, then the parties will work in good faith to determine the appropriate adjustment, if any, to one or more of the Minimum Quarterly Payments to account for the reduced number of days in such calendar year during which Collegium is entitled to sell Payment-Bearing Products.

(b) Annual Net Sales after 2021. From and after January 1, 2022 during the Payment Term, Collegium shall pay to Depomed amounts based upon Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products in the Territory according to the schedule set forth below:


Portion of Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products		Rate
Up to Two Hundred Thirty-Three Million Dollars ($233,000,000)		58% of such portion of Annual Net Sales
Above Two Hundred Thirty-Three Million Dollars ($233,000,000) up to Two Hundred Fifty-Eight Million Dollars ($258,000,000)		25% of such portion of Annual Net Sales
Above Two Hundred Fifty-Eight Million Dollars ($258,000,000)		17.5% of such portion of Annual Net Sales

For illustration purposes only, if Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products are $358,000,000 for a particular calendar year, then the amount owed for such period would be 58%

of $233,000,000 plus 25% of $25,000,000 plus 17.5% of $100,000,000 for a total amount owed of $158,890,000.

Payments under this Section 7.3(b) (i) with respect to Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products up to Two Hundred Thirty-Three Million Dollars ($233,000,000), shall be due and payable within forty-five (45) days after the last day of each calendar quarter, and (ii) with respect to any portion of Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products above Two Hundred Thirty-Three Million Dollars ($233,000,000), shall be due and payable within sixty (60) days after the last day of each calendar year.

(c) Payment Term. Collegium’s payment obligations under Section 7.3(a) and Section 7.3(b) shall commence on the Closing Date and remain in effect (with respect to each such Product and Line Extension in the following clauses (i) and (ii), as applicable, the “Payment Term”):

(i) with respect to each Product, for so long as Collegium or any of its Affiliates or other Sublicensees continues to sell the applicable Product in the Territory; provided, however, that following the occurrence of Generic Entry with respect to any Product (an “Expired Product”), the Annual Net Sales tiers in Section 7.3(a) and Section 7.3(b), as applicable, will thereafter be automatically adjusted downward on a percentage basis equal to ninety percent (90%) of the percentage of the prior calendar year’s Annual Net Sales of all Payment-Bearing Products represented solely by such Product that became an Expired Product and the adjusted Annual Net Sales tiers will be applied, on a prospective basis, to calculate the royalties payable by Collegium to Depomed on the sales of Payment-Bearing Products occurring thereafter; provided further, that such adjustment shall occur only once, upon the occurrence of the first Expired Product, and shall not occur again thereafter upon the occurrence of other Expired Products. For example, with respect to Expired Products, if the Net Sales associated with any Expired Product were sixty percent (60%) of the Annual Net Sales of all Payment-Bearing Products during the prior calendar year, then the Annual Net Sales tiers in Section 7.3(a) and Section 7.3(b), as applicable, would each be reduced by fifty-four percent (54%, i.e., 60% x 90%) (i.e., the first tier would be up to $107,180,000, the second tier would be between $107,180,000 and $118,680,000, and the third tier would be above $118,680,000); and

(ii) with respect to each Line Extension, for so long as Collegium or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees continues to sell the applicable Line Extension in the Territory until the expiration of the last Orange Book-Listed Patent associated with such Line Extension.

(d) Payments after Payment Term for Line Extensions. From and after the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the expiration of the Payment Term with respect to Line Extensions, (i) Collegium shall pay to Depomed nine percent (9%) of Annual Net Sales of Line Extensions throughout the Territory, due and payable within forty-five (45) days after the last day of each calendar quarter, and (ii) the Net Sales of Line Extensions shall be excluded

from the calculation of Annual Net Sales for purposes of payments due pursuant to Section 7.3(a) and Section 7.3(b) with respect to Products and Authorized Generics.

(e) Grünenthal Obligations.

(i) Collegium, on behalf of Depomed, shall calculate, report directly to Grünenthal and, subject to Section 7.3(e)(ii) and Section 7.3(e)(iii), pay directly to Grünenthal all royalties (including minimum royalties, if applicable) due from Depomed pursuant to the Grünenthal License Agreement (but not, for clarity, any royalties or other payments due pursuant to the Consent Agreement, other than for “New Products” (as defined in the Consent Agreement) as set forth in Section 7.3(e)(iv)) with respect to the sale by Collegium and its Affiliates and any other Sublicensees of Payment-Bearing Products in the Territory, in each case in accordance and consistent with the terms and conditions of the Grünenthal License Agreement. Collegium shall provide Depomed with a copy of all such reports concurrently with the delivery thereof to Grünenthal. All such reports provided to Depomed by Collegium will be treated as Collegium’s Proprietary Information under this Agreement, provided that Depomed may disclose such reports to Grünenthal (subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Grünenthal License Agreement). Further, the sublicenses granted to Newco in Section 2.1(a)(iii) and Section 2.1(a)(iv) shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Grünenthal License Agreement, which are hereby deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement, and if the practice of such sublicenses by Newco and its Sublicensees directly results in any payment obligations to Grünenthal pursuant to Sections 4.6(b), 6.1(f), 7.10, 7.13, 11.5(b) (with regard to the OMP Territory and the EU (as such terms are defined in the Grünenthal License Agreement), subject to Depomed’s obligations to pay for Retained Post-Marketing Commitments as set forth in Section 14.7 below), 11.12 and 12.2 of the Grünenthal License Agreement, Depomed shall pass through such payment obligations to Collegium and Collegium, on behalf of Depomed, shall make the applicable payment(s) directly to Grünenthal and concurrently provide Depomed with evidence thereof.

(ii) From and after the Closing Date through December 31, 2021 during the Payment Term, Collegium shall pay to Grünenthal and/or Depomed, as applicable, amounts based upon annual “Net Sales” of “Products” (each, as defined the Grünenthal License Agreement), but excluding “New Products” (as defined in the Consent Agreement), in the Territory that would otherwise be payable solely to Grünenthal pursuant to Section 7.3(e)(i) according to the schedule set forth below:

Portion of annual “Net Sales” of “Products”	Rate Payable to Grünenthal	Rate Payable to Depomed

Up to Two Hundred Forty-Three Million Dollars ($243,000,000)	[***]	[***]


Above Two Hundred Forty-Three Million Dollars ($243,000,000) and up to Two Hundred Fifty-Eight Million Dollars ($258,000,000)	[***]	[***]

Equal to or greater than Six Hundred Million Dollars ($600,000,000)	[***]	[***]

For illustration purposes only, if annual “Net Sales” of “Products” are $358,000,000 for a particular calendar year, then the amount owed for such period pursuant to this Section 7.3(e)(ii) (A) to Grünenthal would be [***] of $243,000,000 plus [***] of $15,000,000 plus [***] of $100,000,000 for a total amount owed of [***], and (B) to Depomed would be [***] of $243,000,000 plus [***] of $15,000,000 plus [***] of $42,000,000 plus [***] of $58,000,000 for a total amount owed of [***].

(iii) From and after January 1, 2022 during the Payment Term, Collegium shall pay to Grünenthal and/or Depomed, as applicable, amounts based upon annual “Net Sales” of “Products” but, excluding “New Products” as defined in the Consent Agreement, in the Territory that would otherwise be payable solely to Grünenthal pursuant to Section 7.3(e)(i) according to the schedule set forth below:


Portion of annual “Net Sales” of “Products”	Rate Payable to Grünenthal	Rate Payable to Depomed

Up to Two Hundred Thirty-Three Million Dollars ($233,000,000)	[***]	[***]

Above Two Hundred Thirty-Three Million Dollars ($233,000,000) and up to Two Hundred Fifty-Eight Million Dollars ($258,000,000)	[***]	[***]

Equal to or greater than Six Hundred Million Dollars ($600,000,000)	[***]	[***]

For illustration purposes only, if annual “Net Sales” of “Products” are $358,000,000 for a particular calendar year, then the amount owed for such period pursuant to this Section 7.3(e)(iii) (A) to Grünenthal would be [***] of $233,000,000 plus [***] of $25,000,000 plus [***] of $100,000,000 for a total amount owed of [***], and (B) to Depomed would be [***] of $233,000,000 plus [***] of $25,000,000 plus [***] of $42,000,000 plus [***] of $58,000,000 for a total amount owed of [***].

(iv) From and after the expiration of the Payment Term with respect to Line Extensions which are “New Products” as defined in the Consent Agreement, Collegium shall pay to Grünenthal [***] of annual “Net Sales” of such “New Products” throughout the Territory, due and payable in accordance with Section 7.3(e)(i).

(v) Depomed shall cooperate reasonably to extend to Collegium, its Affiliates and any other Sublicensees all of the benefits of the terms and conditions of the Grünenthal License Agreement applicable to Collegium’s obligations under this Section 7.3(e), subject to Collegium’s compliance with this Section 7.3(e). In addition, Depomed shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any rights and remedies Depomed may have under the Grünenthal License Agreement for the benefit of Collegium or any of its Affiliates or any other Sublicensees with respect to their practice of sublicenses under the Grünenthal License Agreement in the Territory, solely as requested by Collegium in writing, provided that Collegium shall reimburse Depomed for any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses (including legal expenses) incurred by Depomed with respect to its pursuit of such rights and remedies. In addition, notwithstanding anything in Section 7.3(e)(ii) or Section 7.3(e)(iii) to the contrary, in the event any royalty rate reduction under Section 6.9 (Cost of Goods Sold Cap in OMP Territory) in the Grünenthal License Agreement would apply with respect to the sale of Payment-Bearing Products (except “New Products” as defined in the Consent Agreement) in the Territory, Collegium shall be entitled to apply such royalty rate reduction to the royalty rates owed to Depomed pursuant to Section 7.3(e)(ii) or Section 7.3(e)(iii). In the event such royalty rate reduction exceeds the royalty rate owed to Depomed pursuant to Section 7.3(e)(ii) or Section 7.3(e)(iii), then Depomed shall reimburse Collegium within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year for the portion of the amount paid by Collegium to Grünenthal during such calendar year that is equivalent to the amount Collegium would have been entitled to withhold from Depomed pursuant to the foregoing sentence. Except for (A) Collegium’s payment obligations to Grünenthal, (B) Collegium’s indemnification obligations under clause (vii) of Section 12.2(a), and (C) Depomed’s activities in pursuing rights and remedies under the Grünenthal License Agreement for the benefit of Collegium upon Collegium’s written request, in

the case of (A) and (C), as set forth in this Section 7.3(e), Collegium shall not be liable to Grünenthal or to Depomed or any of its Affiliates for any costs, Liabilities or expenses associated with Depomed’s acts or omissions under or in connection with the Grünenthal License Agreement.

(vi) Depomed shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, fulfill all of its and their respective obligations, including payment obligations, under the Grünenthal License Agreement and Consent Agreement. Depomed shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, amend or waive, or take any action or omit to take any action that would alter, any of its rights under the Grünenthal License Agreement or Consent Agreement in any manner that adversely affects, or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, Collegium’s rights and benefits under this Agreement. Depomed shall promptly notify Collegium of any default or breach under the Grünenthal License Agreement or Consent Agreement. In the event that Depomed, or any of its Affiliates, shall fail to make any payment when due or any other default or breach arises under the Grünenthal License Agreement or Consent Agreement, Collegium shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make such payment or otherwise cure such default or breach on behalf of Depomed or its Affiliate. In such event, Depomed shall promptly reimburse Collegium any such amounts paid and/or costs and expenses incurred by Collegium or, at Collegium’s election, Collegium may offset such amounts paid and/or costs and expenses incurred by Collegium against any amounts payable to Depomed hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Depomed shall not assign the Grünenthal License Agreement, other than in connection with a permitted assignment by Depomed of this Agreement under Section 17.9, without Collegium’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In addition, Depomed shall not consent to an assignment of the Grünenthal License Agreement without Collegium’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed (provided that Collegium shall not withhold its consent in a manner that would cause Depomed to breach any of Depomed’s obligations under the Grünenthal License Agreement).

(f) Material Supply Failure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a Material Supply Failure occurring after the Closing and not later than December 31, 2018, Collegium shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after the occurrence thereof) provide Depomed with written notice thereof (a “Material Supply Failure Notice”) and indicate in such notice whether Collegium elects to exercise the option to modify its rights and obligations under this Agreement such that:

(i) (A) the payment obligations under Section 7.3(a) solely with respect to Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products during the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 (including the obligation to pay Minimum Quarterly Payments with respect to such period) shall no longer apply, and (B) Collegium shall instead be subject to the payment obligations under Section 7.3(b) with respect to such period;

(ii) if, after payment of all amounts due under Section 7.3(b) by Collegium to Depomed with respect to Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products during the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the amount of Annual Net Sales with respect to such period retained by Collegium (i.e., Annual Net Sales less any payments to Depomed pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(e), any payments to Grünenthal pursuant to the Grünenthal License Agreement, and COGS) is less than Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000), then Collegium shall provide Depomed with written notice thereof not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of such period, including reasonable supporting documentation, and Depomed shall pay to Collegium the difference between Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) and such amount actually retained by Collegium, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor; and

(iii) Collegium's right to give notice of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(b) shall not become effective until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, such that any such termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(b) shall not become effective until on or after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date after taking into account the one (1) year notice period set forth in Section 9.2(b).

In the event of a Material Supply Failure, if Collegium does not provide a Material Supply Failure Notice by the deadline set forth above or does not affirmatively elect to exercise the foregoing option in conjunction with timely delivery of a Material Supply Failure Notice, then Collegium's rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without modification, and without limitation of any other rights or remedies available to Collegium. Without limiting the foregoing, neither party will take any action or omit to take any action under this Agreement which it knows or reasonably should know is likely to result in a Material Supply Failure.

(g) Reports. Payments due to Depomed pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be made via the sweep account mechanism set forth in Section 7.7(b)(i). Within forty-five (45) days after the last day of each calendar quarter, Collegium shall deliver a report in a mutually agreed form specifying: (A) the total gross invoiced amount from sales of Payment-Bearing Products by Collegium and its Affiliates; (B) the amounts deducted by category from gross invoiced amounts to calculate Net Sales; (C) Annual Net Sales (to date, as applicable) for the applicable calendar year; (D) amounts payable under this Section 7.3; and (E) any refund amounts due under Section 7.7(b). Within twenty-five (25) days after the last day of each month, Collegium shall provide a good faith estimate of Net Sales for the prior month. Within twenty-five (25) days after the last day of each calendar quarter, Collegium shall provide a good faith estimate of Net Sales for the prior quarter and estimated payments of all amounts due under this Section 7.3 for the prior quarter.

Section 7.4 Maintenance of Records

(a) Newco and Collegium agree, and Collegium shall cause Newco, to keep, for a period of at least three (3) years after the date of entry (or such longer period as may be required by Legal Requirements) full and accurate records maintained in accordance with GAAP in sufficient detail to enable a Third Party to accurately calculate all payments, reports and similar obligations of Collegium under this Agreement, including all payments, reports and similar obligations of Collegium with respect to the Grünenthal License Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(e). Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, such records shall be made available by Collegium for audit by an independent certified public accounting firm designated by Depomed and reasonably acceptable to Collegium. The auditor shall be required to enter into a non-disclosure agreement with Collegium prior to commencing its auditing activities. The auditor shall disclose to Depomed and Collegium only a summary of the audit results. The auditor will only examine such books and records during business hours but not more than once each calendar year while this Agreement remains in effect and for three (3) years thereafter. The fees and expenses of the auditor performing such verification examination shall be borne by Depomed; provided, however, that if any verification reveals that Collegium has reported incorrectly, and the amount of such discrepancy is at least five percent (5%) of the aggregate amount that should have been reported for the period examined, then Collegium shall pay the entire amount of the fees and expenses for such verification.

(b) Whenever in this Agreement a party is required to report its costs, or is entitled to receive or obligated to make a payment based on its costs, such costs (including COGS) shall be determined in accordance with GAAP, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The term “out-of-pocket” costs or expenses means cost or expenses paid to Third Parties and shall not include any fixed costs or expenses, personnel costs or expenses, overhead costs or expenses, or other costs or expenses of a similar nature.

Section 7.5 Allocation of Prepaid Business Expenses

The Prepaid Business Expenses shall be prorated on a per diem basis such that Depomed shall have financial responsibility for the portion of the applicable billing period prior to the Closing Date and Collegium shall have financial responsibility for the portion of the applicable billing period after the Closing Date (the “Collegium Prepaid Business Expense Allocation”). Collegium shall pay to Depomed, on the Closing Date, the Collegium Prepaid Business Expense Allocation. Such payment shall be non-refundable, and shall not be creditable against any other amount due hereunder.

Section 7.6 Payments

Any payments required to be made by either party under this Agreement shall be made in United States Dollars via wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as the other party shall designate in writing prior to the date of such payment. All payments shall bear interest from the date due until paid at a rate equal to the lesser of: (a) the prime rate

effective for the date that payment was due (as quoted by the Wall Street Journal, Internet Edition) plus eight percent (8%) or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 7.7 Security

(a) Letter of Credit.

(i) As of the Closing Date, Newco shall, and Collegium shall cause Newco to, deliver to Depomed an irrevocable standby letter of credit from a nationally recognized financial institution (the “Financial Institution”), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Depomed, in favor of Depomed (the “Letter of Credit”) in an aggregate amount of Thirty-Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($33,750,000) (the “Maximum Stated Value”), to be issued pursuant to a master agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Depomed (the “Master Letter of Credit Agreement”, and together with the Letter of Credit, the “Letter of Credit Documents”). Depomed shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit, up to the Maximum Stated Value, in the event that there is a shortfall in the Minimum Quarterly Payment made to Depomed by Collegium pursuant to Section 7.3(a) hereof, solely to the extent of such quarterly shortfall as determined in good faith by Depomed (a “Quarterly Shortfall”), provided that Collegium does not pay the amount of such Quarterly Shortfall to Depomed within forty-five (45) days after the last day of such calendar quarter.

(ii) At any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below), Depomed may provide a written notice to the Financial Institution and Newco asserting a Quarterly Shortfall (the “Claim Notice”). The Claim Notice shall state the amount of such Quarterly Shortfall (the “Claim Amount”). Following its receipt of a Claim Notice, the Financial Institution shall permit Depomed to draw upon the Letter of Credit in the amount of the Claim Amount and shall deliver the applicable funds under the Letter of Credit in accordance with the Claim Notice.

(iii) Newco shall, and Collegium shall cause Newco to, maintain the Letter of Credit in effect until the earliest of (A) 5:00 p.m. eastern time on the day that is sixty-one (61) days after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, (B) the date on which the Financial Institution honors a drawdown on the Letter of Credit which exhausts the Maximum Stated Amount and (C) the termination of this Agreement by either party ((A), (B) or (C), the “Expiration Date”). For clarity, if there is any drawdown on the Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 7.7(a)(iii), Newco shall not be obligated, and Collegium shall not be obligated to cause Newco to, reissue the Letter of Credit at the full Maximum Stated Value or at any value. Further, if there is any drawdown on the Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 7.7(a)(iii), Newco shall not be obligated, and Collegium shall not be obligated to cause Newco, to maintain the Letter of Credit in an aggregate amount of the Maximum Stated Value for the term of this Agreement.

(b) Accounts

(i) Depomed and Newco shall, and Collegium shall cause Newco to, establish and maintain with a Financial Institution reasonably satisfactory to Depomed, in the name of Depomed and Newco a sales account (the “Sales Account”). Such account and any amounts deposited therein shall be pledged in favor of Depomed to secure the payment obligations of Newco and Collegium owed to Depomed pursuant to Section 7.3, and shall be subject to a first priority Lien and “control” (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) pursuant to a deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Depomed (the “Control Agreement”). The Control Agreement shall be entered into by Depomed, Newco and the applicable Financial Institution as of the Closing Date.

(ii) Newco shall, and Collegium shall cause Newco to, cause all amounts from gross sales of the Payment-Bearing Products to be deposited directly into the Sales Account (including, requiring all Customers of the Payment-Bearing Products to remit all payments owed to Collegium or any of its Affiliates or any other Sublicensees directly into the Sales Account) and, on a daily basis, thirty-five percent (35%) of such day’s deposits (the “Newco Deposits”) shall be swept into an account designated by Depomed until the Minimum Quarterly Payment obligation is satisfied for each calendar quarter, and sixty-five percent (65%) shall be swept into an account designated by Newco. Once the Minimum Quarterly Payment obligation is satisfied for a given calendar quarter, then one hundred percent (100%) of the Newco Deposits shall be swept into an account designated by Newco. The sweep mechanism shall not be subject to change and shall be the only mechanism for disbursing funds from the Sales Account, unless in a writing signed by both Depomed and Newco; provided that upon an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Collateral Agreement), Depomed may exercise all remedies granted under the Collateral Agreement. Based on Newco’s reports provided to Depomed calculating amounts payable under Section 7.3, Depomed shall refund to Newco any amounts overpaid to Newco from the Newco Deposits within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such reports.

(iii) Newco shall, and Collegium shall cause Newco to, pay all fees, expenses and charges of the Financial Institution at which the Sales Account is maintained. Neither Newco nor Collegium shall have any right to terminate the Financial Institution at which the Sales Account is maintained without Depomed’s prior written consent. Any such consent, which Depomed may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions to the satisfaction of Depomed: (A) the successor Financial Institution shall be acceptable to Depomed; (B) Depomed shall have received evidence that all of the applicable parties making payments in respect of sales of the Payment-Bearing Product have been instructed to remit all future payments in respect of sales of the Payment-Bearing Product to the new accounts held at the successor Financial Institution; and (C) Depomed shall have received evidence to its satisfaction necessary to secure Depomed’s security interest in the Sales Account, including the execution and delivery of the Control Agreement in favor of Depomed in form and substance satisfactory to Depomed.

Section 7.8 Other Fees

From and after the Closing Date, and without limiting Collegium’s obligations under Section 5.2(c), Collegium shall reimburse Depomed for all fees and costs that Depomed incurs with respect to Third Parties (including Governmental Authorities) based upon its ownership and maintenance of the Regulatory Approvals for the Products, including branded prescription drug fees payable to the Internal Revenue Service and fees related to the ER/LA Opioid Analgesics REMS. Depomed shall send an invoice to Collegium at the end of each calendar quarter that summarizes such fees and costs for such quarter, and Collegium shall pay such invoice promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days of receipt).

Section 8.4 Collegium Use of Depomed Names

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending upon Collegium’s receipt of its own NDC Numbers for the Products in accordance with Section 8.2 (the “Limited License Period”), Depomed grants, and shall cause its Affiliates to grant, to

Collegium and its Affiliates a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the Depomed Names, and the UPCs and, subject to Section 8.2, the NDC Numbers for each of the Products, in each case solely for the purpose of utilizing the labels, packaging, and Promotional Materials for the Products as they exist on the Closing Date.

(b) Promptly upon the expiration of the Limited License Period, Collegium shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, destroy and dispose of all labels and packaging, and all Promotional Materials, in each case in its possession or subject to its control, bearing any Depomed Names; provided, however, that the expiration of the Limited License Period shall not restrict Collegium and its Affiliates from selling the Transferred Inventory or any finished goods inventory of Product acquired by Collegium pursuant to an order that was outstanding as of the Closing Date. For clarity, the expiration of the Limited License Period shall not restrict Collegium or its Affiliates from exercising any of the rights granted to them with respect to the Promotional Materials under Section 4.5.

(c) In no event shall Collegium or any of its Affiliates (i) use any Depomed Names in any manner or for any purpose different from the use of such Depomed Names by Depomed and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date to market, distribute and sell the Products or (ii) manufacture or produce, or cause or authorize any Third Party to manufacture or produce, any new labels, packaging or advertising, marketing, sales and promotional materials using or otherwise incorporating any Depomed Names in any manner.

(d) Collegium shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the quality of the finished goods inventory of Products sold by Collegium under any Depomed Names is of a sufficiently high quality to be generally comparable to the quality of the Products sold by Depomed prior to the Closing Date. At the reasonable request of Depomed, Collegium will send Depomed samples of such finished goods inventory of Products. In the event Collegium materially breaches this Section 8.4(d) and fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days after Depomed notifies Collegium in writing of such breach, Depomed may terminate the license granted under Section 8.4(a) by delivery to Collegium of a written notice of termination. If Collegium disputes in good faith the existence or materiality of an alleged breach specified in a notice provided by Depomed pursuant to this Section 8.4(d), and provides notice to Depomed of such dispute within the sixty (60) day period following the date that Depomed notified Collegium of the breach, Depomed will not have the right to terminate such license unless and until the existence of such material breach has been finally determined in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of Section 17.12 and Collegium fails to cure such breach within twenty (20) days following such determination.

(e) Notwithstanding the transfer of any labels or packaging, or any advertising, marketing, sales and promotional materials, Collegium acknowledges that this Agreement does not, and shall not, transfer, convey or assign any right, title, license or interest in any trademarks of Depomed or any of its Affiliates other than the Licensed Trademarks pursuant to the Trademark License Agreement.

Section 8.5 Customer Service

For the period from the Effective Date up to the Closing Date, Depomed will continue to provide all customer service with respect to the Products at a level comparable to that which was provided prior to the Effective Date. On and from the Closing Date, through the completion of the Term, Collegium shall assume all customer service responsibility and provide all customer service required by its customers with respect to the Products. As of the Closing Date, and through the completion of the Term, all customer service requests relating to the Product received by Depomed will be referred to Collegium to the attention of Collegium’s customer service provider as designated by Collegium.

ARTICLE 9

TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 9.1 Term

(a) The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall, unless terminated sooner in accordance with this Article 9, continue for so long as Collegium is engaging in any Commercialization activities with respect to a Payment-Bearing Product (the “Term”).

Section 9.2 Early Termination

(a) Depomed may terminate this Agreement: (i) upon at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Collegium in the event that the aggregate Net Sales of the Payment-Bearing Products in the Territory during any period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months ending on or before December 31, 2021 are less than One Hundred Eighty Million Dollars ($180,000,000) and Depomed does not receive the full amount of any Minimum Quarterly Payment that becomes due and payable during that same twelve (12) month period, either through direct payment of the Minimum Quarterly Payment by Collegium or by Depomed’s recourse to the Letter of Credit or Sales Account pursuant to Section 7.7(a) or Section 7.7(b); (ii) without cause, upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Collegium given not later than December 31, 2018, provided that Depomed pays to Collegium a termination fee in the amount of Eighty Million Dollars ($80,000,000) not later than the effective date of termination; or (iii) upon at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Collegium in the event that the Annual Net Sales of Payment-Bearing Products for any period after December 31, 2021 are less than One Hundred Forty Million Dollars ($140,000,000).

(b) At any time on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date (subject to Section 7.3(f)(iii)), Collegium and Newco may tender a written notice to Depomed

terminating this Agreement for any reason, with such termination to be effective one year from the delivery of such notice; provided that, if the effective date of termination designated in such notice is prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, then such termination shall be contingent upon the payment by Collegium to Depomed, not later than the termination date, of a termination fee in the amount of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000). After the delivery of notice of termination and prior to the effective date of termination pursuant to this Section 9.2(b), Collegium shall continue to comply with its diligence obligations as set forth in the first sentence of Section 4.1 and otherwise operate and maintain the business and assets relating to this Agreement in the ordinary course of business and consistent in all material respects with the twelve (12) month period prior to such delivery of notice of termination.

(c) Collegium and Newco may terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Depomed, if the Grünenthal License Agreement is terminated by Grünenthal as a result of any breach of the Grünenthal License Agreement by Depomed (other than a breach of the Grünenthal License Agreement by Depomed which is caused by a breach by Newco or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, including Collegium or its Affiliates, of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any of Depomed’s obligations under the Grünenthal License Agreement).

Section 9.3 Termination for Cause

(a) In the event of a material breach of this Agreement other than a failure to make any undisputed payment(s) hereunder, the non-breaching party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the breaching party specifying the nature of such breach in reasonable detail. Such termination shall become effective sixty (60) days from receipt of such notice by the breaching party, unless the allegedly breaching party disputes such breach in good faith.

(b) In the event of a material breach of this Agreement by a party as a result of any failure to make any undisputed payment(s) under this Agreement, the non-breaching party (excluding Newco, in the event the breaching party is Collegium, and Collegium, in the event the breaching party is Newco) shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the breaching party and such termination shall become effective ten (10) days from receipt of such notice by the breaching party unless the breaching party has cured such breach within such period. If such breach is due to the action of Collegium, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate immediately, without the need for notice by the non-breaching party. For clarity, Collegium shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligation to make any Minimum Quarterly Payment to Depomed under this Agreement in the event that Depomed does not receive its full Minimum Quarterly Payment through the Sales Account and Depomed is eligible to, and does, draw on the Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 7.7(a) to satisfy any such Quarterly Shortfall.

(c) If Collegium or Depomed disputes in good faith the existence or materiality of an alleged material breach specified in a notice provided by the other party pursuant to this Section 9.3, and provides notice to the other party of such dispute within the sixty (60) day period or ten (10) day period, as applicable, following the date that the other party notified the breaching party of the breach, the other party will not have the right to terminate this Agreement unless and until the existence of such material breach has been finally determined in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of Section 17.12 and the breaching party fails to cure such breach within twenty (20) days following such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Collegium shall not be entitled to dispute its obligation to make any of the Minimum Quarterly Payments to Depomed due and payable under Section 7.3(a).

Section 9.4 Termination for Bankruptcy.

To the extent permitted by law, each party (excluding Newco, in the event the other party is Collegium, and Collegium, in the event the other party is Newco) will have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the other party, in the event of (a) the entry of an order for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any corresponding remedy under successor laws) against the other party, (b) the filing of a petition by or against the other party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (which petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after filing), (c) the appointment of a receiver for the other party’s business or property or (d) the other party’s making of a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors. Where Collegium is the “other party,” such term “other party” is hereby deemed to mean either Collegium or Newco. Notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the events specified in this Section 9.4, the parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code applies to this Agreement, the non-insolvent party may elect to retain and exercise the rights granted to it hereunder with respect to the intellectual property owned or controlled by the insolvent party.

Section 9.5 Termination for Failure to Obtain HSR Clearance

If the HSR Clearance Date has not occurred on or before seventy (70) days after the Effective Date, then any party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon notice to the other parties referencing this Section 9.5, and except for Article 13 and Section 17.12, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect after such termination.

Section 9.6 Termination for Failure to Close

If the parties fail to close on or prior to February 28, 2018, then any party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon notice to the other parties referencing this Section 9.6, and except for Article 13 and Section 17.12, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect after such termination; provided, however, that the failure of the parties to close shall not be due to the action or inaction of the party invoking its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.6; and provided, further, that if Depomed is

unable for any reason to extend the termination date set forth in the Consent Agreement beyond January 31, 2018 on the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Consent Agreement as of the Effective Date (other than the revision to such termination date), then any party will have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.6 if the parties fail to close on or prior to January 31, 2018.

Section 9.7 Effects of Termination

(a) General Effects of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the following terms and conditions shall apply:

(i) Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either party of any obligations that accrued prior to such expiration or termination, including accrued payment obligations.

representatives, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Depomed Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses to the extent arising from or relating to (i) any Assumed Liability; (ii) any breach by Collegium or Newco of any of their covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; (iii) any breach of any warranty or representation of Collegium or Newco contained in this Agreement; (iv) the use of any Depomed Names by Collegium, Newco or any of their Affiliates (or any Third Party acting on behalf of Collegium, Newco or any of their Affiliates) in a manner not authorized under Section 8.4; (v) any development, Manufacture, use, testing, handling, storage or Commercialization of the Products or Line Extensions by or on behalf of Collegium, Newco or any of their Affiliates or Third Party Sales Representatives after the Closing Date (other than by Depomed on behalf of Collegium or Newco pursuant to this Agreement), including any Regulatory Communications, Regulatory Approvals, Product Promotion, handling of product complaints, reporting of Product adverse events, product liability claims, Product recalls, and any related Product regulatory activities that are the subject of Health Laws; (vi) any grossly negligent or willful acts or omissions by Collegium, Newco or any of their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives in connection with the Transaction Documents; (vii) any breach of the Grünenthal License Agreement caused, directly or indirectly, by Newco or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, including Collegium or its Affiliates; or (viii) any actions taken by Depomed or its Affiliates in performing the Transition Plan. The indemnity obligation set forth in this Section 12.2(a) shall not apply to the extent Depomed has an obligation to indemnify Collegium Indemnitees in respect to such matter under Section 12.1(a).

(b) Depomed shall take, and shall cause the other Depomed Indemnitees to take, commercially reasonable actions to mitigate any Loss that a Depomed Indemnitee asserts under this Article 12 upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit the ability of Depomed and the other Depomed Indemnitees to incur reasonable costs and expenses in connection therewith.

Section 12.3 Notice of Claims

Any Collegium Indemnitee or Depomed Indemnitee claiming that it has suffered or incurred any Loss for which it may be entitled to indemnification under this Article 12 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the matter, action, cause of action, claim, demand, fact or other circumstances upon which a claim for indemnification under this Article 12 (each, a “Claim”) may be based. Such notice shall contain, with respect to each Claim, such facts and information as are then reasonably available with respect to such Claim, including a description of the Losses suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party, the amount or estimated amount of such Losses (if known or reasonably capable of estimation) and the method of computation of such Losses, and a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. If any Claim is based on any action, claim, suit or proceeding (in equity or at law) instituted by a Third Party with respect to which the Indemnified Party intends to claim

any Loss under this Article 12 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify (the “Third Party Claim Notice”), in writing, the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim and offer to tender to the Indemnifying Party the defense of such Third Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give written notice of and to offer to tender the defense of any Third Party Claim in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 12.3 shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 12, except (a) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby or (b) as provided in Section 12.5.

Section 12.4 Third Party Claims

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Third Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Claim, to assume the conduct and control, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and through counsel of its choosing that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of such Third Party Claim and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) such Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Legal Proceeding, (ii) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on the advice of counsel, that there is an irreconcilable conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the conduct of such defense or (iv) after assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party withdraws from such defense or fails to diligently pursue and maintain such defense.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may compromise or settle such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party advance written notice of any proposed compromise or settlement and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, consent to or enter into any compromise or settlement that commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action or does not provide for a full and complete written release by the applicable Third Party of the Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party may compromise or settle any Third Party Claim for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party may consent to the entry of any judgment that does not relate solely to monetary damages arising from any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Subject to Section 12.4(a), the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such Third Party Claim through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to, or is not

permitted to pursuant to Section 12.4(a), control or conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party nevertheless shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, at its own expense, to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose.

(d) The parties shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention and the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and (ii) reasonable access to employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

Section 12.5 Expiration

If the Closing shall have occurred, all covenants, agreements, warranties and representations made herein or in any certificate delivered in accordance herewith shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein or in any certificate delivered in accordance herewith, and all indemnification obligations under Section 12.1(a)(iii), Section 12.1(a)(iv), Section 12.2(a)(ii) and Section 12.2(a)(iii) with respect to any such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements shall (a) in the case of such representations and warranties other than the Fundamental Representations, terminate and expire on, and no action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any thereof or for any misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect thereto, shall be commenced after, the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, (b) in the case of the Fundamental Representations, terminate and expire, and no action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any thereof or for any misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect thereto, as provided in the relevant statute of limitations, or (c) in the case of any covenants or agreements, survive indefinitely or for such shorter period of time specified therein, in each case, unless prior to such date a claim for indemnification with respect thereto shall have been made, with reasonable specificity, by written notice given in accordance with Section 12.3.

Section 12.6 Certain Limitations

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in no event shall Depomed or any of its Affiliates have any liability under any provision in this Agreement for any Taxes (and any Losses with respect thereto or resulting therefrom) to the extent such Taxes are attributable to Tax periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date.

Section 12.7 Sole Remedy/Waiver

Except for either party’s right to terminate the Agreement set forth in Section 9.3, and except as set forth in the penultimate sentence of this Section 12.7 and in Section 17.13, this Article 12 provides the sole recourse and exclusive means from and after the Closing by which a party may assert and remedy any Losses arising under or with respect to this Agreement or any certificate or instrument of transfer, assignment or assumption delivered under this Agreement,

and Section 17.12 and Section 17.13 provide the exclusive means by which a party may bring actions against the other party under or with respect to this Agreement or any certificate or instrument of transfer, assignment or assumption delivered under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit the liability of any party hereto for intentional or willful misrepresentation of material facts which constitutes common law fraud under applicable Legal Requirements. With respect to any Losses arising under or with respect to this Agreement or any certificate or instrument of transfer, assignment or assumption delivered under this Agreement, each party agrees that it shall only seek such Losses from the other parties, and each party hereby waives the right to seek Losses from any Affiliate of the other parties (except in the case of Newco, as an Affiliate of Collegium, and in the case of Collegium, as an Affiliate of Newco), or any director, officer or employee of the other parties (or any of its Affiliates).

Section 12.8 Right to Offset

Each party shall have the right to offset any amount owed by the other party to such first party under or in connection with this Agreement, including pursuant to this Article 12 or in connection with any breach, against any future payments owed by such first party to such other party under this Agreement, in each case based on a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 17.11 (from which no appeal may be taken), any written agreement of the parties as to amounts owed or pursuant to an arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 17.12, as applicable. Such offsets shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available under this Agreement and applicable Legal Requirements. For clarity, in the event that Collegium is entitled to and does offset any amounts owed to it by Depomed in accordance with this Section 12.8 against any of the Minimum Quarterly Payments otherwise owed by it under Section 7.3(a), Collegium will not be deemed to be in breach of its payment obligations to Depomed hereunder and the amount of such offset shall not constitute a Quarterly Shortfall for which Depomed will be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 7.7(a)

Section 12.9 Indemnity Payments

In the event that any party agrees to, or is determined to have an obligation to, pay another party for Losses as provided in this Article 12, the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to its rights under Section 12.8, if applicable, promptly pay such amount to the Indemnified Party in U.S. Dollars via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) specified in writing by the Indemnified Party.

Section 12.10 Calculation of Damages

Except as otherwise provided in this Article 12, in any case where the Indemnified Party subsequently recovers from its insurance provider(s) any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which an Indemnifying Party has indemnified it pursuant to this Article 12 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include an amount recovered as a Tax benefit), such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered

(after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of any amount previously so paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter and less any increase in premiums or other fees reasonably attributable to such insurance recovery.

Section 12.11 No Consequential Damages

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ANY BREACH OF SECTION 2.5 OR SECTION 2.7(B), NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE OTHER PARTY FOR LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS DAMAGES OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR MULTIPLIED DAMAGES THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OR ANY LIABILITY RETAINED OR ASSUMED HEREUNDER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO PRECLUDE RECOVERY IN RESPECT OF ANY LOSS DIRECTLY INCURRED OR SUFFERED FROM THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

ARTICLE 13

CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICITY

Section 13.1 Proprietary Information

Pursuant to this Agreement, a party receiving Proprietary Information from the other, directly or indirectly, will treat such Proprietary Information as confidential, will use such Proprietary Information only for the purposes of this Agreement and will not disclose, and will take all reasonable precautions to prevent the disclosure of, such Proprietary Information to (a) any of its officers, directors, managers, equity holders, actual or potential partners, acquirers, financing sources, licensees, sublicensees, research collaborators, subcontractors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates or consultants, except those who need to know such Proprietary Information and who are bound by a like obligation of confidentiality and non-use or (b) to Third Parties other than those referenced in clause (a).

Section 13.2 Disclosures Required by Law

In the event the recipient party is required under applicable Legal Requirements to disclose Proprietary Information of the disclosing party to any Governmental Authority to obtain any Regulatory Approval for the Products, is required to disclose Proprietary Information in connection with bona fide legal process (including in connection with any bona fide dispute hereunder) or is required to disclose Proprietary Information under the rules of the securities exchange upon which its securities are traded, the recipient party may do so only if it limits disclosure to that purpose after giving the disclosing party prompt written notice of any instance of such a requirement in reasonable time for the disclosing party to attempt to object to or to

limit such disclosure. In the event of disclosures required under applicable Legal Requirements, the recipient party shall cooperate with the disclosing party as reasonably requested thereby.

Section 13.3 Publicity

The parties have agreed upon the form and content of their own press releases to be issued by each of the parties promptly following the execution of this Agreement in the forms attached hereto as Schedule 13.3. Once such press release or any other written statement is approved for disclosure by the parties, either party may make subsequent public disclosure of the contents of such statement without the further approval of the other party. Any other publicity, news release, public comment or other public announcement, whether to the press, to stockholders, or otherwise, relating to this Agreement, shall first be reviewed and approved by the parties, except no such approval shall be required for such publicity, news release, public comment or other public announcement which, in accordance with the advice of legal counsel to the party making such disclosure, is required by Legal Requirement or for appropriate market disclosure; provided, however, that each party shall be entitled to refer publicly to the relationship of the parties reflected in this Agreement in a manner that is consistent with the joint press release issued by the parties. For clarity, any party making any announcement which is required by Legal Requirement will, unless prohibited by law, give the other party an opportunity to review the form and content of such announcement and comment before it is made. The parties shall work together to coordinate their respective filings with governmental agencies, including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as to the contents and existence of this Agreement as each party shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate and each party shall provide the other party an opportunity to comment on any proposed filings to ensure consistent treatment. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement and one or more of the other Transaction Documents may need to be filed by one or both parties with the SEC. The parties agree, prior to making any such filing with the SEC, to provide the other party and its counsel with (i) a proposed redacted version of this Agreement (and any other Transaction Document, as applicable) which it intends to file with the SEC, and (ii) any draft correspondence proposed to be sent to the SEC requesting the confidential treatment by the SEC of those redacted sections of the Agreement (or any other Transaction Document, as applicable), and to give due consideration to any comments provided by the other party or its counsel and use reasonable efforts to ensure the confidential treatment by the SEC of those sections specified by such other party or its counsel.

(a) During the Term and for a period of two (2) years after any expiration or termination of this Agreement, each party shall maintain (i) a commercial general liability insurance policy or policies with minimum limits of [***] per occurrence [***] in the aggregate on an annual basis and (ii) a product liability insurance policy or policies with minimum limits of

101

[***] per occurrence and [***] in the aggregate on an annual basis. Upon request, each party shall provide certificates of insurance to the other evidencing the coverage specified herein. Neither party’s liability to the other is in any way limited to the extent of its insurance coverage.

ARTICLE 17

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 17.1 Headings

The titles, headings or captions and paragraphs in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not define, limit, extend, explain or describe the scope or extent of this Agreement or any of its terms or conditions and therefore shall not be considered in the interpretation, construction or application of this Agreement.

Section 17.2 Severability

In the event that any of the provisions or a portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or a governmental authority, such provision or portion of any provision will be construed and enforced as if it had been narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the enforceable portion of any such provision and the remaining provisions will not be adversely affected thereby.

Section 17.3 Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, all of which are incorporated by reference, contains all of the terms agreed to by the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements, understandings, or arrangements between the parties, whether oral or in writing.

Section 17.4 Amendments

This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered, or supplemented except by means of a written agreement or other instrument executed by both of the parties hereto. No

102

course of conduct or dealing between the parties will act as a modification or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 17.5 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and together shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement, following its execution, may be delivered via telecopier machine or other form of electronic delivery, which shall constitute delivery of an execution original for all purposes.

Section 17.6 Waiver

The failure of either party to enforce or to exercise, at any time or for any period of time, any term of or any right arising pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute, and will not be construed as, a waiver of such term or right, and will in no way affect that party’s right later to enforce or exercise such term or right.

Section 17.7 Force Majeure

In the event of any failure or delay in the performance by a party of any provision of this Agreement due to acts beyond the reasonable control of such party (such as, for example, fire, explosion, strike or other difficulty with workmen, shortage of transportation equipment, accident, act of God, declared or undeclared wars, acts of terrorism, or compliance with or other action taken to carry out the intent or purpose of any law or regulation) (a “Force Majeure Event”), then such party shall have such additional time to perform as shall be reasonably necessary under the circumstances. In the event of such failure or delay, the affected party will use its diligent efforts, consistent with sound business judgment and to the extent permitted by law, to correct such failure or delay as expeditiously as possible. In the event that a party is unable to perform due to a Force Majeure Event its obligation to perform under the affected provision(s) of this Agreement shall be suspended during such time of nonperformance.

Neither party shall be liable hereunder to the other party nor shall be in breach for failure to perform its obligations caused by a Force Majeure Event. In the case of any such event, the affected party shall promptly, but in no event later than five (5) days of its occurrence, notify the other party stating the nature of the condition, its anticipated duration and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. Furthermore, the affected party shall keep the other party informed of the efforts to resume performance. After fifteen (15) days of such inability to perform, the parties agree to meet and in good faith discuss how to proceed.

103

Section 17.8 Successors and Assigns

Subject to Section 17.9, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted under this Agreement.

Section 17.9 Assignment

This Agreement and the rights granted herein shall not be assignable (or otherwise transferred) by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any attempted assignment without consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to the fourth sentence of this Section 17.9), Collegium or Depomed may transfer, assign or delegate its rights and obligations under this Agreement without consent to: (a) an Affiliate reasonably capable of performing such party’s obligations under this Agreement, for so long as such entity remains an Affiliate, provided that the assigning party shall remain primarily liable for any acts or omissions of such Affiliate; (b) in the case of Depomed, solely with respect to the transfer or assignment of its rights to receive payments (or any portion thereof) due to Depomed under this Agreement, provided that, in connection with such a transfer or assignment, Depomed may disclose to the transferee or assignee any reports or information provided to Depomed regarding such payments under a written agreement containing non-disclosure and non-use provisions no less stringent than as set forth in this Agreement; or (c) a successor to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the assigning party relating to this Agreement, whether by sale, merger, consolidation, acquisition, transfer, operation of law or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement and the rights granted herein shall not be assignable (or otherwise transferred) by Collegium to a Third Party, other than to a successor in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of Collegium, prior to the expiration of the last-to-expire Grünenthal Patent, without the prior written consent of Depomed, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Collegium nor any of its Affiliates (other than Newco, which cannot assign (or otherwise transfer) this Agreement and the rights granted herein) shall transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person that (i) does not have at least an equal or greater amount of stockholders’ equity, working capital, and a commercial sales force as Collegium as of the Closing Date; and (ii) is not a “United States person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Person that is disregarded from any Person that is not a “United States person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes). In connection with any permitted assignment of this Agreement by Collegium, or Subcontracting pursuant to which a Third Party Sales Representative is engaged by Collegium to Promote the Products, Collegium shall ensure that the assignee or Subcontractor, as applicable, provides representations and warranties in substantially the same form and substance as set forth in Section 10.2(i)(v). No party shall knowingly engage any Third Party appearing on the FDA’s debarment list or the list of excluded individuals/entities of the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to perform, or assist such party in the performance

104

of, its obligations under this Agreement, and the parties shall review each such list prior to engaging any such Third Party. No assignment under clause (a) of this Section 17.9 shall relieve the assigning party of any of its responsibilities or obligations hereunder and, as a condition of such assignment, the assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by all obligations of the assigning party hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

Section 17.10 Construction

The parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) each party and its representatives have reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and have contributed to its revision; and (b) the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be construed fairly as to each party and not in favor of or against either party regardless of which party was generally responsible for the preparation or drafting of this Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender include each other gender; (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement; (iv) the terms “Article,” “Section,” “Exhibit,” “Schedule,” or “clause” refer to the specified Article, Section, Exhibit, Schedule, or clause of this Agreement; (v) “or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive; and (vi) the term “including” or “includes” means “including without limitation” or “includes without limitation.” Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number shall refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified. Any references in this Agreement to an amount paid by Company as being “non-refundable” or “non-creditable” shall not be construed to limit Collegium’s right to seek to recover or actually recover any amount of damages arising from any uncured breach of this Agreement by Depomed, subject only to the limitations and exclusions in Section 12.11.

Section 17.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; No Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law, principles or rules of such state, to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would permit or require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(b) The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in the State of New York for the resolution of all disputes or controversies between the parties which, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirement, are not subject to the provisions of Section 17.12. Each of the parties (i) consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any suit, action or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions; (ii) waives any objection that it may have to the laying of venue in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court; and (iii) agrees that service of any court paper may be made in such manner as may be provided under applicable Legal Requirements or court rules governing service of process. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE,

105

AND AGREE TO CAUSE THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES TO WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED AGREEMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party acknowledges and irrevocably agrees that with respect to any Covered Action, such party agrees and shall take (or refrain from taking) such actions as necessary (i) to procure that any Covered Action shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the county of New York, and any appellate court thereof, (ii) to procure that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective addresses provided in Section 15.1 shall be effective service of process against it for any Covered Action, (iii) to waive and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any Covered Action, and (iv) to procure that a final judgment in any Covered Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal Requirement. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect or eliminate any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Legal Requirement. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY COVERED ACTION.

Section 17.12 Dispute Resolution

The parties recognize that a dispute may arise relating to this Agreement (a “Dispute”). Other than with respect to Third Party Claims, any Dispute, including Disputes that may involve any Affiliates of a party, shall be resolved in accordance with this Section 17.12.

(a) Mediation.

(i) The parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute by confidential mediation in accordance with the then current Mediation Procedure of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (the “CPR Mediation Procedure”) (xxx.xxxxxx.xxx) before initiating arbitration. The CPR Mediation Procedure shall control, except where it conflicts with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. The mediator shall be chosen pursuant to CPR Mediation Procedure. The mediation shall be held in New York, New York.

(ii) Either party may initiate mediation by written notice to the other party of the existence of a Dispute. The parties agree to select a mediator within twenty (20) days of the notice and the mediation will begin promptly after the selection. The mediation will continue until the mediator, or either party, declares in writing, no sooner than after the conclusion of one full day of a substantive mediation conference attended on behalf of each party by a senior business person with authority to resolve the Dispute, that the Dispute cannot be

106

resolved by mediation. In no event, however, shall mediation continue more than sixty (60) days from the initial notice by a party to initiate meditation unless the parties agree in writing to extend that period.

(iii) Any period of limitations that would otherwise expire between the initiation of mediation and its conclusion shall be extended until twenty (20) days after the conclusion of the mediation.

(b) Arbitration.

(i) If the parties fail to resolve the Dispute in mediation, and a party desires to pursue resolution of the Dispute, the Dispute shall be submitted by either party for resolution in arbitration pursuant to the then current CPR Non-Administered Arbitration Rules (the “CPR Rules”) (xxx.xxxxxx.xxx), except where they conflict with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. The arbitration will be held in New York, New York. All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential.

(ii) The arbitrators will be chosen from the CPR Panel of Distinguished Neutrals, unless a candidate not on such panel is approved by the parties. Each arbitrator shall be a lawyer with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience with a law firm or corporate law department of over twenty-five (25) lawyers or who was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction. To the extent that the Dispute requires special expertise, the parties will so inform CPR prior to the beginning of the selection process.

(iii) The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators, of whom each party shall designate one in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in CPR Rule 5.4. The chair will be chosen in accordance with CPR Rule 6.4. If, however, the aggregate award sought by the parties is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and equitable relief is not sought, a single arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the CPR Rules. Candidates for the arbitrator position(s) may be interviewed by representatives of the parties in advance of their selection, provided that all parties are represented.

(iv) The parties agree to select the arbitrator(s) within forty-five (45) days of initiation of the arbitration. The hearing will be concluded within nine (9) months after selection of the arbitrator(s) and the award will be rendered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the hearing, or of any post hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within forty-five (45) days after the conclusion of the hearing. In the event the parties cannot agree upon a schedule, then the arbitrator(s) shall set the schedule following the time limits set forth above as closely as practical.

(v) The hearing will be concluded in ten (10) hearing days or less. Multiple hearing days will be scheduled consecutively to the greatest extent possible. A

107

transcript of the testimony adduced at the hearing shall be made and shall be made available to each party.

(vi) The arbitrator(s) shall be guided, but not bound, by the CPR Protocol on Disclosure of Documents and Presentation of Witnesses in Commercial Arbitration (xxx.xxxxxx.xxx) (the “Protocol”). The parties will attempt to agree on modes of document disclosure, electronic discovery, witness presentation, etc. within the parameters of the Protocol. If the parties cannot agree on discovery and presentation issues, the arbitrator(s) shall decide on presentation modes and provide for discovery within the Protocol, understanding that the parties contemplate reasonable discovery.

(vii) The arbitrator(s) shall decide the merits of any Dispute in accordance with the law governing this Agreement, without application of any principle of conflict of laws that would result in reference to a different law. The arbitrator(s) may not apply principles such as “amiable compositeur” or “natural justice and equity.”

(viii) The arbitrator(s) are expressly empowered to decide dispositive motions in advance of any hearing and shall endeavor to decide such motions as would a United States District Court Judge sitting in the jurisdiction whose substantive law governs.

(ix) The arbitrator(s) shall render a written opinion stating the reasons upon which the award is based. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the district in which the arbitration is held for the enforcement of these provisions and the entry of judgment on any award rendered hereunder. Should such court for any reason lack jurisdiction, any court with jurisdiction may act in the same fashion.

(x) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each party has the right to seek from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin or other equitable relief to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, preserve its status and priority as a creditor or preserve the subject matter of the Dispute. Rule 14 of the CPR Rules does not apply to this Agreement.

Section 17.13 Equitable Relief

Each party acknowledges that a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement may not reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages in an action at law and that such a breach may cause the other party irreparable injury and damage. By reason thereof, each party agrees that the other party is entitled to, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement by the other parties; provided, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy will be construed as a waiver or prohibition against the pursuing of other legal or equitable remedies in the event of such a breach. Each party agrees that the existence of any claim, demand, or cause of action of it against the other parties, whether predicated upon this Agreement, or otherwise, will not

108

constitute a defense to the enforcement by the other parties, or its successors or assigns, of the covenants contained in this Agreement.

Section 17.14 Relationship Between Parties

The parties are acting and performing as independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement creates the relationship of partnership, joint venture, sales agency, or principal and agent. Neither party is the agent of the other, and neither party may hold itself out as such to any other party. Neither party shall have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other party, or to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever.

Section 17.15 Tax Treatment

Unless required by applicable Legal Requirements, the parties agree to treat, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, (i) the grant of any license pursuant to Section 2.1(a) as a license and not as a sale and (ii) the sale of the Transferred Assets pursuant to this Agreement as a sale of such Transferred Assets for the Transferred Asset Purchase Price. Collegium and Newco, and their respective Affiliates, agree that no Taxes shall be withheld from any amounts due to Depomed pursuant to this Agreement, provided that Depomed provides Collegium with a properly completed, executed IRS Form W-9.

Section 17.16 Bulk Transfer Laws

Collegium acknowledges that Depomed and its Affiliates have not taken, and do not intend to take, any action required to comply with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer laws or similar laws and hereby waives compliance therewith.

Section 17.17 Forward Looking Statements

Without limiting the foregoing, Collegium acknowledges and agrees that (a) it may have received from Depomed various forward looking projections, forecasts and business or commercial plans regarding the Products (collectively, the “Forward-Looking Statements”) in connection with Collegium’s investigation of the Transferred Assets; (b) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such Forward-Looking Statements; (c) Collegium is familiar with such uncertainties; (d) Collegium is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all Forward-Looking Statements; (e) Collegium is not relying on any Forward-Looking Statement in any manner whatsoever; and (f) Collegium shall have no claim against Depomed or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Forward-Looking Statement. Collegium further acknowledges and agrees that Depomed makes no representation or warranty hereunder with respect to (i) the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying any Forward-Looking Statement; or (ii) any Forward-Looking Statement made in any materials in the Data Room, any supplemental due diligence information provided or made available to Collegium,

109

any of Collegium’s discussions with management regarding the Products or any negotiations leading to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
