each Calendar Quarter occurring		Scheduled Quarterly Amount

in the first Calendar Quarter of 2018		$1,700,000 plus the Make-Whole Premium, if any

(ii) Tranche B Scheduled Quarterly Amounts. In the event that the Tranche B Closing occurs and subject to the Quarterly Cap in Section 2.1(b) and to the limitations in Section 2.1(d) and Section 2.1(f), Seller will, or will cause its Affiliates to, during the Payment Period, as applicable, pay Purchaser the scheduled quarterly amount set forth in the corresponding table below (each, a “Tranche B Scheduled Quarterly Amount”):

in 2017		$5,300,000 plus the Make-Whole Premium, if any
in the first Calendar Quarter of 2018		the Tranche B Final Amount (as set forth below) plus the Make-Whole Premium, if any

The “Tranche B Final Amount” shall be calculated as follows:

If the Tranche B Closing Date occurs on any of the following dates (each a “Fixed Tranche B Date”):	Then, the Tranche B Final Amount shall be:
April 30, 2013	$	8,800,000
May 31, 2013	$	7,600,000

October 31, 2013	$	1,900,000
November 29, 2013	$	800,000
December 23, 2013	$	0

If the Tranche B Closing Date occurs on any day other than a Fixed Tranche B Date, then the Tranche B Final Amount shall be prorated based on the number of days between the

previous and next Fixed Tranche B Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Tranche B Final Amount shall never be greater than $8,800,000 or less than $0.

(iii) The Scheduled Quarterly Amount will be calculated and payable by Seller or its Affiliates on a Calendar Quarter basis during the Payment Period, and Seller will, or will cause its Affiliates to, pay the Scheduled Quarterly Amount to Purchaser within *** after the end of such Calendar Quarter (each, a “Payment Date”).

(b) Each Calendar Quarter during the Payment Period (other than the Scheduled Quarterly Amount payable for the first Calendar Quarter of 2018 which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be subject to a Quarterly Cap), the Scheduled Quarterly Amount payable by Seller and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 2.1(a) will be subject to a cap of twenty-five percent (25%) of Net Sales for any such Calendar Quarter (each, a “Quarterly Cap”). In the event a Scheduled Quarterly Amount shall be subject to a Quarterly Cap for any particular Calendar Quarter (other than the Scheduled Quarterly Amount payable for the first Calendar Quarter of 2018 which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be subject to a Quarterly Cap), Seller shall first make payment of the Tranche A Scheduled Quarterly Amount and then, to the extent the Quarterly Cap has not been attained with such payment, Seller shall make payment of the Tranche B Scheduled Quarterly Amount up to the Quarterly Cap.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Seller shall be permitted to make payments of Scheduled Quarterly Amounts irrespective of attainment of any Quarterly Cap (or any portion thereof) using funds from any source, and not necessarily out of revenues derived from Net Sales in the Territory for the applicable period.

(d) Seller shall have the option to prepay all Scheduled Quarterly Amounts due hereunder at any time during the Payment Period for an amount equal to the Outstanding Payment Amount (the “Payoff Date”). Seller shall provide written notice to Purchaser of the exercise of this option not less than *** prior to the Payoff Date. Upon payment of the Outstanding Payment Amount on the Payoff Date, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will have any obligation to pay to Purchaser any additional Scheduled Quarterly Amount pursuant to this Section 2.1 and this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall terminate.

(e) All payments of Scheduled Quarterly Amount under this Section 2.1 and any other payment made by Seller or its Affiliates to Purchaser under this Agreement will be made in U.S. dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds, free and clear of all Encumbrances and without offset or reduction by Seller or its Affiliates of any kind, to such account as Purchaser will notify Seller in writing.

(f) Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will have any obligation to pay to Purchaser any Scheduled Quarterly Amount pursuant to this Section 2.1 and Purchaser will not have an obligation to fund the Tranche B Amount once Seller satisfied in full its obligations under Section 4.8(m), Section 4.12 or Section 4.13. If Purchaser has funded the Tranche B Amount and a Retail Pharmacy Failure has occurred, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will

have any obligation to pay to Purchaser any Tranche B Scheduled Quarterly Amount once Seller has satisfied its obligations in full under Section 4.14.

2.2 DELIVERABLES DUE TO PURCHASER.

(a) Each Calendar Quarter during the Payment Period, Seller will send a written report to Purchaser on each Payment Date showing (i) the Net Sales for the Calendar Quarter in question (and for that Calendar Year to date), showing in reasonably specific detail how calculated, (ii) a breakdown of such Net Sales by Product and territory, and (iii) any Quarterly Cap applicable to such Scheduled Quarterly Amount (each such report containing the items set forth in this Section 2.2(a)(i) — (iii), a “Quarterly Report”). Seller shall prepare and maintain and shall cause its Affiliates and any Permitted Partner to prepare and maintain reasonably complete and accurate records of the information to be disclosed in each Quarterly Report specified in Section 2.2(a)(i) and (ii).

(b) Within *** after the end of each of the first three Calendar Quarters of a Calendar Year during the Payment Period, Seller will provide Purchaser with copies of the unaudited balance sheets of Seller and its consolidated subsidiaries for the corresponding Calendar Quarter, the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for such Calendar Quarter and the notes to such financial statements (the “Unaudited Financial Statements”) certified by an executive officer of Seller as true and complete in all material respects; provided, however, that Seller’s obligation under this Section 2.2(b) shall be satisfied with respect to any Calendar Quarter for which Seller has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the Unaudited Financial Statements on Form 10-Q pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Each set of the Unaudited Financial Statements shall be the Confidential Information of the Seller.

(c) Within *** after the end of each Calendar Year during the Payment Period, the Seller will provide Purchaser with copies of the audited balance sheets of Seller and its consolidated subsidiaries for such Calendar Year, the related audited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for such Calendar Year and the notes to such financial statements (the “Audited Financial Statements”) certified by an executive officer of Seller as true and complete in all material respects; provided, however, that Seller’s obligation under this Section 2.2(c) shall be satisfied with respect to any Calendar Year for which Seller has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the Audited Financial Statements on Form 10-K pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Each set of the Audited Financial Statements shall be the Confidential Information of Seller.

2.3 RECORDS; AUDIT RIGHTS.

(a) Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates to, consistent with their respective internal financial control and reporting practices and procedures, keep and maintain, for a period of *** from the end of an applicable ***, accounts and records of all data reasonably required to verify payments of Scheduled Quarterly Amounts and Quarterly Reports, to verify and calculate the amounts to be paid to Purchaser under this Agreement.

(b) During the Term and for *** thereafter, during normal business hours and upon at least *** prior written notice to Seller, but no more frequently than ***, and no more than *** during the Payment Period, Purchaser has the right to audit, through a nationally recognized “Big 4” accounting firm (which firm shall be independent of Seller and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates) mutually acceptable to the Parties (the “Accounting Firm”), those accounts and records of Seller and Seller’s Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the Quarterly Reports and the amounts received by Purchaser (provided, however, that, prior to conducting any such audit, the Accounting Firm will have entered into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller). The Accounting Firm will keep confidential all information obtained during such audit and will issue a written report to Purchaser and to Seller with only: (i) the actual amount of Net Sales made during the *** in question, (ii) the resulting over- or under-payment of Scheduled Quarterly Amounts to Purchaser that occurred during the *** in question; and (iii) the details of any discrepancies between the Scheduled Quarterly Amounts that were paid and the Scheduled Quarterly Amounts that should have been paid. The determination of the actual amount of Scheduled Quarterly Amounts to be paid to Purchaser under this Agreement with respect to any *** will be binding and conclusive on the Parties upon the expiration of *** following the end of such ***, unless an audit of such *** has been initiated before the expiration of such *** period and is on-going, in which case, such determination will be binding and conclusive on the Parties upon completion of such audit. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, absent a substantive error, the report from the Accounting Firm will be final and non-appealable. In the event that either Party identifies a substantive error in the report from the Accounting Firm, the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith with each other and the Accounting Firm to resolve the error and the related report within *** of such Party notifying the Accounting Firm of the substantive error. If the Parties and the Accounting Firm cannot resolve the error to the mutual satisfaction of the Parties within such *** period, then the original determination of the Accounting Firm shall be final and non-appealable.

(c) Purchaser is solely responsible for all the expenses of the Accounting Firm, unless the Accounting Firm’s report shows any underpayment by Seller exceeding *** of the payment it owed Purchaser for any of the *** then-being reviewed. If the Accounting Firm’s report shows that Seller underpaid by more than ***, Seller is responsible for the reasonable expenses incurred by Purchaser for the Accounting Firm’s services. Any payment owed by one Party to another as a result of the audit shall be made within *** of the date that the audit report is deemed to be final and non-appealable, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances. In addition, any payment under this Section 2.3 shall bear interest in accordance with Section 2.5.

2.4 TAXES.

(a) During the Term, Purchaser (i) will provide Seller written notice as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ***, upon (I) the inaccuracy, obsoletion or invalidity of any form or information provided by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.4, or (II) any assignment of this Agreement or any portion thereof (including the Purchased

Receivables) pursuant to Section 7.3, (ii) will provide Seller with validly executed IRS Forms in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.6(d) and Section 1.8(b) of this Agreement and will provide Seller (x) updated versions of such Form or Forms (or any successor forms) as required by Applicable Law, and (y) in the event that this Agreement or any portion thereof (including the Purchased Receivables) is assigned pursuant to Section 7.3, the assignee will provide Seller with IRS Forms W-8IMY, W-8BEN and W-9, as applicable, and such additional IRS Form or Forms as are, in Seller’s good faith judgment, reasonably required in order to satisfy the requirements of Sections 871(h)(2)(B)(ii), 881(c)(2)(B)(ii) and 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, subject to the obligation to provide updated versions of such forms (or any successor form) under Section 2.4(a)(ii)(x), and (iii) will provide any other forms or information as Seller may reasonably request in connection with Seller’s determination as to the applicability of any withholding Taxes to payments hereunder.

(b) Unless there is (i) a Change in Law, (ii) delivery of a notice pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(i)(I) and failure to cure the inaccuracy, obsoletion or invalidity described in such notice within ***, (iii) a failure to deliver any form or information required by Section 2.4(a)(ii) or (iii), (iv) a failure of any payment (or portion of such payment) pursuant to this Agreement to qualify as portfolio interest within the meaning of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code because the person or persons who are treated for U.S. tax purposes as having received such payment or portion are described in Section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3) of the Code, or (v) a failure by Purchaser to provide to Seller such information and documents as may be required pursuant to the provisions of Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, Seller shall make all payments to Purchaser under this Agreement free and clear of any withholding or other United States Tax; provided that Seller shall have no responsibility for any Tax imposed on or with respect to a payment because such payment is treated as effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser or is otherwise subject to net income taxation by the United States.

(c) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.4(b), Seller shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to Purchaser.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties intend the transactions contemplated under this Agreement to be characterized as and treated as debt for all U.S. tax purposes and each Party shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports in a manner consistent with that characterization.

2.5 INTEREST. In the event a payment under this Agreement is not made when due hereunder, the amount of such outstanding payment will accrue interest (from the date such payment is due through and including the date on which full payment is made) at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (a) 12% per annum plus the Prime Rate on the date when the payment was

due and calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable or (b) the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law; provided, however, that under no circumstances will the maximum interest rate payable under this Section 2.5 exceed 12.75% per annum. Payment of accrued interest will accompany payment of the outstanding payment. “Prime Rate” means the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern U.S. Edition, on the date such payment is due.

2.6 NO OTHER COMPENSATION. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that the terms of this Agreement fully define all consideration, compensation and benefits, monetary or otherwise, to be paid, granted or delivered by Purchaser to Seller and by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Neither Seller nor Purchaser have previously paid or entered into any other commitment to pay, whether orally or in writing, any Seller or Purchaser employee, directly or indirectly, any consideration, compensation or benefits, monetary or otherwise, in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

4.6 TRUE SALE. Purchaser and Seller intend and agree that the sale, conveyance, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Receivables shall constitute a true sale by Seller to Purchaser of the Purchased Receivables that is absolute and irrevocable and that provides Purchaser with the full benefits and detriments of ownership of the Purchased Receivables, and neither Purchaser nor Seller intends the transactions contemplated hereunder to be a financing transaction, borrowing or a loan from Purchaser to Seller, except as provided in Section 2.4(d). Each Party further agrees that it will treat the sale of the Purchased Receivables as a sale of an “account” in accordance with the UCC. Seller disclaims any ownership interest in the Purchased Receivables upon execution of this Agreement and each of Seller and Purchaser waives any right to contest or otherwise assert that this Agreement is other than a true, absolute and irrevocable sale and assignment by Seller to Purchaser of the Purchased Receivables under Applicable Law, which waiver will be enforceable against the applicable Party in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding relating to such Party, except to the extent required by GAAP or the rules of the SEC. Seller authorizes and consents to Purchaser filing, including with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, one or more UCC financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) or other instruments and notices, in such manner and in such jurisdictions as in Purchaser’s determination may be necessary or appropriate to evidence the purchase, acquisition and acceptance by Purchaser of the Purchased Receivables hereunder and to perfect and maintain the perfection of Purchaser’s ownership in the Purchased Receivables and the security interest in the Purchased Receivables granted by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.7; provided, however, that Purchaser will provide Seller with a reasonable opportunity to review any such financing statements (or similar documents) prior to filing and the description of the collateral identified in any such financing statement shall be limited to the “Collateral” as defined herein. For greater certainty, Purchaser will not file this Agreement in connection with the filing of any such financing statements (or similar documents). For sake of clarification, the foregoing statements in this Section 4.6 shall not bind either party regarding the reporting of the transactions contemplated hereby for GAAP or SEC reporting purposes.

4.7 PRECAUTIONARY SECURITY INTEREST IN PURCHASED RECEIVABLES. Without limiting Section 4.8 and as set forth in Section 4.6, it is the intent and expectation of both Seller and Purchaser that the sale, conveyance, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Receivables be a true, irrevocable and absolute sale by Seller to Purchaser for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in an abundance of caution to address the possibility that, notwithstanding that Seller and Purchaser expressly intend and expect for the sale, conveyance, assignment and

transfer of the Purchased Receivables hereunder to be a true and absolute sale and assignment for all purposes, in the event that such sale and assignment will be characterized as a loan or other financial accommodation and not a true sale or such sale will for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable as such, as determined in a judicial, administrative or other proceeding (any of the foregoing being a “Recharacterization”), then this Agreement will be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other Applicable Law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the intention of Seller and Purchaser that the sale of the Purchased Receivables will constitute a true sale thereof, effective as of the Tranche A Closing Date, Seller does hereby grant to Purchaser a continuing security interest of first priority in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Receivables, whether now or hereafter existing, and any and all “proceeds” thereof (as such term is defined in the UCC), in each case, for the benefit of Purchaser as security for the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price actually paid to Seller together with the performance when due of all of Seller’s obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, which security interest will, upon the filing of a duly prepared financing statement in the appropriate filing office and to the extent the Purchased Receivables constitute an asset and not an obligation of Seller, be perfected and prior to all other Encumbrances thereon (other than Permitted Encumbrances) to the extent such security interest can be perfected under the UCC by the filing of a financing statement in the appropriate filing office. Purchaser will have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies will be cumulative. Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser, as secured party, to file the UCC financing statements contemplated by Section 4.6. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of Seller and Purchaser represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of payments of the Scheduled Quarterly Amount, in respect of the payments of the Scheduled Quarterly Amount or any other payment owed by Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement, will have been in payment of a debt incurred by Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of Seller and Purchaser, and made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of Seller and Purchaser.

4.8 SECURITY INTEREST IN ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL; REMEDIES.

(a) Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Additional Collateral, to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of all obligations of Seller hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents owing to the Purchaser, which security interest will, upon the filing of a duly prepared financing statement in the appropriate filing office (and the filing of the Patent Security Agreement with the PTO), be perfected and prior to all other Encumbrances thereon (other than the Permitted Encumbrances).

(b) Seller will notify Purchaser in writing at least *** (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by Purchaser) prior to any change in, or amendment or alteration to, (i) its legal name, (ii) its form or type of organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization (including its status as a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware), or (iii)

its Federal Employer Identification Number or state organizational identification number. Seller agrees not to effect or permit any such change referred to above unless all filings have been made under the UCC or otherwise that are required in order for Purchaser to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected Encumbrance (prior and superior in right and interest to any other Person (other than Permitted Encumbrances)) in all the Collateral.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.4(a), Seller will execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to grant, create, preserve, enforce, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests and other Encumbrances created by this Agreement in the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller will do or cause to be done all acts and things that Purchaser from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that Purchaser holds duly created and enforceable and perfected Encumbrances upon the Collateral (including any property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become Collateral after the date of this Agreement), in each case, as contemplated by, and with the lien priority required under, this Agreement. Nothwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.8(c) shall not obligate the Seller to otherwise undertake collateral perfection or protection obligations not otherwise required under the Transaction Documents (it being understood that perfection obligations with respect to Collateral that is perfected by delivery or control shall only be as expressly required pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, actions with respect to Collateral that is not subject to perfection under the UCC or by filing a Patent Security Agreement with the PTO shall not be required unless reasonably requested by Purchaser, including such actions in jurisdictions other than the United States or a State thereof).

(d) Upon the request of Purchaser at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Seller will permit Purchaser or any advisor, auditor, consultant, attorney or representative acting for Purchaser, upon reasonable notice to Seller and during normal business hours, to make extracts from and copy the books and records of Seller (and its Affiliates, as applicable) relating to the Collateral, and to discuss any matter pertaining to the Collateral with the officers and employees of Seller (and its Affiliates, as applicable).

(e) Unless in connection with (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control (for which Purchaser shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.12), (ii) a Permitted Partnering Agreement, or (iii) a Permitted Action, Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to (A) directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, lease, license, sublicense, convey or otherwise directly or indirectly dispose of any of the Collateral or any interest therein or (B) except for the security interest in the Collateral granted to Purchaser, cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Encumbrance of any kind, other than a Permitted Encumbrance, on or with respect to any of the Collateral or any interest therein, or, in each case, enter into any agreement to do any of the foregoing.

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Purchaser will have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this Agreement, at law or in equity (including as set forth in Section 4.8(m)) with respect to the Collateral, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) or other Applicable Law.

(g) Seller agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Purchaser will have the right, subject to Applicable Law and subsection (n) below, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as Purchaser shall deem appropriate. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of Seller.

(h) Purchaser will give Seller not less than *** prior written notice of the time and place of any such proposed sale. Any such notice will (i) in the case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (ii) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated, (iii) contain the information specified in Section 9-613 of the UCC, (iv) be authenticated and (v) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant to Section 9-611(c) of the UCC; provided that, if Purchaser fails to comply with this sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC. Seller agrees that such written notice will satisfy all requirements for notice to Seller that are imposed under the UCC or other Applicable Law with respect to the exercise of Purchaser’s rights and remedies hereunder upon default. Purchaser will not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall have been given. Purchaser may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.

(i) Any such public sale will be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Purchaser may fix and state in the notice of such sale. At any sale or other disposition following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as Purchaser may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. If any of the Collateral is sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of by Purchaser on credit, the obligations secured by the security interests granted herein shall not be deemed to have been reduced as a result thereof unless and until payment in full is received thereon by Purchaser.

(j) At any such public (or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant hereto, Purchaser may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of Seller, the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale, and Purchaser may make

payment on account thereof by using any or all of the obligations secured by the security interests granted herein as a credit against the Purchase Price actually paid to Seller, and Purchaser may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to Seller therefor.

(k) As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, Purchaser may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and, subject to subsection (n) below, to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.

(l) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Seller hereby waives all rights of demand, redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that Seller now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

(m) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.8(f), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the sole election of the Purchaser (and automatically and without any notice to Seller, upon the upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (e) of the definition thereof), the Outstanding Payment Amount, will be due and payable to Purchaser (except as set forth in Section 4.8(n) below). Presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind are hereby expressly waived. Further, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Purchaser may, subject to any restrictions set forth in this Section 4.8, foreclose or otherwise realize upon the Collateral in such portions or in full as Purchaser sees fit in its sole discretion.

(n) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if there is an occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in subsection (e) of that definition (a Bankruptcy Event), and if there is a sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral by Purchaser pursuant to subsection (g) or subsection (k) above, then, in such case, Purchaser hereby agrees to accept from the proceeds of such a sale or other disposition an amount equal to the Outstanding Payment Amount.

4.9 IN-LICENSES.

(a) Seller shall act in a commercially reasonable manner with respect to its obligations under each of the In-Licenses and shall not take any action or forego any action that would reasonably be expected to constitute a material breach thereof. Promptly, and in any event within ***, after receipt of any written notice from a counterparty to such In-License or its Affiliates of an alleged material breach under any In-License, Seller shall give notice thereof to the Purchaser, including delivering the Purchaser a copy of such written notice. To the extent commercially reasonable, Seller shall undertake efforts to cure any material breaches by it under any In-License and shall give written notice to the Purchaser upon curing any such breach. Promptly, and in any event within *** following Seller’s notice to a counterparty to any material In-License of an alleged material breach under such In-License, Seller shall give notice

(b) Seller shall promptly (and in any event within ***) provide the Purchaser with (i) executed copies of each new material In-License, (ii) executed copies of each material amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of an In-License and (iii) copies of all material reports, documents, and other materials provided by the counterparty to each In-License to Seller to the extent that the foregoing relate to Net Sales of Product.

(c) Seller shall provide Purchaser with written notice following any counterparty’s material breach of its obligations under any material In-License.

(d) Seller shall provide the Purchaser with written notice following the termination of any material In-License.

4.10 THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS.

Promptly, and in any event within ***, after receipt of any written notice from any of the parties thereto or their Affiliates of an alleged material breach by Seller under a Third Party Agreement, Seller shall give notice thereof to the Purchaser, including delivering the Purchaser a copy of such written notice. To the extent commercially reasonable, Seller shall undertake efforts to cure any material breaches by it under any Third Party Agreements and shall give written notice to the Purchaser upon curing any such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may terminate any Third Party Agreement that, in Seller’s reasonable discretion, is no longer necessary or useful for the development, manufacture, sale or commercialization of Product.

(b) Promptly (and in any event within ***) after Seller becomes aware of, or comes to believe in good faith that there has been, a material breach of any Third Party Agreement by the counterparty thereto, Seller shall provide notice of such breach to the Purchaser. In addition, Seller shall provide to the Purchaser a copy of any written notice of material breach or alleged material breach of any material Third Party Agreement delivered by Seller to the counterparty thereto within *** following such delivery.

(c) Seller shall promptly (and in any event within ***) provide the Purchaser with (i) executed copies of any material agreement meant to replace or supersede the services being provided under a Third Party Agreement and (ii) executed copies of each material amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of a Third Party Agreement.

(d) Seller shall provide the Purchaser with written notice following the termination of any Third Party Agreement.

4.11 PARTNERING AGREEMENTS. Seller may, in its sole discretion and without the prior consent of or notice to Purchaser, enter into a Permitted Partnering Agreement.

4.12 CHANGE OF CONTROL. Upon the consummation of a Change of Control, automatically and without any notice to Seller, an amount equal to the Outstanding Payment Amount as of the date of the consummation of such Change of Control will be due and payable to Purchaser on the consummation of such Change of Control. Presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

4.13 PROMOTION AND MARKETING OF PRODUCT.

CONFIDENTIALITY

5.1 DEFINITION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” of a Party means any information furnished by or on behalf of such Party to the other Party or its Affiliates (whether written or oral, or in electronic or other form, and whether furnished before or after the date of this Agreement) concerning, or related in any way, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement and the subject thereof, the Purchased Receivables, Product, the Qsymia Product Rights and the Excluded Assets, including, without limitation, (a) any license, sublicense or other agreements involving or relating in any way, directly or indirectly, to the Purchased Receivables, Product or the Qsymia Product Rights, including the In-Licenses and the Third Party Agreements, and (b) any documents, reports, notices, requests or correspondence furnished pursuant to this Agreement.

5.2 OBLIGATIONS. Except as authorized in this Agreement or except upon obtaining the other Party’s prior written permission to the contrary, each Party agrees that during the Term and for *** thereafter it will: (a) maintain in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the other Party’s Confidential Information; (b) not use the other Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose, except as contemplated in this Agreement; and (c) protect the other Party’s Confidential Information in its possession by using the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information (but no less than a reasonable degree of care).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Party will be entitled to injunctive relief to restrain the Breach or threatened Breach by the other Party of this Article 5 without having to prove actual Damages or threatened irreparable harm. Such injunctive relief will be in addition to any rights and remedies available to the aggrieved Party at law, in equity, and under this Agreement for such Breach or threatened Breach.

(b) Legally Required. A Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information, without the other Party’s prior written permission, to any Person to the extent such disclosure is necessary to comply with Applicable Law, applicable stock exchange requirements, or an order or subpoena from a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that the compelled Party, to the extent it may legally do so, will give reasonable advance notice to the

other Party of such disclosure and, at such other Party’s reasonable request and expense, the compelled Party will use its reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party receives a request from an authorized representative of a Tax authority for a copy of this Agreement, that Party may provide a copy of this Agreement to such Tax authority representative without advance notice to, or the permission or cooperation of, the other Party.

5.4 TERMS OF AGREEMENT. Except to the extent allowed under Section 5.3 or as otherwise permitted in accordance with this Section 5.4, neither Party will make any public announcements concerning this Agreement or the terms hereof, without the prior written consent of the other Party and each Party agrees that it will each treat the contents and terms of this Agreement and the consideration for this Agreement as Confidential Information of the other Party. Consistent with Section 5.3(b), Purchaser and Seller agree to use reasonable efforts to provide the other with a copy of any required SEC or other filing regarding this Agreement or its terms to review prior to filing and to consider any comments of the other Party in good faith, and to the extent either Party has to file or disclose this Agreement with the SEC, such Party will consider in good faith the other Party’s comments with respect to confidential treatment of this Agreement’s terms and will redact this Agreement in a manner allowed by the SEC to protect sensitive terms, and will be permitted to file this Agreement, as so redacted, with the SEC.

In such event, such Party will forthwith deliver to the other Parties the counterpart of this Agreement executed by such Party.

7.6 INTERPRETATION. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections or Exhibits, such reference will be to an Article, Section or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

The headings and captions in this Agreement are for convenience and reference purposes only and will not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Unless specified otherwise, all statements of, or references to, monetary amounts in this Agreement are in U.S. dollars.

The Parties further acknowledge and agree that Purchaser is purchasing the Purchased Receivables solely in its capacity as an investor. Each Party is an independent contractor relative to the other Party under this Agreement, and this Agreement is not a partnership agreement and nothing in this Agreement will be construed to establish a relationship of co-partners or joint venturers between the Parties.
