(a)    bona fide trade and/or quantity discounts or allowances actually allowed and taken that are not already reflected in the amount invoiced;

(c)    amounts repaid or credited by reason of bona fide purchase chargebacks, product returns or rebates, or other pricing adjustments;

In the event that any Product is sold by a Person or its Affiliates in combination with another product, the Net Sales attributable to the sale of such Product in such combination shall be reduced to an amount obtained by multiplying the Net Sales of such combination product by a percentage determined by dividing (x) the selling Person’s regional (or, if practical, country) average net selling price of such Product by (y) the sum of such selling Person’s regional (or, if practical, country) average net selling price of each component of such combined product.  If the components of such combination are not separately sold in the relevant region or country, Net Sales of a Product in such circumstance shall be determined through an alternative allocation method proposed by Purchaser that is reasonably satisfactory to Seller.

(i)    In the event that Purchaser identifies any IP Right owned or controlled by a Third Party that absent a license or agreement with such Third Party, (I) would be infringed by Exploiting a Product in the Field in a territory or (II) that it is otherwise necessary for Purchaser to obtain a license to such IP Right in order to Exploit the Products in such territory ((I) and (II) together (“Blocking IP”), Purchaser may enter into an agreement with a Third Party to acquire or obtain such Blocking IP outright or acquire or obtain a license, covenant not to sue or other similar right to such Blocking IP.  If Purchaser enters into such agreement, Purchaser will be entitled to deduct from any Royalties due to Purchaser hereunder with respect to Net Sales in such territory, [*]% of royalties or any other amounts paid to such Third Party in respect of such agreement.


(ii)    If, with respect to any Product in any territory, a Generic Product is available in such territory and gross amounts invoiced or otherwise billed by Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to sales of such Product to Third Parties in such territory (“Gross Sales”) decrease by [*]% or more during any Calendar Year following the first sale of any such Generic Product in such territory, as compared to 
19








Gross Sales with respect to such Product in such territory during the last full Calendar Year immediately preceding the first sale of any such Generic Product in such territory, then Net Sales in such territory shall be reduced by [*]% for purposes of determining Royalties hereunder.


(iii)    On a Product-by-Product and territory-by-territory basis, if, during the Royalty Term with respect to such Product in such territory, there is no Valid Claim of a Patent that is included in the Seller IP or the Background IP that Covers such Product in such territory and, with respect to the Exploitation of such Product in the United States, such Product either is not designated as an “orphan drug” under the Orphan Drug Act or the period of exclusive marketing under the Orphan Drug Act has expired, then Net Sales related to such Product in such territory shall be reduced by [*]% for purposes of determining Royalties hereunder.


(iv)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Royalties payable to Fresh Cut hereunder be reduced by more than [*]%, on a Product-by-Product and territory-by-territory basis, in any Calendar Quarter as a result of the adjustments described in Section 3.4(b)(i), Section 3.4(b)(ii) and Section 3.4(b)(iii); provided, further, that any deductions in excess of [*]% may be carried forward to reduce subsequent Royalties payable hereunder until all such amounts are fully deducted.


(c)    Acknowledgement.  The Parties acknowledge that payments under this ARTICLE III are made in consideration of the sale and delivery of the Purchased Assets (including the Seller IP and other assets) and the license granted hereunder with respect to Background Patents and Background Know-How.


Section 3.5.    Payment. On or prior to the [*]th day following the end of each Calendar Quarter during the Royalty Term, Purchaser shall deliver to Fresh Cut a written report detailing the Royalties earned by Fresh Cut during the preceding Calendar Quarter and Licensing Revenue received by Purchaser during such Calendar Quarter.  Such report will include, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, (a) the aggregate gross sales of each Product during such Calendar Quarter, (b) Net Sales of each Product during such Calendar Quarter, (c) deductions taken from gross sales (by category as set forth in the definition of Net Sales) to arrive at the Net Sales calculation, provided that, in the case of Net Sales by a licensee of Purchaser, that such information is provided to Purchaser by any such third party licensee, (d) the Royalty Rates applied, (e) the amount of Royalties payable with respect to such Net Sales and (f) the amount of Licensing Revenue received by Purchaser during such Calendar Quarter (each, a “Royalty Statement”).  Each such report shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate amount due to Fresh Cut pursuant to Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 in United States Dollars by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by Fresh Cut to Purchaser reasonably in advance of the due date of the payment. In the event that no Royalties and no portion of Licensing Revenue are payable following the end of a given Calendar Quarter during the Royalty Term, the Royalty Statement shall so state that this is the case.


Section 3.6.    Record Keeping.  Purchaser shall keep and shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to keep books and accounts of record in connection with the sale of Products in sufficient detail to permit accurate determination of all figures necessary for verification of Royalties, Net Sales Earnout Payments, Licensing Revenue payments and other amounts to be paid hereunder.  Purchaser shall maintain, and cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to maintain, such records for a period of at least [*] ([*]) years after the end of the Calendar Year in which they were generated.


Section 3.7.    Audit Rights.


(a)    Fresh Cut may engage, at its own cost and expense, subject to this Section 3.7, an Independent Accounting Firm to conduct an audit of Purchaser (or, if applicable, its Affiliates or 
20








sublicensees) for the sole purpose of confirming the amount of Royalties and the portion of Licensing Revenue due to Fresh Cut pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.


(b)    Not later than [*] days following Fresh Cut’s request of an audit pursuant to this Section 3.7, Purchaser shall afford, or cause its Affiliates or sublicensees to afford, the Independent Accounting Firm access to and an opportunity to examine the pertinent books and records of Purchaser or, if applicable, its Affiliates or sublicensees, as it reasonably requests, during regular business hours, subject to such Independent Accounting Firm executing and delivering to Purchaser a reasonable confidentiality agreement.


(c)    Each of Fresh Cut and Purchaser will be entitled to receive (substantially simultaneously) a full written report of the Independent Accounting Firm with respect to its findings directly from the Independent Accounting Firm.  Within [*] Business Days after completion of the Independent Accounting Firm’s audit, Purchaser will pay to Fresh Cut any deficiency in the Royalty amount or portion of Licensing Revenue determined by the Independent Accounting Firm.  If the report of the Independent Accounting Firm shows that Purchaser overpaid, then Purchaser will be entitled to off-set such overpayment against any Royalties or portion of Licensing Revenue then owed to Fresh Cut or against any amount subsequently owed to Fresh Cut.  If the report of the Independent Accounting Firm shows a discrepancy between the amount of the Royalty or portion of Licensing Revenues to which Fresh Cut is entitled and the Royalty amount or portion of Licensing Revenues reflected by Purchaser in the Royalty Statement in Fresh Cut’s favor, then in addition to the payment of the shortfall in the Royalty amount or portion of Licensing Revenue, and if such discrepancy exceeds [*]% of the Royalty amount or portion of Licensing Revenues, as applicable, payable with respect to the period covered by the audit, then the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm in performing such audit will be paid by Purchaser.


(d)    Fresh Cut’s exercise of its audit rights under this Section 3.7 may not (A) be conducted for any Calendar Quarter more than [*] ([*]) years after the end of such Calendar Quarter to which such books and records pertain, (B) be conducted more than once in any twelve (12) month period (unless a previous audit during such twelve (12) month period revealed a material underpayment with respect to such period), or (C) be repeated for any Calendar Quarter.


Section 3.8.    Late Payments.  Any payments due under this Agreement shall be due on such date as specified in this Agreement or, in the event such date is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day. In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not made when due, unless there is a good faith dispute between the Parties as to the payment, the amount due shall accrue interest beginning on the Business Day following the date on which such payment was due, calculated at the annual rate equal to the prime interest rate reported in the Wall Street Journal for the due date plus [*]%, calculated from the due date until paid in full. Each payment made after the due date shall be accompanied by all interest so accrued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall have recourse to any other remedy available at law or in equity with respect to any delinquent payment, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

This Agreement has been, and each Ancillary Agreement to be executed on the Closing Date will be, duly executed and delivered by each Seller, as applicable, and, assuming the valid execution and delivery by Purchaser, constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Seller, as applicable, enforceable against each Seller, as applicable, in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).


Section 4.3.    No Conflict.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Seller and each Selling Affiliate of this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not (a) violate any provision of the by-laws or limited liability company operating agreement of such Seller or such Selling Affiliate; (b) except as set forth in Schedule 4.3, require any action by (including any authorization, consent or approval) or in respect of (including notice to), any Person under any Assumed Contract; (c) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of, constitute a default under, or create rights of acceleration, termination or cancellation under any Assumed Contract; or (d) result in the creation or imposition of a material Encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances) upon, or the forfeiture of, any Purchased Asset; or (e) violate, in any material respect, or result in a material breach of or constitute a material default under any Law or other restriction of any Governmental Entity to which either Seller or any Selling Affiliate is subject.

The Sellers and any applicable Seller Affiliates have performed or are performing all material obligations required to be performed by them under the Assumed Contracts and neither Seller or any applicable Seller Affiliate is in material breach or default thereunder.  To the Knowledge of Seller, no other party to any of the Assumed Contracts is in material breach or default 
22








thereunder, and no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time, or both, would constitute a material default under the provisions of such Assumed Contract or would give to others any right of termination, amendment or cancellation of any Assumed Contract.


Section 4.7.    Intellectual Property.


(a)    Schedule 4.7(a) sets forth an accurate, correct and complete list of (i) all Assigned Patents, (ii) all IP Rights included in the Seller IP and (iii) all IP Rights included in the Background IP, respectively, that are registered to the Sellers, their Affiliates or any other Person according to the records of any Governmental Entity or for which an application for issuance or registration has been filed with a Governmental Entity, in each case, indicating for each item (as applicable) the registration or application numbers, the filing, registration or issue dates, the applicable filing jurisdiction(s), titles and owners (the “Scheduled IP”).  Fresh Cut owns the entire right, title and interest in, under and to the Scheduled IP, free and clear of any Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances. All such Scheduled IP is registered and recorded in the name of Fresh Cut except where the failure to be so registered or recorded would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Sellers or their Affiliates have good and sufficient title to all Seller IP and, as of the Closing, all Seller IP shall be fully transferable to Purchaser, without restriction and without payment (other than as set forth in this Agreement) of any kind to any Person.


(b)    To the Knowledge of Seller, the Scheduled IP is valid, enforceable, subsisting and in full force and effect.  With respect to Scheduled IP, neither Seller nor its Affiliates, as applicable, have taken nor failed to take any action that reasonably would be expected to result in the abandonment, cancellation, forfeiture, relinquishment, invalidity or unenforceability of any of such Scheduled IP. The docket attached as Schedule 4.7(b) is the complete docket for all actions that must be taken within the 6 months following the Closing to maintain the registered IP Rights included in the Seller IP in full force and effect.  Schedule 4.7(b) also includes the names, street addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of each outside counsel responsible, as of the Closing, for each item of registered IP Rights included in the Seller IP.

Except as set forth in Schedule 4.7(c), each IP Contract is a valid and binding agreement of the Seller party thereto or its Affiliates, as applicable, enforceable against such Seller or its Affiliates in accordance with its terms. Neither of the Sellers nor their Affiliates are, or have received any written notice that any other party is, in default or breach in any material respect under and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there has not occurred, and neither of the Sellers nor their Affiliates have received any written notice that there has occurred or alleging the occurrence of, any event that with or without the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute, or would reasonably be expected to constitute, such a material default or breach under, or give to others any right of rescission, acceleration, termination or cancellation of any IP Contract or result in the creation of an Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) upon any Seller IP or any Encumbrance on the Background IP that conflicts with or would limit the rights granted thereunder to Purchaser.  The Sellers do not own or have rights to any IP Rights that would, but for any restrictions on the Sellers’ ability to grant a license thereunder to Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.3, constitute Background IP. There are no outstanding or threatened disputes with respect to any IP Contract.

(e)    To the Knowledge of Seller, the Exploitation by Purchaser of the Products (including the Seller IP and Background IP rights contained therein or embodied thereby) in the Field does not, and following commercialization would not reasonably be expected to, misappropriate, infringe, dilute or otherwise violate any Third Party’s IP Rights.

To the Knowledge of Seller, no material Seller IP or Background IP has been or is being used or enforced by the Sellers or their Affiliates in a manner that, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to result in the cancellation, invalidity, or unenforceability of such material Seller IP or Background IP.

No approval of Purchaser’s shareholders is necessary for Purchaser to execute and deliver this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements or perform the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to be executed on the Closing Date has been, and each other Ancillary Agreement to be executed on the Closing Date will be, duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming the valid execution and delivery by the Sellers, constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

Purchaser has conducted its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the business, results of operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) and assets of the Sellers and acknowledges that it has been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, assets, premises, books and records, and other documents and data of the Sellers and their Affiliates for such purpose.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that:  (a) in making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser has relied solely upon its own investigation and the express representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in ARTICLE IV; and (b) none of the Sellers, their Affiliates or any other Person has made any representation or warranty as to either Seller, the Products, the Purchased Assets or this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in ARTICLE IV of this Agreement.


ARTICLE VI.


PRE-CLOSING COVENANTS


Section 6.1.    Certain Contracts.  The Parties acknowledge that the Contracts listed on Schedule 6.1 are necessary to the research, development and commercialization of the Products (the “Assignable Necessary Contracts”). The Sellers therefore agree to make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents necessary to assign the Assignable Necessary Contracts prior to Closing; provided, however, that neither Seller shall be required to pay any consideration therefor.


Section 6.2.    Actions and Omissions with Respect to the Purchased Assets.  Except as contemplated in this Agreement or with the written consent of Purchaser, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, the Sellers shall undertake only such actions or omissions with respect to the Purchased Assets that are in the ordinary course of business.


Section 6.3.    Access to Information; Notice of Developments.


(a)    From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Sellers shall permit Purchaser and its Representatives to have reasonable access to all premises, properties, books, records (including Tax records) contracts and documents to the extent related to the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that any such access shall be provided only during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to the Sellers, under the supervision of the Sellers’ personnel and in such a manner as not to interfere with the conduct of the business of the Sellers or their Affiliates.


(b)    From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Sellers shall give Purchaser prompt written notice upon becoming aware of (i) any development that is or would reasonably be 
29








expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) any event or circumstance that results in a breach of, or inaccuracy in, the Sellers’ representations and warranties, or (iii) any breach of a covenant or agreement by the Sellers that would reasonably be expected to give rise to the failure of any condition set forth in Section 9.1; provided, however, that no such disclosure will be deemed to prevent or cure any such breach of, or inaccuracy in, amend or supplement any Section of the Seller Disclosure Schedules to, or otherwise disclose any exception to, any of the representations and warranties or the covenants of the Seller set forth in this Agreement.


Section 6.4.    Commercially Reasonable Efforts.  The Sellers and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be fulfilled and satisfied all of the conditions to Closing set forth in ARTICLE IX.


ARTICLE VII.


POST-CLOSING COVENANTS


Section 7.1.    Certain Contracts.  The Parties acknowledge that the Contracts listed on Schedule 7.2 (the “Non-Assignable Necessary Contracts”) are necessary to the research, development and commercialization of Products but not primarily related to Products. The Sellers therefore agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with the benefit of the Non-Assignable Necessary Contracts with respect to the Products in the Field including by (i) providing Purchaser with the benefit of each Non-Assignable Necessary Contract, including the right to enforce the Non-Assignable Necessary Contracts with respect to the Products, and acting at Purchaser’s request with respect to such Non-Assignable Necessary Contracts to the extent related to the Products and (ii) from and after the Closing until the [*] anniversary of the Closing, including, at Purchaser’s request and in Purchaser’s sole discretion, by assisting Purchaser in entering into direct agreements with the parties to the Non-Assignable Necessary Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers shall have no obligation to take or forbear from taking any action under or with respect to any Non-Assignable Necessary Contract that, in the Sellers’ reasonable discretion, is or could impair the Sellers’ rights under the Non-Assignable Necessary Contract or otherwise adversely affect either Seller or the performance of the Non-Assignable Necessary Contract.


Section 7.2.    Technical Assistance; Access.  Promptly following the Closing, the Sellers shall promptly transfer to Purchaser all materials, documents and electronic copies of all information, data, materials and Know-How contained within the Purchased Assets (in the English language if available); provided, however, that the Sellers may retain copies of such materials, documents, information and data for the purposes of performing their respective obligations hereunder and under the Ancillary Agreements and as reasonably necessary to comply with applicable Laws.  In addition, promptly following the Closing, the Sellers shall promptly transfer to Purchaser all materials, documents and electronic copies of all information, data, materials and Know-How contained within the Background IP. Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonable access (by teleconference or in person at Purchaser’s facilities) to all personnel involved in the research, development and manufacturing of the Products. If, after the Closing, access to materials, documents, information or data previously transferred to Purchaser hereunder is reasonably required by the Sellers or their Affiliates for regulatory compliance purposes or to otherwise comply with applicable Laws, Purchaser shall provide to the Sellers, promptly after either Seller’s written request, copies of or reasonable access to such materials, documents, information and data.


Section 7.3.    Non-Competition; Scope of the Non-Compete Field.


(a)    During the Restricted Period, neither Sellers nor any of their Affiliates (in the case of any Additional Indication, only to the extent any Person is an Affiliate at the time notice of the Additional 
30








Indication is delivered to Sellers pursuant to Section 7.3(b)) shall develop, manufacture or commercialize products on its own behalf, or knowingly provide development, manufacturing or commercialization services or supply of any products to any Third Party, or otherwise knowingly enable any Third Party to Exploit any product, for therapeutic indications of (i) Prader-Willi Syndrome (“PWS”), (ii) [*] or (iii) [*] (such indications, together with up to [*] Additional Indications added by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.3(b), the “Non-Compete Field”).


(b)    Purchaser shall have the right (but not the obligation) to add to the Non-Compete Field, by written notice to Sellers, [*] additional indications (the “Additional Indications”) in addition to those set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) in Section 7.3(a) (the “Addition of Indications”); provided that (i) [*], (ii) notice of the Addition of Indications is provided to the Sellers within [*] of the Closing Date, and (iii) with respect to such Additional Indications, the restrictions set forth in Section 7.3(a) shall apply solely with respect to [*].


(c)    In the event that Purchaser, its Affiliates and any applicable licensee or sublicensee of any of the foregoing ceases to actively Exploit a Product in any Additional Indication for a [*]-month period, or in the event that the Board of Directors of Purchaser determines to abandon the Exploitation of any Product for any other indications in the Non-Compete Field, Purchaser shall so notify Sellers promptly and such Additional Indication or other indication in the Non-Compete Field shall no longer be part of the Non-Compete Field; provided, however, that, in the case of an Additional Indication that has ceased to be a part of the Non-Compete Field pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) at any time during the first [*] period following the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right, within [*] of the Closing Date, to add a new Additional Indication in addition to the two Additional Indications provided for under Section 7.3(b) each time that any indication in the Non-Compete Field becomes an Abandoned Indication.


(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.3(a), neither the Sellers nor their Affiliates shall be restricted in any way with respect to (i) the Exploitation of Products for Additional Indications to the extent either Seller or any of their Affiliates commenced Development, manufacturing, commercialization or other activities with respect to such indications prior to receiving Purchaser’s notice of the Addition of Indications or (ii) providing development, manufacturing, commercialization or other services with respect to any Additional Indications to any customer in connection with any customer relationship that existed prior to receiving Purchaser’s notice of the Addition of Indications.


Section 7.4.    Covenant Not to Sue.


(a)    Except with respect to any enforcement of the terms of this Agreement, any Seller’s IP Rights that are not a Purchased Asset or are not licensed to Purchaser under this Agreement, or any Seller’s IP Rights arising pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, Sellers and their respective Affiliates individually and jointly hereby covenant and agree not, either alone or in cooperation with any Third Party, to sue or to bring any action or claim, including those for any type of infringement of any intellectual property rights, against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, distributors, salespersons, customers, licensees, or end-users to prevent, inhibit, financially affect or encumber in any manner any of the activities of any of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates related, in whole or in part, to the use, offer for sale, sale, import, Development, or commercialization of any Products.


(b)    Except with respect to any enforcement of the terms of this Agreement or any IP Rights that are a Purchased Asset, Purchaser and its Affiliates individually and jointly hereby covenant and agree not, either alone or in cooperation with any Third Party, to sue or to bring any action or claim, including those for any type of infringement of any intellectual property rights, against Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, distributors, salespersons, customers, licensees, or end-users to prevent, inhibit, financially affect or 
31








encumber in any manner any of the activities of any of Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates related, in whole or in part, to the use, offer for sale, sale, import, Development, or commercialization of any non-liquid products containing CBD outside the Field.


Section 7.5.    Records Retention; Access.  After the Closing Date, Purchaser shall retain all books and records included in the Purchased Assets for a period consistent with its current record retention policies and practices, but in no event less than [*] years.  Purchaser shall provide the Sellers and their representatives reasonable access to such books and records during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to enable the Sellers to (a) prepare financial statements or Tax Returns or to act with respect to audits by any Taxing Authority, (b) prosecute or defend Third Party claims or litigation and (c) take any other action reasonably related to this Agreement.  After the Closing Date, if Purchaser determines in good faith that such cooperation is reasonably necessary, Seller and its accountants shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and its accountants and auditors and provide to Purchaser and its accountants and auditors, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice, but without unreasonably disrupting its business, access to such information, books and records related to the Purchased Assets as Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the preparation by Purchaser of historical financial statements related to the Purchased Assets as may be required to be included in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, including Regulation S-X, to be reported on a current report on Form 8-K filed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and any other filing as may be required under applicable Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, such cooperation shall include: (a) where required, the signing of management representation letters as are required in connection with such audit and (b) as reasonably requested by Purchaser, access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice, but without unreasonably disrupting its business, to appropriate individuals with knowledge of the historical financial information related to the Purchased Assets to allow for preparation of such financial statements. Any information provided by Seller under this Section 7.5 shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 12.8. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with this Section 7.5. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any information it files with, or furnishes to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Section 7.6.    Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing, and for no further consideration, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver such assignments, transfers, consents, assumptions and other documents and instruments and take such other commercially reasonable actions as may reasonably be requested to more effectively assign, convey or transfer to or vest in Purchaser the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement to be transferred or assumed at the Closing (including transferring, at no additional cost to Purchaser, any Purchased Asset contemplated by this Agreement to be transferred to Purchaser at the Closing and that was not so transferred at the Closing).


ARTICLE VIII.


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; KNOW HOW TRANSFER


Section 8.1.    Patent Management Committee Framework.  Fresh Cut and Radius shall, within 10 Business Days after the Closing Date, establish a patent management team (the “Patent Management Committee”) that shall include two representatives of each such Party designated by that Party who have expertise and authority to address the management of the Assigned Patents and Background Patents (the “Managed Patents”).  Fresh Cut and Radius shall establish a protocol for the Patent Management Committee to determine the strategy for filing, prosecution, defense, maintenance and enforcement of the Managed Patents.  Each of Fresh Cut and Radius shall submit to the Patent Management Committee one or more proposed divisional or continuation patent applications related to the Managed Patents for review and a decision on filing, by the other Party with the advice of the Patent Management Committee, within 
32








[*] days after the Closing Date.  Each proposed divisional or continuation application shall be presented in good faith, be directed to a currently pending Managed Patent, and include a set of claims that are properly and sufficiently supported by the disclosure of the associated pending Managed Patent.  Purchaser shall submit to the Patent Management Committee one or more proposed divisional or continuation patent applications related to the Managed Patents and directed to the Product or the Field.  Fresh Cut shall submit to the Patent Management Committee one or more proposed divisional or continuation patent applications related to the Managed Patents and directed to any non-liquid formulation(s) of CBD.  The Parties and the Patent Management Committee shall engage in good faith discussions regarding the scope of the proposed divisional or continuation applications.  Either Party may reasonably object to the scope of any one or more proposed divisional or continuation applications submitted for review by the Patent Management Committee as not complying with the parameters set forth in this Section 8.1.  In the event of an objection raised by Fresh Cut to a proposed divisional or continuation application submitted by Purchaser related to the Managed Patents and directed to the Product, subject to the potential ability of Fresh Cut to pursue arbitration as set forth in Section 8.2, Purchaser shall have the final decision to proceed with the filing of such divisional or continuation application.  In the event of an objection raised by Purchaser to a proposed divisional or continuation application submitted by Fresh Cut related to the Managed Patents and directed to any non-liquid formulation(s) of CBD, subject to the potential ability of Purchaser to pursue arbitration as set forth in Section 8.2, Fresh Cut shall have the final decision to proceed with the filing of such divisional or continuation application.  For clarity, Sellers retain the right to file and seek IP Rights in any products and methods other than the Product.  In the event the Parties are in disagreement regarding whether a proposed divisional or continuation application is in compliance with the parameters set forth in this Section 8.1 and the Party objecting reasonably believes the non-filing of such divisional or continuation application will likely have a detrimental effect on the objecting Party, such Party may seek binding arbitration as set forth in Section 8.2.


    The Party filing any proposed divisional or continuation application pursuant to this Section 8.1 will pay all costs and fees incurred in the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense of such new divisional or continuation applications(s).
    Any such divisional or continuation application(s) filed by Purchaser in compliance with the terms of this Section 8.1 and directed to an Assigned Patent shall be and remain the property of Purchaser, subject to any rights and licenses granted herein to Sellers.  Any such divisional or continuation application(s) filed by Fresh Cut in compliance with the terms of this Section 8.1 and directed to an Assigned Patent shall be assigned by Purchaser to Fresh Cut (subject to any rights and licenses granted herein to Purchaser) at the time of filing such divisional or continuation application(s), or as soon as is reasonably practical thereafter, and Purchaser shall take steps to record such ownership with the relevant patent office or intellectual property office.  Purchaser agrees to sign all papers, and perform all acts, reasonably requested by Fresh Cut for the purposes of confirming ownership, securing, perfecting, asserting, assigning, transferring, recording, maintaining, registering, defending and enforcing Fresh Cut’s rights in such divisional or continuation applications.
Section 8.2.    Arbitration of Patent Disputes. In the event the Parties are in disagreement regarding the ability to file a proposed divisional or continuation application as set forth in Section 8.1, such dispute (a “Patent Dispute”) shall be finally, exclusively and conclusively settled by mandatory arbitration administered by the AAA in accordance with the Rules and as otherwise described in this Section 8.2.  The Patent Dispute shall be heard and determined by one independent arbitrator.  Upon written request by either Party to the other Party, the Parties shall promptly negotiate in good faith to appoint an appropriate arbitrator.  If the Parties have not selected a mutually acceptable arbitrator within [*] days after such written request, the AAA of New York, or such other similar entity as the Parties may otherwise agree, shall select an arbitrator with relevant industry experience within [*] days after either Party’s request.  The fees and costs of the arbitrator and the AAA shall be borne [*]% by Purchaser and [*]% by Fresh Cut.  Within [*] days after the designation of the arbitrator, the Parties shall each 
33








simultaneously submit to the arbitrator and one another a written statement of their respective positions on the Patent Dispute.  Each Party shall have [*] days from receipt of the other Party’s submission to submit a written response thereto.  The arbitrator shall have the right to meet with the Parties, either alone or together, as necessary to make a determination.  Further, the arbitrator shall have the right to request information and materials and to require and facilitate limited discovery as it shall determine is appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the needs of the Parties and the desirability of making discovery expeditious and cost-effective.  No later than [*] days after the Parties each submit their written statements to the arbitrator, or as otherwise agreed by the Parties, the arbitrator shall make a determination by selecting the resolution proposed by one of the Parties that as a whole is the most consistent with this Agreement and the most fair and reasonable to the Parties in light of the totality of the circumstances.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all Parties hereto, absent manifest error, and shall be rendered pursuant to a written decision setting forth the basis of the determination.


Section 8.3.    Unblocking Licenses.


(a)    Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Purchaser and its Affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license (with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers) under all Background IP to Exploit Products in the Field (the “Seller Unblocking License”).  The Seller Unblocking License shall attach to and run with such Background IP as covenants and shall be obligations of and binding upon any successors, heirs, purchasers, and assigns of Seller whether by law, equity, contract, or bankruptcy.


(b)    Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Seller and its Affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license (with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers) under all Assigned Patents to Exploit products outside the Field (the “Purchaser Unblocking License”).  The Purchaser Unblocking License shall attach to and run with such Patents as covenants and shall be obligations of and binding upon any successors, heirs, purchasers, and assigns of Seller whether by law, equity, contract, or bankruptcy.


Section 8.4.    Know How Transfer.  To enable Purchaser to Exploit the Products, Seller shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following Closing, deliver to Purchaser all books and records included in the Purchased Assets and all copies in all forms of Regulatory Materials, documents, files, diagrams, specifications, designs, schematics, reports, records, laboratory notebooks, data, materials, prototypes, test devices, models and simulations, or other written, electronic, graphic, biologic, or other tangible material in the possession or under the control of Seller or a Seller Affiliate in any media, to the extent it discloses or embodies Seller IP or Background IP licensed pursuant to Section 8.3 above.  Following the Closing Date, as reasonably requested by Purchaser from time to time, qualified personnel from Seller or a Seller Affiliate familiar with the books and records included within the Purchased Assets and the applicable Seller IP or Background IP will meet or participate in telephone conference calls with personnel from Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee at such times, and in the case of in-person meetings, at such venues, to be agreed upon by the Parties as reasonably necessary to exchange knowledge necessary to fully transfer all Seller IP and Background IP licensed pursuant to Section 8.2 at no additional cost to Purchaser.


Section 8.5.    Right of Reference.


(a)    Fresh Cut, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby grants to Purchaser a perpetual, irrevocable Right of Reference, with the right to sublicense or otherwise confer to any Third Party such Right of Reference (through multiple tiers), under the Existing API DMFs as may be necessary or reasonably useful in Purchaser seeking Regulatory Approval for, or otherwise Exploiting, Products in the Field. Purchaser’s Rights of Reference under all such Existing API DMFs shall attach to and run with 
34








such Existing API DMFs as covenants and shall be obligations of and binding upon any successors, heirs, purchasers, and assigns of Seller whether by law, equity, contract, or bankruptcy.


(b)    Subject to Section 7.3, Purchaser, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby grants to Fresh Cut a perpetual, irrevocable Right of Reference, without the right to sublicense or otherwise confer to any Third Party such Right of Reference unless Purchaser consents to such sublicensing or conferring (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) under the Future Product DMFs as may be reasonably useful in Fresh Cut or its Affiliates or licensees seeking Regulatory Approval for, or otherwise Exploiting, Products solely outside of the Field.  Fresh Cut’s Rights of Reference under all such Future Product DMFs shall attach to and run with such Future Product DMFs as covenants and shall be obligations of and binding upon any successors, heirs, purchasers, and assigns of Purchaser whether by law, equity, contract, or bankruptcy.


Section 8.6.    Insolvency.


(a)    Each Unblocking License is for all purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code a license of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code. Each Licensor agrees that each Licensee, as licensee of rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Licensor intends and agrees that any sale of Licensor’s assets under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be subject to Licensee’s rights under Section 365(n), that Licensor cannot be compelled to accept a money satisfaction of its interests in the intellectual property licensed pursuant to this Agreement, and that any such sale therefore may not be made to a purchaser “free and clear” of Licensee’s rights under this Agreement and Section 365(n) without the express, contemporaneous consent of Licensee. Each Licensor shall, during the term of this Agreement, create and maintain in accordance with its standard practices current copies or, if not amenable to copying, detailed descriptions or other appropriate embodiments, to the extent reasonably feasible, of all such intellectual property. Each Licensor and each Licensee acknowledge and agree that “embodiments” of intellectual property within the meaning of Section 365(n) include, without limitation, laboratory notebooks, product samples and inventory, research studies and data, Rights of Reference and regulatory approvals. If (i) a case under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced by or against Licensor, (ii) this Agreement is rejected as provided in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) Licensee elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, Licensor (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a trustee) shall:


(i)    provide to Licensee all such intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) held by Licensor and such successors and assigns, or otherwise available to them, promptly upon Licensee’s written request; and


(ii)    not interfere with Licensee’s rights under this Agreement, or any agreement supplemental hereto, to intellectual property (or such embodiments), including any right to obtain such intellectual property (or such embodiments) from another entity, to the extent provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.


(b)    Each Party agrees and acknowledges that all payments pursuant to Section 3.1(a), Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 do not constitute “royalties” within the meaning of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder.


(c)    All rights, powers and remedies of each Licensee provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Code) in the event of the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code 
35








with respect to Licensor. The Parties agree that they intend the following rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by law and contract, and to be enforceable under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(n):


(i)    the right of access to any intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) of Licensor covered by the applicable Unblocking License, or any Third Party with whom Seller contracts to perform an obligation of Seller under the Supply Agreement to the extent allowable under any agreement between Seller and such Third Party and to the extent covered by the Unblocking License, and, in the case of the Third Party, which is necessary for the manufacture, use, sale, import or export of products supplied by Seller to Purchaser; and


(ii)    the right to contract directly with any Third Party to complete the contracted work; provided, however, that the foregoing rights granted to Licensee in subsections (i) and (ii) shall be subject to the right of Licensor to perform under the Agreement pursuant to Section 365(n)(4)(A)(i) prior to the assumption or rejection of the Agreement.

become null and void, ab initio, except for the rights and obligations set forth in this ARTICLE X (Termination); Section 12.2 (Notices); Section 12.5 (Entire Agreement); Section 12.7 (Public Disclosure); Section 12.8 (Confidentiality; Return of Information); Section 12.10 (Fees Expenses); Section 12.11 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue and Service; Waiver of Jury Trial; Dispute Resolution) all applicable provisions of this Agreement as may be necessary solely to give effect to such surviving provisions; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement will relieve any Party from Liability for any intentional breach hereof.  
ARTICLE XI.


INDEMNIFICATION
Section 11.1    Survival.  Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the [*] anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in [*] shall survive until the [*] anniversary of the Closing Date; and provided, further, that the Fundamental Representations (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.7 (Intellectual Property) subsection (a), the first sentence of subsection (b) and the third sentence of subsection (c)) (together with any right to assert a claim in connection therewith) shall survive until [*].  None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching Party to the breaching Party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.
Section 11.2    Indemnification by the Sellers.  Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE XI, the Sellers, jointly and severally, agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all damages, losses,  Liabilities or other amounts payable to a Third Party claimant, as well as any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation (collectively, the “Losses”) incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Party to the extent arising from or relating to:
(a)    any fraud of the Sellers or any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by the Sellers in ARTICLE IV of this Agreement, or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(b) (in each case, as such representation or warranty would read if all qualifications as to materiality were deleted therefrom);


(b)    any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of the Sellers (including under this ARTICLE XI) in this Agreement; or


(c)    any Excluded Liability.
Section 11.3    Indemnification by Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their Affiliates and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns (a “Seller Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Seller Indemnified Party to the extent arising from or relating to:


38








(a)    any fraud of Purchaser or any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement, or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.2(b) (in each case, as such representation or warranty would read if all qualifications as to materiality were deleted therefrom); 


(b)    any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser (including under this ARTICLE XI) in this Agreement;


(c)    any Assumed Liability; or


(d)    the Exploitation of any Product by, on behalf of, or under the authority of, Purchaser or its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees.
Section 11.4    Notice of Claims.  If any Litigation (in equity or at law) is instituted by a Third Party (a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which any of the Persons to be indemnified under this ARTICLE XI (the “Indemnified Party”) intends to claim any Loss under this ARTICLE XI, or if an Indemnified Party otherwise desires to make a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE XI, the Indemnified Party shall provide written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”).  In the event of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver the Claims Notice to the Indemnifying Party as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 30 days) after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of the Third-Party Claim.  A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice of any Third-Party Claim or other claim for indemnification in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 11.4 shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE XI, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.  The Claim Notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim or other matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.
Section 11.5    Defense of Third-Party Claims.
(a)    The Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE XI shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party, 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, any Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party may compromise or settle the same; provided, 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 prior written 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).  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 control or conduct the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party nevertheless shall have the 
39








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.


(b)    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 11.6    Payment of Claims.  Any payment for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE XI shall be effected by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Purchaser Indemnified Party or the Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, within 10 Business Days after the final determination thereof.
Section 11.7    Certain Limitations.
(a)    Certain Limitations.  Neither the Sellers nor Purchaser shall be liable under the indemnification obligations set forth under Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as applicable, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as applicable, exceeds $[*] (the “Basket Amount”), in which event, subject to the other limitations set forth in this ARTICLE XI the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the full amount of all Losses and not only those in excess of the Basket Amount; provided, however, that this Section 11.7(a) shall not apply to Losses resulting from (i) fraud by the Sellers or Purchaser, (ii) breaches of any Fundamental Representations by Sellers, (iii) any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or (d) any Assumed Liability (in the case of any indemnification obligation by Purchaser) or any Excluded Liability (in the case of any indemnification obligation by Sellers).


(b)    The aggregate amount of Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may be indemnified pursuant to Section 11.2(a) shall not exceed $[*] (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Cap shall not apply to Losses resulting from (i) fraud by the Sellers or (ii) breaches of any Fundamental Representations by Sellers.  Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may be indemnified pursuant to Section 11.2 and the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Seller Indemnified Parties may be indemnified pursuant to Section 11.3 shall not, in either case, exceed [*].


(c)    The right to indemnification on account of any Losses will be reduced by (i) all insurance or other third party indemnification or contribution proceeds received or reasonably expected to be received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such Losses, less any related costs and expenses, including the aggregate cost of pursing any related insurance claims and any related increases in insurance premiums or other chargebacks, and (ii) any Tax benefits actually realized or reasonably expected to be realized by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with such Losses.


(d)    Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.


(e)    The Sellers shall not be liable under this ARTICLE XI for any Losses based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Sellers 
40








contained in this Agreement if Purchaser had knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing.
Section 11.8    Setoff.  With respect to any and all amounts payable by the Sellers in their capacity as an Indemnifying Party to a Purchaser Indemnified Party, Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole option and election, to set off and apply any and all payments to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties against any amount due under Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3 or Section 3.4.
Section 11.9    Exclusive Remedy.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims and Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by the Sellers or Purchaser in ARTICLE IV or ARTICLE V shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE XI; provided that nothing in this Section 11.9 shall limit the rights or remedies of, or constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies by, any Person under this Agreement based upon any claim of fraud.
ARTICLE XII.
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.1    Further Assurances and Post-Closing Covenants.  From time to time after the Closing, and for no further consideration, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver such assignments, transfers, consents, assumptions and other documents and instruments and take such other commercially reasonable actions as may reasonably be requested to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 12.3    Amendment; Waiver.  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed (a) in the case of an amendment, by Purchaser and the Sellers and (b) in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.  No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
Section 12.4    Assignment.  Neither Party may assign or transfer (whether by operation of law or otherwise) this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except that (a) a Party may make such an assignment, in whole or in part, upon written notice to the other Party but without the other Party’s consent to an Affiliate or to a successor to substantially all of the business to which this Agreement relates, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets, reorganization or other transaction, with Purchaser entitled to make such an assignment, in whole or in part, on a Product-by-Product, country-by-country basis and (b) the Sellers may assign their right to receive payments hereunder upon written notice to Purchaser but without Purchaser’s consent.  Any permitted successor or assignee of obligations hereunder will expressly assume performance of such obligations (and in any event, any Party assigning this Agreement to an Affiliate will remain bound by the terms and conditions hereof).  Any permitted assignment will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the successors of the assigning Party.  Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 12.4 will be null, void and of no legal effect.
Section 12.5    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Agreements, including for the avoidance of doubt the Seller Disclosure Schedules, contains the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, but excluding the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect for the term provided for therein.
42








Section 12.6    No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except to the extent provided for in ARTICLE XI (the provisions of which shall inure to the benefit of all Purchaser Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties), this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except to the extent provided for in ARTICLE XI, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Purchaser, the Sellers or their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 12.7    Public Disclosure.  Following the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser may issue a press release in substantially the form presented to and approved by Benuvia prior to the date hereof, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and except as provided in the foregoing sentence, each Party hereby agrees with the other Party that no press release or similar public announcement or communication shall, at any time, be made by it or caused to be made by it concerning the execution or performance of this Agreement unless it shall have consulted the other Party in advance with respect thereto and such other Party consents in writing to such release, announcement or communication, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, the provisions of this Section 12.7 shall not prohibit (i) any disclosure required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Laws (in which case such Party shall notify the other Party promptly and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other Party with a copy of the contemplated disclosure prior to submission or release, as the case may be) and (ii) any disclosure made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein.
Section 12.8    Confidentiality; Return of Information.
(a)    From and after the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement, to the extent it restricts disclosure or use of Purchased Assets or any Confidential Information included in the Purchased Assets by Purchaser, is hereby amended such that it ceases to do so.  


(b)    From and after the Closing, the Sellers shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep confidential and not use, (i) any Confidential Information and (ii) any information received from Purchaser or a designee in the context of Purchaser’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including all Know-How included in the Seller IP, and the Sellers shall be deemed to be the recipient of all information described in clauses (i) and (ii).


(c)    The recipient of Confidential Information shall be under no obligation with respect to any information which: (i) at the time of disclosure is available to the public; or (ii) after disclosure becomes available to the public through no fault of the recipient, provided that the obligation of the recipient shall cease only after the date on which such information has become available to the public; or (iii) the recipient can demonstrate through tangible evidence was in its possession before receipt from the disclosing party; or (iv) is disclosed to the recipient without restriction on disclosure by a Third Party who has the lawful right to disclose such information.


Section 12.9    Equitable Relief.  The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or is otherwise breached.  Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the other Party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity.  Each Party hereby waives (i) any requirement that the non-breaching Party post a bond or other security 
43








as a condition for obtaining any such relief and (ii) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate.
Section 12.10    Fees and Expenses.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Closing takes place, all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs, fees and expenses.
Section 12.11    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue and Service; Waiver of Jury Trial; Dispute Resolution.
(a)    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of Law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.


(b)    Jurisdiction.  The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) related thereto except in such courts.  The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive their right to a jury trial.


(c)    Venue.  The Parties further hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the courts of the State of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.


(d)    Service.  Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to its address set forth in Section 12.2 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought against it under this Agreement in any such court.


(e)    Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each of the Parties irrevocably waives its right to a jury trial in connection with any action, proceeding or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


(f)    Mandatory Mediation and Arbitration.


(i)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof, that are not resolved by mutual agreement of the Parties first shall be submitted to a mandatory, non-binding mediation proceeding (“Mandatory Mediation”) held in Boston, Massachusetts, which Mandatory Mediation shall be conducted before a single mediator selected by Purchaser.  The Parties covenant and agree that they will submit to and participate in such Mandatory Mediation in good faith prior to instituting arbitration pursuant to Section 12.11(f)(ii) with respect to any indemnification claim or other legal proceeding against any other Party. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, all costs of the Mandatory Mediation shall be shared equally by the Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other.  
44








The “costs of the Mandatory Mediation” shall mean solely those fees and costs charged for the mediation proceeding and/or by the mediator.


(ii)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event of any controversy between the Parties hereto arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, including any controversy concerning the negotiation, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and any dispute as to whether a particular controversy is subject to arbitration, but excluding any Patent Dispute (which shall be resolved as set forth in Section 8.2), which cannot be settled amicably by the Parties, such controversy or dispute shall be finally, exclusively and conclusively settled by mandatory arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”); provided that (A) notwithstanding the foregoing each Party hereto shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order and any other emergency injunctive relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction, restraining another Party from committing or continuing any violation of the provisions hereof until such time as the controversy is adjudicated in arbitration, and each Party waives any defense that a remedy at law would be adequate in any action or proceeding for specific performance or injunctive relief; and (B) monetary damages for any breach of this Agreement shall be determined pursuant to this Section 12.11(f).  The controversy or dispute shall heard and determined by one independent arbitrator approved by the Sellers and Purchaser; provided that if the Parties have not selected an arbitrator within 30 days after the demand for arbitration is filed with the AAA, the arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the Rules.  Either the Sellers or Purchaser may institute such arbitration proceeding by filing the required documents with the AAA and giving written notice to the other Party.  A hearing shall be held by the arbitrator within 30 days of his or her appointment either remotely or at a location in Boston, Massachusetts that is mutually acceptable to the Parties.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all Parties hereto and shall be rendered pursuant to a written decision that contains a detailed recital of the arbitrator’s legal reasoning.  Such written decision shall remain confidential among the Parties hereto, and the arbitrator may issue orders to protect the confidentiality of the proprietary information, trade secrets and other confidential information of the parties hereto.  The prevailing party in any controversy or dispute shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs relating thereto, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, administrative fees of the AAA and compensation and expenses of the arbitrator.  Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.
Section 12.12    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and by the Parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by e-mail of a .pdf attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 12.13    Headings.  The heading references herein and the table of contents hereto are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
Section 12.14    Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
