Without limiting the provisions of ‎Section 6.2‎(a), to the extent that either Buyer or Seller discovers any assets or properties, including any Intellectual Property, which is an Excluded Asset which was inadvertently or otherwise mistakenly transferred or assigned to Buyer, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate and execute and deliver any instruments of transfer or assignment reasonably necessary to transfer and assign such asset or property back to the applicable Seller.


 


Section 6.3   Access; Enforcement; Record Retention.  From and after the Closing, upon request by Buyer, Seller will permit Buyer and its Representatives to have reasonable access during normal business hours, and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the normal business operations of Seller, to all premises, properties, management, personnel, accountants, attorneys, other advisors and books and records (including books and records related to Taxes paid or payable by Seller) and Contracts of or related to the MYO-T12 Activities, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that, for avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not require Seller to take any such action if it (a) may result in a waiver or breach of any attorney/client privilege, (b) could reasonably be expected to result in violation of applicable law, or (c) providing such access or information would be reasonably expected to be disruptive to its operations.  Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, such reasonable access may be for the purposes of (i) preparing Tax Returns, (ii) monitoring or enforcing rights or obligations of Buyer under this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements, or (iii) complying with the requirements of any Governmental Authority.  Seller agrees to maintain the files or records which are contemplated by the first sentence of this ‎Section 6.3 in a manner consistent in all material respects with its document retention and destruction policies, as in effect from time to time, for seven years  following the Closing.


 


Section 6.4   Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation of Employees.


 


(a) For period of five years from the date of this Agreement, Seller shall not, directly  engage in, be employed by, own,  manage, operate, control, participate in the ownership,  management, operation or control of,  provide financing to, or otherwise participate in (whether as a  member, manager, director, officer, employee, representative, subcontractor, partner, consultant, proprietor, or agent, any other business or any Person for the purpose of assisting in such other business or Person in the development of: (i) any myostatin modulating, regulatory or inhibiting products,  (ii) any fertile egg-based products; and/or (iii) any follistatin-based products; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent any of Seller or its Affiliates from owning, in the aggregate, not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests in any Person, so long as Seller and its Affiliates have no participation in the management or operation of, and perform no services for, such Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.4(a) shall not restrict Seller from engaging in any business (other than the MYO-T12 Activities and activities in connection with the Acquired Assets) in which it is engaged as of the date hereof.


 




  





25











  






 


(b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that its breach of this Section 6.4 would result in irreparable harm to Buyer for which Buyer’s remedies at law would be inadequate.  Seller therefore agrees and consents that temporary and permanent injunctive relief may be granted to Buyer in a proceeding brought to enforce this Section 6.4, and Seller will not claim as a defense thereto that Buyer has an adequate remedy at law.  Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) it will materially benefit from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the agreement of Seller to the covenants in this Section 6.4 is a material inducement by Seller to persuade Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Buyer would not have otherwise done so if Seller did not agree to such covenants, and (iii) the Seller is agreeing to the covenants of this Section 6.4 freely, voluntarily, and without duress or coercion.


 


(c) If a court of competent jurisdiction declares in a final judgment that any term or provision of this ‎Section 6.4 is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.


 


Section 6.5   Tax Matters.  Buyer shall pay any stamp, documentary, registration, use, transfer, sales, added-value or other non-income Tax (a “Transfer Tax”) imposed under applicable law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.  Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to prepare and timely file any Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes described in the immediately preceding sentence.


 


Section 6.6   Insurance Matters.  Buyer acknowledges that, upon Closing, all insurance coverage provided in relation to Seller and the MYO-T12 Activities that is maintained by Seller or its Affiliates (whether such policies are maintained with third party insurers or with Seller or its Affiliates) shall cease to provide any coverage to Buyer in connection with the MYO-T12 Activities and no further coverage shall be available to Buyer in connection with the MYO-T12 Activities under any such policies.  Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall limit or restrict Buyer’s right to insurance claims Seller may have under insurance policies with respect to the MYO-T12 Activities or relating to the conduct, operation, ownership and/or use of the Acquired Assets arising before or on the Closing Date and which are included in the Acquired Assets.  Pursuant to Schedule 6.6. of the Disclosure Schedules, nothing in the foregoing paragraph shall prohibit Seller from maintaining appropriate insurance to cover any Excluded Liabilities.


 


Section 6.7   Press Releases and Public Announcements.  No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the existence or subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party; provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly-traded securities (in which case the disclosing Party will use its reasonable best efforts to advise the other Party prior to making the disclosure to the extent practicable and permissible under applicable law); and provided, further, that each of the Parties may make internal announcements to their respective employees that are not inconsistent in any material respects with the Parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.8   [omitted]


 


Section 6.9   Financial Statements. Until such time as the Note is paid in full, Buyer shall send a copy of its annual financial statements to the Seller.


 


Section 6.10   [omitted]


 


Section 6.11   Registration Rights.


 


(a) Registration Rights. If Atlas at any time proposes to file a registration statement to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with respect to registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or another form not available for registering the Shares (“Registrable Securities”), provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Seller pursuant to an effective registration statement or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act in which case they shall be deemed to no longer be Registrable Securities, each such time Atlas will give at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice to the record holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the holder, received by Atlas within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by Atlas, to register any of the Registrable Securities not previously registered as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, Atlas will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by Atlas, all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered by the holder of such Registrable Securities (the “Holder” or “Holders”).  In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock of Atlas, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent that Atlas and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by Atlas therein; provided, however, that Atlas shall notify the Holder in writing of any such reduction and reasons therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Atlas may withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any registration statement referred to in this Section 6.11 without thereby incurring any liability to the Holder due to such withdrawal or delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Securities and Exchange Commission limits the amount of Registrable Securities that may be sold by selling security holders in a particular Registration Statement, Atlas may scale back (i.e. remove) from such registration statement such number of Registrable Securities on behalf of all selling security holders who have exercised similar registration rights on a pro-rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such selling security holder.


 


(b) Expenses.  Atlas will pay all expenses incurred by it in complying with Section 6.11, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and disbursements of Atlas’ counsel and independent public accountants and fees and expenses incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws. In no event shall Atlas be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or any legal fees or other costs of any Holder.


 




  





27











  






 


(c) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless Atlas, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls Atlas (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred by Atlas arising out of or based solely upon: (i) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact provided by Holder contained in any registration statement under which the Registrable Securities were registered, any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary or final prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(f) each delivery contemplated by ‎Section 2.5(b) to be delivered to Seller shall have been delivered.


 


Section 7.3   No Frustration of Closing Conditions.  Neither Buyer, Atlas or Seller may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in ‎Section 7.1 or ‎Section 7.2 to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such Party’s or its Affiliates’ failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to satisfying the conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other breach of a representation, warranty or covenant hereunder.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right at any time to assume the defense against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and control the defense of such Third Party Claim so long as the Indemnifying Party conducts such defense in a reasonably diligent manner.
