Claims.



     6.8 Insurance Claims. After the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with
Seller’s insurers in processing all claims arising with respect to acts, omissions, or occurrences

waivers. Pending such authorization, approval, consent or waiver, the parties shall cooperate with
each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Buyer the benefits and

conveyed and delivered, such Purchased Asset to Buyer for no additional consideration. To the
extent that any such Purchased Asset cannot be transferred or the full benefits and liabilities of

Section 6.9, then Buyer and Seller shall enter into such arrangements (including subleasing or
subcontracting if permitted) designed to provide to Buyer the economic and operational equivalent
of obtaining such authorization, approval, consent or waiver and the performance by Buyer of the
obligations thereunder to the extent permitted by Law.




     6.10 Covenant Not to Compete.



          6.10.1 For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, each of Seller and Dan Myers

any other Person, (a) develop, sell, distribute, market or service any over-the-counter
ophthamological product similar to (including trademark and trade dress; substantially similar
copyright) or that competes with or could compete with any of the Products (the “Competitive
Activity”), or (b) directly or indirectly (i) hold or invest in any equity (or debt convertible
into equity) of, or (ii) manage, operate or control, any Person that engages in any Competitive
Activity; provided, however, that each of Seller, such Affiliates and Dan Myers, may directly or
indirectly own up to five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding securities of any publicly
held corporation; and, further provided, that this Section 6.10.1 shall not apply to any third
party acquirer of all or substantially all of Seller’s business assets or stock in an arms’ length
transaction.




          6.10.2 In the event Seller, any Seller Affiliate or Dan Myers breaches, or threatens to commit

have the following rights and remedies, which shall be independent of any others and severally
enforceable, and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies
available to Buyer at law or in equity: (a) the right and remedy to seek to enjoin the breaching
party from violating or threatening to violate the Restrictive Covenants and to have the
Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed
that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to
Buyer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer; and (b) the right and
remedy to seek to require the breaching party to account for and pay over to Buyer all
compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by such
party as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED




          6.10.3 Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid in
geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects. If any court determines that any of the
Restrictive Covenants or any part thereof, are invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the
Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard
to the invalid portions. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any
part thereof, are unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, such
court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be,
and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable.




          6.10.4 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive
Covenants upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive
Covenants. If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive Covenants
unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the
parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect Buyer’s right to the relief
provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such
Restrictive Covenants, as to breaches of such Restrictive Covenants in such other respective
jurisdictions, such Restrictive Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this
purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.




     6.11 License of Know-How Not Exclusively Related to the Products. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a non-exclusive, assignable,
royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense, to use its proprietary
rights in the Know-How not exclusively related to the Products to the extent that such Know-How is
necessary for Buyer’s manufacture, marketing or sale of the Products (including research and
development related to improvements thereon) and for no other purpose. In connection with the
license of the Know-How not exclusively related to the Products granted pursuant to this Section
6.11, Buyer shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its personnel and agents
to, (a) hold such Know-How in strict confidence, (b) not disclose such Know-How to any Person
without the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (c) use
such Know-How only as expressly contemplated or permitted by the license granted in the first
sentence of this Section 6.11.



     6.12 Supplements. From time to time prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall
supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedule to correct inaccuracies therein or to reflect matters
arising after the date hereof, which if existing or occurring at the date hereof, would have been
required to be set forth or described on the Disclosure Schedule; provided, that no interim
supplements or amendments shall be required with respect to changes contemplated by this Agreement
(or in the Disclosure Schedules delivered on the date hereof) or to correct inaccuracies of a
technical or ministerial nature. No such supplement or amendment shall (i) have any effect for the
purposes of determining the satisfaction of conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII or (ii)
relieve the Seller of liability or diminish any right or remedies of Buyer with respect to any
breach of representation or warranty made or deemed to be made to Buyer herein or in the Disclosure
Schedule or in any document or certificate delivered pursuant hereto prior to the date of such
supplement or amendment; provided, that if the Closing occurs, the representations and warranties
which are made or deemed to have been made as of the Closing Date shall be deemed to incorporate
the supplemental and amended Disclosure Schedule, so that

misrepresentation or breach of warranty of Seller, (b) the failure of Seller to perform any of its
covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, (c) the failure by Seller to satisfy any
liability or obligation which is an Excluded Liability, (d) the failure of Seller or its Affiliates

provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer
Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a) with respect to any Loss and Litigation Expense
incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties until the amount of Loss and Litigation Expense suffered
by the Buyer Indemnified Parties related to each individual Claim exceeds Twenty Thousand Dollars

Confidential Information or recover damages as contemplated by Section 6.4, and Buyer does not
promptly pay all Litigation Expenses associated with such action (or provide other assurance
reasonably acceptable to Seller that such payment will be made) or (y) does not request Seller to
bring such action, and (ii) Seller’s liability shall not extend to any Litigation Expense incurred
by Buyer that is associated with such action against Seller’s personnel, agents or consultants. In
the event that amounts are owed to Buyer in connection with any Claims for Losses or Litigation

not the obligation) to offset the amount of such Claims against the Post-Closing Consideration (as
defined in the Alaway Agreement).

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED



may suffer or incur as a result of or arising from any of the following: (a) any misrepresentation

contained in this Agreement, (c) the failure by Buyer to satisfy any liability or obligation which

amount of Loss and Litigation Expense suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties related to each
individual Claim exceeds the Minimum Claim Amount; provided, further, however, that the aggregate
amount that Buyer shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties
pursuant to Section 9.3(a) with respect to all Loss and Litigation Expense incurred by all Seller
Indemnified Parties shall not exceed the Cap; provided further, however, that the Cap shall not
apply with respect to any Loss and Litigation Expense resulting from a breach of any Buyer
Fundamental Representation or from fraud or intentional misrepresentation of Buyer and the Minimum
Claim Amount shall not apply with respect to any Loss and Litigation Expense resulting from fraud
or intentional misrepresentation of Buyer.




     9.4 Procedure. Promptly after acquiring knowledge of any Loss, or any action, suit,
investigation, proceeding, demand, assessment, audit, judgment, or claim (“Claim”) which may result
in a Loss, and prior to the Expiration Date, the Person seeking indemnity under this Article IX
(the “Indemnitee”) shall give written notice thereof to the party from whom indemnification is
sought (the “Indemnitor”). The Indemnitor shall have the right, at its expense, to defend, contest
or compromise such Claim, through counsel of its choice (unless such Indemnitor is relieved of its
liability hereunder with respect to such Claim and Loss and Litigation Expense by the Indemnitee)
and shall not then be liable for fees or expenses of the Indemnitee’s attorneys (unless the
Indemnitor and Indemnitee are parties to the action and there exists a conflict of interest between
the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee, in which event the Indemnitor will be responsible for the
reasonable fees and expenses of one firm), and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall provide to
each other all necessary and reasonable cooperation in the defense of all Claims. In the event
that the Indemnitor shall undertake to compromise or defend any Claim, it shall promptly notify the
Indemnitee of its intention to do so. If the Indemnitor, after written notice from Indemnitee, (a)
fails within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Indemnitee (i) of its
intent to defend against such Loss or Claim and (ii) that it irrevocably acknowledge its obligation
to indemnify the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement for such Loss or Claim, or (b) after
providing such notice fails to defend, contest, or otherwise protect against such Loss or Claim, or
(c) after commencing to defend, contest or otherwise protect against such Loss or Claim fails to
diligently continue to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same, then in any such case
the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend the same by counsel of its own choosing, but at the
cost and expense of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor provides the Indemnitee with the notice
contemplated by this Section 9.4(a)(i) and (ii), then the Indemnitor may settle or compromise the
entry of any judgment (x) which includes the unconditional release by the Person asserting the
Claim and any related claimants of Indemnitee from all liability with respect to such Claim in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, and (y) which would not adversely affect the
right of Indemnitee and its Affiliates to own, hold use and operate their respective assets and
businesses.

     9.5 No Subrogation. Subject to Section 2.7.2, if any payment is made by or Claim asserted
against Seller under the terms of this Article IX, none of Seller Indemnified Parties shall have
any rights against the Purchased Assets, whether by reason of contribution, indemnification or
otherwise and shall not take any action against the Purchased Assets with respect thereto. Except
as set forth in Section 2.7.2, any rights which Seller Indemnified Parties may have, by operation
of law or otherwise against the Purchased Assets are, effective on the Closing Date, hereby
expressly and knowingly waived.



     9.6 Sole Remedy. The indemnification provided for in this Article IX shall be the

may be, with respect to any Loss and Litigation Expense for which indemnification is owed pursuant
to this Article IX.



ARTICLE X




TERMINATION

be abandoned at any time before completion of the Closing:



          10.1.1 by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller;




          10.1.2 by Seller if Buyer breaches any of its respective representations, covenants or
agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach would give rise to the failure of a condition
set forth in Section 7.2.1, and such breach shall not have been cured or eliminated (or by its
nature cannot be cured or eliminated) by Buyer on or before September 1, 2007 (the “Extended
Closing Date”), provided that Seller is not then in material breach of any applicable provision of
this Agreement;




          10.1.3 subject to Section 10.2, by Buyer, (a) if Seller breaches any of its respective
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach
would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1.1 and such breach shall not
have been cured or eliminated (or by its nature cannot be cured or eliminated) by Seller on or
before the Extended Closing Date provided that Buyer is not then in material breach of any
applicable provision of this Agreement, or (b) upon the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change; or




          10.1.4 by Seller upon the happening of an occurrence or event which, individually or in the
aggregate, has resulted in or which Seller reasonably believes will result in a Material Adverse
Change that cannot or will not be cured by the Extended Closing Date, provided, that Seller shall
have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1.4 if such occurrence or
event is the result of a breach of this Agreement by Seller or Buyer has irrevocably waived its
right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1.3 with respect to such Material Adverse
Change within fifteen (15) business days of receiving notice of the happening of such occurrence or
event; or

     10.2 Governmental Consents. In the event any permit, consent, approval or
authorization of, or designation, declaration of filing with, any Governmental Entity on the part
of Seller (each, a “Governmental Consent”) is required in connection with the Closing of the
Transactions as a result of the enactment of a new Law (or modification to an existing Law) after
the date hereof, and as of the Closing Date such Governmental Consent has not been obtained but is
reasonably expected to be received within a timeframe acceptable to Buyer and Seller, Buyer and
Seller agree to engage in good faith negotiations to modify the terms of this Agreement to
accommodate a later Closing Date so that such Governmental Consent may be obtained prior to or as
of such later Closing Date.



     10.3 Effect of Termination.



          10.3.1 If this Agreement is terminated and the Transactions are not consummated as provided in
Section 10.1 by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, written notice thereof shall
be given to the other party specifying the provision of Section 10.1 pursuant to which such
termination is made, and this Agreement shall be terminated and become void and of no further force
or effect and there shall be no liability hereunder on the part of Buyer or Seller, except that the
provisions of Section 6.3 (Public Announcements), Section 6.4 (Confidentiality), Section 10.1
(Optional Termination), this Section 10.3 (Effect of Termination), Section 11.3 (Expenses), Section
11.7 (Governing Law) and Section 11.9 (Submission to Jurisdiction) shall survive any termination of
this Agreement.




          10.3.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10.3, nothing in
this Section 10.3 shall relieve any party of liability for any breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement.




          10.3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10.3, if this
Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to 10.1.3(b) because Soothe® Net Sales are less than the
Minimum Net Sales Target, but the Technical Transfer has been completed on or prior to the date of
the termination notice from Buyer to Seller, then Buyer shall enter into a supply agreement with
Seller providing (a) for a purchase price of [*] of Soothe® sample inventory during the first
twelve (12) month period of such supply agreement and [*] of Soothe® sample inventory thereafter,
and [*] of Soothe® trade inventory during the first twelve (12) month period of such supply
agreement and [*] of Soothe® trade inventory thereafter, (b) that such agreement may be assigned by
Seller to a credit-worthy Affiliate of Seller or other third party to which Soothe® has been
transferred (provided, however, if Buyer, in good faith, makes a reasonable determination that such
Affiliate or third party is not credit worthy, then Seller shall guaranty the payment and
performance of such Affiliate or third party, as applicable, under the supply agreement as a
condition precedent to the assignment), and (c) for such other terms and conditions as shall be
agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.
