and Records or other information provided pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to be confidential information for purposes of the Confidentiality Agreement or any subsequent agreement concerning confidentiality which Purchaser may
reasonably request in connection with the inspection or copying of such materials.

 6.5 Transfer of Product Regulatory Filings. For the period from the Closing
Date through one year thereafter, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in disclosing and copying any relevant records and reports which are required to be made, maintained and reported pursuant to Governmental Rules in the Territory. The parties
agree to use their reasonable efforts to take any other actions required by the FDA or other regulatory agencies to effect the transactions contemplated hereby. On the Closing Date, each of the parties hereto shall take any actions necessary to
effect the transfer of the INDs included in the Product Regulatory Filings from Seller to Purchaser, including notices to the FDA regarding such transfer from Seller to Purchaser. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, all costs related
to the transfer and subsequent prosecution of any such INDs or other regulatory filings (including trademark filings) shall be borne by Purchaser. 
 6.6 Further Action; Consents; Filings. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each of Seller and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain from
the requisite Governmental Entities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained or made in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
(ii) make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other advisable submissions, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement required under any applicable Governmental Rules. The parties hereto shall
cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings, including by providing copies of all such non-confidential documents to the other party hereto and its advisors prior to filing and, if requested, by accepting all
reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith. Seller and Purchaser each shall furnish all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to the rules and regulations of any applicable
Governmental Rules in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 6.7 Royalty and Net Sales
Reports, Payments. 
 (a) No later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter for which a
royalty payment is due under Section 4.3(a), Purchaser shall report to Seller the Net Sales of the Product in the United States in the previous calendar quarter, and the royalty due thereon, including a complete and detailed accounting of its
gross sales and deductions thereto made to arrive at Net Sales in sufficient detail (including but not limited to discounts, product returns, allowances, rebates, fees; and of units sold, samples distributed, and units disposed of other than by
sale) to enable Seller to confirm the amounts due under this Agreement. 
 (b) Each such quarterly report shall be accompanied
by payment of the royalty, and if applicable, any Milestone Payment under Sections 3.3 (d), (e), (f) and (g), due. Each payment shall be in U.S. Dollars. Payment shall be made via wire transfer to a bank designated by Seller. Purchaser shall
keep true and accurate books of account and shall keep and maintain all records and documents necessary for Seller to ascertain the royalties and Milestone Payments due under this Agreement for a period of three (3) years after the underlying
sales were made. 
 (c) In the event of a late payment, Purchaser shall pay to Seller interest calculated on a daily basis on
the overdue payment from the date such payment was due to the date such payment is received by Seller at a rate of 1.0% per calendar month. 
 (d) If taxes, assessments, fees or other charges are required to be withheld from payments to Seller, Purchaser shall make such payments to the applicable Taxing authority as


  
 13 









 
required to fulfill such requirement and pay to Seller the net amount of the Royalties due. Receipts, if available, for all such withholdings shall be provided to Seller. Purchaser shall be
responsible for establishing its right to claim any exemption to such charges or to its withholding, shall keep Seller advised in writing of the basis and status of all such exemption claims, and shall be liable for any penalty, interest or other
assessment against Seller for failing to pay or withhold such charges in reliance on any such exemption claim. 
 (e) Upon the
provision of reasonable notice, Seller shall have the right, exercisable only once with respect to any given quarterly period during the Royalty Term, to designate a firm of certified public accountants to inspect Purchaser’s books of account,
records, documents and instruments for each quarterly period in the previous three calendar years, and to make copies thereof, at any time during Purchaser’s regular business hours, to ascertain the accuracy of any report under
Section 6.7(a) above. The auditing party shall be required to sign a confidentiality agreement for the benefit of Purchaser, and the results of such audit shall be made available to both Seller and Purchaser. The expense of such audit shall be
Seller’s unless the audit shall demonstrate a discrepancy greater than five percent (5%) between Royalties reported and paid and those which were actually due, in which event the reasonable expenses of audit shall be borne by Purchaser.
Regardless of the amount, absent manifest error, all discrepancies, whether in the form of an underpayment by Purchaser, or an overpayment to Seller, shall be due and payable from either Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, to the other party within
thirty (30) days from the date the independent accounting firm notifies both parties in writing of any discrepancy, such notice to include conclusions in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. 

6.8 Assignment of Payment Obligations. In the event Seller or any of its Affiliates proposes to sell, assign or otherwise
transfer to any third party any right to receive any Royalty Payments, Milestone Payments or other payments hereunder (the “Payment Rights”) other than to a successor of the relevant portion of Seller’s business by reason of merger,
sale of all or substantially all of Seller’s assets or any similar transaction, Seller shall first offer, or cause its applicable Affiliate to offer, to Buyer the opportunity to make a proposal to acquire such Payment Rights. Such offer shall
be made in writing and shall describe the Payment Rights proposed to be sold (the “Offer”). Within fifteen (15) business days following Buyer’s receipt of the Offer, Buyer may elect to submit a proposal to acquire such Payment
Rights, which proposal shall be in writing and shall identify the Payment Rights to be acquired and the price to be paid for such Payment Rights as well as other material terms necessary to allow Seller to make an informed decision as to whether to
proceed to negotiations with Buyer regarding Buyer’s proposal. Seller shall negotiate with Buyer in good faith toward a definitive agreement in respect of such Payment Rights for a period of sixty (60) days. Failure by Buyer to give
written notice of its interest in negotiating for the Payment Rights within fifteen (15) business days after its receipt of the Offer from Seller shall be deemed a waiver by Buyer of its right to submit a proposal with respect to the particular
Payment Rights described in the Offer, but not with respect to any other remaining Payment Rights not described in the Offer. 
  

	 	7.	INDEMNIFICATION 

 7.1
Survival. All representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser contained herein or made pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing Date for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date (except for
Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.1 and 5.2, which shall survive until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or, if no applicable statute of limitations, indefinitely). The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this
Agreement 

  
 14 









 
shall survive and remain in full force for the applicable periods described therein or, if no such period is specified, indefinitely. Any right of indemnification pursuant to this Article 7
with respect to a claimed breach of a (i) representation or warranty shall expire at the date of termination of the representation or warranty claimed to be breached, and (ii) covenant shall expire twenty-four (24) months after the
date of termination of the covenant claimed to be breached, unless in both cases on or prior to such date the party from whom indemnification is sought shall have received notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.6 hereof. By way
of clarification, there shall be no time limit, other than the applicable statute of limitations, for indemnification claims brought by Seller arising from any Assumed Liability and by Purchaser arising from any Excluded Liability. The provisions of
this Section 7.1 shall survive for so long as any other Section of this Agreement shall survive. 
 7.2
Indemnification by Seller. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) against, and agrees to
hold them harmless from, any Loss to the extent such Loss arises from or in connection with the following: 
 (i) any breach by
Seller of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; 
 (ii) any breach by Seller of any of its covenants
contained in this Agreement; or 
 (iii) any Excluded Liability. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifications in favor of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties contained in this Section 7.2: (A) shall not be effective until the aggregate dollar amount of
all Losses indemnified against under this Section 7.2 exceeds two percent (2%) of the amount actually paid under Article 3 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event Seller shall be liable for all Losses including the Threshold
Amount; and (B) shall terminate once the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses indemnified against under this Section 7.2 aggregates fifty percent (50%) of the amount actually paid under Article 3 (the “Cap Amount”) and
Seller shall thereafter have no further obligations or liabilities with respect to any of such Losses referred to in this Section 7.2; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations on Seller’s indemnification obligations pursuant to
this Section 7.2 shall not apply to any indemnification by Seller for any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or any Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Purchaser
Indemnified Parties resulting from any Excluded Liability. 
 7.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser hereby
agrees to indemnify Seller and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against, and agrees to hold them harmless from, any Loss to the extent such Loss arises from or in
connection with the following: 
 (i) any breach by Purchaser of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement;

 (ii) any breach by Purchaser of any covenant contained in this Agreement; or 

(iii) any Assumed Liability. 

  
 15 









 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifications in favor of the Seller Indemnified Parties contained in
this Section 7.3: (A) shall not be effective until the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses indemnified against under this Section 7.2 exceeds the Threshold Amount, in which event Purchaser shall be liable for all Losses including
the Threshold Amount; and (B) shall terminate once the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses indemnified against under this Section 7.3 aggregates the Cap Amount and Purchaser shall thereafter have no further obligations or liabilities
with respect to any of such Losses referred to in this Section 7.3; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations on Purchaser’s indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall not apply to any indemnification by
Seller for any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2 or any Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties resulting from any Assumed Liability. 

7.4 Exclusive Remedy. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the indemnification provided in this Article 7
shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for all Losses related to or arising at law, under any statute or in equity, or otherwise out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than claims of or causes of action arising from
fraud and other than actions for specific performance). In furtherance thereof, each of Purchaser and Seller waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims, actions or causes of
action (other than claims or causes of action arising from fraud and other than actions for specific performance) it may have against the other or its Affiliates relating to the subject matter of this Agreement other than the remedies provided in
this Article 7. 
 7.5 Losses Net of Insurance; Limitations. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification
is provided under this Article 7 shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss, after giving effect to any premium adjustments related to such Loss, provided that an
Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to seek recovery under any insurance policies prior to seeking recovery from the Indemnifying Party. In no event shall any party be liable to any other party, whether for breach of contract, in tort or
otherwise, for incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages, such as losses of revenues or profits, except to the extent that such damages are asserted and recovered by a Third Party. 

7.6 Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any party (a) pursuant to
Sections 7.2(i) (solely with respect to representations and warranties other than Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4), 7.2(ii), 7.3(i) and 7.3(ii) shall terminate as set forth in Section 7.1 above, and (b) pursuant to the other
clauses of Sections 7.2 and 7.3 shall not terminate. 
 7.7 Procedure. 

(a) In order for an indemnified party under this Article 7 (an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification
provided for under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall, promptly following the discovery of the matters giving rise to any Loss, notify the indemnifying party under this Article 7 (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of its
claim for indemnification for such Loss, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such Loss and the amount of the liability estimated to accrue therefrom; provided, however, that failure to give such prompt notification shall not affect the
indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the 

  
 16 









 
Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the
Indemnified Party failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such request, all information and documentation
reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Loss. 
 (b) If the indemnification sought pursuant hereto
involves a claim made by a third party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense of
such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own
expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the
Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If
the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request)
the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any
material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may
recommend and which by its terms (i) obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, (ii) includes a full release in favor of the Indemnified Party with respect to the
Third Party Claim, does not include any admission of liability and contains reasonable provisions maintaining the confidentiality of the settlement, compromise or discharge, and (iii) does not impair the rights of the Indemnified Party. Whether
or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying
Party’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
