Seller shall deliver instructions to all Licensees and account debtors (the “Instruction to Payors”) with respect to proceeds arising from sales of Included Product by Seller in the United States (which instruction shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and identify each Purchaser as having a right to a receive a portion of such amounts, and a copy of which shall be delivered to the Purchaser promptly following delivery to such Licensee or account debtor) to remit all proceeds payable to Seller in respect of accounts and royalty receivables arising out of sales of Included Product in the United States to the Collection Account; provided that the proceeds of Governmental Receivables arising out of sales of Included Products in the United States may instead be remitted to one or more other U.S.-based accounts, not subject to any liens (other than any banker’s lien under Applicable Law) accounts so long as such accounts are subject to daily sweeps to the Collection Account.  To the extent any such proceeds are paid directly to the Seller, Seller shall remit to the Collection Account all such amounts within [*] Business Days of receipt of any such funds.  All proceeds and other funds deposited into the Collection Account shall be verified and reconciled by the Servicer and any verified and reconciled funds shall be swept to the Disbursement Account.  Funds in the Disbursement Account shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 3.3.

(b)All fees, expenses and charges owing to the Depositary Bank pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Agreement shall be [*], and shall be paid to the Depositary Bank from the Disbursement Account prior to transfer of any amounts from the Disbursement Account to either the Purchaser Account or the Seller Account, by debiting such fee, expense or charge from the Disbursement Account.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall have the right from time to time to select a replacement Depositary Bank and establish a replacement Collection Account and a replacement Disbursement Account provided that such replacement Depositary Bank entered into a Deposit Agreement with respect to such replacement accounts and Seller instructs as required pursuant to Section 3.2(a) to Licensees and account debtors to

make payments to such new accounts.   For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to the “Deposit Agreement,” “Collection Account” or “Disbursement Account” shall refer to such replacement Deposit Agreement, Collection Account, Disbursement Account or Depositary Bank, as the context requires.

Section 3.3Payment Mechanics and Disbursement Account Management.

(a)Amounts in the Disbursement Account may be disbursed to the Seller Account [*] (or such other longer period as the Parties may mutually agree in writing) (such period, the “Sweep Period”) in an amount for any day equal to the amounts deposited on such day multiplied by the Sweep Percentage (as defined below).  The Seller shall provide the Depositary Bank notice no more frequently than [*] of such amount to be disbursed to the Seller Account pursuant to this Section 3.3.  On or prior to each Quarterly Payment Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a written reconciliation of the amount deposited in the Disbursement Account on each day of the applicable Calendar Quarter and its calculation of the Sweep Percentage.

(b)Prior to the ROW First Sale Date, the “Sweep Percentage” shall be equal to the following:

[*]

No later than [*] prior to the expected date of the First Commercial Sale of the Included Product outside the United States (the “ROW First Sale Date”), the Parties shall mutually agree upon a good faith estimate of the ratio of Net Sales of Included Product outside the United States (the “ROW Net Sales”) to Net Sales of Included Product within the United States (the “ROW Fraction”).  If the Parties are unable to agree upon an estimate of such ROW Fraction, then for the [*] following the ROW First Sale Date, the applicable ROW Fraction shall be deemed to be the average of the ROW Fractions proposed in good faith by each Party, which proposal shall reflect such Party’s commercially reasonable performance expectations for the Included Product during such period.  For each Calendar Quarter thereafter, the ROW Fraction shall be revised and shall equal the ratio of ROW Net Sales to Net Sales of Included Product within the United States for the most recently preceding Calendar Quarter for which Net Sales have been reported.  In addition, the ROW Fraction may be revised annually pursuant to Section 3.3(c).  Following the ROW First Sale Date, during each Sweep Period, the “Sweep Percentage” shall be calculated as follows:

[*] 

(c)It is the intent of the Parties that the ROW Fraction should reasonably represent the actual distribution of Net Sales in the U.S and the ROW.  Accordingly, at least annually, the Parties agree to discuss in good faith whether adjustments should be made to the ROW Fraction and the Sweep Percentage on the basis of actual Net Sales in the Territory during the [*].

(d)During the Payment Term, no later than each Quarterly Payment Date, the Seller shall provide to Purchaser the reports relating to Net Sales of Included Product and calculation of the Purchased Receivables required under Section 3.5.  

(e)During the Payment Term, on each Quarterly Payment Date, and in the following order:

(i)The Seller shall instruct the Depositary Bank to disburse to the Purchaser Account an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the funds on deposit in the Disbursement Account, and (B) the Purchased Receivables for the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter; and

(ii)If the amount disbursed to the Purchaser Account pursuant to Section 3.3(e)(i) above is less than the Purchased Receivables to which Purchaser is entitled for the relevant Calendar Quarter, the Seller shall cause the Depositary Bank to disburse such amount pursuant to Section 3.3(e)(i) until such disbursements equal the amount of such shortfall.

(iii)The Seller shall thereafter be entitled to instruct the Depositary Bank to disburse to the Seller Account an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the funds on deposit in the Disbursement Account as of the end of the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter, and (B) an amount equal to the amount deposited in the Disbursement Account during the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter, minus the amounts disbursed for such Calendar Quarter pursuant to Section 3.3(e)(i) and (ii) above, minus any amounts disbursed to the Seller Account during such Calendar Quarter. 

(f)Upon any disbursement of any funds from the Disbursement Account to the Seller Account, any security interest hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents granted in the Seller’s’ right, title and interest in, to and under such funds shall be automatically released and terminated.

(g)All Purchased Receivables required to be paid and not paid to the Purchaser within the time period set forth in Section 3.3(e), shall bear interest at a rate of [*] from the due date until paid in full or, if less, the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law.  Any such overdue payment shall, when made, be accompanied by, and credited first to, all interest so accrued. 

(h)If Applicable Law requires withholding of income or other taxes imposed upon any payments made by the Seller to the Purchaser under this Agreement, the Seller shall (i) make such withholding payments as may be required, (ii) subtract, or instruct the Depositary Bank to subtract, such withholding payments from such payments, (iii) submit appropriate proof of payment of the withholding taxes to the Purchaser within a reasonable period of time, and (iv) promptly provide the Purchaser with all official receipts with respect thereto.  Such withheld and remitted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Purchaser (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for the purpose of calculating the amounts

payable pursuant to Section 3.3(e)(ii)).  Any amounts subtracted from payments pursuant to this Section 3.3(h) shall be disbursed to the Seller for the purpose of making the applicable withholding payments.  The Seller shall render the Purchaser reasonable assistance in order to allow the Purchaser to obtain the benefit of any present or future treaty against double taxation, which may apply to such payments.

Section 3.4Mode of Payment/Currency Exchange.  All payments made by a Party hereunder shall be made by deposit of U.S. Dollars by wire transfer in immediately available funds into the applicable account.  With respect to sales outside the U.S., for the purpose of calculating Net Sales for the purposes of determining the Purchased Receivables payable under Section 3.1, Net Sales shall be calculated in the currency of sale, and then such amounts shall be converted into U.S. Dollars at the monthly rate of exchange utilized by the Seller, in accordance with GAAP, fairly applied and as employed on a consistent basis throughout the Seller’s operations.  Should the Seller change its foreign currency translation methodology, the new methodology will be disclosed in writing to the Purchaser prior to its implementation.  For clarity, to the extent that the Seller receives a payment from a Third Party in U.S. Dollars on which Purchased Receivables are payable to Purchaser under Section 3.1, the foregoing currency exchange rates shall not apply to such amount, and in particular the Seller will have no obligation to re-calculate any currency conversion that was employed in connection with such Third Party payment.

Section 3.5Included Product Payment Reports and Records Retention.  On or prior to each Quarterly Payment Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a written report of the amount of gross sales of the Included Product in each country in which Net Sales occurred during the applicable Calendar Quarter, an itemized calculation of Net Sales on a country-by-country basis, including for any Non-Patent Right Country, and a calculation of the amount of the Purchased Receivables due under Section 3.1(a) in respect of the applicable Calendar Quarter, showing the Applicable Tiered Percentage (or if applicable, the Licensee Net Sales Percentage) applied thereto.  For [*] after each sale of the Included Product made by the Seller or any of its Affiliates, the Seller shall keep (and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall keep) complete and accurate records of such sale in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of the applicable Purchased Receivables paid pursuant to Section 3.1(a).  Seller shall include in each contract of Seller related to the Commercialization of an Included Product entered into on or after the Closing Date, an acknowledgement and consent to the obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section 3.5 and provide that the counterparty to such contract shall furnish to the Seller all information necessary for the Seller to comply with this Section 3.5 and calculate the Purchased Receivables that are payable as set forth in this Agreement. 

Section 3.6Audits.

(a)Upon the written request of the Purchaser, and not more than [*], the Seller shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of national prominence selected by the Purchaser, and reasonably acceptable to the Seller, to have access to and to review, during normal business hours and upon not less than [*] prior written notice, the relevant documents and records of the Seller and its Affiliates (to the extent in the possession of the Seller) as may

reasonably be necessary to verify the accuracy and timeliness of the reports and payments (including calculation and payment of any Purchased Receivables) made by the Seller under this Agreement.  Such review may cover the records for sales of the Included Product and payments of Purchased Receivables and any payments into the Collection Account in any Calendar Year ending no earlier than [*].  The accounting firm shall be permitted to prepare and disclose to the Purchaser a written report stating only [*].    

(b)If such accounting firm reasonably concludes that any Purchased Receivables were owed and were not paid when due during such period pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Seller shall pay any late or unpaid Purchased Receivables within [*] after the date the Purchaser delivers to the Seller a notice including the accounting firm's written report and requesting such payment. If the amount of the underpayment is greater than the lesser of (i) [*] of the total amount actually owed for the period audited or (ii) [*], then the Seller shall in addition reimburse the Purchaser for all reasonable costs and fees of the accounting firm related to such audit; otherwise, the Purchaser shall pay all costs of the audit. In the event of overpayment, any amount of such overpayment shall be fully creditable against Purchased Receivables payable for the immediately succeeding Calendar Quarter(s). The Purchaser shall (i) treat all information that it receives under this Section 3.6 or under any license agreement of the Seller in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII and (ii) cause its accounting firm to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with the Seller obligating such firm to retain all such information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement, in each case except to the extent necessary for the Purchaser to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

Section 3.7Transaction Expenses.  Within [*] following the execution date of this Agreement, and whether or not the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall invoice the Seller for its reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including legal fees and expenses, and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Purchaser’s conduct of its due diligence with respect to such transactions).  [*]

Article VI
COVENANTS

The Parties hereto covenant and agree as follows: 

Section 6.1True Sale. The Purchaser and the Seller intend and agree that the sale, conveyance, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Receivables shall constitute a true sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of the Purchased Receivables that is absolute and irrevocable and that provides the Purchaser with the full benefits and detriments of beneficial ownership of the Purchased Receivables, and neither the Purchaser nor the Seller intends the transactions contemplated hereunder to be a financing transaction, borrowing or a loan from the Purchaser to the Seller.  The Seller disclaims any beneficial ownership interest in the Purchased Receivables upon execution of this Agreement and each of the Seller and the Purchaser waives any right to contest or otherwise assert that this Agreement is other than a true, absolute and irrevocable sale and assignment by the Seller to the Purchaser of the Purchased Receivables under Applicable Law, which waiver will be enforceable against the applicable Party in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding relating to such Party.  The Seller authorizes and consents to the Purchaser filing, including with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, one or more UCC financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) or other instruments and notices, in such manner and in such jurisdictions as in the Purchaser’s determination may be necessary or appropriate to evidence the purchase, acquisition and acceptance by the Purchaser of the Purchased Receivables hereunder and to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Purchaser’s ownership in the Purchased Receivables and the security interest in the Purchased Receivables granted by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2; provided that the Purchaser will provide the Seller with a reasonable opportunity to review any such financing statements (or similar documents) prior to filing and the collateral identified in any such financing shall be limited to a legally sufficient description of the “Collateral” as defined herein and proceeds and products thereof.  For greater certainty, the Purchaser will not file this Agreement in connection with the filing of any such financing statements (or similar documents) but may file a summary or memorandum of this Agreement if required under Applicable Laws providing for such filing. For sake of clarification, the foregoing statements in this Section 6.1 shall not bind either Party regarding the reporting of the transactions contemplated hereby for GAAP or SEC reporting purposes. 

Section 6.2Collateral Matters.

(a)Precautionary Security Interest in Purchased Receivables. Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.1, in an abundance of caution to address the possibility that, notwithstanding that the Seller and the Purchaser expressly intend and expect for the sale, conveyance, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Receivables hereunder to be a true and absolute sale and assignment for all purposes, to protect the interests of the Purchaser in the event that such sale and assignment is recharacterized as something other than  a true sale or such sale will for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable as such, as determined in a judicial, administrative or other proceeding (any of the foregoing being a “Recharacterization”), the Seller does hereby grant to the Purchaser, a continuing security interest of first priority in all of the

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

 

Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Receivables, whether now or hereafter existing, and any and all “proceeds” thereof (as such term is defined in the UCC), in each case, for the benefit of the Purchaser as security for the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to Purchase Amount  together with the performance when due of all of the Seller’s obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, which security interest will, upon the filing of a duly prepared financing statement in the appropriate filing office and to the extent the Purchased Receivables constitute an asset and not an obligation of the Seller, be perfected and prior to all other Liens thereon, other than Permitted Liens, to the extent that such security interest in the Collateral can be perfected under the UCC by the filing of financing statement in such filing office.  In the event of a Recharacterization, the Purchaser will have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies will be cumulative.  The Parties intend that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement in respect of such security interest.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Recharacterization in any one jurisdiction shall not constitute a Recharacterization, or otherwise impact the characterization of the Purchased Receivables in any other jurisdiction.

(b)Security Interest in Additional Collateral.  Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser Representative a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Additional Collateral, for the benefit of the Purchaser as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of the obligations of Seller hereunder in respect of the Purchased Receivables owing to the Purchaser, which security interest will, upon execution of the Deposit Agreement, be perfected and prior to all other Liens thereon (other than Permitted Liens).  The Purchaser Representative agrees that it shall not send an “activation notice” (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) or otherwise assert exclusive control over the Collection Account or the Disbursement Account until after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event or the breach by Seller of the Transaction Documents, which (if curable) shall remain uncured for a period in excess of 2 days after notice thereof is provided by the Purchaser.

Section 6.3Update Meetings. During the Payment Term, but subject to Section 9.4, until the date upon which Seller has paid to the Purchaser an amount in Purchased Receivables equal to the Purchase Amount, the Purchaser shall be entitled to a [*] update call or meeting, as follows: at the Purchaser’s request, members of the senior management team of each Party shall meet up to (a) until each of the Approval Conditions and the Manufacturing Approval Condition have been satisfied, [*] in each Calendar Year and (b) after each of the Approval Conditions and the Manufacturing Approval Condition have been satisfied, [*] in each Calendar Year (in each case, which may be in-person at the Seller’s headquarters, or via teleconference or videoconference) in order for the Seller to review with the Purchaser the [*] Net Sales for the preceding [*] and the related reports delivered by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.5 and to discuss the status and the historical and potential performance of the Included Product and any regulatory developments.  Seller shall also provide to Purchaser no later than [*] days prior to such update meetings, a list of the Key Commercial Contracts entered into, amended, modified, restated, supplemented, cancelled, terminated or waived during the preceding [*], or any Key Commercial Contracts then in progress or under negotiation, including the identity of the Key

Commercial Contract Counterparty, and shall provide Purchaser with reasonably requested information relating to the purpose and content of such Key Commercial Contracts and reasons for any of the foregoing events relating thereto.  Any information disclosed by either Party during such update meetings or calls or provided to the Purchaser pursuant to its request shall be considered “Confidential Information” of the disclosing Party subject to the terms of Article VIII. 

Section 6.4Notices.

(a)To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, promptly after receipt by the Seller of notice of any action, suit, claim, demand, dispute, investigation, arbitration or other proceeding (commenced or threatened) relating to the Included Product, the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document, or to the Purchased Receivables, the Seller shall (i) inform the Purchaser in writing of the receipt of such notice and the substance thereof and (ii) if such notice is in writing, furnish the Purchaser with a copy of such notice and any related materials with respect thereto, and if such notice is not in writing, furnish to the Purchaser a written summary describing in reasonable detail the contents thereof.

(b)To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, promptly following receipt by the Seller of any written notice, claim or demand challenging the legality, validity, enforceability or ownership of any of the Patent Rights or pursuant to which any Third Party commences or threatens any action, suit or other proceeding against the Seller and relating to the Included Product, the Seller shall (i) inform the Purchaser in writing of such receipt and (ii) furnish the Purchaser with a copy of such notice, claim or demand, or if such notice is not in writing, furnish to the Purchaser a written summary describing in reasonable detail the contents thereof.

(c)Seller shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) provide Purchaser with copies of any material information, reports and notices if the contents of such information, report or notice could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with prompt written notice after the Seller has Knowledge of any of the following: (i) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of the Seller or any Material Contract Counterparty; (ii) any material breach or default by the Seller of or under any covenant, agreement or other provision of any Transaction Document; (iii) any representation or warranty made by the Seller in any of the Transaction Documents or in any certificate delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall prove to be untrue, inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect on the date as of which made; or (iv) any change, effect, event, occurrence, state of facts, development or condition that would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(e)The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing not less than 10 days prior to any change in, or amendment or alteration of, the Seller’s (i) legal name, (ii) form of legal entity or (iii) jurisdiction of organization.

Section 6.5Public Announcement.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, one or both of the Parties shall issue a mutually agreed to press release substantially in the applicable form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  Except as required by Applicable Law (including disclosure requirements of the SEC, the NASDAQ Global Market or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party or its Affiliates are traded), neither Party shall make any other public announcement concerning this Agreement or the subject matter hereof without the prior written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  In the event of a required public announcement, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, the Party making such announcement shall provide the other Party with a copy of the proposed text of such announcement sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release to afford such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text.

(b) The Parties shall coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the filing of this Agreement (including proposed redaction of certain provisions of this Agreement) with the SEC, the NASDAQ Global Market or any other stock exchange or Governmental Authority on which securities issued by a Party or its Affiliate are traded, and each Party shall use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for the terms of this Agreement proposed to be redacted, if any; provided that each Party shall ultimately retain control over what information to disclose to the SEC, the NASDAQ Global Market or any other stock exchange or Governmental Authority, as the case may be, and provided further that the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to file redacted versions with any Governmental Authorities which are consistent with redacted versions previously filed with any other Governmental Authorities.  Other than such obligation, neither Party (nor its Affiliates) shall be obligated to consult with or obtain approval from the other Party with respect to any filings to the SEC, the NASDAQ Global Market or any other stock exchange or Governmental Authority.  For clarity, once a public announcement or other disclosure is made by a Party in accordance with this Section 6.5, then no further consent or compliance with this Section 6.5 shall be required for any substantially similar disclosure thereafter.

Section 6.6Further Assurances.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party hereto will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, as may be reasonably requested by the other Party, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary under Applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including to (i) perfect the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and granting of the Purchased Receivables to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) perfect, protect, more fully evidence, vest and maintain in the Purchaser good, valid and marketable rights and interests in and to the Purchased Receivables free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted by the Transaction Documents), (iii) create, evidence and perfect the back-up security interest granted to the Purchaser Representative pursuant to Section 6.2 and (iv) enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of the Purchaser’s rights under any Transaction Document, including following the Closing Date.

(b)The Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate and provide assistance as reasonably requested by the other Party hereto, at the expense of such other Party hereto (except as otherwise set forth herein), in connection with any litigation, arbitration, investigation or other proceeding (whether threatened, existing, initiated or contemplated prior to, on or after the date hereof) to which the other Party hereto, any of its Affiliates or controlling persons or any of their respective officers, directors, equityholders, controlling persons, managers, agents or employees is or may become a party or is or may become otherwise directly or indirectly affected or as to which any such Persons have a direct or indirect interest, in each case relating to any Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the Purchased Receivables but in all cases excluding any litigation brought by the Seller (for itself or on behalf of any Seller Indemnified Party) against the Purchaser or brought by the Purchaser (for itself or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnified Party) against the Seller.

(c)The Seller shall comply with all Applicable Laws with respect to the Transaction Documents and the Purchased Receivables except where any non-compliance would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)The Seller shall not enter into any contract, agreement or other legally binding arrangement (whether written or oral), or grant any right to any other Person, in any case that would reasonably be expected to conflict with the Transaction Documents or serve or operate to limit or circumscribe any of the Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents (or the Purchaser’s ability to exercise any such rights) or create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien, upon or with respect to the Purchased Receivables or the Additional Collateral (other than Permitted Liens), or agree to do or suffer to exist any of the foregoing; provided that Seller shall be permitted to incur Indebtedness, including Permitted Debt, in connection with which Seller may grant to the Permitted Debt Creditors a first priority security lien in Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under, the Collateral and the proceeds thereof, in each case, other than to the extent of the Purchased Receivables (provided that any proceeds released to Purchaser from the Disbursement Account shall be free and clear of any such security interest) and Purchaser and the Purchaser Representative shall enter into a reasonably acceptable intercreditor agreement or similar agreement with any Permitted Debt Creditor, so long as the terms of such Indebtedness and any intercreditor agreement do not prohibit, or purport to subordinate, any payments under the Transaction Documents in respect of the Purchased Receivables (it being agreed that an intercreditor agreement incorporating the terms set forth on Exhibit C shall be deemed reasonably acceptable) and, if requested by Seller or any Permitted Debt Creditor (or agent or representative thereof), Purchaser Representative shall enter into an amended or replacement Deposit Agreement that extends perfection in the Collection Account and the Disbursement Account to the Permitted Debt Creditor, which may be through “control” by the Purchaser Representative over the Additional Collateral for purposes of Section 9-104 of the UCC or other method of control for such purposes reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Representative.  Seller shall obtain and maintain any required consents, approvals, acknowledgements, certificates or waivers so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document may be consummated and shall not result in any default or breach or termination of any agreement to which it is party.

(e)Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, neither Seller nor any Subsidiary of Seller shall take any act or fail to take any act that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to an Included Product, the Purchased Receivables or Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents.   

Section 6.7Patent Rights. The Seller shall (a) take any and all actions, and prepare, execute, deliver and file any and all agreements, documents and instruments, that are reasonably necessary or desirable to preserve diligently and maintain the Patent Rights, including payment of maintenance fees or annuities, at the sole expense of the Seller and (b) diligently defend (and enforce) the Patent Rights against infringement or interference by any other Person, and against any claims of invalidity or unenforceability, in any jurisdiction (including by bringing any legal action for infringement or defending any counterclaim of invalidity or action of a Third Party for declaratory judgment of non-infringement or non-interference) , (c) diligently defend against any claim or action by any other Person that the manufacture, use, marketing, sale, offer for sale, importation or distribution of the Included Product as currently contemplated infringes on any patent or other intellectual property rights of any other Person or constitutes misappropriation of any other Person’s trade secrets or other intellectual property rights, and (d) when available in respect of the Included Product and where applicable obtain patent listing in the FDA Electronic Orange Book or apply for similar data exclusivity where available in other countries in which Net Sales of Included Product occur, in each case of (a) through (d), except where failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Parties agree that this Agreement does not, and they do not intend this Agreement to, create a contractual partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. [*]  The Purchaser understands that, consistent with the qualified cost sharing arrangement, the Seller and the foreign affiliate intend to enter into an agreement, contemporaneously with the Seller entering into this Purchase and Sale Agreement, that will obligate the foreign affiliate to make payments to the Seller equal to the amount of the Included Product Payment Amount resulting from Net Sales that occur outside the United States.

(b)The Parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 6.8 on any tax return or in any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding unless (i) the other Party hereto has consented to such actions or (ii) the Party hereto that contemplates taking such an inconsistent position has been advised by nationally recognized tax counsel in writing that there is no “reasonable basis” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6662-3(b)(3)) for the position specified in this Section 6.8.  If there is an inquiry by any Governmental Authority of the Seller or the Purchaser related to this Section 6.8, the Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in responding to such inquiry in a reasonable manner consistent with this Section 6.8.

Section 6.9Existence.  The Seller shall (a) preserve and maintain its existence, (b) preserve and maintain its rights, franchises and privileges unless failure to do any of the foregoing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, (c) qualify and remain qualified in good standing in each jurisdiction where the failure to preserve and maintain such qualifications would result in a Material Adverse Effect, including appointing and employing such agents or attorneys in each jurisdiction where it shall be necessary to take action under this Agreement, and (d) comply with its organizational documents (provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.9 shall prohibit the Seller from entering into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation with, or selling or otherwise transferring all or substantially all of its assets or all or substantially of its assets related to the Included Product to, any other Person in a transaction that complies with Section 10.4).

(d)To the extent (i) Seller sells or otherwise disposes of its right, title and/or interest in and to the Included Product to a Third Party, either on a worldwide or jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis, and the terms of such sale or disposition does not include the payment of royalties to Seller in respect of Net Sales in an amount equal to or greater than the Applicable Tiered Percentage or (ii) otherwise enters into any agreement, arrangement or understanding pursuant to which a Third Party is entitled to the Exploitation or Commercialization of the

Included Product, but such agreement, arrangement or understanding does not include the payment of royalties in respect of Net Sales to Seller in an amount equal to or greater than the Applicable Tiered Percentage, then Seller shall cause such Third Party to (A) instruct all Licensees of such Third Party and account debtors (which instruction shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and identify Purchaser as having a right to a receive a portion of such amounts, and a copy of which shall be delivered to the Purchaser promptly following delivery to such Licensee or account debtor) to remit all proceeds payable to such Third Party in respect of accounts and royalty receivables arising out of sales of Included Product in the United States to the Collection Account to be disbursed in accordance with Section 3.2 and 3.3 (as if such Third Party were the Seller for purposes thereof), in each case, in a manner that preserves Purchaser’s right to receive the Applicable Tiered Percentage of Net Sales and (B) be bound by the terms of this Section 6.11(d); provided that this Section 6.11(d) shall not apply to any sale, disposal, agreement arrangement or understanding pursuant to which no proceeds are payable.

Article IX
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1Indemnification by the Seller.  The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Purchaser and its Affiliates and any and all of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against, and will pay to each Purchaser Indemnified Party the amount of, any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by such Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Seller in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by the Seller to the Purchaser in writing pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (b) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document, (c) any Excluded Liabilities and Obligations and (d) any fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or other amounts incurred or owed by the Seller to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Purchaser Indemnified Party (i) that results from the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Purchaser Indemnified Party, or (ii) to the extent resulting from acts or omissions of the Seller based upon the written instructions from any Purchaser Indemnified Party.  With respect to indemnification by the Seller pursuant to this Section 9.1, (A) the Seller’s maximum liability shall not exceed an amount equal to (1) one hundred and ninety five percent (195%) of the Purchase Amount, minus (2) the aggregate amount collected or received by the Purchaser (and any direct or indirect transferee of the Purchaser to whom any interest in the Purchased Receivables is transferred) in respect of the Purchased Receivables, minus (3) the aggregate amount collected or received by the Purchaser (and any direct or indirect transferee of the Purchaser to whom any interest in the Purchased Receivables is transferred) pursuant to the exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1 (without duplication of any amounts received pursuant to clause (2)); provided, however, that such limitations on recovery shall not be applicable if the Seller’s indemnification obligations results from or arises out of the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Seller. 

Section 9.2Indemnification by the Purchaser.   The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Seller and its Affiliates and any and all of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees, agents and controlling Persons (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against, and will pay to each Seller Indemnified Party the amount of, any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by such Seller Indemnified Party arising out of (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Purchaser in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by the Purchaser in writing pursuant hereto or thereto, (b) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document and (c) any fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or other amounts incurred or owed by the Purchaser to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Seller Indemnified Party (i) that results from the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Seller Indemnified Party, (ii) to the extent resulting from acts or omissions of

the Purchaser based upon the written instructions from any Seller Indemnified Party or (iii) for any matter in respect of which any Purchaser Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.1.

Section 9.3Procedures.  If any Third Party Claim shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such Third Party Claim, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any; provided, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 unless, and only to the extent that, the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such omission.  In the event that any Third Party Claim is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in accordance with this Section 9.3, the indemnifying party will be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, be liable to such indemnified party under this Article IX for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  In any such Third Party Claim, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole cost and expense of such indemnified party unless (a) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (b) the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (c) the named parties to any such Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of counsel to the indemnifying party.  It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any Third Party Claim or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Third Party Claim effected without its written consent, but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or discharge of any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge, as the case may be, (i) includes an unconditional written release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party,

from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding, (ii) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (iii) does not impose any continuing material obligation or restrictions on such indemnified party.

Section 9.4Other Claims.  A claim by an indemnified party under this Article IX for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim and in respect of which such indemnified party seeks indemnification hereunder may be made by delivering, in good faith, a written notice of demand to the indemnifying party, which notice shall contain (a) a description and the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered or reasonably expected to be incurred or suffered by the indemnified party, (b) a statement that the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Article IX for such Losses and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (c) a demand for payment in the amount of such Losses.  For all purposes of this Section 9.4, the Seller shall be entitled to deliver such notice of demand to the Purchaser on behalf of the Seller Indemnified Parties, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to deliver such notice of demand to the Seller on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties. Within thirty (30) days after receipt by the indemnifying party of any such notice, the indemnifying party may deliver to the indemnified party that delivered the notice a written response in which the indemnifying party (a) agrees that the indemnified party is entitled to the full amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party; (b) agrees that the indemnified party is entitled to part, but not all, of the amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party; or (c) indicates that the indemnifying party disputes the entire amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party.  If the indemnified party does not receive such a response from the indemnifying party within such thirty (30)-day period, then the indemnifying party shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the indemnified party is entitled to the full amount.  If the indemnifying party and the indemnified party are unable to resolve any dispute relating to any amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the response to such notice from the indemnifying party, then the parties shall be entitled to resort to any legal remedy available to such party to resolve such dispute that is provided for in this Agreement, subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement.

Section 9.5Exclusive Remedy.  Except for any claims for specific performance pursuant to Section 10.2, the indemnification afforded by this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties against the Seller, and the Seller Indemnified Parties against the Purchaser, as the case may be, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by a party hereto in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by a party hereto in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by a party hereto pursuant to any Transaction Document, in each case other than any breach or default resulting from the fraud or willful misconduct of such party, provided that any action, suit or proceeding brought with respect to any such claim shall be subject to the monetary limitation on recovery by indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1 (in the aggregate with any

other amounts that are subtracted from the Purchase Amount in determining the monetary limitation on recovery by  indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1).

Section 9.6Limitations.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, other than the representations and warranties of the Seller specifically contained in Article IV, there are no representations or warranties of the Seller or any other Person either expressed or implied with respect to the Included Product Payment Amounts, Net Sales, the Patent Rights, the Purchased Receivables, the Included Product, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or in any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise, and that it does not rely on, and shall have no remedies in respect of, any representation or warranty not specifically set forth in Article IV.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Purchaser, together with its Affiliates and their respective representatives, have made their own investigation of the Included Product Payment Amounts, Net Sales, the Patent Rights, the Purchased Receivables, the Included Product, the creditworthiness of the Seller and its Affiliates, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Transaction Documents and are not relying on, and shall have no remedies in respect of, any implied warranties or upon any representation or warranty whatsoever (other than any representation or warranty specifically set forth in Article IV), and (ii) except as expressly set forth in any representation or warranty in Article IV, the Purchaser shall have no claim or right regarding Losses pursuant to this Article IX (or otherwise) with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished or made available to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates’ representatives in any data room, presentation, interview or in any other form or manner relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents.  

Article X
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1Survival.  All representations, warranties and covenants made herein and in any other Transaction Document or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing.  The rights hereunder to indemnification and payment of Losses under Article IX or to seek specific performance under Section 10.2 based on such representations, warranties and covenants shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time (whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing) in respect of the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty or covenant.

Section 10.2Specific Performance.  Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges that the other Party hereto will have no adequate remedy at law if the other Party fails to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.

FORM OF PRESS RELEASE

Portola Pharmaceuticals Signs $150 Million Royalty Agreement with HealthCare Royalty Partners for Development and Commercialization of Andexanet Alfa

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Feb. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc.®(Nasdaq:PTLA) today announced that it has signed a $150 million royalty agreement with HealthCare Royalty Partners (HCR). Under the terms of the agreement, Portola received $50 million at closing and may receive an additional $100 million upon U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of AndexXaTM (andexanet alfa) in exchange for a tiered, mid-single-digit royalty based on worldwide sales of the agent. The agreement is subject to a maximum total royalty payment of 195 percent of the $150 million funded by HCR, at which time the agreement would expire.

“We are looking forward to partnering with HCR on this financing, which will provide us with capital to fund our operations in a non-dilutive manner and successfully launch this potentially life-saving agent for the benefit of tens of thousands of patients,” said Bill Lis, chief executive officer of Portola.

“We are very pleased to partner with Portola to help fund the development and commercialization of andexanet alfa. Once approved, it will be the first antidote available for the increasing number of patients admitted to the hospital with a major bleeding episode who currently have no options to reverse the effect of anticoagulation,” said Dr. Warren Cooper, chief medical officer and managing director at HCR.

Clarke Futch, managing partner and chairman of HCR’s Investment Committee added, “This transaction provides capital to Portola to further the development and commercialization of andexanet alfa, which we believe will have a significant impact on the lives of affected patients.”

Portola will use the proceeds for continued clinical and regulatory activities and for planned development and commercialization of andexanet alfa, an FDA-designated Breakthrough Therapy. Andexanet alfa is in development as a potential antidote for Factor Xa inhibitors. Portola received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA regarding its Biologics License Application for andexanet alfa in August 2016, and expects to resubmit the application in the first half of 2017. In the EU, the European Medicines Agency is reviewing the Marketing Authorization Application for andexanet alfa.

Covenant Not to Compete.  

(a)

Employee agrees that during the terms of this Agreement he shall devote his full business time, energy, skill, labor, and attention to the affairs of the Employer and its affiliates or subsidiaries, shall promptly and faithfully do and perform all services pertaining thereto that are or may hereafter be required of him by the Employer, and shall not engage in any activities, directly or indirectly, involving a conflict of interest with the business or relations of the Employer or its affiliates or subsidiaries.

(b)

Employee recognizes that the business of the Employer and its affiliates or subsidiaries are national and international in scope and that the services to be performed hereunder and the methods employed by the Employer or its affiliates or subsidiaries are such as will place Employee in close business and personal relationship with competing businesses of the Employer or its affiliates or subsidiaries.  Therefore, from and after the date of this Agreement and for one year after expiration of this Agreement or termination of this Agreement, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for his own benefit or for, with, or through any other person, company, or competitive company to Employer, within the states of Georgia own, manage consult, or be connected with, as owner, partner, joint venture, director, employee, officer, consultant, or in any other capacity whatsoever, engage in any business which is the same as, similar to or competitive with any business activities of the Employer.  “Business” is 

defined as any compounding retail pharmacy activity.  Employee acknowledges that the restrictive covenants (the “Restrictive Covenants’) contained in this Section are a condition of his employment and are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporary scope and in all other respects.  If any court determines that any Restrictive Covenants, or any part of the Restrictive Covenants, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants and parts thereof shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portion.  If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid and unenforceable because of geographic or temporal scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the geographic or temporal scope of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable.

(c)

If Employee breaches, or threatens to breach, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Employer, in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies it may have at law or in equity, shall have the right to injunctive relief; it being acknowledged and agreed to by Employee that any such breach or threatened breach would cause irreparable and continuing injury to the Employer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Employer.
