provided that all of the foregoing deductions
shall be calculated in accordance with then-current generally accepted accounting principles in the Unites States, consistently

invoiced or otherwise billed by such Affiliate or sublicensee to an independent Third Party, less the Net Sales Deductions allowed

VIVUS), royalty-bearing (subject in all respects to Section 7.2), sublicensable (subject to ARTICLE 6) license under
the VIVUS Technology, (i) to use, distribute, import, Promote, market, sell, offer for sale, and otherwise Commercialize Products

(a)            As
of the Effective Date and until the completion of the Supply Chain Transfer, Licensee is not being granted any right to manufacture
the Compound or bulk tablets of the Product, and instead Licensee’s rights to make or have made Product shall be limited
to the filling, packaging, and labeling of bulk tablets of Product supplied under the Commercial Supply Agreement, along with the
limited manufacturing rights granted to Licensee in the Commercial Supply Agreement (which are solely intended to address failure
to supply situations).

 

    11 

     

    

 

(b)            In
the event of a Supply Chain Transfer pursuant to Section 6.2, Licensee’s rights to make or have made Product shall be

by Licensee. Licensee acknowledges that the License includes sublicenses under the rights licensed to VIVUS under the
MTPC Agreement and that VIVUS is required to notify and consult with MTPC with respect to the selection of sublicensees.
Consequently, the License may only be further sublicensed on condition that (i) Licensee shall have used Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to promptly notify, consult with,provide all reasonably requested information and cooperate with VIVUS in

in respect of the selection of sublicensees, (ii) provide VIVUS reasonable opportunity to so notify and consult with
MTPC in respect of the selection of sublicensees, (iii) each sublicensee agrees, in writing, to use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to maximize the sale of Products, and (iv) each sublicensee agrees, in writing, to be bound by the

notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, Licensee may sublicense the License to [***] and
TIMM Medical Technologies, Inc. at any time, subject to clauses (iii) and (iv) above. At Licensee’s
request, VIVUS shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any consents or approvals from MTPC that are required for
Licensee to grant such a sublicense, it being understood that, so long as VIVUS uses such Commercially Reasonable Efforts,
VIVUS shall not be responsible for any denials or delays resulting from MTPC’s action or inaction. Any agreement

virtue of its equity investment in Licensee (an “Equity Investor”) or any Affiliate of such Equity
Investor which is not otherwise an Affiliate of Licensee, and (ii) does not control the management of Licensee. For the
avoidance of doubt, neither an individual non-executive member of the board of directors of Licensee, nor any entity

in a Third Party either (i) becoming an Affiliate of such Party or (ii) become such Party’s successor under this
Agreement (such Third Party, an “Acquirer”), and the Acquirer or any of such Acquirer’s Affiliates, immediately
prior to such acquisition, owns or has a license or other right to a Competing Product, then the Acquirer and its Affiliates (including

development or commercialization of such Competing Product.

 

2.9            Covenant
Not To Sue. VIVUS hereby grants to Licensee a covenant not to sue on any VIVUS Technology on account of (i) the Development,

Agreement being triggered.

provide Licensee with copies of any documentation and correspondence between MPTC or such Third Party manufacturer and VIVUS regarding
such breach including written summaries of any oral discussions. In the event that VIVUS is in breach of the MTPC Agreement or
such manufacturing agreement, it shall promptly provide to Licensee a written plan of action to remedy or cure such breach and
shall keep Licensee promptly informed of its progress or any changes to such plan of action. VIVUS may condition disclosure of
attorney-client privileged information or attorney work product on the Parties’ execution of a joint defense agreement, common
interest agreement, or similar agreement intended to preserve attorney-client and attorney work product privileges under Applicable

effect as of the Effective Date, all of VIVUS’ right, title and interest in, to and under the Transition Services

Services Agreement all of VIVUS’ liabilities and obligations thereunder. Between the execution of the Transition
Services Agreement and the assignment of the Transition Services Agreement to Licensee pursuant to this Section 2.12,
VIVUS will not agree to any amendment, waiver of rights, or modification of the Transition Services Agreement that has, or
would reasonably be expected to have, any material negative effect or material adverse impact on the Licensee, without the
prior written consent of Licensee. If the assignment of the Transition Services Agreement to Licensee pursuant to this
Section 2.12 occurs after the execution date thereof, VIVUS shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist and

Regulatory Approval of Products in its territory (i.e., the Licensee Territory for Licensee and the VIVUS Territory
for VIVUS) and (iii) for Promotional, marketing, and medical education purposes in support of the Commercialization of
the Product in its territory. The rights set forth in this section may be sublicensed by each Party to any Third Party
collaborator or licensee in such Party’s territory (or a portion thereof) who also holds Development or
Commercialization rights to the Product in the Party’s respective Territory.

 

(c)            Other
Development. As between the Parties, Licensee shall have the sole right to conduct any further Development work (including
clinical trials) on the Product in the Field in the Licensee Territory, at its sole discretion. Licensee shall be responsible for
all of its costs in connection with any further Development activities that it conducts, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing
by the Parties.

 

    17 

     

    

 

4.2            Commercialization
 – General. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Licensee shall have sole responsibility and decision-making
authority for Commercialization activities for the Licensee Territory. Licensee shall be solely responsible for all costs and
expenses associated with such Commercialization activities. The Commercialization activities shall comply in all material
respects with Applicable Law.

 

 4.3            Commercialization Plan.

 

(a)            Without
limiting the generality of Licensee’s sole responsibility and decision-making authority for Commercializing the Product in
the Field in the Licensee Territory as set forth in Section 4.2, Licensee will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
carry out the Commercialization of the Product in accordance with a written Commercialization Plan, as such may be amended or revised
by Licensee from time to time, that describes the anticipated Commercialization activities to be performed with respect to Product
in the Licensee Territory by Licensee or on its behalf by permitted Third Parties (the “Commercialization Plan”).
Each Commercialization Plan shall address, in reasonable detail, to the extent applicable, call plans for Detailing of Product,
Sales Force training, Product sampling strategies and quantities, Product positioning and scientific communication strategy, and
DTC and non-DTC advertising.

 

(b)            Within
thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, Licensee shall deliver to VIVUS a Commercialization Plan covering activities to be conducted
in preparation of any Product Launch in the Licensee Territory on a country-by-country basis and during the first full calendar
year following such Product Launch.

 

(c)            Licensee
shall thereafter update the Commercialization Plan (together with the Medical Affairs Plan described in Section 4.7) on an
annual basis as follows: Licensee shall provide the JSC (or VIVUS in the absence of a JSC) with preliminary drafts of the Commercialization
Plan and Medical Affairs Plan no later than November 15 of each year for the JSC’s (or VIVUS’ in the absence of
a JSC) review and comment and Licensee shall provide the JSC (or VIVUS in the absence of a JSC) with the final Commercialization
Plan and Medical Affairs Plan no later than January 31 of the year immediately following such year. In preparing the updated
versions of the Commercialization Plan and Medical Affairs Plan, Licensee shall analyze the effectiveness of the elements of the
prior year Commercialization Plan and Medical Affairs Plan and shall use updated sales forecasts to develop the new Commercialization
Plan. Licensee agrees to give due consideration to the input provided by the JSC (or VIVUS in the absence of a JSC) but Licensee
at all times will retain responsibility and decision-making authority for the Commercialization of the Product in the Field in
the Licensee Territory. Licensee may, at its election, update the Commercialization Plan and Medical Affairs Plan between annual
updates by following this same procedure.

 

(d)            Each
Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in performing its obligations under this Section 4.3 concerning (as applicable)
the Commercialization Plan and Medical Affairs Plan.

 

(e)            In
the event of any inconsistency between, on the one hand, the Commercialization Plan or Medical Affairs Plan and, on the other hand,
this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

    18 

     

    

 

 4.4            Commercialization by Licensee.

 

(a)            Licensee,
itself or through its Affiliates or sublicensees, shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize the Product in the
Field in each country of the Licensee Territory. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, on a country-by-country basis,
Licensee shall commence a Product Launch in each country (except for the United States) of the Licensee Territory no later than
the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) days following Licensee’s receipt of Regulatory Approval in such country.

 

(b)            Licensee
shall commence a Product Launch in the United States in accordance with the quantities set forth on Schedule 4.4(b) within
sixty (60) days of the Effective Date. In the event that Licensee, due solely to reasons outside of its reasonable control, is
unable to commence a Product Launch in the United States on or before such date, due to VIVUS, or any supplier or subcontractor
of VIVUS, failing to ship to Licensee Product for sale reasonably in advance of such date, and MTPC thereafter terminates the MTPC
Agreement without affording Licensee the right to continue to commercialize the Product under the terms of the Letter Agreement
set forth in Section 2.1, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Licensee under this Agreement, Licensee shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement and promptly receive a return of the license fee paid by Licensee under Section 7.1.
If VIVUS has complied with the terms of the above and in the event Licensee fails to commence a Product Launch in the United States
within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date and as a result of the failure to launch, MTPC terminates the MTPC Agreement with
VIVUS, VIVUS shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies of VIVUS under this Agreement, have the right to retain the license
fee paid by Licensee under Section 7.1, and VIVUS shall have no liability to Licensee as a result of such termination by MTPC.

 

 4.5            Sales Force.

 

(a)            General.
Licensee shall at all times during the Term maintain a Sales Force containing a reasonable number of sales representatives in order
to meet Licensee’s obligations under Section 4.4 with respect to the Licensee Territory. The Sales Force may consist
of employees of Licensee or a contract sales force (or a combination thereof); provided that Licensee shall remain responsible
for the management, supervision, and performance of such contract sales force.

 

(b)            Qualifications.
Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Licensee shall subject the members of its Sales Force to substantially the same minimum
qualifications that it applies to its sales forces for its other products in the Licensee Territory.

 

(c)            Compensation.
Licensee shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses of recruiting, hiring, maintaining and compensating its Sales Force,
including salaries, benefits and incentive compensation.

 

 4.6            Promotional Materials.

 

(a)            Licensee
shall be responsible, at its expense, for preparing and producing the then current Promotional Materials. Up to two
(2) times per year Licensee shall make its core Promotional Materials available to the JSC (or VIVUS in the absence of a
JSC) for its review. The Promotional Materials used by Licensee or its Affiliates or sublicensees in a particular market in
the Licensee Territory shall be consistent with the Regulatory Approval in the Licensee Territory and shall in any event
comply in all material respects with Applicable Law. Licensee shall use and distribute the Promotional Materials in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. To the extent that VIVUS disagrees with Promotional message or tactics proposed
by Licensee for Product in the Licensee Territory, it may raise such issues with the JSC (or VIVUS in the absence of a JSC)
for discussion. Licensee shall be solely responsible for timely submitting, as applicable, any Promotional Materials to the
FDA’s Office of Prescription Drug Promotion (“OPDP”), or to any equivalent Regulatory Authority
elsewhere in the Licensee Territory (including to any applicable state governmental authorities therein). Promptly following
the Effective Date, VIVUS will take such actions necessary to confirm with OPDP that Licensee is responsible for such
submissions on behalf of VIVUS.

 

    19 

     

    

 

(b)            Licensee
shall not use or distribute in connection with Promotion of the Product any materials bearing VIVUS’ name or trademarks without
VIVUS’ prior written approval.

 

(c)            All
Promotional Materials used or intended for use in the United States shall include MTPC’s name in a form that references MTPC
as the licensor, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and is customary for such materials in the United States. Licensee shall
directly provide MTPC with copies of all such Promotional Materials used or intended for use in the United States as soon as reasonably
practicable after such Promotional Materials are first used. For all other countries (except for the United States) in the Licensee
Territory, Licensee shall, on a country-by-country basis, first request and obtain written confirmation from VIVUS as to whether
(and how) the Promotional Materials used or intended for use in each such country shall include MTPC’s name, before using
any such Promotional Materials in such country.

 

4.7            Medical
Affairs Activities. Without limiting the generality of Licensee’s sole responsibility and decision-making authority for
Commercializing the Product in the Field in the Licensee Territory as set forth in Section 4.2, Licensee will use its Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to carry out medical affairs activities for the Product in accordance with a written Medical Affairs Plan, as
such may be amended or revised by Licensee from time to time, that describes the anticipated medical affairs activities to be performed
with respect to Product in the Licensee Territory by Licensee or on its behalf by permitted Third Parties (the “Medical
Affairs Plan”). Each Medical Affairs Plan shall address, in reasonable detail and to the extent applicable, grants to
support continuing medical education, medical information services, the support of investigator-initiated trials, and phase IV
clinical trials (in each case, with respect to Product in the Field in the Licensee Territory). Within sixty (60) days of the Effective
Date, Licensee shall deliver to VIVUS a Medical Affairs Plan covering those medical affairs activities anticipated to be conducted
in preparation of any Product Launch in the Licensee Territory on a country-by-country basis and during the first full calendar
year following such Product Launch.

 

4.8            Compliance. In
performing its duties hereunder, Licensee shall, and shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its Sales Force
to, comply with all Applicable Laws in all material respects, including all laws and regulations and other guidelines
concerning the sale, promotion, and advertising of prescription drug products that are applicable to the Licensee Territory,
such as the AMA’s Guidelines on Gifts to Physicians, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America
Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals, and the standards promulgated by the Accreditation Council for Continuing
Medical Education, each as amended from time to time. Further, Licensee shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
cause its Sales Force to comply with all Licensee compliance policies as in effect from time to time while selling or
marketing the Product.

 

    20

     

    

 

4.9            Re-Sale
Price. Licensee shall have the sole discretion and authority to determine the price(s) (including discounts) at which
it sells Products in the Licensee Territory, subject to Licensee’s compliance with Applicable Law.

 

4.10          Commercialization
Reports. Licensee shall keep the JSC (or VIVUS in the absence of a JSC) reasonably informed regarding the material progress
and results of Licensee’s Commercialization activities and those of its Affiliates and sublicensees, including providing
the following:

 

(a)            On
a quarterly basis during the Term, Licensee shall provide VIVUS with an email report of gross sales and Net Sales of the Products
in the Licensee Territory during said period and on a calendar year-to-date basis. Any such report shall be in a reasonable format,
as determined by Licensee in its discretion. Each such report shall be deemed to constitute Confidential Information of Licensee
for purposes of this Agreement.

 

4.11          Cross-Territory
Sales. Neither Party shall Commercialize or authorize the Commercialization of any Product in the other Party’s Territory.
Except as authorized under Sections 2.1 and 2.2, neither Party shall, itself or through other Persons, directly solicit, advertise,
sell, distribute, ship, consign, or otherwise transfer any Product outside such Party’s Territory. Each Party shall use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to ensure that Products sold in its Territory are not used outside such Territory. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, neither Party shall sell any Product to a purchaser if such Party knows, or has reason to believe, that such
purchaser intends to remove such Product from such Party’s Territory or otherwise intends to facilitate the use of such Product
outside such Party’s Territory. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that its Affiliates, sublicensees,
distributors, and wholesalers comply with all of the foregoing obligations.

 

ARTICLE 5

REGULATORY

 

		5.1	Transfer of Marketing Authorization.

 

(a)            Transfer.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, VIVUS hereby undertakes to transfer to Licensee NDA #202276 (the
 “Product Marketing Authorization”) and all other regulatory filings previously made with any Governmental
Authorities in any country within the Licensee Territory that remain pending approval as of the date hereof. VIVUS shall, as
soon as practicable following VIVUS’ receipt of full payment of the license fee pursuant to Section 7.1, and in
any event, no later than three (3) Business Days thereafter , notify the FDA of the transfer to Licensee of the Product
Marketing Authorization, and shall promptly provide a correct and complete copy of such notice of transfer to Licensee.
Promptly following VIVUS’ receipt of full payment of the license fee pursuant to Section 7.1, and in any
event, no later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, VIVUS shall provide Licensee with a complete copy of NDA
#202276 and all related correspondence with the FDA. VIVUS shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete any and all
other regulatory requirements necessary for such transfer in accordance with Applicable Laws. Licensee shall assist and
cooperate with VIVUS in connection with such transfer. Licensee shall be responsible for out of pocket costs and expenses
incurred by either Licensee or VIVUS or their Affiliates in connection with the transfer of the Product Marketing
Authorization. Such payments shall be based on written invoices submitted to Licensee by VIVUS from time to time. For
clarity, only the Product Marketing Authorization will be transferred to Licensee, and no patents, patent applications, or
other intellectual property of VIVUS (except for the Assigned Trademarks) shall be transferred to Licensee hereunder.

 

    21

     

    

 

(b)            Post-Transfer
Responsibilities. Licensee shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to comply with all requirements imposed on Licensee
as the holder of the Product Marketing Authorization by Applicable Law and for maintaining the on-going validity of the Product
Marketing Authorization. Licensee shall not take any actions, other than to the extent required by Applicable Law, that would reasonably
be expected to cause the Product Marketing Authorization to be withdrawn by the FDA. Licensee shall be responsible for collecting
and maintaining any safety-related information required by Applicable Law in the Licensee Territory and will coordinate with VIVUS
(or at VIVUS’ request, with VIVUS’ licensees of the Product in the VIVUS Territory) to provide any portion of such
information that is necessary or useful to support safety documentation/reporting in the VIVUS Territory.

 

(c)            Restriction
on Further Transfer. Licensee may not assign or transfer the Product Marketing Authorization without the prior written consent
of VIVUS, except that, in connection with an assignment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.5 hereof, Licensee may make
any such assignment or transfer without VIVUS’ consent to Licensee’s Affiliate or to a successor to all or substantially
all of the assets or business of Licensee to which this Agreement pertains or to a Financing Entity (and such Financing Entity
may make a further assignment to a Qualified Assignee, only in connection with an assignment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.5).
Licensee acknowledges that a breach of this Section 5.1(c) by Licensee would constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

 

(d)            VIVUS
Retained Rights. Notwithstanding the transfer of the Product Marketing Authorization by VIVUS to Licensee as provided in
Section 5.1, VIVUS shall, in all circumstances, retain the following rights after such transfer: (i) VIVUS shall
exercise control over the selection of the manufacturer of the Product for sale in the Licensee Territory unless and until
the Supply Chain Transfer occurs pursuant to Section 6.2; and (ii) VIVUS shall remain the owner of all data filed
with Regulatory Authorities in connection with the Product Marketing Authorization and shall retain the right, with prior
written notice to Licensee, to grant access to this data to Third Parties who are collaborating with or otherwise assisting
VIVUS in connection with the Development or Commercialization of the Product for use in the Field outside the Licensee
Territory, or manufacturing of the Product and/or the development, commercialization, or manufacturing of any other VIVUS
product; and (iii) VIVUS shall, in accordance with Section 5.2(c), retain final decision-making right with respect
to the content of any communications with Regulatory Authorities in the Licensee Territory in connection with the qualification
of Product manufacturers unless and until a Supply Chain Transfer occurs pursuant to Section 6.2.

		5.2	Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Approvals.

 

(a)            Product
Marketing Authorization. Upon transfer of the Product Marketing Authorization to Licensee in accordance with Section 5.1,
(i) Licensee shall be the legal and beneficial owner of the Product Marketing Authorization and any other Regulatory Approval
granted by the FDA or other Regulatory Authority in the Licensee Territory with respect to the Product, and (ii) Licensee
shall be solely responsible for all communications and other dealings with the FDA and any other Regulatory Authorities in the
Licensee Territory relating to the Product or the Product Marketing Authorization, subject to Section 5.1(d).

 

(b)            Costs.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own costs in connection with its performance of regulatory
activities hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) VIVUS shall reimburse Licensee fifty percent (50%) of the user fee
assessed by the FDA in connection with a supplemental application for updates to the Product label to reflect the results of the
spermatogenesis post-marketing required study (the “FDA Assessment”); provided that VIVUS’ payment hereunder
shall not exceed $600,000, and

 

(ii) VIVUS shall be responsible for
any other fees payable to the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority in the Licensee Territory with respect to the Product prior
to the transfer of the Product Marketing Authorization to Licensee, and Licensee shall be responsible for any fees payable to the
FDA or any other Regulatory Authority in the Licensee Territory with respect to the Product after the transfer of the Product Marketing
Authorization to Licensee. With respect to any fees paid by VIVUS prior to the transfer of the Product Marketing Authorization
to Licensee as prepayments to the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority in the Licensee Territory with respect to the Product,
Licensee shall reimburse VIVUS for the pro rata portion of such fees that are allocable to the Term of this Agreement.

 

(c)            Notifications;

Regulatory Authorities, and receipt of, or any material changes to existing, Regulatory Approvals, in each case for the
Product in the Licensee Territory, pursuant to procedures to be developed by the JSC (or VIVUS in the absence of a JSC).
Prior to completion of the transfer of the Product Marketing Authorization to Licensee in accordance with Section 5.1,
VIVUS and Licensee shall jointly make decisions with respect to the content of any communications that VIVUS makes to
Regulatory Authorities regarding the Product. Following completion of transfer of the Product Marketing Authorization to
Licensee in accordance with Section 5.1, Licensee shall have the right to make any final decisions with respect to the
content of any communications that it makes to Regulatory Authorities regarding the Product; provided, however, that
(i) any commitments to a Regulatory Authority in the Licensee Territory that would reasonably be expected to have a
material impact on the Commercialization of the Product in the VIVUS Territory shall require VIVUS’ prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the first sentence of
this Section 5.2(c), following completion of transfer of the Product Marketing Authorization to Licensee in accordance
with Section 5.1, at VIVUS’ reasonable request, Licensee shall promptly provide copies of then-current
versions of any and all such Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Approvals.

 

    23

     

    

 

		5.3	Other Regulatory Obligations.

 

(a)            Licensee
shall comply with all pharmacovigilance obligations imposed by Applicable Law in relation to the Product. Each Party shall keep
the other informed in a timely manner of any Information that such Party receives (directly or indirectly) that (i) raises
any material concerns regarding the safety or efficacy of the Product; (ii) reasonably indicates or suggests a potential material
liability of either Party to Third Parties in connection with the Product; (iii) is reasonably likely to lead to a recall
or market withdrawal of the Product in any jurisdiction; or (iv) relates to the Product and is reasonably likely to have a
material impact on a Regulatory Approval, Pricing Approval, or the Commercialization of the Product in the Field in the Licensee
Territory.

 

(b)            Each
Party shall fully cooperate with and assist the other Party in complying with any regulatory obligations with respect to the Product,
or the manufacturing thereof, in the Licensee Territory.

 

(c)            Prior
to the completion of the transfer of the Product Marketing Authorization to Licensee, Licensee shall not communicate with any Regulatory
Authority in the Licensee Territory regarding any Product unless explicitly requested or permitted in writing to do so by VIVUS.
Following the completion of transfer of the Product Marketing Authorization to Licensee, (i) Licensee’s communications
with Regulatory Authorities in the Licensee Territory regarding the Product shall comply with Section 5.2(c) and Section 5.3(a),
and (ii) except to the extent required by Applicable Law, VIVUS shall not communicate with any Regulatory Authority in the
Licensee Territory regarding any Product unless explicitly requested or permitted in writing to do so by Licensee. Except to the
extent required by Applicable Law, in no event shall Licensee communicate with any Regulatory Authority in the VIVUS Territory
regarding any Product unless explicitly requested or permitted in writing to do so by VIVUS.

 

5.4            Rights
of Reference. VIVUS hereby grants to Licensee an exclusive right of reference to all Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Approvals
owned or Controlled by VIVUS solely for the purpose of obtaining or maintaining, during the Term, the Product Marketing Authorization.
Licensee hereby grants to VIVUS an exclusive right of reference to all Regulatory Materials, Regulatory Approvals (including the
Product Marketing Authorization), and Pricing Approvals owned or Controlled by Licensee solely for the purpose of obtaining or
maintaining Regulatory Approval for Product in the VIVUS Territory during the Term.

 

		5.5	Regulatory Actions.

 

(a)            Notice
of Non-Compliance. Each Party shall promptly disclose to the other Party any information that it receives pertaining to notices
from Regulatory Authorities of non-compliance with Applicable Laws that might reasonably be expected to have an impact on the Commercialization
of the Product in the Territory, including any notices relating to the manufacture of the Product.

 

    24

     

    

 

(b)            Inspection
or Audit. If a Regulatory Authority desires to conduct an inspection or audit of either Party’s facility or a facility
under contract with either Party with regard to the Product, such Party shall cooperate and cause the contract facility to cooperate
with such Regulatory Authority during such inspection or audit. Each Party shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to segregate,
and not disclose, any Confidential Information of the other Party or other materials, correspondence and documents that are not
required to be disclosed during an audit or inspection by a Regulatory Authority. To the extent that either Party receives the
inspection or audit observations of such Regulatory Authority, such Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy of
the inspection or audit observations of such Regulatory Authority. The Party holding the Product Marketing Authorization shall
prepare the response to any such observations, but the submission of the response to the applicable Regulatory Authority shall
be subject to the other Party’s review, and the Party holding the Product Marketing Authorization shall give due consideration
to such other Party’s comments. Each Party shall implement at its own cost the actions to correct any material deficiencies
with such Party’s facility or facility under contract found by the Regulatory Authority during the audit or inspection, in
accordance with the requirements of the Regulatory Authority and Applicable Law. In the case of any audit or inspection of a Party’s
facility or a facility under contract with such Party where such audit or inspection is not related to the Product, such Party
shall promptly notify the other Party of any findings of such an audit or inspection that may have an effect on the other Party’s
ability to assume its obligation and responsibilities imposed by this Agreement or the Commercialization of the Product in the
Licensee Territory.

 

(c)            Product
Withdrawals and Recalls. The Parties shall exchange their internal standard operating procedures
(“SOPs”) for conducting product recalls reasonably in advance of Product Launch, and shall discuss and
resolve any conflicts between such SOPs and issues relating thereto promptly after such exchange. In the event of any
disagreement as to how to resolve any such conflicts with respect to the Product, VIVUS ‘s SOP shall control unless and
until VIVUS transfers ownership of the Product Marketing Authorization to Licensee, and Licensee’s SOP shall control
thereafter. If either Party becomes aware of information relating to the Product that indicates that a unit or batch of such
Product may not conform to the specifications therefor, or that potential adulteration, misbranding, and/or other issues have
arisen that relate to the safety or efficacy of Products, it shall promptly so notify the other Party. To the extent
practicable, the Parties shall discuss the circumstances of any potential product recall, field correction, or withdrawal of
any Product and possible appropriate courses of action. If Licensee decides to initiate a recall, field correction, or
withdrawal of Product in the Licensee Territory, Licensee shall have the right and responsibility, at its expense but without
limiting any claims Licensee may have against VIVUS or any other Person, to control such recall, field correction, or
withdrawal in a manner consistent with its internal SOPs (as revised pursuant to the first sentence of this
Section 5.5(c), if applicable); provided, however, Licensee shall consider in good faith the views of VIVUS as to
whether a recall, field correction, or withdrawal is necessary or appropriate. For clarity, as between the Parties, VIVUS
shall have the right, at its expense, to control all recalls, field corrections, and withdrawals of any Product in the VIVUS
Territory. Each Party shall maintain complete and accurate records of any recall, field correction, or withdrawal in its
territory for such periods as may be required by Applicable Laws, but in no event for less than five (5) years. For
purposes of clarity, for Product supplied by VIVUS under the Commercial Supply Agreement, the Parties’ respective
responsibilities for the costs of any Product recall, field correction, or withdrawal of such Product shall be as set
forth in the Commercial Supply Agreement.

 

    25

     

    

 

5.6            PV
Agreement. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into
a separate pharmacovigilance agreement (the “PV Agreement”), containing the specific terms, conditions and obligations
of the Parties with respect to the collection, reporting and monitoring of all adverse drug reactions, adverse events, medical
inquires with safety concerns, and other relevant drug safety matters with respect to Products during the Term. From the Effective
Date until the date that the Parties have entered into the PV Agreement, but in no event for any period longer than thirty (30)
days following the Effective Date, VIVUS shall handle medical inquiries, complaints and adverse experience reporting for the Product
in the United States in accordance with VIVUS’ customary practice for handing such activities and using VIVUS’ existing
resources (including call centers).

 

ARTICLE 6

MANUFACTURING

 

6.1            Commercial
Supply Agreement. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties have executed (a) the manufacturing and
supply agreement (the “Commercial Supply Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit B, under which VIVUS
has agreed to supply, itself or through one (1) or more Third Party manufacturers, bulk tablets of Product to Licensee, its
Affiliates, and/or its sublicensees for Commercialization in the Field in the Licensee Territory, and (b) the quality agreement
(the “Quality Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit F, which governs the agreed-upon specifications
and other technical aspects of supply of such Product for Commercialization in the Field in the Licensee Territory. For the avoidance
of doubt, none of VIVUS’ agreements with Third Party manufacturers and suppliers for the Product shall be assigned to Licensee
on the Effective Date.

 

6.2            Transition
of Supply Chain. At a time selected by Licensee, but in any event no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days
following the Effective Date, Licensee may elect to have VIVUS transfer control of the supply chain for the Product to
Licensee or its designee for the supply of Product for the Licensee Territory by assigning to Licensee VIVUS’
agreement(s) with the contract manufacturer(s) in such supply chain (the “Supply Chain
Transfer”). As promptly as practicable following written notice from Licensee that it will exercise its right to a
Supply Chain Transfer, the Parties shall discuss and agree on a written plan for the Supply Chain Transfer (the
 “Supply Chain Transfer Plan”). Following agreement on such Supply Chain Transfer Plan, the Parties shall
each use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to carry out their respective obligations thereunder in a timely fashion; provided,
however, the Supply Chain Transfer shall only occur if and when Licensee makes the applicable election. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Licensee acknowledges that in order for VIVUS to carry out its obligations under the Supply Chain Transfer Plan,
VIVUS will need to obtain certain third party consents that are outside of the control of VIVUS. Following the Supply Chain
Transfer, Licensee shall pay the Third Party manufacturer of Product directly for such supply. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein or otherwise, VIVUS hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not agree or consent to any amendment,
waiver of rights, or modification of any agreements that pertain to the current supply chain for the Product, including
without limitation the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement, (a) that would reasonably be expected to result in
(i) any non-routine increase in the Price (as defined in the Commercial Supply Agreement), (ii) any early
termination of the Commercial Supply Agreement, or (iii) any increase in the Licensee’s Minimum Purchase
Obligations (as defined in the Commercial Supply Agreement), (b) that has, or would reasonably be expected to have, any
other material negative effect or material adverse impact on the rights granted to Licensee hereunder or under the Commercial
Supply Agreement or (c) that would impose additional material obligations on Licensee hereunder or under the Commercial
Supply Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of Licensee (which consent shall not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed).

7.2            Royalties
under MTPC Agreement. Licensee shall be responsible for paying the amounts and payments set forth on Exhibit C
owed by VIVUS to MTPC under the MTPC Agreement on account of Net Sales of Licensee or its Affiliates or sublicensees, including
the royalties on net sales owed to MTPC during the MTPC Royalty Period, trademark royalties owed to MTPC after the end of the MTPC
Royalty Period, and Licensee’s pro-rata share of the sales milestone, all of which are set forth in Exhibit C
(the “MTPC Payments”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that (i) such payments to VIVUS
are intended to match payments owed by VIVUS to MTPC under the MTPC Agreement, (ii) that to the extent royalties owed to MTPC
are terminated or reduced (temporarily or permanently) for any reason, any royalties owed by Licensee to VIVUS hereunder shall
be terminated or reduced (temporarily or permanently, as applicable) in an equivalent manner (and for an equivalent duration, as
applicable) in all respects, (iii) except as expressly provided herein, such royalties shall not be subject to any step-down,
and (iv) that the definition of “net sales” under the MTPC Agreement is different than the definition of Net Sales
hereunder, and that, as a result, Licensee’s payment obligations under this Section 7.2 and Exhibit C that
are based on net sales shall be determined using the definition of MTPC Agreement Net Sales contained in the MTPC Agreement.

 

7.3            Royalty
Payments and Reports. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Licensee shall provide VIVUS with
a statement of (a) the amount of gross sales of Products during the applicable calendar quarter, (b) an itemized calculation
of Net Sales showing Net Sales Deductions during such calendar quarter, and (c) the calculation of the amount of any payment
due pursuant to Section 7.2. Together with each quarterly statement provided pursuant to this Section 7.3, Licensee shall
provide VIVUS with any payments due. All amounts payable to VIVUS under this Section 7.3 shall be paid by wire transfer of
immediately available funds into an account designated in writing by VIVUS. Promptly, but no later than ten (10) Business
Days, after VIVUS’ receipt of any such payments, VIVUS shall remit such payments by wire transfer to MTPC in accordance with
the terms of the MTPC Agreement, and provide Licensee with confirmation of such wire transfer.

 

    27

     

    

 

7.4            Taxes.
All payments made under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of withholding for Taxes (“Withholding Taxes”)
unless such withholding is otherwise required under Applicable Law. To the extent such withholding is required under Applicable
Law, Licensee shall pay such Taxes to the applicable taxing authority and shall be permitted to deduct such Taxes from applicable
payments under this Agreement. Licensee will timely provide VIVUS with reasonable documentation evidencing the payment of any such
Taxes to the applicable taxing authority and shall comply with any tax reporting obligations that are required under Applicable
Law so as to enable VIVUS to obtain a credit of any such Tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a deduction or
withholding of Taxes hereunder arises as a result of any action taken by Licensee after the Effective Date that has at the time
of such action the effect of modifying the Tax treatment of, or increasing the Taxes applicable to, payments hereunder, in each
case relative to the Tax treatment existing as of the Effective Date (a “Licensee Withholding Tax Action”),
including without limitation an assignment of this Agreement by Licensee or any failure on the part of Licensee to comply with
Applicable Law, then, and only to the extent VIVUS is not eligible to obtain a credit of any such withholding taxes, (a) the
payment by Licensee shall be increased by the amount necessary (the “Additional Tax”) to ensure that VIVUS receives
an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such Licensee Withholding Tax Action occurred, and (b) obligations
set forth above with respect to making payments to the applicable taxing authority and reporting such payments to VIVUS shall apply
with respect to such Additional Tax; provided that, to the extent any Additional Tax is attributable in whole or in part to any
action taken by VIVUS after the Effective Date, the payment increase in subsection (a) shall be proportionately reduced to
reflect the relative responsibilities of the Parties for causing the deduction or withholding of Taxes. Solely for purposes of
this Section 7.4, “Taxes” means any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, assessments
or fees of any nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that are imposed by the applicable government or other
taxing authority.

 

7.5            Late
Payments. In the event any payment due hereunder is not made when due, the payment shall accrue interest (beginning on the
date such payment is due) calculated at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Law,
whichever is less. Such payment when made shall be accompanied by all interest so accrued.

 

7.6            Records;
Audits. Licensee shall maintain complete and accurate books and records in accordance with GAAP in sufficient detail to
permit VIVUS to confirm the accuracy of milestone payments, royalty payments, and any other compensation payable under this
Agreement, for a period of five (5) years from the creation of individual records or any longer period required by
Applicable Law. At VIVUS’ request, such records shall be available for review at Licensee’s headquarters located
at 11 Commerce Drive, 1st Floor, Cranford, New Jersey 07016, or a mutually agreeable location determined by Parties not more
than once each calendar year covering the two (2) immediately preceding calendar years (during normal business hours on
a mutually agreed date with reasonable advance notice) by an independent Third Party auditor selected by VIVUS and approved
by Licensee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and subject to confidentiality and
non-use obligations no less stringent than those set forth in ARTICLE 11 for the sole purpose of verifying for VIVUS the
accuracy of the financial reports furnished by Licensee pursuant to this Agreement or of any payments made by Licensee to
VIVUS pursuant to this Agreement. Any such auditor shall not disclose Licensee’s Confidential Information to VIVUS,
except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by
Licensee or the amount of payments due by Licensee under this Agreement. Any undisputed amounts finally determined to be owed
but unpaid shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in
Section 7.5) from the original due date. Any amounts finally determined to have been overpaid may be credited by
Licensee against future payments to VIVUS hereunder. Licensee may carry forward any unused credits to future calendar
quarters; provided, that in the event there are unused credit amounts upon the termination of this Agreement or expiration of
the MTPC Royalty Period, VIVUS shall promptly pay to Licensee such amounts. VIVUS shall bear the full cost of such audit
unless such audit reveals an underpayment or under-reporting error of ten percent (10%) or more during the applicable audit
period, in which case Licensee shall bear the full cost of such audit.

 

    28

     

    

 

7.7            Currency.
All amounts specified or payable in this Agreement shall be in United States dollars.

 

ARTICLE 8

INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY

 

8.1            Ownership
of Inventions. Each Party shall own all inventions and Information made solely by its respective employees, agents, and independent
contractors and its Affiliates in the course of conducting such Party’s activities under this Agreement (collectively, “Sole
Inventions”), along with any Patents covering such Sole Inventions. All inventions and Information that are made jointly
by employees, Affiliates, agents, or independent contractors of both Parties in the course of performing activities under this
Agreement (collectively, “Joint Inventions”), along with any Joint Patents, shall be owned jointly by the Parties.
Subject to the licenses granted pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.3, each Party shall have the right to practice, license and exploit
the Joint Inventions and Joint Patents worldwide, without consent of the other Party (and where consent is required by Applicable
Law, such consent is hereby deemed granted) and without a duty of accounting to the other Party. For the avoidance of doubt and
for purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that any Joint Inventions relate to any Product, such Joint Inventions shall be deemed
to constitute VIVUS Know-How and Licensee Know-How, and to the extent that any Joint Patents relate to any Product, such Joint
Patents shall be deemed to constitute VIVUS Patents and Licensee Patents.

 

8.2            Disclosure
of Inventions. Each Party shall promptly disclose to the other all Sole Inventions or Joint Inventions relating to any Product
or its composition, formulation, manufacture, or use, including all invention disclosures or other similar documents submitted
to such Party by its, or its Affiliates’, employees, agents or independent contractors describing such Sole Inventions or
Joint Inventions. Such Party shall also respond promptly to reasonable requests from the other Party for more Information relating
to such inventions.

 

		8.3	Prosecution of Patents.

 

(a)            VIVUS
Patents. Licensee acknowledges that, under the terms of the MTPC
Agreement, MTPC has the sole right to prosecute and maintain the VIVUS Patents.

 

    29

     

    

 

(b)            Joint
Patents. With respect to any potentially patentable Joint Invention, the Parties shall meet and agree upon which Party, if
any, shall prepare, file, prosecute (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and reexaminations) and maintain patent applications
covering such Joint Invention (any such patent application and any patents issuing therefrom a “Joint Patent”)
in any jurisdictions throughout the world, as well as the manner in which patent expense for such Joint Patent will be shared by
the Parties. The Party that prosecutes a patent application in the Joint Patents (the “Prosecuting Party”) shall
provide the other Party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding the applicable Joint
Patents in the particular jurisdictions, and such other Party shall provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such
efforts. The Prosecuting Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of all material communications from any patent authority
in the applicable jurisdictions regarding the Joint Patent being prosecuted by such Party, and shall provide drafts of any material
filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or
responses. In particular, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary or desirable to enable the
other Party to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority. Either Party may determine
that it is no longer interested in supporting the continued prosecution or maintenance of a particular Joint Patent in a country
or jurisdiction, in which case the disclaiming Party shall provide the other Party with written notice of such determination at
least thirty (30) days before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment and shall provide the other Party with the opportunity
to have the disclaiming Party’s interest in such Joint Patent in such country or jurisdiction assigned to the other Party,
at no cost to the other Party.

 

(c)            Cooperation
in Prosecution. Each Party shall provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation in the Patent prosecution
efforts provided above in this Section 8.3, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required
documents or instruments for such prosecution.

 

		8.4	Enforcement of Patents.

 

(a)            Notification.
If a Party becomes aware of any infringement, threatened infringement, or alleged infringement of the VIVUS Patents or Joint
Patents on account of a Third Party’s manufacture, use or sale of a product that includes the Compound as the sole
active ingredient in the Field in the Licensee Territory (in each case, a “Product Infringement”), then
such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of such Product Infringement, including any evidence in such
Party’s possession demonstrating such Product Infringement. Any “patent certification” filed in the United
States under 21 U.S.C. §355(b)(2) or 21 U.S.C. §355(j)(2) (or similar provisions in other
jurisdictions) that asserts that infringement of a VIVUS Patent or Joint Patent will not arise from the manufacture, use or
sale of a product that includes the Compound as the sole active ingredient in the Field in the Licensee Territory by a Third
Party or that asserts that any claims of a VIVUS Patent or Joint Patent covering product that includes the Compound as the
sole active ingredient in the Field in the Licensee Territory is invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed to be a Product
Infringement hereunder, and each Party shall provide written notice to other Party of any such filed certification within
five (5) Business Days of becoming aware thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, VIVUS shall bear all fees, costs and
expenses associated in any manner with the Hetero Litigation and VIVUS shall not consent to any settlement with respect to
the Hetero Litigation without the prior written consent of Licensee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), provided that (i) Licensee’s consent shall not be required for any settlement with
respect to the Hetero Litigation that (A) does not include any admission of the invalidity of, or waiver or forfeiture
of any claims of, the VIVUS Patents and (B) includes any entry date for a Generic Product that is on or after the date
that is six (6) months prior to the expiration date of U.S. Patent No. 6,656,935, and (ii) if (A) VIVUS,
in good faith, recommends a settlement proposal to Licensee, in writing, that (x) does not include any admission of the
invalidity of, or waiver or forfeiture of any claims of, the VIVUS Patents and (y) includes any entry date for a Generic
Product that is earlier than the date that is six (6) months prior to the expiration date of U.S. Patent
No. 6,656,935, but no earlier than the date that is one (1) year prior to the expiration date of U.S. Patent
No. 6,656,935, and (B) Licensee does not deliver to VIVUS a written consent to such settlement proposal within five
(5) Business Days of Licensee’s receipt of VIVUS’ recommendation, then Licensee will immediately assume full
responsibility for the Hetero Litigation (including any and all costs and expenses related to, arising from, or otherwise
associated therewith) from the date of such written recommendation from VIVUS, and VIVUS will reasonably cooperate with
Licensee, at Licensee’s sole cost and expense, to facilitate any transition of the Hetero Litigation from VIVUS to
Licensee.

 

    30

     

    

 

(b)            Enforcement.
During the Term and subject to the remainder of this Section 8.4(b), Licensee shall have the first right to initiate, prosecute
and control legal proceedings against any person or entity engaged in a Product Infringement of the VIVUS Patents in the Licensee
Territory, all at Licensee’s sole expense. If Licensee decides not to bring such legal action, or if Licensee fails to initiate
such legal action by the Action Date, VIVUS (and/or MTPC) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence a suit or take
action to enforce the applicable VIVUS Patents with respect to such Product Infringement in the Licensee Territory, at its own
expense.

 

(c)            Cooperation.
Each Party shall provide to the Party enforcing any rights under Section 8.4(b) reasonable assistance in such enforcement,
including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action. Additionally, to the extent
requested by Licensee, VIVUS agrees to exercise its right under the MTPC Agreement to require MTPC to cooperate in any enforcement
by or on behalf of Licensee pursuant to Section 8.4(b), including being joined as a party to such action if necessary. The
enforcing Party shall keep the other Party reasonably and regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts,
and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts. The non- enforcing Party shall have the right
to be represented in any action brought under Section 8.4(b) by counsel of its choice and at its own expense. For clarity,
as between the Parties, VIVUS (or MTPC or a VIVUS designee) shall have the exclusive right to bring and control any legal action
in connection with any actual, alleged, or threatened infringement of a VIVUS Patent that is not a Product Infringement at its
own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate.

 

(d)            Settlement.
Without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
neither Party shall settle any claim, suit or action brought under Section 8.4 involving VIVUS Patents in any manner
that (i) admits the invalidity of, or otherwise impairs the other Party’s rights in, the VIVUS Patents or
(ii) limits, or would reasonably be expected to limit, the ability of the other
Party or its licensees to sell or manufacture Products in its territory (i.e., the Licensee Territory in the case of
Licensee or the VIVUS Territory in the case of VIVUS). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (A) Licensee
decides not to bring a legal action against Product Infringement in the Licensee Territory, or if Licensee fails to initiate
such legal action by the Action Date, and (B) thereafter MTPC (or a licensee or designee of MTPC other than VIVUS)
brings an action under the VIVUS Patents in the Licensee Territory or the VIVUS Territory, settlement of such action shall be
at MTPC’s sole discretion and shall not require the consent of Licensee.

 

    31

     

    

 

(e)            Recoveries.
Any recoveries resulting from an action brought by a Party under Section 8.4(b) relating to a claim of Product Infringement
of a VIVUS Patent shall be first applied against payment of each Party’s costs and expenses in connection therewith. Any
such recoveries in excess of such costs and expenses (the “Remainder”) will be retained by the enforcing Party;
provided that if Licensee is the enforcing Party, the Remainder shall be included in Net Sales for purposes of calculating royalties
owed to VIVUS hereunder.

 

(f)            Joint
Patents. If a Third Party infringes any Joint Patent, the Parties shall discuss such infringement and the Parties shall each
have the right, but neither Party shall be obligated, to bring an appropriate suit or other action under such Joint Patent against
any Person engaged in such infringement. If both Parties agree to so enforce such Joint Patents, they shall be jointly responsible
for, and share equally, all the costs and expenses of any suit brought by them and shall equally share all recoveries with respect
thereto. If one Party elects not to enforce such Joint Patents against such infringement, then the other Party shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to take action to enforce such Joint Patents against such infringement at its own cost and expense and
such other Party may retain all recoveries with respect thereto.

 

8.5          Patent
Marking. Licensee shall, and shall require its Affiliates and sublicensees, to mark Products sold by it hereunder with appropriate
patent numbers or indicia to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

 

8.6          Trademarks.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 12.5(c), VIVUS hereby sells, assigns, conveys, transfers
and delivers to Licensee, and Licensee hereby receives and accepts from VIVUS, with effect as of the Effective Date, all of its
right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Trademarks, any and all goodwill associated therewith, and all rights in and to
any of the foregoing. Licensee shall be responsible for the selection, adoption, registration, maintenance and defense of the (a) Assigned
Trademarks and

 

(b) any other trademarks Licensee
uses in connection with the sale or marketing of Products in the Licensee Territory (such other trademarks, collectively, the “Licensee
Trademarks”), as well as all expenses associated therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Licensee determines that
it is no longer interested in maintaining (or defending against any cancellation proceedings) a particular Assigned Trademark,
Licensee shall provide VIVUS with written notice of such determination at least sixty (60) days before any deadline for taking
action to avoid any cancellation of, abandonment of, or other loss of rights relating to such Assigned Trademark, and at VIVUS’
request, shall promptly transfer and assign such Assigned Trademark, any goodwill associated therewith, and all rights in and to
any of the foregoing, to VIVUS, at no cost to VIVUS. Licensee shall own all Licensee Trademarks.

 

    32

     

    

 

8.7          Regulatory
Data Protection. As between the Parties, Licensee shall be solely responsible for deciding which of the VIVUS Patents to
submit to FDA for listing in the Orange Book for any Product and for maintaining with FDA correct and complete listings of
applicable patents for such Product; provided that Licensee shall not unreasonably fail to include any VIVUS Patents
requested by VIVUS to be submitted to FDA for listing in the Orange Book.

 

8.8          Infringement
of Third Party IP. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any allegation, claim or suit that the manufacture,
use or sale of any Product infringes or misappropriates a Third Party’s Patent or other Intellectual Property. Subject to
ARTICLE 10, each Party shall have the sole right to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of
Third Party rights by such Party’s activities, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice.

 

ARTICLE 9

generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to a court’s discretionary authority with respect to the
granting of a decree ordering specific performance or other equitable remedies.

(a)            VIVUS
is the exclusive licensee of the VIVUS Patents in the Field in the Licensee Territory;

 

(b)            except
for the Auxilium Agreement, VIVUS has granted no rights to a Third Party under the VIVUS Technology with respect to the Commercialization
of Product in the Field in the Licensee Territory, and as of the Effective Date, no Third Party has any right or license to clinically
develop Product in the Field in the Territory at any time during the Term;

 

(c)            to
the Knowledge of VIVUS as of the Effective Date, the manufacture, Development, and Commercialization of the Product in the Field
in the Licensee Territory does not infringe any issued Third Party patents or any claims of any pending patent applications in
the Licensee Territory that are reasonably likely to issue as filed. To the Knowledge of VIVUS, no Third Party is infringing any
VIVUS Patents. VIVUS has not received any written notice from any Third Party asserting that the VIVUS Patents are invalid, unenforceable,
or not infringed. VIVUS has not, and, to the Knowledge of VIVUS, MTPC has not, alleged that any Third Party infringes or has infringed
the VIVUS Patents or misappropriated or used without authorization the VIVUS Know-How;

 

(d)            there
are no material liens, encumbrances, charges, security interests, mortgages or other similar restrictions currently existing on
or to the VIVUS Technology and VIVUS has not granted any outstanding liens, encumbrances, charges, security interests, mortgages
or other similar restrictions on the VIVUS Technology in the Territory;

 

(e)            to
the Knowledge of VIVUS, all of the clinical trials of the Product conducted prior to, or being conducted as of, the Effective Date
were conducted, or are being conducted, in accordance with Applicable Laws, and in the case of clinical trials, the then valid
cGCP. “cGCP” shall mean the current standards for Clinical Trials for drugs, as set forth in the FDC Act and applicable
FDA regulations (including without limitation 21 C.F.R. Parts 50, 54 and 56) and guidances promulgated thereunder, as amended from
time to time;

 

(f)            VIVUS
has disclosed, shown or made available (e.g., through the electronic data room) to Licensee all material information and
data (including without limitation all communications with or from the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority) relating to the results
of all preclinical studies and clinical trials of the Product;

 

(g)            VIVUS
has provided to, or made available for review by, Licensee all reports and data collections containing information about adverse
safety issues (including adverse drug experiences) related to the Product of which VIVUS has Knowledge;

 

(h)            VIVUS
has not received any written notice from any Third Party asserting or alleging that the research, Development, making or using
of the Product by VIVUS prior to the Effective Date has infringed or otherwise violated, or that the Commercialization of the Product
in the Field in the Licensee Territory will infringe or otherwise violate, the intellectual property rights of such Third Party.

 

    34

     

    

 

(i)             VIVUS
has obtained the Product Marketing Authorization. True and complete copies of such Product Marketing Authorization and all correspondence
with the FDA and any other Regulatory Authority relating to the Product Marketing Authorization have been provided to Licensee.
As of the Effective Date, the Product Marketing Authorization remains valid, and VIVUS has not received any notices from the FDA
or any other Regulatory Authority regarding any possible modifications or withdrawals;

 

(j)             the
MTPC Agreement is valid, binding and in full force and effect and is enforceable by VIVUS in accordance with its terms. Except
as would not reasonably be expected to result in the termination, or material limitation, restriction or adverse change, in the
rights granted to Licensee by the terms of this Agreement, (i) VIVUS has performed all obligations required to be performed
by it to date under the MTPC Agreement and is not in breach of or in default under the MTPC Agreement, and no event has occurred
which with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute such a breach or default, (ii) there is no existing
breach or default by MTPC and (iii) no event has occurred which with the passage of time or giving notice of or both would
constitute such a breach or default by MTPC. VIVUS has not received any written notice of breach under the MTPC Agreement, whether
or not cured or disputed. MTPC has not exercised its rights under Section 2.4 of the MTPC Agreement. To the Knowledge of VIVUS,
VIVUS’ rights under the VIVUS Technology with respect to the Development, manufacture or Commercialization of the Product
in the Field for the Licensee Territory are exclusive as to MTPC. VIVUS has provided to Licensee a complete and accurate copy of
the MTPC Agreement as of the Effective Date;

respect to the Product covered by the Product Marketing Authorization, VIVUS has paid in full the milestones due to date under
the MTPC Agreement;

 

(l)             VIVUS
will not at any time during the Term take any action that it knows or should know, will result in a breach of the MTPC Agreement
and will throughout the Term comply with the terms and provisions of the MTPC Agreement in all material respects. VIVUS will not
at any time during the Term terminate the MTPC Agreement without the prior written consent of Licensee. VIVUS will not agree to
any amendment, waiver of rights, or modification of the MTPC Agreement that (i) would reasonably be expected to result in
(A) any non-routine increase in the Price (as defined in the Commercial Supply Agreement), (B) any early termination
of the Commercial Supply Agreement, or (C) any increase in the Licensee’s Minimum Purchase Obligations (as defined in
the Commercial Supply Agreement), (ii) has, or would reasonably be expected to have, any other material negative effect or
other material adverse impact on (A) any financial or reporting obligation of Licensee or (B) on the rights granted to
Licensee under this Agreement or the material obligations imposed on Licensee under this Agreement, without the prior written consent
of Licensee;

 

(m)           VIVUS
has not knowingly failed to furnish Licensee with any information requested by Licensee, or intentionally concealed from Licensee
any information in VIVUS’ possession which would be reasonably likely to be material to Licensee’s decision to enter
into this Agreement and undertake the commitments and obligations set forth herein;

 

    35

     

    

 

(n)            as
of the Effective Date, VIVUS represents and warrants that (i) there is no actual, pending, alleged or, to the Knowledge
of VIVUS, threatened product liability action with respect to any Product anywhere in the United States or the European
Union; (ii) to the Knowledge of VIVUS, there is no actual, pending, alleged or threatened product liability action with
respect to any Product anywhere else the world; and (iii) to the Knowledge of VIVUS, there are no facts or circumstances
that would cause VIVUS to believe that there is a basis for such a product liability claim;

 

(o)            to
the Knowledge of VIVUS, VIVUS, its Affiliates, its sublicensees, and their respective authorized distributors and agents, in each
case in respect of the Product, have shipped and sold at all times during the nine (9) month period prior to the Effective
Date, the Product in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past Product shipment and sales practices and, in particular,
have not, directly or indirectly: (a) engaged in “channel stuffing” or “load” selling of Product,
(b) encouraged or required customers to “buy in” Product, (c) encouraged customers to make payments earlier
than would otherwise reasonably be expected (based on historical patterns) to be made, or otherwise (d) engaged in the process

Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Licensee Indemnitee based on or arising out of:

 

(a)            any
misrepresentation or breach of any of VIVUS’ representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement;

 

(b)            the
negligence or willful misconduct of, or violation of Applicable Law by, VIVUS, its Affiliates, licensees, distributors or their
respective officers, directors, employees, consultants or authorized agents under this Agreement; or

 

(c)            the
Commercialization of any Product by VIVUS, its Affiliates, and its current and former sublicensees.

 

The foregoing indemnity obligations shall

representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct
of, or violation of Applicable Law by, such Licensee Indemnitee.

by Licensee. Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless VIVUS, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors,
employees, consultants and authorized agents and their respective successors and assigns or heirs, as the case may be (the “VIVUS

10.3        Indemnification
Procedures. The Party claiming indemnity under this ARTICLE 10 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall
give written notice to the Party from whom indemnity is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly
and in no event later than thirty (30) days after learning of a written Claim (“Indemnified Claim”).
Failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of an Indemnified Claim within thirty (30) days of receiving a writing
reflecting such Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder except and solely
to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give such notice. The
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense of the Indemnified Claim with counsel of its choice
so long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense. The Indemnified Party shall provide the
Indemnifying Party with reasonable assistance in connection with the defense of the Indemnified Claim. The Indemnified Party
may monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense; provided, that if under applicable standards
of professional conduct a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in respect of
such claim, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent such Indemnified Party with
respect to the matters as to which a conflict of interest exists and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such
separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party may not settle the Indemnified Claim without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Indemnified Claim as provided above: (a) the
Indemnified Party may assume and conduct the defense of the Indemnified claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense;
(b) the Indemnified Party may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the
Indemnified Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not
consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith); and (c) the Indemnifying
Party will remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnified Party for Losses as provided in this ARTICLE 10.

 

10.4        Limitation
of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL,
PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, COSTS OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES AND/OR LOST SAVINGS) ARISING FROM OR
RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 10.4 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT (A) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR
OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 10.1 OR 10.2, (B) DAMAGES AVAILABLE
FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ARTICLE 11, OR (C) DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT OR FRAUDULENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF A PARTY.

shall procure and maintain insurance during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of [***] ([***]) years following the
termination or expiration of this Agreement, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which are consistent with normal
business practices of prudent companies similarly situated. Such insurance shall be written by insurance companies with a

generality of the foregoing, Licensee’s insurance shall include, at minimum, the following coverages:

 

    40

     

    

 

(a)            commercial
general liability coverage with minimum per claim limits of at least [***] per occurrence and [***] annual aggregate, the policy(ies)

liability coverage covering all owned, hired and non-owned automobile equipment with minimum per claim limits of [***] per
occurrence and annual aggregate, the policy(ies) for which shall name VIVUS as an additional insured;

 

(c)            excess
liability/umbrella coverage with minimum per claim limits of at least [***] per occurrence and annual aggregate;

 

(d)            products liability coverage with

(e)            property
coverage having limits adequate for Product inventory in Licensee’s care, custody, and/or control and for Product in transit
to and from Licensee.

this ARTICLE 10. Licensee shall provide VIVUS with written evidence of such insurance upon written request. Licensee shall
provide VIVUS with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance
or self-insurance that materially adversely affects the rights of VIVUS hereunder.

 

ARTICLE 11 CONFIDENTIALITY

Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the receiving Party
agrees that, for the Term and for five (5) years thereafter, it shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise
disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement any Confidential Information of the disclosing
Party except for that portion of such information or materials that the receiving Party can demonstrate by competent proof:

    41

     

    

 

(d)            is
subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party or its Affiliate by a Third Party without obligations of confidentiality with respect

of Confidential Information.

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the receiving Party may disclose without violation of this Agreement such portion of the Confidential Information as
is required or permitted to be disclosed if, on the advice of counsel, it is required under Applicable Law or pursuant to legal
process to disclose such Confidential Information of the disclosing Party; provided that unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable
Law, the receiving Party first advises the disclosing Party of such intended disclosure and provides the disclosing Party with
the opportunity to seek appropriate judicial or administrative relief to avoid, or obtain confidential treatment of, such disclosure
at the disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense.

(c)            in
the case of VIVUS as the receiving Party, disclosure to its licensees, sublicensees, and collaborators with respect to the Product

concerns regarding the safety or efficacy of any Product; (ii) indicates or suggests a potential material liability of either
VIVUS or the applicable licensee, sublicensee, or collaborator to Third Parties in connection with any Product; (iii) is reasonably
likely to lead to a recall or market withdrawal of any Product; or (iv) relates to any Product and is reasonably likely to
have a material impact on a Regulatory Approval, Pricing Approval, or the Commercialization of any Product in such licensee’s,
sublicensee’s, or collaborator’s territory; provided that each such Person must be bound by obligations of confidentiality
and non-use no less stringent than those set forth in Section 11.1 prior to any such disclosure (it being understood that
receiving Party shall be liable for any breach of such confidentiality and non-use obligations by any such Person);

 

(d)            disclosure
to the receiving Party’s Affiliates’ and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, professional
advisors, bankers, lenders, insurers, sublicensees, suppliers and distributers only on a need-to-know basis and solely as necessary
in connection with this Agreement; provided that each such Person must be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use on
substantially similar terms as those set forth in Section 11.1 prior to any such disclosure (it being understood that receiving
Party shall be liable for any breach of such confidentiality and non-use obligations by any such Person);

a potential investment, acquisition, merger, or similar transaction; provided that each such Person must be bound by
obligations of confidentiality and non-use on substantially similar terms as those set forth in Section 11.1 prior to
any such disclosure (it being understood that the receiving Party shall be liable for any breach of such confidentiality and
non-use obligations by any such Person); and

 

(f)            disclosure
to any Financing Entity (and/or their respective consultants, attorneys, professional advisors) on a need-to-know basis and solely
for the purpose of evaluating a potential Debt Financing or similar transaction or the enforcement thereof; provided that each
such Person must be bound by written obligations of confidentiality and non-use on terms that are no less protective than those
set forth in Section 11.1 prior to any such disclosure (it being understood that the receiving Party shall be solely liable
for any breach of such confidentiality and non-use obligations by any such Person).

 

 11.3        Publicity; Terms of Agreement.

 

(a)            The
Parties agree that the material terms of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of both Parties, subject to the authorized
disclosure provisions set forth in Section 11.2 and this Section 11.3.

 

(b)            The
Parties have agreed to make a joint public announcement of the execution of this Agreement substantially in the form of the press
release attached as Exhibit D on or after the Effective Date. After release of such press release announcing this Agreement,
if either Party desires to make a public announcement concerning the material terms of this Agreement, such Party shall give reasonable
prior advance notice of the proposed text of such announcement to the other Party for its prior review and approval, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. A Party commenting on such a proposed press release shall provide its
comments, if any, within forty-eight (48) hours after receiving the press release for review. Neither Party shall be required to
seek the permission of the other Party to disclose any information already disclosed or otherwise in the public domain, provided
such information remains accurate.

 

(c)            Either
Party or any of its Affiliates (the “Filing Party”) may publicly disclose without violation of this Agreement,
such terms of this Agreement as are, on the advice of such Filing Party’s counsel, required by the rules and regulations
of the SEC or any other applicable entity having regulatory authority over such Filing Party’s securities; provided that
such Filing Party shall advise the other Party of such intended disclosure and request confidential treatment of certain commercial
terms and technical terms hereof to the extent such confidential treatment is reasonably available to such Filing Party. In the
event of any such filing, such Filing Party will provide such other Party, a reasonable time prior to filing, with a copy of the
Agreement marked to show provisions for which such Filing Party intends to seek confidential treatment and shall reasonably consider
and incorporate such other Party’s comments thereon to the extent consistent with the legal requirements applicable to such
Filing Party and that govern redaction of information from material agreements that must be publicly filed. Such other Party shall
provide the Filing Party any such comments as promptly as practicable. The intention of the Parties is to agree upon a single redacted
version of the Agreement to be filed with the SEC or any other applicable entity.

ARTICLE 12

TERM AND TERMINATION

 

12.1        Term.
This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this ARTICLE 12,
shall remain in effect until the expiration of the last-to-expire payment obligation in ARTICLE 7 (the “Term”).
Upon the expiration of the Term, the licenses and covenant in Sections 2.1 and 2.9 shall become fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual
and irrevocable.

 

 12.2        Termination For Cause, Convenience, or Generic Entry.

 

(a)            Material
Breach.     Either Party shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement, upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party, after receiving written notice from the terminating
Party identifying a material breach by such other Party of its obligations under

 

this Agreement, fails to cure (or if not curable within
such time period, adopt a plan for cure during such time period) such material breach within [***] from the date of such
notice (or, in the case of payment obligations, [***] from
the date of such notice); provided, however, that in the event the non-terminating Party contests any such asserted breach in
good faith and diligently pursues the dispute resolution procedures set forth in ARTICLE 13, such [***] cure period
shall be tolled or suspended until the final resolution of such dispute pursuant to the terms of, and in accordance with, the
terms and provisions of ARTICLE 13, subject to any exercise by MTPC of its right of termination of the MTPC Agreement
due to any material breach of the provisions or conditions of the MTPC Agreement arising from the facts or circumstances that
resulted in the material breach by such non-terminating Party hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any
uncured material breach by Licensee of its obligations hereunder, VIVUS shall only exercise its right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 12.2(a) to the extent that MTPC exercises its right of termination of the MTPC
Agreement due to a material breach of the MTPC Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt (and without limiting VIVUS’
remedies for any other breaches by Licensee), Licensee’s uncured failure to pay the amounts set forth in
Section 7.1 by the deadlines set forth therein shall each be deemed to be a material breach

 

(b)            Government
Action. VIVUS shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Licensee if Licensee is excluded
from participation in United States federal healthcare programs and fails to cure such exclusion within one hundred twenty (120)
days.

 

(c)            Licensee
Termination for Convenience. Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason upon one hundred eighty
(180) days prior written notice to VIVUS.

 

(d)            Licensee
Termination Upon Generic Entry. Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon a Generic Entry after
providing thirty (30) days written notice. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from VIVUS, Licensee shall
reimburse VIVUS for any cancelation fees, penalties, or other payments owed by VIVUS to a Third Party as a direct result of
such termination, as well as any other non-cancelable expenses reasonably incurred by VIVUS in connection with its
obligations under this Agreement or the Commercial Supply Agreement prior to the effective date of termination.

 

    44

     

    

 

12.3        Termination
for Patent Challenge. VIVUS may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to Licensee if Licensee or any
Affiliate, directly or indirectly, individually or in association with any other person or entity, commences any action or proceeding
that challenges the validity or enforceability of any VIVUS Patent in the Licensee Territory, except if such action or proceeding
is commenced in response to a claim asserted by VIVUS against Licensee or the Licensee Affiliate for infringement of such VIVUS
Patent. In the event Licensee is aware that a sublicensee of its license rights hereunder, directly or indirectly, individually
or in association with any other person or entity, commences any action or proceeding that challenges the validity, enforceability
or scope of any VIVUS Patent in the Licensee Territory, Licensee shall promptly terminate the applicable sublicense. If Licensee
does not terminate such sublicense within thirty (30) days of Licensee being made aware of such challenge by VIVUS, VIVUS may terminate
this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to Licensee.

 

12.4        Termination
Upon Bankruptcy. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately by providing written notice, if:
(a) the other Party applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or
of all or a substantial part of its assets, (b) the other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
(c) the other Party is dissolved or liquidated in full or in substantial part, (d) the other Party commences a voluntary
case under Chapter 7 (a “Chapter 7 Case”) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “United States
Bankruptcy Code”) or consents to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any
official in such an involuntary case or such other proceeding commenced against it, (e) the other Party takes any corporate
action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing, (f) a case under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
in respect of such Party is converted to a Chapter 7 Case, or (g) the other Party becomes the subject of an involuntary Chapter
7 Case or other proceeding seeking liquidation with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law now or hereafter in effect that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after commencement.

 

12.5        Effect of Termination of the
Agreement. Except as provided in this Section 12.5 upon
any termination of this Agreement other than the expiration of the Term, the following shall apply (in addition to any other
rights and obligations under Section 12.6 or otherwise under this Agreement with respect to such
termination):

 

(a)            The
License. The License shall terminate (and, as between the Parties, all rights in the VIVUS Technology shall revert to VIVUS);
provided that in the event that Licensee terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2(a) or 12.4, the License shall
remain in full force and effect (but on a non-exclusive basis), solely to the extent necessary to permit Licensee, its Affiliates,
or its sublicenses to sell any inventories of Products in the Licensee Territory pursuant to Section 12.5(f). For the avoidance
of doubt, Section 2.9 shall not apply to any activities after the effective date of termination, except for those activities
permitted by Section 12.5(f).

 

    45

     

    

 

(b)            VIVUS
License. The VIVUS License (other than Section 2.3(a)) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In addition, in
the event of any termination of this Agreement other than by Licensee pursuant to Section 12.2(a) or 12.4, Licensee shall
automatically grant to VIVUS a non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license under the Licensee Technology,
to use, make, have made, distribute, import, Develop, Promote, market, sell, offer for sale, and otherwise Commercialize Products
in the Field in the Licensee Territory.

 

(c)            Marks.
Upon any expiration or early termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall and hereby agrees to sell, assign, convey, transfer
and deliver all rights in the Assigned Trademarks, any goodwill associated therewith, and all rights in and to any of the foregoing,
to VIVUS, and Licensee shall assign to VIVUS any Licensee Trademarks incorporating the mark STENDRA that are Controlled by Licensee
and then being used to Commercialize Product in the Licensee Territory, but expressly excluding (i) Licensee’s corporate
name, (ii) any other mark that incorporates or is derived from Licensee’s corporate names, and (iii) any other
proprietary mark of Licensee that is used by Licensee independently of the Product, provided that in the event of expiration of
this Agreement, to the extent that Licensee continues to Commercialize the Product in the Licensee Territory under the Assigned
Trademarks, then upon written request by Licensee, VIVUS agrees to waive the right to have the ownership of the Assigned Trademarks
transferred to VIVUS so long as Licensee pays the Trademark Royalty Payments in accordance with Exhibit C.

 

(d)            Regulatory
Materials. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Licensee shall transfer and assign to VIVUS all Regulatory Materials,
Regulatory Approvals, and Pricing Approvals with respect to Product that are Controlled by Licensee or its Affiliates, if any;
provided that in the event that Licensee terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2(a) or 12.4, Licensee
shall be permitted (on a non-exclusive basis) to sell under such Regulatory Materials, Regulatory Approvals, and Pricing Approvals
any inventories of Products in the Licensee Territory to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 12.5(f). The Parties agree
that any failure by Licensee to perform its obligation to transfer and assign the Product Marketing Authorization to VIVUS following
termination in accordance with this section may cause irreparable harm to VIVUS, for which damages may not be an adequate remedy.
Therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages
for breach of this Agreement, VIVUS shall be entitled to seek specific performance of such obligation, along with such other and
further equitable relief as a court may deem proper under the circumstances.

 

(e)            Transition
Assistance. In the event of any early termination of this Agreement, to the extent the Transition Services Agreement has
not expired, at VIVUS’ request, Licensee shall promptly transfer and assign to VIVUS all of Licensee’s rights,
title, interest in, liabilities and obligations under the Transition Services Agreement; provided that, Licensee shall be
responsible for any liabilities and obligations accrued by Licensee under the Transition Services Agreement prior to the
effective date of such transfer and assignment, subject to VIVUS’ indemnification obligations under Section 10.1
hereof. In the event of any termination of this Agreement other than termination by Licensee pursuant to
Section 12.2(a) or 12.4, Licensee shall provide reasonable assistance, at no cost to VIVUS, as may be reasonably
necessary for VIVUS to commence or continue Developing, manufacturing and Commercializing the Products in the Licensee
Territory, including without limitation, upon request of VIVUS, using commercially reasonable efforts to transfer any
agreements or arrangements with distributors that apply solely to the sale or supply of Product in the Licensee
Territory.

 

    46

     

    

 

(f)            Sell-Through
of Inventory. For a period of six (6) months following the effective date of termination, Licensee, its Affiliates, and
its sublicensees may sell or otherwise dispose of the inventory of Product then on hand or in production or for which substantial
preparation for manufacture has been made or which they are legally obligated to supply, provided that this provision shall not
limit, and Licensee shall satisfy, Licensee’s obligations under the Commercial Supply Agreement with respect to any minimum
purchase requirements or related obligations thereunder.

 

(g)            Sublicense
Agreements. The Parties agree that upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all sublicenses granted by Licensee to
Affiliates or Third Parties under the VIVUS Technology shall immediately terminate.

 

(h)            Certain
Pre-Termination Liabilities. Following termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall retain liability for payment of all gross
to net sales deductions (including returns, rebates and chargeback) of Products that were sold prior to the effective date of termination.
To the extent that that any such deductions are charged to or otherwise borne by VIVUS, Licensee shall reimburse VIVUS promptly
(but in any event no later than thirty (30) days) following Licensee’s receipt of an invoice therefor. For the avoidance
of doubt, the foregoing is not intended to prevent Licensee from properly deducting the Net Sales Deductions when calculating Net
Sales.

 

(i)            Sales
Volume. Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that the average monthly sales volume of each Product
leading up to the effective date of termination does not substantially exceed the average monthly sales volume of such Product
for the six (6) month period prior to date of the notice of termination, and in any event Licensee shall not take any affirmative
action to cause such outcome.

 

12.6        Accrued
Liabilities; Other Remedies. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from
any liability or obligation that already has accrued prior to such expiration or termination (including any milestone or other
payment that has been triggered by an event occurring prior to the effective date of termination or expiration), nor affect the
survival of any provision hereof to the extent it is expressly stated to survive such termination. Termination or expiration of
this Agreement for any reason shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise be deemed to prejudice or adversely affect,
any rights, remedies or claims, whether for damages or otherwise, that a Party may have hereunder or that may arise out of or in
connection with such termination or expiration.

 

12.7        Rights
in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by VIVUS and Licensee are, and shall
otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights
to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Parties
agree that each Party, as licensee of certain rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its
rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of (i) the
commencement of a case by or against a Party (such Party, the “Debtor”) under the United States Bankruptcy
Code, (ii) the rejection of this Agreement by the Debtor pursuant to section 365 of the United States Bankruptcy Code,
and (iii) the election of the other Party to retain its rights under section 365(n)(1)(B) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code, then the other Party shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate)
any intellectual property licensed to such other Party and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not
already in such other Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it following the rejection of this Agreement
by the Debtor upon written request therefor by the other Party.

 

    47

     

    

 

12.8        Survival.
The following provisions shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: ARTICLE 1, 10, 11, 13, 14 and
Sections 7.6, 8.1, 12.5, 12.6, 12.7, and 12.8.

 

ARTICLE 13 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

13.1        Disputes.
The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term which relate to either
Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the
resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation.
To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this ARTICLE 13 if and when a dispute
arises under this Agreement.

 

(a)            Referred
from Committee. Any disputes, controversies or differences which may arise from the JSC pursuant to ARTICLE 3 shall be
resolved in accordance with Section 3.5.

 

(b)            Good
Faith Resolution. Any disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the Parties out of or in relation to or
in connection with this Agreement, including any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or any issue relating
to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, then upon the request of either Party, the Parties agree to meet and discuss
in good faith a possible resolution thereof, which good faith efforts shall include at least one (1) in-person meeting between
the chief executive officers of each Party. If the matter is not resolved within thirty (30) days following the request for discussions,
either Party may then invoke the provisions of Section 13.2.

 

13.2        Arbitration. Any
dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, interpretation, enforceability,
breach, performance, application or termination of this Agreement that is not resolved pursuant to Section 13.1, except
for a dispute, claim or controversy under Section 13.10, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS
pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS then in effect (the “JAMS
Rules”), except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Federal
Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (the “Federal Arbitration Act”), to the exclusion of any
inconsistent state laws. The United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure shall govern discovery and the rules of
evidence for the arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York and the Parties consent to the personal
jurisdiction of the United States federal courts, for any case arising out of or otherwise related to this
arbitration, its conduct and its enforcement. Any situation not expressly covered by this Agreement shall be decided in
accordance with the JAMS Rules.

 

    48

     

    

 

13.3        Arbitrator.
The arbitrator shall be one (1) neutral, independent and impartial arbitrator selected from a pool of retired federal
judges or magistrates to be presented to the Parties by JAMS. Failing the agreement of the Parties as to the selection of the arbitrator
within thirty (30) days, the arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Rules.

 

13.4        Decision.
The power of the arbitrator to fashion procedures and remedies within the scope of this Agreement is recognized by the Parties
as essential to the success of the arbitration process. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to fashion remedies which would
not be available to a federal judge hearing the same dispute. The arbitrator is encouraged to operate on this premise in an effort
to reach a fair and just decision. Reasons for the arbitrator’s decisions should be set forth in accordance with the JAMS
Rules. Such a written decision shall be rendered by the arbitrator following a full comprehensive hearing, no later than 6 months
following the selection of the arbitrator as provided for in Section 13.3.

 

13.5        Award.
Any award shall be promptly paid in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and any costs, fees or taxes
incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, be charged against the Party resisting
enforcement. Each Party agrees to abide by the award rendered in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this ARTICLE 13, and
agrees that, subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, judgment may be entered upon the final award in any court of competent jurisdiction
and that other courts may award full faith and credit to such judgment in order to enforce such award. The award shall include
interest from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate fixed by the arbitrator and the arbitrator may, in his or her
discretion, award pre judgment interest. With respect to money damages, nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the
arbitrator or any court or any other forum to award punitive or exemplary damages. By entering into this agreement to arbitrate,
the Parties expressly waive any claim for punitive or exemplary damages.

 

13.6        Costs.
Each Party shall bear its own legal fees. The arbitrator shall assess his or her costs, fees and expenses against the Party
losing the arbitration and shall require such losing Party to reimburse the other Party for all of its reasonable attorneys’
fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy
charges, travel expenses, and so on). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the arbitrator believes that neither Party is the clear
loser, the arbitrator shall divide his or her costs, fees, and expenses according to his or her sole discretion, and each Party
shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration.

 

13.7        Injunctive
Relief. Provided a Party has made a sufficient showing under the rules and standards set forth in the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable case law, the arbitrator shall have the freedom to invoke, and the Parties agree
to abide by, injunctive measures after either Party submits in writing for arbitration claims requiring immediate relief.
Additionally, nothing in this ARTICLE 13 will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief or interim or
provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or
other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the
interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding.

 

    49

     

    

 

13.8        Confidentiality.
The arbitration proceeding shall be confidential and the arbitrator shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard
each Party’s Confidential Information. Except as required to comply with Applicable Laws, including rules and regulations
promulgated by the SEC, The NASDAQ Stock Market or any securities exchanges, no Party shall make (or instruct the arbitrator to
make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrator without prior written consent of the
other Party. The existence of any dispute submitted to arbitration, and the award, shall be kept in confidence by the Parties and
the arbitrator, except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

 

13.9        Survivability.
Any duty to arbitrate under this Agreement shall remain in effect and be enforceable after termination of this Agreement for
any reason.

 

 13.10      Patent and Trademark Disputes; Financing Entity Disputes.

 

(a)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE 13, any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the scope, validity, enforceability
or infringement of the VIVUS Patents, Assigned Trademarks, Licensee Patents, Licensee Trademarks or Joint Patents shall be submitted
to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such patent or trademark rights were granted or arose.

 

(b)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE 13, any Financing Entity may bring a proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction
located in the State of New York solely to enforce its rights under Sections 5.1(c), 13.10(b), 14.1, 14.5 and 14.8 hereof. Such
courts of competent jurisdiction located in the State of New York shall have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction to hear and adjudicate
any claims pursuant to this Section 13.10(b).

 

ARTICLE 14

 MISCELLANEOUS

 

14.1        Entire
Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, together with the letter agreement dated
September 30th, 2016 between VIVUS and Hercules Capital, Inc., and the terms of the MTPC Agreement which are
incorporated herein by reference, sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises,
agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions
or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as are set forth herein and therein. No subsequent
alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and
signed by an authorized officer of each Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.1, no
amendment of the definitions of “Financing Entity,” “Financing Default,” “Qualified
Assignee,” or “Permitted Assignment” or Sections 5.1(c), 13.1013.10(b), 14.1, 14.5 and 14.8 hereof that
effects the rights of any Financing Entity shall be effective without the prior written consent of each Financing
Entity.

 

    50

     

    

 

14.2            Force
Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such
performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party.
Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes
reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall mean conditions beyond the control
of the Parties, including an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default
of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe,
and failure of plant or machinery (provided that such failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill, diligence,
and prudence that would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and experienced person engaged in the same type of
undertaking under the same or similar circumstances). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments
owed hereunder because of a force majeure affecting such Party.

 

14.3            Notices.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement,
and shall be addressed to the appropriate Party at the address specified below or such other address as may be specified by such
Party in writing in accordance with this Section 14.3, and shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes when received,

14.5            Assignment. Neither
Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the

occurrence of a Financing Default to any Qualified Assignee that is a successor to or assignee of all or substantially all of
the assets or business of Licensee to which this Agreement pertains; provided that any assignment to a Financing Entity or a
Qualified Assignee in connection with a Financing Default must also include an agreement, in writing, signed by such
Financing Entity or Qualified Assignee, as applicable, to assume performance of all of Licensee’s rights and
obligations, and assume all of Licensee’s outstanding liabilities (including any and all liabilities that accrued prior
to such assignment, but excluding liabilities under Sections 9.4(b) and 10.2 hereof), provided that in the case of

legal proceeding or government investigation).

Law. Resolution of all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the validity, construction, interpretation,
enforcement, breach, performance, application or termination of this Agreement and any remedies relating thereto, shall be governed

that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties
and their successors and permitted assigns. No provision of this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or will be
deemed to confer upon Third Parties any right, benefit, remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other
right of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement other than (i) the Parties and, to the extent
provided in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, the Indemnified Parties and (ii) any Financing Entity solely with respect to
Sections 5.1(c), 13.10(b), 14.1, 14.5, and this Section (and the Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each Financing

14.5, and this Section 14.8). Without limitation, this Agreement will not be construed so as to grant employees of
either Party in any country any rights against the other Party pursuant to the laws of such country.

 

14.9            Performance
by Affiliates. Any obligation of VIVUS under or pursuant to this Agreement may be satisfied, met or fulfilled, in whole or
in part, at VIVUS’ sole and exclusive option, either by VIVUS directly or by any Affiliate of VIVUS that VIVUS causes to
satisfy, meet or fulfill such obligation, in whole or in part. Any obligation of Licensee under or pursuant to this Agreement may
be satisfied, met or fulfilled, in whole or in part, at Licensee’s sole and exclusive option, either by Licensee directly
or by any Affiliate of Licensee that Licensee causes to satisfy, meet or fulfill such obligation, in whole or in part. Each of
the Parties guarantees the performance of all actions, agreements and obligations to be performed by any Affiliates of such Party
under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement
in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this
Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation
to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.

 

14.10          Further
Assurances and Actions. Each Party, upon the request of the other Party, without further consideration, will do, execute, acknowledge,
and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged or delivered all such further acts, deeds, documents, assignments, transfers,
conveyances, powers of attorney, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to effect complete consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry
out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. The Parties agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements
and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate or implement expeditiously
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

14.11          Severability.
If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction
from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision shall be considered
severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith
effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated
by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

Section 9.2

 

		1.	Hetero ANDA Filing

 

On June 20, 2016, VIVUS received a
Paragraph IV certification notice from Hetero USA, Inc. indicating that it filed an ANDA with the FDA, requesting approval
to market a generic version of STENDRA and contending that patents listed for STENDRA in the Orange Book at the time of the notice
(U.S. Patents 6,656,935, and 7,501,409) (collectively “Patents-in-suit”) are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not
be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of a generic form of STENDRA as described in their ANDA. On July 27, 2016, VIVUS
filed the Hetero Litigation addressed in Section 8.4(b) on the basis that Hetero’s submission of their ANDA to
obtain approval to manufacture, use, sell, or offer for sale generic versions of STENDRA prior to the expiration of the Patents-in-suit
constitutes infringement of one or more claims of those patents.

 

		2.	Supplement Request

 

The FDA Assessment addressed in Section 5.2(b) remains
unpaid.

VIVUS AND METUCHEN PHARMACEUTICALS ANNOUNCE
LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR COMMERCIAL RIGHTS TO STENDRA

 

VIVUS grants an exclusive license to
Metuchen Pharmaceuticals for STENDRA® (avanafil) commercial rights in the U.S., Canada, South America and
India

 

MOUNTAIN VIEW,
CA and CRANFORD, NJ – September 30, 2016 - VIVUS, Inc. (NASDAQ: VVUS; “VIVUS”) and Metuchen
Pharmaceuticals LLC (“Metuchen”) today announced the signing of an agreement providing Metuchen, a fully-paid,
perpetual license for exclusive rights to commercialize STENDRA® (avanafil) in the U.S., Canada, South America
and India. The parties simultaneously signed a commercial supply agreement pursuant to which VIVUS will be responsible for
the manufacture and supply of STENDRA to Metuchen for a mutually agreed term. For a period of 180 days, Metuchen has the
option to assume the manufacturing and supply rights of STENDRA for its territories. Under the license agreement, VIVUS
received $70 million. Additionally, Metuchen will be responsible for royalties due to Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation
based on net sales.

 

STENDRA is an oral phosphodiesterase
type 5 inhibitor. STENDRA was approved by the FDA in April 2012 for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in the United
States and sold under the trade name SPEDRA in the European Union.

 

“We are excited to announce
our commercial collaboration with Metuchen. Metuchen management’s strong commercial experience positions them well to take
advantage of

 

STENDRA’s strong clinical
profile within the $3.5 billion erectile dysfunction market. With a 15 minute onset of action, the ability to be taken with
food or alcohol and a strong side- effect profile, STENDRA commercialization with Metuchen will optimize the brand’s
potential,” stated Seth H. Z. Fischer, VIVUS CEO. “This collaboration is the first announcement to arise out of
the strategic business review process announced earlier this year, and we look forward to providing additional updates in the
coming months.”

 

About Avanafil

 

STENDRA® (avanafil) is approved
in the U.S. by the FDA for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC has exclusive marketing rights to
STENDRA in the U.S., Canada, South America and India.

 

STENDRA is available through retail and
mail order pharmacies.

 

SPEDRATM, the trade name
for avanafil in the EU, is approved by the EMA for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in the EU. VIVUS has granted an exclusive

erectile dysfunction in over 40 European countries plus Australia and New Zealand.

 

VIVUS has granted an exclusive license
to Sanofi to commercialize avanafil in Africa, the Middle East, Turkey, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) including

Important Safety Information

 

STENDRA® (avanafil)
is prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).

 

Do not take STENDRA if you take
nitrates, often prescribed for chest pain, as this may cause a sudden, unsafe drop in blood pressure.

 

Discuss your general health
status with your healthcare provider to ensure that you are healthy enough to engage in sexual activity. If you experience chest
pain, nausea, or any other discomforts during sex, seek immediate medical help.

 

STENDRA may affect the way other
medicines work. Tell your healthcare provider if you take any of the following; medicines called HIV protease inhibitors, such
as ritonavir (Norvir®), indinavir (Crixivan®), saquinavir (Fortavase® or Invirase®)
or atazanavir (Reyataz®); some types of oral antifungal medicines, such as ketoconazole (Nizoral®),
and itraconazole (Sporanox®); or some types of antibiotics, such as clarithromycin (Biaxin®), telithromycin
(Ketek®), or erythromycin.

 

In the rare event of an erection
lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help to avoid long-term injury.

 

In rare instances, men taking
PDE5 inhibitors (oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including STENDRA) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision. It is not
possible to determine whether these events are related directly to these medicines or to other factors. If you experience sudden
decrease or loss of vision, stop taking PDE5 inhibitors, including STENDRA, and call a doctor right away.

 

Sudden decrease or loss of hearing
has been rarely reported in people taking PDE5 inhibitors, including STENDRA. It is not possible to determine whether these events
are related directly to the PDE5 inhibitors or to

other factors. If you experience sudden
decrease or loss of hearing, stop taking STENDRA and contact a doctor right away. If you have prostate problems or high blood pressure
for which you take medicines called alpha blockers or other anti-hypertensives, your doctor may start you on a lower dose of STENDRA.

 

Drinking too much alcohol when taking STENDRA
may lead to headache, dizziness, and lower blood pressure.

 

STENDRA in combination with other treatments
for ED is not recommended.

 

STENDRA does not protect against sexually
transmitted diseases, including HIV.

 

The most common side effects of STENDRA
are headache, flushing, runny nose and congestion.

 

Please see full patient prescribing information
for STENDRA (50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg) tablets.

2.            SUPPLY
OF PRODUCTS 

 

2.1
         Supply of Product.

 

(a)           Supply
and Purchase of Product. During the Term, and subject to the provisions herein, VIVUS shall manufacture, test, and supply
the Product to Purchaser or its designee, directly or through one or more Third Party subcontractors. Purchaser shall purchase
the Product from VIVUS, and VIVUS shall supply Product to Purchaser, pursuant to Purchase Orders submitted to VIVUS by Purchaser,
from time to time in accordance with Section 2.3. VIVUS shall ensure that the Product manufactured by Sanofi on behalf
of VIVUS and delivered to Purchaser (other than shipments out of the Current Inventory pursuant to Section 2.5) has
a minimum remaining shelf life of not less than eighteen (18) months.

 

(b)           VIVUS’
Third Party Supplier. Without limiting or modifying any of VIVUS’ obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges
that, as of the Effective Date, VIVUS obtains Product solely from Sanofi and that VIVUS will continue to obtain Product solely
from Sanofi unless and until VIVUS, with the assistance and cooperation of Purchaser, is able to qualify with the FDA a Third
Party manufacturer with the ability to manufacture Product in accordance with the Specifications, cGMP, and Applicable Law as
a manufacturer of Compound and bulk tablets of Product. Purchaser agrees to cooperate and provide any such assistance at VIVUS’
reasonable request.

 

(c)           Exclusive
Arrangement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to purchase from VIVUS, and VIVUS
agrees to manufacture and provide to Purchaser, all of Purchaser’s requirements for Product. VIVUS shall be free to supply
Product to any Third Party worldwide, subject to the exclusive rights granted to Purchaser and obligations assumed by VIVUS pursuant
to the License Agreement.

 

2.2         Forecasts.
Purchaser will submit to VIVUS, no later than the 15th day of the month preceding the start of every calendar quarter (i.e.,
December 15, March 15, June 15, and September 15) during the Term, a rolling forecast (“Forecast”)
setting forth an estimate of the total quantity of Product that Purchaser reasonably believes it will purchase during the eight
(8) calendar quarters commencing with the beginning of the subsequent calendar quarter, along with estimated shipment dates.
Such Forecast shall not be binding on either Party except as provided in this Agreement.

 

2.3         Purchase
Orders. Purchaser shall purchase Product by written purchase orders (“Purchase Orders”), submitted to VIVUS
at least [***] in advance of the desired shipment date specified therein. For each calendar quarter, Purchaser shall be required
to submit Purchase Orders for at least [***] of the quantities in the Forecast for such calendar quarter submitted by Purchaser
to VIVUS [***] months prior to the start of such calendar quarter (the “Binding Forecast”), and VIVUS will
have no obligation to supply Product in excess of [***] ([***])
of the quantity specified in such Binding Forecast, but will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply such excess Product.
Each Purchase Order shall specify, at a minimum, the applicable volume of each dosage strength of Product ordered, and
the requested delivery date. Upon receipt of a Purchase Order, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1, VIVUS shall supply
the Product in such quantities and deliver the Product to Purchaser (or Purchaser’s designee) on such delivery dates.
VIVUS is not obligated to accept verbal orders of any kind for the supply of Product hereunder. To the extent there is any conflict
or inconsistency between this Agreement and any Purchase Order, this Agreement shall govern. If a new Third Party manufacturer
has been appointed by VIVUS, then the lead times (i.e. the time between the finalizing of a Purchase Order and the delivery
of the Product) for Purchase Orders set forth above may not be lengthened without the prior written consent of Purchaser, not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

 

    	 	-4-	 

     

    

 

2.4         Minimum
Purchase Requirements. For 2016 and for each subsequent calendar year during the Term, Purchaser shall be required to either
(a) purchase no less than the Minimum Purchase Obligation from VIVUS in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) reimburse
VIVUS, in cash, for the shortfall as it relates to VIVUS’ out of pocket cost to acquire the API to manufacture the bulk
Product subject to such Minimum Purchase Obligation. For clarity, upon any termination of this Agreement other than by Purchaser
under Section 9.2(a) or pursuant to Section 9.4, Purchaser’s obligations under Section 2.4
shall accelerate for the entire then-current Initial Period or Renewal Period, as applicable, and become due, and Purchaser
shall be required to pay VIVUS, in cash, an amount equal to VIVUS’ anticipated out of pocket cost to acquire such quantities
of API as that which correspond to the Purchaser’s Minimum Purchase Obligations for the entire then-current Initial Period
or Renewal Period, as applicable. VIVUS acknowledges and agrees that VIVUS’ sole remedy for Purchaser’s failure to
meet its Minimum Purchase Obligation is set forth in this Section 2.4 and that the Minimum Purchase Obligation is
not a guarantee by Purchaser that any specific sales level will be obtained with respect to the Product. With respect to the minimum
purchase requirements for 2016 only, any quantities of bulk Product purchased in excess of the Minimum Purchase Obligation for
2016 shall be credited against the Minimum Purchase Obligation for 2017 as set forth in Exhibit C. Purchaser’s orders
of Current Inventory (including the order made pursuant to Section 2.5(b) below) shall not be counted towards
the satisfaction of the Minimum Purchase Obligation.

 

2.5
         Initial Shipments of Product.

 

(a)           The
Current Inventory of Product is, as of the Effective Date, being stored at Sharp Corporation (“Sharp”) at 7451
Keebler Way, Allentown, PA 18106. Upon payment in full to VIVUS of the lesser of (i) the aggregate Manufacturing Cost for
the full quantities of Product in the Current Inventory and (ii) [***], VIVUS shall transfer to Purchaser ownership of the
Current Inventory, in accordance with this Section 2.5.

 

(b)           Purchaser
hereby submits a binding order for the full quantities of the Current Inventory. As set forth in Section 3.1, the
transfer price for the quantities of Product ordered pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) shall be the Price. Upon
payment in full to VIVUS of the Price for the full quantities of Product in the Current Inventory, Current Inventory will be sold
to Purchaser EXW (Incoterms 2010) Sharp’s facilities and title to such quantities of Product shall automatically pass to
Purchaser.

 

(c)           For
all Product transferred to Purchaser under this Section 2.5, Purchaser shall be responsible, at Purchaser’s
sole cost, for transport and distribution of such Product. Purchaser may use any Third Party that it designates for Product packaging,
but Purchaser shall be responsible for the cost of validation if the packager is any Third Party other than Sharp, as well as
any costs associated with transporting Product to such other packager. VIVUS shall ensure that all Current Inventory delivered
to Purchaser under this Agreement has a minimum remaining shelf life of not less than eighteen (18) months.

 

2.6
        Delivery and Shipping Terms. Product supplied hereunder shall be
shipped EXW (Incoterms 2010) Sanofi’s manufacturing facility (or, if applicable, the manufacturing facility of any other
manufacturer being utilized by VIVUS for manufacturing Product) directly to the packaging facility or other location designated
by Purchaser. Title to the Product and risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser at the time of delivery of the Product to the Third
Party shipper at the loading dock of the manufacturing facility. Purchaser shall arrange for all shipping, insurance freight,
custom duties, and other charges associated with, the shipment, and the cost of the foregoing will be paid by Purchaser. VIVUS
shall issue (or shall have its manufacturer issue) to Purchaser in advance of shipment a Certificate of Analysis (each, a “COA”)
and Certificate of Compliance (each, a “COC”) for each shipment of Product (including Current Inventory) delivered
to Purchaser. Each COA shall be accompanied by batch documentation for each lot of delivered Product and shall certify that the
Product conforms to the Specifications, this Agreement, and the Quality Agreement along with the results of such analysis and
any supporting data. Purchaser will be under no obligation to accept any shipment of Product for which VIVUS has not provided
a COA and/or COC or which Purchaser reasonably believes does not comply with the COA or COC at the time the Product was delivered
to Purchaser. VIVUS will be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Purchaser with respect to the storage, shipment,
return, or at VIVUS’ direction, destruction, of such non-conforming shipment.

 

    	 	-5-	 

     

    

 

2.7         Packaging
and Labeling. VIVUS will supply Product to Purchaser in the form of bulk tablets. Purchaser shall be responsible, at its sole
expense, for packaging and labeling the Product for commercial sale. Any labels, product inserts, and other packaging for the
Product shall be consistent with then-current approved NDA for the Product and with Applicable Law. VIVUS’ name will not
appear on the label or anywhere else on the commercial packaging of the Product unless: (a) required by any Applicable Laws;
(b) VIVUS consents in writing to the use of its name; or (c) such Product is in the Current Inventory.

 

2.8         Supply
Disruption. If VIVUS is unable to supply confirmed orders to Purchaser with respect to the quantity or the delivery date (a
 “Supply Disruption”), or if VIVUS believes that a Supply Disruption is reasonably likely to occur based on
Purchaser’s confirmed and/or forecasted orders, VIVUS shall provide Purchaser with prompt written notice of such inability
or belief. In the event of a Supply Disruption, VIVUS shall be obliged to allocate the available Product among Purchaser and any
other licensees and/or authorized distributors of Product worldwide, proportionally based on the volume of Product orders of Purchaser
and such other licensees and distributors. The “volume of Product orders” will be calculated based on (a) orders
for Product that were delivered during the preceding six (6) months or that are then in transit (excluding in each case any
orders where payment therefor is delinquent), and (b)          the
binding portion of any outstanding purchase orders or forecasts. In the event of a Supply Disruption, notwithstanding Section 2.1(c),
Purchaser shall be permitted to obtain from another source the quantities of Product that VIVUS is unable to supply. In the absence
of gross negligence or willful misconduct, this Section 2.8 describes Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy,
and VIVUS’ sole and exclusive liability, for any Supply Disruption; provided, that if VIVUS actually recovers direct
contract damages from its Third Party manufacturer or supplier in connection with a Supply Disruption, VIVUS shall pass through
to Purchaser its allocable portion (which shall be calculated and allocated proportionally based on the volume of Product orders
of Purchaser and such other licensees and distributors, as described above in this Section 2.8) of such recovery amount.
In the event of any Supply Disruption that results in more than twenty-five percent (25%) of ordered Product in any four (4) month
period arriving at the delivery location more than (60) days after the intended delivery date, Purchaser shall be relieved of
any further obligation during the then-current calendar year to purchase the Minimum Purchase Obligation for such calendar year;
provided that to the extent any such Supply Disruption results in the delivery of any such quantity of Product after December 31st
of the relevant calendar year, such late-delivered quantities shall be credited against the Minimum Purchase Obligation of the
immediately following calendar year. In the event a Supply Disruption affects the quantities of Product available for Commercialization
in a subsequent year, the Parties will meet and negotiate in good faith a possible reduction of the Minimum Purchase Obligation
for such subsequent year, which reduction shall take into account (i) the reasonably likely commercial effect of the Supply
Disruption and (ii) VIVUS’ respective minimum purchase obligations under any arrangements or agreements with any Third
Parties (including Sanofi).

 

2.9         Post-Delivery
Handling and Release. After delivery of the Product to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Quality
Agreement, any handling, storage, quality control, quality assurance, and the release of the Product shall be the sole responsibility
of Purchaser or its designated Third Party.

2.10        Stability
Testing. VIVUS shall be responsible for conducting all stability testing required under the NDA with respect to the active
pharmaceutical ingredient in the Compound (“API”) and the bulk Product, and Purchaser shall be responsible
for conducting such stability testing with respect to the Finished Product. VIVUS shall, at Purchaser’s reasonable request
and expense, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (a) make relevant VIVUS personnel available for consultation during normal
business hours and (b) provide underlying documentation, in each case (a) and (b), for analytical methods transfer,
including supply of API standard and impurities per Product specification.

 

2.11
        Technology Transfer.

 

(a)           Cooperation.
Upon (i) termination of this Agreement by Purchaser as a result of VIVUS’ uncured material breach, (ii) in the
event of a Supply Disruption, (iii) upon mutual agreement of the Parties on a Supply Chain Transfer Plan in accordance with
Section 6.2 of the License Agreement, (iv) in the event that VIVUS provides a notice to Purchaser under Section 2.8,
(v) upon an event of Force Majeure preventing the timely supply of Product hereunder for a period anticipated to exceed ninety
(90) days, or (vi) upon a breach by VIVUS which permits Purchaser to terminate this Agreement, VIVUS shall provide Purchaser
with such assistance and any VIVUS Know-How Controlled by VIVUS, as reasonably necessary for manufacturing, formulating and/or
packaging of the Product, as the case may be (a “Technology Transfer”). In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser
shall be permitted to consult with VIVUS’ technical personnel on the specified manufacturing activities and, to the extent
necessary, VIVUS shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to permit Purchaser to consult with VIVUS’ Third Party manufacturers.
Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall choose whether to exercise its rights in connection with a Technology Transfer.

 

(b)           Manufacturing
Rights. Notwithstanding any Technology Transfer pursuant to Section 2.11(a), Purchaser’s right to manufacture
or have manufactured Product shall be limited to the rights described in Section 2.2 of the License Agreement, plus the additional
manufacturing rights described in Section 2.8 in connection with a Supply Disruption.

 

(c)           Technology
Transfer Costs. In connection with a Technology Transfer pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(iii), Purchaser shall
be responsible for paying VIVUS’ actual costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Technology Transfer, including
FTE costs, out-of-pocket expenses and any technology transfer fees payable to any other Third Party; provided, however,
VIVUS shall bear all costs related to any Method Transfer and any other transfer costs, for which the related work has been performed
prior to the Effective Date (collectively, “Technology Transfer Costs”). In connection with a Technology Transfer
pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i), (ii), or (v), VIVUS shall be responsible for the Technology Transfer Costs. In connection
with a Technology Transfer pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(iv), Purchaser shall be responsible for the Technology Transfer
Costs unless and until a Supply Disruption shall have occurred, in which event VIVUS shall be responsible for such Technology
Transfer Costs, including reimbursing Purchaser for those already paid by Purchaser.

 

2.12
        Notice Right; Step-In Right. VIVUS shall provide Purchaser with prompt written
notice of any breach or alleged breach, including without limitation any notice of such breach or alleged breach provided by any
Third Party manufacturer of API or bulk Product and shall provide Purchaser with copies of any documentation and correspondence
between any Third Party manufacturer and VIVUS regarding such breach including written summaries of any oral discussions. In the
event that VIVUS is in breach of any such manufacturing or supply agreement with a Third Party manufacturer, it shall promptly
provide to Purchaser a written plan of action to remedy or cure such breach and shall keep Purchaser promptly informed of its
progress or any changes to such plan of action. If VIVUS is unable to cure such breach, then, unless VIVUS is disputing such breach
in good faith, at Purchaser’s election VIVUS shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause such Third Party manufacturer
to permit Purchaser to step-in and cure the breach. VIVUS may condition disclosure of attorney-client privileged information or
attorney work product on the Parties’ execution of a joint defense agreement, common interest agreement, or similar agreement
intended to preserve attorney-client and attorney work product privileges under Applicable Law, in a form reasonably acceptable
to VIVUS.

2.13        Adjustments
Related to Third Party Manufacturers. VIVUS will not at any time during the Term take any action that could reasonably be
expected to result in a breach of any agreement between VIVUS and any Third Party manufacturer or supplier. VIVUS shall provide
Purchaser with advance written notice of any material amendment, waiver of rights, termination or modification of any agreement
between VIVUS and any Third Party manufacturer or supplier, and VIVUS will not agree to any amendment, waiver of rights, termination
or modification of any agreement between VIVUS and any Third Party manufacturer or supplier that (a) that would reasonably
be expected to result in (i) any non-routine increase in the Price, (ii) any early termination of this Agreement, or
(iii) any increase in the Purchaser’s Minimum Purchase Obligations or (b) has, or would reasonably be expected
to have, any other material negative effect on Purchaser, in each case (a) and (b), without the prior written consent of
Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

 

2.14        API
Purchase Option. If VIVUS obtains the right to satisfy its minimum purchase obligations under all relevant manufacturing and/or
supply agreements with Sanofi and/or any other relevant Third Party manufacturer (as applicable) by purchasing a combination of
API and Product in lieu of solely Product from Sanofi and/or such other relevant Third Party manufacturer (as applicable), then
the Parties shall discuss in good faith an option for Purchaser to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement by purchasing
API in lieu of or in addition to Product, and possible adjustments or supplements to this Agreement to provide for the supply
of API on comparable terms and conditions as for the supply of Product contained herein, including (a) a price for API and
quantities for the API minimum purchase obligations, which appropriately take into account both purchases of Product and API,
and (b) revisions to Section 4.2 and ARTICLE 5 to reflect, on a basis substantially comparable to
the provisions set forth herein, that Purchaser will be buying and VIVUS shall be supplying API in lieu of or in addition to Product.
VIVUS shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to negotiate in good faith with Sanofi or any other Third Party manufacturer,
as applicable, to obtain the rights to satisfy its minimum purchase obligations by purchasing a combination of API and Product.

 

3.            PRICE;

VIVUS shall provide to Purchaser written invoices setting forth the amount payable by Purchaser with respect to quantities of
Product sold hereunder, including the Price applied by VIVUS to each dosage strength of Product. Purchaser shall pay VIVUS for
Product in the amount invoiced by VIVUS within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice, which invoice shall be issued at the
delivery date. If Purchaser is legally required to withhold any Taxes from payments due hereunder, Purchaser shall (a) deduct
such Taxes from the payment made to VIVUS, and (b) timely pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority. Each Party agrees
to cooperate with the other Party in claiming exemptions from such deductions or withholdings under any agreement or treaty from
time to time in effect and shall discuss in good faith how to solve any situation where VIVUS may not deduct such payment for
reasons beyond VIVUS’ reasonable control. Solely for purposes of this Section, “Taxes” means any present
or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, assessments or fees of any nature (including interest, penalties and additions
thereto) that are imposed by the applicable government or other taxing authority.

3.3          Records;
Audit. VIVUS shall maintain complete and accurate books and records in accordance with GAAP in sufficient detail to permit
Purchaser to confirm the accuracy of the Manufacturing Costs, and any other financial measure relating to the Price of the Product
payable under this Agreement, for a period of five (5) years from the creation of individual records or any longer period
required by Applicable Law. At Purchaser’s request, such records shall be available for review at a Purchaser’s headquarters
located at 11 Commerce Drive, 1st Floor, Cranford, New Jersey 07016, or a mutually agreeable location determined by Parties not
more than once each calendar year (during normal business hours on a mutually agreed date with reasonable advance notice) by an
independent Third Party auditor selected by Purchaser and approved by VIVUS (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned,
or delayed) and subject to confidentiality and non-use obligations no less stringent than those set forth in Article 11 of
the License Agreement for the sole purpose of verifying for Purchaser the accuracy of the Manufacturing Costs and Price paid by
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or of any payments made by Purchaser to VIVUS pursuant to this Agreement. Any such auditor
shall not disclose VIVUS’ Confidential Information to Purchaser, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify
the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by VIVUS or the amount of payments due by VIVUS under this Agreement. Any undisputed
amounts finally determined to be owed but unpaid shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the accountant’s report. Any
amounts finally determined to have been overpaid will either be refunded to Purchaser or credited to Purchaser against future
payments to VIVUS hereunder, at Purchaser’s option. Purchaser shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit reveals
an underpayment or under-reporting error of ten percent (10%) or more during the applicable audit period, in which case VIVUS
shall bear the full cost of such audit.

in accordance with Applicable Laws, including without limitation cGMP. VIVUS will immediately make, at its sole expense, such
further internal investigation of any failure to meet these requirements as is reasonable under the circumstances and otherwise
consistent with its obligations hereunder and shall use its best efforts to remediate such failure, which shall include the replacement
of the quantity of non-conforming Product at no cost to Purchaser, as promptly as reasonably practicable.

 

5.3
         Changes to Specifications.

 

(a)           Changes
Requested by Purchaser. VIVUS will not be required to implement any requests by Purchaser to change the manufacturing
process, Specifications, or any testing method with respect to the Product, but VIVUS shall consider any such requests in good
faith.

 

(b)           Changes
Requested by VIVUS. VIVUS will provide Purchaser with advance notice of any material changes to procedures, Specifications,
methods (including testing methods) or standard operating procedures relating to the manufacture or supply of the Product and
VIVUS will not make or permit any such changes without the prior written consent of Purchaser if such change is (i) inconsistent
with the then-current approved NDA for the Product, (ii) reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on VIVUS’
ability to comply with the terms of this Agreement, including any Product delivery timelines hereunder, or (iii) otherwise
reasonably likely to have an adverse impact on the Commercialization of the Product in the Purchaser Territory.

 

    	 	-11-	 

     

    

 

(c)           Changes
Required by Applicable Law. VIVUS will promptly, at its own expense, implement any changes to any procedures, Specifications,
methods (including testing methods) or standard operating procedures relating to the manufacture or supply of the Product required
by Applicable Law or the NDA (collectively, “Required Manufacturing Changes”); provided that Purchaser shall
be responsible for any and all expenses arising from any such changes required by any changes to the NDA submitted to any Regulatory
Authority by the Purchaser without VIVUS’ prior written consent.

 

(d)           Cost
of Manufacturing Changes. Prior to a Supply Chain Transfer, VIVUS will be solely responsible for all internal and external
costs, including, without limitation, obsolete raw materials, regulatory filings, work-in-process, and Product, (i) associated
with Required Manufacturing Changes, and (ii) all costs associated with any other manufacturing changes not requested by
Purchaser. Prior to a Supply Chain Transfer, Purchaser shall be responsible for such costs only in the event such manufacturing
change is requested by Purchaser and is not otherwise required by Applicable Law or the NDA; provided that Purchaser shall also
be responsible for any and all expenses arising from any such changes required by any changes to the NDA submitted to any Regulatory
Authority by the Purchaser without VIVUS’ prior written consent.

 

5.4          Quality
Agreement. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties have entered into a separate quality agreement governing
the agreed-upon Specifications and other technical aspects of supply of Products to Purchaser hereunder (the “Quality
Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Quality Agreement, this Agreement shall
control, except with respect to quality assurance matters. VIVUS agrees to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to have three-way
quality agreements put into place with Purchaser and VIVUS’ Third Party manufacturers.

 

6.             ACCEPTANCE
AND REJECTION PROCEDURES

 

6.1          Inspection.
Purchaser or its designee shall promptly, upon arrival on its site, carefully inspect each shipment of Product for transport damages,
losses and shortfalls. Apparent defects, such as, for instance, damaged containers or missing packages of Product, must be notified
to the carrier promptly upon arrival of the shipment and the freight documents at Purchaser or its designee and, where possible,
countersigned by the carrier’s representative. Failure of Purchaser or its designee to notify such visually detectable defects
to the carrier promptly upon arrival of the concerned shipment and freight documents shall exclude any liability of VIVUS for
such defects. Purchaser shall have twenty-five (25) days after receipt of a shipment of Product to determine if there is any defect
in the Product or any non-compliance with the Specifications or Applicable Law, including without limitation cGMP, which is discoverable
by diligent and customary inspection of the shipment and any accompanying documentation (the “Inspection Period”).
Purchaser shall notify VIVUS of any such non-compliance prior to the end of the Inspection Period, describing in reasonable detail
the non-compliance. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 6.1, if with respect to any unexpired
Product, the non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to have been found by diligent and customary inspection during the
Inspection Period and Purchaser notifies VIVUS of such non-compliance, describing such Latent Defect in detail, within fifteen
(15) days of Purchaser’s knowledge of the Latent Defect and within the shelf life of the Product, such non-compliance shall
be deemed to be a “Latent Defect” hereunder. Purchaser’s notification of VIVUS of a non-compliance during
the Inspection Period or of a Latent Defect as permitted above shall be referred to herein as a “Claim”. For
the sole purpose of application of Section 6.2, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted any Product if it fails
to give a Claim in the periods permitted above; provided, however, that Purchaser’s acceptance of Product shall not limit
Purchaser’s indemnification rights under Section 10.1 (which, for clarity, shall be fully subject to the exceptions
recited therein). At VIVUS’ reasonable request, Purchaser shall provide VIVUS with any available documentation or analysis
that is reasonably necessary for VIVUS to exercise its rejection rights under its supply agreement with Sanofi and/or any other
relevant Third Party manufacturer.

 

    	 	-12-	 

     

    

 

6.2          Remedies. Except for Claims disputed pursuant to Section 6.2(b) hereof, if Purchaser submits a Claim, then
as promptly as practicable after the submission of the Claim to VIVUS (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the submission
of the Claim), VIVUS shall instruct Purchaser whether to return or destroy the Product in question and provide Purchaser with replacement
Product. In the event that:

 

(a)          VIVUS
agrees with the Claim, then VIVUS shall pay for all out-of-pocket costs of returning or destroying Product that is the subject
of any accepted Claim. VIVUS shall bear the risk of loss for such Product, beginning at such time as such Product is taken at Purchaser’s
premises for return delivery. VIVUS shall replace all nonconforming Product as promptly as reasonably practicable and at no cost
to Purchaser.

 

(b)          VIVUS
does not agree with the Claim, then the Parties agree to submit the Product in question to a mutually agreed independent Third
Party that has the capability of testing the Product to determine whether or not it complies with the Quality Agreement, the Specifications
and Applicable Law, including cGMP. The losing Party shall bear all costs and expenses related to such testing and pay for all
shipping costs of returning the Product and/or sending the replacement Product, as the case may be.

 

6.3          Cost
of Product Recalls. With respect to any Product supplied hereunder, VIVUS shall bear all Losses (including without limitation
expenses related to communications and meetings with all required regulatory agencies, expenses of replacement stock, the cost
of notifying customers and costs associated with shipment of recalled Product from customers and shipment of an equal amount of
replacement Product to those customers) related to any Product Recall in the event that such Product Recall is caused by or results
from (a) the breach by VIVUS (including indirectly by any Third Party manufacturer) of any representation or warranty or covenant
contained in this Agreement or the License Agreement, or (b) VIVUS’ negligence or willful misconduct. Additionally,
in the event the Product Recall is caused by or results from (a) or (b) above, VIVUS shall replace the units of recalled
Products as promptly as practicable and at no cost to Purchaser. Except as provided above, Purchaser shall bear all Losses related
to any Product Recall.

 

		7.	REGULATORY MATTERS.

 

7.1          Regulatory
Responsibilities. The Parties’ respective rights and obligations with respect to Regulatory Approvals in the Purchaser
Territory, communications with Regulatory Authorities in the Purchaser Territory, and other regulatory matters relating to the
Product in the Purchaser Territory are set forth in the License Agreement.

 

		8.	RECORD-KEEPING; AUDITS

 

8.1          Recordkeeping.
VIVUS (and/or Sanofi or any other Third Party manufacturer) will keep complete and accurate records of the manufacture and
testing of Product, and retain samples of bulk Product and the active pharmaceutical ingredient in the Compound as are
necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, as well as to assist with resolving Product complaints and other similar
investigations. Copies of the records and samples will be retained for a period of one (1) year following the date of Product
expiry, or longer if required by Applicable Laws. Purchaser is responsible for retaining samples of the fully packaged
Product necessary to comply with the legal/regulatory requirements applicable to Purchaser.

 

    -13-

     

    

 

8.2          Audits.

 

(a)          Audit
Right; Facility Access. From and after the commencement of supply hereunder directly or through an independent auditor
reasonably acceptable to VIVUS, Purchaser shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice and during regular business hours,
to make an annual inspection and audit of the facilities being used by VIVUS or a VIVUS Affiliate for the production, storage,
or testing of Product to assure compliance by or on behalf of VIVUS with cGMPs, the Specifications, and Applicable Law. At Purchaser’s
reasonable request, VIVUS agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to facilitate a similar inspection and audit of the facilities
being used by Sanofi and/or any other Third Party manufacturer, such as, solely by way of example, by exercising VIVUS’ audit
right in its agreement with such manufacturer, at Purchaser’s cost, and permitting Purchaser or its designee to attend such
audit (subject to approval by the Third Party manufacturer to allow such attendance, which VIVUS shall use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to obtain) and in any event sharing the results of such audit with Purchaser.

 

(b)         Third
Party Audits. Without limiting VIVUS’ obligations under this Agreement in any respect, Purchaser acknowledges that
VIVUS’ audit rights in its manufacturing and supply agreements with Sanofi are limited to periodic audits to ensure that
cGMPs continue to be followed. In the event that VIVUS or any Third Party licensee of VIVUS outside the Purchaser Territory proposes
to conduct or conducts an audit of the facilities used by or on behalf of VIVUS or a VIVUS Affiliate or Third Party for the production,
storage, or testing of Product to be sold to Purchaser under this Agreement, then VIVUS will provide immediate notice to Purchaser
of such audit and VIVUS shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to permit Purchaser to be able to be present for and participate
in such audit.

 

(c)         Procedure.
The inspection and audit provided for under Section 8.2(a) shall not be carried out by Purchaser more than once
per calendar year, but such inspection and audit shall not preclude Purchaser from conducting any “for cause” inspection
or audit permitted under the Quality Agreement or otherwise for cause. Each inspection and audit shall be conducted in a manner
so as to minimize disruption of the business operations of VIVUS, Sanofi and/or any other Third Party manufacturer. VIVUS representatives
will be permitted to participate as observers during any such inspection and audit. To the extent that Purchaser requests an inspection
or audit of the facilities of Sanofi and/or any other Third Party manufacturer, Purchaser acknowledges that VIVUS must coordinate
the dates and schedule of such inspection and audit with Sanofi and/or such other Third Party manufacturer. The independent auditor,
if any, shall enter into a written confidentiality agreement with VIVUS containing provisions regarding the disclosure of information
obtained during the inspection and audit that are at least as restrictive as the provisions of Article 13 of this Agreement;
provided that, the independent auditor will be permitted to disclose to Purchaser whether and to what extent VIVUS (or, if applicable,
Sanofi and/or any other Third Party manufacturer) failed to comply with the requirements of Section 8.1 (and shall
not be permitted to disclose to Purchaser any other information). A copy of any such disclosure to Purchaser shall also be provided
to VIVUS.

 

(d)         Results.
If an inspection or audit reveals a failure to comply with cGMP or Applicable Law in any material respect, then Purchaser
shall promptly provide to VIVUS written notice of such fact, which notice shall contain in reasonable detail the deficiencies
found in the applicable facilities and, if practicable, those steps Purchaser believes should be undertaken in order to
remedy such deficiencies. The Parties shall discuss in good faith the deficiencies and VIVUS shall, at its own expense, use
its best efforts to remedy such deficiencies, or implement a plan to remedy such deficiencies, as soon as reasonably
practical following receipt of the notification thereof. In addition to the audit rights set forth in this Section 8.2,
Purchaser will be entitled to perform reasonable follow-up inspections to monitor correction of such deficiencies or the
circumstances giving rise to such deficiency, failure or notice.

 

    -14-

     

    

 

8.3            Analytical
Method Transfer. Upon the reasonable prior written request of Purchaser, VIVUS agrees to provide Purchaser or use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to cause its Third Party designee hereunder to provide Purchaser with all required documentation and support
for analytical method transfer for the Product in order to enable Purchaser to analyze the Product in order to determine its suitability
and stability under this Agreement and according to all applicable requirements of Regulatory Authorities or to ensure that the
Products are in line with the Regulatory Approvals (a “Method Transfer”). VIVUS agrees to actively participate,
or use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its Third Party designee hereunder to participate, in such Method Transfer by,
among other things, providing samples and conducting parallel testing. Purchaser shall pay for any out-of-pocket costs incurred
by VIVUS in connection with such Method Transfer, except in connection with the first Method Transfer to establish stability testing.

 

8.4            Regulatory
Compliance. VIVUS will advise Purchaser promptly if an authorized agent of a Regulatory Authority visits its facilities (or,
to its knowledge, its Third Party designee’s manufacturing facilities) where the API or the Product is being manufactured,
stored, or tested. VIVUS will provide Purchaser with all material information in VIVUS’ possession pertaining to actions
taken by Regulatory Authorities (including any inspections, proposed regulatory actions, investigations or requests for information
or a meeting by any Regulatory Authority) whether inside the Purchaser Territory or outside the Purchaser Territory in connection
with the API or the Product in the Field, including any notice, audit notice, notice of initiation by Regulatory Authorities of
investigations, inspections, detentions, seizures or injunctions concerning the API or the Product in the Field whether inside
the Purchaser Territory or outside the Purchaser Territory, notice of violation letter (i.e., an untitled letter), warning
letter, service of process or other inquiry; provided, however, that VIVUS shall be entitled to redact those portions thereof to
the extent not related to the API or the Product in the Field or to the extent disclosing Third Party confidential information.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party shall promptly, but in any event within two (2) Business Days,
inform the other Party of any material inspections, proposed regulatory actions, investigations or requests for information or
a meeting by any Regulatory Authority with respect to the API or the Product in the Field in the Manufacturing Territory. VIVUS
or its Third Party designee will furnish to Purchaser all material information supplied to, or supplied by, any Regulatory Authority
in the Manufacturing Territory, including the Form 483 observations and responses, to the extent that such information relates
to the API or the Product or the ability of VIVUS to supply such API or the Product and could reasonably be expected to have a
material negative effect on the Purchaser or the Commercialization of the Product in the Purchaser Territory, within five (5) Business
Days of their receipt of such information, in each case to the extent that VIVUS is aware of such information and subject in each
case to the redaction right described above. VIVUS or its Third Party designee will consult in advance with Purchaser prior to
responding to any request from a Regulatory Authority to the extent such response relates to the API or the Product, and VIVUS
will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to permit Purchaser and/or its agents to be present at any inspection by any Regulatory
Authority of any manufacturing facility where the API or the Product that is supplied to Purchaser hereunder is being manufactured
or quality tested.

 

		9.	TERM; TERMINATION

 

9.1            Term.

9.2            Termination
for Default or Bankruptcy. Either Party may terminate this Agreement(
a)            for material
breach by the other Party if such breach continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof; provided,
however, that, except with respect to any breach of Section 2.4 hereof, in the event the non-terminating Party
contests any such asserted breach in good faith and diligently pursues the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 14,
such thirty (30) day cure period shall be tolled or suspended until the final resolution of such dispute pursuant to the
terms of, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of Article 14; or (b) if (i) the other Party
shall institute bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or receivership proceedings or proceedings for reorganization under
bankruptcy or comparable laws; or (ii) a petition shall be filed against the other Party for any proceedings described
in clause (i) above, the effectiveness of which is not stayed or dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing
thereof; or (iii) the other Party shall make a general assignment of all or substantially all of its assets for the
benefit of creditors. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall not affect any other
rights or remedies which may be available to the non-defaulting Party, including any rights or remedies under the License
Agreement.

 

9.3            Termination
Upon Termination of License Agreement. In addition to the termination rights expressly provided for elsewhere in this Agreement,

accordance with its terms.

 

9.4            Termination
upon Transfer of Control of Supply Chain. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the completion of the Supply Chain
Transfer (as defined in the License Agreement).

 

9.5            Effects
of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement other than termination of this Agreement by Purchaser
under Section 9.2(a), VIVUS shall manufacture and supply, and Purchaser shall purchase from VIVUS (a) any
and all quantities of Product ordered by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement prior to the date on which such notice is
given, for the applicable Price, and (b)            any
and all materials held by VIVUS or Sanofi (or any other Third Party manufacturer of Product) for exclusive use in the
manufacture of Compound or Product based on binding part of the Forecasts provided by Purchaser, for an amount equal to the
Manufacturing Cost with respect to such materials. Termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect any
outstanding obligations due hereunder prior to the termination or expiration. In the event of Purchaser’s termination
of this Agreement under Section 9.2(a), Purchaser shall not be required to purchase any additional quantities of
Product from VIVUS and all orders of Product shall be immediately voided and of no effect with no further obligation of
Purchaser to VIVUS with respect to materials held by VIVUS or a Third Party manufacturer for manufacture of the Compound or
Product.

 

9.6            Survival.
Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to the effective date
of such expiration or termination. The following sections shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason:
Sections 2.11, 3.3, 6.1, 6.3 and 8.1 and Articles 9 through 14 and 16.

 

    -16-

     

    

 

		10.	INDEMNIFICATION

 

10.1           Indemnification
by VIVUS. VIVUS shall defend and indemnify and hold Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers
and employees (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless against any and all Losses resulting from any
Claim of a Third Party arising out of, based on, or caused by (i) alleged or actual bodily injury or property
damage resulting from the manufacturing, packing, labeling, handling, storage, transportation, use, distribution of Products
by or on behalf of VIVUS, its licensees (other than Purchaser) or Affiliates, including any product liability claim;
(ii) liabilities arising from clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of VIVUS in connection with any Products;
(iii) the breach by VIVUS of any representation or warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement; (iv) the
Product supplied by VIVUS to Purchaser hereunder failing to meet the warranties set forth in Section 4.2, or
(v) the negligence or willful misconduct of VIVUS or its Affiliates, sublicensees, or any of its agents, directors,
officers or employees, except in each case to the extent that such Losses arise directly from the breach by Purchaser of any
representation or warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any negligence or willful misconduct by a Purchaser
Indemnified Party.

 

10.2           Indemnification
by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to defend and indemnify and hold VIVUS, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers
and employees (the “VIVUS Indemnified Parties”) harmless against any and all Losses resulting from any Claim
of a Third Party arising out of, based on, or caused by (i) the storage, sale, shipment, promotion or distribution of the
Product by Purchaser after Purchaser has taken title to the Product, or (ii) the breach by Purchaser of any representation
or warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, except in each case to the extent that such Losses arise (x) directly
from the breach by VIVUS of any representation or warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement (including breach of Section 4.2),
(y) any negligence or willful misconduct by a VIVUS Indemnified Party, or (z) and are directly attributable to any uncured
breach, that is not the subject of a good faith dispute, by VIVUS of the License Agreement.

 

10.3           Indemnification
Procedures. The Party claiming indemnity under this Article 10 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall
give written notice to the Party from whom indemnity is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly and
in no event later than thirty (30) days after learning of a written claim (“Indemnified Claim”). Failure by
an Indemnified Party to give notice of an Indemnified Claim within thirty (30) days of receiving a writing reflecting such Claim
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder except and solely to the extent that such
Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give such notice. The Indemnifying Party shall have the
right to assume the conduct and defense of the Indemnified Claim with counsel of its choice so long as the Indemnifying Party is
conducting a good faith and diligent defense; provided that, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume any Indemnified
Claim if (x) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable evidence of its ability and willingness to satisfy such claim,
or (y) such claim involves a criminal or regulatory enforcement action. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying
Party with reasonable assistance in connection with the defense of the Indemnified Claim. The Indemnified Party may monitor such
defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense; provided, that if under applicable standards of professional conduct
a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, such Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent such Indemnified Party with respect to the matters as to which
a conflict of interest exists and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the
Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party may not settle the Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party settle
the Indemnified Claim unless such settlement provides an unconditional and full release of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying
Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Indemnified Claim as provided above: (a) the Indemnified Party may assume
and conduct the defense of the Indemnified claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; (b) the Indemnified Party may
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Indemnified Claim in any manner the Indemnified
Party may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying
Party in connection therewith); and (c) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnified Party
for Indemnified Amounts as provided in this Article 10.

11.1         Limitation.
NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES,
COSTS OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES AND/OR LOST SAVINGS) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT,
REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTHING IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR
RESTRICT (A) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER ARTICLE 10,
(B) DAMAGES OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ARTICLE 13, (C) DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT
ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUDULENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF A PARTY OR (D) DIRECT DAMAGES. EXCEPT FOR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR LOSSES ASSOCIATED WITH PRODUCT RECALLS, IN NO EVENT SHALL VIVUS’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE SUM
OF AMOUNTS ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY VIVUS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LICENSE AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT THIS LIMITATION SHALL
NOT APPLY TO (I) VIVUS’ OBLIGATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER ARTICLE 10 OR (II) DAMAGES
TO THE EXTENT ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO VIVUS’ NEGLIGENT, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUDULENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY UNDER THE LICENSE AGREEMENT.

		12.	INSURANCE.

 

12.1         Purchaser
shall procure and maintain insurance during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of [***] following the termination or expiration
of this Agreement, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent
companies similarly situated. Such insurance shall be written by insurance companies with a rating of at least an “A-”
in the latest addition of A.M. Best or its equivalent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser’s
insurance shall include, at minimum, the following coverages:

 

		(a)	commercial general liability
coverage with minimum per claim limits of at least [***] per occurrence and [***] annual aggregate, the policy(ies) for which
shall (A) name VIVUS as an additional insured, and (B) be primary and non-contributory;

 

		(b)	automobile liability coverage covering all owned, hired and non-owned automobile equipment with minimum per claim
limits of [***] per occurrence and annual aggregate, the policy(ies) for which shall name VIVUS as an additional insured;

 

		(c)	excess liability/umbrella coverage with minimum per claim limits of at least [***] per occurrence and annual aggregate;
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	products liability coverage
                                         with  minimum per  claim  limits  of  at  least
                                         [***] per occurrence and annual aggregate with a [***] extended reporting period endorsement,
                                         the policy(ies) for which shall name VIVUS as an additional insured; and

 

    -18-

     

    

 

		(e)	property coverage having limits adequate for Product
inventory in Purchaser’s care, custody, and/or control and for Product in transit to and from Purchaser.

 

12.2         VIVUS
shall procure and maintain insurance or self-insure during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years
following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which are consistent
with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated. Upon written request, VIVUS shall provide proof of adequate
coverage to Purchaser. VIVUS may substitute a self-insurance program to satisfy in whole or in part its obligations under this
Article 12 on written notice to the Purchaser with information demonstrating the adequacy of such program.

 

12.3         It
is understood that the insurance requirements in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 above shall not be construed to create a
limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under Article 10. Furthermore,
it is understood that Purchaser’s insurance requirements in Section 12.1 hereof are intended to be consistent
with, and not to increase, the minimum insurance coverage obligations of the Purchaser under the License Agreement. Each Party
shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance upon written request. Each Party shall provide the other
Party with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance
(or, in the case of VIVUS, self-insurance, as applicable) that materially adversely affects the rights of the other Party hereunder.

 

		13.	CONFIDENTIALITY; PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

 

13.1         Confidentiality.
Each Party will maintain the Confidential Information of the other Party in accordance with Article 11 of the License Agreement.
The Parties agree not to disclose any financial terms or conditions of this Agreement to any Third Party without the prior consent
of the other Party, except as required by Applicable Law.

 

13.2         Proprietary
Rights. This Agreement shall not affect the ownership of any intellectual property owned or developed by or licensed to either
Party (“Intellectual Property”) or any rights granted in the License Agreement with respect to such Intellectual
Property.

 

		14.	DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

 14.1         Disputes.

 

(a)          The
Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term which relate to either Party’s
rights and/or obligations hereunder. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of
disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. To accomplish
this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article 14 if and when a dispute arises
under this Agreement. In the event of any disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the Parties out of or
in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, including any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or
any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, then upon the request of either Party, the Parties agree
to meet and discuss in good faith a possible resolution thereof, which good faith efforts shall include at least one in-person
meeting between the chief executive officers of each Party; provided that, each Party agrees that any statute of limitation or
survival period with respect to such dispute shall be tolled during such discussions. If the matter is not resolved within thirty
(30) days following the request for discussions, either Party may then invoke the provisions of Section 14.2.

(b)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article 14, any Financing Entity may bring a proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction
located in the State of New York solely to enforce its rights under Sections 14.1, 16.1, 16.6, and 16.8
hereof. Such courts of competent jurisdiction located in the State of New York shall have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction to
hear and adjudicate any claims pursuant to this Section 14.1(b).

 

14.2         Arbitration.
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, interpretation, enforceability, breach,
performance, application or termination of this Agreement that is not resolved pursuant to Section 14.1, shall be settled
by binding arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS then in
effect (the “JAMS Rules”), except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitration shall be governed by the United
States Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (the “Federal Arbitration Act”), to the exclusion
of any inconsistent state laws. The United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure shall govern discovery and the rules of
evidence for the arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York, and the Parties consent to the personal
jurisdiction of the United States federal courts, for any case arising out of or otherwise related to this arbitration, its conduct
and its enforcement. Any situation not expressly covered by this Agreement shall be decided in accordance with the JAMS Rules.

 

14.3         Arbitrator.
The arbitrator shall be one (1) neutral, independent and impartial arbitrator selected from a pool of retired federal judges
or magistrates to be presented to the Parties by JAMS. Failing the agreement of the Parties as to the selection of the arbitrator
within thirty (30) days, the arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Rules.

 

14.4         Decision.
The power of the arbitrator to fashion procedures and remedies within the scope of this Agreement is recognized by the Parties
as essential to the success of the arbitration process. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to fashion remedies which would
not be available to a federal judge hearing the same dispute. The arbitrator is encouraged to operate on this premise in an effort
to reach a fair and just decision. Reasons for the arbitrator’s decisions should be set forth in accordance with the JAMS
Rules. Such a written decision shall be rendered by the arbitrator following a full comprehensive hearing, no later than 6 months
following the selection of the arbitrator as provided for in Section 14.3.

 

14.5         Award.
Any award shall be promptly paid in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and any costs, fees or taxes incident
to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, be charged against the Party resisting enforcement.
Each Party agrees to abide by the award rendered in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Article 14, and agrees
that, subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, judgment may be entered upon the final award in any court of competent jurisdiction
and that other courts may award full faith and credit to such judgment in order to enforce such award. The award shall include
interest from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate fixed by the arbitrator and the arbitrator may, in his or her
discretion, award pre-judgment interest. With respect to money damages, nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the
arbitrator or any court or any other forum to award punitive or exemplary damages. By entering into this agreement to arbitrate,
the Parties expressly waive any claim for punitive or exemplary damages, subject to the exceptions set forth in Article 11.

 

14.6         Costs.
The arbitrator shall assess his or her costs, fees and expenses against the Party losing the arbitration and shall require
such losing Party to reimburse the other Party for all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements
arising out of the arbitration (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses,
and so on). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the arbitrator believes that neither Party is the clear loser, the arbitrator
shall divide his or her costs, fees, and expenses according to his or
her sole discretion, and each Party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration.

 

    -20-

     

    

 

14.7          Injunctive
Relief. Provided a Party has made a sufficient showing under the rules and standards set forth in the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure and applicable case law, the arbitrator shall have the freedom to invoke, and the Parties agree to abide by, injunctive
measures after either Party submits in writing for arbitration claims requiring immediate relief. Additionally, nothing in this
Article 14 will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of
competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning
a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status
quo pending the arbitration proceeding.

 

14.8          Confidentiality.
The arbitration proceeding shall be confidential and the arbitrator shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each
Party’s Confidential Information. Except as required to comply with Applicable Laws, including rules and regulations
promulgated by the SEC, The NASDAQ Stock Market or any securities exchanges, no Party shall make (or instruct the arbitrator to
make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrator without prior written consent of the
other Party. The existence of any dispute submitted to arbitration, and the award, shall be kept in confidence by the Parties and
the arbitrator, except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

 

14.9          Survivability.
Any duty to arbitrate under this Agreement shall remain in effect and be enforceable after termination of this Agreement for any
reason.

 

		15.	PRESS RELEASES; USE OF NAMES

 

15.1          Press
Releases. The form and content of any public announcement to be made by one Party regarding this Agreement, or the subject
matter contained herein, shall be subject to the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed), except as may be required by Applicable Law in which event the Party required to make such
announcement shall, to the extent possible, provide to the other Party a written copy of any such required announcement at least
three (3) Business Days prior to disclosure to give the other Party reasonable advance notice and review of any such announcement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may publicly disclose without violation of this Agreement, such terms of this Agreement
as are, on the advice of such Party’s counsel, required by the rules and regulations of the SEC or any other applicable
entity having regulatory authority over such Party’s securities; provided that such Party shall advise Purchaser of such
intended disclosures and requests confidential treatment of certain commercial terms and technical terms hereof to the extent such
confidential treatment is reasonably available to such Party. In the event of any such filing, such Party will provide the other
Party, a reasonable time prior to filing, with a copy of the Agreement marked to show provisions for which such Party intends to
seek confidential treatment and shall reasonably consider and incorporate the other Party’s comments thereon to the extent
consistent with the legal requirements applicable to such Party and that govern redaction of information from material agreements
that must be publicly filed. The other Party shall provide any such comments as promptly as practicable. The intention of the Parties
is to agree upon a single redacted version of the Agreement to be filed with the SEC or any other applicable entity.

 

15.2          Use
of Names. Except as otherwise required by law or by the terms of this Agreement or the License Agreement, or as mutually agreed
upon by the Parties, neither Party shall make any use of the name of the other Party in any advertising or promotional material,
or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

		16.	MISCELLANEOUS

 

16.1          Entire
Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, together with the letter agreement dated September 30th,
2016 between VIVUS and Hercules Capital, Inc., and the terms of the License Agreement which are incorporated herein by reference,
sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations,
conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective
Date, all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no covenants,
promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other
than as are set forth herein and therein. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding
upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 16.1, no amendment of the definitions of “Financing Entity,” “Financing Default,”
 “Qualified Assignee,” or “Permitted Assignment” or Sections 14.1, 16.1, 16.6, and
16.8 hereof that effects the rights of any Financing Entity shall be effective without the prior written consent of each
Financing Entity.

 

16.2          Relationship
of the Parties. The relationship between VIVUS and Purchaser is that of independent contractors and nothing herein shall be
deemed to constitute the relationship of partners, joint venturers, or principal and agent between VIVUS and Purchaser. Neither
Party shall have any express or implied right or authority to assume or create any obligations on behalf of or in the name of the
other Party or to bind the other Party to any contract, agreement, or undertaking with any Third Party.

 

16.3          Force
Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of any or all of their obligations under this Agreement to the
extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention
to the other Party; provided that, in the event of a force majeure impacting the Parties’ rights and obligations under
Section 2.8 and Section 2.11 of this Agreement, VIVUS shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform
its obligations pursuant to Section 2.8 and Section 2.11 of this Agreement, as applicable. Such excuse
shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts
to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall include conditions beyond the control of the Parties,
including an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public
utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe,
and failure of plant or machinery (provided that such failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill, diligence,
and prudence that would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and experienced person engaged in the same type of
undertaking under the same or similar circumstances). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments
owed hereunder because of a force majeure affecting such Party.

 

16.4          Notices.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement,
and shall be addressed to the appropriate Party at the address specified below or such other address as may be specified by such
Party in writing in accordance with this Section 16.4, and shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes when
