60
4895-2136-9357 v.12
Section 5.04 Efforts; Further Assurance.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers and the Company agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings (including any financing statement filings requested by the Purchasers) and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Document and to vest in the Purchasers good, valid and marketable rights and interests in and to the Assigned Interests free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens.
(b)The Purchasers and the Company shall cooperate and provide assistance as reasonably requested by the other party in connection with any Third Party litigation, arbitration or other Third Party proceeding (whether threatened, existing, initiated, or contemplated prior to, on or after the date hereof) to which any party hereto or any of its officers, directors, shareholders, agents or employees is or may become a party or is or may become otherwise directly or indirectly affected or as to which any such Persons have a direct or indirect interests, in each case relating to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Assigned Interests or any other Collateral, or the transactions described herein or therein.
Section 5.05 Put Option; Call Option.
(i)In the event that a Put Option Event shall occur at any time during the period from the Effective Date to and including the end of the Term, each Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation (the “Put Option”), exercisable within sixty (60) days after the earlier of the occurrence of a Put Option Event or such Purchaser’s receipt of written notice from the Company of a Put Option Event (a “Put Option Trigger”) to require the Company to repurchase from such Purchaser its Assigned Interests at the Put/Call Price; provided that during the occurrence and continuation of (x) a Bankruptcy Event or (y) a Put Option Event described in clause (d)(i) of the definition thereof (each, an “Automatic Put Option Trigger”), each Purchaser shall be deemed to have automatically and simultaneously elected to have the Company repurchase from such Purchaser the Assigned Interests for the Put/Call Price in cash and the Put/Call Price shall be immediately due and payable without any further action or notice by any Party. In the event a Purchaser elects to exercise its Put Option (other than pursuant to an Automatic Put Option Trigger), such Purchaser shall deliver written notice to the Company specifying the closing date which date shall be forty-five (45) days from the Put Option Trigger (or such earlier date as such Purchaser and the Company may agree, the “Put Option Closing Date”), which notice must be given within sixty (60) days of the Put Option Trigger. On the Put Option Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase from the applicable Purchaser the Assigned Interests at the Put/Call Price in cash, the payment of which shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such Purchaser.
(ii)For the avoidance of doubt, the Put/Call Price shall automatically be due and payable upon an Automatic Put Option Trigger, as if such payments (each, an “Automatic Put Payment”) were voluntarily prepaid and shall constitute part of the
61
4895-2136-9357 v.12
Obligations, whether due to acceleration pursuant to the terms of this agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise (including, without limitation, on account of any bankruptcy filing), in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the Purchasers or profits lost by the Purchasers as a result of such acceleration, and by mutual agreement of the Parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Purchasers as a result thereof. Any Automatic Put Payment under Section 5.05(a)(i) above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Purchaser as the result of the early termination, acceleration or prepayment and the Company agrees that such Automatic Put Payments are reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. In the event an Automatic Put Payment is determined not to be due and payable by order of any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, by operation of the Bankruptcy Code, despite an Automatic Put Option Trigger having occurred, such Automatic Put Payment shall nonetheless constitute Obligations under this Agreement for all purposes hereunder. The Company hereby waives the provisions of any present or future statute or Law that prohibits or may prohibit the collection of the prepayment fee and any defense to payment, whether such defense may be based in public policy, ambiguity, or otherwise. The Company, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that any Automatic Put Payment due and payable in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute unmatured interest, whether under Section 5.02(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Company further acknowledges and agrees, and waives any argument to the contrary, that payment of such amount does not constitute a penalty or an otherwise unenforceable or invalid obligation. The Company expressly agrees that (i) the Automatic Put Payments are reasonable and is the product of an arm’s-length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) any Automatic Put Payment shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Purchasers and the Company giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Automatic Put Payment, (iv) the Company shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 5.05(a), (v) the Company’s agreement to pay any Automatic Put Payment is a material inducement to the Purchasers to fund the Purchase Price, and
(vi) the Automatic Put Payments represent a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits, losses or other damages of the Purchasers and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Purchasers or profits lost by the Purchasers as a result of such event.
(iii) If a Put Option Event shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Company fails to pay, when and as required to be paid under this Section 5.05(a), the Administrative Agent may, with or without notice, (i) declare all or any portion of the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Company; and (ii) exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Purchaser under any Transaction Documents and/or pursuant to any applicable Laws or in equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC.
(b)Call Option. At any time after the Effective Date until the third anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation (the “Call Option”),
62
4895-2136-9357 v.12
exercisable upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, to repurchase the Assigned Interests from the Purchasers at a repurchase price equal to the Put/Call Price. In order to exercise the Call Option, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to so repurchase the Assigned Interests not less than ten (10) days prior to the proposed closing date (the “Call Option Closing Date”); provided, however, that such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of any financing transaction or one or more other events specified therein (including the occurrence of a Change of Control), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. On the Call Option Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase from the Purchasers the Assigned Interests at the Put/Call Price, the payment of which shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Purchasers. Immediately upon exercise by the Company of the Call Option and the payment by the Company to the Purchasers of the Put/Call Price, the Purchasers shall be deemed to have automatically assigned to the Company all right, title, and interest in and to the Assigned Interest.
(c)Obligations of the Purchasers. In connection with the consummation of a repurchase of the Assigned Interests pursuant to the Put Option or the Call Option, the Purchasers agree that they will (i) promptly but no later than five (5) Business Days after any request therefor execute and deliver to the Company such releases, discharges, UCC termination statements and other documents as may be necessary to release and/or discharge the Purchasers’ Lien on the Collateral and otherwise give effect to such repurchases and (ii) take such other actions or provide such other assistance as may be necessary or as reasonably requested by the Company to give effect to such repurchase.
Section 5.06 Intellectual Property.
(a)Without limiting the Company’s obligations under Section 5.02, the Company shall, at its sole expense, take such actions to prepare, execute, deliver and file any and all agreements, documents or instruments which are necessary to diligently prosecute and maintain all Registered Product IP consistent with prudent business practice. Except to the extent not permitted under the terms of any License Agreement, the Company shall use reasonable efforts consistent with sound business judgment to seek and to apply for patent term extensions, pediatric data package exclusivity extension, supplementary protection certificates, any functional equivalents of any of the foregoing, or similar means of extending market exclusivity or patent protection (collectively, “Patent Term Extensions”) for any Product Intellectual Property and the Product in each territory where such items are permissible, as the case may be. The Company shall not take any action to prosecute and maintain the Product Intellectual Property or fail to take any action to prosecute and maintain the Product Intellectual Property, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)In the event that the Company or the Purchasers becomes aware or has reason to believe that any actual or suspected infringement or invalidity claims by a Third Party related to any activity by such Third Party that is competitive with the Commercialization of the Product or any claim of invalidity by any Third Party directed to any material Product Intellectual Property, including any material Product Patents, then promptly following the Company or the Purchasers, respectively, becoming aware of such actual or suspected infringement or invalidity claim, the
63
4895-2136-9357 v.12
Company or the Purchasers, respectively, shall inform the other party hereto of such actual or suspected infringement or invalidity claim and shall, in addition to such notice, provide to the other party any material information within such party’s possession pertaining thereto (which may be subject to agreement necessary to protect privilege, confidentiality and the like with respect to such information). The Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to defend or assert the Product Intellectual Property, including the Product Patents against such infringement or interference by any other Persons marketing or commercializing any product that is directly competitive with the Product, and against any claims of invalidity or unenforceability of any material Product Intellectual Property, including any material Product Patents, in the United States (including, by bringing any legal action for infringement or defending any counterclaim of invalidity or action of a Third Party for declaratory judgment of non-infringement or non- interference). The Company will keep the Purchasers reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such enforcement and/or defense of the Product Intellectual Property as the Purchasers may, from time to time, reasonably request. The Company shall not, and shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause any Licensee not to, disclaim or abandon, or fail to take any action necessary to prevent the disclaimer or abandonment of, any Product Intellectual Property, including any of the material Product Patents, except in accordance with reasonable and prudent business practice in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(c)In the event that the Company becomes aware that the Product (including any Product Commercialization and Development Activities) infringes or violates any Third Party Intellectual Property, the Company shall, in the exercise of its reasonable business discretion, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to attempt to secure the right to use such Intellectual Property on behalf of itself and any affected Licensee, as applicable, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and all reasonable costs and amounts associated with obtaining any such license would be without any reduction in the Assigned Interests, if and as applicable.
(d)In no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates assign, sell, transfer, license (other than pursuant to a Permitted Licensing Agreement) or otherwise encumber any of the Product Intellectual Property (other than Permitted Liens), if such assignment, sale, transfer, other encumbrance or delegation would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers.
Section 5.07 Protective Covenants.
The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers:
(a)Forgive, release or compromise any amount owed to the Company or its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates and relating to the Assigned Interests outside the Ordinary Course;
(b)Waive, amend, cancel or terminate (other than expiration in accordance with its terms), exercise or fail to exercise, any of its material rights constituting or relating to the Included Product Revenues or the Ex-U.S. Royalties outside the Ordinary Course;

Section 5.10 Taxes.
(a)Company Filings. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall timely file (taking into account all extensions of due dates) all income and other material Tax Returns required to be filed by it and will pay all Taxes required to be paid with such returns, except (i) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Company has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP or (ii) to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have an Material Adverse Effect.
(b)IRS Forms. Each Purchaser shall deliver to the Company a properly completed IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8, as appropriate, or any successor form, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Purchaser, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested by the Company to confirm or establish the extent to which the Purchasers are or are not subject to deduction, backup withholding or withholding of U.S. federal Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and the Purchasers will notify the Company reasonably in advance of any action or proposed action that would make any such form inaccurate and will replace the inaccurate form with an accurate one. The Company shall provide the Purchasers any reasonable assistance it may seek in obtaining an exemption or reduced rate from, or refund of, any U.S. federal withholding tax, if applicable.
(c)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under any Transaction Documents shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by any Law. If any Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Company or the Administrative Agent, then the Company or the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been
66
4895-2136-9357 v.12
made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Purchasers receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(d)Payment of Other Taxes by Company. The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(e)Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall reimburse and indemnify each Purchaser, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Purchaser or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Purchasers and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g)Treatment of Certain Tax Benefits. If any party to this Agreement determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.10 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 5.10(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.10(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 5.10(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)Register. The Company shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assigned Interest delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the name and address of the Purchasers and principal amounts (and stated interest) owing to the Purchasers
67
4895-2136-9357 v.12
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the Purchasers hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and the Purchasers, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.
Section 5.11 Compliance with Laws and Other Obligations.
The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) comply with all Laws (including Anti-Terrorism Laws and Sanctions) applicable to it and its business activities in all material respects and (b) comply in all material respects with all Healthcare Laws and Governmental Licenses and Product Authorizations applicable to it and its business activities.

With respect to the Product and all Product Commercialization and Development Activities, the Company will (directly or indirectly), and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (to the extent applicable) to, (i) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain in full force and effect all Regulatory Approvals, Material Contracts and other rights, interests or assets (whether tangible or intangible) reasonably necessary for the operations of such Person’s business, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) maintain in full force and effect, and pay all costs and expenses relating to, such Regulatory Approvals, Material Contracts and Product Intellectual Property, in each case, owned, used or controlled by the Company or any such Subsidiary that are used in or necessary for any related Product Commercialization and Development Activities, except as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
68
4895-2136-9357 v.12
Effect; (iii) promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the Purchasers of any Claim by any
69
4895-2136-9357 v.12
Person that the conduct of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any Product Commercialization and Development Activities, has infringed, violated or misappropriated any Intellectual Property of such Person, where such claim could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iv) promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the Purchasers of any infringement, misappropriation or other violation by any Person of the Product Intellectual Property that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and stop, curtail or abate such infringement, misappropriation or violation if, and to the extent, determined appropriate by the Company in the exercise of its prudent business judgment.
Section 5.15 ERISA Compliance.
The Company shall comply, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with the provisions of ERISA with respect to any Plans to which the Company or such Subsidiary is a party as an employer in all material respects.
Section 5.16 Commercialization of the Product.
(a)The Company itself or through one or more Subsidiaries or Licensees, shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize the Product. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prepare, execute, deliver and file any and all agreements, documents or instruments that are necessary or desirable to secure and maintain Marketing Authorization in the United States for the Product. The Company shall not withdraw or abandon, or fail to take any action necessary to prevent the withdrawal or abandonment of, Marketing Authorization in the United States for the Product once obtained, other than to the extent that such withdrawal is required for safety reasons or otherwise required under applicable Law. The Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, itself or through one or more Subsidiaries or Licensees, to Commercialize the Product in each jurisdiction in which Marketing Authorization is obtained.
(b)The Company shall not enter into any Material Contract related to the Product unless the Company shall have performed reasonable and customary diligence in selecting the applicable counterparty to such Material Contract and negotiating and agreeing to the terms of such Material Contract (or any amendment, modification, restatement, cancellation, supplement, termination or waiver of any of the material terms thereof). In addition, if any Material Contract related to the Product terminates for any reason whatsoever, the Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enter into a replacement Material Contract to the extent the relevant rights under such terminated Material Contract are required for the ongoing Development and Commercialization of the Product by the Company in accordance with its express obligations set forth in Section 5.16(a).

Section 7.05 Indemnification.
74
4895-2136-9357 v.12
(a)The Company hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates and any of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses (including all Losses in connection with any product liability claims
75
4895-2136-9357 v.12
or claims of infringement, violation or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property of any Third Parties) incurred or suffered by a Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Company in any of the Transaction Documents or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the Company pursuant to any Transaction Document, including any failure by the Company to satisfy any of the Excluded Liabilities and Obligations; provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Purchaser Indemnified Party (i) that results from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Purchaser Indemnified Party or (ii) to the extent resulting from acts or omissions of the Company based upon and in compliance with the written instructions from such Purchaser Indemnified Party. This Section shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes relating to a non-Tax claim or Loss governed by this Section 7.05(a).
(b)The Purchasers, severally but not jointly, hereby indemnify and hold the Company, its Affiliates and any of their respective partners, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by a Company Indemnified Party arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Purchasers in any of the Transaction Documents or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the Purchasers pursuant to any Transaction Document; provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Company Indemnified Party (i) that results from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Company Indemnified Party, (ii) to the extent resulting from acts or omissions of the Purchasers based upon and in compliance with the written instructions from such Company Indemnified Party or (iii) for any matter in respect of which any Purchaser Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.05(a).
(c)If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any; provided, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.05 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of, or has a material adverse effect on the exercise or prosecution of, substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.05 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
76
4895-2136-9357 v.12
shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of such counsel. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d)The indemnification afforded by this Section 7.05 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties against the Company in connection with the Company’s indemnification obligations hereunder and the Company Indemnified Parties against the Purchasers in connection with the Purchasers’ indemnification obligations hereunder, in each case other than any indemnification obligations resulting from (A) the gross negligence, the bad faith or willful misconduct of the other Party or (B) acts or omissions based upon and in compliance with the written instructions from the other Party; provided that nothing in this Section 7.05 shall alter or affect the rights of the Purchasers to exercise remedies under the Transaction Documents in accordance with their terms or other rights of creditors under the UCC or any other applicable Law.
(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not have any liability under this Section 7.05 on any day on which such indemnity claim under this Section 7.05 is paid by the Company, in excess of the Cap Amount for such day. “Cap Amount” means, for any day on which an indemnity claim under this Section 7.05 is paid by the Company, the excess of (x) the Hard Cap over (y) the sum of (A) the aggregate amount of Revenue Interest Payments and Ex-U.S. Royalty Payments received by the Purchasers on or prior to such day and
(B)the aggregate amount of payments made under this Section 7.05 by Company on or prior to such day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchasers shall not have any liability under this Section 7.05 in excess of the Purchase Price, in the aggregate.
Section 7.06 No Implied Representations and Warranties.
Each party acknowledges and agrees that, other than the representations and warranties specifically contained in any of the Transaction Documents, there are no representations or warranties of either party or any other Person either expressed or implied with respect to the Assigned Interests or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that (a) the Purchasers and their Affiliates, together with their and their Affiliates’ representatives, have made their own investigation of the Product and the Product Intellectual Property and are not relying on any implied warranties or upon any
77
4895-2136-9357 v.12
representation or warranty whatsoever as to the future amount or potential amount of the Assigned Interests or as to the creditworthiness of Company and (b) except as expressly set forth in any representation or warranty in a Transaction Document, the Purchasers shall have no claim or right to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.05 (or otherwise) with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished to the Purchasers, any of their Affiliates, or any of their or their Affiliates’ representatives, including any information, documents or material made available to the Purchasers, their Affiliates and their or their Affiliates’ representatives in any data room, presentation, interview or any other form relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 7.07 Independent Nature of Relationship.
(a)The relationship between the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other, is solely that of seller and purchaser, and neither the Purchasers, on the one hand, nor the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other, has any fiduciary or other special relationship with the other or any of their respective Affiliates. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to constitute the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other kind of entity or legal form for any purposes, including any Tax purposes. The Parties agree that they shall not take any inconsistent position with respect to such treatment in a filing with any Governmental Authority.
(b)The Company and/or any of its Affiliates shall not at any time obligate the Purchasers, or impose on the Purchasers any obligation, in any manner or with respect to any Person not a party hereto.
Section 7.08 Tax Treatment.
The Purchasers and the Company acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, (i) the Purchasers’ payment of the Purchase Price to the Company and the associated rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be treated as the issuance of a debt instrument (“Tax Debt Instrument”) on the date that the Purchase Price is delivered to the Company, (ii) the Tax Debt Instrument shall be treated as a contingent payment debt instrument that is subject to the rules set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4, (iii) the Purchasers shall not be treated as the owner of the Assigned Interests or any portion thereof, and (iv) none of the payments that the Company makes to the Purchasers hereunder shall be treated as a payment of contingent interest under Section 871(h)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company shall provide the projected payment schedule for the Tax Debt Instrument to the Administrative Agent as required under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(e) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4(b)(4)(iv); provided however that the Company shall consult with, and reasonably consider any comments or proposals made by, the Administrative Agent regarding the projected payment schedule for the Tax Debt Instrument. The parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 7.08 on any Tax Return or in any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding unless (i) the other parties to this Agreement have consented in writing to such actions, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) the party that contemplates taking such an inconsistent position has been advised by nationally recognized counsel or accounting firm in writing that it is more likely than not that the inconsistent position is required by applicable law.

The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.
Section 7.11 Interpretation.
When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections, Schedules or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that under the Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent (i) is acting solely on behalf of the Purchasers (except to the limited extent provided in Section 8.11) with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “the Administrative Agent”, the terms “agent”, “administrative agent” and “collateral agent” and similar terms in any Transaction Document to refer to the Administrative Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only, (ii) is not assuming any duty or obligation under any Transaction Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Purchaser or any other Secured Party and
(iii)shall have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Transaction Document (fiduciary or otherwise), in each case, regardless of whether a default has occurred and is continuing, and each Purchaser hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in this clause (c). Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Transaction Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b)Right Not to Follow Certain Instructions. Notwithstanding Section 8.03(a) or any other term or provision of this Section 8.03(b), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action (i) unless, upon demand, the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Purchasers (or, to the extent applicable and acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party) against all Liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) that is, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, contrary to any Transaction Document, Law or the best interests of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or Affiliates, including, for the avoidance of doubt,
84
4895-2136-9357 v.12
any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay in connection with any insolvency or similar proceeding.
Section 8.04 Delegation of Rights and Duties.
The Administrative Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Transaction Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Secured Party). The Administrative Agent and any such Person may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. Any such Person and its Affiliates shall benefit from this Article VIII to the extent provided by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with their activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 8.05 Liability.
(a)The Administrative Agent may, without incurring any liability hereunder, (i) consult with any of its Affiliates and, whether or not selected by it, any other advisors, accountants and other experts (including advisors to, and accountants and experts engaged by, the Company) and (ii) rely and act upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including and electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), telephone message or conversation or oral conversation, in each case believed by it to be genuine and transmitted, signed or otherwise authenticated by the appropriate parties. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the effectiveness of this Agreement that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Purchaser, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Purchaser unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Purchaser prior to the making of such Purchase.
(b)Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Transaction Document, and the Purchasers and the Company hereby waive and shall not assert any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the fraudulent conduct or behavior of the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, such Affiliate (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(i)shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of, or with the consent of, the Purchasers or for the actions or omissions of any of its Affiliates selected with reasonable care (other
85
4895-2136-9357 v.12
than employees, officers and directors of the Administrative Agent, when acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent);
(ii)shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the (a) validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (b) due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Transaction Document;
(iii)makes no warranty or representation, and shall not be responsible, to any Secured Party for, and shall not have any duty to ascertain or inquire into, any statement, document, information, certificate, report, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of any Affiliate, in or in connection with any Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated therein, whether or not transmitted by the Administrative Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Transaction Documents (other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent); and
(iv)shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Transaction Document or whether any condition set forth in any Transaction Document is satisfied or waived, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as to the financial condition of the Company or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Put Option Event and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from the Company or any Purchaser describing such Put Option Event clearly labeled “put option event” (in which case the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Purchasers);
and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Purchaser and the Company hereby waives and agrees not to assert any right, claim or cause of action it might have against the Administrative Agent based thereon.
Section 8.06 Administrative Agent Individually.
The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire stock and stock equivalents of, accept deposits from, act as the financial advisor for or in any other advisory capacity for, or engage in any kind of business with, the Company or its Subsidiaries as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Purchase or otherwise becomes a Purchaser hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Purchaser and the term “Purchaser” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, include, without limitation, the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Purchaser.
86
4895-2136-9357 v.12
Section 8.07 Purchaser Credit Decision.
Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or upon any document solely or in part because such document was transmitted by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and has made and continues to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Transaction Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Transaction Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate.
Section 8.08 Expenses; Indemnities.
(a)Each Purchaser agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company) promptly upon demand for such Purchaser’s Proportionate Share of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, the Company) that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Transaction Document.
(b)Each Purchaser further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (or any sub- agent thereof) and any Affiliates of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) (to the extent not indefeasibly paid by the Company), from and against such Purchaser’s aggregate Proportionate Share of the liabilities (including taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to on or for the account of any Purchaser) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any sub- agent thereof) or any Affiliates of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Transaction Document, any related document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Affiliates of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub- agent) under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided that no Purchaser shall be liable to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Affiliates of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or, as the case may be, such Affiliate of the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.
Section 8.09 Resignation of the Administrative Agent.
(a)At any time upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice, the Administrative Agent may resign as the “the Administrative Agent” hereunder, in whole or in part (in the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent). If the Administrative Agent delivers any such notice, the Majority Purchasers shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint
87
4895-2136-9357 v.12
a successor, which shall be (i) a Purchaser having at least a thirty percent (30%) Proportionate Share of the Purchase Price or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) any other financial institution consented to by the Company (provided that the consent of the Company shall not be required to the extent a Put Option Event has occurred and is continuing). If a successor Administrative Agent has not been appointed on or before the effectiveness of the resignation of the resigning Administrative Agent (or such earlier date as shall be agreed by the Majority Purchasers) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the resigning Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint any Person reasonably chosen by it as the successor Administrative Agent, notwithstanding whether the Majority Purchasers have appointed a successor or the Company has consented to such successor. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)Effective from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents to the extent set forth in the applicable resignation notice, (ii) the Purchasers shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent until a successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the resigning Administrative Agent and its Affiliates shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Transaction Document other than with respect to (x) any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such resigning Administrative Agent was, or because the Administrative Agent had been, validly acting as the Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents or (y) any continuing duties such resigning Administrative Agent will continue to perform, and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 8.04, the resigning Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as the Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as the Administrative Agent, a successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents.
Section 8.10 Release of Collateral.
(a)Each Purchaser hereby consents to the release or subordination of, and hereby directs the Administrative Agent to release or subordinate, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that, any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against
(i)any Collateral that is disposed of by the Company in accordance with the Transaction Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent) and (ii) all of the Collateral and the Company, upon payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable (other than inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made).
(b)Each Purchaser hereby directs the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Company, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guarantees and Liens when and as directed in this Section 8.10 and deliver to the Company, at the expense of the Company, any portion of such Collateral so released pursuant to this Section
8.10 that is in possession of the Administrative Agent.
88
4895-2136-9357 v.12
Section 8.11 Additional Secured Parties.
The benefit of the provisions of the Transaction Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Purchaser as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this Article VIII and the decisions and actions of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers to the same extent a Purchaser is bound; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 8.08 only to the extent of liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept, (ii) each of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (iii) such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Transaction Document.
Section 8.12 Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any insolvency or similar proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relating to the Company, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether any payments under this Agreement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention or such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of all Obligations that are owing and unpaid under this Agreement and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel); and
(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Purchaser to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Purchasers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel.
Section 8.13 [Reserved].

4895-2136-9357 v.12
Section 8.14 Acknowledgements of Purchasers.
(a)If the Administrative Agent notifies a Purchaser, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser (any such Purchaser or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”), that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 8.14(b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Purchaser or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Purchaser shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 8.14(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Purchaser, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of Revenue Interest Payments or Ex-U.S. Royalty Payments, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Purchaser or other such recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case: (i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)such Purchaser shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.14(b)(ii).
(c)Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under any Transaction Document, or
90
4895-2136-9357 v.12
otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under Section 8.14(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.14(a), from any Purchaser that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Purchaser at any time, (i) such Purchaser shall be deemed to have assigned its Assigned Interests with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Assigned Interests”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Assigned Interests of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Assigned Interests, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Company) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment,
(ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Purchaser shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Purchaser shall become a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Purchaser shall cease to be a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and
(iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Assigned Interests subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Assigned Interests acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Purchaser shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Assigned Interests (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Purchaser (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold an Assigned Interests (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Purchaser under the Transaction Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).
(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Company, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Company for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim,

4895-2136-9357 v.12
counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

4895-8857-8573 v.6
remedies of a secured party under the NY UCC and other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor agrees that:
(i)the Administrative Agent may peaceably, with or without legal process and with or without notice, without liability for trespass enter any premises of Grantor, take possession of any Collateral, remove or dispose of all or part of the Collateral on any premises of Grantor or elsewhere, and otherwise collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, and demand, give receipt for, settle, renew, extend, exchange, compromise, adjust, or sue for all or any part of the Collateral, as the Administrative Agent may determine, and, generally, exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law.

(iii)the Administrative Agent may use or transfer any of Grantor’s rights and interests in any Product Intellectual Property Collateral, by license, by sublicense (solely to the extent permitted by such applicable license) or otherwise, on such conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent may determine.
(iv)the Administrative Agent may secure the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof (to the extent and in the manner provided by applicable law).
(v)the Administrative Agent may sell, resell, lease, use, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing (utilizing in connection therewith any of Grantor’s assets, without charge or liability to the Administrative Agent therefor) at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or any securities exchange, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or different times, for cash or credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, all as the Administrative Agent deems advisable; provided that Grantor shall be credited with the net proceeds of a sale only when such proceeds are finally collected by the Administrative Agent. the Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption Grantor hereby releases, to the extent permitted by applicable law. the Administrative Agent shall give Grantor such written notice of any public or private sale as may be required by the NY UCC or other applicable law.
The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Grantor not less than ten (10) days’ written notice (which Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the NY UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state
15
4895-8857-8573 v.6
in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, and by the Administrative Agent in its own right or by one or more agents or contractors, upon any premises owned, leased or occupied by Grantor, the Administrative Agent or any such agent or contractor, and any such sale may include any other property, in each case, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and Grantor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9(a) shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the NY UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future Collateral or to resort to such Collateral in any particular order.
(vi)Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Secured Obligations by collecting them from any other Person liable for them and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may release, modify or waive any Collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Secured Obligations, all without affecting the Administrative Agent’s or any other Secured Party’s rights against Grantor. Grantor waives any right it may have to require the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to pursue any third Person for any of the Secured Obligations. The
16
4895-8857-8573 v.6
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by the Administrative Agent and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.
(b)License. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 9 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, and solely during the continuance of a Put Option Event, Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent: (a) an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment or royalty or other compensation to Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Product Intellectual Property Collateral and (b) a non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment or royalty or other compensation to Grantor) to use, license or sublicense the Platform Intellectual Property to extent reasonably necessary to permit the use, manufacture, sell, offer for sale, import, and other exploitation of the Product or the exploitation of the Product Intellectual Property Collateral, including, in each case of (a)-(b), all access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof for the purpose of practicing the foregoing licenses; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9(b) shall require Grantor to grant any license that (i) violates the express terms of any agreement between Grantor and a third party governing Grantor’s use of such Product Intellectual Property Collateral, or gives such third party any right of acceleration, modification or cancellation therein, or (ii) is prohibited by any applicable law; provided, further, that such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks.
(c)Application of Proceeds. The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral, and any other amounts received in respect of Collateral the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied in good faith to satisfy (to the extent of the net proceeds received by the Administrative Agent) such item or part of the Secured Obligations as the Administrative Agent may designate. Any surplus thereof which exists after payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations shall be promptly paid over to Grantor or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the NY UCC or other applicable law. Grantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for any deficiency which exists after any sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral.
SECTION 10 Certain Waivers. Grantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Collateral or other collateral or security for the Secured Obligations; (ii) any right to require the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties (w) to proceed against any Person, (x) to exhaust any other collateral or security for any of
17
4895-8857-8573 v.6
the Secured Obligations, (y) to pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any of the other Secured Parties’ power, or (z) to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the Collateral; and (iii) all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, retention, sale or application of the proceeds of any sale of the Collateral.
SECTION 11 Notices. All notices, requests, instructions, directions and other communications provided for herein (including any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including by telecopy or email) delivered, if to any of the parties hereto, as specified in the RIFA. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or therein, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt of a legible copy thereof, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. All such communications provided for herein by telecopy shall be confirmed in writing promptly after the delivery of such communication (it being understood that non-receipt of written confirmation of such communication shall not invalidate such communication).
SECTION 12 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(a)No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Grantor in any case shall entitle Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
(b)Grantor waives any and all other defenses, set-offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance in full hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury.
(c)Grantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment to or upon Grantor with respect to the Secured Obligations. Except for notices provided for herein, Grantor hereby waives notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any collateral securing the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the Collateral. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Grantor, the Administrative Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of
18
4895-8857-8573 v.6
offset, or any release of Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
SECTION 13 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Grantor, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns. Grantor shall not assign or delegate this Agreement, any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (in each case, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the RIFA) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
SECTION 14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Sections
7.16 and 7.17 of the RIFA are incorporated herein by reference, mutandis mutandis.
SECTION 15 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements (including the Term Sheet), understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein (or in other Transaction Documents) has been made or relied upon by either party hereto. None of this Agreement, nor any provision hereof, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
SECTION 16 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be given full force and effect.
SECTION 17 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other parties hereto. Any counterpart may be executed by facsimile or pdf signature and such facsimile or pdf signature shall be deemed an original.
SECTION 18 Incorporation of Provisions of the RIFA. To the extent the RIFA contains provisions of general applicability to the Transaction Documents, such provisions are incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 19 No Inconsistent Requirements. Grantor acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents may contain covenants and other terms and provisions variously stated regarding the same or similar matters, and agrees that all such covenants, terms and provisions are cumulative and all shall be performed and satisfied in accordance with their respective terms.
SECTION 20 Termination. Upon the termination of the RIFA and payment and performance in full of all Secured Obligations, the security interests created by this Agreement
19
4895-8857-8573 v.6
shall automatically terminate and the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to
20
4895-8857-8573 v.6
Grantor such documents and instruments reasonably requested by Grantor as shall be necessary to evidence the termination of all security interests given by Grantor to the Administrative Agent hereunder. Any execution and delivery of such documents pursuant to this Section 20 shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent. The Grantor shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for all reasonable and documented costs and out of pocket expenses, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and expenses of counsel, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 20.
Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition by Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the RIFA, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.
In addition, in connection with the entry into any license by the Grantor concerning any Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Grantor, negotiate and enter into a non-disturbance agreement and other similar agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Grantor.
SECTION 21 Right of Set-Off. If a Put Option Event shall have occurred and is continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all Collateral (including any deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of Grantor against any and all of the obligations of Grantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 21 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.
SECTION 22 Intercreditor Agreement.
(a)Concurrently herewith, the Administrative Agent shall enter into the Intercreditor Agreement. In connection with any Permitted Term Loan Refinancing of the Oaktree Term Loan Facility or other incurrence of any Permitted Indebtedness, the Administrative Agent shall enter into an intercreditor agreement on terms and conditions consistent with the Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent providing for the subordination of the Liens of the Administrative Agent on the Collateral (other than the Administrative Agent Priority Collateral) to the Liens of the lender(s) (or agent(s) for such lender(s)) of such Permitted Indebtedness.
(b)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the priority of the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement with respect to the priority of any liens or the exercise of any rights or remedies, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. The requirement under this Agreement to deliver Collateral to the Administrative Agent (or any representation or warranty having the effect of requiring the same) shall be deemed satisfied (or any such representation or
21
4895-8857-8573 v.6
warranty shall be deemed true) by delivery of such Collateral to Oaktree (or other senior creditor under the Intercreditor Agreement from time to time) as bailee of, and on behalf of, the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement.
(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent the Grantor is required hereunder to deliver Collateral to, or the possession or control by, the Administrative Agent for purposes of possession and/or “control” (as such term is used herein) and is unable to do so as a result of having previously delivered such Collateral to Oaktree (or other authorized representative in accordance with the terms of any then applicable Intercreditor Agreement), such Grantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such delivery shall be deemed complied with and satisfied by the delivery to such representative, as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.
(d)Any reference in this Agreement to a “first priority security interest” or words of similar effect in describing the security interests created hereunder shall be understood to refer to such priority subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.
