ARTICLE III
DISTRIBUTION OF LITIGATION PROCEEDS

 

3.1               Priority of Payment. RareGen will immediately notify Holdings of its receipt of any Litigation Proceeds (whether by Counsel or Sandoz for RareGen’s account or otherwise). Within fifteen (15) days of RareGen (or Counsel) receiving any Litigation Proceeds, RareGen will (i) pay (or cause to be paid) to Senior Funder that portion of the Litigation Proceeds to which Senior Funder is entitled pursuant to the Senior Funder Agreement, and (ii) pay (or cause to be paid) any remaining Litigation Proceeds to Holdings as the Holdings’ Share (or a portion thereof) in immediately available funds in accordance with wire instructions to be provided to RareGen by Holdings.

3.2               Lockbox Account. In the event that RareGen is required under the Senior Funder Agreement to pay any Litigation Proceeds into a lockbox account, escrow account or other similar restricted account, then Holdings agrees that no portion of such Litigation Proceeds shall become payable to Holdings pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such funds are released to RareGen from such lockbox account, escrow account or other restricted account pursuant to the Senior Funder Agreement.

If there are no Litigation Proceeds (after deducting any amounts payable to the Senior Funder pursuant to the Senior Funder Agreement), then no amount shall be payable to Holdings under Section 3.1, Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, and if there are Litigation Proceeds but they are less (after deducting any amounts payable to the Senior Funder pursuant to the Senior Funder Agreement) than the amount necessary to pay Holdings the entirety of Holdings’ Share, RareGen shall not be obligated to pay the difference to Holdings.

 

3.5               Tax Matters.

 

(a)                RareGen and its successors are liable for and shall pay any and all Taxes (other than Taxes imposed upon Holdings as a consequence of Holdings’ income) imposed in connection with, or as a result of, the Litigation Proceeds or as a consequence of any Settlement or Business Deal. If, however, (i) the aggregate taxable income of or on account of RareGen or its successors from the receipt of, or entitlement to, the Litigation Proceeds, exceeds (ii) the aggregate income tax deductions available to or on account of RareGen or its successors, whether in the same tax year in which any such Litigation Proceeds are accrued or received or in any other tax year, in connection with its payment of expenses associated with the conduct of the Litigation and for the requirement to pay, or payment of, the Litigation Proceeds to Senior Funder and Holdings (such excess being referred to herein as the “Mismatch Amount”), then any Litigation Proceeds otherwise payable to Holdings hereunder shall be reduced by an amount sufficient for the payment or offset of any income taxes payable or the reduction of any deferred tax asset resulting from such Mismatch Amount. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount of the reduction of any deferred tax asset shall be measured in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

(b)                Other than as provided for in Section 3.5(a), no Tax payment, liability or obligation of RareGen shall operate to reduce any amount payable to Holdings under this Agreement.

(c)                This Agreement shall not, in whole or in part, be deemed to create or imply a partnership for federal or state or local income tax purposes, and neither Holdings nor RareGen will take any action or make any election to treat their relationship as a partnership for income tax purposes.

 

3.6               Interest On Overdue Amounts. If RareGen fails to pay (or cause to be paid) any amounts due or owed to Holdings on the date when due, including any failure to instruct Counsel to disburse any amount to Holdings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, RareGen shall thereafter pay to Holdings interest on such amount for the period from and including the date due, to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual days elapsed) equal to the Default Rate.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, (i) Holdings shall not be required to reimburse RareGen for any time spent by employees or consultants of RareGen or its Affiliates in monitoring the Litigation, and (ii) for time spent by employees of RareGen and its Affiliates that will be reimbursed by Holdings, time will be billed in quarter hour increments at a rate equal to the applicable employee’s annual base salary plus benefits divided by 2,000 (or, with respect to a part-time employee, the number of hours such employee is scheduled to work on an annual basis).

In connection with any joint representation of RareGen and Holdings by Counsel, RareGen (and, if applicable, its Affiliates) shall execute such conflict waivers and joint prosecution agreements as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or such Counsel. For clarity, RareGen counsel shall remain involved in the Litigation with insight and review into all matters in the Litigation and the right to request changes to aspects of the Litigation that might interfere with RareGen’s business outside the scope of the Litigation, which requests shall be considered in good faith by Holdings.

(b)                at its own cost and expense, take such action and execute, acknowledge and deliver such agreements, instruments or other documents as Holdings may from time to time reasonably require in order (i) to perfect and protect or maintain the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral and (ii) to enable Holdings to enforce its rights in respect of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof;

 

(c)                do all things reasonably necessary at the written request of Holdings so that Holdings will have a perfected security interest in RareGen’s share of any judgment obtained in the Litigation, subordinated only to any security interest of Senior Funder in the Collateral, and to establish Holdings’ priority in RareGen’s share of any judgment obtained in the Litigation under applicable procedural law or court rules;

 

(d)                at its own cost and expense, take any and all actions necessary to defend its title to the Collateral against all parties and to defend the security interest of Holdings in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Encumbrance or security interest (other than any security interest of Senior Funder in the Collateral);

9.5               Remedies and Applications of Proceeds.

 

(a)                If RareGen fails to pay or perform any of the Secured Obligations when due to be paid or performed, the failure shall constitute a default under this Agreement for the purposes of Part 6 of Article 9 of the UCC and Holdings shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable law.

 

13

9.6               Certain Waivers. RareGen waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

 

(a)                except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, any duty of Holdings as to the preservation of any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral;

If this Section 9.7, or the application thereof, is or becomes invalid or unenforceable with respect to any circumstance, the application of this Section 9.7 to any other circumstance shall not be affected and shall remain valid and be enforceable to the full extent permitted by applicable Law.

 

9.8               Subordination to Senior Funder. The rights of Holdings hereunder and all of the Secured Obligations are hereby, and shall continue to be, subject and subordinate in priority and payment to the rights of Senior Funder under the Senior Funder Agreement and to all sums due or to become due to Senior Funder under the Senior Funder Agreement; provided that Holdings is not in any way restricted from enforcing its rights under Articles IV, V and VI hereof. Holdings agrees that so long as any sum is owed to Senior Funder pursuant to the Senior Funder Agreement, Holdings shall not receive or retain payments of from RareGen pursuant to this Agreement.
