Lilly and NeoSan each hereby agrees to use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary or proper to make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including such actions as may be reasonably necessary to obtain approvals and consents of Governmental or Regulatory Authorities and other Persons (including all applicable drug listing and NDA notifications to the FDA and DEA identifying NeoSan as a distributor of the Product); provided, however, that no Party will be required to (i) pay money (other than as expressly required pursuant to this Agreement or as implicitly required in order for a Party to 28 carry out its obligations hereunder), or (ii) assume any other material obligation not otherwise required to be assumed by this Agreement. 6.6 PUBLICITY. The Parties agree that no publicity release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby and under the Manufacturing Agreement or, with respect to a NeoSan publicity release or announcement, that includes the name of Lilly with respect to such transaction, will be issued without the advance written consent of the other, which will not be unreasonably withheld, except to the extent such publicity release or announcement is after the later of the date of (i) the last to be delivered to Lilly of the Loan Facility Highly-Confident Letter and the Bond Financing Highly-Confident Letter executed by B of A or (ii) the date that both Parties have made the filings required by both Parties pursuant to the HSR Act, and is substantially similar to, or whose relevant statements are consistent with the statements in, the press release set forth in SCHEDULES 6.6 attached hereto. Notwithstanding the above, upon the later of the date of (i) the last to be delivered to Lilly of the Loan Facility Highly-Confident Letter and the Bond Financing Highly-Confident Letter executed by B of A or (ii) the date that both Parties have made the filings required by both Parties pursuant to the HSR Act (or such later date as agreed to by the Parties), NeoSan may issue the press release set forth at SCHEDULE 6.6. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.6 and Article 8 to the contrary, each Party may make filings or disclosures that are required by Applicable Laws (as determined to be so required by outside counsel for the disclosing Party) including filings or disclosures required by or to the Securities and Exchange Commission (and any other applicable securities exchanges) that discuss the subject matter of this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement or otherwise make reference to the other Party in any way whatsoever; provided, however, that such Party provides the other Party with no less than three (3) business days to review and comment on such filings, or the relevant portions thereof, pertaining to the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Manufacturing Agreement, and such Party does not unreasonably reject the incorporation of such comments into such filings; provided further, however, that such Party will redact any Confidential Information of the other Party that, in the opinion of such disclosing Party's outside counsel, is not required by Applicable Laws from such filings or disclosures; provided further, however, that, such Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment by such security exchanges with respect thereto. 6.7 COOPERATION. If either Party becomes engaged in or participates in any investigation, claim, litigation or other proceeding with any Third Person, including the FDA and DEA, relating in any way to the manufacturing, selling, marketing, promoting, co-marketing or co-promoting the Product in the United States, the other Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects with such Party in connection therewith, including using its reasonable efforts to make available to 29 the other such employees who may be helpful with respect to such investigation, claim, litigation or other proceeding, provided that, for purposes of this provision, reasonable efforts to make available any employee will be deemed to mean providing a Party with reasonable access to any such employee at no cost for a period of time not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours (e.g., three (3) eight (8) -hour business days), and provided further that neither Party is required to disclose any legally privileged documents or information to the other Party. Thereafter, any such employee will be made available for such time and upon such terms and conditions (including compensation) as the Parties may mutually agree. 6.8 CONFLICTING RIGHTS. Neither Party will grant any right to any Third Person which would violate the terms of or conflict with the rights granted by such Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement. 6.9 DEEMED BREACH OF COVENANT. Neither Lilly nor NeoSan will be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement to the extent such Party's breach is the result of any action or inaction on the part of the other Party. 6.10 CUSTOMER ORDERS. Lilly will take such steps as may be reasonably required to insure that all customer orders for Product received after the Closing Date from customers in the United States are forwarded to NeoSan in writing within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt by Lilly. Lilly agrees that any customer in the United States ordering or requesting any information with respect to the Product after the Closing Date will be informed that NeoSan is now supplying the Product. 6.11 EXISTING CONTRACTS. NeoSan will fulfill all contractual pricing offered by Lilly on Product only for a period of time sufficient to ensure that Lilly is in compliance with its contractual obligation to a Third Person for sale of Products in the United States ("Customer Contracts"). Other than complying with these preexisting contractual obligations, NeoSan will be free in its sole and absolute discretion and without consultation with Lilly, to set its prices on Product offered by NeoSan. Lilly and NeoSan agree to prorate as of the Closing Date any amounts under the Customer Contracts in favor of Lilly with respect to amounts which become due and payable after the Closing Date to the extent the benefit is attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date, and any amounts under the Customer Contracts in favor of NeoSan with respect to amounts which are paid prior to the Closing Date to the extent the benefit is attributable to the period subsequent to the Closing Date. 6.12 NO ASSIGNMENT OR LICENSES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, NeoSan acknowledges and agrees that Lilly is not assigning or licensing to NeoSan the rights to make, have made, distribute, use, sell, offer to sell, have 30 sold, import, market, co-market, promote or co-promote the Product outside the United States, except for the non-exclusive rights to make or have made Product outside of the United States solely for importation and sale in the United States. The rights granted to NeoSan in the United States will in no way limit Lilly's rights outside the United States. 6.13 NEOSAN NEW PRODUCTS. During the three-year period beginning on the date of receipt by Lilly of written notice from NeoSan that NeoSan has initiated development activities related to NeoSan New Products (which NeoSan must do within a reasonable time after initiating such development activities), NeoSan will, at its sole cost and expense, work diligently and using commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with prudent business judgment and a balancing of important priorities of NeoSan, based upon the existing business situation, to develop at least two NeoSan New Products where in NeoSan's good faith opinion, such development is technically feasible and commercially justifiable ("Commercially Attractive NeoSan New Products"), devoting the same degree of attention and diligence to such efforts that it devotes to such activities for its other products at a comparable stage in development and of comparable commercial and development potential, with the objective of developing such Commercially Attractive NeoSan New Products for the United States as soon as commercially practicable, provided that NeoSan may terminate such development activities at any time in the event that it determines in good faith that such candidates are unlikely to succeed in becoming Commercially Attractive NeoSan New Products. 6.14 MEDICAID AND OTHER REBATES. The Parties will administer and pay all rebates, chargebacks and other similar programs as follows: (a) Lilly Sales Prior to Closing Date. Lilly will process and be responsible for the administration and payment of all federal, state and local managed care and other rebate programs, including Medicaid/Medicare rebates and Obligations, as well as chargebacks for the Product, in each case, related to Product that was sold by Lilly prior to the Closing Date; (b) Sales After the Closing Date. NeoSan will process and be responsible for the administration and payment of all federal, state and local managed care and other rebate programs in the United States, including Medicaid/Medicare rebates and Obligations, as well as chargebacks for the Product and NeoSan New Products, in each case, related to Product and NeoSan New Product that is sold by NeoSan on or after the Closing Date. If the Parties are unable to determine whether a Product was sold by Lilly prior to the Closing Date or by NeoSan on or after the Closing Date, then Lilly will be responsible for any and all such rebates and chargebacks received during the sixty (60) day period following the Closing Date, and NeoSan will be responsible thereafter. 31 (c) Product Returns. NeoSan will be responsible for all returns of Product sold on or after the Closing Date in the United States, and Lilly will be responsible for returns of Product sold before the Closing Date. If the Parties are unable to determine whether a Product was sold by Lilly prior to the Closing Date or by NeoSan on or after the Closing Date, in each case in the United States, then Lilly will be responsible for all returns of such Product received during the sixty (60) day period following the Closing Date, and NeoSan will be responsible thereafter with respect to the United States. 6.15 RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE NDAS. On the Closing Date, Lilly will transfer the NDAs to NeoSan. Following the Closing Date, NeoSan will be responsible for and will fulfill all regulatory requirements with respect to the Product that are imposed upon NeoSan as the owner of the NDAs under Applicable Laws. NeoSan will provide Lilly with all assistance that is reasonably necessary to effectuate such transfers. Notwithstanding the sale and transfer of the NDAs, Lilly will complete the assay validations and supplement the NDAs with respect to the change of equipment in Lilly's Puerto Rico facility, all as further described in SCHEDULE 6.15 attached hereto; provided, however, that if Lilly subsequently determines in its reasonable discretion that regulatory submissions identified in SCHEDULE 6.15 are not needed in order to continue manufacturing the Product and the FDA does not require such regulatory submissions, Lilly will have no obligation to complete the activities described in this sentence or supplement the NDA as described in SCHEDULE 6.15. Nothing in this Section 6.15 will be construed as requiring Lilly to update or upgrade the NDAs to "state of the art" conditions, or requiring Lilly to otherwise update the NDA. Upon the Closing Date, NeoSan hereby grants to Lilly the right to reference the NDAs for purposes of obtaining and/or maintaining marketing authorizations outside of the United States. 6.16 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE. Following the Closing, NeoSan will have the sole right to file, prosecute and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, (i) the Product Intellectual Property and (ii) any patent applications or Patents that cover a NeoSan New Product(s) developed by NeoSan or its Affiliates. Lilly will be responsible for and promptly pay when due all fees necessary to and will otherwise maintain the Licensed Trademark and Trade Dress (other than the Common Law Licensed Trade Dress). 6.17 ENFORCEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. (a) Right to Seek Relief. NeoSan will promptly notify Lilly of any infringement or suspected infringement which may come to its notice of any Licensed Technology or the Licensed Trademark and Trade Dress, and will provide Lilly with any information with respect thereto. Lilly will promptly notify NeoSan of any infringement or suspected infringement which may come to its notice of any intellectual property rights relating to the Product, including 32 the Product Intellectual Property, Licensed Technology, or the Licensed Trademark and Trade Dress, and will provide NeoSan with any information with respect thereto. In the event of any past, present or future infringement by a Third Person of any intellectual property rights relating to Copyrights, Assigned Trade Dress (only as it relates to an infringement in the United States) or Assigned Trademarks, NeoSan will have the sole right (but no obligation) to pursue any and all injunctive relief, and any or all compensatory and other remedies and relief (collectively, "Remedies") against such Third Person. In the event of any infringement by a Third Person of any intellectual property rights relating solely to Assigned Trade Dress (as it relates to infringement outside the United States), Licensed Technology or Licensed Trademark and Trade Dress, Lilly will have the first right (but not the obligation) to pursue any and all Remedies against such Third Person. Should Lilly determine not to pursue Remedies with respect to any such intellectual property within thirty (30) days after notice from NeoSan requesting Lilly to do so, then NeoSan will have the right (but not the obligation) to pursue Remedies against such Third Person inside the United States. In the event of any infringement by a Third Person in the United States of any intellectual property related to the Product or NeoSan New Products other than that described in the preceding sentences, NeoSan will have the first right (but not the obligation) to pursue any and all Remedies against such Third Person. Should NeoSan determine not to pursue Remedies with respect to any such intellectual property within thirty (30) days after notice from Lilly requesting NeoSan to do so, then Lilly will have the right (but not the obligation) to pursue Remedies against such Third Person. (b) Assistance and Cooperation. In the event that a Party will pursue Remedies hereunder, the other Party will use all reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the Party pursuing such Remedies. Each Party will bear its own costs and expenses relating to such pursuit. Any damages or other amounts collected will be distributed, first, to the Party that pursued Remedies to cover its costs and expenses and, second, to the other Party to cover its costs and expenses, if any, relating to the pursuit of such Remedies; any remaining amount will be distributed to the Party that pursued the Remedies. 6.18 INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PERSON RIGHTS. In the event that a Third Person institutes a patent, trade secret, trademark or other infringement suit, or a misappropriation or unfair competition suit in the United States (including any suit claiming confusion, deception or dilution of a trademark by the Assigned Trademarks, Assigned Trade Dress or Licensed Trademark and Trade Dress or interference with any patent claim (pending or issued)) against NeoSan or another Permitted Seller during the term of this Agreement, alleging that the manufacture, 33 marketing, sale or use of the Product infringes one or more Patent, trademark or other intellectual property rights held by such Third Person or constitutes misappropriation or unfair competition, then NeoSan will have the first right (but not the obligation), at its sole expense, to assume direction and control of the defense of such claims except to the extent such suit relates to the Assigned Trade Dress (as it relates to an infringement outside of the United States), the Licensed Technology, or the Licensed Trademark and Trade Dress, as to which Lilly will have the first right (but not the obligation), at its sole expense, to assume direction and control of the defense of such claims. Should NeoSan or Lilly, as applicable, determine not to pursue the defense of a particular claim within thirty (30) days after notice from the other Party requesting NeoSan or Lilly, as applicable, to do so, then the other Party will have the right (but not the obligation), at its sole expense, to assume direction and control of such claims. NeoSan will not have the right to settle or otherwise dispose of any such claim with respect to the Assigned Trade Dress (as it relates to an infringement outside of the United States), the Licensed Technology or the Licensed Trademark and Trade Dress without the consent of Lilly, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 6.19 SALES TRAINING. Lilly will have no obligation to provide sales training to NeoSan. 6.20 NO LIENS. NeoSan will keep the Licensed Technology and Licensed Trademark and Trade Dress free from all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances. 6.21 MAINTENANCE OF ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO CLOSING. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.25, from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, Lilly will conduct the Activities in the ordinary course of business and not enter into any new Contracts including the Product or other Purchased Assets (a) giving any third Persons any rights, title or interests in the Purchased Assets (other than sales of Products in the ordinary course of business), or (b) creating any Encumbrances on the foregoing other than Permitted Encumbrances. Lilly agrees that after the date hereof, without NeoSan's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, it will not take any action with respect to any Material Contract that would (x) extend the term of such Material Contract with respect to any Product, (y) create or agree to any additional obligations with respect to any Product other than price adjustments in the normal course of business, or (z) otherwise materially adversely affect NeoSan (other than to terminate any such Material Contract in the ordinary course of business). 6.22 UNAVAILABLE CONSENTS. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery to NeoSan of any asset that would be a Purchased Asset is (i) prohibited 34 by any Applicable Law or (ii) would require any authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers from a Third Person or Governmental or Regulatory Authority and such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers will not have been obtained prior to the Closing Date, then in either case the Closing may proceed without the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such affected asset and this Agreement will not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such asset; provided that nothing in this Section 6.22 will be deemed to waive the rights of NeoSan not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if the conditions to its obligations set forth in Article 7 have not been satisfied or waived. (b) In the event that the Closing proceeds without the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such affected asset set forth in Section 6.22(a), then (i) following the Closing, the Parties will use their commercially reasonable best efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers, and (ii) pending such authorization, approval, consent or waiver, the Parties will cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to NeoSan the benefits of use of such asset and to Lilly the benefits, including any indemnities, that, in each case, it would have obtained had the asset been conveyed to NeoSan on the Closing Date; provided, however, that such arrangement does not cause either Party to be in breach of any obligation owed to a Third Person. (c) If authorization, approval, consent or waiver for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such asset not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered on the Closing Date is subsequently obtained, Lilly will assign, transfer, convey and deliver such asset to NeoSan at no additional cost to NeoSan; provided, however, that NeoSan has paid the full purchase price described in Section 2.1, above. 6.23 GUARANTY. NeoSan will cause aaiPharma to execute a Guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Guaranty"). 6.24 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Lilly will deliver to NeoSan, at NeoSan's expense, audited financial statements with respect to the Products in the United States for calendar years 1999, 2000 and 2001 which are compliant with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and will specifically include Net Sales and gross margin of the Products in the United States (the "Financial Statements"). NeoSan will pay the cost of the Financial Statements regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement close. 35 6.25 FINANCING. NeoSan (or aaiPharma on NeoSan's behalf) will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to initiate an offering to raise, on commercially reasonable terms (for a comparably-sized company and a comparably-sized financing transaction, including interest rate and duration), the funds necessary to pay the purchase price described in Section 2.1 and, pursuant to such offering, to deliver Offering Memoranda to potential investors no later than February 21, 2002 (with respect to the Offering Memoranda pertaining to the loan syndication portion of the Transaction Financing (the "Loan Facility")) and March 1, 2002 (with respect to the Offering Memoranda pertaining to the bond offering portion of the Transaction Financing (the "Bond Offering")). NeoSan (or aaiPharma on NeoSan's behalf) will utilize its commercially reasonable best efforts to close the financings described in both Offering Memoranda (the "Transaction Financing") no later than March 15, 2002. The Transaction Financing will take the form of a syndicated loan or bond offering, or any combination thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Lilly will be free to discuss transactions related to the Product with Third Persons (but not sign any binding agreements) until NeoSan (or aaiPharma on NeoSan's behalf) closes the Transaction Financing for the purpose of having a back-up purchaser for the asset should the Transaction Financing fail. A prerequisite for NeoSan's distribution of the Offering Memoranda pertaining to the Loan Facility to banks and other financial institutions will be (i) Lilly's prior written approval of such Offering Memoranda, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) Bank of America's ("B of A") providing to NeoSan and aaiPharma (and NeoSan will have provided a copy thereof to Lilly) a duly executed "highly confident" letter with respect to the successful funding of such Loan Facility at the closing of the Transaction Financing in a form substantially similar to Exhibit C attached hereto (the "Loan Facility Highly-Confident Letter"). A prerequisite for NeoSan's distribution of the Offering Memoranda pertaining to the Bond Offering to potential investors will be (i) Lilly's prior written approval of such Offering Memoranda, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (ii) B of A's providing to NeoSan and aaiPharma (and NeoSan will have provided a copy thereof to Lilly) a duly executed "highly confident" letter with respect to the successful funding of the Bond Offering at the closing of the Transaction Financing in a form substantially similar to Exhibit D attached hereto (the "Bond Financing Highly-Confident Letter"), and (iii) that NeoSan (or aaiPharma on NeoSan's behalf) will have been and will continue to actively progress with the closing of the Loan Facility in good faith. In the event that B of A fails to provide NeoSan (and NeoSan fails to provide Lilly with a copy) with the Loan Facility Highly-Confident Letter by February 21, 2002, fails to provide the Parties with the Bond Financing Highly-Confident Letter by March 1, 2002, or is prohibited from issuing the Offering Memorandum pertaining to the Bond Offering as of March 1, 2002 because of its (or aaiPharma's on NeoSan's behalf) failure to actively progress with the closing of the Loan Facility in good faith, Lilly will have the 36 right (but not the obligation) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to NeoSan at any time prior to B of A's delivery to Lilly of such Loan Facility Highly-Confident Letter or such Bond Financing Highly-Confident Letter or NeoSan's or aaiPharma's active progression with the closing of the Loan Facility in good faith, as the case may be. Unless aaiPharma is advised by its outside SEC counsel that, in such counsel's opinion, earlier public disclosure or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or relevant securities exchange with respect to the transactions covered by this Agreement is required by applicable law or regulation, NeoSan will not, and will cause aaiPharma not to, make any such public disclosure or filing until the Parties have received the Bond Financing Highly-Confident Letter. Following the receipt of such Bond Financing Highly-Confident Letter or such legal advice of an earlier public disclosure or filing obligation, whichever comes first, NeoSan and aaiPharma will be free to make such legally required public disclosures or filings, provided that such public disclosures or filings will be limited to that which aaiPharma's outside SEC counsel advises aaiPharma is legally required, in such counsel's opinion, or which is otherwise permitted under Section 6.6 or Article 8 (other than 8.2(g)) hereof at the relevant time, unless Lilly consents to additional disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NeoSan's right to make such public disclosure or filing pursuant to this Section 6.25 is subject to the conditions set forth in the three provisos at the end of Section 6.6 pertaining to disclosures that are required by Applicable Laws. NeoSan will cause B of A to have in place Confidentiality Agreements no less restrictive than those confidentiality obligations customarily used by B of A with Third Persons in other loan syndication transactions, with Third Persons to which B of A or its representatives discuss the Loan Facility portion of the Transaction Financing.

provided, however, that the Receiving Party will first have given notice to the Disclosing Party and given the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to quash such order or subpoena and to obtain a protective order requiring that the Confidential Information and documents that are the subject of such order or subpoena be held in confidence by such court or governmental body or, if disclosed, be used only for purposes for which the order or subpoena was issued; provided further, however, that if a disclosure order or subpoena is not quashed or a protective order is not obtained, the Confidential Information disclosed in response to such court or governmental order or subpoena will be limited to that information which is legally required to be disclosed in such response to such court or governmental order or subpoena; (b) otherwise as required by law, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Receiving Party, as expressed in an opinion letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Disclosing Party, which will be provided to the Disclosing Party at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Receiving Party's disclosure of the Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 8.2;

(e) made by the Receiving Party to a United States tax authority; (f) made by the Receiving Party to its Representatives; provided, however, that (i) the Representative has a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement; (ii) the Receiving Party informs its Representatives receiving Confidential Information of its confidential nature; and (iii) the Receiving Party will be responsible for any breach of this Section 8 by any of its Representatives to the same extent as if the breach were by the Receiving Party; or (g) by NeoSan and aaiPharma with respect to the Financial Statements (and Confidential Information pertaining to the Products that is required, in the opinion of their outside SEC counsel, to be included in legally required filings or disclosures with the Securities and Exchange Commission or that, in the opinion of their outside counsel or of B of A, is commercially necessary in carrying out the Transaction Financing and subsequent public exchange offer for the Bond Offering (the "Subsequent Exchange Offer")) that are incorporated into, included in, or attached to, (I) aaiPharma's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to the entering into of this Agreement by the Parties, at such times as aaiPharma makes such filings as provided in Sections 6.6 or 6.25, subject to the conditions set forth in the three provisos at the end of Section 6.6 pertaining to disclosures that are required by Applicable Laws; provided, however, that such disclosure of information for which aaiPharma receives confidential treatment from the Securities and Exchange Commission will only be made to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and provided further that NeoSan and aaiPharma may use and disclose, without further restriction, Confidential Information included in any such filings or disclosures with the Securities and Exchange Commission which is not accorded confidential treatment by the Securities and Exchange Commission and, as a result, enters the public domain; and (II) the Offering Memoranda and other documents pertaining to the Transaction Financing and Subsequent Exchange Offer, (A) at any time (with respect to recipients who have entered into Confidentiality Agreements no less restrictive than those confidentiality obligations customarily used by B of A with Third 43 Persons in other similar transactions), and (B) at and after the time set forth in Section 6.25 (i.e., following the receipt of such Bond Financing Highly-Confident Letter or such legal advice of an earlier public disclosure or filing obligation (subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.25), whichever comes first) (with respect to the Offering Memoranda and other documents related to the Bond Offering and Subsequent Exchange Offer) to potential investors; provided, however, that such disclosures will only be made as permitted by and within the scope of Section 6.25. 8.3 NOTIFICATION. The Receiving Party will notify the Disclosing Party immediately, and cooperate with the Disclosing Party as the Disclosing Party may reasonably request, upon the Receiving Party's discovery of any loss or compromise of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. 8.4 REMEDIES. Each Party agrees that the unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information by the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement forming a part of this transaction will cause severe and irreparable damage to the Disclosing Party. In the event of any violation of this Article 8, the Receiving Party agrees that the Disclosing Party will be authorized and entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or monetary damages, as well as any other relief permitted by applicable law. The Receiving Party agrees to waive any requirement that the Disclosing Party post bond as a condition for obtaining any such relief. Except as otherwise limited pursuant to Section 11.7, below, the rights provided in the immediately preceding sentences will be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies that may be available to Disclosing Party. Nothing in this Section is intended, or should be construed, to limit a Party's right to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief or any other remedy for a breach of any other provision of this Agreement. ARTICLE 9 TERMINATION 9.1 TERMINATION PRIOR TO THE CLOSING. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated as follows prior to the Closing Date: (a) Termination for Insolvency. Each Party may immediately terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the other Party if the other Party (or, in the case of NeoSan, an Affiliate of NeoSan) is declared insolvent or bankrupt by a court of competent jurisdiction, or a voluntary petition of bankruptcy is filed in any court of competent jurisdiction 44 by the other Party (or, in the case of Neosan, an Affiliate of NeoSan), or an involuntary petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code is filed in a court of competent jurisdiction against the other Party (or, in the case of NeoSan, an Affiliate of NeoSan) which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days of its filing, or the other Party (or, in the case of NeoSan, an Affiliate of NeoSan) makes or executes any assignment for the benefit of creditors. (b) Termination for Default. Either Party may terminate this entire Agreement because of a material breach or material default of this Agreement by the other Party as follows: The terminating Party will give the other Party prior written notice thereof, specifying in reasonable detail the alleged material breach or material default, and if such alleged material breach or material default continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days with respect to monetary breaches or defaults or sixty (60) days with respect to non-monetary material breaches or material defaults after the date of receipt of the notification or, if the non-monetary material breach or material default reasonably cannot be corrected or remedied within sixty (60) days, then if (i) the defaulting Party has not commenced remedying said material breach or material default with said sixty (60) days and be diligently pursuing completion of same, and (ii) said material breach or material default has not been corrected or remedied within one-hundred twenty (120) days, then such terminating Party may immediately terminate this Agreement by again providing written notification to the defaulting Party. Except as otherwise limited pursuant to Section 11.7 of this Agreement and Section 11.2 of the Manufacturing Agreement, this Section 9.1(b) will not be exclusive and will not be in lieu of any other remedies available to a Party hereto for any breach or default hereunder on the part of the other Party. 9.2 TERMINATION FOLLOWING CLOSING. Following the Closing Date and the payment by NeoSan of the $211,400,000 to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1, this Agreement may not be terminated by either Party, except that Lilly may suspend the licenses granted pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 utilizing the procedures set forth in Section 9.1(b) as a result of any breach by NeoSan in the payment of Royalty Payments owed with respect to a NeoSan New Product in the United States only to the extent such licenses relate to the affected NeoSan New Product therein (but will have no such effect with respect to any Products or other NeoSan New Products in the United States and will not constitute a material breach of this Agreement or give Lilly any rights to terminate any rights of NeoSan hereunder whatsoever other than the foregoing express suspension with respect to the relevant NeoSan New Product) until and unless NeoSan pays Lilly any Royalty Payments so owed (including with respect to relevant Net Sales of such NeoSan New Product during any period of suspension), plus accrued interest as provided in Section 2.6, at which time such licenses will be automatically reinstated. 45 Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.2, the Parties agree that the sole and exclusive remedies following the Closing Date will be to seek injunctive relief to require compliance by the breaching Party and relief to seek damages (subject to Section 11.7) with respect to such breach. 9.3 TERMINATION OF SUBLICENSES. Any sublicenses granted by NeoSan under this Agreement with respect to the Licensed Technology or License Trademark and Trade Dress will provide for immediate termination (or suspension, as the case may be) upon termination (or suspension) of this Agreement or the licenses granted in Sections 3.2 and 3.3, as the case may be, to the same, and only to the same, extent as such termination (or suspension). 9.4 CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS. Termination of this Agreement for any reason will not relieve the Parties of any antecedent breach of the provisions of this Agreement or any obligation accruing prior thereto and, subject to Section 11.7, below, will be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of either Party with respect to any antecedent breach of the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, will serve to terminate the rights and obligations under Section 9.4 and Articles 8, 11 and 12 hereof, and such obligations will survive any such termination. 9.5 NON-EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. Except as otherwise limited pursuant to Section 11.7, below, the remedies set forth in this Article 9 or elsewhere in this Agreement will be in addition to, and will not be to the exclusion of, any other remedies available to the Parties at law, in equity or under this Agreement. ARTICLE 10 ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES BY NEOSAN Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, NeoSan hereby assumes and agrees, in each case, following the Closing Date, to bear and be responsible for and to perform and satisfy all responsibilities, duties (including compliance with all Applicable Laws), obligations, claims, Damages, liabilities, debts, burdens and problems of any nature whatsoever (whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated, matured or unmatured, determinable or undeterminable and due or to become due) (collectively, the "Obligations") to the extent arising following the Closing Date from NeoSan's ownership, licensing, operation and/or use of the Product Intellectual Property, the Marketing Materials, the Licensed Trademark and Trade Dress, the 46 NDAs, Books and Records and the Licensed Technology, as well as those associated directly or indirectly with the manufacturing (but only to the extent the Product has been manufactured by NeoSan or its contractor (other than Lilly)), distributing, marketing, promoting, selling or using the Product from and after the Closing Date, including all recalls, all warranty claims and all product liability claims (without regard to the nature of the causes of action alleged or theories of recovery asserted) arising in connection with Product sold on or after the Closing Date, except for those Obligations with respect to which Lilly is providing indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.1 of this Agreement, which Obligations will remain the responsibility of Lilly as set forth herein. All of the foregoing are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Assumed Liabilities." Notwithstanding the foregoing, NeoSan will not be deemed to, and does not, assume the Excluded Liabilities. ARTICLE 11 INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE 11.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY LILLY. Lilly will indemnify and hold NeoSan (and its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, and employees) harmless from and against any and all Damages incurred or suffered by NeoSan (and its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates' directors, officers and employees) to the extent caused by or arising out of or in connection with: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Lilly in this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement; (b) any failure to perform duly and punctually any covenant, agreement or undertaking on the part of Lilly contained in this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement; (c) any Excluded Liabilities; (d) Lilly's failure to comply in all material respects with Applicable Laws in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder or the Manufacturing Agreement; (e) the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lilly, its Affiliates, or its or its Affiliates' employees, agents or contractors (other than NeoSan); and (f) Lilly's and its Affiliates' conduct of Activities prior to the Closing Date, including the material compliance of such Activities pursuant to Applicable Law or applicable obligations pursuant to Contracts. 47 11.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY NEOSAN. NeoSan will indemnify and hold Lilly (and its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates' directors, officers and employees) harmless from and against any and all Damages incurred or suffered by Lilly (and its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates' directors, officers and employees) to the extent caused by or arising out of or in connection with: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by NeoSan in this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement; (b) any failure to perform duly and punctually any covenant, agreement or undertaking on the part of NeoSan contained in this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement; (c) any Assumed Liabilities; (d) any NeoSan New Product or assets related to the NeoSan New Products infringing or violating the patent rights or other intellectual property rights of Third Persons; (e) the manufacturing, handling, possession, marketing, distribution, promotion, sale, importation or use of the Product by NeoSan or a Permitted Seller after the Closing Date including any Third Person claim alleging breach of any express or implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or asserting strict liability, except to the extent such Damage is caused by Lilly Error (as defined in the Manufacturing Agreement), by a breach of this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement by Lilly or is an Excluded Liability; (f) NeoSan's failure to comply in all material respects with Applicable Laws in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder or under the Manufacturing Agreement or NeoSan's failure to comply with Applicable Laws relating to its using, importing, distributing, marketing, promoting and selling of the Product or NeoSan New Products on or following the Closing Date; (g) the handling, possession, marketing, distribution, promotion, sale, importation or use of any NeoSan New Product by NeoSan or any other Permitted Seller, including any Third Person claim alleging breach of any express or implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or asserting strict liability; and (h) the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of NeoSan, its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates' employees, agents or contractors (other than Lilly). 11.3 NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND. Promptly after receipt by a Party hereto of notice of any claim which could give rise to a right to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2, 48 such Party (the "Indemnified Party") will give the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") written notice describing the claim in reasonable detail. The failure of an Indemnified Party to give notice in the manner provided herein will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 11, except to the extent that such failure to give notice materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such claim. The Indemnifying Party will have the right, at its option, to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Party seeking such indemnification. The assumption of the defense of a claim by the Indemnifying Party will be construed as a binding acknowledgement that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any indemnitee for Damages in respect to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it will promptly (and in any event not more than ten (10) business days after receipt of the Indemnified Party's original notice) notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise or defense against any such asserted liability, provided that the Indemnified Party is not obligated to disclose legally privileged documents or information in such cooperation. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation will be borne by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend the asserted liability, fails to timely notify the Indemnified Party of its election to compromise or defend as herein provided, fails to admit its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement with respect to the claim, or, if in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, the claim could result in the Indemnified Party becoming subject to injunctive relief or relief (other than the payment of money damages) that could materially adversely affect the ongoing business of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party will have the right, at its option, to pay, compromise or defend such asserted liability by its own counsel and its reasonable costs, expenses, and any payment made therewith will be included as part of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, where such indemnification obligation exists hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim without consent of the other where such settlement or compromise would impose injunctive obligations on the non-settling or non-compromising Party or any Damages on the non-settling or non-compromising Party that are not subject to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that consent to settlement or compromise will not be unreasonably withheld. In any event, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may participate, at their own expense (or at the Indemnifying Party's expense, in the circumstances described above (i.e., if the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend the asserted liability where such indemnification obligation exists hereunder)), in the defense of such asserted liability. If the 49 Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnified Party will make available to the Indemnifying Party any non-privileged books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense; provided, however, any such books, records or other documents within the control of the Indemnified Party which are made available to the Indemnifying Party hereunder will be held in strict confidence by the Indemnifying Party (except to the extent disclosure is reasonably necessary for the defense of such claim) and will be disclosed by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party only to the extent that such books, records or other documents relate to the claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.3, (a) the Party conducting the defense of a claim will (1) keep the other Party informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of the defense of such claim (but only to the extent such other Party is not participating jointly in the defense of such claim), and (2) conduct the defense of such claim in a prudent manner, and (b) to the extent the Indemnifying Party has elected to defend a claim, the Indemnifying Party will not cease to defend such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). 11.4 INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENT OBLIGATION. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Lilly and NeoSan will have no obligations under subsections 11.1(a) and 11.2(a), respectively, of this Agreement and as incorporated by reference in the Manufacturing Agreement to indemnify the other Party (or its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates' directors, officers and employees) until the cumulative aggregate amount of Damages incurred or suffered by such other Party (or its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates' directors, officers and employees) which Lilly or NeoSan, as the case may be, is otherwise subject to under this Agreement and the Manufacturing Agreement exceeds one hundred thousand US Dollars (US$100,000) (the "Deductible Amount"), at which time Lilly or NeoSan will have the obligation under subsections 11.1(a) and 11.2(a), respectively, of this Agreement and as incorporated by reference in the Manufacturing Agreement to indemnify the other Party (or its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates' directors, officers and employees) only for Damages in excess of the Deductible Amount. 11.5 INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article 11 will be reduced by the net insurance proceeds received and any other amount recovered, if any, by the Indemnified Party with respect to any Damages; provided, however, that the foregoing will not under any circumstances reduce the Damages for which either Party is obligated to indemnify the other to the extent the insurance proceeds received result from a self-insurance program or are required to be repaid to the insurer upon recovery of Damages; provided, however, that to the extent that an insurance 50 claim would be made under a self-insurance program, an Indemnified Party will not be subject to an obligation to pursue an insurance claim relating to any Damages for which indemnification is sought hereunder, and provided further that the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for the present value of any increased premiums directly attributable to such claims for the five year period following such increase, discounted at a 15% discount rate. To the extent the preceding sentence is applicable, if any Indemnified Party will have received any payment pursuant to this Article 11 with respect to any Damages and will subsequently have received insurance proceeds or other amounts with respect to such Damages, then such Indemnified Party will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the difference (if any) between (a) the sum of the amount of those insurance proceeds or other amounts received and the amount of the payment by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 11 with respect to such Damages and (b) the amount necessary to fully and completely indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party from and against such Damages; provided, however, that in no event will such Indemnified Party have any obligation pursuant to this sentence to pay to such Indemnifying Party an amount greater than the amount of the payment by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 11 with respect to such Damages. 11.6 INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENT. Upon the final determination of liability and the amount of the indemnification payment under this Article 11, the Indemnifying Party will pay to the Indemnified Party, within ten (10) business days after such determination, the amount of any claim for indemnification made hereunder. 11.7 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR (i) THE COSTS OF RECALL ENUMERATED IN SECTION 10.3 OF THE MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT TO THE EXTENT SUCH COSTS CONSTITUTE INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AND (ii) WITH RESPECT TO DAMAGES INCURRED BY THIRD PERSONS FOR WHICH A PARTY HERETO OTHERWISE HAS AN INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 11.1 OR SECTION 11.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT OR SECTION 11.1 OF THE MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED OR UPON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING A PARTY'S OR ITS AFFILIATES' OWN NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR THE NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF A PARTY'S OR A PARTY'S AFFILIATES' EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS), ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OF, OR THE FAILURE TO PERFORM, ANY OBLIGATION(S) SET FORTH HEREIN. 51 NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, A PARTY'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO ALL INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES INCURRED BY THIRD PARTIES FOR WHICH SUCH PARTY HERETO OTHERWISE HAS AN INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 11.1 OR SECTION 11.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT OR SECTION 11.1 OF THE MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO FIVE MILLION US DOLLARS ($5,000,000). 11.8 INSURANCE. NeoSan will maintain at its own expense, with a reputable insurance carrier reasonably acceptable to Lilly, insurance coverage for NeoSan, written on a claims made basis, which will name Lilly as an additional insured, including errors and omissions insurance and comprehensive general liability insurance for claims for damages arising from bodily injury (including death) and property damages arising out of acts or omissions of NeoSan, which will be specifically endorsed to name Lilly as an additional insured. Minimum limits of such insurance (not warranted to be necessarily sufficient for the purposes of NeoSan's obligation under this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement) will be ten million US Dollars (US$10,000,000) annual aggregate coverage. Maintenance of such insurance coverage will not relieve NeoSan of any responsibility under this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement for damage in excess of insurance limits or otherwise. NeoSan will provide Lilly with a certificate from the insurer(s), evidencing such insurance coverage. 11.9 SURVIVAL. Each Indemnified Party's rights under Article 11 will not be deemed to have been waived or otherwise affected by such Indemnified Party's waiver of the breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained in or made pursuant this Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement, unless such waiver expressly and in writing also waives any or all of the Indemnified Party's right under Article 11. ARTICLE 12 MISCELLANEOUS 12.1 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that NeoSan may only assign this Agreement as follows: (a) NeoSan may freely make such assignments in NeoSan's sole discretion following the payment of the $211,400,000 pursuant to Section 2.1, for assignments 52 wherein NeoSan remains liable for the assignee's performance hereunder; and (b) NeoSan may make such assignments following such payment only with Lilly's consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, for assignments wherein NeoSan does not remain liable for the assignee's performance hereunder. 12.2 NOTICES.

No delay on the part of Lilly or NeoSan in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of either Lilly or NeoSan of any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. 12.4 ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
