If a Qualified Financing has occurred by the last day of the Holding Period and Parent has provided Purchasers with the officer’s certificate certifying such occurrence within two (2) Business Days of the expiration of the Holding Period, Parent shall be free to transfer the funds from the Segregated Account to such other account as Parent may determine and otherwise use the funds as it may determine in its sole discretion.

Section 8.04 Successors and Assigns.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and, subject to this Section 8.04 and the other provisions of this Agreement (including Section 5.12), their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be sold, transferred,

- 81 -


 

conveyed or assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by Seller or Parent, on the one hand, or Purchasers, on the other hand, without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that, subject to this Section 8.04 and the other provisions of this Agreement (including Section 5.12):

(a) Each Purchaser may sell, transfer, convey or assign its respective obligations and rights under the Transaction Documents without restriction and without the consent of Seller or Parent, in whole and not in part (including, for clarity, such Purchaser’s entire Purchased Interest), to an Affiliate or Third Party (provided in each case that such Person is not a competitor of Parent as reasonably determined by the disinterested members of the Board), subject to (x) such Affiliate or Third Party executing an agreement agreeing to be bound by all obligations of such Purchaser under this Agreement, the Operating Agreement and other Transaction Documents and (y) any successor Purchaser Director executing a Board Services Agreement.

(b) Each Purchaser may sell, transfer, convey or assign any portion of its Purchased Interest, in part but not in whole (with any sales, transfers, conveyances or assignments of such Purchaser’s entire Purchased Interest being subject to paragraph (a) above), with the consent of the disinterested members of the Board (subject to the applicable purchaser, transferee or assignee not being a competitor of Parent as reasonably determined by the disinterested members of the Board and such purchaser, transferee or assignee executing an agreement agreeing to be bound by all obligations of such Purchaser under this Agreement and other Transaction Documents), but upon any such partial sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment, such Purchaser’s Membership Units will be automatically deemed forfeited and cancelled, such Purchaser will no longer be entitled to designate a Purchaser Director, and such Purchaser shall cause such Purchaser’s designated Purchaser Director to resign from the Board in accordance with the Operating Agreement; provided that, prior to selling, transferring, conveying or assigning any portion of its Purchased Interest pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) to any Third Party who is not an existing Purchaser, a selling, transferring, conveying or assigning Designated Purchaser and its proposed purchaser, transferee or assignee shall enter into a voting agreement (or similar arrangement) clearly designating that either such Designated Purchaser or its proposed purchaser, transferee or assignee (but not both) shall be authorized to act on behalf of both such Designated Purchaser and its proposed purchaser, transferee or assignee for the sole purpose of providing (or withholding) any request of Purchasers or consent of Purchasers requested by Seller under this Agreement or otherwise providing any instruction or direction of Purchasers as provided under this Agreement. The selling, transferring, conveying or assigning Designated Purchaser and its purchaser, transferee or assignee shall promptly provide Parent, Seller and all other Purchasers with a joint written notice (together with a copy of such voting agreement or similar arrangement) informing Parent, Seller and the other Purchasers as to which of them is designated to act on behalf of both of them as the continuing or replacement Designated Purchaser, but in the absence of any such notice, Parent, Seller and the other Purchasers shall be entitled to assume that such selling, transferring, conveying or assigning Designated Purchaser remains the Designated Purchaser and has retained the sole ability to request, consent, instruct and/or direct. Parent, Seller and the other Purchasers shall be entitled to rely on any such notice without further investigation. Any subsequent proposed sale, transfer, conveyance, or assignment of any portion of a Purchaser’s Purchased Interest (including by any prior purchaser, transferee or assignee of any portion of a Purchaser’s Purchased Interest) pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) shall also be subject to the foregoing requirements (for clarity, the request/consent/instruction/direction right must either be

- 82 -


 

assigned or retained in full in connection with any sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment under this Section 8.04(b). Any request or consent from or instruction or direction to be given or provided under this Agreement by Purchasers shall require the request, consent, instruction or direction to be in writing and executed by all Designated Purchasers, and Parent and Seller shall not be obligated under this Agreement to comply with or follow any request, consent, instruction or direction that is not in writing and executed by all Designated Purchasers. In addition, at no time shall the number of Designated Purchasers that are entitled to provide any request, consent, instruction or direction to Parent or Seller under this Agreement be more than three (3), and any sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment under this Section 8.04(b) that would purport to result in more than three (3) Designated Purchasers having rights under this Agreement to provide requests, consents, instructions or directions to Parent or Seller shall be void and of no force or effect.

(c) Parent may, without the consent of Seller or Purchasers, sell, transfer, convey or assign this Agreement and its rights, interests and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party in connection with a Change of Control.

Any purchaser, transferee or assignee shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.07 in the same manner as the applicable seller, transferor or assignor (including with respect to the obligation to provide any applicable tax forms). Any permitted sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment under this Section 8.04 shall only be effective upon the written notification by the applicable party to the other parties hereto of such sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment.

Section 8.05 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 5.16 and Section 8.05(h) below, each of Parent and Seller, on a joint and several basis, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its Affiliates, and each of their successors and permitted assigns, and any of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees and agents (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against, and will pay to each Purchaser Indemnified Party the amount of, any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, whether or not involving a Third Party claim, demand, action or proceeding, arising out of: (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or verification made by Parent or Seller in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by Parent or Seller to Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document, (ii) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by Parent or Seller pursuant to any Transaction Document, (iii) any Excluded Liabilities and Obligations, (iv) claims arising on or after the Closing Date and asserted against a Purchaser Indemnified Party by any Third Party (including Almirall, Almirall LLC, any successor to Almirall or Almirall LLC, any Counterparty to any Other Product License or Other Product Agreement or any successor to such Counterparty) relating to the transactions contemplated in any Transaction Document, the License Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Other Product License or Other Product Agreement, and (v) any fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or other amounts incurred or owed by Parent or Seller to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Purchaser Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Purchaser Indemnified Party. Subject

- 83 -


 

to Section 5.16 and 8.05(h), any amounts due to any Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder shall be payable by Parent and Seller (jointly and severally) to such Purchaser Indemnified Party.

(b) Each Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller, Parent and their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns, and any of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees and agents (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against, and will pay to each Seller Indemnified Party the amount of, any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by such Seller Indemnified Party, whether or not involving a Third Party claim, demand, action or proceeding, arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or verification made by such Purchaser in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by such Purchaser to Parent or Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document; (ii) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by such Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document and (iii) any fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or other amounts incurred or owed by such Purchaser to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Seller Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Seller Indemnified Party.

(c) Third Party Claims. If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority) shall be brought or alleged by a Third Party 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, however, that the failure to promptly provide such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided for under this Section 8.05 except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such claim, demand, action or proceeding 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, to assume and control the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified 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 8.05 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, except in the event that (i) the indemnifying party is not diligently defending such claim, demand, action or proceeding or (ii) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such claim, demand, action or proceeding (as determined in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified party), in each of such cases the indemnified party may hire its own separate counsel (provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the indemnifying party) with respect to such claim, demand, action or proceeding and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement. With respect to any such claim, demand, action or proceeding for which the indemnifying party has assumed and is controlling the defense thereof, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the

- 84 -


 

reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party (subject to the immediately preceding sentence). The indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party in the defense of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding (which shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement) for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense of, or is not diligently defending, such claim, demand, action or proceeding. 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 (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened claim, action, demand or 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 in connection with such settlement the indemnifying party agrees to pay the full amount of the liability (if any) (including all Losses of the indemnified party) in connection with such claim, action, demand or proceeding and such settlement does not involve any non-monetary remedies against the indemnified party and releases the indemnified party completely and unconditionally in connection with such claim, action, demand or proceeding. The parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any such claim, action, demand or proceeding, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention of and the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, action, demand or proceeding, (ii) the making available of employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and (iii) the party that is controlling the defense of such claim, action, demand or proceeding keeping the other parties generally advised of its status and the defense thereof and considering in good faith recommendations of the non-controlling parties with respect thereto.

(d) Other Claims. A claim by an indemnified party under Section 8.04 for any matter not involving a claim of a Third Party and in respect of which such indemnified party seeks indemnification hereunder may be made by delivering, in good faith, a written notice of demand to the indemnifying party, which notice shall contain (a) a description and the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered or reasonably expected to be incurred or suffered by the indemnified party to the extent known, (b) a statement that the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under Section 8.05 for such Losses and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (c) a demand for payment in the amount of such Losses. For all purposes of this Section 8.05(d), Seller shall be entitled to deliver such notice of demand to the Purchasers on behalf of the Seller Indemnified Parties, and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deliver such notice of demand to Seller on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties. Within 30 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of any such notice, the indemnifying party may deliver to the indemnified party that delivered the notice a written response in which the indemnifying party (a) agrees that the indemnified party is entitled to the full amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party; (b) agrees that the indemnified party is entitled to part, but not all, of the amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party; or (c) indicates

- 85 -


 

that the indemnifying party disputes the entire amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party. If the indemnified party does not receive such a response from the indemnifying party within such 30 day period, then the indemnifying party shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the indemnified party is entitled to the full amount. If the indemnifying party and the indemnified party are unable to resolve any dispute relating to any amount of the Losses claimed in the notice from the indemnified party within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the response to such notice from the indemnifying party, then the parties shall be entitled to resort to any legal remedy available to such party to resolve such dispute, subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement.

(e) No claim for indemnification hereunder for breach of any representations or warranties contained in any Transaction Document or certificates given by any party in writing pursuant hereto or thereto may be made after the expiration of the survival period applicable to such representation or warranty; provided that any written claim for breach thereof made prior to such expiration date and delivered to the party against whom such indemnification is sought shall survive thereafter with respect to such claim and be processed in accordance with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 5.16 or this Section 8.05, as applicable.

(f) Following the Effective Date, the indemnification afforded by this Section 8.05 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses sustained or incurred by a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by a party hereto in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by a party in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by a party pursuant to any Transaction Document, the License Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, except that any Losses based upon fraud, knowing and intentional breach of covenant or willful misconduct shall not be limited by the provisions of this Section 8.05 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 8.01), and each of Purchasers, Parent and Seller accordingly preserves all remedies available with respect to any such Losses based thereon under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except in the case of any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority) brought or alleged by a Third Party against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought hereunder, in no event shall Losses include any punitive damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any breach or failure in performance of any covenant or agreement contained in any Transaction Document, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief. For clarity, no party shall have any right to terminate this Agreement or any other Transaction Document as a result of any breach by any other party hereof or thereof, but instead shall have the right, following the Closing Date, to seek indemnification under this Section 8.05 and such specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief or such other remedies as expressly reserved by the first sentence of this Section 8.05(e).

(g) Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 8.05 will be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all tax purposes.

(h) No claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.05(a) on account of any indemnification obligation required to be paid by Seller to any Purchaser Indemnified Party

- 86 -


 

under this Section 8.05 may be made by any Purchaser Indemnified Party against Parent, and Parent shall no longer be jointly and severally liable with Seller for Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Section 8.05, after the Parent Indemnity Expiration Date (and any claim for indemnification under Section 8.05(a) on account of any indemnification obligation required to be paid by Seller to any Purchaser Indemnified Party under this Section 8.05 brought after the Parent Indemnity Expiration Date may be brought by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties solely against Seller); provided that any written claim for indemnification against Parent under Section 8.05(a) on account of a breach by Seller made prior to the Parent Indemnity Expiration Date and delivered to Parent shall survive thereafter with respect to such claim and be processed in accordance with the indemnification procedures set forth in this Section 8.05.

(i) In addition, to the extent that Parent is deemed to have made any of the representations and warranties made by Seller that relate specifically to Seller (and only Seller) in Article III, Parent’s joint and several liability as maker of those representations and warranties shall expire as of the Parent Indemnity Expiration Date, and any claim for indemnification for a breach of any of those representations and warranties under Section 8.05(a) brought after the Parent Indemnity Expiration Date may only be brought against Seller; provided that any written claim for indemnification against Parent as maker of any of those representations and warranties for breach made under Section 8.05(a) prior to the Parent Indemnity Expiration Date and delivered to Parent shall survive thereafter with respect to such claim.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.05 to the contrary, any claim against Parent pursuant to the Parent Indemnity set forth in Section 5.16(a)(i) shall be governed by Section 5.16 (and not this Section 8.05) and shall be paid by Parent to Purchasers when required under Section 5.16 and without having to comply with the indemnifications procedures set forth in Sections 8.05(a), (c), (d), (e) and (f) above.

Section 8.06 Independent Nature of Relationship.

(a) The relationship between Seller, on the one hand, and Purchasers, on the other hand, is solely that of seller and purchaser, and neither Purchasers nor Seller nor Parent 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 Seller and Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other kind of entity or legal form.

(b) No officer or employee of any Purchaser will be located at the premises of Seller, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates.

(c) Seller, Parent and/or their respective Affiliates shall not at any time obligate any Purchaser, or impose on any Purchaser any obligation, in any manner or respect other than as set forth in the Transaction Documents or as otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser.

Section 8.07 Tax.

(a) For United States federal, state and local tax purposes, Seller and Purchasers intend to treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale for United States tax purposes. The parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the

- 87 -


 

provisions of this Section 8.07(a) 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 tax advisors in writing that there is no "reasonable basis" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6662-3(b)(3)) for the position specified in this Section 8.07(a).

(b) To the extent any amount of tax is withheld at source from a payment made pursuant to the License Agreement, such withheld amount shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as paid to the party with respect to whom such withholding was made, or, if no such party exists, then to Seller and Purchasers on a pro rata basis in accordance with each party’s underlying ownership interest in each such payment (taking into account any amounts withheld); e.g., with respect to Purchasers, amounts so withheld shall be attributed to Purchasers, and deemed paid to Purchasers, in accordance with their respective Purchased Interests, and conversely, with respect to Seller, amounts so withheld shall be attributed to Seller, and deemed paid to Seller, in accordance with the Retained Interest. Any amounts withheld at source as described in this Section 8.07(b) attributable to Purchasers shall be credited for the account of Purchasers, and any amounts withheld at source as described in this Section 8.07(b) attributable to Seller shall be credited for the account of Seller. If there is an inquiry by any Governmental Authority of either Purchaser related to withholding taxes described in this Section 8.07(b), Seller shall cooperate with such Purchaser in responding to such inquiry in a reasonable manner consistent with this Section 8.07(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree to provide any Person that is a withholding agent for tax purposes any requested documentation necessary to establish an exemption from or reduction of applicable withholding taxes with respect to payments under the License Agreement, including, in the case of a Purchaser, an Applicable Withholding Exemption Certificate; and in the event the failure to provide such documentation results in the imposition of withholding, then such withholding shall be attributed to the party responsible for such failure for purposes of this Section 8.07(b). All amounts withheld at source as described herein shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have been received by the party to which they are attributed as provided above. Notwithstanding the above, the parties do not currently intend to deduct or withhold any amount from any payment made hereunder, provided that Purchasers provide an Applicable Withholding Exemption Certificate and such Applicable Withholding Exemption Certificate has not become obsolete or expired in any respect; provided, further, that if it is determined that such withholding is required, (i) the parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate so as to eliminate or reduce any such withholding, and (ii) neither Seller nor Purchasers shall have any obligation to gross up or otherwise pay the other parties any amounts that are deducted and withheld from any such payment in accordance with Applicable Law.

Section 8.08 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules hereto (which, for the avoidance of doubt, include any updates to the Disclosure Schedules delivered on the Effective Date and the Closing Date) (which are incorporated herein by reference), the Bills of Sale, the Operating 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, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the parties with

- 88 -


 

respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein (or in the Exhibits, Disclosure Schedules, Bills of Sale, Operating Agreement or other Transaction Documents) has been made or relied upon by either party hereto. None of this Agreement, nor any provision hereof, other than Section 8.05, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 8.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the city of New York and County of New York, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by mail to such party's address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. Each of Parent, Seller and Purchasers irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
