  4.5 Licensing Restrictions. From the Effective Date, Seller shall not grant a license to any of the Intellectual Property licensed to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4 for use in the research, development, manufacture, registration, import/export, use, commercialization, distribution, sale and/or offer for sale of the Products or products that compete with the Products in any way whatsoever or otherwise grant or enter into any agreement, arrangement or commitment according to which a third party is granted any rights that would derogate from or conflict with the rights granted to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.

  

5. Diligence Obligation and Buy Back Option

 

  5.1 Diligence Obligations. The control of the Acquired Assets and the business related thereto on and after Closing will rest exclusively with Buyer and Seller shall not have any right to object to the manner in which same are handled or conducted after the Closing, including any rights to prevent the merger or consolidation of Buyer, any sale or transfer of any shares of Buyer or any assets of Buyer to any third Person or the acquisition of any interests in or assets of any third Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer will, if the Closing does occur, make a good faith, continuous and commercially reasonable effort to allocate appropriate financial resources (by itself and/or thorough cooperation with third party partners) to prepare, initiate and complete the clinical development of the Products (with the exception of Picoconda) and file an application for regulatory marketing approval in accordance with industry standards (the “Diligence Obligation”). For the avoidance of any doubt, development failures, negative regulatory decisions, and/or other reasons that are beyond Buyer's control, shall not constitute a breach of the Diligence Obligation.

 


Buyer agrees to keep Seller informed with respect to activities and progress toward further research, development and commercialization of the Products. Towards this end, as of six months following the Closing, and bi-annually thereafter, Buyer shall promptly provide Seller with written reports summarizing such activities as well as the prosecution and maintenance activities planned or due in respect of the Patents deemed by Buyer to be necessary for the development of the respective Products. Buyer agrees to give Seller written notice as soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days after Buyer becomes aware of the occurrence thereof, of any event of which Buyer becomes aware that is materially related to the safety of a Product (such as serious adverse events) or that concerns any material developments, material failures (including, without limitation, the grant of any regulatory approval), or material events.

 

  5.2 Buy Back Option. Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for a material breach by Buyer of the Diligence Obligation in respect of any of the Products that is not remedied within ninety (90) days of notice by Seller of such breach, shall be the option to acquire the relevant Product, as well as the Intellectual Property, Technology Intellectual Property and Assigned Agreements associated with the relevant Product (the "Relevant Therapy") at the Buy-Back Price (the “Buy Back Option”).

 

If Seller wishes to exercise its Buy Back Option then it must give a written notice to Buyer of such intention (the "Notice of Intention"). The Notice of Intention must specify: (i) the circumstances upon which Seller is relying in order to effect the Buy Back Option; and (ii) its proposed date for acquiring legal and beneficial ownership in the relevant Product that is the subject of the Buy-Back. The Notice of Intention does not constitute a notice exercising the Buy Back Option.

 

Promptly, but no later than 21 days after receiving the Notice of Intention, Buyer must calculate the Buy Back Price and give written notice to Seller of same (the "Notice of Buy Back Price"). Buyer must also provide Seller at the time its gives the aforementioned notice with reasonable evidence substantiating its calculations and with a reasonable opportunity to undertake due diligence on the Relevant Therapy.

 

The “Buy Back Price” with respect to the Product the subject of the Notice of Intention shall be equal to Buyer’s purchase price of the relevant Products as set out in Exhibit 5.2 as well as the Development Costs incurred by Buyer in connection with the Relevant Therapy up to the date of such sale back to Seller.

 

If Buyer does not dispute Seller’s provision of the Notice of Intention and does not remedy the material breach, Seller will have 30 days after its receipt of the Notice of Buy Back Price from Buyer to exercise the Buy Back Option. The Buy Back Option may be exercised by Seller giving a written exercise notice to Buyer together with payment of the Buy Back Price without any set-off, counterclaim or any other condition (the "Exercise Notice").

 

Promptly, but no later than 30 days after the receipt by Buyer of the Exercise Notice, Buyer must transfer to Seller (or its nominee which must be an Affiliate) all rights of Buyer in the Relevant Therapy "as-is" with no representations or warranties whatsoever free and clear of all Liens on title created by Buyer. Buyer must also transfer to Seller (or its nominee which must be an Affiliate) all its rights in and under Assigned Agreements which relate to the Relevant Therapy at the same time as the transfer of legal and beneficial ownership of the Relevant Therapy by entering into assignment agreements equivalent in form and substance to those provided by Seller at the Closing hereunder, mutatis mutandis, or that are otherwise to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer. The provisions of Section 14.1 will apply to sale of the Relevant Therapy except that all references to "Buyer" shall be construed as "Seller (or its nominee)", and vice versa. Any costs associated with the transfer of the Relevant Therapy and associated Assigned Agreements to the Seller pursuant to exercise of the Buy Back Option shall be borne by Seller.

 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Option granted by Buyer to Seller in accordance with this Section may be separately exercised by Seller (or its nominee who must be an Affiliate) in respect of any Product which Buyer has committed a material breach of the Diligence Obligations. The occurrence of a dispute between the parties will not prejudice Seller's right to acquire the Relevant Therapy following the resolution of that dispute.

 

As of the date of the relevant Exercise Notice, all Buyer’s obligations related to the Product and Relevant Therapy covered by the Exercise Notice shall terminate.

  

  5.3 No Assurance. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a warranty by Buyer that any commercialization to be carried out by it in connection with this Agreement will actually achieve its aims or any other results and Buyer makes no warranties whatsoever as to any results to be achieved in consequence of the carrying out of any such commercialization. Furthermore, Buyer makes no representation to the effect that the commercialization of any of the Products, or any part thereof, will succeed, or that it shall be able to sell any of the Products in any quantity. The foregoing provision does not qualify the obligation of Buyer to use its good faith, continuous and commercially reasonable effort to fulfill the Diligence Obligation in accordance with Section 5.1.

 

6. Payments

 

  6.1 Up-Front Payment. Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, USD $500,000 (USD five hundred thousand) to Seller to the account listed in Exhibit 6.1 (the “Closing Payment”). [****]. All payments will be made to the account listed in Exhibit 6.1 unless otherwise instructed by Seller a reasonable time prior to the date of payment.

 

  6.1A Use of Advance and Grant of Charge. Seller shall use the Advance solely for the payment of the costs and expenses listed in Exhibit 6.1A. In the event that the Closing shall not take place within 45 days of the Effective Date, for any reason whatsoever, the full amount of the Advance shall be repaid to the Buyer immediately upon the expiration of such 45 day period; provided that in the event that prior to such time the Seller’s Board of Directors rescinds its approval of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Seller's shareholders consider and do not approve the transactions contemplated hereby, the full amount of the Advance shall be repaid to the Buyer immediately following that occurrence.

 

The Advance shall be secured by a registered first ranking equitable mortgage in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer for the benefit of the Buyer on the entirety of the Technology Intellectual Property (the “Collateral” and the “Mortgage”), as well as a featherweight floating charge in a form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer over all the assets of the Seller (“Featherweight Charge”).

 

Seller will immediately file the Mortgage and Featherweight Charge (each, a “Charge”) and any reports or documents required to record them with ASIC and the Australian Patent Office and with all foreign equivalents thereof in jurisdictions where Technology Intellectual Property is registered and with any other local or foreign authority as required to give force, effect and priority to each Charge. Seller shall be liable for any amounts required to be paid in order to accomplish such registrations. The Seller hereby represents that the Collateral and all other assets that are subject to the Charge as at the time of the creation of the Charge are free and clear of all mortgages, Liens, loans and encumbrances, claims or any other rights that might impair the rights or the priority of the Buyer pursuant to the Mortgage or the Featherweight Charge. The Seller shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any liens on the Collateral or any other assets that are subject to the Charge at any time, without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

 

The Seller shall promptly notify the Buyer in writing of any Insolvency Event that it suffers or is threatened against Seller or any of its assets.

 


Without limiting in any way the responsibility and obligations of the Seller and not as substitute to such obligations, the Seller hereby irrevocably appoints the Buyer as its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, to act in the name of and at the expense of the Seller in order to do any such act, including without limitation to sign in the name of the Seller any and all documents as may in the opinion of the Buyer be necessary in order to exercise the rights of the Buyer under the Mortgage and/or the Featherweight Charge and realize same. The foregoing right is only exercisable if: (a) Seller suffers an Insolvency Event; or (b) Seller has failed to repay the Advance when required in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (c) Seller fails to comply with its Closing obligations set out in Section 8.1 (the “Event of Default”).

 

Without derogating from the terms of the Charges, upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event or any Event of Default, the Buyer shall be entitled to take all such steps allowed by Applicable Law as it sees fit to collect and realize the Collateral including, without limitation, the appointment of a receiver or manager (the “Receiver”). Seller hereby, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, irrevocably agrees to the appointment of such Receiver and waives any claim or right to object to such appointment.

 

Unless otherwise provided in the Charges, Seller alone shall be responsible for the remuneration of the Receiver. The Receiver shall be empowered to do the following:

 

  (a) to take possession of the assets the subject of the Charges and for that purpose to take any proceedings in the Seller’s name or otherwise as the Receiver shall see fit;

 

  (b) to sell or agree to the sale of the assets the subject of the Charges, in whole or in part, or to transfer the same, including without limitation to the Buyer, in any manner and upon such conditions as the Receiver may see fit;

 

  (c) to make any other arrangement with respect to the assets the subject of the Charges or any part thereof as the Receiver may see fit;

 

  (d) to do all other acts and things which the Receiver may consider to be incidental or conducive to any of the above powers.

 

Unless otherwise provided in the Charges, all reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Buyer in connection with all proceedings for enforcement of the Charges shall be recoverable from the Seller.

 

  6.2 Revenue Sharing Payments. [****]. Buyer will pay Seller an amount equal to 7% of Net Sales, and 20% of Sublicense Receipts, actually received by Buyer and/or its Affiliates in respect of the relevant Product, all after recovery by Buyer of all costs and expenses that exceed the Budget (collectively, “Revenue Sharing Payments”).

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligation applies to Buyer in respect of products which incorporate some or all of the Patents of the applicable Product.

 

Seller shall be fully and solely responsible for all payments to Borody and the Australian Centre for Digestive Diseases and for any additional payments required to be paid to any third party with respect to the exploitation of the Technology to the extent such payment arises from circumstances that constitute a breach of Seller’s representations hereunder.

 

  6.3 Due Dates for Payment of Revenue Sharing Payments. All payments due pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2 above shall be due and payable to Seller on a calendar quarterly basis within sixty (60) days following the end of the applicable calendar quarter during which the relevant Net Sales or Sublicense Receipts were actually received by Buyer or its Affiliates. The Buyer must procure its Affiliates who sell the Products to comply with the foregoing obligation.

 


  6.4 Payment Method. Any amounts due to Seller under this Agreement will be paid in U.S. dollars, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to the account specified in Exhibit 6.1.

 

  6.5 Currency; Foreign Payments. If any currency conversion will be required in connection with the calculation of any payment hereunder, such conversion will be made by using the exchange rate for the purchase of U.S. dollars as published in Europe Edition of the Wall Street Journal (online edition), on the date of the payment. If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of any payments in any jurisdiction, Buyer may notify Seller and make such payments by depositing the amount thereof in local currency in a bank account or other depository in such country in the name of Seller or its designee, and Buyer will have no further obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto.

 

  6.6 Invoice; Approvals. Buyer will inform Seller of the amount payable pursuant to any payment to be made hereunder all payments to be made by Buyer to Seller under this Agreement shall be made against receipt of an appropriate invoice in respect of the amount of such payment. Buyer will make payment of all Revenue Sharing Payments into the account of Seller specified in Exhibit 6.1 unless otherwise directed by Seller in writing beforehand and promptly provide the invoice. In the event any payment may require approval of any Governmental Authority, Buyer undertakes to promptly file for approval after engaging in reasonable prior consultation with Seller and in the event that such approval is not received by the due date of payment, Buyer undertakes to effectuate payment as soon as possible following the receipt of the necessary approval. The cost of obtaining any government approvals will be solely borne by Buyer.

  

  6.7 Gross Payments; Taxes. All amounts to be paid to Seller hereunder are gross amounts and are final and inclusive of any applicable Taxes. Any applicable Taxes shall be borne and paid for exclusively by Seller. Buyer may deduct from amounts paid to Seller pursuant to this Agreement any amounts required under Applicable Law to be withheld at source (including VAT) including under any applicable treaty or law. Buyer will provide Seller a certificate evidencing payment of any Withholding Taxes and such other available documentation as is necessary to enable Seller to promptly claim any input tax credits or tax rebates.

 

7 Record Retention and Audit

 

  7.1 Record Retention and Access. Buyer will maintain, and procure its Affiliates who sell Products to maintain, complete, accurate, up-to-date and auditable books, records and accounts in relation to the Net Sales, Sublicense Receipts, and Development Costs, in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of Revenue Sharing Payments and the Buy Back Price payable in accordance with this Agreement. The aforementioned books, records and accounts must be retained for seven (7) after the end of the period to which such books, records and accounts pertain or as required by regulatory authorities in any territory with respect to the books and records applicable to such territory. Buyer will, and will procure its Affiliates, to provide an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing, reasonably acceptable to Buyer and who agrees to be bound by a customary undertaking of confidentiality with reasonable access to the aforementioned books, records and accounts upon receiving a reasonable request to do so for the sole purpose of complying with an order, request or demand made by a Government Authority until the expiration of seven (7) years following termination of this Agreement.

 


  7.2 Audit. Seller will have the right, at its own cost, to have an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing, reasonably acceptable to Buyer and who agrees to be bound by a customary undertaking of confidentiality, have access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, to Buyer’s books, records and accounts (including, without limitation, electronic records and accounts) as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of Net Sales, Sublicense Receipts and Royalties, as applicable, for any period ending not more than twenty-four (24) months prior to the date of such request; provided, however, that Seller will not have the right to conduct more than one such audit in any calendar year or more than one such audit covering any given time period. The auditing firm will disclose to Seller only the results of its audit and not any other information. Any such audit shall be made during Buyer’s normal business hours and shall not unreasonably interfere with the business of Buyer and shall be completed within a reasonable timeframe. Seller will bear all the costs of such audit, unless a discrepancy of more than 5% exists in favor of the Seller in which case the Buyer will bear the costs of said audit. If, based on the results of such audit, additional payments are owed by Buyer under this Agreement, Buyer shall, at its own cost, have an additional thirty (30) days to conduct an additional (second) audit to verify Seller’s audit results and the discrepancies found during the first audit, and, assuming the two audits reconcile, Buyer shall make such additional payments within thirty (30) days after the date on which such second accounting firm’s written report is delivered to Buyer. Buyer will promptly, but no later than 7 days after the receipt of the second accounting firm's written report, give a copy of that report to Seller. If the results of the two audits do not reconcile, then the parties must engage in good faith negotiations for a period of thirty (30) days with the view of resolving the audit discrepancies as soon as possible. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement as to how the audit discrepancies should be resolved, then a party may engage a third independent auditor (who will be selected by the head of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel if the parties are unable to agree an auditor) to review the discrepancies between the two audits and conduct (if necessary) a third and final audit to resolve those discrepancies. The third auditor will provide its draft report to Seller and Buyer for their reasonable comment and review before finalizing same. The determination of the third auditor will be final and binding on the parties in the absence of manifest error. The parties shall equally share the costs incurred by the third auditor to be conducted, unless the third audit substantially confirms the results of the either parties’ individual audit in which case the cost of such audit shall be paid by the other party hereto.

 

  7.3 Confidentiality. Seller will treat all information subject to review under this Section 7 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Section 14 below.

 

  7.4 Audit of Buyer’s Affiliate. Buyer must procure those Affiliates who sell Products to comply with a written request made by Seller to audit the books, records and accounts of the aforementioned Buyer’s Affiliates.

The foregoing restrictions do not apply if Seller proposes to exercise or exercises its Buy Back Option.

 

  13.2.2 Period of Restraint. The undertakings in Sections 13.1 and 13.2 are given for a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on

  13.2.4 Sections 13.2.1, 13.2.2, and 13.2.3 have effect together as if they consisted of separate provisions, each being independent and severable from each of the others. Each separate provision results from combining each undertaking in Section 13.2.1 with each period in Section 13.2.2 and combining each of those combinations with each separate area inSection 13.2.3. If any of those separate provisions is invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other separate provisions or other combinations of those separate provisions of Sections 13.2.2 and 13.2.3.

  (i) all the prohibitions and restrictions contained in this Sections 13.2.1, 13.2.2., 13.2.3 and 13.2.4 are reasonable in the circumstances and necessary to protect the goodwill in the Products and Technology acquired by Buyer;

 

  (ii) damages are not an adequate remedy if Section 13.2.1 is breached; and

 

  (iii) Buyer may apply for injunctive relief if:

 

  (A) Seller or its Affiliate breaches or threatens to breach Section 13.2.1; or

 

  (B) it believes Seller or its Affiliate is likely to breach Section 13.2.

 

  13.3 Operations Prior To Closing. During the period from the Effective Date and continuing until the Closing, Seller agrees to exploit the Technology in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. Furthermore, Seller agrees to pay all indebtedness when due, to use reasonable efforts to pay or perform other obligations when due and agree to preserve the business conducted with respect to the Acquired Assets, the Acquired Assets and Technology and preserve the relationships of Seller with suppliers, investigators, distributors, licensors, licensees, and others having business dealings with them, all with the goal of preserving unimpaired the goodwill and ongoing businesses of Seller relating to the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, the Technology and the Products at the Closing.

  13.5. Insolvency Events. Following the Closing, Seller undertakes:

 

  13.5.1 not to voluntarily effect the winding up or dissolution of Seller, if the Seller is solvent in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act;

  13.7. Use of Name and Trademarks. Seller agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that from and after the Closing that it will not use the names “Myoconda®”, “Heliconda®”, and “Picoconda®” or any abbreviation of or derivation from such names or any names similar to them in any form whatsoever, including in respect of advertising and promotional materials, except as required in reports to regulatory authorities (including ASX and ASIC), in audit reports for the Seller’s annual reports, and in communications to Seller’s shareholders in respect of Revenue Sharing Payments and sublicensing fees received hereunder. Seller agrees that from and after the Closing, it will not use, license or authorize any third party to use, any other name, slogan, logo, trade name or trademark (“Name”) or any abbreviation of or derivation from any such Name or any Name similar to any Name used in connection with the Acquired Assets or the Technology or the Products as of the Closing Date.

No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation in accordance with this Section 13.8 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

  13.9 No Liability for Employees. Buyer does not assume any obligation of Seller to any of its employees or consultants, or to any former employees or consultants of Seller and Seller shall remain solely and exclusively responsible and liable therefor.

 

  13.10. Public Statement. Except if Seller needs to respond to any inquiry made by the ASX or make an urgent announcement, the parties shall use their reasonable endeavours to agree upon a statement or communication to the public or press or announcement to the ASX concerning this Agreement to be released upon the Closing. All other statements or communications to the public or press concerning the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be mutually agreed upon, other than statements and communications which contain information which was previously released as agreed upon between the parties, for which approval is not required. Nothing herein shall prevent a party hereto from releasing any information if required to do so by Applicable Law, in which case best efforts to consult with the other parties will be made prior to any such release so that they may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and further provided that in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the disclosing party shall furnish only that portion of the information which is legally required. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, until the Closing, the parties may individually contact all relevant third parties in connection with the third party approvals and/or letters of assignment contemplated by this Agreement and following the Closing, any such contact shall be made only by Buyer or at Buyer's request by the parties together.

 

  13.12 Costs and Expenses of Transfer. All costs and expenses related to the assignment of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to Buyer shall be borne by Seller.

 

  13.13 Access to Records. For a period of seven (7) years after the date of the last payment made in accordance with Section 6.2, Buyer and its representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records relating to the Acquired Assets which Seller or any of its Affiliates may retain after the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by Seller and its Affiliates upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. If Seller or any of its Affiliates shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such seven (7) year period, Seller shall, prior to such disposition, give Buyer a reasonable opportunity, at Buyer’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as Buyer may select.

 


  13.14 Combination Products. If Buyer sells a Combination Product during the term of this Agreement, then Buyer must promptly enter into good faith negotiations with Seller with a view to agreeing the value of the other product or device included in the Combination Product before any Revenue Sharing Payments are made in respect of that Combination Product. Buyer must also provide all information reasonably requested to determine the value of the other product or device included in the Combination Product. If the parties are unable to agree the value of the other product or device included in the Combination Product, then the dispute will be resolved in accordance with Section 17.5.

 

  13.15 Loss Leaders. If Buyer gives away Products free of charge as ‘loss-leaders’ in order to promote sales of other products, Net Sales of such Products will be calculated based on the average unit selling price of such Product at the relevant time.

 

  13.16 Insurance. Buyer agrees to procure and maintain from a reputable insurer insurance policies against such liabilities in respect of the development and commercialization of the Products as are customary and necessary in the industry.

 

  13.17 Patents. Buyer undertakes to inform Seller in writing promptly if Buyer decides not to prosecute and maintain a Patent. In such event Seller shall have the right to take over the prosecution, maintenance, development and commercialization of that Patent within the relevant jurisdiction at its own cost and expense by giving Buyer a written notice of its intention to do so within 30 days of receiving the written notice from Buyer. If Seller exercises its foregoing right then: (a) Buyer will promptly provide all information reasonably requested by Seller for the sole purpose of assisting Seller to prosecute, maintain, develop and commercialise the Patent in the relevant jurisdiction; and (b) Seller will have the right to all revenue received from sales of the Product made by Seller pursuant to such Patent in the relevant jurisdiction notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement. The foregoing right does not prejudice the right of Seller to exercise its Buy Back Option pursuant to Section 5.2 in respect of the Relevant Therapy.

 

14. Confidentality

 

  14.1 Subject to any obligation to comply with Applicable Law, ASX Listing Rule, court order, and except as expressly set forth herein, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all information obtained by each party hereto (the “receiving party”) about the other party hereto (the “disclosing party”) shall be maintained in strict confidence and the receiving party shall cause its affiliated entities, officers, employees and agents to keep such information strictly confidential. In addition, receiving party shall not make any use of such information other than strictly for purposes hereof. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, receiving party shall promptly return or cause to be returned to the disclosing party all written data, information, files, records and copies of documents in whatever form, obtained by receiving party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event that the receiving party is subject to disclosure duties under Applicable Laws, the receiving party shall have the right to make any disclosure of information only to the extent required under such laws. Furthermore, this confidentiality undertaking shall not apply with regard to information which: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure thereof by any receiving party; (ii) is lawfully received by the receiving party or any affiliate thereof from a third party under no obligation of confidentiality or nondisclosure to the disclosing party; (iii) the receiving party or any affiliate thereof had prior knowledge with respect thereto, as evidenced in written records.

  14.3 Seller, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and its representatives, acknowledges that in view of the nature of the Confidential Information and the objectives of each of Buyer and Seller in entering into this Agreement, the restrictions contained in Section 14.2 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer after the Closing, and that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of Section 14.2 will cause irreparable injury to Buyer for which an adequate monetary remedy does not exist. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach of this Section 14.2, Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to the exercise of other remedies, to seek and obtain injunctive relief, without necessity of posting a bond, restraining Seller, its Affiliate or its representatives, as applicable, from committing such breach or threatened breach.

17. Dispute Resolution

 

  17.1 Disputes.    A party to this Agreement must not commence legal proceedings against another party to this Agreement, unless the party wishing to commence legal proceedings has first complied with Sections 17.2 to 17.5 (inclusive). Sections 17.2 to 17.5 (inclusive) shall not apply if a party seeks an interlocutory injunction or order of equitable relief from a court. The provisions of this Section 17 do not apply in relation to a dispute arising from the results of an audit which shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2.

 

  17.2 Notice of Dispute.    When a party claims that a dispute has arisen under this Agreement, that party must serve a written notice of that dispute to the other party.

 

  17.3 Appointment of Representative.    Following the notification of a dispute pursuant to Section 17.2, the parties must each within three days appoint a representative to resolve the dispute. The representatives appointed pursuant to this Section 17.3 shall make good faith efforts to resolve the dispute within 30 days of the other party receiving the notification in accordance with Section 17.2.

 


  17.4 Independent Expert.    If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute in accordance with Section 17.3 and the dispute relates to the fair market value of the consideration received from the Product sales or the value of Net Sales generated from Combination Products or the fair market value of the Products given away as 'loss leaders', then the parties will appoint an independent expert to resolve that dispute. If the parties are unable to agree the independent expert within 5 days of the expiry of the notice period referred to in Section 17.3, then a party may ask the head of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel to appoint an independent accountant to resolve the dispute. Both parties must co-operate with the independent expert in good faith and provide all information reasonable required by the independent expert provided that expert is subject to a confidentiality obligation. The independent expert must provide its draft report to Seller and Buyer for their reasonable comment and review before finalizing same. The independent expert must provide its draft recommendations within 30 days of the date of their appointment. The parties must provide their comments on the draft report of the independent expert within 5 days of receiving same. The independent expert must take into account the parties' comments on the draft recommendations and finalize his report within 5 days of the expiry of the 5 day consultation period. A failure by a party to do so will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of the recommendations of the independent expert. The determination of the independent expert will be final and binding on the parties in the absence of manifest error. The costs of the independent expert will be shared by the parties equally.

Exhibit 11

 

Disclosure Schedule to

Asset Purchase Agreement

Given by Giaconda Limited

 

11 August 2010

  

STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

SUBJECT TO DUE DILIGENCE

 

This Disclosure Schedule is provided by Giaconda Limited pursuant to Section 11 of the Asset Purchase Agreement between Giaconda Limited and Redhill Biopharma Ltd (the "Agreement").

 

Terms of Provision

This Disclosure Schedule is subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a) capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined have the meanings given to those terms in the Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise;

 

(b) the introductory language and headings to each section of this Disclosure Schedule are inserted for convenience only and do not create a different standard for disclosure than the language set forth in the Agreement;

 

(c) the inclusion of any item in any section of this Disclosure Schedule, which section requires the listing of a “material” item or an item or action that would have a Material Adverse Effect, is not an admission that the included item is “material”;

 

(d) the inclusion of any item in any section of this Disclosure Schedule, which section requires the listing of an item or action which is not in the ordinary course of business is not an admission that the included item or action is not in the ordinary course of business;

 

(e) where the terms of a document or other disclosure item have been summarized or described in this Disclosure Schedule, that summary or description does not purport to be a complete statement of the material terms of the document or other item and are qualified in their entirety by the document itself; provided however, that Seller represents and warrants that such summary or description does not misstate any of the statements or information included therein, or omit to state a fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

 

(f) disclosure of any information or document is not a statement or admission that it is required to be disclosed;

 

(g) the Disclosure Schedule is not intended to constitute, and must not be construed as constituting, representations or warranties or covenants of the Company, except as and to the extent provided in the Agreement. The fact that any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule is not required to be disclosed in order to render the applicable representation or warranty to which it relates true, or that the absence of any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule would not constitute a breach of such representation or warranty, must not be deemed or construed to expand the scope of any representation or warranty or to establish a standard of disclosure in respect of any representation or warranty. No implication can be drawn that any information provided in the Disclosure Schedule is necessarily material or otherwise required to be disclosed, or that the inclusion of any information establishes or implies a standard of materiality or any other standard set forth in the Agreement. Nothing in this Disclosure Schedule constitutes an admission against Giaconda's interest.

 


 

Interpretation

 

The section numbers below correspond to the section numbers of the representations and warranties in the Agreement most directly modified by the exceptions. Any information disclosed in this Disclosure Schedule is disclosed and incorporated in any other sections, schedules or exhibits of the Agreement where that disclosure is applicable if that applicability is readily apparent from the disclosure.

 


Section 11.1
(Corporate Organization and Power)
1.           Seller was incorporated with ASIC on 23 February 2004.
2.           Other than what is disclosed in the answer to Section 11.7.1, Seller is not required to and does not hold any licences, authorizations, consents and Approvals of any Governmental Authority required to carry on its business and to own, lease and operate its assets and properties as now owned, leased and operated.
 
Section 11.2
(Authorization)
1.           The Board of Directors of Seller have the power under clause 12.1 of the Seller's Constitution to authorise Seller to enter and bind itself to the Agreement and Ancillary Agreements subject to complying with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the ASX Listing Rules.
 
2.           The Board of Directors of Seller on Saturday 7 August 2010 resolved to enter into and execute the Agreement, Mortgage, Charge and any ancillary agreements.
 
3.            Seller is required by ASX Listing Rule 11.1 to consult with the Australian Securities Exchange as soon as practicable after the Effective Date because it might be required by ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 to seek and obtain shareholder approval for the sale of Acquired Assets.
 
4.            If required to do so by the ASX in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2, Seller will call an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders and seek shareholder approval for the Agreement, Ancillary Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by those agreements.
 
 
Section 11.3
(Non-Contravention)
Seller has sought and obtained advice from a barrister of the Supreme Court of New South Wales regarding the termination by it of the AMTI Asset Purchase Agreement on 15 June 2010. Seller has been advised that it is likely it properly exercised its common law rights to terminate that agreement and the prospects of AMTI obtaining an injunction to prevent the sale of Myoconda and its associated intellectual property by Seller to Buyer are low. This advice and the disclosure do not derogate from Seller's representations and warranties or from Seller's obligations in connection therewith.


Section 11.4
(Consents and Approvals)
