In consideration of the terms set forth in this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Acquiror and the Seller agree as follows:

1. The Closing occurred on February 19, 2008 and the conditions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2 and ARTICLE IX of the Original Agreement were satisfied in full. The Acquiror has paid in full the Initial Purchase Price Amount and the NDA Milestone Payment.

2. The Seller is aware of recent adverse developments with respect to the Acquiror, including as disclosed in the reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents (including exhibits) filed by the Acquiror with, or furnished by the Acquiror to, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), and publicly available since January 16, 2008. The Seller has also been afforded the opportunity to conduct certain due diligence with respect to the Acquiror’s current and anticipated financial position, and has satisfied itself with such matters.

3. At the Seller’s request, the Acquiror has provided to the Seller certain projections, estimates and draft financial information, including (a) with respect to anticipated tax refunds, (b) statements of cash flows and balance sheets for future periods, (c) estimates of anticipated proceeds from the expected settlement of various matters, (d) valuation information for various of the Acquiror’s assets and liabilities, and (e) various other forward-looking information regarding the Acquiror and its assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition and prospects (collectively, the “Financial Information”). The Financial Information has been prepared in good faith by the Acquiror’s senior management, and to the knowledge of Acquiror’s senior management does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The Seller agrees and acknowledges that:

(i) the Financial Information may be deemed to be material, non-public information, and as such, it is not to be used for any purpose other than for the limited purposes of providing the Seller with context for the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, and under no circumstances will the Seller use such information for any other purpose;


(ii) the Financial Information will be kept confidential and handled by the Seller and its representatives in a manner commensurate with how the Seller treats its most confidential and sensitive information;

(iii) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make any such projections, budgets, forecasts or other forward-looking financial information, and actual results of operations may differ materially from any such projections, budgets, forecasts or other forward-looking financial information;

(iv) except as expressly set forth in the second sentence of Paragraph 3 hereof, the Acquiror is not making, and shall not be deemed to have made any representations or warranties, express or implied, at law or in equity, of any kind or nature whatsoever concerning or as to the accuracy or completeness of any projections, budgets, forecasts or other forward-looking financial information concerning the future revenue, income, profit, cash flow, liabilities or other financial results of the Acquiror and its Subsidiaries;

(v) much of the Financial Information has not yet been reviewed by the Acquiror’s board of directors and outside advisors, and remains subject to further review and/or revision (any of which may significantly alter the content of such Financial Information);

(vi) the Acquiror is under no obligation to advise the Seller of any change and/or revision to the Financial Information;

(vii) the Financial Information has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, nor have the Acquiror’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, audited, compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the Financial Information, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance or comfort with respect thereto;

(viii) the Financial Information does not purport to be complete nor comprehensive in any manner;

(ix) the Financial Information is subjective in many respects, and is based on a variety of estimates and assumptions regarding the Acquiror’s business, industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Acquiror’s control;

(x) except as expressly set forth in the second sentence of Paragraph 3 hereof, the Acquiror has not made nor shall it be deemed to have made, nor has Seller relied on, any representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given in ARTICLE VII of the Agreement;

(xi) the Seller shall not assert, except to the extent provided in ARTICLE XI of the Agreement, any claim against the Acquiror, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents, stockholders, consultants, investment bankers, brokers, representatives or controlling persons, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, or except to the extent provided in ARTICLE XI hold the Acquiror, its Subsidiaries or any such Persons liable for any inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to the Financial Information; and

(xii) the Seller acknowledges that it is not relying on any implied warranties and except for the representations and warranties expressly contained in the second sentence of Paragraph 3 hereof, it is not relying on any other representation or warranty whatsoever as to the prospects (financial or otherwise) or the viability or likelihood of success of the business, assets or results of operations of the Acquiror and its Subsidiaries as conducted after the Amendment Date.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that any cost estimates, financial or other projections or other predictions that may be contained or referred to in the Financial Information, as well as any information, documents or other materials (including any such materials contained in any diligence request or reviewed by the Seller in connection herewith) or management presentations that have been or shall hereafter be provided to the Seller or any of its Affiliates, agents or representatives are not and will not be deemed to be representations or warranties of the Acquiror, and no representation or warranty is made by the Acquiror (whether with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any of the foregoing or otherwise), except as expressly set forth herein or in ARTICLE VII of the Agreement.

“(b)(A) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement:

(i) Concurrent with the execution of the Amendment, the Acquiror has paid to the Seller $70,000,000 (the “Amendment Payment”).

(ii) On the Transfer Date, the Acquiror shall pay to the Seller $25,000,000 (the “First Additional Purchase Price Payment”).

(B) If, prior to the time any payment that is otherwise due pursuant to (iii) through (vi) above, there exists a “Supply Disruption”, then the due date for any subsequent payments will be extended for a period of time equal to the duration of the Supply Disruption provided that such period shall in no event extend for a period longer than twelve months with respect to any one Supply Disruption and provided further however, in no event will a Supply Disruption occur after the Inventory Delivery Milestone has occurred.

Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b), as applicable, in the aggregate; provided, however, that for purposes of claims made by the Acquiror under Section 11.2(a)(iii), Section 11.2(a)(iv), Section 11.2(a)(v) or Section 11.2(a)(vi), the Seller shall be liable for all Damages suffered by the Acquiror without regard to the Liability Threshold or Liability Cap; provided, further, that for purposes of claims made by the Seller under Section 11.2(b)(iii) or Section 11.2(b)(iv) or for claims made by the Seller relating to the Acquiror’s breach of its payment obligations in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, the Acquiror shall be liable for all Damages suffered by the Seller without regard to the Liability Threshold or Liability Cap.”

28. Section 12.1 of the Original Agreement is amended to include the following new subsection (l):

16


30. ARTICLE XII of the Original Agreement is amended to include the following new Section 12.4:

“Section 12.4 Retransfer of Assets from the Acquiror to the Seller.

(a) If, prior to the Final Payment Date, the Acquiror breaches its obligation to pay (i) any portion of the Additional Purchase Price Amount (other than the First Additional Purchase Price Payment) then due, and such breach has not been cured within a period of ten (10) days following the Seller’s written notice of such breach to the Acquiror, or (ii) any undisputed Reimbursable Expenses, and such breach has not been cured within a period of thirty (30) days following the Seller’s written notice of such breach to the Acquiror (a “Payment Default”), then for a period of sixty (60) days the Seller may notify the Acquiror in writing that Seller is electing to exercise its remedies pursuant to this Section 12.4.

(b) If Seller provides the notice contemplated by Section 12.4(a) to Acquiror, then in such notice Seller shall specify a date occurring within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the sixty (60) day notice period provided for in Section 12.4(a) (the “Retransfer Date”) on which the Acquiror shall, or cause its Affiliates to convey and assign to the Seller and the Seller shall acquire from the Acquiror and its Affiliates, subject to the provisions of Sections 12.4(c), (f) and (h) below, in consideration of Seller’s agreement to amend this Agreement on January 8, 2010 and as liquidated damages for Acquiror’s breach which gave rise to Seller’s ability to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 12.4, all of the Acquiror’s and its Affiliates’ right, title and interest in and to the following assets (collectively, the “Retransferred Assets”), free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than such Encumbrances that existed on any Retransferred Assets immediately prior to the transfer of such assets by the Seller to the Acquiror on the Transfer Date):

(i) any Retransferred Contracts;

(ii) all Retransfer Date Gestiva Books and Records;

(iii) all Retransfer Date Gestiva Intellectual Property;

(iv) all Retransfer Date Gestiva Product Registrations;

(v) all Retransfer Date Gestiva Product Improvements;

(vi) all Retransfer Date Gestiva Governmental Permits;

(vii) the Retransfer Date Gestiva FDA Submissions;

(viii) any other assets previously owned by Seller or its Affiliates related to the research (including all pre-clinical and clinical studies), development, manufacture, formulation, use, distribution, marketing, sale and promotion of Gestiva and/or Gestiva Product Improvements, including any equipment and tangible property related thereto and in each case transferred to Acquiror by Seller on the Transfer Date;

(ix) all customer and supplier relationships, goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business;

 

17


(x) all claims, causes of action or rights to collect, including for past, present or future infringement, misappropriation or violation of Retransfer Date Gestiva Intellectual Property rights;

(xi) all rights related to or arising out of or under any express or implied warranties from suppliers under any Retransferred Contracts actually assigned by Acquiror to Seller; and

(xii) all rights, claims and credits (including all guarantees, warranties, indemnities and similar rights and all refunds, credits and claims for refunds or credits relating to Taxes incurred during the Post-Transfer Tax Period), in favor of Acquiror or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective employees to the extent such rights, claims and credits were transferred to Acquiror by Seller on the Transfer Date.

(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that as of the Retransfer Date, there may be certain assets used in the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business (other than any assets transferred to the Acquiror by the Seller on the Transfer Date) which are not exclusively used by the Acquiror in the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business (e.g., assets, rights, etc. that are used in both the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business and other businesses of Acquiror and/or its Affiliates (referred to herein as the “Shared Assets”)). For the avoidance of doubt, such Shared Assets are not within the scope of the “Retransferred Assets” transferred pursuant to Section 12.4(b) above and it is impossible to identify at this time all of the various complications that may arise in connection with the transfer by the Acquiror to the Seller of certain rights with respect to such Shared Assets. For any of such Shared Assets, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to reach a mutually agreeable accommodation in order to provide the Seller with the ability to use and/or obtain ownership of such Shared Assets without payment by the Seller of any additional consideration to the Acquiror and in a manner which does not materially adversely affect Acquiror and/or such Affiliates and their respective ability to use such Shared Assets for the non-Gestiva purposes for which such Shared Assets were used as of the Retransfer Date. By way of a non-exclusive example, it may be necessary to negotiate with third parties to separate contracts that apply to both the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business and other businesses of Acquiror and/or its Affiliates; consider subcontracting arrangements; explore possible licenses and/or joint ownership of certain intellectual property, etc., for assets similarly shared among those businesses. Each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the foregoing in a manner consistent with the spirit and intent of this Section 12.4.

(d) On the Retransfer Date, the Acquiror will offer the Seller the opportunity to purchase any Gestiva Inventory then owned by the Acquiror or its Affiliates at a price equal to the reasonably documented cost of such inventories to the Acquiror or its Affiliates. Upon receipt of payment for such inventory in immediately available funds, Seller will be entitled to take possession and ownership of such inventory. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Seller will take all actions necessary to assure that any Lien on the Gestiva Inventory arising on or after the Transfer Date will not prohibit the Acquiror’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 12.4(d).

 

18


(e) As a condition to the re-transfer of assets contemplated by this Section 12.4, Seller agrees to assume, satisfy, perform, pay and discharge each of the Reassumed Liabilities.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree and acknowledge that the Acquiror will be operating its business (including the Retransferred Assets and Shared Assets) after the Transfer Date, and that the condition and/or existence of various of the Retransferred Assets may change after the Transfer Date and prior to the Retransfer Date. By way of a nonexclusive example, it is possible that various contracts will expire or be terminated, certain assets may be used up and/or sold, and other assets may have changed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Acquiror makes no representations, warranties or covenants of any kind with respect to any Retransferred Assets or Shared Assets transferred to the Seller on the Retransfer Date, such assets being transferred in an “as is/where is” condition as of Retransfer Date, and (ii) except as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.15 and the last sentence of Section 12.4(d), after the Transfer Date the Acquiror is not required to take any steps to preserve and/or maintain the Retransferred Assets, the Shared Assets or the Gestiva Inventory in any shape or form other than what the Acquiror determines in its sole and absolute discretion in the operation of its business.

(g) Acquiror shall have no obligation to transfer or provide access to any of its employees in connection with the retransfer.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Seller exercises its rights pursuant to Section 12.4(a) above, then effective as of the Retransfer Date:

(i) the Acquiror shall have the right to retain copies of, shall have access to and the right to duplicate any books or records related to the Retransferred Assets and Reassumed Liabilities to the same extent that the Seller would have otherwise had such or similar rights pursuant to Sections 2.4, 8.3(d) or 8.10(a) and such sections will be deemed to apply to the Retransferred Assets and Reassumed Liabilities;

(ii) Sections 2.5, 4.4, and 8.7 of the Agreement will also apply to any Retransferred Assets, with the intent that such provisions be applied to effectuate the provisions of this Section 12.4 with respect to the retransfer of the Retransferred Assets to Seller and the assumption of the Reassumed Liabilities by Seller, such that references in those sections to (w) “Seller” or “Parent” shall be deemed to be references to “Acquiror”, (x) “Acquiror” shall be deemed to be references to “Seller”, (y) “Purchased Assets” shall be deemed to be references to “Retransferred Assets” and “Assumed Liabilities” shall be deemed to be references to “Reassumed Liabilities”, and (z) “Transfer Date” shall be deemed to be references to “Retransfer Date”;

(iii) Sections 8.10(a), (c), (g) and (h) will remain in effect.

 

19


(iv) Section 11.2(a) is automatically amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(a) By the Seller. Subject to Section 11.1 and Section 11.3, from and after the Retransfer Date, the Seller shall indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless the Acquiror, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all costs, losses, Liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, interest, judgments, lawsuits, deficiencies, claims, expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals, including third party consultants) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of the Seller set forth in Section 6.2, Section 6.12 and Section 6.14 of this Agreement prior to the date that is sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (with extensions) with respect to the matters addressed in such sections (with the running of such statute of limitations deemed to have begun on January 16, 2008, the date of the Original Agreement), (ii) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED], (iii) the breach of, or failure to perform any, covenant or agreement of the Seller set forth in Section 12.4 of the Agreement, (iv) any Excluded Asset, (v) any Retransferred Asset (other than with respect to any Liabilities relating to such Retransferred Assets that are not within the definition of Reassumed Liabilities), (vi) any Excluded Liability (including, but not limited to, any Excluded Tax Liability) or any Reassumed Liability; and (vii) the fraud or willful misconduct of the Seller.”

(v) Section 11.2(b) is automatically amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(b) By the Acquiror. Subject to Section 11.1 and Section 11.3, from and after the Retransfer Date, the Acquiror shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all Damages incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (i) the breach of, or failure to perform any, covenant or agreement of the Acquiror set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.15 or in Section 12.4 of this Agreement, (ii) any Assumed Liabilities and any other Liabilities of the Retransfer Date Gestiva Business that are not Reassumed Liabilities; (iii) any interest in any Shared Assets retained by Acquiror, and any other assets of the Acquiror not transferred to the Seller on the Retransfer Date, and (iv) the fraud or willful misconduct of the Acquiror.”

 

20


(vi) Section 11.3 is automatically amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Except for representations, warranties and covenants relating to Taxes or any Damages arising from or related to the Excluded Tax Liabilities or fraud, in no event shall the Seller or the Acquiror be liable for any Damages pursuant to Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b), as applicable, unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Damages exceeds $150,000 (the “Liability Threshold”), in which case the Seller or the Acquiror, as applicable, shall be liable for all such Damages in excess of the Liability Threshold, and then not for any Damages in excess of the Liability Cap for all claims made under such Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b), as applicable, in the aggregate; provided, however, that for purposes of claims made by the Acquiror under Section 11.2(a)(iii), Section 11.2(a)(iv), Section 11.2(a)(v), Section 11.2(a)(vi) or Section 11.2(a)(vii), the Seller shall be liable for all Damages suffered by the Acquiror without regard to the Liability Threshold or Liability Cap; provided, further, that for purposes of claims made by the Seller under Section 11.2(b)(i), Section 11.2(b)(ii), Section 11.2(b)(iii) or Section 11.2(b)(iv), the Acquiror shall be liable for all Damages suffered by the Seller without regard to the Liability Threshold or Liability Cap.”

(vii) The remainder of ARTICLE XI will remain in full force and effect.

(viii) The parties agree and acknowledge that the re-transfers contemplated by this Section 12.4 and the right to bring a claim for indemnification pursuant to the amended and restated version of ARTICLE XI that goes into effect on the Retransfer Date will be the exclusive remedies for any Payment Default, and no party nor any of its respective directors, officers, stockholders or Affiliates shall have any other remedy or right to recover for any losses or damages resulting from any breach by the Acquiror of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein.

(ix) ARTICLE II (other than Sections 2.4 and 2.5 thereof as modified by this Section 12.4), ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV (other than Section 4.4 thereof as modified by this Section 12.4), ARTICLE V, ARTICLE VI (other than Sections 6.2, 6.12, and 6.14 which shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations), ARTICLE VIII (other than Sections 8.3(d), 8.7 and 8.10(a), (c), (g) and (h), as modified by this Section 12.4 and Sections 8.12, 8.14 and 8.15), ARTICLE IX, ARTICLE X and Sections 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 shall be of no further force and effect. Any remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect but only to the extent necessary to effectuate, and not inconsistent with, the terms of this Section 12.4.

 

21


31. ARTICLE XII of the Original Agreement is amended to include the following new Section 12.5:

“Section 12.5 Power of Attorney. Subject to the remaining terms hereof, by execution of this Agreement, from and after the occurrence of any Payment Default, Acquiror hereby constitutes and appoints Seller as its true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, in its name, place and stead, to make, execute, sign, acknowledge and deliver or file all instruments, documents and certificates that may be required to effectuate the transfer of the Retransferred Assets as contemplated by Section 12.4 and the transactions contemplated thereby. The foregoing grant of authority, which may only be exercised by the Seller after the occurrence of any Payment Default, is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest in favor of Seller and as such shall be irrevocable prior to the Final Payment Date and shall survive the merger, dissolution or other termination of the existence of Acquiror. The foregoing grant of authority shall automatically expire and be of no further force and effect on the date that is 120 days following the Final Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may not, and shall not exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 12.5 if at any time prior to a Payment Default, the Acquiror has notified the Seller in writing of the existence of a bona fide dispute between the Acquiror and the Seller as to whether or not a Supply Disruption had occurred such that a Payment Default had not occurred and such notice sets forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such Supply Disruption, it being acknowledged that no Supply Disruption will be in effect or continuing from and after the occurrence of the Inventory Delivery Milestones and that thereafter the provisions of Section 4.2(b)(B) will be of no further force and effect, provided that nothing herein will obviate any extensions of the due dates of payments pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(A) due to any Supply Disruption occurring prior to the Inventory Delivery Milestones being satisfied.

32. Section 13.1 of the Original Agreement is amended so that copies of all notices to be sent to the Acquiror thereunder shall no longer be directed to Latham & Watkins LLP as provided in the Original Agreement but instead shall be directed to:

 

  Jenner & Block LLP  
  353 N. Clark Street  
  Chicago, Illinois, 60654  
  Facsimile: (312) 840-7313  
  Attn: Thaddeus J. Malik, Esq.  

33. The Original Agreement as amended by this Amendment is hereby ratified and confirmed. The terms of this Amendment shall govern and control in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of (a) any correspondence, discussions or other oral arrangements, agreements or understandings between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein, and/or (b) the Original Agreement. On a go-forward basis, references to the “Agreement” shall mean references to the Original Agreement, as modified by this Amendment.

34. The provisions of ARTICLE XIII of the Original Agreement shall apply to this Amendment, mutatis mutandis, as if such provisions were set forth herein (with such non-substantive modifications to such provisions as are necessary to effectuate the terms of this Amendment, without varying the substantive terms hereof).

The “Retransfer Date Gestiva Patent Rights” and the “Retransfer Date Gestiva Trademarks” shall include, but are not limited to, those set forth on Exhibits A and B, respectively.

2.2 Exercise of Rights. Licensee agrees not to exercise the Retained License Rights unless and until the Licensor breaches its obligation to pay any portion of the Additional Purchase Price Amount (other than the First Additional Purchase Price Payment) then due or any undisputed Reimbursable Expenses and such payment failure continues beyond the applicable cure period provided for in the Purchase Agreement (a “Payment Default”). Pursuant to Section 8.14 of the Purchase Agreement, Licensor has granted to Licensee a right of reference to each of the Gestiva IND, Gestiva NDA and the Gestiva Orphan Drug Designation (collectively the “Rights of Reference”). Licensor will retain such Rights of Reference for the term of this License Agreement. Licensee will not exercise, license, sublicense or otherwise transfer its Rights of Reference prior to the Retransfer Date, nor subsequent to the expiration of the Term.

2.3 Nature of Exclusivity. In the event that Licensee becomes entitled to exercise the Retained License Rights pursuant to Section 2.2, such rights shall be exclusive, including with respect to Licensor. Prior to a Payment Default, Licensor may continue to exercise such rights as if the license in Section 2.1 had not been granted, provided, however, that Licensor shall not, at any time during the Term (as defined below) of this License Agreement, grant any rights in the Retained License Rights to any third parties that could take priority over Licensee’s exclusive rights to the Retained License Rights hereunder.

SECTION 3.

TERMINATION

3.1 Term. This License Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Retained License Rights until one hundred twenty (120) days after the Final Payment Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, after which time this License Agreement will terminate and be of no further force and effect (the applicable time period during which this License Agreement will be in effect as set forth herein being referred to herein as the “Term”).

SECTION 4.

REPRESENTATIONS; WARRANTIES; COVENANTS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

4.1 Representations and Warranties. Licensor and Licensee each represents and warrants that it has the power to enter into this License Agreement and perform in accordance with the provisions hereof and that the execution and performance of this License Agreement has been duly and validly authorized in accordance with all applicable laws and governing instruments.

4.2 Notification. Licensee and Licensor shall be vigilant in detecting any possible infringements, claims or actions in derogation of the Licensed IP by any third parties (a “Third Party Infringement”) and each shall inform the other party promptly of any such material Third Party Infringement of which it becomes aware.

4.3 Covenant of Licensor. So long as the Rights of Reference are held by Licensee, Licensor shall take all actions and make all payments and submissions necessary to maintain each of the Gestiva IND, Gestiva NDA and Gestiva Orphan Drug Designation in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and then-current guidance of the FDA. Licensor shall provide to Licensee copies of all Gestiva IND submissions and correspondence, all Gestiva NDA submissions and correspondence and all Gestiva Orphan Drug Designation correspondence (collectively, the “Post-Approval Regulatory Documentation”) occurring after the Effective Date and until the termination of the Rights of Reference as provided in Section 4.3. The Post-Approval Regulatory Documentation shall be provided by Licensor to Licensee on a reasonably current basis.

5.4 Entire Agreement, Amendment and Modification. This License Agreement (and all Exhibits attached hereto) and the Purchase Agreement supersede all prior discussions and agreements, both oral and written, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and contain the sole and entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

5.6 Counterparts. This License Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile copy shall be a sufficient proof of signature, without it being necessary to produce the original copy.

5.7 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

5.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any current or future law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar to the terms of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the parties herein.

5.9 Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any Exhibit thereto, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

5.10 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party hereto of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not in the alternative.

5.11 Survival. This Section 5 shall survive the termination or expiration of this License Agreement.

5.12 Acknowledgment. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchase Agreement provides that Licensor is obligated to return to the Licensee all of Licensor’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, the Retained License Rights) in the event that Licensor breaches its obligation to pay any portion of the Additional Purchase Price Amount (other than the First Additional Purchase Price Payment) then due or any undisputed Reimbursable Expenses and fails to cure such breach within the applicable cure period. The parties hereto further acknowledge that this License Agreement is being entered into to provide additional protection to Licensee by insuring that Licensee has exclusive rights in the Licensed IP in the event of Licensor’s breach of the aforesaid obligation and subsequent failure or inability to transfer all of Licensor’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets back to Licensee as required by the Purchase Agreement.
