Section 2.1  Purchase, Sale and Assignment.

 

(a)  At the Closing and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Seller shall sell, transfer, assign and convey to each Buyer, without recourse (except as expressly provided herein), and each Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Seller, such Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right, free and clear of all Liens. Immediately upon the sale to each Buyer by the Seller of such Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right pursuant to this ‎Section 2.1 all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right shall terminate, and all such right, title and interest shall vest in such Buyer.

 

(b)  It is the intention of the parties hereto that the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance contemplated by this Agreement be, and is, a true, complete, absolute and irrevocable sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance by the Seller to each Buyer of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right. Neither the Seller nor the Buyers intend the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be, or for any purpose characterized as, a loan from any Buyer to the Seller or a pledge, a security interest, a financing transaction or a borrowing. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the beneficial interest in and title to each Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right and any “proceeds” (as such term is defined in the UCC) thereof shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a petition by or against the Seller under any Bankruptcy Laws. The Seller and each Buyer hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any right to contest or otherwise assert that this Agreement does not constitute a true, complete, absolute and irrevocable sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance by the Seller to each Buyer of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right under applicable law, which waiver shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be enforceable against the Seller in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding relating to the Seller. Accordingly, the Seller shall treat the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of each Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right as a sale of an “account” or a “payment intangible” (as appropriate) in accordance with the UCC, and the Seller hereby authorizes each Buyer to file financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) naming the Seller as the debtor and the Buyer as the secured party in respect to such Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right. Not in derogation of the foregoing statement of the intent of the parties hereto in this regard, and for the purposes of providing additional assurance to each Buyer in the event that, despite the intent of the parties hereto, the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance contemplated hereby is hereafter held not to be a sale, the Seller does hereby grant to each Buyer, as security for the payment of amounts to each Buyer due hereunder, a security interest in and to all right, title and interest in, to and under such Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right, such Buyer’s Royalty Payments (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, accounts and payment intangibles (each as defined in the UCC) of the Seller) and the Product Collateral, and the Seller does hereby authorize each Buyer, from and after the Closing, to file such financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) in such manner and such jurisdictions as are necessary or appropriate to perfect such security interest (the “Back-Up Security Interest”).

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, each Buyer is only agreeing, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to purchase, acquire and accept such Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right and is not assuming any liability or obligation of the Seller of whatever nature, whether presently in existence or arising or asserted hereafter.

Section 3.4  Appointment of the Royalty Interest Agent.

 

(a)  The Seller hereby appoints BVF Partners L.P. as the “Royalty Interest Agent.” The Royalty Interest Agent will not be deemed to be a trustee or other fiduciary on behalf of any Buyer or any other Person, nor will the Royalty Interest Agent have any liability to any Buyer in the nature of a trustee or other fiduciary.

 

(b)  The Royalty Interest Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Buyers, severally based on each Buyer’s Pro Rata Percentage, of all documented reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of its duties hereunder, including, without limitation, those resulting from the employment of financial advisors, attorneys, auditors and other advisors and agents assisting in the assessment of arbitration, litigation and settlement of any disputes arising under this Agreement. Any such expenses may also be reimbursed via offset against future Royalty Payments.

A late fee of 4% over the Prime Rate (calculated on a per annum basis) will accrue on all unpaid amounts with respect to any Royalty Payment from the date such obligation was due.

Section 6.4  Inspections and Audits of the Seller. Following the Closing, upon at least fourteen (14) Business Days written notice and during normal business hours, no more frequently than once per calendar year, the Royalty Interest Agent may cause an inspection and/or audit by an independent public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Seller to be made of the Seller’s books of account for the three (3) calendar years prior to the audit for the purpose of determining the correctness of Royalty Payments made under this Agreement. Upon the Royalty Interest Agent’s reasonable request, no more frequently than once per calendar year while any Out-License remains in effect, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise any rights it may have under any Out-License relating to the Product to cause an inspection and/or audit by an independent public accounting firm to be made of the books of account of any counterparty thereto for the purpose of determining the correctness of Royalty Payments made under this Agreement. All of the out-of-pocket expenses of any inspection or audit requested by the Royalty Interest Agent hereunder (including the fees and expenses of such independent public accounting firm designated for such purpose) shall be borne solely by the Buyers, in proportion to their Pro Rata Percentage, unless the independent public accounting firm determines that aggregate Royalty Payments previously paid during the period of the audit were underpaid by an amount greater than 5% of the aggregate Royalty Payments actually paid during such period, in which case such expenses shall be borne by the Seller. Any such accounting firm shall not disclose the confidential information of the Seller or any such Licensee relating to the Product to the Royalty Interest Agent, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to determine the correctness of Royalty Payments or otherwise would be included in a Report. All information obtained by the Royalty Interest Agent as a result of any such inspection or audit shall be Confidential Information subject to ‎ARTICLE 8. If any audit discloses any underpayments by the Seller to any Buyer, then such underpayment, shall be paid by the Seller to such Buyer within thirty (30) calendar days of it being so disclosed. If any audit discloses any overpayments by the Seller to any Buyer, then the Seller shall have the right to credit the amount of the overpayment against each subsequent quarterly Royalty Payment due to such Buyer until the overpayment has been fully applied. If the overpayment is not fully applied prior to the final quarterly Royalty Payment due hereunder to such Buyer, such Buyer shall promptly refund an amount equal to any such remaining overpayment.

The Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cure any material breaches by it under any In-License and shall give written notice to each Buyer upon curing any such breach. The Seller shall provide each Buyer with written notice following becoming aware of a counterparty’s material breach of its obligations under any In-License. The Seller shall not terminate any In-License without providing each Buyer prior written notice. Promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following the Seller’s notice to a counterparty to any In-License of an alleged breach by such counterparty under any such In-License, the Seller shall provide each Buyer a copy thereof.

(a)  Subject to compliance with this ‎Section 6.7, the Seller may enter into either (i) an Out-License with a Third Party or enter into an agreement to research, develop or manufacture the Product in all or any portion of the world without the Buyer’s prior written consent; provided, that such license shall not assign or otherwise convey title to or impose any Lien, other than the grant of the license or sublicense, in favor of any Third Party (any such license, a “Permitted License,” and the licensee thereof, a “Permitted Licensee”), or (ii) a Permitted Sale.

 

(b)  The Seller shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) provide each Buyer with (i) executed copies of each Out-License and Permitted Sale, and (ii) executed copies of each amendment, supplement, modification or written waiver of any material provision of an Out-License or Permitted Sale.

(d)  The Seller shall provide each Buyer prompt (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) written notice of a Licensee’s material breach of its obligations under any Out-License or a Permitted Purchaser’s material breach of its obligations under any Permitted Sale of which any of the individuals named in the definition of “Knowledge of the Seller” (or the successors of such Person at the Seller) becomes aware.

 

(e)  The Seller shall provide each Buyer with written notice promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the termination of any Out-License or Permitted Sale.

 

Section 6.8  Negative Pledge; Preservation of Assets.

28 

 

 

Section 6.10  Efforts to Consummate Transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller and each Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Closing to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable law to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.13  Certain Tax Matters.

 

(a)  The Seller and each Buyer agree that for Tax purposes, (a) the Seller and each Buyer shall treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale of such Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right and (b) any and all amounts remitted by the Seller to each Buyer after the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as received by the Seller as agent for each Buyer. The parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this ‎Section 6.13(a) on any tax return or in any audit or other tax-related administrative or judicial proceeding unless the other party hereto has consented in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such actions. If there is an inquiry by any Governmental Entity of any Buyer or the Seller related to the treatment described in this ‎Section 6.13(a), the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in responding to such inquiry in a reasonable manner which is consistent with this ‎Section 6.13(a).

The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give or cause to be given to each Buyer, and each Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give or cause to be given to the Seller, such assistance and such information concerning the reasons for withholding or deduction (including, in reasonable detail, the method of calculation for the deduction or withholding thereof) as may be reasonably necessary to enable such Buyer or the Seller, as applicable, to claim exemption therefrom, or credit therefor, or relief (whether at source or by reclaim) therefrom, and, in each case, shall furnish such Buyer or the Seller, as applicable, with proper evidence of the taxes withheld and deducted and remitted to the relevant taxing authority. Each Buyer agrees (i) to notify the Seller in writing if (A) such Buyer becomes ineligible to use or deliver the Form W-9 or W-8BEN-E delivered to the Seller under ‎Section 5.2(e), or (B) the Form W-9 or W-8BEN-E delivered to the Seller under ‎Section 5.2(e) ceases to be accurate or complete, and (ii) to provide (to the extent it is legally eligible to do so) any additional Tax forms that the Seller may reasonably request.

 

29 

 

 

Section 6.14  Repurchase and Cancellation Upon Qualified Change of Control. In the event of a Qualified Change of Control, each Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right shall remain in place and shall survive the Qualified Change of Control; provided, however, that the Seller shall have the right to submit to the Royalty Interest Agent a proposal to repurchase in cash all, and not less than all, of the Buyers’ Revenue Participation Rights. If mutually agreed between the Seller and the Royalty Interest Agent acting in their sole discretion, each Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right shall be repurchased on such terms and conditions as the Royalty Interest Agent and the Seller may negotiate in their discretion (the “Repurchase Terms”); provided, that all Buyers shall receive notice of the Repurchase Terms and have an opportunity to object within 10 days of receiving such notice, or such later date specified in the notice (the “Repurchase Objection Date”). If all Buyers other than the Royalty Interest Agent (and its Affiliates, if any are Buyers) object, then none of the Buyers’ Revenue Participation Rights shall be repurchased by the Seller (other than the Revenue Participation Right of the Royalty Interest Agent and its Affiliates, in their capacity as a Buyer, which may be sold as consenting Buyers). If fewer than all Buyers other than the Royalty Interest Agent (and its Affiliates, if any are Buyers) object to the Repurchase Terms by the Repurchase Objection Date, then each Buyer’s Revenue Participation Right shall be subject to repurchase by the Seller on the Repurchase Terms (the “Repurchase”). The Repurchase must be completed within 90 days from the Repurchase Objection Date, after which time the Buyers shall be entitled to another 10-day notice and objection period with respect to the Repurchase Terms.

A failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice and to tender the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding in a timely manner pursuant to this ‎Section 7.2 shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this ‎ARTICLE 7, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.
