Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 21, 2008, Protein Sciences Corporation (“PSC”) sent a letter to Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (“Emergent”) purporting to terminate that Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated May 26, 2008 among PSC, Emergent and Emergent Manufacturing Operations Meriden LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emergent. Pursuant to the Agreement, Emergent agreed to acquire, and PSC agreed to sell, substantially all of the assets of PSC, including FluBlok®, a Phase III recombinant influenza vaccine candidate, PSC’s interest in a manufacturing facility located in Meriden, Connecticut, PSC’s baculovirus expression vector system (“BEVS”) technology and PSC’s other product candidates based on the BEVS platform. The Agreement is described in more detail in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Emergent with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2008. Additionally, in connection with the entry into the Agreement, we have entered into a loan agreement with PSC pursuant to which we have loaned PSC $10 million.
Emergent believes that the purported termination is invalid and ineffective. Under the terms of the Agreement, PSC is contractually prohibited from terminating the Agreement if representations and warranties made by PSC under the Agreement are not true and correct in all material respects or if PSC is in material breach of covenants required to be performed. It is Emergent’s position, as set forth in detail in the complaint in the action pending in the Supreme Court of New York County captioned Emergent BioSolutions et al. v. Protein Sciences Corporation, et al., Index No. 650221/2008, that PSC has materially breached numerous representations and covenants under the Agreement and therefore has no right to terminate.
As grounds for its purported termination of the Agreement, PSC has alleged that Emergent has breached the Agreement by failing to provide additional funding for PSC’s continued operations in excess of the $10 million already loaned to PSC by Emergent and by disclosing confidential information of PSC in connection with the above-mentioned litigation by Emergent against PSC. It is Emergent’s position that neither the Agreement nor the loan agreement requires further funding and that additional discretionary funding would be inappropriate in light of fraudulent conduct by PSC and disregard by PSC of its contractual obligations to Emergent. It is also Emergent’s position that PSC’s allegation that Emergent has disclosed confidential information in violation of the Agreement is unsupported and inaccurate.
In certain circumstances in connection with a termination of the Agreement, PSC could be entitled to a termination fee of $1.5 million. However, Emergent does not believe that the circumstances presented will give rise to payment of any termination fee.

Payment of the Additional Consideration shall be made no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter and shall be accompanied by the reports required under Section 7.17.
          (ii) If Buyer deems it reasonably necessary that Buyer must obtain one or more licenses from a Third Party to Commercialize Improved FluBlok (a “Third Party License”), then the Additional Consideration Rate with respect to Net Sales of the Improved FluBlok product that required such license shall be reduced by an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of any upfront fees, milestone payments or royalties paid pursuant

5


 

to such Third Party License(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Additional Consideration Rate for such Improved FluBlok product be reduced below three percent (3%) of Net Sales. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Third Party License” does not include the License Agreement.
          (g) Sales or Licenses of FluBlok Products (Generally). In the event of any sale or license of FluBlok Products by Buyer to a Third Party purchaser or licensee, Buyer shall (i) pay to Seller an amount equal to four and one-half percent (4.5%) multiplied by the gross proceeds received by such Third Party purchaser or licensee with respect to the sale by such Third Party of FluBlok Products minus seven percent (7%), and (ii) be required to pay such amount to Seller within ten (10) Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of such corresponding payments from any such Third Party purchaser or licensee. In addition, as a condition precedent to such sale or license, Buyer shall require such Third Party purchaser or licensee use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize FluBlok Products.
          (h) UMN Pharma. If the royalty rate payable by UMN Pharma to Buyer is reduced under Section 8.2 of the License Agreement and such reduction results in the royalty to Buyer falling below nine percent (9%), then the Additional Consideration Rate with respect to Net Sales shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the reduced royalty rate paid by UMN Pharma, provided, however, in no event shall the Additional Consideration Rate be less than three percent (3%) of Net Sales of UMN Pharma.
          (i) Flip Transaction.
          (i) Upon the occurrence of a Flip Transaction within eighteen (18) months of the Closing Date:
  (1)   Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller an amount (the “Additional Flip Payment”) equal to thirty percent (30%) of any and all non-royalty cash consideration and other consideration the value of which is reasonably ascertainable by Buyer in the Ordinary Course of Business for Tax and financial reporting purposes (including consideration in the form of capital stock, notes, direct or indirect cancellation or repayment of indebtedness to, or guaranteed by, EBS or any of its Affiliates) (net of out-of-pocket transaction expenses) received in connection with the Flip Transaction, when and as received (the “Non-Royalty Consideration”), and
 
  (2)   the Additional Consideration shall be adjusted to an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of any royalties received by Buyer in connection with the Flip Transaction, when and as received;
provided, that in no event shall the payment under Section 2.3(i)(i)(2) be less than the amount Seller would have received on account of Net Sales at the Additional Consideration Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional Flip Payment is in

6


 

addition to, and is not in lieu of the payments that otherwise would have been due to Seller under Section 2.3(d) or (e) and the amounts payable under Section 2.3(i)(i)(2) above shall be in lieu of the payments required under Section 2(f). In the event Buyer pays to Seller, in accordance with Section 2.3(i)(i)(1), any Additional Flip Payments, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of any such Additional Flip Payment shall be credited against the amount of any Net Sales Payments that would otherwise be due and payable to Seller hereunder in the sequential order of such Nets Sales Payments as set forth in Section 2.3(e).
          (ii) With respect to a Flip Transaction or Partial Flip Transaction occurring at any time from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall require that the Third Party purchaser or licensee use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize FluBlok.
          (iii) For the avoidance of doubt:
  (1)   this Section 2.3(i) shall not apply to any Sale of EBS; and
 
  (2)   if a Partial Flip Transaction occurs within eighteen (18) months of the Closing Date, the Non-Royalty Consideration shall be the aggregate of all Non-Royalty Consideration (without duplication) with respect to each definitive agreement to sell or license that triggers a Flip Transaction or Partial Flip Transaction (as the case may be) as well as any and all other definitive agreements to sell or license that occurred during the eighteen (18) month period after the Closing Date; and
 
  (3)   the Additional Consideration Rate shall be adjusted only for the Net Sales from any territory that was included in such a Flip Transaction or Partial Flip Transaction, as the case may be.
          (j) Cash Consideration. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer, Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) in cash, which such cash payment shall be used by Seller to satisfy expenses incurred by Seller related to the Contemplated Transactions (including Tax Liabilities), for the implementation by Seller of the Plan of Liquidation contemplated by Section 7.14, to pay Retained Liabilities and for working capital purposes.
          (k) Default Interest Rate. Any payment of Consideration that is not made on a timely basis shall thereafter bear interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum.

12


 

purports to own or use, and to perform all its obligations under all of the Seller Contracts. Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Connecticut, which is the only other jurisdiction in which the ownership or use of the properties owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, requires such qualification.

          (b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally. Upon the execution and delivery by Seller of each Transaction Document to be executed or delivered by Seller at the Closing (collectively, the “Seller’s Closing Documents”), each such Seller’s Closing Document will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its respective terms. Seller has the unrestricted right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each Seller’s Closing Document to which it is or will be a party and, subject to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the Contemplated Transactions, and each such action has been duly authorized by all necessary action by Seller’s shareholders and board of directors.
          (c) Subject to the obtaining or making of all Seller Required Consents set forth in Section 3.1(c) of the Disclosure Schedule and, to the extent applicable, the filing of any Notification and Report forms required to be filed under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or of the Seller’s Closing Documents nor the consummation or performance of any of the Contemplated Transactions will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time):
          (i) Breach any provision of any of Seller’s Governing Documents or of any resolution adopted by Seller’s shareholders or board of directors;
          (ii) give any Governmental Body or other Person the right to challenge any of the Contemplated Transactions or to exercise any remedy or obtain any relief under any Legal Requirement to which Seller, its business or any of the Purchased Assets is or may be subject or by which Seller, its business or any of the Purchased Assets is bound;
          (iii) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation or Breach of any of the terms or requirements of, or give any Governmental Body the right to revoke, withdraw, suspend, cancel, terminate or modify, any Governmental Authorization that relates to the Purchased Assets or Seller’s business;
          (iv) Breach any provision of, or give any Person the right to declare a default or exercise any remedy under, to accelerate the maturity or performance of or payment under, or to cancel, terminate or modify, any Seller Contract or Non-Governmental Permit; or

Except as set forth in Section 3.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, the Purchased Assets constitute all of the assets, tangible and intangible, of any nature whatsoever, necessary for Seller to (a) operate the Business in the manner presently operated and as currently contemplated by Seller, and (b) to Exploit the products of Seller, including FluBlok, and the Services, Clinical Data and Technology as currently Exploited and as contemplated to be Exploited by Seller.

There is no dispute or claim concerning any Taxes of Seller either (i) claimed or raised by any Governmental Body in writing or (ii) as to which Seller has Knowledge.
          (c) Section 3.5(c) of the Disclosure Schedule lists all of the states, municipalities and other jurisdictions with which Seller is required to file any corporate, franchise, property or other Tax Returns (other than income Tax Returns).

          (d) such other documents as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of: (i) evidencing the accuracy of any of Buyer’s representations and warranties, (ii) evidencing the performance by Buyer of, or the compliance by Buyer with, any covenant or obligation required to be performed or complied with by Buyer, (iii) evidencing the satisfaction of any condition referred to in this Article 6, or (iv) otherwise facilitating the consummation or performance of any of the Contemplated Transactions.

          (a) Buyer may elect, at its own expense, to order a Phase I environmental site assessment of any parcel of Real Property as Buyer may determine, to be performed by an environmental firm selected by Buyer (the “Environmental Firm") on a date reasonably acceptable to Seller and without unreasonably interfering with the operation of the Business. If the Environmental Firm reasonably determines as a result of any such assessment with respect to a parcel of Real Property that further investigation or testing is necessary, and Buyer desires that such investigation or testing be conducted, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the owner of such Real Property to permit the Environmental Firm to perform a Phase II environmental site assessment (or other applicable investigation or testing, as the case may be). If such approval is obtained from the applicable owner, Buyer may cause such Phase II environmental site assessment or other investigation or testing to be conducted on a date reasonably acceptable to Seller and without unreasonably interfering with the operation of the Business. Following their completion, Buyer will promptly deliver copies of such Phase I and Phase II (and any other) environmental site assessment reports to Seller. Seller shall and shall cause its Representatives to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the owners of the applicable Real Property to, comply with any reasonable request for information made by Buyer or the Environmental Firm in connection with any such investigation, and shall afford Buyer and the Environmental Firm access to all areas of the applicable Real Property, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner in connection with any such investigation. If as a result of a Phase II environmental assessment the Environmental Firm reasonably determines that Remedial Action is required under applicable Environmental Laws, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller thereof, and Seller shall promptly notify the owner of the applicable Real Property thereof. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the owner of such Real Property to perform or cause to be performed such Remedial Action as soon as reasonably practicable and in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, Remediation Standards and any recommendations of the Environmental Firm, but in no event shall Seller be obligated to incur any out-of-pocket expenses for such Remedial Work or be obligated to commence any proceeding against such owner. All information learned or discovered pursuant to its activities under Section 7.4 shall be Confidential Information of Seller as the Disclosing Party and subject to the provisions of Section 10 of this Agreement.

43


 

          (b) Buyer shall be entitled to obtain one or more surveys, title reports and commitments of title insurance with respect to all or any portion of the Real Property from any title insurance company or companies and surveyors as Buyer selects. Seller shall and shall cause its Representatives to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the owners of such Real Property to, cooperate as reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s efforts to obtain such surveys, title reports and/or title commitments, including Seller’s and such property owners’ execution and delivery to any such surveyors or title insurance companies of any such records, data, documents, certificates, agreements, affidavits and other instruments and items in customary form as Buyer or such surveyor or title insurance company may reasonably request. In connection with the foregoing, if, prior to Closing, Buyer obtains and delivers to Seller a copy of a title report with respect to any portion of the Real Property that identifies any Encumbrance other than a Permitted Encumbrance, Seller shall remove or terminate or cause to be removed or terminated such Encumbrance as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event prior to Closing.
     7.5 Employment Matters
          (a) From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall notify Buyer and EBS of any change to any of the information concerning Seller Employees contained in Section 3.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule. Following the date hereof, Seller shall make all Seller Employees available to EBS, at reasonable times and at reasonable or convenient locations to Seller, in order to prepare for the transition of employment of the Transferred Employees from Seller prior to Closing to Buyer from and after Closing (or upon the later date of commencement of active employment with Buyer). No less than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, EBS shall make written offers of employment, effective as of the Closing Date, to the Seller Employees specifying the basic terms of employment, including a salary no less favorable than such Seller Employee’s current salary as set forth on Schedule 7.5(a); provided, however, EBS shall offer to employ Manon Cox pursuant to an offer letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G; provided, further, however, EBS shall offer to engage Daniel D. Adams as a consultant pursuant to a consulting agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. Such offers shall be contingent upon (w) the occurrence of the Closing, (x) any applicable Seller Employee being employed by Seller as of the Closing (other than Manon Cox or Daniel D. Adams), (y) such Seller Employee’s satisfaction of customary employment conditions generally applicable to EBS’s employees (including but not limited to EBS’s standard employment screening, including employment drug screening and background checks) (the "Background Check") and (z) such Seller Employee’s completion and submission of EBS’s standard employment application form and other “new-hire” documents, including form I-9, a Background Check disclosure and consent form, an employee responsibility and conduct acknowledgment and standard confidentiality, invention assignment, non-competition and non-solicitation commitments.
          (b) Effective as of the Closing Date (or upon the later date of commencement of active employment with Buyer), each Transferred Employee shall be given the opportunity to participate in EBS employee benefit plans, agreements, programs, policies and arrangements that EBS provides to its other similarly situated employees as of such time (the "Buyer Plans"); provided, however, that to the extent any Buyer Plan or EBS company policy by its terms prohibits the participation of any such Transferred Employee in a Buyer Plan effective as of the Closing Date (or upon the later date of commencement of active employment with Buyer), then

44


 

such Transferred Employee shall be eligible to participate in such Buyer Plan upon the earliest available participation date thereunder.
          (c) EBS and Seller shall reasonably cooperate from and after the date hereof to communicate with Seller Employees regarding the offers of employment described herein.
          (d) Seller shall terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee effective as of the Closing. EBS agrees to retain each Transferred Employee for a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Closing Date, subject to the termination of such Transferred Employee’s employment “for cause” or as the result of the resignation of any such Transferred Employee prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to give effect to this Section 7.5, and Seller shall not take any actions that would interfere with the Seller Employees so offered employment from becoming employed by EBS. If any Employee becomes entitled to any payments or benefits under any employment agreement, retention, severance or change of control policy, plan, agreement, arrangement or program that exists or arises under any applicable Legal Requirement or otherwise as a result of the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, including under the WARN Act, the federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) or any other similar Legal Requirement, Seller shall be liable for such amounts, which Liability shall constitute a Retained Liability, provided, however, that if required by any applicable Legal Requirement, Buyer shall offer any terminated Seller’s employees any applicable COBRA rights.
          (e) With respect to any Buyer Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, or any plan that would be a welfare benefit plan if it were subject to ERISA, maintained by EBS, EBS shall, to the extent permitted by such plan (i) provide coverage for Transferred Employees under its medical, dental and health plans as of the first day of the month following Closing in accordance with the terms of such plans, and Seller shall provide coverage for the balance of the month in which the Closing occurs, (ii) cause the waiver of any pre-existing conditions, actively at work requirements and waiting periods or other eligibility requirements to the extent such conditions, requirements or waiting periods were satisfied by a Transferred Employee under a corresponding Seller Employee Plan, and (iii) cause such Buyer Plans to honor any expenses incurred by the Transferred Employees and their dependents or beneficiaries under similar plans of Seller during the portion of the calendar year ending with the end of the month in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying applicable deductibles.
          (f) Seller shall retain responsibility for and continue to pay all medical, life insurance, disability and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Transferred Employee with respect to claims incurred by such Transferred Employee or his or her covered dependents on or prior to the last day of the month during which the Closing occurs. EBS shall provide and be responsible for all expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by Transferred Employees or their covered dependents as of the first day of the month following the Closing. For purposes of this Section 7.5(f), a claim is deemed incurred: (i) in the case of hospital, medical or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed, (ii) in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs, (iii) in the case of long-term disability benefits, when the employee becomes disabled, and (iv) in the case of workers compensation benefits, when the event giving rise to the benefits occurs.

45


 

          (g) For purposes of eligibility and vesting only under each Buyer Plan in which Transferred Employees are or become eligible to participate, such Transferred Employees shall, to the extent permitted by any such Buyer Plan, be given credit for all service (including service with Seller or any of its Affiliates and predecessors) for which such Transferred Employees were credited for such purposes under a corresponding Seller Employee Plan prior to the Closing Date; provided, that nothing in this Section 7.5(g) shall result in any duplication of benefits or result in Transferred Employees receiving credit in a Buyer Plan for benefit accrual purposes. Such past service credit will be established entirely on the information as recorded by Seller and communicated to EBS, and EBS will not be responsible to audit, validate or confirm the accuracy of any such information.
          (h) From and after the Closing, Seller shall remain solely responsible for any and all Liabilities in respect of the Seller Employees, including the Transferred Employees, related to accruals through the Closing Date under the Seller Employee Plans except to the extent reflected on the Trade Payables. Further, Seller shall retain all obligations with respect to continued coverage under COBRA (and any similar state Legal Requirement), if and so long as Seller maintains a health insurance plan following the Closing, Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and the regulations thereunder for all Seller Employees who do not become Transferred Employees. EBS shall not assume nor have transferred to it the sponsorship of, or any Liability in connection with, any of the Seller Employee Plans or any other benefit plans or arrangements maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates or predecessors.
          (i) Seller shall and shall cause its Affiliates to make all commercially reasonable efforts necessary to fully vest the Transferred Employees in their account balances under all of the Seller Employee Plans that utilize vesting requirements, including but not limited to their tax-qualified 401(k) plans, effective no later than the Closing Date. EBS shall accept rollover contributions from the Transferred Employees’ accounts with Seller’s 401(k) plans following the Closing and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable Buyer Plan(s).
          (j) With respect to any accrued but unused vacation time and paid time off to which any Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation and paid time off policy applicable to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, EBS shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, but only to the extent as set forth in Section 2.4(a)(v), assume the Liability for such accrued vacation and allow such Transferred Employee to use such accrued vacation to the extent such Transferred Employee would have been entitled to such accrued vacation based on his level and years of service under the vacation policy of Buyer in effect as of the Closing Date as if such Transferred Employee had been employed by EBS during such Transferred Employee’s employment with Seller. Except as expressly set forth herein, upon commencement of employment with EBS, Transferred Employees shall be subject to EBS’s vacation accrual and use policies.
          (k) Seller shall be responsible for providing or discharging any and all notifications, benefits and Liabilities to Seller Employees and Governmental Bodies required by the WARN Act or by any other Legal Requirement relating to plant closings or employee separations or severance pay that are required to be provided as a result of termination of Seller’s Employees by Seller in connection with consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

46


 

          (l) The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to create any right to any compensation or benefits whatsoever on the part of any Seller Employee or other future, present or former employee of Seller. Nothing in this Section 7.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to make any employee of the Parties or their respective Affiliates a third party beneficiary of this Section 7.5 or any rights relating hereto.
          (m) Nothing in this Section 7.5 is intended to amend in any way any Buyer Plans.
     7.6 Notice of Certain Changes; Supplements to Disclosure Schedule
          (a) Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of any material adverse development relating to the Business or any of the Purchased Assets or of any other fact or circumstance that would cause any of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement or any Schedule hereto, to be untrue or incomplete in any respect, or would cause Seller to be unable to deliver the certificate required under Section 2.9(a)(vi), and Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer an updated version of any applicable Section of the Disclosure Schedule or add a new Schedule to this Agreement to which such fact or circumstance relates (the “Updated Disclosure Schedule”). In the event that Seller delivers an Updated Disclosure Schedule, Buyer shall be entitled to extend, by written notice to Seller, the scheduled Closing Date to the third (3rd) Business Day after Buyer receives the updated Disclosure Schedule and any information regarding the updates reasonably requested by Buyer. The delivery by Seller of an Updated Disclosure Schedule shall not prejudice any rights of Buyer hereunder prior to the Closing, including the right to claim that the representations and warranties of Seller, when made as of the date hereof, were inaccurate or false in any material respect and to exercise any right to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer consummates the Closing, an Updated Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to qualify the representations and warranties made as of the Closing date and replace for such purpose, in whole or in part, as the case may be, the applicable Section(s) of the Disclosure Schedule delivered hereunder for such purpose. If Buyer does not consummate the Closing as a result of information disclosed by Seller to Buyer on an Updated Disclosure Schedule, Buyer shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f) no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after Buyer receives such Updated Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that in the event the failure of Seller to disclose such facts or circumstances relating to such Updated Disclosure Schedule constitutes an Intentional Breach or fraud, Seller shall be required to pay to Buyer a Termination Fee in accordance with Section 9.2(c) as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy.
     7.7 Taxes
          (a) Each stamp, transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, real or personal property transfer and other similar Tax or fee (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions (each, a “Transfer Tax") shall be borne by Buyer, and Seller shall properly file on a timely basis all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect thereto; provided, that if any such return or other documentation is required to be filed jointly, the Parties shall cooperate in the timely preparation and filing thereof.

47


 

          (b) Further, Seller shall pay, or make adequate provision for the payment, as they become due, in full of all of the Retained Liabilities and other Liabilities of Seller under this Agreement.
          (c) Following the Closing, Seller shall prepare its state and federal income Tax Returns with the understanding that Seller may adopt a Plan of Liquidation that will accelerate the gain on the sale of some or all of Seller’s assets based on fair market value of the assets that are distributed. Seller will allow Buyer to review its Tax Returns and any accompanying workpapers in order to verify Seller’s calculation of the projected amount of Seller’s Tax Liability. In accordance with Section 2.4(a)(vi), Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the aggregate Tax Liabilities incurred for 2008 or thereafter that exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) and are related to our arise out of the Consideration received in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, to the extent actually incurred by Seller and verifiable by Buyer, in an amount not to exceed the Tax Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s Tax Liability will include any income attributable to original issue discount of any of the Consideration and the amount of interest paid to the IRS on any Consideration that is subject to “installment sales” treatment.
          (d) To the extent Seller receives, from and after the Closing Date, any refunds of Taxes or charges of any Governmental Body related to any Assumed Taxes, Seller shall immediately reimburse Buyer in the amount of such refund(s) or credit(s), as the case may be, if such refund or credit reduces Seller’s aggregate Tax Liability related to the Contemplated Transactions for all years after the date hereof below Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000).
     7.8 Regulatory Permits
     At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer all original documentation and information related to (a) regulatory filings for all the products, including any master drug files, establishment license applications, investigational new drug applications, new drug applications, and biologic license applications and (b) Facilities related to the manufacture or testing of the products. Seller may retain any copies thereof but shall not disseminate any information therein to any Third Party without Buyer’s prior written Consent of Buyer.
     7.9 Stockholder Meeting; Proxy
          (a) Stockholder Meeting. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with and subject to Delaware Law and Seller’s Governing Documents to (i) cause a meeting of the stockholders of Seller (the “Stockholder Meeting”) to be duly called and held no later than June 23rd, 2008 for the purpose of voting on the approval and the adoption of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Contemplated Transactions (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”), unless Seller adjourns or delays such Stockholder Meeting for good cause; provided, in the event Seller adjourns or delays such Stockholder Meeting for good cause, Seller expressly agrees to reschedule such meeting as soon as practicable thereafter, and (ii) prior to such Stockholder Meeting and no later than June 12, 2008, distribute to its stockholders a proxy statement that shall include, among other things, the recommendation of the board of directors of Seller that the stockholders of Seller approve this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Contemplated Transactions (the “Seller Board Recommendation”), unless such recommendation was withdrawn by Seller’s board of directors pursuant to Section 7.10 with respect to a Superior Proposal. In connection with Seller’s obligation to obtain the

48


 

Requisite Stockholder Approval, Seller expressly agrees to permit Buyer to meet and consult with Seller with regard to the proxy solicitation process contemplated by clause (ii) of this Section 7.9(a). Except in accordance with Section 7.10(a) hereof, neither the board of directors of Seller nor any committee thereof shall withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Buyer, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Buyer, the Seller Board Recommendation or announce that it has resolved to take such action.
          (b) Proxy. Seller shall cause each member of the board of directors of Seller who is also a stockholder of Seller to grant, only in such Person’s capacity as a stockholder, a proxy to Mr. William H. Narwold authorizing Mr. Narwold to vote the shares of capital stock, subject to the proxy, in connection with any proposed resolution of Seller’s Stockholders, to approve this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Contemplated Transaction.
     7.10 Exclusivity
          (a) Competitive Transaction. Until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Seller will not, directly or indirectly, through any Representative or otherwise, solicit or entertain offers from, negotiate with or in any manner encourage, discuss, accept or consider any proposal from any Person (other than Buyer) relating to any Competitive Transaction. Seller shall notify Buyer immediately of any contact between Seller (or any of its Representatives) and any other Person (an “Unsolicited Purchaser”) regarding any offer or proposal or any inquiry relating to any Competitive Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in the event Seller receives an unsolicited bona fide written offer relating to any Competitive Transaction (a “Competitive Transaction Proposal”) from any Unsolicited Purchaser, Seller shall be permitted to engage in good faith discussions with such Unsolicited Purchaser regarding the Competitive Transaction Proposal in order to evaluate whether the Competitive Transaction Proposal is, or, based upon an evaluation of the terms set forth in such bona fide written offer, could reasonably be expected to result in a proposal that is superior to the Contemplated Transactions. In connection with such evaluation of the Competitive Transaction Proposal, Seller may provide Confidential Information to such Unsolicited Purchaser subject to the agreement by such Unsolicited Purchaser to enter into a standard confidentiality agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may recommend, approve or consummate a Competitive Transaction or any Debt or Equity Financing prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval at the Stockholder Meeting if the board of directors of Seller determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that such Competitive Transaction Proposal or any Debt or Equity Financing is superior to the Contemplated Transactions (a “Superior Proposal”) and that the failure to recommend, approve or consummate such Superior Proposal would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the board of directors of Seller to the stockholders of Seller under Delaware Law. Prior to recommending, approving or consummating such Superior Proposal, the board of directors of Seller shall give Buyer at least five (5) Business Days’ advance notice thereof (which notice itself shall not be deemed to be a Competitive Transaction (so long as such Competitive Transaction is not publicly announced or disclosed by Seller or any of its Representatives)) and the opportunity to meet with Seller and its outside legal counsel for the purpose of enabling Seller and Buyer to discuss in good faith any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the Contemplated Transactions.

49


 

          (b) Applicability of Competitive Transaction Restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the restrictions in Section 7.10(a) shall not apply, subject to the payment obligations (if any) imposed by the following sentence, which obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement for the applicable period stated therein. In the event Buyer has not previously terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, and (i) the board of directors of Seller fails to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval at the Stockholder Meeting and Seller enters into legally binding agreements with respect to a transaction that qualifies under any of clauses (i) through (iv) as a Competitive Transaction within One Hundred Thirty-Five (135) days of the Stockholder Termination Date or (ii) prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval at the Stockholder Meeting, recommends, approves or consummates a Competitive Transaction, then, in the case of (i) or (ii), in addition to the principal balance and interest then due under the Promissory Note, Seller will pay to Buyer the Termination Fee on the earlier of (a) the closing of the Competitive Transaction, or (b) ninety (90) days after such failure to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval or such recommendation, approval or consummation of a Competitive Transaction. Prior to the Closing, payment of the Termination Fee shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any and all liability of Seller under this Agreement or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions but only if specific performance is not sought by Buyer in accordance with Section 9.2(b)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, no such payment shall terminate, release or affect Seller’s obligations under the Loan Documents.
          (c) Definition of Competitive Transaction. A “Competitive Transaction” means, with respect to the business, assets, Intellectual Property, Liabilities, operations or properties that are the subject of the Contemplated Transactions, (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction; (ii) the sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly, of any portion of the material assets of Seller in any single transaction or series of related transactions; (iii) any license or other disposition in any manner of Intellectual Property, including any patent, patent application, trademark, license right or other proprietary right, except in the ordinary course of Seller’s GeneXpress® service or research antigen business; (iv) any offer to the shareholders of Seller to acquire more than twenty percent (20%) of the voting securities of Seller; (v) any solicitation of shareholders of Seller in opposition to the approval of this Agreement by one or more Persons; or (vi) any public announcement of a proposal, plan or intention to do any of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, no Debt or Equity Financing agreement between Seller and a Third Party shall be deemed to be a “Competitive Transaction.”
          (d) Exception to Exclusivity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations and obligations of Seller under Section 7.10(a) shall not apply in the event Buyer unjustifiably fails to make any loan disbursements in accordance with the Section 7.2 (b) and (c) and Seller has not otherwise taken any action that would constitute or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect or any material Breach under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.
     7.11 Further Assurances and Cooperation
          (a) Further Assurances. The Parties shall at all times cooperate reasonably with each other and with their respective Affiliates and Representatives in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement and otherwise in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and the Parties agree (i) to furnish

          (b) Litigation Assistance. After the Closing, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof and in the other Transaction Documents, for a period of three (3) years following the Closing, if and for so long as either Party hereto is actively prosecuting, contesting or defending against any Proceeding with a Third Party related to the Purchased Assets, Seller’s operation of the Business prior to the Closing, Seller’s Taxes or Buyer’s operation of the Business following the Closing (in any case that does not involve any claim for indemnification or injunctive relief hereunder, any claim arising from or related to the Transaction Documents or the Contemplated Transactions or any other dispute between Seller or its Related Persons, on one hand, and Buyer or its Related Persons, on the other), Buyer and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to making available their personnel, and providing such testimony and access to their books and records as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or defense, or prosecution, as the case may be, all at the sole cost and expense of the Party requesting such assistance; provided, that neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any obligations pursuant to this Section 7.11(b) if it reasonably determines that performance pursuant to this Section 7.11(b) would require the disclosure of any of its Intellectual Property (or information pertaining to its Intellectual Property) or other confidential or proprietary materials (including, in the case of Buyer, any of the Clinical Data or Technology) or any other disclosure that would be materially detrimental to it.
          (c) Record Retention. After the Closing, Buyer and Seller will each retain for a period consistent with all applicable Legal Requirements, and for a period of no less than six (6) years, Records relating to the Business including, as to Buyer, Records, of any kind or wherever located, included in the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities delivered to Buyer, and, as to Seller, all other Records relating to the Purchased Assets, Excluded Assets, Assumed Liabilities and Retained Liabilities. After the Closing Date, each Party will provide the other Party and its Representatives reasonable access to Records held by such Party and its facilities, during normal business hours and on reasonable prior written notice, to enable each Party to prepare financial statements, Tax filings, other government submissions, or to defend Proceedings by Third Parties relating to the Purchased Asserts, Excluded Assets, Assumed Liabilities or Retained Liabilities.
          (d) Inadvertent Transfer or Retention of Assets.
          (i) If any Excluded Assets are inadvertently transferred to Buyer under the Transaction Documents, the Party discovering the inadvertent transfer shall promptly notify the other Party.

All reasonable expenses incurred by Buyer in respect of such notification, re-conveyance, transfer or assignment to Seller with respect to any of the above shall be borne by Seller.
          (ii) If any Purchased Assets are inadvertently retained by Seller after the Closing Date, then the Party discovering the inadvertent retention shall promptly

51


 

notify the other Party. Seller shall take all actions reasonably requested by Buyer to transfer, assign or convey such assets to Buyer as soon as practicable after discovery of the inadvertent retention. All reasonable expenses incurred by Seller in respect of such notification, conveyance, transfer or assignment to Buyer with respect to any of the above shall be borne by Seller.
     7.12 Non-Solicitation and Non-Disparagement
          (a) Commencing on the date hereof and through and until three (3) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall not directly or indirectly:
          (i) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of Seller or its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date or Buyer or its Affiliates from and after the Closing Date or within the one (1) year preceding the Closing Date to cease doing business with Buyer or such Affiliates, to deal with any competitor of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with its relationship with Buyer or such Affiliates; or
          (ii) hire, retain, or attempt to hire or retain any employee of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of Buyer’s or such Affiliates’ employees, on the other hand; provided, that Seller may hire or retain employees of Buyer or its Affiliates in response to general solicitations for employment that are not targeted to the employees of Buyer and its Affiliates.
          (b) Effective as of the date hereof and continuing hereafter, neither Party shall disparage the other Party or any of the other Party’s Related Parties or Representatives.
          (c) If a final judgment of an arbitrator or court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in Section 7.12(a) through (c) is invalid or unenforceable, then the Parties agree that the arbitrator or court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the applicable term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. This Section 7.12 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the decision or judgment (as applicable) may be appealed. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 7.12 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the Parties’ legitimate business interests and, with respect to Buyer, the value of the Purchased Assets and the Business and to prevent any unfair advantage being conferred on either Party.
     7.13 Maintenance of Insurance

Prior to expiration of Seller’s clinical trial insurance policy, Buyer will obtain tail coverage for the five (5) year period after the expiration of the existing policy period with the type of coverage and in the amounts that are consistent with good industry practice, and such tail policy shall name Seller as an additional

52

At any time following the Closing, any transfer or assignment of any Note shall be done in accordance with the terms of such Note and any transfer or assignment of Seller’s rights hereunder, including the right to receive any Consideration thereafter due to Seller shall be done in accordance with the terms of Section 11.6 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adoption of a plan of complete liquidation (the "Plan of Liquidation”) pursuant to which Seller will assign all of Seller’s assets and properties including the Consideration and its rights under this Agreement to a liquidating trust or other entity and shall not be deemed to violate this Section 7.14; provided, however, that this Agreement will apply to and be binding in all respects upon such liquidating trust or other entity and any such liquidating trust or other entity shall expressly assume Seller’s obligations (including indemnification obligations) under this Agreement.
     7.15 Use of Names

Such examination must be made confidentially and the auditing firm shall be require to enter into reasonable confidentiality agreements. The expense of such examination shall be borne by Seller, except that in the event that the results of the audit reveal a discrepancy in Seller’s favor in excess of ten percent (10%), then the audit fees shall be paid by Buyer. Any discrepancy will be promptly corrected by a payment or refund as appropriate.
     7.18 Galuzzo Property

Adams engaged as a consultant to EBS pursuant to such consulting agreement, and (ii) the numerator shall be the total number of days in a calendar year (which the Parties agree shall equal 365 days).

54

     7.22 Undisclosed Liabilities
          (a) From the date hereof through and until the Closing Date, in the event that Seller incurred or incurs any Liability to a Third Party that arose in the Ordinary Course of Business and directly relates to the Business and (i) that should have been listed but was inadvertently omitted on the Balance Sheet and the Trade Payables identified on Schedule 2.4(a)(iii) or (ii) are subsequently identified on the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Trade Payables (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Omitted Payables”), the Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith which party should be responsible to pay the Omitted Payables consistent with the spirit and intent of Contemplated Transactions and this Agreement.

A Party’s waiver of any condition based upon any inaccurate representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation prior to the Closing, will terminate such Party’s right after the Closing to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based on such inaccurate representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.
     8.2 Indemnification and Reimbursement by Seller

     8.4 Procedure for Indemnification — Third Party Claims
          (a) Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 8.2 or 8.3 (an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the assertion of a Third Party Claim against it, such Indemnified person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of such Third Party Claim; provided, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.
          (b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 8.4(a) of the assertion of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest, or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall make no claim for indemnity for the cost or expenses of any separate legal counsel that the Indemnified Party may want to participate in such defense. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a

57


 

Third Party Claim, (x) such assumption will conclusively establish, for purposes of this Agreement, the claims made in that Third Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; and (y) no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s Consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party, (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person or any other Person other than the Indemnified Party, and (C) the Indemnified Person shall have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claims effected without its Consent. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within twenty (20) Business Days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.
          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may materially adversely affect it or its Related Persons other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Person but no such compromise or settlement shall impose or result in any admission of responsibility or Liability by the Indemnifying Person.
          (d) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 8: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third Party Claims and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the Parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim.
          (e) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 8, the Parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each Party agrees that: (i) it will use its commercially reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable Legal Requirement and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any Party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.
     8.5 Procedure for Indemnification — Other Claims
     A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by prompt written notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought and shall be paid promptly after liability is determined or agreed. The failure to so notify will not relieve the

58


 

Indemnifying Person of any Liability that it may have except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is prejudiced by the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice.
     8.6 Right of Setoff Against Future Consideration
          (a) Setoff Amount. Subject to the obligations and limitations set forth in Sections 8.6, 8.8, 8.9 and 8.10, Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of fulfilling Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Article 8, Buyer shall have the right to setoff against any of the Consideration payable to Seller following the Closing (including cash and non-cash elements of the Consideration) the amount of any indemnification to which Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Person may be entitled under this Article 8 (the “Setoff Amount”) in the following order:
          (i) an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Setoff Amount shall be applied against any unpaid portion of the principal balance of the Setoff Note; and
          (ii) an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Setoff Amount (the “Remaining Setoff Amount”) shall be applied (without duplication):
  (A)   against the HHS Milestone Payment without limitation;
 
  (B)   in the event a portion of the Remaining Setoff Amount remains after the application of such Remaining Setoff Amount against the HHS Milestone Payment, then such remainder shall be applied against the BLA Approval Milestone Payment received by Seller (if any);
 
  (C)   in the event a portion of the Remaining Setoff Amount remains after the application of such Remaining Setoff Amount against such BLA Approval Milestone Payment (if any), then such remainder shall be applied against the Net Sales Payment in accordance with the chronological order of such payments to be made by Buyer to Seller; and
 
  (D)   in the event a portion of the Remaining Setoff Amount remains after the application of such Remaining Setoff Amount against the Net Milestone Payments, then such remainder shall be applied against any Additional Consideration to be paid to Seller in accordance with Section 2.3(f).
          (b) Applicability of Setoff Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be entitled to exercise its right of setoff subject to indemnification under this Article 8 unless and until the Parties mutually reach an agreement, or a court of competent jurisdiction renders an Order, affirming the Buyer’s Indemnified Person’s right to be indemnified by Seller; provided, however, that subject to Section 8.6(c) below, Buyer shall be permitted, after providing reasonable advance written notice to Seller (“Notice of Suspension”), to suspend any payments due to Seller under the Notes (a “Suspended Payment”) until the earlier of the date that the Parties reach an agreement, or a court of competent jurisdiction renders an Order. The Notice of

59


 

Suspension shall include, among other things, a reasonably detailed description of the indemnification claim and a good faith estimate of the Damages suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Person. In the event an Order rejects the Buyer Indemnified Person’s right to be indemnified by Seller, any Suspended Payment shall be retroactively reinstated and, at the option of the Buyer, shall be immediately due and payable by Buyer to Seller.
          (c) Escrow. In the event Buyer delivers a Notice of Suspension to Seller in accordance with Section 8.6(b), Seller may, in lieu of suffering any Suspended Payments, elect, within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such Notice of Suspension, to deposit, at Seller’s option, cash or any capital stock of EBS received by Seller as a result of the exercise of its conversion rights (whether prior to or in connection with the receipt of a Notice of Suspension) under the Setoff Note with an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties and in an amount that shall be sufficient to secure Seller’s indemnification obligations for the claim that is the subject of such Notice of Suspension. The Parties agree that the Escrow Agent shall disburse such deposited cash or capital stock of EBS, as the case may be, in accordance with and pursuant to an escrow agreement in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties hereto.
          (d) Limitations.
          (i) For the avoidance of doubt, no claim of setoff under this Section 8.6 shall be made (1) for a Breach of a representation or warranty other than the Excluded Representations after the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing, or (2) for any indemnification obligation after the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing, and (3) against any Note other than the Setoff Note.
          (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement for purposes of determining the amount of Damages that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder, each representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement shall be read without regard and without giving effect to the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other terms of similar impact or effect contained in such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement; provided, that each such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall give effect to “material”, “Material Adverse Effect” or other terms of similar impact or effect in determining whether there has been a Breach of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
     8.7 Indemnification in Case of Strict Liability
     THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN THIS ARTICLE 8 SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIABILITY IS BASED ON PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE ACTS, CLAIMS OR LEGAL REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING ANY PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE BULK SALES LAW, ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, FRAUDULENT TRANSFER ACT, OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH LAW, OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY, SECURITIES OR OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENT), AND THE CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED ON THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION.

     10.4 Legal Proceedings
     If a Receiving Party becomes compelled in any Proceeding or is requested by a Governmental Body having regulatory jurisdiction over the Contemplated Transactions to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Article 10, that Receiving Party shall give the Disclosing Party prompt notice of such compulsion or request so that it may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Article 10. In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, the Receiving Party may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that, based on advice of the Receiving Party’s counsel, the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose or that has been requested by such Governmental Body; provided, that the Receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded by any Person to whom any Confidential Information is so disclosed.

No Receiving Party shall admit, claim or contend, in Proceedings involving either Party or otherwise, that any Disclosing Party waived any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges with respect to any information, documents or other material not disclosed to a Receiving Party due to the Disclosing Party disclosing its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Receiving Party.

- 2 -


 

financial condition, operations, business or prospects, PSC shall not be deemed to have used their demand registration rights under this Section 2(a).
     3. Further Obligations of the Company.
          (a) Whenever the Company is required hereunder to register any Registrable Securities, it agrees that it shall also do the following:
               (i) Prepare and file, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become and remain effective, with the Commission a registration statement and such amendments and supplements to said registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep said registration statement effective until such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement may be sold by PSC without volume limitations or restrictions pursuant to Rule 144;
               (ii) Furnish to PSC a draft copy of the registration statement and such copies of each preliminary and final prospectus as PSC may reasonably request to facilitate the public offering of its Registrable Securities;
               (iii) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the securities covered by said registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as PSC may reasonably request; provided, the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or file a general consent to service of process in connection therewith, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdictions and except as may be required by the Securities Act;
               (iv) Cause upon, or immediately after the effectiveness of a registration, all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed or quoted;
               (v) Notify PSC of Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (A) the issuance of any stop order by the Commission in respect of such registration statement, or (B) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;
               (vi) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

- 3 -


 

               (ix) After such registration statement becomes effective, notify PSC of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.
          (b) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of PSC, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration statement filed under Section 2 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of PSC that are included.
     4. Payment of Expenses by, Cooperation by, and Obligations of, Prospective Sellers.
          (a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall pay 1of all expenses of any registration effected pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, including, without limitation, all legal and accounting fees, printing costs, listing fees and miscellaneous expenses and including the fees of one (1) legal counsel for PSC.
          (b) PSC shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company may reasonably request from PSC in connection with any registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities.
          (c) Upon receipt of a notice (telephonic or written) from the Company of the occurrence of an event which makes any statement made in a registration statement or related prospectus covering Registrable Securities untrue or which requires the making of any changes in such registration statement or prospectus so that they will not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, PSC shall discontinue any disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement until PSC’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus or until advised by the Company that dispositions may be resumed.
          (d) PSC will effect sales of Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution given to the Company.
          (e) At the end of the period during which the Company is obligated to keep any registration statement current and effective as provided in this Agreement, PSC shall discontinue sales of shares pursuant to such registration statement, unless they receive notice from the Company of its intention to continue effectiveness of such registration statement with respect to such shares which remain unsold and PSC shall notify the Company of the number of shares registered which remain unsold promptly upon expiration of the period during which the Company is obligated to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement.
     5. Indemnification; Contribution.

- 4 -


 

          (a) Incident to any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless PSC from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, reasonable expenses and liabilities (including any reasonable investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, as the same are incurred) to which it may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement (including any related preliminary or definitive prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus) or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state in such document a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to the extent that (1) such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability arises from and is based on an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of PSC in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Agreement for use in such registration statement, or (2) in the case of a sale directly by PSC, such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was contained in a preliminary prospectus and corrected in a final or amended prospectus, and PSC failed to deliver a copy of the final or amended prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability in any case where such delivery is required by the Securities Act or any state securities laws. With respect to such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in the information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of PSC in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Agreement for use in such registration statement, PSC will indemnify and hold harmless the Company (including its directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, reasonable expenses and liabilities (including any reasonable investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, as the same are incurred) to which they, or any of them, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by PSC by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 5(a) and 5(b) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by PSC (net of any selling expenses paid by PSC), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by PSC.
          (b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 5(a) above for any reason is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying Party under this Section 5, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and PSC from the offering of the Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and PSC in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well as any

- 5 -


 

other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and PSC shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions that the net proceeds from the offering received by the Company and PSC, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the applicable prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Registrable Securities. The relative fault of the Company and PSC shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by or on behalf of the Company or PSC and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge and access to information.
          The Company and PSC agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(b) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
          (c) The amount paid by an indemnifying Party or payable to an indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this Section 5 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, payable as the same are incurred. The indemnification and contribution provided for in this Section 5 will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified Party or any officer, director, employee, agent or controlling Person of the indemnified Party. No indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall enter into a consent of entry of any judgment or enter into a settlement without the consent of the indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Any indemnified Party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 5 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement or threat of any claim or action against such Party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying Party under this Section 5 notify the indemnifying Party in writing (such written notice, an “Indemnification Notice”) of the commencement or threat of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served or notices received (if applicable), but the omission to so notify the indemnifying Party will not relieve the indemnifying Party from any liability that the indemnifying Party may have to any indemnified Party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying Party. The indemnified Party will have the right to retain its own counsel in any such action if (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified Party has been authorized by the indemnifying Party, (ii) the indemnified Party’s counsel, with the concurrence of indemnifying Party’s counsel, shall have reasonably concluded that there is a substantial likelihood of a conflict of interest between the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the indemnifying Party shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable period of time following its receipt of the Indemnification Notice, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of the indemnified Party’s separate counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the indemnified Party shall agree to repay any expenses so advanced hereunder if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the indemnified Party to whom such expenses are advanced is not entitled to be indemnified; and provided, further, that so long as the

- 6 -


 

indemnified Party has reasonably concluded that no conflict of interest exists, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any action hereunder with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party.
          (d) The obligation of the Company and PSC under this Section 5 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under Section 2, and otherwise.
     6. Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to PSC the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit PSC to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:
          (a) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times hereafter until all shares of Common Stock held by PSC have been registered with the SEC or sold to the public without registration under Rule 144;
          (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and Exchange Act; and
          (c) furnish to PSC, so long as PSC owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144, the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3; (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company; and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing PSC of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to Form S-3.
     7. Limitations on Piggyback Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of PSC, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would (i) allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration under this Agreement unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of Registrable Securities that are included by PSC.
     6. Transferability of Registration Rights. The registration rights set forth in this Agreement may not be transferred or assigned by PSC, by operation of law or otherwise, to any Person other than in connection with any permitted assignment of the Promissory Notes, and any other purported transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
     7. Miscellaneous.
          (a) Notices. Any notices given by any Party under this Agreement shall be in writing and personally delivered, deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, sent by

               (i) Good Faith Negotiations.

If such Representatives are unable to resolve such disputed matters, they shall be referred to the senior management of the respective Parties for discussion and resolution.
               (ii) Jurisdiction and Venue. If the senior management designated by the respective Parties is unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days (or such longer period of time as the Parties may agree to in writing) of initiating such negotiations, then the Parties agree that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York shall have jurisdiction and exclusive venue for any litigation with respect to any Dispute; except that where no federal jurisdiction exists, the New York State Court of Appeals shall have jurisdiction and exclusive venue for any litigation with respect to any Dispute.

GROUND LESSORS’ ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
     WHEREAS, the Meriden Economic Development Corporation, a Connecticut corporation (“Lessor”), is the “Landlord” under that certain ground lease more particularly described on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Ground Lease”), with respect to certain parcels of land described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Premises”); and

     WHEREAS, 310, LLC, a Delaware limited liablity company, (“Buyer”) desires to purchase certain assets of PSC pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of May ___, 2008 (the “Asset Purchase”) including, without limitation, PSC’s interest as lessee under the Ground Lease; and

Re: Offer of Employment — Chief Operating Officer, Emergent-Meriden Manufacturing Operations Inc.
Dear Dr. Cox:
We are pleased to extend to you a contingent offer of full-time employment as the Chief Operating Officer of Emergent-Meriden Manufacturing Operations Inc. (Emergent-Connecticut), a wholly owned subsidiary of Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (EBSI (collectively, Emergent)). This offer is conditioned on the completion of EBSI’s purchase of substantially all of the assets of Protein Sciences Corporation and of the customary employment verifications. The details of the offer are as follows:
  1.   You initially will be employed in the position of Chief Operating Officer for Emergent-Connecticut in Meriden. As an employee of Emergent Connecticut, you shall perform your duties and responsibilities in an ethical, professional and diligent manner and to the best of your abilities. You shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and Emergent’s internal rules, policies and procedures, as they may be amended from time to time. Emergent reserves the right to modify your job title, duties, and reporting structure at any time consistent with the business needs of Emergent.
 
  2.   Your starting annualized base salary with Emergent will be $250,000, less all applicable taxes and withholdings required by law, with a bonus opportunity that is described further below.
 
  3.   Emergent’s primary business hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Your primary work hours would be Emergent’s primary business hours; of course, operational needs may require modification of those hours.
 
  4.   This offer letter does not create or imply any contract of employment, and your employment with Emergent will at all times be on an “at-will” basis. This means that both you and Emergent will be free to sever the employment relationship at any time, for any reason or for no reason, with no advance notice required. Notwithstanding your status as an “at-will” employee, in the event that Emergent terminates your employment without Cause (as that term is defined herein) prior to the first anniversary of your start date with Emergent, Emergent will continue to pay your base salary from the date of termination through the first anniversary of your start date, pursuant to Emergent’s regular pay cycle. The salary continuation provided for in this paragraph 4 is in lieu of any severance, salary or income continuation or protection under any Emergent plan, program or policy that may now or

 


 

(EMERGENT BIOSOLUTIONS LOGO)
      hereafter exist and shall satisfy and be in full and final settlement of all obligations to you under this offer letter. In order to be eligible to receive the salary continuation provided for in this paragraph, you must (a) execute and deliver a full, general release of any and all claims you may have against Emergent and/or any of its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, with respect to matters covered by this offer letter or otherwise arising out of, related to or concerning your employment with or termination of your employment from Emergent arising through the date the release is executed; and (b) be and remain in full compliance with your post-employment obligations contained in the Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation and Assignment Agreement. For purposes hereof, “Cause” shall mean (i) conviction of a crime involving a sentence of incarceration or of a felony with or without a sentence of incarceration; (ii) the commission of an act constituting fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty against Emergent or with respect to your employment with Emergent, or of any other act or omission which in the good faith judgment of Emergent’s management is likely to cause harm to the business or reputation of Emergent; (iii) refusal or failure to use reasonable and diligent efforts to follow the lawful and reasonable directives of Emergent management; (iv) neglect or failure to satisfactorily perform material duties and responsibilities to Emergent; or (v) violation of Emergent policies or rules.
 
  5.   In addition to your base salary, Emergent offers a wide range of benefit programs. A short summary of some of the programs we presently have are set out below. In all cases, the specific terms of the programs are as detailed in the official plan or program documents and insurance policies. We reserve the right to modify, substitute, or eliminate our benefit program at any time.
    The option to join Emergent’s Health/Prescription, Dental and Vision Insurance Plans, as described in the enclosed enrollment literature. You will be eligible to participate in these plans as early as the first day of the month following your start date with Emergent and no later than (30) days after your effective date of employment with Emergent.
 
    Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available to you and your family members. The EAP provides professional and confidential assistance in identifying problems and concerns, and developing a plan to deal with them. The services provided through this employee benefit are at no cost to you.
 
    Eleven Paid Holidays Annually: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and two floating days if your date of hire is before July 1st (one floating day if date of hire is between July 1st and September 30th).
 
    Paid Time Off (PTO) is to be used for all vacation, sick days, and personal time off in excess of the paid Holidays listed above. Your PTO balance from Protein Sciences Corporation will carry over to Emergent; thereafter, all PTO policies and guidelines (including accruals and carry over rules), will be governed by Emergent’s PTO policy as may be amended from time to time.

(EMERGENT BIOSOLUTIONS LOGO)
    Life Insurance, equal to two times your annual salary, is available as early as the first day of the month following your start date with Emergent and no later than (30) days after your effective date of employment with Emergent. Additional life insurance in increments of $25,000, $50,000, $75,000 and $100,000 up to $500,000 are available at preferred, pre-tax rates, should you wish to participate. Spousal and child coverage is also available at competitive group rates and can be deducted from your bi-weekly paycheck.
 
    Short Term and Long Term Weekly Indemnity (disability), equal to approximately 66.6% of salary is available as early as the first day of the month following your start date and no later than (30) days after your effective date of employment with Emergent.
 
    A 401(k) Plan which allows you to direct up to $15,500 per year (indexed annually) of pre-tax income into an investment vehicle of your choice. Emergent will contribute up to a maximum of 3% of your total compensation when you contribute a minimum of 6% of your annual compensation.
 
    Emergent has a formal performance management assessment and feedback process which includes goal setting during the first quarter, a mid-year assessment, and a full year assessment. Your individual performance and assessment, along with Emergent’s overall performance, will determine your eligibility for additional compensation. This additional compensation may include performance incentives such as an annual merit increase and a bonus opportunity of up to 30% for 2008 performance. Merit increase and bonus opportunity amounts will be prorated based on your start date for your first year of employment with Emergent.
 
    A Tuition Reimbursement program provides financial assistance to full-time employees who are taking college courses in pursuit of a college degree.
 
    You will be eligible to participate in the Emergent BioSolutions 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”). You will be granted an option of purchase 24,000 shares of our Common Stock after the commencement of your employment with Emergent. Our current practice, which may be subject to change, is to grant options on a quarterly basis shortly after the release of earnings for the previous fiscal quarter. An option granted under the Plan: (i) has an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of grant; (ii) typically expires seven years from the date of grant; and (iii) typically vests over a period of three years, with one third of the option vesting on each of the first three anniversary dates from the grant date.  The date of grant is the date on which the grant of an option is approved. The foregoing is for your general information and does not purport to describe the specific terms of any option that you may receive, which could be different and would be governed by the Plan and by the specific terms in any option agreement that may be granted to you.
 
    You will be eligible to participate in the Emergent BioSolutions Severance Plan and Termination Protection Program after the first anniversary of your start date with Emergent. Participation in this program is contingent upon satisfactory performance during your first year of employment and is at the discretion of the Board or the CEO, as applicable. If you were to participate in the plan, the initial severance benefit payment would be 6 months of applicable compensation and benefits continuance. The severance payment and benefits continuation may be increased to 9 months after two years of employment with Emergent, assuming satisfactory performance.
