e.The Purchaser’s right, title and interest to the Purchased Assets shall commence as of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, following the Closing, payments on account of the Purchased Assets shall be owned by and payable to the Purchaser regardless of whether such payments are made by the Counterparty during the same calendar year in which the Net Sales related to such payments are generated or in any other calendar year.
f.Notwithstanding that the Seller and the Purchaser expressly intend for the sale, contribution, assignment, transfer, conveyance and granting of the Purchased Assets to be a true, complete, absolute and irrevocable sale and assignment, and, conditioned only upon the occurrence of the Closing, the Seller hereby assigns, conveys, grants and pledges to the Purchaser, as security for its obligations created hereunder in the event that the transfer contemplated by this Purchase and Sale Agreement is held not to be a sale, a first priority security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets, and, in such event, this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall constitute a security agreement.

All such liabilities and obligations shall be retained by and remain liabilities and obligations of the Seller or the Seller’s Affiliates, as the case may be (the “Excluded Liabilities and Obligations”).
Section 2.4 Excluded Assets. The Purchaser does not, by purchase, acquisition or acceptance of the rights, title or interest granted hereunder or otherwise pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents, purchase, acquire or accept any assets or contract rights of the Seller under the Counterparty Agreement, other than the Purchased Assets, or any other assets of the Seller, including, for the avoidance of doubt, (a) the assets sold pursuant to the Sagard Agreement, (b) payments under Section 2.13(b) of the Counterparty Agreement, and (c) the Retained Receivables.

13

c.Without limiting any other obligation of the Seller under this Purchase and Sale Agreement, from and after the Effective Date, the Seller shall comply with all Applicable Laws with respect to the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the Counterparty Agreement, the violation of which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
d.From and after the Effective Date, the Seller shall not enter into any contract, agreement or other legally binding arrangement (whether written or oral), or grant any right to any other Person, in any case that would (i) reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change or (ii) reasonably be expected to conflict with the Transaction Documents or serve or operate to limit, circumscribe or alter the Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents (or the Purchaser’s ability to exercise any such rights) or result in a default of Seller’s obligations under the Transaction Documents or the Counterparty Agreement; provided, that the Seller’s relationship with Counterparty in respect of the subject matter of this Section 5.3(d) shall be governed by Section 5.5.
Section 5.4 Payments on Account of the Purchased Assets and Payments Generally.
a.Notwithstanding the terms of the Counterparty Instruction, if Counterparty, any Sublicensee or any other Person makes any future payment in respect of the Purchased Assets to the Seller (or any of its Affiliates), then (i) the portion of such payment that represents Vorasidenib Receivables shall be held by the Seller (or such Affiliate) in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser in a segregated account, (ii) the Seller (or such Affiliate) shall have no right, title or interest whatsoever in such portion of such payment and shall not create or suffer to exist any Lien thereon (other than Liens granted in favor of the Purchaser by Section 2.1(f)), and (iii) the Seller (or such Affiliate) promptly, and in any event no later than [**] following the receipt by the Seller (or such Affiliate) of such portion of such payment, shall remit such portion of such payment to the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 5.4(b) in the exact form received with all necessary endorsements. Notwithstanding the terms of the Counterparty Instruction, if Counterparty, any Sublicensee or any other Person makes any future payment in respect of the Retained Receivables to the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates), including in the event that the Applicable Percentage is reduced to 80.0% for the balance of Net Sales occurring during a particular calendar year because the Purchaser has actually received $150 million in Vorasidenib
26




Receivables in respect of Net Sales of the Earn-Out Product (vorasidenib) occurring during such calendar year, then (i) the portion of such payment that represents Retained Receivables shall be held by the Purchaser (or such Affiliate) in trust for the benefit of the Seller in a segregated account (provided that the Deposit Account shall constitute a segregated account for this purpose if the Deposit Account only contains payments from the Counterparty), (ii) the Purchaser (or such Affiliate) shall have no right, title or interest whatsoever in such portion of such payment and shall not create or suffer to exist any Lien thereon, and (iii) the Purchaser (or such Affiliate) promptly, and in any event no later than [**] following the receipt by the Purchaser (or such Affiliate) of such portion of such payment, shall remit such portion of such payment to the Seller Account in the exact form received with all necessary endorsements.
b.The Seller shall make all payments required to be made by it to the Purchaser pursuant to this Purchase and Sale Agreement (including (i) any payment of Vorasidenib Receivables, (ii) any payment by the Seller pursuant to Section 5.4(d); (iii) any payment by the Seller of amounts pursuant to Section 5.6, (iv) any payment of amounts to gross up Seller for any Specified Tax Withholding pursuant to Section 5.7, and (v) any payment paid to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.1) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, without set-off, off-set, deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes (subject to Section 5.7(b)) (provided that the Purchaser has delivered to the Seller a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E, or other applicable IRS withholding form, establishing entitlement to an exemption from withholding under a United States income Tax treaty), to the Deposit Account as set forth on Schedule 1.2 (or to such other account as the Purchaser shall notify the Seller in writing from time to time).
c.The Purchaser shall make all payments required to be made by it to the Seller pursuant to this Purchase and Sale Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds, without set-off, off-set, deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.7) (provided that the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a properly executed IRS Form W-9 or other appropriate form in order to avoid Tax withholding), to the Seller Account.
d.If Counterparty, any Affiliate of Counterparty or any Sublicensee takes any Receivables Reduction against Vorasidenib Receivables (other than for Permitted Deductions or for any prior over-payment of Vorasidenib Receivables actually made to the Purchaser or as a result of a Credit Event), then the Seller shall cause the amount of such Receivables Reduction (or portion thereof, as the case may be) to be paid promptly (but in no event later than [**] following such Receivables Reduction) to the Deposit Account. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein or in any other Transaction Document shall provide recourse by the Purchaser to the Seller as a result of any failure by a Counterparty to generate Net Sales unless such failure results from the breach by the Seller of a representation, warranty, or covenant hereunder, and no such failure by a Counterparty to generate Net Sales shall be deemed a Receivables Reduction hereunder.
27

Section 5.5 Counterparty Agreement.
a.From and after the Effective Date, the Seller shall perform and comply in all material respects with its duties and obligations under the Counterparty Agreement related to or affecting the Purchased Assets and shall otherwise act as reasonably instructed from time to time by the Purchaser under the Counterparty Agreement in respect of the Purchased Assets.

The Seller shall promptly (and in any case within [**] of receipt thereof) deliver to the Purchaser copies of all fully-executed or definitive writings related to the matters set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v).
b.From and after the Effective Date, the Seller shall not, except as reasonably instructed by the Purchaser (and at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense), grant or withhold any consent, exercise or waive any right or option, and shall not, in contravention of any instruction by the Purchaser, fail to exercise any right or option or exercise or fail to exercise any action in or under the Counterparty Agreement affecting or relating to the Purchased Assets; provided that the Purchaser shall not issue any instruction to Seller or exercise any action that would be reasonably likely to reduce the Vorasidenib Receivables.
c.If (i) the Seller receives a written notice from Counterparty (A) terminating the Counterparty Agreement (in whole or in part) or any of its obligations thereunder, (B) alleging any breach of or default under the Counterparty Agreement by the Seller, (C) asserting the existence of any facts, circumstances or events that, alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events, would reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time, or both) to give rise to a breach of or default under the Counterparty Agreement by the Seller or the right to terminate the Counterparty Agreement (in
28




whole or in part) or any of its obligations thereunder by Counterparty, (D) that would otherwise reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change or (E) any other material correspondence relating to the foregoing, or (ii) the Seller otherwise obtains Knowledge of any fact, circumstance or event that, alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events, would reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time, or both) to give rise to a breach of or default under the Counterparty Agreement by the Seller or give rise to the right of Counterparty to terminate the Counterparty Agreement (in whole or in party) or any of its obligation thereunder by Counterparty or would otherwise reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, in each case, the Seller shall (A) promptly (and in any event within [**]) give a written notice to the Purchaser describing the material details thereof, including a copy of any written notice received from Counterparty, and, in the case of any such breach or default or alleged breach or default by the Seller, describing in reasonable detail any corrective action the Seller proposes to take, and (B) in the case of any breach or default or alleged breach or default by the Seller, use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cure such breach or default.
d.If Seller obtains Knowledge of a breach of or default under, or an alleged breach of or default under, the Counterparty Agreement by Counterparty or of the existence of any facts, circumstances or events that, alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events, would reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time, or both) to give rise to (x) a breach of or default under the Counterparty Agreement by Counterparty relating to or affecting the Purchased Assets or (y) the right to terminate the Counterparty Agreement (in whole or in part) by the Seller, in each case, the Seller shall (i) promptly (but in any event within [**]) give a written notice to the Purchaser and provide the Purchaser with a written summary of all material details thereof, and (ii) at the sole cost and expense of the Purchaser, act in accordance with the Purchaser’s reasonable instructions to take such permissible actions (including commencing legal action against Counterparty and the selection of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser) to enforce compliance by Counterparty with the relevant provisions of the Counterparty Agreement and to exercise any or all of the Purchaser’s or the Seller’s rights and remedies, whether under the Counterparty Agreement or by operation of law, with respect thereto, provided that the reasonableness of any such instruction shall take into account the rights of the Seller to the Retained Receivables. The proceeds of any enforcement action taken pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the extent compensating for losses arising directly from the Purchased Assets shall be considered to be Vorasidenib Receivables for all purposes hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article V, nothing herein shall prevent, restrict or limit the Purchaser from directly enforcing, at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, the Purchaser’s entitlement to the Purchased Assets with counsel selected by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, provided that any such enforcement shall reasonably consider the rights of the Seller to the Retained Receivables.
e.Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller and Seller’s counterparties under the Sagard Agreement to minimize any conflicts between Purchaser’s rights hereunder and such counterparties’ rights under the Sagard Agreement, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall require Purchaser to compromise its rights hereunder.
29




f.The Seller shall make available its relevant records and personnel to the Purchaser in connection with any prosecution of litigation by the Seller or the Purchaser against Counterparty to enforce any of the Purchaser’s rights under the Counterparty Agreement related to or affecting the Purchased Assets, and provide reasonable assistance and authority to file and bring the litigation, including, if required to bring the litigation, being joined as a party plaintiff.
Section 5.6 Mergers, Consolidation and Asset Sales Involving Counterparty. If there occurs a merger or consolidation between the Seller, on the one hand, and Counterparty or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, a sale of all or substantially all of the Seller’s assets to Counterparty or a sale or assignment of the Counterparty Agreement by the Seller to Counterparty, and in any such case the Purchaser’s rights to the Purchased Assets or under this Purchase and Sale Agreement are diminished in any material respect, (i) the Seller (or its successor) shall pay to the Purchaser an amount in cash equal to any Vorasidenib Receivables that it does not receive from the Counterparty on the same basis (in both amount and timing) as if the Purchaser’s rights to the Purchased Assets or under this Purchase and Sale Agreement were not so diminished and (ii) the Purchaser’s rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and the covenants of the Seller under this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall continue to apply on the same basis as if the Purchaser’s rights to the Purchased Assets or under this Purchase and Sale Agreement were not diminished in such way.
Section 5.7 Tax Matters.
a.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, the Seller and the Purchaser shall treat the transactions contemplated by this Purchase and Sale Agreement as a sale of the Purchased Assets for United States federal, state and local Tax purposes.
b.All payments to the Purchaser and the Seller under this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax, except as required by Applicable Law; provided, that, if any deduction or withholding of any Tax is required from any such payment under this Purchase and Sale Agreement or from any payment under the Counterparty Agreement by reason of the Seller being a party to the Counterparty Agreement or to the extent resulting from any action by the Seller, including any assignment or transfer by the Seller pursuant to Section 8.4 of this Agreement (a “Specified Tax Withholding”), then the Seller shall, within [**] of the Purchaser receiving any payment subject to such Specified Tax Withholding make a payment to the Purchaser so that, after making all such required deductions and withholdings (including any deductions and withholdings required with respect to any such additional payment), the Purchaser receives an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Notwithstanding the above, the parties agree that as long as the Purchaser provides the Seller with IRS withholding forms establishing entitlement to an exemption from withholding in accordance with Section 5.4(b), if applicable, no such deduction or withholding is intended on any payment made to the Purchaser under this Purchase and Sale Agreement. If the Seller determines or becomes aware that any such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law with respect to any payment pursuant to the Counterparty Agreement or to be remitted by the Seller on any payment hereunder, (i) the Seller shall notify the Purchaser at least [**] in advance of such payment,
30




(ii) the Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such filings and take such other actions as may be specified by the Purchaser in order to permit an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax imposed on or with respect to any payments made to the Purchaser under this Purchase and Sale Agreement or the Counterparty Agreement, and (iii) if such Tax is to be remitted by the Seller on any payment hereunder, the Seller shall timely pay to the applicable Governmental Authority the full amount deducted or withheld and provide the Purchaser with proof of payment of such amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority within [**] of making such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to Article VII of this Purchase and Sale Agreement (to the extent there is any deduction or withholding of Taxes arising out of a breach by Seller of any representations, warranties or covenants that would be reimbursable under Article VII of this Purchase and Sale Agreement), Seller shall not be obligated to pay or otherwise reimburse the Purchaser for any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax required in connection with payments made under this Purchase and Sale Agreement or from any payment under the Counterparty Agreement, other than in connection with a Specified Tax Withholding.
c.The parties hereto, severally and not jointly, agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.7 on any Tax return or in any audit or other Tax-related administrative or judicial proceeding unless the other parties hereto have consented in writing to such actions. If there is an inquiry by any Governmental Authority of the Seller or the Purchaser related to the treatment described in this Section 5.7, the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in responding to such inquiry in a reasonable manner which is consistent with this Section 5.7.
Section 5.8 Existence. From and after the Effective Date, the Seller shall (a) preserve and maintain its existence (provided, however, that, subject in all respects to Section 8.4, nothing in this Section 5.8(a) shall prohibit the Seller from entering into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation with, or selling or otherwise transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, and other Person if the Seller is the continuing or surviving entity or if the surviving or continuing or acquiring entity assumes (whether expressly or by operation of law) all of the obligations of the Seller), (b) preserve and maintain its rights, franchises and privileges unless failure to do any of the foregoing would not be a Material Adverse Change, (c) qualify and remain qualified in good standing in each jurisdiction where the failure to preserve and maintain such qualifications would be a Material Adverse Change, including appointing and employing such agents or attorneys in each jurisdiction where it shall be necessary to take action under this Purchase and Sale Agreement, and (d) comply with its organizational documents unless failure to do so would not be a Material Adverse Change.
Section 5.9 Audits; Underpayment of Vorasidenib Receivables; Overpayment of Vorasidenib Receivables.
a.From and after the Effective Date, the Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if such inspection or audit has been requested by the Purchaser’s Representative (as defined in the Sagard Agreement)), and the Seller shall, upon the written request of the Purchaser (and at the sole cost and expense of the Purchaser), cause an inspection or audit of
31




Counterparty’s books and records to be conducted pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 2.13(e) of the Counterparty Agreement related to the Purchased Assets. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser (i) written notice if the Purchaser (as defined in the Sagard Agreement) exercises its right to cause an inspection or audit of Counterparty’s books and records pursuant to Section 5.9(a) of the Sagard Agreement and (ii) a reasonable advanced opportunity to join in such inspection or audit. For the purposes of exercising the Purchaser’s rights pursuant to this Section 5.9, the Seller shall select such Independent Accounting Firm as the Purchaser shall recommend for such purpose.

The Seller and the Purchaser agree that all of the out-of-pocket expenses of any inspection or audit carried out with the consent or at the request of the Purchaser that would otherwise be borne by the Seller pursuant to the Counterparty Agreement shall, to the extent such inspection or audit relates to the Purchased Assets, instead be borne by the Purchaser, including such fees and expenses of such Independent Accounting Firm as are to be borne by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.13(e) of the Counterparty Agreement together with the Seller’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such inspection or audit to the extent such inspection or audit relates to the Purchased Assets. The Seller will furnish to the Purchaser any inspection or audit report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit. The Purchaser shall have the right to require the Seller, in writing, at the sole cost and expense of the Purchaser, to exercise the Seller’s rights under the Counterparty Agreement to cause Counterparty to cure any discrepancy identified in the relevant audit report in accordance with the Counterparty Agreement. If the Applicable Percentage is reduced to 80.0% for the balance of Net Sales occurring during a particular calendar year because the Purchaser has actually received $150 million in Vorasidenib Receivables in respect of Net Sales of the Earn-Out Product (vorasidenib) occurring during such calendar year, the Purchaser and the Seller shall reasonably cooperate with one another regarding any audit request to the Counterparty with respect to Net Sales of the Earn-Out Product (vorasidenib) occurring during the remaining portion of such calendar year when the Applicable Percentage is 80.0%.
b.In the event of an underpayment of Vorasidenib Receivables under the Counterparty Agreement in respect of aggregate annual Net Sales of the Earn-Out Product (vorasidenib) made in the US Territory, the Seller shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, furnish to Counterparty an invoice created by the Purchaser for the amount of such underpayment within [**] after the final determination thereof, and shall instruct Counterparty to pay or cause to be paid to the Deposit Account an amount in cash equal to such underpayment. If the Applicable Percentage is reduced to 80.0% for the balance of Net Sales occurring during a particular calendar year because the Purchaser has actually received $150 million in Vorasidenib Receivables in respect of Net Sales of the Earn-Out Product (vorasidenib) occurring during such calendar year, the Purchaser and the Seller shall reasonably cooperate with one another regarding any underpayment of Vorasidenib Receivables and/or Retained Receivables by the Counterparty
32




with respect to Net Sales of the Earn-Out Product (vorasidenib) occurring during the remaining portion of such calendar year when the Applicable Percentage is 80.0%.
c.In the event of an overpayment of Vorasidenib Receivables under the Counterparty Agreement received by the Purchaser in respect of aggregate annual Net Sales of the Earn-Out Product (vorasidenib) made in the US Territory, the Purchaser shall (x) if the Counterparty chooses cash repayment of such overpayment pursuant to clause (A) in the second sentence of 2.13(a)(iv) or 2.13(e)(A) of the Counterparty Agreement, pay or cause to be paid to Counterparty the amount in cash equal to such overpayment within [**] following receipt of an invoice from Counterparty after the after the final determination thereof, or (y) if the Counterparty chooses to offset such overpayment pursuant to clause (B) in the second sentence of 2.13(a)(iv) or 2.13(e)(B) of the Counterparty Agreement, such offset shall be deemed to be a “Permitted Deduction” hereunder for which the Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse the Purchaser under this Purchase and Sale Agreement. If the Applicable Percentage is reduced to 80.0% for the balance of Net Sales occurring during a particular calendar year because the Purchaser has actually received $150 million in Vorasidenib Receivables in respect of Net Sales of the Earn-Out Product (vorasidenib) occurring during such calendar year, the Purchaser and the Seller shall reasonably cooperate with one another regarding any overpayment of Vorasidenib Receivables and/or Retained Receivables by the Counterparty with respect to Net Sales of the Earn-Out Product (vorasidenib) occurring during the remaining portion of such calendar year when the Applicable Percentage is 80.0%.

The parties hereto agree to act reasonably in amending the Counterparty Instruction to reflect the Seller’s irrevocable instruction to the Counterparty to pay the Vorasidenib Receivables to any deposit account designated by the Purchaser (which shall initially be the Deposit Account), and the Seller shall promptly deliver such amended Counterparty Instruction to the Counterparty. If the Applicable Percentage is reduced to 80.0% for the balance of Net Sales occuring during a particular calendar year because the Purchaser has actually received $150 million in Vorasidenib Receivables in respect of Net Sales of the Earn-Out Product (vorasidenib) occurring during such calendar year, the parties hereto shall promptly cooperate regarding a mechanism to divide and distribute the Vorasidenib Receivables to the Purchaser and the Retained Receivables to the Seller, including, as appropriate, through the continued use of the Deposit Account from which Purchaser will divide and distribute the applicable amounts to the Seller for the remainder of such calendar year, or, if the Purchaser is in material breach of this Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Seller so elects, through a revised Counterparty Instruction by which Seller instructs the Counterparty to make payments on account of the Retained Receivables directly to the Seller; provided that, in all events, payments received by the
33




Purchaser on account of Retained Receivables shall be paid to the Seller within [**] following receipt by the Purchaser.

35




Counterparty Agreement, (iii) any Excluded Liabilities and Obligations, and (iv) any fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or other amounts incurred or owed by the Seller to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Purchase and Sale Agreement; provided, however, that Seller shall not be liable for the payment to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any portion of such Losses resulting from such Purchaser Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or resulting from any Permitted Deduction or Credit Event. Any amounts due to any Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder shall be payable to the Seller to such Purchaser Indemnified Party within [**] of written demand.
Section 7.2 Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Seller and its Affiliates and any and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, representatives and advisers (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against, and will pay to each Seller Indemnified Party the amount of, any and all Losses (including attorneys’ fees) awarded against or incurred or suffered by such Seller Indemnified Party whether or not involving a third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Purchaser in any of the Transaction Documents to which the Purchaser is party or certificates given by the Purchaser in any of the Transaction Documents to which the Purchaser is party or certificates given by the Purchaser in writing pursuant hereto or thereto, (ii) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document to which the Purchaser is party and (iii) any fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or other amounts incurred or owed by the Purchaser to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Purchase and Sale Agreement; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be liable for the payment to any Seller Indemnified Party for any portion of such Losses resulting from such Seller Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any amounts due to any Seller Indemnified Party hereunder shall be payable by the Purchaser to such Seller Indemnified Party within [**] of written demand.
Section 7.3 Procedures. If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any; provided, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 unless, and only to the extent that, the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such omission. In the event that any such action is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in accordance with this Section 7.3, the indemnifying party will be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Article
36




VII for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (a) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (b) the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (c) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of counsel to the indemnified party, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement, compromise or discharge of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge, as the case may be, (i) includes an unconditional written release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding, (ii) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (iii) does not impose any obligation or restrictions on any indemnified party.
Section 7.4 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud or intentional breach, following the Effective Date, the indemnification afforded by this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by a party hereto in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by a party hereto in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by a party hereto pursuant to any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding anything in this Purchase and Sale Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any breach or failure in performance of any covenant or agreement contained in any Transaction Document, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 8.2.
Section 7.5 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) the Seller shall not have any liability under Section 7.1(i) in excess of [**], provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to breach of any of the representations, covenants or agreements set forth in Sections 3.8 and 5.7, and (b) the Purchaser shall have no liability under Section 7.2(i) in excess of [**].
37




Section 7.6 Tax Treatment for Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article 7 will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for U.S. federal income tax to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.1 Termination; Survival.
a.[Reserved].
b.This Purchase and Sale Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, and, so long as the Closing occurs, this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until there are no longer Vorasidenib Receivables from the Earn-Out Product (vorasidenib), at which point this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall terminate, except for any rights, obligations or claims of either party hereto that have accrued prior to such termination; provided, however, that the provisions of Article II, Section 5.2, Section 5.4(d), Section 5.7, Section 5.9, Article VII and Article VIII shall survive such termination. Unless and until this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall have terminated in accordance with the prior sentence, all representations, warranties and covenants made herein and in any other Transaction Document or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Effective Date and the Closing Date; provided that, on and after the Closing Date, all representations and warranties shall be deemed made only as of the Closing Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be deemed made as of such earlier date). The rights hereunder to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedies based on such representations, warranties and covenants shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time (whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Purchase and Sale Agreement or the Effective Date) in respect of the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty or covenant. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, shall not affect the rights hereunder to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedies based on such representations, warranties and covenants. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in all respects if the FDA Approval has not occurred by October 31, 2024, unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to such date by Seller and Purchaser.

Section 8.4 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Seller shall not be entitled to assign or otherwise transfer any Transaction Document or any of its obligations, rights or interests under any of the Transaction Documents, in whole or in part, by operation of law, merger, change of control or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that such assignment is an assignment of all of Seller’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and meets the provisions of Section 8.04(a)(ii), Section 8.4(a)(iii) and Section 8.4(b) below), and any purported assignment or transfer without such consent shall be void and of no effect; provided, however, that the Seller may, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, assign all of its obligations and rights under this Purchase and Sale Agreement (in whole, and not in part) to any other Person with
39




which it may merge or consolidate or to which it may sell all or substantially all of its assets (including the Counterparty Agreement), provided that (a) the assignee under such assignment (i) is a Qualified Assignee, (ii) has also been assigned the Counterparty Agreement in connection with such transaction, and (iii) agrees to be bound by the terms of the Transaction Documents and the Counterparty Agreement and furnishes a written agreement to the Purchaser in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser to that effect, and (b) such transaction does not require either Counterparty to deduct or withhold from payments of the Vorasidenib Receivables any additional taxes pursuant to the Counterparty Agreement or under Applicable Law that would not be reimbursable to the Purchaser under this Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Purchaser may assign any of its obligations and rights hereunder without restriction and without the consent of the Seller: (i) to any of its Affiliates, its limited partners and any feeder vehicles, managed funds and alternative investment vehicles each of them may establish, and (ii) to any other Person with the prior written consent of the Counterparties. The Purchaser shall give notice of any assignment to the Seller promptly after the occurrence thereof.

This Purchase and Sale Agreement is not a partnership, joint venture agreement or similar agreement, and nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to constitute the Seller and the Purchaser, and/or Counterparty, any Sublicensee or Affiliate thereof, as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity or legal form for any purposes, including any Tax purposes. The parties hereto agree that they shall not take any inconsistent position with respect to such treatment in a filing with any Governmental Authority.
