(ix)all other Liabilities of Seller and its Affiliates to the extent arising out of or relating to the Operations or the Acquired Assets or the ownership, sale or lease of any of the Acquired Assets, in each case, arising out of events, circumstances or activities on or prior to the Closing Date.

SECTION 1.04  Risk of Loss. Any loss of or damage to the Facility caused by fire, casualty or other similar occurrence, which is not caused by Purchaser or Genezen, occurring after the Execution Date and prior to Closing that results in, or is reasonably likely to result in, a closure of the Facility [***], or a material interruption in the Operations, lasting [***] ([***]) days or longer (a “Casualty Loss”) shall be the sole responsibility of Seller.  Without limiting the foregoing, if the Facility shall suffer a Casualty Loss, [***], shall use [***] to repair the Facility, or the relevant portion thereof, to substantially the condition thereof prior to such Casualty Loss prior to the Closing [***].  The remedies set forth in this Section 1.04 shall be the Parties’ sole remedies in the event of a Casualty Loss, unless the Casualty Loss is caused by Purchaser, and no Purchaser Indemnitee may make a claim for indemnification or be indemnified for any Loss under Section 10.01 or Section 10.03.

SECTION 1.05  Consents of Third Parties.

(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not, nor shall any Other Transaction Document, constitute an agreement to assign, transfer, grant or otherwise provide, directly or indirectly, any asset, claim or right that would otherwise be an Acquired Asset, or any benefit arising under or resulting from such asset, claim or right, if an attempted direct or indirect assignment, transfer, grant or other provision thereof, without the consent of a Third Party, would constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such Third Party, would be ineffective with respect to any party to an agreement concerning such asset,

claim or right, or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller, Seller Parent or any of their Affiliates or, upon assignment, transfer, grant or other provision, Purchaser under such asset, claim or right (collectively, the “Non-Assignable Assets”).  If any direct or indirect transfer, assignment, grant or other provision by Seller or any direct or indirect assumption by Purchaser of, any interest in, or liability, obligation or commitment under, any Non-Assignable Asset requires the consent of a Third Party, then such transfer, assignment, grant or other provision or assumption shall be made subject to such consent being obtained (including, with respect to Seller, in connection with this Agreement or any Other Transaction Document).

(b)Except to the extent it would result in the failure of a condition specified in ARTICLE III, if any such consent referred to in Section 1.05(a) is not obtained prior to the Closing, the Closing shall nonetheless take place and, thereafter, Seller and Seller Parent shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to, (i) retain such Non-Assignable Asset for the use and benefit of Purchaser and implement an arrangement such that Purchaser shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of such Third Party or violating any applicable Law) the economic claims, rights and benefits under any such Non-Assignable Asset, (ii) take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to place Purchaser in the same position as if such Non-Assignable Asset had been transferred at the Closing as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Non-Assignable Asset, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Non-Assignable Asset, are to inure from and after the Closing to Purchaser; and (iii) cause the counterparty to each Non-Assignable Asset to consent to the assignment of such Non-Assignable Asset to the extent such consent is required.  If Purchaser is provided with the benefits of any such Non-Assignable Asset, Purchaser shall assume any corresponding performance obligations and economic burden (including the amount of any related Tax costs imposed on Seller or Seller Parent) with respect to such Non-Assignable Asset pursuant to its applicable terms, except for any Liabilities under such Non-Assignable Asset that constitute an Excluded Liability.  Without limiting the foregoing, at the reasonable request and expense of Purchaser, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to enforce any rights or remedies Seller may have with respect to any Non-Assignable Asset, the transfer of which is delayed or not completed on the Closing Date and shall promptly pay over to Purchaser any amounts received by Seller with respect to such Non-Assignable Assets to the extent Purchaser assumes the corresponding performance obligations and economic burden (including the amount of any related Tax costs imposed on Seller or Seller Parent) with respect to such Non-Assignable Asset pursuant to its applicable terms, except for any Liabilities under such Non-Assignable Asset that constitute an Excluded Liability.  For no additional consideration and after (i) obtaining the applicable authorization, consent or waiver, any such Non-Assignable Asset, or (ii) Purchaser provides written notice to Seller that, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, Purchaser is able to assume the applicable performance obligations with respect to any such Non-Assignable Asset shall be deemed to automatically be conveyed, assigned, transferred and delivered to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be deemed to automatically acquire, accept and assume such Non-Assignable Asset and such Non-Assignable Asset shall be an “Acquired Asset” hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 1.05  shall (except, with respect to any Transferred Contracts, as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement) require Seller or Seller Parent to: (i) commence, defend or participate in any litigation; or (ii) except for any Liabilities under such Non-Assignable Asset, in either case, that constitute an Excluded Liability, unless and to the extent Purchaser or its designated Affiliates assumes the corresponding performance obligations and economic burden, expend any money, incur any obligation, or offer or grant any accommodation

(financial or otherwise) to any Third Party (provided that (except, with respect to any Transferred Contracts as otherwise expressly provided in the Transition Services Agreement) in no event shall Seller or Seller Parent be required to incur any obligation, or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party to obtain a consent or waiver from any Third Party, other than, individually or in the aggregate, de minimis nonmonetary obligations or accommodations).

(c)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each of Purchaser and Genezen agrees that, except as provided in the last sentence of Section 1.05 (e), none of Seller, Seller Parent or any of their Affiliates shall have any liability or obligation whatsoever to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents or waivers set forth in Schedule 1.05(c) (each, a “Specified Consent”) or because of the termination of any Transferred Contract or Transferred Permit as a result of the failure to obtain any such Specified Consent and no condition to the Closing set forth in Article III shall be deemed not satisfied, as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any such Specified Consent, (ii) any such termination as a result of the failure to obtain any such Specified Consent or (iii) any claim, lawsuit, action, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such Specified Consent or any such termination as a result of the failure to obtain any such Specified Consent.

(d)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, unless and until any required written consent or approval with respect to any Non-Assignable Asset is obtained, such Non-Assignable Asset shall not constitute an Acquired Asset and any associated Liability pertaining thereto shall not constitute an Assumed Liability for any purpose under this Agreement.

(e)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller’s, Seller Parent’s and their Affiliates’ obligations under this Section 1.05  shall not extend beyond [***] following the Closing.  Any Non-Assignable Asset terminated by Seller pursuant to this Section 1.05 (e) shall be deemed an Excluded Asset and any Liability arising out of such termination shall be an Excluded Liability for which Seller shall be solely liable.

SECTION 1.06  Remittances.

(a)Received by Seller, Seller Parent or their Affiliates.  After the Closing, if Seller, Seller Parent or any of their Affiliates receives (i) any amount that is an Acquired Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) any amount that is related to claims or other matters for which Purchaser is responsible hereunder, and which amount is not an Excluded Asset, or is otherwise properly due and owing to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Seller or Seller Parent, as applicable, promptly shall remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount to Purchaser at the address set forth in Section 12.06.

(b)Received by Purchaser.  After the Closing, if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates receives (i) any amount that is an Excluded Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to Seller, Seller Parent or any of their Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) any amount that is related to claims or other matters for which Seller, Seller Parent or any of their Affiliates is responsible hereunder, and which amount is not an Acquired Asset, or is

10


otherwise properly due and owing to Seller, Seller Parent or any of their Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser promptly shall remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount to Seller and Seller Parent at the address set forth in Section 12.06.

(a)Reimbursed Seller Expenses.  Any amounts prepaid by Seller under leases of personal property that are included in the Acquired Assets shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser, with Seller being responsible for all such expenses or other Liabilities attributable to periods on or prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser reimbursing Seller for all such expenses or other Liabilities prepaid by Seller and attributable to periods after the Closing Date, and any amounts due under the Lexington Lease shall be prorated to the extent any amounts are not provided for in the Lexington Lease Assignment (the “Reimbursed Seller Expenses”).

13


(b)Reimbursed Purchaser Expenses.  Any costs or expenses in respect of goods or services received by Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing under any Transferred Contract or Transferred Permits, to the extent the payment for which becomes due and payable by Purchaser after the Closing Date, shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser, with Purchaser being responsible for all such expenses or other Liabilities attributable to periods following the Closing Date, and Seller reimbursing Purchaser for all such expenses and other Liabilities and attributable to periods on or before the Closing Date (the “Reimbursed Purchaser Expenses”).

(c)Closing Proration Statement.  Not later than [***] ([***]) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Purchaser a statement executed by an authorized officer of Seller (the “Closing Proration Statement”) setting forth Seller’s good faith calculation of: (i) the amount of any Reimbursed Seller Expenses; (ii) the amount of any Reimbursed Purchaser Expenses; and (iii) the Net Reimbursement Amount derived therefrom, enclosing copies of the applicable written evidence and reasonable supporting documentation for the calculations therein.  In a reasonable manner as to not interfere with normal operations, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall provide Seller (and its representatives) reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance written notice, to the books, records, supporting data, facilities and personnel of the Operations, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser and its Affiliates, as applicable, for purposes of assisting Seller and its representatives in their preparation and delivery of the Closing Proration Statement pursuant to the foregoing sentence.

(d)Dispute Resolution.  During the period of [***] ([***]) days after the delivery of the Closing Proration Statement (the “Review Period”), in a reasonable manner as to not interfere with normal operations, Seller and its Affiliates shall provide Purchaser (and its representatives) reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance written notice, to the books, records, supporting data, facilities and personnel of the Operations, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser and its Affiliates, as applicable, for purposes of assisting Purchaser and its representatives in their review of the Closing Proration Statement. Purchaser may object to the Net Reimbursement Amount as reflected in the Closing Proration Statement by presenting a written demand therefore together with reasonable evidence and supporting documentation for such objections to Seller (a “Written Request”) prior to the expiration of the Review Period.  If Purchaser does not deliver a Written Request within the Review Period, the Closing Proration Statement shall be deemed final and shall be binding upon the Parties for purposes of this Agreement.  If a Written Request is properly delivered pursuant to this Section 2.03 (d), the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the objections setting forth on such Written Request within [***] ([***]) Business Days of receipt of such Written Request.  Any items set forth in the Closing Proration Statement that are not objected to in the Written Request during the Review Period pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.03 (d) shall be deemed to have been accepted and shall be final and binding upon the Parties for purposes of this Agreement, except to the extent that an adjustment to the amount of any Unresolved Dispute made in accordance with this Section 2.03 (e) requires an offsetting adjustment to any such item.  If, at the end of such [***] ([***]) Business Day period (or such longer period as mutually agreed by Seller and Purchaser), Seller and Purchaser remain unable to resolve all the objections, then the unresolved items and amounts, and only such the unresolved items and amounts (the “Unresolved Dispute”) shall be promptly submitted to a nationally recognized financial services firm, reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, which shall not be the independent accountants of

14


Seller or Purchaser or their respective Affiliates (such firm, the “Independent Expert”).  The Independent Expert shall determine, as soon as reasonably possible, and based solely on the provisions of this Section 2.03 , U.S. GAAP and the written presentations by Seller and Purchaser made pursuant to this Section 2.03 (d), and not by independent review, only the Unresolved Dispute.  The Independent Expert shall act as expert and not as an arbitrator.  Except as Seller and Purchaser may otherwise agree, all communications between Seller and Purchaser or any of their respective representatives, on the one hand, and the Independent Expert, on the other hand, shall be in writing with copies simultaneously delivered to the other such Party.  In no event shall the decision of the Independent Expert assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Seller or Purchaser or lesser than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Seller or Purchaser.  The resolution of such the Unresolved Dispute by the Independent Expert shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties (absent manifest error).  All fees and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be borne on a proportionate basis by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded in favor of Purchaser or Seller to the amount actually contested by such Person.  Within [***] ([***]) Business Days following the determination of the final Closing Proration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.03 (d), (i) if the Net Reimbursement Amount set forth on the final Closing Proration Statement is a positive number, Purchaser shall pay the amount equal to the Net Reimbursement Amount to Seller and (ii) if the Net Reimbursement Amount setting forth on the final Closing Proration Statement is a negative number, Seller shall pay the amount equal to the absolute value of the Net Reimbursement Amount to Purchaser.  Any such payment of the Net Reimbursement Amount shall be made via the wire transfer of immediately available funds and treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

(e)Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such amounts as Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of applicable Law. Prior to deducting or withholding any amounts from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to give at least five Business Days advance notice to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding will be made and reasonably cooperate with such Person to reduce or eliminate any amounts that would otherwise be deductible or withheld to the extent permitted by applicable Law, unless such deduction or withholding is a result of Seller’s failure to deliver a duly executed and valid IRS Form W-9 at or before Closing.  To the extent that amounts payable to a recipient are so withheld by Purchaser and properly remitted to the applicable taxing authority, such withheld and remitted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipient.

SECTION 2.04  Inventory.

(a)Pre-Closing Count.  On a day to be reasonably agreed between parties which is at least [***] business days prior to the Closing, representatives of Purchaser and Seller, supervised or observed, if requested by either Purchaser or Seller (and at the requesting party’s sole expense), by an independent third party mutually agreed by Purchaser and Seller (the “Inventory Auditor”), shall conduct a physical count of the Acquired Inventory [***]. The value of the Acquired Inventory for purposes of this Section 2.04 shall be determined based on the acquisition cost of raw materials as well as raw materials that are included in the cost of unfinished

15


or finished Acquired Inventory  (the “Cash Impact Inventory Value”). In connection with the calculation of Cash Impact Inventory Value, Purchaser will have reasonable access to the requisite accounting and other records of Seller and to the Facility and each other location where Acquired Inventory is stored. Purchaser and Seller will use their respective reasonable best efforts to complete an estimate of such physical count, which shall be final and binding for the purposes of the calculation of the Cash Impact Inventory True-Up Amount absent fraud or manifest error. If Purchaser and Seller cannot agree upon the Cash Impact Inventory Value based upon such physical count, Purchaser and Seller shall submit such matter to the Inventory Auditor, with the fees and expenses thereof to be shared equally by Purchaser and Seller; and any determination by such Inventory Auditor shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for the purposes of the calculation of the Cash Impact Inventory True-Up Amount absent fraud or manifest error.

(b)Cash Impact Inventory True-Up Amount. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cash Impact Inventory True-Up Amount” shall mean an amount equal to $[***].

(c)True-Up. Not later than [***] ([***]) days after the Closing Date, if the Cash Impact Inventory True-Up Amount is greater than $[***], the Seller shall pay to Purchaser via the wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount in cash equal to the Cash Impact Inventory True-Up Amount. If the Cash Impact Inventory True-Up Amount is equal to $[***], then Seller will have no obligation to pay the Cash Impact Inventory True-Up Amount and shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 2.04 .

SECTION 2.05  Reagents. [***].

SECTION 5.03  Lexington Confidential Information.

(a)Following the Closing, Seller and Seller Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to treat and hold any proprietary and confidential information to the extent such information constitutes Acquired Assets (collectively, the “Lexington Confidential Information”) with at least the same degree of care, but no less than reasonable care, with which it protects its own confidential information.  Lexington Confidential Information shall not be used by Seller, Seller Parent or their respective Affiliates except in accordance with the next sentence.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.03  shall not limit or restrict in any manner the disclosure or use of Lexington Confidential Information by Seller, Seller Parent and their respective Affiliates in connection with providing services to Purchaser and its Affiliates under any Other Transaction Document; provided that nothing herein shall limit Seller’s, Seller Parent’s, or their respective Affiliates’ obligations pursuant to any other portion of this Agreement or any Other Transaction Document.

(b)The obligations of confidentiality contained in Section 5.03 (a) with respect to the Lexington Confidential Information shall not apply to any information to the extent that (i) it is already, or becomes, publicly available or otherwise part of the public domain after the Closing Date, and other than through any fault of Seller, Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates in breach of this Agreement or any other obligation of confidentiality, (ii) it is disclosed to Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a Third Party who to the Knowledge of Seller after reasonable inquiry with such Third Party has no obligation of any nature to Purchaser not to disclose such information to others or (iii) it can be shown to be acquired or developed independently by Seller after the Closing Date without reference to any Lexington Confidential Information in possession of Seller or any of its Affiliates as of immediately prior to the Closing.

(c)Notwithstanding Section 5.03 (a), Seller may disclose Lexington Confidential Information to the extent required by any Governmental Entity or otherwise as required by Law or legal process.  Before disclosing Lexington Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 5.03 (c), Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonably prompt notice of any court order, subpoena or interrogatories that requires disclosure of the Lexington Confidential Information so that Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with this Agreement to the extent legally permitted.  Seller shall consult with Purchaser on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such request or requirement and shall

35


otherwise cooperate with the efforts of Purchaser to protect the Lexington Confidential Information.  Further, in the event such disclosure is required by any Governmental Entity, Seller shall (i) redact mutually agreed upon portions of the Lexington Confidential Information, (ii) submit a request to such Governmental Entity that such portions of the Lexington Confidential Information receive confidential treatment or otherwise be held in the strictest confidence to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and (iii) be permitted to rely on the advice of Seller’s counsel with respect to its disclosure obligations under such requirement.

SECTION 5.04  Exclusive Dealings.  [***].

SECTION 5.05  Shared Contracts. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, prior to the Closing and for a period of no longer than the later of [***] ([***]) months and [***] following the Closing (unless otherwise agreed under the Transition Services Agreement), to cause each Contract set forth on Schedule 5.05, as such Schedule may be updated by Seller not less than three Business Days prior to Closing to include any Contracts that are material to, but not exclusively used in, the Operations and that are entered into by Seller or any of its Affiliates after the date of this Agreement to the extent Purchaser does not object to such updates, in its reasonable discretion (each such Contract, a “Shared Contract”) to be equitably apportioned (such that the rights and obligations of Purchaser and Seller are separated) through appropriate amendments and new Contracts entered into prior to, on or after the Closing Date so that Purchaser shall be entitled to the economic rights and benefits, and shall be responsible for any related economic burden, relating to the Operations thereunder and Seller or its applicable Affiliate shall be entitled to the economic rights and benefits, and shall be responsible for any related economic burden, relating to the balance of the subject matter of such Shared Contract (including any assets, properties or business not required to be transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Transaction Document).  Seller shall consult with Purchaser with respect to the amendment of such Shared Contracts and the negotiation of such new Contracts and, with respect to any amended Shared Contract or new Contract to be assigned to or executed by Purchaser, shall give Purchaser the ability to comment thereon and shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments provided by Purchaser.  If any such Shared Contract cannot be so amended (and new Contracts cannot be entered into) within such period, or if either of the foregoing would impair the benefits that either Purchaser or Seller would expect to derive from such amended Shared Contract, then the Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Purchaser an arrangement to provide Purchaser with the benefits of such Shared Contract in some other manner, including Seller and Purchaser entering into such lawful and commercially reasonable arrangements to place Purchaser in substantially the same economic and liability position as if such amendments and new Contracts were entered into in accordance with the foregoing (including by entering into sub-contracting, sub-licensing or sub-leasing arrangements for the benefit of Purchaser or enforcing for the benefit of Purchaser any and all rights of Seller against any Third Party to a Shared Contract to the extent relating to the Operations); provided, such arrangement does not infringe upon the legal rights of any Third Party, violate any Law or require Seller or any of its Affiliates to extend any credit, including by being liable for any order for which Purchaser has not prepaid such cost to Seller.  The obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall not extend beyond the remaining term of the applicable Shared Contract as of the Closing Date.

36


SECTION 5.06  License and Covenant not to Sue. Effective as of the Closing, Seller and Seller Parent, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, hereby irrevocably and perpetually grant to Purchaser a non-exclusive license, with the right to sublicense in one or more tiers, under the Operations Intellectual Property to conduct the Operations and to use and otherwise exploit the Acquired Assets, at or in connection with the Facility, and covenant that none of them shall, directly or indirectly, sue or commence, knowingly aid or prosecute or cause to be commenced, knowingly aided or prosecuted any action, suit or proceeding against Purchaser with respect to Purchaser’s use of the Operations Intellectual Property to the extent such use is (a) necessary or used in the conduct of the Operations or (b) in connection with the use or other exploitation of the Acquired Assets, at or in connection with the Facility.  The foregoing license and covenant may not be assigned or otherwise transferred except to an Affiliate of Purchaser engaged in the Operations at the Facility and/or to any acquirer or divested entity in connection with a sale, assignment, transfer or any other disposition or divestiture (in whole and not in part) of the Facility.

(c)To the Knowledge of Purchaser, it will not be necessary to use any Inventions of any of its employees or consultants (or Persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by Genezen, including prior employees or consultants.  Each employee, consultant or contractor engaged by Genezen has executed a legally binding agreement pursuant to which he, she, or it has assigned and agreed to assign to Genezen all intellectual property rights he or she owns or may in the future own that are related to Genezen’s business as now conducted and all intellectual property rights that he, she or it solely or jointly has or will conceive, reduce to practice, develop or make during the period of his, her or its employment or consulting relationship with Genezen that (a) relates, at the time of conception, reduction to practice, development, or making of such intellectual property right, to Genezen’s business as then conducted, (b) is developed on any amount of Genezen’s time or with the use of any of Genezen’s equipment, supplies, facilities or information or (c) results from the performance of services for Genezen, except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

41


or development of any Parent Intellectual Property, has performed services for the government, university, college, or other educational institution or research center in a manner that would affect Genezen’s rights in Parent Intellectual Property, or belief that it can acquire on commercially reasonable terms sufficient legal rights to all Parent Intellectual Property.

Covenants of Purchaser and Genezen

Purchaser and Genezen, jointly and severally, covenants and agrees as follows:

SECTION 7.01  Signage and Documentation.  Purchaser and Genezen shall ensure that, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event more than the later of: (i) [***] ([***]) days following the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of signage only, [***] ([***]) days following the date of the effectiveness of updating Purchaser as the manufacturer for the Facility in accordance with the FDA establishment registrations and any similar requirement under the Laws of any applicable jurisdiction) (1) any signage bearing Seller Marks at the Facility is either destroyed or otherwise permanently altered so that the former use of Seller Marks is entirely unrecognizable and undetectable and (2) the Seller Marks are removed from any documentation of the Transferred IP; provided, however, Purchaser and Genezen shall have no obligation to remove the Seller Marks from any physical documentation of the Transferred IP that (i) has been printed as of [***] ([***]) days following the Closing Date or (ii) is required by Law. Seller and Seller Parent, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, hereby grant (and cause their respective Affiliates to grant) to Purchaser a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license, without the right to sublicense, to continue to temporarily (and in any event no longer than [***] ([***]) days after the Closing) use the Seller Marks contained within or on such signage or documentation following the Closing, solely to the extent and in substantially the same manner as used in the Operations immediately prior to the Closing Date.  Any use by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates under this Section 7.01  of any materials and assets that bear the Seller Marks is subject to the use of such materials and assets in the form and manner, and with standards of quality, as in effect for such materials, assets and Seller Marks as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall not, and shall and hereby does cause its Affiliates not to, adopt, use, register or seek to register any trademark that contains a term, that is substantially similar to, or confusingly similar to any of the Seller Marks

48


(together with all variations, translations, transliterations and acronyms thereof).  For clarity, the foregoing does not limit any right to use the Seller Marks that Purchaser or its Affiliate would have had under Law or “fair use” principles (if any) but for Purchaser’s entry into this Agreement.

SECTION 7.02  Financing. Genezen shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, as promptly as possible, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain (a) the portion of the Series C Financing described in the Equity Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions described therein and (b) the funding of additional loans with a principal amount of $[***] pursuant to the Midcap Amendment (the “Midcap Incremental Loan”), including, in each case, using its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as possible, (i) maintain in effect the Equity Commitment Letter and comply with its obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis, all conditions to Genezen obtaining the Series C Financing set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter (including the payment of any fees required as a condition to the Series C Financing) and all conditions to the effectiveness of the Midcap Amendment and the funding of the Midcap Incremental Loan set forth in the Midcap Amendment (including the payment of any fees required as a condition to the Midcap Amendment or the funding of the Midcap Incremental Loan), or (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Series C Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter or on other terms that are in the aggregate not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Genezen (including with respect to conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter) so that such agreements are in effect no later than the Closing Date (collectively, with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Documents”) and (iv) negotiating and entering into the Midcap Amendment [***].  Any breach by Genezen of the Equity Commitment Letter, the other Financing Documents or the Midcap Amendment shall be deemed to be a breach by Genezen of this Section 7.02 .  Without limiting the foregoing, Genezen shall keep Seller informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Series C Financing and the Midcap Amendment and provide to Seller executed copies of the definitive documents related to the Series C Financing and the Midcap Amendment.

Genezen and Purchaser hereby grants Seller an exclusive right of first negotiation (the “Right of First Negotiation”) with respect to any proposed Facility Divestiture. Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of its intent to commence a Facility Divestiture (the “Negotiation Notice”). Unless Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that it is interested in acquiring the Facility within [***] ([***]) days of delivery of a Negotiation Notice, Purchaser shall be free to enter into such transaction or arrangement with any Third Party (the “Expiration”). If Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that it is interested in acquiring the Facility prior to the Expiration, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, in good faith, and on a non-exclusive basis, the terms of a Facility Divestiture between Seller and Purchaser for a period to expire on the date that is [***] ([***]) days after the delivery of the Negotiation Notice (a “Discussion Period”). After the end of the Discussion Period, if Seller and Purchaser

49


have not reached an agreement with respect to a Facility Divestiture, Purchaser shall be free to enter into a Facility Divestiture with any Third Party and Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall terminate in full in all respects (a “Failed Negotiation”) [***].

(c)Without limiting Sections 1.05 or Section 8.01 (b), Purchaser, Genezen, Seller, Seller Parent and their Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to transfer, obtain, or to cause to be transferred or obtained, prior to the Closing or, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, as soon as practicable thereafter, any Material Permit necessary for Purchaser to own or operate the Facility, the Acquired Assets and to assume to the Assumed Liabilities.  During the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing for a reasonable period not to exceed one year after the Closing: (i) each of Seller, Seller Parent, Genezen and Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided to each other Parties all commercially reasonable assistance as is reasonably requested in connection with securing (or terminating, if required by applicable Law) any such Permits, including (A) the filing of any required applications with any Governmental Entity, as may be necessary; and (B) with respect to Seller, Seller shall timely update the FDA establishment registrations and any other Permit to the extent necessary to reflect the change in ownership of the Facility in accordance with applicable Law; and (ii) if any Permits are not secured prior to the Closing, Seller, Seller Parent, Genezen and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith in any lawful and reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by any Party under which Purchaser shall obtain the benefit of Permits held by Seller or Seller Parent in connection with the ownership or operation of the Acquired Assets and the Facility following the Closing; provided that such assistance and cooperation shall not include: (i) any obligation to expend any money to any Third Party or Governmental Entity from whom such Permits are requested under this Section 8.01 (c); (ii) to commence, defend or participate in any litigation; or (iii) offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party.

(d)Subject to Section 1.05 , if any Party discovers, following the Closing Date, that any assets held by Seller or its Affiliates were assets (other than Excluded Assets) located at the Facility (if such assets are tangible assets) or that exclusively relate to the Facility, including any Contracts that are not set forth on Schedule 1.02(a)(ii), in each case as of the Closing, but were not transferred to Purchaser as part of the consummation of the transactions under Sections 1.01 and 1.02, then any such assets shall be deemed to have been held in trust by Seller or its Affiliates for Purchaser and Seller shall and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly transfer, assign and convey

52


such assets to Purchaser without any additional consideration therefor, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

(e)If any Party discovers, following the Closing, that any assets that have been transferred by Seller and/or Seller Parent to Purchaser are not Acquired Assets, then any such assets shall be deemed to have been held in trust by Purchaser for Seller and/or its applicable Affiliates and Purchaser and Genezen shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly transfer, assign and convey such assets to Seller and/or its designated Affiliates without any consideration therefor free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

(f)To facilitate the potential access to Requested Information contemplated by this Section 8.01  for a period of [***] years after the Closing Date, the Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to retain all Requested Information in their respective possession or control on the Closing Date in accordance with their respective policies as in effect on the Closing Date or such other policies as may be reasonably adopted by the appropriate Party after the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, such policies shall be deemed to apply to any Requested Information in a Party’s possession or control on the Closing Date relating to the other Parties.  No Party will, or permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, destroy any Requested Information that the other Party has the right to obtain pursuant to this Agreement prior to the [***] ([***]) anniversary of the Closing Date without first using its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other Party of the proposed destruction and giving the other Party the opportunity to take possession of such Requested Information prior to such destruction at such Party’s sole cost and expense.

SECTION 8.02  Publicity.  Other than the press release(s) mutually agreed by Purchaser and Seller to be issued following the execution of this Agreement or as expressly permitted by this Section 8.02 , none of Genezen, Purchaser, Seller or Seller Parent will issue or permit any of their respective Affiliates to issue any press release, website posting or other public announcement or filing with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law or the listing standards, agreements, rules or regulations of any stock exchange or other listing entity on which the securities of such Party or its Affiliates are listed (in which case whichever of Genezen, Purchaser or their Affiliates or Seller, Seller Parent or their Affiliates, as applicable, are required to make the release, statement or filing shall: (a) give the other Party (whether or not such other Party is named in such release or statement) such notice as may be practicable in the circumstances to allow the other Party to provide suggested comment on such release or statement in advance of such issuance; (b) consider in good faith any comments timely provided by such other Party to such release or statement; and (c) after such release or statement, provide the other Party with a copy thereof (or summary thereof in the case of oral statements)); provided, however, that Genezen, Purchaser and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller, Seller Parent and their Affiliates, on the other hand, may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Sections Section 5.03  and Section 8.05 ), make public announcements and engage in public communications regarding this Agreement, the Other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Other Transaction Documents, to the extent such announcements or communications are consistent with the prior public disclosures of the Parties regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement made in accordance with this Section 8.02 .  If

53


Genezen, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, or Seller, Seller Parent or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, based on the advice of its counsel, determines that this Agreement or any of the Other Transaction Documents must be publicly filed with a Governmental Entity, then such Party or its applicable Affiliate, prior to making any such filing, shall provide the other Party and its counsel with a redacted version of this Agreement (and any Other Transaction Document) that it intends to file, and will consider in good faith any comments provided by such other Party or its counsel and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the confidential treatment by such Governmental Entity or otherwise be held in the strictest confidence of those sections specified by such other Party or its counsel for redaction and confidentiality.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Party’s obligations under this Section 8.02  require it or its Affiliates to share comment letters from an applicable Governmental Entity with another Party to this Agreement; provided that the foregoing sentence shall not apply to portions of comment letters relating to any such requests for confidential treatment. Subject to Section 8.08, the requirements of this Section 8.02  shall not apply to any disclosure by Seller, Seller Parent, Genezen, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, of any information concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (w) in connection with the bona fide marketing and publicity of the Facility by Genezen and its Affiliates following the Closing to actual and potential customers and other business relations; provided such communication does not reference the terms of this Agreement or any of the Other Transaction Documents or any other information subject to an obligation of confidentiality, (x) in connection with any dispute between the Parties or their respective Affiliates; (y) to such Party’s (or any of its Affiliates’) legal, accounting or financial advisors to the extent reasonably necessary for such adviser to perform its legal, accounting or financial services, respectively, for such Party (or its Affiliates); or (z) to any of such Person’s Affiliates and their respective direct and indirect equity holders and limited partners, any bona fide actual or potential licensee, sublicensee or existing and potential investors, lenders and acquirers and the accountants, advisors and other professional representatives of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (w) and (z), any such recipient is bound by a written agreement providing for valid confidentiality obligations regarding the information disclosed.

SECTION 8.03  Commercially Reasonable Efforts.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the provisions set forth in Sections Section 1.05 ), each of Seller, Seller Parent, Purchaser and Genezen shall use its respectively commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all things necessary or appropriate to satisfy the conditions to the Closing and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  Purchaser or Genezen, on the one hand, and Seller and Seller Parent, on the other hand, shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, take any action that would, or that would reasonably be expected to, result in any of the conditions set forth in Article III not being satisfied.

SECTION 8.04  Tax Matters.

(a)Purchase Price Allocation.  Seller and Purchaser agree that, for purposes of Section 1060 of the Code, the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities, and any other relevant amounts shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets for U.S. Tax purposes based on the methodology set forth on Schedule 8.04.  Within [***] days after the Closing Date, [***] will provide [***] with a schedule allocating the Purchase Price, Assumed Liabilities, and any other relevant amounts among the Acquired Assets (the “Preliminary Allocation”).  The Preliminary

54


Allocation shall be final and binding on [***] and [***] unless [***] notifies [***] of objections to the Preliminary Allocation within [***] days of receipt thereof.  If [Seller] notifies [***] of objections to the Preliminary Allocation, [***] and [***] shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such disagreement.  If [***] and [***] are unable to resolve such disagreements within [***] days of [***]’s receipt of [***]’s notice of objection, then [***] and [***] shall hire an independent national accounting firm selected by [***] and reasonably acceptable to [***] (the “Accounting Firm”) in a manner consistent with the procedure described in Section 2.03(e) to (i) review only the matters that remain in dispute, (ii) make its determination in accordance with the requirements of this Section 8.04 , Schedule 8.04 and the Code and (iii) render its written decision as promptly as practicable but in no event later than [***] ([***]) days after submission to the Accounting Firm of all matters in dispute.  Seller and Purchaser agree that the Preliminary Allocation, as agreed to by Seller and Purchaser or as modified as a result of the resolution by the Accounting Firm (the “Allocation”) shall become final and binding on Seller and Purchaser.  Seller and Purchaser shall cause each of their respective Affiliates, (i) to report the U.S. Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Allocation and (ii) not to take any position inconsistent therewith for any U.S. Tax purposes (unless required by a change in applicable Tax Law or as a result of a good faith resolution of a contest).

(b)Cooperation in Tax Matters.  Each of Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns, reports and forms relating to Taxes, including maintaining and making available to each other all Records necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes.  Purchaser and Seller recognize that Seller and its Affiliates will need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax Records and information with respect to the Acquired Assets to the extent such Records and information pertain to events occurring prior to the Closing Date; therefore, Purchaser agrees, (a) to use their commercially reasonable efforts to properly retain and maintain such Records until such time as Seller notifies Purchaser that such retention and maintenance is no longer necessary (or, if sooner, seven years after the Closing Date), and (b) to allow Seller and its agents and representatives (and agents or representatives of any of its Affiliates), at times and dates mutually acceptable to the Parties, to, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, inspect, review and make copies of such Records as Seller may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate from time to time.

(c)Transfer Taxes.  All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be economically borne [***].  Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller in order for Seller to obtain any refund or credit of such Taxes.  Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in timely making all filings, Tax Returns, reports and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of such Tax Laws.

(d)Straddle Periods.  Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) payable with respect to a Straddle Period shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period (i) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real, personal and intangible property Taxes), on a daily pro rata basis, and (ii) in the case of other Taxes, as if the Tax period ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date.

55


SECTION 8.05  Recordation of Transfer of Acquired Assets.  Purchaser and Genezen shall be responsible, at their sole cost and expense, for all applicable recordations of the assignment of the Acquired Assets, including the Facility.

SECTION 8.06  Bulk Sales Waiver.  Purchaser and Genezen acknowledge that Seller and Seller Parent have not taken and do not intend to take any action required to comply with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer Laws or similar Laws of any jurisdiction.  Purchaser and Genezen hereby waive compliance by Seller and Seller Parent with any provisions of the bulks sales, bulk transfer or similar applicable Laws of any state or political subdivision in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such waiver shall not otherwise limit the rights of the Purchaser Indemnitees to indemnification under Section 10.01  and any tax liabilities arising from such waiver shall constitute Excluded Tax Liabilities.

SECTION 8.07  Confidentiality.

(a)Subject to Section 5.03 , if Purchaser and Genezen, on the one hand, or Seller and Seller Parent, on the other hand, receives Confidential Information of the other, such receiving Party or Parties will: (i) (A) maintain such Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care, but no less than reasonable care, with which it protects its own confidential information, and (B) except for press releases and other public announcements, including any public filing or disclosure, permitted by Section 8.02 , not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other Party; and (ii) not use such Confidential Information for any purpose except those permitted by this Agreement; provided that such Party may disclose such Confidential Information to (x) such Party’s (or any of its Affiliates’) legal, accounting or financial advisors to the extent reasonably necessary for such adviser to perform its legal, accounting or financial services, respectively, for such Party (or its Affiliates), or (y) its direct and indirect equity holders that are investment funds or such funds’ principals so that such Persons may provide information about the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to their respective limited partners, prospective limited partners and other business relations in connection with their marketing, fundraising, reporting and other Ordinary Course activities, provided in each case of (x) or (y) only to the extent such receiving Persons are bound by valid confidentiality obligations regarding the information disclosed.  As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information and materials received by Purchaser and Genezen, on the one hand, or Seller and Seller Parent, on the other hand, from the other Party or its Affiliates, whether prior to, on or after the date hereof in connection with this Agreement, the Other Transaction Documents, the Acquisition, and the other transactions contemplated hereby and by the Other Transaction Documents, or any discussions or negotiations with respect thereto.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Other Transaction Documents shall constitute Confidential Information of each Party.  The foregoing obligations and the other obligations set forth in this Section 8.07(a) shall not apply with respect to any portion of such Confidential Information that:

(i)is publicly disclosed by the disclosing Party, either before or after it becomes known to the receiving Party or Parties;

56


(ii)was known to the receiving Party or Parties or any or its Affiliates, without any obligation to keep it confidential, prior to when it was received from the disclosing Party;

(iii)is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party or Parties or any of its Affiliates by a Third Party that is lawfully in possession thereof without obligation to keep it confidential;

(iv)has been published by a Third Party or otherwise enters the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party or Parties or any of its Affiliates in breach of this Agreement; or

(v)can be shown to have been independently developed or acquired by the receiving Party or Parties or any of its Affiliates without the aid, application or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 8.07(a), the receiving Party or Parties may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by any Governmental Entity or otherwise as required by Law.  In the event the disclosure of any Confidential information is required under applicable securities Laws or the rules and regulations of each stock exchange or other listing entity upon which the securities of such Party or its Affiliates are listed, if any, such Party shall notify the other Parties promptly and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other Parties with a copy of the portion of the contemplated disclosure containing such other Parties’ Confidential Information prior to submission or release, as the case may be, and reasonably cooperate with such other Parties to seek confidential treatment or otherwise to be held in the strictest confidence such Confidential Information proposed to be so disclosed.  If the disclosure of such Confidential Information is otherwise required by a Governmental Entity or under other applicable Law, before disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 8.07(b), the receiving Party or Parties shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, provide the disclosing Party with prompt notice (and in any event no later than [***] ([***]) Business Days after receipt thereof) of any court order, subpoena or interrogatories that requires disclosure of the Confidential Information so that the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with this Agreement.  The receiving Party or Parties shall consult with the disclosing Party on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such request or requirement and shall otherwise cooperate with the efforts of the disclosing Party to protect the Confidential Information.  Further, in the event such disclosure is required by any Governmental Entity, the receiving Party or Parties shall (i) redact mutually agreed upon portions of the Confidential Information to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and (ii) submit a request to such Governmental Entity that such portions of the Confidential Information receive confidential treatment or otherwise be held in the strictest confidence to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Other Transaction Document contains provisions regarding the treatment of Confidential Information, then the confidentiality provisions of such Other Transaction Document shall govern the treatment of such Confidential Information.

57


(d)As of the Closing Date, all Confidential Information shall cease to constitute Confidential Information and shall be subject to the terms of Section 5.03 .

(e)The Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect until the Closing, at which point it shall automatically terminate.  If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 11.01 , the Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 8.08  Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation of Business Contacts.  In order to protect the value and goodwill of the Acquired Assets, the Facility and the Operations and as a material inducement to Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and purchase the Acquired Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities, and in order for Purchaser and Genezen to have and enjoy the full benefit of the Acquired Assets as so acquired, each of Seller and Seller Parent agrees that for a period of [***] ([***]) years after the Closing Date (such [***] ([***]) year period plus, and as extended by, any period in which Seller is not in compliance with the restrictions set forth herein, the “Restriction Period”), no such Party shall, directly or indirectly:

(a)engage in, undertake, participate in, or carry on a Competitive Business anywhere in [***]; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.08 shall prevent Seller, Seller Parent or any of their Affiliates from (1) owning as a passive investment the outstanding shares of the capital stock (or ownership interests) of a publicly held company or investment fund, if Seller or Seller Parent is not otherwise associated directly or indirectly with such company or any Affiliate of such company, (2) entering into any transactions with respect to the acquisition of, or merger or consolidation or similar transaction with or involving Seller or Seller Parent; (3) engaging a Competitive Business to provide manufacturing and/or development-related services to Seller and its Affiliates, or (4) partnering or collaborating with Third Parties regarding product development, manufacturing and/or distribution.

(b)solicit, encourage, induce, entice, or recruit, or attempt to solicit, encourage, induce, entice, or recruit, or prepare to do any of the foregoing with respect to, any customer, client, investor, vendor, supplier, distributor, licensor, licensee, business partner, or other business relation (including any Person who was or has been a customer, client, investor, vendor, supplier, distributor, business partner, or other business relation in connection with the Facility or the Operations at any time during the [***] ([***])-year period preceding the Closing Date) to alter, reduce, terminate, or refrain from entering, performing, or continuing its contractual or other business relationship concerning the Facility or the Operations (it being understood that the placement of general advertisements or general solicitations that are not targeted directly or indirectly toward any such Persons shall not, in and of themselves, be deemed to be a breach of this Section 8.08).

The Parties agree that the foregoing covenants in this Section 8.08 impose a reasonable restraint on Seller and Seller Parent in light of the activities and business of Purchaser on the date of the execution of this Agreement and the current plans of Purchaser.  The covenants in this Section 8.08 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant.  Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the Parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court

58


deems reasonable, and the Agreement shall thereby be reformed. All of the covenants in this Section 8.08 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Seller or Seller Parent against Genezen or Purchaser, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Purchaser of such covenants.  The Parties expressly acknowledge that the terms and conditions of this Section 8.08  are independent of the terms and conditions of any other agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement.  It is specifically agreed that the periods set forth in this Section 8.08  during which the agreements and covenants made in this Section 8.08  shall be effective, shall be computed by excluding from such computation any time during which the Person bound by such agreement or covenant is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been in violation of any provision of this Section 8.08 . The covenants contained in this Section 8.08 shall not be affected by any breach of any other provision hereof by any Party hereto. Each of the Parties hereto hereby agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 8.08 are a material and substantial part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are supported by adequate consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.08 shall restrict the activities of any Person (or any of its Affiliates) who enters into any transactions with respect to the acquisition of, or merger or consolidation or similar transaction with or involving Seller or Seller Parent and who prior to entering into or commencing such business combination transaction was not an Affiliate of Seller.

SECTION 8.09  Notification of Certain Events; Disclosure Schedule Updates.

(a)Purchaser and Genezen, on the one hand, and Seller and Seller Parent, on the other hand, shall promptly notify the other of (i) any notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Other Transaction Documents; (ii) any notice from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Other Transaction Documents; (iii) any inaccuracy in any material respect of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement of which such Party becomes aware; and (iv) any failure of such Party or such Party’s Affiliates to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder.  Furthermore, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser and Genezen of (x) any material loss of or material damage to the Acquired Assets, individually or in the aggregate, occurring prior to the Closing from fire, casualty or any other occurrence and (y) any alterations to the Facility occurring prior to the Closing.  The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 8.09(a) shall not limit or otherwise affect the rights or remedies available hereunder to Purchaser (including the provisions of Article X).

(b)Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller has delivered to Purchaser the Seller Disclosure Schedule and Purchaser has delivered to Seller the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule.  From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, the applicable Party may prepare and deliver to the other Party supplements and/or amendments to the Seller Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, relating to the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and Article VI with respect to matters, facts or circumstances that occurred subsequent to the date hereof (any such supplement and/or amendment being referred to as a “Disclosure Schedule Update”); provided, however, that (i) no Disclosure Schedule Update shall be deemed to add or remove any item from the definitions of

59


Excluded Assets, Assumed Liabilities or Excluded Liabilities without Purchaser’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (ii) the delivery of any such Disclosure Schedule Update relating to the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and Article VI shall be for informational purposes only and shall not qualify any representation or warranty for the purposes of the rights or remedies of the Parties available hereunder, including for purposes of ARTICLE III and ARTICLE X.

ARTICLE IX

Employee Matters

SECTION 9.01  Employment Transfers.

(a)Employment/Engagement Offers.  No later than [***] ([***]) days before the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause another Purchaser Employer to, make an offer of employment to each individual (each a “Site Offeree”) who, as of such date, is an In-Scope Employee (other than an In-Scope Employee absent due to short-term disability or parental leave (each, a “Leave Employee”) or long-term disability (each, a “Disabled Employee”)) or a Contingent Worker listed on Section 9.01(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, in accordance with Section 9.01 (a)(i).  For the avoidance of doubt, Site Offerees include In-Scope Employees who are actively at work as of the date such offer is made or are expected to be actively at work as of Closing, including those who are on vacation, holiday, sickness or other approved leave of absence (including family bonding leave and military leave) but excluding any Leave Employee or Disabled Employee.

(i)Except as provided on Section 9.01(a)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the offer shall provide that the employment of each such Site Offeree with a Purchaser Employer shall commence as of the Closing [***]. Seller and Purchaser shall take all commercially reasonable steps to assist the other Party or its applicable Affiliate(s), at the reasonable request of such other Party, with respect to the offer of employment and transition of employees contemplated by this Section 9.01. For the avoidance of doubt, the New Hire Documents signed by Site Offeree with Purchaser Employer shall supersede any offer letter, employment agreement, severance agreement or other compensation agreement between Seller (or any Affiliate) and the Site Offeree, except for any confidentiality, restrictive covenant or other ongoing obligation the Site Offeree may have to Seller, Purchaser or their Affiliates (the “Continuing Obligations”), which Continuing Obligations shall remain unaffected and in full effect.

(ii)Except as provided on Section 9.01(a)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Seller shall (subject to Section 9.01(a)(iii)) terminate the employment of each Site Offeree as of, and conditioned on the Closing.  Seller shall waive any notice requirements, post-termination restrictions or other contractual constraints that might prevent Site Offerees who accept employment with the Purchaser Employers from commencing employment with the Purchaser Employers following the Closing Date.

60


(iii)Purchaser shall, or shall cause another Purchaser Employer to, make an offer of employment to each Leave Employee at the same time as Site Offerees, and to each Disabled Employee who returns to active employment within [***] ([***]) days following the Closing Date (or such longer term as proscribed by applicable Law), consistent with the requirements of this Section 9.01; provided that each Disabled Employee shall have no less than [***] ([***]) days to decide to accept such offer of employment. Each Leave Employee and each Disabled Employee who receives and accepts such an offer shall be treated as Transferred Employee for all purposes herein and, except for purposes of Section 9.01(a), all references to the “Closing” and the “Closing Date” herein shall refer to the date of such Transferred Employee’s commencement of employment with a Purchaser Employer; provided that the terms of employment described in Sections 9.01(a)(i)(A) through (D) shall be commensurate with each such terms as in effect immediately prior to the date the Leave Employee or Disabled Employee went on leave.

(b)Visa, Work Permit, etc.  If any Transferred Employee requires a work visa or permit or an employment pass or other approval for his or her employment to continue with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, use commercially reasonable efforts to secure prior to the Closing Date the necessary visa, permit, pass or other approval in a timely manner consistent with the terms of this Section 9.01 and shall be solely responsible for any expenses related thereto.

(c)Transition.  Seller and Purchaser intend that, for purposes of any severance or termination benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement with Seller or Seller Parent and any statutory termination indemnity, notice requirement or statutory severance under applicable Law, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not constitute a severance of employment of any Transferred Employee.  The Parties shall cooperate to make commercially reasonable efforts to take all appropriate steps to realize the intent of this Section 9.01(c).  Purchaser and Seller shall each take all commercially reasonable steps to assist the other Party, at the reasonable request of the such Party, with respect to the transition of the Transferred Employees as contemplated by this Section 9.01 , including informing the In-Scope Employees about the expected roles of the In-Scope Employees with the applicable Purchaser Employer, the terms and conditions of employment that are expected to apply to them and the employment transition process.

SECTION 9.02  Covenants.

(a)Continuation Period.  During the [***] ([***]) months following Closing (or, if earlier, through the termination of the Transferred Employee’s employment with Purchaser and applicable Purchaser Employer) (the “Continuation Period”), with respect to each Transferred Employee, Purchaser shall, or shall cause an applicable Purchaser Employer to, provide and maintain terms and conditions of employment consistent with clauses (A) through (E) of Section 9.01(a)(i) above.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause an applicable Purchaser Employer to, provide and maintain for Transferred Employees during the Continuation Period: defined contribution plan, medical, dental, short term disability, long term disability, life insurance accident insurance benefits and severance benefits (in accordance with

61


Section 9.01(a)(i)-2 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule) under Purchaser Benefit Plans.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement requires Purchaser or any other Purchaser Employer to continue to employ any Transferred Employee or maintain any particular employee benefit plan or infringes upon the right of Purchaser and the other Purchaser Employers to amend or terminate all employee benefit plans.

(b)Vacation and Holiday.  To the extent required under applicable Law, Contract or Seller policy, Seller shall, or shall cause an Affiliate to, pay Transferred Employees for any accrued and unused vacation or other paid time off as of the Closing Date.  [***].

(c)Service Credit.  Each Transferred Employee will receive credit for years of service with Seller, Seller Parent, or any of their Affiliates under the compensation and benefit plans of the Purchaser Employers for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, rate of vacation accrual, rate of contributions under Purchaser Employers’ defined contribution retirement plans, and determining eligibility for, and amount of, severance benefits and termination indemnities, to the extent such recognition of credit does not result in duplication of benefits; provided that, in any case, service shall be credited to the extent required by applicable Law.  Purchaser will, and will cause any Purchaser Employer to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, to the extent practicable, any and all pre-existing condition limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements to be waived under the Purchaser Benefit Plans for Transferred Employees to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such individuals under the corresponding Seller Benefit Plan prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any group health plans, will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide credit to the Transferred Employees under such Purchaser Benefit Plans for any co-payments and deductibles made prior to the Closing Date in a corresponding Seller Benefit Plan in satisfying any deductible requirement, out-of-pocket maximum or similar terms under any of the Purchaser Benefit Plans.

(d)Bonuses.  For each Transferred Employee who participated in an annual incentive compensation arrangement of Seller or one of its Affiliates (each, a “Seller Bonus Arrangement”) as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, pay such Transferred Employee a bonus for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs that will be based on the Transferred Employee’s target bonus amount under the applicable Seller Bonus Arrangement, as set forth on Section 9.02(d) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Target Bonus”) [***].  Purchaser or another Purchaser Employer shall pay such bonus no later than March 15 following the year in which the Closing occurs, subject to such Transferred Employee’s continued employment with Purchaser and its Affiliates on the applicable payment date. Purchaser shall send an invoice to Seller for the Seller Bonus Amount promptly following the approval of calendar year 2024 annual bonuses by Genezen’s Board of Directors [***].

SECTION 9.03  Benefit Plans.

(a)Health and Welfare and Workers’ Compensation Claims.  Seller and its Affiliates shall retain all Liabilities for all medical, dental, vision, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment, and prescription drug claims incurred by the In-Scope Employees or their eligible dependents prior to the Closing Date and all workers’ compensation claims incurred by the In-Scope Employees prior to the Closing Date under the terms of any workers’ compensation program of Seller or its Affiliates with respect to the In-Scope Employees.  Purchaser or its

62


Affiliates shall be responsible for all medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment, and prescription drug claims incurred by the Transferred Employees (or their eligible dependents) under employee benefit plans of any Purchaser Employer (to the extent the Transferred Employee elects such coverage) on or after the Closing Date and all workers’ compensation claims under the terms of any workers’ compensation program of Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to the Transferred Employees incurred on or after the Closing Date. For these purposes, a claim shall be deemed to be incurred: (i) in the case of workers’ compensation, at the time of the injury, sickness or other event giving rise to the claim for such benefits; (ii) in the case of medical, prescription drug, dental or vision benefits, at the time professional services, equipment or prescription drugs covered by the applicable plan are obtained; (iii) in the case of life insurance benefits, upon death; and (iv) in the case of accidental death and dismemberment benefits, at the time of the accident.  This Section 9.03(a) shall apply without limitation of Section 1.03 (a)(viii) or Section 1.03 (b)(v).

(b)COBRA.  Other than with respect to qualifying events that occur on or prior to the Closing under a group health plan of Seller and its Affiliates, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for compliance with all obligations under COBRA with respect to all Transferred Employees and all dependents of the Transferred Employees (collectively, the “Transferred Employee COBRA Liabilities”).

(c)401(k) Plan Matters.

(i)401(k) Plan Coverage.  Without limiting the generality of Section 9.03(a), effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser or its Affiliate shall have in place a defined contribution plan covering Transferred Employees that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code intended to be qualified pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”). Each Transferred Employee who participates in a defined contribution plan of Seller or an Affiliate that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code intended to be qualified pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) shall be eligible to become a participant in the Purchaser 401(k) Plan as of, or as soon as practicable after, the Closing Date, and each Transferred Employee who would become eligible to participate in the Seller 401(k) Plan during the Continuation Period if they remained employed by Seller or Seller Parent (pursuant to its terms in effect immediately prior to the Closing) shall be eligible to participate in the Purchaser 401(k) Plan no later than such date.

(ii)Plan Rollovers.  The Purchaser 401(k) Plan shall accept rollover contributions by Transferred Employees from the Seller 401(k) Plan, but excluding any loans under the Seller 401(k) Plan.

SECTION 9.04  Non-Solicitation.  To the extent permitted under applicable Law, for a period of [***] ([***]) months following the Closing Date, (i) without the prior written consent of Purchaser, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall directly or indirectly knowingly employ or solicit any Transferred Employee or any other individual who was, immediately prior to the Closing Date, an In-Scope Employee (other than any individual who ceases to be employed

63


by a Purchaser Employer due to an involuntary termination or redundancy), unless such individual contacts Seller or any of its Affiliates independently and on his or her own initiative in response to a general recruitment advertisement issued by Seller or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) without the prior written consent of Seller, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall directly or indirectly knowingly employ or solicit (A) any non-In-Scope Employee employed by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller following the Closing Date who is providing services related to the Acquired Assets or the transition of the Acquired Assets or (B) any individual set forth on Schedule 9.04 (other than, in each case, any individual who ceases to be employed by Seller or its Affiliate due to an involuntary termination or redundancy).  If Purchaser or its Affiliates employs any individual listed on Schedule 9.04-2, who terminates employment with Seller and its Affiliates, during the [***] ([***]) month period following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall immediately notify Seller of such employment and shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the severance payments and benefits (plus the employer portion of payroll taxes with respect thereto) paid or provided by Seller or an Affiliate in connection with such individual’s termination.

SECTION 9.05  Cooperation.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to applicable Law and confidentiality obligations, to provide Purchaser in a timely manner with information and documents relating to the Seller Benefit Plans (including service crediting), and such other HR-related information as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser to facilitate Purchaser’s efforts to provide corresponding employee benefits and employment terms to the Transferred Employees.  Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other in providing access to relevant data reasonably necessary to administer the benefits of the Transferred Employees under any Seller Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees are eligible to participate.

SECTION 9.06  Effect of Article IX.  Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be construed to amend, modify, establish, or terminate any Seller Benefit Plan, Purchaser Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, arrangement or agreement, and no employee benefit plan shall be amended absent a separate written amendment that complies with such plan’s amendment procedures.  Without limiting the generality of Section 12.02 , nothing in this Article IX is intended or shall be construed to (i) entitle any person other than the Parties and their respective transferees and permitted assigns to any claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind, or (ii) entitle any Transferred Employee to continued employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

ARTICLE X

SECTION 10.01  Indemnification by Seller and Seller Parent.

(a)Subject to the provisions of this Article X, from and after the Closing, Seller and Seller Parent shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Genezen, Purchaser and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, successors, assigns, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against and hold them harmless from any claim, loss, liability, cost, damage, deficiency, assessment, fine, judgment, fee, cost or

64


expense (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by any such Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent arising from, or relating to:

(i)any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or Seller Parent contained in Article IV (without giving effect to any “material,” “materially,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or similar qualification or standard contained in any such representation or warranty, except for the representation contained in Section 4.19(a));

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller and Seller Parent are obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.01 (a)(i) (other than for any breach of a Seller Fundamental Representation or in the case of Fraud) exceed an amount equal to $[***] (the “Cap”); and (ii) except in the case of Fraud, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller or Seller Parent is obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to breaches of Seller Fundamental Representations exceed an amount equal to [***].

SECTION 10.02  Indemnification by Purchaser and Genezen.

(a)From and after the Closing, Purchaser and Genezen shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Seller, Seller Parent and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, successors, heirs, assigns, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against and hold them harmless from any Loss suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party to the extent arising from, or relating to:

(i)any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser or Genezen contained in Article VI (without giving effect to any “material,” “materially,” “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualification or standard contained in any such representation or warranty);

(ii)any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser or Genezen contained in this Agreement; and

(iii)any Assumed Liability.

65


(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Purchaser and Genezen shall not be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnitee and Purchaser and Genezen shall not have any liability under Section 10.02 (a)(i) unless the individual item or group of related items relating to the Loss is in excess of $[***] and the aggregate of all Losses for which Purchaser or Genezen would be liable, but for this clause (i), exceeds on a cumulative basis the Deductible, after which all such Losses shall be recoverable from the first dollar; provided, however, that the Deductible shall not apply to any breach of a Purchaser Fundamental Representation; (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Purchaser or Genezen is obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.02 (a)(i) (other than for any breach of a Purchaser Fundamental Representation or in the case of Fraud) exceed the Cap; and (iii) except in the cause of Fraud, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Purchaser or Genezen is obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees pursuant to breaches of Purchaser Fundamental Representations exceed an amount equal to [***].

SECTION 10.03  Acknowledgment of Other Indemnities.  All indemnities relating to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in the Other Transaction Documents shall be governed exclusively by the terms of the applicable Other Transaction Document, except for the Transfer Documents.  Any other indemnification with respect to Losses arising from or relating to the Acquired Assets or this Agreement shall solely be pursuant to this Article X.

SECTION 10.04  Limitations on Liability; Cooperation.

(a)NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION HEREIN, EACH OF SELLER AND SELLER PARENT, ON THE ONE HAND, AND GENEZEN AND PURCHASER, ON THE OTHER HAND, SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO EACH OTHER OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (UNLESS REASONABLY FORESEEABLE), SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER, OR FOR LOST PROFITS (OR LOSS OF USE, DAMAGE TO GOODWILL OR LOSS OF BUSINESS) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 10.05 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT TO DAMAGES AWARDED TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMANTS (OTHER THAN A PURCHASER INDEMNITEE OR SELLER INDEMNITEE) IN THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER THIS ARTICLE X.

(b)Subject to the procedures set forth in Section 10.07  and Section 10.08 , Purchaser and Genezen, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall cooperate with the other in good faith with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which a Party is obligated to indemnify the other Party hereunder.  Nothing in this Article X shall act to negate any obligation under common law of Seller, Seller Parent, Genezen or Purchaser to mitigate damages with respect to any claim for which such Party is being indemnified against by the other Party hereunder.  Any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by an indemnified party in connection with such obligations to mitigate damages shall nevertheless be indemnifiable under this Article X, subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this Article X.

66


(c)Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that, should the Closing occur, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, the Acquisition, any document, certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities (other than (i) as provided in Section 12.11  and (ii) claims of, or causes of action arising from Fraud) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X (including those referenced under Section 10.02 (b)).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, Fraud) it or any of its Affiliates may have against the other Party and its Affiliates arising under or based upon this Agreement, the Acquisition, any document, certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities (except (i) pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X (including those referenced under Section 10.02 (b)) and (ii) as provided in Section 12.11 ).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.04 (c) shall be deemed to limit or waive in any manner the rights of the Parties under the Other Transaction Documents, other than the Transfer Documents; provided, however, that if any Loss is eligible for indemnification under this Agreement and/or under any Other Transaction Document, in no event will the Party claiming indemnification make a separate claim and recover for the same Loss under both this Agreement and such Other Transaction Document.

SECTION 10.05  Indemnity Net; Losses Net of Insurance, etc.

(a)For the purposes of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X, any Losses or amounts otherwise payable hereunder shall be determined on the basis of the net effect after giving effect to any actual cash payments, setoffs or recoupment or any payments in each case actually received, realized or retained by the indemnified party (including any amounts recovered or recoverable by the indemnified party under insurance policies, but excluding self-insurance arrangements) as a result of any event giving rise to a claim for such indemnification.

(b)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, after the Closing, in any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee actually recovers, under insurance policies or from any other person alleged to be responsible for indemnifiable Losses, any amount in respect of a matter for which such indemnitee was indemnified pursuant to Section 10.01  or Section 10.02 , such indemnitee shall promptly pay over to the indemnifying party the amount so recovered, but not in excess of the amount received by such indemnitee (net of any Taxes, previously unpaid or unreimbursed expenses, deductible, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees, and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of recovery incurred in collecting such amounts and, if applicable, any increases in insurance premiums that are proximately caused by such recovery).

SECTION 10.06  Termination of Indemnification.  If the Closing shall have occurred, all covenants, agreements, warranties and representations made herein shall survive the Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, and all indemnification obligations under Section 10.01 (a)(i) and Section

67


10.01 (a)(ii) and Section 10.02 (a)(i) and Section 10.02 (a)(ii) with respect to any such covenants or agreements or representations or warranties, shall:

(a)in the case of any such representations or warranties, terminate and expire on the date that is [***] following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Seller Fundamental Representations and the Purchaser Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing and continue in effect until [***] ([***]) days following the later of (i) the [***] ([***]) anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the underlying subject matter thereof; and

(b)in the case of any such covenants or agreements, terminate and expire on the Closing Date (other than such covenants or agreements to the extent requiring any post-Closing performance or compliance from any of the Parties, which shall survive the Closing to the extent provided in their respective terms);

provided, however, that as to clause (a) and (b) of this Section 10.06 such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any matter as to which the person to be indemnified or the related party thereto shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the indemnifying party (but only with respect to matters described in such notice) so long as such claim for indemnification has not been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in this ‎Article X.

SECTION 10.07  Procedures Relating to Indemnification for Third-Party Claims.

(a)A Party believing that it is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.01 or Section 10.02 (an “indemnified party”) shall give prompt written notification to the other Party (the “indemnifying party”) of the commencement of any claim, action, lawsuit or other proceeding for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim, action, lawsuit or other proceeding by any Person other than a Party or its Affiliate(s) against the indemnified party (a “Third-Party Claim”) (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an indemnified party to give notice of a Third-Party Claim as provided in this Section 10.07 (a) shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice).

(b)Within [***] ([***]) days after delivery of such notification, the indemnifying party may, upon written notice thereof to the indemnified party with which the indemnifying party agrees in writing that it is obligated under this Article X (but without any requirement to admit liability for such Third-Party Claim) to, subject to the other applicable provisions in this Article X, fully indemnify the indemnified party against such Third-Party Claim subject to the Cap and other limitations as set forth herein, assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that an indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim if: (i) such Third-Party Claim could reasonably be expected to result in criminal liability of, or equitable remedies against, the indemnified party; (ii) the indemnified party reasonably believes, based on advice of counsel, that the interests of the indemnifying party and

68


the indemnified party with respect to such Third-Party Claim are in conflict with one another, and as a result, the indemnifying party would not reasonably expect to adequately represent the interests of the indemnified party in such Third-Party Claim; (iii) the Third-Party Claim is brought by a customer or other business relation of the indemnified party or otherwise concerns the business practices or relationships of the indemnifying party, or (iv) the amount of the Third-Party Claim, if determined in the claimant’s favor, would reasonably be expected to result in Losses, together with all other unresolved claims for indemnification by the indemnified parties, that exceed the amount of recovery such indemnified party would be entitled to recover from Seller under this Article X to the extent due to the applicable numerical liability limitations set forth in Section 10.01 (b); provided, further, that an indemnifying party shall relinquish control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim if such indemnifying party is not using commercially reasonable efforts to actively and diligently defending such Third-Party Claim.  If the indemnifying party believes that a Third-Party Claim presented to it for indemnification is one as to which the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification under this Article X, it shall so notify the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense thereof.  The failure of the indemnifying party to respond in writing to the notice of a Third-Party Claim within [***] ([***]) days after receipt thereof shall be deemed an election not to assume control of the defense of the same.  If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party; provided that if the indemnified party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the indemnifying party and the indemnified party have conflicting interests with respect to such Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party solely in connection therewith.  In the event, however, that the indemnifying party declines or fails to assume, or is not permitted to assume, the defense of such Third-Party Claim on the terms provided above or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in each case within such [***]-day period, then the indemnified party may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any such Third-Party Claim, and the indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by indemnified party as incurred.

(c)In the event the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, for so long as the indemnifying party its entitled to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim: (i) the indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party reasonably advised of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the indemnified party with respect thereto; and (ii) the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, promptly after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third-Party Claim; provided however, in no event shall the indemnified party be required to deliver to the indemnifying party any notice or documents that would result in a waiver of attorney-client or other applicable evidentiary privilege; provided, further that such indemnifying party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable the delivery of such notice or documents (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege or other applicable evidentiary privilege.

(d)If the indemnifying party so elects to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim, all of the indemnified parties shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense or prosecution thereof.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the

69


indemnifying party’s reasonable request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and the indemnified parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to make their employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(e)Whether or not the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnified party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge such Third-Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not agree to any compromise, discharge or settlement of such Third-Party Claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof, in each case without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless (i) such compromise, discharge, or settlement provides for a complete and unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability with respect thereto and does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the indemnified party or any of its officers, directors, managers, employees, agents or representatives, and (ii) the sole relief provided in connection therewith is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party.

SECTION 10.08  Procedures Related to Indemnification for Other Claims.  In the event any indemnified party should have a claim against any indemnifying party under Section 10.01 or 10.02 that does not involve a Third-Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such indemnified party, the indemnified party shall deliver notice of such claim to the indemnifying party promptly after obtaining knowledge of such claim.  The failure by any indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under Section 10.01  or 10.02, except and only to the extent that such indemnifying party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.  If the indemnifying party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute may be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.09  Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Tax Claims.

(a)If Genezen or Purchaser receives written notice of a claim by any taxing authority, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to Genezen, Purchaser, one of their Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents or representatives pursuant to Section 10.01 (a “Tax Claim”), Genezen or Purchaser shall, within [***] ([***]) days of receipt of such notice, notify Seller and Seller Parent in writing of such Tax Claim in reasonable detail to apprise Seller of the nature of the Tax Claim.

(b)Purchaser shall control all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Claim; provided, however, (i) Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed of the progress of such Tax Claim, (ii) Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall be permitted to fully participate in the defense of such Tax Claim, (iii) Purchaser shall diligently prosecute such Tax Claim in good faith, and (iv) that Purchaser shall not settle any claim for Taxes relating to such proceedings

70


without Seller’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) to the extent any such settlement would adversely affect Seller or any of its Affiliates or oblige it to make any indemnification payments for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

SECTION 10.10  Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Laws.

ARTICLE XI

(e)Seller or Purchaser, if the Closing does not occur on or prior to September 27, 2024 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01 (e) shall not be available to a Party that is in breach in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; or

(f)either Party if any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent Governmental Entity shall have issued a statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(f) shall not be available to a Party that is in

71


breach in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

SECTION 11.02  Consequences of Termination.  In the event of termination by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to this Article XI, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated, without further action by either Party.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Article XI, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force or effect, except for the provisions of (a) Section 8.07 relating to the obligation of Seller Parent, Seller, Purchaser and Genezen to keep confidential certain information and data obtained by it, (b) Section 8.03 relating to publicity, (c) this Article XI, and (d) Section 12.03 relating to certain expenses.  Nothing in this Article XI shall be deemed to release either Party from any liability for any willful and material breach by such Party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to such termination or to impair the right of either Party to compel specific performance by the other Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 11.03  Attorneys’ Fees Reimbursement.

SECTION 12.08  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile, by PDF or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.09  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter.

SECTION 12.10  Severability.  If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any applicable Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 12.11  Enforcement.  The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur and that the Parties may not have any adequate remedy at law if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware situated in New Castle County and any State of Delaware appellate court therefrom (or, but only to the extent the Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), this being in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law or in equity.  The Seller and Seller Parent

90


and their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, managers, members or stockholders shall not have any rights or claims against MidCap Financial Trust or any agent or lender party to the MidCap Amendment or MidCap Credit Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (each a “Debt Financing Party,” and collectively, the “Debt Financing Parties”) in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the performance of any financing commitments of such Debt Financing Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

SECTION 12.12  Consent to Jurisdiction.  Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or if such court does not have jurisdiction, (b) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the Other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such suit, action or other proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, in such Federal court.  Each Party agrees to commence any such action, suit or proceeding either in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County.  Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in New York with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 12.12.  Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the Other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any court referred to in the first sentence of this Section 12.12(a) and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 12.13  Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each Party hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the Other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby.  Each Party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other Parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Other Transaction Documents, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 12.13.

SECTION 12.14  Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER AT LAW, IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE) THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE

91


INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (INCLUDING ITS STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS) APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.

SECTION 12.15  Seller Non-Reliance.  Each of Seller and Seller Parent acknowledges that, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, and properties of Genezen and its Affiliates, and has relied on the results of its own independent investigation and the representations and warranties expressly and specifically set forth in Article VI and the Other Transaction Documents.  Such representations and warranties by Purchaser and Genezen expressly and specifically set forth in Article VI and the Other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of or regarding Purchaser, Genezen and its Affiliates to Seller and Seller Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Seller and Seller Parent each understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including in respect of any of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of Purchaser, Genezen or its Affiliates or in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any information related thereto furnished or made available to Seller, Genezen and their representatives) are specifically disclaimed by Seller and Seller Parent.  Seller and Seller Parent each hereby acknowledges it has had such opportunity to seek accounting, legal, tax or other advice or information in connection with its entry into this Agreement and the other documents referred to herein relating to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as it has seen fit.

SECTION 12.16  Purchaser Non-Reliance.  Each of Purchaser and Genezen acknowledges that, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation of the Facility, the Operations, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Assets and the Excluded Liabilities, and has relied on the results of its own independent investigation and the representations and warranties expressly and specifically set forth in Article IV and the Other Transaction Documents.  Such representations and warranties by Seller and Seller Parent expressly and specifically set forth in Article IV and the Other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of or regarding Seller, Seller Parent, their Affiliates, the Facility, the Operations, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Assets and the Excluded Liabilities to Purchaser and Genezen in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Purchaser and Genezen each understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including in respect of Seller, Seller Parent and their Affiliates, the Facility, the Operations, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities, or the accuracy or completeness of any information related thereto furnished or made available to Purchaser and Genezen and their representatives) are specifically disclaimed by Purchaser and Genezen.  Purchaser and Genezen each hereby acknowledges it has had such opportunity to seek accounting, legal, tax or other advice or information in connection with its entry into this Agreement and the other documents referred to herein relating to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as it has seen fit.

92


SECTION 12.17  Waiver and Release.  Effective as of the Closing, each of Seller and Seller Parent, for itself and each of its Affiliates and its and their respective former, current and future directors, officers, employees, general and limited partners, managers, members, direct and indirect equityholders, controlling persons, Affiliates, attorneys, assignees, agents, advisors, and representatives, and representatives and Affiliates of any of the foregoing, and any former, current or future estates, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Seller Releasor”), hereby irrevocably, knowingly and voluntarily releases, discharges and forever waives and relinquishes all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, defenses, affirmative defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, actions and causes of action of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which any Seller Releasor has, may have, or might have or may assert now or in the future, against any of Purchaser, Genezen or their respective Affiliates (other than another Seller Releasor) or any of its or their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, managers, members, direct or indirect equityholders, controlling persons, affiliates, attorneys, assignees, agents, advisors, or representatives, or representatives or Affiliates of any of the foregoing, or any former, current or future estates, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Seller Releasee”) arising out of, based upon or resulting from any Contract, transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown, and which occurred, existed or was taken or permitted at or prior to the Closing; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 12.17  shall release, waive, discharge, relinquish or otherwise affect any claim for Fraud or the rights or obligations of any Person under this Agreement or any Transaction Document.  Seller and Seller Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries to, refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced any legal proceeding of any kind against a Seller Releasee based upon any matter released pursuant to this Section 12.17 .  Each Seller Releasee to whom this Section 12.17  applies shall be a Third Party beneficiary of this Section 12.17 .
