(a) In furtherance of the sale of the Purchased Assets and the Business to Buyer hereunder by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby and more effectively to protect the value and goodwill of the Purchased Assets and the Business so sold, Seller covenants and agrees that, for a period ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will:

(i) directly or indirectly (whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, partner or otherwise) own, manage, operate, control, participate in, perform services for, sell materials to, or otherwise carry on, a business similar to or competitive with the Business as conducted at the Closing Date (including developing, marketing, licensing, selling or distributing any extended release cyclobenzaprine product) anywhere in the Territory (it being understood by the parties hereto that the Business is not limited to any particular region of the Territory and that the Business may be engaged in effectively from any location in the Territory); or

(ii) induce or attempt to persuade any distributor, agent, supplier or customer of the Business to terminate such distributor, agency or business relationship in order to enter into any such relationship on behalf of any other business organization in competition with the Business;

provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 8.14 shall prohibit Seller or its Affiliates from owning not in excess of 5% in the aggregate of any class of capital stock of any corporation if such stock is publicly traded and listed on any national or regional stock exchange.

(b) If Seller or any Affiliate of Seller violates any of its obligations under this Section 8.14, Buyer may proceed against it in law or in equity for such damages or other relief as a court may deem appropriate. Seller acknowledges that a violation of this Section 8.14 may cause Buyer irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages. Seller therefore agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 8.14, Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that it may have, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and final injunctive relief against Seller or such Affiliate of Seller to prevent any violations of this Section 8.14, without the necessity of posting a bond. The prevailing party in any action commenced under this Section 8.14 shall also be entitled to receive reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that if, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce this Section 8.14, any term, restriction, covenant or promise in this Section 8.14 is found to be unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency.

Section 8.15 ACQUISITION PROPOSALS.

Seller will not, and will not authorize or permit any officer, director or employee of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller or authorize any investment banker, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller to, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage, or furnish information with respect to any portion of the Purchased Assets or the Business or engage in any discussions with any Person in connection with, any proposal for the acquisition of any portion of the Purchased Assets or the Business, other than as contemplated by this Agreement.

(B) the Indemnified Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), pay, compromise or settle any such Third Party Claim, except that no such consent shall be required if, following a written request from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall fail, within 14 days after the making of such request, to acknowledge and agree in writing that, if such Third Party Claim shall be adversely determined, such Indemnifying Party has an obligation to provide indemnification hereunder to such Indemnified Party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim without such consent, provided, that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder unless such consent is unreasonably withheld.

(ii) If any Third Party Claim against any Indemnified Party is solely for money damages or, where Seller is the Indemnifying Party, will have no continuing effect in any material respect on the Business or the Purchased Assets, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or

settlement of any such Third Party Claim as to which indemnification will be sought by an Indemnified Party from an Indemnifying Party hereunder if the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged and agreed in writing that, if the same is adversely determined, the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party in respect thereof, and in any such case the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim, provided, that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder unless the Indemnified Party shall have sought the consent of the Indemnifying Party to such payment, settlement or compromise and such consent was unreasonably withheld, in which event no claim for indemnity therefor hereunder shall be waived.

Section 11.03 LIMITATIONS.

(a) (i) Notwithstanding Section 11.02(a), Seller will not be required to indemnify Buyer pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 11.02(a) for Damages that exceed a maximum aggregate liability of $17,500,000; provided, that such limitation shall not apply to the Damages in connection with any indemnification claims arising out of a breach of Seller’s representations and warranties in Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.11(a) and 6.12.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 11.02(b), Buyer will not be required to indemnify Seller pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 11.02(b) for Damages that exceed a maximum aggregate liability of $17,500,000; provided, that such limitation shall not apply to the Damages in connection with any indemnification claims arising out of a breach of Buyer’s representations and warranties in Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03 and 7.06.

(b) The amount of any Damages under Section 11.02(a) or Section 11.02(b), as the case may be, shall be reduced by the net amount of any insurance proceeds paid to the Indemnified Party relating to such claim, after upward adjustment for any insurance proceeds repayment obligations owed as a result of receipt of such indemnification and any increase in premiums resulting from the payment of such insurance proceeds.

(c) THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL NOT EXTEND TO SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES RESULT FROM A THIRD PARTY CLAIM; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THIS EXCLUSION IS NOT INTENDED TO, NOR SHALL, EXCLUDE ACTUAL OR COMPENSATORY DAMAGES OF THE AFFECTED PARTY, INCLUDING SUCH DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A THIRD PARTY CLAIM.

Section 11.04 REMEDIES EXCLUSIVE.

Except with respect to claims based on fraud, claims for equitable relief, remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of law and injunctive and provisional relief (including specific performance), from and after the Closing, the remedies set forth in this Article XI shall be exclusive and in lieu of any other remedies that may be available to the parties pursuant to any statutory or common law with respect to any Damages of any kind or nature incurred directly or indirectly resulting from or arising out of any breach of this Agreement (including alleged breaches or inaccuracies of any representation, warranty or covenant or for any alleged misrepresentation) or the transactions contemplated hereby.

If any Damages for which any Buyer Group Member is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article XI are not satisfied by set-off against the Net Sales Milestone Payments, such indemnification payment shall be made by Seller in cash.

Section 11.06 ADJUSTMENT TO PURCHASE PRICE.

Buyer and Seller each agrees to report each indemnification payment hereunder as an adjustment to the purchase price being paid for the Purchased Assets for federal income Tax purposes unless the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that such reporting position is incorrect (it being understood that if any reporting position is later disallowed in any administrative or court proceedings, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for the effects of such disallowance, and it being further understood that the obligations under this parenthetical clause shall remain in effect without limitation as to time).
