     Section 2.05 Assumption of Liabilities .

     (a)  Assumption . Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, Purchaser shall assume from Aradigm, and Aradigm shall irrevocably convey, transfer and assign to Purchaser, all of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in Section 2.05(b) hereof).

     (b)  Definition of Assumed Liabilities . For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the term “ Assumed Liabilities ” shall mean, refer to and include only those liabilities listed on Exhibit F .

     (c)  Definition of Excluded Liabilities . Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser does not assume and is not assuming any debt, liability, duty or other obligation (of any kind) of Aradigm, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, and regardless of when such liabilities or obligations may arise or may have arisen or when asserted, including any liabilities, or obligations related to the Assigned Assets which are outstanding or unpaid as of the Closing (the “ Excluded Liabilities ”), and Aradigm shall remain responsible for the Excluded Liabilities.

     Section 2.06 Consideration . On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, in addition to the payments contemplated by Section 2.07(a), the consideration for the Assigned Assets shall be the following:

               (1) For each Non-Sumatriptan Product, [****] percent ([****]%) of Net Sales of such Non-Sumatriptan Product, provided that in the event and to the extent such Non-Sumatriptan Product is commercialized by a Licensee Purchaser may at its election pay to Aradigm either [****] percent ([****]%) of such Licensee’s Net Sales of such Non-Sumatriptan Product or [****] percent ([****]%) of Purchaser’s Royalty Revenues from such Licensee in respect of such Non-Sumatriptan Product. Purchaser shall make its election with respect to each such Non-Sumatriptan Product by written notice to Aradigm of its election on or before the date its first payment would be due under Section 2.06(a)(vi) in respect of such Non-Sumatriptan Product under either of the foregoing alternatives.

[ **** ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

7.


 

          (ii)  Combination Products . In the event that a Product is sold in the form of a combination product (a “ Combination Product ”) containing both (1) such Product and (2) another product or service for which no royalty would be due hereunder if sold separately, the Net Sales from such combination sales for purposes of calculating the amounts due under this Section 2.06(a) shall be calculated by multiplying Net Sales of the Combination Product by a fraction that reasonably reflects the fair value of the contribution of the Product in the Combination Product to the total market value of such Combination Product, which fraction shall be established by the Purchaser and Aradigm through good faith negotiations and mutual agreement, on a Combination Product-by-Combination Product basis.

          (iii)  Single Royalty . Only one royalty shall be paid with respect to each unit of Product that is subject to royalties under this Section 2.06(a), without regard to the number of transfers or otherwise. In no event shall more than one royalty be due under this Section 2.06(a) with respect to any Product unit.

          (iv)  Milestone Payment . Purchaser shall pay Aradigm $[****] within 30 days of the first U.S. commercial sale of the Sumatriptan Product.

          (v)  Records . During the term of this Agreement and for a period of three years thereafter, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall keep, and shall cause its licensees and sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records of their Net Sales in sufficient detail to enable the amounts payable under this Section 2.06(a) to be determined. Upon Aradigm’s written request, but not more frequently than once per calendar year, Purchaser shall permit representatives or agents of Aradigm, at Aradigm’s expense, to examine such records during Purchaser’s regular business hours for the purpose of and to the extent necessary to verify any report required under this Agreement with respect to Net Sales received not more than three years prior to the date of Aradigm’s request. In the event that the amounts due to Aradigm are determined to have been underpaid, Purchaser shall promptly pay to Aradigm any amount due and unpaid. In the event that it is determined, as a result of such examination, that the amount underpaid with respect to a given payment is in excess of 5% of the total amount of such payment, then Purchaser shall reimburse Aradigm for all costs incurred by Aradigm in conducting such examination.

          (vi)  Reports . Beginning with the first accrual of royalties or other payments due hereunder, Purchaser shall provide to Aradigm a quarterly royalty report as follows: Within 60 days after the end of each quarterly period, Purchaser shall deliver to Aradigm a true and accurate report, giving such particulars of the business conducted by Purchaser, its Affiliates and Licensees, during such quarterly period as are pertinent to account for payments due under this Section 2.06(a). Such report shall include, as applicable, at least (A) the total of Net Sales during such quarterly period; (B) the calculation of royalties; (C) the calculation of Royalty Revenue for each applicable Non-Sumatriptan Product and (D) the total royalties and other payments due Aradigm. Simultaneously with the delivery of each such report, Purchaser shall pay to Aradigm the total amount, if any, due to Aradigm for the period of such report. If no payment is due, Purchaser shall so report. Aradigm shall not provide to Third Parties any information contained in reports provided to Aradigm under this Section 2.06(a)(v), or learned by Aradigm under Section 2.06(a)(iii) above.

If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the payment of royalties hereunder, such conversion shall be made by using the exchange rates reported in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the quarter in respect of which such payment is made.

          (viii)  Taxes . Any withholding or other tax that is required by law to be withheld on behalf of Aradigm with respect to payments owed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be deducted by Purchaser from such payment prior to remittance. Purchaser shall promptly furnish Aradigm evidence of any such taxes withheld.

          (ix) Without limiting Section 2.06(a)(v) above, Purchaser shall take reasonable measures to keep Aradigm informed as to the progress of the development and commercialization of the Intraject Delivery System and Products arising therefrom until such time as Purchaser has fulfilled its royalty obligations to Aradigm pursuant to Section 2.06(a).

     Section 2.07 Closing, Closing Place, Time and Date .

     Section 2.08 Nontransferable Assets . To the extent that any Assigned Asset or Assumed Liability to be sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred, delivered or assumed to or by Purchaser pursuant hereto, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, is not capable of being sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred or delivered without the approval, consent or waiver of the issuer thereof or the other Party thereto, or any third Person (including a Governmental Body), or if such sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery or attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery would constitute a breach (or give rise to a termination right) thereof or a violation of any law, decree, order, regulation or other governmental edict (collectively, with respect to such Assigned Assets as set forth on Exhibit J , the “ Nontransferable Assets ”), except as expressly otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery thereof, or an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery thereof absent such approvals, consents or waivers. If any such approval, consent or waiver shall not be obtained, or if an attempted assignment of any such Assigned Asset or the assumption of any Assumed Liability by Purchaser would be ineffective so that Purchaser would not in fact receive all the Nontransferable Assets or assume all such Assumed Liabilities pursuant hereto, Aradigm and Purchaser shall cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Purchaser would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations of such Assigned Assets and Assumed Liabilities,

     (b)  To Aradigm . Purchaser hereby grants to Aradigm a non-exclusive, fully-paid, world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable license to fully exercise any Intellectual Property Rights that are (i) owned, controlled or employed by Purchaser as of the Closing (or that arises thereafter to the extent covering Technology created, owned, controlled or employed by Aradigm as of the Closing) and (ii) solely for use in the Pulmonary Field.
