If within forty-five (45) days after receiving such Asset Acquisition Statement, Seller proposes to Buyer any changes to such Asset Acquisition Statement then Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any dispute; provided, however, that if Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any such dispute within sixty (60) days following the receipt of Buyer or Seller’s proposed changes, such dispute shall be submitted to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Accountant”) for resolution.

Buyer and Seller shall file all applicable Tax Returns and reports consistent with the allocation provided in the Asset Acquisition Statement (as finalized) and shall not take any position before an applicable Taxing Authority inconsistent with the Asset Acquisition Statement unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

22

Section 2.8 Withholding.

Buyer (and its agents) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any applicable Law. In such case, to the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the applicable Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

Section 2.9 Designation of Acquired Contracts.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice to Seller, amend or revise Schedule 2.1(a) in order to:

(a) eliminate any Contract from Schedule 2.1(a) at any time during the period commencing from the date hereof and ending on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; or

(b) add any Contract that relates to the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Technology to Schedule 2.1(a) at any time during the period commencing from the date hereof and ending on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of any chapter 11 plan; provided that the counterparty to such Contract is provided sufficient notice and an opportunity to object to such assumption and assignment in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order; and provided further that Buyer’s deadline to add any Outbound License Agreement to Schedule 2.1(a) shall be two (2) Business Days prior to the Sale Hearing except as otherwise agreed by Buyer and any non-Seller counterparty to an Outbound License Agreement.

Automatically upon the addition of any Contract to Schedule 2.1(a), such Contract shall be an Acquired Contract for all purposes under this Agreement, until such time (if any) as such Contract is eliminated from Schedule 2.1(a). Automatically upon the removal of any Contract from Schedule 2.1(a), such Contract shall be a Retained Asset for all purposes of this Agreement, and no Liabilities arising thereunder shall be assumed or borne by Buyer, and no such removal shall result in any adjustment to the Purchase Price. If Buyer adds one or more Contracts to Schedule 2.1(a) after the date hereof, Seller shall file any supplemental motion required to assume and assign such additional Contracts and shall provide such supplemental notice as is required under the Bidding Procedures Order. Seller shall obtain Buyer’s prior written consent prior to filing any motion or notice at any time seeking to reject any Contract listed on Schedule 2.1(a), and Seller shall not file any motion or notice at any time seeking to reject any Contract listed on Schedule 2.1(a) without such consent. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall not terminate, amend, supplement, modify, waive any rights under, or create any adverse interest with respect to any Acquired Contract without the prior written consent of Buyer.

Section 2.10 Contract Cures.

(a) Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of all Cure Costs necessary to cure all defaults under the Acquired Contracts in connection with the assumption and assignment thereof to Buyer pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller shall serve on each counterparty to an Acquired Contract, in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, a notice, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, setting forth the Cure Costs, if any, that Seller believes are required to cure all defaults under such Acquired Contract.

23

(b) In the event of any objection by a counterparty to an Acquired Contract to (A) the Cure Costs asserted by Seller, (B) the adequate assurance of future performance to be provided by Buyer, or (C) any other aspect of the proposed assumption and assignment of such Acquired Contract (each, a “Cure/Assumption Objection”), Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve any such Cure/Assumption Objection (with the prior written consent of Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that (x) Seller shall be solely responsible for resolving any Cure Cost objection and any objection other than an objection based solely on Buyer’s adequate assurance of future performance, (y) Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with any objection relating to adequate assurance of future performance, and (z) if reasonably requested by Buyer, Seller shall prosecute to conclusion any Cure/Assumption Objection interposed by a counterparty. In no event shall Seller settle any Cure/Assumption Objection without the express prior written consent of Buyer. Seller shall litigate before the Bankruptcy Court any Cure/Assumption Objection that cannot be settled with the prior written consent of Buyer and shall request that the Bankruptcy Court hear and determine such objection on an expedited basis.

(c) If any Cure/Assumption Objection with respect to an Acquired Contract has not been resolved prior to the Closing (whether by order of the Bankruptcy Court or by agreement with the applicable counterparty), (i) Buyer may, in its sole discretion, by written notice to Seller, elect to remove such Acquired Contract from Schedule 2.1(a), in which case such Contract shall be a Retained Asset for all purposes of this Agreement and no Liabilities arising thereunder shall be assumed or borne by Buyer, or (ii) Buyer may elect to temporarily treat such Contract as a “Designated Contract” and proceed to Closing without any modification to Purchase Price, without the assignment of such Designated Contract, and determine within seven (7) Business Days after resolution of such objection (whether by order of the Bankruptcy Court or by agreement with the applicable counterparty) whether to treat such Designated Contract as an Acquired Contract or a Retained Asset. For any Acquired Contracts that are the subject of a pending Cure/Assumption Objection with respect solely to the amount of the Cure Cost at the time of Closing, Seller shall reserve funding for such disputed Cure Costs pending resolution of the dispute. Upon resolution of any Cure/Assumption Objection following the Closing, Seller shall promptly assume and assign such Contract to Buyer in accordance with Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 2.11 Previously Omitted Contracts.

If prior to or after the Closing it is discovered that a Contract related to the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Technology should have been listed on Schedule 3.6(a) or Schedule 3.13(i) but was not so listed (any such Contract, a “Previously Omitted Contract”), Seller shall, promptly following the discovery thereof (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the discovery thereof), notify Buyer in writing of such Previously Omitted Contract and provide Buyer with a copy of such Previously Omitted Contract and the Cure Costs (if any) in respect thereof. Buyer shall thereafter have the right, by written notice to Seller delivered no later than ten (10) Business Days following such notice, to designate such Previously Omitted Contract as an Acquired Contract. If Buyer so designates a Previously Omitted Contract as an Acquired

24

Contract, Seller shall promptly file such motions under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as are necessary to obtain an order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the assumption and assignment thereof to Buyer, and such Previously Omitted Contract shall be deemed an Acquired Contract for all purposes under this Agreement. If Buyer does not timely designate such Previously Omitted Contract as an Acquired Contract, such Previously Omitted Contract shall be a Retained Asset for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.12 Designated Purchaser.

In connection with the Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to designate one or more of its Affiliates to purchase specified Acquired Assets and assume any applicable Assumed Liabilities on and after the Closing Date (any such Affiliate of Buyer that shall be properly designated by Buyer in accordance with this Section 2.12, a “Designated Purchaser”); provided that (i) no such designation shall release or relieve Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, (ii) no such designation shall impede or delay the Closing or require any additional Consent, and (iii) Buyer shall be jointly and severally liable with any Designated Purchaser for all obligations of such Designated Purchaser under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. At and after the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Designated Purchaser(s) to, honor Buyer’s obligations at the Closing. After the Closing, any reference to Buyer made in this Agreement in respect of any purchase or assumption referred to in this Agreement shall include reference to the appropriate Designated Purchaser(s), if any. Buyer shall give Seller not less than three (3) Business Days’ written notice of any such designation, which notice shall identify the applicable Designated Purchaser(s) and the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities to be transferred to or assumed by each such Designated Purchaser.

Seller and its Affiliates have complied with all Laws regarding the duty of disclosure, candor and good faith in connection with each Patent included in the Acquired Intellectual Property. No public disclosure or sale by Seller or any of its Affiliates or licensees has occurred which has rendered or would reasonably be expected to render any Patent contained in the Acquired Intellectual Property unenforceable or invalid.

(e) To the Knowledge of Seller, no Person has misappropriated, infringed or otherwise violated or is infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating any Acquired Intellectual Property, and no such claim has been made against any other Person by Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(f) Seller and each of its Affiliates has taken commercially reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality, secrecy and value of all material Know-How included in the Acquired Intellectual Property, and to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use thereof. No such Know-How has been authorized to be disclosed or has been actually disclosed by Seller or any of its Affiliates to any Person other than pursuant to a written non-disclosure agreement or written confidentiality obligation restricting the disclosure and use of such Know-How, and to the Knowledge of Seller, no such Person is in default of any such agreement.

(g) No past or present founder, director, officer, employee, consultant or independent contractor of Seller or any of its Affiliates owns (or has any claim, or any right (whether or not currently exercisable) to any ownership interest, in or to) any Acquired Intellectual Property that is or could be material to the Exploitation of the Acquired Technology or the Acquired Assets. Each current and former founder, employee, officer and director of Seller or any of its Affiliates, each current and former independent contractor and consultant of Seller or any of its Affiliates, and any other Person who is or has been involved in the creation or development of any Intellectual Property for or on behalf of Seller or any of its Affiliates and claiming or covering any Acquired Technology or otherwise included in the Acquired Intellectual Property has executed a valid and enforceable written agreement (i) requiring such Person to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information of Seller and its Affiliates, (ii) permitting such Person to use such information only for the benefit of Seller or its Affiliates in the scope of such Person’s employment or engagement by Seller and its Affiliates (as the case may be) and (iii) containing a present assignment to Seller or one of its Affiliates of all rights, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property created or developed for Seller or any of its Affiliates in the course of such Person’s employment or retention thereby. There is no material uncured breach by Seller or any of its Affiliates, or to the Knowledge of Seller, the counterparty, under any such agreement. Seller has made available to Buyer copies of all such agreements (or Seller’s forms thereof).

(h) Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates is required to make any payments by way of royalties, fees or otherwise to any owner, licensor of, or other claimant to, any Acquired Intellectual Property, or any other Person, with respect to the use thereof or in connection with the Exploitation of any Acquired Technology or Acquired Intellectual Property.

(i) Schedule 3.13(i) sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Intellectual Property Licenses. Seller has delivered to Buyer true, correct and complete copies of each Intellectual Property License, together with all amendments, modifications or supplements thereto.

35

the rights assigned to Buyer hereunder as of the Closing, expand the scope of the rights or licenses granted to any Outbound Licensee beyond the scope of such rights or licenses as they exist as of the date of this Agreement, or otherwise interfere with Buyer’s exercise of its right to Exploit the Acquired Technology and the Acquired Intellectual Property.

(a) Hire Offers. Subject to such Person’s completion of Buyer’s customary screening procedures to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, Buyer shall, or shall cause a Buyer Affiliate to, offer employment (a “Hire Offer”) to each Person listed on Schedule 7.4(a) (an “Employee”) that is effective on the Closing Date and contingent on (i) the Closing and (ii) the Employee’s resignation from all positions and employment with Seller and its Affiliates. Each Hire Offer shall be on such terms and conditions as established by Buyer or any Buyer Affiliate in its sole discretion. Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold satisfaction of screening with respect to

48

any Employee. Seller and its Affiliates shall, if requested, cooperate in good faith with and provide reasonable assistance to Buyer and its Affiliates in its or their efforts to make Hire Offers, including by using reasonable best efforts to (A) make each Employee reasonably accessible to meet and interview with Buyer or its Affiliates, and (B) otherwise facilitate Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ interview and evaluation processes. Each Employee who receives and accepts a Hire Offer and commences employment with Buyer or its Affiliate is referred to herein as a “Hired Employee”.

Seller shall be solely responsible for providing any notice required by, and any and all Liabilities arising under, the WARN Act relating to any employee of Seller or its Affiliates whose employment is terminated by Seller or its Affiliates prior to, upon, or following the Closing. Buyer or its Affiliate will provide any required notice under the WARN Act and otherwise comply with the WARN Act with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting Hired Employees (including as a result of the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement) occurring from and after the Closing.

(c) Seller and its Affiliates solely shall be responsible for any and all obligations and Liabilities arising under Section 4980B of the Code with respect to all “M&A qualified beneficiaries”, as defined in 26 C.F.R. § 54.4980B-9.

(d) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No provision in this Section 7.4 shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any Seller Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement sponsored or maintained by Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates. This Section 7.4 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 7.4, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever. Without limiting the foregoing, no provision of this Section 7.4 will create any third-party beneficiary rights in any current or former Service Provider in respect of continued employment or engagement (or resumed employment or engagement) or any other matter. Nothing in this Section 7.4, express or implied, (A) shall confer upon any Service Provider any right to employment or continued employment or level of compensation or benefits for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement or (B) is intended to be or shall be considered to be an amendment or adoption of any plan, program, agreement, arrangement or policy of Seller or Buyer, nor shall it interfere with any of Seller’s or Buyer’s and their respective Affiliates’ rights from and after the Closing to amend or terminate any employee benefit plan.

49

50

(d) Adequate Assurance. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in providing adequate assurance of future performance as required under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Acquired Contracts proposed to be assumed and assigned to Buyer, including facilitating any negotiations with counterparties to such Acquired Contracts and, if necessary, obtaining an order of the Bankruptcy Court containing a finding that the proposed assumption and assignment of such Acquired Contracts to Buyer satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Buyer and Guarantor shall use reasonable efforts to assist Seller in establishing Buyer’s ability to provide adequate assurance of future performance as required under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Acquired Contracts proposed to be assumed and assigned to Buyer.

(e) Bankruptcy Case Conduct. From the Petition Date until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE IX, Seller shall (i) not pursue or seek, and shall oppose, (A) any conversion of the Bankruptcy Case to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, (B) the dismissal of the Bankruptcy Case, or (C) the appointment of a trustee or examiner with expanded powers in the Bankruptcy Case, and (ii) not take any action or fail to take any action which action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to result in the termination, revocation or material limitation of Seller’s authority to operate as a debtor-in-possession under Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. After entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order, the terms of any other proposed order submitted by Seller to the Bankruptcy Court shall not conflict with, supersede, abrogate, nullify or restrict the terms of this Agreement, or in any way prevent or interfere with the consummation or performance of the Contemplated Transactions.

(f) Non-Solicitation. From the date of this Agreement until the date the Sale Motion is filed with the Bankruptcy Court, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives not to, solicit, negotiate or engage in discussion with any third party (and Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives, to cease immediately any such ongoing activity), or enter into any agreement or understanding with respect to, or approve or recommend, or knowingly facilitate, any Alternative Transaction; provided, however, that on and after the Petition Date, Seller may take any of the foregoing actions with respect to any Person in accordance with the proposed Bidding Procedures substantially in the form of Exhibit F and with the Bidding Procedures Order once entered by the Bankruptcy Court.

(g) Notice of Successful Bidder. Within 24 hours following the designation of Buyer as the Successful Bidder (as defined in the Bidding Procedures), or as otherwise agreed to by the parties, Seller shall file the notice of successful bidder (as contemplated by the Bidding Procedures) and take any other appropriate actions to seek entry of the Sale Order.

In consideration of Buyer and its Affiliates having expended considerable time and expense in connection with this Agreement and the negotiation thereof, and the identification and quantification of assets to be included in the Acquired Assets, and to compensate Buyer as a stalking-horse bidder, upon the occurrence of a Fee Event, Seller shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Buyer in cash (i) a break-up fee equal to $1,500,000 (the “Break-Up Fee”), representing three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price and (ii) the aggregate amount of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred by Buyer and its Affiliates and owed to third parties in connection with evaluating, negotiating, documenting and performing the Contemplated Transactions, including fees, costs and expenses of any financial advisors, outside legal counsel, accountants, experts and consultants retained by Buyer or its Affiliates (in an amount not to exceed $500,000 (representing one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price)) (together with the Break-Up Fee, the “Bid Protections”). The Bid Protections shall be payable within two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of a Fee Event, unless the Fee Event is triggered by the consummation of an Alternative Transaction, in which case the Bid Protections shall be payable contemporaneously with the closing of such Alternative Transaction. The obligation to pay the Bid Protections shall constitute an allowed administrative expense claim under Sections 503(b) and 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, with priority over any and all other administrative expenses of the kind specified in Sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and over any and all administrative expenses or other claims arising under Sections 105, 326, 327, 328, 330, 331, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 726, 1113 or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise (a “Superpriority Claim”), subject to any carve-out for professional fees set forth in any applicable debtor-in-possession or cash collateral order entered by the Bankruptcy Court.

56

(d) Credit Bid. In the event the Bid Protections become payable, Buyer shall be entitled to credit bid any amounts owing on account of the Bid Protections at any auction conducted pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order or in any sale of the Acquired Assets or any other assets of Seller.

Section 10.3 Waiver.

No waiver hereunder shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.

Section 10.4 Confidentiality Obligations.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its and its Affiliates’ Service Providers, Representatives, advisors and consultants to, keep confidential and not publish or otherwise disclose or use for any purpose, any confidential or proprietary information, including without limitation, data, information, compositions of matter and other chemical or biological materials, inventions, ideas and other Know-How and technology, in each case, contained in the Acquired Technology or the Acquired Intellectual Property (the “Confidential Information”).

(b) Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of the Closing or (ii) becomes generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after the Closing and other than through any act or omission of Seller (or its or its Affiliates’ Service Providers, Representatives, advisors or consultants) or any Person to whom Seller has disclosed such Confidential Information, in each case, in breach of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.4 shall not prohibit the disclosure of Confidential Information by Seller (i) as required by applicable Law, provided that Seller notifies Buyer in writing of such requirement and anticipated disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as is practicable; or (ii) to a legal, financial or tax advisor who has a need to know such information for the purpose of providing advice or services to Seller, and who is bound by a fiduciary, contractual or other legal obligation not to disclose such information.

(d) In the event Seller (or its or its Affiliates’ Service Providers, Representatives, advisors or consultants) breaches the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 10.4, Buyer shall be entitled to seek, in addition to any other right or remedy Buyer may have at Law or in equity, a temporary injunction, without the posting of any bond or other security, enjoining or restraining Seller (or its or its Affiliates’ Service Providers, Representatives, advisors or consultants, as applicable) from any violation or threatened violation of this Section 10.4.

Except as specifically set forth in the preceding sentence, no assignment, delegation or transfer of a party’s rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6 shall relieve that assigning party of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

Section 2.05 Assignment of Contracts; Cure Costs

(a) Section 2.01(c) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth a list of all Contracts to which Seller or a Subsidiary thereof is a party and which are to be included in the Assigned Contracts. Seller shall make such deletions to Section 2.01(c) of the Disclosure Schedules as Buyer shall, in its sole discretion, request in writing at any time up to the date that is two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Any such deleted Contract shall be deemed to no longer be an Assigned Contract. Seller shall add any Contracts to Section 2.01(c) of the Disclosure Schedules as Buyer shall, in its sole discretion, request in writing at any time up to the date that is two Business Days prior to the effective date of any Chapter 11 plan; provided that the counterparty to such Contract is provided notice and an opportunity to object to such assumption and assignment in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order or any other relevant order of the Bankruptcy Court.

(b) Subject to Section 2.05(a) and Section 2.05(e), any Contract of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that is not listed on Section 2.01(c) of the Disclosure Schedules shall not be considered an Assigned Contract and shall be deemed an Excluded Contract. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that there shall be no reduction or increase in the Purchase Price if Buyer elects to add or delete any Contracts from Section 2.01(c) of the Disclosure Schedules.

(c) Seller shall provide timely and proper written notice of a proposed Sale Order to all parties to any executory Contracts to which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is a party that are related to the Business and take all actions required to assume and assign the Assigned Contracts to Buyer, including using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate any negotiations with the counterparties to such Contracts and to obtain a finding under the Sale Order that the proposed assumption and assignment of the Assigned Contracts to Buyer satisfy all applicable requirements of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(d) At the Closing, (i) Seller shall, pursuant to the Sale Order and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement(s), as applicable, assign (or cause to be assigned) to Buyer (the consideration for which is included in the Purchase Price) each of the Assigned Contracts that is capable of being assigned under applicable Law and (ii) Buyer shall assume and discharge the Assumed Liabilities (if any) under the Assigned Contracts, pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement(s).

20

(e) If prior to or following Closing, it is discovered that a Contract should have been listed in Section 4.07 of the Disclosure Schedules but was not so listed (any such Contract, a “Previously Omitted Contract”), Seller shall, promptly (but in no event later than two Business Days following the discovery thereof) notify Buyer in writing of such Previously Omitted Contract. Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller promptly thereafter, designating such Previously Omitted Contract as “Assigned” or “Excluded” (a “Previously Omitted Contract Designation”). A Previously Omitted Contract designated as “Excluded,” or with respect to which Buyer fails to deliver a Previously Omitted Contract Designation, shall be an Excluded Contract. If Buyer designates a Previously Omitted Contract as “Assigned”, Section 2.01(c) of the Disclosure Schedules shall be amended to include such Previously Omitted Contract and Seller shall serve a notice (the “Previously Omitted Contract Notice”) on the counterparties to such Previously Omitted Contract notifying such counterparties of Seller’s intention to assign and Buyer’s intention to assume such Previously Omitted Contract in accordance with this Agreement. The Previously Omitted Contract Notice shall provide the counterparties to such Previously Omitted Contract with ten Business Days to object, in writing to Seller and Buyer, to the assumption of their Contract. If the counterparties, Seller and Buyer are unable to reach a consensual resolution with respect to the objection, Seller will seek an expedited hearing before the Bankruptcy Court to approve the assumption. If no objection is timely served on Seller and Buyer, Seller shall obtain an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumption of the Previously Omitted Contract. Seller and Buyer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other instruments and take commercially reasonable efforts as are reasonably practicable for Buyer to assume the rights and obligations under such Previously Omitted Contract.

(f) Seller shall give written notice to Buyer prior to the submission by Seller of any motion in the Chapter 11 Case to reject any Contract used or held for use in the Business and provide Buyer with an opportunity to designate such Contract as either an Assigned Contract or Excluded Contract; provided that in no event will Seller reject or seek to reject any Contract used or held for use in the Business prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date unless prior written approval has been obtained from Buyer.

(g) Seller shall be responsible for payment of all Cure Costs, if any, necessary to cure all defaults under the Assigned Contracts in connection with the assumption and assignment thereof to Buyer pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(h) In the event of any objection by a counterparty to an Assigned Contract to (i) the Cure Costs asserted by Seller, (ii) the adequate assurance of future performance to be provided by Buyer, or (iii) any other aspect of the proposed assumption and assignment of such Assigned Contract (each, a “Cure/Assumption Objection”), Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve any such Cure/Assumption Objection (with the prior written consent of Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with any objection relating to adequate assurance of future performance. In no event shall Seller settle any Cure/Assumption Objection without the express prior written consent of Buyer. Seller shall litigate before the Bankruptcy Court any Cure/Assumption Objection that cannot be settled with the prior written consent of Buyer and shall request that the Bankruptcy Court hear and determine such objection on an expedited basis.

21

(i) Except with respect to any Assigned Contracts to which any party set forth on Schedule 2.05(i) or an Affiliate thereof (such Persons set forth on Schedule 2.05(i) and its Affiliates, the “Essential Counterparties”) is party, if any Cure/Assumption Objection with respect to an Assigned Contract has not been resolved prior to the Closing (whether by order of the Bankruptcy Court or by agreement with the applicable counterparty), (i) Buyer may, in its sole discretion, by written notice to Seller, elect to remove such Assigned Contract from Schedule 2.01(c) of the Disclosure Schedules, in which case such Contract shall be an Excluded Contract for all purposes of this Agreement and no Liabilities arising thereunder shall be assumed or borne by Buyer, or (ii) Buyer may elect to temporarily treat such Contract as a “Designated Contract” and proceed to Closing without any modification to Purchase Price, without the assignment of such Designated Contract, and determine within seven Business Days after resolution of such objection (whether by order of the Bankruptcy Court or by agreement with the applicable counterparty) whether to treat such Designated Contract as an Assigned Contract or an Excluded Contract. Upon resolution of any Cure/Assumption Objection following the Closing, Seller shall promptly assume and assign such Contract to Buyer in accordance with Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 2.06 Assignment of Assets

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.05, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Buyer may, in its sole discretion by written notice to Seller, designate any of the Purchased Assets as additional Excluded Assets, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the Purchased Assets so designated. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price if Buyer elects to designate any Purchased Assets as Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Liabilities of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries under or related to any Purchased Asset excluded under this paragraph will constitute Excluded Liabilities.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement will not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer and will not effect the assignment or transfer of any Purchased Asset (including any Assigned Contract) if (i) (A) prohibited by applicable Law, (B) an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would reasonably likely subject Buyer, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives to civil or criminal Liability or (C) an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the approval, authorization or consent of, or granting or issuance of any license or permit by, any Third Party thereto (each such action, a “Necessary Consent”), would constitute a breach, default or violation thereof or of any Law or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer thereunder or (ii) the Bankruptcy Court has not entered an order approving such assignment or transfer. In such event, such assignment or transfer is subject to such Necessary Consent being obtained and Seller and Buyer will use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Necessary Consents with respect to any such Purchased Asset (including any Assigned Contract) or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment or transfer thereof to Buyer as Buyer may reasonably request. If such Necessary Consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would give rise to any of the circumstances described in clauses (i) or (ii)

22

of the first sentence of this section, be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Buyer to such Purchased Asset following the Closing, (x) Seller and Buyer will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, (1) use commercially reasonable efforts (including cooperating with one another to obtain such Necessary Consents, to the extent feasible) as may be necessary so that Buyer would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, (2) complete any such assignments or transfers as soon as reasonably practicable, and (3) upon receipt of any applicable Necessary Consents, to transfer or assign the applicable Purchased Asset to Buyer, and (y) Seller will, and will cause its respective Affiliates to, cooperate with Buyer in good faith without further consideration in any arrangement reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller intended to provide Buyer with the benefit of any such Purchased Assets.

Section 2.07 Further Conveyances and Assumptions. From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Buyer will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, assignments, releases and other instruments, and will take such further actions, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure fully to Buyer and their successors or assigns, all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Buyer under this Agreement and to assure fully to Seller and its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, the assumption of the liabilities and obligations intended to be assumed by Buyer under this Agreement, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated herein; provided that nothing in this section will require Buyer or any of its Affiliates to assume any Liabilities other than the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 2.08 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Purchased Assets shall be the aggregate of (i) $25,000,000 (the “Closing Consideration”) and (ii) in the manner and at the time and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.09, the Milestone Payments (together with the Closing Consideration, the “Purchase Price”), plus the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, Buyer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to increase the Purchase Price (or any component thereof), subject to the Bidding Procedures Order and applicable Law. The Closing Consideration shall be paid as provided in Section 3.02(b)(i). The Milestone Payment shall be paid as provided in Section 2.09.

Section 2.09 Milestone Payment.

(a) Buyer shall notify Seller in writing within fifteen Business Days following the achievement of a Milestone Event. If the Accelerated Milestone Event is achieved, Buyer will make a one-time, non-refundable payment of $12,500,000 to Seller (the “Accelerated Milestone Payment”), no later than twenty Business Days after Buyer’s notice of the achievement of the Accelerated Milestone Event. If the Full Milestone Event is achieved, Buyer will make a one-time, non-refundable payment of $12,500,000 to Seller (the “Full Milestone Payment”), no later than twenty Business Days after Buyer’s notice of the achievement of the Full Milestone Event. If the Full Milestone Event is achieved and the Accelerated Milestone Event was not achieved prior to the achievement of the Full Milestone Event, Buyer will make both the Accelerated Milestone Payment and the Full Milestone Payment to Seller no later than twenty Business Days after Buyer’s notice of the achievement of the Full Milestone Event. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate amount payable by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.09(a) shall not exceed $25,000,000.

23

(b) Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that, except as set forth in Section 2.09(c): (i) Buyer shall have the right to own, develop, operate and maintain the Business as Buyer deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, (ii) Buyer does not have any obligation, expressed or implied, to manage the Business in a manner to achieve or expedite any Milestone Event, (iii) Buyer does not have any obligation to conduct any additional pre-approval or post-approval clinical trial beyond the STAAR Studies, (iv) Buyer does not owe any duty, as a fiduciary or otherwise, to Seller in connection with its management of the Business following the Closing, (v) there is no assurance Seller will receive any Milestone Payment, (vi) Buyer shall have the right to manage, hire and terminate the employment or engagement of any service provider as Buyer deems appropriate in its sole discretion in the Business, (vii) (A) Buyer has not, prior to, at or after the date hereof, promised any amounts to be received by Seller in respect of any Milestone Payment except upon the achievement of any Milestone Event, and (B) Buyer has not made, and Seller is not relying on or has not relied on, any representation or warranty of any kind or other information, documents or materials (or absence thereof) in respect of any Milestone Payment, including with respect to the management of the Business following the Closing and (viii) the Parties intend the express provisions of this Section 2.09 to govern their contractual relationship with respect to any Milestone Payment and to supersede any standard of effort or implied covenant that might otherwise be imposed by applicable Law, any Governmental Authority or otherwise. The Parties hereby expressly disclaim any extra-contractual covenants, obligations or undertakings with respect to any Milestone Payment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any claims of fraud) and agree that the sole obligations of the Parties with respect to any Milestone Payment shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 2.09(b) above, following the achievement of the Accelerated Milestone Event, Buyer shall not delay the submission of an application to the FDA for full approval of a US BLA for the Company Product in bad faith and with the primary purpose of avoiding the Full Milestone Payment.

(d) Any right to receive any Milestone Payment is solely a contractual right and is not a security for purposes of any federal or state securities Law. The right to receive any Milestone Payment: (i) does not give any dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation rights, preemptive rights or other rights to Seller; (ii) shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument; (iii) shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable; (iv) shall not accrue or pay interest on any portion thereof; and (v) does not represent any right other than the right to receive the consideration set forth in this Agreement. Any attempted transfer of the right to any Milestone Payment by any holder thereof shall be null and void, provided, however, that the Seller can assign the right to any Milestone Payment to any trustee or estate representative appointed in the Chapter 11 Case or any successor Chapter 7 case.

24

Section 2.10 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Closing Consideration and any Milestone Payment all Taxes that Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under any provision of Tax Law.

Seller shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document required to be filed with respect to any Transfer Tax and timely pay any amount of Transfer Tax (whether or not shown on a Tax Return) required to be paid to any Taxing Authority, and Buyer shall join in the execution of any such Tax Return if required by Law and upon receipt of a written notice from Seller reimburse Seller for the portion of any amount of Transfer Tax for which Buyer is responsible hereunder. If, contrary to the preceding sentence, with respect to any Transfer Tax Buyer is required by Law to file a Tax Return, Buyer shall file such Tax Return and, if any amount of Transfer Tax is due to be paid in respect thereof, notify Seller of the amount of the Transfer Tax shown to be due on such Tax Return for which Seller is responsible hereunder, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for such amount. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be made by the paying Party to the payee Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten days of receipt of notice from the payee Party to an account or accounts designated by the payee Party.

(c) All personal property and similar ad valorem Taxes, if any, levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (collectively, the “Apportioned Taxes”) shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer based on the number of days of such taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date (such portion of such taxable period, the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and the number of days of such taxable period after the Closing Date (such portion of such taxable period, the “Post-Closing Tax Period”).

Upon payment of any such Apportioned Taxes, the paying party (or parties, as applicable) shall present a statement to the non-paying party (or parties, as applicable) setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the paying party (or parties, as applicable) is entitled under this section, together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount to be reimbursed.

Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has any royalty obligation or milestone obligation with respect to any Intellectual Property Assets. The Intellectual Property Assets, together with the Intellectual Property Rights licensed to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries under the Intellectual Property Agreements that will be assigned to Buyer at Closing, constitutes all of the Intellectual Property Rights owned, controlled or licensed by Seller or any of its subsidiaries and that are necessary or reasonably useful for or used by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in the conduct of the Business. There exist no restrictions or limitations, on the ownership, disclosure, use, development, enforcement, license or other exploitation or transfer of the Intellectual Property Assets. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (i) alter, encumber, impair or extinguish any rights of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries under any Intellectual Property Assets or any Intellectual Property Agreement, (ii) impair or otherwise adversely affect the right of Buyer to develop, use, sell, license or otherwise exploit, transfer or dispose of, or to bring any Action for the infringement of, any Intellectual Property Assets or, to the extent such rights thereunder are currently held by Seller or a Subsidiary thereof, any Intellectual Property Agreements or (iii) through the operation of any Contracts to which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound, encumber any of the Intellectual Property Assets.

(e) No funding, facilities, equipment, materials, data, know-how, or personnel, resources or other support of any Governmental Authority or any university, college, hospital, academic medical center, research institute, nonprofit institution or other educational or research institution has been or is being used, directly or indirectly to conceive, discover, reduce to practice, develop, test, manufacture, analyze, validate or otherwise create, in whole or in part, any Intellectual Property Assets, except for use of facilities or personnel that (i) does not result in such Governmental Authority or educational institution obtaining ownership of, or use rights to, such Intellectual Property Assets, and (ii) does not require or otherwise obligate Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to grant or offer to any such Governmental Authority or educational institution any license or other right to such Intellectual Property Assets.

30

Contractor was also performing services for Seller or any of its Subsidiaries. No Intellectual Property Asset is a ‘subject invention’ under the Bayh-Dole Act or similar applicable Law, and no Governmental Authority, university, college, hospital, academic medical center, research institute, nonprofit institution or other educational or research institution has or may have any ownership right, license, march-in right, manufacturing requirement, preference right, consent right, approval right, royalty right, revenue-sharing right or other right or interest in or to any Intellectual Property Asset. No Intellectual Property Asset, biological material, data, know-how or Trade Secret is subject to any publication, data-sharing, material-sharing, deposit, access, non-commercial-use, research-use, academic-use or similar obligation that would restrict or impair Buyer’s ownership, use, development, manufacture, commercialization, enforcement, prosecution, maintenance, transfer or other exploitation thereof.

(f) Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, will result in the loss, modification, impairment, acceleration, of or payment of any additional amounts with respect to, grant of any rights to any Person in respect of, nor require the consent, waiver, notice or other authorization of any other Person in respect of, Buyer’s right to own, transfer or use or otherwise exploit any Intellectual Property Assets or any Intellectual Property Rights subject to any Intellectual Property Agreement.

(g) All of the Intellectual Property Assets are subsisting, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, valid and enforceable. Except as set forth in Section 4.06(g)(1) of the Disclosure Schedules, all inventors of each Patent included in the Intellectual Property Assets have been correctly identified in accordance with applicable Law, all assignments necessary to vest sole and exclusive ownership in Seller or a Subsidiary thereof have been duly executed and recorded with the applicable Governmental Authority, and no Person has asserted or has any basis to assert any inventorship, authorship, ownership or compensation claim with respect to any Intellectual Property Asset. Seller and its Subsidiaries have taken all reasonable steps to maintain and enforce the Intellectual Property Assets and to preserve the confidentiality of all Trade Secrets included in the Intellectual Property Assets, including by requiring all Persons having access thereto to execute binding, written non-disclosure agreements. All necessary registration, maintenance, and renewal fees due in connection with the prosecution and maintenance of the Intellectual Property Registrations have been timely paid, and all Intellectual Property Registrations are otherwise in good standing. Seller has provided Buyer with true, correct and complete copies of file histories, documents, certificates, office actions, correspondence and other materials related to all Intellectual Property Registrations. No Intellectual Property Registration is or has been subject to any interference, derivation proceeding, opposition, reissue, reexamination, post-grant review, inter partes review, nullity proceeding, cancellation proceeding or other Action challenging scope, ownership, inventorship, patentability, validity or enforceability. All necessary documents, recordations, and certificates in connection with the Intellectual Property Registrations have been filed with the relevant Patent, Copyright, Trademark or other authorities in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, as the case may be, for the purposes of maintaining the Intellectual Property Registrations registered in such jurisdictions. Except as set forth on Section 4.06(g)(2) of the Disclosure Schedules, there are no actions that must be taken

31

There has been no publication, presentation, poster, abstract, clinical trial disclosure, regulatory submission, offer for sale, sale, public use, disclosure, transfer or other act or omission by Seller, its Subsidiaries or, to Seller’s Knowledge, any of their respective Representatives that has impaired or would reasonably be expected to impair the patentability, validity, enforceability, scope, ownership or value of any Intellectual Property Asset.

(h) To Seller’s Knowledge (and determined taking into consideration any safe harbor, research exemption, government or executive declaration of urgent public health need, or similar right available in law or equity), and, except as set forth in Section 4.06(h) of the Disclosure Schedule, the conduct of the Business as currently and formerly conducted and, as currently contemplated to be conducted after Closing, including the use of the Intellectual Property Assets and the Intellectual Property Rights licensed under the Intellectual Property Agreements in connection with the Business, and the Company Products, processes, and services of the Business have not infringed, contributed to or induced the infringement of, misappropriated or otherwise violated and do not and will not infringe, contribute to or induce the infringement of, misappropriate, or otherwise violate, any Intellectual Property Rights or other rights of any Person in any respect. For clarity, any activity that Seller believed in good faith is permissible under the Hatch-Waxman exemptions codified at 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(1) or other applicable defenses or safe harbors, or that Seller reasonably believes in good faith will be permissible thereunder, shall not be considered an infringing activity for purposes of this Section 4.06(h). There is no, and since the Reference Date there has been no, Action pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened against or affecting Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, or affecting the conduct of the Business as presently conducted (including the research, development and manufacture, as applicable, of any Company Product) (i) alleging that the use of any of the Intellectual Property Assets or any services provided, processes used or the Company Products manufactured, used, imported, offered for sale or sold by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries do or may conflict with, misappropriate, infringe, contribute to the infringement of or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property Right of any Person or (ii) alleging that Seller or any of its Subsidiaries have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Intellectual Property Right of any Person. Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries have received from any Person any offer to license any Intellectual Property Rights in connection with any actual or threatened claim of infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property Rights.

(i) There is no, and since the Reference Date there has been no Action pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened against or affecting Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, or affecting the conduct of the Businesses by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries as presently conducted (i) based upon, or challenging or seeking to deny or restrict, any right of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in any of the Intellectual Property Assets, or (ii) alleging that any of the Intellectual Property Assets is invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. To Seller’s

32

Knowledge, there is no information, materials, facts, or circumstances that would render any of the Intellectual Property Assets invalid or unenforceable, narrow or limit the scope of any Intellectual Property Asset, adversely affect any pending application for any of the Intellectual Property Asset, or adversely affect the ownership, patentability, registrability, validity, enforceability, scope, priority, term or value of any Intellectual Property Assets. To Seller’s Knowledge, there are no facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any such Action. Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries are subject to any outstanding or prospective Governmental Order (including any motion or petition therefor) that does or would reasonably be expected to restrict or impair the use of any Intellectual Property Assets. To Seller’s Knowledge, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has misrepresented, or failed to disclose, and there are no misrepresentations of or failure to disclose, any fact or circumstance in any application for any Intellectual Property Assets that would constitute fraud, inequitable conduct or a misrepresentation with respect to such application or that would otherwise affect the validity or enforceability of any such Intellectual Property Assets.

(j) None of the Intellectual Property Assets has been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or part, or in the case of pending Patent applications included in the Intellectual Property Assets, have been the subject of a final and non-appealable finding of unpatentability. All issued Patents, registered Trademarks and registered Copyrights included in the Intellectual Property Assets are, to Seller’s Knowledge, valid, enforceable, in full force and effect and subsisting in all material respects.

(k) To Seller’s Knowledge, none of the Intellectual Property Agreements has been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or part and no party to any Intellectual Property Agreement has asserted that any such Intellectual Property Agreement is invalid, unenforceable, terminated or subject to termination. All issued Patents, registered Trademarks and registered Copyrights included in the Intellectual Property Agreements are, to Seller’s Knowledge, valid, enforceable, in full force and effect and subsisting in all material respects, and neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or other communication challenging the ownership, validity, enforceability, scope, priority or rights of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries under any such Intellectual Property Rights.

(l) To Seller’s Knowledge, no Person has infringed, misappropriated, diluted, conflicted with or otherwise violated any Intellectual Property Asset or any Intellectual Property Right exclusively licensed to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an Intellectual Property Agreement and no facts or circumstances exist that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution, conflict or violation.

(m) Seller and its Subsidiaries have taken commercially reasonable actions in accordance with current industry practice to maintain the confidentiality of all Intellectual Property Assets, the value of which to Seller or its Subsidiaries is contingent upon maintaining the confidentiality thereof (including any Trade Secrets and confidential materials owned, used or held for use by Seller and its Subsidiaries), and no such Intellectual Property Assets have been disclosed, and access to such Intellectual Property Assets has not been provided to any Person, other than under written confidentiality

33

agreements that protect such Intellectual Property Assets. To Seller’s Knowledge, no Person, including Employee or Independent Contractor or agent of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, is in default or breach of any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement, or any confidentiality provisions of any employment agreement or other such agreement, with Seller or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the protection, ownership, development, use or transfer of any Intellectual Property Assets of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries.

(n) To the extent that any Intellectual Property Asset has been conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, developed, or created by a Third Party (including any current or former service provider) for Seller or a Subsidiary thereof, each such Third Party, as the case may be, has a valid, binding and enforceable written agreement with Seller with respect thereto pursuant to which such Third Party has agreed to hold all Intellectual Property Assets in confidence and to not use any such Intellectual Property Asset for any purpose other than for the benefit of Seller, and Seller thereby either (i) has obtained ownership of and is the exclusive owner of, or (ii) has obtained a valid and unrestricted right to exploit, sufficient for the conduct of the Business as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted, such Intellectual Property Asset. In each case where Seller or a Subsidiary thereof has acquired any Intellectual Property Rights from any Person (including any service provider), Seller has obtained a present, valid, binding and enforceable assignment sufficient to irrevocably transfer all right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property Rights to Seller, or ownership in such Intellectual Property Rights are vested in Seller pursuant to applicable Law. No current or former Employee or Independent Contractor or other Person involved in the conception, discovery, reduction to practice, development, manufacture, testing, analysis, validation or creation of any Intellectual Property Asset was or is subject to any obligation to any prior employer, university, institution, Governmental Authority or other Person that conflicts with or would reasonably be expected to impair the ownership of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, or Buyer’s rights in, any Intellectual Property Asset.

Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries have received written notice from any Person, and to Seller’s Knowledge, no Person has threatened or intends to terminate or adversely modify in any material respect Seller’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ rights under any Assigned Contract. To the Knowledge of Seller, no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under or a violation of any Assigned Contract or would cause the acceleration of any obligation of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or the creation of a Lien upon any Purchased Asset. Seller has delivered or made available to Buyer true, correct and complete copies of all of the Assigned Contracts, together with all amendments, modifications or supplements thereto.

In the event Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, wish to destroy such records, the relevant party shall first give twenty days’ prior written notice to the other party and such other party shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given within that twenty day period, to take possession of the records within thirty days after the date of such notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be permitted (unless otherwise required under Section 6.02(e)), without the prior written consent of Buyer, to make any commercially reasonable public announcement, press release, court filing, notice, or other public communication (each, a “Bankruptcy Disclosure”) that: (i) is required by the Bankruptcy Court, any Order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Bidding Procedures Order), or any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure; (ii) relates to the marketing of the Purchased Assets, the solicitation of Qualified Bids (as such term is defined in the Bidding Procedures), the Auction (if any) to be conducted pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order, the Bidding Procedures, the auction timeline or schedule, the Sale Hearing, or the deadline for submitting Qualified Bids, in each case solely as contemplated by or consistent with the proposed Bidding Procedures substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto and with the Bidding Procedures Order once entered by the Bankruptcy Court; or (iii) constitutes a filing with, notice or submission to or communication directed to the Bankruptcy Court or any party in interest in the Chapter 11 Case.

If requested by Buyer, Seller will transfer to Buyer the personnel records of any Employees who accept an offer of post-Closing employment with Buyer, except for such personnel records the disclosure of which would violate applicable Law.

Section 7.10 Wrong Pockets. If following the Closing either Buyer or Seller becomes aware that any of the Purchased Assets have not been transferred to Buyer or that any of the Excluded Assets have been transferred to Buyer, it shall promptly notify the other and the Parties shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, ensure that such property is transferred, at the expense of the party that is seeking the assets to be transferred to it, to (a) Buyer, in the case of any Purchased Assets which were not transferred to Buyer at or in connection with the Closing, or (b) Seller, in the case of any Excluded Assets which were transferred to Buyer at the Closing.

Section 7.11 No Successor Liability. The Parties intend that, except where expressly prohibited under applicable Law, upon the Closing, Buyer shall not be deemed to: (i) be the successor of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) have, de facto, or otherwise, merged with or into Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) be a mere continuation or substantial continuation of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or the enterprise(s) of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) be liable for any acts or omissions of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in the conduct of the Business or arising under or related to the Purchased Assets other than as set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Parties intend that Buyer shall not be liable for any Lien (other than Assumed Liabilities and Permitted Liens) against Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any of Seller’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ predecessors or Affiliates, and Buyer shall have no successor or vicarious liability of any kind or character whether known or unknown as of the Closing Date, whether now existing or hereafter arising, or whether fixed or contingent, with respect to the Business, the Purchased Assets or any Liabilities of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries arising prior to, or relating to any period occurring prior to, the Closing Date. The Parties agree that the provisions substantially in the form of this section shall be reflected in the Sale Order.

Section 7.13 Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any Transfer Taxes due with respect to the transactions contemplated herein. Seller shall, in good faith, and with the cooperative efforts of Buyer, attempt to obtain in the Sale Order an exemption from Transfer Taxes pursuant to Section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided, however, inclusion of such an exemption in the Sale Order is not a condition to Closing and a failure of the Sale Order to include such an exemption shall not be a breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.04 Termination Fee.

(a) (a) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.01(b), Section 9.01(c)(ii), Section 9.01(d), Section 9.01(e), Section 9.01(f), Section 9.01(h), Section 9.01(j), Section 9.01(k), Section 9.01(l), Section 9.01(m), Section 9.01(n), Section 9.01(o) or Section 9.01(p), then, in any such case, Seller shall pay to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days following such termination of this Agreement an amount equal to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Buyer in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, investigation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, any of the ancillary agreements, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the Chapter 11 Case and other judicial and regulatory proceedings related to such transactions) and the approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the foregoing, in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate (the “Expense Reimbursement”). In the event such termination is pursuant to Section 9.01(b), Section 9.01(c)(ii), Section 9.01(f)(ii), Section 9.01(h), Section 9.01(j), Section 9.01(k), Section 9.01(l), Section 9.01(m), Section 9.01(n), Section 9.01(o) or Section 9.01(p), then, in addition to the Expense Reimbursement, Seller shall pay to Buyer in cash an amount equal to four percent of the Closing Consideration (the “Termination Fee”). The claim of Buyer in respect of the Expense Reimbursement and the Termination Fee shall constitute a super-priority an administrative expense claim, senior to all other administrative expense claims of Seller, as administrative expenses under sections 503 and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in the Chapter 11 Case. The Termination Fee shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days following, as applicable (y) the consummation of a Competing Transaction and solely from the proceeds received by Seller at the closing of such Competing Transaction, or (z) in the event of termination pursuant to Section 9.01(p), upon the effective date of any Chapter 11 plan. If Seller fails to pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to either of the first two sentences of this Section 9.04(a), then (i) Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including disbursements and fees of counsel) incurred in the successful collection of such overdue amount, including in connection with any related Actions and (ii) Seller shall pay to Buyer interest on the applicable amount(s) payable pursuant to the first two sentences of this Section 9.04(a) from and including the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

59

(b) Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 9.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each of the parties further acknowledges that the payment by Seller of the Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement is not a penalty, but rather liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Buyer, together with any additional damages to which Buyer may be entitled hereunder, in the circumstances in which such Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement is payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Buyer’s receipt in full of the Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement, together with interest or collection expenses, if any, due and payable as provided herein, shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Buyer against Seller, and Seller shall have no further liability or obligation, under this Agreement or relating to or arising out of any such breach of this Agreement or failure to consummate the transactions contemplated herein. The obligation to pay the Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.04 will (i) be binding upon and enforceable against Seller immediately upon the Bankruptcy Court’s entering the Bidding Procedures Order, (ii) not be terminable or dischargeable thereafter for any reason, (iii) survive any subsequent conversion or dismissal or consolidation of the Chapter 11 Case and any plan of reorganization or liquidation in such case, and (iv) survive the subsequent termination of this Agreement by any means. The obligations to pay Buyer the Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement, as and when required under this Agreement, are intended to be, and upon entry of the Bidding Procedures Order are, binding upon (A) Seller, (B) any successors or assigns of Seller, (C) any trustee, examiner or other representative of Seller’s estate, (D) the reorganized Seller and (E) any other entity vested or revested with any right, title or interest in or to Seller, or any other Person claiming any rights in or control (direct or indirect) over Seller (each of (A) through (E), a “Successor”) as if such Successor were the Seller hereunder. The obligation of Seller to pay Buyer the Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement, as and when required under this Agreement, may not be discharged under Sections 1141 or 727 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise and may not be abandoned under Section 554 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may pursue (i) a grant of specific performance prior to the termination of this Agreement to cause the Closing and performance of this Agreement and (ii) concurrently pursue the payment of the Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement, but under no circumstances shall Buyer be permitted or entitled to receive both (A) the remedy of specific performance to cause the Closing and (B) the payment of the Termination Fee or Expense Reimbursement.
