ARTICLE I
DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

Section 1.1            Agreement to Purchase and Sell .

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, at the Closing, each of the Shareholders shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from each of the Shareholders, with full title guarantee, all right, title and interest in and to the Shares owned by such Shareholder, free and clear of all Liens and together with all rights that attach (or may in the future attach) to the Shares including, in particular, the right to receive all dividends and distributions declared, made or paid on or after the Closing Date.

(b)           Each Shareholder waives any rights of preemption or other restrictions on transfer in respect of the Shares (or any of them) conferred by the Company’s articles of association or otherwise and has, or shall procure, irrevocable consents from and irrevocable waivers of any such rights or restrictions conferred on any other person who is not a party to this Agreement, if any, and Dayspring further consents to the sale, assignment, transfer and delivery of all of the Shares to the Purchaser.

(c)          The Purchaser is not obliged to complete the purchase of any of the Shares unless the purchase of all the Shares is completed simultaneously.

Section 1.2            Issuance of Closing Shares and Payment of Closing Consideration .

(a)           At the Closing, subject to Section 1.7 , Sorrento shall issue the Closing Shares, free and clear of all Liens, and promptly thereafter deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative (for distribution to the Shareholders) book entry statements representing the Closing Shares in the name of each Shareholder, for such number of shares of Sorrento Common Stock as is equal to the product of the total number of Closing Shares multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the total number of Shares owned by such Shareholder as of immediately prior to the Closing by (B) the total number of Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (as set forth in the Consideration Certificate).

(b)           Within 30 days of the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay the Closing Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Shareholders’ Representative’s Account for distribution to the Shareholders based on each Shareholder’s pro rata ownership of the Shares immediately prior to the Closing, but the Purchaser shall not be concerned with such distribution and receipt of such sum in full in the Shareholders’ Representative’s Account shall be an effective discharge of the Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Closing Consideration.

(c)           At the Closing, the Shareholders shall transfer, grant, convey, sell and assign to the Purchaser with full title guarantee all of the issued Shares. At the Closing and thereafter, each Shareholder shall enter into and deliver to the Purchaser executed stock transfer forms to evidence such transfer and shall deliver to the Purchaser all physical original certificates evidencing all such Shares (or, in the case of any lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed certificates, an indemnity, in form satisfactory to the Purchaser).

Section 1.3            Net Debt Adjustment .

(a)           Exhibit B hereto (the “ Estimated Closing Statement ”) sets forth a calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price and the Company’s good faith estimate of the Net Debt, in each case, at and as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “ Estimated Net Debt ”), which have been prepared by the Company in accordance with FRS102 consistently applied and in accordance with the preparation of the Company Financial Statements.

(b)           As promptly as practicable, but no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Shareholders’ Representative a statement in substantially the same format utilized for the Estimated Closing Statement (the “ Proposed Final Closing Statement ”), which sets forth a calculation of the Final Purchase Price and the Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Net Debt, in each case, at and as of immediately prior to the Closing. The Proposed Final Closing Statement calculations shall be prepared by the Purchaser or its Representatives in accordance with FRS 102 consistently applied and in accordance with the preparation of the Company Financial Statements.

(c)           If the Shareholders’ Representative disagrees with the Proposed Final Closing Statement (or any portion thereof), then the Shareholders’ Representative may, within 45 days after delivery of the Proposed Final Closing Statement, deliver a written statement (the “ Statement of Objection ”) to the Purchaser disagreeing with such calculation that: (i) specifies the Shareholders’ Representative’s calculation of the Final Purchase Price, (ii) indicates each item or amount in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price disputed by the Shareholders’ Representative, and (iii) sets forth in detail the Shareholders’ Representative’s grounds for disputing each individual item or amount in the Proposed Final Closing Statement. The Shareholders’ Representative may only deliver one Statement of Objection to the Purchaser, and the Shareholders’ Representative shall not raise any disagreements with the Proposed Final Closing Statement other than the disagreements set forth in the Statement of Objection, nor shall the Shareholders’ Representative assert any claims that the value of any item or amount is greater or less than the value claimed in the Statement of Objection. Failure by the Shareholders’ Representative to deliver a Statement of Objection within such 45-day period shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by the Shareholders’ Representative of the Proposed Final Closing Statement, and shall be final and binding upon, and non-appealable by, the Purchaser, the Shareholders’ Representative and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholders.

(d)           If a Statement of Objection shall be delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.3(c) , the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall, during the 15 days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of the Final Purchase Price. If the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative are able to reach such agreement during such 15 day period, the Proposed Final Closing Statement, with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative, shall be final and binding upon, and non-appealable by, the Purchaser, the Shareholders’ Representative and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholders.

(e)           If the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative are unable to reach such agreement during such 15 day period, they shall promptly jointly retain a firm of independent accountants in the United Kingdom of internationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Shareholders’ Representative and the Purchaser (who shall not have any material relationship with the Shareholders’ Representative or the Purchaser) (the “ Accounting Referee ”) and cause the Accounting Referee promptly to review this Agreement, the Proposed Final Closing Statement, the Statement of Objection and such disputed amounts. The Accounting Referee shall be instructed to resolve such disputes within 60 days of retention of the Accounting Referee. The Accounting Referee shall address only those matters in dispute and may not allow a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth such calculation of the Final Purchase Price. Such report shall be final and binding upon, and non-appealable by, the Purchaser, the Shareholders’ Representative and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholders. The cost of such review and report shall be borne by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Shareholders (payable by the Shareholders’ Representative on their behalf), on the other, in inverse proportion as the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders), respectively, may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accounting Referee, which proportionate allocation shall also be determined by the Accounting Referee and be included in the Accounting Referee report.

(f)            The Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective independent accountants to, reasonably cooperate and assist in the preparation of the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price and the Final Purchase Price, including making reasonably available, to the extent necessary, books, records, work papers and personnel.

(g)           The term “ Final Closing Statement ” means, as applicable (i) the Proposed Final Closing Statement (including the final amounts contained therein) if the Shareholders’ Representative does not timely dispute such statement in accordance with Section 1.3(c) , (ii) if the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative reach an agreement on any disputed items in accordance with Section 1.3(d) , the Proposed Final Closing Statement with such changes as may be agreed in writing by the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative, or (iii) if the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative do not reach an agreement on any disputed items in accordance with Section 1.3(d) , the Final Closing Statement (including the final amounts contained therein) determined by the Accounting Referee after its resolution and determination of the disputed items reflected in its report, in accordance with Section 1.3(e) .

(h)           If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then the Shareholders’ Representative shall, within two Business Days from the date when the Final Closing Statement has become final, binding and non-appealable in accordance with this Section 1.3 , pay to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Purchaser the amount by which the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price (the “ Net Debt Surplus ”).

Section 1.4            Issuance of Non-Escrow Shares; Contingency Shares .

(a)           In the event a Qualified Financing occurs, then on the date of the closing of the Qualified Financing, subject to Section 1.7 , the Purchaser shall:

(i)             issue the Non-Escrow Shares, free and clear of all Liens, and promptly thereafter deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative (for distribution to the Shareholders) the stock certificates or book entry statements representing the Non-Escrow Shares in the name of each Shareholder, in each case, for such number of shares of Purchaser Stock as is equal to the product of the total number of Non-Escrow Shares multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the total number of Shares owned by such Shareholder as of immediately prior to the Closing by (B) the total number of Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing; and

(ii)            issue the Escrow Shares, free and clear of all Liens, and promptly thereafter deliver to the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement a stock certificate in the name of the Escrow Agent representing the Escrow Shares;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may deliver to the Escrow Agent one certificate representing the total number of shares of Purchaser Stock to be held in escrow pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)(ii) in lieu of issuing separate certificates representing such Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the Escrow Shares (such pro rata portion to be determined based on the amount of the Aggregate Consideration issuable and payable with respect to such Shareholder’s ownership of Shares, relative to the Aggregate Consideration issuable and payable with respect to all Shares). Any Escrow Shares and Non-Escrow Shares issued to the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 1.4(a) shall have the same preferences, privileges and other rights as the other shares of Purchaser Stock issued or sold in the Qualified Financing (or, if more than one class or series of shares are issued or sold, the most senior) and the Shareholders shall be entitled to the same contractual rights (including any registration or other liquidity-related rights) and the benefit of all representations and warranties of the Purchaser with respect to such shares of Purchaser Stock that are provided to other participants in the Qualified Financing (or, if more than one class or series of shares are issued or sold, the most senior).

(b)           In the event a Qualified Financing does not occur, then on the Financing Due Date (or, if later and following a dispute between the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative as to whether a Qualified Financing has occurred, on the date on which it has been determined that a Qualified Financing has not occurred), subject to Section 1.7 and Section 8.5(a) , Sorrento shall issue the Contingency Shares, free and clear of all Liens, and promptly thereafter deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative (for distribution to the Shareholders) the book entry statements representing the Contingency Shares in the name of each Shareholder, in each case, for such number of shares of Sorrento Common Stock as is equal to the product of the total number of Contingency Shares multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the total number of Shares owned by such Shareholder as of immediately prior to the Closing by (B) the total number of Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 1.5           Escrow . Upon the issuance of the Non-Escrow Shares in accordance with Section 1.4(a) , the Purchaser shall withhold the Escrow Shares and deliver such shares of Purchaser Stock to Wilmington Trust, N.A., as escrow agent (the “ Escrow Agent ”), to be held by the Escrow Agent as collateral to secure the rights of the Indemnified Parties under Article VIII . The Escrow Shares shall be held pursuant to the provisions of an escrow agreement to be entered into among the Purchaser, the Escrow Agent and the Shareholders’ Representative substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “ Escrow Agreement ”). The Escrow Shares will be held by the Escrow Agent until the Financing Due Date (the “ Escrow Period ”); provided, however, that in the event any Indemnified Party has made a claim pursuant to Article VIII prior to the end of the Escrow Period, then, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent will continue to hold such number of Escrow Shares in escrow as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (a) any claimed amounts by (b) the Per Share Price, rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Escrow Period shall continue solely with respect to such Escrow Shares until such claim is fully and finally resolved pursuant to this Agreement. By virtue of the execution of this Agreement by a Shareholder, without any further act of any Shareholder, such Shareholder shall be deemed to have consented to and approved (i) the use of the Escrow Shares as collateral to secure the rights of the Indemnified Parties under Article VIII in the manner set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) the appointment of the Shareholders’ Representative as the representative of the Shareholders under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of such Shareholder.

(2)           if, before the Purchaser is due to pay the Regulatory Approval Consideration, the Purchaser has completed its first public offering of its shares of common stock under the Securities Act, issuing the Purchaser Regulatory Approval Shares and there is a reasonable prospect that such shares may be sold in the ordinary course of business at fair market value to a willing buyer within 30 days of delivery to the Shareholders, free and clear of all Liens, and delivering to the Shareholders’ Representative (for distribution to the Shareholders) the stock certificates representing the Purchaser Regulatory Approval Shares in the name of each Shareholder, in each case, for such number of shares of Purchaser’s common stock as is equal to the product of the total number of Purchaser Regulatory Approval Shares multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the total number of Shares owned by such Shareholder as of immediately prior to the Closing by (B) the total number of Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing; or

(3)          delivering to the Shareholders’ Representative (for distribution to the Shareholders) the stock certificates representing Other Regulatory Approval Shares, free and clear of all Liens, in the name of each Shareholder, in each case, for such number of shares as is equal to the product of the total number of Other Regulatory Approval Shares multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the total number of Shares owned by such Shareholder as of immediately prior to the Closing by (B) the total number of Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing.

The book entry statements or certificates, as the case may be, representing Sorrento Common Stock, Purchaser Stock or Other Regulatory Approval Shares, as the case may be, to be delivered to a Shareholder shall, in each case, represent only whole shares of the relevant stock.

(d)           Cooperation on Tax Matters .

(f)            Tax Claims. The Purchaser and Company, on the one hand, and the Shareholders and Shareholders’ Representative, on the other hand, shall promptly notify each other upon receipt by such party of written notice of any inquiries, claims, actions, assessments, or similar proceedings or events with respect to Taxes of the Company relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “ Tax Matter ”). Purchaser shall assume the defense of and have the responsibility for, and the right to control, any Tax Matter, provided that the Shareholders’ Representative shall have the right to participate, at the Shareholders’ Representative’s own expense, and Purchaser shall not settle or otherwise dispose of any Tax Matter without the consent of the Shareholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 6.3            Accounts and Notes Receivable . From and after the Closing, if any Shareholder receives or collects any Receivables, the Shareholder shall remit any such amounts to the Purchaser or the Company within five Business Days of each day on which the Shareholder receives such sum.

Section 6.5            Release . In consideration for the Closing Shares and the Closing Consideration, and by executing this Agreement, as of and following the Closing Date, each Shareholder knowingly, voluntarily and unconditionally releases, forever discharges, and covenants not to sue the Company from or for any and all claims, causes of action, demands, suits, debts, obligations, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of every kind or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, actual or potential, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, that such Shareholder has or may have, now or in the future, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any act or omission, error, negligence, breach of contract, tort, violation of law, matter or cause whatsoever from the beginning of time to the Closing Date, including any claim related to Company Rights held by such Shareholder that are terminated as of the Closing; provided, however , that the foregoing release shall not apply to any claims arising out of this Agreement, the Shareholder Related Agreements, or claims as an employee or otherwise unrelated to a Shareholder’s status as an equity holder of the Company.

Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

Each Shareholder acknowledges that any claims such Shareholder may have against the Company are fully settled and compromised by this Agreement, and such Shareholder expressly waives all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any other similar provision of law insofar as it would otherwise apply to the specific release given in this Section 6.5 . Such Shareholder thus acknowledges that he may discover facts in addition to or different from those that he now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this release, but that it is his intention to fully and finally settle and release any and all claims released hereby, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which now exist, or heretofore existed, or may hereafter exist, and without regard to subsequent discovery or existence of such additional or different facts. Such Shareholder acknowledges that the release of unknown claims was separately bargained for, constitutes separate consideration for, and was a key element of the Agreement and was relied upon by the Purchaser in entering into the Agreement.

Section 6.6            Removal of Restrictive Legends . Without limiting Sorrento’s obligations pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Sorrento covenants and agrees that from and after the date which is six months after the Closing Date, upon request by any Shareholder that is not an Affiliate of Sorrento to transfer any shares of Sorrento Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144, upon receipt of a representation letter from such Shareholder and such Shareholder’s broker and such other documentation as may be reasonably requested by Sorrento, Sorrento’s transfer agent or Sorrento’s counsel in connection with rendering a Rule 144 opinion to Sorrento’s transfer agent in connection therewith, Sorrento shall remove (or cause to be removed) restrictive legends from book entry statements representing the Sorrento Common Stock and issue new book entry statements representing the Sorrento Common Stock without restrictive legends (including issuing appropriate instructions to Sorrento’s transfer agent to remove such legends, issue unlegended shares and remove such shares from any stop transfer list).

Section 6.7            Operation of the Purchaser’s Business .

(a)           Between the Closing Date and the earlier to occur of the Financing Due Date and the closing of a Qualified Financing, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) continue the Purchaser’s operations, and (ii) maintain the Company’s business and technology (including by providing adequate working capital therefor, as determined by the Purchaser using its commercially reasonable judgment); provided that nothing in this Section 6.7(a) shall limit or impair the authority of the Purchaser’s Board of Directors or management from taking actions or making decisions that they determine to be in the best interests of the Purchaser’s stockholders or that they believe are appropriate to comply with their fiduciary duties or other applicable Law.

(b)           After the Closing Date, subject to applicable Law, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, promptly make the Seprehvir product and any enhancements, combinations or derivatives thereof available as requested for compassionate use to the Shareholders, any Related Party and their respective families and close friends.

Section 6.8            Staff Incentive Scheme .

(a)           After the Closing Date and subject to Section 6.8(h) , the Purchaser covenants and agrees that, subject to applicable Law, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to maintain the Staff Incentive Scheme pursuant to the Staff Incentive Scheme Rules.

(b)           The Shareholders have agreed that, upon issuance of the Closing Shares, 6% of the Closing Shares deliverable to the Shareholders’ Representative for distribution to the Shareholders (net of certain deductions as specified in the Staff Incentive Scheme Rules) shall be held by the Shareholders’ Representative for the purposes of the Staff Incentive Scheme (the “Closing Incentive Shares”).

(c)           The Shareholders have agreed that: (i) in the event a Qualified Financing occurs, (A) upon issuance of the Non-Escrow Shares, 6% of the Non-Escrow Shares deliverable to the Shareholders’ Representative for distribution to the Shareholders (net of certain deductions as specified in the Staff Incentive Scheme Rules) shall be held by the Shareholders’ Representative for the purposes of the Staff Incentive Scheme (the “Non-Escrow Incentive Shares”), (B) upon release of the Escrow Shares from escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, 6% of the Escrow Shares deliverable to the Shareholders’ Representative for distribution to the Shareholders (net of certain deductions as specified in the Staff Incentive Scheme Rules) shall be held by the Shareholders’ Representative for the purposes of the Staff Incentive Scheme (the “Escrow Incentive Shares”); and (ii) in the event a Qualified Financing does not occur, upon issuance of the Contingency Shares, 6% of the Contingency Shares deliverable to the Shareholders’ Representative for distribution to the Shareholders (net of certain deductions as specified in the Staff Incentive Scheme Rules) shall be held by the Shareholders’ Representative for the purposes of the Staff Incentive Scheme (the “Contingency Incentive Shares” and, together with the Closing Incentive Shares, the Non-Escrow Incentive Shares and the Escrow Incentive Shares, the “Incentive Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Closing Incentive Shares, Non-Escrow Incentive Shares, Escrow Incentive Shares or Contingency Incentive Shares have been sold by the Shareholders’ Representative in accordance with Section 6.8(d), such shares remain subject to the offset mechanism in Section 8.5(a) to satisfy any Loss for which the Shareholders may be liable under Article VIII.

(d)           Once any Incentive Shares are free from any restrictions on marketability, the Shareholders’ Representative will sell those Incentive Shares and the proceeds of sale of each category of Incentive Shares shall be a bonus pool available under the Staff Incentive Scheme (together the “ Bonus Pools ” and each a “ Bonus Pool ”).

(e)           The Purchaser, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative agree that the Shareholders’ Representative has the right to make a recommendation to the Company to make awards from each Bonus Pool to participants in the Staff Incentive Scheme. The Shareholders’ Representative agrees that a recommendation may only be made at the same time in respect of the whole of each Bonus Pool. The Shareholders’ Representative further agrees with the Purchaser and the Company that any recommendation will be decided reasonably, in a non-discriminatory manner which fairly reflects the contributions of each participant towards achieving the objectives set out in the Staff Incentive Scheme Rules and in accordance with applicable Law. Before making any recommendation, the Shareholders’ Representative agrees that it will consult with the Purchaser as to the proposed grant of awards and the amount of deductions required in connection with them as envisaged by Section 6.8(g) and will give the Purchaser reasonable opportunity to make representations in relation to the grant of awards under the Staff Incentive Scheme and will consider any representations made by the Purchaser in its recommendation to the Company.

(f)            Following any recommendation made by the Shareholders’ Representative in accordance with Section 6.8(e) , the Company will consider that recommendation in good faith and will send to Dayspring a schedule (the “ Bonus Schedule ”) setting out the awards from that Bonus Pool which it is willing to make to participants in the Staff Incentive Scheme. The Purchaser and the Company agree that any awards set out in the Bonus Schedule will be decided reasonably, in a non-discriminatory manner which fairly reflects the contributions of each participant towards achieving the objectives set out in the Staff Incentive Scheme Rules and in accordance with applicable Law. If the Bonus Schedule reflects the Shareholders’ Representative’s recommendation or if the Shareholders’ Representative otherwise accepts the Bonus Schedule, within five Business Days of receipt of the Bonus Schedule, the Shareholders’ Representative will transfer sufficient cash amounts to the Company as required to make the payments shown on the Bonus Schedule, the deductions envisaged by Section 6.8(g) and to enable the Company to pay all employer’s national insurance and employer’s pension contributions that are required to be made by the Company by applicable Law in connection with the payments to be made under the Staff Incentive Scheme (the “ Bonus Funding ”). On the next payroll date falling at least five Business Days after the receipt by the Company of the Bonus Funding, the Company shall pay the awards to the participants in the Staff Incentive Scheme in accordance with the Bonus Schedule.

(g)           In making payments to participants in the Staff Incentive Scheme, the Company shall be entitled to deduct from the amount of any such payment any tax-related deductions required to be made by the Company by applicable Law (including personal income tax, employee’s national insurance, social security and/or pension contributions for which each respective participant in the Staff Incentive Scheme is liable). The Purchaser and the Company agree to comply with applicable Law with respect to any tax-related deductions from the amount of any such payment by the Shareholders’ Representative in accordance with this Section 6.8(g) .

(h)           The Purchaser may, at any time, direct the Company to terminate the Share Incentive Scheme. The Shareholders’ Representative may only terminate the Staff Incentive Scheme by notice in writing to the Purchaser given within ten Business Days of receipt of a Bonus Schedule if the Shareholders’ Representative disagrees with the proposed allocations set out in that Bonus Schedule. Within ten Business Days of any termination of the Share Incentive Scheme, the Company shall transfer to the Shareholders’ Representative’s Account the amount of any Bonus Pool or any other amounts paid by the Shareholders’ Representative to the Company to pay awards to the participants in the Staff Incentive Scheme that has not been paid to participants in the Share Incentive Scheme and any amounts deducted from any such payments in accordance with Section 6.8(g) or which represent employer’s national insurance and employer’s pension contributions in respect of payments made to participants in the Staff Incentive Scheme, and the Shareholder’s Representative shall distribute such amounts to the Shareholders based on each Shareholder’s pro rata ownership of the Shares immediately prior to the Closing, but the Purchaser shall not be concerned with such distribution and receipt of such sum in full in the Shareholders’ Representative’s Account shall be an effective discharge of the Purchaser’s obligation under this Section 6.8(h) .

Section 6.9            Banking Arrangements . The Shareholders’ Representative shall procure that:

(a)           from the Closing Date until the earlier of the date on which such accounts are closed or the 60th day after the Closing Date, (i) no signatory to any of the Company’s bank accounts with The Royal Bank of Scotland in existence as at Closing (each, a “ Bank Account ”) shall take any action with respect to any Bank Account (including authorizing any payment therefrom), nor shall there be any variation to the identity of such authorized signatories, without the Purchaser’s prior written approval and (ii) each signatory to the Bank Accounts shall act in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions (including in relation to the closing of any such accounts); and

Section 8.2            Indemnification Procedure .

(a)           Promptly following receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice by a third-party (including any Governmental Body) of any complaint, dispute or claim or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (a “ Third-Party Claim ”), or upon realization of a Loss by an Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII , such Indemnified Party shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the party or parties obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII (the “ Indemnifying Party ”), stating the claim, the aggregate amount thereof and the basis thereof; provided, however , that the failure to so promptly notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under this Article VIII with respect to such Third-Party Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party materially prejudices the rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim. Such written notice of a Third-Party Claim shall include a description (and a copy of all pleadings and correspondence to or from any third party related thereto, if available) of the Third-Party Claim and any other information that the Indemnified Party deems appropriate. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice from the Indemnifying Party delivered to the Indemnified Party within 10 days thereafter assuming full responsibility for any Losses resulting from such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim that (i) affects any Company Intellectual Property, (ii) is asserted directly by or on behalf of any Person that is a supplier or a customer of the Company, the Indemnified Party or their Affiliates, (iii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, (iv) involves a finding of any violation of Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, the Company or their Affiliates, (v)  relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, or (vi) does not seek only monetary damages and, in the case of this clause (vi), the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third-Party Claim would be detrimental to or materially injure the reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnified Party . In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim on the terms of this Section 8.2(a) or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such 10 day period, or thereafter defaults in continuing to defend the Indemnified Party, then any Losses shall include the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnified Party as incurred. In addition, Losses shall include, as incurred, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnified Party: (A) that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense, (B) if the Indemnified Party employs separate counsel due to the Indemnified Party being advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, (C) if the Indemnified Party employs separate counsel because there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (D) if the Indemnified Party employs separate counsel because such audit, investigation, action or proceeding involves, or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on, any matter beyond the scope of the indemnification or defense obligations of the Indemnifying Party.

(b)           In any Third-Party Claim for which indemnification is being sought under this Article VIII , the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter, the defense of which it is maintaining, and to cooperate in good faith with the other party with respect to the defense of any such matter.

(c)           No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought under this Article VIII without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume and maintain diligently the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or fails to reimburse the Indemnified Party within 30 days for expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending itself against any Third-Party Claim in the circumstance where the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party or as required under the last sentence of Section 8.2(a) or, having assumed the defense, thereafter defaults in pursuing such defense, or (ii) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of, or related to, such Third-Party Claim without further actual or potential monetary liability to the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought under this Article VIII unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of, or related to, such Third-Party Claim, (B) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (C) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.

(d)           In the event an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Loss or other matter not involving a Third-Party Claim (a “ Direct Claim ”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly send written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party (a “ Notice of Claim ”). Such Notice of Claim shall specify the basis for such Direct Claim and the aggregate amount thereof. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so promptly notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party with respect to any Direct Claim made pursuant to this Section 8.2(d) only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to so promptly notify the Indemnifying Party materially prejudices the rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Direct Claim. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 10 days following its receipt of such Notice of Claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes the Indemnifying Parties’ liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII or the amount thereof, the Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Notice of Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII , and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim (or any portion of the Direct Claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Direct Claim (or such portion of such Direct Claim) becomes finally determined, in each case, with such payment to be rendered pursuant to the offset mechanism in accordance with Section 8.5(a) . In the event the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such Direct Claim as provided in this Section 8.2(d) , as promptly as reasonably practicable, such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of such Direct Claim (by mutual agreement, litigation or otherwise) and, within five Business Days following the final determination of the merits and amount of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in accordance with the offset mechanism pursuant to Section 8.5(a) an amount equal to such Direct Claim as determined pursuant to this Section 8.2(d) . If a dispute exists as to the amount of any Direct Claim, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all legal and other fees paid in asserting or defending such Direct Claim, as the case may be (which legal and other fees, if owed by the Shareholders, shall be payable pursuant to the offset mechanism pursuant to Section 8.5(a) ).

(e)           For all purposes of this Section 8.2 , if the Shareholders are the Indemnifying Party, then the Notice of Claim shall be delivered to the Shareholders’ Representative.

(f)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall not apply to any Third-Party Claims relating to Taxes.

Section 8.3            Survival Period . Any claim (whether such claim is framed in tort, contract or otherwise, but other than claims arising from fraud or willful misrepresentation on the part of a party to this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall survive the Closing for, and all claims in connection therewith shall be asserted not later than 18 months from the Closing Date ; provided, however , that:

(a)           claims in respect of each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.9 (Taxes), and the Tax Indemnity, shall survive until the date falling 90 days following the date of expiration of the period which, under the applicable Laws of the jurisdiction in which the relevant Tax giving rise to the Tax liability is payable, the relevant Tax Authority may bring an action, claim or proceeding relating to that Tax liability;

(b)           claims in respect of each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.13 (Residence) shall survive until the date falling 90 days following the date of expiration of the period which, under the applicable Laws of the jurisdiction in which the relevant liability arises, any Person may bring an action, claim or proceeding relating to that liability;

(c)           claims in respect of each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.4(b) (No Conflict), Section 2.4(c) (Required Filings and Consents), Section 2.12 (Intellectual Property), Section 2.15 (Environmental Matters), Section 2.16 (Employee Matters), Section 2.17 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 2.18 (Pensions), Section 2.28 (Related Party Transactions), Section 2.34 (Regulatory Filings), Section 3.1(b) (No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents)), shall survive until the second anniversary of the Closing Date;

(d)           claims in respect of each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Section 2.2 (Capitalization), Section 2.3 (Subsidiaries), Section 2.4(a) (Authority), Section 2.21 (Brokerage and Transaction Bonuses), Section 3.1(a) (Authority), Section 3.2 (Ownership; Title to Shares) and Section 3.5 (Brokerage) (collectively, the “ Fundamental Representations ”), shall survive until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date; and

(e)           claims under paragraph 1 of Schedule 8.1(a) (Staff Incentive Scheme) shall survive until the later of (i) 31 December 2019 or (ii) 12 months after the expiry or termination of the Staff Incentive Scheme.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last Business Day a claim for indemnification may be asserted under this Article VIII , the Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified in writing of a claim for indemnity under this Article VIII and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of as of such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity under this Article VIII until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All agreements and covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement to be performed after the Closing shall continue in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 8.4            Investigations . The respective representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document delivered by any party at or prior to the Closing and the rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VIII shall not be deemed waived or otherwise affected by any investigation made, or Knowledge acquired, by a party.

Section 8.5            Offset; Limitations on Liability .

(a)           The Purchaser shall be entitled to set-off any amount or right it may be entitled to pursuant to this Agreement against any amount, right or obligations owed to any Shareholder under this Agreement or any Shareholder Related Agreement; provided , however , that in the event any Indemnified Party shall suffer any Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII , such Indemnified Party shall only be entitled to recover such Losses by: first, offsetting such Losses against any Escrow Shares which have not been released from escrow until the Escrow Shares are wholly exhausted and, thereafter, any remaining portion of such Loss shall be satisfied, at the election of the Indemnifying Party, but subject to Section 8.5(b) , (x) by offsetting such Losses against the amount of the Non-Escrow Shares or Contingency Shares to be delivered to the Shareholders’ Representative for the benefit of such Indemnifying Party, provided, however , that if an Indemnified Party in good faith has given written notice of a Third-Party Claim containing a claim which has not been resolved in full prior to the date on which the Purchaser would otherwise be required to procure the issue of the Contingency Shares, Sorrento shall not be required to issue an amount of Contingency Shares equal to the amount described in each such written notice of a Third-Party Claim, up to the total number of Contingency Shares, until such resolution has taken place, whereupon Sorrento shall issue an amount of Contingency Shares equal to the amount of the claim not resolved in the Indemnified Party’s favor, (y) if the Indemnifying Party holds any shares of Purchaser Stock (whether Non-Escrow Shares that have been issued and delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(a)(i) or Escrow Shares that have been released from escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement) or Contingency Shares, in each case, that are not free from restrictions on marketability at the time when indemnification under this Article VIII is due, by transferring to the Purchaser (or its designee) a number of such shares of Purchaser Stock or Contingency Shares, as the case may be, held by such Indemnifying Party (or any designee thereof), in each case, with an aggregate value equal to the applicable Indemnifying Party’s share of the Losses, calculated by reference to the Per Share Price; or (z) if the Indemnifying Party holds any shares of Purchaser Stock (whether Non-Escrow Shares that have been issued and delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(a)(i) or Escrow Shares that have been released from escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement) or Contingency Shares, in each case, that are free from restrictions on marketability at the time when indemnification under this Article VIII is due, by transferring to the Purchaser (or its designee) a number of such shares of Purchaser Stock or Contingency Shares, as the case may be, held by such Indemnifying Party (or any designee thereof), in each case, with an aggregate value equal to the applicable Indemnifying Party’s share of the Losses, calculated by reference to (1) in the case of shares of Purchaser Stock, the closing price per share of the Purchaser Stock, as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market (or other principal stock exchange or securities market on which such shares are then listed or quoted or dealt in) as of the time at which such shares of Purchaser Stock have been issued and are freely tradeable or (2) in the case of Contingency Shares, the closing price per share of the Sorrento Common Stock, as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market as of the time at which such shares of Sorrento Common Stock have been issued and are freely tradeable, in each case together with, to the extent necessary in order to satisfy its indemnification obligations under this Article VIII , all cash proceeds from previous sales of shares or stock delivered to the Indemnifying Party as consideration under this Agreement and the Indemnifying Party’s share of the Closing Consideration; provided , further , however , that the Indemnifying Party shall at its absolute discretion be entitled to pay for any Losses directly instead of subjecting any shares of Purchaser Stock or Contingency Shares to the offset mechanism set forth in this Section 8.5(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of the date that an Indemnified Party is entitled to offset Losses pursuant to this Article VIII , the Escrow Shares have not yet been delivered to the Escrow Agent, then the amount of Escrow Shares to be delivered to the Escrow Agent shall be reduced by the value of such Losses (or, if applicable, the amount of the Non-Escrow Shares or Contingency Shares to be delivered to the Shareholders’ Representative for the benefit of that Indemnifying Party shall be reduced thereby).

(b)           At any time prior to the Company’s discharge of its obligation to pay the Regulatory Approval Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6 , subject at all times to the other limitations pursuant to the other terms of this Article VIII , the Purchaser shall at its absolute discretion be entitled to offset any Losses, to the extent the Indemnified Parties have not been indemnified pursuant to this Article VIII , against its obligation to pay the Regulatory Approval Consideration up to a maximum of 80% of the Regulatory Approval Consideration.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i)            in no event shall the aggregate amount of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Article VIII exceed, on a cumulative basis, 80% of the Realized Purchase Price (and in no event shall the aggregate amount of the indemnification obligation of a Shareholder pursuant to this Article VIII exceed, on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to that portion of 80% of the Realized Purchase Price to which such Shareholder is entitled based on its Consideration Percentage);

(ii)            in no event shall the aggregate amount of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Parties for Losses resulting from the Tax Indemnity or any inaccuracy or breach of the Fundamental Representations or the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.9 (Taxes) pursuant to this Article VIII exceed, on a cumulative basis, 80% of the Realized Purchase Price (and in no event shall the aggregate amount of the indemnification obligation of a Shareholder for Losses resulting from the Tax Indemnity or any inaccuracy or breach of the Fundamental Representations pursuant to this Article VIII exceed, on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to that portion of 80% of the Realized Purchase Price to which such Shareholder is entitled based on its Consideration Percentage);

(iii)           except for Losses resulting from the Tax Indemnity or any inaccuracy or breach of any applicable Fundamental Representation, in no event shall the aggregate amount of claims against the Shareholders (whether such claims are framed in tort, contract or otherwise) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to 40% of the Realized Purchase Price (and in no event shall the aggregate amount of the indemnification obligation of a Shareholder for such Losses exceed, on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to that portion of 40% of the Realized Purchase Price to which such Shareholder is entitled based on its Consideration Percentage);

provided , however , that (A) the foregoing limitations in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall not apply in cases of fraud or willful misrepresentation on the part of the Company or any of the Shareholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (B) in no event shall any Shareholder be liable for any other Shareholder’s breach of any representation or warranty made by such other Shareholder in Article II or Article III or pursuant to any Shareholder Related Agreement.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no indemnification claims for Losses shall be asserted by the Indemnified Parties under Section 8.1(a)(i) , Section 8.1(a)(ix ) or Section 8.1(d) , respectively, unless (i) any individual Loss or group or series of related Losses exceeds $10,000 (such Loss or group or series of related Losses that does not exceed $10,000, the “ De Minimis Losses ”), and (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses that would otherwise be payable under Section 8.1(a)(i) and Section 8.1(d) (which shall not include for such purposes De Minimis Losses), exceeds $150,000 (the “ Basket Amount ”), whereupon the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive amounts for all such Losses; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in cases of (i) a claim under the Tax Indemnity; and (ii) fraud or willful misrepresentation on the part of the Indemnifying Party. For the purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty has been breached or is inaccurate and for calculating the amount of any Losses incurred in connection with:

(i)            any breach of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or any similar qualification (other than a qualification as to Company Material Adverse Effect), any individual Loss or group or series of related Losses that exceeds $10,000 shall be deemed to be material and the whole amount of such Loss or Losses shall be recoverable, unless a different amount is explicitly set forth in the applicable representation or warranty;

(ii)            any breach of a representation or warranty qualified by reference to a Company Material Adverse Effect, any individual Loss or group or series of related Losses that exceeds $150,000 shall be deemed to give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 8.6           No Duplication of Recovery . Any amounts payable pursuant to this Article VIII shall be paid without duplication ( e.g., if an Indemnified Party is reimbursed for Losses, another Indemnified Party may not be reimbursed for the same Losses to the extent of the reimbursement amount received by such first Indemnified Party), and in no event shall any Indemnified Party be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for the same Losses.

Section 8.7            Net Losses . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses for which an Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be reduced to the extent of (a) any insurance proceeds that the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates actually receives with respect to such Losses (net of any out-of-pocket costs of collection and increases in premiums attributable to the claim), and (b) any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates as a cash reduction in Taxes payable in the year such Losses are incurred in connection with such Losses or the events or circumstances giving rise to such Losses. Each Indemnified Party shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such proceeds, benefits and recoveries. Notwithstanding the foregoing but without prejudice to the Purchaser’s ability to recover from the Shareholders and without requiring the Purchaser to take any such steps before seeking recovery from the Shareholders, unless the Indemnifying Party agrees otherwise in writing the Purchaser shall (and shall cause the Company to) use commercially reasonable efforts to make and pursue claims for Losses under (i) the run off coverage under the Company’s clinical trial insurance policies obtained and paid for prior to the date hereof in the United Kingdom and (ii) the Company’s clinical trial insurance policies obtained and paid prior to the date hereof in the United States (or any replacement thereof), including the run off coverage relating thereto (collectively, the “ Clinical Trial Policies ”), and not knowingly and voluntarily take any steps outside the ordinary course of business to revoke, cancel or reduce the coverage under the Clinical Trial Policies except where not taking such steps could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party must fund in advance any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Purchaser and/or the Company in pursuing the insurer and further indemnify the Purchaser and the Company for any Loss incurred as a result. If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by an Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Losses after payment has been made to the Indemnified Party with respect thereto (whether directly or by off-set pursuant to Section 8.5(a)), the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay back, or cause its appropriate Affiliates to pay back, the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries (up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses, subject to the limitations herein) to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 8.8            Exclusive Remedy . From and after Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all claims (whether such claim is framed in tort, contract or otherwise, but other than claims arising from fraud on the part of a party to this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or the Shareholders set forth herein or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Purchaser and Sorrento, on their own behalf and on behalf of each other Indemnified Party, hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement it may have against the other parties and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any applicable Law or in equity, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement. Any payment made to the Indemnified Parties by set off pursuant to Section 8.5(a) on behalf of (or for the benefit of) the Shareholders pursuant to this Article VIII shall constitute full satisfaction of any obligation of the Shareholders to make such payment to the Indemnified Parties. Nothing in this Section 8.8 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 10.14 .

Section 8.9            Characterization of Indemnification Payments . The Purchaser and the Shareholders agree to treat any payment made under this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Aggregate Consideration.

A waiver by any party to this Agreement of the performance of any act shall not constitute a waiver of the performance of any other act or an identical act required to be performed at a later time. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered or supplemented except by written agreement between the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative; provided , however , that the provisions of Sections 1.2(a) , 1.4(b) , 1.6 , 1.7 , 6.6 , 6.8 , 7.4 and 8.5(a) and Articles V and X may not be amended without the consent of Sorrento.

Section 10.4         Entire Agreement .

Section 10.6          Governing Law; Venue .

(a)           This Agreement and the relationship of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of California.

(b)          Any claim or dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, including disputes related to the validity, interpretation or enforcement of any provision this Agreement shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ ICC Rules ”) by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules and the provisions of Section 10.6(c) . The place of arbitration shall be San Diego, California. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

(c)           The party to this Agreement that initiates the arbitration process (the “ Claimant ”) shall appoint an arbitrator in its request for arbitration (the “ Request ”). The other party to this Agreement (or the other parties to this Agreement, acting jointly, if there are more than one) that is a party to the arbitration (the “ Respondent ”) shall appoint an arbitrator within 30 days of receipt of the Request and shall notify the Claimant of such appointment in writing. If within 30 days of receipt of the Request by the Respondent, either the Claimant or the Respondent has not appointed an arbitrator, then that arbitrator shall be appointed by the Court of Arbitration of the ICC. The first two arbitrators appointed in accordance with this Section 10.6(c) shall appoint a third arbitrator within 30 days after the Respondent has notified the Claimant of the appointment of the Respondent’s arbitrator or, in the event of a failure by a party to appoint an arbitrator, within 30 days after the Court of Arbitration of the ICC has notified the parties and any arbitrator already appointed of the appointment of an arbitrator on behalf of the party failing to appoint an arbitrator. When the third arbitrator has accepted the appointment, the two arbitrators making the appointment shall promptly notify the parties of the appointment. If the first two arbitrators appointed fail to appoint a third arbitrator or to so notify the parties within the time period prescribed above, then the Court of Arbitration of the ICC shall appoint the third arbitrator and shall promptly notify the parties of the appointment. The third arbitrator shall act as chairperson of the arbitration.

(d)           The arbitral tribunal shall render an award within six months from the date of the appointment of the arbitral tribunal, unless the parties to this Agreement otherwise agree in writing or the arbitral tribunal determines that an extension is necessary. The arbitral award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding upon, and non-appealable by, the parties to this Agreement. The award may include an award of costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitral tribunal shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including, but not limited to, an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that any of them may seek equitable relief, including, but not limited to, an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction, but that the final resolution of any disputes will be settled solely by the arbitral tribunal.

(e)           The arbitral tribunal shall not be empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover special, punitive or exemplary damages or lost profits (and, in particular, no “multiple of profits,” “multiple of earnings” or “multiple of cash flow” or similar valuation methodology shall be used in calculating the amount of any damages) with respect to any dispute, except insofar as a claim is for indemnification for an award of such damages awarded against a party in an action brought against it by an independent third party. The arbitral tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at commercial rates. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.

(f)            The arbitral tribunal, in its discretion, may consolidate two or more arbitrations or claims between any of the parties to this Agreement arising under this Agreement or any other agreement among the parties to this Agreement into one arbitration, or terminate any such consolidation and/or establish other arbitration proceedings for different claims that may arise in any one arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitral tribunal shall consolidate arbitrations and/or claims, if it determines that it would be more efficient to consolidate such arbitrations and/or claims than to continue them separately and (i) there are matters of fact or law that are common to the arbitrations and/or claims to be consolidated, (ii) there are related payment and performance obligations considered in the arbitrations and/or claims to be consolidated, or (iii) there is a danger of inconsistent awards.

(g)           The arbitral tribunal shall render any monetary award and interest related to such award in United States Dollars.

(h)           The parties to this Agreement agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, but not limited to, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, the ICC, the parties, their counsel and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as may be lawfully required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise, or as required by the rules of any other quotation system or exchange on which the disclosing party’s securities are listed or applicable Laws.

(i)            The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the losing party unless otherwise determined by the arbitration award.

(j)            Each party to this Agreement agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such dispute that any claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the interpretation or performance of this Agreement is not subject to the jurisdiction of the arbitrators or that this Agreement may not be enforced by the arbitrators.

Section 10.7         WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL . EACH OF THE PARTIES OF THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 10.8         Attorneys’ Fees. If any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement is brought against any party to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled).

Section 10.9         Assignment and Successors . No party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties to this Agreement.

Section 10.10      Parties in Interest .
