1.4 Conveyance Documents; Warranty. Seller and Parent will deliver to Buyer such assignments and other instruments of conveyance and transfer as are necessary or desirable to vest in Buyer all rights, title and interest of Seller in and to the Purchased Assets. Seller and Parent each do hereby covenant and agree that each of them will (a) warrant and defend the sale of the Purchased Assets against all persons or entities claiming or making claim against any or all of the same, and (b) take all steps necessary to put Buyer, its successors or assigns, in actual ownership, possession and operating control of the Assets, free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, security interests, conditional sales agreements, operating or capital leases, charges, encumbrances, and other adverse claims or interest of any kind or nature. Each of Seller and Parent hereby acknowledge and agree that it shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to consummate Closing that Seller and Parent shall have delivered, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer all executed documentation required to vest ownership in Buyer, and put Buyer in actual possession of and operating control of, the Purchased Assets (including the Transferred Intellectual Property). In the event the foregoing condition precedent has not been satisfied at Closing, with respect to any portion of the Purchased Assets, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, choose to waive such condition precedent to Closing and move forward with consummating the Closing, provided, however, that in such event, Seller and Parent hereby agree and acknowledge that Buyer shall have no obligation to Seller or Parent with respect to the Qualified Financing Contingent Payment or the Qualified Licensing Payments (including Buyer’s obligation to repurchase such Qualified Licensing Payments) until such time as Seller and Parent have completed all actions and documentation necessary to transfer ownership of the Transferred Intellectual Property (including the IP Files) to Buyer.
1.5 Further Cooperation. Seller and Parent will assist Buyer in the prompt and orderly transition of the Purchased Assets to Buyer and will cooperate with Buyer and its representatives and counsel in the preparation of any documents or instruments that may be required in connection with the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer. From time to time, including after the Closing, without further consideration, Seller and Parent will execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and transfer and take any such other action as Buyer may request to convey and transfer to, and put Buyer in possession of, the Purchased Assets.
1.6 Qualified Financing Contingent Payment. In the event, and only in the event that, after the Closing, Buyer (or its parent entity, Seismic Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc.) completes a financing round resulting in gross cash proceeds to Buyer (or Seismic Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc.) of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000) (such financing, a “Qualified Seismic Financing”), Buyer will pay to Parent, within five (5) business days of the closing of such Qualified Seismic Financing, seven hundred thousand dollars ($700,000) (the “Qualified Financing Contingent Payment”), payable by Buyer to Parent via wire transfer of immediately available funds.
1.7 Qualified Licensing Payments. Following the Closing, in the event the Buyer (or its parent entity, Seismic Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc.) enters into any “license-out” agreement or arrangement with any third-party providing for the license to such third-party, by Buyer (or its parent entity), of any of the Transferred Intellectual Property (such license or arrangement, a “Qualifying License”), Buyer hereby agrees to pay to Parent twenty percent (20%) of any milestone payments, royalty payments or similar economic interests (including all global commercial net revenues) paid to Buyer under such Qualifying License (such 20% payment, the “Qualified Licensing Payments”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Qualified Seismic Financing, Parent shall have the right to require Buyer to buy out such Qualified Licensing Payments obligation from Parent at a purchase price of $1,200,000, payable by Buyer to Parent via wire transfer of immediately available funds (such right of Parent to require Buyer to repurchase the Qualified Licensing Payments, the “Buy-Out Put”). Upon Parent’s exercise of the Buy-Out Put, Parent shall have no further rights to, and Buyer shall have no further obligations to pay Parent, any portion of the economic interests received by Buyer pursuant to the Qualifying License.
1.8 Transfer of the Taiwanese Subsidiary. Promptly after the Closing, Seller and Parent shall take any actions, and execute any documentation, necessary to cause the ownership and control of the Taiwanese Subsidiary to be transferred to Buyer, with such transfer of ownership and control to become effective on, but not before, January 1, 2026.
