ARTICLE II

Allocation of Tax Liabilities and Tax Benefits

SECTION 2.01 Neurotrope Indemnification of SpinCo. After the Distribution, Neurotrope shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold SpinCo harmless from, the following Taxes (in each case, other than Taxes for which SpinCo is liable under Section 2.02):

(a) Ordinary Taxes of Neurotrope and its Subsidiaries for any taxable period; and

(b) Transfer Taxes for which Neurotrope is responsible under Section 2.04.

SECTION 2.02 SpinCo Indemnification of Neurotrope. After the Distribution, SpinCo shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold Neurotrope harmless from, the following Taxes, whether incurred directly by Neurotrope or indirectly through one of its Subsidiaries (but without duplication of any such Taxes that SpinCo has already paid (or caused to be paid) pursuant to Article VI):

(a) Ordinary Taxes (i) of Neurotrope and its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Distribution Tax Period to the extent attributable to SpinCo, (ii) of SpinCo for any taxable period other than a Pre-Distribution Tax Period or (iii) of Neurotrope and its Subsidiaries imposed under Section 1.1503(d)-6 of the Regulations relating to the recapture of any “dual consolidated loss” (within the meaning of Section 1503(d)(2) of the Code) incurred by SpinCo.

(b) Transfer Taxes for which SpinCo is responsible under Section 2.04.

SECTION 2.03 Allocation of Ordinary Taxes.

(a) For purposes of Section 2.03(a)(i), in the case of any Neurotrope Consolidated Group:

(i) If any Ordinary Taxes arise as a result of any adjustments made after the Distribution Date to the portion of the relevant Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Tax Period that relates to SpinCo, the amount of Ordinary Taxes attributable to SpinCo shall equal the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of Ordinary Taxes actually payable by the Neurotrope Consolidated Group as a result of the adjustments for the relevant period over (B) the amount of Ordinary Taxes that would have been so payable had no adjustments been made to the portions of the relevant Tax Returns relating to SpinCo; and

(ii) The amount of Ordinary Taxes shown as due on any Tax Return filed after the Distribution Date that are attributable to SpinCo shall equal the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of Ordinary Taxes actually shown as due on that Tax Return over (B) the amount of Ordinary Taxes that would have been shown as due on that Tax Return had SpinCo not been included in the Neurotrope Consolidated Group.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, SpinCo shall be liable for Taxes of any Neurotrope Consolidated Group under Section 2.02(a)(i) only to the extent any adjustment (as described in Section 2.03(a)(i)) or the inclusion of SpinCo in the relevant Neurotrope Consolidated Group (as described in Section 2.03(a)(ii)) results in an actual increase in the aggregate Tax liability of the Neurotrope Consolidated Group in any period. To the extent that any such adjustment or inclusion in one taxable period increases the amount of Ordinary Taxes actually payable by the Neurotrope Consolidated Group in another taxable period, principles consistent with those in Section 2.03(a) shall apply to determine the amount of Ordinary Taxes attributable to SpinCo.

SECTION 2.04 Allocation of Transfer Taxes. Neurotrope and SpinCo each shall be responsible for any Transfer Taxes incurred by the Neurotrope Tax Group and SpinCo, respectively, as a result of the Distribution. If, under applicable Law, both Parties or neither Party are liable for Transfer Taxes, then Neurotrope and SpinCo shall be equally responsible for such Transfer Taxes.

SECTION 2.05 Refunds, Credits and Offsets.

(a) Subject to Section 2.06, if Neurotrope, SpinCo or any of their respective Subsidiaries receives any refund of any Taxes for which the other Party is liable under this Article II (a “Refund Recipient”), such Refund Recipient shall pay to the other Party the entire amount of the refund (including interest, but net of any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) within 10 business days of receipt or accrual; provided, however, that the other Party, upon the request of such Refund Recipient, shall repay the amount paid to the other Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority) in the event such Refund Recipient is required to repay such refund. In the event a Party would be a Refund Recipient but for the fact it elected to apply a refund to which it would otherwise have been entitled against a Tax liability arising in a subsequent taxable period, then such Party shall be treated as a Refund Recipient and the economic benefit of so applying the refund shall be treated as a refund, and shall be paid within 10 business days of the due date of the Tax Return to which such refund is applied to reduce the subsequent Tax liability.

(b) For purposes of Section 2.05(a), in the case of any Neurotrope Consolidated Group, the SpinCo shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes only to the extent of the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of any refund (or reduction in subsequent Taxes) that the Neurotrope Consolidated Group actually receives over (ii) the amount of any refund (or reduction in subsequent Taxes) that the Neurotrope Consolidated Group would have received had any adjustments made after the Distribution Date to the portions of any Tax Return relating SpinCo not been made.

SECTION 2.06 Carrybacks.

(a) If a Tax Return of SpinCo for any taxable period ending after the Distribution Date reflects any net operating loss, net capital loss, excess Tax credit or other Tax attribute (a “Tax Attribute”), then SpinCo shall waive the right to carry back any such Tax Attribute to a Pre-Distribution Tax Period to the extent permissible under applicable Law. In the event that SpinCo does carry back a Tax Attribute to a Pre-Distribution Tax Period, then (i) subject to Section 2.06(b), no payment with respect to such carryback shall be due to SpinCo from Neurotrope and (ii) if SpinCo receives any refund, credit or offset of any Taxes in connection with such carryback, SpinCo shall promptly pay to Neurotrope the full amount of such refund or the economic benefit of the credit or offset (including interest, but net of any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.06(a), if Neurotrope determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received, either from SpinCo under Section 2.06(a) or directly from a Taxing Authority, a refund of Taxes that SpinCo has actually paid to Neurotrope or to any Taxing Authority pursuant to this Agreement in connection with a carryback by SpinCo of a Tax Attribute to a Pre-Distribution Tax Period, Neurotrope shall pay (or repay) to SpinCo the amount of such refund (net of any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund); provided, however, that SpinCo agrees, upon Neurotrope’s request, to repay such amount (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority) in the event Neurotrope is required to repay such refund.

SECTION 2.07 Straddle Periods. For U.S. Federal income Tax purposes, the taxable year of SpinCo will close as of the end of the Distribution Date. For any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Distribution Date (a “Straddle Period”), Taxes for the Pre-Distribution Tax Period shall be computed (i) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real, personal and intangible property Taxes), on a daily pro rata basis and (ii) in the case of other Taxes generally, as if the taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Distribution Date.

ARTICLE III

Tax Returns, Tax Contests and Other Administrative Matters

SECTION 3.01 Responsibility for Preparing Tax Returns. Neurotrope

(a) With respect to any Tax Return that is required or permitted to be filed for a taxable period:

(i) Neurotrope shall prepare and file all Tax Returns of the Neurotrope Tax Group that are required or permitted to be filed for any taxable period.

(ii) Neurotrope shall prepare and file all Tax Returns of SpinCo for any taxable period ending on or before the Distribution Date, including any short taxable year ending by reason of the Distribution. SpinCo shall provide to Neurotrope any information or documentation as reasonably necessary for Neurotrope to prepare any such Tax Returns.

(iii) SpinCo shall prepare and file any Tax Returns of SpinCo that are required or permitted to be filed for any taxable period ending after the Distribution Date, including any Straddle Period.

(b) To the extent that any Tax Return described in Section 3.01(a) directly relates to matters for which SpinCo may have an indemnification obligation to Neurotrope, or that may give rise to a refund to which SpinCo would be entitled, under this Agreement, Neurotrope shall (i) prepare the relevant portions of the Tax Return on a basis consistent with past practice, except (A) as required by applicable Law or to correct any clear error, (B) as a result of changes or elections made on any Tax Return of a Neurotrope Consolidated Group that do not relate primarily to SpinCo or (C) as mutually agreed by the Parties; (ii) notify SpinCo of any such portions not prepared on a basis consistent with past practice; (iii) provide SpinCo a reasonable opportunity to review the relevant portions of the Tax Return; (iv) consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by SpinCo; and (v) use commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate, in the portion of such Tax Return related to SpinCo’s potential indemnification obligation (or refund entitlement), any reasonable comments made by SpinCo relating to the Neurotrope’s compliance with clause (i). The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising out of the review of any such Tax Return.

(c) Neurotrope shall, no later than 5 business days before the due date (including extensions) of any Tax Return described in Section 3.01(b), notify SpinCo of any amount (or any portion of any such amount) shown as due on that Tax Return for which SpinCo must indemnify Neurotrope under this Agreement. SpinCo shall pay such amount to the Neurotrope no later than one day prior to the due date (including extensions) of the relevant Tax Return. A failure of Neurotrope to give notice as provided in this Section 3.01(c) shall not relieve SpinCo from its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(d) Without the prior written consent of SpinCo (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Neurotrope shall not file, amend, withdraw, revoke or otherwise alter any Tax Return that relates to any event occurring on or before the Distribution Date to the extent such alternation could reasonably be expected to adversely and materially impact matters for which SpinCo may have an indemnification obligation to Neurotrope.

SECTION 3.02 Tax Contests. Neurotrope

(a) Neurotrope or SpinCo, as applicable, shall, within 10 business days of becoming aware of any Tax Contest that could reasonably be expected to cause the other Party to have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement, notify the other Party of such Tax Contest and thereafter promptly forward or make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of notices and communications relating to the relevant portions of such Tax Contest. A failure by an Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 3.02(a) (or to promptly forward any such notices or communications) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Neurotrope shall have the exclusive right to control the conduct and settlement of any Tax Contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the conduct or settlement of any portion or aspect of any such Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to cause a SpinCo to have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement, then (i) Neurotrope shall keep SpinCo reasonably informed as to material aspects of any such Tax Contest, (ii) and Neurotrope shall not accept or enter into any settlement of such Tax Context without the consent of SpinCo, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SECTION 3.03 Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate with reasonable requests from the other Party in matters covered by this Agreement, including in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, the calculation of Taxes, the determination of the proper financial accounting treatment of Tax items and the conduct and settlement of Tax Contests. Such cooperation shall include:

(a) retaining until the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations (including extensions) records, documents, accounting data, computer data and other information (“Records”) necessary for the preparation, filing, review, audit or defense of all Tax Returns relevant to an obligation, right or liability of either Party under this Agreement;

(b) providing the other Party reasonable access to Records and to its personnel (ensuring their cooperation) and premises during normal business hours to the extent relevant to an obligation, right or liability of the other Party under this Agreement or otherwise reasonably required by the other Party to complete Tax Returns or to compute the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement; and

(c) notifying the other Party prior to disposing of any relevant Records and affording the other Party the opportunity to take possession or make copies of such Records at its discretion.

ARTICLE IV

Indemnification Claims and Payments

SECTION 4.01 Indemnification Claims and Payments.

(a) An Indemnitee shall be entitled to make a claim for payment with respect to Taxes under this Agreement when the Indemnitee determines that it is entitled to such payment and is able to calculate with reasonably accuracy the amount of such payment. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.01(c), the Indemnitee shall provide to the Indemnifying Party notice of such claim within 30 business days of the first date on which it so becomes entitled to make such claim. Such notice shall include a description of such claim and a detailed calculation of the amount claimed.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.01(c), the Indemnifying Party shall make the claimed payment to the Indemnitee within 10 business days after receiving such notice, unless the Indemnifying Party reasonably disputes its liability for, or the amount of, such payment.

(c) A failure by an Indemnitee to give notice as provided in Section 3.01(c) or this Section 4.01(b) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure.

(d) Nothing in this Section 4.01 shall prejudice Neurotrope’s right to receive payments pursuant to Section 3.01(c).

SECTION 4.02 Amount of Indemnity Payments. The amount of any Indemnity Payment shall be (i) reduced to take into account any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnitee resulting from the incurrence of the liability in respect of which the Indemnity Payment is made and (ii) increased to take into account any Tax cost actually realized by the Indemnitee resulting from the receipt of the Indemnity Payment (including any Tax cost arising from such Indemnity Payment having resulted in income or gain to either Party, for example, under Section 1.1502-19 of the Regulations, and any Taxes imposed on additional amounts payable pursuant to this clause (ii)).

SECTION 4.03 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any Indemnity Payment (other than any portion of a payment that represents interest accruing after the Distribution Date) shall be treated by Neurotrope and SpinCo for all Tax purposes as a distribution from SpinCo to Neurotrope immediately prior to the Distribution (if made by SpinCo to Neurotrope) or as a contribution from Neurotrope to SpinCo immediately prior to the Distribution (if made by Neurotrope to SpinCo), except as otherwise required by applicable Law or a Determination.

SECTION 4.04 Tax Disputes. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to Tax matters governed by this Agreement (“Tax Disputes”). If any Tax Disputes remain unresolved after 30 calendar days, the matter will be referred to a mutually acceptable Tax advisor with a reputable accounting firm (a “Tax Advisor”). The Parties shall instruct the Tax Advisor to furnish notice to each Party of its resolution of the Tax Dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 60 calendar days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Advisor will be binding on the Parties and the Parties shall take, or cause to be taken, any action necessary to implement the resolution. All fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor shall be shared equally by the Parties.

Waiver by either Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default.

SECTION 5.14 Specific Performance.

SpinCo shall not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that money damages are an adequate remedy. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of this Agreement and without that right, neither Neurotrope nor SpinCo would have entered into this Agreement.

SECTION 5.15 Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by either Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of each Party.

SECTION 5.16 Interpretation. The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 12.14 of the Separation Agreement shall be incorporated by reference to this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
