5.4 Mutual Covenants

Each of the Parties covenants and agrees that, except as contemplated in this Agreement, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the time that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms:

(a) it shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy (or cause the satisfaction of) the conditions precedent to its obligations hereunder as set forth in Article VI to the extent the same is within its control and to take, or cause to be taken, all other action and to do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable under all Applicable Laws to complete the Plan of Arrangement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) obtain all Key Regulatory Approvals required to be obtained by it; (ii) effect all necessary registrations, filings and submissions of information requested by Governmental Entities required to be effected by it in connection with the Plan of Arrangement; (iii) oppose, lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order against it or other order or action against it seeking to stop, or otherwise adversely affecting its ability to make and complete, the Plan of Arrangement; and (iv) co-operate with the other Party in connection with the performance by it and its subsidiaries of their obligations hereunder; in addition, subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, none of the Parties shall knowingly take or cause to be taken any action which would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(b) it shall not take any action, refrain from taking any commercially reasonable action, or permit any action to be taken or not taken, which is inconsistent with this Agreement or which would reasonably be expected to significantly impede the making or completion of the Plan of Arrangement except as permitted by this Agreement; and

(c) DRAXIS shall and shall cause its subsidiaries to effect the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization. Further, DRAXIS shall and shall cause its subsidiaries to effect such other reorganization of its business, operations, subsidiaries and assets or such other transactions disclosed in writing to DRAXIS prior to the Effective Date (a “ Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization ”), and the Plan of Arrangement, if required, shall be modified accordingly; provided, however, that DRAXIS need not effect a Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization which, in the opinion of DRAXIS, acting reasonably:

(i) would require DRAXIS to obtain the prior approval of the shareholders of DRAXIS in respect of such Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization other than at the DRAXIS Meeting or any regulatory approval not otherwise contemplated herein;

(ii) would impede or materially delay the consummation of the Arrangement;

(iii) would require DRAXIS or any subsidiary to contravene any Applicable Law, their respective organizational documents or any Contract; or

(iv) where incremental taxes could be imposed on, or any adverse tax or other adverse consequences could arise for any DRAXIS Shareholder as a result of the consummation of the Arrangement following any Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization.

Without limiting the foregoing and other than as set forth above, DRAXIS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from any persons to effect the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization and any Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, and DRAXIS shall cooperate with the Purchaser in structuring, planning and implementing such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization and any Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization provided however that a failure to obtain any such necessary consents, approvals or waivers shall not affect the consummation of the Arrangement or otherwise delay the filing of the Articles of Arrangement pursuant to Section 2.7. If the Arrangement is not completed due to the fault of the Purchaser to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall forthwith reimburse DRAXIS for all reasonable fees and expenses (including any professional fees and expenses) incurred by DRAXIS and its subsidiaries in considering or effecting the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization and any Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization.

Purchaser will, on an after Tax basis, indemnify and hold harmless DRAXIS, its subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses (including Taxes, legal fees, professional fees, and disbursements),

interest, awards, judgements and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with, in respect of, or as a result of the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization and any Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, including any such amounts resulting from the unwinding of the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization and any Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization should the Arrangement not be completed.

The Purchaser shall provide written notice to DRAXIS of any proposed Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization at least 10 business days prior to the Effective Date. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the planning for and implementation of the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization and any Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall not be considered a breach of any covenant under this Agreement and shall not be considered in determining whether a representation, warranty or covenant of DRAXIS hereunder has been breached. For greater certainty, DRAXIS shall not be liable for any failure to properly implement the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization and any Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization or for the failure of Purchaser to benefit from any anticipated Tax efficiency provided that DRAXIS has acted in good faith in implementing the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization and any Supplemental Pre-Acquisition Reorganization.

5.5 Stock Options and DSUs

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that subject to receipt of all appropriate regulatory approvals, and pursuant to the provisions of the DRAXIS Stock Option Plans and the Deferred Share Unit Plan, DRAXIS shall facilitate as necessary the acceleration of the vesting of any unvested DRAXIS Options and DSUs as may be necessary or desirable to allow all persons holding DRAXIS Options or DSUs to participate (but not vote) in the Arrangement in respect of all vested and unvested unexercised DRAXIS Options and DSUs. In accordance with the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, all DRAXIS Options and DSUs will be transferred to and cancelled by DRAXIS for a cash amount, if any, equal to (i) in the case of each DRAXIS Option, the excess, if any, of the Consideration over the applicable exercise price (or if the exercise price of such DRAXIS Option under the terms of such DRAXIS Option is expressed in Canadian currency, the U.S. dollar equivalent of such exercise price determined by using the U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar Daily Noon Rate as published by the Bank of Canada on the business day prior to the Effective Date), less any applicable withholdings, and (ii) in the case of each DSU, the amount of the Consideration, less any applicable withholdings, and, for greater certainty, all DRAXIS Options and DSUs will expire and terminate in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

(b) If the Purchaser concludes that it is necessary or desirable to deal with the DRAXIS Options or DSUs in a different manner than described in Section 5.5(a), having consequences (including tax consequences) to the holders thereof and DRAXIS, which are equivalent to or better than those contemplated in this Agreement (an “ Alternative Plan ”), and so advises DRAXIS in writing at least 10 days prior to the mailing of the DRAXIS Circular, and DRAXIS so agrees it shall cooperate with the Purchaser in implementing such Alternative Plan.

5.6 Employment Agreements

Following the Effective Date, DRAXIS shall honour its obligations, if any, under its employment agreements.

5.7 Assistance with Purchaser Financing

Following the date of this Agreement and until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, DRAXIS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any cooperation reasonably requested by the Purchaser (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of DRAXIS and its subsidiaries) in connection with obtaining financing for the Arrangement. Neither DRAXIS nor any subsidiary shall be required to participate in any marketing activities or pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other cost or liability in connection with such financing prior to the Effective Time.

The Purchaser may not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii)(B) and DRAXIS may not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iv)(B) unless the Party intending to rely thereon has delivered a written notice to the other Party specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which the Party delivering such notice is asserting as the basis for the non-fulfilment or the applicable condition or termination right, as the case may be. If any such notice is delivered, provided that a Party is proceeding diligently to cure such matter and such matter

is capable of being cured (except matters arising out of the failure to make appropriate disclosure in the Data Room), no Party may terminate this Agreement until the expiration of a period of fifteen business days from such notice, if such matter has not been cured by such date. If such notice has been delivered prior to the making of the application for either Final Order or the filing of Articles of Arrangement with the Director, such application and such filing shall be postponed until the expiry of such period. For greater certainty, in the event that such matter is cured within the time period referred to herein without a Material Adverse Effect, this Agreement may not be terminated as a result of the cured breach.

7.2 Non-Solicitation

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7.2, DRAXIS shall not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee or representative (including any financial or other advisor (“ Advisors ”)) of DRAXIS or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Representatives ”):

(i) solicit, initiate, facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding) the initiation of any inquiries or proposals regarding an Acquisition Proposal;

(ii) participate in any substantive discussions or negotiations with any person (other than the Purchaser or any of its affiliates) regarding an Acquisition Proposal;

(iii) approve, accept, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to accept, approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal;

(iv) accept or enter into or publicly propose to accept or enter into, any agreement, understanding or arrangement or other contract in respect of an Acquisition Proposal; or

(v) make a Change in Recommendation.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.2, DRAXIS shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any persons conducted heretofore by DRAXIS, its subsidiaries or any Representatives with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and, in connection therewith, DRAXIS will discontinue access to the Data Room (and not establish or allow access to any other data rooms, virtual or otherwise) and shall as soon as possible request, to the extent that it is entitled to do so (and exercise all rights it has to require) the return or destruction of all confidential information regarding DRAXIS and its subsidiaries previously provided to any such person or any other person and will request (and exercise all rights it has to require) the destruction of all material including or incorporating or otherwise reflecting any material confidential information regarding DRAXIS and its subsidiaries. DRAXIS agrees that neither it nor any of its subsidiaries, shall terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of any existing confidentiality agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any

standstill agreement to which it or any of its subsidiaries is a party. DRAXIS undertakes to enforce all standstill, non-disclosure, non-disturbance, non-solicitation and similar covenants that it or any of its subsidiaries had entered into prior to the date hereof.

(c) Notwithstanding Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b) and any other provision of this Agreement or of any other agreement between the Parties or between DRAXIS and any other person, including the provisions of any confidentiality or standstill agreement, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by DRAXIS Shareholders at the DRAXIS Meeting, DRAXIS receives a written Acquisition Proposal that the DRAXIS Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to, if completed in accordance with its terms, a Superior Proposal, then DRAXIS may, provided it has first complied with Section 7.2(b):

(i) furnish information with respect to DRAXIS and its subsidiaries to the person making such Acquisition Proposal; and/or

(ii) enter into, participate, facilitate and maintain discussions or negotiations with, and otherwise cooperate with or assist, the person making such Acquisition Proposal,

provided that DRAXIS shall not, and shall not allow its Representatives to, disclose any non-public information to such person:

(A) if such non public information has not been previously provided to, or is not concurrently provided to the Purchaser; and

(B) without entering into a confidentiality agreement with such person substantially in the form and content of the Confidentiality Agreement and that contains terms that are no more favourable to such person than those found in the Confidentiality Agreement provided that such confidentiality agreement need not contain a standstill provision.

(d) DRAXIS shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours after it has received any proposal, inquiry, offer or request) notify the Purchaser in the event it receives an Acquisition Proposal, including the material terms and conditions thereof, and the identity of the person or persons making the Acquisition Proposal, and shall include copies of any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request, or any amendment to any of the foregoing. DRAXIS shall also provide such other details of such proposal, inquiry, offer or request, or any amendment to any of the foregoing, at the Purchaser’s reasonable request. DRAXIS shall keep the Purchaser fully informed as to the status, including any changes to the material terms, of such proposal, inquiry, offer or request, or any amendment to any of the foregoing, and shall respond promptly to all inquiries from the Purchaser with respect thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 7.3, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by DRAXIS Shareholders at the DRAXIS Meeting, DRAXIS receives an Acquisition Proposal which the DRAXIS Board concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, the DRAXIS Board may, subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.2, terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal.

(f) Provided that DRAXIS complies with the other provisions of this Section 7.2, and Section 7.3, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the DRAXIS Board from taking any action or making a Change in Recommendation or from making any disclosure to any securityholders of DRAXIS prior to the Effective Time, including for greater certainty disclosure of a Change in Recommendation, if, in the good faith judgment of the DRAXIS Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel, failure to take such action or make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the DRAXIS Board’s exercise of its fiduciary duties or such action or disclosure is otherwise required under Applicable Law (including by responding to an Acquisition Proposal under a directors’ circular or otherwise as required under Securities Laws), provided that for greater certainty in the event of a Change of Recommendation and a termination by the Purchaser of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii)(A), DRAXIS shall pay the Termination Fee as required by Section 7.4. In addition, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.2 and Section 7.3, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent DRAXIS or the DRAXIS Board from calling and holding a meeting of DRAXIS Shareholders, or any of them, requisitioned by DRAXIS Shareholders, or any of them, in accordance with the CBCA or ordered to be held by a court in accordance with Applicable Laws.

7.3 Right to Match

(a) DRAXIS covenants that it will not accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of a Superior Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted by Section 7.2(b)) unless:

(i) DRAXIS has complied with its obligations under Section 7.2 and the other provisions of this Article VII and has provided Purchaser with a copy of the Superior Proposal; and

(ii) a period (the “ Response Period ”) of five business days shall have elapsed from the date that is the latest of (A) the date on which Purchaser received written notice from the DRAXIS Board that the DRAXIS Board determined, subject only to compliance with this Section 7.3, to accept, approve, recommend or enter into a binding agreement to proceed with the Superior Proposal, and (B) the date the Purchaser received a copy of the Superior Proposal.

(b) During the Response Period, the Purchaser will have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Plan of

Arrangement. Within five business days (the “ Review Period ”) of any such proposal by the Purchaser to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, including an increase in, or modification of, the aggregate Consideration, the DRAXIS Board shall review and determine whether the Acquisition Proposal to which the Purchaser is responding would be a Superior Proposal when assessed against this Agreement and against the Plan of Arrangement as they are proposed by the Purchaser to be amended. Such determination to be made by the DRAXIS Board shall be communicated to the Purchaser by the end of the Review Period. If the DRAXIS Board does not so determine, the DRAXIS Board, subject to Purchaser and DRAXIS entering into an amendment to this Agreement in respect of the amended Plan of Arrangement, will promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Plan of Arrangement in the same manner as described in Section 2.4. If the DRAXIS Board does so determine, DRAXIS may approve and recommend that holders of DRAXIS Shares accept such Superior Proposal and may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iv)(A) to accept or enter into an agreement, understanding or arrangement to proceed with the Superior Proposal.

(c) Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the holders of the DRAXIS Shares shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 7.3 and Purchaser shall be afforded a new Response Period in respect of each such Acquisition Proposal and the rights afforded in paragraph 7.3(b).

(d) In the event that DRAXIS provides notice in accordance with Section 7.3(a)(ii) on a date which is less than five business days prior to the DRAXIS Meeting, the Purchaser shall be entitled to require DRAXIS to adjourn or postpone the DRAXIS Meeting to a date that is not more than seven business days after the date of such notice.

7.4 Expenses and Termination Fees

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees, costs or expenses, except that in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(ii)(A), 8.2(a)(ii)(C), 8.2(a)(iii)(B) or 8.2(a)(iii)(D), all fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement shall be paid by DRAXIS to a maximum of $2,500,000.

(b) If a Termination Fee Event occurs, DRAXIS shall pay the Purchaser (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.4(e) less any applicable withholding Taxes.

(d) For the purposes of this Agreement, “ Termination Fee Event ” means the termination of this Agreement:

(i) by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii)(A) or Section 8.2(a)(iii)(C);

(ii) by DRAXIS pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iv)(A); or

(iii) by any Party pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(ii)(A), 8.2(a)(ii)(C), 8.2(a)(iii)(B) or 8.2(a)(iii)(D) but only if, in the case of this paragraph (iii), prior to the termination of this Agreement or prior to the DRAXIS Meeting, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal with respect to DRAXIS shall have been made or publicly announced or the intention of any person (other than the Purchaser and its affiliates) to make an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made public, and within six months following the date of such termination:

(A) an Acquisition Proposal is consummated; or

(B) DRAXIS or one or more of its subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement in respect of, or the DRAXIS Board approves or recommends, a transaction contemplated by (A) above and that transaction is subsequently consummated at any time thereafter;

provided that for the purposes of this section, all references to “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be “50%”.

(e) If a Termination Fee Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement by DRAXIS pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iv)(A), the Termination Fee shall be payable simultaneously with the occurrence of such Termination Fee Event. If a Termination Fee Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii)(A) or Section 8.2(a)(iii)(C), the Termination Fee shall be payable within two Business Days following such Termination Fee Event. If a Termination Fee Event occurs in the circumstances set out in Section 7.4(d)(iii), the Termination Fee shall be payable within two Business Days following the closing of the applicable transaction referred to therein.

(f) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.4 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and that, without those agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that all of the payment amounts set out in this Section 7.4 are payments of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages, which the Party entitled to such damages will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and the resultant termination of this Agreement and are not penalties. DRAXIS irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defense that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, each Party agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Purchaser is entitled to the Termination Fee and such Termination Fee is paid in full, the Purchaser shall be precluded from any other remedy against DRAXIS at law or in equity or otherwise, and shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against DRAXIS or any of DRAXIS’ subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members,

shareholders or affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g) Nothing in this Section 7.4 shall relieve or have the effect of relieving any Party in any way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by a Party as a result of an intentional or wilful breach of this Agreement.

(h) Nothing in this Section 7.4 shall preclude a Party from seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any of such act, covenants or agreements, without the necessity of posting bond or security in connection therewith.

(i) For greater certainty, if after making a payment pursuant to Section 7.4(a), it is subsequently determined that the Purchaser is entitled to the Termination Fee, any such payment under Section 7.4(a) shall be treated as payment against the Termination Fee and not in addition to or in lieu thereof and in no event shall DRAXIS be required to pay an amount under this Section 7.4 in excess of the Termination Fee.

7.5 Access to Information; Confidentiality

From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, subject to compliance with Applicable Law and the terms of any existing Contracts, DRAXIS shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees, independent auditors, accounting advisers and agents to, afford to the Purchaser and to the officers, employees, agents and representatives of Purchaser such access as Purchaser may reasonably require at all reasonable times, including for the purpose of facilitating integration business planning, to their officers, employees, agents, material customers and suppliers, properties, books, records and Contracts, and shall furnish Purchaser with all data and information as Purchaser may reasonably request. Purchaser and DRAXIS acknowledge and agree that information furnished pursuant to this Section shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

7.6 Insurance and Indemnification

(a) Purchaser will, or will cause DRAXIS and its subsidiaries to, maintain in effect without any reduction in scope or coverage for six years from the Effective Date customary policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing protection no less favourable to the protection provided by the policies maintained by DRAXIS and its subsidiaries which are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date and providing protection in respect of claims arising from facts or events which occurred on or prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that prior to the Effective Date, DRAXIS may, in the alternative, purchase run off directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for a period of up to six years from the Effective Date.

(b) Purchaser agrees that it shall directly honour all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favour of present and former officers and directors of DRAXIS and its subsidiaries, which shall survive the completion of the Plan of

Arrangement and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Date.

(c) The provisions of this Section 7.6 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each insured or indemnified person, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives and, for such purpose, DRAXIS hereby confirms that it is acting as agent and trustee on their behalf.

7.7 Brokers

DRAXIS represents and warrants that, except for Banc of America Securities Canada Co., no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission from, or to the reimbursement of any of its expenses by, DRAXIS in connection with this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement. DRAXIS has provided to Purchaser a correct and complete copy of all agreements relating to the arrangements between it and its financial advisors which are in effect at the date hereof and agrees not to amend the terms of any such agreements relating to the payment of fees and expenses without the prior written approval of Purchaser.

7.8 Jubilant Guarantee

Jubilant hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual performance by Purchaser of each and every obligation of the Purchaser arising under this Agreement and the Arrangement.

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

9.3 Injunctive Relief

Subject to Section 7.4, the Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief hereby being waived.

9.4 Time of Essence

Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

9.5 Entire Agreement, Binding Effect and Assignment

Purchaser may assign all or any part of its rights under this Agreement to, and its obligations under this Agreement may be assumed by, a direct or indirect subsidiary of Purchaser, provided that if such assignment and/or assumption takes place, the Purchaser shall continue to be liable jointly and severally with such subsidiary for all of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall enure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto and the Disclosure Letter) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder. Except as expressly permitted by the terms hereof, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

9.6 Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

9.7 Counterparts, Execution

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties shall be entitled to rely upon delivery of an executed facsimile or similar executed electronic copy of this Agreement, and such facsimile or similar executed electronic copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the Parties.

9.8 Fiduciary Duties of Directors

(a) No director or officer of the Purchaser or of any of its affiliates or subsidiaries shall have any personal liability whatsoever to DRAXIS under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby on behalf of the Purchaser or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries.

(b) No provision of this Agreement shall require DRAXIS to cause any of its directors to take any action, or refrain from taking any action, that is required by such individual to fulfill his/her fiduciary legal obligations as a director of DRAXIS, nor, so long as DRAXIS has not breached Section 7.2 of this Agreement, shall any provision of this Agreement prevent the DRAXIS Board from considering, negotiating, approving, recommending to DRAXIS Shareholders or entering into an agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal or from approving or recommending such Superior Proposal. For greater certainty, a modification, change or withdrawal by the DRAXIS Board of its recommendation in respect of the Arrangement after the date hereof in the proper exercise of such fiduciary duty shall not result in the representations in Section 3.1 of this Agreement being considered to be untrue or incorrect. The foregoing shall not be interpreted to diminish, limit, restrict or otherwise affect in any way any covenant or agreement of DRAXIS under this Agreement or be construed as a forgiveness or waiver of any breach.
