In connection therewith, and except as set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Closing Date, each of Seller and Buyer shall make available to the other during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice, but without unreasonably disrupting its business, all records relating exclusively to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Excluded Liabilities held by it and reasonably necessary to permit the defense or investigation of any such Litigation, examination or audit (other than Litigation between Buyer and Seller or their respective Affiliates arising out of the Transactions, with respect to which applicable rules of discovery shall apply), and shall preserve and retain all such records for the length of time contemplated by its standard record retention policies and schedules. Subject to, and not in derogation or limitation of, the Parties’ respective obligations under ARTICLE 7, the Party requesting such cooperation shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such cooperation (including legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Party providing such cooperation and by its officers, directors, employees and agents, and any applicable Taxes in connection therewith.

5.2.2 To the extent that Seller’s rights under any Purchased Asset may not be assigned without the approval, consent or waiver of another Person and such approval, consent or waiver has not been obtained prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful. If any such approval, consent or waiver shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, Seller shall for a period of up to nine months after the Closing, (a) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary approvals, consents and waivers to the assignment and transfer thereof, and Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with Seller in connection therewith (in each case at the sole cost and expense of Seller); provided, that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay money to any Third Party, commence any Litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party in connection with such efforts; and (b) until any such approval, consent or waiver is obtained and the related Purchased Asset is transferred and assigned to Buyer or Buyer’s designee, use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Buyer substantially comparable benefits thereof and enforce, at the request of and for the account of Buyer, any rights of Seller arising under any such Purchased Asset against any Person.

Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Buyer information of the type addressed above, including by submitting any necessary consents to, or otherwise causing, its auditors to provide Buyer with any such information in connection with any financing, public or private, with respect to securities of the Buyer or its Affiliates as may be required by Regulatory Authorities. Buyer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Seller and its Affiliates in connection with this Section 5.2.3.

5.3 Publicity. No public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein will be issued without the joint approval of Seller and Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; except in any public disclosure which either Seller or Buyer, in its good faith judgment, believes is required by applicable Law or by any stock exchange on which its securities or those of its Affiliates are listed. If either Party, in its good faith judgment, believes such disclosure is required, such Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party and its Representatives, and to consider in good faith any revisions proposed by the other Party or its Representatives, as applicable, prior to making (or prior to any of its Affiliates making) such disclosure, and shall limit such disclosure to only that information which is legally required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor Buyer shall issue or permit any of its Affiliates to issue any public announcement of the execution of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that where Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall have received advice of counsel that it or its Affiliates is required to make an announcement or furnish a statement pursuant to the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or any jurisdiction in

For a period of [REDACTED] years after the Closing Date (or, if the Closing does not occur, [REDACTED] years after the Execution Date), Seller shall not disclose, or permit the disclosure of, any of the Buyer Confidential Information to any Person except those Persons to whom such disclosure is necessary in connection with any Seller Permitted Purpose (and Seller shall be liable to Buyer for any disclosure of Confidential Information by such Persons which would be a breach of this Agreement if such disclosure was made by Seller itself) and Seller shall not use the Buyer Confidential Information except in connection with the Seller Permitted Purpose; provided, however, that with respect to any Buyer Confidential Information that is a Trade Secret, Seller shall not disclose, or permit the disclosure of, such information for the period of time that it is considered a Trade Secret under the UTSA, other than in compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement, for a Seller Permitted Purpose (to the extent reasonable measures are taken to preserve the confidentiality of such Trade Secret), or in accordance with Section 5.4.4. Seller shall treat, and will cause its Affiliates and the Representatives of Seller or any of its Affiliates to treat, the Buyer Confidential Information as confidential, using the same degree of care as Seller normally employs to safeguard its own confidential information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

39


connection with a Buyer Permitted Purpose (and Buyer shall be liable to Seller for any disclosure of Confidential Information by such Persons which would be a breach of this Agreement if such disclosure was made by Buyer itself) and Buyer shall not use, or permit the use of, the Seller Confidential Information, except in connection with a Buyer Permitted Purpose; provided, however, that with respect to any Seller Confidential Information that is a Trade Secret, Buyer shall not disclose, or permit the disclosure of, such information for the period of time that it is considered a Trade Secret under the UTSA, other than in compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement, for a Buyer Permitted Purpose (to the extent reasonable measures are taken to preserve the confidentiality of such Trade Secret), or in accordance with Section 5.4.4. Buyer shall treat, and will cause its Affiliates and the Representatives of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to treat, Seller Confidential Information as confidential, using the same degree of care as Buyer normally employs to safeguard its own confidential information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

5.4.4 In the event either Party is requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable Law to disclose any of the other Party’s Confidential Information (i.e., Seller Confidential Information or Buyer Confidential Information, as applicable), it will notify the other Party in a timely manner so that such Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in such Party’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. Each Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects in connection with any reasonable actions to be taken for the foregoing purpose, at the sole cost and expense of the Party seeking such remedy or order. In any event, the Party requested or required to disclose such Confidential Information may furnish it as requested or required pursuant to applicable Law (subject to any such protective order or other appropriate remedy) without liability hereunder, provided that such Party furnishes only that portion of the Confidential Information which such Party is advised by its counsel is legally required, and if confidential treatment is available such Party exercises reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information, at the sole cost and expense of the other Party.

5.4.5 Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall be construed as preventing or in any way inhibiting either Party from complying with applicable Law governing activities and obligations undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in any manner which it reasonably deems appropriate.

(a) Promptly, but in no event later than 30 days, following the Closing Date, Buyer shall obtain its own NDC number for the Product and Buyer shall use, or caused to be used, its new NDC number on all invoices, orders, drug labels, and labeling and other communications with all customers and Governmental Authorities for Product other than the Purchased Inventory, for which Seller agrees Buyer shall be entitled to use Seller’s NDC number pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

(b) All returns of Product following the Closing (including with respect to Product labeled with an NDC number of Seller or any of its Affiliates and Product labeled with an NDC number of Buyer or any of its Affiliates) that were sold in the Buyer Territory shall be sent to Buyer or its designee for processing. Returns will be processed by Buyer or its designee in accordance with its then-current returned goods policy, regardless of which Party made the corresponding original sale. Buyer shall be financially responsible for return reimbursement for all Product sold on or after the Closing Date in the Buyer Territory and Seller shall be financially responsible for return reimbursement for all Product sold prior to the Closing Date in the Buyer Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall be financially responsible for returns of Product included in Transition Lots on a proportional basis, based on the number of units of Product in such Transition Lot sold by Buyer on or after the Closing Date and on the number of units of Product in such Transition Lot sold by Seller prior to the Closing Date. The Parties’ respective financial responsibility for returns of Product included in a Transition Lot shall be determined as of the expiration date for such lot. Within 30 days following Seller’s receipt of written notice from Buyer, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all refunds paid by Buyer for (i) returns of Product sold by Seller in the Buyer Territory prior to the Closing Date and (ii) Seller’s proportionate share of refunds for returns of Product included in Transition Lots. Buyer shall notify all customers of the Product Business in the Buyer Territory of the foregoing change in trade return procedures as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, with a reminder notification sent to all customers no later than 30 days following the Closing Date.

5.14.2 Government Rebates.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall be financially responsible for ail rebates pursuant to any government rebate programs with respect to Product dispensed to patients (i) on or prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) during the [REDACTED] day period following the Closing Date (such period, the “Rebate Tail Period”).

Buyer shall be responsible for any notices to

 

49


any Governmental Authorities with respect to any changes in the average wholesale price or weighted average costs of the Product following the Closing Date, in each case as may be required by applicable Law.

(e) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall conduct all federal and state government price reporting for the Product (i.e. Best Price, AMP, NFAMP, annual NFAMP and state reporting) in accordance with all applicable Laws. Seller shall provide to Buyer such information relating to the Product labeled with an NDC number of Seller sold by Buyer that is reasonably necessary for Buyer to comply with applicable Law relating to government price reporting.

(f) Seller and Buyer shall work together to coordinate the addition of the Product to Buyer’s FSS and TriCare Retail Refund Pricing Agreement as soon as practicable following Closing Date and to coincide with Seller removing the Product from its FSS and TriCare Retail Refund Pricing Agreement; provided, that Seller shall be entitled to remove the Product from its FSS and TriCare Retail Pricing Agreement if the Product is not added to Buyer’s FSS and TriCare Retail Pricing Agreement by December 31, 2014.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that (i) Seller shall not be responsible for credits or shelf stock adjustments to the extent resulting from

 

50


price decreases initiated by Buyer on or after the Closing Date and (ii) any such commercial rebate payments by Seller shall be made on the terms and conditions equivalent to Seller’s rebate obligations as of the Closing with respect to each commercial customer as set forth in Seller’s terms of agreement with such customer.

Buyer shall be financially responsible for all other Chargeback Claims related to the Product in the Buyer Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the VA National Acquisition Center must approve the removal of the Product from Seller’s FSS before the responsibility of processing such rebates is transferred from Seller to Buyer. Until such approval is obtained (and the Parties agree that they shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly facilitate such approval), Seller shall continue to be responsible for processing the FSS Chargeback Claims for which Buyer is financially responsible on Buyer’s behalf, and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for same as set forth below. The Parties agree that, upon Closing, Seller may immediately remove the Product from its agreement under the PHS 340B Program. Buyer and Seller agree that (i) Seller’s financial liability for Chargeback Claims shall be limited to those customers with which Seller has chargeback obligations as of the Closing Date and (ii) any such Chargeback Claims issued by Seller shall be made on terms and conditions equivalent to Seller’s obligations as of the Closing with respect to each customer as of the Closing Date.

(b) To the extent that Seller processes Chargeback Claims that are the financial responsibility of Buyer, Buyer shall reimburse Seller within 30 days after receipt of invoices that describe the requested payments in reasonable detail and include reasonable supporting documentation. To the extent that Buyer processes Chargeback Claims that are the financial responsibility of Seller, Seller shall reimburse Buyer within 30 days after receipt of invoices that describe the requested payments in reasonable detail and include reasonable supporting documentation.

(a) With respect to HCR Fees invoiced to Seller during 2015 based on sales in 2013 as an estimate of sales in 2014, Buyer shall be financially responsible for

 

51


that portion of Seller’s HCR Fees associated with the sale of the Product in 2013 that represents the portion of calendar year 2014 that follows the Closing Date.

(b) With respect to any adjustment in HCR Fees invoiced to either Party during 2016 based on actual sales in 2014, Buyer shall be financially responsible for that portion of the adjustment associated with the sale of the Product in 2014 that represents the portion of 2014 that follows the Closing Date.

(c) In the event that HCR Fees for the Product for 2014 or any adjustment thereto are invoiced to Seller, within 30 days following Seller’s receipt of such invoice, Seller shall provide to Buyer an invoice that includes a calculation of the portion of such fees allocable to Buyer, as set forth above. In the event that HCR Fees for the Product for 2014 are invoiced to Buyer, within 30 days following Buyer’s receipt of such invoice, Buyer shall provide to Seller an invoice that includes a calculation of the portion of such fees allocable to Seller, as set forth above. Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall pay to the other the amount of HCR Fees for which it is invoiced by the other Party under this Section 5.14.5(c) within 30 days after receipt of such invoice and reasonable supporting documentation. In the event that the United States Department of Treasury issues final regulations with respect to the determination of HCR Fees which mandates a mechanism the effect of which a party believes is materially and substantially different from that contemplated herein such that it would render the allocation method described herein impracticable or inequitable, it shall so notify the other party and propose an alternative allocation method, and the parties shall meet in good faith to discuss the alternative method.

5.14.6 Reconciliation. No later than June 30, 2015, Seller and Buyer shall reconcile expenses and other amounts reimbursable, payable or accountable by one Party to another (as of the end of the period ending six months after the Closing Date) as envisioned in this Section 5.14, and the Party owing money shall pay the other Party no later than July 31, 2015. To the extent that Seller continues to have obligations to pay rebates, Chargeback Claims or similar expenses on account of the sale of the Product, Seller and Buyer shall continue the financial reporting and reconciliation obligations of this Section 5.14 on a calendar quarter basis until all such obligations end. In such event, reconciliations shall occur within 45 days after the end of a calendar quarter and any payments due shall be paid within 75 days after the end of such calendar quarter.

5.14.7 Impact of Price Increases on Payment Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller’s financial responsibility for any rebate, Chargeback Claim, HCR Fee or other payment obligation under this Section 5.14 shall not take into account any price increases Buyer or its Affiliates may implement for the Product on or after the Closing Date. Buyer shall be financially responsible for the excess of the amount of any such payment obligation of Seller over the amount of such payment obligation without giving effect to price increases Buyer or its Affiliates may implement for the Product on or after the Closing Date.

(a) (i) any breach as of the Execution Date or the Closing Date of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in Section 3.1 (as if such representations or warranties were made both on the Execution Date and on the Closing

 

55


Date) or (ii) any breach of any of the representations and warranties made by Seller in any Ancillary Agreement (to the extent such Ancillary Agreement does not contain indemnification provisions);

7.2 Claim Procedure.

7.2.1 Indemnification Claim Procedure. Except as provided in Section 7.2.2 with respect to Third Party claims, in the event of a claim made by a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give reasonably prompt written notice to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”),

 

56


which notice (an “Indemnification Certificate”) shall: (a) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued or in good faith anticipates that it will have to pay or accrue Losses that are subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2, as applicable, and (b) specify in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification (to the extent known) and contain a non-binding preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Indemnified Party claims to be entitled (to the extent known); provided, however, that the failure to give, or delay in giving, reasonably prompt notice shall not relieve the applicable Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such delay or failure. In the event that the Indemnifying Party agrees to or is determined to have an obligation to indemnify or reimburse the Indemnified Party for Losses as provided in this ARTICLE 7 the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2.2, promptly (but in any event, within 30 days of receipt of the Indemnification Certificate) pay such amount to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party objects to all or a portion of the Indemnified Party’s claim made in the Indemnification Certificate, the Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party of such objection by delivering a written statement (the “Objection Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party within 30 days following receipt of the Indemnification Certificate. The Objection Notice shall indicate whether the Indemnifying Party objects to all or only a portion of the claim specified in the Indemnification Certificate and shall specify in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnifying Party’s basis and reasons for such objection. An Indemnifying Party’s failure to deliver an Objection Notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2.1 within such 30-day period to any claim set forth in an Indemnification Certificate shall be deemed to be the Indemnifying Party’s acceptance of, and waiver of any objections to, such claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed that an amount equal to the full claimed amount specified in the Indemnification Certificate is owed to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party in its Objection Notice objects only to a portion of the claim set forth in the Indemnification Certificate (the amount of Losses claimed in the Indemnification Certificate to which the Indemnifying Party does not object shall be referred to herein as the “Agreed Amount”), then such Indemnifying Party shall, within 10 Business Days following the delivery of such Objection Notice pay the Agreed Amount to the Indemnified Party. If an Indemnifying Party shall provide an Objection Notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2.1, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith for a period of 20 days following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of the Objection Notice to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If no such agreement can be reached after such 20-day period of good faith negotiation, either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party may initiate Litigation for purposes of having the matter settled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

7.2.2 Third Party Claim Procedure. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a claim made by a Third Party (including any action or proceeding

 

57


commenced or threatened to be commenced by any Third Party) that such Indemnified Party in good faith believes may result in an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 7.1, such Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after receiving written notice of such claim) notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim (such notice, the “Claim Notice”). The Claim Notice shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by the Third Party making such claim and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in delivering a Claim Notice shall relieve the applicable Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such delay or failure. Within 30 days after receipt of any Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of the claim referred to therein at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense (which shall be subject to Section 7.3) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as: [REDACTED] If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of the defense of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall control the defense of such claim. The party not controlling the defense of such claim (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of such claim and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have materially conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such claim that cause the Indemnified Party to hire its own separate counsel with respect to such proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of a single counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling the defense of such claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading that may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such claim. Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required with respect to any such settlement or judgment if the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay or cause to be paid any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment

 

58


and such settlement or judgment includes no admission of liability by or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party from further Liability.

7.3 Limitations on Indemnification.

7.3.1 The provisions for indemnity under Section 7.1.1(a) or Section 7.1.2(a), as applicable, shall be effective only when the aggregate amount of all Losses for claims for which indemnification is sought from any Indemnifying Party exceeds [REDACTED] provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not be applicable for breaches of any Fundamental Rep.

7.3.2 In no event shall any Indemnifying Party have liability for indemnification under Section 7.1.1(a) or Section 7.1.2(a), as applicable, for any amount exceeding, in the aggregate, [REDACTED] provided, that the foregoing limitation on indemnification described in this Section 7.3.2 shall not apply to breaches of any Fundamental Rep.

7.3.3 The Indemnified Party shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses or Liabilities incurred by such party upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any indemnification rights hereunder. The amount of Losses recovered by an Indemnified Party under Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2, as applicable, shall be reduced by (a) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from a Third Party in connection with such claim and (b) the amount of any insurance proceeds paid to the Indemnified Party relating to such claim net of any increase in premiums resulting from such claim (a “Premium Increase”). If any amounts referenced in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) are received after payment by the Indemnifying Party of the full amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such receipt, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 had such amounts been received prior to such payment. If any Premium Increase is paid by the Indemnified Party after payment by the Indemnifying Party of the full amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 7, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of the Premium Increase.

7.3.4 If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a Third Party based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against such Third Party as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Third Party the amount of such payment; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party is the Seller and such Third Party is a customer, vendor or supplier of the Product Business, then Seller shall not pursue

 

59


such underlying claim in a manner that is, or would reasonably expected to be, materially detrimental to the Product Business.

7.3.5 The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement and any obligation of a Party to indemnify any Indemnified Party for such Party’s failure to perform or breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation contained in ARTICLE 4 shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect thereafter through and including the [REDACTED] anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that the Fundamental Reps shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive indefinitely or, if applicable, until 60 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations [REDACTED] provided, further, that if a Claim Notice or Indemnification Certificate relating to the breach of any representation or warranty or the failure to perform or breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation contained in ARTICLE 4 is given to the Indemnifying Party on or prior to the date on which the applicable survival period described in this Section 7.3.5 expires, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.3.5, such Claim Notice or Indemnification Certificate, as applicable, shall not expire at the applicable expiration date, but rather shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Claim Notice or the Indemnification Certificate has been fully and finally resolved.

7.3.6 [REDACTED]

7.3.7 For the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 7 in respect of any Loss to the extent such Indemnified Party has been previously indemnified or reimbursed in respect of such Loss

 

60


pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any Ancillary Agreement.

7.4 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

7.5 Exclusive Remedy.

7.6 Setoff Rights. [REDACTED]

ARTICLE 8

TERMINATION

8.1 Termination. Prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of any of the following events:

8.1.1 the mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller;

8.1.2 by written notice delivered by either Buyer or Seller to the other, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to December 31, 2014 (the “End Date”) (other than due to a breach of any representation or warranty hereunder of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement or as a result of the failure on the part of such Party to comply with or perform any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement);

8.1.3 by written notice delivered by Buyer to Seller, if (a) there has been a breach by Seller of a representation or Warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or (b) there shall be a material breach by Seller of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Seller in this Agreement, and such failure or breach described in clause (a) or (b) would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2.1 or Section 6.2.2 that has not

 

61


been waived by Buyer, or in the case of a breach of any covenant or agreement, is not cured upon the earlier to occur of (i) the 30th day after written notice thereof is given by Buyer to Seller and (ii) the day that is five Business Days prior to the End Date; provided, that Buyer may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1.3 if Buyer is in material breach of its agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement and such breach is the cause of Seller’s breach;

8.1.4 by written notice delivered by Seller to Buyer, if (a) there has been a breach by Buyer of a representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or (b) there shall be a material breach by Buyer of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement, and such failure or breach described in clause (a) or clause (b) would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3.1 or Section 6.3.2 and has not been waived by Seller, or in the case of a breach of any covenant or agreement, is not cured upon the earlier to occur of (i) the 30th day after written notice thereof is given by Seller to Buyer and (ii) the day that is five Business Days prior to the End Date; provided, that Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1.4 if Seller is in material breach of its agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement and such breach is the cause of Buyer’s breach; or

8.1.5 by written notice delivered by Seller to Buyer or by Buyer to Seller if the condition set forth in Section 6.1.1 cannot be satisfied prior to the End Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1.5 shall not be available to a Party if the inability to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6.1.1 is a result of the failure of such Party to perform any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement.

8.2 Procedure and Effect of Termination.

8.2.1 Notice of Termination. Termination of this Agreement by either Buyer or Seller shall be by delivery of a written notice to the other. Such notice shall state the termination provision in this Agreement that such terminating Party is claiming provides a basis for termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1 shall be effective upon and as of the date of delivery of such written notice as determined pursuant to Section 9.2.

8.2.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 by Buyer or Seller, this Agreement shall be terminated and have no further effect, and there shall be no liability hereunder on the part of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, except that Sections 5.3 (Publicity), 5.4 (Confidentiality), 8.2.2 (Effect of Termination), 8.2.3 (Withdrawal of Certain Filings) and ARTICLE 9 (Miscellaneous) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. For clarity, in the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, the Parties shall not enter into any of the Ancillary Agreements not entered into on the Execution Date or have any obligations thereunder. Nothing in this Section 8.2.2 shall relieve any Party to this Agreement of liability for common law fraud or any material breach by such Party of any

 

62


representation or warranty of such Party contained herein or any covenant or agreement of such Party contained herein.

8.2.3 Withdrawal of Certain Filings. As soon as practicable following a termination of this Agreement for any reason, but in no event less than 30 days after such termination, Buyer or Seller shall, to the extent practicable, withdraw all filings, applications and other submissions relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement filed or submitted by or on behalf of such Party, any Governmental Authority or other Person.

The covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and, except for the rights of Buyer Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees under ARTICLE 7, they shall not be construed as conferring any rights on any other Persons.

9.4 Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver by any Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.
