Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any provision of Federal, state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Prior to deducting and withholding of any amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall inform Pfizer of any such requirement and engage in discussions with Pfizer relating thereto.

(b) The Aggregate Purchase Price ($450,000,000) shall be paid on the Closing Date in immediately available funds, by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions given by Pfizer to Purchaser not less than 2 Business Days prior to the Closing. The Aggregate Purchase Price shall be allocated as described in Section 3.02.

(a) Pfizer, on behalf of itself and the Seller Corporations, and Purchaser (i) have agreed to the allocation of the Aggregate Purchase Price among the Conveyed Subsidiaries and the Asset Selling Corporations as set forth on Schedule 3.02 (the “Section 3.02(i) Allocation”) and (ii) shall agree as set forth below on the allocation among the Purchased Assets sold by each Asset Selling Corporation of the Asset Purchase Price allocable to such Asset Selling Corporation as set forth on Schedule 3.02 (the “Section 3.02(ii) Allocation” and, together with the Section 3.02(i) Allocation, the “Allocation”).

(b) Each of Pfizer on the one hand and Purchaser on the other hand shall (i) be bound by the Allocation for purposes of determining any Taxes; (ii) prepare and file, and cause its Affiliates to prepare and file, its Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation; and (iii) take no position, and cause its Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the Allocation on any applicable Tax Return or in any proceeding before any taxing authority or otherwise. In the event that the Allocation is disputed by any taxing authority, the party receiving notice of the

dispute shall promptly notify the other party hereto, and both Pfizer and Purchaser agree to use their best efforts to defend such Allocation in any audit or similar proceeding, and the matter shall be handled as a Tax Claim described in Section 8.04(i)(B).

(c) Pfizer, on behalf of itself and the Seller Corporations and Purchaser acknowledge that the Section 3.02(i) Allocation was done at arm’s length based upon a good faith estimate of fair market values. Pfizer and Purchaser agree that Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and provide to Pfizer a draft of the Section 3.02(ii) Allocation (the “Sub-Allocation Draft”). Pfizer shall be provided with a copy of the Sub-Allocation Draft on or prior to the 90th day after Closing and, provided that Pfizer consents to the Sub-Allocation Draft (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Section 3.02(ii) Allocation shall be made as specified in the Sub-Allocation Draft.

(d) If Pfizer does not consent to the Sub-Allocation Draft, Pfizer and Purchaser shall use their best efforts to mutually agree on any amendments to be made to the Sub-Allocation Draft and the Section 3.02(ii) Allocation shall be made as specified in the Sub-Allocation Draft as amended. If an independent appraisal firm has not performed an appraisal to support the Sub-Allocation Draft, Pfizer may request such an appraisal to be conducted by an independent appraisal firm selected by Purchaser of such Sub-Allocation Draft, the cost of which shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Pfizer, if Pfizer reasonably believes that there is no reasonable basis for the Sub-Allocation Draft. Post-Closing adjustments, if any, to the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Conveyed Company or to the Asset Selling Corporation to which the adjustment relates, and shall be further allocated (if relevant for purposes of any applicable Law) to the assets to which the adjustment relates. The Aggregate Purchase Price allocation to such Conveyed Company or Asset Selling Corporation shall be correspondingly increased or decreased.

(e) If, after all other adjustments to the Allocation are made, the Allocation with respect to any Asset Selling Corporation, when expressed in the relevant local currency at the applicable rate of exchange on the Closing Date, is less than the local currency net book value as reflected on the balance sheet of such Asset Selling Corporation on the Closing Date, determined in accordance with GAAP, of the Purchased Assets of such Asset Selling Corporation as of the Closing Date, then the Allocation with respect to such Asset Selling Corporation shall be adjusted so that it is equal to such local currency net book value converted at the rate of exchange on the Closing Date and a corresponding adjustment will be made to the Allocation pro rata with respect to Healon AB and Pharmacia Groningen B.V. based on their relative Aggregate Purchase Price allocation. The “rate of exchange” for purposes of this Section 3.02(e) shall be the spot rate on the Closing Date as published by the Financial Times.

(d) The parties expressly agree: (i) that any breach by Purchaser of its obligations under Section 8.03(c) will cause irreparable harm to the Seller Corporations and the Conveyed Companies; (ii) that Pfizer has agreed to this transaction with Purchaser in specific reliance on Purchaser’s obligations under Section 8.03(c), and would not have otherwise agreed to enter into this Agreement with Purchaser in relation to the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) therefore, Pfizer is entitled to specific performance of Purchaser’s obligations under Section 8.03(c), and Purchaser hereby agrees in advance to the granting of such specific performance of such obligations without proof of actual damages or harm.

(e) In the event that any approval or action of a Governmental Authority (other than a Governmental Authority of the United States of America (or any state or subdivision thereof), of the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Sweden or the Netherlands) that is necessary to lawfully consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, or there exists any Law that makes illegal or enjoins or prevents in any respect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except with respect of those jurisdictions specified above, then Pfizer and Purchaser shall effect the Closing (including payment of the entire Aggregate Purchase Price), subject to the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Section 5.01), with respect to all Shares, Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities outside of the jurisdiction of any such Governmental Authority or such Law; provided, however, that the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in this Section 8.03 shall continue with respect to any such compliance with Law, approval or action until such compliance with Law, approval or action is obtained or taken, as the case may be, and upon the occurrence of such compliance with Law, approval or action, the parties hereto shall effect the transfer of the affected Shares, Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities in accordance with the Foreign Implementing Agreement for the jurisdictions relating thereto.

8.04. Tax Matters.

Pfizer shall prepare and timely file or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns in respect of the Conveyed Companies and the Asset Selling Corporations, their assets and activities that (A) are required to be filed (taking into account extensions) on or before the Closing Date; or (B) are required to be filed (taking into account extensions) after the Closing

Date and (1) are Consolidated Tax Returns of Pfizer and its Affiliates; (2) are with respect to Income Taxes and are required to be filed on a separate Tax Return basis for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date; or (3) are to be filed by an Asset Selling Corporation. Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns required of the Conveyed Companies, or in respect of their assets or activities or required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Business. Any such Tax Returns that include periods ending on or before the Closing Date or that include the activities of the Conveyed Companies or an Asset Selling Corporation (with respect to the Business) prior to the Closing Date shall, insofar as they relate to the Conveyed Companies or an Asset Selling Corporation (with respect to the Business) prior to the Closing Date, be prepared on a basis consistent with the last previous such Tax Returns filed in respect of the Conveyed Companies or such Asset Selling Corporation (with respect to the Business), unless Pfizer or Purchaser, as the case may be, concludes that there is no reasonable basis for such position. With respect to any Tax Return required to be filed by Purchaser for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), Purchaser shall deliver to Pfizer, at least 15 Business Days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (taking into account extensions), a statement setting forth the amount of Tax for which Pfizer is responsible pursuant to Sections 8.04(g)(i) and (iii) and a copy of such Tax Return. Pfizer shall have the right to review such Tax Return and statement prior to the filing of such Tax Return. Pfizer and Purchaser agree to consult and resolve in good faith any issue arising as a result of Pfizer’s review of such Tax Return and statement and mutually to consent to the filing of such Tax Return as promptly as possible. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall file any amended Tax Returns for any periods for or in respect of the Conveyed Companies with respect to which Purchaser is not obligated to prepare or cause to be prepared the original such Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 8.04(a)(i) without the prior written consent of Pfizer. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates may make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to its purchase or deemed purchase of any of the Conveyed Companies. If Pfizer determines that any of the Conveyed Companies is entitled to file or make a formal or informal claim for refund or file an amended Tax Return providing for a refund with respect to a period for which it is obligated to prepare or cause to be prepared the original such Tax Return pursuant to this Section 8.04(a)(i), Pfizer shall be entitled, at its own expense, to file or make such claim or file an amended Tax Return on behalf of such Conveyed Company and will be entitled to control the prosecution of such refund claims provided that any such claims are prosecuted in good faith.

(ii) Internal Restructurings. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Pfizer shall cause, and shall have the right to cause an election pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section ###-###-####-3 to be filed, effective from a date prior to the Closing Date, for those of the Conveyed Companies that are not United States entities to be treated as a branch or a partnership for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes, and copies of all such elections have been provided to Purchaser.

(b) Payment of Taxes. Pfizer shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all Taxes due with respect to Tax Returns which Pfizer is obligated to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 8.04(a); (ii) all Taxes due with respect to Tax Returns for Straddle Periods for which Pfizer is responsible pursuant to Section 8.04(g)(i) and (iii) all Non-Income Taxes with respect to Tax Returns for Non-Income Taxes to be filed by Purchaser on a separate

Tax Return basis for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date for which Pfizer is responsible pursuant to Section 8.04(g)(i). Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid (A) all Taxes due with respect to Tax Returns which Purchaser is obligated to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 8.04(a) other than Taxes which Pfizer shall pay or cause to be paid in accordance with the preceding sentence; and (B) all Taxes owed by the Conveyed Companies other than Taxes which Pfizer shall pay or cause to be paid in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(c) Tax Sharing Agreements. On the Closing Date, all Tax sharing agreements and arrangements between (i) the Conveyed Companies, on the one hand, and (ii) Pfizer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any other party (other than the Conveyed Companies), on the other hand, shall be terminated effective as of the close of business on the date that immediately precedes the Closing Date and have no further effect for any taxable year or period (whether a past, present or future year or period), and no additional payments shall be made thereunder on or after the Closing Date with respect to any period. At the Closing, Pfizer or one of its Affiliates (other than Pharmacia Groningen B.V.) will pay to Pharmacia Groningen B.V. an amount equal to the corporate tax provision for Pharmacia Groningen B.V.’s taxable year beginning December 1, 2003, as included on its balance sheet as of the Closing Date.

(d) Carryforwards and Carrybacks. Purchaser shall cause the Conveyed Companies to elect, when permitted by law, to carry forward any net operating loss, charitable contribution credit or other item arising after the Closing Date that could, in the absence of such an election, be carried back to a taxable period of the Conveyed Companies ending on or before the Closing Date in which the Conveyed Companies were included in a Consolidated Tax Return of Pfizer and its Affiliates. Except as provided below, Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby waives any right to use or apply any net operating loss, charitable contribution credit or other item (including any net capital loss, foreign tax credit or research and development credit) of the Conveyed Companies for any tax year ending on any date following the Closing Date to any period of the Conveyed Companies ending on or before the Closing Date. If any net capital loss, foreign tax credit, research and development credit or other item shall be carried back to any such period, Purchaser shall indemnify Pfizer and its Affiliates (other than the Conveyed Companies) for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Pfizer or any of such Affiliates in filing such claims or in connection with any audit of such claims. Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Companies), hereby agrees not to use or apply any net operating loss or net capital loss of Healon AB arising or incurred in any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, without Pfizer’s consent.

(e) Refunds. Pfizer shall be entitled to retain, or receive immediate payment from Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including the Conveyed Companies) of, any refund or credit with respect to Taxes (including refunds and credits arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date or otherwise) with respect to any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date relating to the Conveyed Companies or any Asset Selling Corporation; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser and the Conveyed Companies shall be entitled to retain, or receive immediate payment from Pfizer of, any such refund or credit to the extent that such refund or credit arises as a result of the use or application (as provided in Section 8.04(d)) of any net capital loss, foreign tax credit, research and development credit or

other item of the Conveyed Companies for any period following the Closing Date to any period of the Conveyed Companies ending on or before the Closing Date; and (ii) to the extent that Pfizer or any of its Affiliates (other than the Conveyed Companies) would, but for the carryback by the Conveyed Companies of any such net capital loss, foreign tax credit, research and development credit or other item, be entitled to a refund or credit in respect of any net capital loss, foreign tax credit, research and development credit or other item of Pfizer or any of Pfizer’s Affiliates (other than the Conveyed Companies), Pfizer shall be entitled to receive immediate payment from Purchaser of any such amount to the extent Purchaser has previously received a refund or credit from a carryback to Pfizer’s return, provided that to the extent that Pfizer or any of Pfizer’s Affiliates is entitled to a refund or credit in respect of any such net capital loss, foreign tax credit or research and development credit of Pfizer or any of Pfizer’s Affiliates in another tax period as a result of such carryback by the Conveyed Companies, Purchaser and the Conveyed Companies shall be entitled to receive immediate payment from Pfizer of any such refund or credit. Purchaser and the Conveyed Companies shall be entitled to retain, or receive immediate payment from Pfizer of, any refund or credit with respect to Taxes with respect to any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date relating to any of the Conveyed Companies. Purchaser and Pfizer shall equitably apportion any refund or credit with respect to Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period in a manner consistent with the principles set forth in Section 8.04(g)(iii).

(f) Tax Cooperation. Each of Purchaser and Pfizer shall provide each other with such information and records and make such of its officers, directors, employees and agents available as may reasonably be requested by such other party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or any audit or other proceeding that relates to the Conveyed Companies or the Asset Selling Corporations. Pfizer shall, within 60 days after the Closing Date, provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser a tax balance sheet reflecting the value of each asset transferred to or owned by Healon AB which asset values shall equal the values used by Pfizer, Healon AB or their respective Affiliates in preparing and filing their Swedish Tax Returns.

(g) Tax Indemnification.

(i) Pfizer shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Companies) harmless from and against all Losses arising from (A) all Liability for Taxes of the Conveyed Companies or with respect to the Purchased Assets for any Pre-Closing Period, (B) all Liability from any breach of Pfizer’s representations and warranties contained in Section 6.16 to the extent such Liability relates to (1) Taxes of the Conveyed Companies or the Purchased Assets for any Pre-Closing Period and (2) in the case of Pharmacia Groningen B.V., corporate income tax and value-added tax for the Pre-Closing Period of the fiscal unity to which it belonged during such period; (C) all Liability (as a result of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) and any analogous provisions of foreign laws including the Dutch Tax Collection Act (“Invorderingswet 1990”) or otherwise) for Income Taxes and, with respect to the Netherlands, for all Taxes, of Pfizer or any other Person (other than the Conveyed Companies) which is or has ever been affiliated with the Conveyed Companies, or with whom the Conveyed Companies otherwise join or have ever joined (or are or have ever been required to join) in filing any consolidated, combined or unitary domestic or foreign Tax Return, prior to the Closing; (D) any and all Taxes relating to any bulk sale or bulk transfer laws or similar laws with respect to the Asset Selling Corporations for a Pre-Closing

Period; (E) any other claim for Taxes for a Pre-Closing Period for which Pharmacia Groningen B.V. is held secondarily liable for Taxes and for which another Person is primarily liable; and (F) all Liability for any breach of Pfizer’s covenants in Sections 8.02(k) and 8.04 relating to Taxes; provided, however, that (i) to the extent such Losses are with respect to legal, accounting and appraisal fees and expenses, such amounts must be reasonable, (ii) Pfizer’s indemnity obligation for Taxes pursuant to this Section 8.04(g)(i) shall be reduced by refunds of Taxes (excluding carrybacks from post-Closing Date years to the extent permitted hereunder) with respect to such periods that end on or before the Closing Date that are received after the Closing Date by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and not previously remitted to Pfizer and (iii) in the event that the Healon Business Drop Down has not been completed on or before the Closing, any Liability for Taxes related to the Healon Business Drop Down shall be regarded as being for a Pre-Closing Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.04(g), Pfizer shall not indemnify, defend or hold harmless Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from any Losses arising from any liability for Taxes that are (a) attributable to any Purchaser Tax Act; or (b) to the extent of any net operating or capital loss carryforwards of the Conveyed Companies directly reduce such liability for such Taxes or (c) incurred by virtue of a change in the use of any property of a Conveyed Company resulting in an obligation to adjust value-added Taxes if such change is made after the Closing Date. Furthermore, Pfizer’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates from Losses as set forth in Section 8.04(g) shall terminate effective 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including extensions) in respect of such Losses; provided, further, with respect to a Tax Claim for which a claim for indemnification under Section 8.04(g) has been made by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Companies), with reasonable specificity, by written notice given under Section 8.04(i)(A), Pfizer’s indemnification obligation shall continue until the date of a final determination of such Tax Claim.

(ii) Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Conveyed Companies to, indemnify, defend and hold Pfizer and its Affiliates harmless from and against all Losses arising from: (A) any Liability for Taxes of the Conveyed Companies except to the extent Pfizer is otherwise required to indemnify Purchaser for such Tax pursuant to Section 8.04(g)(i); (B) any Liability for Taxes that is attributable to a Purchaser Tax Act; and (C) any Liability for any breach of Purchaser’s covenants in this Section 8.04 relating to Taxes; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser’s indemnity obligation for Taxes pursuant to clauses (B) and (C) shall include any additional Taxes arising as a result of a reduction in the amount of foreign tax credits that are available to Pfizer (computed as if Pfizer could have fully utilized all available foreign tax credits), (ii) the Purchaser indemnity obligation with respect to clause (B) shall cease to apply with respect to Purchaser Tax Acts (1) relating to Healon AB occurring after the 3^rd anniversary of the Closing Date and (2) relating to Pharmacia Groningen B.V. occurring after the 5^th anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) to the extent such Losses are with respect to legal, accounting and appraisal fees and expenses, such amounts must be reasonable. Purchaser’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Pfizer and its Affiliates from any such Loss shall terminate effective 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including extensions) in respect of such Losses; provided, further, with respect to a Tax Claim for which a claim for indemnification under Section 8.04(g) has been made by

Pfizer or its Affiliates, with reasonable specificity, by written notice given under Section 8.04(i)(A), Purchaser’s indemnification obligation shall continue until the date of a final determination of such Tax Claim.

(iii) In the case of any Straddle Period:

(A) The periodic Taxes of the Conveyed Companies or with respect to the Purchased Assets that are not based on income or receipts (e.g., property Taxes) for the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) shall be computed based upon the ratio of the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days in the entire Tax period; and

(B) Taxes of the Conveyed Companies or with respect to the Purchased Assets for the Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than Taxes described in Section 8.04(g)(iii)(A) above) shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date and, in the case of any Taxes of the Conveyed Companies attributable to the ownership by the Conveyed Companies of any equity interest in any partnership or other “flowthrough” entity, as if a taxable period of such partnership or other “flowthrough” entity ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(iv) Any indemnity payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 8.04(g) shall be made within 30 days after the indemnified party makes written demand upon the indemnifying party, but in no case earlier than 5 Business Days prior to the date on which the relevant Taxes are required to be paid to the relevant taxing authority (including estimated Tax payments); provided that any indemnity payment for Taxes that are with respect to non-Income Taxes and are required to be filed by Purchaser on a separate Tax Return basis for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date shall be made within 10 days after the Purchaser or its Affiliates makes written demand upon Pfizer, but in no case earlier than 5 Business Days prior to the date on which such Taxes are required to be paid to the relevant taxing authorities.

(v) Any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Section 8.04 shall be treated as an adjustment to the price paid by Purchaser for the relevant Conveyed Company or the Purchased Assets, as the case may be, for Tax purposes, unless a final determination with respect to the indemnified party or any of its Affiliates causes such payment to be treated other than as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes.

(h) Timing Adjustment. In the event that a final determination (which shall include the execution of an IRS Form 870-AD or successor form) results in a timing difference (e.g., an acceleration of income or delay of deductions) that would increase Pfizer’s liability for Taxes pursuant to this Section 8.04 or results in a timing difference (e.g., an acceleration of deductions or delay of income) that would increase Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ liability for Taxes pursuant to this Section 8.04, Purchaser or Pfizer, as the case may be, shall promptly make payments to Pfizer or Purchaser as and when Purchaser or Pfizer, as the case may be, actually realizes any Tax benefits as a result of such timing difference (or under such other method for

determining the present value of any such anticipated Tax benefits as agreed to by the parties). Such Tax benefit for federal, state and local and non-U.S. Income Tax purposes shall be computed for any year using Purchaser’s or Pfizer’s, as the case may be, actual Tax liability with and without giving effect to such timing difference.

(i) Tax Contests.

(A) If a claim shall be made by any taxing authority (a “Tax Claim”) which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to Purchaser or Pfizer or any of their Affiliates pursuant to Section 8.04, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the other party of such claim no later than 15 Business Days after such Tax Claim is made, or otherwise the indemnifying party will be released from any indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to such Tax Claim to the extent of the actual prejudice caused.

(B) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or relating to or affecting a Consolidated Tax Return, Pfizer shall control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in its sole discretion in good faith pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any taxing authority with respect thereto, and may, in its sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner. Purchaser shall be entitled to be informed of (i) such Tax Claim within a reasonable time after such Tax Claim is asserted and (ii) the developments with respect to such Tax Claim at any administrative meeting, conference, hearing or other proceeding.

(C) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.04(i)(B), Pfizer and Purchaser shall jointly control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Claim relating to Taxes of the Conveyed Companies or relating to the Purchased Assets for any Straddle Period. Neither Pfizer nor Purchaser shall settle any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(D) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.04(i)(B), Purchaser shall control all proceedings with respect to Taxes for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date.

(E) Purchaser, the Conveyed Companies and each of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Pfizer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall cooperate in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation shall include the retention and (upon request) the provision to the requesting party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at

proceedings relating to such Tax Claim. Purchaser shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section.

8.05. Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) Employees (US) - Offer of Continued Employment; Severance.

(i) Subject to Section 8.05(f), Purchaser agrees to offer to continue employment as of 12:01 a.m. on the day immediately following the Closing Date to each Employee (US) that is still employed (or, in the case of Employees (US) employed by the Conveyed Companies, to cause the Conveyed Companies to offer to continue the employment of each of their Employees (US)) in the same or a “comparable position” (as defined in Section 8.05(a)(v)) and at a rate of “pay” (as defined below) at least equal to such Employee’s (US) rate of pay in effect on the Closing Date and with benefits that are “substantially comparable” (as defined below) to the employee benefits set forth on Schedule 6.17.

(ii) From 12:01 a.m. on the day immediately following the Closing Date through April 15, 2005, Purchaser shall provide severance benefits identical to those set forth in the Pharmacia Separation Benefit Plan attached as Schedule 8.05(a)(i) (the “Pharmacia Separation Benefit Plan”) to each Employee (US) that meets the eligibility criteria for benefits under the Pharmacia Separation Benefits Plan. For the two year period commencing on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide severance benefits in accordance with such other Pfizer severance plans or policies under which such Employee (US) would have been eligible to receive severance benefits; provided that, if an Employee (US) receives severance benefits pursuant to the Pharmacia Separation Benefit Plan, he or she shall not be eligible for severance benefits under any other severance plan, program or arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser or its Affiliates may terminate an Employee (US) without paying or otherwise providing severance benefits to such employee in accordance with such policy and practice if such employee is terminated, in the reasonable discretion of Purchaser or its Affiliates, “for cause” under the terms of the applicable plan.

(iii) Schedule 8.05(a)(iii) (which shall be provided by Pfizer five days prior to the Closing Date, to the extent Pfizer has at least 10 days advance notice of the scheduled Closing Date) shall set forth the name of each then-current Employee (US), and his or her current rate of pay, position and date of hire. Purchaser shall have no obligation whatsoever in relation to (A) former employees of the Business who are retired, or who are not or shall have ceased to be Employees (US) as of the Closing Date, or (B) employees who do not accept the offer of employment or continuation of employment given by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 8.05(a) and do not work for Purchaser or its Affiliates for at least one day, unless such employee is otherwise an Affected Employee. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all salaries or wages (including commissions, bonuses, incentive pay, overtime, premium pay, shift differentials and severance pay) accruing after the Closing Date for services rendered and work performed for Purchaser with respect to the Affected Employees.

(iv) The following conditions of employment shall remain unchanged until the date immediately following the second anniversary of the Closing Date: (A) the pay and benefits comparability requirements described in Section 8.05(a)(v), and (B) the employee separation plan obligations described in Section 8.05(a)(ii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on the date immediately following the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide pay and benefits and severance plans, programs and policies which are no less favorable than those provided to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser, as the case may be. Employees (US) shall also be provided credit by Purchaser for all service with Pfizer and its Affiliates, to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by Pfizer and its Affiliates, under (A) all employee benefit plans, programs, policies and fringe benefits of Purchaser described on Schedule 8.05(a)(v) for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual, and (B) severance plans, programs and policies for purposes of calculating the amount of each such employee’s severance benefits; provided, however, that no such crediting of service shall result in a duplication of benefits.

(v) For purposes of this Section 8.05, references to “pay” shall include base pay plus bonus, rates for overtime, premium pay and shift differentials and comparable opportunity for commissions and cash incentive pay, but shall exclude retention and retention/performance allowances. For purposes of this Section 8.05, whether benefits are “substantially comparable” shall be determined pursuant to the analysis and procedures employed by Hewitt Associates in the report provided to the parties on or around April 15, 2004. The term “comparable position” shall mean comparable position, except that, with respect to Employees (US) eligible for benefits under the Pharmacia Separation Benefit Plan, the term “comparable position” shall be determined by reference to Section 2.06 of the Pharmacia Separation Benefit Plan, which is attached hereto in Schedule 8.05(a)(i).

(b) Qualified Plans.

(i) Pfizer sponsors the following Plans covering Employees (US) which are intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (collectively, the “Pfizer Qualified Plans”): the Pharmacia Savings Plan and Pfizer Savings Plan (these two plans, collectively, the “Savings Plans”) and the Pharmacia Pension Plan and Pfizer Retirement Annuity Plan (these two plans, collectively, the “Retirement Plans”). Effective as of the Closing Date, the Seller Corporations shall cause each Affected Employee who is a participant in one or more Pfizer Qualified Plans to become one hundred percent (100%) vested in his or her accrued benefit under each such Plan.

(ii) Effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day immediately following the Closing Date, each participant in a Pfizer Qualified Plan who is an Affected Employee shall cease to be an active participant under each such Plan, and shall become a participant in the Purchaser Qualified Plans listed on Schedule 8.05(b)(ii)(A) (such plans being collectively referred to as the “Purchaser Qualified Plans”); provided, that such Affected Employee shall not become a participant in a Purchaser Qualified Plan if such Affected Employee is not employed by Purchaser. Purchaser shall ensure that the Purchaser Qualified Plans will recognize the accrued service of Affected Employees, as

set forth on Schedules 6.17(g)(i) and 6.17(g)(ii), with Pfizer and its Affiliates up to and including the Closing Date for all purposes, to the extent credited under the terms of the corresponding Pfizer Qualified Plan as in effect on the Closing Date; provided, however, that no such crediting of service shall result in a duplication of benefits. Schedules 6.17(g)(i) and 6.17(g)(ii), which shall be delivered at the Closing, sets forth a true and complete copy of such accrued service data. Purchaser shall assume all liabilities with respect to Employees (US) under Purchaser Qualified Plans for benefits accrued after the Closing Date.

(iii) If Purchaser maintains (or establishes) a Purchaser Qualified Plan that corresponds with the Savings Plans, Pfizer shall cause, subject to Purchaser’s receipt of satisfactory evidence that the applicable Pfizer Qualified Plans are in compliance with all applicable Laws, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Savings Plans to transfer the account balance, in cash or such other medium as agreed to by Pfizer and Purchaser, of each Affected Employee to such corresponding Purchaser Qualified Plan as of the valuation date next preceding the date of transfer. Purchaser, on the one hand, and Pfizer, on the other hand, each agree to use commercially reasonable efforts and to cooperate with each other to effect as promptly as possible the transfers of assets contemplated by this Section 8.05(b)(iii), subject to Pfizer’s receipt of satisfactory evidence that the Purchaser Qualified Plans are in compliance with all applicable Laws. Such evidence shall include a current determination letter from the IRS and representations satisfactory to Pfizer from the administrators of the Purchaser Qualified Plans. If a current determination letter has not been obtained, Purchaser and its counsel shall provide a representation that the Purchaser Qualified Plans are qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that a timely application for a determination letter is pending and that Purchaser will take all necessary steps to secure a determination letter. Pfizer and Purchaser shall each bear their own individual costs regarding the transfer of assets contemplated by this Section 8.05(b)(iii).

(iv) Pfizer will give Purchaser reasonable access to records in its control necessary to administer the retirement benefits of Affected Employees transferred to the Purchaser Qualified Plans.

(c) Accrued Entitlements. Purchaser shall be responsible for all accrued but unused vacation Liabilities for Employees who become employed with Purchaser or its Affiliates as of the Closing Date consistent with Pfizer’s policies in respect thereof, to the extent such Liabilities have been properly accounted for on Pfizer’s financial statements.

(d) Welfare Plan Obligations. Commencing as of 12:01 a.m. on the day immediately following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall include those Affected Employees who become employed by Purchaser in its welfare plans and agrees to waive any waiting periods or limitations for preexisting conditions under its welfare benefits plans (including, without limitation, its medical, dental, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability plans), and any other similar plans, and shall ensure that such employees are given credit for any amounts paid toward deductibles, out-of-pocket limits or other fees on or prior to the Closing Date. Claims by an Affected Employee for welfare benefit plan services rendered on or after 12:01 a.m. on the day immediately following the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of the welfare benefit

plan provided by Purchaser to such employees. Claims incurred for welfare benefit plan services for Affected Employees rendered prior to and including the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of the welfare benefit plan of Pfizer or the Seller Corporation which covered such employees prior to and including the Closing Date. Pfizer shall arrange for the transfer of information related to amounts paid toward deductibles, out-of-pocket limits or other fees as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date but in any event within 30 days after the Closing Date.

(e) Employees (non-US) - Offer of Employment; Continued Employment; Severance. Except for Employees (non-US) in a country where the ARD has been implemented under local law, subject to Section 8.05(f), and to the extent employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates would not continue as a matter of law, Purchaser agrees to offer, or to cause one of its Affiliates to offer, to continue employment as of 12:01 a.m. on the day immediately following the Closing Date to each Employee (non-US) (or, in the case of Employees employed by the Conveyed Companies, to cause the Conveyed Companies to offer to continue the employment of each of their Employees (non-US)) at a rate of pay at least equal to such employee’s rate of pay in effect on the Closing Date and, subject to applicable Laws of the foreign countries and their political subdivisions, in the same or a comparable position and with benefits which shall be substantially comparable to such employee’s benefits which are in effect on the Closing Date. Schedule 8.05(e) (which shall be provided by Pfizer on the Closing Date) shall set forth the name of each Employee (non-US).

Other than with respect to matters the subject of Section 8.05(b)(iii) and except where the Laws of a country in which the ARD has been implemented require otherwise, Purchaser agrees that the pay, the substantially comparable benefits requirement, and the severance obligations for such Employees (non-US) shall remain unchanged until the date immediately following the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and that following such date, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall provide pay and benefits and severance plans, programs and policies which are no less favorable than those provided to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser or its Affiliates, as the case may be. Employees (non-US) shall also be provided credit by Purchaser or its Affiliates for all service with Pfizer and its Affiliates, to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by Pfizer and its Affiliates under (A) all employee benefit plans, programs, policies and fringe benefits of Purchaser or its Affiliates in which such Employee (non-US) is eligible to participate for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual, and (B) severance plans, programs and policies for purposes of calculating the amount of each such employee’s severance benefits; provided, however, that no such crediting of service shall result in a duplication of benefits. This Section 8.05(e) shall be subject to such modification as are necessary to comply with applicable Laws of the foreign countries and their political subdivisions (including, without limitation, obligations to notify, consult with and/or obtain the consent of Employees (non-US) as may be applicable); and applicable labor agreements.

(f) Employees (US) and Employees (non-US) Absent on Disability or Leaves of Absence - Offer of Employment; Continued Employment; Severance. Except for Employees (non-US) in a country where the ARD has been implemented under local law, when an Employee (US) or Employee (non-US) who is, on the Closing Date, absent due to illness or on short-term disability (including maternity disability) or workers’ compensation seeks to return to active employment within the lesser of six months from the Closing Date or the end of the leave

of absence available under Pfizer’s policies, Purchaser shall or shall cause one of its Affiliates to offer immediate employment to such employee in the same or a “comparable position” (as defined in Section 8.05(a)(v) hereof) to that which the employee occupied before such absence but only at such time that such employee is medically capable of performing the essential functions of the position occupied immediately before such absence. In addition, immediate employment in the same or a “comparable position” (as defined in Section 8.05(a)(v) hereof) will be offered by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates to those Employees (US) and Employees (non-US) returning from authorized leaves of absence such as parental, family and medical, and military leaves or other leaves where return to work is subject to statutory requirements. Such employees, returning from disability or leaves of absence, will be subject to the same pay, benefits, severance and all other policies, plans, programs and arrangements as stipulated in this Article VIII for similarly situated Employees (US) and Employees (non-US).

(g) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained herein, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Employee of any Seller Corporation or any of the Conveyed Companies any benefits under any benefit plans, programs, policies or other arrangements, including severance benefits or right to employment or continued employment with Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser for any period by reason of this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of this Agreement, in particular this Article VIII, are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and are not for the benefit of any third party.

(h) Assumption of Plans. Purchaser shall not assume any Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement that is maintained, contributed to, or required to be contributed to, by any Seller Corporation, except that Purchaser shall assume the German pension obligations to the extent included in Section 2.05(g). Purchaser shall not assume any Liabilities with respect to any Plan, including but not limited to (i) any Liability under Title IV of ERISA and (ii) any Liability to make contributions to a Plan pursuant to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA.

(i) Cooperation Pre-Closing. Pfizer and Purchaser agree to reasonably cooperate during the period prior to the Closing in order to effectuate the transition of employees from Pfizer and its Affiliates to Purchaser and its Affiliates, including but not limited to, the provision of reasonable information to allow Purchaser to implement payroll and benefits for such incoming employees.

(j) Continued/Reemployment with Pfizer. Purchaser will not be required to provide any severance pay or benefits to any Employee who remains employed with Pfizer or its Affiliates following the Closing (unless and until such Employee becomes employed by Purchaser under Section 8.05(f) above, in which case such Employee’s entitlement to severance pay and benefits shall be governed by the provisions of Section 8.05(a)(i) and (ii) above). Additionally, if within the three-month period following the Closing Date, Pfizer or its Affiliates employs or re-employs any Employee with respect to which Purchaser paid severance or provided severance benefits, Pfizer shall promptly indemnify Purchaser for such amounts.

(k) Assumption of Liabilities. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.05, Purchaser shall not assume: (i) any Liabilities with respect to any person that accrued or arose on or prior to the date such person became employed by Purchaser or its Affiliates; or (ii)

any Liabilities for benefits under any plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained by any of the Seller Corporations. Furthermore, Purchaser shall not assume any severance obligation with respect to Employees who are hired by Pfizer or its Affiliates in violation of the covenants contained in Sections 8.02(j) and (m). To the extent that Purchaser or its Affiliates assume any of the foregoing Liabilities or severance obligations automatically through operation of Law, Pfizer shall indemnify Purchaser for such Liabilities or severance obligations.

8.06. Certain Dividends, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 8.02), each Conveyed Company will be permitted to distribute to Pfizer or any one or more of its designated Affiliates, effective as of the Closing Date, up to the amount of its retained earnings accrued through the Closing Date, but not in excess of cash on hand and in no event to be effected through any additional borrowings from Pfizer, any of its Affiliates or any third person. In addition, Pfizer and its Affiliates shall be permitted to continue to conduct their activities regarding cash management matters relating to the Business (including the collection and transfer of accounts receivable and disbursement of funds by Pfizer) in accordance with the practice in effect as of the date of this Agreement, except as may be affected by actions taken pursuant to Section 2.04 and as may be necessary to settle intercompany payables and receivables and to effect intercompany funding.

8.07. Resignations. At the Closing and except as otherwise requested by Purchaser in writing, Pfizer will deliver to Purchaser the resignations (effective on or prior to the Closing) of all directors of each of the Conveyed Companies from their positions as directors.

8.08. Bulk Transfer Laws. Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller Corporations have not taken, and do not intend to take, any action required to comply with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer laws or similar laws.

8.09. Non-competition.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.09, Pfizer agrees that for a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, Pfizer shall not, and it shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, compete, directly or indirectly, in any material respect with the Business as conducted as of the Closing Date (“Competitive Activity”); provided, however, that it shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 8.09(a) for Pfizer or any of its Subsidiaries: (i) to engage directly or indirectly in the research, manufacture or sale of any products listed on Schedule 8.09; (ii) to engage, directly or indirectly, in the research, manufacture or sale of any human pharmaceutical, human consumer healthcare, animal pharmaceutical or animal healthcare product or any medical device for the delivery of human or animal pharmaceutical products; (iii) to invest in or own any debt securities or other debt obligations; (iv) to invest in any third Person (including any corporation or mutual or other fund) which invests in, manages or operates a Competitive Activity, so long as Pfizer’s and its Subsidiaries’ aggregate investment is less than 10% of the outstanding ownership interest in such third Person and Pfizer and its Subsidiaries do not control such third Person or conduct the Competitive Activity; (v) to invest in, own an interest in, or acquire all or a majority of the stock or assets of any Person which is not engaged primarily in a Competitive Activity; (vi) to invest in securities having less than 10% of the outstanding voting power of any Person, the securities of which are publicly traded or listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system; (vii) to invest in any Person after the

Closing Date to the extent that Pfizer or a Subsidiary had, directly or indirectly, acquired, or had a right to acquire, such interest prior to the date of this Agreement, provided, however, that such investments shall be limited to having less than 5% ownership interest in such Persons; or (viii) to own any equity interests through any employee benefit plan or pension plan. For purposes of this Section 8.09, “engaged primarily in a Competitive Activity” shall mean that greater than 20% of the aggregate net revenue derived during the last complete fiscal year of such Person (calculated on a consolidated basis) is derived from the Competitive Activity. Each investment or acquisition made by Pfizer or its Subsidiaries which is subject to the provisions of this Section 8.09 must be permissible hereunder at the time of such investment; provided, however, that any such investment which was permissible when made cannot thereafter be the basis of a claim of violation of this Section 8.09.

(b) For a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, Pfizer shall not, and it shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any officers, Employees, representatives or agents of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates engaged solely in the Business to leave the employ of Purchaser or any such Affiliate for employment with Pfizer or its Subsidiaries, or violate the terms of their Contracts, or any employment arrangements, with Purchaser or any such Affiliate; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.09(b) shall restrict or preclude Pfizer or any of its Subsidiaries from making generalized searches for employees by the use of advertisements in the media (including trade media) or by engaging search firms to engage in searches that are not targeted or focused on the Employees employed by the Business.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.09(a), Pfizer and its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to have violated the restrictions contained in Section 8.09(a) in the event that Pfizer or any of its Subsidiaries acquires (by purchase of stock or assets, merger or otherwise) or invests in any Person engaged primarily in a Competitive Activity; provided, however, that Pfizer or such Subsidiary thereafter divests a portion of such Competitive Activity within 18 months from the date of purchase of such Person or assets so as to be in compliance with Section 8.09(a).

(d) Prior to the Closing, except as otherwise agreed in writing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates will offer or provide employment on a full-time or part-time or consulting basis to any individual employed by Pfizer or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.09(d) shall restrict or preclude Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from employing personnel of Pfizer or any of its Affiliates who respond to a general solicitation of employment at their own initiative or who contact Purchaser for employment on their own initiative without any solicitation (other than a general solicitation) on the part of Purchaser.

(e) Pfizer and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that this Section 8.09 constitutes an independent covenant and shall not be affected by performance or nonperformance of any other provision of this Agreement. Each of Pfizer and Purchaser has independently consulted with its counsel and after such consultation agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 8.09 are reasonable and proper. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 8.09 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. If all or part of this Section 8.09 is held invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless

remain in full force and effect. If any part of this Section 8.09 is held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, such part will be construed by limiting and reducing it so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable Law.

8.10. Compliance with WARN Act, Etc. With respect to WARN Act or other similar Laws of any jurisdiction, Purchaser will timely give any notices or take any other actions as may be required thereunder.

8.11. Litigation Support. From and after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Pfizer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, will cooperate with each other in the defense or settlement of any Liabilities (including Product Claims) or lawsuits involving the Business for which they have responsibility under this Agreement by providing the other party and such other party’s legal counsel and other designated Persons access to employees, records, documents, data, equipment, facilities, products, parts, prototypes and other information regarding the Business and its products as such other party may request, to the extent maintained or under the possession or control of the requested party. The requesting party shall reimburse the other party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in performing its obligations under this Section 8.11. Pfizer shall keep Purchaser informed of the status of the pendency of the relevant Liabilities and lawsuits involving the Business for which it has responsibility under this Agreement, will advise Purchaser of material issues involved in the litigation and will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a confidentiality agreement with respect to any settlements of such lawsuits. For so long as any Liabilities or lawsuits involving the Business for which Pfizer has responsibility under this Agreement remain outstanding, Purchaser will advise Pfizer of material issues involved in the lawsuits involving the Business for which it has responsibility and will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a confidentiality agreement with respect to any settlements of such lawsuits.

8.12. Insurance. As of the Closing Date, the coverage under all insurance policies related to the Business (other than such policies as are included in the Purchased Assets, if any, or such policies, if any, held by the Conveyed Companies and solely related to the Business and not shared with other Pfizer entities, unless such policies are reinsured or otherwise covered by the Pfizer Corporate Insurance Program) shall continue in force only for the benefit of the Seller Corporations and their Affiliates and not for the benefit of Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to arrange for its own insurance policies with respect to the Business covering all periods and agrees not to seek, through any means, to benefit from any of the insurance policies maintained by the Seller Corporations or their Affiliates which may provide coverage for claims relating in any way to the Business prior to the Closing.

8.13. Trade Notification. Pfizer and Purchaser shall agree on the method and content of the notifications to customers of the sale of the Shares and the Purchased Assets to Purchaser. Pfizer and Purchaser agree that said notifications are to provide sufficient advance notice of the sale and the plans associated therewith, with the objective of minimizing any disruption of the Business.

8.14. Products Received by Purchaser. If any products of the Business shipped and sold prior to the Closing are received by Purchaser or Purchaser’s agent within 60 days after the Closing and Purchaser (i) pays a customer claim related to any such returned product or (ii)

replaces such returned product for no additional charge to the customer, then Pfizer shall within 15 days after notification from Purchaser, reimburse Purchaser, in the form of credit against any amounts owing under the Transitional Services Agreement, for all customer claims made against, or products replaced at no additional charge by, Purchaser in the amounts associated with such returned products which are received by Purchaser, or Purchaser’s agent after the Closing.

8.15. Foreign Implementing Agreements. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof Pfizer and Purchaser shall cause the Foreign Implementing Agreements to be prepared and executed by their applicable Affiliates.

8.16. Audited Financial Information.

(a) During the period from January 1, 2004 to the Closing Date, Pfizer shall, no later than 30 days following the end of each quarter, prepare and deliver to Purchaser, upon completion, copies of (i) an unaudited statement of the net assets to be sold in relation to the Business for the quarter then ended and (ii) the related unaudited statement of direct revenues and direct expenses in relation to the Business for the quarter then ended (the “Quarterly Financial Statements”). Purchaser acknowledges that the Quarterly Financial Statements to be delivered pursuant to this Section 8.17(a) will include a one month lag of data in respect of the international operations of the Business, consistent with the treatment of the international operations of the Business in the 2003 Unaudited Financial Statements previously provided to Purchaser.

8.18. Healon Business Drop Down. Prior to the Closing, in accordance with the provisions of the Healon Business Drop Down Documents and all applicable Laws and regulations, Pfizer shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, contribute to Healon AB the assets, properties and rights of the Business, as currently conducted in Sweden (the “Swedish Business”), as would be deemed to be Purchased Assets if such assets, properties and rights were transferred by an Asset Selling Corporation to Purchaser under Section 2.02 hereof, and Pfizer shall cause Healon AB to assume only those Liabilities of the Swedish Business as would be deemed to be Assumed Liabilities under Section 2.05 hereof and shall not assume any Liabilities that would be deemed Retained Liabilities. To the extent that any of the provisions of the Healon Drop Down Documents are contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, Pfizer and Purchaser agree that the provisions of this Agreement shall govern in all respects, including with respect to payment and indemnification. In such case, Pfizer and Purchaser agree to take

appropriate actions to fulfill the intent of this Agreement, including the transfer of such assets and assignment of such liabilities as may be required under this Agreement. Pfizer agrees that it will not amend or modify the Healon Drop Down Documents in any manner that would adversely affect the rights and obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement. Pfizer shall, and shall cause the Stock Selling Corporations to, fulfill the information and negotiation obligations and other obligations to consult and inform the relevant trade unions in accordance with applicable Laws and regulations prior to the Healon Business Drop Down and the transfer of the Employees.

8.19. Rooster Comb Agreements. Prior to the Closing, Pfizer will use commercially reasonable efforts to introduce Purchaser to appropriate representatives of the counterparties to the Rooster Comb Agreements, and cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, with the view to enabling Purchaser to negotiate its own arrangements for the provision of any services which Purchaser wishes to procure from the applicable counterparties or to amend and extend the term of the Rooster Comb Agreements.

8.20. Intercompany Receivables. Prior to the Closing Date, Pfizer shall, to the extent practicable, cause all intercompany receivables and all intercompany payables as at Closing to be paid or otherwise discharged in full. The net effect of the remaining intercompany payables and intercompany receivables to be transferred to Purchaser will be zero. Pfizer shall be responsible for any tax Liability arising from the actions taken pursuant to this Section 8.20.

8.21. Information and Consultation Requirements. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.21, Pfizer and its Affiliates and Purchaser and its Affiliates have complied with and shall continue to comply with, and Pfizer and Purchaser shall cause its Affiliates to comply with, all applicable Laws (for example, the Dutch Works Councils Act (Wet op de Ondernemingsraden)) or contractual or other obligations relating to the notification of, consultation with, and/or the receipt of any approval necessary to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from, any employees or any works council, labor union or organization, or any similar body representing employees and/or consisting of employees. Pfizer and Purchaser will each use their best endeavors to provide the other party with all information reasonably necessary in order to support the other party’s compliance with all applicable Laws relating to the matters described in this Section 8.21.

8.22. Covenant Not to Sue. Purchaser hereby agrees not to commence any litigation, action or other proceeding against Pfizer or its Affiliates based upon or arising from the matters set forth in item 5 in Schedule 6.08, which matters shall be the subject of releases executed by Purchaser and delivered to Pfizer and its Affiliates at the Closing.

8.23. Return of Non-Public Information. Immediately after the date of this Agreement, Pfizer shall request, and shall cause its Affiliates to request, the prompt return or destruction of all non-public information furnished to any person (other than Purchaser and its Affiliates and representatives) pursuant to any confidentiality agreement entered into by Pfizer, its Affiliates or its representatives with such persons relating to a potential acquisition of assets or securities of the Business or any portion thereof, or a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving any of the Conveyed Companies or Asset Selling Corporations and certify to Purchaser that such return or destruction has occurred.

8.24. Access to Facilities.

Prior to the Closing, and to the extent not possible, as soon as possible following the Closing, at Pfizer’s sole cost and expense, Pfizer shall obtain (or cause its Subsidiaries to obtain), and deliver to Purchaser written evidence reasonably acceptable to Purchaser of, all licenses, permits, applications, approval, authorizations, variances and other entitlements (and shall pay any and all fees, fines and/or penalties in connection therewith or related to the fact that there exist no licenses, permits, applications, approvals, authorizations, variances or other entitlements prior to such delivery) relating to the access road illustrated on Schedule 8.24 (the “Access Road”), so as to permit any owner of the Facility, and all guests, invitees and employees of the Facility or its owner, to use such Access Road as a right of way for ingress and egress to and from the Facility at all times and at no cost to Purchaser or any such owner or user (collectively, the “Road Approvals”). After the Closing, until such time as the Road Approvals have been obtained and written evidence of the same reasonably acceptable to Purchaser has been delivered to Purchaser (and, in the event that the Road Approvals cannot be obtained), Pfizer shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain an easement registered at the court to afford and allow (or cause its Subsidiaries to afford and allow) Purchaser, its affiliates and all guests, invitees and employees of the Facility or Purchaser, full use of the alternate road illustrated on Schedule 8.24 (the “Alternate Road”) as a right of way of purposed of ingress and egress to and from the Facility at all times and at no cost to Purchaser or any such user. After the Road Approvals have been obtained and written evidence thereof provided to the Purchaser, Purchaser, its affiliates and all guests, invitees and employees of the Facility or Purchaser shall cease using such Alternate Road and Purchaser shall take all necessary actions and execute all such documents at Pfizer’s expense to remove or de-register such easement.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

9.01. Indemnification by Pfizer.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, Pfizer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, judgments, awards, Liabilities, losses, costs or damages (collectively, a “Loss” or, the “Losses”) arising directly from (i) any Retained Liability, (ii) any breach by Pfizer of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement, (iii) any breach of any representation or warranty of Pfizer contained in this Agreement, (iv) any non-compliance with bulk transfer or similar Laws to the extent the underlying obligation to the creditor is not an Assumed Liability or (v) those Liabilities and Losses arising under subparagraphs (i) to (v) of the definition of Excluded Environmental Liabilities.

(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Pfizer shall not have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any Loss to the extent that such Loss relates to action taken by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall take and shall cause its Affiliates to take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach which gives rise to the Loss.

(c) Nothing in this Article IX shall be construed to impose Liabilities with respect to Taxes, and no provision of this Article IX shall be interpreted as altering the rights and responsibilities of the parties under Section 8.04.

9.02. Indemnification by Purchaser.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, Purchaser agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Pfizer, the other Seller Corporations, their respective Affiliates, and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses claimed or arising directly from (i) any Assumed Liability, (ii) any breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement, (iii) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or (iv) events occurring on or after the Closing Date in connection with the Business, the Purchased Assets, or the Shares including the use, ownership, possession, operation or occupancy of any Facility, Leased Real Property or Real Property, the Intellectual Property of the Business, the Purchased Assets, or the Shares from and after the Closing Date.

(b) Pfizer shall take and shall cause its Affiliates to take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach which gives rise to the Loss.

9.03. Notice of Claims.

(a) If any of the Persons to be indemnified under this Article IX (the “Indemnified Party”) has suffered or incurred any Loss, the Indemnified Party shall so notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly in writing describing such Loss, the amount or estimated amount thereof, if known or reasonably capable of estimation, and the method of computation of such Loss, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant hereto in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. If any action at Law or suit in equity is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which the Indemnified Party intends to claim any Liability as a Loss under this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such action or suit and tender to the Indemnifying Party the defense of such action or suit. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice and to tender the defense of the action or suit in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 9.03 shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX, except (i) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby, (ii) to the extent expenses are incurred during the period in which notice was not provided, and (iii) as provided by Section 9.05.

(b) Except when a notice, report or other filing must be filed immediately as required by applicable Environmental Laws, the Indemnified Party will provide notice and an opportunity to comment to the Indemnifying Party before the Indemnified Party files any Required Governmental Report or any other report, notification or filing with any Governmental Authority or third party in connection with an event that would be reasonably likely to result in a Loss subject to the indemnification provisions of this Article IX. In the event the Indemnified Party is required to file a Required Governmental Report or any other report, notification or filing immediately, the Indemnified Party will provide simultaneous notice to the Indemnifying Party when it files such report with the Governmental Authority.

9.04. Third Party Claims.

(a) The Indemnifying Party under this Article IX shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, any third party claim, action, suit or proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”), and the Indemnifying Party may compromise or settle the same, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party advance notice of any proposed compromise or settlement. No Indemnified Party may compromise or settle any Third Party Claim for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such action or suit through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control or conduct the defense or prosecution of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party nevertheless shall have the right to participate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and, at its own expense, to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose.

(b) The parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention and the provision of the Indemnifying Party records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and (ii) the making available of employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

9.05. Expiration.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Closing shall have occurred, all covenants, agreements, warranties and representations made herein or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Exhibit A or B shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations and warranties made herein or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Exhibit A or B, and all indemnification obligations under Sections 9.01(a)(iii) and 9.02(a)(iii) with respect to any such representation or warranty, shall terminate and expire on, and no action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any thereof or for any misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect thereto shall be commenced after 18 months following the Closing Date, unless prior to such time a claim for indemnification with respect thereto shall have been made, with reasonable specificity, by written notice given under Section 9.03.

(b) As to indemnification obligations under Section 9.01(a)(v) with respect to subparagraphs (ii), (iii) and (v) of the definition of Excluded Environmental Liabilities, such obligations shall terminate and expire on, and no action or proceeding seeking damages, relief or indemnity with respect thereto shall be commenced after, the third anniversary of the Closing Date, unless prior to such date claims shall have been made against the Indemnified Party and written notice thereof shall have been given to Pfizer under Section 9.03.

9.06. Certain Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IX, Pfizer shall not have any indemnification obligations for Losses under Section 9.01(a)(iii), unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $4.5 million, in which event Pfizer shall be required to pay the amount of such Losses which exceeds $4.5 million, but only up to a maximum amount of $90 million, except with respect to Losses related to breaches of the representations set forth in Section 6.02 and 6.03 of this Agreement, for which there shall be no maximum amount.

(b) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IX, Pfizer shall not have any indemnification obligations for Losses under Section 9.01(a)(v) in respect to subparagraphs (ii), (iii) and (v) of Excluded Environmental Liabilities unless the extent of the Loss exceeds, in the aggregate, $3,000,000.

9.07. Losses Net of Insurance, Etc. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 9.01 or 9.02 shall be net of (i) any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party, (ii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement received as an offset against such Loss (each Person named and source identified in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Collateral Source”), and (iii) an amount equal to any tax benefit that resulted in an actual reduction in cash payments for Taxes in the same fiscal year such Losses were incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith. Indemnification under this Article IX shall not be available unless the Indemnified Party first uses commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from all Collateral Sources. The Indemnifying Party may require an Indemnified Party to assign the rights to seek recovery pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will then be responsible for pursuing such claim at its own expense. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Sections 9.01 or 9.02 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party to this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article IX had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

9.08. Sole Remedy/Waiver. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contributions, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against Pfizer, the other Seller Corporations or any of their respective Affiliates, or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, as

the case may be, arising under or based upon any federal, state or local Law (including any such Law relating to environmental matters or arising under or based upon any securities Law, common Law or otherwise).

9.09. Indemnification Procedures for Remedial Actions.

(a) Pfizer shall have the right but not the obligation to conduct and control the management of a Remedial Action at a property owned by a Conveyed Company or included in the Purchased Assets that is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. Pfizer must notify Purchaser, within 30 days of receipt of notice of Purchaser’s claim for indemnification for such matter, (i) that it intends to undertake said responsibility or (ii) that more information is needed from Purchaser before Pfizer can reasonably determine that Purchaser’s claim is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser shall promptly respond to such requests for information (to the extent such information is reasonably available to Purchaser) and, within 30 days of receipt of such information, Pfizer shall notify Purchaser as to whether it shall undertake the Remedial Action. Prior to a determination by Pfizer that it will undertake a Remedial Action pursuant to this Section 9.09, Purchaser shall take only those actions necessary or which can reasonably be expected to be necessary to comply with applicable Environmental Laws or address conditions that pose an immediate and acute health risk (unless additional actions are approved by Pfizer).

(b) In undertaking a Remedial Action pursuant to this Section 9.09, Pfizer shall, at its own expense, retain a qualified independent environmental consultant, which consultant shall be subject to Purchaser’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld). Pfizer shall consult with Purchaser in all material aspects of the Remedial Action. Pfizer shall (i) undertake such Remedial Action to meet the Applicable Remedial Action Standards in a prompt and expeditious fashion, provided that Pfizer may exercise its rights, including its due process right, to contest any requirement imposed or determination made by a Governmental Authority with respect to the contemplated Remedial Action; and (ii) not cause, through its own inaction, any undue delay in obtaining written notice from the appropriate Governmental Authority that no further investigation or remediation is necessary with respect to the matter that is the subject of the indemnification claim to meet the Applicable Remedial Action Standards or, if no Governmental Authority is involved in such matter, a good faith determination from its environmental consultant that no further investigation or remediation is required to bring the applicable property into conformance with Applicable Remedial Action Standards. Pfizer shall comply with all applicable Laws, including all applicable Environmental Laws, pertaining to its performance of Remedial Action pursuant to this Section 9.09. Pfizer shall provide copies to Purchaser of all written notices, final submissions, final work plans, and final reports and shall give Purchaser a reasonable opportunity given the circumstances (at Purchaser’s own expense) to comment on any submissions Pfizer intends to deliver or submit to the appropriate Governmental Authority prior to said submission. Purchaser may, at its own expense, hire its own consultants, attorneys or other professionals to monitor the Remedial Action, including any field work undertaken by Pfizer, and Purchaser shall provide Pfizer with the results of all such monitoring. Notwithstanding the above, Purchaser shall not take any actions that shall unreasonably interfere with Pfizer’s performance of the Remedial Action. Pfizer shall undertake any such work required herein in a manner designed to minimize any disruption, to the greatest extent possible, with the conduct of operations at the Conveyed

Companies. Purchaser shall allow Pfizer reasonable access to conduct any of the work contemplated herein and shall fully cooperate with Pfizer in the performance of the Remedial Action, including providing Pfizer with reasonable access to employees and documents as necessary.

(c) If Pfizer declines to undertake the performance of a Remedial Action as provided in Section 9.09(a), Purchaser shall be entitled to undertake the Remedial Action to meet the Applicable Remedial Action Standards. Purchaser shall retain a qualified independent environmental consultant, which consultant shall be subject to Pfizer’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld). Purchaser shall promptly provide copies to Pfizer of all notices, correspondence, draft reports, submissions, work plans, and final reports and shall give Pfizer a reasonable opportunity (at Pfizer’s own expense) to comment on any submissions Purchaser intends to deliver or submit to any appropriate Governmental Agency prior to said submission. Pfizer may, at its own expense, hire its own consultants, attorneys or other professionals to monitor the Remedial Action, including any field work undertaken by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall provide to Pfizer the results of all such field work. Notwithstanding the above, Pfizer shall not take any actions that shall unreasonably interfere with Purchaser’s performance of the Remedial Action. Pfizer’s decision to allow Purchaser to undertake Remedial Action hereunder shall not limit or affect Pfizer’s obligation to indemnify Purchaser for said Remedial Action to the Applicable Remedial Action Standards as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

9.10. Limitation on Indemnification for Claims for Remedial Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Pfizer’s indemnification obligations under Section 9.01 hereof in respect of subsection (ii) of the definition of Excluded Environmental Liabilities and the matter described on Schedule 9.11 are subject to the provisions of this Section 9.10. Pfizer shall be responsible for the cost of such Remedial Action only to the extent necessary to meet the least stringent, most cost-effective standard required by applicable Environmental Laws consistent with the industrial/commercial use of the Facility as of the Closing Date, or a standard pursuant to applicable Environmental Laws acceptable to the relevant Governmental Authorities making a claim for Remedial Action (the “Applicable Remedial Action Standard”). Pfizer shall not be responsible for those costs incurred in connection with a Remedial Action to the extent such costs are caused by (A) a Release of Hazardous Materials in connection with Purchaser’s operation of the Business or (B) Purchaser’s negligent, knowing or reckless action resulting in the exacerbation of environmental conditions otherwise subject to the indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or (C) the Purchaser’s initiation of Remedial Action by Purchaser or at the request of a third party in the absence of a requirement of Environmental Law after the Closing Date.

9.11. Certain Matter. Pfizer shall, at its sole cost and expense, conduct and control the management of the Remedial Action with respect to the matter described in Schedule 9.11 in the manner prescribed by Section 9.09 and 9.10 hereof. The parties agree that, with respect to such matter, any and all notification requirements set forth in Sections 9.03(a) and 9.09(a)(i) shall be deemed satisfied and accordingly waive any and all claims based upon the adequacy or sufficiency of notice relating to such matter. It being understood that in the event that Pfizer’s conduct of Remedial Action at the nearby Diagnostics Facility caused certain Hazardous Materials currently being remediated at that facility (collectively, “Diagnostic

Hazardous Materials”) to become present at the Healon Facility in violation of applicable Environmental Laws, then Pfizer’s responsibility for Remedial Action under this Section 9.11 shall be deemed to include the Diagnostics Hazardous Materials as well. The parties hereby waive all notice requirements with respect to Remedial Action conduct pursuant to the discovery, if occurring, of Diagnostics Hazardous Materials at the Healon Facility.

9.12. Procedures and Limitations for Corrective Actions.

(a) With respect to matters covered under subparagraph (iii) of the definition of Excluded Environmental Liabilities that are subject to indemnification hereunder, Purchaser shall have the right, consistent with applicable Environmental Law and subject to the limitations in this Agreement and as set forth herein, to determine and implement the appropriate actions to correct any failures to comply with applicable Environmental Law in effect as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall consult with Pfizer in all material respects in connection with undertaking said corrective actions; shall provide Pfizer with copies of all material correspondence submitted to and received by any governmental authorities with respect to such matters; and shall provide Pfizer with a reasonable opportunity to comment on any material, prior to their submissions to governmental authorities, with respect to such matters, including corrective action proposals.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Pfizer shall not be obligated to indemnify Purchaser for those costs incurred in connection with the implementation of a corrective action that are in excess of the costs that would be incurred to achieve the minimum corrective action required to comply with applicable Environmental Law in effect as of the Closing Date, provided, that (i) the minimum corrective action for purposes of this section shall be sufficient to allow Purchaser to operate the Facilities in a manner and at a level of production that is consistent with the operations of the Facilities during the 12 month period prior to the date of this Agreement and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing subclause (i), Pfizer’s obligations under this Section 9.12, shall be only up to an maximum aggregate amount in respect to all such indemnifiable corrective action items of $5,000,000. It being understood that to the extent that Purchaser chooses to implement a corrective action that goes beyond this standard, including, without limitation, implementing a corrective action that allows for an expansion in operations at a Facility or that is required to achieve compliance with Environmental Law that does not become applicable to a Facility until after the Closing Date, Pfizer shall not be responsible for the additional or excess costs associated with such corrective action.

(c) For avoidance of doubt, corrective action contemplated by this Section 9.12 and within the meaning of the subparagraph (iii) of the definition of Excluded Environmental Liabilities (i) shall include the emissions reduction measure(s), if any, required to be implemented at the Groningen Facility by the competent Governmental Authority pursuant to its review of the Groningen VOC Emissions Study. The application of conditions and limitations of this Section 9.12 to this subsection (c)(i) shall be without regard to the Groningen Facility’s compliance, or the lack thereof, with those Environmental Law and Environmental Permit requirements applicable to those emissions that are the subject of the Groningen VOC Emissions Study at the time of the selection of the reduction measures; and (ii) shall not include any Remedial Action.

9.13. No Consequential Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR FOR DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOST PROFITS THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OR ANY LIABILITY RETAINED OR ASSUMED HEREUNDER.

(a) by written agreement of Purchaser and Pfizer, acting as agent for the Seller Corporations;

(b) by either Purchaser or Pfizer, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to December 31, 2004 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that if on the Outside Date the condition to Closing set forth in Section 5.01(b) shall not have been satisfied but all other conditions to Closing shall be satisfied or shall be capable of being satisfied upon satisfaction of the condition to Closing set forth in Section 5.01(b), then the Outside Date shall be extended to March 31, 2005 if Parent or Pfizer notifies the other on or prior to December 31, 2004 of its election to extend the Outside Date to March 31, 2005; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.01(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to have occurred on or before such date;

(c) by either Purchaser or Pfizer if any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent Governmental Authority of the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden or the Netherlands shall have issued a Governmental Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Governmental Order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; or

(d) by Pfizer, by giving five (5) Business Days prior written notice of such termination to Purchaser at any time subsequent to September 30, 2004, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the date of Pfizer’s notification solely as a result of the non-satisfaction of Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) hereof and Pfizer reasonably and in good faith believes, after consulting with counsel, that there is a reasonable likelihood that Purchaser and Pfizer will not be able to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 5.01(a) and Section 5.01(b) hereof prior to the Outside Date.

10.02. Effect of Termination.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 10.01, this Agreement shall thereafter become null and void and have no effect, and no party hereto shall have any liability to the other party hereto or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or employees, except for the obligations of the parties hereto contained in this Section 10.02 and in Sections 8.01(a) (“Information and Documents”), 11.01 (“Notices”), 11.07 (“Public Disclosure”), 11.08 (“Return of Information”), 11.09 (“Expenses”) and 11.11 (“Governing Law; Jurisdiction”) hereof, and except that nothing herein will relieve any party from Liability for any breach of any covenant set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated and at such time any party is in material breach of or default under any term or provision hereof, such termination shall be without prejudice to, and shall not affect, any and all rights to damages that the other party may have hereunder or otherwise under applicable Law. The damages recoverable by the non-defaulting party shall include all attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by such party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01(d), then Pfizer shall reimburse Purchaser for all of Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, up to an aggregate maximum amount of $5,000,000, incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby through the period up to and including the date upon which the termination occurs, such amount to be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds promptly following Pfizer’s receipt of adequate documentation of such expenses.

(d) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 10.01, (i) Purchaser agrees that the prohibition in the Confidentiality Agreement restricting Purchaser’s ability to solicit any Employee to join the employ of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall be extended to a period of 1 year from the date of termination of this Agreement, and (ii) Pfizer agrees that the prohibition in Section 8.09(b) restricting Pfizer’s ability to solicit any Employee to join the employ of Pfizer or any of its Affiliates shall be extended to a period of 1 year from the date of termination of this Agreement.

11.03. Assignment. No party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement including by sale of stock, operation of Law in connection with

a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such party without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except that Purchaser may without such consent assign its rights to purchase the Shares and the Purchased Assets hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates; provided, however, that no such assignment by Purchaser shall relieve Purchaser of any of its obligations hereunder.

11.04. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Schedules and Exhibits hereto) contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, except for (i) the Confidentiality Agreement which will remain in full force and effect for the term provided for therein and (ii) any written agreement of the parties that expressly provides that it is not superseded by this Agreement.

11.05. Fulfillment of Obligations; Cooperation.

(a) Any obligation of any party to any other party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled by an Affiliate of such party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such party.

(b) On or after the Closing Date, the parties shall, on request, cooperate with one another by furnishing any additional information, executing and delivering any additional documents and instruments, including contract assignments, and doing any and all such other things as may be reasonably required by the parties or their counsel to consummate or otherwise implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Pfizer agrees to execute transfer documents for all Intellectual Property rights, in a recordable form provided by Purchaser for each jurisdiction where such property is registered, at, or as soon as practicable following, Closing. Pfizer shall have the continuing obligation after Closing, with its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses to be reimbursed by Purchaser, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in the registration of the transfers for, and/or in the enforcement of, and/or maintenance of any Intellectual Property rights after Closing until such transfers are completed pursuant to the requirements of each jurisdiction. Following Closing, Purchaser shall pay the expenses of preparing and recording such transfers, to the extent they have not been provided at Closing.

(d) Prior to the Closing, Pfizer will provide to Purchaser access and cooperation as described in Schedule 11.05(d).

11.06. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in Article IX hereof, nothing in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Purchaser or Pfizer, or their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

11.07. Public Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement hereby agrees with the other party hereto that, except as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Laws, and the rules and

regulations of each stock exchange upon which the securities of one of the parties is listed, if any, no press release or similar public announcement or communication shall, if prior to the Closing, be made or caused to be made concerning the execution or performance of this Agreement unless the parties shall have consulted in advance with respect thereto.

11.08. Return of Information. If for any reason whatsoever the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, Purchaser shall promptly return to Pfizer all books and records furnished by Pfizer, any other Seller Corporation, any Conveyed Company or any of their respective Affiliates, agents, employees or representatives (including all copies, summaries and abstracts, if any, thereof) in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

11.09. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the party incurring such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing and Section 8.04(b), all Taxes (including any value added taxes but excluding any Income Taxes or any interest, penalties, surtax or other similar Tax imposed with respect to such Income Taxes) and fees (including notarial fees) incurred solely as a result of the transfer of the Shares and the Purchased Assets shall be paid by the Person liable therefor, but the Liability for such Taxes and fees as between Pfizer and Purchaser shall be borne as follows: (a) in respect of any such Taxes and fees that are refundable or in respect of which a credit is, or becomes, available, by Purchaser and (b) in respect of any other such Taxes or fees not falling within subclause (a) above, equally by Pfizer, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand; provided, however, that (i) if any such Tax or any other Tax or fee from which there otherwise could have been a refund or a credit becomes payable or non-refundable as a result of Purchaser’s failing to register or become liable for such Tax or fee, such Tax or fee shall be borne solely by Purchaser, (ii) the parties acknowledge that no Dutch or Swedish value-added Tax will be charged on the transfer of the Shares and (iii) the sale of real property taking place as part of the Healon Business Dropdown shall be governed by the Real Property Sale Agreement (attached as Exhibit I hereto). Each party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain any available exemption from, or recovery or refund with respect to any assessment of, transfer taxes and to cooperate with the other party in providing any information or documentation that may be necessary to obtain such exemption or recovery. Pfizer or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall on demand reimburse the other for its share of any such Taxes or fees paid by the other in accordance with this Section 11.09.

11.10. Schedules. Pfizer shall have the right to amend or supplement, within 20 days after the date of this Agreement, Schedules 2.02(h), 6.03(b)(ii), 6.07, 6.10(c), 6.12(a), 6.13(b), 6.14(c), 6.17(g)(i), 6.17(g)(ii), 6.17(h) and 6.20 to reflect disclosures required by differences in the relevant sections between the draft of this Agreement (entitled “Bid Form Agreement”) and this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to Schedules 6.17(g)(i), 6.17(g)(ii) and 6.17(h), Pfizer shall only have the right to amend or supplement such Schedules within 10 days after the date of this Agreement. The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule to this Agreement, as may be amended or supplemented prior to the Closing, shall be deemed to be a disclosure for all purposes of this Agreement, but shall not be deemed to constitute an admission by Pfizer or Purchaser, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement.

11.11. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

(b) With respect to any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement (each, a “Proceeding”), each party hereto irrevocably (i) agrees and consents to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court sitting in New York City and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceeding brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceeding, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers CT Corporation System, with offices located in New York, New York, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf service of any legal process, summons notices and documents which may be served in any such Proceeding. If for any reason CT Corporation System is unable or unwilling to continue to act as such designee, appointee and agent, Purchaser agrees to immediately appoint a successor designee, appointee and agent in New York City acceptable to Pfizer.

11.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.

11.13. Headings. The heading references herein and the table of contents hereto are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

11.14. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or entity or any circumstance, is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (i) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons, entities or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
