-44-


10.4.3. Limitations on Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such judgment, compromise or settlement (a) provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money as sole relief for the claimant, (b) results in the full and general release of the Buyer Indemnified Persons or Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable, from all Liabilities arising or relating to, or in connection with, the Third Party Claim, or (c) contains no finding or admission of any violation of any Legal Requirements or the rights of any other Person.

-45-


10.5.2. Mitigation. Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses that may provide the basis for an indemnifiable claim (that is, the Indemnified Parties shall mitigate such Losses in the same manner that they would mitigate such Losses in the absence of the indemnification provided for in this Agreement provided, however, that the Indemnified Parties shall not be required to incur any undue expense or take any action that would cause undue hardship, including impairing its ability to conduct business). Any request for indemnification of specific costs shall include invoices and supporting documents containing reasonably detailed information about the costs and/or damages for which indemnification is being sought.

10.5.3. No Double Recovery.

10.7. Knowledge and Investigation. If any condition contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement based on the truth and accuracy of any representation or warranty, or the performance of or compliance with, any covenant or agreement is expressly waived in writing by an Indemnified Party, the right of such Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10 based on such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be deemed waived at Closing to the extent such waiver expressly states that such right to indemnification is also being waived.

10.8. No Right of Set-Off. The Buyer expressly waives any and all right of set-off against the Milestone Payment, the Milestone Buyout and the Promissory Note, including any and all right to apply the amount of any Losses referenced in this Section 10 against the Milestone Payment, the Milestone Buyout and the Promissory Note.

10.9. Exclusive Remedy. Except for remedies that cannot be waived as matter of law or the equitable remedy of specific performance in connection with the breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement, this Section 10 shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing for any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Indemnified Party relating to or arising in connection with (a) any breach of, or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in connection with this Agreement, (b) any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement which does not require performance after the Closing Date or any other Losses that arise in connection with this Agreement or with respect to which indemnification is provided in this Section 10; provided, however, the remedies provided in this Section 10 shall not be exclusive of, or limit, any other remedies that may be available to any Indemnified Party in the case of any Losses arising in connection with the commission of fraud or in connection with any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement in Section 2.

11. TAX MATTERS.

11.1. Tax Indemnification. The Seller shall indemnify, exonerate and hold free and harmless each Buyer Indemnified Person from and against any Losses attributable to (a) all Taxes (or non-payment thereof) of the Company and its branches and subsidiaries, except for those Taxes that result from any transaction (or deemed transaction by way of any election or otherwise) caused by the Buyer outside the Ordinary Course of Business of the Company and occurring on the Closing Date after the event of Closing (i) for all Taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and (ii) the portion of the Taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date for any Taxable period that includes, but does not end, on the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (b) all Pre-Closing Tax Period Taxes of any other member of the affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company was member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign Legal Requirement (including all Taxes of the foreign branches and subsidiaries included in the Excluded Assets), (c) any and all Taxes relating to Pre-Closing Tax Period of any Person imposed on the Company in the Company’s capacity as transferee or successor to such Person, by Contractual Obligation or otherwise, and (d) all value added Taxes arising out of or relating to the transfer of assets under the Inventory Transfer Agreement. Nothing in this Section 11.1 shall limit or expand upon Seller’s liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.

11.2. Straddle Period. In the case of any Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes of the Company based upon or measured by net income or gain for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, except that, any item caused by the Buyer outside the Ordinary Course of Business of the Company and resulting in Tax that is incurred after the event of Closing, but on the Closing Date, shall be allocated solely to the Post-Closing Tax Period. The amount of Taxes other than Taxes of the Company based upon or measured by net income or gain for Straddle Period which relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

The party requesting such cooperation shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the other party.

11.6. Tax Contests. Notwithstanding Section 10.4, the Seller shall have the responsibility for, and the right to control, at the Seller’s sole expense, the audit and/or litigation (and disposition thereof) of any Tax Return relating to taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and the Seller shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in the disposition of the audit of any Tax Return relating to periods ending after the Closing Date, if and to the extent that such audit or disposition thereof is reasonably likely to give rise to claim for indemnification under either Sections 10.1 or 11.1. The Buyer shall have the right directly or through its designated representatives at Buyer’s sole expense, to review in advance and comment upon all submissions made by the Seller in the course of audits or appeals thereof to any Governmental Authority relating to taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and to approve the disposition of any audit adjustment with respect to such periods, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Subject to the immediately following sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns, each of which such permitted successors and permitted assigns shall be deemed to be party hereto for all purposes hereof. The Seller may assign or otherwise transfer any or all of its rights or interests under this Agreement to receive any Milestone Payment (or Milestone Buyout, as applicable) from Buyer, with the consent of the Buyer, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and provided further, that the Seller shall have entered into an indemnity and release in favor of the Buyer, confirming that Buyer’s obligations to the Seller to make any Milestone Payment or Milestone Buyout payment shall be deemed to be discharged and satisfied in full to the extent Buyer makes such payments to the Seller’s designated assignee in accordance with the written payment instructions furnished to the Buyer by or on behalf of the Seller, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the other party, (a) each party hereto may (i) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates, and (ii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder, in each case, so long as the assigning party is not relieved of any Liability hereunder, and (b) the Buyer may assign and delegate this Agreement and all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to Qualified Successor (i) in connection with Change of Control of Buyer with such Qualified Successor or (ii) in connection with Product Transfer to such Qualified Successor, so long as, in the case of subsections (b)(i) and (b)(ii) of this Section 12.2, such Qualified Successor unconditionally assumes all of the Buyer’s Liabilities under this Agreement. Any such assignment and delegation of this Agreement made in conformity with subsection (b)

 

-50-


of this Section 12.2 shall operate to relieve the Buyer of its liabilities and obligations hereunder if such Qualified Successor expressly and unconditionally agrees in writing with Seller that it shall be bound by and shall assume, pay and perform all of the Buyer’s obligations as set forth in Section 2.5.3 of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and permitted assignees and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give any Person, other than the parties hereto and such successors and assignees, any legal or equitable rights hereunder

12.3. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Buyer and the Seller, or in the case of waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach or violation or default under, or inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach, violation, default under, or inaccuracy in, any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as waiver thereof.

12.4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Agreements and any documents, instruments and certificates explicitly referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto, except for the Confidentiality Agreements.

12.5. Exhibits; Listed Documents, etc. The listing or description of any item, matter or document in any Schedule hereto will be deemed to modify, qualify or disclose an exception to any representation or warranty of any party made herein or in connection herewith to which it reasonably relates.

Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision hereof would, under applicable Legal Requirements, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, each party hereto intends that such provision shall be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable Legal Requirements.

In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. Except as otherwise set forth herein, if any party has breached or violated, or if there is an inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached or violated, or in respect of which there is not an inaccuracy, shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party has breached or violated, or there is an inaccuracy in, the first representation, warranty or covenant.

12.10. Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights of the parties and all Actions arising in whole or in part under or in connection herewith, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive Legal Requirements of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (other than Section 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligation Law) that would cause the application of the Legal Requirements of any other jurisdiction.

12.11. Dispute Resolution.

12.11.1. If a dispute arises under this Agreement which cannot be resolved by the Buyer and the Seller prior to initiating an Action, either party hereto may invoke the dispute resolution procedure set forth in this Section 12.11 by giving written notice to the other party hereto, designating an executive officer with appropriate authority to be its representative in negotiations relating to the dispute. Upon receipt of such written notice, the other party hereto shall, within [**] days, designate an executive officer with similar authority to be its representative. The designated executive officers shall, following whatever investigation each deems appropriate, promptly enter into discussions concerning the dispute. Neither party may commence an Action of any matter hereunder (other than injunctive or other equitable relief) until the expiration of [**] days after its notice designating such executive officers.

12.11.2. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 12.11.1, in the event that the Seller elects to dispute the Buyers FDACM Notice certification described in Section 2.6.1(ii)(b), the parties will submit the matter to non-binding mediation and binding arbitration as follows :
