Section 1.5Third Party Consents.

(a)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Contract that may not be assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained or if any attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful; provided that, until the [**] of the Closing Date, Seller, at its expense, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as practicable, and upon receipt of any such consent, this Agreement shall constitute an assignment of such Contract to Buyer. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Acquired Assets in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, until the [**] of the Closing Date, Seller shall act as Buyer’s agent in order for Buyer to obtain the benefits thereunder and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer, in any commercially reasonable and lawful arrangement proposed by Buyer designed to provide such benefits to Buyer and for the assumption by Buyer of any related economic burden (including the amount of any related Tax costs that are attributable solely to the Contract in question and any other Liabilities imposed on Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with such Contract) arising after the applicable assignment, and shall make Buyer responsible for payment, performance and discharge when due, of all Liabilities of Seller with respect such Contract (other than Liabilities arising from any breach by Seller). Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 1.5 to the contrary, (i) Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived its rights under Section 5.1(g) hereof unless and until Buyer either provides written waivers thereof or elects to proceed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing and (ii) Section 5.1(b) and not this Section 1.5(a) shall apply to the Manufacturing and Supply Agreements.

(b)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Contract listed on Schedule 1.1(a)(i)(C) under the heading “Manufacturing & Supply” (each, a “Manufacturing & Supply Agreement”) without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained on or prior to the date of assignment specified on Schedule 1.1(a)(i)(C) or if any attempted assignment on such date would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful; provided that, between the date of assignment specified on Schedule 1.1(a)(i)(C) and the expiration of the term of the Supply

- 8 -

Agreement, Seller, at its expense, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as practicable, and upon receipt of any such consent, this Agreement shall constitute an assignment of such Contract to Buyer. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Manufacturing & Supply Agreement in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, between the date of assignment specified on Schedule 1.1(a)(i)(C) and the expiration of the term of the Supply Agreement, Seller shall act as Buyer’s agent in order for Buyer to obtain the benefits thereunder and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer, in any commercially reasonable and lawful arrangement proposed by Buyer designed to provide such benefits to Buyer and for the assumption by Buyer of any related economic burden (including the amount of any related Tax costs that are attributable solely to the Manufacturing & Supply Agreement in question and any other Liabilities imposed on Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with such Manufacturing & Supply Agreement) arising after the applicable assignment, and shall make Buyer responsible for payment, performance and discharge when due, of all Liabilities of Seller with respect such Manufacturing & Supply Agreement after the assignment of such Manufacturing & Supply Agreement (other than Liabilities arising from any breach by Seller).

Section 1.6Milestones; Related Covenants.

(a)Sales Milestones. Buyer will pay Seller the following one-time milestone payments (each, a “Milestone Payment”) the first time aggregate, Net Sales received in a Calendar Year for the Products by all Selling Parties on a worldwide basis (“Annual Net Sales”) meets or exceeds the amount set forth in the table below in any Calendar Year during the applicable period set forth in the table below (each, a “Milestone Event”). Each Milestone Payment will be due within [**] after the end of the Calendar Quarter in which the corresponding Milestone Event is first achieved. Each Milestone Payment will be made only once, the first time the Products achieve the corresponding Milestone Event and only one Milestone Payment shall be paid per Calendar Year; provided that, in the event more than one Milestone Event is achieved in a Calendar Year, the amount of the higher Milestone Payment shall be paid and the lower Milestone Payment shall become due and payable if such Milestone Event is achieved again in a subsequent Calendar Year. For the avoidance of doubt, if a lower Milestone Payment has already been paid during a Calendar Year and a higher Milestone Payment later becomes payable during the same Calendar Year, only the Milestone Event providing for the higher Milestone Payment shall be deemed to have been achieved in such Calendar Year and Buyer will pay the difference between such lower Milestone Payment and such higher Milestone Payment within [**] after the end of the Calendar Quarter in which such higher Milestone Event is achieved.

(c)Records; Audits.

(i)Buyer agrees to keep, and to require its subsidiaries, controlled Affiliates and Product Licensees to keep, accurate records for a minimum period of [**] after the end of the Calendar Year to which they pertain, setting forth as applicable the Net Sales, in sufficient detail to enable compensation payable to Seller hereunder to be determined.

(ii)Buyer agrees, upon not less than [**] prior written notice, to permit, and to require its subsidiaries, controlled Affiliates and Product Licensees to permit, such books and records relating to such Products to be examined during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept by the Neutral Accountant or another independent internationally-recognized accounting firm selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the “Auditor”) solely for the purpose of verifying Milestone Payments owed. Any such audit will not be performed more frequently than [**] and not more frequently than [**] with respect to records covering any specific period of time and will be conducted under appropriate confidentiality provisions, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy and completeness of all financial, accounting and numerical information and calculations of Net Sales related to a Milestone Payment. Before beginning its audit, the Auditor shall execute an agreement reasonably acceptable to the audited Party pursuant to which the Auditor agrees to keep confidential all information reviewed during the audit. The Auditor will only share the results of the audit, not the underlying records, with the Parties. Seller agrees to treat as Buyer’s confidential information all information received and all information learned in the course of any audit or inspection, except to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement or to the extent required to comply with any law, regulation or judicial order.

(iii)The Auditor will provide its audit report and the basis for any determination to Buyer at the time such report is provided to Seller before such report is considered to be final. Buyer will have the right to request a further determination by the Auditor as to matters which Buyer disputes within [**] following Buyer’s receipt of such report. Buyer will provide Seller and the Auditor with a reasonably detailed statement of the grounds upon which it disputes any findings in the audit report and the Auditor will undertake to complete such further determination, at Seller’s expense, within [**] after the dispute notice is provided, which determination will be limited to the disputed matters. In the event that the final result of the inspection reveals an undisputed underpayment or overpayment by Buyer, the underpaid or overpaid amount shall be settled promptly.

- 10 -

(iv)Any audit conducted by Seller is to be made at the expense of Seller, except if the results of the audit reveal an underpayment of milestones or other payments to Seller under this Agreement of [**] percent ([**]%) or more in the audit period, in which case (A) Buyer will promptly remit to Seller the amount of such underpayment and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses for such audit will be paid by Buyer.

(d)Meetings. Not more than [**], Seller may request a meeting with representatives of Buyer (reasonably designated by Buyer) having reasonably detailed knowledge of efforts, progress and plans relating to marketing, promotion, selling and commercialization of the Products. If Seller so requests a meeting, Seller and the appropriate representatives of Buyer shall promptly, and in any event not later than [**] following such request, meet in person or by telephone conference or video conference as mutually agreed by the applicable parties. The appropriate representatives of Buyer shall use diligent efforts to promptly and fully respond, during such meeting, telephone conference or video conference if practicable (or, if not then practicable, as soon as practicable thereafter), to Seller’s inquiries to the extent appropriate for the purpose of providing Seller with a reasonably detailed understanding of the efforts, progress and plans of Buyer relating to the achievement of the Milestone Events.

(e)Payment; Late Payments; Currency Conversion. The Parties understand and agree that the Milestone Payments, if earned, are an integral part of the consideration payable to Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and, subject to Section 6.6(b), shall be payable in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller without offset or counterclaim. Subject to Section 6.6(b), any portion of any Milestone Payment not paid when due shall bear interest from the due date until the date of payment thereof at a per annum rate equal to [**]% plus the prime rate announced by Citibank, N.A., from time to time; provided that, interest shall not accrue at a rate that exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, conversion of sales recorded in local currencies to U.S. Dollars will be performed in a manner consistent with Buyer’s normal practices used to prepare its audited financial statements for external reporting purposes, provided that such practices use a widely accepted source of published exchange rates. The Parties agree that the Milestone Payments shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated for Tax purposes as Purchase Price paid pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)Sale of Product. If at any time Buyer or any of its Affiliates directly or indirectly consummates a Product Line Sale, Buyer shall cause the acquiror of the relevant Product to assume Buyer’s obligations under this Section 1.6.

Section 1.7Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, as and when requested by either Party and at such requesting Party’s expense, the other Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are reasonably necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

- 11 -

Section 1.8Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such United States Taxes as any of them are required to deduct or withhold under the Code or Treasury Regulations with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and properly remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Buyer acknowledges that it remains bound by the confidentiality agreement, dated [**], previously entered into between Alcon Vision, LLC and Seller (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and any information provided pursuant to this Section

- 31 -

4.4 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide access to the extent such access would, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, jeopardize protections afforded Seller under the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine, be prohibited under any applicable Law, Contract or privacy policy or result in the disclosure of any trade secret. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall not (and shall cause its representatives not to) contact or communicate with the employees, customers and suppliers of Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of Seller which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

Section 4.5Books and Records. To the extent any Books and Records are not transferred to Buyer as Acquired Assets pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(i)(E) due to any requirement under applicable Law that such Books and Records be maintained by Seller, Seller shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provide copies of such Books and Records to Buyer at or promptly following the Closing; provided that, if required by applicable Law, Seller may redact the portions of such Books and Records that are required by applicable Law to be redacted, or held confidential, prior to sharing such copies with Buyer.

Seller shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates and all of its and their Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes hereof, “Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyer or any of its Affiliates) relating to the direct or indirect disposition, whether by sale, merger or otherwise, of all or any portion of the Business or the Acquired Assets.

(b)In addition to the other obligations under this Section 4.6, Seller shall promptly (and in any event within [**] after receipt thereof by Seller or its Representatives) advise Buyer orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, any request for information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making the same.

(c)Seller agrees that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 4.6 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to Buyer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer.

(a)During the Pre-Closing Period, Buyer shall give prompt notice to Seller and Seller shall give prompt notice to Buyer, of (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur of any event, which occurrence or failure to occur would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.2(a), as the case may be, not to be satisfied or (ii) any failure of Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, which failure would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.2(b), as the case may be, not to be satisfied.

(b)If (i) any such notice relates to the occurrence of any event arising after the Date of this Agreement (without breach of Section 4.3), (ii) such notice is accompanied by a Termination Right Notice and such Termination Right Notice describes bona fide matters that would reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) Buyer does not exercise its termination right prior to the Closing, then the information set forth in such notice shall constitute an amendment of the representation or warranty to which it relates for purpose of ARTICLE VI of this Agreement such that Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification under ARTICLE VI of this Agreement with respect to such matter to the extent of the information so disclosed. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and provide all such information as is reasonably requested by Buyer regarding the matters described in the Termination Right Notice.

(c)If (i) any such notice relates to the occurrence of any event arising after the Date of this Agreement (without breach of Section 4.3), but (ii) (A) such notice is not accompanied by a Termination Right Notice or (B) notifies of matters that would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect, then Buyer shall continue to have the indemnification rights set forth in ARTICLE VI with respect to such matters.

(d)Other than as set forth above, Buyer’s receipt of information pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall not operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by Seller in this Agreement (including Section 6.2 and Section 7.1(b)) and shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedules.

Section 4.8 Notification of Certain FDA Matters. During the Pre-Closing Period, subject to applicable Laws, Seller shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, provide Buyer with advance notice of, and a summary following, any meetings or scheduled conference calls Seller has with the FDA or its advisory committees or any other similar Governmental Entity regarding the Products.

(a)any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for any of those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a specified date, the accuracy of which shall be so determined as of that specific date);

(a)any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for any of those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a specified date, the accuracy of which shall be so determined as of that specific date);

(b)any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement; or

- 37 -

(a)Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 6.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 6.2(a) exceeds one percent (1%) of the Total Cash Consideration (the “Threshold”), in which event Seller shall only be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Threshold. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.2(a) shall not exceed $14,000,000 (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Threshold shall not apply to any Loss for which the Buyer bears the burden of a deductible or retention for such Loss under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(b)The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.2 shall not exceed the Total Cash Consideration.

(c)Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 6.3(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 6.3(a) exceeds the Threshold, in which event Buyer shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Threshold. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.3(a) shall not exceed the Cap.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(a) and Section 6.4(c) shall not affect or otherwise limit any claim made or available under the R&W Insurance Policy or apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in the Fundamental Representations, or (ii) Fraud.

(e)For purposes of this ARTICLE VI, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty and the calculation of Losses thereunder shall be determined without regard to any “materiality”, “Business Material Adverse Effect”, “Buyer Material Adverse Effect”, “material to the Business taken as a whole”, “material to the Acquired Assets taken as a whole” or phrases, words or other similar qualifications using the word material contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

(f)The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE VI shall be reduced by any amounts the Indemnified Party actually recovers under, in the case of Buyer or one of its Affiliates or Representatives, insurance policies (including the R&W Insurance Policy), and, in the case of Seller or one of its Affiliates or Representatives, any insurance policy maintained by any of them or other related payments from third parties actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or for which the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates on account of the matter resulting in such Losses or the payment of such Losses. Where Seller or one of its Affiliates is an Indemnified Party, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue, and to cause its Affiliates to pursue, all insurance and other third party claims to which it may be entitled in connection with any Losses indemnifiable pursuant to this ARTICLE VI it incurs. Where Buyer or one of its Affiliates is an Indemnified Party, Buyer shall submit a claim (and use reasonable best efforts to prosecute and obtain full recovery (subject to the limitations of the R&W Insurance Policy) for such claim) under the R&W Insurance Policy for any matter giving rise to indemnification hereunder that may be covered thereby or insurable thereunder (after taking into account any deductibles, retentions or other limitations set forth herein applicable to the R&W Insurance Policy). The

- 38 -

Parties shall cooperate with each other in pursuing insurance claims with respect to any Losses or any indemnification obligations with respect to Losses. If an Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate) receives any insurance or other third party payment (including pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy) in connection with any claim for Losses for which it has already received an indemnification payment from the Indemnifying Party, it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within thirty (30) days of receiving such insurance or other third party payment, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount previously received by the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VI with respect to such claim plus the amount of the insurance and other third party payments received, over (ii) the amount of Losses with respect to such claim which the Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this ARTICLE VI.

(g)Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any indemnifiable Loss upon and after becoming aware of any fact, circumstance or condition that has given rise to or would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any Loss for which it would have the right to seek indemnification hereunder.

Section 6.5Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE VI is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VI is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a)Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than [**] after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is damaged or prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, and if the Indemnifying Party provides irrevocable notice that it shall indemnify for such Third Party Claim and elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at any time following the delivery of notice of such Third Party Claim, to assume, the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that (I) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim involving criminal or serious reputational claims, and (II) if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim (v) alleges infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property right, (w) that is asserted directly by or on behalf of a person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, (x) that seeks a material injunction or other material equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (y) the assumption of defense of which by the Indemnifying Party is reasonably likely to cause a Buyer Indemnitee to lose coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy, or (z) whereby a Buyer Indemnitee or the insurer is required to assume the defense of

- 39 -

such Third Party Claim pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 6.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party provides written notice to the Indemnified Party that it elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, or, following an election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, fails to prosecute in good faith the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 6.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 8.1) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b)Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that the Indemnifying Party may enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party that (w) involves no obligation of any Indemnified Party, (x) involves only the payment of money damages all of which are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, (y) involves no finding or admission of fault or wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party, and (z) does not involve any criminal or reputational claims and would not otherwise reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect any Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 6.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than [**] after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is damaged or prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have

- 40 -

[**] after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such [**] period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.6Payments; Recourse.

(a)Once a Loss that is the subject of a Third Party Claim or Direct Claim (or portion thereof) is agreed to in writing by the Indemnifying Party or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a nonappealable final order, decree or ruling or any other nonappealable final action to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE VI by the Indemnifying Party (any such Loss or portion thereof, an “Indemnifiable Amount”), the Indemnifying Party shall pay such Indemnifiable Amount within [**] of such agreement or nonappealable final action by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such Indemnifiable Amount within such [**] period, such Indemnifiable Amount shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to [**]% plus the prime rate announced by Citibank, N.A. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

(b)If the Buyer or one of its Affiliates or Representatives is the Indemnified Party, and Buyer has delivered a notice of either a Third Party Claim or Direct Claim, Buyer may in its sole discretion elect to establish an escrow arrangement as a source of recovery for Losses arising from such claim. Citibank N.A. or another escrow agent mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller shall serve as escrow agent and Buyer and Seller shall promptly negotiate a customary indemnification escrow agreement utilizing such escrow agent’s then current standard form for such arrangements. An amount equal to the reasonably estimated maximum amount of the Losses arising from such claim as estimated by Buyer in good faith shall be set-off from the amounts otherwise payable to Seller pursuant to Section 1.6(a) and shall be paid to the escrow agent to be held as the escrow funds under the escrow agreement described in this paragraph. Such escrow funds shall be held by the escrow agent in an escrow bearing account disbursed in the manner customarily provided for in escrow arrangements of this kind, including that Seller shall be responsible for payment of income Taxes arising from escrow account and shall receive distributions from the interest accruing on the escrow funds to pay such Taxes.

Section 6.7Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

- 41 -

Section 6.8Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or any reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, as the case may be.

Section 6.9Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 10.13, the parties acknowledge and agree that the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to any and all claims against the other Party hereto (other than claims arising from Fraud on the part such other Party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VI. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VI. Nothing in this Section 6.9 shall limit any person’s or entity’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any person or entity shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any Party’s Fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no limitations (including any survival limitations and other limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VI), qualifications or procedures in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify the ability of Buyer to make claims under or recover under the R&W Insurance Policy; it being understood that any matter for which there is coverage available under the R&W Insurance Policy shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations, if any, set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy.
