17
any financial accommodation in connection with any action required to be taken pursuant to this Section 2.6.

Section 8.2 Payments Received. Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, each agree that, after the Closing, each will hold and will promptly transfer and deliver to the other, from time to time as and when received by them, any cash, checks with appropriate endorsements (using their best efforts not to convert such checks into cash) or other property that they may receive on or after the Closing which properly belongs to the other and will account to the other for all such receipts.

Neither Sellers nor Buyer shall take any action to encourage or delay return of any Product. If Sellers or Buyer receive a Product for which the other was responsible as set forth in Section 8.4(b), that party shall ship the returned Product to the responsible party at the expense of the responsible party, together with such information as is necessary to support the return. All payments due to Sellers from Buyer or due to Buyer from Sellers under this Section 8.4(b), shall be made within 30 days of
38
submission to the responsible party of invoices that describe the requested payment in reasonable detail.

The Parties also agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts, and in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing, to take any and all other actions required by the FDA, Health Canada, or other Governmental Authority, if any, to effect the transfer of the Product Registrations from Sellers to Buyer. For greater certainty, Buyer may not market or sell Products in Canada prior to completion of the filings of the required notices and information contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 8.5(a).

(a) Serious Adverse Events related to any Product of which Sellers become aware shall be submitted to Buyer within three (3) Business Days but no more than four (4) calendar days from the date Sellers first become aware of such Serious Adverse Event. Non-Serious Adverse Events for any Product that are reported to Sellers shall be submitted to Buyer no more than one (1) month from the date received by Sellers; provided, however, that medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent a Serious Adverse Event outcome. In no event shall Sellers submit to Buyer any adverse event report or similar information that does not relate to the Products.
(b) Until the reporting procedures referenced in Section 8.6(d) herein have been instituted by Buyer and Sellers, a Serious Adverse Event for any Product shall have the meaning set forth in 21 C.F.R. § 314.80(a), as amended from time to time, and a Non-Serious Adverse Event for any Product is defined any adverse event that is not a Serious Adverse Event.
(c) As provided in Section 8.5(c) above, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall be solely responsible for reporting adverse events related to the Products to Governmental Authorities to the extent required by applicable Laws.
(d) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer and Sellers shall discuss and develop mutually acceptable guidelines and procedures for the receipt, recordation, reporting, communication (as between the Parties) and exchange of Serious Adverse Event and Non-Serious Adverse Event information, as applicable, to the other Party; provided that Buyer shall have exclusive responsibility for communications with Governmental Authorities concerning the Products and related Serious Adverse Event and Non-Serious Adverse Event information.

Buyer and its Affiliates shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and any of their Affiliates for any claims (other than claims resulting from the gross negligence of Sellers or any of their Affiliates or representatives) arising from or relating to the use by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of the Sellers Brand pursuant to this Section 8.7. The Parties agree that damages would be an inadequate remedy in the event of a breach of this Section 8.7, and that a Person seeking to enforce this Section 8.7 shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any breach hereof in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.
Section 8.8 Post-Closing Books and Records and Personnel.

To the extent all or any portion of the Nycomed Award Amount may be payable to Buyers in future increments. Buyers and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith appropriate arrangements for the payment to Sellers of Sellers portion of such delayed payments either (x) over time as such amounts are received by Buyers or (y) as a single lump sum of the agreed net present value of such payment streams.

TERMINATION
Section 11.1 Termination Events. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:
(a) by either Sellers or Buyer:
(i) if the Bankruptcy Court declines to approve this Agreement for any reason, if the Canadian Court fails to enter the Canadian Sale and Vesting Order or if a Governmental Authority issues a final, non-appealable ruling or Order permanently prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby, provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(a)(i) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein results in such ruling or Order;
(ii) by mutual written consent of Sellers and Buyer; or
(iii) if the Closing shall not have occurred by the close of business on January 27, 2012 (the Outside Date); provided, however, that (A) Buyer shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(a)(iii) only if (x) Buyer is not in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein in such a way that would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.1 or Section 10.4 to be satisfied and (y) Buyer has provided written notice to Sellers of its intention to exercise its rights under this Section 11.1(a)(iii) and Sellers have not taken all actions necessary to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice from Buyer, and (B) Sellers shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(a)(iii) only if (x) Sellers are not themselves in breach of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein in such a way that would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 to be satisfied and (y) Sellers have provided written notice to Buyer of their intention to exercise their rights under this Section 11.1(a)(iii) and Buyer has not taken all actions necessary to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice from Sellers.
(b) by Buyer:
(i) in the event of any breach by any Seller of any of its agreements, covenants, representations or warranties contained herein (provided such breach would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 to be satisfied), and the failure of Sellers to cure such breach by the earlier of (A) the Outside Date and (B) the date that is thirty (30) days after receipt of the Buyer
46
Termination Notice; provided, however, that (1) Buyer is not in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Sale Order, (2) Buyer notifies Sellers in writing (the Buyer Termination Notice) of its intention to exercise its rights under this Section 11.1(b)(i) as a result of the breach, and (3) Buyer specifies in the Buyer Termination Notice the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein of which Sellers are allegedly in breach;
(ii) if the Bankruptcy Case is dismissed or converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and neither such dismissal nor conversion expressly contemplates the transactions provided for in this Agreement; or
(iii) if the Sale Order has not been entered on or before January 2, 2012 (or is vacated or stayed as of such date).
(c) by Sellers in the event of any breach by Buyer of any of its agreements, covenants, representations or warranties contained herein (provided such breach would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.1 or Section 10.4 to be satisfied), and the failure of Buyer to cure such breach by the earlier of (A) the Outside Date and (B) the date that is thirty (30) days after receipt of the Sellers Termination Notice; provided, however, that Sellers (1) are not themselves in material breach of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Sale Order, (2) with concurrence of the Receiver, notify Buyer in writing (the Sellers Termination Notice) of their intention to exercise their rights under this Section 11.1(c) as a result of the breach, and (3) specify in the Sellers Termination Notice the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein of which Buyer is allegedly in breach.
Section 11.2 Effect of Termination.
(a) In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c), the Escrow Agent shall, within two (2) Business Days after receiving joint notice of the Buyer Default Termination from Sellers and Buyer, disburse the Deposit to an account designated by Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to be retained by Sellers for their own account; provided that disbursement of the Deposit shall not constitute liquidated damages or otherwise limit Sellers remedies against Buyer in any respect of any claim against Buyer arising under this Agreement or otherwise (except that any damages that may be awarded against Buyer by any court shall be reduced by the amount of the Deposit). Sellers acknowledge and agree that, in such event, the Deposit shall be allocated among US Sellers and Canadian Seller on the same basis as contemplated by clause (i) of Section 3.5.
(b) In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article XI (other than a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c)), Sellers and Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent to, and the Escrow Agent shall, promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days of such instruction) return to Buyer the Deposit by wire transfer of
47
immediately available funds and the return thereof shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer in the event of a termination hereunder.

Section 12.3 Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no waiver that may be given by a Party shall be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given, and (b) no notice to or demand on one Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand.
Section 12.4 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement (including the Schedules and the Exhibits) and the other Transaction Documents supersede all prior agreements between Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, with respect to its subject matter and constitute a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreements between Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, with respect to their subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by all of the Parties.
Section 12.5 Assignment. This Agreement, and the rights, interests and obligations hereunder, shall not be assigned by any Party by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of the other Parties (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such other Party); provided, however, that Buyer shall be permitted, upon prior notice to Sellers, to assign all or part of its rights or obligations hereunder to an Affiliate, but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement, and Sellers shall be permitted to assign all or part of their rights or obligations hereunder pursuant to a plan of reorganization or liquidation approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
Section 12.6 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 provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) 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 (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability.
Section 12.7 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Parties shall bear their own respective expenses (including all compensation and expenses of counsel, financial advisors, consultants, actuaries and independent
50
accountants) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (except as otherwise specified herein).
Section 12.8 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Jury Trial Waiver.
(a) Except to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or the provisions of the CJA or other Laws applicable in the Canadian Proceedings apply, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to Contracts made and to be performed entirely in such state without regard to principles of conflicts or choice of laws or any other law that would make the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware applicable hereto.
(b) Without limitation of any Partys right to appeal any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for such matters as must be dealt with by the Canadian Court in the Canadian Proceedings) and (ii) any and all claims relating to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court, and the Parties hereby consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Proceeding; provided, however, that, if the Bankruptcy Case is closed, all Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in a Delaware state court or a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, and the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such Proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Proceeding. The Parties consent to service of process by mail (in accordance with Section 12.2) or any other manner permitted by law.
(c) THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF SELLERS OR BUYER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES IN THE NEGOTIATION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF.
Section 12.9 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original of this Agreement or such amendment and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.2, delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any amendment hereto by telecopier, facsimile or email attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such amendment, as applicable.
Section 12.10 Parties in Interest; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted
51
assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable benefit, claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind.
Section 12.11 Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, unitholder, partner or equityholder of any Seller shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Sellers under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and Buyer hereby covenants, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, not to sue any past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, unitholder, partner or equityholder of any Seller for any such claim.
Section 12.12 Schedules; Materiality. The inclusion of any matter in any Schedule shall be deemed to be an inclusion for all purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such disclosure is sufficient to identify the Section to which such disclosure is responsive, but inclusion therein shall not be deemed to constitute an admission, or otherwise imply, that any such matter is material or creates a measure for materiality for purposes of this Agreement. The disclosure of any particular fact or item in any Schedule shall not be deemed an admission as to whether the fact or item is material or would constitute a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 12.13 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) irreparable injury, for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, will occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or are otherwise breached, and (b) the non-breaching Party or Parties shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, to obtain (without the posting of any bond) specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. If any Proceeding is brought by the non-breaching Party or Parties to enforce this Agreement, the Party in breach shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
Section 12.14 Survival. All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms. All other covenants and agreements contained herein, and all representations and warranties contained herein or in any certificated deliveries hereunder, shall not survive the Closing and shall thereupon terminate.
Section 12.15 Prepetition Claims and Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and taking into account US Sellers status as debtors-in-possession in the Bankruptcy Cases and the limitations set forth in the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, with respect the payment of prepetition claims (including, without limitation, prepetition claims on account of Rebates, returns, Chargebacks or coupons)), US Seller shall not be required to pay or otherwise satisfy any prepetition claims or liabilities (other than (i) Sellers obligations to pay Cure Costs to the extent required by this Agreement, (ii) Sellers obligations to pay any fees due to any regulatory authority in the Ordinary Course of Business in accordance with Section 7.2(a), except, for the avoidance of doubt, those related to any Rebates, returns, Chargebacks or coupons, (iii) Sellers obligations under Section 7.2(b)(iii) to pay any Governmental Authority with respect to the prosecution and maintenance of applicable material Registered Business Intellectual Property, and (iv) Sellers obligations to Buyer under Sections
52
3.2, 11.2(b) and 11.2(c) of this Agreement) and none of Sellers covenants or obligations hereunder shall be construed, directly or indirectly, to require such payment or satisfaction.
Section 12.16 Receiver. For greater certainty, nothing herein or in any bill of sale or similar document shall constitute an express or implied representation or warranty by the Receiver or shall create any liability or obligation for the Receiver.
