ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 8, 2006, (the “Agreement Date”) between MedImmune, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and ZLB Behring AG, a Swiss corporation (“Purchaser”).

Recitals

WHEREAS, Seller owns certain assets relating to the manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of a biological product known as CytoGam® (cytomegalovirus immune globulin intravenous) (the “Product”), which assets are referred to herein as the Acquired Assets (as more particularly defined below); and

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, the Acquired Assets (as defined below), and Purchaser has agreed to assume from Seller the Assumed Liabilities (as defined below), all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, except as otherwise expressly provided, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Annex A.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1.                                      SALE AND PURCHASE OF ASSETS.

1.1          Purchase and Sale.  On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase, from Seller, as of the Effective Time, all the right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Acquired Assets in consideration for payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below) and the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities. The purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Acquisition.”

1.2          Transfer of Assets.

(a)           Acquired Assets.  The term “Acquired Assets” means all Seller’s rights, title and interest in, to and under those certain assets set forth below and further described in Schedule 1.2(a), subject to any limitations, restrictions or conditions imposed under the Assigned Contracts, the Assumed Liabilities or this Agreement:

(i)            the Product Intellectual Property;

(ii)           the Governmental Authorizations;

(iii)          the Product Documentation and Product Records;




(iv)          the Marketing Material;

(v)           the rights of Seller and its Affiliates under the contracts and agreements listed on Schedule 1.2(a)(v) (the “Assigned Contracts”);

(vi)          the customer list for the Product and all historical customer lists prepared within the past five (5) years, which shall be delivered at the Closing as Schedule 1.2(a)(vi);

(vii)         the manufacturing equipment identified on Schedule 1.2(a)(vii);

(viii)        the Seller’s interest in the database software and the data identified on Schedule 1.2(a)(viii);

(ix)           the Inventory;

(x)            all goodwill relating to the Acquired Assets; and

(xi)           all rights in and to all warranties, guarantees and indemnities with respect to the Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities, and, except as provided in Section 1.2(b)(vi), all rights, claims or causes of action of Seller and/or any of its Affiliates relating to any Acquired Asset or any Assumed Liability, whether known or unknown, contingent or noncontingent.

(b)           Excluded Assets.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.2(a) and elsewhere in this Agreement, all assets of Seller other than the Acquired Assets (the “Excluded Assets”) are not part of the Acquisition.  By way of clarification and not limitation, the following assets (as further described on Schedule 1.2(b)) shall be Excluded Assets and shall remain the property of Seller after the Closing:

(i)            any real estate owned or leased by Seller or any of its Affiliates;

(ii)           all cash and cash equivalents of Seller or any of its Affiliates;

(iii)          the Names;

(iv)          all Accounts Receivable;

(v)           any refund or credit of Taxes attributable to any Excluded Tax Liability;

(vi)          all rights, claims, causes of action and credits of Seller or any of its Affiliates, relating to any Excluded Asset or any Excluded Liability, including any such items arising under insurance policies, and all rights in and to all warranties, guarantees and indemnities and similar rights in favor of Seller or any of its Affiliates relating to any Excluded Asset or any Excluded Liability;

(vii)         all rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement, the Related Instruments and the Ancillary Agreements; and

(viii)        all Retained Information.

2




(c)           Liens and Encumbrances.  Subject to any limitations or conditions imposed by the Assigned Contracts and as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Purchaser is acquiring the Acquired Assets free and clear of all liabilities, obligations and commitments of Seller or any of its Affiliates, other than the Assumed Liabilities, and free and clear of all Liens and Encumbrances, other than Permitted Liens.

1.3          Assumed and Excluded Liabilities.

(a)           Assumed Liabilities.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby assumes, and from and after the Effective Time Purchaser shall pay, perform, discharge and otherwise fully satisfy when due, any and all liabilities, obligations and commitments arising out of or related to the liabilities set forth below and further described in Schedule 1.3(a) (the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(i)            except to the extent set forth in Section 1.3(b)(i), all liabilities, obligations and commitments arising out of or relating to any product liability, breach of warranty or similar claim for injury to person or property, if asserted following the Effective Time, to the extent that such liabilities, obligations or commitments (A) result from the use or misuse of Product included in any lot released by or on behalf of Purchaser after the Effective Time (“Purchaser Lot”), (B) otherwise relate to Product included in any Purchaser Lot (including all Proceedings relating to any such liabilities) or (C) subject to the Transition Services Agreement, relate to, or derive from, the sale, handling or distribution of the Product (including Product from any lot released by or on behalf of Seller prior to the Effective Time (“Seller Lot”)) after the Effective Time by or on behalf of Purchaser;

(ii)           except to the extent specifically provided in Section 1.3(b)(ii), all liabilities arising out of or relating to the ownership of the Governmental Authorizations from and after the Effective Time, including the responsibility for all product complaints, recalls, lookbacks, market withdrawals and field corrections with respect to any Product included in any Purchaser Lot;

(iii)          subject to Section 5.5 below, all liabilities arising out of or relating to the return of any Product included in any lot from which Seller had not shipped any vials of Product prior to the Effective Time;

(iv)          subject to Section 5.5, all liabilities, obligations and commitments arising out of or relating to any rebates, chargebacks, or administrative fees related to any Product that are asserted or requested on or after [*****];

(v)           all liabilities for Taxes arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly, the Acquired Assets (including the Product), or the ownership, sale or lease of any of the Acquired Assets, other than the Excluded Tax Liabilities, and in each case only to the extent such Taxes relate to periods or transactions after the Effective Time;

3




(vi)          all liabilities arising on or after the Effective Time under or relating to, directly or indirectly, the Assigned Contracts, other than liabilities for breaches occurring prior to the Effective Time;

(vii)         all other liabilities, obligations and commitments of whatever kind and nature, primary or secondary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, known or unknown, whether or not accrued, arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly, the Acquired Assets (including the Product), or the ownership, sale or lease of any of the Acquired Assets, or the marketing, sale or distribution of the Product, or the conduct of the Product-Related Business, but in each case only to the extent arising after the Effective Time; and

(viii)        except to the extent specifically provided in Section 1.3(b), any and all other liabilities, obligations and commitments, of whatever kind and nature, primary or secondary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, known or unknown, whether or not accrued, arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly, the Acquired Assets (including the Product), to the extent arising after the Effective Time.

For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.3(a) is intended to, or shall be interpreted to, limit or otherwise reduce the Liabilities of Purchaser as they may occur and/or exist after the Effective Time by virtue of Purchaser’s ownership of the Acquired Assets or operation of the Product-Related Business, but rather, this Section 1.3(a) is solely intended to identify and provide for the assumption by Purchaser of those Liabilities of Seller that are specifically assumed by Purchaser hereunder and which, but for such assumption, would remain Liabilities of Seller.

(b)           Excluded Liabilities.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Related Instrument, Purchaser is not hereby assuming any Excluded Liability, each of which shall be retained and paid, performed and discharged when due by Seller. The term “Excluded Liability” shall mean those liabilities which are not Assumed Liabilities, including:

(i)            all liabilities arising out of or relating to any product liability, breach of warranty or similar claim for injury to person or property, to the extent such liabilities, obligations or commitments (A) result from the use or misuse of Product included in any Seller Lot, or (B) otherwise relate to Product included in any Seller Lot (including all Proceedings relating to any such liabilities), except in the case of both (A) and (B) to the extent such liabilities relate to or derive from the sale, handling or distribution of such Product after the Effective Time by or on behalf of Purchaser;

(ii)           all liabilities arising out of or relating to the ownership of the Governmental Authorizations prior to the Effective Time, including the responsibility for all product complaints, recalls, market withdrawals and field corrections with respect to any Product included in any Seller Lot;

4




(iii)          subject to Section 5.5 below, all liabilities arising out of or relating to the return of any Product included in any lot from which Seller had shipped at least one Product vial prior to the Effective Time, provided, that Purchaser maintains substantially the same Product return policies with respect to Product in any lots for which Seller retains return liability;

(iv)          subject to Section 5.5 below, all liabilities, obligations and commitments arising out of or relating to any rebates, chargebacks, or administrative fees related to any Product that are asserted or requested prior to [*****];

(v)           all liabilities arising out of or claims or complaints originating, occurring, arising or brought against Seller relating to or affecting the Product or the Product-Related Business with respect to any time prior to the Effective Time;

(vi)          any Tax payable with respect to any business, asset, property or operation of Seller or any member of any affiliated group of which Seller is a member (including any Taxes relating to or arising out of the operation of the Acquired Assets) relating to any Pre-Effective Time Tax Period, other than any Tax for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to Section 5.8, provided that notwithstanding Section 5.8, Purchaser shall not assume any liability for transfer Taxes to the extent such transfer Tax is measured by gain realized by Seller from the sale of the Acquired Assets (an “Excluded Tax Liability”) and, for this purpose, in the case of a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Effective Time (a “Straddle Period”), (i) any Tax that is based on income, revenue, sales, payments or wages shall be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period that is a Pre-Effective Time Tax Period and the remainder of the Straddle Period, as if based on a closing of the books as of the Effective Time, (ii) and any other Tax shall be allocated in proportion to the number of the days of the Straddle Period ending before and after the Effective Time;

(vii)         any liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates arising out of or relating to any Excluded Asset;

(viii)        any liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates for royalties accrued in connection with the manufacture and sale of Product prior to the Effective Time;

(ix)           any liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates for accounts payable incurred in connection with the manufacture and sale of Product prior to the Effective Time;

(x)            except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, any liability for acts of Seller after the Effective Time; and

(xi)           except to the extent specifically provided in Section 1.3(a) any and all other liabilities, obligations and commitments of whatever kind and nature, primary or secondary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, known or unknown, whether or not accrued, arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly, the Acquired Assets (including the Product) but only to the extent related to any period prior to the Effective Time.

5




(c)           No Offset.  Each of Purchaser’s and Seller’s obligations under this Section 1.3 will not be subject to offset or reduction by reason of any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Related Instrument or any right or alleged right to indemnification hereunder.

1.4          Closing.  The closing of the Acquisition provided for in this Agreement (the ”Closing”) will take place at the offices of Seller’s counsel, Hogan & Hartson L.L.P. at 555 Thirteenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. at a mutually agreeable time on the date three (3) business days after the date on which all of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below are satisfied or waived (or such other date as Seller and Purchaser mutually agree).  The time of consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Effective Time”) is deemed to be at 12:01 a.m. Maryland time on the date on which the Closing occurs (the “Closing Date”).

1.5          Purchase Deposit.

(a)           Payment of Deposit.  Upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a deposit of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Purchase Deposit”), to be held by Seller.  For purposes of calculating any accrued interest on the Purchase Deposit, the Parties agree to use an interest rate of [*****] per annum from and after the date of delivery.  The Purchase Deposit is a deposit against, and component of, the Purchase Price defined in Section 1.6 and shall be applied to the Purchase Price at the Closing.

(b)           Return of Deposit.  In the event that Purchaser terminates this Agreement as permitted pursuant to Section 9.1(c), the Purchase Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser.  The Purchase Deposit shall also be returned to Purchaser in the event the Agreement is terminated by mutual agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(a).  Interest on the Purchase Deposit shall be paid out to Purchaser when the Purchase Deposit is paid out.

(c)           Forfeit of Deposit.  The Purchase Deposit, plus accrued interest, shall be forfeited by Purchaser and be retained by Seller in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(b), other than pursuant to either condition precedent Section 6.3, Legal Proceedings, or Section 6.4, Consents, in which case the Purchase Deposit, plus accrued interest, shall be returned to Purchaser.

1.6          Purchase Price.  In addition to any other amounts due hereunder, in consideration of the sale, assignment, conveyance, license and delivery of the Acquired Assets hereunder, Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Liabilities and pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds directly to an account designated by Seller, when due, the following (subject to the adjustments set forth in this Section 1, the “Purchase Price”):

(a)           Up-Front Payment.  An up-front component consisting of:

(i)            the Purchase Deposit paid pursuant to Section 1.5; and

(ii)           Forty-Five Million Dollars ($45,000,000) (the “Cash Amount”) payable at Closing.

6




(b)           Equipment Payment.  The value of (i) the manufacturing equipment set forth on Schedule 1.2(a)(vii) and (ii) the plasma database software set forth on Schedule 1.2(a)(viii) (collectively, the “Equipment Payment”) payable at Closing.

(c)           Inventory Payment.  The Estimated Inventory Value calculated pursuant to Section 1.8 (the “Initial Inventory Payment,” and together with the Cash Amount and the Equipment Payment, the “Closing Payment”) payable at Closing and subject to adjustment for any Inventory Variance in accordance with Section 1.8.

(d)           Milestone Payments.  The following Milestone Payments:

(i)            [*****] (the “First Milestone Payment”) payable when Cumulative Net Sales reach [*****] (the “First Milestone”);

(ii)           [*****] (the “Second Milestone Payment”) payable when Cumulative Net Sales reach [*****] (the “Second Milestone”); and

(iii)          [*****] (the “Third Milestone Payment” and together with the First Milestone Payment and the Second Milestone Payment, the “Milestone Payments”) payable when Cumulative Net Sales reach [*****] (the “Third Milestone” and together with the First Milestone and the Second Milestone, the “Milestones”).

1.7          Milestone Payments.

(a)           Payment Procedures.

(i)            Within ten (10) days after the end of each calendar quarter in which Cumulative Net Sales have reached a Milestone, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written notice stating that a Milestone has been reached and that a Milestone Payment will be made by Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the end of such calendar quarter (the “Milestone Notice”). Such Milestone Notice need not include specific Cumulative Net Sales information.  Even if Purchaser or Seller determines, subsequent to delivery of a Milestone Notice, that a Milestone was not reached, delivery of such Milestone Notice by Purchaser based on its good faith belief that reaching a Milestone was imminent, and the payment by Purchaser of the Milestone Payment based thereon, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(ii)           On or before thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a report (the “Quarterly Sales Report”) setting forth (x) Product sales for such quarter and (y) Cumulative Net Sales as of the end of such quarter.  Purchaser shall pay each Milestone Payment to Seller within thirty (30) days of the end of the first such calendar quarter in which the Cumulative Net Sales exceed the applicable Milestone as set forth in the Quarterly Sales Report for such quarter or, even if Cumulative Net Sales have not exceeded such Milestone, within (30) days of the end of a calendar quarter for which a Milestone Notice was delivered by Purchaser.  Purchaser’s obligation to make the Milestone Payments shall not expire, regardless of the amount of time required for Cumulative Net Sales to exceed the applicable Milestones.

(b)           Combination Products.  If Purchaser markets, distributes or sells a formulation of the Product or if any derivative thereof is present in combination with another substance (a “Combination Product”), the Net Sales of the Product for the purposes of calculating the Cumulative Net Sales shall be based on the amount of Product (or any derivative thereof) in the Combination Product, as follows:

(i)            the amount of the Product (or any derivative thereof) in the Combination Product shall be compared to the amount of the Product (or any derivative thereof) present as monotherapy, in order to identify the percentage of the monotherapy dose of the Product present in the Combination Product (such percentage being referred to as the “Product Percentage”).

(ii)           the Product Percentage shall be multiplied by the sale price of the Combination Product and such product shall be deemed to be Net Sales of the Product for the purposes of calculating Cumulative Net Sales pursuant to this Section 1.7(b).

(c)           Diligence.  Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to commercialize the Product and generate maximum sales of Product for so long as any Milestone remains unachieved.  Each Party acknowledges that there is no assurance that the Milestones will be achieved.

(d)           Records; Audit.

(i)            Records Retention.  Purchaser, its Affiliates and sublicensees will maintain complete and accurate books, records and accounts in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of Cumulative Net Sales information reported to Seller (including the Monthly Sales Reports) (the “Sales Records”), which Sales Records will be retained by the applicable Party until all Milestone Payments have been paid in full.

(ii)           Audit.  Seller will have the right, no more frequently than once per year, to have an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally recognized standing, reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (the “Independent Audit Accounting Firm”), to have access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, to such of the Sales Records of Purchaser, its Affiliates and sublicensees as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of information needed to calculate Milestone Payments required hereunder.  The Independent Audit Accounting Firm will disclose to the Parties only whether the Cumulative Net Sales reported by the Purchaser are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies.  As between Seller and Purchaser, Seller will bear all costs of such audit, unless the audit reveals a discrepancy in Seller’s favor sufficient to trigger an unrealized Milestone Payment, in which case such audit shall not be counted for purposes of the once-per-year limitation of Seller’s audit rights.

8




(e)           Security for Milestone Payments.  If at any time prior to the full payment of the Milestone Payments, based on Cumulative Net Sales reflected in a Quarterly Sales Report, a Milestone Notice or the results of an audit under Section 1.7(d)(ii), the Purchaser fails to make any Milestone Payment when due, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of such failure to make a Milestone Payment, and Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) days from delivery of such written notice by Seller to pay to Seller the Milestone Payment then due.  If Purchaser fails to pay to Seller such Milestone Payment then due within such fifteen (15) day period, Purchaser shall within five (5) days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period (A) pay to Seller the Milestone Payment then due and (B) complete, execute and deliver an escrow agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, with such changes as reasonably required by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”) and such related documents as are reasonbly required by the Escrow Agent in connection therewith, and deposit into an escrow account, pursuant to such Escrow Agreement, immediately available funds in the amount of the aggregate total unpaid Milestone Payments not then due (the “Escrow Deposit”).  The Escrow Agreement shall provide that a Milestone Payment shall be made from the Escrow Deposit to Seller upon (1) the joint instruction of the Parties, (2) Seller’s delivery of a statement of audit under Section 1.7(d)(ii) verifying Cumulative Net Sales in excess of a Milestone accompanied by Seller’s certification that Purchaser has failed to pay the corresponding Milestone Payment or (3) Seller’s delivery of a signed statement of the Independent Audit Accounting Firm indicating that it has been unable to complete an audit under Section 1.7(d)(ii) due to Purchaser’s failure to reasonably cooperate with any such audit for any ten-business day period (or periods).  The balance of the Escrow Deposit may be reduced to the amount of the unpaid Milestone Payments as future Milestone Payments are made.  The Escrow Deposit shall serve as security for the obligations of Purchaser to make Milestone Payments when due, and shall remain outstanding unless and until all such Milestone Payments have been received by Seller.

(f)            Acceleration of Milestone Payments.

(i)            (A)          A Change of Control of Purchaser (including, without limitation, failure by Purchaser to provide Seller with written notice no less than one (1) business day prior to a Change of Control of Purchaser), (B) the failure of Purchaser to provide the Quarterly Sales Report within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Seller of such failure, (C) the failure of Purchaser to provide any Milestone Notice when due, (D) the failure of Purchaser to make a Milestone Payment required pursuant to clause (A) of the second sentence of Section 1.7(e) or the failure of Purchaser to deposit the Escrow Deposit in accordance with clause (B) of the second sentence of Section 1.7(e), or (E) the failure of Purchaser to comply with the diligence requirements set forth in Section 1.7(c), shall each be referred to as a “Milestone Acceleration Event.”

(ii)           Upon the occurrence of a Milestone Acceleration Event under Section 1.7(f)(i)(A), Section 1.7(f)(i)(B), Section 1.7(f)(i)(C) or Section 1.7(f)(i)(D), or a Milestone Acceleration Event that remains uncured for a period of fifteen (15) days with respect to Section 1.7(f)(i)(E), unless Seller otherwise notifies Purchaser in writing, all of the unpaid Milestone Payments shall immediately become due and payable, and in addition to any other remedies available at law or equity, Seller may pursue all available remedies pursuant to the Parent Guarantee, simultaneously with or in advance of pursuing remedies under this Agreement, provided that Seller may not pursue remedies under the Parent Guarantee for Milestone Payments paid to Seller pursuant to the Escrow Agreement from the Escrow Deposit.  For the avoidance of doubt, (A) in the event any Milestone Payment is paid to Seller from the Escrow Deposit by the Escrow Agent, Seller shall no longer be entitled to seek payment of such Milestone Payment from Purchaser or Guarantor and (B) Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts for ninety (90) days to fund any Milestone Payment which is due from the Escrow Deposit, prior to pursuing remedies under the Parent Guarantee.  Also, if Purchaser has fully funded the Escrow Deposit, any Milestone Payment that is paid to Seller by Purchaser or Guarantor directly, rather than by Escrow Agent from the Escrow Deposit, shall result in a prompt disbursement to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent from the Escrow Deposit in the amount of such Milestone Payment, and Seller agrees to execute any joint written instruction required to effect such disbursement.

1.8          Inventory Calculations.

(a)           Inventory.  At least three (3) business days prior to the projected Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser Schedule 1.8 which shall set forth an estimate of the amount of the value of the Inventory, determined in accordance with GAAP, as consistently applied by Seller (the “Estimated Inventory Value”) as of the Closing Date.  The final calculation of the value of the Inventory as of the Effective Time, determined in accordance with GAAP, as consistently applied by Seller (the “Inventory Value”) shall be determined, and a payment for the difference between the Inventory Value and the Estimated Inventory Value shall be made to Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, as follows:

(i)            No later than twenty-one (21) days following the Closing, Seller shall examine its records to determine the quantities of Inventory existing as of the Effective Time and deliver a statement of Inventory Value to Purchaser (the “Statement of Inventory Value”).

(ii)           Purchaser may dispute any amounts reflected on the Statement of Inventory Value on the basis that the Inventory Value was not accurate or correctly determined, and Purchaser shall have access to such Product Records, including Retained Information, as are reasonably necessary to support such determination; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have notified Seller in writing of each disputed item, specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within fifteen (15) days after Seller’s delivery of the Statement of Inventory Value to Purchaser.  In the event of such a dispute, Seller and Purchaser shall attempt to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties.  If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any such dispute within fifteen (15) days after Purchaser’s delivery of its notice of dispute to Seller, Seller and Purchaser shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm of national reputation (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which shall, within twenty (20) business days after such submission, determine and report to Seller and Purchaser its determination of the payment obligation for such remaining disputed items, and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties.  In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be entitled to the privileges and immunities of arbitrators.

10




(b)           Purchase Price Adjustment.  The Statement of Inventory Value shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Agreement upon the earlier of (x) the failure of Purchaser to notify Seller of a dispute within fifteen (15) business days after Seller’s delivery of the Statement of Inventory Value to Purchaser or (y) the resolution of all disputes pursuant to this Section 1.8.  If the difference between the Estimated Inventory Value and the final Statement of Inventory Value (the “Inventory Variance”) exceeds two percent (2%) of the Estimated Inventory Value, then within five (5) business days of the Statement of Inventory Value being deemed final, a payment shall be made as follows:

(i)            if the amount of the Inventory Value reflected on the final Statement of Inventory Value is less than the Estimated Inventory Value, then Seller shall pay an amount equal to the Inventory Variance to an account designated by Purchaser by wire transfer in immediately available funds;

(ii)           if the amount of the Inventory Value reflected on the final Statement of Inventory Value exceeds the Estimated Inventory Value, then Purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the Inventory Variance to an account designated by Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds; or

(iii)          if the Inventory Variance is less than two percent (2%) of the Estimated Inventory Value, no payment shall be made on account of the Inventory Variance.

(c)           Fees for Inventory Review.  The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated to Purchaser in the same proportion as (x) the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by Purchaser (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to (y) the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted, and the balance shall be paid by Seller.

1.9          Allocation of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price shall be allocated in detail among the various Acquired Assets in accordance with this Section 1.9.

(a)           Initial Allocation.  Subject to the adjustments described in this Section 1.9, the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets as follows:

(i)            the Purchase Price minus the Estimated Inventory Value plus any Assumed Liabilities that are required to be treated as part of the purchase price for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets (other than the Inventory) and the goodwill and going concern value of the Product-Related Business as set forth on Schedule 1.9 (the “Allocation Schedule”); and

(ii)           the Estimated Inventory Value shall be allocated among the Inventory as set forth on the Allocation Schedule.

(b)           Revised Allocation.  Within fifteen (15) days after the determination of the Inventory Value, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser an amended Allocation Schedule prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the “Revised Allocation”) that reflects (i) the Inventory Value, which shall be allocated among the Inventory, and (ii) any adjustments in the allocation of the initial Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities among the Acquired Assets reasonably necessary to reflect changes in the Acquired Assets between the Agreement Date and the Effective Time.

11




(c)           Milestone Allocations.  Within thirty (30) days after the payment of each Milestone Payment, Seller and Purchaser shall agree on an amended Allocation Schedule (a “Milestone Allocation”) that reflects the payment of the Milestone Payment as additional Purchase Price and allocates such additional Purchase Price among the Acquired Assets in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(d)           Tax Allocation.  In accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder, Purchaser and Seller agree, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, to be bound by the Revised Allocation and Milestone Allocation, to file all Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 8594 and any supplemental or amended IRS Form 8594) in accordance with the aforementioned allocations, and not to take any position inconsistent with the aforementioned allocations in the course of any audit, examination, other administrative or judicial proceeding; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 1.9(d) shall apply only with respect to, and to the extent of any Tax Returns filed by Seller or Purchaser with a U.S. federal, state or local Tax authority and shall not prevent either Seller or Purchaser from seeking relief from the competent authorities under any treaties providing for avoidance of double taxation.

1.10        Prorations.

(a)           Prorations.  Subject to Sections 1.2 and 1.3 above, all royalties, contract payments, and other prepaid and deferred items relating to the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the principle that (i) Seller shall be responsible for expenses relating to the manufacture and sale of the Products during the periods prior to the Effective Time and (ii) Purchaser shall be responsible for expenses relating to the manufacture and sale of units of Product during the periods after the Effective Time.

(b)           Timing of Payment.  Any prorations pursuant to this Section 1.10 will, insofar as feasible, be determined and paid on the Closing Date, and the Parties shall agree on a statement setting forth all such prorations as soon as practicable after the Closing.  Final settlement and payment by the appropriate Party of the net amount of prorations owing to the other Party shall occur no later than thirty (30) days after the actual amount becomes known.

1.11        Risk of Loss.  At the Effective Time, title to the Acquired Assets is hereby transferred to Purchaser and Purchaser shall hereafter bear all risk of loss associated with the Acquired Assets and be solely responsible for procuring adequate insurance to protect the Acquired Assets against any such loss.

(a)           All transfer Taxes (including, without limitation, sales, use, stamp and recordation taxes but not including income tax measured by gain, if any, realized by Seller from the sale of the Acquired Assets) shall be paid by Purchaser.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with any documentation requested by Purchaser to establish an exemption from any such transfer Tax under applicable Tax Law.  Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in preparing and timely filing all Tax Returns and other documentation relating to such transfer Taxes as may be required by applicable Tax Law.

(b)           Seller and Purchaser hereby waive compliance with any “bulk sales” Laws (including any requirement to withhold any amount from payment of the Purchase Price) applicable to the sale to Purchaser of the Acquired Assets by Seller.

5.9          Government Multi-Product Contracts.  After the Effective Time, Purchaser shall honor the pricing for the Product under Seller’s Government Multi-Product Contracts as reflected on Schedule 5.9, until such time as Purchaser has obtained its own NDC number with respect to the Product.  Seller may enter into a separate agreement with such government party, provided that such agreements do not contain any provisions relating to the Product or the Product-Related Business.  Seller shall terminate the rights and obligations of Seller with respect to the Product under each such Government Multi-Product Contract, to the extent permitted by the terms thereof and to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, applicable Law, as soon as reasonably practicable after Purchaser has obtained its own NDC number with respect to the Product.  Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to add the Product into its existing applicable agreements with Governmental Entities achieving similar purposes as the Government Multi-Product Contracts as soon as practicable after the Effective Time.

5.10        Inventory.  From and after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall at all times handle, warehouse, store, market, sell, distribute and otherwise dispose of the Inventory in accordance with customary industry practice and in strict compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including current good manufacturing practices and product labeling and specifications.  Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser represents that it has all applicable licenses, registrations and permits necessary to take control of the Inventory.

5.11        Further Assurances.  Each Party shall from time to time after the Effective Time, without additional consideration, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Related Instrument and each Ancillary Agreement. With respect to all documents, information and other materials included in the Acquired Assets, in addition to paper and other tangible copies, Seller shall, upon Purchaser’s request, also provide to Purchaser electronic copies of such documents, information and other materials, provided, that, Seller or its Affiliates or their respective agents have electronic copies thereof. The foregoing requirement shall only apply to such documents, information and other material exclusively related to the Acquired Assets, and Seller shall have no obligation to reformat or otherwise alter or modify any such materials in order to provide them to Purchaser.

5.12        Post-Effective Time Cooperation.

(a)           Except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other, and shall cause their officers, employees, agents, auditors, Affiliates and Representatives to cooperate with each other, for a period of sixty (60) days after the Closing to ensure the orderly transition of the Acquired Assets from Seller to Purchaser and to minimize any disruption to the marketing, distribution and sale of the Product and the other respective businesses of Seller and Purchaser that might result from the transactions contemplated hereby.  After the Effective Time, upon reasonable written notice, Purchaser and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other and their employees, counsel, auditors and Representatives access, during normal businesses hours, to such information and assistance relating to the marketing, distribution and sale of the Product (to the extent within the control of such Party) as is reasonably requested for financial reporting and accounting matters.

(b)           After the Effective Time, upon reasonable written notice, Purchaser and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (to the extent within the control of such Party) relating to the Acquired Assets (including access to books and records) as is reasonably requested for the filing of all Tax Returns, and making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding related to any Tax Return.  Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Acquired Assets. Purchaser shall retain the books and records of Seller and its Affiliates included in the Acquired Assets for a period of seven years after the Effective Time. After the end of such seven-year period, before disposing of such books or records, Purchaser shall give notice to such effect to Seller and shall give Seller, at Seller’s cost and expense, an opportunity to remove and retain all or any part of such books or records as Seller may select.

(c)           Each Party shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in assisting the other pursuant to this Section 5.12.  Neither Party shall be required by this Section 5.12 to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business or unreasonably disrupt its normal operations (or, in the case of Purchaser, the marketing, distribution and sale of the Product).

5.13        No Active Solicitation of Returns.  To the extent that the Product does not have any safety or efficacy issues, Purchaser agrees that it shall not actively solicit any customers to return Product.

5.14        Insurance.  From and after the Effective Time until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Time, Purchaser shall maintain product liability insurance with a coverage amount of no less than [*****] in excess of the deductible.

32




5.15        Non-Competition.  From and after the Closing Date until the earlier of [*****] (the “Restricted Period”), except as provided below, Seller shall not engage, directly or indirectly as a proprietor, equityholder, investor (except as an investor holding not more than [*****] of the outstanding capital stock or other securities of a publicly held company), lender, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant, or representative, or in any other capacity, in a business that owns or is developing, marketing or selling a [*****] intravenous product.  Except as provided below, during the Restricted Period, Seller shall not directly or indirectly solicit, divert, take away, or attempt to divert or take away, from the Purchaser or any of their Affiliates any of the business or patronage of any of their respective customers, clients, accounts, vendors, or suppliers with respect to the Product-Related Business, and the Seller shall not assist any other Person to do so, or be a proprietor, equityholder, investor (except as an investor holding not more than [*****] of the capital stock or other securities of a publicly held company), lender, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant, or representative of any Person who does or attempts to do so.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller and its Affiliates shall be permitted, in any of the capacities described above, to make venture (through its wholly owned venture capital subsidiary), merger, acquisition or alliance investments where such investment does not involve the acquisition of, or any investment in, any entity which derives more than [*****] of its revenue from [*****] intravenous product or related rights.  Seller hereby acknowledges that any breach by it of its obligations under this Section 5.15 would cause substantial and irreparable damage to the Purchaser and its Affiliates; and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor, and accordingly, Seller acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, and/or other equitable relief to prevent the breach of such obligations (in addition to all other rights and remedies to which such party may be entitled in respect of any such breach).  In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the provisions of this Section 5.15 would be unenforceable as written because they cover too extensive a geographic area, too broad a range of activities, or too long a period of time, or otherwise, then such provisions shall automatically be modified to cover the maximum geographic area, range of activities, and period of time as may be enforceable, and in addition, such court or arbitrators are hereby expressly authorized so to modify this Agreement and to enforce it as so modified.  No invalidity or enforceability of any section of this Agreement or any portion thereof shall affect the validity or enforceability of any other section or of the remainder of such section.

6.                                      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF SELLER.

The obligations of Seller under this Agreement are subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions, and failure to satisfy any such condition shall excuse and discharge all obligations of Seller to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, unless such failure is waived or agreed to in writing by Seller:

7.                                      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASER.

The obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement are subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions, and failure to satisfy any such condition shall excuse and discharge all obligations of Purchaser to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, unless such failure is agreed to in writing by Purchaser:

7.1          Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement shall be true and complete when made and, in all material respects (provided, however, that the foregoing materiality qualifier shall be ignored with respect to any representation or warranty already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) as of the Effective Time as though such representations and warranties were made on and as of such time, except for any changes expressly permitted by this Agreement.

8.                                      SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION.

8.1          Survival of Representations.  The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, in any Ancillary Agreement and Related Instrument and in any other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith, unless otherwise specified in such document(s), shall survive the Effective Time solely for purposes of this Section 8 and shall terminate at the close of business on the [*****] anniversary of the Closing, except for Seller’s representations and warranties in Sections 2.4 and 2.5(a), which shall survive indefinitely.  The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that require by their terms performance or compliance on and after the Effective Time shall continue in force thereafter in accordance with their terms or if no term is specified, indefinitely.

8.2          Indemnification by Seller.

(a)           Subject to Section 8.8, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and Representatives (“Purchaser Indemnitees”) against, and hold them harmless from, any actual and direct loss (including a diminution in value of the Acquired Assets), liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) (“Losses”), as incurred (payable promptly upon written request), to the extent arising from:

(i)            any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller that survives the Effective Time and is contained in this Agreement  or in any Related Instrument or Ancillary Agreement; provided that Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Person, and shall not have any liability under this Section 8.2(a)(i) to the extent the liability or obligation is directly caused by any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Purchaser Indemnitee;

(ii)           any breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Related Instrument;

(iii)          any Excluded Liability; and

(iv)          any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by Seller to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by any Related Instrument or Ancillary Agreement.

36




(b)           Seller shall have no indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 (a)(i), except to the extent that the aggregate amount of Losses incurred or suffered by Purchaser that Seller is otherwise responsible for under Section 8.2(a)(i) exceeds [*****] (the “Deductible”), at which time Purchaser shall be entitled to assert claims against Seller for Losses in excess of, but excluding, the Deductible; provided, that the maximum liability of Seller for all claims by Purchaser under Section 8.2(a)(i) shall not in any case exceed [*****].  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) there shall be no Deductible and the maximum liability shall be the Purchase Price with respect to any indemnifiable Losses arising out of Seller’s breach of its representations or warranties in Sections 2.2, 2.4 or 2.5(a); (ii) the maximum liability for indemnifiable product liability Losses shall be [*****], and (iii) Seller shall indemnify Purchaser for all Losses based on fraud or intentional misconduct on the part of Seller.  When calculating the amount of Losses arising out of or relating to any breach of a representation or warranty by Seller for purposes of determining whether the Deductible provided in this section has been satisfied, references to “Material Adverse Effect” or other materiality qualifications (or correlative terms) will be disregarded.

(c)           Purchaser shall have no right to offset any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.2 against any Milestone Payment or other amount that Purchaser is obligated to pay Seller pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any Related Instrument, or any other agreement or undertaking.

8.3          Indemnification by Purchaser.  Subject to Section 8.8, Purchaser shall indemnify Seller, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and Representatives (“Seller Indemnitees”) against, and agrees to hold them harmless from, any Loss, as incurred (payable promptly upon written request), to the extent arising from or in connection with or otherwise with respect to:

(a)           any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser that survives the Effective Time and is contained in this Agreement or in any Related Instrument or Ancillary Agreement; provided that Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any Person, and shall not have any liability under this Section 8.3(a) to the extent the liability or obligation is directly caused by any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Seller Indemnitee;

(b)           any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Related Instrument;

(c)           any Assumed Liability; and

(d)           any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by Purchaser to any brokers, financial advisors or other comparable Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by any Related Instrument.

(e)           Purchaser shall have no indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8.3(a), except to the extent that the aggregate amount of Losses incurred or suffered by Seller that Purchaser is otherwise responsible for under Section 8.3(a) exceeds [*****] (the “Deductible”), at which time Seller shall be entitled to assert claims against Purchaser for Losses in excess of, but excluding, the Deductible; provided, that the maximum liability of Purchaser for all claims by Seller under Section 8.3(a) together shall not in any case exceed [*****].  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) there shall be no Deductible with respect to any indemnifiable Losses arising out of Purchaser’s breach of its representations or warranties in Section 3.2; and (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify Seller for all Losses based on fraud,  or intentional misconduct on the part of Purchaser.  When calculating the amount of Losses arising out of or relating to any breach of a representation or warranty by Purchaser for purposes of determining whether the Deductible provided in this section has been satisfied, references to “Material Adverse Effect” or other materiality qualifications (or correlative terms) will be disregarded.

37




8.4          Calculation of Losses.  The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) or clause (a) of Section 8.3 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party (as defined below) under insurance policies with respect to such Loss and shall be (a) increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (b) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit immediately realized by the Indemnified Party in cash arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment under clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) or clause (a) of Section 8.3 or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss. Any indemnity payment under clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) or clause (a) of Section 8.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to such price for federal income Tax purposes.

8.5          Termination of Indemnification.  The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any Party, (a) pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.3(a), shall terminate on the [*****] anniversary of the Effective Time (except to the extent that pursuant to Section 8.1 any representation or warranty survives past such anniversary) and (b) pursuant to the other clauses of Section 8.2 and Section 8.3, shall not terminate; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) pursuant to Section 8.6 to the Party to be providing the indemnification.

8.6          Procedures.

(a)           In order for a party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim within fifteen (15) business days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five (5) business days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

38




(b)           If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted the corresponding obligation to defend and indemnify the Indemnified Party, and in such case, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party through counsel not employed by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the indemnified parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. So long as the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, which releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and that would not otherwise materially adversely affect the Indemnified Party.

(c)           In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party and in any event prior to the expiration of the underlying representations and warranties, if applicable. The failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction.

39




8.7          Sole Remedy; No Additional Representations.

(a)           Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 8.6(c) or in any Related Instrument or Ancillary Agreement, each of Purchaser and Seller acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy after the Effective Time with respect to any and all claims and causes of action relating to this Agreement (including the Schedules), the Related Instruments, the Ancillary Agreements, the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud or relating to breaches of covenants requiring performance after the Agreement Date) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 8 or as provided in Section 10.9. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Purchaser and Seller hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action relating to this Agreement (including the Schedules), the Related Instruments, the Ancillary Agreements, the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud or intentional misconduct on the part of a Party or relating to breaches of covenants requiring performance after the Agreement Date) it may have against the other Party hereto arising under or based upon any applicable law or arising under or based upon common law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, as applicable).

(b)           Purchaser acknowledges that it and its Representatives have been permitted full and complete access to the books and records, facilities, equipment, Tax Returns, contracts, insurance policies (or summaries thereof) and other properties and assets of the Seller relating to the Product and the Product-Related Business, that it and its Representatives have desired or requested to see or review, and that it and its Representatives have had a opportunity to meet with the officers and employees of Seller to discuss the Acquired Assets.

(c)           Purchaser acknowledges that none of Seller, its Affiliates or any other Person (i) has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Acquired Assets furnished or made available to Purchaser and its Representatives, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including the Schedules), the Related Instruments, or the Ancillary Agreements, and (ii) shall have or be subject to any liability to Purchaser or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Purchaser, or Purchaser’s use of, any such information, documents or material made available to Purchaser in any “data rooms”, management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated hereby except to the extent such information, documents or materials is included in the representations or warranties of the Seller set forth in this Agreement (including the Schedules), the Related Instruments or the Ancillary Agreements.

(d)           Purchaser also acknowledges that except as expressly set forth in the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement (including the Schedules), the Related Instruments and the Ancillary Agreements, there are no representations or warranties by Seller of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Acquired Assets, and that Purchaser is purchasing the Acquired Assets “as is”, “where is” and “with all faults.”  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly set forth in the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement (including the Schedules), the Related Instruments or the Ancillary Agreements, THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

40




8.8          Limitations on Liability.

(a)           Notwithstanding any provision herein, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall in any event be liable to the other Party or its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents or Representatives on account of any indemnity obligation set forth in Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.3(a) or on account of any other obligation imposed by this Agreement, for any indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, but not limited to, lost profits, loss of use, damage to goodwill or loss of business), provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit a Party’s ability to recover for diminution in value of the Acquired Assets or to introduce evidence of such diminution in value based on admissible valuation methods (including discounted cash flow calculations based on lost profits, loss of use, damage to goodwill or loss of business, if such evidence would be otherwise admissible to establish diminution in value of the Acquired Assets), and provided further that the Party seeking such recovery uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses, including any alleged diminution in value, as set forth in Section 8.8(b).

(b)           Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one Party is obligated to indemnify the other under this Agreement, including without limitation, by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses or resolve any such claim or liability.

9.                                      TERMINATION.

9.1          Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Closing under any one or more of the following circumstances:

(a)           Purchaser and Seller may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

(b)           Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Purchaser at any time prior to the Closing if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2006 by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section 6 hereof for any reason other than the failure to meet the conditions set forth in Section 6.4 because the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act has not yet occurred, in which case Seller may terminate by giving written notice to Purchaser at any time prior to the Closing if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before February 15, 2007, unless in either case the failure of any condition precedent under Section 6 results primarily from Seller’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement; or

(c)           Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller at any time prior to the Closing if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2007 by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section 7 hereof for any reason other than the failure to meet the conditions set forth in Section 7.4 because the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act has not yet occurred, in which case Purchaser may terminate by giving written notice to Seller at any time prior to the Closing if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before February 15, 2007, unless in either case the failure of any condition precedent under Section 7 results primarily from Purchaser’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement.
