ARTICLE 8 OBLIGATIONS AFTER CLOSING
 
8.1. Competition. In consideration for the payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price, to be made on the Closing, Seller will not, at any time within the three (3) year period immediately following the Closing, directly or indirectly engage in, or have any interest in any Person (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, security holder, creditor, consultant, or otherwise) that engages in, any activity worldwide that is the same as, similar to, or competitive with Immunomodulators. Seller acknowledges that Buyer and its affiliates, successors or assignees, may market and sell the Immunomodulator Assets and products incorporating the Immunomodulator Assets worldwide and accordingly that is a reasonable territory for this restriction on competition.
 
11

 
8.2. Information to be Held in Confidence. From and after the Closing, Seller and its respective officers, directors, and other representatives will each hold in strict confidence all information of a confidential nature and not generally known to the public with respect to the Immunomodulator Assets, except when disclosure of such information is required by law or legal process. If Seller believes that such disclosure is required, it will give Buyer advance notice of the disclosure and the basis for it, and permit Buyer a reasonable opportunity to eliminate the need for or to narrow such disclosure. In addition, Seller will not use to the detriment of Buyer or for the benefit of any other Person, or misuse in any way, any confidential information or trade secrets related to or included in the Immunomodulator Assets.
 
8.3. Further Assurances. Seller, at any time on or after the Closing, will execute, acknowledge, and deliver any further deeds, assignments, conveyances, and other assurances, documents, and instruments of transfer, reasonably requested by Buyer, and will take any other action consistent with the terms of this Agreement that may reasonably be requested by Buyer for the purpose of assigning, transferring, granting, conveying, and confirming to Buyer, or reducing to possession, any or all property (tangible and intangible) to be conveyed and transferred under this Agreement. If requested by Buyer, Seller will prosecute or otherwise enforce in its own name for the benefit and under the direction of Buyer, any claims, rights, or benefits that are transferred to Buyer under this Agreement and that require prosecution or enforcement in Seller’s name.
 
ARTICLE 9 NATURE AND SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS
AND OBLIGATIONS
 
9.1. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the parties and any related causes of action will survive the Closing until 5:00 p.m. New York time on the third anniversary following the Closing, except (i) those representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 3.7 (Tax Matters), which representations and warranties and any related causes of action shall survive the Closing until 5:00 p.m. New York time on the fifth anniversary following the Closing and (ii) those representation and warranties made by Seller in Sections 3.3 (Intellectual Property) and 3.5 (Title to Assets; Sufficiency of Assets), which representations and warranties and any related causes of action shall survive the Closing forever. All covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and any Ancillary Document that are to be performed following the Closing Date shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until such covenants and agreements are performed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Ancillary Document.
 
9.2. Indemnification by Seller. Seller will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its affiliates, successors and assigns, and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents or other Affiliates (“Buyer Indemnitees”) for any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense, cost (including, without limitation, costs of investigation and defense and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other experts) or diminution of value, whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, “Damages”), arising from or in connection with: 
 
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement (including the Schedules to this Agreement);
 
(b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller in this Agreement (including the Schedules to this Agreement); and
 
(c) the Excluded Liabilities.
 
12

 
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing rights to indemnity and in addition to any remedies Buyer may have under this Agreement against Seller, if Buyer is entitled to any indemnification or other payment from Seller under this Agreement, Buyer may assign such right to any successor or assign.
 
9.3. Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents or other Affiliates (“Seller Indemnitees”) for any Damages arising from or in connection with:
 
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement; and
 
(b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement.
 
9.4. Notice of Claim. 
 
(a) If any Person other than a Seller Indemnitee or a Buyer Indemnitee commences litigation or asserts a demand (a “Third-Party Claim”) against a Party (“Claiming Party”) to the Agreement, in respect of which the Claiming Party proposes to demand indemnification hereunder, the Claiming Party shall provide written notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) within fifteen (15) days of the Claiming Party becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim.
 
(b) If the Claiming Party should have a claim against the Indemnitor that is not a Third-Party Claim, the Claiming Party shall deliver a written notice thereof as promptly as practicable to the Indemnitor specifying the nature and specific basis for the claim and, to the extent then determinable, the amount or the estimated amount of the claim.
 
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section, the failure by the Claiming Party to timely notify the Indemnitor of a Third-Party Claim does not relieve the Indemnitor of any indemnification responsibility under this Article 9 unless and only to the extent that such failure adversely prejudices the ability of the Indemnitor to defend such claim.
 
9.5. Procedure.
 
(a) Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitor of written notice pursuant to Section 9.4 of the assertion or the commencement of any Third-Party Claim with respect to any matter referred to in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 hereof, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, by giving written notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnitee within twenty (20) days after receipt of the notice described in Section 9.4(a), with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee at the Indemnitor’s expense.
 
(b) If the Indemnitor shall assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, it shall not settle such Third-Party Claim unless such settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of a release of the Indemnitee, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and (ii) does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief on the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the assumption by the Indemnitor of the defense of any Third-Party Claim as provided in this subsection, the Indemnitee shall be permitted to join in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and to employ counsel at its own expense. If requested by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the sole expense of the Indemnitor, with the Indemnitor and its counsel in contesting the Third-Party Claim or, if appropriate, in asserting any counterclaims or cross-claims.
 
13

 
(c) If the Indemnitor shall fail to notify the Indemnitee of its desire to assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim within the prescribed period of time, or shall notify the Indemnitee that it will not assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim at the Indemnitor’s expense, in which event it may do so in such manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate. The Indemnitee shall not settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitor shall be permitted to join in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and to employ counsel at its own expense.

10.1. Costs and Taxes. Each Party will pay all costs and expenses, including its attorney fees and expenses, incurred or to be incurred by it in negotiating and preparing this Agreement and in Closing and carrying out the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
