(iii)Right of Set-off.  Purchaser may deduct and set off against any Royalty or Milestone Payment owed to the Seller under this Section 2.7(c) any Losses subject to indemnification under Section 9.1 (Indemnification by Seller).  Neither Party or its Affiliates shall otherwise be entitled to deduct from, set off, holdback or otherwise reduce in any manner whatsoever any amounts owed to the other Party or any of its Affiliates.

(d)Financial Records.  Purchaser shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates and (sub)licensees to, keep or cause to be kept complete and accurate books and records pertaining to Net Revenue and the applicable royalty calculations in sufficient detail to calculate all amounts payable hereunder (“Financial Records”).  Such books and records shall be retained until the later of (i) three years after the end of the period to which such books and records pertain and (ii) the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof) or for such longer period as may be required by applicable Law.

(h)Post-Closing Value Adjustment.

(i)Estimated Closing Statement.  At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser a statement (“Estimated Closing Statement”) calculating in reasonable detail (A) Seller’s good faith estimate of the amount and value of the Purchased Inventory as of the Calculation Time calculated in accordance with US GAAP (the “Estimated Inventory Value”) and (B) Seller’s good faith estimate of the amount and value of the Purchased Prepaid Items as of the Calculation Time calculated in accordance with US GAAP (the “Estimated Prepaid Items Value”), in each case, together with reasonable supporting documentation relating thereto.  Purchaser shall have the opportunity to review and comment on the Estimated Closing Statement and the Seller shall consider Purchaser’s comments in good faith; provided, that Purchaser’s review of and comments on the Estimated Closing Statement shall not operate to delay the Closing.

(ii)Closing Date Statement.  Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a statement (the “Closing Date Statement”) calculating in reasonable detail (A) the actual amount and value of the Purchased Inventory as of the Calculation Time calculated in accordance with US GAAP (the “Closing Inventory Value”) and (B) the actual amount and value of the Purchased Prepaid Items as of the Closing Date calculated in accordance with US GAAP (the “Closing Prepaid Items Value”), in each case, together with reasonable supporting documentation relating thereto.

(i)Objections; Resolutions of Disputes.

(i)Unless Seller notifies Purchaser in writing within 30 days after Purchaser’s delivery of the Closing Date Statement (such 30-day period, the “Objection Period”) of any good faith objection to the computation of the Closing Inventory Value or Closing Prepaid Items Value, respectively, set forth therein (a “Notice of Objection”), the Closing Date Statement shall be final and binding.  Following the delivery of the Closing Date Statement and solely for purposes of Seller’s review of the Closing Date Statement and preparation of any Notice of Objection, Purchaser shall permit Seller and its representatives to review the work papers of Purchaser relating to the Closing Date Statement.  Any Notice of Objection shall specify in reasonable detail each item that Seller disputes, the amount in dispute for each such dispute and a description in reasonable detail of the basis for the objections set forth therein.  Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the sole purpose of the determination of the Closing Inventory Value and the Closing Prepaid Items Value is to adjust the Upfront Payment so as to reflect the difference between (A) the Closing Inventory Value and the Estimated Inventory Value and (B) the Closing Prepaid Items Value and the Estimated Prepaid Items Value, and that in order to do so the Closing Inventory Value and the Estimated Inventory Value as well as the

​

15

​

Closing Prepaid Items Value and the Estimated Prepaid Items Value need to be calculated in accordance with US GAAP as of the Calculation Time.

(ii)If Seller provides a Notice of Objection to Purchaser within the Objection Period, Seller and Purchaser shall, during the 30-day period following Purchaser’s receipt of the Notice of Objection (such 30-day period, the “Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve Seller’s objections.  During the Resolution Period, Purchaser and its representatives shall, in accordance with Section 2.7(l), be permitted to review the work papers of Seller and its accountants relating to the Notice of Objection and the basis therefor.  If Seller and Purchaser reach an agreement with respect to any of Seller’s objections, such agreement shall be reduced to writing and shall be final and binding on the Parties.  If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve all such objections within the Resolution Period, the matters remaining in dispute shall be submitted to an independent certified public accountant of nationally recognized standing, mutually agreed by the Seller and Purchaser (the “Accountant”).  The Accountant shall be engaged pursuant to an engagement letter among Seller, Purchaser and the Accountant on terms and conditions consistent with this Section 2.7(i).  The Accountant shall be instructed, pursuant to such engagement letter, to resolve only those matters set forth in the Notice of Objection remaining in dispute and not to otherwise investigate any matter independently.  Seller and Purchaser each agree to furnish to the Accountant access to such individuals and such information, books and records as may be reasonably required by the Accountant to make its final determination (any such information, books and records shall be provided to the other Party prior to its submission or presentation to the Accountant).  Seller and Purchaser shall also instruct the Accountant to render its reasoned written decision as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 30 days from the date that the unresolved objections are submitted to the Accountant for review.  With respect to each disputed line item, such decision, if not in accordance with the position of either Seller or Purchaser, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Purchaser in the Closing Date Statement, or Seller in the Notice of Objection with respect to such disputed line item.  Except as Seller and Purchaser may otherwise agree, all communications between Seller and Purchaser or any of their respective representatives, on the one hand, and the Accountant, on the other hand, shall be in writing with copies simultaneously delivered to the non-communicating Party.  The resolution of disputed items by the Accountant shall be final and binding on the Parties (absent Fraud or manifest error) and the determination of the Accountant shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable (absent Fraud or manifest error) and upon which a Judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover.  Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Accountant.  All fees and expenses of the Accountant in respect of services pursuant to this Section 2.7(i) shall initially be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser; provided, that such fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be allocated between the Parties based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party in the Closing Date Statement or the Notice of Objection, as applicable, and will be determined by the Accountant in a manner consistent with such principles concurrently with and as part of its resolution.  For example, if Purchaser claims an amount of $1,000, and if the Seller contests only $500 of the amount claimed by Purchaser, and if the Accountant ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Purchaser $300 of the $500 contested, then the fees and expenses of the Accountant will be allocated sixty percent (60%) (i.e., 300/500) to the Seller and forty percent (40%) (i.e., 200/500) to the Purchaser.

(j)Inventory Adjustment Payment.  Promptly (but in any event within 10 Business Days) after the date on which the Closing Date Statement (and the Closing Inventory Value contained therein) becomes final and binding on Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.7(i), if (A) the Closing Inventory Value exceeds the Estimated Inventory Value, the Upfront Payment shall be adjusted upward by the amount of such excess, and Purchaser shall pay the amount of such excess to Seller and (B) if the Closing Inventory Value is less than the Estimated Inventory Value, the Upfront Payment shall be adjusted downward by the amount of such difference and Seller shall pay the amount of such difference to Purchaser.

(k)Prepaid Items Adjustment Payment.  Promptly (but in any event within 10 Business Days) after the date on which the Closing Date Statement (and the Closing Prepaid Items Value contained therein) becomes final and binding on Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.7(i), (i) if the Closing Prepaid Items Value is less than the Estimated Prepaid Items Value, the Upfront Payment shall be adjusted downward by the amount of such difference, and Seller shall pay the amount of such difference to Purchaser, and (ii) if the Closing Prepaid Items Value is more than the Estimated Prepaid Items Value, the Upfront Payment shall be adjusted upward by the amount of such excess, and Purchaser shall pay the amount of such excess to Seller.

(l)Access to Seller’s Books and Records.  Following the Closing and until the date the Closing Date Statement becomes final and binding pursuant to Section 2.7(i), Seller shall (i) provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser and its representatives access upon reasonable notice during normal business hours to the properties, books, Contracts, personnel and records of Seller, and Seller’s and its accountants’ work papers relevant to the preparation of the Closing Date Statement and the adjustments contemplated by this Section 2.7, (ii) provide Purchaser, upon Purchaser’s request, with copies of any such books, Contracts, records and work papers and (iii) cause its personnel to cooperate with Purchaser and respond to Purchaser’s requests for information promptly with respect thereto.  The accountants of Seller shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to any Person under this Section 2.7 unless and until such Person has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

Section 335a or any similar state or foreign Law and (b) exclusion under 42 U.S.C.  Section 1320a–7 or any similar state or foreign Law. Financial Ability.

(a)Purchaser or its Affiliates, as applicable, has received and accepted a fully executed debt Commitment Letter, dated on or before the date hereof (together with all exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto, and as amended, supplemented or replaced in compliance with this Agreement, the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with the lenders named therein (collectively, the “Lenders”) pursuant to which such Lenders have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to provide the amounts of debt financing set forth therein, and for the purposes described therein.  The term debt financing committed pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter is referred to in this Agreement as the “Debt Financing.”

(b)Purchaser has delivered to Seller a true, complete and correct copy of the executed Debt Commitment Letter save for redactions to delete any confidential compensation information, certain market flex provisions, fee amounts, pricing caps and securities demands (none of which would adversely affect the amount, conditionality, enforceability, termination or availability of the Debt Financing in any material respect).  The Debt Commitment Letter constitutes the entire and complete agreement of the parties thereto with respect to the Debt Financing and as of the date of this Agreement there are no side letters or other letters, contracts or arrangements except for customary fee letters, engagement letters or other letters, contracts or arrangements which do not adversely affect the amount, conditionality, enforceability, termination, or availability of the Debt Financing in any material respect.  Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Seller copies of any amendment, supplement, modification or alternative Debt Commitment Letter.

​

​

(c)Except as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of the Lenders to provide the Debt Financing, or any terms or contingencies that would, or could reasonably be expected to, permit the Lenders to reduce the total amount of the Debt Financing.  Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, as of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser does not have any reason to believe that it (or its relevant Affiliate(s)) will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis all terms and conditions to be satisfied by it (or its relevant Affiliate(s)) in the Debt Commitment Letter on or prior to the Closing Date, nor does Purchaser have any reason to believe that any of the Lenders will not perform their obligations thereunder.

(d)The Debt Financing, when funded in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letter, shall directly or indirectly provide Purchaser with cash proceeds sufficient, together with the resources of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, for the Purchaser to pay the Purchase Price.  Purchaser has not incurred, and is not contemplating or aware of, any obligation, commitment, restriction or other Liability of any kind, in each case that would impair or adversely affect such resources, funds or capabilities.

(e)As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter is (i) legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliate(s)) and, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, of each of the other parties thereto in accordance with their respective terms (subject to the Enforceability Exceptions) and (ii) in full force and effect.  As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time, or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach or a failure to satisfy a condition precedent on the part of Purchaser or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, the Lenders under the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter.  Purchaser (or its relevant Affiliate) has irrevocably paid in full (or caused to be paid) any and all commitment fees or other fees and expenses required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter on or before the date of this Agreement and will continue to timely pay in full (or caused to be paid) any such amounts arising under the Debt Commitment Letter as and when they become due and payable.  As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter has not been modified, amended, withdrawn or restated and none of the commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter have been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect.

(f)In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Debt Financing) by Purchaser or any Affiliate or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

communication with such Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of the investigation), litigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other the opportunity to attend and participate in such communication.  Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods, including under the HSR Act.  Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, will promptly provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their representatives or Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that such materials may be redacted (i) to remove references or materials concerning the valuation of the Business or other material reasonably determined by a Party to be commercially sensitive, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns, to the extent that such attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns are not governed by a common interest privilege or doctrine.

(c)Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall not enter into any transaction, or any Contract or other written agreement, to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that might reasonably be expected to and has the effect of making it more difficult to: (i) obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and approval under the Foreign Merger Control Laws; (ii) avoid the entry of, the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order that would prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary or advisable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this Section 6.4(c) shall limit any members of the CVC Network from entering into any such transactions, Contracts or other written agreements.

(b)The Parties agree that, from and after the Closing, to the extent permitted by Law, their respective rights and obligations to maintain, preserve, assert or waive any or all attorney-client and work product privileges belonging to any Party with respect to the Business and the Purchased Assets, the Excluded Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Retained Liabilities (collectively, “Privileges”) shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 6.10.  From and after the Closing, with respect to (i) matters relating to the Excluded Assets or the Retained Liabilities, (ii) all information relating to the Acquisition (other than with respect to information solely possessed by Purchaser), and (iii) matters relating to the Business prior to the Closing, the Seller and its Affiliates shall have sole authority in perpetuity to determine whether to assert or waive any or all Privileges, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall take no action without the prior written consent of the Seller that would be reasonably likely to result in any waiver of any such Privilege that could be asserted by the Seller or any of its Affiliates.  From and after the Closing, with respect to (1) matters relating to the Business on or after the Closing, (2) Purchased Assets or (3) the Assumed Liabilities  (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding all information relating to the sale of the Business (other than with respect to information solely possessed by Purchaser)), Purchaser shall have sole authority in perpetuity to determine whether to assert or waive any or all Privileges, and the Seller and the Selling Affiliates shall take no action without the prior written consent of Purchaser that would be reasonably likely to result in any waiver of any such Privilege.  All information as to which Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, would be entitled to assert or has asserted a Privilege pursuant to this Section 6.10 is referred to as “Privileged Information”.

(c)From and after the Closing, upon (i) receipt by the Seller or any of the Selling Affiliates, on the one hand, or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, of any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other or (ii) the Seller or the Selling Affiliates, on the one hand, or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, obtaining knowledge that any current or former employee of the other has received any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other Party, the Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly notify in writing the other Party of the existence of the applicable request and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to review such request and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 6.10 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Information, except that if any such request relates to Privileged Information relating to the Acquisition (other than with respect to information solely possessed by Purchaser), the Seller and the Selling Affiliates shall have no obligation under this Section 6.10(c) to notify Purchaser or provide Purchaser any opportunity to review such request.

Section 6.11Employee Matters.

(a)Acquired Employees.  From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, on a periodic basis as reasonably requested by Purchaser, an updated Business Employee List, including the information described in Section 3.10(f) with respect to each Business Employee.  No later than 10 days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser (or an Affiliate of Purchaser) shall, in writing, offer employment to all Business Employees.  The offered employment must (i) not require the Business Employee to work from a

​

44

​

principal place of employment that is more than 35 miles from the Business Employee’s assigned office location immediately prior to Closing and (ii) be at a base salary or wage at least equal to the Business Employee’s base salary or wage on the Closing Date (the “Required Terms”).  Any Business Employee who is offered employment by Purchaser (or Purchaser’s Affiliate) and who accepts such offer of employment shall commence employment with Purchaser (or Purchaser’s Affiliate) as of and contingent upon the Closing (such employee who commences employment with Purchaser, an “Acquired Employee”).  All Acquired Employees shall be employed solely on an “at will” basis, except as required by applicable Law.  As of and contingent upon the Closing, the Seller (or Seller’s applicable Affiliate) shall terminate the employment (or enter into a mutual termination agreement) of (or with) each Acquired Employee.  Any Business Employee who is not actively at work on the Closing Date due to an approved leave of absence or to a short-term disability (an “Inactive Employee”) shall be offered employment with Purchaser (or Purchaser’s Affiliate) on the Required Terms when and if such Business Employee presents himself or herself to Purchaser (or Purchaser’s Affiliate) for active employment during the six-month period beginning on the Closing Date (or such longer period that may be required under applicable Law).  Any such Inactive Employee who accepts employment with Purchaser (or Purchaser’s Affiliate) shall be treated as an Acquired Employee under this Section 6.11 beginning on the individual’s date of hire with Purchaser (or Purchaser’s Affiliate).  Any Inactive Employee who does not present himself or herself for active employment with Purchaser (or Purchaser’s Affiliate) within the six-month period beginning on the Closing Date (or such longer period that may be required under applicable law) shall not be offered continued employment with Purchaser (or Purchaser’s Affiliate) and, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall not assume any liabilities in respect of such Inactive Employee.

(b)Compensation and Benefits.  For the [^***]-year period immediately following the Closing Date (or if earlier, until the date Separate Payment is no longer in effect), Purchaser (or Purchaser’s Affiliate) shall provide the Acquired Employees with (i) base salary or wage at least equal to the Business Employee’s base salary or wage on the Closing Date, and (ii) other compensation and benefits (excluding equity and equity-based awards, non-qualified deferred compensation, severance benefits, defined benefit pension plans, post-termination and retiree health and welfare benefits, retention and transaction based payments) that are in the aggregate substantially similar to the other compensation and benefits offered to the Acquired Employees by the Seller or its applicable Affiliate immediately prior to Closing.

(c)Employment Guarantee Period.  If Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s controlled Affiliates terminates the employment of any Acquired Employee other than for cause or due to the fact that Separate Payment is no longer in effect during the [***]-year period immediately following the Closing Date (“Employment Guarantee Period”), Purchaser or Purchaser’s applicable Affiliate will pay to the Acquired Employee a severance benefit on the terms set forth in Section 6.11(c) of the Seller Schedule.  Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates shall not have any obligations under this Section 6.11(c), (1) if the employee is terminated for cause or due to the fact that Separate Payment is no longer in effect or (2) in the event an employee voluntarily terminates employment.  Purchaser shall be permitted to condition the benefits under this paragraph on the Acquired Employee entering a customary release of all claims and such release becoming effective in accordance with its terms where permitted by applicable Law.

​

(d)Benefit Plans.  All Acquired Employees shall be eligible to participate in Purchaser’s employee benefit plans pursuant to the terms and conditions of such plans.  Acquired Employees shall be given credit, without duplication, for service time with the Seller or its applicable Affiliate for purposes of eligibility and vesting, including with respect to level of vacation, under Purchaser’s plans (other than with respect to equity and equity-based awards, non-qualified deferred compensation, defined benefit pension plans, post-termination and retiree health and welfare benefits, retention and transaction based payments) to the same extent and for the same purpose as such service was credited to such Acquired Employees under the analogous employee benefit plan of the Seller or its applicable Affiliate immediately prior to the Closing.  During the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, Purchaser shall, with respect to any eligible Acquired Employee or, as applicable, a family member of an eligible Acquired Employee, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any waiting period, (ii) waive any exclusion or limitation for preexisting conditions which were covered under any group health plan maintained by the Seller prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) grant credit (for purposes of annual deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket limits) for any covered claims incurred or payments made prior to the Closing Date.

(e)Closing-Year Bonuses.  With respect to Seller bonus and commission incentives for which the applicable performance period has ended on or prior to the Closing Date, or which has otherwise been earned, and in which any Acquired Employee participates, Seller shall pay to each such Acquired Employee the bonus or commission earned based on actual performance and without respect to any continued service requirements, no later than the date on which Seller pays such bonuses or commissions to other similarly situated employees of Seller.  With respect to any Seller bonus or commission incentives for which the applicable performance period has not ended on or prior to the Closing Date and in which any Acquired Employee participates, Seller shall pay to each Acquired Employee a prorated annual bonus or commission, as applicable, the amount of which shall equal the product of the applicable Acquired Employee’s annual bonus or commission (based on actual performance) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs that elapse prior to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is 365.  Such prorated bonuses and commissions shall be paid no later than the date on which Seller pays such bonuses to other similarly situated employees of Seller.  Notwithstanding the above, any bonus or commission payable under this paragraph (e) shall be paid no later than June 30^th of the calendar year following the year to which such bonus relates.

(f)Accrued Vacation, Sick Leave and Personal Time. Seller shall pay each Acquired Employee all accrued but unused vacation and paid time-off for periods prior to the Closing Date as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing Date.

(g)401(k) Plan.  Seller shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to cause all Acquired Employees who participate in the Seller 401(k) Plan (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) to be fully vested in their account balances under the Seller 401(k) Plan, and shall make to the Seller 401(k) Plan all employer contributions that would have been made on behalf of such employees had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred, regardless of any service or end of year employment requirements, but prorated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing Date.

​

46

​

(h)Employee Communications.  Any broad-based written (or prepared oral) communications proposed to be made to any Business Employees pertaining to compensation or benefit entitlements to be provided following the Closing Date or any other employment matters resulting from the transactions contemplated in this Agreement shall be subject to prior approval of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of the intended communication (including, in the case of any such oral communications, copies of scripts, talking points or other similar materials), and Seller shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication.

(i)No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights: (i) in any other Person, including any Business Employee, any participant in any employee benefit plan of Seller or Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, or to (ii) continued employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or to any particular term or condition of employment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Business Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or shall restrict in any manner the right of Purchaser to discharge, terminate or modify any compensation arrangement of any Acquired Employee for any reason at any time.  Nothing in this Section 6.11 shall (a) be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any employee benefit plan of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or (b) create any third party rights in any Business Employee, or other current or former employee or service provider of Seller or its Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

(j)Non-Solicitation. From the Closing Date and for a period of one year thereafter, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any senior (director level or above) employee of Seller with whom Purchaser came into contact in connection with its evaluation of the Acquisition (other than the Business Employees) or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except (i) pursuant to a general solicitation or advertisements which is not directed specifically to any such employees, (ii) employment efforts made through employment agencies and third party recruiters and (iii) for such employees who have approached Purchaser in an unsolicited manner; provided that nothing in this Section 6.11(j) shall prevent Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from soliciting or hiring (i) any employee whose employment has been terminated by Seller; (ii) after 90 days from the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee or (iii) any Business Employees.

Section 6.12WARN Act.  Purchaser agrees to provide any required notice under the WARN Act, and any similar Law, and to otherwise comply with the WARN Act and any such other similar Law with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting Acquired Employees occurring after the Closing Date and Seller and Seller’s Affiliates agree to provide any required notice under the WARN Act, and any similar Law, and to otherwise comply with the WARN Act and any such other similar Law with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” or group termination or similar event affecting any Business Employees on or prior to the Closing Date.  Seller shall

​

47

​

notify Purchaser of any “employment loss” (as defined in WARN) of any Business Employees that occur during the 90-day period prior to the Closing.

Section 6.13Accounts Payable.  In the event that, subsequent to the Closing, Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser receives any invoices from any third party with respect to any account payable relating to the Business outstanding prior to the Closing, then Purchaser shall, within 30 days after receipt of such invoice, provide a copy of such invoice to Seller.  In the event that, subsequent to the Closing, Seller or any of its Affiliates receives any invoices from any third party with respect to any account payable relating to the Business for any period after the Closing, then Seller shall, within 30 days after receipt of such invoice, provide a copy of such invoice to Purchaser.

Section 6.14Wrong Pockets; Payments.

(a)After the Closing, if the Seller or any of its Affiliates is the owner of, receives or otherwise comes to possess any Purchased Asset, the Seller promptly shall notify Purchaser and transfer or cause to be transferred, such Purchased Asset to Purchaser.  After the Closing, if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is the owner of, receives or otherwise comes to possess any Excluded Asset or any other asset that is unrelated to the Business or properly belongs to the Seller or any of its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller and transfer or cause to be transferred, such Excluded Asset or other asset to the Seller (or to the Affiliate designated by the Seller).  Prior to any such transfer, the Person receiving or possessing such asset shall hold such asset for the benefit of any such other Person and shall not use such asset (or payment in respect of such asset) for any other purpose.

(b)In the event that, after the Closing Date, any Party receives any payments or other funds due to the other Party pursuant to the terms of any of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, then the Party receiving such funds shall promptly (and in any case within 15 Business Days) forward such funds to the proper Party.  The Parties acknowledge and agree there is no right of offset regarding such payments and a Party may not withhold funds received from third parties for the account of the other Party in the event there is a dispute regarding any other issue under any of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

(c)If the Seller or any of its Affiliates makes any deposit or payment prior to the Closing under any Purchased Contract in respect of supplies of goods for the Business not received prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse to the Seller or its applicable Affiliate, within 15 Business Days following the Closing Date, an amount equal to the portion of such deposit or payment that relates to the goods to be received after the Closing by Purchaser.  If any customer or other third party offsets from any amount payable to the Seller or any of its Affiliates, any amount owed from the Business to such customer or other third party which is an Assumed Liability, Purchaser shall reimburse to the Seller or its applicable Affiliate an amount equal to such offset within 15 Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of an invoice therefor, with reasonable supporting documentation.

Section 6.15Noncompetition.  Until the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to all Royalties, Seller shall not, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to, whether alone or

​

48

​

jointly with another party, directly or indirectly, knowingly carry on or be engaged or concerned or interested economically or otherwise in any manner in the development, Manufacture, distribution, sale, marketing, promotion or other commercialization of any product which competes with the Subject Products anywhere in the world or own, manage, operate or control any Person engaged in such a competing business.

Section 6.16Rights of the Parties During the Term of Certain Ancillary Agreements.  The Seller or its applicable Affiliate shall retain any and all rights under Contracts, all equipment that would be considered Purchased Equipment, supplies and other fixed assets, all Regulatory Approvals and any other assets that would otherwise be considered Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 2.1 (the “Required Seller Assets”), to the extent that the Seller or such Affiliate needs such Required Seller Assets in order to provide the services or perform its obligations described in the Transitional Services Agreement.  Each Required Seller Asset shall constitute Excluded Assets until the earlier of (a) such time as a Required Seller Asset is no longer necessary to perform the obligations of the Seller or of any of its Affiliates under the Transitional Services Agreement and (b) the applicable Ancillary Agreement pursuant to which the Seller or its applicable Affiliate needed to use such Required Seller Assets is terminated, at such time the Required Seller Assets will become Purchased Assets and the Parties will arrange for their transfer consistent with Article II and the Transitional Services Agreement.  For the purposes of the representations and warranties of the Seller, the Parties shall deem the Required Seller Assets as having been transferred in its entirety at Closing.

Section 6.17Quality Control.

(a)Purchaser understands and agrees that, except as otherwise required under applicable Law (or as set forth under any Purchased Contract or Ancillary Agreement), from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be responsible for ensuring the Subject Products are manufactured in compliance with applicable Laws, including GMP regulations applicable to the Subject Products and all other quality and manufacturing standards imposed by any applicable Governmental Authorities.  From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be responsible for all quality issues related to Subject Products; provided that the Seller shall, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, provide commercially reasonable assistance, pursuant to the Seller’s standard operating procedures, to Purchaser in handling any such quality issues existing and open prior to the Closing Date related to Subject Products Manufactured, distributed or sold prior to, on or after the Closing Date, whether or not known to Seller as of the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall provide any such requests in writing and provide the Seller with a reasonable time period to respond and prepare assistance.  Any assistance provided by the Seller to Purchaser in handling any such quality issues shall not exceed the Seller’s current standard operating procedures in handling the quality issues as provided in the Seller’s policies and procedures that are effective at the time of the request by Purchaser.

(b)From and after the Closing, in the event that any Governmental Authority shall allege or prove that any Subject Product does not comply with any applicable Law relating to the quality and manufacturing of the Subject Products or Product Specifications, Purchaser shall be fully responsible for such investigation and the disposition thereof. Prior to the transfer of the Purchased Regulatory Approvals to Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate as necessary including to take responsive action, respond to, or engage with the Governmental

​

49

​

Authority.  The Party which sold the applicable Subject Product shall be responsible for all costs and expenses with respect to any such investigation and disposition of such Subject Product.  The Parties shall cooperate and work together in good faith in addressing all such non-compliance allegations and occurrences.

(c)Each Party shall notify the other as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of any misbranding, adulteration, malfunction of or other defect in any Subject Product (a “Defective Product”).  If a Governmental Authority issues a warning letter or threatens or commences an Action (including seeking an injunction) in relation to, seizes, or requests or requires a recall of any Subject Product, Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the other Party of the action, seizure, request or requirement and provide to the other Party a copy of any warning letter or notice given by the Governmental Authority.  If an action as described in the foregoing sentence requires response, Purchaser, after consultation with the Seller, will determine the nature, content and scope of that response and will determine the procedures and steps in respect of that response, whether or not the response is to be given by Purchaser or the Seller.

(d)From and after Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to decide whether to undertake a recall of any Subject Product voluntarily, and the nature, level and scope of, and all steps and procedures with respect to, any such voluntary recall and if Purchaser decides to recall a Defective Product, then (i) Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps to effect the recall and (ii) Purchaser and the Seller shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the costs of such recall.

(e)If a Governmental Authority orders the recall of any Subject Product after the Purchased Regulatory Approvals have been transferred to the Purchaser, Purchaser shall comply with any notice given by the Governmental Authority with respect to such recall.  If a Governmental Authority orders the recall of any Subject Product from and after the Closing Date but prior to the date of transfer of the Purchased Regulatory Approvals to Purchaser, Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller with respect to such recall.  The Party that sold the applicable Subject Product shall be responsible for all costs and expenses with respect to any recalls of any Subject Product from and after the Closing Date.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Defective Product that is subject to a recall (either initiated by Purchaser or ordered by a Governmental Authority) bears any of the Seller Names and Marks on the product label, Purchaser shall (i) notify the Seller of the recall decision, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than two Business Days after Purchaser decides to or is ordered to conduct the recall of the Defective Product, and (ii) provide the Seller and its applicable Affiliates with an opportunity to review any proposed materials related to the recall prior to the filing or publication thereof and any related process with respect thereto and any proposed correspondence or other communication with any Governmental Authorities with respect to any proposed or submitted recall materials.

(g)In connection with the undertakings set forth in Section 6.17(a)-(f), Purchaser agrees to reimburse the Seller for the value of any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with any activities undertaken by the Seller or any of its Affiliates to handle such quality issues at the request of Purchaser or as otherwise required by any Governmental Authority or applicable Law at any

​

50

​

time on and after the Closing Date to the extent related to Product Manufactured, distributed or sold on or after the Closing Date.

(h)Notwithstanding any term or condition of Section 2.7, in the event that one or more units of Subject Product that were sold by or on behalf of Seller on or prior to December 31, 2021, are recalled after December 31, 2021, then any amounts of Net Revenue or Sublicense Revenue received by Purchaser, its Affiliates or its or their assignees or licensees (or sublicensees, regardless of tier) in connection with the sale of units of Subject Product to replace such recalled units of Subject Product, shall be payable in their entirety to Seller pursuant to the same reporting and payment procedures set forth in Section 2.7 with respect to the payment of Royalties.

Section 6.18Insurance.  Purchaser is aware that the Business and the Purchased Assets are currently covered by group umbrella insurance policies taken out by Seller.  The coverage under such group umbrella insurance policies is only for the benefit of the Seller and its Affiliates, and not for the benefit of Purchaser or the Business and at all times after the Closing, neither the Business nor any claim made in respect of the Business will be covered by such group umbrella insurance policies.  As of the Closing Date and consistent with Article II, Purchaser agrees to arrange for its own insurance policies with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Business covering all periods and agrees not to seek, through any means, to benefit from the Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ insurance policies which may provide coverage for claims relating in any way to the Purchased Assets and the Business (including for any events, occurrences or accidents occurring on or before the Closing Date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, until September 30, 2022, Seller shall maintain a “run-off” product liability insurance policy upon the Product in such amounts and of such kinds comparable to that in effect on the Execution Date.

Section 6.19Trade Notification.  From the Execution Date through the Closing, the Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to agree in writing on the method and content of the notifications to customers and suppliers of the sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser hereunder; provided, that the Seller shall have the sole right to deliver such notifications to customers prior to the Closing.  Purchaser (prior to the Closing) shall not make any other communications or give any other notices to customers or suppliers relating to the transactions contemplated hereby prior to the date of, or inconsistent with the terms of, such written agreement.

Section 6.20Transfer of Purchased Regulatory Approvals and Compliance with Regulatory Requirements.

(a)Immediately following the Closing, Purchaser shall assume all regulatory responsibilities for compliance with the requirements of the FDA and similar state and foreign Governmental Authorities relating to the Exploitation of any Subject Product to the extent that such responsibilities can be transferred to Purchaser from Seller as of the Closing Date.  In each case, such requirements include the FDCA, FDA’s implementing regulations, and all similar requirements in other jurisdictions. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate to execute regulatory responsibilities between the Closing Date and the transfer of the Purchased Regulatory

​

51

​

Approvals to Purchaser.  For the avoidance of doubt, any responsibilities not transferred as of the Closing Date will occur upon the transfer of the Purchased Regulatory Approvals to Purchaser.

(b)With respect to the Purchased Regulatory Approvals held by the Seller or a Selling Affiliate, Seller and Purchaser shall as soon as possible after the Closing Date, and in any event in accordance with the applicable time set forth on Section 6.20(b) of the Seller Schedule undertake all actions necessary to effect the transfer of such Regulatory Approvals, including complying with the requirements under applicable Laws and requests of Governmental Authorities with respect to the transfer of such Regulatory Approvals.  Within the applicable time set forth on Section 6.20(b) of the Seller Schedule, each Party, as appropriate, shall, amend, update, cancel or establish any manufacturer registrations and product listings for each of the Subject Products as needed to comply with applicable Regulatory Laws.  Seller will upon Purchaser’s request provide reasonable assistance to Purchaser with respect to the transfer of such Regulatory Approvals. For clarity, Purchaser shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any such transfers, registrations and listings, including costs arising from procurement of certain ancillary documents, registration file transfer, document transfer, archive copying and document legalization.

(c)With respect to Purchased Regulatory Approvals for which the Seller or any Selling Affiliate continues to hold in accordance with Section 2.5, the Seller shall, and shall cause the relevant Selling Affiliates to, use reasonable efforts to maintain the Purchased Regulatory Approvals, including to continue as holder or applicant of the Purchased Regulatory Approvals, to support routine maintenance and to pursue any ongoing variations, amendments and renewals of the Purchased Regulatory Approvals, which are pending as of the Closing Date, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.  Purchaser shall promptly inform the Seller (without any request of the Seller being required) of any changes in the Product, Manufacturing processes or any other items requiring submission to any Governmental Authority in order to maintain the Purchased Regulatory Approvals.  Purchaser shall upon Seller’s reasonable request provide reasonable assistance to the Seller with respect to the maintenance of such Purchased Regulatory Approvals.  Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with the maintenance of the Purchased Regulatory Approvals.

(d)The Seller shall, however, not be obligated to continue to own and maintain such Purchased Regulatory Approvals in any jurisdiction for longer than the time set forth next to such jurisdiction on Section 6.20(b) of the Seller Schedule except to the extent Purchaser has not yet obtained an applicable Purchased Regulatory Approval as the direct result of the Seller having failed to make any required filings for a transfer of such Purchased Regulatory Approval pursuant to this Agreement.  Irrespective of whether the Purchased Regulatory Approvals have been transferred or not, from and after the Closing Date, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for conducting any studies or testing (including non-clinical, clinical and stability studies) concerning any Subject Product, except to the extent the failure by the Seller or any of its Affiliates to conduct such study would be a violation of applicable Law (in which exceptional case the Seller shall, and shall procure that its applicable Affiliates will, at the cost of Purchaser, conduct such studies until such studies may be transferred to Purchaser).

​

​

Section 6.21Exclusivity.  During the Pre-Closing Period, the Seller or its Affiliates shall not, and they shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of their respective representatives to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate or induce the making, submission or announcement of, or knowingly encourage, facilitate or assist, an Acquisition Proposal, (b) furnish to any Person (other than Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective designees) any nonpublic information relating to the Business, or afford to any Person (other than Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective designees) access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel, of the Seller, in any such case with the intent to induce the making, submission or announcement of, or the intent to encourage, facilitate or assist, an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (c) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, or (d) enter into any Contract relating to an Acquisition Proposal.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law or confidentiality obligations, Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser if any director, executive officer or representative of Seller becomes aware of any receipt by such Person of (i) any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any request for information that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) any inquiry with respect to, or which would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the Person or group making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry.  The Seller and the Selling Affiliates shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective designees) conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing.

Section 6.22Financing.

(a)Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to consummate and obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on or prior to the Closing Date on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including using its reasonable best efforts to:

(i)maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter;

(ii)negotiate and enter into all of the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Agreements”) consistent with the terms and conditions contained therein (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) on or prior to the Closing Date or on other terms no less favorable to the Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, taken as a whole (including with respect to the conditionality thereof); and

(iii)comply with its obligations in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Definitive Agreements.

(b)In the event that all conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter have been satisfied (or upon such funding will be satisfied), Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall cause the Lenders to fund the Debt Financing and to pay related fees and

​

53

​

expenses on the Closing Date. Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall comply with its obligations, and enforce its rights, under the Debt Commitment Letter.

(c)Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed):

(i)permit any material amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to, or any material waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification, waiver or remedy could be reasonably expected to prevent, impede or delay in any material respect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or impose any new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any other provision of the Debt Commitment Letter that would materially and adversely affect the ability of Purchaser to fund its obligations when due under this Agreement; or

(ii)terminate, or permit the termination of, the Debt Commitment Letter (other than termination upon entering into a Definitive Agreement), unless such Debt Commitment Letter is replaced with a new commitment that, were it structured as an amendment to an existing Debt Commitment Letter, would satisfy the requirements of the foregoing clause (i).  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prevent the Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, from replacing or amending the Debt Commitment Letter in order to add lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities which had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof or as required pursuant to the market flex provisions in the fee letters.

(d)In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable will use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) obtain alternative debt financing (in an amount sufficient for the Purchaser to pay the Purchase Price) from the same or other sources that are on terms that are no less favorable, taken as a whole, to Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, and (ii) promptly notify Seller of such unavailability and the reason therefor.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the term Debt Commitment Letter shall be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any alternative debt financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Debt Commitment Letters remaining in effect at the time in question), as well as all amendments, modifications and supplements permitted under this Agreement.

(e)Purchaser shall provide Seller with prompt written notice of (i) any material breach or default by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements of which Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, becomes aware or (ii) the receipt of any notice or other communication from any financing source with respect to any breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements of any provision thereof (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing or Definitive Agreements); provided, that any information disclosed in such notice shall be subject to the confidentiality covenants set forth in Section 6.3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, compliance by Purchaser with this Section 6.22 shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Debt Financing is available and Purchaser

​

​

acknowledges that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are not contingent on Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s, as applicable, ability to obtain the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing) or any specific term with respect to such financing.

Section 6.23Financing Cooperation.

(a)Prior to the Closing, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to provide, and to cause its Affiliates to provide, to Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, and at Purchaser’s sole expense, such cooperation reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the Debt Financing including:

(i)assisting with the preparation of customary materials for rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda and similar syndication materials; participating in a reasonable number of meetings (including customary meetings among the finance providers, prospective lenders and investors, and senior management and representatives of the Seller and meetings with rating agencies) and providing customary authorization letters to the financing providers authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders or investors

(ii)providing all reasonably available financial information of the type and form customarily included in offering documents used for the syndication of credit facilities of the type to be included in the Debt Financing and as may reasonably be requested in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Debt Financing; provided, that the Seller shall not provide any pro forma financial information or information about the Seller on an unconsolidated basis;

(iii)reasonably assisting in (A) the preparation and execution and delivery of one or more credit or other agreements governing the Debt Financing, as well as any security documents, intercreditor documents, certificates or other definitive financing documents in connection with the Debt Financing and (B) the facilitation of pledging of collateral and negotiation of payoff letters and lien releases on the Purchased Assets; and

(iv)providing to Purchaser all documentation and other information reasonably requested by Purchaser to comply with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations (including the USA Patriot Act and the Lenders’ corresponding internal policies of general application to all borrowers), to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the Debt Financing at least 10 Business Days prior to Closing;

provided, however, that in no event shall cooperation by Seller be required to the extent it would, or would be reasonably likely to, (A) interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Seller, (B) require the Seller to take any action that will conflict with or violate the Seller’s constitutional documents or any applicable Law, (C) require the Seller to enter into or approve any documentation referred to in paragraph (iii) above that takes effect or is effective prior to the Closing or (D) require the Seller to bear any out of pocket cost or expense, pay any fee or provide any indemnity, in each case to the extent effective prior to the Closing.

​

55

​

(b)Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall, promptly upon request by Seller, reimburse Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective representatives for all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the cooperation contemplated by this Section 6.23 (including reasonable and documented legal and accounting fees and expenses).  Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by it in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (including any information utilized in connection therewith in each case prior to the Closing occurring), except to the extent that such Losses arise out of or in connection with the willful misconduct, bad faith or Fraud by Seller or any of its Affiliates.

Section 6.24Guaranty.  Parent Guarantor shall cause Purchaser to timely perform and fulfill its obligations (including payment obligations) under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements if, as and when due and shall perform the obligations of Purchaser if Purchaser is unable to, or does not, promptly perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.  Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the complete, timely and full discharge by Purchaser of all of its covenants, agreements, obligations and Liabilities under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including the due and punctual payment of all amounts which are or may become due and payable by Purchaser hereunder or thereunder if, when and as the same shall become due and payable (collectively, the “Obligations”), in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, that in no event shall Parent Guarantor’s aggregate liability hereunder exceed the Purchase Price (the “Guaranty Cap”).  Parent Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to all Obligations to pay money, such guaranty shall be a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Purchaser.  If Purchaser shall default in the due and punctual performance of any Obligations, including the full and timely payment of any amount due and payable pursuant to any Obligations, Parent Guarantor will forthwith perform or cause to be performed such Obligations and will forthwith make full payment of any amount due with respect thereto at its sole cost and expense, subject to the Guaranty Cap.  The guaranty set forth in this Section 6.24 is absolute and unconditional and Parent Guarantor waives any and all defenses available to a guarantor (other than performance in full by Purchaser) that would not be available to Parent Guarantor if Parent Guarantor was the purchasing entity under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement instead of Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.24 or otherwise, the Parties hereby agree that (a) to the extent Purchaser is relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Parent Guarantor shall be similarly relieved of its corresponding obligations under this Section 6.24, (b) Parent Guarantor shall have all rights, remedies, set-offs and defenses to the payment of the Obligation that would be available to Purchaser under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, as well as any defenses in respect of any Fraud of the Seller or its Affiliates and (c) any payment made by or on behalf of Purchaser with respect to the Obligations shall reduce the Obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Section 6.24 accordingly.

Section 6.25License.  Effective as of the Closing, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser an irrevocable and perpetual non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, freely transferable (solely to Affiliates or Third Parties to which Purchaser is transferring rights to Exploit Subject Products), royalty-free right and license, with the right to grant sublicenses in multiple tiers (solely to

​

56

​

Affiliates or Third Parties to which Purchaser is sublicensing rights to sell Subject Products), under all Intellectual Property and Know-How (other than Purchased Intellectual Property and Purchased Know-How) Controlled by Seller or its Affiliates as of the Closing Date (or after the Closing Date to the extent such Intellectual Property and Know-How Controlled by Seller or its Affiliates arises under the Transitional Services Agreement) that is necessary to Exploit Subject Products and for the sole purpose of, and solely to the extent necessary for, Exploiting Subject Products.

Section 6.26Technology Transfer Payments.  From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for any and all payments owed and unpaid by or on behalf of Seller to Patheon Manufacturing Services LLC in connection with technology transfer services related to the Product manufactured prior to the Closing Date within 15 Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of an invoice therefor, with reasonable supporting documentation.

Section 6.27Patents; Licensing; Royalty Buy-Out.

(a)From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall maintain all the Purchased Intellectual Property that are Patents that contain issued and unexpired Valid Claims, and use diligent efforts to prosecute in good faith all Purchased Intellectual Property that are Patents that are pending patent applications.

(b)Unless consented to by the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall [^***].

(c)Prior to Closing, the Parties shall discuss and consider a mechanism and valuation method that would provide the Purchaser with a right to buy-out the remaining Royalty Term in the future.  If the terms and conditions of such a mechanism are mutually agreed (in each Party’s sole discretion), the Parties would expect to amend and restate this Agreement in order to make corresponding adjustments to the provisions relating to payment of the Royalty and the consent requirement under Section 6.27(b).

Section 6.28SVB Consent; UCC amendments.

(a)Seller (i) shall cause each of the conditions in Section 3 of the SVB Consent to be satisfied on the Closing Date and (ii) shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), permit (x) the termination of the SVB Consent or (y) any material amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to, or any material waiver of any provision under, the SVB Consent if such amendment, modification, waiver or remedy could be reasonably expected to prevent, impede or delay satisfaction of the conditions in Section 3 of the SVB Consent or the effectiveness of the consent granted thereunder, in each case, prior to the Closing Date.

(b)On the Closing Date, Seller shall file UCC amendments, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, expressly excluding the Purchased Assets from the description of collateral in the financing statements on record with respect to the Lien granted under the Loan Agreement (as defined in the SVB Consent).

Section 6.29Replicative Agreements.  From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in negotiating agreements between Purchaser and each of the counterparties to the Contracts listed on Section 6.29 of the Seller Schedule (each, a “Retained Shared Contract”), such agreements to be on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Retained Shared Contracts.  Until the earlier of such time as Purchaser enters into such an agreement with respect to each Retained Shared Contract and one year following the Closing Date, such Retained Shared Contract shall be deemed to be a “Shared Contract” for purposes of Section 2.5(c) of this Agreement (except that such Retained Shared Contract shall not be assigned, transferred or otherwise conveyed by Seller to Purchaser).

​

59

​

Section 8.1Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated and the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)by mutual written consent of the Seller and Purchaser;

(b)by Seller or Purchaser, by written notice to the other Party:

(i)if the Closing does not occur on or prior to the date that is 120 days following the Execution Date (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose willful breach or failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of, or materially contributed to, the failure of the Closing to have occurred on or before the Outside Date.

(ii)if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any non-appealable final order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any Party whose willful breach or failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of, or materially contributed to, the issuance of such non-appealable final order, decree or judgment.

(c)by Purchaser, by written notice to the Seller, if the Seller shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 and (ii) cannot be cured by the Seller by the Outside Date, or if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured by the earlier of (1) the 30^th day following receipt by the Seller of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from Purchaser stating Purchaser’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) and the basis for such termination and (2) the Outside Date; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if Purchaser is then in breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder which breach would result in a condition to Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.3 not being satisfied; or

(d)by the Seller, by written notice to Purchaser, if Purchaser shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.3 and (ii) cannot be cured by Purchaser by the Outside Date, or if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured by the earlier of (A) the 30^th day following receipt by Purchaser of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Seller stating the Seller’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) and the basis for such termination and (B) the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if the Seller is then in breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder which breach would result in a condition to Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 not being satisfied (other than those conditions that (x) by their terms are to be satisfied at the

​

60

​

Closing or (y) the failure of which to be satisfied is attributable primarily to a breach by Purchaser of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement).

Section 8.2Effect of Termination.

(a)In the event of termination by the Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and of no further force and effect (other than the provisions of Section 6.3 (Confidentiality), Section 6.6 (Publicity), Article VIII (Termination), Section 11.3 (Fees and Expenses), Section 11.4 (Notices), Section 11.5 (Interpretation), Section 11.9 (Governing Law) and Section 11.10 (Waiver of Jury Trial), all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of Purchaser or Seller or their respective Affiliates or representatives, except as liability may exist pursuant to the sections specified in this Section 8.2(a) that survive such termination.

(b)If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are terminated as provided herein (i) Purchaser promptly shall, and shall cause each of its controlled Affiliates and representatives who were provided with Confidential Information by Purchaser to, return to the Seller or destroy, all Confidential Information and other documents and other material received from the Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective representatives relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof; (ii) all information received by Purchaser or its Affiliates or representatives with respect to the business of the Seller and its Affiliates shall be treated in accordance with Section 6.3(a), which the Parties agree shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement and (iii) as soon as practicable following a termination of this Agreement for any reason, but in no event more than 30 days after such termination, Purchaser and the Seller shall, to the extent practicable, withdraw all filings, applications and other submissions relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement filed or submitted by or on behalf of such Party to any Governmental Authority or other person.

ARTICLE IX

Indemnification; Survival

Section 9.1Indemnification by the Seller.  Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, representatives and employees (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”), from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, damages, charges, claims, fines, penalties, interest or expenses, including reasonable third-party legal fees and expenses in connection with any Action (collectively, “Losses”), suffered, incurred or sustained by a Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent arising or resulting from any of the following:

(a)any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement; provided, that all “material,” “materiality,” “Business Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifications limiting the scope of such representation or warranty shall be disregarded

​

61

​

for the purposes of this Article IX (solely for the purposes of determining the amount of Loss resulting from any such breach);

(b)any breach or failure by Seller to perform any covenant or agreement of the Seller contained in this Agreement; and

(c)any Excluded Asset or Retained Liability.

Section 9.2Indemnification by Purchaser.  Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors representatives and employees (the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses, actually suffered, incurred or sustained by a Seller Indemnitee, to the extent arising or resulting from any of the following:

(a)any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement;

(b)any breach or failure by Purchaser to perform any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and

(c)any Assumed Liability.

Section 9.3Indemnification Procedures.

(a)Third Party Claims.  If any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) receives written notice of the commencement of any Action or the assertion of any claim by a third party or the imposition of any penalty or assessment for which indemnity may be sought under Sections 9.1 or 9.2 (a “Third Party Claim”), and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) with written notice of such Third Party Claim, stating the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant documents evidencing such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification sought.  Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice within the time frame specified will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.  The Indemnifying Party will have 30 days from receipt of any such notice of a Third Party Claim to give notice to assume the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings thereof.  If notice to the effect set forth in the immediately preceding sentence is given by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings of the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim if (x) the claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief or (y) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that an actual or potential conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that would make separate representation inadvisable, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Third Party Action involving a warranty or other claim in connection with (i) Tax Returns or (ii) a commercial relationship between or involving the third party claimant or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, on the other hand.  The Indemnified Party shall diligently conduct such defense, appeal or settlement

​

62

​

(including the making of all filings and responses due during such time) during the period prior to the assumption of such defense, appeal or settlement proceeding by the Indemnifying Party, or the expiration of such 30-day notice period.  So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings of the Third Party Claim in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not admit to any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim for which it obtains a full release of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim or to which settlement the Indemnified Party consents in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  As to any Third Party Claim with respect to which the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control of the defense, the Indemnified Party will afford the Indemnifying Party an opportunity to participate in such defense, at its cost and expense, and will consult with the Indemnifying Party prior to settling or otherwise disposing of any of the same.  The Parties will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with Third Party Claims.  The Parties will also cooperate in any such defense, appeal or settlement proceedings, and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto.  Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings with respect to a Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b)Other Claims.

(i)As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 30 days, after an Indemnified Party becomes aware of any claim (a “Direct Claim”) that does not involve a Third Party Claim that might result in Losses for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall provide written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party: stating the nature, basis, the amount thereof (to the extent known or estimated, which amount shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Direct Claim), the method of computation thereof (to the extent known or estimated) and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto, along with copies of the relevant documents evidencing such Direct Claim and the basis for indemnification sought.  Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such Claim Notice within the time frame specified will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.

(ii)Following receipt of a Claim Notice from an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have 60 days to make such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifying Party reasonably deems necessary or desirable.  For the purposes of such investigation, the Indemnified Party agrees to make available to the Indemnifying Party or its representatives the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the claim and all other information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control that the Indemnifying Party reasonably requests.

​

63

​

(iii)Within such 60-day period, an Indemnifying Party may object to any claim set forth in such Claim Notice by delivering written notice to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s objection (an “Indemnification Objection Notice”).  Such Indemnification Objection Notice must describe the grounds for such objection in reasonable detail.  If an Indemnification Objection Notice is not delivered by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within 60 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Claim Notice (the “Indemnification Objection Period”), the Indemnified Party shall be free to seek enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to such Direct Claim.

(iv)If an Indemnifying Party shall object in writing during the Indemnification Objection Period to any claim or claims by an Indemnified Party made in any Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of the Indemnification Objection Notice to respond in a written statement to such objection.  If after such 30-day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith for 20 days (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) thereafter to agree in writing upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims.  If no such written agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party may take action to resolve the objection in accordance with Sections 11.9, 11.10 and 11.11.

Section 9.4Limitations on Indemnification.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(a)except with respect to claims for Losses arising from Fraud, Seller shall not be liable for any Losses with respect to the matters set forth in Section 9.1(a) (i) unless the amount of Losses with respect to any individual indemnified matter (together with Losses from any substantially similar event, occurrence, condition or set of facts or circumstances) is greater than $[^***] (“Per Claim Threshold”) and (ii) until the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $[***] (the “Basket”); provided, however, that Losses attributable to a breach of any Seller Specified Representations shall not be subject to the Per Claim Threshold or the Basket; and provided, further, however, that if such aggregate amount of Losses exceeds the Basket, then the Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for the entire amount of all such Losses.

(b)except with respect to claims for Losses arising from Fraud, Purchaser shall not be liable for any Losses with respect to the matters set forth in Section 9.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the Basket; provided, however, that if such aggregate amount of Losses exceeds the Basket, then the Seller Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for the entire amount of all such Losses.

(c)except with respect to claims for Losses arising from Fraud, the Seller’s maximum liabilities to the Purchaser Indemnitees under Section 9.1(a) shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to $[***] (the “Cap”); provided, however, that for Losses attributable to a breach of any Seller Specified Representations, the Cap shall equal the Purchase Price.

​

(d)except with respect to claims for Losses arising from Fraud, the Purchaser’s maximum liabilities to the Seller Indemnitees under Section 9.2(a) shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to the Cap; provided, however, that for Losses attributable to a breach of any Purchaser Specified Representations, the Cap shall equal the Purchase Price.

(e)without limitation to the other provisions of this Section 9.4, except with respect to claims for Losses arising from Fraud, the maximum liabilities to the Purchaser Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, as the case may be, under this Article IX shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price;

(f)no Party shall have any liability for an otherwise indemnifiable Loss that is contingent unless and until such contingent Loss becomes an actual Loss of the Indemnified Party and is due and payable;

(g)no Party shall be liable for any Losses to the extent the Purchaser Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, failed to take reasonable steps to mitigate such Losses or otherwise comply with its duty to mitigate in accordance with Laws and Section 9.5(c);

(h)no Party shall be liable for any Loss to the extent arising from (i) a change in Law or a change in accounting or taxation policy or practice made after the Closing, other than a change required to comply with any Law, policy or practice in effect on the Execution Date, or (ii) any Law not in force on the Execution Date or any change in Law which takes effect retroactively or occurs as a result of any increase in the rates of taxation in force on the Execution Date;

(i)no Party shall be liable for any otherwise indemnifiable Loss arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such Party unless a timely claim therefore is asserted with specificity and in writing by the Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 9.7, failing which such claim shall be waived and extinguished; and

(j)Losses shall include only direct and actual losses, and shall not include special, indirect, incidental, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages of any Party or lost or anticipated profits, revenues or opportunities or business interruption of any other Party, or any damages calculated by reference to a multiplier of revenue, profits, EBITDA or similar methodology, whether or not caused by or resulting from the actions of a Party or the breach of its covenants, agreements, representations or warranties hereunder and whether or not based on or in warranty, contract, tort (including negligence, strict liability or innocent or negligent misrepresentation or misstatement) or otherwise; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.4 shall preclude any recovery by an Indemnified Party against an Indemnifying Party for a Third Party Claim otherwise recoverable hereunder.

Section 9.5Calculation of Indemnity Payments.

(a)The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be (i) net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss, and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any

​

65

​

such indemnified amount.  In computing the amount of any such 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 hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified amount.

(b)If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of Losses that are the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Losses have been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) (1) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Losses plus (2) the amount received by the Indemnified Party in respect thereof over (ii) the full amount of the Losses.  In the event that an Indemnified Party has any rights against a third party with respect to any Loss that results in a payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such rights to the extent of such payment.  Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, each Indemnified Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims.

(c)Each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss indemnifiable hereunder upon and after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Loss.  No Party shall be entitled to any payment, adjustment or indemnification more than once with respect to the same matter.

Section 9.6Exclusivity.

(a)Except (i) as expressly provided for in this Agreement or in the Ancillary Agreements in accordance with their terms and (ii) with respect to Losses resulting from Fraud, from and after the Closing, each Party’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX and the remedies in Section 11.13, as applicable.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action whether based on warranty, in contract, in tort (including negligence, strict liability or innocent or negligent misrepresentation or misstatement) or otherwise that such Party or any other Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, may have against the other Party, any of its Affiliates or any other Person, arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX, the remedies in Section 11.13, and except with respect to Losses resulting from Fraud.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of one Party, on the one hand, or the other Party, on the other hand, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)Purchaser, on behalf of itself and each other Purchaser Indemnitee, acknowledges and agrees that Sellers’s indemnification obligations under Article IX will be paid solely as follows: (A) first, by way of deduction and set off against any (i) Royalty or (ii)

​

66

​

Milestone Payment, in each case, owed by Purchaser to the Seller and (B) second, by direct payment by Seller to the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee (other than with respect to claims for indemnification under Section 9.1(a) for breach of representations and warranties of Seller that are not Seller Specified Representations, which shall only be payable pursuant to clause (A)(i)); provided, that nothing herein shall in any way limit the Purchaser’s recourse against any Person in respect of Fraud.

Section 9.7Tax Treatment of Indemnification.  For all Tax purposes, Purchaser and the Seller agree to treat any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” under Section 1313(a) of the Code (or corresponding provision of state, local or non-U.S.  Tax Laws).

Section 9.8Survival.  The representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall terminate at the close of business ^*[***] months following the Closing; provided, however, that (i) the Seller Specified Representations shall survive the Closing and shall terminate at the close of business six years following the Closing and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.8 (Taxes) shall survive the Closing and shall terminate 90 days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the matters covered thereby (giving effect to any extension thereof), or, if no such statute of limitations exists, until the 10-year anniversary of the date hereof.  The representations and warranties of Purchaser and Parent Guarantor contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing solely for purposes of Section 9.2(a) and shall terminate at the close of business one year following the Closing, other than the representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.6 (Solvency) and Section 4.9 (Financial Ability), which shall terminate 90 days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the matters covered thereby (giving effect to any extension thereof) or, if longer, the fourth anniversary of the Closing.  None of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement shall survive the Closing other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date.  No Party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof unless a notice of a breach thereof giving rise to a right of indemnity shall have been given to the Party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, if notice of an indemnifiable claim is properly delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, the survival period for such claim shall continue until such claim is fully resolved.

ARTICLE X

Tax matters

Section 10.1Tax Covenants.

(a)Purchase Price Allocation.  As soon as reasonably practicable following the Execution Date and prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on an allocation of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that upon the written request of one Party to the other Party, the Parties shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on such an allocation for 60 days following the Closing Date.  The allocation shall be consistent

​

^* [***] CERTAIN IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT BOTH (A) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (B) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED

​

67

​

with the Estimated Inventory Value, Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, and the methodology described in Section 10.1(a) of the Seller Schedule.  If the Parties agree on such an allocation (such agreed allocation, if any, the “Final Allocation”), The Final Allocation shall thereafter be amended to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price or the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement, including Section 2.7(b), Section 2.7(c) and Section 2.7(i), and shall be consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any provisions of state and local Tax Law, as appropriate) and the methodology described in Section 10.1(a) of the Seller Schedule.  Each of Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other applicable Party, and shall retain and (upon the other applicable Party’s request) furnish or cause to be furnished to the other applicable Party, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities as is reasonably necessary for the preparation and filing of any Tax Return.  Purchaser and the Seller agree that, for purposes of applicable Tax Law, each of the Seller, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall (i) prepare and file their respective Tax Returns that are filed after the Closing Date on a basis consistent with the Final Allocation (as adjusted, if applicable); (ii) to the extent required by applicable Law, file a duly completed IRS Form 8594 (Asset Allocation Statement) consistent with the Final Allocation and amend such IRS Form 8594 if the Final Allocation is adjusted from time to time; (iii) take no position inconsistent with the Final Allocation (as adjusted, if applicable) in any Tax Proceeding unless otherwise required by applicable Law or required as a result of a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or similar provision of state, local or non-U.S.  Tax Law); (iv) notify the other Party of any notice from any Taxing Authority disputing or reasonably expected to dispute the Final Allocation (as adjusted, if applicable); and (v) use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the Final Allocation (as adjusted, applicable) in any Tax Proceeding in accordance with the procedures for Tax Proceedings set forth in Section 10.3(c), unless otherwise required by applicable Law or required as a result of a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law).  If Purchaser and the Seller cannot agree on a Final Allocation, each of Purchaser and the Seller and their respective Affiliates may separately determine the allocation of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the Purchased Assets in any manner consistent with applicable Tax Law.

(b)Transfer Taxes.  Purchaser shall be responsible for paying all Transfer Taxes.  The Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as may be required in connection with Purchaser’s payment of Transfer Taxes.  The Seller and Purchaser, as appropriate, shall execute and deliver all instruments and certificates necessary to enable the other to comply with any filing requirements relating to any such Transfer Taxes.

Section 10.2Cooperation.  The Seller and Purchaser shall each reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns of the Seller or otherwise relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes.  The Seller and its Affiliates will need access, from time to time after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information held by Purchaser or its Affiliates to the extent such records and information pertain to the Purchased Assets or the Business prior to the Closing.  Therefore, Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, (i) use its best efforts to

​

68

​

properly retain and maintain such records until such time as the Seller agree that such retention and maintenance is no longer necessary, and (ii) allow the Seller, its Affiliates and their respective agents and representatives to inspect, review and make copies of such records as the Seller may deem necessary or appropriate from time to time pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 10.3(c); provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have the right to inspect, review or make copies of any income Tax Returns of Seller or its Affiliates.

Section 10.3Payment of Taxes and Tax Proceedings.

(a)Straddle Tax Periods.  In the case of any Tax with respect to the Business or the Purchased Assets that is assessed with respect to a Straddle Tax Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by sales, use, receipts, or other similar items of the Business for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and the amount of any other Taxes of the Business for a Straddle Tax Period which relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Tax Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Tax Period.  All Straddle Tax Period Taxes not allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period pursuant to the foregoing sentence of this Section 10.3(a) shall be allocated to the Post-Closing Tax Period.

(b)Payment of Taxes.  Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall file an amended Tax Return, or agree to any waiver or extension of the statute of limitations relating to Taxes with respect to the Business or the Purchased Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Seller.  Purchaser shall (i) prepare and timely file all Tax Returns (other than any income Tax Returns or Washington B&O Tax Returns of the Seller or its Affiliates) with respect to the Business or the Purchased Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Tax Period that are required to be filed (taking into account customary extensions in the ordinary course) after the Closing and (ii) pay all Taxes shown as due and payable thereon.  All Taxes with respect to the Business or the Purchased Assets that relate to a Straddle Tax Period shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period in accordance with Section 10.3(a), and all other Taxes with respect to the Business or the Purchased Assets that relate to a Straddle Tax Period shall be allocated to the Post-Closing Tax Period.  If at the time of the applicable Closing the rate of Tax or the assessed valuation for the taxable period in which the applicable Closing occurs has not yet been fixed, Taxes imposed on a periodic basis shall be prorated based on the rate of Tax and assessed valuation established for the immediately preceding taxable period.  The Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any Taxes paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 10.3(b) in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period that is a Retained Liability, and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any Taxes paid by Seller or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 10.3(b) in respect of a Post-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period that is not a Retained Liability.  Purchaser shall promptly pay over to the Seller any refund of Tax received by Purchaser (including by way of a credit against other Tax liabilities) that is an Excluded Asset.

(c)Tax Proceedings.  The Seller may choose in its sole discretion (at its expense) to control, or cause its Affiliates to control, all Tax Proceedings relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and any Taxes that are Retained Liabilities, and may make all decisions

​

69

​

taken in connection with such Tax Proceeding (including selection of counsel and whether to forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Taxing Authority with respect thereto).  Each of Purchaser and the Seller shall provide the other with such information and records, and make such of its officers, directors, employees and agents available during normal business hours, as may reasonably be requested by such other party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or the conduct of any Tax Proceeding, the Purchased Assets or the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Seller shall not be required to provide Purchaser with a copy of, or otherwise disclose the contents of, any income Tax Return of the Seller or any of its Affiliates.

ARTICLE XI

Miscellaneous

Section 11.1Assignment.  No Party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Party; provided, that (a) Purchaser and Parent Guarantor may each (i) assign any or all of its respective rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates and (ii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that such assignment does not result in any greater Taxes than Seller or any of its Affiliates would otherwise have incurred (provided, further, that in making any such determination, no deduction under Section 250 of the Code shall be taken into consideration); (b) Purchaser and Parent Guarantor may each assign any or all of its respective rights and interests hereunder solely for collateral security purposes in connection with the Debt Financing to any Lenders; and (c)(i) the Seller may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates or designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform any of its respective obligations hereunder and (ii) after the Closing, a Party may assign this Agreement (and any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder) to any purchaser of all or a substantial portion of its assets or any successor by operation of law so long as such purchaser or successor agrees to satisfy such Party’s obligations under this Agreement.  In all cases, the assigning party shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder notwithstanding such assignment. This Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.

Section 11.5Interpretation.

​

71

​

(a)No reference to or disclosure of any matter or item in this Agreement or in the Seller Schedule or the Purchaser Schedule: (i) shall be construed as an admission or indication that such matter or item is material or that such matter or item is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement, nor shall it be deemed to establish a standard of materiality now or in the future (it being the intent that no Party nor its Affiliates shall be penalized for having disclosed more than may be required by the request); (ii) represents a determination by the Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, or any of their respective Affiliates, that such matter or item did not arise in the ordinary course; (iii) shall imply that such matter or item constitutes or would result in a Business Material Adverse Effect or Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, by the criteria set forth in this Agreement; or (iv) shall imply that disclosure of any such matter or item is required by Law or by any Governmental Authority.  Without limiting the foregoing, no such reference to or disclosure of a possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or Judgment shall be construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.  The Seller and Purchaser agree that the specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Seller Schedule or Purchaser Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Seller Schedule or Purchaser Schedule in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described in this Agreement or included in the Seller Schedule or Purchaser Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)All Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein, the Seller Schedule and the Purchaser Schedule, are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.  Any capitalized terms used in the Seller Schedule and the Purchaser Schedule, as applicable, or in any Exhibit or Schedule annexed hereto but not otherwise defined therein, shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement.

(c)References to defined terms in the singular shall include the plural and references to defined terms in the plural shall include the singular.  “Extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase does not mean simply “if.” “Including” (and, with correlative meaning, “include”) means including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and the rule of ejusdem generis will not be applicable to limit a general statement preceded, followed by or referable to an enumeration of specific matters, to matters similar to those specifically mentioned.

(d)The descriptive headings of the several Articles and Sections of this Agreement, the Table of Contents to this Agreement, the Seller Schedule and the Purchaser Schedule are inserted for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  All references herein to “Articles,” “Sections,” “Exhibits” or “Schedules” shall be deemed to be references to Articles or Sections of this Agreement or Exhibits or Schedules hereto unless otherwise indicated.  The terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement.  Unless otherwise specified or where the context otherwise requires, (i) wherever used, the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or), (ii) references to a Person are also to its permitted

​

72

​

successors and assigns, (iii) references to a Law include any amendment or modification to such Law and any rules or regulations issued thereunder, in each case, as in effect at the relevant time of reference thereto, and (iv) references to monetary amounts are denominated in United States Dollars.  All accounting terms used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to them under US GAAP, unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement to “made available” means a document or other item of information that was provided to Purchaser and its representatives in the Data Room at least one hour prior to release of signature pages of Purchaser and Seller hereto.

(e)The Seller and Purchaser agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, drafting, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in a contract or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such contract or document.

Section 11.6Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of digital imaging and electronic mail or a facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

Section 11.7Entire Agreement.

(a)This Agreement, including the Exhibits, Schedules, Seller Schedule, and Purchaser Schedule and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement (including the Seller Schedule, Purchaser Schedule, and Exhibits), on the one hand, and the provisions of the Ancillary Agreements (including the schedules and exhibits thereto), on the other hand, the provisions of this Agreement shall control, except where the respective Ancillary Agreement specifically provides that any specified language therein supersedes any specified language in this Agreement.

(b)The Parties agree to define their rights, liabilities and obligations with respect to such understanding and the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement, and the Parties expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 11.8Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.  Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

​

73

​

Section 11.9Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of Law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive Law of another jurisdiction.

Section 11.10Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.10.

Section 11.11Venue.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Seller and Purchaser, on behalf of themselves, their respective Subsidiaries and each of their respective controlled Affiliates hereby: (a) agrees that any Action, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise arising out of or relating to, this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York and any appellate court thereof and irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such Action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (b) agrees not to bring or support or permit any of its controlled Affiliates to bring or support any Action of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements in any forum other than the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, and (c) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in any such court.

Section 11.12Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.  Any waiver of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and must be duly executed by or on behalf of the Party to be charged with such waiver.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the failure of a Party to exercise any of its rights hereunder or to insist upon strict adherence to any term or condition hereof on any one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver or deprive that Party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to the terms and conditions of this Agreement at a later date.  Further, no waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other term of condition hereof (whether or not similar).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of Section 11.10 (Waiver of Jury Trial), Section 11.15 (Debt Financing Parties), Section 11.2 (No Third Party Beneficiaries) and this Section 11.12 solely as such Sections relate to the rights or obligations of the Lenders may not be amended, supplemented,

​

74

​

waived or otherwise modified in a manner that is materially adverse to a Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender.

Section 11.13Remedies; Specific Performance.

(a)The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, may occur in the event that any of the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions.  Subject to Section 11.13(b), the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof in any court of competent jurisdiction without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Seller or the Selling Affiliates nor Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement.  If any Party brings any Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by the other Party, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended for so long as the Party bringing such Action is actively seeking a court order for an injunction or injunctions or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(b)If a court rules that a Party breached its obligations under this Agreement in connection with its failure to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 2.6, but declines to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 2.6, on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, pursuant to a claim for specific performance brought against such Party pursuant to this Section 11.13, then, in addition to the right of the such Party to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, such Party shall have the right to be paid all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of such Party in connection with all actions to seek specific performance of the other Party’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement and all actions to collect such fee or expenses.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of a Party’s right to seek specific performance pursuant to this Section 11.13 reduce, restrict or otherwise limit such Party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.

(c)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Seller shall be entitled to specifically enforce Purchaser’s obligation to effect the Closing on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, but only if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived by the Party entitled to waive (other than those conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until

​

75

​
