Section 2.11    Consents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement does not effect an assignment of any Assumed Contract to the extent that such Assumed Contract is not assignable under the Bankruptcy Code without the consent of the other party or parties thereto, and the consent of such other party has not been given or received, as applicable. As to any Purchased Asset (including any Assumed Contract and Governmental Authorization), the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable prior to the Closing (and, prior to the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an order confirming a Chapter 11 plan or dismissing the Chapter 11 Case, and subject to the availability of funds for such purpose, use commercially reasonable efforts to continue seeking after the Closing, if consent is not obtained prior to the Closing), the consent of the other parties to transfer such Purchased Asset to the Purchaser or, if required, for novation thereof to the Purchaser or, alternatively, written confirmation from such parties reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser that such consent is not required. In no event, however, will the Seller be obligated to

 

20


pay any money to any Person or to offer or grant financial or other accommodations to any Person in connection with obtaining any consent, waiver, confirmation, novation or approval with respect to any such Assumed Contract. If any consent, waiver, confirmation, novation or approval is not obtained with respect to any such Purchased Asset prior to the Closing, then to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Seller and the Purchaser will cooperate to establish an agency type or other similar arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Seller and the Purchaser under which the Purchaser would obtain (including by means of subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement), to the extent practicable, all rights, and assume the corresponding Assumed Liabilities thereunder for the period of time that the Purchaser shall receive such rights, or under which the Seller would enforce, for the benefit of the Purchaser, with the Purchaser assuming and agreeing to pay the Seller’s Liabilities and expenses (other than Excluded Liabilities) for the period of time that the Purchaser shall receive such benefits, any and all rights of the Seller against a Third Party to any such Purchased Asset. In such event: (a) the Seller will promptly pay to the Purchaser when received all moneys relating to the period on or after the Closing Date received by it under any Purchased Asset not transferred pursuant to this Section 2.11; and (b) for the period of time set forth in clause (a) the Purchaser will promptly pay, perform or discharge when due any Assumed Liabilities arising thereunder after the Closing Date but not transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.11. The failure by the Purchaser or the Seller to obtain any required consent, waiver, confirmation, novation or approval with respect to any Assumed Contract will not relieve any party from its obligation to consummate at the Closing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser acknowledges that no adjustment to the Purchase Price will be made for any such Assumed Contracts that are not assigned and that the Purchaser will have no claim against the Seller after the Closing in respect of any such unassigned Contracts.

Section 2.12    Withholding. The Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable to the Seller pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Law.

To the extent that the Seller does not request an extension of the deadline to file the Responsive Brief prior to April 25, 2018 but nonetheless obtains an extension of the deadline to file the Responsive Brief, Seller’s failure to request the extension prior to April 25, 2018 will not be considered a material breach of this Agreement. To the extent that the Seller does not obtain an extension of the deadline to file the Responsive Brief to a date no earlier than September 1, 2018,

 

34


the Seller will instruct its outside counsel in the Appeal to draft a responsive brief (and file the responsive brief if the deadline is prior to the Closing), and will provide the Purchaser reasonable time to review and provide recommendations on the Responsive Brief..

Section 5.3    Employee Matters.

(a)    On or before the Closing, the Purchaser will extend a written offer of at will employment to the employees listed in a schedule to be provided to the Seller on or prior to May 31, 2018, and who are not on long-term disability or other long-term (in excess of six (6) months) leave of absence as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Employees”) (which schedule will be updated by the Seller prior to the Closing Date by deleting those individuals no longer employed in connection with the Business). Effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser will hire each Employee who timely accepts an offer of employment extended by the Purchaser (such Employees, the “Transferred Employees”). To the extent that length of service is relevant for purposes of eligibility, vesting or calculation of severance or vacation benefits under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for the benefit of Transferred Employees, such plan, program or arrangement will credit such employees or former employees for service on or prior to the Closing with the applicable Seller Company.

(b)    To the extent that any medical, dental, hospitalization or life insurance benefits are provided to Transferred Employees and their dependents through one or more of the Employee Plans listed on Schedule 3.15(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Welfare Plans”), the Purchaser agrees to designate or establish, effective as of the Closing, one or more benefit plans, programs or arrangements for the purpose of providing medical, dental, hospitalization or life insurance benefits, as applicable, to Transferred Employees and their dependents. The Purchaser will (i) cause such benefit plans, programs or arrangements to: waive any preexisting condition limitations for conditions covered under a comparable Welfare Plan in which the Transferred Employees participate immediately prior to the Closing and any applicable waiting periods to the extent such waiting periods were waived under a comparable Welfare Plan in which the Transferred Employees participate immediately prior to the Closing; and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to credit Transferred Employees with any deductible and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such employees and their dependents under the Welfare Plans during the portion of 2018 preceding the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any similar plan, program or arrangement in which Transferred Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing Date.

(c)    Without limiting the generality of Section 10.5, nothing in this Section 5.3, express or implied, (i) is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, including any current or former Service Provider, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, (ii) shall establish or constitute an amendment, termination or modification of, or an undertaking to establish, amend, terminate or modify, any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (iii) shall alter or limit the ability of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them.

 

35


(d)    Three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a revised version of the Employee Information Document updated as of the most recent date practicable.

(e)    Solely to the extent not resulting in or requiring any out-of-pocket expenses or costs of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, the Purchaser will offer and provide continuation coverage for all “M&A Qualified Beneficiaries” as that term is defined in section 54.4980B-9 of the COBRA regulations, including coverage for employees or former employees of the Seller who are not Transferred Employees and their respective spouses and dependents, and for former employees of the Seller or their dependents whose COBRA qualifying events occurred prior to the Closing Date and whose COBRA coverage is in effect as of the Closing Date, or whose election period for choosing such COBRA coverage has not ended as of the Closing Date.

(f)    For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall affect any obligations of the Seller arising under any KEIP/KERP orders entered into by the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Case.

Section 5.4    Consents and Filings; Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts: (i) to take promptly, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, to obtain all Governmental Authorizations from, and make all filings with, all Governmental Authorities, and to obtain all other consents, waivers, approvals and other authorizations from, all other Third Parties, that are necessary or advisable in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to or at the Closing, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser executed versions of any and all instruments reasonably requested by the Purchaser in connection with the transfer of any Governmental Authorization relating to any Purchased Asset in accordance with 21 C.F.R. §314.72 and similar instruments as required by applicable Law in the United States or any other country where the Seller is the owner of or has submitted a request for a Governmental Authorization relating to a Purchased Asset, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser.

(b)    The Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, will promptly notify the other of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and will permit the other party to review in advance any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Authority. Neither the Seller, on the one hand, nor the Purchaser, on the other hand, will agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such

 

36


meeting. The Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. The Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, will provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their representatives, 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.

(c)    The Seller will promptly notify the Purchaser of any written communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Person (other than a Governmental Authority) alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.5    Supplements to Disclosure Schedules. The Seller may, from time to time prior to the Closing by written notice to the Purchaser, supplement the Seller Disclosure Schedule or add a schedule to the Seller Disclosure Schedule (such added schedule to be deemed a supplement hereunder) in order to disclose any matter which, if occurring prior to the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Seller Disclosure Schedule or to correct any inaccuracy or breach in the representations and warranties made by the Seller in this Agreement. Subject to this Section 5.5, none of such supplements to the Seller Disclosure Schedule will be deemed to cure the representations and warranties to which such matters relate with respect to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(a) or otherwise affect any other term or condition contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that, unless the Purchaser delivers a notice of termination with respect to such matter as contemplated by Section 7.1(a)(ii) (to the extent the Purchaser is entitled to deliver such notice pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii)) within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by the Purchaser of any supplement to the Seller Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 5.5, the Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any and all rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii) or otherwise arising out of or relating to the contents of such supplement and the resulting breach or breaches of the representations and warranties and the Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the contents of such supplement for all purposes of this Agreement; and provided, further, that from and after the Closing, the Seller will have no Liability for any inaccuracy or breach in the representations and warranties made by the Seller in this Agreement for any matters disclosed on the Seller Disclosure Schedule, as supplemented or amended by the Seller prior to the Closing.

Section 5.6    Confidentiality.

(a)    Effective upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement dated as of January 31, 2018 between the Seller and Pernix Therapeutics, LLC shall terminate.

(b)    Following the Closing, the Seller will, and will instruct its directors, officers, employees and advisors to, hold in confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, all Confidential Information, except to the extent that such Confidential Information: (a) must be disclosed in connection with the obligations of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement; (b) can be shown to have been in the public

 

37


domain through no fault of the Seller, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective representatives; (c) becomes a matter of public record as required by the Chapter 11 Case and filings made with the Bankruptcy Court with respect thereto; or (d) was later lawfully acquired by the Seller from sources other than those related to its prior ownership of the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will this Section 5.6 limit or otherwise restrict the right of the Seller to disclose such Confidential Information: (i) to its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors to the extent reasonably required to facilitate any delivery or performance of this Agreement; (ii) to any Governmental Authority or arbitrator to the extent reasonably required in connection with any Proceeding relating to the enforcement of this Agreement; or (iii) as otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 5.7    Public Announcements. Prior to the Closing, neither the Purchaser, on the one hand, nor the Seller, on the other hand, will issue any press release or make any other public announcement relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written approval of the other party (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required by applicable Law or by any listing agreement with any national securities exchange. Prior to issuing any such press release or making any such other public announcement as required by applicable Law or listing agreement with any national securities exchange and without the other party’s prior written approval, the disclosing party will give the other party a copy of the proposed press release or other public announcement and reasonable opportunity to comment on the same.

Section 5.8    Further Actions. Subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement, upon the request of either the Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Seller, on the other hand, the other party will execute and deliver such other documents, instruments and agreements as the requesting party may reasonably require for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.9    Bulk Transfer Laws. The Seller shall ensure that the Sale Order shall provide either that (a) the Seller has complied with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer Laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (b) compliance with such Laws described in clause (a) is not necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.

Section 5.10    Bankruptcy Court Matters.

(a)    The Purchaser and the Seller will use their respective good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Sale Order to become a Final Order as soon as practicable after its entry.

(b)    The Seller shall:

(i)    cause the Bankruptcy Court to hold the Sale Hearing and enter the Sale Order by 11:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern time on or before June 28, 2018; and

 

38


(ii)    consummate the Closing as promptly as practicable after entry of the Sale Order, but in no event later than 11:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern time on or before July 13, 2018 (the “Outside Date”).

(c)    The Seller will provide the Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon all motions, applications, petitions, schedules and supporting papers relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prepared by the Seller (including forms of Orders and notices to interested parties) prior to the filing thereof in the Chapter 11 Case. All motions, applications, petitions, schedules and supporting papers prepared by the Seller and relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be filed on behalf of the Seller after the date hereof must be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchaser. The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain entry of the Sale Order. From and after the date hereof, the Seller shall not take any action that is intended to result in, or fail to take any action the intent of which failure to act would result in, the reversal, voiding, modification or staying of the Sale Order.

(d)    The Seller will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Purchaser to assist in obtaining entry of the Sale Order, including furnishing affidavits or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court for purposes, among others, of providing necessary assurances of performance by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement and all other agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents to be entered into or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and demonstrating that the Purchaser is a good faith buyer under section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(e)    If an appeal is taken, or petition for certiorari or motion for rehearing or re-argument filed, or a stay pending appeal is requested from either the Bidding Procedures Order or the Sale Order, the Seller will promptly notify the Purchaser of such appeal, petition, motion or stay request and the Seller, with input from the Purchaser, will take all reasonable steps to defend against such appeal, petition, motion or stay request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement precludes the parties from consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if the Sale Order has been entered and has not been stayed and the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, waives in writing the condition set forth in Section 6.1(d) that the Sale Order be a Final Order.

(f)    The Seller and the Purchaser shall comply with all of their respective obligations under the Bidding Procedures Order and Sale Order (after the entry of such order by the Bankruptcy Court).

(g)    The Seller shall comply (or obtain an order waiving compliance) with all requirements under the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules in connection with obtaining approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller shall serve on all required Persons, including: (i) all Persons who are known to possess or assert a Claim or Lien against or interest in the Purchased Assets; (ii) all applicable Governmental Authorities; (iii) all other Persons required by any order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules; and (iv) using commercially reasonable efforts to serve any other Persons that

 

39


the Purchaser reasonably may request, any notice of the motions, hearings, or orders necessary to comply with its obligations under this Section 5.10 and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(h)    At any time prior to the Closing, subject to the consent of the Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Purchaser may elect for the transfer and sale of the Purchased Subsidiaries’ assets to the Purchaser, together with amendments to this Agreement to reflect such transfer and sale (including the addition of the Purchased Subsidiaries as parties hereunder), in lieu of the Purchaser acquiring the Orexigen Ireland Shares from the Seller hereunder (the “Asset Option”); provided that it shall be deemed unreasonable for the Seller to withhold, condition or delay such consent unless the exercise of the Asset Option would result in (i) any non-de minimis economic impact to the Seller as a result of the Purchaser exercising the Asset Option compared to the Purchaser not exercising the Asset Option, or (ii) a delay to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement beyond ten (10) Business Days. Nothing contained in this Section 5.10(h) shall be deemed to require the Seller or Orexigen Ireland to take any action in violation of that certain letter, dated March 12, 2018, from the Seller to Orexigen Ireland, relating to the DIP Loan Agreement and the sale of assets of Orexigen Ireland, or the DIP Loan Agreement, including the requirement that the Seller obtain the prior written consent of the Required DIP Lenders prior to selling any of Orexigen Ireland’s assets outside the ordinary course of business.

Section 5.11    Bankruptcy Court Approval; Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement.

(a)    The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge that, under the Bankruptcy Code, the sale of Purchased Assets is subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge that to obtain such approval, the Seller must demonstrate that it has taken reasonable steps to obtain the highest or best value possible for the Purchased Assets, including giving notice of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to creditors and other interested parties as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, providing information about the Purchased Assets to prospective bidders, entertaining higher or better offers from qualified bidders and, if necessary, conducting an Auction and selling the Purchased Assets to another qualified bidder.

(b)    As consideration for substantial expenditures of time, effort and expense undertaken and continuing by the Purchaser (solely in its capacity as such) in connection with the completion of its due diligence review of the Business and the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement, the Seller acknowledges and agrees that: (i) subject to the entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, the Purchaser will be the stalking horse bidder at the Auction; (ii) the Seller will not participate in any negotiations for the purpose of naming any Person other than the Purchaser as the stalking horse bidder in the Auction, and subject to the entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, no Person other than the Purchaser will be the stalking horse bidder at the Auction; and (iii) the Seller will actively oppose any effort by any other Person to be the stalking horse bidder; provided, however, that consistent with its fiduciary duties to elicit the highest and best offer for the Purchased Assets and to conduct the Auction, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller and its representatives and Affiliates may, following the entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, solicit, encourage and negotiate higher or better offers for the Purchased Assets under the terms of the Bidding Procedures Order.

 

40


(c)    The Seller’s obligation to pay the Break-Up Fee and the Expense Reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall constitute an administrative expense of the Seller under section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 5.12    Assumption & Rejection of Executory Contracts.

(a)    Schedule 3.8 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all Contracts to which the Seller is a party. Schedule 5.12(a)(ii) (the “Contract & Cure Schedule”) sets forth a list of all Executory Contracts that the Purchaser has advised the Seller it wants the Seller to assume and assign to the Purchaser under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and in accordance with Section 5.12(b) below, which the Purchaser will provide to the Seller not later than May 31, 2018. The Cure Amounts in respect of each Executory Contract are also set forth in the Contract and Cure Schedule. From the date of this Agreement until the conclusion of the Auction, or if the Purchaser is designated as the Successful Bidder at the Auction, at any time prior to the Closing, the Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, may amend the Contract & Cure Schedule to add or remove any Executory Contract in accordance with the conditions concerning notice and service to contract counterparties set forth in the Bidding Procedures and Bidding Procedures Order. Unless the Bankruptcy Court orders otherwise, each Executory Contract included on the Contract & Cure Schedule will be deemed to have been assigned to the Purchaser and become an Assumed Contract on the date (the “Assumption Effective Date”) that is the later of: (i) the Closing Date, or (ii) contemporaneously with the resolution of any objections to the assumption and assignment of such Executory Contract or to a proposed Cure Amount.

(b)    Subject to Section 5.19, each Executory Contract that is listed on Schedule 3.8 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule but not the Contract & Cure Schedule will be rejected by the Seller, subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Each Executory Contract that is listed on Schedule 3.8 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule but not the Contract & Cure Schedule will be deemed to be an Excluded Contract under this Agreement.

(c)    The Seller and the Purchaser will comply with the procedures set forth in the Assumption Procedures and the Bidding Procedures Order with respect to the assumption and assignment or rejection of any Executory Contract pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 5.12.

(d)    No designation of any Executory Contract for assumption and assignment or rejection in accordance with this Section 5.12, the Bidding Procedures, the Bidding Procedures Order or the Sale Order will give rise to any right to any adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(e)    If prior to the Closing, it is discovered that a Contract should have been listed on Schedule 3.8 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule but was not so listed (any such Contract, a “Previously Omitted Contract”), the Seller shall, promptly following the discovery thereof (but

 

41


in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the discovery thereof), notify the Purchaser in writing of such Previously Omitted Contract and provide the Purchaser with a copy of such Previously Omitted Contract and the Cure Amount (if any) in respect thereof. The Purchaser shall thereafter deliver written notice to the Seller, no later than five (5) Business Days following such notice of such Previously Omitted Contract from the Seller, if the Purchaser elects to so include such Previously Omitted Contract on the Contract & Cure Schedule.

(f)    If the Purchaser includes a Previously Omitted Contract on the Contract & Cure Schedule in accordance with Section 5.12(f), the Seller shall file and serve a notice on the contract counterparties to such Previously Omitted Contract notifying such counterparties of the Seller’s intention to assume and assign to the Purchaser such Previously Omitted Contract, including the proposed Cure Amount (if any). Such notice shall provide such contract counterparties with ten (10) Business Days to object, in writing, to the Seller and the Purchaser to the assumption of its Contract. If such counterparties, the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to reach a consensual resolution with respect to the objection, the Seller will seek an expedited hearing before the Bankruptcy Court to seek approval of the assumption and assignment of such Previously Omitted Contract. If no objection is timely served on the Seller and the Purchaser, then such Previously Omitted Contract shall be deemed assumed by the Seller and assigned to the Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Order. The Seller and the Purchaser shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other instruments and take commercially reasonable efforts as are reasonably practicable for the Purchaser to assume the rights and obligations under such Previously Omitted Contract.

Section 5.13    Back-Up Bidder. If an Auction is conducted, and the Seller does not choose the Purchaser as the Successful Bidder, but instead chooses the Purchaser as the bidder as having submitted the next highest or otherwise best bid at the conclusion of such Auction (the “Back-Up Bidder”), the Purchaser shall be the Back-Up Bidder. If the Purchaser is chosen as the Back-Up Bidder, the Purchaser shall be required to keep its bid to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (as the same may be improved upon by the Purchaser prior to or at the Auction) open and irrevocable until the earlier of: (i) the date of closing on the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Successful Bidder; and (ii) twenty-five (25) Business Days following the date the order approving the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Successful Bidder shall have become a Final Order (such date, the “Back-Up Period”); provided, however, that if the Successful Bidder shall fail to close on its purchase of the Purchased Assets within the period set forth above, the Back-Up Bidder shall be deemed to be the Successful Bidder and the Seller will be authorized, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, to, and the Back-Up Bidder shall, consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of becoming the Successful Bidder on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (as the same may be improved upon by the Purchaser prior to or at the Auction).

Section 5.14    Post-Auction Supplement. Following the conclusion of the Auction, the Seller will promptly file with the Bankruptcy Court a supplement (the “Supplement”) that will inform the Bankruptcy Court of the results of the Auction. The Supplement will identify, among other things: (a) the Successful Bidder as the proposed purchaser of the Purchased Assets; (b) the

 

42


amount and form of consideration to be paid by the Successful Bidder for the Purchased Assets; (c) the Assumed Liabilities to be assumed by the Successful Bidder; (d) the Executory Contracts to be assumed by the Seller and assigned to the Successful Bidder, or the Seller’s rights and interests therein to be sold and transferred to the Successful Bidder, as the case may be; and (e) the Executory Contracts designated to be rejected by the Seller. The Supplement will also include similar information relating to the Back-Up Bidder and its bid. In addition, the Seller will attach to the Supplement: (i) the proposed or revised proposed Sale Order, with any revisions necessary to reflect the results of the Auction, approving the Sale to the Successful Bidder; (ii) a copy of this Agreement, with any amendments necessary to reflect the results of the Auction; and (iii) any additional information or documentation relevant to the Successful Bidder. The Seller will file the Supplement on the docket for the Chapter 11 Case as promptly as is reasonably practicable prior to the Sale Hearing, but will not be required to serve the same on any parties-in-interest in the Chapter 11 Case.

Section 5.15    Payments Received. The Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, each agree that, after the Closing, each will hold and will promptly transfer and deliver to the other, from time to time as and when received by them, any cash, checks with appropriate endorsements (using commercially reasonable efforts not to convert such checks into cash) or other property that they may receive on or after the Closing which belongs to the other and will account to the other for all such receipts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller (prior to the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an order confirming a Chapter 11 plan or dismissing the Chapter 11 Case, and at the sole cost of the Purchaser) agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser, at the sole cost of the Purchaser, to inform parties owing payments to the Business after the Closing that constitute Purchased Assets (the “Business Payments”) of the accounts of the Purchaser that should receive such Business Payments following the Closing and otherwise reasonably assist the Purchaser to ensure that such Business Payments are made to such accounts. The Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, hereto hereby agrees that any payments mistakenly received by it or its respective Affiliates shall be promptly transferred and delivered back to the other party or its Affiliate, as applicable.

Section 5.16    Cessation of Use of Acquired Intellectual Property. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) the Seller acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall not have any right, title or interest in or to any Acquired Intellectual Property (including any Seller Names and Marks) and (b) from and after the Closing, the Seller shall cease and discontinue any and all use or other exploitation of any and all Acquired Intellectual Property (including all Seller Names and Marks).

Section 5.17    Transfer of Permits and Governmental Authorizations. From and after the date hereof, the Seller, on the one hand (subject to the availability of funds for such purpose), and the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate to transfer to Purchaser as of the Closing (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) all Governmental Authorizations included in the Purchased Assets necessary for the import, manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale by the Purchaser of the

 

43


products of the Business under applicable Law; provided that (a) any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs associated with such cooperation by the Seller after the Closing (including the pro rata portion of the costs of any employee directly providing such cooperation after the Closing, as determined by the amount of time dedicated by such employee to such cooperation as a proportion of all time dedicated by such employee to the Seller) shall be borne by the Purchaser and (b) nothing in this Section shall be deemed to require the Seller to remain a debtor in the Chapter 11 Case or maintain its corporate existence for any period of time beyond 30 days after the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to require the Seller to take any action in violation of the DIP Loan Agreement.

Section 5.18    Intercompany Accounts. Any intercompany Contract and account between the Seller, on the one hand, and Orexigen Ireland or any Subsidiary thereof, on the other hand, as of the Closing, may at the Purchaser’s election be either: (a) terminated and settled in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser (irrespective of the terms of payment of such intercompany accounts) prior to the Closing without any remaining Liability or obligation to the Purchaser or Orexigen Ireland or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the Closing, except for any such Contracts set forth on Schedule 5.18, which shall be provided to the Seller not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, including, if the Purchaser so elects in good faith, the Seller cooperating with the Purchaser to take any action in connection with any such account reasonably requested by the Purchaser for the purpose of reducing or eliminating any Liability to a Purchased Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates relating to the termination or settlement of such account; or (b) reinstated; provided, however, that (i) any additional out-of-pocket costs of the Seller incurred in connection with the Seller taking any such actions as compared to the Seller terminating such intercompany accounts payable to the Seller for no consideration shall be at the sole cost of the Purchaser and (ii) nothing in this Section shall be deemed to require the Seller to remain a debtor in the Chapter 11 Case or maintain its corporate existence for any period of time beyond 30 days after the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to require the Seller to take any action in violation of the DIP Loan Agreement.

Section 5.19    Excluded Contracts. From and after the Closing, the Purchaser may, at its sole discretion and at its sole expense, request for the Seller to maintain in effect any Excluded Contract for up to three (3) months after the Closing for the purposes of passing through the benefits of such Excluded Contract to the Purchaser, and (i) the Seller shall consider in good faith any such request and use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in effect such Excluded Contract and not reject such Excluded Contract, (ii) the Purchaser and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on arrangements for the purposes of passing through the benefits of such Excluded Contract to the Purchaser, and (iii) any such arrangements described in the foregoing shall be at the sole expense of the Purchaser (including all statutory and other costs required to be paid or otherwise incurred in the Chapter 11 Case, counsels’ fees and expenses, to the extent such costs would not have been incurred but for this Section 5.19, and the pro rata portion of the costs of any employee directly involved in such arrangements after the Closing, as determined by the amount of time dedicated by such employee to such arrangements as a proportion of all time dedicated by such employee to the Seller); provided, however, nothing in this Section shall be deemed to require the Seller to remain a debtor in the

 

44


Chapter 11 Case or maintain its corporate existence for any period of time beyond 30 days after the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to require the Seller to take any action in violation of the DIP Loan Agreement.

Section 5.20    Annual Report. The Seller shall (i) cause Orexigen Ireland to file Orexigen Ireland’s 2016 Annual Report with the Companies Registration Office in Ireland as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof and in any case no later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (ii) provide the Purchaser with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser of such filing set forth in clause (i), and (iii) promptly notify the Purchaser of any correspondence received by any Seller Company from the Companies Registration Office in Ireland.

TERMINATION

Section 7.1    Termination Events.

(a)    This Agreement may, by written notice given before the Closing, be terminated:

(i)    by mutual consent of the Purchaser and the Seller;

 

46


(ii)    by the Purchaser (so long as the Purchaser is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement), if there has been a breach of any of the Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement which would result in the failure of the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b), as applicable, to be satisfied, and which breach has not been cured within ten (10) days after written notice of such breach has been delivered to the Seller from the Purchaser or cannot be cured by the Outside Date;

(iii)    by the Seller (so long as the Seller is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement), if there has been a breach of any of the Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement which would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b), as applicable, to be satisfied, and which breach has not been cured within ten (10) days after written notice of such breach has been delivered to the Purchaser from the Seller or cannot be cured by the Outside Date;

(iv)    by either the Purchaser or the Seller, if there is in effect a nonappealable final Order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(a)(iv) will not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any covenant or obligation under this Agreement is the cause of or resulted in the action or event described in this Section 7.1(a)(iv) occurring; or

(v)    by the Purchaser if (a) the Chapter 11 Case is dismissed or converted into a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or (b) an examiner with expanded powers or trustee is appointed in the Chapter 11 Case.

(b)    This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event that (i) an Alternative Transaction has been consummated following approval by the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) the Purchaser is not chosen at the Auction to be the Successful Bidder or the Back-Up Bidder or (iii) the Purchaser is chosen at the Auction to be the Back-Up Bidder, upon the expiration of the Back-Up Period.

Section 7.2    Effect of Termination.

(a)    If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement automatically end without Liability against any other party or its Affiliates, except that Section 5.7 (Public Announcements), Section 5.13 (Back-Up Bidder), Section 7.3 (Termination Payment), Article 10 (General Provisions) (except for Section 10.11 (Specific Performance)) and this Section 7.2 shall remain in full force and survive any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 7.3, in the event this Agreement is terminated by a party because of the knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement by the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party’s knowing and intentional failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party’s right to pursue all legal rights and remedies hereunder and under applicable Law will survive such termination unimpaired.

 

47


Section 7.3    Termination Payment. Subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court, in consideration of the substantial commitment of time and resources by the Purchaser to the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, in the event that this Agreement is terminated or if the transactions hereby are not consummated for any reason except (x) a termination by the Purchaser and the Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i) or (y) by the Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iii), subject to the Purchaser having complied with its obligations as Back-Up Bidder under Section 5.13 (if applicable), the Seller shall promptly (but no event later than two (2) Business Days following such termination) pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to a breakup fee equal to $3,500,000 (the “Break-Up Fee”) and all reasonable and documented costs and out of pocket expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement up to $2,000,000 (the “Expense Reimbursement”). Subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court in the Bidding Procedures Order, the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement shall have first priority administrative expense claim status without the need for any further application or motion of the Seller or the Purchaser, or the entry of any further order of the Bankruptcy Court. The parties agree that the amount of actual damages which the Purchaser would suffer as a result of a termination of this Agreement as contemplated by this Section 7.3 would be extremely difficult to determine and have agreed that the amount of the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement is a reasonable estimate of the Purchaser’s damages and is intended to constitute a fixed amount of liquidated damages in lieu of other remedies available to the Purchaser and is not intended to constitute a penalty.

ARTICLE 8

NO SURVIVAL

Section 8.1    No Survival of Representations and Warranties and Certain Covenants. Each of the representations, warranties and covenants (other than covenants that, by their terms, survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement) in this Agreement or any agreement or certificate to be executed or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing or upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 and, following the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, as the case may be, no party shall make any claim whatsoever for any breach of any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, subject to Section 7.2.

ARTICLE 9

TAX MATTERS

Section 9.1    Transfer Taxes. Any sales, use, ad valorem, property, transfer, conveyance, documentary, recording, notarial, value added, excise, registration, stamp, gross receipts and similar Taxes and fees (“Transfer Taxes”), arising out of or in connection with or attributable to the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, including expenses and fees relating to registering Acquired Intellectual Property in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, regardless of whether such Transfer Taxes, expenses and fees are imposed by Law on the Purchaser, the Purchased Assets or the Seller, shall be borne 50% by the Seller and 50% by the

 

48


Purchaser. The amount of Transfer Taxes shall be estimated as of the Closing Date and if any Transfer Taxes are due, the party hereto not responsible for paying to the applicable Tax authorities such Transfer Taxes shall pay their share (as determined under the first sentence of this Section 9.1) to the other party hereto at the Closing, who shall in turn provide to the other party hereto evidence of timely payment of such Transfer Taxes; provided, however that final payments with respect to the Transfer Taxes that are not able to be calculated as of the Closing Date shall be calculated promptly after the Closing, and the party hereto not responsible for paying to the applicable Tax authorities such additional Transfer Taxes shall, as soon as practicable after such calculation has been determined, pay their share (as determined under the first sentence of this Section 9.1) to the other party hereto, who shall in turn provide to the other party hereto evidence of timely payment of such additional Transfer Taxes. Any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with any Transfer Taxes will be prepared by the party that customarily has primary responsibility for filing such Tax Returns pursuant to the applicable Law under and according to which the respective Tax Returns are due to be filed; provided, however, that the preparing party will deliver such Tax Returns for the other party’s review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable due date. The parties will cooperate with each other in the provision of any information or preparation of any documentation that may be necessary or useful for obtaining any available mitigation, reduction or exemption from any such Transfer Taxes.

Section 9.2    Proration items. Personal property Taxes, real property Taxes and other similar Taxes (the “Proration Items”) with respect to the Purchased Assets for any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date shall be prorated on a per diem basis between the Purchaser and the Seller as of the Closing Date. The amount of the Proration Items attributable to the Seller shall be equal to the amount of Tax for the period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the beginning of the period through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which shall be the entire number of days in the period. For purposes of allocating all other Taxes (including income Taxes of the Purchased Subsidiaries) (“Non-Proration Items”) with respect to the Purchased Assets for any Straddle Period, such Taxes shall be allocated between the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period and the post-Closing portion of such Straddle Period based on an interim closing of the books at the end of the day on the Closing Date. The Seller shall bear any Non-Proration Items allocable to the pre- Closing portion of any Straddle Period and any other unpaid Taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets for Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (such Non-Proration Items and other pre-Closing Date Taxes, “Other Seller Taxes”). The amount of all such Proration Items attributable to the Seller and the amount of any Other Seller Taxes shall be estimated as of the Closing Date and deducted from the Purchase Price at the Closing; provided, however that final payments with respect to the Proration Items or Other Seller Taxes that are not able to be calculated as of the Closing Date shall be calculated and the Seller (or any successor thereof or any estate) shall pay over any additional amount as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but no later than five (5) Business Days after determination of such additional amounts.

 

49


Section 9.3    Tax Sharing Agreements. Any tax allocation or sharing agreement or arrangement, whether or not written, that may have been entered into by the Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Purchased Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall be terminated as to the Purchased Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, and no payments which are owed by the Purchased Subsidiaries pursuant thereto shall be made thereunder. After the Closing Date, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, or the Purchased Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder with respect to the other party or parties.

Section 9.4    338(g) Election. The Purchaser shall be permitted, at its sole discretion, to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state or local Law) with respect to the purchase of the stock of any Purchased Subsidiary that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 10.2    Amendment. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in a written document signed by each party hereto and that identifies itself as an amendment to this Agreement.

Section 10.3    Waiver and Remedies. The parties may, but are not required to: (a) extend the time for performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party to this Agreement; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party to this Agreement contained in this Agreement; or (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants or conditions for the benefit of such party contained in this Agreement. Subject to Section 5.5, (i) Any such extension or waiver by a party to this Agreement will be valid only if set forth in a written document signed on behalf of the party against whom the extension or waiver is to be effective; (ii) no extension or waiver will apply to any time for performance, inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, or noncompliance with any covenant or condition, as the case may be, other than that which is specified in the written extension or waiver; and (iii) no failure or delay by a party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement or any of the documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties, operates as a waiver of such right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy precludes any other or further exercise of such right or remedy or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any deadline set forth in this Agreement that does not fall on a Business Day shall automatically be extended to the next Business Day.

 

51


Section 10.4    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement that are to be delivered at the Closing) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, or either of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 10.5    Assignment, Successors and No Third Party Rights. This Agreement binds and benefits the parties and their respective successors (including any trustee, receiver, receiver-manager, interim receiver or monitor or similar officer appointed in any respect of the Seller under chapter 11 or chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and any entity appointed as a successor to the Seller pursuant to a confirmed chapter 11 plan). No party may delegate any performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except that the Purchaser may at any time delegate the performance of its obligations to any Affiliate of the Purchaser so long as the Purchaser remains fully responsible for the performance of the delegated obligation. The Purchaser may designate one or more Affiliates, including any special purpose entities that may be organized by the Purchaser for such purpose, to take title to the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof and operate the business going forward, and upon written notice to the Seller of any such designation by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees to execute and deliver all instruments of transfer with respect to the Purchased Assets directly to, and in the name of, the Purchaser’s designees. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as may inure to a successor or permitted assignee under this Section 10.5.

Section 10.6    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or set of circumstances, shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 10.7    Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement. The Seller Disclosure Schedule is arranged in sections and paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and paragraphs of Article 3. The disclosure in any section or paragraph of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, and those in any amendment or supplement thereto, shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only the particular representation or warranty set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered section or paragraph of Article 3, except to the extent that: (a) such information is cross-referenced in another part of the Seller Disclosure Schedule; or (b) it is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure (without reference to any document referred to therein or any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed) that such information qualifies another representation or warranty of the Seller in Article 3.

 

52


Section 10.8    Interpretation. In the negotiation of this Agreement, each party has received advice from its own attorney. The language used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no provision of this Agreement will be interpreted for or against either party because that party or its attorney drafted the provision.

Section 10.9    Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each party will pay its own direct and indirect expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all fees and expenses of its advisors and representatives.

Section 10.10    Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will any party or any of its Affiliates be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits, loss of revenue or lost sales) in connection with any claims, losses, damages or injuries arising out of the conduct of such party pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of whether the nonperforming party was advised of the possibility of such damages or not.

Section 10.11    Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by either party in accordance with such party’s specific terms or were otherwise breached by such party. The parties accordingly agree that, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, in addition to any other remedy to which a non-breaching party is entitled at law or in equity, the non-breaching party is entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the breaching party and otherwise to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement against the breaching party; provided that, the non-breaching party shall only be entitled to injunctive relief if such non-breaching party is not otherwise in breach of this Agreement or if the breaching party is not otherwise entitled to terminate this Agreement. Each party expressly waives any requirement that the other party obtains any bond or provides any indemnity in connection with any action seeking injunctive relief or specific enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.12    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT, DISPUTE OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT (FOR SO LONG AS THE BANKRUPTCY COURT HAS JURISDICTION) AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS AND SUBMITS ITSELF TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTIONS AS TO VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO

 

53


IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING CONSENT TO JURISDICTION, FOLLOWING THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE CHAPTER 11 CASE AND SO LONG AS THE BANKRUPTCY COURT HAS JURISDICTION, EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES THAT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.

Section 10.13    No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement creates a joint venture or partnership between the parties. This Agreement does not authorize any party hereto (a) to bind or commit, or to act as an agent, employee or legal representative of, any other party, except as may be specifically set forth in other provisions of this Agreement, or (b) to have the power to control the activities and operations of any other party. Each party agrees not to hold itself out as having any authority or relationship contrary to this Section 10.13.

Section 10.14    Counterparts; Signatures. The parties may execute this Agreement in multiple counterparts, each of which constitutes an original as against the party that signed it, and all of which together constitute one agreement. This Agreement is effective upon delivery of one executed counterpart from each party to the other party. The signatures of all parties need not appear on the same counterpart. The delivery of signed counterparts by facsimile or email transmission that includes a copy of the sending party’s signature(s) is as effective as signing and delivering the counterpart in person.

Section 10.15    Preservation of Records; Post-Closing Access and Cooperation.

(a)    For a period equal to the lesser of: (i) eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; and (ii) the closing of the Chapter 11 Case by the Bankruptcy Court (the “Post-Closing Access and Cooperation Period”), the Purchaser shall preserve and retain, all corporate, accounting, legal, auditing, human resources and other books and records in its possession that are Purchased Assets (including any documents relating to any governmental or non-governmental claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations) relating to the operation of Business and the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date.

(b)    During the Post-Closing Access and Cooperation Period, subject to existing confidentiality agreements and upon reasonable advance notice from the Seller (or its designee or successor), the Purchaser shall afford promptly to the Seller and its representatives (or its designee or successors, which may include the trustee of a liquidating trust) reasonable access during normal business hours to the offices, facilities, books, records, officers and employees of the Business as reasonably requested by the Seller for the purpose of winding-up its affairs and finalizing the administration of the Chapter 11 Case or in furtherance of the purposes set forth herein; provided, that such access does not unreasonably interfere with the Purchaser’s business operations. During the Post-Closing Access and Cooperation Period, the Purchaser shall permit former employees of the Seller to cooperate with the Seller (or, its designee or successors) after the Closing, in furnishing information, testimony and other

 

54


reasonable assistance with respect to the Business or Purchased Assets for periods prior to the Closing Date in connection with any action or proceeding relating to the Chapter 11 Case or in furtherance of the purposes set forth herein; provided, that such access does not unreasonably interfere with the Purchaser’s business operations.
