.
 
 
- 5 -
 
 
 
 
(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6, to the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, to Buyer of any Acquired Asset would result in a violation of applicable Law, or would require the consent, authorization, approval or waiver of a Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Entity), and such consent, authorization, approval or waiver shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, thereof; provided, however, that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in Article III, the Closing shall occur notwithstanding the foregoing without any adjustment to the Purchase Price on account thereof. Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required consent, authorization, approval or waiver, or any release, substitution or amendment required to novate all liabilities and obligations under any and all Assumed Contracts or other liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements, so that, in any case, Buyer shall be solely responsible for such liabilities and obligations from and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration therefor. Once such consent, authorization, approval, waiver, release, substitution or amendment is obtained, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer the relevant Acquired Asset to which such consent, authorization, approval, waiver, release, substitution or amendment relates for no additional consideration. Applicable sales, transfer and other similar Taxes in connection with such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or license shall be paid in accordance with Section 6.1.
 
(b)           To the extent that any Acquired Asset and/or Assumed Liability cannot be transferred to Buyer following the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.6, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such arrangements (such as subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to the parties the economic and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, operational equivalent of the transfer of such Acquired Asset and/or Assumed Liability to Buyer as of the Closing and the performance by Buyer of its obligations with respect thereto. Buyer shall, as agent or subcontractor for Seller, pay, perform and discharge fully the liabilities and obligations of Seller thereunder from and after the Closing Date. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, Seller shall, at Buyer's expense, hold in trust for and pay to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, such Acquired Asset and all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller to the extent related to such Acquired Asset in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.6. Seller shall be permitted to set off against such amounts all direct costs associated with the retention and maintenance of such Acquired Assets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.6 shall not apply to any consent or approval required under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law, which consent or approval shall be governed by Section 5.3.
 
2.7.           Purchase Price Allocation
 
(a)           The Purchase Price (and such other amounts as shall be treated as purchase price for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall be allocated among the assets and other rights acquired or obtained by Buyer in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement for all Tax purposes in accordance with their respective fair market values pursuant to an allocation schedule prepared by the Buyer and delivered to the Seller as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, but not more than 60 days following the Closing, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Allocation”). The Seller shall, within 10 Business Days after receipt of the Buyer’s determination of the Allocation, provide written notice to the Buyer as to the portions of the Allocation (if any) with which the Seller has a disagreement, as well as Seller’s proposed revisions to such portions (the “Seller Objection Notice”). If the Seller does not provide a Seller Objection Notice to the Buyer within such 10 Business Day period, the Allocation shall be final and binding on the Parties.
 
 
- 6 -
 
 
 
 
(b)           If the Seller does provide a Seller Objection Notice to the Buyer within such 10 Business Day period, then the portions of the Allocation that were not objected to by the Seller shall be considered final and binding on all Parties and the Parties shall make a good faith effort to resolve any disagreements regarding the portions of such Allocation that were objected to in the Seller Objection Notice, and if the Parties are unable to resolve their disagreements regarding such items within 30 days of delivery of such Seller Objection Notice, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to a nationally recognized third party accounting firm mutually selected by the Parties in good faith (the “Independent Expert”). The Parties shall instruct the Independent Expert to promptly review the portions of the Allocation which are in dispute among the Parties pursuant to this Section 2.7 and to resolve such dispute as promptly as is practicable. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and respond to any inquiries from the Independent Expert in connection with the Independent Expert’s review and analysis of the portions of the Allocation which are in dispute among the Parties. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after its retention, the Independent Expert shall deliver to the Buyer and the Seller a report that sets forth its resolution of the disputed items with respect to the Allocation, and such report of such items of the Allocation shall thereupon be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties; provided, however, that the Independent Expert may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, nor less than the smallest value for such item claimed by the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand. The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be allocated between the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the aggregate contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Independent Expert. The Parties agree to execute, if requested by the Independent Expert, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities in favor of the Independent Expert.
 
(c)           Except as may be required by otherwise by applicable law, each of the Parties will (i) file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) in a manner consistent with the Allocation (as finalized pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.7) and (ii) not take any action inconsistent therewith. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price subsequent to the initial delivery of the Allocation by the Buyer to the Seller shall be reflected in amendments to the Allocation in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1060-1.
 
2.8.           Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments required to be made by Buyer in connection with this Agreement such amounts (if any) as it is required to deduct and withhold pursuant to the Code or any applicable provision of any state, local or non U.S. Tax laws, and any amount so deducted and withheld shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity as required by applicable laws, rules or regulations, and upon the same, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid by the Buyer to the party to whom such payments were required to be made in connection with this Agreement.

Representations and Warranties of Seller
 
Except as set forth in the corresponding sections or subsections of the Disclosure Letter delivered to Buyer by Seller contemporaneously with this Agreement (the “Seller Disclosure Letter”) (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Letter will be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Letter only to the extent that the relevance of such item to such section or subsection is readily apparent on its face), Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:
 
4.1.           Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on the Business as presently conducted. Seller is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other legal entity in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of the Business requires such qualification, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller has delivered to Buyer complete and correct copies of Seller’s certificates of incorporation and bylaws or comparable governing documents, each as amended to the date of this Agreement, and each as so delivered is in full force and effect as of the date of this Agreement.
 
4.2.           Corporate Authority; Approval and Fairness. Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and any Related Agreements to which it is a party, and to consummate the Transactions. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Seller and the consummation by Seller of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Seller, and no other corporate proceeding or action on the part of Seller is necessary to adopt or authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions. This Agreement, and each Related Agreement to which Seller is a party when so executed by Seller, has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes a valid and binding Contract of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity (the “Enforceability Exception”).

4.3.           Governmental Filings; No Violations; Certain Contracts
 
(a)           No notifications, consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations are required to be obtained by Seller from, any domestic or foreign governmental or regulatory authority, agency, commission, body, court or other legislative, executive or judicial governmental entity (each, a “Governmental Entity”), in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Seller or the consummation of the Transactions, or in connection with the continuing operation of the Business by Buyer following the Closing, except for (i) as set forth in Section 4.7(a) of this Agreement, or (ii) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (collectively, the items in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Seller Approvals”).

To the Knowledge of Seller, no Seller Product has been adulterated within the meaning of 21 U.S.C. § 351 (or similar applicable Law) or misbranded within the meaning of 21 U.S.C. § 352 (or similar applicable Law).

4.22.                      Fraudulent Conveyance. Seller is not entering into the Transactions with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any Person to which it is, or may become, indebted. The Purchase Price is not less than the reasonably equivalent value of the Acquired Assets less the Assumed Liabilities.

(c)           From and after Closing, Seller shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries, Affiliates and their respective officers and directors in each case to whom such information is disclosed not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of Buyer or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than Buyer, any Confidential Business Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller or any of its Subsidiaries receives a request or is required (by deposition, oral questions, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, governmental investigative demand or other legal or regulatory process or applicable Law) to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Business Information, Seller shall (i) to the extent practicable and permissible under applicable Law, promptly notify Buyer of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request and (ii) reasonably cooperate with such Buyer’s efforts (and at Buyer’s expense) to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.

(d)           The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 6.7 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to Buyer, the amount of which may be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 6.7 will be inadequate, and Buyer will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 6.7 without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond whatsoever.

(e)           The Parties agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 6.7 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser time period, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable Party.

From and after the Closing, Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, shall receive or otherwise possess any asset that should belong to the other Party under this Agreement, Seller and Buyer agree to promptly transfer such asset to the Party so entitled hereto.

Following the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts and take such actions as reasonably requested by Buyer to file recordation of current ownership of all Owned Intellectual Property with the applicable Government Entity, including, without limitation, obtaining consents from any necessary third parties.

If the Indemnifying Person elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall from time to time apprise the Indemnified Person of the status of the Third Party Claim and any resulting Action (including any enforcement Action) and shall furnish the Indemnified Person with such documents and information filed or delivered in connection with such Third Party Claim as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Person elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person will cooperate and make available to the Indemnifying Person (and its Representatives) its employees on reasonable notice and during business hours, and furnish such books and records in its possession or under its control as may be reasonably necessary or useful in connection with such defense; provided, that (A) the provision of or access to any records and information or employees will be subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings and, if applicable, execution of customary release letters in favor of the auditors as requested in connection with the sharing of work papers, and (B) nothing in this subsection will require any party to disclose information that is subject to the attorney-client privilege.

Each Party to this Agreement has or may have set forth information in its respective Disclosure Letter in a section of such Disclosure Letter that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in a Disclosure Letter will not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement or to otherwise imply that any such item has had or is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise represents an exception or material fact, event or circumstance for the purpose of this Agreement. Headings inserted in the sections or subsections of a disclosure letter are for convenience of reference only and will to no extent have the effect of amending or changing the express terms of the sections or subsections set forth in this Agreement.
