Parent: (a) is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act; (b) is acquiring the Shares for itself for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards any resale or distribution of such Shares; (c) has been advised and understands that the Shares (i) are being issued in reliance upon one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities Laws and (ii) have not been and shall not be registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Laws and, therefore, must be held indefinitely and cannot be resold unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws, unless exemptions from registration are available, (d) is aware that an investment in the Buyer is a speculative investment and is subject to the risk of complete loss; and (e) acknowledges that the Buyer is under no obligation hereunder to register the Shares under the Securities Act. Parent does not have any agreement or understanding with any Person to sell, transfer, or grant participations to such Person with respect to the Shares. By reason of Parent’s business or financial experience, or by reason of the business or financial experience of Parent’s “purchaser representatives” (as that term is defined in Rule 501(h) under the Securities Act), Parent is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in the Buyer and of protecting its interests in connection with its investment. Parent acknowledges that the Shares are subject to dilution for events not under the control of Parent. Parent has completed its independent inquiry and has relied fully upon the advice of its own legal counsel, accountant, financial and other representatives in determining the legal, tax, financial and other consequences of its investment in the Shares. Except as set forth in this Agreement, Parent has not relied upon any representations or advice by the Buyer or its representatives. Parent has conducted its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the business, results of operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or assets of the Buyer, and acknowledges that it has been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, assets, premises, books and records, and other documents and data of the Buyer for such purpose.

3.1.14 Regulatory Matters.

(a) Seller, or an Affiliate of Seller, possesses all material licenses, franchises, permits, certificates, approvals or other similar authorizations issued by applicable Governmental Authorities and affecting or relating to the operation of the Product Business, including the Purchased Regulatory Approvals and associated Regulatory Submissions. The Purchased Regulatory Approvals are valid and are in full force and effect, and none of the Purchased Regulatory Approvals will be terminated as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the Execution Date, no proceeding is pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened in writing regarding the validity, withdrawal, material modification or revocation of any Purchased Regulatory Approval. As of the Execution Date, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has received any written communication from any Governmental Authority threatening to withdraw, materially modify or suspend any Purchased Regulatory Approval.

Seller or its Affiliate has completed and filed all material reports, documents, claims, Permits, fees and notices required by any Governmental Authority to maintain the Purchased Regulatory Approvals. Neither Seller, any director, officer or employee of Seller nor, to Seller’s Knowledge, any agent of Seller or an Affiliate of Seller has made an untrue statement of a material fact or fraudulent statement to the FDA, failed to disclose a material fact required to be disclosed to the FDA, or committed an act, made a statement, or failed to make a statement that, at the time such disclosure was made, would reasonably be expected to provide a basis for the FDA to invoke its policy respecting “Fraud, Untrue Statements of Material Facts, Bribery, and Illegal Gratuities,” set forth in 56 Fed. Reg. 46191 (Sept. 10, 1991). With respect to the Products, Seller is in compliance in all material respects with the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and any state Laws in the United States that apply to the manufacture, development, testing, safety, efficacy approval, marketing, sale, promotion, distributions, import or export of pharmaceutical products (“Pharmaceutical Laws”). Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has received any written, or, to Seller’s Knowledge, other notice from the FDA or any other Governmental Authority alleging noncompliance with any Pharmaceutical Law.

(b) Since January 1, 2020, there has not been any product recall or market withdrawal or replacement conducted by or on behalf of Seller concerning the Products or, to Seller’s Knowledge, any product recall, market withdrawal or replacement conducted by or on behalf of any Third Party as a result of any alleged defect in the Products. Seller has made available to Buyer copies of material complaints and notices of alleged defect or adverse reaction with respect to the Products that have been received in writing by Seller and its Affiliates since January 1, 2020. Since January 1, 2020, all material documents, declarations, listings, registrations, notices, reports or submissions, including Adverse Event or other safety reports, required to be filed by Seller and its Affiliates with respect to the Products have been so filed on a timely basis, were in material compliance with applicable Laws when filed, and were complete and accurate in all material respects when filed.

3.1.15 Accounts Receivable. All Accounts Receivable of the Seller and its Affiliates that are reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed in the ordinary course of business of Seller and its Affiliates. Unless paid prior to the Closing Date, such Accounts Receivable are or will be as of the Closing Date collectible net of an appropriate reserve shown on the Closing Balance Sheet (which reserves are adequate and calculated consistent with past practice). There is no contest, claim, or right of set-off under any Contract with any obligor of any Accounts Receivable relating to the amount or validity of such Accounts Receivable.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows, with each such representation and warranty subject to such exceptions, if any, as are set forth in the corresponding section of the Buyer Disclosure Schedules.

3.2.3 Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and of each Ancillary Agreement to which it will be a party and the execution, delivery and performance by each Affiliate of Buyer of each Ancillary Agreement to which such Affiliate is a party do not and will not (a) violate the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or comparable organizational documents, of Buyer or such Affiliate, as applicable, (b) violate any Law applicable to Buyer or such Affiliate, as applicable, or (c) (i) violate any Order to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates is subject or (ii) require on the part of Buyer any filing with, or any authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority, except, in the case of (b) or (c), for such violations, breaches, defaults or terminations that would not constitute a material adverse effect.

Buyer acknowledges that it has been permitted access to the books and records related to the Product Business that it has desired or requested to see and review, and that it has had an opportunity to meet with employees of Seller and its Affiliates to discuss the Product Business, the Products, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities.

Further, Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions) and that Buyer is not relying on any estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or budgets made available or otherwise furnished by Seller or its Affiliates, and Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, hold any such Person liable with respect thereto (whether in warranty, contract, tort (including negligence or strict liability) or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.3 shall in any way limit or restrict Buyer’s ability to rely on the express representations and warranties of Seller made under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Article 4
COVENANTS

4.1 Cooperation in Litigation and Investigations. Subject to Section 4.4 and except as set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the defense or prosecution of any Litigation, examination or audit instituted prior to the Closing or that may be instituted thereafter against or by either Party relating to or arising out of the conduct of the Product Business or the Exploitation or Manufacture of the Products prior to or after the Closing (other than Litigation between Buyer and Seller or their respective Affiliates arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, with respect to which applicable rules of discovery shall apply). In connection therewith, and except as set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall make available to the other during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice, but without unreasonably disrupting its business, all records relating primarily to the Purchased Assets, the Licensed Intellectual Property, the Assumed Liabilities or the Excluded Liabilities held by it and reasonably necessary to permit the defense or investigation of any such Litigation, examination or audit (other than Litigation between Buyer and Seller or their respective Affiliates arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, with respect to which applicable rules of discovery shall apply), and shall, and cause their Affiliates to, preserve and retain all such records for the length of time contemplated by its standard record retention policies and schedules; provided that neither Party shall be required to make available such documents if such disclosure could, in such Party’s reasonable discretion, (a) violate applicable Law or any binding agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which such Party or any of its Affiliates is a party), (b) jeopardize any attorney/client privilege or other established legal privilege or (c) disclose any trade secrets (provided that, with respect to clauses (a)–(c), such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents or waivers and take such other reasonable action (such as the entry into a joint defense agreement or other arrangement to avoid loss of attorney-client privilege) to permit such access). The Party requesting such cooperation shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of providing such cooperation (including reasonable and documented legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Party providing such cooperation and by its Representatives.

4.2 Further Assurances.4.2.1 Seller and Buyer shall, at any time or from time to time after the Closing, at the reasonable request and expense of the other, execute and deliver to the other all such instruments and documents or further assurances as the other may reasonably request in order to (a) vest in Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets as contemplated hereby, (b) effectuate Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and (c) grant to each Party all rights contemplated herein to be granted to such Party under the Ancillary Agreements; provided, however, that after the Closing, apart from such foregoing customary further assurances, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any other obligations except as specifically set forth and described herein or in the Ancillary Agreements.

4.2.1 If any approval, consent or waiver required to assume and assign the Purchased Contracts and other Purchased Assets to Buyer shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assume and assign the Purchased Contracts and other Purchased Assets to Buyer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Purchased Asset or any right thereunder if an attempted assignment, without the consent of a Third Party, would constitute a breach or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer or Seller thereunder, and Seller, at Buyer’s expense, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If such consent is not obtained, or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, then Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, shall act after the Closing, at Buyer’s request, as ▇▇▇▇▇’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer. Seller may not agree to pay any amount to obtain any consent of a third party without ▇▇▇▇▇’s prior written consent. All obligations of Seller under this Section 4.2.1 shall expire on the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date.

4.2.2 Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall cooperate with Seller, upon the reasonable request of Seller, in any reasonable manner in connection with Seller obtaining any necessary approval, consent or waiver; provided that such cooperation shall not include any requirement of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to pay money to any Third Party, commence any Litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party in connection with such efforts.

4.2.3 Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate the transfer of the NDAs and the ANDAs included in the Purchased Assets, as of or as promptly as possible after the Closing Date, pursuant to the procedures for changing the ownership of an NDA or ANDA set forth at 21 C.F.R. § 314.72. Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers from, and give all notices to, and make all declarations, filings and registrations with, any Governmental Authority that are required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer and Seller shall coordinate and cooperate with one another and supply such commercially reasonable assistance (to the extent of the information disclosed and available with the Seller, without a need for development of any additional information, data or otherwise incur expenses) as may be reasonably requested by each in connection with the foregoing. Buyer shall provide Seller with regular updates regarding the status of transferring the rights to the NDA and the ANDAs as reasonably requested by Seller, including prompt written notice and copies of all communications received from Governmental Authority and detailed written reports summarizing all transfer activities once every six months.

4.3 Publicity. No public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein will be issued without the joint approval of Seller and Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except in any public disclosure which either Seller or Buyer, on the written advice of counsel, believes is required by applicable Law, a Governmental Authority, or by any stock exchange on which its securities or those of its Affiliates are listed. If either Party, in its good faith judgment, believes any additional disclosure regarding this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is required, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party and its Representatives, and consider in good faith any revisions proposed by the other Party or its Representatives, as applicable, prior to making (or prior to any of its Affiliates making) such disclosure, and shall limit such disclosure to only that information which is legally required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the approval of the other Party, (a) Buyer and Seller and their respective Affiliates may, following the Execution Date and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 4.4), (i) communicate with Governmental Authorities and with their customers, suppliers, distributors or other Persons engaged in the Product Business, regarding this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, including in order to obtain consents of or from any such Person necessary or desirable to effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements or (ii) make public announcements and engage in public communications regarding this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements (in the case of this clause (ii), to the extent such announcements or communications are consistent with a communications plan agreed upon by Seller and Buyer or the Parties’ prior public communications made in compliance with this Section 4.3) or (b) Seller may communicate with, and disclose to, its partners, members, investors (current or prospective), attorneys, tax advisors the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The Parties may make a joint press release announcing the execution of this Agreement in a mutually acceptable form.

4.4 Confidentiality.

4.4.1 From and after the Closing, all Confidential Information provided by one Party (or its Representatives or Affiliates) (collectively, the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (or its Representatives or Affiliates) (collectively, the “Receiving Party”) shall be subject to and treated in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.4. As used in this Section 4.4, “Confidential Information” means (a) all information disclosed to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including all information with respect to the Disclosing Party’s licensors, licensees or Affiliates, (b) all information disclosed to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party under the Confidentiality Agreement and (c) all memoranda, notes, analyses, compilations, studies and other materials prepared by or for the Receiving Party to the extent containing or reflecting the information in the preceding clause (a) or (b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that, in each case:

(i) was already known to the Receiving Party other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party;

(ii) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party;

(iii) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure to the Receiving Party other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates or Representatives in breach of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement;

(iv) is subsequently disclosed to the Receiving Party by a Third Party not acting in violation of obligations of confidentiality with respect thereto; or

(v) is subsequently independently discovered or developed by the Receiving Party or its Affiliates or representatives without the aid, application or use of Confidential Information.

4.4.2 From and after the Closing, (a) all Confidential Information obtained by Seller (or its Affiliates or Representatives) from Buyer (or its Affiliates or Representatives), and (b) all Confidential Information relating exclusively to the Product Business, Purchased Assets and/or the Assumed Liabilities (other than Confidential Information relating to the Licensed Intellectual Property) (collectively, the “Buyer Confidential Information”) shall be deemed to be Confidential Information disclosed by Buyer to Seller (or its Affiliates or Representatives) for purposes of this Section 4.4 and during the period from the Closing through the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Confidentiality Period”) shall be used by Seller (or its Affiliates or Representatives) solely as required to (i) perform their respective obligations or exercise or enforce their respective rights under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, or any other agreement related to the Products pursuant to which Seller or any of its Affiliates obtains rights to the Licensed Intellectual Property, (ii) based on the advice of counsel comply with applicable Law or its or its Affiliates’ respective regulatory, stock exchange, Tax or financing reporting requirements or (iii) communicate with, and disclose to, their partners, members, investors (current or prospective), attorneys, tax advisors the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (each of (i) through (iii), a “Seller Permitted Purpose”), and for no other purpose. Until the expiration of the Confidentiality Period, Seller shall not disclose, or permit the disclosure of, any of the Buyer Confidential Information to any Person except those Persons to whom such disclosure is necessary in connection with any Seller Permitted Purpose and who are advised of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and directed to comply with the confidentiality and non-use obligations under this Section 4.4. Seller shall treat, and will cause its Affiliates and the Representatives of Seller or any of its Affiliates to treat, the Buyer Confidential Information as confidential, using the same degree of care as Seller normally employs to safeguard its own confidential information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Seller shall be responsible for any use or disclosure of Buyer Confidential Information by any of Seller’s Affiliates or Representatives that would breach this Section 4.4 if such Affiliate or Representative was a party hereto.

4.4.3 During the Confidentiality Period, all Confidential Information obtained by Buyer (or its Affiliates or Representatives) from Seller (or its Affiliates or Representatives) other than the Buyer Confidential Information (the “Seller Confidential Information”) shall be used by Buyer (or its Affiliates or Representatives) solely as required to (a) perform their respective obligations or exercise or enforce their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (b) conduct the Product Business or, (c) based on the advice of counsel, comply with applicable Law or its or its Affiliates’ respective regulatory, stock exchange, Tax or financing reporting requirements (each of (a), (b) and (c), a “Buyer Permitted Purpose”), and for no other purpose. Until the expiration of the Confidentiality Period, Buyer shall not disclose, or permit the disclosure of, any Seller Confidential Information to any Person except those Persons to whom such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Buyer Permitted Purpose and who are advised of the confidential nature of the Seller Confidential Information and directed to comply with the confidentiality and non-use obligations under this Section 4.4. Buyer shall treat, and will cause its Affiliates and the Representatives of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to treat, Seller Confidential Information as confidential, using the same degree of care as Buyer normally employs to safeguard its own confidential information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Buyer shall be responsible for any use or disclosure of Seller Confidential Information by any of Buyer’s Affiliates or Representatives that would breach this Section 4.4 if such Affiliate or Representative was a party hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement and amounts received pursuant to this Agreement to the extent necessary to comply with its reporting obligations under applicable securities Laws.

4.4.4 In the event either Party is requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable Law to disclose any of the other Party’s Confidential Information (i.e., Seller Confidential Information or Buyer Confidential Information, as applicable), it will notify the other Party in a timely manner so that such Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy at such Party’s expense or, in such Party’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement (provided that no such notice shall be required, and Seller may disclose Buyer Confidential Information, if Seller is requested or required to disclose Buyer Confidential Information during the course of a routine supervisory or regulatory examination that does not target Buyer, this Agreement or the Product Business, and if such supervisor or regulator is required to keep such information confidential). Each Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects in connection with any reasonable actions to be taken for the foregoing purpose. In any event, the Party requested or required to disclose such Confidential Information may furnish it as requested or required pursuant to applicable Law (subject to any such protective order or other appropriate remedy) without liability hereunder, provided that such Party furnishes only that portion of the Confidential Information which such Party is advised by an opinion of its counsel is legally required, and such Party exercises reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

4.4.5 Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be construed as preventing or in any way inhibiting either Party from complying with applicable Law governing activities and obligations undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in any manner which it reasonably deems appropriate.

4.4.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇ recognizes that one or more Affiliates of Seller provides management services for investment funds engaged in public market and private equity investing (collectively, the “Funds”) and may therefore be involved in discussions, investments or business relationships with persons or entities engaged in, or contemplating, similar businesses to the actual or planned business of Buyer or its Affiliates. The fact that the Seller’s Affiliates or the Funds may have such discussions, investments or business relationships with other persons or entities shall not give rise to any presumption that the Seller, its Affiliates or any of the Funds has breached any of its obligations under this Agreement. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement will be construed as a representation or agreement that any of the Funds or the Seller’s Affiliates will not (a) develop, receive or otherwise possess ideas, plans or other information which may be similar to that embodied in the Buyer Confidential Information, or (b) invest in or otherwise be associated with a business that competes, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, with Buyer or its Affiliates. Buyer recognizes that the primary activity of certain of the Funds involves trading securities in the public markets, and the Buyer acknowledges that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller, its affiliates and the Funds owe no duty to Buyer to refrain from trading on the basis, or while in possession, of Buyer Confidential Information. ▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that Seller does not want to receive any material non-public information of a publicly traded company or any confidential information of or regarding any third party and ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to not knowingly disclose such information to Seller.

4.5 Post-Closing Access. For a period of six (6) months after the Closing, or so long as performance is possible, whichever is shorter, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to provide the other party with reasonable access to the books and records in such parties’ possession or control to the extent necessary for the preparation of financial statements, regulatory filings in respect of periods ending on or prior to the Closing, or in connection with any legal proceedings, at the cost of the other Party, in each case to the extent related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Either Party may notify the other Party in writing that it intends to destroy all such books and records and offer the other Party the right to take possession of the same. If a Party does not notify the other party of its intention to take possession of all such books and records, and does not actually take possession thereof within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of the notice, and if the other Party did make such books and records available in good faith so as to enable the notifying party to take possession thereof within such time frame, the other party may destroy such books and records. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall not destroy all financial books and records relating to the Product Business or the Products, sufficient to permit carve-out financial statement audits to be performed (the “Retained Financial Records”) without the express prior written consent of Buyer; provided, however, that Seller may, in its sole discretion and at any time or from time to time, in lieu of retaining the Retained Financial Records, transfer such Retained Financial Records to Buyer at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.

4.6 Regulatory Transfers. Buyer and Seller shall (a) cooperate with one another and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to complete, execute and file with the applicable Governmental Authorities all documentation required to effect the transfer of the Purchased Regulatory Approvals as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing; and (b) without limiting the foregoing, promptly file the Buyer FDA Transfer Letter and the Seller FDA Transfer Letter, respectively, with FDA. Transfer of title to the Purchased Regulatory Approvals and associated Regulatory Submission shall be effective as of the Closing. For clarity, Buyer shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any regulatory transfers contemplated in this Section 4.6 and in Section 4.7, including costs arising from procurement of certain ancillary documents, registration file transfer, document transfer, archive copying and document legalization.

4.7 Regulatory Responsibilities.

4.7.1 NDC. Promptly following the Closing Date, Buyer shall initiate the process to obtain its own NDC for the Products and shall have in place all reasonable resources such that sales of the Products in the Territory can be accomplished under the NDCs of Buyer. Following the Closing Date, Buyer and its Affiliates shall be permitted to distribute or sell any Products in the Territory labeled with Seller’s NDC until such Products have been sold in full.

4.7.2 Other Regulatory Responsibilities. Except as required by a Party to comply with applicable Law or to exercise its rights and obligations hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall have the sole right and responsibility for (and shall bear the cost of) preparing, obtaining and maintaining all Regulatory Approvals, and for conducting communications with Governmental Authorities of competent jurisdiction, for the Subject Products in the Territory.

4.8 Further Obligations. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer (a) shall be responsible for handling and responding to all customer complaints and inquiries (including medical and non-medical inquiries) related to the Products used, marketed, distributed or sold in the Territory and (b) shall be responsible for all correspondence and communication with physicians and other healthcare professionals in the Territory relating to the Products.

4.9 Commercialization. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Closing Date, (a) Buyer, at its own cost and expense, shall be responsible for and have sole discretion over the commercialization, marketing strategy, promotion, distribution and sale of the Products in the Territory and shall independently determine and set prices for the Products in the Territory, including the selling price, volume discounts, rebates and similar matters; (b) Buyer or its Affiliates shall be responsible for receiving and processing all orders, undertaking all invoicing, collection and receivables, and providing all customer service related to the sale of the Products in the Territory; and (c) Buyer or its Affiliates shall be responsible for receiving and processing all orders, undertaking all invoicing, collection and receivables, and providing all customer service related to the sale of the Products in the Territory.

4.10 Certain Tax Matters.

4.10.1 Transfer Taxes and Apportioned Obligations. All amounts payable hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement are exclusive of all recordation, transfer, documentary, excise, sales, value added, use, stamp, conveyance or other similar Taxes imposed or levied by reason of, in connection with or attributable to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). Seller and Buyer, each respectively paying and otherwise being responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all Transfer Taxes, and amounts due and owing in respect of any Transfer Taxes, these amounts in addition to the sums otherwise payable, at the rate in force at the due time for payment or such other time as is stipulated under applicable Law.

4.10.2 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Seller and Buyer shall (a) provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other (subject to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses) in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Liability for Taxes in connection with the Product Business or the Purchased Assets, (b) retain and provide the other with any records or other information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination, (c) upon the other’s request (subject to reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expense), use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Taxing Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any applicable Transfer Tax and (d) inform the other of any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of the other for any period.

4.10.3 Survival of Covenants. The covenants contained in this Section 4.10 shall survive until 30 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including extensions thereof).

4.11 Accounts Receivable and Payable.

4.11.1 Accounts Receivable. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all Accounts Receivable outstanding on the Closing Date (excluding the Uncollected Execution Date Accounts Receivable) shall be transferred to and become the property of Buyer. The amount, if any, by which the Cash Sweep plus Accounts Receivable Target of Seller exceeds the Cash in Seller's bank account at Closing is the “Seller Accounts Receivable Closing Amount.” As Buyer collects the Accounts Receivable and accounts receivable generated by the Buyer with respect to the Product Business (“Buyer Product AR”) after the Closing Date, it will remit 50% of the Accounts Receivable and Buyer Product AR collected to Seller up to the Seller Accounts Receivable Closing Amount. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing, Seller or an Affiliate of Seller receives any payments from any obligor with respect to an Account Receivable, then Seller shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such payment, remit the full amount of such payment to Buyer.

4.11.2 Accounts Payable. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer receives any invoices from any Third Party that is for the account of Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement with respect to any account payable of the Product Business outstanding prior to the Closing (unless designated on the Closing Balance Sheet Statement as being an obligation of Buyer), then Buyer shall, within 30 days after receipt of such invoice, provide such invoice to Seller. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing, Seller or any of its Affiliates receive any invoices from any Third Party with respect to any account payable of Buyer or any of its Affiliates for any period after the Closing, then Seller shall, within 30 days after receipt of such invoice, provide such invoice to Buyer.

4.12 Wrong Pockets.

4.12.1 Assets. Without limiting Section 4.2, if either Buyer or Seller becomes aware that any of the Purchased Assets has not been transferred to Buyer or that any of the Excluded Assets has been transferred to Buyer, it shall promptly notify the other and the Parties shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, ensure that such property is transferred and with any necessary prior Third Party consent or approval, to (a) Buyer, in the case of any Purchased Asset which was not transferred to Buyer at the Closing; or (b) Seller, in the case of any Excluded Asset which was transferred to Buyer at the Closing.

4.12.2 Payments. If, on or after the Closing Date, either Party shall receive any payments or other funds due to the other pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the Party receiving such funds shall, within 30 days after receipt of such funds, forward such funds to the proper Party. The Parties acknowledge and agree that 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 this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

4.13 Right of Reference. Promptly following Seller’s request therefore, Buyer shall provide to Seller copies of the Buyer Regulatory Documentation or Purchased Regulatory Documentation as shall be reasonably requested by Seller solely for purposes of exercising Seller’s or its Affiliates’ respective rights or performing its or their respective obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

4.14 Insurance. As of the Closing Date, the coverage under all insurance policies related to the Purchased Assets (including the Product) shall continue in force only for the benefit of Seller and its Affiliates and not for the benefit of Buyer or its Affiliates. ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to arrange for its own insurance policies with respect to the Purchased Assets covering all periods and agrees not to seek, through any means, to benefit from any of the insurance policies maintained by Seller or its Affiliates which may provide coverage for claims relating in any way to the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing, except for claims brought against the Buyer related to any Excluded Liability. For a period of three years after Closing, Seller shall maintain product liability coverage, in amounts at least comparable to that currently maintained by Seller, covering claims related to finished goods Transferred Inventory sold to Buyer on the Closing Date. Seller shall provide Buyer with evidence of such product liability coverage.

4.15 Purchased Domain Name Obligations and Restrictions. Promptly following the Closing, Seller shall, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, take such action as may be reasonably necessary, or as reasonably requested by Buyer, to effectuate the assignment and transfer of the Purchased Domain Names to Buyer, including unlocking the Purchased Domain Names, securing and forwarding to Buyer transfer authorization codes for the Purchased Domain Names, and completing such automated website procedures and documentation as may be required by the registrar of the Purchased Domain Names to release and transfer possession and control of the Purchased Domain Names to Buyer.

4.16 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

4.16.1 For a period of three (3) years commencing on the Closing Date, Parent and Seller shall not, and shall cause their direct and indirect subsidiaries not to, knowingly (a) Exploit the Products (or any product that contains the same active pharmaceutical ingredient as any of the Products or therapeutically equivalent to any of the Products) or any of the Purchased Assets in the Territory or (b) distribute, market, promote, Manufacture, offer for sale or sell the Products (or any product that contains the same active pharmaceutical ingredient as any of the Products or therapeutically equivalent to any of the Products) directly or indirectly to any Person that is reasonably likely to directly or indirectly distribute, market, promote, offer for sale or sell the Products (or any product that contains the same active pharmaceutical ingredient as any of the Products or therapeutically equivalent to any of the Products) in the Territory or assist another Person to do so.

4.16.2 For a period of three (3) years commencing on the Closing Date, Parent and Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, cause, induce or encourage any material actual client, customer, supplier or licensor of the Product Business to terminate or modify any such actual relationship.

4.16.3 Parent and Seller each acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 4.16 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 4.16 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 4.16 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

4.17 Transferred Employees. The employees of Seller who accept employment with the Buyer shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.” The employees of Seller who do not accept employment with the Buyer shall be referred to collectively herein as “Non-Transferred Employees.” Nothing in this Agreement shall limit Buyer’s or any of its Affiliates’ ability to modify the salary or wage level or terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee at any time and for any reason, including without cause. Neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any Liability with respect to any Non-Transferred Employee or former independent contractor, consultant, employee or retiree of the Seller or any Seller Affiliate, regardless of when such Liability arises or occurred (whether on, prior to or after the Closing Date). Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of all wages, salaries and other compensation and benefits (including any severance pay, notice pay, insurance, supplemental pension, deferred compensation, “stay” or other similar incentive bonuses, change-in-control bonuses (or other bonuses or compensation related in any way to the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement), retirement and any other benefits, premiums, taxes, penalties, claims and related costs) to the Non-Transferred Employees. Buyer shall be solely responsible for the payment of all wages, salaries and other compensation and employee benefits (including any severance pay, notice pay, insurance, supplemental pension, deferred compensation, bonuses, retirement and any other benefits, premiums, taxes, claims and related costs) to any Transferred Employee relating to or arising out of their employment with Buyer or any Buyer Affiliate after the Closing Date. Except as set forth in Section 4.17.1, neither Buyer nor any Buyer Affiliate shall assume any Liability with respect to any benefit plan of any kind or nature currently or formerly sponsored by, maintained by or contributed to by Seller or any benefit plan of any entity that together with Seller constitutes a controlled group of entities under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code or any “withdrawal liability” or any other Liability with respect to any “multiemployer plan” (as such terms are defined under ERISA).

4.17.1 COBRA. If applicable, Seller is wholly responsible for complying with all applicable health care continuation coverage requirements under COBRA and related state Laws with respect to the employees of Seller and the Seller Affiliates as to qualifying events that occur on or prior to the Closing Date, and the Buyer is wholly responsible for complying with such coverage requirements with respect to employees employed by Buyer or the Buyer Affiliates from and after the Closing Date who have qualifying events that occur after the Closing.

4.17.2 Mutual Cooperation. Subject to applicable Law (including any privacy Laws), Seller and each Seller Affiliate shall provide promptly to Buyer, at Buyer’s request, any information or copies of personnel records (including addresses, dates of birth, dates of hire and dependent information) relating to the Transferred Employees or relating to the service of Transferred Employees with Seller (and predecessors and Affiliates of Seller) prior to the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer shall each cooperate with the other and shall provide to the other such documentation, information and assistance as is reasonably necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 4.17.

4.17.3 Parent Guaranty. Parent does hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to Buyer the full, faithful, prompt and punctual performance by Seller of all of Seller’s agreements, covenants and obligations under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement. Parent waives (a) all notices or demands which may be given or are required to be given under to Seller, (b) the right to require Buyer first to proceed against Seller prior to proceeding against Parent for enforcement of the obligations under this Section and (c) notice or right of approval of any amendment, modification or assignment of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

4.17.4 Additional Covenants. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 4.17, Seller and their Affiliates shall retain all Liabilities in respect of any benefit plan of any kind or nature which any of them has sponsored, sponsors, has contributed to or contributes to, whether incurred on, prior to, or after the Closing Date. No assets or liabilities of any benefit plan shall be transferred to Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any employee benefit plan maintained by any of them except as specified in Section 4.17. All claims incurred by Transferred Employees or their covered dependents on or prior to the Closing Date under any benefit plan sponsored by Seller or any Seller Affiliate or to which Seller or any Seller Affiliate contributes shall be covered pursuant to the terms and conditions of such benefit plans. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) a claim for health benefits will be deemed to have been incurred on the date on which the related medical service or material was rendered to or received by the individual claiming such benefit, (b) a claim for sickness, accident or disability benefits based on an injury or illness occurring on or prior to the Closing Date will be deemed to have been incurred prior to the Closing Date and (c) in the case of any claim for benefits other than sickness, accident or disability benefits (e.g., life insurance benefits), a claim will be deemed to have been incurred upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to such claim..

4.18 Audited Financial Statements. Parent and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Audited Financial Statements to be prepared and delivered to Buyer as promptly as possible. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain and continue to engage or employ the current members of its accounting staff and its current controller and these persons will be directed to assist in the completion of the Audited Financial Statements as promptly as possible.

4.19 Registration of Shares. Buyer agrees that, within 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will use best efforts to file with the SEC (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement on Form S-3 (provided that Buyer is then eligible to file registration statements on Form S-3) (the “Registration Statement”) registering under the Securities Act the resale of all the Shares, and Buyer shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. Buyer’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Collateral Agent furnishing in writing to Buyer such information regarding Collateral Agent, and the intended method of disposition of the Shares, as shall be reasonably requested by Buyer to effect the registration of the Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Buyer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. In connection with any registration of the Shares, Buyer will enter into an agreement providing holders of the Shares with customary indemnification rights of the type that would typically be included in a registration rights agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents Buyer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the shares by the selling shareholders named therein or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of shares equal to the maximum number of shares as is permitted by the SEC. “Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Shares acquired by Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to such Shares by way of stock split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earliest of (i) the date on which such Shares have actually been sold and (ii) Rule 144 is available without restriction.

Article 5
INDEMNIFICATION

5.1 Indemnification.

5.1.1 Indemnification by Seller

5.1.2. Following the Closing, but subject to the provisions of this Article 5 and Section 6.11, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against, and compensate and reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for, any and all Losses incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee arising out of or related to:

(a) any breach by Seller of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in Article 3 of this Agreement;

(b) any failure of Seller to perform or any breach by Seller of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement; or

5.1.2 Indemnification by ▇▇▇▇▇. Following the Closing, but subject to the provisions of this Article 5 and Section 6.11, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against, and compensate and reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for, any and all Losses incurred by any Seller Indemnitee arising out of or related to:(a)

(a) any breach by Buyer of any of the representations or warranties made by ▇▇▇▇▇ in Article 3 of this Agreement;

(b) any failure of Buyer to perform or any breach by Buyer of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement;

(d) the Exploitation of any Subject Product by or on behalf of Buyer, its Affiliates or distributors following the Closing.

5.1.3 Survival.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 5.1.3(a) or Section 5.1.3(b), the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall survive until the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date, at which time such representations and warranties and any cause of action or indemnification claim based thereon will terminate. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall survive the Closing Date in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no time limit shall apply for indemnification or other Litigation arising from Fraud.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of the survival period set forth herein for representations and warranties, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of a representation or warranty, or a notice that, as a result of Litigation instituted or made by a Third Party, the Indemnified Party reasonably expects to incur Losses, then the applicable representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such Claim Notice or notice.

5.1.4 Certain Limitations on Indemnification Obligations and Recourse.

(a) The Buyer Indemnitees will not be entitled to receive any indemnification payments under Section 5.1.1 from Seller until the amount of Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees for all claims under Section 5.1.1 in the aggregate exceeds $50,000 (the “Buyer Deductible”), at which point, Seller shall only be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees for the amount of indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Buyer Deductible, subject to the other limitations in this Article 5. The aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller shall be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification payments under Section 5.1.1 shall not exceed $500,000 (the “Buyer Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Buyer Deductible shall not apply to indemnification claims by the Buyer Indemnitees based upon any claim or liability asserted by Sovereign Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and (ii) neither the Buyer Cap nor the Buyer Deductible shall apply to indemnification claims by the Buyer Indemnitees based upon any claim or liability of Fraud, with respect to which the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to receive indemnification for all Losses.

(b) Buyer Indemnitees may only seek payment for an indemnification claim by set off against the Post-Closing Payment.

5.1.5 Procedures for Indemnification. The procedures for indemnification will be as follows:(a)

(a) The Party claiming indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) must give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Party from whom the indemnification is claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim, whether between the Parties or brought by a Third Party against the Indemnified Party, specifying (i) the factual basis for such claim, (ii) the amount, if then known, of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim and (iii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article 5 for such claim. If a claim relates to Litigation filed by a Third Party or other claim made by a Third Party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Claim Notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party promptly, but in any event within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of written notice of such Litigation. Failure to give prompt notice will not affect the indemnification obligations under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party actually forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure.

(b) Following receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party that involves a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have the right, at its own expense, to participate in or, if it so elects (by written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered no later than ten (10) days after receipt of the Claim Notice), to assume control of the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that, if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense, then (i) the Indemnifying Party shall at all times diligently conduct such defense, and (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which will shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation by the Indemnified Party of any Law or of any rights of any Person, (B) the Indemnified Party receives a full release of and from any and all other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party by the Third Party or Third Parties bringing the Third Party Claim, and (C) the sole relief provided in compromise or settlement is monetary Losses that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, then Seller (as the Indemnifying Party) shall not be entitled to control the defense of, pay or settle any Third Party Claim if (i) such claim arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation involving a Governmental Authority; (ii) such claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between Seller (as the Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnified Party; or (iv) such claim is with respect to Taxes.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not diligently conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as reasonably determined by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may, without waiving any of its rights under this Agreement, conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, and, upon receipt of the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), may compromise or settle such Third Party Claim. Further, if the Indemnifying Party is otherwise entitled to control the defense of a Third Party Claim under this Agreement, and if the Indemnifying Party timely elects to do so, the Indemnified Party shall nevertheless have the right to control, pay or settle any such Third Party Claim so long as the Indemnified Party waives in writing, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, any right to indemnification therefor by the Indemnified Party.

(e) With respect to any Third Party Claim, the party not controlling the defense thereof (the “Non-Controlling Party”) will have the right to participate in the defense of such claim at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably and in good faith concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such Third Party Claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of such Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(f) Any claim under this Article 5 for any matter involving a Third Party Claim shall be indemnified, paid, or reimbursed upon receipt of written demand therefor by the Indemnified Party, subject to the limitations in this Article 5. If the Indemnified Party is the Controlling Party, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party on a monthly basis for the costs of investigation and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense, subject to the limitations in this Article 5.

(g) Following receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have 90 days in which to make such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifying Party may deem necessary or desirable. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of such 90-day period (or any agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party will immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full amount of the claim, subject to the limitations in this Article 5. In the event that the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable to agree on whether Losses exist or on the amount of such Losses within the 90-day period after delivery of a Claim Notice, or the Indemnifying Party does not respond to the Claim Notice, then the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(h) For the purpose of the procedures set forth in this Section 5.1.5, any indemnification claims by any Buyer Indemnitee will be made by and through Buyer and any indemnification claims by any Seller Indemnitee will be made by and through Seller.

5.1.6 Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article 5 will constitute adjustments to the aggregate Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, and no Party will take any position inconsistent with such characterization.

5.1.7 Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 6.9, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, other than with respect to Fraud, its sole and exclusive remedy against any other Party for all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement or otherwise shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 5.
