SELLER shall also promptly pay, on PURCHASER’s behalf, any other payment requests following the Effective Date relating to rebates, refunds, price adjustments and other similar payments, credits or liabilities that are required to be paid by it due to legal or regulatory requirements and which are otherwise an Assumed Liability, and will invoice PURCHASER monthly for any such payments made by SELLER.

(f) Regulatory Requirements. PURCHASER shall provide a written confirmation to SELLER certified by an authorized officer of PURCHASER (the “NDC Certification”) that (i) the last Product with Parent’s NDC number on it has been sold or destroyed; (ii) the date of such last sale or destruction (the “Last NDC Sale Date”); (iii) the expiration date of the last Product sold with Parent’s NDC number on it; and (iv) confirmation that no further Product will be sold with Parent’s NDC number on it.

8.5 Participation in Defense. The Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding involving a third party, at its own expense. In such case the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof, and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof.

8.6 Settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this Article 8 for any settlement effected without its consent of any claim, litigation or proceedings in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, unless the Indemnifying Party refuses to acknowledge liability for indemnification under this Article 8 and/or declines to defend the Indemnified Party in such claim, litigation or proceeding.

The parties agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
