Common use of Notwithstanding Section 5 Clause in Contracts

Notwithstanding Section 5. 1(a), from and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Liability incurred by any member of the Aptevo Group prior to the Effective Time, to the extent reasonably possible, Emergent will, or will cause the applicable insurance companies or the member of the Emergent Group that is insured thereunder to (i) continue to provide the members of the Aptevo Group with access to and coverage under the applicable insurance policies, and (ii) reasonably cooperate with Aptevo and take commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary or advisable to assist Aptevo in submitting such claims under the applicable insurance policies; provided, that Aptevo shall be responsible for any and all applicable deductibles, self-insured retentions, retrospective premiums, claims-handling charges, co-payments or any other charge or fee legally due and owing relating to such claims and neither Emergent nor the insurance company or any other member of the Emergent Group shall be required to maintain such insurance policies. For the avoidance of doubt, if an occurrence date is after the Effective Time, then no payment for any damages, costs of defense, or other sums with respect to such claim shall be available to Aptevo under such insurance policies. No member of the Aptevo Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of any member of the Emergent Group pursuant to this Section 5.1(b), shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to: (A) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between any member of the Emergent Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (B) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by any member of the Emergent Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (C) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of any member of the Emergent Group under the applicable insurance policy. At all times, the Parties shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group to, cooperate with reasonable requests for information by the other Party or the insurance companies regarding any such insurance policy claim.
