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 rights and obligations under any and all of the Assigned Contracts or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements, so that, in any case, Buyer shall solely have the benefit of and be responsible for such rights and obligations from and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that neither Party 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 Assigned Contract to which such consent, authorization, approval, waiver, release, substitution or amendment relates for no additional consideration. From and after the Closing, Seller (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) appoints Buyer as its attorney-in-fact to act in its name on its behalf, or in the name of the applicable Subsidiary, and on such Subsidiarys behalf, with regard to each Non-Assignable Contract.

For clarity, Seller shall not charge Buyer for performing Sellers obligation under this Section 2.08(b). To the extent that a Third Party consent is not obtained to any Non-Assignable Contract prior to the Closing, then, during the Intermediary Period, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith directly with the Third Party to obtain a Contract in replacement of the Non-Assignable Contract.
(c) If the Contracts set forth in Section 2.08(c) of the Disclosure Schedules are assignable in part, or can otherwise be bifurcated, in each case, without consent of the Third Party involved in such Contract, Seller shall assign to Buyer in part, or bifurcate, the Contracts as they relate to the Product Portfolio. If the Contracts set forth in Section 2.08(c) of the Disclosure Schedules are not assignable without consent of the Third Party involved in such Contracts, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to work with the applicable Third Party to bifurcate such non-assignable Contracts to the extent such Contracts relate to the Product Portfolio such that Buyer obtains its own Contract covering the subject matter contained therein as it relates specifically to the Product Portfolio. In the event that Buyer and Seller are unable to bifurcate the non-assignable Contracts set forth in Section 2.08(c) of the Disclosure Schedules on or before the Closing, then, during the Intermediary Period, Seller shall act as an intermediary to provide Buyer the benefit of the terms of such non-assignable Contract (including, without limitation, purchasing on behalf of Buyer any raw materials or finished products to be supplied under such non-assignable Contract) with all costs and expenses incurred by Seller thereunder on behalf of Buyer being borne fully by Buyer. For clarity, Seller shall not charge Buyer for performing Sellers obligation under this Section 2.08(c). During the Intermediary Period, Buyer and Seller shall continue to cooperate to seek bifurcation of the non-assignable Contracts with the Third Party.

Buyer shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, abide by the terms of the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement with respect to any access or information provided pursuant to this Section 6.01.
Section 6.02 Business Employees and Benefits.
(a) Section 6.02(a)(i), of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth each employee of Seller whose employment duties as of the Closing are primarily dedicated to the Business (collectively, the Business Employees). Buyer shall offer to employ, as of the Closing Date, those Business Employees set forth in Section 6.02(a)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules (the Selected Sales Employees). Such offers of employment shall (i) be made no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the date hereof, and (ii) provide each Selected Sales Employee with: (A) a base salary or hourly wages which are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided by Seller or its Subsidiaries to such Selected Sales Employee immediately prior to the Closing; (B) target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation), if any, which are no less than the target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) provided by Seller or its Subsidiaries to such Selected Sales Employee immediately prior to the Closing; (C) retirement, medical, health and welfare benefits (or the equivalent value thereof) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided by Buyer to its employees who are similarly situated to the Selected Sales Employees immediately prior to the Closing; and (D) severance benefits, to the extent applicable, that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided by Buyer to its employees who are similarly situated to the Selected Sales Employees immediately prior to the Closing (collectively, the Sales Offer Standards). For purposes of clarity, the Sales Offer Standards do not include offer of employment to be in the same location as immediately prior to Closing.
(b) Upon execution of this Agreement, and prior to the Closing, Seller shall make the Business Employees that are not Selected Sales Employees as set forth in Section 6.02(a)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules (the Other Employees) reasonably available to Buyer for interviews. Buyer shall make offers of employment to each Other Employee whom Buyer selects in its sole discretion (an Other Selected Employee), with such employment to begin upon Closing.
(c) To the extent that Buyer offers employment to a Business Employee and such employee accepts employment with Buyer, then for twelve (12) months following the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to provide each Transferred Employee the compensation required by Section 6.02(a)(ii)(A)-(B) and Section 6.02(b)(ii)(A)-(B), as applicable; provided, however, unless specifically made otherwise by written agreement between Buyer and Transferred Employee, all employment of Transferred Employee by Buyer shall be on an at will basis such that Buyer may change the non-compensation terms of employment of any Transferred Employee and/or separate any Transferred Employee for any or no reason.
(d) With respect to any employee benefit plan, including severance benefits, vacation and paid time-off plans, policies or practices sponsored or maintained by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer (collectively, the Buyer Benefit Plans) for the benefit of any Transferred Employee, effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to, recognize all service of each Transferred Employee with Seller, an Affiliate of Seller or their respective predecessors, as if such service were with Buyer for all purposes, including vesting, eligibility, level of benefits and accrual purposes; provided, however, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer does not assume, and Seller shall be fully responsible for the payment of, any accrued payroll, vacation or sick pay or severance or accrued but unpaid bonuses, all obligations under any equity based compensation program or other benefits (including all Taxes with respect to such payments) related to any Transferred Employee prior to the Closing Date.
(e) Effective as of the Closing, the Transferred Employees shall cease active participation in any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by Seller or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the Seller Benefit Plans). Seller shall remain liable for all eligible claims for benefits under the Seller Benefit Plans that are incurred prior to the Closing.
(f) Effective as of the Closing or as soon thereafter as Buyer is able utilizing commercially reasonable efforts, Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to, have in effect a defined contribution plan that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the Buyer 401(k) Plan) in which Transferred Employees who meet the eligibility criteria thereof shall immediately be eligible to participate. Buyer agrees to cause the Buyer 401(k) Plan to accept eligible rollovers and transfers by Transferred Employees from the applicable Seller defined contribution plan, including any promissory notes evidencing outstanding loans. Buyer agrees that it will cause any Third Party administrators of the Buyer 401(k) Plan to accept any rollovers or transfers contemplated pursuant to this Section 6.02(e) no later than thirty (30) days following the date that Buyer or such Third Party administrator receives the documentation necessary to process such rollovers or transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be obligated to accept rollovers or transfers of Roth 401(k) balances.
(g) Buyer and Seller intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement should not constitute a separation, termination or severance of employment of any Transferred Employee who accepts an employment offer by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer on terms required by Section 6.02(a) or (b), including for purposes of any Seller Benefit Plan that provides for separation, termination or severance benefits, and that each such Transferred Employee will have continuous employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing. Except as otherwise provided herein, Seller shall be liable and hold Buyer harmless for: (i) any liability arising under the WARN Act (and any similar state law) and any statutory, common law, contractual or other severance with respect to any Other Employee who is not offered employment by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer on terms required by Section 6.02(a); and (ii) any claims relating to the employment of any Business Employee prior to the Closing. Seller shall be liable and hold Buyer harmless for any statutory, common law, contractual or other severance with respect to any Business Employee (other than the Selected Sales Employees) who does not receive a job offer from Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer or who declines a job offer from Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer which job offer meets the Sales Offer Standards or the Other Offer Standards, as applicable.
Transferred Employees salary or transfer to each Transferred Employees pension, life insurance or incapacity insurance all amounts that Seller is legally required or contractually obligated to withhold, deduct or transfer, and Seller shall duly pay such amounts to the appropriate fund or funds.
(i) Nothing in this Section 6.02, express or implied, shall (i) be treated as the establishment, amendment or modification of any Seller Benefit Plan or constitute a limitation on rights to amend, modify, merge or terminate any Seller Benefit Plan before, on or after the Closing, (ii) limit the rights of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer to terminate the employment of any individual at any time or for any reason, or (iii) except as provided in Section 6.02(c), confer any rights to any Business Employee.
(j) Except as set forth in Section 6.02(j) of the Disclosure Schedule, after the Closing Date, (i) Buyer shall be responsible for all severance costs, if any, payable to any Transferred Employees and (ii) Seller shall be responsible for all severance costs payable, if any, to Business Employees that are not Transferred Employees.
Section 6.03 Confidentiality. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, information by the other Party in connection with the Transaction Documents (including the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents). Following the Closing, Confidential Information (as defined in the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement), to the extent it relates exclusively to the Business, including the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, shall become the Confidential Information of Buyer and the terms of the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement as it relates to such information shall no longer apply to Buyer; however, Seller shall comply with the terms of the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement with regards to such information as Buyers Confidential Information. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 6.03 shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.
Section 6.04 Governmental Approvals and Consents.
(a) Each Party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, Governmental Orders and approvals from all Governmental Authorities that may be or may become necessary for such Partys execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of such Partys obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Seller and Buyer mutually commit to instruct their respective counsel to cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, Governmental Orders and approvals. The Parties shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any such consents, authorizations, Governmental Orders and approvals.
(b) If required by the HSR Act, each Party hereto agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to file the appropriate Notification and Report Form and related material required under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authority any additional information and documentary material that may be requested in connection therewith by the United States Federal Trade Commission or the United States Department of Justice pursuant to the HSR Act. Buyer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain or make, as applicable, all consents of, and all filings with, any Governmental Authority required to be obtained or made by Buyer under any antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority of the United States so as to enable the parties to expeditiously close the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer, subject to good faith consultation with Seller, shall be entitled to direct any proceedings or negotiations with any Governmental Authority, including any communications and meetings with or written submissions to any Governmental Authority with respect to all consents of, and all filings with, any Governmental Authority required to be obtained or made by Buyer under any antitrust Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will Buyer or any of its Affiliates be obligated to propose, or agree to accept, any undertaking or condition, to enter into any consent decree, to make any divestiture, to accept any operational restriction, or take any other action that, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer, could be expected to materially limit the right of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to own or operate all or any portion of its respective businesses or assets or, after the Closing, to own or operate all or any portion of the Business.
(c) Seller and Buyer shall supply each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications with any antitrust Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any antitrust Governmental Authority, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any related or contemplated transactions, including but not limited to documents filed pursuant to Item 4(c) of the Notification and Report Form or communications regarding the same; provided, however, that to extent any of the documents or information are commercially or competitively sensitive, a party may satisfy its obligations by providing such documents or information to the other partys outside antitrust counsel, with the understanding that such antitrust counsel shall not share such documents and information with its client. Each Party shall give notice to the other Party with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any anti-trust Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any anti-trust Governmental Authority.
applicable agreements requiring consent from such third parties, and (iii) executing agreements to affect the assumption of such agreements on or before the Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any Third Party from whom consent or approval is required or requested.
(e) Seller shall submit the Seller FDA Letters for each Product two (2) Business Days following the Closing Date. Seller will provide to Buyer each electronic confirmation promptly upon receipt of such confirmation from FDA, but in any event within three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date.
Section 6.05 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no Party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement.
(j) settle any litigation controlled by Seller relating to the Intellectual Property Assets.
(a) Commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not (and shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to), anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any other manner design, develop, commercialize, package, manufacture and label, market, distribute, or sell any product that (i) is therapeutically equivalent to a Product; or (ii) is for the following indications: (A) peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL); (B) conditioning treatment prior to hematopoietic progenitor (stem) cell transplantation; or (C) methotrexate/ 5-flourouracil toxicity; provided that the foregoing restrictions shall expire and be of no force or effect in the event Seller consummates a Change of Control.

Section 6.08 Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer; provided, however, that Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any Losses incurred by Buyer caused by or as a result of the failure to comply with any such provisions.
Section 6.09 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) that arise out of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (the Transfer Taxes) shall be shared 50/50 between Buyer and Seller when due, except for those Transfer Taxes for which Buyer would have a valid exemption if applied for by Buyer, in which case any such Transfer Taxes shall be borne solely by Buyer. Buyer and Seller agree that any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes shall be filed by the party required by applicable Law to file such Tax Returns and the other party shall cooperate in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns.

(a) Allocation of Taxes for a Straddle Period. For all purposes of this Agreement, Taxes for any taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (each, a Straddle Period) shall be allocated between the portion of such Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date (the Pre-Closing Tax Period) and the portion of such Straddle Period that begins after the Closing Date (the Post-Closing Tax Period) as follows: (i) any such real property, personal property or similar ad valorem Tax shall be prorated based on the relative number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and Post-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period; and (ii) any Tax not described in clause (i) above shall be allocated based on an interim closing of the books as of the Closing Date.
(b) Cooperation. Buyer, Seller and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other parties, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other Tax claim or proceeding.

Section 6.13 Retained Information. Seller shall, at the reasonable request of Buyer, provide copies of the Retained Information to Buyer; provided that such copies may be redacted by Seller to the extent that such Retained Information relates to products (other than the Products) and businesses owned or operated by Seller.
Section 6.14 Other Covenant. The Parties shall undertake the obligations set forth in Section 6.14 of the Disclosure Schedules.

(b) None of the covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date other than those covenants, agreements and other obligations which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant, agreement or other obligation shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by its terms.
(c) Any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity and in writing by notice from the non-breaching Party to the breaching Party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period of the relevant representation and warranty pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or covenant, agreement or other obligation pursuant to Section 8.01(b) shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

(d) Sellers performance of the Distribution Contract Support Services and any related services reasonably necessary to support such performance; provided, however, that Buyer shall have no such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless to the extent that the Losses for which Seller is seeking indemnification were caused by Sellers gross negligence, violation of Law, or material breach of any provision in Section 2.08(d).
Section 8.02(d), Section 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b) exceeds $1,000,000, at which point, the full amount of all Losses starting at the first dollar shall be recoverable. With respect to any claim as to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.02(a), Section 8.02(b), Section 8.02(d), Section 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b), as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual Loss which does not exceed or Losses in the aggregate which do not exceed $100,000. The limitations set forth in this Section 8.04(a) shall not apply to any indemnification obligations arising under Section 8.02(a) with respect to inaccuracies in or breaches of the Fundamental Representations or in the event of actual fraud or indemnification under Section 8.02(c).
(b) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.02(a), Section 8.02(b), Section 8.02(d), Section 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b), as the case may be, shall not exceed twelve percent (12%) of the Upfront Purchase Price (the Cap); provided, however, that the Cap shall not apply to any indemnification obligations arising under Section 8.02(a) with respect to inaccuracies in or breaches of the Fundamental Representations or in the event of actual fraud or indemnification under Section 8.02(c).
(c) With respect to any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 4.06(e) and Section 4.06(f) caused by Seller failing to list a Contract and/or PO required to be listed on Section 4.06(e) and/or Section 4.06(f) of the Disclosure Schedules for the purpose of goods and/or services, the Loss shall be deemed to be the lesser of: (i) the total amount due under such Contract or PO or (ii) the amount of the cancellation fee or penalty actually paid by Buyer to the contracting Third Party in connection with the cancellation or termination of any such Contract and/or PO.
(d) The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.
(e) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit realized or reasonably expected to be realized as a result of such Loss by the Indemnified Party.
(f) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.
(g) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto to the extent required by applicable Law.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not have any right to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to, or based upon, Taxes that (i) are attributable to a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, (ii) are due to the unavailability in any taxable period (or portion thereof) of any Tax attribute, (iii) result from transactions or actions outside the ordinary course of business taken by Buyer or any of its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date, or (iv) do not arise from a Third Party Claim.
(a) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a Direct Claim) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve, waive or otherwise release the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent that such failure to notify materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party, and then, only to the extent of such prejudice. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Partys investigation by giving such information and assistance (including the right to examine any documents or records exclusively related to such Direct Claim) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case 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.
Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in or, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Partys expense and by the Indemnifying Partys own recognized and reputable counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that (i) prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming control of such defense it shall first verify to the Indemnified Party in writing that such Indemnifying Party shall be fully responsible (with no reservation of any rights) for all Losses relating to such Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) if (A) such Third Party Claim involves criminal liability, (B) such Third Party Claim involves a customer or supplier of the Indemnified Party or its business or if an adverse determination with respect to such Third Party Claim could reasonably be expected to be materially detrimental to or injure the Indemnifying Partys reputation or business prospects, (C) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or its business and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that such injunction or equitable relief would materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party or its business, (D) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived with respect to such Third Party Claim, or (E) the Losses relating to such Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to exceed the maximum amount that the Indemnified Party would be entitled to recover under this Article VIII. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(c), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Partys right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(c), pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.03) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing to the defending Party of management employees of the non-defending Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
(c) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such settlement or judgment will result in the Indemnified Party being liable for an amount of Losses which are not indemnified hereunder that are in excess of the amounts for which the Indemnified Party is indemnified hereunder and except as provided in this Section 8.05(c). If a firm settlement offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation or any harm whatsoever on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such settlement offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such settlement offer within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such settlement offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such settlement offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(b), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Section 8.06 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
Section 8.07 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 10.12, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.07 shall limit any Persons right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 10.12 or to seek any remedy on account of any fraud by either Party or their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives.
(a) At any time before the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing (the Escrow Period), if Buyer determines on a commercially reasonable basis that a PO should be cancelled and such cancellation results in Buyers incurrence of any cancellation fees or penalties, Buyer may seek withdrawal of funds from the Escrow Fund, by providing documentary evidence of the cancellation fee or penalty that Buyer was required to pay for cancellation of the PO. For clarity, Buyer may not seek withdrawal of funds from the Escrow Fund with respect to a particular PO if Buyer obtains indemnification under Section 8.02(a) with respect to such PO.
(b) Within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Escrow Period (the Escrow Release Date), Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver to Escrow Agent written instructions instructing Escrow Agent to release and deliver to Seller the balance of the Escrow Fund (and all earnings thereon).
(d) by Seller upon written notice to Buyer if Seller is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer pursuant to Article V or Article VI, which (i) would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.03(a) or Section 7.03(b) to be satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) and (ii) is not capable of being cured prior to the Drop Dead Date.

Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the rights and obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement or other Transaction Documents and the rights and obligations arising hereunder or thereunder brought by the other Party or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware, or, if both the Delaware Court of Chancery and the federal courts within the State of Delaware decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other state court within the State of Delaware, and, in each case, any appellate court therefrom. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such Legal Proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Legal Proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby: (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 10.10; (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise); and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the Legal Proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Legal Proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Buyer agrees that if Seller obtains a judgment against Buyer in any of the foregoing courts arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, Seller may bring an action with respect to the recognition and enforcement thereof in a court in any jurisdiction whatsoever, and Buyer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, any contention that such judgment of any of the foregoing courts may not be recognized or enforced in whole or in part.
FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.
Section 10.12 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and expressly agrees that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate such Party for any breach by the other Party or any of the other Partys Affiliates of any covenants and agreements set forth herein. Accordingly, each Party agrees and acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by a Party or a Partys Affiliates will cause irreparable injury to the other Party and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law, in equity or otherwise, the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance and other injunctive relief against the continued breach of this Agreement or the threatened breach thereof, without the necessity of proving actual damages. Each Party also agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with obtaining a Party obtaining specific performance or other equitable relief pursuant to this Section 10.12. No equitable remedies referred to above will be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for a breach of this Agreement, but rather will be in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity to the Parties.
Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
Section 10.14 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to each such Party. Except as set forth in Section 10.6 of this Agreement, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any Party or of any Affiliate of any Party, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any Party under this Agreement or for any claim, action, suit or other Legal Proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(a) Parent Guarantor has all necessary corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the Obligation. The execution and delivery by Parent Guarantor of this Agreement, the performance by Parent Guarantor of its Obligation and the consummation by Parent Guarantor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of Parent Guarantor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent Guarantor, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent Guarantor solely with respect to the Obligation, enforceable against Parent Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(b) As of the Closing, Parent Guarantor shall have sufficient cash on hand or other sources of immediately available funds to enable it to fulfill the Obligation and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, Parent Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Seller and solely with respect to the Obligations: (i) any right to require Seller, as a condition of performance by Parent Guarantor, to (A) proceed against Buyer or any other Person, or (B) pursue any other remedy in the power of Seller whatsoever; (ii) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Buyer including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Buyer from any cause other than complete performance of the Obligations; (iii) (A) any principles or provisions of Law that are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Section 11.02 and any legal or equitable discharge of the Obligations hereunder, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Parent Guarantors liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that Seller protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (iv) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default under the Agreement or any Transaction Documents or any agreement or instrument related hereto or thereto; and (v) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms of the Obligations hereunder. This Section 11.02 shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the successors and permitted assigns of Parent Guarantor.
