Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date The Company or the Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Returns of the Company for Tax periods that begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. To the extent such Taxes are not fully reserved for in the Company’s financial statements, the Sellers shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the unreserved portion of such Taxes that relates to the portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date.

Short Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof Each Purchaser severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any Short Sales during the period commencing at the Discussion Time and ending at the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.6. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statement with the Securities is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser's assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
Confidentiality; Press Releases (a) Reliant and ASL will be exchanging confidential and proprietary information relating to the Active Ingredient and Products and their respective businesses at the inception of and from time to time during the term of this Agreement.

Such obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information which (i) is known to the receiving party prior to the disclosure, (ii) is publicly known as of the date of the disclosure, (iii) becomes publicly known after the date of disclosure through no fault of the receiving party, (iv) is received from a third party who has no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party or (v) is developed independently by or for the receiving party.

(c) Except as may be required by applicable laws, rules or regulations (including in connection with a public offering of securities), neither party will originate any publicity, news release, or other public announcement, written or oral, whether to the public press or otherwise, relating to this Agreement, any amendment hereto or to performance hereunder, or the existence of an arrangement between the parties, without the prior written approval of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood that such obligation is not intended to restrict either party’s ability to promote, market and sell the Products or its services in a commercially reasonable manner). In the event disclosure is required by applicable law, rules or regulations, then the party required to so disclose such information shall, to the extent possible, provide to the other party for its approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) a written copy of such public announcement at least ten (10) business days prior to disclosure. In the absence of a communication approving or disapproving of the public announcement from the party with the right of approval by the end of such ten (10) day period, such party shall be deemed to have approved the public announcement.
Final Adjustment After Closing If final bills are not available or cannot be issued prior to Closing for any item being prorated under Section 8.1, then Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as such bills are available, final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within thirty (30) days of written notice. All such rights and obligations shall survive the Closing.

Any new lease shall be on Buyer's customary form (which may vary to reflect customary negotiated revisions thereto), or such other form which is reasonably acceptable to Buyer. Further, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, which Buyer agrees it shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay, or as set forth above, Seller shall not amend, extend (except where required under the terms of the Lease in question), terminate (except by reason of a tenant's default), accept surrender of, or permit any assignments or subleases of, any of the Leases (except as may be required under such Lease), nor accept any rental more than one (1) month in advance (exclusive of any security deposit).
