THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 21, 2020, is made by and between Xxxxxxxxx Pharma Limited, a company organized under the laws of Ireland (the “Purchaser”), and AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article XI. In this Agreement, the Seller and the Purchaser are individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, the Seller owns, licenses or otherwise holds certain rights to manufacture, package, promote, market, sell, distribute and/or otherwise commercialize the Products in the Territory and other assets related to the Business; and
WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver the Transferred Assets, and the Purchaser desires to purchase the Transferred Assets and assume or cause certain of its Affiliates to assume certain liabilities related to the Business, in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
4
Article I.
SALE AND PURCHASE OF ASSETS, ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES
1.01 Transferred Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Seller agrees to sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to the Purchaser at the Closing (other than the Co-Pay Contracts, which shall be transferred following the Closing on a date mutually agreed by the Parties), and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, acquire and accept delivery from the Seller all of the Seller’s rights, title and interests in, to and under the Transferred Assets (other than the Co-Pay Contracts, which shall be transferred following the Closing on a date mutually agreed by the Parties), in each case free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.
1.02 Excluded Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to transfer from the Seller, create any obligation on the Seller to transfer or cause to have transferred any rights, title or interests in or to any of the Excluded Assets, or create any Liability on the part of the Purchaser with respect thereto.
1.03 Assumed Liabilities. Effective at the Closing and from and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall assume or cause its applicable Affiliates to assume the Assumed Liabilities and shall agree to satisfy and discharge when due the liabilities and obligations of Seller and its Affiliates in respect of the Assumed Liabilities. After the Closing, the Purchaser shall be liable to pay, perform and discharge when due all Assumed Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any Assumed Liability has been paid by the Seller, the Purchaser shall, subject to receipt of satisfactory evidence of the Seller’s payment thereof, promptly reimburse the Seller for such amounts.
1.04 Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Seller shall retain and be responsible for all Excluded Liabilities, and, as the case may be, their payment, performance and discharge when due. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any Excluded Liability has been paid by the Purchaser, the Seller shall, subject to receipt of satisfactory evidence of the Purchaser’s payment thereof, promptly reimburse the Purchaser for such amounts.
1.05 Business Transfer Documents. To the extent required under applicable Law or as reasonably deemed necessary by either of the Parties, to effect the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Parties shall execute and deliver, or cause their respective Affiliates to execute and deliver, such asset and/or business transfer agreements, bills of sale, deeds, assignments, assumptions and other documents and instruments of sale, conveyance, assignment, novation, transfer and assumption (the “Business Transfer Documents”) as are necessary to effect any transfer of the Transferred Assets or related Assumed Liability at the Closing or any assumption of the Assumed Liabilities at the Closing. The Business Transfer Documents shall be in form and substance reasonably agreed to by the Parties and as is usual and customary in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that the Parties agree and acknowledge that the Business Transfer Documents are intended solely to formalize the terms and conditions of this Agreement in order to comply with any applicable Law and shall be, in all respects, consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and a Business Transfer Document, this Agreement shall control to the extent it would not be incompatible with applicable Law.

Article II.

(b)a duly executed counterpart to each Ancillary Agreement;
(c)a DVD, CD-ROMs or other digital media imprinted with all documents or information available to the Purchaser as of the date hereof in the Data Room;

Article III.
PURCHASE PRICE
3.01 Upfront Consideration. In consideration for the purchase and sale of the Transferred Assets and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, the Purchaser hereby agrees to pay the Seller an amount equal to (i) the Closing Cash Consideration, plus (ii) the Purchaser Portion of PDUFA Fees, less (iv) the RWI Payment.
3.02 Contingent Consideration.
(a)Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Purchaser shall pay to Seller, as additional consideration for the Transferred Assets, the non-refundable and non-creditable cash payment in the amount set forth in the following milestone payments table, such payments to be made within sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable Calendar Quarter in which each applicable threshold below is achieved (each, a “Milestone Payment”):
Milestone Event | Milestone Payment | ||||
The first time Net Sales during any consecutive twelve (12) month period is greater than or equal to $65 million | $25 million | ||||
The first time Net Sales during any consecutive twelve (12) month period is greater than or equal to $115 million | $35 million | ||||
The first time Net Sales during any consecutive twelve (12) month period is greater than or equal to $175 million | $45 million |
For the avoidance of doubt, (x) each of the Milestone Payments shall become payable upon the occurrence of the associated milestone event, irrespective of the order in which the milestone events occur relative to each other (for example, if the first time Net Sales during any consecutive twelve (12) month period reach $175 million or greater, is also the first time Net Sales during any consecutive twelve (12) month period reach $65 million or greater, all three Milestone Payments shall become payable) and (y) each of the Milestone Payments shall be payable one (1) time only.
(b)Written Report. Purchaser shall prepare quarterly written statements that set forth the calculation of Net Sales with respect to each Calendar Quarter, commencing with the Calendar Quarter ending June 30, 2020 (the “Quarterly Reports”). Purchaser shall deliver such Quarterly Reports to Seller within forty-five (45) days of the end of the applicable Calendar Quarter. All payments, if any, shall be accompanied by a written report setting forth for the applicable twelve-month period the calculation of Net Sales and the payment due hereunder.
(c)Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to market, promote, and otherwise Commercialize (as defined in the License Agreement) the Product in the Territory, as required pursuant to the License Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not take
7
any action or fail to take any action with the sole intent of avoiding or reducing the payment of any Milestone Payments. Purchaser shall have sole discretion with respect to all matters relating to the commercialization of the Product.
(d)Record-Keeping. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep true, accurate and complete books and records pertaining to Net Sales in sufficient detail to calculate all amounts payable hereunder, to evaluate and verify the accuracy of such calculations and to verify compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. Such books and records shall be retained by Purchaser and its Affiliates in accordance with its record retention policies applicable to such books and records. Such books and records shall be kept for a period of no less than three (3) years following the end of the calendar year to which they shall pertain.
(e)Audits. At the request of Seller, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, permit Seller or an independent auditor designated by Seller, at reasonable times once each calendar year and upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, to audit the books and records maintained pursuant to Section 3.02 to ensure the accuracy of all reports and payments made hereunder. No time period may be audited more than one time. The cost of such audit shall be borne by Seller; provided that if such audit reveals (after resolution of any applicable dispute pursuant to Section 3.02(f)) that a Milestone Payment was owed and improperly withheld, Purchaser shall bear the entire cost of such audit and remit the omitted Milestone Payment within forty-five (45) days after the date on which such audit is completed by Seller.
(f)Audit Disputes. In the event of a dispute with respect to any audit under Section 3.02(e), Seller and Purchaser shall work in good faith to resolve the disagreement. If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such dispute within thirty (30) days, the dispute shall be submitted for resolution to the Valuation Firm. Absent manifest error, the decision of the Valuation Firm shall be final. In the event the Valuation Firm determines that a Milestone Payment was owed and improperly withheld, Purchaser shall bear the entire cost of the Valuation Firm. Otherwise, the cost of the Valuation Firm shall be borne by Seller.
3.03 Purchase Price Adjustment. Within three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a schedule setting forth its good faith estimates of (a) the value of the Saleable Inventory in respect of Inventory as of the Closing (as of 11:59 P.M., local time, on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date) (the “Estimated Saleable Inventory”), and (b) Purchase Price Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Purchase Price Adjustment Amount”), together with a schedule calculating in reasonable detail such amounts.
3.04 Final Purchase Price Adjustment Amount Calculation.
(a)As promptly as possible following the Closing, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will deliver to the Seller a statement showing the calculation of Saleable Inventory and Purchase Price Adjustment Amount (the “Preliminary Statement”). The calculations of Saleable Inventory and Purchase Price Adjustment Amount shall be determined (including for purposes of Section 3.03)
8
in accordance with GAAP using the same accounting methods, policies, principles, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodology, as were used in the preparation of the calculation of Purchase Price Adjustment Amount set forth on Exhibit A and, to the extent not specified on Exhibit A, in accordance with Seller’s internal inventory policies as of the date of this Agreement, and shall not include any changes as a result of purchase accounting adjustments (related to the transactions contemplated hereby) or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties agree that the purpose of determining Saleable Inventory and Purchase Price Adjustment Amount and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 3.04 is to measure the amount of Saleable Inventory and Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of determining Saleable Inventory or Purchase Price Adjustment Amount.
(b)After delivery of the Preliminary Statement, the Purchaser shall provide the Seller and its accountants and other representatives full access to review the Purchaser’s and its Subsidiaries’ applicable books and records and any work papers related to the preparation of the Preliminary Statement. The Seller and its accountants and other representatives may make inquiries of the Purchaser and its accountants regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Preliminary Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and the Purchaser shall use its, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use their, commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such accountants to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries. If the Seller has any objections to the Preliminary Statement, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a statement setting forth in reasonable detail each objected item or amount and the basis for such objection, together with supporting calculations (an “Objections Statement”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to the Purchaser within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Preliminary Statement to the Seller, the Preliminary Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties.
(c)The Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, the Seller and the Purchaser shall submit such dispute to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx (the “Valuation Firm”). Any further submissions to the Valuation Firm must be written and delivered to each party to the dispute. The Valuation Firm shall make a final determination of Saleable Inventory and Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, and the resulting Final Cash Consideration calculated with reference to such amounts to the extent such amounts are in dispute, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement and on Exhibit B. The parties will cooperate with the Valuation Firm during the term of its engagement. The Valuation Firm shall only have authority to make determinations in respect of those specific items for which an objection has been raised in the Objections Statement, and all determinations shall be based solely on the presentations of the Purchaser and Seller and their respective representatives, and not by independent review. In resolving any
9
disputed item, the Valuation Firm: (i) shall be bound by the principles set forth in this Section 3.04, and (ii) shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party. The determination of Saleable Inventory and Purchase Price Adjustment Amount as of the Closing Date, and the resulting Final Cash Consideration calculated with reference thereto, shall become final and binding on the parties on the date the Valuation Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to the parties. Such Valuation Firm will determine each of Seller’s and Purchaser’s allocation of its fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing based on the inverse of the percentage its determination bears to the total amount of the disputed matters originally submitted to it. For example, solely for illustrative purposes, should the disputed matters amount to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and such Valuation Firm awards Six Hundred Dollars ($600) in favor of Seller’s position, sixty percent (60%) of such fees and expenses would be borne by Purchaser and forty percent (40%) of such fees and expenses would be borne by Seller.
3.05 Post-Closing Adjustment Payment. If the Final Cash Consideration is greater than the Closing Cash Consideration, the Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days in the determination thereof) pay to the Seller the amount of such excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Seller to the Purchaser. If the Final Cash Consideration is less than the Closing Cash Consideration, the Seller shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) pay to the Purchaser the absolute value of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Purchaser to the Seller.
3.06 Withholding. The Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to the Seller such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event any such deduction or withholding with respect to the making of any payment by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement is required under applicable Law of the jurisdiction of incorporation or tax domicile of Purchaser or any of its successors or assigns pursuant to Section 12.05 (including without limitation the Republic of Ireland), or any branch thereof, Purchaser (or such successor, assign or branch thereof) shall increase the amount payable pursuant to this Agreement as necessary so that after any such deduction or withholding has been made, including with respect to amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.06, the Seller receives the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. To the extent the Seller obtains any actual cash tax benefits from a tax refund of or tax deduction directly related to some or all of such grossed-up amount (including any refund or reduction in taxes otherwise owed recovered by way of a foreign tax credit or such tax deduction by Seller), then Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or such successor, assign or branch thereof) to the extent of such benefit that is actually recognized by Seller and to the extent that would not place Seller in a net after-tax worse position. The Purchaser shall make such required deductions and timely pay the full amount deducted to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law, and deliver to the Seller an original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser will provide written notice to the Seller promptly upon determination that withholding may be required on any payments under this Agreement and take such steps as the Seller may reasonably request and otherwise cooperate with the Seller to reduce or eliminate such deduction
10
and withholding requirement. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by the Purchaser and paid to the applicable Governmental Entity, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Purchaser.
3.07 Transfer Taxes and Other Costs.
(a)Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes payable on or in connection with the transfer of the Transferred Assets to the Purchaser and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne equally by the Parties. Purchaser shall pay the Transfer Taxes when due in compliance with applicable Transfer Tax Laws; provided that if the Seller determines (in its sole reasonable discretion) that it is required by applicable Law to pay any Transfer Taxes, then the Seller shall pay such Transfer Taxes. The Party not paying the Transfer Taxes shall, subject to receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of the other Party’s payment thereof, promptly reimburse the other Party for its share of the Transfer Taxes, whether or not such Transfer Taxes were correctly or legally imposed by the applicable Governmental Entity.
(b)The party responsible under applicable Law for filing the applicable Tax Return with respect to such Transfer Tax shall prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed by it with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the Parties will, and will cause their applicable Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. The Seller and the Purchaser agree to cooperate with each other in the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes and to use commercially reasonable efforts to avail themselves of any available procedures or certifications to reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes, including by promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such Tax Returns and other documentation.
(c)Other Costs. All costs and fees, including, without limitation, shipping and delivery costs, incurred by the Seller and any of its Affiliates related or necessary to prepare and transfer the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, shall be the obligations of and paid solely by the Purchaser when due; provided that if any such costs or fees have been paid by the Seller, the Purchaser shall, subject to receipt of satisfactory evidence of the Seller’s payment thereof, promptly reimburse the Seller for such amounts; and provided, however, that such costs and fees shall not include costs, fees and expenses (i) addressed elsewhere in the Agreement (for example, Transfer Taxes) or (ii) in connection with the negotiation, execution and consummation of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.
(d)All costs and expenses associated with removing and moving any Transferred Asset to a location designated by the Purchaser shall be borne and paid solely by the Purchaser when due; provided that if any such amount shall be incurred by the Seller at the direction and with the consent of Purchaser, the Purchaser shall, subject to receipt of satisfactory evidence of the Seller’s payment thereof, promptly reimburse the Seller.
11
3.08 Tax Treatment; Allocation of the Consideration. For income Tax purposes the Parties intend that the transactions pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a taxable sale of the Transferred Assets in exchange for the Closing Cash Consideration, the Assumed Liabilities, the Purchaser Portion of PDUFA Fees and the right to receive Milestone Payment (except the portion thereof that may be reported as imputed interest) (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Parties shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and shall not take any Tax position that is otherwise inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, unless otherwise required to do so by a Taxing Authority following an audit or examination in which the Intended Tax Treatment has been defended in good faith. The Parties have agreed that the Purchaser shall prepare a draft allocation schedule allocating the Closing Cash Consideration, the Assumed Liabilities and other relevant items among the Transferred Assets in accordance with the rules under Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Draft Allocation”). The Purchaser shall deliver the Draft Allocation to the Seller for review and comment within thirty (30) calendar days after the final determination of the Final Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 3.04. If the Seller disagrees with the Draft Allocation, the Seller may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Draft Allocation, deliver a written notice (an “Allocation Notice”) to Purchaser to such effect, specifying those items as to which Seller disagrees and setting forth Seller’s proposed Draft Allocation. If an Allocation Notice is timely delivered, Seller and Purchaser shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation pursuant to this Section 3.08. In the event that an agreement as to the allocation pursuant to this Section 3.08 is not reached within such thirty (30) day period, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly retain the Valuation Firm to resolve the disputed items. The costs, fees and expenses of the Valuation Firm in connection with any disputed items pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be borne fifty-percent (50%) by Seller and fifty-percent (50%) by Purchaser.

The Parties acknowledge and agree 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 of any Ancillary Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Section 7.05 and the provisions of the relevant Ancillary Agreement (including any provisions thereof related to the collection of accounts receivable), the provisions of the relevant Ancillary Agreement shall control.

7.07 Mutual Non-Solicitation. From and after the Closing Date, the Seller and the Purchaser each agree that they shall not, and they shall each cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to not, for a period of one (1) year after such Closing Date, directly or indirectly, encourage, induce, or solicit (a) in the case of Seller, any employee to leave employment with the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (b) in the case of the Purchaser, any employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates to leave employment with the Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided that this clause shall not preclude the Seller, the Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates from (i) posting a general solicitation through a public medium or general or mass mailing by or on behalf of the Seller, the Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as applicable, that is not targeted at employees of such other party or (ii) soliciting any terminated employee of such other party so long as such former employee has been terminated from the employment with the Seller, the Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as applicable.
7.08 Noncompete. During the period set forth in Schedule 7.08, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, including through merger, acquisition or similar transaction (a) market, manufacture, sell, distribute, or otherwise commercialize any pharmaceutical product as a monotherapy with the same indications and the same active pharmaceutical ingredient as the Product as of the date hereof (“Competing Product”) anywhere in the Territory, or (b) undertake the planning or organization of any activity to market, manufacture, sell, distribute, or otherwise commercialize any Competing Product or assist or cooperate in any way with any other Person to market, manufacture, sell, distribute, or otherwise commercialize any Competing Product, anywhere in the Territory; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Seller and its Affiliates from, and the Seller and its Affiliates shall have no liability to the Purchaser under this paragraph in connection with, (i) acquiring (including by merger or consolidation) a Person or substantially all of the assets of a Person engaged in the development, marketing, manufacturing, selling, distribution, or commercialization of a Competing Product, provided that such Person’s Competing Product represents less than thirty percent (30%) of that Person’s total assets or gross sales; (ii) continuing the operations of a Person or a business acquired pursuant to the prior clause (i) in the ordinary course of such Person’s or assets’ business consistent with their past practices; (iii) beneficially owning up to five percent (5%) of the total equity interests outstanding of any Person engaged in the development and/or commercialization of a Competing Product; (iv) issuing equity to and/or accepting an investment from a Person directly or indirectly engaged in the development, marketing, manufacturing, selling, distribution, or commercialization of a Competing Product or (v) performing its obligations under those

7.09 Insurance. The coverage under all insurance policies related to the Transferred Assets and the Business and arranged or maintained by Seller or its Affiliates is only for the benefit of Seller and its Affiliates, and not for the benefit of the Purchaser or the Business, and shall continue in force only for the benefit of the Seller or any of its Affiliates following the Closing; provided, however, the foregoing in no way limits or restricts Purchaser’s rights or Seller’s obligations under Article VIII. From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall arrange for its own insurance policies with respect to the Transferred Assets and the Business, and Purchaser shall have no recourse or rights to any coverage under any of the Seller’s or its Affiliates’ insurance policies, including for any claims relating in any way to the Transferred Assets or the Business. With respect to insurance policies related to the Transferred Assets and the Business, Seller shall not (a) take any actions, other than file bona fide claims, which would make a policy void or voidable or prejudice the ability to effect equivalent insurance in the future, and (b) fail to maintain its insurance coverage, pay premiums, and report claims to its insurance carrier in a timely matter until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date.
7.10 Recalled Products.
(a)From and after the transfer of the Marketing Authorizations, each Party shall notify the other as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of any adulteration, misbranding, contamination of or other latent defect in (i) the Product bearing Seller’s NDC Code sold prior to the Closing, or (ii) any Saleable Inventory (each of the foregoing described in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Relevant Product”). If a Governmental Entity issues a warning letter or threatens or commences a Proceeding (including seeking an injunction) in relation to, seizes, or requests or requires a recall of a Relevant Product, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the other Party of the action, seizure, request or requirement and provide to the other Party a copy of any warning letter or notice given by the Governmental Entity. If an action as described in the foregoing sentence requires response, Purchaser will consult with the Seller prior to providing any information to or otherwise communicating (whether in written or oral form) with the applicable Governmental Entity with respect to the response, and incorporate the reasonable comments of the Seller in connection with providing such information or response, and/or determining the nature, content and scope of that response and will have sole discretion of all procedures and steps in respect of that response, whether or not the response is to be given by Purchaser or Seller, provided that such procedures and steps are reasonable and in compliance with applicable Laws.
(b)From and after the transfer of the Marketing Authorizations, except as otherwise provided in any Transferred Contract, Purchaser shall have the right, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, to decide whether to undertake a recall of Product voluntarily, and the nature, level and scope of, and all steps and procedures with respect to, any such voluntary recall, subject to and in compliance with applicable Laws;
27
provided that Purchaser shall (i) notify the Seller immediately upon initiation of the consideration of a recall that pertains to Relevant Product, (ii) consult with Seller with respect to such recall that pertains to Relevant Product, including the reasons for and the proposed nature, level and scope of the proposed voluntary recall, prior to initiating, communicating or announcing such recall. If Purchaser determines to recall a Relevant Product, then (A) Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps to affect the recall, in compliance with applicable Laws and (B) Purchaser and Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate the costs of such recall. Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs and expenses (including any costs and expenses of Seller and its Affiliates) with respect to any recalls of Product manufactured and sold after Closing, or recalls of Relevant Product sold after Closing to the extent such recall results from Purchaser’s adulteration, misbranding, contamination, damage or mishandling of such Relevant Product after Closing. Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses (including the reasonable costs and expenses of Purchaser and its Affiliates) to the extent such recall was of Relevant Product, unless such recall results from Purchaser’s adulteration, misbranding, contamination, damage or mishandling of such Relevant Product after Closing, subject to receipt of satisfactory evidence of Seller’s costs and expenses and, if applicable, a summary report of the actions taken by Purchaser in connection with such recall and their effectiveness, for Seller’s books and records.
(c)If a Governmental Entity requires the recall of a Relevant Product, Purchaser shall comply with any notice given by the Governmental Entity with respect to such recall and notify the Seller as soon as practicable after receipt of such notice. Purchaser shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses (including the reasonable costs and expenses of Seller and its Affiliates required to be incurred by Seller and its Affiliates in order to comply with such notice; provided that no such costs and expenses shall be incurred without the prior consent of Purchaser) associated with such recall to the extent the recall is of Product manufactured and sold after Closing, or a recall of Relevant Product sold after Closing to the extent such recall results from Purchaser’s adulteration, misbranding, contamination, damage or mishandling of such Relevant Product after Closing. Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses (including the reasonable costs and expenses of Purchaser and its Affiliates required to be incurred by Buyer and its Affiliates in order to comply with such notice) associated with such recall to the extent the recall is of Relevant Product, unless such recall results from Purchaser’s adulteration, misbranding, contamination, damage or mishandling of such Relevant Product after Closing, subject to receipt of satisfactory evidence of Seller’s costs and expenses and, if applicable, a summary report of the actions taken by Purchaser in connection with such recall and their effectiveness, for Seller’s books and records.
(d)Nothing in this Section 7.10 shall limit the Parties’ respective obligations under the Transition Services Agreement.

Article VIII.
INDEMNIFICATION
8.01 Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing, subject to the limitations in this Article VIII:
(a)Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates (together, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless against any and all Indemnifiable Amounts incurred by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties by reason of or to the extent arising out of:
(i)any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement;
(ii)any Excluded Liabilities;
(iii)any Excluded Assets; and
(iv)the non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement.
8.02 Indemnification by Purchaser.
(a)From and after the Closing, subject to the limitations in this Article VIII, Seller and its respective officers, directors, employees and Affiliates (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless against any and all Indemnifiable Amounts incurred by such Seller Indemnified Parties by reason of or to the extent arising out of:
(i) any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement;
(ii) any Assumed Liabilities;
(iii) the use of any Transferred Assets after the Closing; and
(iv) the non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement.
8.03 Third Party Claims.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, whenever a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Article VIII (the “Indemnified Party”) shall learn that a claim or demand has been asserted or threatened by a Third Party (“Third-Party Claim”) as to which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying
29
Party”) of such claim or demand and of the facts within the Indemnified Party’s knowledge that relate thereto, setting forth in reasonable detail a description of the matter, and, if known, the anticipated Indemnifiable Amounts; provided that the failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure or delay. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim at its cost and expense through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party agrees to assume control of the defense, which, provided that the Indemnified Party promptly notifies the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim, shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party) and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for such Indemnified Parties with respect to such Third-Party Claim if: (i) the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense thereof promptly, but in any event, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice; (ii) the Third-Party Claim (A) seeks material non-monetary, equitable or injunctive relief, (B) alleges violations of criminal law, or (C) includes as the named parties in any such Third-Party Claim both an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party, and either a defense is available to an Indemnified Party that is not available to an Indemnifying Party or applicable ethical guidelines provide that, in either case, it would be inappropriate to have the same counsel represent both parties, or (iii) the insurer under the R&W Policy assumes the defense of such claim pursuant to the R&W Policy. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed such defense as provided in this Section 8.03(a), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.03(a), or is not entitled to do so, the Indemnified Party may continue to defend such claim and the Indemnifying Party may still participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense.
(b)Settlement.
(i) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.03(a), or is not entitled to do so, the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(ii) If the Indemnifying Party assumes and conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.03(a), the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be
30
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim that: (A) involves any action by the Indemnified Party other than the payment of money (which, subject to Section 8.05, is paid in full by the Indemnifying Party), (B) provides for non-monetary equitable or injunctive relief affecting the Indemnified Party, or (C) does not grant an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim.
(iii) In any Third-Party Claim, the party responsible for the defense of such claim shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, keep such other party informed as to the status of such claim, including all settlement negotiations and offers. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its representatives all books and records of the Indemnified Party relating to such Third-Party Claim and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, including by making available personnel as witnesses in connection with any action.
8.04 Survival. The representations and warranties in this Agreement and all covenants and other agreements in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (other than the Seller Fundamental Reps and Purchaser Fundamental Reps) shall only continue in effect until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time all representations and warranties (other than the Seller Fundamental Reps and Purchaser Fundamental Reps) shall expire. The Seller Fundamental Reps and Purchaser Fundamental Reps shall survive until 60 (sixty) days after the applicable statute of limitations or, if a statute of limitations does not apply with respect to such representation and warranty, until the eight (8) year anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall expire to the extent the Indemnified Party has provided to the Indemnifying Party written notice of the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth above.
8.05 Limitations of Liability.
(a)Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article VIII (i) Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i) only if and to the extent that the aggregate of the Indemnifiable Amounts under Section 8.01(a)(i) exceed $200,000 (such amount, the “Threshold Amount”); except that the foregoing Threshold Amount shall not apply to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy under the Seller Fundamental Reps or in cases of actual and intentional fraud made with respect to this Agreement (other than any claim for equitable fraud, promissory fraud, unfair dealings fraud or any torts based on negligence or recklessness); (ii) Purchaser shall be entitled to be indemnified under Section 8.01(a)(i) for the Indemnifiable Amounts exceeding the Threshold Amount (or all Indemnifiable Amounts if the Threshold Amount is not applicable); and (iii) the total aggregate liability of Seller under Section 8.01(a)(i) shall not exceed $200,000 (the “Cap”), provided, however that the Cap shall not apply to claims for indemnification under Section 8.01(a)(i) for: (x) actual and intentional fraud
31
made with respect to this Agreement (other than any claim for equitable fraud, promissory fraud, unfair dealings fraud or any torts based on negligence or recklessness), or (y) breaches of the Seller Fundamental Reps; provided, further, that Seller’s indemnification obligation for claims arising under Section 8.01(a)(i) for breaches of the Seller Fundamental Reps shall be limited to the Base Consideration.
(b)Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article VIII (i) the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) only if and to the extent that the aggregate of the Indemnifiable Amounts under Section 8.02(a)(i) exceed the Threshold Amount; except that the Threshold Amount shall not apply to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy under the Purchaser Fundamental Reps or in cases of actual and intentional fraud made with respect to this Agreement (other than any claim for equitable fraud, promissory fraud, unfair dealings fraud or any torts based on negligence or recklessness); (ii) the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified under Section 8.02(a)(i) for the Indemnifiable Amounts exceeding the Threshold Amount (or all Indemnifiable Amounts if the Threshold Amount is not applicable); and (iii) the total aggregate liability of Purchaser under Section 8.02(a)(i) shall not exceed $2,000,000, provided, however that such limit shall not apply to claims for indemnification under Section 8.02(a)(i) for: (x) actual and intentional fraud made with respect to this Agreement (other than any claim for equitable fraud, promissory fraud, unfair dealings fraud or any torts based on negligence or recklessness), or (y) breaches of the Purchaser Fundamental Reps; provided, further that claims to the extent arising under Section 8.02(a)(i) for breaches of the Purchaser Fundamental Reps shall be limited to the Base Consideration.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifiable Amounts shall be net of (i) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually recovered pursuant to the R&W Policy by the Indemnified Party (off-set by any increase in premium resulting therefrom), and (ii) any indemnity or contribution amounts actually recovered by such Indemnified Party for the applicable matter hereunder as follows: the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under the R&W Policy to the extent such Indemnifiable Amounts is actually covered and collectible under the R&W Policy. In the event that recovery is made under the R&W Policy by any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to any Indemnifiable Amount for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall be promptly delivered by Purchaser to Seller.
(d)Each Indemnifiable Party shall take commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Indemnifiable Amounts for which indemnification may be claimed by it under this Agreement upon and after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such Indemnifiable Amounts.
(e)Any Indemnifiable Amounts for which any Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 8.01 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Indemnifiable Amounts
32
constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, or covenant, or Excluded Liability.
(f)Any Indemnifiable Amounts payable under this Article VIII shall be paid by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the applicable Indemnified Party.

From and after the Closing Date, the indemnification rights set forth in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive right and remedy of the Indemnified Parties for Indemnifiable Amounts, or other damages or amounts which otherwise might be due under the indemnification provisions contained in, and for any breach of any provision contained in, this Agreement, or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including with respect to any and all claims in any way relating hereto or arising out of or in connection herein); provided that the foregoing shall not limit (i) any rights of Purchaser or Seller to assert claims for actual and intentional fraud made with respect to this Agreement (other than any claim for equitable fraud, promissory fraud, unfair dealings fraud or any torts based on negligence or recklessness) against the Party alleged to have acted fraudulently (but not against any other Person); (ii) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ rights under the R&W Policy; (iii) any claims relating to any of the Ancillary Agreements or the Confidentiality Agreement; or (iv) the amounts payable under Article III.
8.08 Tax Treatment. Any payments made to any party pursuant to this Article VIII shall constitute an adjustment of the purchase price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Purchaser and Seller on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by law.
8.09 Materiality Qualifiers. All materiality qualifications contained in the representations and warranties of the Parties set forth in this Agreement (however they may be phrased and including the term “Material Adverse Effect”) shall be ignored and not taken into account for purposes of this Article VIII for purposes of determining whether a breach of, or inaccuracy in, such representation and warranty has occurred and if such breach or inaccuracy has occurred, all such materiality qualifications shall be ignored and not given any effect for purposes of determining the Indemnifiable Amounts arising out of or relating to such breach of, or inaccuracy in, such representation and warranty for purposes of this Article VIII; provided, however, in each event, that the Indemnifiable Amounts pursuant to a breach of the Seller Fundamental Reps shall not include any individual item where the losses relating thereto are less than fifty thousand US dollars ($50,000).

(b)The Purchaser and the Seller hereby agree that, in the event that a dispute arises under this Agreement after the Closing between the Purchaser and/or its Subsidiaries on the one hand, and the Seller or its Affiliates, on the other hand, (an “Agreement Dispute”) Xxxxxxx may represent the Seller and/or such Affiliates in any Agreement Dispute even though the interests of the Seller and/or such Affiliates may be directly adverse to the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, and even though Xxxxxxx may have represented the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such Agreement Dispute, or may be handling other matters for the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c)The Purchaser further agrees that, in any Agreement Dispute, that all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among any of Xxxxxxx and/or Seller or its Affiliates, or any of their respective managers, directors, officers employees or other representatives that relate in any way to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Deal Communications”), shall be deemed to be retained and owned collectively by the Seller and its Affiliates, shall be controlled by the Seller on behalf of the Seller and its Affiliates and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

Such representations and warranties by the Seller constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Seller to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and
48
the Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied are specifically disclaimed by the Seller. The Purchaser expressly disclaims reliance on any omissions of any representations and warranties of the Seller in Article V. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NONE OF THE SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES MAKES OR PROVIDES, AND THE PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVES, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO SAMPLES, OR CONDITION OF THE TRANSFERRED ASSETS. In connection with the Purchaser’s investigation of the Transferred Assets, the Purchaser has received certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operation of the Business and certain business plan information. The Purchaser acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports and other forecasts and plans, that the Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties and that the Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports and other forecasts and plans. Accordingly, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Seller is not making any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports and other forecasts and plans, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports, forecasts and plans, and that the Purchaser has not relied on any such estimates, projections, budgets, pipeline reports or other forecasts or plans. The Purchaser further agrees that (a) neither the Seller nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to the Purchaser or any other Person resulting from the distribution to the Purchaser, or the Purchaser’s use of, any such information, including any information, document or material made available to the Purchaser in certain data rooms, management presentations, the confidential information memorandum, or any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including liability related to the completeness or accuracy of any such information, and (b) the Purchaser has not relied on any such information. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 12.01 shall limit (i) any Person’s remedies in the event of actual and intentional fraud made with respect to this Agreement (other than any claim for equitable fraud, promissory fraud, unfair dealings fraud or any torts based on negligence or recklessness) against the Person who committed such fraud, or (ii) any Person’s liability in the event of actual and intentional fraud committed by such Person with respect to this Agreement (other than any claim for equitable fraud, promissory fraud, unfair dealings fraud or any torts based on negligence or recklessness).
12.02 Press Releases and Communications. No press release or public announcement, written or oral, related to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or to the existence of any arrangement between the Parties, shall be issued or made by any Party (or any Affiliate of a Party) without the joint approval of the Purchaser and the Seller (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless required by Law or the listing requirements of the Nasdaq (on the reasonable advice of counsel) in which case the Purchaser and the Seller shall have the right to review such press release, announcement or communication prior to issuance, distribution or publication to the extent reasonably practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Seller and its Affiliates may provide general information about the subject matter of this Agreement in connection with their fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting activities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, unless required by Law or the listing requirements of the Nasdaq (on
49
the reasonable advice of counsel), the Purchaser shall not use the name or xxxx of any Affiliates of the Seller, or any abbreviation, variation or derivative thereof, in any press release, public announcement or similar public document or communication relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the express written consent of the Seller. If either party, based on the advice of its counsel, determines that this Agreement, or any of the Ancillary Agreements, must be publicly filed with a Governmental Entity, then such party, prior to making any such filing, shall provide the other party and its counsel with a redacted version of this Agreement (and any other Ancillary Agreement) which it intends to file, and will give due consideration to any comments provided by the other party or its counsel and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the confidential treatment by such Governmental Entity of those sections specified by the other party or its counsel.
12.03 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the performance of the obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether or not consummated, shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense.

12.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by (a) the Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Seller, or (b) the Seller without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may assign (without relieving it of its obligations under) this Agreement in whole or in part to any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, any permitted assignment to an Affiliate shall be deemed null and void as of the time of the assignment if, following such assignment, such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate of the assigning Party. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 12.05 shall be null and void.
12.06 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision, including any phrase, sentence, clause, section or subsection, of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be modified or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary to achieve, to the extent possible, the purpose of such provision, and the Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable; provided that such modification or elimination does not affect the economic or legal substance of this Agreement or transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner adverse to any party hereto.
12.07 Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. The Disclosure Schedules have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately titled sections; however, each section of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent its relevance is reasonably apparent on its face. Any information set forth in any Schedule or incorporated in any Section of the Agreement shall, to the extent its relevance is reasonably apparent on its face, be considered to have been set forth in each other Schedule and shall be deemed to modify the representations and warranties in Article V of this Agreement whether or not such representations and
51
warranties refer to such Schedule or any Schedule; provided that the disclosures and information in the Schedules shall not constitute a representation or warranty and shall not expand any representation or warranty in Article V. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business. The information contained in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any Third Party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of contract). For purposes of this Agreement, if the Seller or a Person acting on its behalf posts a document to the Data Room, such document shall be deemed to have been “delivered,” “furnished” or “made available” (or any phrase of similar import) to the Purchaser by the Seller.
12.08 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits hereto may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by the Purchaser and the Seller.
12.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules hereto), the Ancillary Agreements (when executed and delivered) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and representations, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any agreement entered into in connection herewith, including any Ancillary Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will control. The parties agree that no Ancillary Agreement is intended or will be construed in any way, to enhance, decrease or otherwise modify any of the rights or obligations of the Purchaser, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates from those contained in this Agreement.
12.10 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

This Agreement and any signed agreement entered into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such contract, each other party hereto or thereto shall re–execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such contract shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to
52
electronic mail as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.
12.13 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).
12.14 Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation of any of the parties under this Agreement shall be governed by the U.N.

Process in any such Proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 12.04 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.
