(iv) Any payment required to be made to a Party pursuant to Section 1.3(d)(iv) or this Section 1.6 shall, to the extent possible, be effected in a manner that does not result in the recognition of income or gain to that Party or its Subsidiaries for Japanese or US Tax purposes.
10
upon an Accounting Firm within a reasonable period of time, then such Accounting Firm shall be appointed by the International Centre for Expertise in accordance with the provisions for the appointment of experts under the Rules for Expertise of the International Chamber of Commerce.

(ii) use their respective reasonable best efforts to preserve the current business organization of, and goodwill associated with, such Contributed Business, including maintaining in effect all Consents (including all Governmental Approvals), licenses, franchises, and authorizations of such Contributed Business; and
(iii) ensure that all transactions between (i) any of the Party’s Contributing Subsidiaries and any of the companies included in the Party’s Contributed Business, on the one hand, and (ii) the Party and its other Subsidiaries, on the other hand, take place
26
on arm’s length terms or in accordance with existing transfer pricing policies or existing agreements.
(b) Prohibitions. Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a), and except (i) as expressly contemplated or permitted hereby or by any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) to the extent required by Applicable Law or (iii) with the prior written Consent of the other Party (which Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), from the date hereof until Closing, each Party shall ensure that, none of such Party or its Subsidiaries, in each case with respect to such Party’s Contributed Business does, allows or procures any act or omission by its Contributing Subsidiary which would constitute a Shareholder Reserved Matter (as defined in each Shareholders Agreement) or otherwise require the consent of the other Party under either Shareholders Agreement if such act or omission took place following Closing.
3.2 Access to Information.
(a) General Rules. Between the date hereof and the Closing, each Party (the “Delivering Party”) shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to (i) provide the other Party (the “Requesting Party”) and its representatives with such information and documents in its possession relating to such Contributed Business and other related businesses or operations of the Delivering Party or such Subsidiary providing material services to such Party’s Contributed Business as the Requesting Party may from time to time reasonably request in such form it may reasonably request (including in electronic form), including information on business, properties, contracts, other Assets, Liabilities, personnel (in the case of MS, to the extent relating to IBD Contributed Business Individuals) and other aspects of the Delivering Party’s Contributed Business and other related businesses or operations of the Delivering Party or such Subsidiary providing material services to such Party’s Contributed Business, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of the Requesting Party’s obligations hereunder; and (ii) keep the Requesting Party and its representatives informed, on a current basis, of any events, discussions, notices or changes with respect to any tax, criminal or regulatory investigation or action or any material Claims in relation to the Delivering Party’s Contributed Business and other related businesses or operations of the Delivering Party and any breach of representations and warranties contained in Article II; provided, that the Requesting Party shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of business of the Delivering Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, further, that the furnishing of such documents or information shall not violate confidentiality obligations to a client or other Third Party or jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Delivering Party or any of its Subsidiaries (in which case the Parties will use their reasonable best efforts to institute appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements, to the extent practical in the circumstances); provided, further, that access to such information shall be subject to any appropriate firewalls or other restrictions to prevent disclosure of information unrelated to the Contributed Businesses; provided, further, that no Party shall be required to disclose information that is, in its reasonable judgment, competitively sensitive; and provided, further, that neither Party shall be required to disclose information in violation of Applicable Law. No information provided or investigation conducted pursuant to this
27
Section 3.2 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made in this Agreement.
(b) Preservation of Records; Access by Advisors. Each of MUFG and MS agrees (i) to hold all of the books and records related to the MUS and MSJS Contributed Businesses, respectively, that are not transferred to MUMSS or MSMS hereunder, as applicable, and not to destroy or dispose of any thereof, for a period of seven (7) years (unless a longer period is required by Applicable Law) from the Closing Date and (ii) following the Closing Date, to provide the other Party, its accountants and legal counsel, during normal business hours, upon reasonable request, reasonable access to such books and records, to the extent that such access may be requested as required to respond to any inquiry or investigation by any Governmental Authority. Each of MUFG and MS shall have the same rights, and MUMSS, MSMS and their respective Subsidiaries shall have the same obligations, as are set forth above in this Section 3.2(b) with respect to any non-privileged records pertaining to their respective Contributed Businesses that are transferred to MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable.
3.3 Confidentiality.
(a) Confidentiality Agreement. Each Party has agreed that the contemplated transaction in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction Documents shall be considered a Strategic Initiative (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) and acknowledges that the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to apply with respect to the subject matter thereof pursuant to its terms. However, the confidentiality obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be as set forth in this Section 3.3.
(b) Treatment of Confidential Information. Each Party agrees to keep confidential, and not disclose to any Person (other than for purposes of filing such Party’s Tax Returns, to enable such Party to comply with Applicable Law or for other routine matters required by Applicable Law), any business, financial or marketing information, or other confidential or proprietary information of any other Party or any Affiliate thereof that is received by it in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) (other than disclosure to such Party’s Affiliates or such Party’s or any Affiliate’s employees, agents, advisors, or representatives, in each case, responsible for matters relating to the Contributed Business or relating or incidental to the purposes of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and matters relating to such Party’s compliance with Applicable Law (such Affiliates and each such Person being hereinafter referred to as an “Authorized Representative”)); provided, that such Party and its Authorized Representatives may make disclosures to the extent that:
(i) the Confidential Information being disclosed is publicly known at the time of disclosure by such Party or Authorized Representative;
(ii) the Confidential Information otherwise is known to such Party other than through disclosure by either Party or by a third party in breach of a duty of confidentiality;
28
(iii) such Confidential Information is required to be included in one or more regulatory reports or filings or is otherwise required to be disclosed under Applicable Law, including reports, filings or disclosures required by any Governmental Entity;
(iv) such Confidential Information was developed by such Party or Authorized Representative independent of any Confidential Information of either Company or the other Party; or
(v) such Confidential Information is in relation to the existence and terms of this Agreement and any Transaction Document and the Party considers it necessary or desirable to disclose such Confidential Information to the Governmental Entity;
(vi) such Confidential Information relates to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analysis) and is provided to such other Person in relation to such tax treatment and tax structure.; or
(vii) such disclosure, in the opinion of legal counsel of such Party or Authorized Representative, is required by Applicable Law.
(c) Prior Notification of Disclosure. Prior to making any disclosure required by or advisable under Applicable Law, to the extent practicable and permitted by Applicable Law, each Party shall notify the other Party of such disclosure together with a copy of the opinion referred to above. Prior to any disclosure to any Authorized Representative, each Party shall advise such Authorized Representative of the obligations set forth in this Section 3.3 and direct such Authorized Representative to treat such Confidential Information in accordance herewith (but shall, nonetheless remain responsible for any breach by such Authorized Representative).
(d) Client Information. Confidential client information of either Party or its Contributed Business, and any other Business Information forming part of the Contributed Assets of either Party or any of its Contributing Subsidiaries a copy of which is retained by such Party or such Contributing Subsidiary as the case may be, shall be maintained and kept confidential in accordance with Applicable Law and any confidentiality obligation.
(e) Precautionary Measures. Each Party will take adequate security and precautionary measures to effect compliance with this Section 3.3 by its Authorized Representatives who shall be given access to Confidential Information as permitted herein and will be responsible for such compliance by such Persons.
(f) Return of Information. If this Agreement terminates, either Party may by notice require the other to return the first Party’s Confidential Information. If so, the other Party shall (and shall ensure that its Authorized Representatives shall) (i) return all documents containing Confidential Information which have been provided by or on behalf of the Party demanding the return of Confidential Information or its Authorized Representatives and (ii) destroy any copies of such documents and any document reproducing, containing or made from or with reference to the Confidential Information (except, in each case, for any submission to or filings with Tax or Governmental
29
Authority). The other Party shall return or destroy the Confidential Information as soon as practicable after receiving notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party and their respective Subsidiaries may retain copies of such Confidential Information as is required by Applicable Law or the document retention policy of such Party or to the extent such copies are electronically stored, in accordance with the retention or back-up policies or procedures of such Party (including those regarding electronic communications).
3.4 Action to Facilitate the Integration.
(a) Reasonable Best Efforts to Consummate Transactions. From the date hereof until the Closing, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable, in accordance with Applicable Law, to consummate and make effective at the Closing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the other Transaction Documents, and to cooperate with the other Party in good faith in connection with the foregoing, including:
(i) to obtain, and to cause its Subsidiaries to obtain prior to the Closing, any and all Governmental Approvals and Third Party Approvals required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the other Transaction Documents (including any Governmental Approvals and Third Party Approvals required to separate the Excluded Businesses);
(ii) to comply, and cause its Subsidiaries to comply, with all conditions and covenants applicable to such Party hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents;
(iii) to defend any Claims, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents;
(iv) to administer, coordinate and otherwise manage each Party’s compliance with Section 3.2 and to effectively plan for the practical implementation of the integration following Closing; and
(v) to do, and cause its Subsidiaries to do, all such other acts as are necessary or advisable in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents;
provided, that no Party shall be obligated to take any such action if it would alter or affect any of the substantive rights or obligations of such Party as contemplated by this Agreement or by the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing (i), in the case of any Third Party Approval, in no event shall MUFG or MS be obligated to pay any money to any Person or to offer or grant other financial or other accommodations to any Person in connection with its obligations under this Section 3.4(a).
(b) Governmental Approvals for Transactions pursuant to the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, each Party shall file, or cause to be filed, as promptly as practicable, in each case in form and content in compliance with Applicable Law, each registration, report,
30
statement, notice, form, or other filing requested, required or desirable to be filed by any such Party or its Subsidiaries with any Governmental Authority or in order to obtain any Governmental Approvals required or desirable in order to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or for MUMSS or MSMS to conduct its business as contemplated in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
(c) Filings; Cooperation. Subject to Applicable Law, each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the other Party apprised of the status of any Governmental Approvals relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or for MUMSS or MSMS to conduct its business as contemplated in this Agreement, the Shareholders Agreements or the other Transaction Documents and each Party shall coordinate and cooperate prior to the Closing with the other Party in exchanging such information and supplying such assistance as may be reasonably requested by the other Party in connection with any of the actions contemplated by this Section 3.4(c), including:
(i) cooperating with the other Party in connection with any filings or reports required to be made under the Banking Law, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, the Bank Holding Company Act, the Japan Anti Monopoly Act, or other antitrust, competition, trade, or securities regulations, or other Applicable Law, including, with respect to the Party making a filing, taking into account any reasonable objections of the other Party with respect to making such a filing and, where desirable, providing a draft of a proposed filing, communication or application and inviting representatives of the other Party to participate in communications with the relevant Governmental Authority;
(ii) furnishing to the other Party (or, if the Party reasonably believes that such information is commercially sensitive, the advisers to the other Party on the basis that such information will not be provided to the other Party) all information required for any such application or filing with a Governmental Authority;
(iii) promptly notifying the other Party of, and furnishing the other Party with copies of, any material written communications from or with any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; and
(iv) regularly reviewing with the other Party the progress of any notifications or filings (including, where necessary, seeking to identify appropriate means to address any regulatory or antitrust concerns identified by any Governmental Authority) and discussing with the other Party tactics for obtaining clearance from the Governmental Authority at the earliest reasonable opportunity.
(d) Conditional Regulatory Approvals. If any Governmental Approval required for fulfillment of any of the Closing conditions contained in Section 5.2, in the case of MUFG, and Section 5.1, in the case of MS, is granted subject to any condition, term or undertaking to be given by MUFG, MS, MUMSS or MSMS, such Governmental Approval shall be deemed to fulfill the Closing condition if that condition, term or undertaking is not (i) in the reasonable mutual opinion of the Parties, unduly and materially
31
onerous to MUMSS, MSMS or any Affiliate of MUMSS or MSMS after Closing, (ii) in the reasonable opinion of MUFG, unduly and materially onerous to MUFG or any Affiliate of MUFG either before or after Closing, or (iii) in the reasonable opinion of MS, unduly and materially onerous to MS or any Affiliate of MS either before or after Closing. In such circumstances, MUMSS or MSMS or, if applicable, MUFG or MS, and any relevant Affiliate of any of them shall give any such undertaking in the form required by the Governmental Authority. MS and MUFG shall discuss in good faith to agree whether or not this Section 3.4(d) applies in respect of any such condition, term or undertaking and, if it does not apply, to agree on an alternative proposal to fulfill the relevant Closing condition as promptly as is reasonably practicable in order to implement the Closing as far as practicable on the same terms as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(e) Failure of Condition; Notification; Updated Disclosure Letter.
(i) At all times prior to the Closing Date, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any fact, condition, event or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of any of the conditions contained in Section 5.2, in the case of MUFG, and Section 5.1, in the case of MS, promptly upon becoming aware of the same.
(ii) In the event that Closing is scheduled to occur after May 1, 2010, then no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, each Party shall update and supplement in good faith its initial Disclosure Letter (each, an “Updated Disclosure Letter”), and deliver its Updated Disclosure Letter to the other Party, with respect to any matter not existing or, to the extent that a representation or warranty is qualified by a reference to the knowledge of such Party, not known as of the date of this Agreement which, if existing or known by such Party as of the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Party’s initial Disclosure Letter. Such Party’s Updated Disclosure Letter (together with the initial Disclosure Letter) shall be deemed to have qualified the Closing Warranties, except for Section 2.1(g)(v)(A) (No MAE Since Balance Sheet Date), made in this Agreement for purposes of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(a), in the case of MUFG, or 5.1(a), in the case of MS, have been satisfied as of the Closing Date, but not for purposes of determining whether or not any other conditions set forth in Section 5.2, in the case of MUFG, or 5.1, in the case of MS, have been satisfied. (For the avoidance of doubt, no matter disclosed in the Updated Disclosure Letter shall qualify Section 2.1(g)(v)(A) (No MAE Since Balance Sheet Date) for any purposes in connection with this Agreement.) Such Party’s Updated Disclosure Letter shall be deemed not to have been disclosed for purposes of qualifying any representations and warranties made in or pursuant to this Agreement as of the Closing Date for purposes of determining whether the other Party (including its related Indemnitees) is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a) (it being understood that all such representations and warranties set forth in Article II are being remade as of the Closing Date for purposes of Section 6.2(a)).
(f) Legal Developments. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4, if (i) an Applicable Law is enacted or (ii) a Governmental Authority issues, or
32
seeks the issuance of, an Order of the type that would cause any of the Closing conditions set forth in Sections 5.1(d) and 5.2(d) not to be satisfied, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the elimination of, or exemption from, such Applicable Law or the lifting, withdrawal or termination of such Order or the termination of the efforts by such Governmental Authority to obtain the issuance of such an Order at the earliest practicable time and/or to negotiate in good faith to implement alternative arrangements that will permit the Closing and the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents to be consummated without a violation of such Applicable Law or Order and without altering in any material respect the rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(g) Excluded Liabilities, Consents and Approvals. Prior to and after the Closing, each Party, at the request of the other, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any Consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all obligations under agreements, leases, licenses and other Liabilities of any nature whatsoever that constitute Excluded Liabilities, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements so that, in any such case, neither MUMSS nor MSMS will have any liability or responsibility for such Liabilities; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any Third Party (who is not a Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Party) from whom such Consents, approvals, substitutions and amendments are requested provided that MS will not seek to assign rights and obligations in respect of the Retained Securitization Product set forth in Table 1 of Schedule 1.2(b) and will not seek consent with respect thereto. If the applicable Party is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required Consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment, it shall continue to pay, perform and discharge fully all such Liabilities and shall indemnify MUMSS, MSMS, the other Party and the Indemnitees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if either Party is unable to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any such required Consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment or any Consent, approval or amendment required to assign or transfer any Excluded Asset prior to Closing despite such Party’s reasonable best efforts to do so, such failure shall not be treated as or constitute a breach of any provision of this Agreement.
(h) Retained Securitization Products. MS shall transfer or shall have transferred the economic interest in all Retained Securitization Products out of MSJS prior to the Closing by either (i) having MS or an Affiliate of MS enter into a total return swap in a customary form with MSJS in respect of such Retained Securitization Product such that any gains or losses in the values of such Retained Securitization Products relative to their values on the date on which the total return swap was or is entered into is or will be for the account of MS, and/or (ii) by assigning the economic rights and benefits of such Retained Securitization Products to an Affiliate of MS or a Third Party by way of an assignment, sub-participation arrangement or otherwise.
(i) Specific Obligations. To the extent that the form of any documents required to implement the MUFG Pre-Closing Reorganization or the MS Pre-Closing Reorganization are not attached as Exhibits to this Agreement, MUFG or MS
33
(respectively) shall each consult with the other in advance of any material step proposed to be taken as part of such Pre-Closing Reorganization and shall provide the other in advance drafts of any material documents relevant to the implementation of such Pre-Closing Reorganization, in each case in sufficient time to enable the other adequately to consider and comment thereon, to the extent that such document is not consistent with any terms in respect of such document set forth in the Exhibits to this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement, the Shareholders Agreements and the other Transaction Documents.
(j) Contribution in Error. To the extent that, after the Closing, MUMSS, MSMS or either Party and/or any of its Affiliates discovers that an Asset or Liability was erroneously included as a Contributed Asset or Contributed Liability, as applicable: (i) MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, shall transfer such Asset to the applicable transferor thereof in exchange for a payment by such transferor of an amount in cash equal to the reported value (if any) of such Asset on the applicable Final Closing Balance Sheet or (ii) MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, shall, subject to Section 3.4(g), transfer such Liability to the applicable transferor thereof and shall make a payment to such transferor of an amount in cash equal to the reported value of such Liability on the applicable Final Closing Balance Sheet.
(k) Exclusion in Error. To the extent that, after the Closing, MUMSS, MSMS or either Party and/or any of its Affiliates discovers an Asset or Liability that should have been included as a Contributed Asset or Contributed Liability (including as necessary to make the representations set forth in Sections 2.1(j) (Assets; Services; Title) and Section 2.1(s)(iii) (IP Sufficiency) accurate): (i) the Party that should have transferred or procured the transfer of such Asset shall transfer or procure the transfer of such Asset to MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, and in exchange receive a payment from MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, of an amount in cash equal to the value of such Asset as of the Closing Date (as initially determined in good faith by MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, and notified to both Parties) as if it had been included in the applicable Final Closing Balance Sheet or (ii) the Party that should have transferred or procured the transfer of such Liability shall, subject to Section 3.4(g), transfer or procure the transfer of such Liability to MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, and such Party shall pay to MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, an amount in cash equal to the value of such Liability as of the Closing Date (as agreed between MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, and such Party) as if it had been included in the applicable Final Closing Balance Sheet; provided, that any disagreement between the Parties as to the value of any such Asset or Liability shall be resolved by following the procedures set forth in Section 1.6.
(l) Additional Post-Closing Assurances. Following the Closing Date, each Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, from time to time, execute and deliver such additional instruments, documents, conveyances or assurances and take such other actions as shall be necessary, or otherwise reasonably be requested by MUMSS, MSMS or the other Party, to confirm and assure the rights and obligations provided for in the Transaction Documents and render effective the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of the Transaction Documents.
34
3.5 Non-Solicitation of Employees. Each Party agrees that between the date of this Agreement and Closing, neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall employ or solicit in order to offer to employ, directly or indirectly, any employee of its Contributed Business, MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, provided however that engaging or hiring of an employee will not be considered a violation of this Section 3.5 if (a) it is contemplated under this Agreement as part of a Pre-Closing Reorganization, (b) it is the return of a seconded employee to the seconding entity or secondment to an Affiliate, in each case in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (c) it involves only general solicitation of employment not specifically directed toward personnel employed in its Contributed Business or either Company, or (d) the employment relationship between the relevant Company and the employee was terminated at least three (3) months prior to the commencement of employment discussions between the relevant Party and such employee, or (e) the employee contacted the relevant Party entirely on his or her own initiative and without any direct or indirect solicitation by relevant Party.
3.6 Tax Matters.
(a) Cooperation. Each of MUFG, MS, MUMSS and MSMS shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to reasonably cooperate, with respect to Tax matters. MUFG, MS, MUMSS and MSMS agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Contributed Businesses as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return, the preparation for any audit and the prosecution or defense of any Claim relating to any proposed adjustment, in each case, with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to (i) identify all Tax-related information with respect to the Contributed Businesses that is held by MUFG, MS or their respective Affiliates and is reasonably necessary for the preparation of any Tax Return of MUMSS or MSMS, (ii) agree on the format in which such documentation will be provided to MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, and (iii) take all actions reasonably necessary to transfer such information to MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, at the Closing.
(b) Transfer Taxes. Any consumption, excise, sales, use, transfer, Real Property transfer, documentary, stamp or similar Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) resulting from the transfer of the Contributed Assets to MUMSS or MSMS, as applicable, and the transactions described in Section 1.6 shall be borne by the Party or its Contributing Subsidiary that is responsible or otherwise liable therefor under Applicable Law. Except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents (other than this Agreement) with respect to the transactions contemplated thereby, all other Transfer Taxes arising from the transactions contemplated in this Agreement shall be the responsibility of the Party that incurs such Tax. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to minimize the aggregate amount of Transfer Taxes.
35
ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS
Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall enter into (or procure that their relevant Affiliates enter into) the Transaction Documents listed in Section 1 of Schedule 4 hereto, and at Closing, the Parties shall enter into (or procure that their relevant Affiliates enter into) the Transaction Documents listed in Section 2 of Schedule 4 hereto in the forms of Exhibits A through G attached hereto.
ARTICLE V
36
(c) Pre-Closing Reorganization. MS shall, and shall have caused its Subsidiaries to, have completed the MS Pre-Closing Reorganization provided, however, for these purposes that the failure to obtain any Third Party Consent to any transfer of any MSJS Excluded Asset or MSJS Excluded Liability which may be required shall not give rise to a failure to complete the MS Pre-Closing Reorganization.
37
(c) Pre-Closing Reorganization. MUFG shall, and shall have caused its Subsidiaries to, have completed the MUFG Pre-Closing Reorganization provided, however, for these purposes that the failure to obtain any Third Party Consent to any transfer of any MUS Excluded Asset or MUS Excluded Liability which may be required shall not give rise to a failure to complete the MUFG Pre-Closing Reorganization.
38
Affiliate, and any applicable waiting periods in respect thereof shall have expired or been terminated.
ARTICLE VI
(c) Survival of Other Indemnity Rights. The right of an Indemnitee to indemnification or to otherwise receive payments pursuant to Section 6.2(b), (c) or (d) or Section 6.3 shall be separate and in addition to, and shall not be limited by, such Person’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a), and shall survive any termination or expiration of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.1.
39
whatever kind and nature (each a “Loss”) incurred by an Indemnitee arising out of or in connection with:
40
asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyl, or radioactive materials present at Closing at any of such Indemnitor’s Contributed Leased Real Property or Contributed Real Property.
(a) Thresholds. An Indemnitor shall have no Liability under Section 6.2(a), 6.2(d) and 6.3:
(i) for any Loss or series of related Losses unless the amount thereof exceeds ¥100,000,000 (each, a “De Minimis Loss”); and
(ii) until the amount of Losses (other than any De Minimis Losses) that would be subject to indemnification by the Indemnitor but for this sentence exceeds an aggregate amount equal to ¥1,000,000,000 (the “Deductible”);
in which case the Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification of all Losses in excess of the Deductible (other than any De Minimis Losses).
6.5 Other Indemnification Provisions.
41
(h) Claims by MUFG or MS on behalf of the Companies. If MUFG becomes aware of any Loss for which MUMSS or MSMS may be entitled to seek indemnification from MS under this Agreement, MUFG shall be entitled to seek such indemnification on behalf of such Company and may exercise or cause to be exercised all of the rights of such Company with respect to such Loss as if MUFG were the Indemnitee with respect to such Loss; provided, that any amounts recovered from MS with respect to such Loss shall be paid to such Company. If MS becomes aware of any Loss for which MUMSS or MSMS may be entitled to seek indemnification from MUFG under this Agreement, MS shall be entitled to seek such indemnification on behalf of such Company and may exercise or cause to be exercised all of the rights of such Company with respect to such Loss as if MS were the Indemnitee with respect to such Loss; provided, that any amounts recovered from MUFG with respect to such Loss shall be paid to such Company.
42
notice of such Claim, specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, to the Indemnitor. The failure or delay by any Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any Liability which it may have to such Indemnitee, except to the extent that the Indemnitor has been actually prejudiced by such failure or delay. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnitee within sixty (60) Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnitor disputes its Liability to the Indemnitee, such Claims specified by the Indemnitee in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor shall pay the amount of such Liability to the Indemnitee on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Claims (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.
43
not affect, in any respect, the control of such Claim as provided in Section 6.7(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the defendants in a Claim include both an Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, and counsel to the Indemnitee (or, if the Indemnitee is the Controlling Party, counsel to the Indemnitor) shall have reasonably concluded that joint representation would be inappropriate due to potential or actual conflicts of interest between the Controlling Party, the Indemnitor and/or the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain a single firm of separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Controlling Party (and, if the Company is the Controlling Party, the Indemnitor) (each of which shall be timely sought and shall not be unreasonably withheld) to participate in the defense of that Claim on behalf of such Indemnitee and at the expense of the Indemnitor.
44
other Person requesting such cooperation; provided, however, that such expenses shall not include incidental time incurred by employees of any Party responding to such a request for cooperation. The Parties shall cause the Companies to assist, service and otherwise support any Pre-Closing Litigation.
ARTICLE VII
7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:
(a) by mutual written Consent of the Parties at any time;
