divestiture or disposition (including by licensing any intellectual property rights) of any Acquired Assets and/or any other assets or businesses of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (or equity interests held by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in entities with assets or businesses); (ii) terminate any existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations; (iii) otherwise offer to take or offer to commit to take any action which it is capable of taking and, if the offer is accepted, take or commit to take such action, that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the Acquired Assets and/or any other assets or businesses of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (or equity interests held by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in entities with assets or businesses); and (iv) take promptly, in the event that any permanent or preliminary injunction or other order is entered or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered in any proceeding that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents unlawful or that would prevent or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, any and all steps (including the appeal thereof, the posting of a bond or the taking of the steps contemplated by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.3(c)) necessary to vacate, modify or suspend such injunction or order. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer’s obligations under this Section 7.3 shall be absolute and not qualified by “commercially reasonable efforts.” The Parties agree that Sellers’ obligations under this Section 7.3 shall not include any obligation on the part of Sellers or their respective Affiliates to commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust or otherwise the sale or disposition of such of its assets or businesses (including the Acquired Assets) as may be required to be divested in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or preceding.
(d) Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, (i) shall promptly inform each other of any communication from any Governmental Authority concerning this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, and any filing, notification or request for approval and (ii) shall permit the other to review in advance any proposed written or material oral communication or information submitted to any such Governmental Authority in response thereto and shall discuss and attempt to reasonably account for any comments or suggestions of the other Party. In addition, none of Parties shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, unless such Party consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by any such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate thereat, in each case to the maximum extent practicable. Subject to any restrictions under applicable laws, rules or regulations, Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall furnish the other with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives on the one hand, and the Governmental Authority or members of its staff on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby (excluding documents and communications which are subject to preexisting confidentiality agreements or to the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine) or any such filing, notification or request for approval. In carrying out their obligations under this Section 7.3, subject to applicable Law, each of the Parties shall not submit or otherwise provide any information to such Governmental Authority without first having provided a reasonable opportunity to the other Party and its counsel to comment upon such information. Each Party shall also furnish the other Party with such
33
necessary information and assistance as such other Party and its Affiliates may reasonably request in connection with their preparation of necessary filings, registration or submissions of information to the Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and any such filing, notification or request for approval. Any Party may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any sensitive material provided to the other Party under this Section 7.3, or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to the directors, officers or employees of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials.
(e) Neither Buyer nor Sellers shall, after the entry of the Sale Order, agree to accept any agreement that would have the effect of delaying the consummation of any action contemplated by this Agreement without the written consent of the other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no Party shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or other applicable Laws, without the prior written consent of the other Parties.
(f) Neither Buyer nor any of its controlled Affiliates shall take any action or acquire any assets or securities of any other Person or agree to acquire assets or securities of any other Person if such action, acquisition or agreement would reasonably be expected to impair Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 7.4 Bankruptcy Court Filings and Approval.
(a) US Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain entry of the Sale Order and such other relief from the Bankruptcy Court as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer agrees that it will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by US Sellers to assist in obtaining entry of the Sale Order and, consistent with Section 8.3(a) below, a finding by the Bankruptcy Court of adequate assurance of future performance by Buyer.
(b) As promptly as possible, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following entry of the Sale Order and on notice to Persons designated by Buyer, Canadian Seller shall bring a motion seeking an Order in the Canadian Proceeding, inter alia, (i) approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, (ii) exempting the transaction from the provisions of the Bulk Sales Act (Ontario), and (iii) vesting the Canadian Assets in Buyer free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) effective upon delivery to Buyer of the Receiver’s Certificate confirming that the Purchase Price has been paid, the conditions to Closing have been satisfied or waived and the transactions contemplated in this Agreement have closed to the satisfaction of the Receiver (such order, the “Canadian Sale and Vesting Order”), which Order shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, with such changes as Buyer may accept acting reasonably. Buyer agrees that it will take such actions as are reasonably requested by Sellers to assist in obtaining entry of the Canadian Sale and Vesting Order.
34
(c) Prior to the filing by Sellers of the applications and motions for the Canadian Orders, Sellers will (i) provide a copy thereof (including, in each case, the related forms of order and notice and supporting materials) to Buyer and its counsel, (ii) provide Buyer and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document, and any amendment or supplement thereto and (iii) incorporate any reasonable comments of Buyer and its counsel into such document and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(d) Sellers and Buyer acknowledge that this Agreement and the sale of the Acquired Assets and the assumption and assignment of the Assigned Agreements are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and approval of the Canadian Court. Sellers and Buyer acknowledge that (i) to obtain such approval, Sellers must demonstrate that they have taken reasonable steps to obtain the highest and otherwise best offer possible for the Acquired Assets and (ii) Buyer must provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Assigned Agreements to be assigned by US Sellers.
(e) Sellers shall give appropriate notice, and provide appropriate opportunity for hearing, to all Persons entitled thereto, of all motions (including the motions seeking entry of the Sale Order and the Canadian Orders), orders, hearings and other proceedings relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and such additional notice as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court or the Canadian Court or as Buyer may reasonably request.
(f) In the event an appeal is taken or a stay pending appeal is requested, from the Sale Order or any of the Canadian Orders, Sellers shall immediately notify Buyer of such appeal or stay request and shall provide to Buyer promptly a copy of the related notice of appeal or order of stay. Sellers shall also provide Buyer with written notice of any motion or application filed in connection with any appeal from or stay request in respect of either of such orders. Sellers and Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to defend such appeal or stay request and obtain an expedited resolution of such appeal.
(g) After entry of the Sale Order and the Canadian Sale and Vesting Order Sellers shall not take any action which is intended to, or fail to take any action the intent of which failure to act is to, result in the reversal, voiding, modification or staying of the Sale Order or the Canadian Sale and Vesting Order.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, subject to the fourth sentence of Section 2.5, at the request of Buyer, Sellers shall transfer and assign the Assigned Agreements set forth on Schedule 7.4(h) to Buyer as of the Closing Date or as soon thereafter as possible, pursuant to, inter alia, Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, it being agreed that such assumption and assignment may occur after the Sale Hearing and entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order.
Section 7.5 Communications with Customers and Suppliers. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, contact, or engage in any discussions or otherwise communicate with, any of Sellers’ landlords, clients, suppliers and other Persons with which Sellers have material commercial dealings without obtaining the prior consent of Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that nothing herein shall in any way restrict or limit Buyer or its Affiliates from
35
contacting, or engaging in discussions or otherwise communicating with, any Person in the ordinary course of the business of Buyer and its Affiliates as conducted as of the date hereof. In no event shall Buyer request any client, customer or any other Person to return any Products sold by Seller.
Section 7.6 Financing. Buyer covenants and agrees with Sellers that it will take all actions necessary to ensure that as of the Closing Date Buyer will have immediately available funds, in the aggregate, sufficient to pay the Cash Consideration, and all other costs, fees and expenses required to be paid by it under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
Section 7.7 Notification of Certain Matters. From the Effective Date through one (1) Business Day prior to the Sale Hearing, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Sale Hearing, except with respect to Contracts entered into after such date) supplement or update Schedule 2.2(d) by providing Buyer written notice of any Contract to which any Seller is a party as of the Effective Date which was not set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) or Schedule 2.2(d) as of the Effective Date and any Contracts that relate to the Business and arise in the Ordinary Course of Business after the Effective Date. From the Effective Date through one (1) Business Day prior to the Sale Hearing, Buyer may amend Schedule 2.2(d) or Schedule 1.1(a) to move any Contract from Schedule 2.2(d) to Schedule 1.1(a), but not vice versa, provided, however, that from the Effective Date through two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, Buyer shall have the right to move any Contract set forth on Schedule 7.7 from Schedule 1.1(a) to Schedule 2.2(d), provided, further, that Buyer shall have no right to add any Contract rejected, in accordance with Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, by Sellers prior to Sellers receiving written notice from Buyer to include such Contract on Schedule 1.1(a) so long as Sellers have provided Buyer with notice of Sellers intent to reject any such Contract at least two (2) days prior to rejecting such Contract, provided further, that Buyer may not amend Schedule 2.2(d) or Schedule 1.1(a) to move any Contract from Schedule 1.1(a) to Schedule 2.2(d) which is also listed on Schedule 5.15 without the prior written consent of Sellers.
ARTICLE VIII
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
Section 8.1 Taxes.
(a) Any sales, use, property transfer, property transfer gains, documentary, stamp, registration, recording or similar Tax (including, for certainty, goods and services tax, harmonized sales tax and land transfer tax) payable in connection with the sale or transfer of the Acquired Assets (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Buyer and, to the extent any Seller is required by applicable Law to pay Transfer Taxes, such Transfer Taxes shall be paid by the Buyer to the appropriate Seller at Closing. Sellers and Buyer shall use reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to exempt the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets from any such Transfer Taxes. Where possible, Buyer shall prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns or other documents with respect to all such Transfer Taxes; provided, however, that in the event any such Tax Return requires execution by Sellers, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a copy of such Tax Return at least three (3) Business Days before the due date thereof, and Sellers shall promptly execute such Tax Return and deliver it to Buyer, which shall cause it to be filed. Buyer
36
shall reimburse Sellers for any Tax described in this Section 8.1(a) that is paid by Sellers to a Governmental Authority.
(b) Buyer shall be responsible for all personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Acquired Assets (the “Property Taxes”), without regard to the taxable period such Property Taxes are attributable to, that are due and payable after the Closing Date.
(c) Buyer and Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business and the Acquired Assets (including access to Documents) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority and the prosecution or defense of any claims, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax; provided, however, that (other than as required pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)) neither Buyer nor any Seller shall be required to disclose the contents of its income tax returns to any Person. Any expenses incurred in furnishing such information or assistance pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) shall be borne by the Party requesting it.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, Buyer and Sellers hereby waive compliance with all “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” and similar laws that may be applicable with respect to the sale and transfer of any or all of the Acquired Assets to Buyer.
(e) If requested by Sellers prior to Closing, Buyer and Canadian Seller shall jointly execute and file an election pursuant to subsection 20(24) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the corresponding provisions of any applicable provincial Tax legislation in prescribed manner and within the prescribed time limits with respect to Buyer’s assumption of Canadian Seller’s obligations in respect of undertakings to which paragraph 12(1)(a) of Income Tax Act (Canada) apply. Buyer and Canadian Seller acknowledge that Canadian Seller is transferring assets of equal value to Buyer as consideration for the assumption of such obligations. Buyer and Canadian Seller shall file all of their respective Canadian Tax Returns in a manner consistent with any elections completed under this Section 8.1(e).
Section 8.2 Payments Received. Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, each agree that, after the Closing, each will hold and will promptly transfer and deliver to the other, from time to time as and when received by them, any cash, checks with appropriate endorsements (using their best efforts not to convert such checks into cash) or other property that they may receive on or after the Closing which properly belongs to the other and will account to the other for all such receipts.
Section 8.3 Assigned Agreements; Adequate Assurance of Future Performance.
(a) With respect to each Assigned Agreement, Buyer shall provide adequate assurance as required under the Bankruptcy Code of the future performance by Buyer of each such Assigned Agreement. Buyer and Sellers agree that they will promptly take all actions reasonably required to assist in obtaining a Bankruptcy Court finding that there has been an adequate demonstration of adequate assurance of future performance under the Assigned Agreements, such as furnishing affidavits, non-confidential financial information and other
37
documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court and making Buyer’s and Sellers’ Representatives available to testify before the Bankruptcy Court.
(b) Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 2.3(a), Buyer shall, from and after the Closing Date, (i) assume all Liabilities of Sellers under the Assigned Agreements arising after the Closing and (ii) satisfy and perform all of the Liabilities related to each of the Assigned Agreements arising after the Closing when the same are due thereunder.
Section 8.4 Rebates, Chargebacks and Returns.
(a) On or following the Closing, Buyer shall take all actions necessary to obtain its own NDC Numbers and any other license number, code or other similar reference required for the distribution, marketing, and sale of each Product by Buyer in the United States (collectively, “Buyer Required Code”). Such actions shall include labeling all Product inventory acquired by Buyer in the United States pursuant to this Agreement with Buyer’s Buyer Required Code, as applicable, such that all sales of Product by Buyer in the United States are tracked with Buyer Required Code. Buyer will not sell or otherwise transfer any Products in the United States that have a label or packaging that includes any Seller NDC Number. On or following the Closing, Buyer shall take all necessary actions, including, without limitation, completion of the filings and submissions contemplated by Section 8.5, to have the current DIN for each Product in Canada assigned to Buyer and Canadian Seller shall agree to such assignments. Each party hereby agrees and undertakes to provide to the other party copies of all written notices and information filed or delivered by such party to Health Canada in furtherance of the foregoing. For greater certainty, subject to compliance with the filing requirements contemplated by Section 8.5(a), from and after the Closing, Buyer may sell or transfer Products in Canada bearing the current DIN for each Product in Canada, and Buyer shall not be required to obtain a new DIN for each such Product, except for Products that received a DIN prior to September 1994 and have not been notified.
(b) As promptly as practicable following the Closing, Sellers and Buyer will issue a joint letter to customers of the Products, advising such customers of Sellers’ and Buyer’s responsibilities in connection with returns and credits. Sellers shall be responsible only for returned Product that bears Sellers’ NDC Number or as evidenced as being sold by Sellers prior to the Closing by lot number or otherwise, provided that, any processing of returns of Product shall be in compliance with Sellers’ return policy. Buyer shall be responsible only for returned Product that bears the Buyer’s NDC Number or as evidenced as being sold by Buyer on or after the Closing Date by lot number or otherwise, provided that, any such returns of Product shall be in compliance with Buyer’s then current return policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Product returns in Canada involve a split lot of Product, a portion of which was sold by Canadian Seller prior to the Closing and a portion of which was sold by Buyer after the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for returns of all Product from such split lot. Neither Sellers nor Buyer shall take any action to encourage or delay return of any Product. If Sellers or Buyer receive a Product for which the other was responsible as set forth in Section 8.4(b), that party shall ship the returned Product to the responsible party at the expense of the responsible party, together with such information as is necessary to support the return. All payments due to Sellers from Buyer or due to Buyer from Sellers under this Section 8.4(b), shall be made within 30 days of
38
submission to the responsible party of invoices that describe the requested payment in reasonable detail.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, after the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the responsibility to process, and shall have all Liability for, all Rebates and Chargebacks for Products sold by Buyer. Sellers shall retain all Liability for Rebates and Chargebacks relating to Products sold by Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the responsibility to process, and shall have all Liability for, Rebates charged by a Canadian Governmental Authority for Products dispensed during the first calendar quarter of 2012 or later and invoiced in the second calendar quarter of 2012 or later, regardless of whether such Rebates relate to Products sold by Canadian Seller or Buyer.
(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or Section 8.5, or being limited thereby, after the Closing, Buyer shall make all appropriate filings and submissions with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, any Canadian programs and other Government Authorities in regard to all Chargebacks and Rebates owing to such Government Authorities for Products sold by Buyer, including without limitation updates to Buyer’s Medicaid Drug Rebate Agreement and any required filings. Sellers shall bear no responsibility for Buyer’s failure to make such filings and submissions or any delays resulting therefrom.
(e) Nothing in this Section 8.4 shall prohibit Sellers from ceasing operations or winding up their affairs following the Closing.
Section 8.5 Transfer of Regulatory Matters.
(a) Promptly after the Closing and in any event within one (1) day after the Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall file with the FDA, Health Canada or other Governmental Authority the notices and information required pursuant to any applicable regulation or requirement, such as 21 C.F.R. § 314.72, or any successor regulation thereto, to transfer the Product Registrations from Sellers to Buyer. The Parties also agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts, and in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing, to take any and all other actions required by the FDA, Health Canada, or other Governmental Authority, if any, to effect the transfer of the Product Registrations from Sellers to Buyer. For greater certainty, Buyer may not market or sell Products in Canada prior to completion of the filings of the required notices and information contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 8.5(a).
(b) Promptly after the Closing and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall make all appropriate filings and submissions with Governmental Authorities, including but not limited to, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the FDA and Health Canada, to register NDC Numbers and DINs and transfer all regulatory responsibilities, excluding all Excluded Liabilities, attaching thereto of each Product, from Sellers to Buyer.
(c) Except as provided in Section 8.5(a) and Section 8.5(b), from and after the Closing, Buyer, at its cost, shall be solely responsible and liable for (i) taking all actions, paying all fees and conducting all communication with the appropriate Governmental Authority required by any Law in respect of the Product Registrations, including preparing and filing all reports
39
(including adverse drug experience reports) with the appropriate Governmental Authority, (ii) paying all future Chargebacks and Rebates due to any Governmental Authority for Products sold by Buyer, (iii) taking all actions and conducting all communication with Third Parties in respect of Products sold by Buyer, including responding to (A) complaints in respect thereof, including complaints related to tampering or contamination, and (B) all medical information requests, (iv) investigating all complaints and adverse drug experiences in respect of such Products, provided further that nothing in this Section 8.5(c) shall prohibit Sellers from ceasing operations or winding up their affairs following the Closing.
(d) Subject to Section 12.15, Sellers shall be solely responsible and liable for all Chargebacks and Rebates due to any Governmental Authority for Products bearing Seller’s NDC Number.
Section 8.6 Adverse Event Reporting. Each of Buyer and Sellers shall promptly notify the other of any significant adverse events that relate to the Products or are required in accordance with any Law, including adverse drug experiences and governmental inquiries, and each of Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate with the other in connection therewith as reasonably requested by the other Party and as follows:
(a) Serious Adverse Events related to any Product of which Sellers become aware shall be submitted to Buyer within three (3) Business Days but no more than four (4) calendar days from the date Sellers first become aware of such Serious Adverse Event. Non-Serious Adverse Events for any Product that are reported to Sellers shall be submitted to Buyer no more than one (1) month from the date received by Sellers; provided, however, that medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent a Serious Adverse Event outcome. In no event shall Sellers submit to Buyer any adverse event report or similar information that does not relate to the Products.
(b) Until the reporting procedures referenced in Section 8.6(d) herein have been instituted by Buyer and Sellers, a “Serious Adverse Event” for any Product shall have the meaning set forth in 21 C.F.R. § 314.80(a), as amended from time to time, and a “Non-Serious Adverse Event” for any Product is defined any adverse event that is not a Serious Adverse Event.
(c) As provided in Section 8.5(c) above, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall be solely responsible for reporting adverse events related to the Products to Governmental Authorities to the extent required by applicable Laws.
(d) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer and Sellers shall discuss and develop mutually acceptable guidelines and procedures for the receipt, recordation, reporting, communication (as between the Parties) and exchange of Serious Adverse Event and Non-Serious Adverse Event information, as applicable, to the other Party; provided that Buyer shall have exclusive responsibility for communications with Governmental Authorities concerning the Products and related Serious Adverse Event and Non-Serious Adverse Event information. The Parties shall bear their respective costs incurred in connection with receiving, recording, reviewing, reporting, communicating and exchanging with each other
40
regarding and, as applicable, reporting and responding to Serious Adverse Events and Non-Serious Adverse Events.
Section 8.7 Use of Sellers’ Brand. Other than as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, Buyer will have no right, title, interest, license or any other right whatsoever in or to, and shall not use or permit any of its Affiliates to use, the name “Graceway” or any names, words, service marks, trademarks, trade names, identifying symbols, logos, emblems, signs, insignia or other business identifiers containing or comprising the foregoing, including any derivations, translations, modifications or alterations thereof, or any word, name or xxxx confusingly similar thereto (the “Sellers’ Brand”); provided that Sellers hereby grant to Buyer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable limited right and license to use, Sellers’ Brand (a) as it appears on existing (as of the Closing Date) Labeling and packaging for existing Inventory purchased hereunder, and (b) on Labeling and packaging for Products sold in Canada following the Closing (whether or not such Products are Inventory purchased hereunder or manufactured following the Closing), in each case for a period of time ending on the one hundred eightieth (180th) day after the Closing Date. Buyer and its Affiliates shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and any of their Affiliates for any claims (other than claims resulting from the gross negligence of Sellers or any of their Affiliates or representatives) arising from or relating to the use by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of the Sellers’ Brand pursuant to this Section 8.7. The Parties agree that damages would be an inadequate remedy in the event of a breach of this Section 8.7, and that a Person seeking to enforce this Section 8.7 shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any breach hereof in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.
Section 8.8 Post-Closing Books and Records and Personnel. For seven (7) years after the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be required by any Governmental Authority or ongoing claim), (a) neither Buyer nor any Seller shall dispose of or destroy any of the business records and files of the Business and (b) Buyer and Sellers (including, for clarity, any trust established under a Chapter 11 plan of Sellers or any other successors of Sellers) shall allow each other and their respective Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable advance notice, to all employees, files and any books and records and other materials included in the Acquired Assets for purposes relating to the Bankruptcy Case, the Canadian Proceedings, the wind-down of the operations of Sellers, the functions of any such trusts or successors, or other reasonable business purposes, including Tax matters, governmental contracts, litigation, or potential litigation, each as it relates to any Product, the Business, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities prior to the Closing Date (with respect to Sellers) or from and after the Closing Date (with respect to the Buyer), and Buyer and Sellers (including any such trust or successors) and such Representatives shall have the right to make copies of any such files, books, records and other materials. In addition, from and after the Closing for a period of 60 days, Sellers will permit Buyer and its Representatives access to such personnel of Sellers during normal business hours as Buyer may reasonably request to assist with the transfer of the Inventory, Permits, Documents, Business Intellectual Property and Product Registrations, provided that (i) nothing in this Section 8.8 shall prohibit Sellers from ceasing operations or winding up their affairs following the Closing, (ii) Buyer shall reimburse Sellers for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenditure or obligation incurred by Sellers after the Closing directly related to assistance provided pursuant to this Section 8.8 with the transfer and integration of the Inventory, Permits, Documents, Business Intellectual Property and Product
41
Registrations, and (iii) the provisions of this Section 8.8 are acknowledged and agreed by the Parties to be in addition to, and in no way limit, the provisions of Section 2.6.
Section 8.9 Confidentiality.
(a) Sellers agree not to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its employees not to, divulge to any Person (other than Buyer or its Affiliates or any persons employed or designated by such entities), publish or make use of any information of any type whatsoever of a confidential nature relating to the Products or the Acquired Assets, including, without limitation, all types of trade secrets, client lists or information, information regarding product development, marketing plans, management organization information, operating policies or manuals, performance results, packaging design or other financial, commercial, business or technical information, except (i) such knowledge or information that is in the public domain through no wrongful act by any Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer or its Affiliates (as the case may be), (ii) for disclosure made pursuant to and in accordance with any Contract to which any Seller or any Affiliate of Seller is a party, and (iii) as required by applicable law, by an order of a court having competent jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate government agency. This confidentiality provision has no temporal or geographical limitation.
(b) Sellers and Buyer hereby agree that the Confidentiality Agreement, dated April 29, 2011, between Graceway Pharmaceuticals, LLC and Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation shall terminate, and no party shall have any further obligations thereunder, effective concurrently with the Closing.
Section 8.10 Nycomed Litigation. After the Closing Date, if Buyer receives any proceeds, judgments, payments, expense reimbursements, property or rights (without regard to how any such items are characterized by a court, arbitrator, agreement or the parties to the Nycomed Litigation and specifically including, but not limited, to rights to future royalties or revenue streams, license or cross-licensing rights, marketing rights, services, or any other rights the value of which can be reasonably ascertained or estimated) relating to or arising from the final resolution of all or any portion of the Nycomed Litigation, the value of such proceeds, judgments, payments, expense reimbursements, property or rights (the “Nycomed Award Amount”), such Nycomed Award Amount shall be distributed as follows:
(a) first, any such proceeds up to an aggregate amount of $3 million shall be transferred to Sellers in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds;
(b) second, Buyer shall retain any additional proceeds up to the amount of reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by Buyer and its Affiliates in connection with the Nycomed Litigation;
(c) third, Buyer shall transfer any additional proceeds to Sellers, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, up to an amount, when taken together with the $3 million of proceeds transferred to Sellers pursuant to Section 8.10(a), that equals the amount of reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by Sellers prior to the Closing in connection with the Nycomed Litigation (which shall in no event exceed $9,000,000); and
42
(d) fourth, Buyer shall (i) retain 50% of any additional proceeds and (ii) transfer the remaining 50% of such proceeds to Sellers in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
Within ten (10) Business Days after indefeasible receipt by Buyer of any funds constituting Sellers’ portion of the Nycomed Award Amount, Buyers shall pay to US Sellers in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the amount apportioned to Sellers above (or the applicable portion thereof). To the extent all or any portion of the Nycomed Award Amount may be payable to Buyers in future increments. Buyers and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith appropriate arrangements for the payment to Sellers of Sellers’ portion of such delayed payments either (x) over time as such amounts are received by Buyers or (y) as a single lump sum of the agreed net present value of such payment streams. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall have full control over the defense of the Nycomed Litigation and any decisions related thereto, including any potential settlements, and Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with such defense. On and after the Closing Date, Buyers shall keep Sellers informed of any material developments in the Nycomed Litigation including any settlement offers and acceptances. Buyer shall provide Sellers reasonably detailed information, including copies of any related settlement agreement or license agreement as well as supporting documents and materials, related to any resolution (whether or not appealable) of the matters related to the Nycomed Litigation, and Buyer shall allow Sellers reasonable access to employees and outside counsel of Buyer to resolve any questions or ambiguities related to such information.

TERMINATION
Section 11.1 Termination Events. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:
(a) by either Sellers or Buyer:
(i) if the Bankruptcy Court declines to approve this Agreement for any reason, if the Canadian Court fails to enter the Canadian Sale and Vesting Order or if a Governmental Authority issues a final, non-appealable ruling or Order permanently prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby, provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(a)(i) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein results in such ruling or Order;
(ii) by mutual written consent of Sellers and Buyer; or
(iii) if the Closing shall not have occurred by the close of business on January 27, 2012 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that (A) Buyer shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(a)(iii) only if (x) Buyer is not in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein in such a way that would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.1 or Section 10.4 to be satisfied and (y) Buyer has provided written notice to Sellers of its intention to exercise its rights under this Section 11.1(a)(iii) and Sellers have not taken all actions necessary to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice from Buyer, and (B) Sellers shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(a)(iii) only if (x) Sellers are not themselves in breach of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein in such a way that would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 to be satisfied and (y) Sellers have provided written notice to Buyer of their intention to exercise their rights under this Section 11.1(a)(iii) and Buyer has not taken all actions necessary to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice from Sellers.
(b) by Buyer:
(i) in the event of any breach by any Seller of any of its agreements, covenants, representations or warranties contained herein (provided such breach would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 to be satisfied), and the failure of Sellers to cure such breach by the earlier of (A) the Outside Date and (B) the date that is thirty (30) days after receipt of the Buyer
46
Termination Notice; provided, however, that (1) Buyer is not in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Sale Order, (2) Buyer notifies Sellers in writing (the “Buyer Termination Notice”) of its intention to exercise its rights under this Section 11.1(b)(i) as a result of the breach, and (3) Buyer specifies in the Buyer Termination Notice the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein of which Sellers are allegedly in breach;
(ii) if the Bankruptcy Case is dismissed or converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and neither such dismissal nor conversion expressly contemplates the transactions provided for in this Agreement; or
(iii) if the Sale Order has not been entered on or before January 2, 2012 (or is vacated or stayed as of such date).
(c) by Sellers in the event of any breach by Buyer of any of its agreements, covenants, representations or warranties contained herein (provided such breach would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.1 or Section 10.4 to be satisfied), and the failure of Buyer to cure such breach by the earlier of (A) the Outside Date and (B) the date that is thirty (30) days after receipt of the Sellers Termination Notice; provided, however, that Sellers (1) are not themselves in material breach of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Sale Order, (2) with concurrence of the Receiver, notify Buyer in writing (the “Sellers Termination Notice”) of their intention to exercise their rights under this Section 11.1(c) as a result of the breach, and (3) specify in the Sellers Termination Notice the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein of which Buyer is allegedly in breach.
Section 11.2 Effect of Termination.

Sellers acknowledge and agree that, in such event, the Deposit shall be allocated among US Sellers and Canadian Seller on the same basis as contemplated by clause (i) of Section 3.5.
(b) In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article XI (other than a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c)), Sellers and Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent to, and the Escrow Agent shall, promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days of such instruction) return to Buyer the Deposit by wire transfer of

Section 12.3 Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no waiver that may be given by a Party shall be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given, and (b) no notice to or demand on one Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand.
Section 12.4 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement (including the Schedules and the Exhibits) and the other Transaction Documents supersede all prior agreements between Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, with respect to its subject matter and constitute a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreements between Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, with respect to their subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by all of the Parties.
Section 12.5 Assignment. This Agreement, and the rights, interests and obligations hereunder, shall not be assigned by any Party by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of the other Parties (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such other Party); provided, however, that Buyer shall be permitted, upon prior notice to Sellers, to assign all or part of its rights or obligations hereunder to an Affiliate, but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement, and Sellers shall be permitted to assign all or part of their rights or obligations hereunder pursuant to a plan of reorganization or liquidation approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
Section 12.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability.
Section 12.7 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Parties shall bear their own respective expenses (including all compensation and expenses of counsel, financial advisors, consultants, actuaries and independent
50
accountants) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (except as otherwise specified herein).
Section 12.8 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Jury Trial Waiver.
(a) Except to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or the provisions of the CJA or other Laws applicable in the Canadian Proceedings apply, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to Contracts made and to be performed entirely in such state without regard to principles of conflicts or choice of laws or any other law that would make the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware applicable hereto.
(b) Without limitation of any Party’s right to appeal any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for such matters as must be dealt with by the Canadian Court in the Canadian Proceedings) and (ii) any and all claims relating to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court, and the Parties hereby consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Proceeding; provided, however, that, if the Bankruptcy Case is closed, all Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in a Delaware state court or a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, and the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such Proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Proceeding. The Parties consent to service of process by mail (in accordance with Section 12.2) or any other manner permitted by law.
(c) THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF SELLERS OR BUYER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES IN THE NEGOTIATION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF.
Section 12.9 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original of this Agreement or such amendment and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.2, delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any amendment hereto by telecopier, facsimile or email attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such amendment, as applicable.
Section 12.10 Parties in Interest; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted
51
assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable benefit, claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind.
Section 12.11 Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, unitholder, partner or equityholder of any Seller shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Sellers under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and Buyer hereby covenants, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, not to xxx any past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, unitholder, partner or equityholder of any Seller for any such claim.
Section 12.12 Schedules; Materiality. The inclusion of any matter in any Schedule shall be deemed to be an inclusion for all purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such disclosure is sufficient to identify the Section to which such disclosure is responsive, but inclusion therein shall not be deemed to constitute an admission, or otherwise imply, that any such matter is material or creates a measure for materiality for purposes of this Agreement. The disclosure of any particular fact or item in any Schedule shall not be deemed an admission as to whether the fact or item is “material” or would constitute a “Material Adverse Effect.”
Section 12.13 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) irreparable injury, for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, will occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or are otherwise breached, and (b) the non-breaching Party or Parties shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, to obtain (without the posting of any bond) specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. If any Proceeding is brought by the non-breaching Party or Parties to enforce this Agreement, the Party in breach shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
Section 12.14 Survival. All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms. All other covenants and agreements contained herein, and all representations and warranties contained herein or in any certificated deliveries hereunder, shall not survive the Closing and shall thereupon terminate.
Section 12.15 Prepetition Claims and Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and taking into account US Sellers’ status as debtors-in-possession in the Bankruptcy Cases and the limitations set forth in the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, with respect the payment of prepetition claims (including, without limitation, prepetition claims on account of Rebates, returns, Chargebacks or coupons)), US Seller shall not be required to pay or otherwise satisfy any prepetition claims or liabilities (other than (i) Sellers’ obligations to pay Cure Costs to the extent required by this Agreement, (ii) Sellers’ obligations to pay any fees due to any regulatory authority in the Ordinary Course of Business in accordance with Section 7.2(a), except, for the avoidance of doubt, those related to any Rebates, returns, Chargebacks or coupons, (iii) Sellers’ obligations under Section 7.2(b)(iii) to pay any Governmental Authority with respect to the prosecution and maintenance of applicable material Registered Business Intellectual Property, and (iv) Sellers’ obligations to Buyer under Sections
52
3.2, 11.2(b) and 11.2(c) of this Agreement) and none of Sellers’ covenants or obligations hereunder shall be construed, directly or indirectly, to require such payment or satisfaction.
Section 12.16 Receiver. For greater certainty, nothing herein or in any xxxx of sale or similar document shall constitute an express or implied representation or warranty by the Receiver or shall create any liability or obligation for the Receiver.
