Section 4.4 Filings and Authorizations.

agree to cooperate with and promptly to consult with, to provide any reasonably available information with respect to, and to provide, subject to appropriate confidentiality provisions, copies of all presentations and filings to any Governmental Entity to the other party or its counsel.
Section 4.5 Insurance. Buyer acknowledges that all insurance coverage for the Company and its Subsidiaries under policies of Sellers and their Affiliates shall terminate as of the Closing and, following the Closing, no claims may be brought against any policy of Sellers and their Affiliates in respect of the Company or its Subsidiaries regardless of whether the events underlying such claim arose prior to or after the Closing.
Section 4.6 Use of Certain Marks. Drawbridge shall cause Cardio and its Subsidiaries to, in no event later than the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, cease to (i) make any use of any names or Trademarks that include the terms (A) “Iroko” or any other Trademark set forth in Section 4.6 of the Disclosure Letter, and (B) any names or Trademarks related thereto or containing or comprising the foregoing, including any names or Trademarks confusingly similar thereto or dilutive thereof (the “Iroko Marks”), and (ii) hold themselves out as having any affiliation with Buyer or the Company or any of their current or former Affiliates. In furtherance thereof, in no event later than the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Drawbridge shall cause Cardio and its Subsidiaries to (i) remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all Iroko Marks from all assets and other materials owned by Cardio and its Subsidiaries, including, any vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, websites, email, computer software and other materials and systems, and (ii) take such steps necessary to amend Cardio’s organizational documents to no longer include “Iroko.” Any use by Drawbridge, Cardio and their Subsidiaries of the Iroko Marks as permitted in this Section 4.6 is subject to their use of the Iroko Marks in a form and manner, and with standards of quality, of that in effect for the Iroko Marks as of the Closing Date. Drawbridge shall cause Cardio and its Subsidiaries not to use the Iroko Marks in a manner that would reasonably be expected to reflect negatively on the Iroko Marks or on Buyer or its Affiliates. Buyer shall have the right to terminate the foregoing license, effective immediately, if Drawbridge, Cardio or their Subsidiaries fail to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.7 shall not apply to claims arising out of, resulting from or relating to this Agreement or any obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof to its directors and officers pursuant to the LLC Agreement or any other applicable organizational documents.
35
Section 4.8 Employee Matters
(a) Except as set forth in Section 4.8(b), each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing shall continue to be employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately following the Closing (each such employee, a “Continuing Employee”) on the same terms and conditions as in effect with respect to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing; provided that nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates from amending or terminating any benefit plan, program or arrangement in accordance with the terms thereof or terminating any Continuing Employee for any reason following the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in Section 4.8(a) of the Disclosure Letter, the Continuing Employees shall not be entitled to participate in any benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) as of immediately prior to the Closing.
(b) Section 4.8(b) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of ten (10) individuals employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing who will, as of the Closing, or may thereafter as contemplated by this Section Section 4.8(b), be employed by Cardio (the individuals becoming employed by Cardio as of or after the Closing, the “Cardio Employees”). Such Persons shall be treated in the following manner:
(i) Section 4.8(b)(i) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of individuals employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing whose employment will be transferred to Cardio as of the Closing, as mutually agreed upon in good faith by Drawbridge and Buyer prior to the date hereof. In the event that any such Person listed on Section 4.8(b)(i) of the Disclosure Letter has not agreed to the assignment of his or her employment agreement to Cardio as of the Closing, it is agreed and acknowledged that such Person’s employment with the Company shall be terminated effective immediately prior to the Closing and any severance and any obligations to issue equity or equity equivalents owed to such Person shall be Excluded Liabilities that are the responsibility of Sellers after the Closing.
(ii) Section 4.8(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of individuals employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries who will be deemed to be Continuing Employees after the Closing; provided, however, that Drawbridge shall be allowed to engage in good faith negotiations with such Persons for fourteen (14) days after the Closing to become employees of Cardio. In the event that such Persons become employed by Cardio during such fourteen (14) day period they will be deemed Cardio Employees as of such time and cease to be Continuing Employees as of such time.
(iii) Section 4.8(b)(iii) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of individuals employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries who will remain as employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries for up to fourteen (14) days after the Closing. During such period (A) representatives of Cardio or Drawbridge shall be allowed to engage in good faith negotiations with such Persons to become employees of Cardio and (B) Drawbridge shall cause Cardio to promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of a related reimbursement request) reimburse Buyer and the Company for any wages, benefits or other compensation paid (whether during or after such period) to such Persons with respect to such period. In the event that any such Person listed on Section 4.8(b)(iii) of the Disclosure Letter has not agreed to an employment arrangement with Cardio at the expiration of the
36
fourteen (14) day period commencing as of the Closing, it is agreed and acknowledged that such Person’s employment with the Company shall be terminated effective immediately and any severance and obligations to issue equity or equity equivalents owed to such Persons shall be Excluded Liabilities that are the responsibility of Sellers after the Closing. In the event that such Persons become employed by Cardio during such fourteen (14) day period they will be deemed Cardio Employees as of such time; provided, however, that any such offer of employment with Cardio shall include a requirement that such Persons execute a release agreement substantially in the form delivered to such Persons prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any Person set forth on Section 4.8(b)(iii) of the Disclosure Letter be treated as a Continuing Employee at any time after the Closing.
(c) Buyer shall cause the Company to use commercially reasonable best efforts for one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date to obtain release agreements for all Continuing Employees who are not set forth on Section 2.2(b)(v) of the Disclosure Letter, in the form agreed to by Sellers and Buyer at Closing. Drawbridge agrees that the terms and conditions of such release agreements (including any consideration offered therein) shall not be altered without the prior written consent of Buyer and the offer set forth in such release agreement shall not be withdrawn during the one hundred twenty (120) day period after the Closing Date. Buyer is solely responsible for and hereby releases and forever discharges the Company, Cardio, Drawbridge, Iroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC and each of their parents, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliated entities, and each of their insurers, members, investors, present and former officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, and consultants, and each of their predecessors, affiliates, successors and assigns, whether in their individual or official capacities, and each of their current and former trustees or administrators of any pension or other benefit plan applicable to the employees or former employees, in their official and individual capacities, as well as any and all past, present and future direct and indirect parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, predecessors, successors, and assigns, and their past, present and future officers, directors, shareholders, representatives, employees, agents and attorneys, in their official and individual capacities, and all other related individuals and entities, jointly and individually (collectively, the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all manner of claims, demands, actions, complaints, causes of action, administrative claims, liability, damages, claims for punitive or liquidated damages, claims for attorney’s fees, costs and disbursements, individual or class action claims, rights, promises, agreements, controversies, obligations, or demands of any kind whatsoever, that Buyer has or might have against the Released Parties, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, at this time, at law in equity, contract or tort, from the beginning of time through the date of this Agreement, arising out of or relating to Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx or any of the Continuing Employees.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Article V and Section 6.14, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, the Company, their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, agents and representatives (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against Losses resulting from, arising out of, or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party by reason of: (i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer in this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement (except for representations and warranties that expressly speak as of an earlier date, in which case, as of such specified date) and (ii) any breach in any material respect of any of the covenants or agreements of Buyer in this Agreement after the Closing.
(b) The obligation of Buyer to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for Losses is subject to the following limitations: (i) Buyer shall not be required to provide indemnification to any Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 5.3(a)(i) (other than in cases of fraud or Losses relating to Section 3.3(b)) unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by all the Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of claims against Buyer for indemnification under Section 5.3(a)(i) exceeds the Basket, and then Buyer shall be liable only for the amount of Losses in excess of the Basket; and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Buyer is obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 5.3(a)(i) of this Agreement (other than in cases of fraud or Losses relating to Section 3.3(b)) exceed the Cap.
Section 5.4 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) In the event that any Action is commenced by a third party involving a claim for which a party required to provide indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable to a party entitled to indemnification (an “Indemnified Party”) hereunder (an “Asserted Liability”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Asserted Liability, in a manner indicating in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, an estimate of the maximum amount of such claim and the basis thereof (the “Claim Notice”); provided, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving any such Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the Indemnifying Party’s
39
sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choosing, to defend against such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend against such Asserted Liability, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend and protect the interests of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Asserted Liability, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to any settlement which does not contain an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from the subject matter of the settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control, pay or settle any Asserted Liability which the Indemnifying Party shall have undertaken to defend so long as the Indemnified Party shall also waive any right to indemnification therefor by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend against such Asserted Liability, the Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the investigation, defense and settlement thereof.
(b) If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake within the Notice Period to defend against such Asserted Liability, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in any such defense but, in such case, the Indemnified Party shall control the investigation and defense and may settle or take any other actions the Indemnified Party deems reasonably advisable without in any way waiving or otherwise affecting the Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to make available to each other, their counsel and other representatives, all information and documents available to them which relate to such claim or demand. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Company also agree to render to each other such assistance and cooperation as may reasonably be required to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such claim or demand.
(c) In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made or could be made under any other representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and shall be computed net of (i) payments recoverable by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses, (ii) any prior or subsequent recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses and (iii) any Tax benefit receivable by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V (i) to the extent that such person has already recovered such amount under any other provision of this Agreement, (ii) in the case of any Buyer Indemnified Party, to the extent any Losses were primarily caused by any Buyer Indemnified Party’s, or, in the case of any Seller Indemnified Party, to the extent any Losses were primarily caused by any Seller Indemnified Party’s (x) misrepresentation or breach of warranty, covenant or agreement, (y) gross negligence or intentional misconduct or (z) actions or omissions at or following Closing.
(e) Any Indemnified Party that has made a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate any Losses in respect thereof and to recover all amounts payable by any Person (including pursuant to any insurance policy or contractual indemnity) with respect to such Losses.
40
(f) The remedies provided in this Article V shall be deemed the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties, from and after the Closing Date, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(g) For all Tax purposes, the parties agree to treat indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
