written documentation and the information specified in Section 4.02(c)(ii) (the “Closing Date
Inventory Value Statement”), calculated using Sellers’ customary inventory movement reporting
and based on the pricing set forth in Section 4.02(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule.
(iii) If, within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date,
the Buyer disputes in good faith
the Closing Date Inventory Value Statement, then, during such sixty (60) day period, Buyer shall be
permitted to review Sellers’ books and records to the extent reasonably necessary for Buyer to
evaluate the Closing Date Inventory Value Statement. The Closing Date Inventory Value Statement
shall become final and binding upon the Parties at the end of such sixty (60) day period, unless
Buyer objects to the Closing Date Inventory Value Statement, in which case it shall send a notice
(the “Notice of Objection”) to Sellers within such period, setting forth in specific detail
the basis for its objection and its proposal for any
19
adjustments to the Closing Date Inventory Value Statement. If a timely Notice of Objection is
delivered to Sellers, then the Closing Date Inventory Value Statement shall become final and
binding on the Parties on the first to occur of (x) the date the Parties resolve in writing any
differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Objection and (y) the
date all matters in dispute are finally resolved in writing by the Accountants, in each case as
provided below. Sellers and Buyer shall seek in good faith to reach agreement as to any such
proposed adjustment or that no such adjustment is necessary within fifty (50) days following
delivery of the Notice of Objection. If agreement is reached in writing within such fifty (50)-day
period as to all proposed adjustments, or that no adjustments are necessary, the Parties shall
revise the Closing Date Inventory Value Statement accordingly. If the Parties are unable to reach
agreement within fifty (50) days following delivery of the Notice of Objection, then the
Accountants shall be engaged at that time to review the Closing Date Inventory Value Statement and
shall make a determination as to the resolution of any adjustments. The determination of the
Accountants shall be delivered as soon as practicable following engagement of the Accountants, with
the Accountants being requested to conclude their engagement no more than thirty (30) days
thereafter, and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon the Parties, and the Parties shall
revise the Closing Date Inventory Value Statement accordingly. The fees and expenses of the
Accountants shall be shared equally by Buyer and Sellers with Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers,
on the other hand, each being severally, but not jointly, responsible for one half of such fees and
expenses.
(iv) Within five (5) days after the date on which the
Closing Date Inventory Value Statement
becomes final and binding on the Parties in accordance with Section 4.02(iii): (1) if the Closing
Date Inventory Value Adjustment is a positive number, subject to Section 4.02(a)(v) below, Buyer
shall pay to Sellers the Closing Date Inventory Value Adjustment; and (2) if the Closing Date
Inventory Value Adjustment is a negative number, Sellers shall pay the absolute value of the
Closing Date Inventory Value Adjustment to Buyer; in each case by wire transfer of immediately
available funds.

Closing Date Inventory Value
Adjustment plus the Restricted Inventory Value, exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000).
(b) Restricted Inventory Value.
(i) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Buyer
shall determine in good faith,
after consultation with Sellers, whether the Restricted Inventory complies with cGMPs, applicable
specifications and applicable Law, and is therefore useable by Buyer. Buyer shall prepare and
deliver to Sellers a statement (the “Restricted Inventory Value Statement”) indicating the
amount of such Restricted Inventory that is useable by Buyer, and calculating the purchase price
for such Restricted Inventory (the “Restricted Inventory Value”), based on the pricing set
forth on Section 4.02(a) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, along with supporting written
documentation.
(ii) If, within sixty (60) days following receipt of the
Restricted Inventory Value Statement,
the Sellers give notice to Buyer that Sellers dispute in good faith the
20
Restricted Inventory Value Statement, then during such sixty (60)-day period Sellers shall be
permitted to review Buyer’s books and records relating to the Restricted Inventory to the extent
reasonably necessary for Sellers to evaluate the Restricted Inventory Value Statement. The
Restricted Inventory Value Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties at the end of
such sixty (60)-day period, unless Sellers object to the Restricted Inventory Value Statement, in
which case they shall send a notice (the “Notice of Objection”) to Buyer within such
period, setting forth in specific detail the basis for their objection and their proposal for any
changes to the Restricted Inventory Value Statement. If a timely Notice of Objection is delivered
to Buyer, then the Restricted Inventory Value Statement shall become final and binding on the
Parties on the first to occur of (x) the date the Parties resolve in writing any differences they
have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Objection and (y) the date all matters
in dispute are finally resolved in writing by either the Independent Analyst or the Accountants, in
each case as provided below. Sellers and Buyer shall seek in good faith to reach agreement as to
any such proposed changes or that no such change is necessary within fifty (50) days following
delivery of the Notice of Objection. If agreement is reached in writing within such fifty (50)-day
period as to all proposed changes, or that no changes are necessary, the Parties shall revise the
Restricted Inventory Value Statement accordingly. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement
within fifty (50) days following delivery of the Notice of Objection, then (1) if the disagreement
is with respect to the quality of the Restricted Inventory, then an Independent Analyst shall be
engaged at that time to carry out tests on representative samples taken from the Restricted
Inventory to determine if such Restricted Inventory complies with cGMPs, the specifications and
applicable Law and shall make a determination as to the Restricted Inventory that is useable by
Buyer; and (2) if the disagreement is with respect to the calculation of the value of the
Restricted Inventory, then the Accountants shall be engaged at that time to review the Restricted
Inventory Value Statement and the resolution of any changes to the Restricted Inventory Value
Statement. The determination of the Independent Analyst or the Accountants shall be delivered as
soon as practicable following engagement of the Independent Analyst or the Accountants, with the
Independent Analyst or Accountants being requested to conclude their engagements no more than
thirty (30) days thereafter, and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon the Parties, and the
Parties shall revise the Restricted Inventory Value Statement accordingly. The fees and expenses
of the Independent Analyst and Accountants shall be shared equally by Buyer and Sellers with Buyer,
on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, each being severally, but not jointly, responsible
for one half of such fees and expenses.
(iii) Subject to Section 4.02(a)(v), within five
(5) days after the date on which the
Restricted Inventory Value Statement becomes final and binding on the Parties in accordance with
Section 4.02(b)(ii), Buyer shall pay to Sellers the Restricted Inventory Value, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds.
(iv) Any Restricted Inventory that is determined not to be
useable by Buyer pursuant to this
Section 4.02(b) shall be properly destroyed or disposed of by Sellers or Buyer at Sellers’ expense.
(c) Excess Channel Inventory Value.
21
(i) Within ninety (90) days after Closing, Buyer shall
deliver to Sellers a report (the

of Closing, and identifying so called “morgue” inventory that is no longer considered active or is
considered unsaleable by such wholesalers and distributors. Section 4.02(c) of Sellers Disclosure
Schedule shall set forth the target quantity of Channel Inventory for each Product (the “Target
Quantity”). The “Excess Channel Inventory Value” shall be equal to (i) the aggregate number of
units, if any, by which a Product included in the Channel Inventory, excluding any morgue
inventory, exceeds the Target Quantity for such Product, multiplied by (ii) the WAC selling price
less normal and customary wholesaler fees, discounts, and chargebacks on the Product less the
Sellers’ standard cost of goods for that Product.
(ii) The Closing Date Inventory Value Statement shall include a
calculation of the number of
months or partial months (the “Chargeback Period”) of Channel Inventory with respect to
each Product that is held by each wholesaler, which shall be calculated by dividing the Channel
Inventory with respect to each Product held by each wholesaler by the Wholesaler’s Monthly Volume.
(iii) The Sellers shall have a thirty (30) day period to
review the Channel Inventory Report
delivered by Buyer. During such period Buyer shall share its work papers with the Sellers and
their professional advisers and make itself reasonably available to the Sellers and their
professional advisers. If Sellers dispute Buyer’s calculation of the Excess Channel Inventory
Value, Sellers shall deliver a written notice (“Channel Inventory Dispute Notice”) to Buyer
within thirty (30) days of delivery of Buyer’s calculation. Sellers shall set forth in detail in
the Channel Inventory Dispute Notice the basis for its disagreement with the Buyer’s calculation of
the Excess Channel Inventory Value. If Sellers fail to deliver the Channel Inventory Dispute
Notice within the allotted time period, Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed to the calculation
delivered by Buyer, which calculation shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties. If
Sellers dispute the calculation of the Excess Channel Inventory Value within the allotted time
period, the parties in good faith will attempt to jointly resolve any dispute during the thirty day
period following the delivery of the Channel Inventory Dispute Notice. If Buyer and Sellers
resolve their dispute and agree upon the calculation of the Excess Channel Inventory Value, they
shall memorialize their agreement in writing and such mutually agreed upon figure shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon all of the parties.
(iv) If Buyer and Sellers do not resolve the dispute to their
mutual satisfaction, Buyer and
Sellers shall engage the Accountants to determine the appropriate amount of Channel Inventory as of
the Closing Date and the Excess Channel Inventory Value, consistent with this Agreement. The fees
and expenses of the Accountants shall be shared equally by Buyer and Sellers with Buyer, on the one
hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, being severally, but not jointly, responsible for one half of
such fees and expenses. Each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall
provide the Accountants such of their respective work papers as may be requested by the
Accountants. The Accountants shall be requested to complete their engagement within forty-five
(45) days of being retained by Buyer and Sellers. The determination of the Accountants shall be
final, binding and conclusive upon the parties.
22
(v) The final determination of the Excess Channel Inventory Value
shall be referred to herein
as the “Final Excess Channel Inventory Value.” Within five (5) Business Days following
final determination of a Final Excess Channel Inventory Value that is a positive number, Sellers
shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Final Excess Channel Inventory Value.
(d) Short-Dated Inventory Value. Between the
Effective Date and the Closing, Buyer
and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to determine a fair value of the Short-Dated Inventory.
If Buyer and Sellers agree upon such a value, such value shall be added to the Inventory Value.
If Buyer and Sellers do not agree upon such a value, the Short-Dated Inventory shall be an
Excluded Asset and shall be properly destroyed or disposed of by Sellers or Buyer at Sellers’
expense.
Section 4.03 Allocation of Purchase Price.
The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets as set forth on Section 4.03
of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule hereto. Buyer and Sellers agree (a) to report the sale and
purchase of the Purchased Assets for Tax purposes in accordance with the allocations set forth on
Section 4.03 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule hereto and (b) not to take any position
inconsistent with such allocations on any of their respective tax returns. All payments made
pursuant to Section 4.02 and Article XI shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.
Section 4.04 Payment of Sales, Use and Other Taxes and Expenses.
Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each bear one-half of all sales,
use, transfer, value added, gross receipts and other similar Taxes, if any, arising out of the sale
by Sellers of the Purchased Assets to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Sellers shall pay all realty transfer, documentary and stamp taxes imposed by any state,
county or municipal law on the transfer of the Real Property. Sellers and Buyer shall apply for
and supply all necessary documentation for any available exemptions from the foregoing Taxes. All
taxes and assessments which have become a lien upon the land and which are due and payable as of
the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller except current taxes, if any, shall be prorated and

provisions of Michigan Public Acts 80 and 279 of 1994, which changes the lien date for property
taxes to December 31 of the year prior to the year in which they are billed, the parties hereto
have agreed that the lien date for purposes of this Agreement shall be the date said taxes are
billed. Seller shall pay for those taxes and assessments attributable to the period of time prior
to the Closing Date and Buyer shall pay for those taxes and assessments attributable to the period
of time commencing on the Closing Date. At Closing, Sellers shall be responsible for the payment
of the insurance premium for the title insurance policy referred to in Section 10.03,

respect to endorsements on such policy.

occurs. Sellers shall be entitled to a credit for whatever deposits Sellers may give to any such
utility companies to the extent transferred to Buyer’s account. Buyer and Sellers shall coordinate
to determine the amount of any such adjustments, and Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, shall

Section 8.05 Real Property.
(a) Buyer has ordered from the Title Company a title insurance search and commitment for a

shall provide to Buyer no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date the Survey. No
later than ten (10) business days after Buyer’s receipt of the Survey and Title Commitment, Buyer
shall notify Sellers of any Title Exceptions disclosed by the Title Commitment (or Survey) that

(c) From the date hereof until the earliest of (i) the date sixty (60) days after the
date of
this Agreement, (ii) the Closing Date and (iii) the termination of this Agreement, upon reasonable
notice to Sellers, Buyer and its employees, agents, and contractors (including any surveyors,
engineers and environmental consultants) shall have the right to enter on the Real Property from
time to time during normal business hours for the purposes of making, at Buyer’s expense, (A)
engineering, architectural, title, zoning, survey, and other similar studies that Buyer reasonably
deems necessary or desirable in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Real
Property Inspection”) and (B) Phase I and Phase II environmental studies of the Real Property
(the “Environmental Inspection”). Buyer shall coordinate with Sellers to minimize any
interference with the operations of Sellers that may be caused by any Real Property Inspection and
Environmental Inspection and shall conduct such inspections in accordance with the Access
Agreement.
(d) If, as a result of any Environmental Inspection performed by Buyer following the
Effective Date, Buyer identifies any Hazardous Substance at, on, under or migrating to or from the
Real Property that requires remediation under any applicable
44
Environmental Laws, taking into account the current use of the Real Property, but excluding
therefrom any matters disclosed on Section 6.08 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (an
“Environmental Remediation Obligation”), then, promptly after receipt of a report
pertaining to the Environmental Inspection, but in no event later than the earlier of (x) the date
sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, and (y) the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver
written notice to Sellers (the “Environmental Remediation Obligation Notice”) setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for and any evidence of an Environmental Remediation
Obligation, and a good faith estimate of the likely costs, to the extent known, associated with
such Environmental Remediation (as defined herein). If Buyer fails to give such Environmental
Remediation Obligation Notice before the date specified, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted
all matters requiring Environmental Remediation expressly disclosed in the Environmental
Inspection and to have waived any claims against Sellers with respect thereto except as provided
for in this Agreement. If Buyer delivers such Environmental Remediation Obligation Notice, Buyer
shall be deemed to have accepted all matters requiring Environmental Remediation expressly
disclosed in the Environmental Inspection other than the Environmental Remediation Obligations
expressly set forth in the notice and to have waived any claims against Sellers with respect
thereto except as provided for in this Agreement. If such Environmental Inspection reveals (and
the Environmental Remediation Obligation Notice sets forth) an Environmental Remediation
Obligation that Buyer reasonably estimates will cost more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000) to complete such Environmental Remediation, employing cost-effective methods,
applicable risk-based clean-up standards, deed restrictions and institutional and engineering
controls to the extent commercially reasonable (such Environmental Remediation Obligation, an
“Excess Remediation Obligation”), then (notwithstanding anything else contained in any
Transaction Document), either Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to
the other Party in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.05(e) below. If such
Environmental Inspection reveals (and the Environmental Remediation Obligation Notice sets forth)
an Environmental Remediation Obligation that is not an Excess Remediation Obligation, Sellers
shall perform an Environmental Remediation thereof. If Buyer delivers an Environmental
Remediation Obligation Notice which sets forth an Excess Remediation Obligation to Sellers within
ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, then (unless otherwise agreed by all Parties)
the Closing Date shall be extended by ten (10) Business Days.
(e) Upon delivery by Buyer of an Environmental Remediation Obligation Notice which sets forth
an Excess Remediation Obligation, Sellers may notify Buyer by written notice (the “Cure
Response Notice”), in no event later than the date that is five (5) Business Days after
Buyer’s delivery of the Environmental Remediation Obligation Notice (the “Cure Notice
Deadline”) that either (i) Sellers agree to conduct an Environmental Remediation of such
Excess Remediation Obligation, (ii) Sellers do not intend to conduct an Environmental Remediation
of such Excess Remediation Obligation or (iii) Sellers are terminating this Agreement. If Sellers
do not provide a Cure Response Notice to Buyer by the Cure Notice Deadline, Sellers shall be
deemed to have agreed to conduct an Environmental Remediation of such Excess Remediation
Obligation. Buyer may notify Sellers by written notice, in no event later than the date that is
five (5) Business Days after the Cure Notice Deadline (the “Buyer Termination Deadline”)
whether Buyer is terminating this Agreement. If Buyer does not
45
terminate this Agreement by the Buyer Termination Deadline or fails to respond by the Buyer
Termination Deadline, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted Sellers’ response (or deemed
response) in the Cure Response Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if Sellers notify Buyer in the
Cure Response Notice of Sellers’ intention not to conduct an Environmental Remediation of the
Excess Remediation Obligation and Buyer does not terminate this Agreement as provided herein,
Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such Excess Remediation Obligation. If Sellers notify
Buyer in the Cure Response Notice of Sellers’ agreement to conduct an Environmental Remediation of
the Excess Remediation Obligation (or Seller is deemed to have agreed to conduct such
Environmental Remediation) and Buyer does not terminate this Agreement as provided herein, Buyer
shall be deemed to have accepted Sellers’ Environmental Remediation of the Excess Remediation
Obligation. If Sellers have accepted or have been deemed to have accepted a Remediation
Obligation or an Excess Remediation Obligation and Sellers do not complete the Environmental
Remediation on or prior to Closing, then Sellers shall be contractually obligated to complete such
Environmental Remediation promptly following Closing. Buyer’s rights under Section 8.05(d) and
Section 8.05(e) and its enforcement of any contractual obligations undertaken by Sellers pursuant
to this Section 8.05(e) shall be Buyer’s exclusive remedies for any Excess Remediation Obligation
or Environmental Remediation Obligation identified in any Environmental Inspection.
(f) If Sellers perform any Environmental Remediation pursuant to this Section 8.05,
Sellers
shall (i) select a qualified consultant to oversee such remediation, subject to the approval of
Buyer, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (ii) provide
Buyer with a reasonable opportunity to comment in advance upon any material written
communications, filings, reports, correspondence or other writings given to any Governmental or
Regulatory Authority and to participate in any meetings with such Governmental or Regulatory
Authority in connection with such Environmental Remediation; (iii) comply with applicable Laws,
including Environmental Laws; (iv) employ cost-effective remediation methods, use applicable
risk-based clean-up standards and employ deed restrictions and institutional and engineering
controls to the extent commercially reasonable and approved by Buyer, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, it being agreed that Buyer will not oppose any
restrictions that limit the use of the Real Property to industrial uses or which prohibit the use
of groundwater beneath the Real Property; (v) keep Buyer reasonably informed of the progress of
any such Environmental Remediation and the schedule for completing such Environmental Remediation;
and (vi) within three (3) Business Days of receipt, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide
to Buyer copies of all material written communications, filings, reports, correspondence or other
writings, photographs or materials received from any Person (including any Governmental or
Regulatory Authority) in connection with any such Environmental Remediation.
(g) After the Closing, Buyer shall permit Sellers and their representatives and consultants
access to the Real Property for the purpose of performing the Environmental Remediation, so long
as Sellers use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of
Buyer’s business, as described more fully in the Environmental Remediation Site Access Agreement
among King, Parkedale and Buyer (the “ER Access Agreement”). Following completion of any
Environmental Remediation performed by Sellers, Sellers shall promptly return the Real Property to
substantially the same condition in which it
46
existed prior to the commencement of the Environmental Remediation (except with respect to
Hazardous Substances remediated) and close any xxxxx in accordance with applicable Laws and
industry standards. After the Closing, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers with respect
to any Environmental Remediation performed by Sellers pursuant to this Section 8.05 as provided in
the ER Access Agreement.
Section 8.06 Public Announcements.
Sellers and Buyer agree that immediately following the execution of this Agreement, they will
issue a joint press release in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Prior
to and in connection with the Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to coordinate in connection with any press release or public announcement relating to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Sellers and Buyer agree that prior and
subsequent to the Closing, no Party may use the names of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Principal
Investments, Inc. (“MSPI”) or any of MSPI’s Affiliates in any public announcement, posting
of information on a website or written news release relating to this transaction without the prior
written consent of MSPI, except that Sellers may publicly identify the relationship between Buyer
and MSPI to the extent contained in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit B.
Section 8.07 Bulk Sales. Without limitation of Buyer’s rights under Section 11.02(a)
hereunder, Buyer hereby acknowledges that Sellers are not complying with the provisions of any bulk
sales Laws of any jurisdiction applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 8.08 Financing. Buyer has sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources
of immediately available funds to enable it to pay the Purchase Price. Buyer will have at Closing
sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of immediately available funds to
enable it to, immediately after the Closing, continue the operation of the Business. To the extent
that Buyer intends to finance any portion of the Purchase Price, Buyer has delivered to Seller true
and correct copies of commitment letters from Buyer’s equity investors (the “Commitment
Letters”) pursuant to which such investors have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth therein, to provide the financing needed for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(the “Financing”). As of the date hereof, the Commitment Letters are in full force and
effect without amendment or modification, are the valid and binding obligations of each party
thereto and have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. Except as set forth in the
Commitment Letters, there are no other conditions to the consummation of the Financing and Buyer
has no reason to believe that any condition to the Commitment Letters will not be satisfied or
waived prior to the Closing Date. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of Buyer to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not conditioned upon the closing of
the Financing.
Section 8.09 Non-Solicitation.
(a) Except as provided in Section 8.19, Buyer agrees that, without the prior written
consent
of Sellers, for a period commencing on the date hereof and expiring on the
47
first anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall not directly or indirectly (a) induce,
encourage or solicit any officer or employee of Sellers or any of their Affiliates to leave such
employment or to accept any other position or employment with Buyer; or (b) assist any Affiliate
or representative of Buyer in hiring such employee; provided, however, that the foregoing
provision shall not prohibit Buyer from hiring any such officer or employee (x) through general
advertising that is not targeted directly at Sellers or any of their Affiliates, or (y) whose
employment or business relationship with Sellers or any of their Affiliates is terminated by
Sellers or any of their Affiliates, as the case may be.
(b) Sellers agree that, without the prior written consent of Buyer, for a period commencing
on the date hereof and expiring on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Sellers shall not
directly or indirectly (a) induce, encourage or solicit any officer or employee of Buyer or any of
its Affiliates to leave such employment or to accept any other position or employment with

provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not prohibit Sellers from hiring any such
officer or employee (x) through general advertising that is not targeted directly at Buyer or any
of its Affiliates or (y) whose employment or business relationship with Buyer or any of its
Affiliates is terminated by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be.

Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer hereunder, Buyer shall not have any rights by virtue of this
Agreement or any of the transactions or agreements contemplated hereby to any of the corporate
names of any of the Sellers set forth on Section 8.10 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, or any
trademarks, trade names, trade dress, symbols, service marks or logos incorporating such the names
or variations or derivations thereof (such non-transferred Intellectual Property Rights, the
“Corporate Names”).
(b) During the first twelve (12) months following the Closing (or such shorter period as
any
Governmental or Regulatory Authority shall designate) or the earlier depletion of the Inventory
bearing the Corporate Names, Buyer may sell and distribute items of Inventory that bear any of the
Corporate Names; provided that Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it shall use its Reasonable
Efforts to use or sell such items of Inventory prior to selling any other product under the
trademark or trade name of such Product.
(c) Buyer may use any marketing materials included in the Purchased Assets following Closing;
provided that Buyer completely removes all Corporate Names from, or completely covers all
Corporate Names on, such materials.
(d) Buyer shall use its Reasonable Efforts to obtain its own NDC numbers for each of the

title and interest in and to the Corporate Names. Buyer expressly acknowledges that
48
Sellers and their Affiliates own the Corporate Names, and agrees that it will not attack,
dispute or contest the validity of or ownership of the Corporate Names, or any registrations
issued or issuing with respect thereto. Buyer further agrees that all use of the Corporate Names
by or on behalf of Buyer shall be for the benefit of Sellers and their Affiliates and the goodwill
accrued in connection with its use of the Corporate Names shall accrue to the benefit of Sellers
or their Affiliates, as appropriate. In the event Buyer acquires any rights relating to the
Corporate Names for any reason, Buyer agrees to, and does hereby, assign, at no cost, all such
rights, together with any related goodwill, to Sellers or their Affiliates, as appropriate. Buyer
shall not take any action which endangers, destroys or similarly affects the value of the goodwill
pertaining to the Corporate Names and further agrees that it will maintain the same quality of the
Products as used by Sellers and their Affiliates in the use of the Purchased Assets as of the
Closing for any Product sold under the Corporate Names. Buyer will at any time execute any
documents reasonably required by Sellers or their Affiliates to confirm Sellers’ or their
Affiliates’ ownership of all such rights in the Corporate Names. Buyer shall not use in
connection with the Products, or allow any of its Affiliates to use in connection with the
Products, any other trademark or trade name that is similar to or so nearly resembles the
Corporate Names as to be likely to cause deception or confusion.
Section 8.11 Assistance in Collecting Excluded Receivables.

that Government Rebates are billed on a calendar quarter basis and to the extent that such ninety
(90) day period does not end on a calendar quarter, amounts payable for such calendar quarter shall
be prorated between Sellers and Buyer in proportion to the number of days during such calendar
quarter that fall before, or on or after, the end of such ninety (90) day period. With respect to

Sellers shall provide to Buyer, upon Buyer’s reasonable request, copies of any documents and
records evidencing the original Rebate claims and any resubmission of such claims and data relating
to unit Rebate calculations that are reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to resolve such disputed
amount. In the event that Buyer disputes an amount owed under a Government Rebate, Buyer shall be
responsible for reimbursing Sellers the amounts paid by Sellers and then Buyer shall dispute the
claim directly with the applicable government/state.

Contract of Sellers providing for the payment of commercial
Rebates and administrative fees with respect to the Products (“Rebate Contracts”) no later than
five (5) Business Days following the Closing. Sellers shall continue to honor all such Rebate
Contracts for the period necessary to comply with the termination language thereof. Sellers shall
not assign to Buyer, and Buyer shall not assume, any of the Rebate Contracts. Within five (5)
Business Days following the Closing, Sellers shall issue a letter to commercial Rebate customers
advising such customers of Sellers’ sale of the Products and the allocation of responsibilities in

Section 8.16(c).

responsible for the administration and payment of all
commercial Rebates related to the Products under King’s NDC numbers under the Rebate Contracts
until their termination becomes effective; provided, however, that Buyer will be financially
responsible, and shall reimburse Sellers, for those commercial Rebates which relate to sales of the
Products by customers that occur after the Chargeback Period. With respect to any commercial
Rebate for which Buyer is financially responsible under this Section 8.16(c), payment shall be made

53
government and commercial Chargeback customers advising such customers of sellers’
responsibilities in connection with Chargeback Contracts and associated Chargebacks and
administrative fees.
(ii) With respect to wholesaler chargebacks and any associated administrative or service fees
related to sales of Products sold by or on behalf of the Sellers or sold by or on behalf of Buyer

sales of Products by such wholesaler during to the applicable Chargeback Period. Thereafter, Buyer
shall be financially responsible for all Vendor Chargebacks. Each Party shall invoice the other
Party on a monthly basis with respect to any Vendor Chargebacks for which the other Party bears
responsibility and as to which the invoicing Party issues a credit or otherwise makes payment,
which invoice shall include detail of such Vendor Chargebacks on an itemized basis, and the other
Party shall pay all such invoices within thirty (30) days after its receipt thereof.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.16, the Parties
acknowledge that the VA National Acquisition Center must approve the removal of the Products from
Sellers’ FSS Contract and Buyer must enter into a FSS Contract with the VA National Acquisition
Center before the responsibility for processing FSS Chargebacks is transferred from Sellers to
Buyer. Accordingly, in the event such approval is not obtained and such agreement is not in place
prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall continue to be responsible for processing the FSS
Chargebacks on Buyer’s behalf until such approval is obtained, and Buyer shall reimburse Sellers
for the actual FSS Chargebacks paid for such Products sold by Buyers after the Closing Date. If
required pursuant to the terms of any Seller FSS Contract, Sellers shall, from and after the
Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the applicable federal government
contracting officer or agency a written consent to the subcontracting of such FSS Contract to
Buyer. From and after the Closing Date until such time as Buyer enters into a replacement contract
with respect to the FSS Contract or until all Inventory under King’s NDC numbers is depleted, (i)
Buyer shall honor and perform all obligations of the Sellers under and pursuant to the FSS Contract

prices required by such FSS Contract, (ii) Sellers shall not cause or permit any of the Products to
be deleted from such FSS Contract, (iii) the Sellers shall maintain such FSS Contract in full force

thereof that Buyer reasonably requires in order to comply with applicable rules and regulations
relating to Pub. L. 102-585 as it relates to the FSS and Section 340B of the Public Health Services
Act. When requested, such information shall be provided by Sellers to Buyer promptly, and in any
event, within ten (10) Business Days after Buyer’s written request therefor.
54

receiving and processing customer orders and for shipping and invoicing customers for the
Products. Promptly following the Closing, the Parties shall jointly issue a letter to customers
within the trade (wholesalers and distributors) notifying such customers that all future Product
orders are to be placed with Buyer and that all returns of Products are to be delivered to Buyer,
and providing the appropriate contact information for Buyer’s personnel, a draft of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit C.
(f) Changes in WAC. In the event that Buyer increases the published Wholesale
Acquisition Cost (“WAC”) of any of the Products from the Closing until one (1) year
following the date of Buyer’s last sale of any Product bearing Sellers’ NDC number, Buyer shall
promptly notify Sellers of such increase. Thereafter, Buyer shall provide to Sellers such
information regarding increases in WAC as may be necessary in order to calculate the parties’
respective obligations with respect to returns, Rebates and Chargebacks. Sellers shall not be
financially responsible for that portion of any Rebate, Chargeback or amount paid or credit given
in respect of a Product return that is attributable to any increase in the WAC of any Product
after the Closing Date, and Buyer promptly shall reimburse Sellers for the increase in amounts
associated with returns, Rebates or Chargebacks as a result of such increase in WAC.

and waiver presented to such employee with respect to the Closing (each, a “Closing
Employee,” and collectively, the “Closing Employees”), in each case with: (i)
substantially the same responsibilities and duties, (ii) a base salary plus amount of target bonus
or hourly rate applicable to such Closing Employee as set forth in Section 8.19 of the Sellers

approved leave of absence as of the date of the Closing, and who become capable of returning to
their regular job duties on a full-time basis within six months of the Closing Date at the
conclusion of their approved leave of absence if sooner than six months from the Closing Date, or
if on military leave within two
56
weeks after the completion of their military leave, Buyer will offer employment to such

commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in making offers and hiring any of the Existing

the Effective Date until Closing, as set forth in Section 8.04, and using commercially reasonable
efforts to encourage the Existing Employees to accept employment with Buyer; provided that nothing

or otherwise compete with Buyer’s effort to hire any Existing Employees.
(b) Sellers shall be responsible for (i) any payments due to any Existing Employees at any
time pursuant to any retention bonus arrangement, severance plan or program, change in control
provision or similar arrangement to which any Seller is a party that is in effect on or prior to

from Sellers or such Affiliate for service prior to the Closing Date and as provided under
Sellers’ 401(k) Plan, and shall be entitled to a distribution of his or her account balance under
Sellers’ 401(k) Plan in accordance with such plan to the extent permitted by the Code. Hired
Employees who receive an eligible rollover distribution (within the meaning of Section 402(f)(2)
of the Code, including a direct rollover distribution within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of
the Code) from Sellers’ 401(k) Plan shall, subject to the provisions of Section 402 of the Code,
be permitted to make a rollover contribution to a defined contribution
57
plan of Buyer (the “Buyer Defined Contribution Plan”). Sellers and Buyer shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish the rollover of plan loans to Hired Employees from
Sellers’ 401(k) Plan to the Buyer Defined Contribution Plan, as promptly as practicable during the
60 days following the Closing Date.
(g) Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, with respect to any vacation, 401(k) and

terms and conditions of both plans.

Employee terminated by Buyer for any reason on or after the date of hire, to pay all Liabilities
of Buyer, including any liability triggered under any severance plans, programs and agreements of
Buyer relating to Hired Employees under statute or common law (“Buyer Severance”), any
liability relating to the violation of any Law, and any employment compensation or government
mandated benefits relating to the termination of any Hired Employees on or after the date of hire
by Buyer, including under the WARN Act or common law. Nothing in this Section 8.19 shall be
construed as limiting Buyer’s right to terminate any Hired Employee at any time, with or without
cause.
(k) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume
all terms and obligations of the CBA with respect to the Facility, except as otherwise agreed by
the applicable union. Buyer shall offer employment to the bargaining unit Existing Employees

duties on a full-time basis within six months of the Closing Date or at the conclusion of their
approved leave of absence if sooner than six months from the Closing Date, or if on military leave
within two weeks after the completion of their military leave, Buyer will offer employment to such
employees in accordance with the CBA.

and demands under the WARN Act, or any state plant closing or notification law, or similar law in

adverse drug experience” and “unexpected” used in this Section shall have the meaning set forth in
21 CFR 314.80.

independent contractor, investor, lender or principal or in any other capacity, in any Competing
Business in any city, county, state, or other territory of the United States; provided,

that the passive ownership by Sellers or its Affiliates of not more than five percent (5%) of
any class of equity securities of any Person that engages in a Competing Business, will not be
deemed to be a breach of this Section 8.21; provided, further, that the Acquisition by any Seller
or its Affiliates of any Competing Business will not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 8.21
so long as (i) Seller did not acquire such assets of (or Person holding) the Competing Business
for the purpose of acquiring the Competing Business, and (ii) if at any xxxx Xxxxxx wishes to
offer for sale the Competing Business, Seller shall first offer to Buyer the right to purchase the

hold
that the duration or scope restrictions stated herein are unreasonable or unenforceable under
circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration or scope permitted by
applicable Law under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration or scope.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Section 8.21 will be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable Law. If the provisions of this Section 8.21 are held
unforeseeable to any extent in any jurisdiction, such holding shall not impair the enforceability

time as such claim is finally resolved.
Section 11.02 Indemnification.
(a) By Sellers. Subject to Sections 11.01 and 11.03, Sellers shall jointly and
severally indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates, and their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Sellers
63
Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs, losses, Liabilities,
damages, lawsuits, deficiencies, claims, fines, penalties, interest and expenses (including
reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys) (collectively, the “Damages”), incurred in
connection with, arising out of, or resulting from (i) any breach of any covenant or agreement of
Sellers herein required to be performed prior to the Closing, (ii) any breach of any covenant or
agreement of Sellers herein required to be performed on or after the Closing, (iii) non-compliance
with the bulk sales laws of any jurisdiction applicable to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, (iv) the inaccuracy, misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made
by Sellers in this Agreement, (v) any Third Party Claim made by any Person that Buyer’s exercise
of the license rights in and to the Corporate Names and Licensed Trademarks granted under Section
8.22 hereof infringes or misappropriates the Intellectual Property Rights of such Person, or (vi)
the failure of Sellers to pay, perform and discharge any Excluded Liabilities.
(b) By Buyer. Subject to Sections 11.01 and 11.03, Buyer shall indemnify, defend
and
hold harmless Sellers, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
successors and assigns (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties” and, together with the Sellers
Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages
incurred in connection with, arising out of, or resulting from (i) any breach of any covenant or
agreement of Buyer herein required to be performed prior to the Closing, (ii) any breach of any
covenant or agreement of Buyer herein required to be performed on or after the Closing, (iii) any
Product manufactured after the Closing by or on behalf of Buyer, (iv) the inaccuracy,
misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, or
(v) the failure of Buyer to assume, pay, perform and discharge any Assumed Liabilities.
(c) Procedures. The Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party (the
“Indemnifying Party”) written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”), within
fifteen (15) days of the incurrence or discovery thereof, of any Damages or discovery of fact upon
which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 11.02(a)
or Section 11.02(b), provided, however, that any failure to give such notice shall not waive any
rights of an Indemnified Party except to the extent that the rights of the Indemnifying Party are
actually prejudiced or to the extent that any applicable period contemplated by Section 11.01 has
expired without notice being given. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description
of the claim (including Third Party Claims) and the nature and amount of such Damages (to the
extent that the nature and amount of such Damages are known at such time). The Indemnified Party
shall furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents
received in respect of any Damages.
(d) Third Party Claims. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Section
11.02 with respect to Damages arising from claims of any third party that are subject to
indemnification as provided for in Section 11.02(a) or Section 11.02(b) (a “Third Party
Claim”) shall be governed by and be contingent upon the following additional terms and
conditions:
(i) At its option, the Indemnifying
Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by
giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty
64
(30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The
assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall be construed as an
acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party in respect
of the Third Party Claim. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party
may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by
the Indemnifying Party, subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the
defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the Indemnifying
Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnified Party
in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a
Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any
legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis,
defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim, except in the circumstances described in clauses
(A) through (D) of the proviso in Section 11.02(d)(ii).
(ii) Without limiting
Section 11.02(d)(i), any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its
choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified
Party’s own expense unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
Indemnifying Party in writing, (B) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and
employ counsel in accordance with Section 11.02(d)(i) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall
control the defense), (C) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the
Indemnifying Party or (D) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party
per its counsel’s advice believes that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them.
(iii) With respect to all Damages
in connection with Third Party Claims, where the
Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section
11.02(d)(i), the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment,
enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Damages; provided that it obtains the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall, with respect to any settlement for
monetary Damages only, not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). With respect to all
Damages in connection with Third Party Claims where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense
of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 11.02(d)(i), the Indemnifying Party shall not
be liable for any settlement or other disposition of such Damages by an Indemnified Party that is
reached without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party chooses
not to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability
with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior
written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed).
65
(iv) If the Indemnifying Party
chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and promptly shall furnish
such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences,
discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection
therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the
Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and
information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making relevant employees
and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and
explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the
Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
(e) Expenses. Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and
expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in
connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a quarterly basis by the Indemnifying Party,
without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to
indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not
to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.
Section 11.03 Limitations.
(a) In no event shall Sellers be liable for any Damages pursuant to Section 11.02(a)(i),
Section 11.02(a)(iv) or Section 11.02(a)(v) (other than inaccuracies or breaches of the
Fundamental Representations) unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Damages exceeds
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), in which case Sellers shall be liable only for such
Damages in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). There shall be no threshold amount
for Sellers’ liability with respect to Damages relating to inaccuracies or breaches of the
Fundamental Representations. In no event shall the aggregate liability of Sellers for Damages
(other than inaccuracies or breaches of the Fundamental Representations) pursuant to Section
11.02(a)(i), Section 11.02(a)(iv) or Section 11.02(a)(v) exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Purchase Price. There shall be no maximum amount for Sellers’ liability with respect to Damages
relating to inaccuracies or breaches of the Fundamental Representations.
(b) In no event shall Buyer be liable for any Damages pursuant to Section 11.02(b)(i) or
Section 11.02(b)(iv) unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Damages exceeds Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), in which case Buyer shall be liable only for such Damages in
excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). In no event shall the aggregate liability of
Sellers for Buyer pursuant to Section 11.02(b)(i) or Section 11.02(b)(iv) exceed twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Purchase Price.
(c) The amount of any Damages under Section 11.02(a) or Section 11.02(b) shall be
reduced by
the amount of any insurance proceeds paid to and actually received by the Indemnified Party
relating to such claim. To the extent the Indemnified Party actually receives any Tax benefits as
a result of the Liability that gave rise to any indemnity under Section 11.02(a) or Section
11.02(b), the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the
66
Indemnifying Party for an amount equal to such Tax benefit but only when, and to the extent,
the Indemnified Party actually receives such Tax benefit.
(d) THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL NOT EXTEND TO SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST
PROFITS, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THIS EXCLUSION IS NOT INTENDED TO, NOR SHALL,
EXCLUDE ACTUAL OR COMPENSATORY DAMAGES OF THE AFFECTED PARTY, INCLUDING SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OWED TO THIRD PARTIES AS A RESULT OF A THIRD PARTY
CLAIM.
Section 11.04 Remedies.
Prior to the Closing, in addition to any other rights set forth hereunder, the Parties shall
have the rights to indemnification set forth in this Article XI. On and after the Closing, the
remedies set forth in this Article XI shall be exclusive and in lieu of any other remedies that may
be available to the Indemnified Parties under any theory of liability and pursuant to any Law with
respect to any Damages of any kind or nature directly or indirectly resulting from or arising out
of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or for any other alleged
misrepresentation in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Except with respect to
the Environmental Representation, Sellers’ representations and warranties and Sellers’ obligation
to indemnify Buyer will not be affected by any investigation by Buyer or by Buyer’s knowledge that
any such representation or warranty may be untrue. Any waiver of Buyer’s rights hereunder must be
express and in writing. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any Party’s right to seek specific
performance, injunctive relief , or other equitable remedies.
Section 11.05 Fraud Exception.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit any remedies that may be available to a
Party in connection with any fraud committed against such Party by another Party hereto.

exercising such Party’s rights under this Agreement and (ii) Sellers and their Affiliates shall
subject to Section 8.22, be permitted to use their archival copy of all Assigned Contracts, Books

may disclose such Confidential Information to its Affiliates and its and their advisors and
representatives, and Buyer may disclose such Confidential Information to its direct and indirect,
and actual or potential, investors, lenders or credit providers and such Person’s representatives
and advisors, in each of the foregoing cases, on a need-to-know basis provided such Person agrees

other Party, the receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information without liability

not include information that (i) is or hereafter becomes part of the public domain by public use,
publication, general knowledge or the like through no fault or breach of a Party or any Person to
whom such Party provided such information, (ii) the receiving Party can demonstrate to have had
lawfully in its possession without any obligation of confidentiality prior to disclosure hereunder,
(iii) is independently developed by the receiving Party without the use of any Confidential
Information of the disclosing Party as evidenced by written documentation or (iv) the receiving
Party lawfully obtains from a Person who has the right to transfer or disclose it and who provides
it without any obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information. Notwithstanding
anything else contained herein, Buyer may, after the Closing, use any and all Confidential
Information in the Buyer’s operation of its business or disclose any and all Confidential
Information or information about the Purchased Assets, the Business or the transactions
contemplated hereby without limitation except that (x) Buyer’s disclosure of the terms (but not the

respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions, understandings, and
agreements between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Section 13.04 Waiver.
Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is
entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a
written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. No
waiver by either Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances,
shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this
Agreement on any future occasion.

71
The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each Party
hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns and it is not the intention of the
Parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.
Section 13.07 Assignment; Binding Effect.
Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by
either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, and any attempt to do so without such consent will be void;
provided, however, that Buyer may without the consent of Sellers assign its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to any person acquiring all or substantially all of the Business
as then conducted by Buyer or to an Affiliate of Buyer, further provided, however, that no
such assignment shall, without the prior written consent of Sellers, (i) relieve Buyer of any of
its liabilities or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) assign any rights or obligations of
Buyer under the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement. The
Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that a merger or consolidation of a Party with or into another
Person shall not be deemed an assignment for the purposes of this Section 13.07. This Agreement is
binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the Parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.
Section 13.08 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any
present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will
not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b)
this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision or by its severance herefrom, and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and
enforceable provision as similar to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be
possible and reasonably acceptable to the Parties.
Section 13.09 Governing Law.
