5.3 Public Announcements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except as may be required by applicable Law or as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable stock exchange or any Governmental Entity, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), neither Party shall (a) disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement (other than disclosures to Representatives on a need-to-know basis and who are bound by confidentiality terms substantially no less stringent than the terms of this Agreement) or (b) issue any press release, publication, or other public announcement relating to this Agreement, the performance of this Agreement, or that otherwise identifies the other Party as a party to this Agreement, in each case, without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent practicable, the disclosing Party shall give at least two (2) Business Days’ advance notice of any legally required disclosure to the non-disclosing Party, and the non-disclosing Party may provide any comments on the proposed legally required disclosure during the foregoing time period; provided that such disclosing Party shall be under no obligation to accept any such comments provided by the non-disclosing Party but shall consider all such comments in good faith. The Parties acknowledge that Seller may be obligated to file a copy of this Agreement with the SEC. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall provide Buyer with a reasonable opportunity to review the proposed filing and, if requested by Xxxxx, Seller shall request, and use reasonable efforts to obtain, confidential treatment of this Agreement pursuant to applicable rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Freedom of Information Act and the rules promulgated thereunder to permit the filing of a redacted exhibit; provided that Buyer acknowledges that there is no assurance that such redactions will be permitted by the SEC and the SEC may require filing of the Agreement in full.
5.4 Use of Name. Except as expressly provided herein, neither Party shall mention or otherwise use the name, logo, or trademark of the other Party or any of its Affiliates (or any abbreviation or adaptation thereof) in any publication, press release, marketing, and promotional material, or other form of publicity or filing that is publicly available without the prior written approval of such other Party in each instance. The restrictions imposed by this Section 5.4 shall not prohibit either Party from making any disclosure identifying the other Party that, in the opinion of the disclosing Party’s counsel, is required by applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing Party are listed; provided that such disclosing Party shall submit the proposed disclosure identifying the other Party in writing to the other Party as far in advance as reasonably practicable (and in no event less than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated date of disclosure) so as to provide a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.
5.5 Compliance with Legal Requirements. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and each of their respective successors in interest and assigns to the Rare Pediatric Disease product for which the Priority Review Voucher was awarded to, comply in all material respects at all times with all Legal Requirements applicable to such Persons (as the sponsor of such Rare Pediatric Disease product and the initial recipient and owner of the Priority Review Voucher, as applicable), in any case relating to the Purchased Assets, and comply with any and all Legal Requirements applicable to such Persons that would impact the validity, maintenance, use, or transfer of the
12
Priority Review Voucher, or that would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation of the Priority Review Voucher if such Legal Requirements were not complied with. Seller shall promptly forward to Buyer any communications or notices it or its Affiliates receive from any Governmental Entity to the extent relating directly or indirectly to or otherwise materially impacting the Purchased Assets; provided, that Seller may redact any portion of such written communications or other notices that is not relevant to the Priority Review Voucher.
5.6 [*].
5.7 Confidentiality.
(a) With respect to Confidential Information received by any Party, such Party shall (i) keep such Confidential Information confidential, (ii) not use such Confidential Information for any reason other than to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement, and (iii) not disclose such Confidential Information to any Person, except in each case, as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or with the prior written consent of the disclosing Party.
(b) A Party may disclose Confidential Information only to its Representatives on a need-to-know basis and shall (i) enforce the terms of this Section 5.7 as to its Representatives [*], (ii) take such action to the extent necessary to cause its Representatives [*] to comply with the terms and conditions of this Section 5.7 and (iii) be responsible and liable for any breach of this Section 5.7 by it or its Representatives [*].
(c) If a Party becomes compelled by a court or is requested by a Governmental Entity to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Section 5.7, such Party shall provide the disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such compulsion or request so that it may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.7. In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, the Party subject to the requirement to disclose may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that, based upon advice of its counsel, it is legally compelled to disclose or that has been requested by such Governmental Entity; provided, however, that such Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded by any Person to whom any Confidential Information is so disclosed. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.7(c) does not apply to those disclosures concerning this Agreement to which Section 5.3 applies.
(d) Nothing herein shall prohibit or otherwise restrict the disclosure of any Confidential Information by or on behalf of Buyer or its Affiliates to the FDA or other Governmental Entity to the extent required by the FDA or such other Governmental Entity to enable the use or transfer of the Priority Review Voucher; provided, that Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for any such disclosures.
5.8 Disclosure Concerning Use of the Priority Review Voucher. In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates uses (or notifies the FDA of its intent to use) the Priority Review Voucher in connection with a human drug application, Buyer or such Affiliate may, in any press release,
13
public announcement or other disclosure relating to its filing (or proposed filing) of the relevant human drug application, disclose that the Priority Review Voucher acquired from Seller has been used (or is intended to be used) in connection with such human drug application.
ARTICLE 6
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY TC "ARTICLE 6 INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY" \f C \l "1"
6.1 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, members, agents, Representatives, successors, and assigns (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) for, from and against any and all Losses, whether or not arising from, relating to, or otherwise in connection with a claim of a Third Party (each, a “Third Party Claim”), which any Buyer Indemnified Party may suffer, incur, sustain, or become subject to, to the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in connection with (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representations and warranties of Seller made under this Agreement or any certificate or document delivered hereunder; (ii) any breach of or failure to perform any covenants or obligations of Seller made under this Agreement or any certificate or document delivered hereunder; (iii) Seller’s grossly negligent acts, omissions or misrepresentations or wilful misconduct, in each case, in connection with this Agreement; and (iv) any and all Excluded Liabilities.
(b) Indemnification by Xxxxx. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Representatives, successors, and assigns (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses, whether or not arising from, relating to or otherwise in connection with a Third Party Claim, which any Seller Indemnified Party may suffer, incur, sustain, or become subject to, to the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in connection with (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representations and warranties of Buyer made under this Agreement or any certificate or document delivered hereunder; (ii) any breach of or failure to perform any covenants or obligations of Buyer made under this Agreement or any certificate or document delivered hereunder; and (iii) Buyer’s grossly negligent acts, omissions or misrepresentations or willful misconduct, in each case, in connection with this Agreement.
6.2 Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims.
(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by written notice to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall include the facts constituting the basis for such claim for indemnification, the Sections of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is then based and an estimate, if possible, of the amount of Losses suffered or reasonably expected to be suffered by the Indemnified Party; provided that the failure to give such notification or any deficiency in such notification will not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this ARTICLE 6, except (i) to the extent such failure to give such notification or such deficiency in such notification actually and materially prejudices
14
such Indemnifying Party or (ii) as provided in Section 6.3. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party affirmatively accepts liability in the specified amount for the indemnity claimed by the Indemnified Party under Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b), as applicable, such indemnity claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be deemed not accepted by the Indemnifying Party, in which case, the Indemnified Party may pursue its right to indemnification with respect to such indemnity claim under this ARTICLE 6 in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) In the event of any instituted or asserted Third Party Claim against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by the provisions of Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b), as applicable, to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party. The failure to give such notification or any deficiency in such notification will not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this ARTICLE 6, except (i) to the extent such failure to give such notification or such deficiency in such notification actually and materially prejudices such Indemnifying Party or (ii) as provided in Section 6.3. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified by it hereunder, subject to the provisions below; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of defense to (or, following such assumption of control in accordance herewith, may not continue to control such defense of, as applicable) a Third Party Claim (i) unless it covenants to the Indemnified Party in writing within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any and all Losses that the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from or arising out of the Third Party Claim (subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 6.6), (ii) in which equitable relief other than monetary damages is sought, (iii) if such Third Party Claim is brought by a Governmental Entity or is otherwise related to or arises in connection with any FDA, Tax or criminal or regulatory enforcement matter, (iv) if the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by outside counsel that a legal conflict or potential legal conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim, (v) if settlement of, an adverse Judgment with respect to, or conduct of the defense of the Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party is, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to be materially adverse to the Indemnified Party’s or its Affiliates’ reputation or continuing business interests (including its relationships with current or potential customers, licensors, distributors, suppliers, or other parties material to the conduct of its business), or (vi) the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently and vigorously and in good faith conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim that relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, or is not permitted to assume the defense (or, following such assumption of the defense in accordance herewith, is not permitted to continue to control such defense, as applicable) of a Third Party Claim pursuant to the proviso to the third sentence of Section 6.2(b), the Indemnified
15
Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim, subject to the provisions below. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (ii) in the written opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnified Party a legal conflict or potential legal conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any Judgment unless (A) the claimant provides to the Indemnified Party a full, general and unqualified release of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates and Representatives from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (B) such settlement does not involve any injunctive relief binding upon the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, (C) such settlement does not create an Encumbrance upon any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or impose any restriction or condition that would apply to or materially affect any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party’s business, and (D) such settlement does not involve any admission of liability or wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives.
6.3 Survival. The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer under this Agreement, and liability for the breach thereof, shall survive the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of two (2) years following the Effective Date; provided, however, that all covenants (including Section 5.6), the Fundamental Representations and any claims for fraud shall survive the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect until the later of (a) six (6) years following the Effective Date and (b) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. No claim for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement may be brought after expiration of the survival periods set forth in this Section 6.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if written notice of a claim has been given in the manner required by Section 6.2 prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period by the Party seeking indemnification for such claim, then the relevant covenants, representations and warranties of the other Party shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved pursuant to this ARTICLE 6.
6.4 Additional Indemnification Matters. The right of indemnification provided under this ARTICLE 6 shall not be affected by any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Effective Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance or noncompliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained herein.
6.5 Adjustments. Any amount paid under this ARTICLE 6 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
6.6 Limitations of Liability.
16
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to Section 6.6(b)), (i) each Party’s maximum aggregate liability to the other Party arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement (including pursuant to this ARTICLE 6) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price and (ii) except to the extent actually awarded against a Buyer or Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to a Judgment with respect to a Third Party Claim and except for a Party’s fraud, then, in each case of this clause (ii), no Party shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including business interruption, diminution of value, loss of future revenue, profits or income, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement [*], regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise.
(b) Nothing in Section 6.6(a) or Section 6.7, shall operate to limit or exclude in any way Seller’s liability for any and all Excluded Liabilities.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of Law that would render any provision hereof illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect.
7.7 Governing Law. This Agreement or the performance, enforcement, breach or termination hereof shall be interpreted, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

7.10 Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies.
(a) 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. The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any Party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.
(b) The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such harm. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and hereby covenant and agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the covenants, agreements, or obligations set forth in this Agreement, then in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity, the non-breaching Party will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain any breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to enforce compliance with the covenants, agreements, and
20
obligations under this Agreement. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees not to raise, and irrevocably waives, any objections to the availability of such relief that a remedy at law would be adequate and that a bond or other security will be required.
7.11 No Benefit to Third Parties. Except as provided in ARTICLE 6, the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and they shall not be construed as conferring any rights on any other Persons.
