(a) No earlier than five and no later than three Business Days prior to the date on which the Closing is scheduled to occur, P&G shall prepare and furnish to Purchaser a good faith estimate of the Closing Statement and a certificate of an officer of P&G prepared in reasonable detail and with reasonable specificity setting forth P&G’s good faith estimates of (i) Closing Adjusted Working Capital calculated based on such estimated Closing Statement and in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 2.06(a) (the “Estimated Closing Adjusted Working Capital”) and (ii) the sum of the total amount of estimated Sanofi Pre-Closing Period Payments and estimated P&G Share of Sanofi Straddle Period Payments (the “Estimated Sanofi Payments Adjustment Amount”). Such certificate shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. P&G shall make available to Purchaser such information as is reasonably necessary to allow Purchaser to review and evaluate such estimates.
(b) The Purchase Price payable at Closing pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(i) if and to the extent that Estimated Closing Adjusted Working Capital is greater than Target Closing Adjusted Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount of such excess;
(ii) if and to the extent that Estimated Closing Adjusted Working Capital is less than Target Closing Adjusted Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall; and
(iii) the Purchase Price shall be decreased by amount equal to the Estimated Sanofi Payments Adjustment Amount.
(c) In addition, if Closing occurs after October 31, 2009, the Purchase Price payable at Closing pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be decreased by an amount equal to $1,550,000 multiplied by the number of days from but excluding October 31, 2009 through and including the Closing Date (such amount, the “Estimated Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow”).
SECTION 2.06. Closing Statement; Determination of Final Closing Adjusted Working Capital and Final Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow. (a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than 45 days, after the Closing Date, P&G will cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) each line item included in the calculation of Closing Adjusted Working Capital as set forth in the Adjusted Working Capital Schedule and P&G’s calculation of Closing Adjusted Working Capital and (ii) to the extent
18
Closing occurs after October 31, 2009, each line item included in the calculation of Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow as set forth in the Net Cash Flow Schedule, and a certificate based on such Closing Statement setting forth P&G’s calculations of Closing Adjusted Working Capital and, if applicable, Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow. P&G and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (A) Closing Adjusted Working Capital shall be determined in the same manner as and using the same basis and account classifications and in accordance with accounting policies and practices consistent with those used in the illustrative calculation set forth in the Adjusted Working Capital Schedule but in all cases in accordance with GAAP; and (B) Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow shall be determined in accordance with accounting policies and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the Net Cash Flow Schedule. Following the delivery of the Closing Statement, P&G shall permit Purchaser and its representatives to review copies of workpapers of P&G, and other documents reasonably requested by Purchaser, relating to the Closing Statement and the adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.07.
(b) If Purchaser disagrees with P&G’s calculations of Closing Adjusted Working Capital or (if applicable) Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(a), Purchaser may, within 20 days after delivery of the Closing Statement, deliver a notice to P&G disagreeing with such calculations, which shall specify Purchaser’s calculations of Closing Adjusted Working Capital (and if applicable) Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow in reasonable detail and with reasonable specificity, and Purchaser’s grounds for such disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”).
(c) If a Notice of Disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(b), P&G and Purchaser shall, during the 30 days following such delivery, use their reasonable best efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of Closing Adjusted Working Capital (which amount shall not be more than the amount thereof shown in P&G’s calculations delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(a) nor less than the amount thereof shown in Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(b)) or Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow (which amount shall not be less than the amount thereof shown in P&G’s calculations delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(a) nor more than the amount thereof shown in Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(b)). If P&G and Purchaser are able to resolve all or a portion of such disputed items within such 30-day period, they shall reduce such resolution to writing and the matters so agreed upon shall be final and binding on P&G and Purchaser. If P&G and Purchaser are unable to resolve all such disputed items during such period, they shall promptly thereafter submit the matters remaining in dispute to a nationally recognized public accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and P&G (the “Accounting Referee”)), for the purpose of calculating Closing Adjusted Working Capital or Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow, as applicable. In making such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Statement or P&G’s calculation of Closing Adjusted Working Capital or Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow, as applicable, as to which there were unresolved disputes. The parties shall instruct the Accounting Referee to promptly to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts and to render its reasoned written decision as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 30 days after its selection. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to P&G and Purchaser, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon P&G and Purchaser and shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover.
19
The cost of such review and report shall be borne equally by P&G and Purchaser. After the final determination of Closing Adjusted Working Capital, and Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow, Purchaser shall have no further right to make any claims against P&G in respect of any element of Closing Adjusted Working Capital or Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow (i) to the extent it was included in Final Closing Adjusted Working Capital as a specific liability or reserve, (ii) to the extent it would result in a duplicative payment to Purchaser of amounts recovered as a purchase price adjustment pursuant to Section 2.07 or (iii) to the extent that Purchaser raised an objection to such item in the Notice of Objection.
(d) P&G and Purchaser agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective independent accountants to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculations of Closing Adjusted Working Capital and Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow, including making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.
SECTION 2.07. Post-Closing Adjustments to Purchase Price. (a) If:
(i) Final Closing Adjusted Working Capital is greater than Estimated Closing Adjusted Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay to P&G the amount of such excess; and
(ii) Final Closing Adjusted Working Capital is less than Estimated Closing Adjusted Working Capital, P&G shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such shortfall.
(b) In addition, if Closing occurs after October 31, 2009 and:
(i) Final Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow exceeds Estimated Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow, P&G shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such excess; or
(ii) Final Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow is less than Estimated Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow, Purchaser shall pay to P&G the amount of such shortfall.
(c) Any payment pursuant to Section 2.07(a) or (b) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price and shall be made within five days after Final Closing Adjusted Working Capital and (if applicable) Final Adjustment Period Net Cash Flow has been determined by wire transfer of immediately available funds by P&G or Purchaser, as the case may be, to the other party. The amount of any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the date of payment. Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed.
SECTION 2.08. Sanofi Payments Post-Closing Adjustment. (a) If:
(i) the actual amount of any Sanofi Pre-Closing Period Payment or any P&G Share of Sanofi Straddle Period Payment is greater than the estimated amount used in the calculation of the Estimated Sanofi Payments Adjustment Amount, P&G shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such excess; and
20
(ii) the actual amount of any Sanofi Pre-Closing Period Payment or any P&G Share of Sanofi Straddle Period Payment is less than the estimated amount used in the calculation of the Estimated Sanofi Payments Adjustment Amount, Purchaser shall pay to P&G the amount of such shortfall.
(b) Any payment pursuant to Section 2.08(a) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds by P&G or Purchaser, as the case may be, to the other party on the same day that Purchaser makes the applicable Sanofi Collaboration Agreement Payment to Sanofi (provided, that Purchaser has provided at least two Business Days notice to P&G).
(c) For purposes of this Section 2.08 and the definitions of “P&G Share of Sanofi Straddle Period Payment,” “Sanofi Collaboration Agreement Payment,” “Sanofi Pre-Closing Period Payment,” “Sanofi Straddle Period Payment,” references to the Sanofi Collaboration Agreement shall be without regard to any amendments or modifications or supplements thereto after the date hereof.

The obligations of P&G and Purchaser to bear any fees payable to third parties required in order to obtain any consents or waivers of third parties, shall be subject to the provisions of Schedule 5.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, (i) except as set forth on Schedule 5.06, the “reasonable best efforts” of a party shall not require it to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any such Authorization, consent or waiver may be required other than nominal filing or application fees and (ii) in connection with obtaining any Authorization from a third party related to a Pharmaceuticals Business Contract, no material amendment, waiver, consent or other changes will be made to any such Pharmaceuticals Business Contract without the prior written consent of Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld).
(b) Subject to Section 5.16, if and to the extent the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment (or novation, if applicable) to Purchaser of any Pharmaceuticals Business Asset as of the Closing Date would be a violation of applicable Law, would require any Authorization or any third party approval, consent or waiver then, the applicable transfer or
49
assignment shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer or assignment shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed and/or such Authorization and/or third party approval, consents or waivers have been obtained. If any Pharmaceutical Business Asset is not transferred or assigned to Purchaser at Closing as a result of this Section 5.06(b) or for any other reason, then for two years, P&G shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts (with any out of pocket expenses incurred by P&G being subject to the provisions of Schedule 5.06) to retain such Pharmaceuticals Business Asset for the use and benefit, insofar as reasonably possible, of Purchaser or a Purchasing Affiliate and implement an arrangement with the intent that Purchaser or such Purchasing Affiliate shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of such third party or violating any applicable Law) the economic claims, rights and benefits under any such Pharmaceuticals Business Asset and (ii) take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to place Purchaser, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Pharmaceuticals Business Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Pharmaceuticals Business Asset, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Pharmaceuticals Business Assets, are to inure from and after the Closing to Purchaser; provided, that to the extent that the Transition Services Agreement provides for a means for Purchaser and its Affiliates to have access to such Pharmaceuticals Business Asset, the provisions of the Transitional Services Agreement shall apply in lieu of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii). Without limiting the foregoing, at the reasonable request and expense of Purchaser, P&G shall cooperate with Purchaser to enforce any rights or remedies P&G or its Affiliates may have with respect to any Pharmaceuticals Business Asset the transfer of which is delayed or not completed on the Closing Date. For no additional consideration and at such time as P&G and Purchaser agree after obtaining the applicable Authorization, consent or waiver, if obtained prior to the expiration of the two-year period specified above, P&G shall cause any such Pharmaceuticals Business Asset to be sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred and delivered to Purchaser and Purchaser shall purchase, acquire, accept and assume such Pharmaceuticals Business Asset.
SECTION 5.07. Intercompany Agreements and Accounts, Cash Extraction Transactions. (a)
(i) From time to time prior to the Closing Date, all intercompany accounts receivable and accounts payable between a Transferred Subsidiary, on the one hand, and a P&G Affiliate (other than a Transferred Subsidiary), on the other hand, shall be netted.
(ii) Any net positive A/R balance or cash in the Transferred Subsidiaries, after the netting in clause (i), shall be distributed, transferred or otherwise used in the manner set forth in Schedule 5.07, to the extent and in the manner provided therein, and P&G shall be permitted to take the actions outlined in Schedule 5.07. P&G (x) prior to implementing the capital reductions described in Schedule 5.07, shall involve Purchaser in all decisions regarding the actual implementation thereof and shall provide to Purchaser for its review and comment (which comments P&G shall consider in good faith) all documents proposed to be used to implement such capital reductions, and (y) will keep Purchaser reasonably informed of all other actions it undertakes pursuant to Schedule 5.07, including, where reasonably practicable, providing Purchaser with advance notice of such actions and documentation relating to any distributions, transfers or other uses. Any net positive A/R balance not distributed, transferred or otherwise used in the manner set forth in Schedule 5.07 prior to Closing shall be settled in cash on or before the Closing.
50
(iii) As soon as practicable but in no event less than 14 days prior to any proposed distribution, transfer or other use by P&G prior to the Closing of cash not described in Schedule 5.07, P&G shall provide to Purchaser a written statement describing such intended distribution, transfer or other use, and setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of the amount of cash to be so distributed, transferred or otherwise used. Purchaser shall review such intended distribution, transfer or other use, and the amounts thereof, to determine whether it will result in any adverse consequences (other than immaterial consequences) to Purchaser or its Affiliates. P&G shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable, such information as Purchaser may reasonably request for purposes of such review. In the event that Purchaser reasonably believes that such distribution, transfer or other use would result in any adverse consequences (other than immaterial consequences) to Purchaser or its Affiliates, Purchaser shall so notify P&G in writing within 7 days after the receipt of such written statement, and the parties shall thereafter negotiate in good faith for 5 days to resolve any disagreement as to whether such distribution, transfer or other use would result in such adverse consequences (other than immaterial consequences) to Purchaser or its Affiliates. If Purchaser and P&G fail to resolve such dispute within 5 days, the Tax Accounting Referee (as defined in Section 5.14(m)) shall resolve such dispute. Prior to the expiration of such 14-day period, P&G shall not effect such distribution, transfer or other use, and, in the event that Purchaser timely provides a notice of disagreement as provided in the previous sentence, P&G shall not effect such distribution, transfer or other use prior to the resolution of such dispute.
(b) (i) Within 45 days after the Closing Date, P&G shall deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Cash Balance Statement”) setting forth the amount of cash held by each Transferred Subsidiary as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall have the right to review the Cash Balance Statement, and P&G shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, provide such information as Purchaser may reasonably request for purposes of such review. If within 15 days after receipt of the Cash Balance Statement Purchaser notifies P&G that it disagrees with the one or more of the amounts reflected on the Cash Balance Statement, Purchaser and P&G will negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Purchaser and P&G fail to resolve such dispute within 30 days, the Tax Accounting Referee (as defined in Section 5.14(m)) shall resolve such dispute. If Purchaser does not respond within 30 days, or upon resolution of the disputed items, each Transferred Subsidiary shall be deemed as of the Closing Date to hold an amount of cash (the “Trapped Cash”) equal to the amount so reflected on the Cash Balance Statement (such as may have been adjusted pursuant to the resolution of a dispute with respect thereto).
(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but only to the extent it is not transferred to P&G or an Affiliate thereof pursuant to this Section 5.07, all Trapped Cash shall be deemed to be Pharmaceuticals Business Assets (but for the avoidance of doubt, Trapped Cash shall not be taken into account in the determination of Closing Adjusted Working Capital, Estimated Closing Adjusted Working Capital or Final Closing Adjusted Working Capital).
51
(iii) As soon as reasonably practicable after Closing Date, Purchaser shall take the actions set forth under clause (c) of Schedule 5.07. In addition to taking those actions, Purchaser shall consider in good faith any other actions (the “Post-Closing Non-Scheduled Actions”) proposed, within one year of the Closing Date, by P&G to cause the Trapped Cash to be distributed to Purchaser (or an Affiliate thereof) and remitted to P&G. To the extent it reasonably determines that a Post-Closing Non-Scheduled Action will not result in any adverse consequences (other than immaterial consequences) to Purchaser or its Affiliates, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to implement such actions; provided that (i) Purchaser shall not be obligated to engage in any transaction pursuant to this Section 5.07(b) where the amount to be paid to P&G, after taking any reduction in such amount pursuant to Section 5.07(c), would not exceed $500,000 and (ii) Purchaser shall not be obligated to implement any Post-Closing Non-Scheduled Action that cannot, with reasonable best efforts of Purchaser, be initiated within one year of Closing.
(iv) If, after any distribution, transfer or use of cash pursuant to this Section 5.07, Purchaser or any Affiliate is subsequently required under applicable Law to recontribute or retransfer all or any portion of such amount to the Transferred Subsidiary that made such distribution, transfer or other use because such distribution, transfer or other use was, in whole or in part, in violation of applicable Law, Purchaser shall notify P&G of such requirement and provide a detailed calculation of the amounts required to be recontributed. Purchaser and P&G shall cooperate in good faith to effect a solution that would not result in any adverse consequences (other than immaterial consequences) to Purchaser or its Affiliates, and that would not require such recontribution. If Purchaser and P&G agree that no such solution can be found, P&G shall promptly repay to Purchaser (or, at the option of Purchaser, its Affiliate) an amount equal to the amount that Purchaser or such Affiliate is required to so recontribute or retransfer. If Purchaser and P&G disagree as to whether any such solution can be effected, and fail to resolve such dispute within 30 days, the Tax Accounting Referee (as defined in Section 5.14(m)) shall resolve such dispute.
(c) P&G shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including withholding Taxes and any Taxes resulting from any distribution or transfer made by a Transferred Subsidiary) incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred Subsidiaries after the Closing) in connection with any obligation of or transaction undertaken by Purchaser or such Affiliates pursuant to this Section 5.07. Purchaser (i) shall use reasonable best efforts to minimize such costs and expenses (except that Purchaser shall not be required to take any action that would result in adverse consequences (other than immaterial consequences) to Purchaser or its Affiliates) and (ii) if Purchaser expects to incur any such costs or expenses in connection with a cash distribution, transfer or other use that are expected to exceed the greater of $50,000 or 5% of the amount of such cash distribution, transfer or other use, shall advise and consult with P&G regarding such proposed cost or expense in advance of incurring any such cost or expense. Purchaser shall provide a detailed calculation of any amounts (the “Section 5.07(c) Reduction Amounts”) by which Purchaser proposes to reduce any amounts otherwise payable to P&G pursuant to this Section 5.07. Purchaser shall provide P&G with such information as P&G may reasonably request with respect to Purchaser’s determination of any Section 5.07(c) Reduction Amount. If, within 10 days of Purchaser’s
52
proposal of a Section 5.07(c) Reduction Amount, P&G notifies Purchaser of its objection to the reasonableness of a Section 5.07(c) Reduction Amount, Purchaser and P&G shall cooperate in good faith to determine an appropriate adjustment, if any, thereto. If Purchaser and P&G do not agree on such an adjustment within 30 days, the Tax Accounting Referee (as defined in Section 5.14(m)) shall resolve such dispute. Purchaser shall be permitted to withhold from the related payment to P&G an amount equal to Purchaser’s initially proposed Section 5.07(c) Reduction Amount until any dispute is resolved pursuant to this Section 5.07(c).
(d) Prior to the Closing Date, P&G shall take, or cause to be taken, all necessary actions to cause all intercompany agreements between P&G or its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and the Transferred Subsidiaries, on the other hand, to be terminated as of the Closing.
SECTION 5.08. Publicity. Neither P&G, on the one hand, nor Purchaser, on the other hand, shall issue or permit any of their respective Affiliates to issue any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the other party, except as may be required by applicable Law or stock exchange rules or regulations (in which case, to the extent possible, the party required to make the release or statement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or statement in advance of such issuance); provided, however, that each of the parties may make internal announcements to their respective employees that are consistent with the parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
SECTION 5.09. Transferred Subsidiaries; Pharmaceuticals Business Assets; Excluded Assets; Transition Period Assets; Retained Employees. (a) Prior to the Closing, P&G shall use its reasonable best efforts to work with Purchaser to identify all Pharmaceuticals Business Assets held by P&G or any of its Affiliates. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, and in any event not more than 45 days after the date hereof, P&G shall provide Purchaser with (i) a final version of Schedule 1.01(g) to reflect any additions to or removals from the list of Transferred Subsidiaries as a result of such identification, which final Schedule shall be deemed to be the definitive Schedule 1.01(g) for all purposes of this Agreement; (ii) schedules identifying or describing any Pharmaceuticals Business Assets that are held as of such date by P&G or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries) and that will be transferred to a Transferred Subsidiary prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Closing Transferred Assets”); (iii) schedules identifying or describing any Direct Assignment Assets; and (iv) schedules identifying or setting forth any Excluded Assets that are held as of such date by the Transferred Subsidiaries and that will be transferred to P&G or its Affiliates (other than a Transferred Subsidiary) prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Closing Distribution Assets”). The determination of the composition of Schedule 1.01(g), and the designation of any Pharmaceuticals Business Asset as a Pre-Closing Transferred Asset or a Direct Assignment Asset shall be made by P&G in good faith, after consultation with Purchaser (which shall include consideration in good faith of any proposals made by Purchaser with respect to such matters), and in a manner consistent with the principles set forth on Schedule 5.09(a), except for any deviations therefrom consented to by Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). The asset and liability transfers and related transactions contemplated by this Section 5.09(a) and Section 5.07(a) are referred to as the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”.
53
(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that in the course of preparing for the implementation of the services contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement P&G may identify certain Assets included within the Pharmaceuticals Business Assets (the “Transition Period Assets”), that are necessary or desirable for P&G to retain in order to provide the services contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement. At P&G’s request, Purchaser may elect to (i) exclude any Transition Period Asset from the Pharmaceuticals Business Assets at the Closing, and (ii) allow P&G to retain such Transition Period Asset during the term of the Transition Services Agreement, in which case as soon as practicable following the expiration of the applicable services contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement, P&G shall convey such Transition Period Asset to the Purchaser for no additional consideration.
(c) Prior to the Closing, P&G shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each employee of a Transferred Subsidiary that is not an Article 6 Employee, including any Retained Employees, to be reassigned to P&G or an Affiliate other than a Transferred Subsidiary.
(d) After the Closing, if P&G or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries) is the owner of, receives or otherwise comes to possess any Pharmaceuticals Business Asset (including the receipt of payments made pursuant to Contracts and proceeds of accounts receivable) or any other asset that properly belongs to Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, P&G promptly shall notify Purchaser at the address set forth in Section 10.04 and transfer or cause to be transferred, such Pharmaceuticals Business Asset to Purchaser (or to the Transferred Subsidiary or other Affiliate designated by Purchaser). After the Closing, if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) is the owner of, receives or otherwise comes to possess any Excluded Asset (including the receipt of payments made pursuant to Contracts and proceeds of accounts receivable) or any other asset that properly belongs to P&G or its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser promptly shall notify P&G at the address set forth in Section 10.04 and transfer or cause to be transferred, such Excluded Asset to P&G (or to the Affiliate of P&G designated by P&G). With respect to any assets subject to this Section 5.09(d) consisting of cash, in lieu of remitting payment, P&G or Purchaser, as applicable, may set off any amounts otherwise required to be remitted to the other party pursuant to this Section 5.09(d) against any amounts owed to such party or any of its Affiliates by the other party or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION 5.10. Use of P&G Names and Marks. (a) As soon as practicable following the Closing, and in any event within 180 days after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) change the name of any Transferred Subsidiary whose name includes the P&G Names and Marks to a name that does not include any of the P&G Names and Marks; and (ii) remove all P&G Names and Marks from any internet or other electronic communications vehicles, including internet domain names.
(b) In each applicable jurisdiction, as soon as practicable following the Closing, and in any event within one year after the Closing (or to the extent a longer period of time is required to obtain any required approvals of applicable health authorities in such jurisdiction for such changes, within one year after receipt of all such required approvals), (the “Transition Date”) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) remove all P&G Names and Marks from any
54
new packaging or prescription information of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates manufactured after the applicable Transition Date for use in such jurisdiction and (ii) revise all packaging and prescription information used in such jurisdiction to delete, strike over, sticker over or otherwise remove or cover all references to the P&G Names and Marks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in each jurisdiction, the Purchaser and its Affiliates may continue to sell existing inventories of products as of the Transition Date bearing the P&G Names and Marks until the expiration of the applicable shelf lives of such products; provided, that the Purchaser and its Affiliates use their commercially reasonable efforts to sell such existing inventories prior to the sale of subsequently manufactured or packaged products.
(c) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, remove all P&G Names and Marks from any new product literature, signage, stationary or other materials (other than any internet or other electronic communications vehicles, including internet domain names, which are subject to Section 5.10(a) and other than packaging or prescription materials, which are the subject of Section 5.10(a)) of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates purchased or created after the Closing Date; provided, that the Purchaser and its Affiliates may continue to use the existing inventories of such items as of the Closing Date until such inventories are exhausted.
(d) In no event shall Purchaser or any of its Affiliates use any P&G Names and Marks after the Closing in any manner or for any purpose different from the use of such P&G Names and Marks by the Pharmaceuticals Business during the 90-day period preceding the Closing. P&G reserves the right to practice reasonable quality control with regard to the P&G Names and Marks. “P&G Names and Marks” means the names and marks “Procter & Xxxxxx” and “P&G” (in any style or design) and any name or xxxx derived from, confusingly similar to or including any of the foregoing.
SECTION 5.11. P&G Guarantees. Purchaser acknowledges that in the course of conduct of the Pharmaceuticals Business, P&G and its Affiliates may have entered into various arrangements in which guarantees, bonds or similar arrangements were issued by P&G or its Affiliates to support or facilitate the Pharmaceuticals Business. The arrangements of this type entered into by P&G and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries), including those set forth in Section 5.11 of the P&G Disclosure Letter, are hereinafter referred to as the “Guarantees”. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Guarantees shall not continue after the Closing. Purchaser agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts (without any obligation, however, to (x) spend any money other than customary amounts in connection with arranging such substitute arrangements or (y) commence or threaten to commence any litigation) to obtain or provide replacement Guarantees which will be in effect at the Closing and obtain the release of P&G and its Affiliates from any Guarantees. In the event that Purchaser is unable to obtain the release of P&G or its Affiliates from any Guarantees, Purchaser shall indemnify P&G and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses incurred by any of them relating to the Guarantees.
SECTION 5.12. Bulk Sales Law. Each of P&G and Purchaser hereby waives compliance by P&G with the provisions of all applicable so called “bulk sales” or “bulk transfer” laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
55
SECTION 5.13. OTC Rights and Arrangements.
(a) Certain License Rights. Purchaser shall notify P&G promptly after the time it commences marketing the rights to develop or market a version of risedronate that can be distributed or sold without a prescription from a medical doctor and/or marketing a license to the Actonel trademark (“Section 5.13 Rights”) to any Person and provide to P&G the same information it provides to other Persons relating to such rights. Prior to entering into any agreement with any Person that grants any Section 5.13 Rights, Purchaser shall provide P&G notice of such event, including the terms of the potential grant, together with a copy of the definitive agreements proposed to be executed by such Person, and the right to elect to acquire such Section 5.13 Rights on substantially the same terms as set forth in such agreement, with such modifications as P&G reasonably requests so long as such modifications do not in any material way adversely affect the rights and benefits of Purchaser. P&G shall have 30 days to elect to acquire any Section 5.13 Rights, and if so elected, Purchaser and P&G shall negotiate in good faith the terms of such agreement. In the event Purchaser decides to develop and market OTC Actonel directly, it shall first provide P&G the opportunity for 90 days to negotiate in good faith with Purchaser to enter into an agreement to permit P&G to develop and market OTC Actonel.
(b) Calcium plus Vitamin D. Purchaser hereby grants to P&G and its Affiliates, effective upon the Closing, an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, transferable license, including the right to sublicense, to the Calcium Plus Vitamin D IP to develop, make, use, import, offer to sell and sell any product that can be distributed or sold without a prescription from a medical doctor.
SECTION 5.14. Tax Matters.
(a) Allocation of Purchase Price. Prior to the Closing Date, the parties shall agree upon an allocation of the Purchase Price among the Transferred Subsidiaries in a manner consistent with the principles set forth in Schedule 5.14(a), including adopting the intangible values set forth in such schedule unless otherwise mutually agreed. If the Purchase Price is adjusted after the parties agree to such an allocation (including pursuant to Section 9.09 hereof), then appropriate adjustments as determined by the parties in good faith shall be made to such allocation.
(b) Section 338 Elections.
(i) Each of P&G and Purchaser agree to make, or cause to be made, a timely, effective and irrevocable election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and under any comparable statutes in any other jurisdiction (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the Transferred Subsidiary that is listed on Schedule 1.01(g) as having a jurisdiction of organization in a state in the United States (the “U.S. Transferred Subsidiary”), and to file such election in accordance with applicable regulations. Purchaser shall deliver to P&G a statement (the “Allocation Statement”) allocating the ADSP (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.338-4) (the “Aggregate Deemed Sales Price”) of the assets of the U.S. Transferred Subsidiary in accordance with the Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 338(h)(10). P&G shall have the
56
right to review the Allocation Statement. If within 30 days after receipt of the Allocation Statement P&G notifies Purchaser in writing that the allocation of one or more items reflected in the Allocation Statement is not a reasonable allocation, Purchaser and P&G will negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Purchaser and P&G fail to resolve such dispute within 30 days, the Tax Accounting Referee (as defined in Section 5.14(m)) shall determine whether the allocation was reasonable and, if not reasonable, shall appropriately revise the Allocation Statement. If P&G does not respond within 30 days, or upon resolution of the disputed items, the allocation reflected on the Allocation Statement (as such may have been adjusted) shall be the “Price Allocation” and shall be binding on the parties hereto. P&G and Purchaser agree to act in accordance with the Price Allocation in the preparation, filing and audit of any Tax Return.
(ii) Purchaser shall make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code and under any comparable statute in any other jurisdiction with respect to each Transferred Subsidiary listed on Schedule 1.01(g), other than the U.S. Transferred Subsidiary, that is taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(c) Ordinary Course. Purchaser agrees that it shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of the Transferred Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of Purchaser to: (x) take any action or omit to take any action on or after the Closing Date other than in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to the distribution of any dividend or the effectuation of any redemption, that could give rise to any Tax liability, or reduce any Tax Asset, of P&G or any Affiliate of P&G or give rise to any loss of P&G or any Affiliate of P&G under this Agreement, or (y) (i) make or change any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any Tax position on any Tax Return; or (ii) other than in the ordinary course of business take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any transaction that would reasonably be expected to result in any increased Tax liability or reduction in any Tax Asset of P&G or any Affiliate of P&G (including for purposes of this clause (y), the Transferred Subsidiaries) in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period. In addition, prior to June 30, 2010, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to maintain the Pharmaceuticals Business activities in the canton of Geneva in compliance with all requirements expressly stated in the tax ruling dated November 8, 2000, from the République et Canton de Genève, previously provided to Purchaser, without regard to any other documents, submissions, applications, covenants or statements (whether or not expressly, impliedly or otherwise referenced, incorporated, or deemed a part thereof).
(d) Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, none of P&G, any Transferred Subsidiary or any Affiliate of P&G shall, to the extent it may affect or relate to any Transferred Subsidiary, for any Post-Closing Tax Period, make or change any Tax election, change any annual Tax accounting period, adopt or change any method of Tax accounting, file any amended Tax Return, enter into any closing agreement, settle any Tax claim or assessment, surrender any right to claim a Tax refund, offset or other reduction in Tax liability, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitations period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment or take or omit to take any other action, if any such action or omission would have the effect of materially increasing the Tax liability or materially reducing any Tax Asset of any Transferred Subsidiary, Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser. This Section 5.14(d) shall not restrict P&G and its Affiliates from designating any of the non-U.S. Transferred Subsidiaries as disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
57
(e) Pre-Closing Tax Period Tax Returns. P&G shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) the following Tax Returns in accordance with past practice for preparing and filing such Tax Returns and shall pay Taxes shown as due thereon: (A) all Tax Returns of the Transferred Subsidiaries due on or prior to the Closing Date and (B) all Income Tax Returns of the Transferred Subsidiaries due after the Closing Date in the case of a combined, consolidated or unitary Income Tax Return that includes P&G or an Affiliate (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries). P&G shall timely prepare (or cause to be timely prepared) any Income Tax Return of a Transferred Subsidiary for a taxable period of such Transferred Subsidiary ending on or before the Closing Date; Purchaser shall timely file (or cause to be timely filed) such Income Tax Return prepared by P&G and shall pay Taxes shown as due thereon; and P&G shall reimburse Purchaser (or, at Purchaser’s direction, the applicable Transferred Subsidiary) for the amount of such Taxes paid by Purchaser. In addition, P&G shall include the U.S. Transferred Subsidiary that is a member of its consolidated group in its consolidated Federal Tax return and in any Combined State Tax Return through the close of business on the Closing Date.
(f) Straddle Period Tax Returns.
(i) As to any Income Tax Return of a Transferred Subsidiary for a tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), Purchaser shall cause such Transferred Subsidiary to prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) such Tax Return and pay all Taxes due with respect thereto; provided, however, that P&G shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, reimburse Purchaser for any amount owed by P&G with respect to such Tax Return in accordance with Article IX; provided, further, however, as to any Tax Return for which P&G may be liable for an indemnity under Article IX: (A) Purchaser shall deliver any such Tax Return to P&G at least 30 days before it is due, (B) P&G shall have the right to examine and comment on any such Tax Return prior to the filing thereof, and such Tax Return shall not be filed without the prior written consent of P&G, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (C) P&G shall either provide such written consent or deliver a notice of objection no later than 15 days before the Tax Return is due.
(ii) P&G and Purchaser shall make (or cause any of their Affiliates to make) any election available under applicable Law to treat the Closing Date as the end of a relevant taxable period.
(g) Amended Tax Returns. After the Closing Date, none of Purchaser, any Transferred Subsidiary or any affiliate of Purchaser shall, without the prior written consent of P&G, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, file any amended Tax Return if P&G might be liable for additional Taxes on such Tax Return under Article IX.
(h) Prior to the Closing, no Transferred Subsidiary shall make any payment of, or in respect of, any Tax to any Person or any Taxing Authority, except to the extent such payment is in respect of a Tax that is due or payable or has been properly estimated in accordance with applicable Law as applied in a manner consistent with past practice of P&G.
58
(i) Cooperation. P&G and Purchaser shall each reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns of the Transferred Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to the Pharmaceuticals Business or the Pharmaceuticals Business Assets, including (A) maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and in the defense or resolution of any Tax claim, audit or assessment, whether in connection with an audit or otherwise and (B) making available for consultation knowledgeable personnel in connection with such Tax matters. Each of Purchaser, P&G and their respective Affiliates will need access, from time to time after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information held by P&G, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) to the extent such records and information pertain to events occurring prior to the Closing. Therefore, Purchaser and P&G shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates (including each Transferred Subsidiary) to, (i) retain all records relating to Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiaries and with respect to the Pharmaceuticals Business Assets for all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date until the expiration of the statutes of limitation (including any extensions thereof) for the taxable period or periods to which such records relate; and (ii) allow the other party and its agents and representatives (and agents or representatives of any of its Affiliates), at times and dates mutually acceptable to the parties, to inspect, review and make copies of such records as such other party may deem necessary or appropriate from time to time, such activities to be conducted during normal business hours and at such other party’s expense. Purchaser and P&G further agree, upon request, to use all reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or customer of any Transferred Subsidiary or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including but not limited to with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). Each party shall promptly reimburse the other for such other party’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with requests made by such first party under this Section 5.14(i), but no other charges shall be payable by the requesting party to the other party in connection with such requests.
(j) Refunds and Credits. Any refund or credit of Income Taxes relating to any Transferred Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or other Taxes which for which P&G is responsible under Article IX) shall be for the account of P&G. Any other refund or credit of Income Taxes relating to any Transferred Subsidiary for any Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Purchaser. Purchaser shall, if P&G so requests and at P&G’s expense, file for and obtain or cause the relevant Transferred Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates to file for and obtain any refunds or credits to which P&G is entitled under this Section 5.14(j), and shall promptly remit any such refund to P&G after the receipt thereof. Purchaser and the Transferred Subsidiaries shall permit P&G to control the prosecution of any such refund claim. If P&G pays (or causes any Transferred Subsidiary to pay prior to the Closing) estimated Income Taxes for any Straddle Period in excess of the amount ultimately determined to be due for the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and Purchaser obtains the benefit of such excess payment, Purchaser shall promptly refund such excess to P&G.
59
(k) Tax Sharing Agreements. P&G shall cause the provisions of any Tax Sharing Agreement between P&G or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and any Transferred Subsidiary, on the other hand, to be terminated on or prior to the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, no party shall have any rights or obligations under any such Tax Sharing Agreement.
(l) Transfer Taxes. All payments of Transfer Taxes shall be made by the party required to make such payment under applicable Law. Each of Purchaser and P&G shall reimburse the other party for fifty percent of all Transfer Taxes paid by such other party. Upon payment of any such Transfer Tax, the paying party shall present a statement to the non-paying party setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the paying party is entitled under this Section 5.14(l) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount to be reimbursed. The non-paying party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than 10 days after the presentation of such statement. Any payment not made within such time shall bear interest at the rate specified in Section 2.07(c) for each day until paid. P&G and Purchaser shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as may be required in connection with the payment of Transfer Taxes. Each of P&G and Purchaser, as appropriate, shall execute and deliver all instruments and certificates necessary to enable the other to comply with any filing requirements relating to any such Transfer Taxes.
(m) Certain Disputes. Disputes arising under Section 5.14 or 9.01 and not resolved by mutual agreement within 30 days shall be resolved by an accounting firm (the “Tax Accounting Referee”), chosen and mutually acceptable to both Purchaser and P&G within five days of the date on which the need to choose the Tax Accounting Referee arises. The Tax Accounting Referee shall resolve any disputed items within 30 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. The costs, fees and expenses of the Tax Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by Purchaser and P&G.
(n) P&G Options. P&G shall claim, and none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall claim, for U.S. federal, state, and foreign income tax purposes, any deduction attributable to the exercise in any Post-Closing Tax Period by any Article 6 Employee of an option granted by P&G or any of its Affiliates to purchase P&G stock. If, as a result of an audit adjustment or otherwise, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is allowed a deduction for U.S. federal, state or foreign income tax purposes attributable to the exercise of any such option, Purchaser shall notify P&G that such deduction has been allowed and shall pay to P&G an amount equal to any cash benefit actually realized as a result of such deduction, promptly after the realization of such cash benefit.
(o) P&G or an Affiliate thereof shall make a valid election, effective prior to the Closing Date, to cause Procter & Xxxxxx Pharmaceuticals Puerto Rico, LLC to be treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
SECTION 5.15. Outsourced Items.
(a) Equipment. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the HP Leased Equipment is currently leased from HP and is not included in the Pharmaceuticals Business Assets. Prior to the Closing Purchaser may enter into an agreement with HP to purchase the HP Leased
60
Equipment effective as of the Closing (or, as of the expiration of the relevant service under the Transition Services Agreement, in the case of any HP Leased Equipment used to provide such services). As soon as practicable following the Closing (or, following the expiration of the relevant service under the Transition Services Agreement, in the case of any HP Leased Equipment used to provide such services) on the terms and subject to the conditions contemplated by the HP services Agreement (or such other terms and conditions that Purchaser is able to negotiate with HP), subject to receipt of confirmation from HP that Purchaser has purchased the HP Leased Equipment, P&G shall make the HP Leased Equipment available to Purchaser. Promptly upon taking possession of any HP Leased Equipment, Purchaser shall remove all software from the HP Leased Equipment except for any Pharmaceuticals Business Software to which Purchaser acquires rights pursuant to Section 5.15(c) and, to the extent of any remaining term for the applicable services, any software the Purchaser is expressly permitted to use pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement. P&G shall make any other outsourced equipment available to Purchaser to the extent, and on the terms, provided in the Transition Services Agreement.
(b) Certain Non-U.S. Employee Vehicles. Prior to the Closing, P&G shall use its reasonable best efforts to work with Purchaser to identify any leased motor vehicles used or held for use by a Continuing Employee where such Continuing Employee is lessee but lease payments are made (or reimbursed) by P&G or its Affiliates (the “Reimbursed Auto Lease”). P&G and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to implement an arrangement so that from and after the Closing such Continuing Employee may continue to use the motor vehicle subject to the applicable Reimbursed Auto Lease and the economic benefits and burdens of such Reimbursed Auto Lease are transferred to a Transferred Subsidiary or Purchasing Affiliate on a basis consistent with the transfer of economic benefits and burdens of automobile leases where P&G or an Affiliate is the lessee that are transferred to Purchaser or a Purchasing Affiliate at the Closing.
(c) Certain Licensed Pharmaceuticals Business Software. With respect to any licensed software application included within the Pharmaceuticals Business Software as to which the applicable license agreement was not disclosed to Purchaser prior to the date hereof, Purchaser shall have the option to have the applicable license treated as a Pharmaceuticals Business Asset for all purposes of this Agreement and assigned by P&G or its Affiliate, as applicable, to Purchaser (subject to the proviso in clause (y) of the definition of “Pharmaceuticals Business Assets” and Section 5.06), or have such license treated as an Excluded Asset for all purposes of this Agreement and retained by P&G and its Affiliates.
SECTION 5.16. Weiterstadt Preemption Right. (a) Promptly after the date hereof, P&G shall cause Procter & Xxxxxx Grundstücks- und Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH & Co. KG (“P&G KG”), the owner of the manufacturing facility in Weiterstadt, Germany identified on Schedule 1.01(d)(v) (the “Weiterstadt Facility”), to seek to obtain from the Weiterstadt, Germany, local authority a waiver, statement or other certificate with respect to a Weiterstadt Waiver. Purchaser acknowledges that a binding waiver or statement by the local authority can only be obtained upon signing of the Weiterstadt Purchase Agreement.
(b) Promptly after the date hereof, P&G shall cause P&G KG and Procter & Xxxxxx Pharmaceuticals-Germany GmbH (“P&G GmbH”) to amend the terms of the existing lease
61
between such parties related to the Weiterstadt Facility (the “Weiterstadt Lease”) to reflect the terms set forth on Schedule 5.16 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to P&G and Purchaser.
(c) Promptly after the date hereof but after implementing the amendments to the Weiterstadt Lease referred to in Section 5.16(b) above, P&G shall cause P&G KG and P&G GmbH (the “Weiterstadt Acquiring Subsidiary”) to enter into a customary purchase agreement before a German notary public regarding the sale and transfer of the Weiterstadt Facility from P&G KG to the P&G GmbH (the “Weiterstadt Purchase Agreement”). The Weiterstadt Purchase Agreement will be on customary terms reasonably acceptable to P&G and Purchaser and will provide for the sale and transfer of the ownership to the Weiterstadt Facility without any consideration other than the amount set forth on Schedule 5.07 (the “Weiterstadt Allocation”). The closing of the transfer of ownership to the Weiterstadt Facility from P&G KG to P&G GmbH pursuant to the terms of the Weiterstadt Purchase Agreement (the “Weiterstadt Closing”) shall occur either:
(i) immediately prior to the Closing if the German local authority has previously (A) waived any preemption right under the German Statutory Code on Construction and Building or issued a similar statement with respect to the sale and transfer of the ownership to the Weiterstadt Facility from P&G KG to the Weiterstadt Acquiring Subsidiary, (B) not exercised any such right within the period of exercise under the German Statutory Code on Construction and Building or (C) determined that no such right exists (any of (A), (B) or (C), a “Weiterstadt Waiver”); or
(ii) if a Weiterstadt Waiver has not been obtained prior to Closing, immediately after obtaining a Weiterstadt Waiver.
(d) If the Weiterstadt, Germany local authority exercises its preemption right under the German Statutory Code on Construction and Building (i) prior to Closing, the Weiterstadt Allocation shall be deducted from the Purchase Price or (ii) at Closing or thereafter, P&G agrees to promptly repay the Weiterstadt Allocation to Purchaser.
(e) The Weiterstadt Lease shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon consummation of the Weiterstadt Closing. The Weiterstadt Purchase Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect if the Weiterstadt, Germany local authority exercises its preemption right under the German Statutory Code on Construction and Building.
SECTION 5.17. Confidentiality. (a) Purchaser acknowledges that the information being provided to it in connection with the Acquisition and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement between Purchaser and P&G (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to information to the extent relating to the Pharmaceuticals Business; provided, however, that Purchaser acknowledges that any and all other information provided to it by P&G or its representatives concerning P&G or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Closing.
62
(b) After the Closing, P&G and its Affiliates will hold, and will use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence all confidential documents and other information concerning the Pharmaceuticals Business. The obligation of P&G and its Affiliates to hold any such information in confidence shall not extend to any information that is (i) required to be disclosed by applicable Law, (ii) as necessary to defend or prosecute any indemnification claim or any Proceeding, or (iii) except as a result of a disclosure by P&G or its Affiliates after the Closing, generally available to the public or already known by a third party receiving such information from P&G or its Affiliates. The obligation of P&G and its Affiliates to hold any such information in confidence shall be satisfied if they exercise the same care with respect to such information as they would take to preserve the confidentiality of their own similar information.
SECTION 5.18. No Hiring; Non-Competition. (a) During the two-year period that begins as of the Closing, (i) without the consent of P&G Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, hire any employee of P&G or its Affiliates (other than the Continuing Employees) that had worked in the Pharmaceuticals Business during the two years prior to the date hereof, and (ii) without the consent of Purchaser P&G shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, hire any Continuing Employee. The restrictions on hiring set forth in this Section 5.18 shall not apply to any employee of P&G or its Affiliates or any Continuing Employee that has been terminated by P&G or Purchaser, or their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, prior to any discussions with the hiring party.
(b) P&G agrees that for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall engage, either directly or indirectly, as a principal or for its own account or solely or jointly with others, or as stockholders in any corporation or joint stock association, in any Competing Business. A “Competing Business” means the business of manufacturing, marketing, packaging, distributing and selling (i) a biphosphonate for the treatment or prevention of post-menopausal osteoporosis, or (ii) an oral, non-steroidal treatment of ulcerative colitis, in each case in the territories in which the Pharmaceutical Business currently sells products for these indications.

(iii) conducting any business with respect to any product that can be distributed or sold without a prescription from a medical doctor; or

63
(c) If any provision contained in this Section 5.18 shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section 5.18, but this Section 5.18 shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law. P&G agrees that Purchaser would be irreparably harmed by any breach of this Section and that there would be no adequate remedy at law or in damages to compensate for any such breach. The parties shall be entitled to injunctive relief requiring specific performance of this Section 5.18, and the parties consent to the entry thereof.
SECTION 5.19. Insurance Matters. Except for the Pharmaceuticals Business Insurance Claims, from and after the Closing Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Transferred Subsidiaries not to, assert any claim against any insurance policies or practices of P&G and its Affiliates (including any captive insurance policies, fronted insurance policies, surety bonds or corporate insurance policies or practices, or any form of self-insurance whatsoever).

If any claims are identified that may be made with respect to any Pharmaceuticals Business Asset or Assumed Liability under any Third Party Liability Insurance with respect to any occurrences prior to the Closing (except for claims identified in Schedules 1.01(a)(x) and 1.01(d)(xiii)), P&G shall assign, or cause to be assigned, to Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof such claims and the rights to coverage and proceeds relating thereto, to the extent such assignment is permitted under the terms of such policy, or shall otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to make and administer such claims on behalf of Purchaser.
SECTION 5.20. Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party, each party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions, as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, in the case of P&G, executing and delivering to Purchaser such assignments, deeds, bills of sale, consents and other instruments as Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request as necessary or desirable for such purpose (it being understood that no such assignment, deed, xxxx of sale, consent or other instrument of transfer shall require P&G or its Affiliates to make any additional representations, warranties or covenants, expressed or implied, not contained in this Agreement). This Section 5.20 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.06 with respect to P&G’s obligations to obtain any required Authorizations and consents of third parties.
SECTION 5.21. Notice of Certain Events; Supplemental Disclosures. Each party shall promptly notify the other party of (i) any written notice from any Person alleging that
64
the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any written notice from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) any inaccuracy of any its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, such that a condition precedent to the Closing contained in Section 7.02(a) (in the case of notice by P&G) or Section 7.03(a) (in the case of notice by Purchaser), as applicable, would not be satisfied at the Closing; and (iv) any failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that except as provided in the following sentence, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.21 shall not limit or otherwise affect the rights or remedies available hereunder to the party receiving that notice. If the Closing occurs notwithstanding the delivery of a notice pursuant to clause (iii) of the foregoing sentence in which the notifying party expressly acknowledges that the condition precedent to the Closing contained in Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as applicable, would not be satisfied at Closing and accordingly that the receiving party is not required to consummate the Closing, then such notice shall be deemed to be a supplement to the P&G Disclosure Letter or Purchaser Disclosure Letter, as applicable, and effective to cure and correct for all purposes (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article IX) any breach of any representation or warranty relating to the P&G Disclosure Letter or Purchaser Disclosure Letter, as applicable, not having read at all times as so supplemented. If a notice pursuant to clause (iii) is delivered less than three Business Day in advance of the anticipated Closing Date, then the parties shall, at the request of Purchaser, delay the anticipated Closing up to three Business Days following such delivery The obligation to provide notice pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 5.21 shall not constitute an obligation or covenant of P&G or Purchaser for purposes of Section 7.02(b) or Section 7.03(b).
SECTION 5.22. European Interim Operating Provisions.
(a) If, on a date on which the conditions under Article VII (other than the condition set forth in Section 7.01(c)), shall have been satisfied or waived, or could be satisfied on such date were the Closing to occur, any required consultations with any works councils, economic committees or unions in any jurisdiction have not been conducted to completion, or P&G has not received a motivated opinion where required, then:

ARTICLE VI
EMPLOYMENT MATTERS
SECTION 6.01. Identification of Employees; Continuity of Employment. (a) Not more than 20 and not less than 10 days prior to the Closing, P&G shall provide Purchaser with updated versions of Schedule 5.09(c) (Retained Employees), Schedule 3.17(c) (Core In-Scope Employees) and Schedule 3.17(d) (Double-Choice Employees), reflecting only such changes from the versions of such Schedules attached to this Agreement as of the date hereof as are contemplated by the principles set forth on Schedule 6.01(a) and highlighting such changes.
(b) P&G and Purchaser hereby acknowledge that it is in their mutual best interest for there to be continuity of employment by the Transferred Subsidiaries (or Purchaser or its Affiliates) following the Closing Date with respect to (i) each Core In-Scope Employee, (ii) each Double-Choice Employee that receives and accepts an offer of employment from Purchaser as of the Closing, and (iii) any employee of P&G and its Affiliates whose employment is required pursuant to applicable Law to transfer to Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) in connection with the sale of the Pharmaceuticals Business (other than any employee whose employment with the P&G or its Affiliates terminated prior to the Closing) (collectively, “Article 6 Employees”). Nothing herein shall require the Purchaser to make an offer of employment to any Double-Choice Employee. P&G shall take all actions necessary to provide that as of the Closing Date (i) no Transferred Subsidiary shall employ or shall have any liability or obligation to employ any individual who is not an Article 6 Employee and (ii) neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser Affiliate shall have any obligation to employ any such employee and P&G and its Affiliates shall assume all liability with respect to such actions. Each Article 6 Employee who continues employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) (the applicable entity, the “Employing Entity”) immediately following the Closing is referred to herein as a “Continuing Employee”. Each Continuing Employee who is based in the United States is referred to as a “US Continuing Employee”, and each Continuing Employee who is based outside of the United States is referred to as a “Non-US Continuing Employee”. With respect to any Core In-Scope Employee or Double-Choice Employee located outside North America who is not expected to be employed by a Transferred Subsidiary immediately prior to the Closing Date, P&G agrees to cause the Transferred Subsidiaries to cooperate with Purchaser to permit such employee to be offered employment with an appropriate Transferred Subsidiary
68
as of the Closing Date as reasonably requested by Purchaser and to the extent practicable. Nothing herein shall be construed as a representation or guarantee by P&G that some or all of the Article 6 Employees will accept an offer of employment with Purchaser or one of Purchaser’s Affiliates or continue in employment with Purchaser or one of Purchaser’s Affiliates for any period of time following the Closing. P&G shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, and shall direct its and their respective officers, agents and representatives not to, discourage any Core In-Scope Employee from accepting or continuing employment with the Pharmaceuticals Business following the Closing either by facilitating alternative employment or otherwise and P&G shall cooperate with Purchaser to provide Purchaser with an opportunity to present its terms and conditions of employment to the Article 6 Employees. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) certain of the Article 6 Employees may be eligible for retirement or “special separation” benefits identified on Section 6.01(b) of the P&G Disclosure Letter from P&G as of the Closing under the terms and conditions of P&G’s general employment policies; (ii) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement such employees may retire from P&G or may receive “special separation” benefits from P&G as of the Closing under such policies; (iii) Purchaser’s obligations set forth in this Article VI with respect to the employment of the Article 6 Employees from and after the Closing shall not be affected by any retirement or “special separation” of such employees from P&G and its Affiliates; (iv) any such Article 6 Employee that accepts and continues employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates as of the Closing will be deemed to be a Continuing Employee for purposes of this Agreement; and (v) any retirement or “special separation” benefits shall not be taken into consideration for purposes of comparability under Section 6.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent that it can be accommodated in accordance with applicable Law, any Core In-Scope Employee who is not actively at work as of the Closing Date due to a leave of absence, disability or sick leave (in each case, reasonably expected to last for more than two weeks following the Closing), shall remain an employee of P&G and its Affiliates and shall not transfer employment to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including for these purposes any Transferred Subsidiary) until such time as such employee is able to return to active work status (each, a “Delayed Transfer Employee”). Each such Delayed Transfer Employee shall not be considered a Continuing Employee unless and until such employee returns to actively at work status with Purchaser or its Affiliates prior to the second anniversary of the Closing. With respect to each such employee, any references to the termination of any employment-related obligations of P&G or any of its Affiliates and the assumption or commencement of employment-related obligations by Purchaser and its Affiliates as of the Closing Date shall be deemed to apply instead as of the date such employee returns to actively at work status with Purchaser or its Affiliates. With respect to any Core In-Scope Employee who is working in any country pursuant to a local visa or similar authorization as of Closing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) Purchaser and P&G shall use their reasonable best efforts to allow such employee to transfer to an Affiliate of Purchaser in such country as of Closing and (ii) to the extent such measures are not completed as of Closing, such employee shall be treated as a Delayed Transfer Employee. In addition, P&G and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate to identify and effect the transfer to Purchaser of any individuals retained as independent contractors whose employment is required to transfer to Purchaser, a Purchasing Affiliate or a Transferred Subsidiary as of the Closing pursuant to applicable Law.
69
SECTION 6.02. Terms of Employment.
(a) Employment Position. As of the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of Purchaser’s Affiliates to, provide to each Continuing Employee employment in a position at least comparable to that held by such Continuing Employee immediately before the Closing on the terms set forth on Schedule 6.02(a).
(b) Compensation. The (“Continuation Period”) for each Continuing Employee means the two-year period that begins as of the Closing or such shorter period as such Continuing Employee shall remain an employee of an Employing Entity following the Closing. Purchaser shall provide each Continuing Employee with compensation on the terms set forth on Schedule 6.02(b).
(c) Severance. With respect to each Continuing Employee, other than a Continuing Employee who is a party to an individual severance agreement, who incurs a Qualifying Termination (as defined on Schedule 6.02(c)) during the two-year period that begins as of the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of Purchaser’s Affiliates to, provide such employee with the severance payments and benefits under the applicable formula set forth in Section 6.02(c) of the P&G Disclosure Letter for employees based in the relevant jurisdiction.
(d) Other Benefits. During the Continuation Period, Purchaser shall provide each Continuing Employee with other employee benefits (of a type not addressed above) that are comparable in the aggregate to the benefits offered to such Continuing Employee by P&G as of the date hereof.
(e) Welfare Plans. Purchaser shall cause each benefit plan of Purchaser and its Affiliates in which any Continuing Employee participates that is a medical benefit plan (collectively, “Purchaser’s Medical Plans”) to (1) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and service conditions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Continuing Employees, other than limitations that were in effect with respect to such employees as of the Closing Date under the corresponding Employee Benefit Plan, (2) honor any payments, charges and expenses of such Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) that were applied toward the deductible and out-of-pocket maximums under the corresponding Employee Benefit Plan in satisfying any applicable deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums or co-payments under a corresponding Purchaser Medical Plan during the same plan year in which such payments, charges and expenses were made, and (3) with respect to any medical plan, waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Continuing Employee following the Closing Date to the extent such employee had satisfied any similar limitation under the corresponding Employee Benefit Plan.
(f) Flexible Spending Accounts. Purchaser or one of Purchaser’s Affiliates shall cover each US Continuing Employee who has elected to participate in a flexible spending account plan maintained by P&G or any of its Affiliates (“P&G’s FSA”) under a flexible spending account plan maintained by Purchaser or one of Purchaser’s Affiliates (“Purchaser’s FSA”) at the same level of coverage provided under P&G’s FSA. Each US Continuing Employee shall be treated as if his participation in Purchaser’s FSA had been continuous from the beginning of the plan year under P&G’s FSA in which the Closing occurs and each existing salary reduction election shall be taken into account for the remainder of the plan year under
70
Purchaser’s FSA in which the Closing occurs, as if made under Purchaser’s FSA. Purchaser’s FSA shall provide reimbursement for medical care expenses and dependent care expenses incurred by US Continuing Employees at any time during the plan year under P&G’s FSA in which the Closing occurs (including claims incurred before the Closing), up to the amount of such US Continuing Employees’ elections and reduced by amounts previously reimbursed by P&G’s FSA. Within 30 days following the Closing date, P&G shall (i) provide to Purchaser accounting of the amounts elected, deducted and paid in respect of claims under P&G’s FSA in respect of the US Continuing Employees during the plan year in which the Closing occurs and before the Closing and (ii) pay to Purchaser the net amount, if any, of the excess of the aggregate amount deducted over the aggregate amount paid in respect of claims under P&G’s FSA in respect of the US Continuing Employees during the plan year in which the Closing occurs.
(g) Earned Vacation. Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates shall credit each Continuing Employee the amount of accrued and unpaid hours of vacation, personal hours or days earned and sick leave (the “Transferred Leave”) applicable to such Continuing Employee as of the Closing and P&G shall provide to Purchaser as of the Closing Date a schedule indicating for each Continuing Employee the type and number of days of Transferred Leave. Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates shall ensure that such Transferred Leave is not subject to forfeiture to the same extent not subject to forfeiture under the P&G Vacation Policy and that such Transferred Leave does not count toward any maximum accrual amount under any plan, program or policy maintained by Purchaser or one of Purchaser’s Affiliates for the purpose of providing vacation, personal days or hours or sick leave.
(h) Expatriate Packages; Localization Packages. With respect to Continuing Employees who, as of the Closing, receive an Expatriate Package, Purchaser will maintain a comparable Expatriate Package for each such Continuing Employee unless and until such Continuing Employee returns to his or her home country and will pay the costs of such repatriation to the same extent and on the same terms as provided for in P&G’s or its Affiliate’s policies and practices, as applicable, immediately prior to the Closing. With respect to Continuing Employees who, immediately prior to the Closing, have been localized other than in their original home country and receive specific benefits from P&G or its Affiliates relating to their localized status (a “Localization Package” and each such Continuing Employee, a “Localized Employee”), Purchaser will maintain a comparable Localization Package for each such Localized Employee unless and until his or her employment terminates.
(i) International Retirement Arrangements. Effective as of the Closing Date each international retirement arrangement (a “XXX”) for any Continuing Employee shall be terminated and P&G shall be obligated to make a cash payment to each such Continuing Employee in an amount determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable XXX and shall take all other actions that may be necessary in connection with such termination and Purchaser shall not assume any liabilities in respect of such IRAs.
(j) Post-Continuation Period Benefits. Following the Continuation Period, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of Purchaser’s Affiliates to, provide to each Continuing Employee then continuing in employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates employment on terms no less favorable in the aggregate than the terms of employment of similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates.
71
(k) Purchaser Terms and Benefits. For each Continuing Employee, the terms of Schedule 6.02(k) shall apply.
(l) Special Rule for Non-US Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of Schedule 6.02(l) shall apply to all Non-US Continuing Employees.
SECTION 6.03. Bonuses and Incentives. P&G will retain all obligations to the Article 6 Employees, including Continuing Employees, with respect to the bonuses and incentives under P&G’s Short Term Achievement Reward bonus program (and any other cash or similar incentive program) in which the Continuing Employees participate for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs that are attributable to the period prior to the Closing. P&G shall be responsible for its pro-rata share (determined by dividing the number of days of the relevant measurement period occurring prior to and including the Closing Date by the total number of days of such measurement period) of any “13th-month,” “jubilee” or anniversary, or similar bonus to which any Continuing Employee is entitled for service during a measurement period that begins prior to the Closing and ends following the Closing (and within one year following the Closing in the case of any “jubilee” or anniversary bonus), and Purchaser shall be responsible for the remainder of such bonus.
SECTION 6.04. Credit for Service with P&G. Where applicable, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates shall provide credit for each Continuing Employee’s length of service with P&G and its Affiliates for all purposes (including eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual) under each plan, program, policy, or arrangement of Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates to the same extent such service was recognized under a similar plan, program, policy or arrangement of P&G or any of its Affiliates; provided that such prior service credit shall not be required to the extent that it results in a duplication of benefits.
SECTION 6.05. P&G Non-US Pension Plans; UK Early Retirement Plan.
(a) French (Retirement Indemnity Plan), German, Italian and Swiss Pension Plans.
(i) Purchaser shall assume, and shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Purchaser to, pay, perform and discharge all obligations for benefits accrued by the Non-US Continuing Employees under the plans set forth in Section 6.05(a)(i) of the P&G Disclosure Letter (the “P&G Section 6.05(a) Plans”). Purchaser and P&G agree that from and after the Closing, P&G and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability in respect of the P&G Section 6.05(a) Plans for the payment of pension benefits or post employment medical benefits to any Non-US Continuing Employee or dependent thereof.
(ii) Not less than ten Business Days prior to the Closing, P&G shall deliver to Purchaser a good faith estimate prepared by a qualified actuary in the relevant jurisdiction of the applicable Actuarial Liability as of the Closing Date with respect to each of the P&G Section 6.05(a) Plans, together with copies of work papers and other documents reasonably sufficient to support the calculation of such estimate. Such estimates shall be prepared using the actuarial assumptions set forth in Section 6.05(a)(ii) of the P&G Disclosure Letter. At the Closing, in accordance with the terms of each P&G
72
Section 6.05(a) Plan, P&G shall cause a transfer of cash equal to the estimated Actuarial Liability referred to above (or if applicable Law or the terms of such plan specify the amount thereof to be transferred, such amount, together with cash representing any deficiency between the value of such transfer and the Actuarial Liability referred to above) to be made from or in respect of the applicable P&G Section 6.05(a) Plan (or from P&G directly) to a corresponding pension plan maintained by Purchaser.
(iii) Within 45 days after the Closing Date, P&G shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth a detailed calculation and breakdown prepared by a qualified actuary in the relevant jurisdiction of the applicable Actuarial Liability with respect to each of the P&G Section 6.05(a) Plans (the “Pensions Statement”). Unless Purchaser notifies P&G in writing within 30 days after P&G’s delivery of the Pensions Statement of any objection to the computation of the Actuarial Liability with respect to any P&G Section 6.05(a) Plan, the Pensions Statement shall become final and binding. Any such notice of objection shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and only include disagreements based on the calculation of the applicable Actuarial Liability not being in accordance with standard actuarial practice and the actuarial assumptions set forth in Section 6.05(a)(ii) of the P&G Disclosure Letter.
(iv) If Purchaser provides a notice of objection to P&G pursuant to Section 6.05(a)(iii) within such 30-day period, Purchaser and P&G shall, during the 30-day period following P&G’s receipt of such notice of objection, attempt in good faith to resolve Purchaser’s objections. If P&G and Purchaser are able to resolve all or a portion of such objections within such 30-day period, they shall reduce such resolution to writing and the matters so agreed upon shall be final and binding on P&G and Purchaser. If P&G and Purchaser are unable to resolve all such objections within such 30-day period, the matters remaining in dispute shall be submitted to an actuarial firm mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and P&G and, if P&G and Purchaser are unable to so agree within 10 days after the end of such 30-day period, then P&G and Purchaser shall each select such a firm and such firms shall jointly select a third nationally recognized firm to resolve the disputed matters (such selected firm being the “Independent Actuarial Expert”), together with the parties’ written submissions in support of their respective positions. The parties shall instruct the Independent Actuarial Expert to render its reasoned written decision as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 60 days after its selection. The resolution of disputed items by the Independent Actuarial Expert (A) shall be based solely on the written submissions provided by the parties; (B) shall not provide for a resolution of any disputed item that is more favorable to P&G than the determination of such item in the Pensions Statement or more favorable to Purchaser than the determination of such item in the notice of disagreement submitted pursuant to Section 6.05(a)(iii); and (C) shall be final and binding, and the determination of the Independent Actuarial Expert shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover. The fees and expenses of the Independent Actuarial Expert shall be borne equally by Purchaser and P&G. P&G shall cause its Affiliates and their respective service providers to provide to Purchaser promptly upon request any reasonably requested information and materials reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable Purchaser to calculate the Actuarial Liability, to understand the calculations performed by P&G’s actuary and to assess the assets to be transferred to Purchaser’s plans in respect of any Liabilities under the P&G Section 6.05(a) Plans to be assumed by Purchaser.
73
(v) Within 10 days after the Actuarial Liability has been finally determined with respect to each of the P&G Section 6.05(a) Plans, (i) if the sum of such Actuarial Liability exceeds the aggregate amount transferred to Purchaser’s plans pursuant to Section 6.05(a)(ii), P&G shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such excess, and (ii) if the aggregate amount transferred to Purchaser’s plans pursuant to Section 6.05(a)(ii) exceeds the sum of such Actuarial Liability, Purchaser shall pay to P&G such excess. Any payment hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser or P&G, as the case may be.
(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if under applicable Law (including, without limitation, Swiss Law relating to partial liquidation rules), or by the applicable trustee of any Section 6.05(a) Plan, Continuing Employees are required to continue to accrue benefits under a P&G Section 6.05(a) Plan after the Closing or the transfer of assets described above is required to be made in assets other than cash or other procedures contrary to the above procedures are required to be followed, then the parties shall cooperate to provide for the transfer of amounts equal to the applicable Actuarial Liability inclusive of all benefit obligations assumed by Purchaser under the relevant P&G Section 6.05(a) Plan, to identify and agree the assets to be transferred and to follow such other procedures as may be required under Law.
(b) Pension Plans (other than French (Retirement Indemnity), German, Italian and Swiss Plans).
(i) No assets or liabilities with respect to the Continuing Employees shall be transferred as a result of this Agreement from any pension plan or post-retirement health or welfare plan or arrangement set forth in Section 6.05(b) of the P&G Disclosure Letter or any other pension or post-retirement health or welfare plan or arrangement (other than the P&G Section 6.05(a) Plans and the UK Early Retirement Plan) (the “P&G Section 6.05(b) Plans”) to any plan or arrangement established by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates, and, as of the Closing, the Continuing Employees participating in the P&G Section 6.05(b) Plans shall cease to accrue additional benefits under the P&G Section 6.05(b) Plans (to the extent such accruals have not already ceased). Vested benefits accrued by the Continuing Employees under the P&G Section 6.05(b) Plans through the Closing shall be payable to such Continuing Employees pursuant to the terms of, and at the time and in the amounts provided under, the P&G Section 6.05(b) Plans, as may be amended from time to time.
(c) UK Pension and Early Retirement Benefit.
(i) Purchaser shall assume, and shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Purchaser to, pay, perform and discharge all obligations for benefits accrued by the Non-US Continuing Employees under the provisions of the Early Retirement Benefit component of the P&G Pension Fund set forth in Section 6.05(c)(i) of the P&G Disclosure Letter (the “UK Early Retirement Provisions”). Purchaser and P&G agree that from and after
74
the Closing, P&G and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability in respect of the UK Early Retirement Provisions for the payment of benefits to any Non-US Continuing Employee or dependant thereof.
(ii) Not less than ten Business Days prior to the Closing, P&G shall deliver to Purchaser a good faith estimate prepared by a qualified actuary in the United Kingdom of the applicable UK Early Retirement Liability with respect to the UK Early Retirement Provisions, together with copies of work papers and other documents reasonably sufficient to support the calculation of such estimate. Such estimate shall be prepared using the actuarial assumptions set forth in Section 6.05(c)(ii) of the P&G Disclosure Letter. At the Closing, an amount equal to the sum of such estimates shall be offset against the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i)(B). Within 45 days after the Closing Date, P&G shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth a detailed calculation and breakdown prepared by a qualified actuary in the United Kingdom of the applicable UK Early Retirement Liability with respect to the UK Early Retirement Provisions. Any objections by Purchaser to the actuarial estimate of the UK Early Retirement Liability with respect to the UK Early Retirement Provisions shall be asserted and resolved through the provisions of Section 6.05(a) applicable to disputes and resolution of disputes with respect to the Pensions Statement.
(iii) P&G shall procure that the Procter & Xxxxxx Pharmaceuticals UK Limited (the “UK Transferred Subsidiary”) shall cease to be a participating employer of (a) each of the UK pension schemes sponsored or contributed to by P&G or any P&G Affiliate (each a “UK Scheme”) with effect on and from Closing and P&G shall pay any Liability, contribution or other payment (a) arising under section 75 or 75A Pensions Act 1995 with respect to any UK Scheme, (b) arising on or after the Closing Date under sections 38 to 51 Pensions Act 2004 with respect to any UK Scheme or (c) otherwise relating to any obligation to provide financial support for any Person which contributes to any UK Scheme pursuant to a direction made under section 43 Xxxxxxxx Xxx 0000.
SECTION 6.06. Severance Agreements. With respect to a Continuing Employee who is a party to an individual severance agreement, Purchaser shall assume such agreement and provide such employee with the severance payments and benefits to which such employee would be entitled under the terms of his or her severance agreement, or if more favorable, the severance payments provided by Purchaser to similarly situated employees under any broad-based severance plans or policies of Purchaser or its Affiliates. Purchaser and the Employing Entity may require, as a condition to the payment of any severance due hereunder to any Continuing Employee, that such Continuing Employee provide a general waiver and release of claims in a form substantially similar to the form used for similarly situated Purchaser employees; provided, that nothing herein shall preclude such Continuing Employee from becoming employed by P&G and its Affiliates and such release shall also include a provision for a release of claims for the benefit of P&G and its Affiliates.
SECTION 6.07. COBRA and HIPAA; Workers’ Compensation. Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates shall assume and be responsible for (i) all Liabilities with respect to US Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents, in respect of health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as
75
amended, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Sections 601 et seq. and Sections 701 et seq. of ERISA, Section 4980B and Sections 9801 et seq. of the Code and applicable state or similar laws; and (ii) subject to Section 6.09(d)(iii) to the extent applicable, all workers’ compensation benefits payable to or on behalf of the US Continuing Employees.
SECTION 6.08. WARN Act. Purchaser shall, and shall cause Purchaser’s Affiliates to, provide any required notice under the WARN Act, and any similar federal, state or local law or regulation, and to otherwise comply with the WARN Act and any such other similar law or regulation with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting Continuing Employees (including as a result of the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and occurring from and after the Closing. Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of Purchaser’s Affiliates to, take any action on or after the Closing Date that would cause any termination of employment of any employees by P&G or P&G’s Affiliates occurring prior to the Closing to constitute a “plant closing,” “mass layoff” or group termination or similar event under the WARN Act or any similar federal, state, local or foreign law or regulation, or to create any liability or penalty to P&G or any of its Affiliates for any employment terminations under applicable Law. P&G shall notify Purchaser of any layoffs of any employees of the Pharmaceuticals Business or any Transferred Subsidiary that occur during the 90-day period prior to the Closing.
SECTION 6.09. Administration, Employee Communications, Cooperation. (a) Following the date of this Agreement, P&G and Purchaser (and their Affiliates) shall reasonably cooperate and use good faith efforts in all matters reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Article VI, including, (i) cooperating and providing each other with all necessary and reasonable assistance and information to ensure that any works councils or committees, trade unions and/or employee representatives applicable to the Non-US Continuing Employees are provided with the information required in order for proper consultation to take place and (ii) exchanging information and data relating to workers’ compensation, employee benefits and employee benefit plan coverages (except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law), making any and all required filings and notices, making any and all required communications with Article VI Employees and obtaining any governmental approvals required hereunder.
(b) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, any communications between Purchaser and any employees of P&G and its Affiliates regarding terms of employment, employee benefits or otherwise regarding employment with Purchaser shall be conducted through processes approved by P&G, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Such processes shall provide adequate access to the Article 6 Employees and allow all reasonable means of communication with such employees by Purchaser and its Affiliates.
(c) Without limiting Purchaser’s obligations under this Article VI with respect to the Continuing Employees, this Article VI shall not (i) be treated as an amendment of, or undertaking to amend any employee benefit plan in which Purchaser’s employees participate, or (ii) prohibit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) from amending any employee benefit plan in which Purchaser’s employees participate.
76
(d) P&G shall retain and be responsible for all Liabilities to the extent relating to (i) any Pharmaceuticals Business Employee who does not become a Continuing Employee for any reason (other than a failure of Purchaser or its Affiliates to fulfill their obligations under this Article VI) (including, without limitation, any Pharmaceuticals Business Employee who has terminated employment with P&G and its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing), (ii) except as explicitly provided in this Article VI or non material Employee Benefit Plans sponsored or maintained by the Transferred Subsidiaries, any Employee Benefit Plan (including each Section 3.18(c) Plan and including any employer’s social security (or similar) contributions or costs relating to participation in such plans by the Pharmaceuticals Business Employees) and (iii) claims for benefits or recovery with respect to claims incurred on or prior to the Closing Date by any Continuing Employee under any employee benefit plan or third-party insurance arrangement, to the extent such benefit plan or third-party insurance arrangement provides for claims payment or recovery on an as incurred basis (including, without limitation, claims under medical, life insurance and disability benefit plans and policies, workers compensation claims and similar claims) (collectively, the “Specified Employee Liabilities”).
(e) P&G shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide Purchaser in a timely manner with sufficient information to enable the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s group to fulfill its obligations to the revenue authorities in any jurisdiction in relation to the participation of any of the Continuing Employee in any Employee Benefit Plan.

If this Agreement is terminated and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are abandoned as described in Section 8.01, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of Section 5.08 (Publicity), Section 5.17 (Confidentiality), Article VIII (Termination), Section 10.03 (Expenses), Section 10.09 (Governing Law) and Section 10.10 (Commencement of Proceedings); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.02 shall be deemed to (i) release any party from any liability for any willful breach by such party of the terms, conditions, covenants and other provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.03. Termination Fee. (a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by P&G or Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(ii) and all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 (other than (i) the condition set forth in Section 7.02(e) and (ii) those other conditions that, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, but, in the case of clause (ii), which conditions would be satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such termination) have been satisfied or waived on or prior to the date of such termination (such a termination described above, a “Financing Condition Termination”), then Purchaser shall pay to P&G a termination fee equal to $93,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by P&G. The Termination Fee shall be payable within two Business Days after written notice of such termination in the case of a termination by P&G and concurrently with such termination in the case of a termination by Purchaser. P&G agrees that in the event that the Termination Fee is paid to P&G pursuant to this Section 8.03, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the payment of such Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of P&G and its Related Persons against Purchaser or any of its Related Persons for, and in no event shall P&G or any of its Related Persons seek to recover any other money damages or seek any other remedy based on a claim in law or equity with respect to, (A) any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Acquisition to be consummated, (B) the termination of this Agreement, (C) any liabilities or obligations arising under this Agreement, or (D) any claims or actions arising out of or relating to any breach, termination or failure of or under this Agreement, in each case, with respect to a Financing Condition Termination and any event related thereto or otherwise in connection with a breach of this Agreement, and upon payment to P&G of the Termination Fee, neither Purchaser nor any Related Person of Purchaser shall have further liability or obligation to P&G or any of its Related Persons relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except as provided in Section 8.02). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Termination Fee shall be payable if P&G does not deliver, in advance of the Marketing Period, the Audited Financial Statements, the Required Interim Financial Statements or the other information and cooperation required in advance of the Marketing Period pursuant to Section 5.05(b), or if the failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.02(e) to be satisfied is otherwise a result of P&G’s material breach of Section 5.05(b). For purposes of this Section 8.03(a), “Related Person” means, with respect to a party, any former, current or future, direct or indirect, stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, Representative, Affiliate or assignee of such party, or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, Representative, Affiliate or assignee of any of the foregoing.
81
(b) If Purchaser shall fail to pay the Termination Fee when required pursuant to Section 8.03(a) Parent shall reimburse P&G, as applicable, for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by P&G (including reasonable expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection under and enforcement of this Section 8.03 from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal.
ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION; SURVIVAL
SECTION 9.01. Tax Indemnification.
(a) From and after the Closing, P&G shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives, successors and assignees (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against (x) (i) all Liability for Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period that are attributable to taxable income for which a Transferred Subsidiary recognized a permanent economic benefit (such as, the receipt of cash or the equivalent thereof) without Tax liability in a Pre-Closing Tax Period), (ii) all Liability of the Transferred Subsidiaries for Taxes of P&G or its Affiliates (other than another Transferred Subsidiary) as a result of the application of Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) all Liability for Section 338(h)(10) Taxes, (iv) all Liability of Purchaser or the Transferred Subsidiaries (or any successors thereto) for breach by P&G of any provision in Section 3.19 or Section 5.14, (v) all Liability for Taxes of P&G or its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries), other than Taxes described in Section 9.01(b), and (vi) all Liability for Transfer Taxes for which P&G is liable pursuant to Section 5.14(l) (provided, however, that P&G shall have no liability under this Section 9.01 for the German tax claim described in Section 3.19(b) of the P&G Disclosure Letter to the extent such liability is satisfied in the manner described in Schedule 5.07(b)) (collectively, “Indemnified Taxes”) and (y) all losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable third-party legal fees and expenses in connection with any audit, investigation, administrative proceeding or prosecution whether involving a third party claim or other action or a claim solely between the parties hereto) related to Indemnified Taxes (together with Indemnified Taxes, “Tax Losses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, P&G shall not indemnify and hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnitee from any Tax Losses to the extent directly attributable to a breach by Purchaser of Section 5.14(c) hereof or of any other obligation under this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 9.01 shall be the exclusive provision relating to indemnification for Liabilities relating to Taxes or for any breach of the representations and warranties of P&G contained in Section 3.19 and, for the avoidance of doubt, Sections 9.05, 9.06 and 9.10 shall not apply for purposes of this Section 9.01.
82
(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser and the Transferred Subsidiaries, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless P&G and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives, successors and assignees (the “P&G Indemnitees”) from and against (x)(i) all Liability for Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiaries for any Post-Closing Tax Period, (ii) all Liability for Taxes of P&G or its Affiliates (or any successors thereto) resulting from breach by Purchaser of Section 5.14(a) or Section 5.14(c) or any of its other covenants or agreements in this Agreement, and (iii) all Liability for Transfer Taxes for which Purchaser is liable pursuant to Section 5.14(l); and (y) all losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable third-party legal fees and expenses in connection with any audit, investigation, administrative proceeding or prosecution whether involving a third party claim or other action or a claim solely between the parties hereto) related to Taxes described in this Section 9.01(b).
(c) The amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Transferred Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which a Transferred Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.19, Section 5.14 and this Section 9.01 shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).
SECTION 9.02. Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Tax Claims.
(a) If any party is required to indemnify and hold harmless another party from and against any Liability for Taxes pursuant to Section 9.01 (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”), and the applicable indemnified party to this Agreement (the “Tax Indemnified Party”) receives a notice of deficiency, proposed adjustment, adjustment, assessment, audit, examination, suit, dispute or other claim (a “Tax Claim”) with respect (in whole or in part) to such Taxes, the Tax Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Tax Indemnifying Party in writing of such Tax Claim. No failure or delay on the part of the Tax Indemnified Party to give notice to the Tax Indemnifying Party shall reduce or otherwise affect the Liabilities of the Tax Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX; provided, however, that the Tax Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX to the extent that such failure or delay shall have adversely affected the Tax Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against such Liability or claim for Taxes.
(b) The Tax Indemnifying Party shall assume and control the applicable audit or examination and the defense of a Tax Claim involving any Taxes for which it has an obligation to indemnify the Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.01, and the Tax Indemnified Party agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with the Tax Indemnifying Party in pursuing such contest, including execution of any powers of attorney in favor of the Tax Indemnifying
83
Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Tax Indemnifying Party shall keep the Tax Indemnified Party informed of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Claim and the Tax Indemnified Party, at its own cost and expense and with its own counsel, shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the applicable audit or examination and defense of such Tax Claim.
(c) In no case shall any Tax Indemnified Party settle or otherwise compromise (or extend the statute of limitations for) any Tax Claim without the Tax Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Neither party shall settle a Tax Claim relating solely to Income Taxes of the Tax Indemnified Party or any of its subsidiaries for a Straddle Period without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
SECTION 9.03. Other Indemnification by P&G. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.06 and Section 9.11, from and after the Closing, P&G shall, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable third-party legal fees and expenses in connection with the investigation or prosecution of any Third Party Claim or any claim solely between the parties hereto) (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee (other than any Loss relating to Taxes or a breach of the representations and warranties of P&G set forth in Section 3.19, the exclusive indemnification provisions for which are set forth in Section 9.01), to the extent arising out of or resulting from any of the following:
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of P&G contained in this Agreement;
(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of P&G contained in this Agreement;
(c) any Specified Indemnified Liability;
(d) 50% of the Losses arising out of or resulting from any Shared Pre-Closing Environmental Liability; and
(e) 50% of the Losses arising out of or resulting from any Shared Pre-Closing Proceeding Liability.
SECTION 9.04. Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.06, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify the P&G Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any P&G Indemnitee (other than any Loss relating to Taxes, for which indemnification provisions are set forth in Section 9.01), to the extent arising out of or resulting from any of the following:
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement;
(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and
84
(c) the failure of Purchaser or its Affiliates to pay, perform or otherwise discharge when due and payable any Assumed Liability (except to the extent subject to indemnification by P&G pursuant to Sections 9.03(d) or (e)).
SECTION 9.05. Indemnification Procedures.
(a) Third Party Claims. If any party (the “Indemnified Party”) receives written notice of the commencement of any Proceeding or the assertion of any claim by a third party or the imposition of any penalty or assessment (in each case other than with respect to Taxes) for which indemnity may be sought under Section 9.03 or Section 9.04 (a “Third Party Claim”), and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) with written notice of such Third Party Claim, stating the nature, basis for indemnification and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of any relevant documents evidencing such Third Party Claim. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice, or provide such documentation, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 45 days from receipt of any such notice of a Third Party Claim to give notice to assume the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings thereof; provided that the Indemnifying Party acknowledges that the Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim are within the scope of indemnified Losses subject to Section 9.03 or 9.04 (any such acknowledgement having no effect on the application of any other provisions of this Section 9.05(a) that may limit the Indemnifying Party’s liability for such Losses). If notice to the effect set forth in the immediately preceding sentence is given by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings of the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to (i) assume the defense, appeal or settlement of any Third Party Claim if (A) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; or (B) the Third Party Claim seeks any injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; or (ii) maintain control of the defense, appeal or settlement of any Third Party Claim if the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend in good faith the Third Party Claim. So long as the Indemnifying Party is entitled to do so and has assumed the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings of the Third Party Claim in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings of the Third Party Claim (provided that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim or if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest (due to one or more legal defenses or counterclaims, a variable to the Indemnified Party, which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or other such conflicts)), (ii) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not (A) admit to any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (B) consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement provides for equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or if
85
such judgment or such settlement does not expressly unconditionally release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all Liabilities and impose no ongoing constraint on the Indemnified Party or, if applicable, any real property with respect to such Third Party Claim, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (it being understood and agreed that the Indemnified Party shall agree to any such settlement recommended by the Indemnifying Party for which the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent is not required pursuant to this claim (iii)). The parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such Third Party Claims. The parties shall also cooperate in any such defense, appeal or settlement proceedings, and give each other reasonable access, upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours, to all information relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(b) Other Claims. In order to assert a claim for indemnification under Section 9.03 or Section 9.04 (in each case, other than in respect of a Third Party Claim), the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with written notice of such claim, stating the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to refer such claim for resolution to the Chief Financial Officer of P&G and the Chief Financial Officer of Purchaser or (or their designees) by delivering to the Indemnified Party a written notice of the referral. Following receipt of a notice of referral, each of the Parties will cause their respective officer or designee to negotiate in good faith to resolve the Claim. If such officers or designees are unable to resolve the Claim within 60 days after the date notice of such claim is provided by the Indemnified Party, then either Party will have the right to seek to resolve such claim in accordance with the provisions of Article X. The Parties agree that all discussions, negotiations and other information exchanged between the Parties during the foregoing negotiation will be without prejudice to the legal position of a Party in any subsequent Proceeding.
SECTION 9.06. Limitations on Indemnification. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) P&G shall not have any liability under Section 9.03(a) (other than with respect to a breach of any of the Specified Representations) unless the aggregate liability for Losses suffered by the Purchaser Indemnitees thereunder exceeds $23,250,000, and then only to the extent of such excess; (ii) P&G’s aggregate liability under Section 9.03(a) (other than with respect to a breach of Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04, 3.08, the first sentence of Section 3.09(a), the first sentence of Section 3.10(d), 3.11(c), 3.20 and 3.21 (the “Specified Representations”)) shall not exceed $620,000,000; (iii) (A) Purchaser shall not have any liability under Section 9.04(a) (other than with respect to a breach of any of the Purchaser Specified Representations) unless the aggregate liability for Losses suffered by the P&G Indemnitees thereunder exceeds $23,250,000, and then only to the extent of such excess; (B) Purchaser’s aggregate liability under Section 9.04(a) (other than with respect to a breach of Sections 4.01 and 4.07 (the “Purchaser Specified Representations”)) shall not exceed $620,000,000; and (C) Purchaser’s aggregate liability under Section 9.04(a) with respect to a breach of the Purchaser Specified Representations shall not exceed the Purchase Price; (iv) no party shall have any liability under Section 9.03(a) or Section 9.04(a) for any Loss arising out of any individual claim (or any series of claims arising out of substantially the same events, facts or
86
circumstances, which shall be aggregated for purposes of this clause (iv)), unless such Loss exceeds $100,000, and any Losses that are disregarded pursuant to this clause (iv) shall not be aggregated for purposes of the preceding clauses (i) through (iii); (v) P&G shall not have any liability under Section 9.03(a) for any otherwise indemnifiable Loss to the extent, but only to the extent, of specific reserves or provisions on the Unaudited Balance Sheet for the matter giving rise to such Loss; and (vi) no party shall be liable under Section 9.03 or 9.04 for any Losses to the extent resulting from the failure of the Purchaser Indemnitees or the P&G Indemnitees, as applicable, to mitigate such Losses in accordance with applicable Laws. To the extent that any Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees arising out of a breach of P&G’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.20, are capable of mitigation through the conveyance to Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee of the non-transferred Asset giving rise to such Loss, Purchaser and P&G shall cooperate to effect any arrangement reasonably proposed by P&G for the transfer to Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee of such Asset following notice of the applicable claim.
(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, other than the representations and warranties of P&G specifically contained in Article III, there are no representations or warranties of P&G or any other person either expressed or implied with respect to the Pharmaceuticals Business, the Pharmaceuticals Business Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Transferred Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated hereby, individually or collectively. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser, together with its advisors, has made its own investigation of the Pharmaceuticals Business, the Pharmaceuticals Business Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Transferred Subsidiaries, and is not relying on any implied warranties or upon any representation or warranty whatsoever as to the prospects (financial or otherwise), or the viability or likelihood of success, of the Pharmaceuticals Business, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that except as set forth in Article III, neither P&G nor any of its Affiliates makes any representations or warranties relating to the maintenance, repair, condition, design, performance or marketability of any Pharmaceuticals Business Asset, including merchantability of fitness for a particular purpose. Except as expressly set forth in any representation or warranty in Article III, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it and the Purchaser Indemnitees shall have no claim or right to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (or otherwise) with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished to or for Purchaser by P&G, any of its Affiliates, or any of its or their officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors, including the Confidential Memorandum regarding the Pharmaceuticals Business provided to Purchaser and any information, documents or material made available to Purchaser in any “data room”, management presentation or any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION 9.07. Calculation of Indemnity Payments. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be (a) net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss (less the cost to collect the proceeds of such insurance) and (b) reduced to take account of the actual amount by which the Taxes of the Indemnified Party shall be reduced by such Loss. If any Loss related to a claim by an Indemnified Party is covered by one or more third party insurance policies held by the indemnified party, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue claims against the applicable insurers for coverage of such Loss
87
under such policies. If the Indemnified Party actually receives a full or partial recovery under such insurance policies following payment of indemnification by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, then the Indemnified Party shall refund amounts received from the Indemnifying Party up to the amount of indemnification actually received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Loss.
SECTION 9.08. Exclusivity. From and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of a party to this Agreement with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, the Pharmaceuticals Business, the Pharmaceuticals Business Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Transferred Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud and except for seeking specific performance or other equitable relief to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 5.05(b), Section 5.11 and this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party to this Agreement hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 5.05(b), Section 5.11 and this Article IX and other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud and except for seeking specific performance or other equitable relief to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement) that such party, any Purchaser Indemnitee (in the case of Purchaser’s waiver) or any P&G Indemnitee (in the case of P&G’s waiver) may have against the other party or any of its Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers and employees arising under or based upon any applicable Laws (including with respect to environmental matters generally, or any matters under CERCLA specifically) and arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or, in the case of P&G’s waiver, arising out of or based upon its ownership of, or the operation of, the Pharmaceuticals Business prior to the Closing.
SECTION 9.09. Tax Treatment of Indemnification. For all Tax purposes, Purchaser and P&G agree to treat any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of an IRS Form 870-AD or successor form) provides otherwise.
SECTION 9.10. Survival. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing solely for purposes of Sections 9.03 and 9.04. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (other than the Specified Representations and the Purchaser Specified Representations) shall terminate at the close of business on the date that is 18 months following the Closing. The Specified Representations and the Purchaser Specified Representations shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (or, if there is no applicable statute of limitations, until the fifth anniversary of the Closing). None of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date and such surviving covenants and agreements shall survive the Closing only until the expiration of the term of the undertaking set forth in such agreements and covenants, except that breaches thereof shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (or, if there is no applicable statute of limitations, until the fifth anniversary of the Closing). No party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof unless a notice of a breach thereof giving rise to a right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnity may
88
be sought prior to such termination, in which case the noticed claims relating to such breach shall survive such termination until they are finally resolved. Without limiting the foregoing, all covenants and agreements of the parties are subject to all applicable statutes of limitation, statutes of repose and other similar defenses provided by law or equity. This Section 9.10 shall not apply to Sections 3.19, 5.14 and 9.01, the survival of which is governed solely by Section 9.01(d).
SECTION 9.11. Matters Relating to Environmental Indemnification. (a) P&G shall have no obligation to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9.03(a) for any Losses arising from a breach of Section 3.14 or pursuant to Section 9.03(d) for any Losses arising from Shared Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities (together, the “Indemnified Environmental Matters”) to the extent such Losses arise from or are a consequence of (i) the knowing initiation or undertaking by any Purchaser Indemnitee of activity primarily for the purpose of identifying, accelerating or increasing the cost of any Indemnified Environmental Matter, (ii) any disclosure, report or other communication to any Governmental Entity or third party (other than to P&G or any of its Affiliates (or their respective agents) or any third parties acting on behalf of or in concert with any Purchaser Indemnitee) by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnitee relating to any Indemnified Environmental Matters or (iii) a Phase II or other intrusive investigation, sampling, testing or monitoring of soil, surface water, groundwater or sediment performed by or on behalf of Purchaser or its Affiliates on or after the Closing, which, in the case of each of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, is not required by any Law, Environmental Permit or Governmental Entity or is not reasonably required to respond to a Third Party Claim (whether made against a P&G Indemnitee or a Purchaser Indemnitee) or is not initiated or undertaken in good faith to address conditions that pose an imminent and substantial health risk or present an imminent and substantial threat to the environment or natural resources or is not in connection with any expansion, repair in the ordinary course of business, modification in the ordinary course of business or closure of any Pharmaceuticals Business Asset; provided once the parties hereto have acknowledged a matter qualifies for coverage under Section 9.03(a) or Section 9.03(d), the limitations set forth in this Section 9.11(a)(ii) and (iii) shall not apply to such matter.
(b) In addition to the limitations in Section 9.11(a), P&G shall have no obligation to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnitee for any Losses arising from an Indemnified Environmental Matter to the extent that such Losses were not incurred in a “Commercially Reasonable Manner” which shall mean the most cost-effective and commercially reasonable method for investigation, remediation, removal, corrective action, containment, monitoring and/or other response action, as determined from the perspective of a reasonable business person acting (without regard to the availability of indemnification under this Article IX) to achieve compliance Environmental Laws, Environmental Permits or to meet the demands of any relevant Governmental Entity or as required by any judicial or administrative resolution, order or settlement of a claim to the extent consistent with the use of the relevant real property as of the Closing Date (it being understood that Commercially Reasonable Manner may include, where appropriate, the use of institutional or engineering controls, deed restrictions, land use restrictions, capping, or monitored natural attenuation (collectively, “Institutional Controls”)) so long as such Institutional Controls do not materially limit the use of the relevant property for activities ongoing as of the Closing, and so long as such Institutional Controls are acceptable to the Governmental Entities with jurisdiction over the matter.
89
(c) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have the option to retain exclusive control of the resolution of any Indemnified Environmental Matter, including, the exclusive control of any investigation, remediation, correction of noncompliance, contact, meeting and negotiation with any Governmental Entities and the prosecution, defense and resolution of any remediation activities or any claim. With respect to any Indemnified Environmental Matter controlled by Purchaser and its Affiliates, P&G shall have the right to (i) at its sole cost and expense, retain separate consultants and co-counsel, (ii) receive advance notice of and participate, at its sole cost and expense, in any material meetings or material negotiations with any Governmental Entities and (iii) at its sole cost and expense, review in advance and provide comments on any material documents proposed to be submitted to Governmental Entities, which comments will be considered in good faith. All information concerning the Indemnified Environmental Matters shared between the parties shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 5.17(b) as if such provisions applied to Indemnified Environmental Matters. Except to the extent prohibited by any applicable Law, if an applicable Law requires P&G or its Affiliates to disclose any such information, P&G agrees to notify the Purchaser Indemnitees as soon as possible under the circumstances of such requirement and, to the extent possible and not inconsistent with its own obligations to comply with applicable Laws, to give the Purchaser Indemnitees the opportunity to make such disclosure or to review and comment in advance on the content and timing of any disclosure P&G proposes to make.
(d) The procedures set forth in this Section 9.11 are in addition to the procedures set forth elsewhere in Article IX; provided that, with respect to Indemnified Environmental Matters, to the extent any provision of this Section 9.11 conflicts with any other provision in Article IX, this Section 9.11 shall govern and control.
SECTION 9.12. Procedures for Shared Pre-Closing Proceedings. (a) Purchaser shall control the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings relating to any Shared Pre-Closing Proceeding with counsel of its choice and not reasonably objected to by P&G; provided that to the extent practicable, Purchaser shall continue to use Fulbright & Xxxxxxxx LLP as defense counsel in the defense of any Shared Pre-Closing Proceeding asserting claims related to osteonecrosis of the jaw. To the extent Purchaser may do so under the terms of any Contract relating to the Products, Purchaser shall provide P&G the opportunity to participate in the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings of any such Shared Pre-Closing Proceeding, with counsel of P&G’s choice at P&G’s sole cost and expense.
(b) P&G shall use its reasonable best efforts to assert any claims for indemnification of the Shared Pre-Closing Proceeding Liabilities under applicable insurance policies, and the amounts actually recovered by P&G under such insurance policies (less the cost to collect the proceeds of such insurance) will be applied to reduce the total amount of Shared Pre-Closing Proceeding Liabilities shared between the Parties, or if P&G receives any such amounts after any Shared Pre-Closing Proceeding Liability has already been incurred, P&G shall promptly pay to Purchaser 50% of such amounts. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with P&G and provide to P&G and/or its insurance carriers information relating to the foregoing insurance claims. Purchaser acknowledges that P&G and its Affiliates have asserted claims against such insurance policies for matters unrelated to the Pharmaceuticals Business, that such policies may contain aggregate coverage limits that may limit the net recovery under any particular claim, and agrees that P&G shall not be required to prosecute claims in any particular order or to favor claims related to the Pharmaceuticals Business over claims that are not so related.

(c) The procedures set forth in this Section 9.12 are in addition to the procedures set forth elsewhere in Article IX; provided that, with respect to Shared Pre-Closing Proceeding Liabilities, to the extent any provision of this Section 9.12 conflicts with any other provision in Article IX, this Section 9.12 shall govern and control.

SECTION 10.05. Limitation on Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall either party be liable for punitive damages, if any, of the other party, or any consequential damages of the other party that are not reasonably foreseeable, in each case whether or not caused by or resulting from the actions of such party or the breach of its covenants, agreements, representations or warranties hereunder, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.05 shall preclude any recovery by an Indemnified Party against an Indemnifying Party for a Third Party Claim.
SECTION 10.06. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by each of the other parties hereto.
SECTION 10.07. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Transaction Documents constitute the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all other understandings and negotiations with respect thereto. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits), on the one hand, and the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement or the Transaction Documents (including the schedules and exhibits thereto), on the other hand, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
SECTION 10.08. Severability. In the event that any provision contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective as to such jurisdiction to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating or affecting the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 10.09. Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes arising under or related hereto (whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise) shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflicts of law principles.

The providers of the Purchaser’s Financing are third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.10.
SECTION 10.11. Service of Process. Each of the parties consents to service of any process, summons, notice or document by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to such party’s respective address set forth above.

Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or disputes relating hereto or thereto. Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other party hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.12.
SECTION 10.13. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by or on behalf of the party waiving compliance. No course of dealing between the parties shall be effective to amend or waive any provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.14. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
