At such point, Sellers shall be required to pay the full amount of such Losses; provided however, that Sellers shall have no indemnification obligation under Section 8.1(a)(i) with respect to clauses (i) and (v) of the definition of Excluded Environmental Liabilities and Section 8.1(a)(iii), except with respect to breaches of Sections 5.1, or 5.2, for Losses which in the aggregate are in excess of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000).

tax benefit, if any, attributable to such Loss. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Section 8.1 or 8.2 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

With respect to any Loss insured by the title insurance policy described in Section 4.2(d) hereof, the Purchaser Group shall use their Best Efforts to recover from its title insurer prior to seeking indemnification from the Seller Group.

Section 8.8. Other Limitations.

Section 8.10. Indemnification Procedures for Remedial Actions on Purchased Assets.

(a)

Sellers shall have the right but not the obligation to conduct and control the management of a Remedial Action that is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. Sellers must notify the Purchaser Group, within 30 days of receipt of notice of the Purchaser Group’s claim for indemnification for such matter, that (i) it intends to undertake said responsibility or (ii) that more information is needed from the Purchaser Group before Sellers can reasonably determine that the Purchaser Group’s claim is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. The Purchaser shall promptly respond to such requests for information (to the extent such information is reasonably available to the Purchaser Group) and, within 30 days of receipt of such information, Sellers shall notify the Purchaser Group as to whether it shall undertake the Remedial Action. Prior to a determination by Sellers that it will undertake a Remedial Action

pursuant to this Section 8.10, the Purchaser Group shall take only those actions necessary to comply with applicable Environmental Laws or address conditions that pose an imminent threat to the environment or public health (unless additional actions are approved by Sellers).

(b)

In undertaking a Remedial Action pursuant to this Section 8.10, Sellers shall retain a qualified independent environmental consultant, which consultant shall be subject to the Purchaser Group’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld). Sellers shall (i) undertake such Remedial Action to meet the Applicable Remedial Action Standards in a prompt and expeditious fashion, provided that Sellers may exercise its rights, including its due process right, to contest any requirement imposed or determination made by Governmental Authority with respect to the contemplated Remedial Action; and (ii) not cause, through its own inaction, any undue delay in obtaining written notice from the appropriate Governmental Authority that no further investigation or remediation is necessary with respect to the matter that is the subject of the indemnification claim to meet the Applicable Remedial Action Standards or, if no Governmental Authority is involved in such matter, a good faith determination from its environmental consultant that no further investigation or remediation is required to bring the applicable property into conformance with Applicable Remedial Action Standards. When a Governmental Authority is involved with a Remedial Action, the Sellers shall use its best efforts to obtain written notice from the appropriate Governmental Authority that no further investigation or remediation is necessary with respect to the matter that is the subject of the indemnification claim to meet the Applicable Remedial Action Standards. Sellers shall comply with all applicable Laws, including all applicable Environmental Laws and any other requirements that may be imposed by a Governmental Authority, pertaining to Sellers’ performance of Remedial Action pursuant to this Section 8.10; provided however, that Sellers reserve the right to contest or modify any requirements imposed by a Governmental Authority as provided for under applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits with respect to Sellers’ performance of a Remedial Action. Sellers shall provide copies to the Purchaser Group of all written notices, final submissions, final work plans, and final reports and shall give the Purchaser Group a reasonable opportunity given the circumstances (at the Purchaser Group’s own expense) to comment on any submissions Sellers intends to deliver or submit to the appropriate Governmental Authority prior to said submission. The Purchaser Group may, at its own expense, hire its own consultants, attorneys or other professionals to monitor the Remedial Action, including any field work undertaken by Sellers, and the Purchaser Group shall provide Sellers with the results of all such monitoring. Notwithstanding the above, the Purchaser Group shall not take any actions that shall unreasonably interfere with, or unreasonably delay, Sellers performance of the Remedial Action. Sellers shall undertake any such work required herein in a manner designed to minimize any disruption, to the greatest extent possible, with the conduct of operations at the assets. The Purchaser Group shall allow Sellers reasonable access to conduct any of the work contemplated herein and shall cooperate with Sellers in the performance of the Remedial Action, including

providing Sellers with reasonable access to employees and documents as necessary.

(c)

If Sellers decline to undertake the performance of a Remedial Action as provided in Section 8.10, the Purchaser Group shall be entitled to undertake the Remedial Action to meet the Applicable Remedial Action Standards. The Purchaser Group shall retain a qualified independent environmental consultant, which consultant shall be subject to Sellers’ approval (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld, however, if there should be a conflict of interest as a result of the Purchaser Group’s choice of environmental consultant, then the Sellers will use their best efforts to clear any such conflicts if possible and if any conflicts can not be cleared then the Purchaser Group will retain another independent environmental consultant). The Purchaser Group shall promptly provide copies to Sellers of all notices, correspondence, draft reports, submissions, work plans, and final reports and shall give Sellers a reasonable opportunity (at Sellers’ own expense) to comment on any submissions the Purchaser Group intends to deliver or submit to any appropriate Governmental Authority prior to said submission. Sellers may, at its own expense, hire its own consultants, attorneys or other professionals to monitor the Remedial Action, including any field work undertaken by the Purchaser Group, and the Purchaser Group shall provide to Sellers the results of all such field work. Notwithstanding the above, Sellers shall not take any actions that shall unreasonably interfere with, or unreasonably delay, the Purchaser Group’s performance of the Remedial Action. Sellers’ decision to not to undertake Remedial Action hereunder shall not limit or affect Sellers’ obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Group for said Remedial Action to the Applicable Remedial Action Standards as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Section 8.11. Limitation on Indemnification for Third Party Claims for Remedial Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers’ indemnification obligations under Section 8.1(a) hereof in respect of subsection (i) of the definition of Excluded Environmental Liabilities are subject to the provisions of this Section 8.11. Sellers shall be responsible for the cost of such Remedial Action only to the extent necessary to meet the Applicable Remedial Action Standard and any other requirements that may be imposed by a Governmental Authority pertaining to Sellers’ performance of a Remedial Action pursuant to Section 8.10. Sellers shall not be responsible for those costs incurred in connection with a Remedial Action to the extent such costs arise from or are exacerbated by actions of the Purchaser Group, including the initiation of Remedial Action by the Purchaser Group or at the request of a third party in the absence of a requirement of Environmental Law after the Closing Date, except for those actions that are necessary to address conditions that pose an imminent threat to the environment or public health. Sellers shall not be responsible for those costs incurred in connection with a Remedial Action to the extent such costs are caused by: (i) a Release of Hazardous Substances in connection with the Purchaser Group’s operation of the Purchased Assets, or (ii) the Purchaser Group’s negligent, knowing or reckless action resulting in the exacerbation of environmental conditions otherwise subject to the indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) the Purchaser Group’s initiation of Remedial Action in the absence of a requirement of Environmental Law.

Section 8.12. No Consequential Damages. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO FOR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR FOR DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOST PROFITS THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OR ANY LIABILITY RETAINED OR ASSUMED HEREUNDER.

No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 10.4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Schedules and Exhibits hereto) and the other Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, other than any written agreement of the parties that expressly provides that it is not superseded by the Transaction Agreements. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the other Transaction Agreements, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail.

Section 10.5. Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of any party to any other party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled by an Affiliate of such party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such party.

Section 10.6. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Purchaser Group, Sellers, or their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.7. Public Disclosure. On or prior to the Closing, the parties agree to obtain the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, before issuing any press release or making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the

Section 10.8. Return of Information. If for any reason whatsoever the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements are not consummated, ABS shall promptly return to Pfizer all books and records furnished by any Seller or any of its respective Affiliates, agents, employees, or representatives (including all copies, summaries and abstracts, if any, thereof) in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. After the Closing, the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall be of no effect with respect to any information provided regarding the Purchased Assets.

Section 10.10. Schedules; Supplemental Disclosure. The disclosure of any matter in any one Schedule shall be deemed to be a disclosure for all purposes of this Agreement, but shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by Pfizer, the Selling LLC, the Purchasing Entity or ABS, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement.

If between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, either party becomes aware of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a breach of any of its representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement, or if either party becomes aware of the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition, then such party will promptly deliver to the other party, prior to the Closing Date, a supplement to the Schedules to this Agreement specifying such fact or condition. During the same period, each party will promptly notify the other party of the occurrence of any breach of any of its covenants or of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article IV of this Agreement impossible or unlikely. Any such disclosure by a party shall be deemed to cure any breach of the applicable representations,

warranties or covenants made under this Agreement and the other party shall have no claim under this Agreement on the basis of such disclosure(s) except as set forth in the following paragraphs.
