(a) Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, (i) Seller shall cause Asset Transferring Affiliate to execute and deliver a general bill of sale, assignment and assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “General Assignment and Assumption”), such other instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer as Buyer reasonably requests (the “Additional Assignments”), in each case to convey to Buyer Israeli Subsidiary all of Asset Transferring Affiliate’s right, 23 title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Assets, and counterparts to any applicable Additional Assumptions, and (ii) Buyer Israeli Subsidiary shall execute and deliver the General Assignment and Assumption, such other agreements and instruments as Seller reasonably requests (the “Additional Assumptions”), whereby Buyer Israeli Subsidiary agrees to assume and undertakes to pay, perform and discharge as and when due the Assumed Israel Asset Liabilities, and counterparts to any applicable Additional Assignments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates is purchasing, pursuant to this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements or any of the Transactions, Seller’s (or any of its Affiliates’) right, title or interest in, to or under any assets of Seller or its Affiliates that are not Transferred Shares or Transferred Assets (the “Excluded Assets”). For clarity, it is understood and agreed that any IP Rights owned by Asset Transferring Affiliate, including as may be embodied in or necessary for the use of the Transferred Assets, are Excluded Assets. All risk of loss with respect to the Transferred Assets (whether or not covered by insurance) shall be on Seller up to the time of the Closing, whereupon such risk of loss with respect to the Transferred Assets conveyed at the Closing shall pass to Buyer Israeli Subsidiary. After the Closing, Buyer Israeli Subsidiary shall pay all Assumed Israel Asset Liabilities as and when such liabilities become due. Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for the performance by Xxxxxx (or any of its Affiliates) of any Assumed Israel Asset Liability the performance of which by, or on behalf of, Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer) is not accepted by the obligee in the exercise of such obligee’s lawful rights. (b) Buyer Designee. Prior to, and in any event at least 15 days in advance of, the Closing, Buyer may designate, with the consent of Seller, Buyer Israeli Subsidiary to, at the Closing, pay a designated portion of the Estimated Upfront Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.05 related to the Transferred Assets; provided, however, that no such designation will in any event limit or affect the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement to the extent not performed by Buyer Israeli Subsidiary. (c) Transferred Assets Subject to Third-Party Consents. To the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery to Buyer Israeli Subsidiary of any Transferred Asset is prohibited by any applicable Law or would require any governmental or third party authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers and such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, thereof. For a period of eighteen months after the Closing Date, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers; provided, however, that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay any consideration or make any concession therefor. If such authorization, approval, consent or waiver is obtained, Seller shall cause Asset Transferring Affiliate to assign, transfer, convey or deliver any such Transferred Asset to Buyer Israeli Subsidiary at no additional cost. If such authorization, approval, consent or waiver is not obtained, Seller will be deemed to have fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement and under no circumstances shall the Purchase Price be reduced or Seller or its Affiliates be subject to any liability on account of the failure to obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver. Pending the earlier of obtaining such authorization, approval, consent or waiver or the expiration of such eighteen-month period,
24 the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Buyer Israeli Subsidiary the benefits of use of any such Transferred Asset. Buyer and Buyer Israeli Subsidiary further agree that no representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition to Buyer’s or Buyer Israeli Subsidiary’s obligations to close the Transactions shall be deemed not satisfied as a result of (A) the failure to obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver; or (B) any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any authorization, approval, consent or waiver. Section 2.04. Purchase Price. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Upfront Purchase Price” means an amount equal to: (i) $275,000,000.00, (ii) plus Closing Cash, (iii) minus Closing Indebtedness, (iv) minus Seller Transaction Expenses, (v) plus, in the event Closing Working Capital exceeds $100,000 more than the Target Working Capital, the amount of such excess, (vi) minus, in the event Closing Working Capital is less than $100,000 less than the Target Working Capital, the amount of such shortfall, and (vii) plus the Closing Loan Receivables Amount. (b) At least two business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the Upfront Purchase Price (the “Estimated Upfront Purchase Price”), together with reasonable supporting detail as to each of the calculations contained in the Estimated Upfront Purchase Price, including estimated Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses, Closing Working Capital and Closing Loan Receivables Amount, each of which shall have been calculated, as applicable, in accordance with the Accounting Principles. (c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller (or one or more of its Affiliates as Seller may designate), in immediately available funds by wire transfer to one or more bank accounts designated in writing by Seller at least two business days prior to the Closing Date, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Estimated Upfront Purchase Price plus (ii) if payable at Closing pursuant to Section 2.09, the Milestone Payment. Buyer shall not be entitled to deduct from the Estimated Upfront Purchase Price or, if applicable, the Milestone Payment any Transfer Taxes, which shall be borne by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.07. (d) The Estimated Upfront Purchase Price shall be subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 2.05. Section 2.05. Upfront Purchase Price Adjustment 25 (a) Closing Statement. Buyer shall have 90 days after the Closing Date to prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Upfront Purchase Price, together with reasonable supporting detail as to each of the calculations contained therein, including Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses, Closing Working Capital and Closing Loan Receivables Amount (collectively, the “Closing Statement”). If Buyer fails to deliver a Closing Statement within such 90-day period, the Estimated Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the parties hereto. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Upfront Purchase Price adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.05 is intended to show the change in Working Capital from the Target Working Capital to the Closing Working Capital and accurately reflect the amount of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses and Closing Loan Receivables Amount, and each of Seller and Buyer agrees that the calculations of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses and Closing Loan Receivables Amount, absent manifest error, shall be performed in the same way, using the same accounting methods, judgments, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications and estimation methodologies as used to calculate estimates of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses and Closing Loan Receivables Amount, respectively, under Section 2.04(b) and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the Accounting Principles. (b) Objections; Resolution of Disputes. (i) Unless Seller notifies Buyer in writing within 60 days (such 60-day period, as may be extended pursuant to the following sentence of this Section 2.05(b)(i), the “Objection Period”) after Xxxxx’s delivery of the Closing Statement of any objection to the computation of the Upfront Purchase Price, or any component thereof, set forth therein (a “Notice of Objection”), the Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the parties. Following the delivery of the Closing Statement until the final resolution of the calculation of the Upfront Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 2.05, Buyer shall permit Seller and its representatives to review the working papers of Buyer and its accountants relating to the Closing Statement and, at Seller’s request, shall provide Seller and its representatives (A) any information relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement reasonably requested and (B) reasonable access during normal business hours to the personnel, properties, books and records of and relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement (including any taking and preparing of physical counts of Inventory); provided, however, that if Buyer does not promptly provide Seller and its representatives with access to any of the foregoing, then the Objection Period shall be deemed to be extended by the number of days between the date of Seller’s request for such information or access and the date that Buyer provides all of such requested information or access. Any Notice of Objection shall specify the basis for the objections set forth therein. (ii) If Seller provides the Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Objection Period, Buyer and Seller shall, during the 30-day period following Xxxxx’s receipt of the Notice of Objection (such 30-day period, the “Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve Seller’s objections. If Xxxxx and Seller are unable to resolve all such objections within the Resolution Period, the matters remaining in dispute shall be submitted to Deloitte LLP or one of its Affiliates (or, if such firm declines or is unable to 26 act, to another nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Xxxxx and Seller (such agreed firm being the “Independent Expert”)). The Independent Expert shall be engaged pursuant to an engagement letter among Buyer, Xxxxxx and the Independent Expert. The Independent Expert shall be instructed, pursuant to such engagement letter, to resolve only those matters set forth in the Notice of Objection remaining in dispute (the “Disputed Items”) and not to otherwise investigate any matter independently. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Independent Expert is not authorized or permitted to make any determination as to the accuracy of Section 3.06 or any other representation or warranty in this Agreement or as to compliance by Seller or any of its Affiliates with any of the covenants in this Agreement (other than this Section 2.05). The Independent Expert shall act as an expert, not as an arbitrator, in resolving the Disputed Items. Xxxxx and Seller each agree to furnish to the Independent Expert access to such individuals and such information, books and records as may be reasonably required by the Independent Expert to make its final determination. Buyer and Seller shall each have an opportunity to submit to the Independent Expert a written report in support of its position, and a written rebuttal of the other party’s supporting report, with respect to the Disputed Items. Buyer and Seller shall also instruct the Independent Expert to render its reasoned written decision with respect to each Disputed Item (together with a calculation of the Upfront Purchase Price based on its decision with respect to each Disputed Item) as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 30 days from the date that the written rebuttals were required to be submitted to the Independent Expert. With respect to each of the Disputed Items, such decision, if not in agreement with the position of either Buyer or Seller, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts submitted by Buyer in the Closing Statement or Seller in the Notice of Objection with respect to such Disputed Item. The resolution of Disputed Items by the Independent Expert shall be final and binding on the parties, except in the case of manifest error, and the determination of the Independent 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 Expert shall be borne equally by Xxxxx and Seller. After the final determination of the Upfront Purchase Price, Buyer shall have no further right to make any claims against Seller or any of its Affiliates in respect of any element of the Upfront Purchase Price or any payment made pursuant to Section 2.05(c). (iii) The procedures set forth in this Section 2.05 shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any disputes with respect to the computation of the Upfront Purchase Price. Xxxxx and Seller acknowledge and agree that the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 11.09 shall not apply to any dispute described in this Section 2.05. (c) Adjustment Payment. Within fifteen business days after the Upfront Purchase Price has been finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.05 (the “Final Upfront Purchase Price”), (i) if the Estimated Upfront Purchase Price is less than the Final Upfront Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller such shortfall, and (ii) if the Estimated Upfront Purchase Price is greater than the Final Upfront Purchase Price, Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Buyer such excess. Any payment hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more bank accounts designated in 27 writing by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be (such designation to be made at least two business days prior to the date on which such payment is due). (d) Post-Closing Books and Records. On the Closing Date, Xxxxx shall conduct the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business, and following the Closing, Buyer shall not take any action with respect to the accounting books and records of the Transferred Company on which the Closing Statement is to be based that would affect the Closing Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no changes shall be made in any reserve or other account existing as of the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date, except as a result of events occurring after the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date and, in such event, only in the Ordinary Course of Business. Section 2.06. Allocation of Purchase Price. (a) For Income Tax purposes, Buyer and Seller shall prior to the Closing Date mutually agree on an allocation of the Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional consideration for Income Tax purposes (the “Allocation”) among (i) the Transferred Shares and (ii) the Transferred Assets. Within twenty (20) days of the date of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver a draft of the Allocation (the “Proposed Overall Allocation”) to Buyer. The Proposed Overall Allocation shall not include the Milestone Payment. If Buyer disagrees with the Proposed Overall Allocation, Buyer shall deliver a notice (“Buyer’s Overall Allocation Notice”) to Seller within ten (10) days of receipt of the Proposed Overall Allocation specifying the amount Buyer contends should be allocated to each of the three items above and the reason(s) for such disagreement, and Xxxxx’s proposed alternative allocation. Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the overall allocation under this Section 2.06. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach an agreement within ten (10) days after Xxxxxx’s receipt of Buyer’s Overall Allocation Notice, the matters remaining in dispute shall be submitted to an Independent Expert to be engaged pursuant to an engagement letter among Buyer, Seller and the Independent Expert, with the costs of such Independent Expert to be split equally by Xxxxx and Seller. Buyer and Seller shall each request that the Independent Expert make a final determination as to the disputed items within ten (10) days after such submission, with the Independent Expert acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator. (b) Together with the Proposed Overall Allocation, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a proposed allocation of the portion of the Purchase Price (including other amounts treated as consideration for Income Tax purposes, but excluding any Milestone Payment) allocated to the Transferred Assets under Section 2.06(a) among the Transferred Assets in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Seller’s Draft Allocation”). If Buyer disagrees with the Seller’s Draft Allocation, Buyer shall deliver a notice (the “Buyer’s Allocation Notice”) to Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Seller’s Draft Allocation specifying the items as to which Buyer disagrees with the Seller’s Draft Allocation, the reasons for such disagreement, and Xxxxx’s proposed allocation of the portion of the Purchase Price among the Transferred Assets. Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation under this Section 2.06(b). If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach an agreement within ten (10) days from Seller’s receipt of the Buyer’s Allocation Notice, the matters remaining in dispute shall be submitted to an Independent Expert to be engaged pursuant to an engagement letter among Buyer, Seller and the Independent Expert, with the costs of such
28 Independent Expert to be split equally by Xxxxx and Seller. Buyer and Seller shall each request that the Independent Expert make a final determination as to the disputed items within ten (10) days after such submission, with the Independent Expert acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator. If Xxxxx does not deliver the Buyer’s Allocation Notice within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the Seller’s Draft Allocation, Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed to the Seller’s Draft Allocation and the Seller’s Draft Allocation shall be part of the Allocation. (c) The Allocation shall be adjusted, as necessary, to reflect any subsequent payments treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price or such other items pursuant to Section 2.05 or otherwise; provided that any Milestone Payment made pursuant to Section 2.09 shall be allocated exclusively to the Transferred Shares. (d) Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar or corresponding provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law), each of Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, file all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) in a manner consistent with the Allocation (including any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.06(c)) and shall not take, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to take, any position inconsistent with such Allocation on any Tax Return, in connection with any Tax Proceeding or otherwise. If the Allocation (including any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.06(c)) is disputed by any Taxing Authority, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other party hereto, and both Seller and Buyer agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to defend such Allocation in any audit or similar proceeding. Section 2.07. Transfer Taxes and Other Costs. (a) All Transfer Taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Transferred Shares and Transferred Assets to Buyer or its Affiliates and the Transactions shall be borne and paid solely by Buyer when due in compliance with applicable Transfer Tax Laws; provided, however, that if Seller determines (in accordance with Section 2.07(f)) that it is required by applicable Law to pay any Transfer Taxes, then Seller shall pay such Transfer Taxes, and Buyer shall, subject to receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of Seller’s payment thereof, promptly reimburse Seller in U.S. dollars, whether or not such Transfer Taxes were correctly or legally imposed by the applicable Governmental Entity. (b) Any Israeli VAT imposed in connection with the purchase of any Transferred Assets or the assumption of any Assumed Israel Asset Liability by Buyer Israeli Subsidiary from Asset Transferring Affiliate shall be added to the applicable portion of the Purchase Price payable under this Agreement in respect of such Transferred Assets and Assumed Israel Asset Liabilities. Buyer Israeli Subsidiary shall pay any such Israeli VAT upon receipt of a valid Israeli VAT invoice in accordance with the Israeli VAT Law (the “Israeli VAT Invoice”). Seller shall cause Asset Transferring Affiliate to remit to the ITA the amount of Israeli VAT paid by Buyer Israeli Subsidiary to Asset Transferring Affiliate in accordance with the Israeli VAT Law. If any portion of the Purchase Price with respect to any Transferred Assets or the assumption of any Assumed Israel Asset Liability from Asset Transferring Affiliate is increased as a result of any claim by the ITA after the Closing Date or for any other reason, then Seller shall cause Asset Transferring Affiliate to issue to Buyer Israeli Subsidiary an updated Israeli VAT Invoice and thereafter Buyer Israeli Subsidiary 29 shall promptly pay the increased amount of Israeli VAT to Asset Transferring Affiliate as set forth in the updated Israeli VAT Invoice so received. (c) Each of Seller and Buyer shall timely file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed by it with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. (d) The determination of whether any exemption from (or reduction in) Transfer Taxes is available with respect to the consummation of the Transactions shall be made in accordance with Section 2.07(f). Seller shall take into account any duly completed exemption certificates delivered to it by Buyer no later than ten (10) calendar days prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall use commercially reasonably efforts to cooperate with Buyer to reduce the amount of Transfer Taxes or to obtain a recovery, in whole or in part, of any Transfer Taxes, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable Law. (e) All costs and expenses associated with removing and moving any Transferred Asset to a location designated by Buyer shall be borne and paid solely by Buyer when due; provided, however, that if any such amount shall be incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates, Buyer shall, subject to receipt of satisfactory evidence of the payment thereof by Seller or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, promptly reimburse Seller or such Affiliate. (f) Seller and Buyer agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Taxing Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Tax. The determination of whether any exemption from (or reduction in) Transfer Taxes is available with respect to the consummation of the Acquisition shall be reasonably determined by Seller in good faith after having reasonably consulted with Xxxxx and taking into account any reasonable comments made by Xxxxx as part of such consultation. In making such determination, Seller and Buyer shall take into account any duly completed exemption certificates delivered to Seller from Buyer no later than ten (10) calendar days prior to the Closing Date. Section 2.08. Withholding Taxes. (a) Each party is permitted to withhold all amounts required to be withheld or deducted on account of Tax under applicable Law (including the Ordinance) in respect of any payments hereunder, provided that the parties hereto agree that, if Asset Transferring Affiliate has furnished Buyer or Buyer Israeli Subsidiary a Valid Withholding Certificate, then the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Withholding Certificate. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Schedule 2.08(a) is, as of the date of this Agreement, a Valid Withholding Certificate of Asset Transferring Affiliate, provides for an exemption from Israeli withholding Taxes for all payment hereunder to be made to Asset Transferring Affiliate, and remains valid until March 31, 2024. In accordance with the foregoing, unless the certificate attached hereto as Schedule 2.08(a) has (i) expired by its terms and not been replaced by an equivalent certificate with an extended expiration date or (ii) been revoked by the ITA before the payment date, no withholding of Israeli Taxes is required, and no such withholding shall be made by Buyer or Buyer Israeli Subsidiary, in respect of any payment for the Transferred Assets. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Seller a schedule of expected withholding amounts with 30 written explanations for each timely before the Closing so as to permit Seller and Asset Transferring Affiliate to take all legally available actions to reduce or eliminate any such withholding. Buyer shall timely remit any amounts withheld and deducted hereunder to the applicable Taxing Authority and promptly furnish to Seller evidence of such remittance and shall notify Seller of any withholding required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) at least ten (10) calendar days after making the payment in respect of which such withholding was made. Each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other to reduce the amount of withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable hereunder, including by executing and filing any forms or certificates reasonably required to claim an available reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding Taxes. All amounts withheld in accordance with this Section 2.08(a) shall be treated as having been paid to Seller or Asset Transferring Affiliate, as applicable. (b) Any withholding made hereunder in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) with respect to payments made hereunder in U.S. dollars, shall be calculated based on the representative U.S. dollar-NIS exchange rate last published by the Bank of Israel and known on the date the payment is actually made to the applicable payee. Any applicable currency conversion commissions will be borne by Xxxxx. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts to be received by Seller hereunder are to be made in U.S. dollars and in the amount specified herein. Section 2.09. Milestone Payment. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the “Milestone Payment” means $5,000,000, (ii) the “Milestone Product” means the Transferred Company’s AERA Eustachian Tube Dilation System and (iii) “Milestone Event” means FDA 510(k) clearance of the Milestone Product’s expanded indication for patients ages 8-17 years, alone or in combination with adjunctive procedures, intended to treat patients with objective signs of persistent obstructive Eustachian Tube dysfunction from inflammatory pathology, resulting in chronic otitis media with effusion and are refractory to at least one surgical intervention. (b) If the Milestone Event occurs prior to Closing and prior to March 31, 2024, (i) Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of the achievement of the Milestone Event and (ii) Buyer shall pay to Seller the Milestone Payment pursuant to Section 2.09(e). (c) If the Milestone Event shall not have occurred prior to Closing but the Closing occurs prior to March 31, 2024: (i) Until the earlier of (A) the achievement of the Milestone Event and (B) March 31, 2024, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use Buyer Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the Milestone Event. For purposes hereof, “Buyer Commercially Reasonable Efforts” means a level of efforts and resources consistent with the efforts and resources that Buyer and its Affiliates have historically used to obtain FDA 510(k) clearance for products which were at a similar stage in development and had a similar market potential as the Milestone Product; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such level of efforts and resources shall be determined without taking into account the Milestone Payment payable in accordance with, and subject to, the terms hereof. 31 (ii) If the Milestone Event shall occur after the Closing but prior to March 31, 2024, (A) Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of the achievement of the Milestone Event in writing and (B) Buyer shall pay to Seller the Milestone Payment pursuant to Section 2.09(e). (d) If the Milestone Event shall not have occurred prior to March 31, 2024, then the Milestone Payment shall not become due and Buyer shall have no liability or obligation to pay the Milestone Payment or any portion thereof. (e) If the Milestone Event occurs in accordance with either of Section 2.09(b) or Section 2.09(c)(ii), then Buyer shall pay to Seller the Milestone Payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more bank accounts designated in writing by Seller (such designation to be made at least two (2) business days prior to the date on which the Milestone Payment is due), within thirty (30) days after the date upon which the Milestone Event occurs; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be required to pay to Seller the Milestone Payment prior to the later to occur of (x) March 31, 2024 and (y) the Closing Date. (f) Buyer may not setoff any of the Milestone Payment against any other amount that may be due to Buyer or any of the Buyer Indemnitees. Section 2.10. Delivery by Seller.

Neither Seller, on the one hand, nor Buyer, on the other hand, may (or may permit any of their respective Affiliates to), without the written consent of the other party, (A) cause any such filing or submission applicable to it to be withdrawn or refiled for any reason, including to provide the applicable Governmental Entity with additional time to review any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (B) consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer will pay all filing fees to any Governmental Entity in order to obtain any such authorizations, consents, orders, waivers or approvals referenced in this Section 6.05(a). (b) Without limiting the generality of Buyer’s undertaking pursuant to Section 6.05(a), Xxxxx agrees to use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause its Affiliates to use their respective reasonable best efforts (and to take any and all steps necessary or advisable to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any antitrust or competition Governmental Entity or any other Person) so as to enable the parties to close the Transactions as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the Outside Date, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of such of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant hereto, terminating any existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations, and the entrance into such other arrangements as are necessary or advisable in order to avoid the entry of, and the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any action, suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of 67 the Transactions. In addition, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause its Affiliates to use their respective reasonable best efforts, to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that such litigation in no way limits the obligation of Buyer to use its reasonable best efforts, or to cause its Affiliates to use their respective reasonable best efforts (and to take any and all steps necessary to eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law) to close the Transactions prior to the Outside Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxx’s obligations under this Section 6.05(b) shall be absolute and shall not be qualified or limited by what may be considered commercially reasonable or any efforts standard. (c) Subject to applicable Law, Buyer and Seller shall promptly notify the other party of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Section 6.05 and permit such other party to review in advance any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Entity. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall (or shall permit any of their respective Affiliates to) agree to participate in any communication with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of the investigation), litigation or other inquiry relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, unless such party consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such communication. Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Buyer and Seller shall promptly provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their representatives or Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Section 6.05; provided that such materials may be redacted (i) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements and (ii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns, to the extent that such attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns are not governed by a common interest privilege or doctrine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.05(c) shall not apply to any correspondence, filings or communications between Seller or any of its representatives or Affiliates, on the one hand, and the IIA or members of its staff, on the other hand, and (B) no party shall be required to provide the other party any information that it reasonably considers to be competitively sensitive; provided that, in such circumstance, the disclosing party shall provide the information to the receiving party’s external legal counsel on an “external counsel only basis” (prior to doing so, the disclosing party may seek an assurance from the receiving party’s external legal counsel that it will not provide such information to the receiving party) and, where reasonably practicable, shall provide a redacted version to the receiving party. Buyer shall, after consultation with Seller and consideration of Seller’s views in good faith, have principal responsibility for directing, devising, and implementing the strategy (I) for obtaining any necessary approval of, for responding to any request from, inquiry by, or investigation by (including directing the timing, nature, and substance of all such filings or responses), for the determination of any actions to be taken under this Section
68 6.05 with respect to, and for leading all meetings and communications with, any Governmental Entity that has authority to enforce any antitrust Law; and (II) with respect to any litigation by any Person or Governmental Entity, or, any action asserted by any Person in any court or before any other Governmental Entity, against Buyer and including in any appeal thereof; provided that the foregoing shall in no event limit Buyer’s obligations under this Section 6.05. (d) Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any transaction, or any contract or other agreement, whether oral or written, to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that would reasonably be expected to make it more difficult, or to increase the time required, to: (i) obtain any Antitrust Approvals; (ii) avoid the entry of, the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order that would materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transactions; or (iii) obtain any other authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of Governmental Entities necessary for the consummation of the Transactions. (e) Within fifteen (15) business days of the date of this Agreement, Seller shall cause Asset Transferring Affiliate to submit an application with the IIA seeking the IIA Approval (the “IIA Application”). Seller shall, and shall cause Asset Transferring Affiliate to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) promptly obtain the IIA Approval and (ii) keep Buyer reasonably apprised with respect to the progress of the IIA Application and the IIA Approval. Prior to the Closing, Seller or one of its Affiliates shall pay in full all IIA Fees required to be paid in connection with the IIA Approval. Section 6.06. Access. Seller shall, and shall cause the Transferred Company to, give Buyer and its accountants, legal counsel and other representatives reasonable access (including the right to make, at Buyer’s expense, photocopies), for the purpose of allowing Buyer to successfully transition the Business, upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours and without undue interruption to Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Company) throughout the period prior to the Closing, to the properties, books and records (including Form I-9s, offer letters and restrictive covenant agreements for U.S. Transferred Employees) of the Transferred Company and Asset Transferring Affiliate, to the extent related to the Transferred Assets, and will furnish, at Buyer’s expense, Buyer, its accountants, legal counsel and other representatives during such period such information to the extent relating to the Transferred Company or the Transferred Assets as Buyer may reasonably request and Seller shall reasonably determine is required for Buyer to successfully transition the Business (other than, in each case, (a) attorney-client privileged communications, (b) books, records and information of, or to the extent related to, Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Company and, solely with respect to the Transferred Assets, Asset Transferring Affiliate) or their respective businesses, (c) any information which constitutes Trade Secrets, sensitive information, or that could otherwise cause significant competitive harm to the Transferred Company or the Business if the Transactions are not consummated or (d) for the avoidance of doubt, where access to such books, records or information is prohibited by applicable Laws); provided that (i) this Section 6.06 shall not entitle Buyer or its accountants, legal counsel or other representatives to contact any third party doing business with the Transferred Company or access the properties, books or records of any such third party, in each case without Seller’s prior written consent and (ii) in the case of any conflict between this 69 Section 6.06 and Section 8.01, Section 8.01 shall prevail and Seller shall not be required to provide any employment-related information any earlier than as provided in Section 8.01. Buyer will hold in confidence all information so obtained in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. Section 6.07. Intercompany Accounts and Indebtedness. Except as otherwise provided herein, all intercompany accounts relating to corporate (rather than commercial) relationships or services as of the Closing Date between Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Company), on the one hand, and the Transferred Company, on the other hand, shall be settled in full or, at the option of Seller, but only to the extent permitted by Law, cancelled, in each case on or prior to the Closing Date. Section 6.08. Services from Affiliates. Xxxxx acknowledges that the Transferred Company currently receives or benefits from the Shared Services. Other than as may be provided pursuant to the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, Buyer further acknowledges that all such Shared Services shall cease, and any agreement in respect thereof shall terminate with respect to the Transferred Company as of the Closing Date, and thereafter, Seller’s and its Affiliates’ sole obligation with respect to the provision of any services with respect to the Transferred Company shall be as set forth in the Ancillary Agreements. From and after the Closing, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Company) shall have no liabilities or obligations with respect to any Shared Services, except to the extent provided for in the Ancillary Agreements. Section 6.09. Asset Transfer. (a) Seller shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, (i) transfer, assign and deliver to the Transferred Company prior to the Closing all of Seller’s and its Affiliates’ right, title and interest in, to and under (A) the assets set forth on Schedule 6.09(a) and (B) each Transferred Commingled Contract to the extent related to the Business, and (ii) transfer the employment of any U.S. Employees of the Business not employed by the Transferred Company to the Transferred Company prior to the Closing. In connection therewith, the Transferred Company shall assume, and undertake to pay, perform and discharge as and when due, all Assumed Pre-Closing Contract Liabilities. After the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Transferred Company to pay all Assumed Pre-Closing Contract Liabilities as and when due and promptly reimburse Seller for the performance by Seller (or any of its Affiliates) of any Assumed Pre-Closing Contract Liabilities the performance of which by, or on behalf of, the Transferred Company is not accepted by the obligee in the exercise of such obligee’s lawful rights. (b) Each Contract set forth on Schedule 6.09(b)(i) that, pursuant to its terms, permits Seller or its Affiliates to assign to the Transferred Company the rights of Seller or its Affiliates under such Contract (to the extent related to the Business) without the consent of any counterparty thereto is referred to as a “Transferred Commingled Contract”. With respect to each Contract set forth on Schedule 6.09(b)(ii), during the period from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the applicable counterparty thereto to the assignment to the Transferred Company of the rights of Seller or its Affiliates under such Contract (to the extent related to the Business) pursuant to Section 6.09(a); provided, however, that (i) neither Seller nor any 70 of its Affiliates shall be required to pay any consideration or make any concession for any such consent and (ii) under no circumstances shall the Purchase Price be reduced or Seller or its Affiliates be subject to any liability on account of the failure to obtain any such consent. If such consent is obtained for any Contract set forth on Schedule 6.09(b)(ii) prior to the Closing Date, such Contract shall be deemed to be a Transferred Commingled Contract. If such consent is not obtained for any Contract set forth on Schedule 6.09(b)(ii) prior to the Closing Date, then (A) for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer, as Buyer reasonably requests, in Buyer’s negotiation of a replacement agreement therefor with the applicable counterparties thereto (provided, however, that (1) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay any consideration or make any concession therefor and (2) under no circumstances shall the Purchase Price be reduced or Seller or its Affiliates be subject to any liability on account of the failure to obtain any such replacement) and (B) for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (or, if earlier, until Buyer obtains a replacement arrangement therefor), the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements (that do not breach the relevant Contract) designed to provide the Transferred Company the applicable benefits of use of such Contract (provided, however, that (1) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay any consideration or make any concession therefor and Buyer shall bear any relevant costs and expenses and other obligations of the foregoing and (2) Seller’s obligations pursuant to this sentence shall only apply for so long as Buyer is making a good faith effort to procure such replacement arrangements). Buyer and Buyer Israeli Subsidiary further agree that no representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition to Buyer’s or Buyer Israeli Subsidiary’s obligations to close the Transactions shall be deemed not satisfied as a result of (x) the failure to obtain any such consent or replacement; or (y) any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consent or replacement. (c) For purposes of Article III, the representations and warranties of Seller shall be deemed to be made as though the assets set forth on Schedule 6.09(a) and Schedule 6.09(b) and the employees that are the subject of Section 6.09(a)(ii) were transferred as of the date of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6.09. Specifically, for purposes of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 3.11, each Transferred Commingled Contract shall be deemed to be a Material Contract. Section 6.10. Seller Retained Materials. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Xxxxx acknowledges and agrees that all of the following shall remain the property of Seller, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Company) shall have any interest therein: (a) all records and reports prepared or received by Seller, any of its Affiliates or representatives in connection with the sale of the Transferred Company and the Transactions, including all analyses relating to the Transferred Company or Buyer or its Affiliates so prepared or received and (b) all confidentiality agreements with prospective purchasers of the Transferred Company or any portion thereof (provided that the rights to enforce all confidentiality and non-use provisions, to the extent related to the Transferred Company or the Transferred Assets, under such confidentiality agreements shall be assigned in relevant part to Buyer effective as of the Closing pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G; provided, further, 71 that copies of all such confidentiality agreements with prospective purchasers of the Transferred Company will be provided to Buyer promptly following the Closing), and all bids, expressions of interest and related materials received from third parties with respect thereto. In addition, Seller shall have the right to retain copies of the documents, materials and data relating to the conduct of the Business or the Transferred Assets prior to the Closing Date. Section 6.11. Release. Each of Buyer and Buyer Israeli Subsidiary, on its own behalf and, to the extent of its legal authority, on behalf of its current and future Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Transferred Company, and Buyer’s, Buyer Israeli Subsidiary’s and such Affiliates’ respective successors, assigns, executors and any other Person claiming by, through or under any of the foregoing (each, a “Buyer Releasing Party”), does hereby unconditionally and irrevocably release, waive and forever discharge, effective as of the Closing, Seller and Seller’s past, present and future directors, officers, managers, employees, agents and other representatives, predecessors, direct and indirect stockholders or members, partners, insurers and Affiliates (and each director, officer, manager, employee, agent and other representative, predecessor, direct and indirect stockholder or member, partner, insurer and Affiliate of each of them), and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”), from any and all losses, costs, expenses, claims, demands, Damages, Judgments, decisions, orders, causes of action and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether or not known, suspected or claimed, arising directly or indirectly from any act, omission, event or transaction occurring (or any circumstances existing) at or prior to the Closing with respect to the Transferred Company, the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, including the organization, management or operation of the Business, whether pursuant to the Seller Released Parties’ organizational documents, applicable Law, Contract or otherwise (the “Buyer Released Claims”); provided, however, that this Section 6.11 shall not constitute a release or waiver of any rights, claims or causes of action of any Buyer Releasing Party against the Transferred Company or Seller under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, which rights, claims and causes of action, for clarity, shall not comprise “Buyer Released Claims.” Each Buyer Releasing Party (a) understands that this is a full and final general release of all Buyer Released Claims of any nature whatsoever that could have been asserted in any action, suit or other proceeding against the Seller Released Parties and (b) represents and warrants to the Seller Released Parties that (i) it has not voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, conveyed or otherwise transferred, or purported to assign, convey or otherwise transfer, to any Person any Buyer Released Claims and (ii) there are no Liens on or against any of the Buyer Released Claims. Each of Buyer and Buyer Israeli Subsidiary acknowledges that the Laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Each of Buyer and Buyer Israeli Subsidiary acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a Person from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, Xxxxx and Buyer Israeli Subsidiary agree that, effective as of the Closing, Buyer (on behalf of the Buyer Releasing Parties) shall be deemed to waive any such provision. Each of Buyer and Buyer Israeli Subsidiary, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Releasing Parties, unconditionally and irrevocably covenants not to, directly or indirectly, sue, or commence, knowingly aid or prosecute or cause to be commenced, knowingly aided or prosecuted any claim, action, suit or other proceeding, or authorize any other Person to commence or prosecute any claim, action, suit
72 or other proceeding, against any of the Seller Released Parties in respect of any Buyer Released Claim. Section 6.12. Buyer Israeli Subsidiary. Buyer shall cause Buyer Israeli Subsidiary to comply with all of its obligations under this Agreement. Section 6.13. R&W Insurance. The parties hereto acknowledge that, as of the date of this Agreement, Xxxxx has obtained a binder to the R&W Insurance Policy, a complete and correct copy of which has been provided to Seller prior to entry into this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall take all actions necessary to obtain and bind, and shall obtain and bind, the R&W Insurance Policy, which shall contain terms and conditions not materially less favorable to Buyer than the terms and conditions as set forth in the Binder; provided, however, that in all events, the R&W Insurance Policy shall provide that (a) the insurer shall have no, and shall waive and not pursue any and all, subrogation rights against any Seller Indemnitee, except for any claim for Fraud, (b) each Seller Indemnitee shall be a third party beneficiary of such waiver and (c) following the Closing, Buyer shall not amend the subrogation provisions of the R&W Insurance Policy in any manner adverse to any Seller Indemnitee without Seller’s express prior written consent. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid, all costs and expenses related to the R&W Insurance Policy. Buyer shall not amend, waive or otherwise modify the R&W Insurance Policy in any manner adverse to Seller. Article VII Post-Closing Covenants Seller covenants and agrees with Xxxxx and Xxxxx Israeli Subsidiary, and each of Buyer and Buyer Israeli Subsidiary covenants and agrees with Seller, that during the period commencing after the Closing: Section 7.01. Use of Retained Names and Marks by Xxxxx.

Each of Buyer and Buyer Israeli Subsidiary further acknowledges that it has no rights or interests, and is not acquiring any rights or interests, directly or indirectly, through the Transferred Company or otherwise, to use the Retained Names and Marks, except as expressly provided herein. (b) Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Company) (collectively, the “Buyer Licensees”), a 73 worldwide, royalty-free, non-transferrable, non-exclusive irrevocable license to use the Retained Names and Marks solely as follows in connection with the operation of the Business, in each instance as operated immediately prior to the Closing: (i) (x) on packaging, labeling, instructions for use and the body of products for, or (y) in connection with the manufacture, sale, packaging, distribution, promotion, advertising, marketing, importing and exporting of, (A) any Products that have been the subject of sales on or before the date hereof, including any such Products that are manufactured after the date hereof, and (B) any Products set forth on Schedule 7.01(b), in each case, in the manner used in the operation of the Business immediately prior to the Closing Date, for a period of four (4) years after the Closing Date; (ii) on equipment, signs, letterheads, invoices and other physical documents and materials, in each case containing the Retained Names and Marks in the form in which they exist and are used by the Transferred Company as of the Closing (collectively, the “Existing Stock”), for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date (provided that the license granted pursuant to this Section 7.01(b)(ii) shall not apply with respect to any substantive revisions to the Existing Stock that are made after the Closing Date); and (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing in (i) and (ii), in all Internet domain names, website content, and other internet or electronic communications for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (provided that if the content of such websites or other internet or electronic communications is a digital copy (e.g. scan, photograph) of something that is covered by the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) and for which the Retained Names and Marks have not already been removed therefrom, the time periods specified in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable shall apply instead). provided that with respect to the licenses granted under clause (b)(i) above, (A) if between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Buyer notifies Seller of any circumstance (including any requirement of applicable Law) that, as reasonably determined by Buyer in good faith, would materially restrict or interfere with Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ ability to operate the Business as a result of the limitations set forth in clause (b)(i) above, as applicable, Seller shall engage in good faith negotiations with Buyer as to reasonable modifications to the scope of such license (on terms mutually agreed by the parties) to the extent necessary to avoid such restriction or interference and (B) if after the Closing Date Buyer notifies Seller of any requirement of applicable Law that, as reasonably determined by Buyer in good faith, would materially restrict or interfere with Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ ability to operate the Business as a result of the limitations set forth in clause (b)(i) above, as applicable, Seller shall engage in good faith negotiations with Buyer as to reasonable modifications to the scope of such license (on terms mutually agreed by the parties) to the extent necessary to avoid such restriction or interference. (c) Buyer Licensees’ use of the Retained Names and Marks shall be subject to all generally applicable style and other usage guidelines in effect for the Retained Names and Marks immediately prior to the Closing Date.

Buyer Licensees shall be liable for their sublicensees’ compliance with the obligations under 74 Section 7.01(b) and any breach by a sublicensee shall be deemed a breach by Buyer Licensee. (d) Upon Seller’s request, Xxxxx shall, and shall cause the Transferred Company to, promptly execute all assignment, transfer and other documents, and take all steps, in each case, that Seller believes are necessary or desirable to confirm, effectuate or otherwise evidence or record Seller’s and its Affiliates’ (excluding, after the Closing, the Transferred Company) rights, title and interests in and to, and control over, the Retained Names and Marks, including the Internet domain names and social media identifiers, handles and tags incorporating any Retained Names and Marks. (e) Nothing hereunder permits Buyer, its Affiliates or, after the Closing, the Transferred Company, to register or to seek to register, any of the Retained Names and Marks in any jurisdiction. Buyer shall ensure that all use of the Retained Names and Marks by the Transferred Company, after the Closing, as provided in this Section 7.01, shall be only with respect to goods and services of a level of quality equal to or greater than the quality of goods and services with respect to which the Transferred Company used the Retained Names and Marks prior to the Closing. Any and all goodwill generated by the use of the Retained Names and Marks, including under this Section 7.01 shall inure solely to the benefit of Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Company). In any event, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and, after the Closing, the Transferred Company not to, use the Retained Names and Marks in any manner that may damage or tarnish the reputation of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Company) or the goodwill associated with the Retained Names and Marks. (f) Upon the expiration of each period set forth in Section 7.01(b)(i), (b)(ii), and (b)(iii), Buyer Licensees shall cease, and cause their sublicensees to cease, all use of the Retained Names and Marks subject, in the case of Section 7.01(b)(i) and (b)(ii) to a one-year phase-out period, to allow Buyer Licensees to use and exhaust current inventories or products that use the Retained Names and Marks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer Licensees shall not be required to recall from the market any Existing Stock containing the Retained Names and Marks and shall be permitted to retain Existing Stock containing the Retained Names and Marks to the extent required by applicable Law or order of a Governmental Entity to be retained or maintained, or to the extent that such materials are retained for archival purposes or reside on e-mail platforms, in archival back-up tapes or similar storage media or are otherwise retained for archival purposes in accordance with internal policies of Buyer Licensees (in which case such materials are not to be used for any purpose by Buyer Licensees other than archival purposes). (g) Xxxxx agrees that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any responsibility for claims by third parties arising out of, or relating to, the use by the Transferred Company of any Retained Names and Marks after the Closing. In addition to any and all other available remedies, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any and all such claims that may arise out of the use of the Retained Names and Marks (i) by the Transferred Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7.01, other than such claims that the Retained Names and Marks infringe the IP Rights of any third party; or (ii) by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Company) in violation of or outside the scope permitted by this Section 7.01. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, 75 Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 7.01, Seller shall suffer irreparable harm, and Seller in addition to any other remedies available to it, (A) shall be entitled to a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order or other equivalent relief restraining Buyer and any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Company) from any such breach or threatened breach and (B) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction, order or other relief. (h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Company) shall have any right to use for any purpose, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting to Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Company) a license to use in any way, any of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ trademarks, service marks, domain names, social media identifiers, handles and tags, logos and names not included in the Retained Names and Marks, including but not limited to those set forth on Schedule 7.01(h) (collectively, the “Excluded Marks”). Buyer hereby acknowledges that Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Company) retain all right, title and interest in the Excluded Marks, and any and all right of the Transferred Company to use the Excluded Marks shall terminate as of the Closing and shall immediately revert to Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Company), along with any and all goodwill associated therewith. Section 7.02. Use of Transferred Company IP by Seller During Transition Period. Buyer hereby grants to Seller and its Affiliates permission to use the IP Rights that are owned by the Transferred Company during the terms of the Transition Services Agreement and the Transition Manufacturing Agreement to the extent required by Seller and its Affiliates to provide the services described therein to Buyer or its Affiliates. Section 7.03. Access; Cooperation. (a) Buyer shall grant Seller access to all contracts, books, records and other information in Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ possession relating to the conduct of the Business prior to the Closing, except where such access is prohibited by applicable Law. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for reasonable expenses incurred in providing such access. (b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall make the Transferred Employees available to Seller to assist Seller, and shall otherwise cooperate with Seller, in the preparation and submission of any of Seller’s financial statements, in each case to the extent Transferred Employees have provided such information or such assistance prior to the Closing. (c) After the Closing, (i) Seller shall provide to Buyer the necessary information to permit Buyer to effect and perfect the transfer of the applications and registrations of the Patents, Trademarks and Domain Names included in the Owned Intellectual Property in accordance with Section 2.01(a) and (ii) Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in executing appropriate documents to effectuate the transfer or assignment for the Owned Intellectual Property that is in the name of Seller or any of its Affiliates and to remove any recordations of any designated licensee or registered users of any Owned Intellectual Property if requested by Buyer and required by the local patent and trademark offices to record the change of ownership of the Owned Intellectual
76 Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Closing and upon the earlier of six (6) months or the actual transfer of any Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights or Domain Names, Seller and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to maintain or renew any Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights or Domain Names in the Owned Intellectual Property other than pursuant to the BWI In-License Agreement and the BWI Out-License Agreement. Section 7.04. Insurance. (a) Except as set forth in Section 7.04(b), the coverage under all insurance policies related to the Transferred Company and the Transferred Assets and arranged or maintained by Seller or its Affiliates is only for the benefit of Seller and its Affiliates, and not for the benefit of Buyer or, after the Closing, the Transferred Company. As of the Closing Date, Xxxxx agrees to arrange for its own insurance policies with respect to the Transferred Company and the Transferred Assets covering all periods from and after the Closing and, except as set forth in Section 7.04(b), agrees not to seek (and to cause the Transferred Company not to seek), through any means, to benefit from any of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ insurance policies which may provide coverage for claims relating in any way to the Transferred Company or the Transferred Assets. (b) From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, maintain its existing (or similarly comprehensive) policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance such that they will continue to provide coverage for the benefit of the directors and officers of the Transferred Company serving prior to and as of the Closing Date with respect to any liabilities arising out of actions or omissions of such persons prior to the Closing in their capacities as persons covered by such policies. Section 7.05. Payments from Third Parties. In the event that, on or after the Closing Date, either Seller (or its Affiliates), on the one hand, or Buyer (or its Affiliates), on the other hand, shall receive any payments or other funds due to the other (or its Affiliates) pursuant to the terms of any of the Transaction Documents, then the party receiving such funds shall promptly forward such funds to the proper party. The parties acknowledge and agree there is no right of offset regarding such payments and a party may not withhold funds received from third parties for the account of the other party in the event there is a dispute regarding any other issue under any of the Transaction Documents. Section 7.06. Tax Matters. (a) Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes. (i) Seller shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by or in respect of (A) the Transferred Company or the Transferred Assets that are due (including applicable extensions) to be filed on or before the Closing Date or (B) the Transferred Company that are required to be included in (or filed with) a Tax Return of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or aggregate group of which Seller or any of its Affiliates is part for any taxable period (together, “Seller Tax Returns”). Seller Tax Returns described in clause (A) and pro forma returns of the Transferred Company described in clause (B) shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by applicable Law on a more likely than not basis. 77 (ii) Buyer shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of or in respect of the Transferred Company or the Transferred Assets in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any Straddle Tax Period) other than Seller Tax Returns or Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes, which are addressed in Section 2.07 (“Buyer Tax Returns”). All Buyer Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by applicable Law on a more likely than not basis. At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing (taking into account any applicable extensions that are automatically granted) of any Buyer Tax Return, Buyer shall deliver to Seller for Seller’s review and approval a draft of any such Buyer Tax Return together with a statement setting forth the amount of Tax for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 7.06(d)(i). Seller shall provide any comments within fifteen (15) days from the receipt of the relevant draft Buyer Tax Return, and Xxxxx shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments of Seller. Unless otherwise required by Law, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Company) shall file an amended Tax Return, or agree to any waiver or extension of the statute of limitations relating to Taxes, with respect to the Transferred Company or the Transferred Assets for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned. (iii) Seller shall timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, all Taxes due and payable with respect to any Seller Tax Return described in clause (A) of Section 7.06(a)(i). Buyer shall timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, all Taxes due and payable with respect to any Buyer Tax Return; provided that Seller shall pay to Buyer, at least two (2) business days prior to the date on which the relevant Taxes are required to be paid to the applicable Taxing Authority, the amount of Tax for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 7.06(d)(i) in connection with the filing of any Buyer Tax Return, except for any Taxes included in the determination of the Current Liabilities. (b) Carrybacks. To the extent permitted under applicable Tax Law, Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, hereby waives any right to carry back, use or apply in any Pre-Closing Tax Period any Tax asset, including any net capital loss, net operating loss, foreign Tax credit, charitable contribution credit or research and development credit, of the Transferred Company arising in any taxable period ending after the Closing Date. (c) Refunds. Seller shall be entitled to retain, or receive prompt payment from Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including the Transferred Company) with respect to, any refund, credit, offset or other similar benefit actually received (or in the case of an offset or credit against a Tax otherwise owing, the amount by which a tax liability was actually offset or reduced by way of credit) with respect to Taxes attributable to the Transferred Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, including any such amounts arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date, but excluding any amounts taken into account under Section 7.06(d)(iv). In connection with the foregoing, if Seller determines that the Transferred Company is entitled to file or make a formal or informal claim for a refund of Taxes (including by filing an amended Tax Return) with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall be entitled, at Seller’s expense, to require that Buyer cause the Transferred Company to file or make, such formal or informal claim for refund, 78 and Seller shall be entitled to control the prosecution of such claim for refund; provided, however, (i) that Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of the claim for refund at least thirty (30) days before the due date, and (ii) that Buyer shall have fifteen (15) days to review the claim and shall file, or cause to be filed, such claim for refund if it consents to the filing, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned. Buyer shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates and the Transferred Company to cooperate, with respect to any claim for refund made in accordance with the preceding sentence and shall pay, or cause the Transferred Company to pay, to Seller the amount (including interest) of any related refund, credit, offset or other similar benefit received or realized by Buyer or any Affiliate thereof (including the Transferred Company), net of any unreimbursed reasonable costs incurred by Buyer or its Affiliates in respect of obtaining such refund, credit, offset or other similar benefit, within five days of receipt (or realization) thereof. Buyer and Seller shall equitably apportion any refund, credit, offset or other similar benefit received or realized with respect to Taxes attributable to the Transferred Company for a Straddle Tax Period in a manner consistent with the principles set forth in Section 7.06(d)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, Seller is not entitled to any refund, credit, offset or other similar benefit resulting from the carryback of a tax attribute from a Post-Closing Tax Period to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Buyer shall be entitled to all refunds of Taxes in respect of Taxes that relate to Post-Closing Tax Periods, and Seller shall promptly pay over any such refunds received by Seller or its Affiliates (not including the Transferred Company) after the Closing to Buyer. (d) Tax Indemnification. (i) Seller shall, without duplication, indemnify, defend and hold Buyer and its Affiliates harmless from and against all Losses from liabilities for Pre-Closing Taxes; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Company) from any Loss on account of any liability for Taxes (i) to the extent attributable to a Buyer Tax Act, (ii) that are Transfer Taxes, (iii) to the extent such Taxes were taken into account in determining Working Capital or (iv) to the extent that Seller paid such Taxes in accordance with Section 7.06(a)(iii). For purposes of this Section 7.06, “Buyer Tax Act” shall mean (A) a breach by Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Transferred Company) of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement, (B) any election under federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law effective for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (and the costs attributable to any such election shall be borne solely by Buyer) that is made after the Closing Date, except for any such election required by Law as in effect at the time of Closing, including as a result of a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law), and (C) any other action taken outside of the Ordinary Course of Business on the Closing Date after the Closing; adopting or changing any Tax accounting method or period with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; filing any amended Tax Return of the Transferred Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; filing any Tax Return of the Transferred Company outside the Ordinary Course of Business relating to any Pre- Closing Tax Period; making any voluntary disclosure with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Transferred Company or otherwise voluntarily approaching a Governmental Entity with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Transferred Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; applying for any Tax ruling that affects the Pre- Closing Tax Period; consenting to any extension or waiver of the limitation period 79 applicable to any Tax claim or assessment relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; entering into any closing agreement within the meaning of Section 7121 of the Code (or any similar provision of applicable state, local or non-U.S. Law) with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; or assuming or agreeing to indemnify any liability for Taxes of another Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing clause (C), the actions described in clause (C) do not include an election described in clause (B), any action expressly required by the terms of this Agreement or any action contemplated or undertaken in accordance with Section 7.06. (ii) Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Company) shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless from and against all (A) liabilities for Taxes of or in respect of the Transferred Company or the Transferred Assets relating to a Post-Closing Period, and (B) liabilities for Transfer Taxes. (iii) In the case of any Straddle Tax Period: (A) Any Taxes imposed in respect of the Transferred Assets and the periodic Taxes of the Transferred Company that are not based on income or receipts (e.g., property or ad valorem Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be pro-rated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post- Closing Tax Period in the same ratio as the number of days in the Pre- Closing Tax Period bears to the number of days in the Post-Closing Tax Period; and (B) Taxes of the Transferred Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period, other than Taxes described in Section 7.06(d)(iii)(A) above, shall be computed as if such Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date, provided that any determinations made on a time basis, such as depreciation, shall be pro-rated on a per diem basis. (iv) Seller’s obligation to make an indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 7.06(d) shall be reduced by the amount of any refunds of Taxes with respect to Pre- Closing Tax Periods to the extent received after the Closing Date by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Company) and not remitted to Seller prior to the date on which Seller is otherwise required to make the applicable indemnity payment hereunder. (v) The indemnification obligations under Section 7.06(d)(i) shall survive the Closing until the date that is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including extensions or waivers) with respect to the assessment of the Taxes subject to the indemnification obligation, and shall thereafter expire and be of no force or effect. (e) Tax Contests. (i) Buyer shall notify Seller within three (3) business days of receiving notice from an applicable Taxing Authority of any Tax Proceeding for a Pre-Closing Tax Period with respect to the Transferred Company or the Transferred Assets. With respect to any Tax Proceeding relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Transferred Company or the Transferred Assets (not including, for the avoidance of doubt the Asset Transferring Affiliate Tax Return) in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period (not including, for the
80 avoidance of doubt, any Seller Tax Returns described in Section 7.06(a)(i)(B)), Seller may choose in its sole discretion (at its expense) to control, and, except as provided herein, make all decisions taken in connection with, such Tax Proceeding (including selection of counsel). Without limiting the foregoing, Seller may in its sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Governmental Entity with respect to any Tax Proceedings, and in its sole discretion either pay the applicable Tax Liability and sue for a refund or contest the Tax at issue in such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) Buyer, and counsel of its own choosing, shall have the right to participate in such Tax Proceeding (including attending any conferences and having a reasonable opportunity to comment on any written communications to the extent relating to the Taxes at issue), (B) Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of all material meetings, correspondence and issues relating to such Tax Proceeding, and (C) Seller shall not settle any such Tax Proceeding or take any action or refrain from taking any action that would reasonably be expected to prejudice Buyer or its Affiliates without the consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If Seller fails within thirty (30) business days of receipt of a notice of a Tax Proceeding described in this Section 7.06(e)(i) to assume control of such Tax Proceeding, then Seller shall be deemed to have waived its right to control the Tax Proceeding and Buyer shall have the right to control such Tax Proceeding, provided that Buyer (D) shall keep Seller reasonably informed all material meetings, correspondence and issues relating to such Tax Proceeding and (E) shall not settle any such Tax Proceeding or take any action or refrain from taking any action that would reasonably be expected to prejudice Seller or its Affiliates (including the Transferred Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period) without the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.06, with respect to the Transferred Company, Buyer shall not make or change any election with respect to Taxes that would give rise to a Seller Tax indemnity obligation under Section 7.06(d)(i) or reduce any Tax asset of Seller or any of its Affiliates, unless such election is required by applicable Law, in which case Buyer shall notify Seller as soon as reasonably practicable. 81 (iii) Buyer, the Transferred Company and each of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and its respective Affiliates, on the other hand, shall provide the other with such information and records, and make such of its officers, directors, employees and agents available, as may reasonably be requested by such other party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or the conduct of any Tax Proceeding relating to the Transferred Company and/or the Transferred Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Tax Period, and shall cooperate in contesting any Tax Proceeding, which cooperation shall include the retention and, upon request, the provision to the requesting party of records and information, including copies of any relevant Tax Returns and supporting work schedules, which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Proceeding, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Proceeding.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any claims for any and all Tax matters shall be made only pursuant to, and the procedures with respect thereto shall be governed exclusively by, this Section 7.06 and shall not be governed by the provisions of Article X; provided, however, that Sections 10.01, 10.07, 10.08 and 10.09 shall apply to such claims and such procedures with respect thereto. For purposes of Sections 10.07, 10.08 and 10.09, (A) a party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.06 shall be an Indemnified Party and (B) a party with an indemnification obligation under this Section 7.06 shall be an Indemnifying Party.

From and after the date of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to address any Contracts between the Transferred Company or Asset Transferring Affiliate and any non-employee Service Provider. (b) Within ten (10) business days of the date of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with a list on Schedule 8.01(b) containing, as of the date of this Agreement, an identification number, date of hire, position, location, base salary, wage rate, overtime classification (e.g., exempt or non-exempt), overtime payment, bonus and sales incentive target, target equity grant, equity participation rate, information about any current or pending workers’ compensation benefits, sick leave entitlement, yearly vacation entitlement and accrual rate, prior notice entitlement, severance/termination payments, travel entitlement (e.g., travel allowance/car allowance/leased car arrangement/car maintenance allowance), 2023 benefit elections, expected 2024 employee contribution increase and the information required to be provided pursuant to Section 8.01(n) of each individual identified by Seller as expected to be an Employee of the Business, and with respect to Asset Transferring Affiliate’s Employees of the Business, pension/provident fund/education fund contributions, including employer/employee contribution rates and the salary basis for such contributions, and whether such employee is subject to the Section 14 Arrangement under the Israeli Severance Pay Law – 1963 (the “Section 14 Arrangement”) (and if such employee is subject to the Section 14 Arrangement, an indication of whether such arrangement applies to such employee from the commencement of his/her employment on the basis of his/her entire salary); provided, however, that such list shall include the names of Non-U.S. Business Employees. Seller shall update such information periodically prior to the Closing Date to reflect new hires, leaves of absence, employment terminations, changes to compensation, and any other material changes thereto, and will also include accrued and unused sick leave entitlement, and provide copies of such updated lists and information to Buyer. (c) Each Employee of the Business who, as of the Closing Date, is on an approved leave of absence from work with Seller or its Affiliates (including military reserve 86 duty, short-term disability or workers compensation) or whose employment may not be terminated subject to applicable Law is herein referred to as an “Inactive Employee”. Seller and its Affiliates shall ensure that each Inactive Employee shall be employed by an entity other than the Transferred Company as of immediately prior to the Closing. Buyer shall offer employment to each Inactive Employee on the earliest practicable date following the return of such Inactive Employee to work with Seller and its Affiliates, or otherwise upon the consummation of the legal circumstances allowing the termination of employment of such Inactive Employee, on terms and conditions consistent with this Section 8.01; provided that, for employees on approved leave of absence, such employee returns to work within 180 days following the Closing Date or such time as required by applicable Law (even if in excess of 180 days). Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of the occurrence and end of any such leave of absence. In the case of any Inactive Employee who becomes a Transferred Employee on or after the day following the Closing Date, all references in this Article VIII to (i) the Closing or the Closing Date (other than in this Section 8.01(c)) shall be deemed to be references to the day prior to the date on which such individual becomes a Transferred Employee or such date allowing the transfer subject to applicable Law and (ii) the Transfer Time shall be deemed to be references to 12:01 A.M., local time, on the date that such individual becomes a Transferred Employee. (d) Those Employee of the Business listed on Schedule 8.01(d) are herein referred to as the “Transition Employees”. Seller and its Affiliates shall ensure that each Transition Employee (other than any Transition Employee that may be hired by Seller or its Affiliates after the Closing, as specified on Schedule 8.01(d)) shall be employed by an entity other than the Transferred Company as of immediately prior to the Closing. Buyer shall offer employment to each Transition Employee as of the end of the applicable transition services under the Transition Services Agreement or Transition Manufacturing Agreement (or at such other time mutually agreed between Buyer and Seller) (the applicable date for each Transition Employee, the “Transition End Date”) on terms and conditions consistent with this Section 8.01 and shall hire each such Transition Employee who accepts such offer of employment. The Continuation Period (as defined below) with respect to such Transition Employees shall run concurrently with the period of time during which the applicable transition services are performed under the Transition Services Agreement or Transition Manufacturing Agreement so that, with respect to each Transition Employee, the Continuation Period shall not extend beyond the Transition End Date if such date occurs after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date. Seller and its Affiliates shall enter into retention incentive agreements with the Transition Employees during the transition service period which shall be subject to review and consultation by Buyer; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and its Affiliates’ obligations to provide severance in accordance with Section 8.01(j) or Section 8.01(m), as applicable, shall end on the later of (i) the end of the Continuation Period and (ii) three (3) months following the Transitions Employee’s commencement of employment with Buyer and its Affiliates. Seller and its Affiliates shall not terminate any Transition Employee, other than for cause (as determined by Seller in good faith), without consultation in good faith with Buyer and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace any Transition Employee who terminates employment prior to the Transition End Date, and shall consult in good faith with Buyer with respect to any such replacement. Any such replacement employee shall then be considered a “Transition Employee.” In the case of any Transition Employee who becomes a Transferred 87 Employee on or after the day following the Closing Date, all references in this Article VIII to (i) the Closing or the Closing Date (other than in this Section 8.01(d) and for purposes of the definition of Continuation Period below) shall be deemed to be references to the day prior to the date on which such individual becomes a Transferred Employee or such date allowing the transfer subject to applicable Law and (ii) the Transfer Time shall be deemed to be references to 12:01 A.M., local time, on the date that such individual becomes a Transferred Employee. (e) With respect to U.S. Transferred Employees, Seller and Buyer intend that the Transactions should not constitute a separation, termination or severance of employment of any such Employee of the Business prior to or upon the occurrence of the Transfer Time, including for purposes of any Business Employee Benefit Plan that provides for separation, termination or severance benefits, and that such employee will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Transfer Time. With respect to Non-U.S. Employees of the Business, Seller and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide thirty (30) days’ notice (or a longer notice period if required under the employment agreements of such Employees of the Business) of the termination of employment with Seller and its Affiliates in connection with the Closing Date, and may make a “payment in lieu” of the applicable notice period to such Employees of the Business. (f) Prior to the Closing Date, to the extent permitted by Law, Seller, or its applicable Affiliate, will terminate the employment of each Non-U.S. Employee of the Business, such termination to be effective as of the Closing Date, or such date after Closing that is the earliest date permitted by applicable Law. Buyer or one of its Affiliates will offer employment to (i) each Non-U.S. Employee of the Business who is not an Inactive Employee effective at 12:01 A.M., local time, on the day of the Closing Date (the “Transfer Time”) and (ii) each Inactive Employee in accordance with Section 8.01(c) of this Agreement. For Non- U.S. Employees of the Business who are not Inactive Employees, (x) Seller and its Affiliates shall provide notifications of termination to such Non-U.S. Employees of the Business at least fifteen (15) days prior to Closing, and (y) Buyer or its Affiliate will provide such offers as soon as reasonably practicable after Seller and its Affiliates provide the Non-U.S. Employee of the Business notification of termination and, in any event, at least fifteen (15) days prior to Closing. Offers pursuant to this Section 8.01(f) shall (i) be for a comparable position at the same or a nearby geographic work location, in each case, to those as of the Closing Date, (ii) for Non-U.S. Employees of the Business, be in a manner which shall not be deemed as derogating from their terms of employment and shall provide to each Transferred Employee no less favorable terms of employment, as applicable prior to the Transfer Time and for employment with Buyer Israeli Subsidiary, (iii) for U.S. Employees of the Business, be sufficient to avoid any severance obligations under applicable Law, a Seller Employee Benefit Plan, or applicable Contract and (iv) otherwise comply in all respects with applicable Law (including with respect to compensation and benefits). (g) Seller and its Affiliates shall pay Transferred Employees for salary, accrued vacation and, except as expressly set forth in Section 8.01(n), Section 8.01(o) or Section 8.01(p), all other wages and other compensation due and earned through the Closing Date. Immediately following Closing, each Transferred Employee will be eligible for paid vacation or time off from Buyer and its Affiliates at an accrual rate not less than the accrual
88 rate for such Transferred Employees at Seller or its Affiliate in effect immediately prior to Closing. (h) [Reserved] (i) With respect to U.S. Transferred Employees, during such Transferred Employee’s employment with Buyer or its Affiliate and through the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”, which for any Non-U.S. Transferred Employee, shall include such longer period as may be required by applicable Law), Buyer or its Affiliates: (i) shall provide to each such Transferred Employee (A) total cash compensation in the aggregate that is no less favorable than the total cash compensation, including base salary, wage rate, and bonus and sales incentive compensation targets, in each case, which are set forth with respect to each Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Transfer Time on Schedule 8.01(b); provided, however, that no base salary or wage rate may be decreased, (B) the incentive equity programs offered by Buyer and its Affiliates in accordance with the eligibility and other terms and conditions applicable to similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates (which, for the avoidance of doubt, might not include participation for certain U.S. Transferred Employees), and (C) employee benefits (including health and welfare benefits, but excluding defined benefit retirement benefits, retiree medical, retiree life insurance benefits and other immaterial employee benefit plans and arrangements (e.g., employee policies)) under plans, programs and arrangements that will provide benefits to such Transferred Employee that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the benefits provided by Seller and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) shall provide an office (which may be remote) within a commute of no more than 50 miles from his or her office as of immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided that if a relocation beyond that distance is required and such employee’s employment terminates as a result of his or her desire not to accept such a relocation, such employee shall receive the severance benefits at the level set forth in Section 8.01(j). The value of any Make-Whole Compensation provided to the Transferred Employees shall not be considered in determining whether Buyer and its Affiliates have satisfied their obligations pursuant to this Section 8.01(i). Nothing contemplated by this Agreement shall be construed as requiring either Buyer or any of its Affiliates to continue the employment of any U.S. Transferred Employee or of any Non-U.S. Transferred Employee for any period after the Closing Date. (j) With respect to U.S. Transferred Employees, for the Continuation Period, Buyer or its Affiliates shall provide severance benefits to each such Transferred Employee who experiences a Qualifying Termination that are no less favorable than the better of (i) those severance or termination benefits applicable to such Transferred Employee who enters into a release of claims as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) those provided under Buyer’s severance plan, program, policy or practice (whether contractual or otherwise) on the date of such Transferred Employee’s termination. Such severance benefits shall be subject to the Transferred Employee executing, and not revoking, a reasonable, customary release of all employment-related claims in favor of Buyer, Seller and their Affiliates and related parties. A Transferred Employee shall have at least twenty-one (21) days (or such longer period as required by applicable Law) to review and consider such release. This release requirement and process is referred to as the “Release Requirement”. (k) With respect to U.S. Transferred Employees, effective from and after the Transfer Time, Buyer and its Affiliates shall (i) recognize, for all purposes (other than benefit 89 accrual under a defined benefit pension plan) under all plans, programs and arrangements established or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates for the benefit of such Transferred Employees, service with Seller and its Affiliates prior to the Transfer Time to the extent such service was recognized under the corresponding Business Employee Benefit Plan covering such Transferred Employees, including for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit levels and accruals, in each case, except where it would result in a duplication of benefits, (ii) waive any pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period under all employee health and other welfare benefit plans established or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates for the benefit of such Transferred Employees, except to the extent such pre- existing condition, exclusion, requirement or waiting period would have applied to such individual under the corresponding Business Employee Benefit Plan and (iii) provide full credit for any co-payments, deductibles or similar payments made or incurred prior to the Transfer Time for the plan year in which the Closing occurs. (l) No later than the Closing Date, Buyer shall establish or cause to be established, at its own expense, all necessary retirement, employee welfare and employee benefit plans for U.S. Transferred Employees, as applicable. Effective as of the Transfer Time, each Transferred Employee shall cease to be an employee of Seller and its Affiliates and shall cease to participate in any Business Employee Benefit Plan (other than any Assumed Benefit Plan) as an active employee. Seller shall be, or shall cause its Affiliates to be, responsible for all (i) medical, vision, dental and prescription drug claims for expenses incurred by any U.S. Transferred Employee or his or her dependents, (ii) claims for short- term and long-term disability income benefits incurred by any U.S. Transferred Employee and (iii) claims for group life, travel and accident, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance benefits incurred by any U.S. Transferred Employee, in each case, prior to the Transfer Time. Buyer shall be, or shall cause its Affiliates to be, responsible for all (A) medical, vision, dental and prescription drug claims for expenses incurred by any Transferred Employee or his or her dependents, (B) claims for short-term and long-term disability income benefits incurred by any U.S. Transferred Employee and (C) claims for group life, travel and accident, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance benefits incurred by any U.S. Transferred Employee, in each case, on or after the Transfer Time. Except in the event of any claim for workers compensation benefits, for purposes of this Agreement, the following claims and liabilities shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (1) medical, vision, dental and/or prescription drug benefits (including hospital expenses), upon provision of the services, materials or supplies comprising any such benefits and (2) short-term and long-term disability, life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death, illness, injury or accident giving rise to such benefits. Seller and its Affiliates shall be responsible for all claims for workers compensation benefits that are incurred prior to the Transfer Time by any U.S. Transferred Employee. Buyer and its Affiliates shall be responsible for all claims for workers compensation benefits that are incurred on or after the Transfer Time by any U.S. Transferred Employee. A claim for workers compensation benefits shall be deemed to be incurred when the event giving rise to the claim (the “Workers Compensation Event”) occurs. If the Workers Compensation Event occurs over a period both preceding and following the Transfer Time, the claim shall be the joint responsibility and liability of Seller and Buyer and shall be equitably apportioned between Seller and Buyer based upon the 90 relative periods of time that the Workers Compensation Event transpired preceding and following the Transfer Time. (m) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.01 to the contrary, with respect to each Non-U.S. Transferred Employee, during the Continuation Period, Buyer or its Affiliates shall provide to such employee (i) terms and conditions of employment (including seniority and other service credit) that individually, are no less than as required by applicable Law, and are no less favorable than those provided by Seller and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Transfer Time and (ii) amounts (and, to the extent required by applicable Law, types, including defined benefit pension benefits, where applicable) of compensation and benefits (including severance and equity compensation benefits) that, individually, are no less than as required by applicable Law and, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than those provided by Seller and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Transfer Time. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may satisfy its obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence by providing cash payments or other benefits in lieu of equity compensation benefits (unless otherwise required by applicable Law). The value of any Make-Whole Compensation provided to the Non-U.S. Transferred Employees shall not be considered in determining whether Buyer and its Affiliates have satisfied their obligations pursuant to this Section 8.01(m). (n) For each such Unvested LTI Award of a Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Transfer Time, Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, provide such Transferred Employee with Make-Whole Compensation as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) business days, following the Transfer Time. With respect to any Unvested LTI Award, “Make-Whole Compensation” means one or more types of compensation, which may be either cash based or equity based, vested or unvested, that provides the Transferred Employee with (i) an aggregate economic value at least equal to the value of the applicable Unvested LTI Award and (ii) vesting, payment and termination terms and schedules that, in each case are no less favorable than those of the applicable Unvested LTI Award. For purposes of clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the value of any Unvested LTI Awards that (A) are in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units shall be determined based on the trading price of Parent common stock as of the close of trading on the business day immediately prior to the Transfer Time; (B) are in the form of stock options shall be determined based on the intrinsic value (i.e., spread value) of the stock options based on the difference between the applicable exercise price and the trading price of Parent common stock as of the close of trading on the business day immediately prior to the Transfer Time; and (C) have not been granted but are included in clause (ii) of the definition of “Unvested LTI Awards” shall be equal to the target value. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that a Transferred Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination, subject to the Transferred Employee’s satisfaction of the Release Requirement, Buyer or its Affiliate shall promptly vest and, if applicable, pay a pro-rated portion of any Make-Whole Compensation that is unvested at the time of such termination. If applicable, Buyer or its Affiliate shall also promptly pay any such Transferred Employee’s Make-Whole Compensation that is vested and unpaid at the time of such termination. Seller shall include on Schedule 8.01(b) all long term incentive awards held by Employees of the Business that Seller expects to be Unvested LTI Awards listed on Schedule 8.01(b), including, with respect to each such long term incentive award, (x) the vesting schedule and (y) the applicable holder’s Retirement Eligibility Date, and Seller shall update the applicable portion of 91 Schedule 8.01(b) prior to the Transfer Time to reflect the grant, vesting and forfeiture of long term incentive awards. (o) Seller and its Affiliates shall pay each Transferred Employee for incentive compensation earned under the incentive compensation plan of Seller or one of its Affiliates in which such Transferred Employee participates (each, a “Seller Bonus Plan”) for 2023 in accordance with the terms of the applicable Seller Bonus Plan. Solely in the event the Closing occurs on or after May 1, 2024, as soon as practicable following the date on which Buyer and its Affiliates have paid all incentive compensation amounts for 2024 (each, a “2024 Bonus Amount”) to all Transferred Employees in any country, Buyer shall provide Seller with a schedule (the “2024 Paid Bonus Schedule”) that sets forth the name of each Transferred Employee in such country who received a 2024 Bonus Amount and the amount so paid to such Transferred Employee, and not later than 30 business days following the receipt of such 2024 Paid Bonus Schedule, Seller, or one of its Affiliates, shall pay to Buyer (i) the portion of each 2024 Bonus Amount set forth on such Paid Bonus Schedule equal to (A) the 2024 Bonus Amount (or, if lower, the Transferred Employee’s 2024 target bonus amount, as indicated on Schedule 8.01(b)), multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days beginning with January 1, 2024 and ending on the date of the Transfer Time, and the denominator of which is 366, plus (ii) the employer portion of employment Taxes on the amounts described in the immediately preceding clause (i). This Section 8.01(o) shall not apply to the Transition Employees and Seller and its Affiliates shall be responsible for providing bonuses to Transition Employees, including pursuant to Section 8.01(d), for the year commencing January 1, 2024. The foregoing rules in this Section 8.01(o) shall not apply to payments under any sales incentive arrangements of Seller and its Affiliates (“Seller Sales Plans”). Seller or its Affiliates shall make all payments under the Seller Sales Plans that are due and earned through the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Seller Sales Plans. (p) Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, assume and perform all obligations, including making payments to the Transferred Employee in accordance with the terms thereof, under (i) each Business as Usual Retention Agreement (as defined in Schedule 3.17(b)) between Seller or its Affiliates and an Employee of the Business who becomes a Transferred Employee prior to the satisfaction of all payments under such Business as Usual Retention Agreement and (ii) each sales differential award made under Seller’s Sales Differential Policy prior to Closing to an Employee of the Business who is a participant in Seller’s Sales Differential program as of the date of this Agreement and who becomes a Transferred Employee. (q) If any Employee of the Business requires a work permit or employment pass or other legal or regulatory approval for his or her employment with Buyer or its Affiliates, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such permit, pass or other approval to be obtained or, if applicable, to be linked to Buyer’s name, and in effect prior to the Closing Date. In the event an applicable work permit for an Employee of the Business is not in place with Buyer or its applicable Affiliate as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, continue to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the applicable work permit and the parties shall reasonably cooperate to agree on an alternative timeframe for the transfer of such Employee of the Business. To the extent Seller makes the services of such Employee of the
92 Business available to Buyer through an employee secondment or similar arrangement, Buyer shall be responsible for the economic costs of such individual’s compensation and benefits (including reimbursement for any expenses incurred by such Employee of the Business, all applicable fees, Taxes and other amounts owed to third parties and all applicable social or national insurance contributions) for such service period until the applicable work permit can be obtained. (r) At least two (2) weeks prior to the Transfer Time, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Seller shall provide to Buyer and its Affiliates copies of all employment records for each Transferred Employee required to be provided to Buyer and its Affiliates under applicable Law or as necessary for Buyer to establish payroll systems or employee benefit plans as of the Transfer Time. Buyer shall maintain all such records in compliance with, and for the time periods specified under, applicable Law. Seller shall be permitted to retain copies of such employment records, except where prohibited by applicable Law. Buyer and its Affiliates shall ensure that all such records are used only in connection with the employment of such Transferred Employee and shall keep such employment records confidential; provided that Buyer and its Affiliates shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any statutory, common Law or other claims that arise from the use of such employment records other than for employment, compensation or termination-related purposes. (s) In the United States, pursuant to IRS Revenue Procedure 2004-53, Buyer and Seller and their respective Affiliates shall apply the “standard procedure” for purposes of employee payroll reporting with respect to any Employee of the Business who was employed by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller other than the Transferred Company. (t) Solely to the extent the Closing occurs on or after January 1, 2024, Buyer and Seller agree to the following terms and conditions with respect to the health flexible spending reimbursement accounts. With respect to the U.S. Transferred Employees, Xxxxx and Seller agree to facilitate a spin-off of the health flexible spending reimbursement accounts from the Seller’s Section 125 plan to Buyer’s Section 125 plan and Buyer shall honor and continue through the end of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs the elections made by each U.S. Transferred Employee under the Seller’s Section 125 plan in respect of the health flexible spending reimbursement accounts that are in effect immediately prior to the Closing. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be transferred from the Seller’s Section 125 plan to the Buyer’s Section 125 plan the excess of the aggregate accumulated contributions to the health flexible spending reimbursement accounts made prior to the Closing during the year in which the Closing Date occurs by U.S. Transferred Employees over the aggregate reimbursement payouts made prior to the Closing for such year from such accounts to the Transferred Employees. U.S. Transferred Employees shall be treated as if their participation had been continuous from the beginning of Seller’s plan year in which the Closing Date falls and their existing salary reduction elections shall be taken into account for the remainder of Xxxxx’s plan year in which the Closing Date falls as if made under Xxxxx’s health flexible spending account. Buyer’s health flexible spending account shall provide reimbursement for medical care expenses incurred by U.S. Transferred Employees at any time during Seller’s plan year in which the Closing Date falls (including claims incurred before the Closing Date), up to the amount of such Transferred Employees’ elections and reduced by amounts previously reimbursed by Xxxxxx’s health flexible spending 93 account. If, as of the Closing Date, the amount reimbursed to such U.S. Transferred Employees under the Seller health flexible spending account for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs exceeds the amount of contributions made by U.S. Transferred Employees to the Seller health flexible spending account for such plan year, as of the last day of the plan year, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount up to the amount of such excess for each such U.S. Transferred Employee based upon the amount received in contributions from the Transferred Employee following the Closing Date in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs. This Section 8.01(t) shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with Rev. Rul. 2002-32, 2002-1 C.B. 1069 (June 6, 2002). (u) The provisions contained in this Agreement with respect to any Employee of the Business are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right in any other person, including any Employee of the Business (or dependent or beneficiary of any of the foregoing). Nothing herein shall be deemed an amendment of any plan providing benefits to any Employee of the Business. Article IX Termination Section 9.01. Buyer Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by Buyer: (a) at any time prior to the Closing, if (i) Seller shall have failed to comply, in any material respect, with any of Seller’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or (ii) any one or more of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall prove to have been inaccurate in any material respect when made and, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), such failure or inaccuracy (A) would give rise, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b), as applicable, and (B) has not been cured or is incapable of being cured by Seller or its Affiliates prior to the earlier of (1) the Outside Date and (2) the 20th business day after Seller’s receipt of written notice thereof from Buyer; provided that such 20th business day shall be extended (up to the Outside Date) so long as Seller is using its commercially reasonable efforts to cure any such breach; (b) at any time prior to the Closing, if a Closing Legal Impediment exists that is final and non-appealable; or (c) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date; provided, however, that Buyer may only terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding clauses (a), (b) or (c) if at the time of termination neither Buyer nor Buyer Israeli Subsidiary is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. Section 9.02. Seller Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by Seller: (a) at any time prior to the Closing, if (i) either Buyer or Buyer Israeli Subsidiary shall have failed to comply, in any material respect, with any of Buyer’s or Buyer 94 Israeli Subsidiary’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or (ii) any one or more of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement shall prove to have been inaccurate in any material respect when made and, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), such failure or inaccuracy (A) would give rise, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.02(a) or Section 5.02(b), as applicable, and (B) has not been or is incapable of being cured by Buyer or its Affiliates prior to the earlier of (1) the Outside Date and (2) the 20th business day after Xxxxx’s receipt of written notice thereof from Seller; provided that such 20th business day shall be extended (up to the Outside Date) so long as Buyer and Buyer Israeli Subsidiary, as applicable, are using their commercially reasonable efforts to cure any such breach; (b) at any time prior to the Closing, if a Closing Legal Impediment exists that is final and non-appealable; or (c) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date; provided, however, that Seller may only terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding clauses (a), (b) or (c) if at the time of termination Seller is not in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. Section 9.03. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Article IX, it will become void and of no further force and effect, with no liability on the part of any party to this Agreement (or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, Affiliates or agents), except that the provisions of this Section 9.03 and Sections 6.04 and 7.09(a) and Article XI will survive any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for Damages incurred or suffered by any other party as a result of any Fraud, willful misconduct or intentional breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement. Article X Indemnification Section 10.01. Survival. None of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and no claim may be made by a party against the other party after the Closing in respect of any breach of or inaccuracy in any such representation and warranty other than a claim for Fraud. The covenants or agreements contained in Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.07, 6.09, 6.10 and Section 8.01(e)-(f) of this Agreement shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing. The covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date shall survive the Closing until fully performed or, if a shorter period of time, until the expiration of the term of the undertaking set forth in such agreements and covenants. Section 10.02. Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against and from any and all Damages which any Buyer Indemnitee may incur or suffer to the extent such Damages arise out of or result from (a) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by Seller in this Agreement, 95 or (b) the Specified Matters. Notwithstanding that a claim for Damages may fall into multiple categories of this Section 10.02, a Buyer Indemnitee may recover such Damages one time only. Buyer shall take, and shall cause the other Buyer Indemnitees to take, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto. This Section 10.02 shall not apply to Damages arising out of or as a result of Taxes. Section 10.03. Indemnification by Xxxxx. In addition to the indemnification set forth in Sections 7.01(g), 7.06(d), 7.08, 8.01(l) and 8.01(s), from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against and from any and all Damages which any Seller Indemnitee may incur or suffer to the extent such Damages arise out of or result from (i) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer or Buyer Israeli Subsidiary in this Agreement or (ii) any of the Assumed Liabilities. Notwithstanding that a claim for Damages may fall into multiple categories of this Section 10.03, a Seller Indemnitee may recover such Damages one time only. Seller shall take, and shall cause the other Seller Indemnitees to take, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto. This Section 10.03 shall not apply to Damages arising out of or as a result of Taxes. Section 10.04. Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) Seller’s aggregate maximum liability under Section 10.02 shall not exceed the Purchase Price, (b) Seller shall not have any liability for any otherwise indemnifiable Damage to the extent the Buyer Indemnitees have been otherwise compensated therefor through the adjustment to the Estimated Upfront Purchase Price under Section 2.05, (c) no party shall have any liability for an otherwise indemnifiable Damage that is contingent unless and until such contingent Damage becomes an actual Damage of the Indemnified Party and is due and payable, and (d) no party shall be liable for any Damages to the extent the Indemnified Party failed to mitigate such Damages in accordance with this Agreement and applicable Laws. Section 10.05. Claims. Any Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee claiming it may be entitled to indemnification under this Article X (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of each matter, action, cause of action, claim, demand, fact or other circumstances upon which a claim for indemnification (a “Claim”) hereunder may be based. Such notice shall contain, with respect to each Claim, such facts and information as are then reasonably available, including the estimated amount of Damages and the specific basis for indemnification hereunder. Failure to give prompt notice of a Claim hereunder shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. Section 10.06. Defense of Actions. (a) The Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s option and expense, to assume the complete defense of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand or assessment by any third party that is the basis for any Claim with full authority to conduct such defense and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same and the Indemnified Party will fully cooperate in such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party will not, in defense of any such action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand or assessment,
96 except with the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), consent to the entry of any Judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages and/or (ii) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the third-party claimant to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect thereof. After notice to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of such action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand or assessment, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Party only for such legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof at the request of the Indemnifying Party. As to those third-party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands or assessments with respect to which the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control of the defense, the Indemnified Party will afford the Indemnifying Party an opportunity to participate in such defense, at its cost and expense, and will consult with the Indemnifying Party prior to settling or otherwise disposing of any of the same. The Indemnified Party will not settle any Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and its Affiliates shall control the defense of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand or assessment related to any Specified Matter with full authority to conduct such defense and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same and Buyer will (and will cause its applicable Affiliates, including the Transferred Company, to) fully cooperate in such defense; provided that Seller will not, in defense of any such action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand or assessment, except with the consent of Buyer (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), consent to the entry of any Judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages and/or (ii) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the third-party claimant to the Transferred Company of a release from all liability in respect thereof. Buyer may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Specified Matter. Buyer shall not (or permit any of its Affiliates, including the Transferred Company, to) settle, or make any payment to a third party in respect of or otherwise compromise, any such action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand or assessment without the prior consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Section 10.07. Limitation, Exclusivity, No Duplicate Recovery. No Claim shall be made or have any validity unless the Indemnified Party shall have given written notice of such Claim to the Indemnifying Party prior to the date set forth in Section 10.01 for such Claim. This Article X and Sections 7.01(g), 7.06(d), 7.08, 8.01(l), 8.01(s) and Section 11.03(b) provide the exclusive means by which a party may, from and after the Closing, assert and remedy claims of any nature whatsoever relating to the Transactions (other than disputes related to the determination of the Final Upfront Purchase Price, which shall be governed by the terms of Section 2.05), including any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. Section 11.09 provides the exclusive means by which a party may bring actions against the other party under or with respect to this Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, each party hereby waives and releases any other remedies or claims that it may have against the other party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to the matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or relating to the Transferred Shares, the Transferred Company or the Transferred Assets, except that any limitations herein shall not apply (a) for the remedies 97 of injunctive relief or specific performance set forth herein; (b) in the event of Fraud, as to which the parties shall have all remedies available at Law or in equity; (c) with respect to the covenants that by their respective terms anticipate performance following the Closing Date; and (d) as otherwise expressly provided in any Ancillary Agreements. With respect to any Damages arising under this Agreement, Xxxxx agrees that it shall only seek such Damages from Seller, and Buyer hereby waives the right to seek Damages from or equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief, against any Affiliate of Seller or any director, officer or employee of Seller (or any of its Affiliates). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification under this Article X or under Section 7.06(d) with respect to any matter to the extent that such matter was reflected in the calculation of the adjustment to the Upfront Purchase Price, if any, pursuant to Section 2.05. Section 10.08. Calculation of Damages. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided pursuant to this Article X (or, in the case of any and all Tax matters, in Section 7.06(d)) shall be net of (a) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party, and (b) any insurance proceeds actually received as an offset against such Damages (including under the R&W Insurance Policy). The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any such indemnification or insurance proceeds (including under the R&W Insurance Policy) without regard to whether the Indemnified Party has been indemnified hereunder with respect to such Damages. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the R&W Insurance Policy would, in accordance with its terms, reasonably be expected to provide coverage with respect to any Damages for which the Buyer Indemnitees may also be entitled to be indemnified from Seller pursuant to Section 10.02 (or, in the case of any and all Tax matters, in Section 7.06(d)), then the Buyer Indemnitees will use commercially reasonable efforts to make, and subsequently seek recovery in respect of, a claim for recovery against the R&W Insurance Policy. In the event that a Buyer Indemnitee obtains recovery of any amount (after giving effect to the retention under the R&W Insurance Policy) for a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy for which it has already received indemnification from Seller, such Buyer Indemnitee shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) weeks of receipt of payment pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy, pay over such amount to Seller, less any costs and expenses incurred by such Buyer Indemnitee in the recovery thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Article X (or, in the case of any and all Tax matters, in Section 7.06(d)), in any case where the Indemnified Party subsequently recovers from third parties, including under the R&W Insurance Policy, any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which an Indemnifying Party has indemnified it pursuant to this Article X (or, in the case of any and all Tax matters, to Section 7.06(d)), such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of any amount previously so paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter. Section 10.09. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless there is no reasonable basis for doing so under the applicable Tax Law. 98 Article XI Miscellaneous Section 11.01. Waivers. At any time and from time to time prior to the Closing, the parties hereto may by written agreement signed by each party, (a) extend the time for, or waive in whole or in part, the performance of any obligation of any party hereto under this Agreement, (b) waive any inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or statement of any party hereto or (c) waive any condition or compliance with any covenant contained in this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party hereto 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 11.02. Modifications and Amendments. This Agreement shall not be altered or otherwise amended except pursuant to an instrument in writing executed and delivered by each of the parties hereto. Section 11.03. Assignability, Beneficiaries, Governing Law and Specific Enforcement. (a) This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns, but this Agreement shall not be assignable by any party hereto without the express written consent of the other parties hereto, which will not be unreasonably withheld; provided that, without such consent, either Buyer or Seller may assign its rights and obligations hereunder (i) to an Affiliate of Buyer or Seller, respectively, (ii) to a third party in connection with a sale or transfer (by means of a merger, stock sale or otherwise) of all or substantially all of Buyer’s business or Seller’s business, respectively, or (iii) as provided in Schedule 11.03(a); provided, further, that (x) no such assignment pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (iii) shall relieve such assigning party of its obligations under this Agreement and (y) in the case of any assignment by Xxxxx, such assignment shall, for clarity, be subject to Section 6.05(d). Other than as explicitly set forth herein, including in Sections 6.11, 10.02 and 10.03, nothing contained herein is intended to confer upon any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of New York without reference to the choice of law doctrine of such state. (b) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement without proof of actual damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity. Each party further agrees that (i) no other party hereto or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 11.03, and each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require 99 the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument and (ii) it will not oppose the granting of such remedy. Section 11.04. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other communication to be given hereunder by one party to another shall be in writing and delivered personally, or sent by postpaid registered or certified mail, or by email: if to Seller, addressed to: Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx Law Department One Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx Plaza New Brunswick, NJ 08933 Attn: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Email: xxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx.xxx with a copy to (which shall not constitute notice): Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP The New York Times Building 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 Attn: X.

100 Section 11.05. Headings. The Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning and interpretation of this Agreement. Section 11.06. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall be deemed to constitute the same Agreement. If any signature is delivered by email in portable document format (“PDF”), such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf the signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such PDF signature were an original thereof. Section 11.07. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules expressly contemplated hereby and/or attached hereto and the other agreements and certificates delivered in connection herewith including, subject to Section 7.09 of this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Transactions and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings between the parties. Before signing this Agreement the parties have had numerous conversations including preliminary discussions, formal negotiations and informal conversations at meals and social occasions, and have generated correspondence and other writings, in which the parties discussed the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement and their aspirations for success. In such conversations and writings, individuals representing the parties may have expressed their judgments and beliefs concerning the intentions, capabilities and practices of the parties, and may have forecasted future events. The parties recognize that such conversations and writings often involve an effort by both sides to be positive and optimistic about the prospects for the transaction. However, it is also recognized that all business transactions contain an element of risk, as do the Transactions, and that it is normal business practice to limit the legal obligations of contracting parties to only those promises and representations that are essential to their transaction so as to provide certainty as to their respective future rights and remedies. Accordingly, other than the Confidentiality Agreement entered into between the parties, the Transaction Documents are intended to define the full extent of the legally enforceable undertakings and representations of the parties hereto, and no promise or representation, written or oral, that is not set forth explicitly in such agreements is intended by either party to be legally binding. Each of the parties acknowledge that in deciding to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, none of them has relied upon any statements or representations, written or oral, other than those explicitly set forth herein or therein. Section 11.08. Payment of Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all costs and expenses associated with this Agreement and the Transactions, including the fees of counsel and accountants, shall be borne by the party incurring such expenses. Section 11.09. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waivers. (a) All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and any appellate court therefrom). Each of the parties hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern 101 District of New York (and any appellate court therefrom) for the purpose of any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto; provided that if federal jurisdiction is not available, each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction that is located in the City, County and State of New York (and any appellate court therefrom), and (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action is improper or that this Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by the above-named courts. (b) IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY. (c) IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, IN EACH CASE FROM THE OTHER PARTY HERETO (OR ANY AFFILIATE OF SUCH OTHER PARTY HERETO), EXCEPT THAT THE COURT SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO AWARD ANY RELIEF PROVIDED BY GOVERNING STATUTE (IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAIVER DOES NOT COVER ANY RIGHT TO INDEMNITY FOR PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED OR OTHERWISE INCURRED). (d) IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY CLAIM FOR PREJUDGMENT INTEREST FROM THE OTHER. Section 11.10. Survival of Certain Provisions. The provisions of this Agreement set forth in Sections 6.04, 7.09(a) and 9.03 and Article XI, and any remedies for the breach thereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Section 11.11. 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 11.12. Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement will be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement will be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion thus determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion to apply to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof only with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such determination is made. Section 11.13. Privileged Matters. (a) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP (the “Deal Counsel”) has acted as counsel to Seller and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Company) in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the 102 consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In that capacity, the Deal Counsel has engaged or may engage in communications with (i) other counsel to Seller or the Transferred Company (including internal counsel), (ii) Seller and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Company) and (iii) advisors and consultants to any of the foregoing that relate to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Deal Communications”). (b) Buyer consents and agrees to the Deal Counsel representing Seller and its Affiliates after the Closing, including with respect to disputes in which the interests of Seller and its Affiliates may be directly adverse to the interests of Buyer and its Affiliates, and even though the Deal Counsel may have represented the Transferred Company in a matter substantially related to any such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for the Transferred Company or any of its Affiliates. Xxxxx further consents and agrees to the use by the Deal Counsel and Seller and its Affiliates in connection with any such representation of any information known or obtained in connection with the representation described in Section 11.13(a) above. (c) In connection with the foregoing, Buyer irrevocably waives any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with (i) the Deal Counsel’s prior representation of the Transferred Company and (ii) the Deal Counsel’s representation of Seller and its Affiliates prior to and after the Closing. (d) Subject to Section 11.13(e), Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, acknowledge and agree that the information relating to or arising out of the legal advice or services that have been or will be provided prior to the Closing for the benefit of both (i) Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Company) and (ii) the Transferred Company, shall be subject to a shared privilege between Seller and such Affiliates (other than the Transferred Company), on the one hand, and the Transferred Company, on the other hand, and Seller and such Affiliates and the Transferred Company shall have equal right to assert all such shared privileges in connection with privileged information under any Law and no such shared privilege may be waived after Closing by (A) Seller or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of Buyer or the Transferred Company or (B) by the Transferred Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates without the prior written consent of Seller. (e) Buyer acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, stockholders, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that all Deal Communications shall be retained, owned and controlled collectively by Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Company) and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or, following the Closing, the Transferred Company, even if such communications are in the possession of the Transferred Company. All Deal Communications that are subject to the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product privilege (the “Privileged Deal Communications”) shall remain privileged after the Closing, with the privilege belonging solely to Seller and not Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates. (f) In the event that, following the Closing, a dispute arises between Buyer or the Transferred Company and a third party, Buyer and the Transferred Company shall assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of Privileged Deal Communications to such third party. In the event that, following the Closing, Buyer or the Transferred Company 103 is asked by any third party, for example in connection with a proceeding, to access or obtain any of the Privileged Deal Communications, Buyer shall (or shall cause the Transferred Company to) promptly (and, in any event, within three business days) notify Seller in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 11.13(f)). Xxxxx further agrees to use (and to cause the Transferred Company to use) commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller in connection with any attempt to prevent the disclosure of any Privileged Deal Communications to a third party. (g) Xxxxx agrees that it will not access, use, or seek to obtain the Deal Communications in any way. In furtherance of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, Seller, the Transferred Company or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives may take action to protect from access or remove from the premises of the Transferred Company (or any offsite back-up or other facilities) any Deal Communications, including by segregating, encrypting, copying, deleting, erasing, exporting or otherwise taking possession of any Deal Communications. In the event that, following the Closing, any Deal Communication remains accessible to Buyer or the Transferred Company, Xxxxx agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates or representatives will attempt to gain access to, view or use any Deal Communication for any purpose.
