NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
CONTRIBUTION; ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES
Section 1.1 Contribution of DPP Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Delta shall cause the DPP Share Sellers to contribute, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Newco, and Newco shall acquire and accept from such DPP Share Sellers, all right, title and interest of such DPP Share Seller in and to all of the shares of capital stock and other equity interests in each of the Transferred DPP Companies (the “DPP Shares”), unless such DPP Shares are held by another Transferred DPP Company, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.
Section 1.2 Contribution of Equity.

2
Section 1.3 Assumption of Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Newco shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to assume, agree to pay, discharge and perform when due, all of the Assumed Liabilities and none of the Retained Liabilities.
Section 1.4 Consultation Process.
(a) The parties hereto acknowledge that, under the Netherlands Works Councils Act (Wet op de ondernemingsraden), the Dutch Works Council will need to be informed and render advice (the “Works Council Process”) and, under the Netherlands Merger Code (SER-besluit fusiegedragsregels 2000), the relevant trade unions will need to provide their opinion and the Social Economic Council (SER) will need to be notified (such processes of informing, consulting and rendering of advice, collectively, the “Consultation Process”) with respect to the intended transfer of the Dutch Business Employees and the sale of the share capital or other equity interests of DSM Pharma Chemicals Venlo B.V., DSM BioSolutions B.V. and DSM Biologics Company B.V. (collectively, the “Dutch Entities” and, such share capital or other equity interests, collectively, the “Dutch Interests”). Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless and until Delta has executed and delivered to Newco the Acceptance Notice, (i) the provisions of Sections 1.1, 1.3, 7.4(vi), and 7.16(a)(ii) and the third sentence of Section 7.16(b) shall not be effective with respect to the Dutch Interests pending completion of the Works Council Process (provided that the other provisions of this Agreement, including Section 7.1, shall continue to apply to the Dutch Interests after the Closing Date and shall not terminate until the transactions contemplated by the Offer Letter attached as Exhibit G hereto (the “Dutch Offer Letter”) are consummated or such letter expires or is terminated in accordance with its terms), (ii) for the purpose of Sections 1.1, 1.3, 7.4(vi) and 7.16(a)(ii) and the third sentence of Section 7.16(b) (and only such sections or portions thereof) the Dutch Interests shall not be considered DPP Shares and the Dutch Entities shall not be considered Transferred DPP Companies, (iii) the employment of the Dutch Business Employees will not be transferred to the Dutch Entities or otherwise transferred to Newco in accordance with this Agreement (whether as a Transferred DPP Company Employee or an Offer Employee) and (iv) the principal amount of the Delta Note shall be reduced by the Dutch Purchase Price.
(b) On the terms and conditions set forth in the Dutch Offer Letter, including the price specified therein (the “Dutch Purchase Price”), Newco has irrevocably offered to acquire the Dutch Interests and to have the provisions of Sections 1.1, 1.3, 7.4(vi), and 7.16(a)(ii) and the third sentence of Section 7.16(b) apply to such Dutch Interests following completion of the Works Council Process. Following completion of the Works Council Process by Delta, upon delivery to Newco of the executed Acceptance Notice attached as Schedule A to the Dutch Offer Letter (the “Acceptance Notice”), Sections 1.1, 1.3, 7.4(vi), and 7.16(a)(ii) and the third sentence of Section 7.16(b) shall become effective with respect to the Dutch Interests, the Dutch Interests shall be included in the DPP Shares and the Dutch Entities shall be included in the Transferred DPP Companies as though they had always been so included, the employment of the Dutch Business Employees who are not already employed by the Dutch Entities shall be
3
transferred to the Dutch Entities or otherwise transferred to Newco in accordance with this Agreement, and the principal amount of the Delta Note shall no longer be reduced by the Dutch Purchase Price.
(c) Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.21(d), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) they shall reasonably cooperate with one another (including by providing information, being available for consultation or otherwise) in connection with the Consultation Process, with the parties hereto being committed to provide such cooperation and assistance as may be reasonably required from them by Delta or any Dutch Entity (including by providing such forward looking information as may be relevant and necessary in order to obtain the advice from the Dutch Works Council); provided, that Delta remains fully responsible for conducting the Consultation Process in accordance with the Dutch Offer Letter; (ii) none of the parties hereto has taken any final decision concerning the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in relation to the transfer of the Dutch Business Employees or the sale of the Dutch Interests, such final decision being subject to the Works Council Process to the extent not already fulfilled; (iii) Delta has the intention to decide to accept the Dutch Offer Letter and the conditions set out therein, upon having fulfilled all the necessary requirements relating to regulatory procedures, mandatory notifications (such as the SER-Fusie-en Gedragrsregels) and the Works Council Process and Delta shall promptly after the date hereof bring its intention forward to the relevant authorities and bodies councils (to the extent not already brought forward) and on short notice initiate the consultation of the Dutch Works Council and other representative bodies (to the extent not already initiated); and (iv) reasonable changes to certain provisions of this Agreement may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the fulfillment of the Consultation Process, it being understood, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to impose any obligation on any of the parties hereto to consummate or procure the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement concerning the Dutch Interests if fulfillment of the Consultation Process would require such party to agree to any changes, obligations or commitments which would not be acceptable to such party (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
ARTICLE II
CONSIDERATION; CLOSING
Section 2.1 Consideration.
(a) Newco acknowledges and agrees that prior to the Closing a to-be-formed private company with limited liability under the laws of The Netherlands identified as “DSM Newco” on Section 4.3 of the Delta Disclosure Schedule (the “Note Issuer”), will issue the Delta Note in a principal amount equal to $200,000,000, decreased pursuant to Section 1.4(a) unless the Acceptance Notice is delivered by Delta to Newco (the “Original Principal Amount”), to Delta. At or prior to the Closing, Newco or Delta shall cause the Note Issuer to adjust the Original Principal Amount of the Delta Note such that the principal amount of the Delta Note will be equal to the Original Principal Amount minus (i) the Net Indebtedness, if any, that is included in the Assumed Liabilities (the “Indebtedness Amount”) plus (ii) the Net Cash, if any, that is held by the Transferred DPP Companies and their respective Subsidiaries as of the
4
Effective Time (the “Cash Amount”) plus (iii) the Estimated Working Capital Overage, if any, minus (iv) the Estimated Working Capital Underage, if any (in each case, as determined pursuant to Section 2.3), in accordance with the Closing Balance Sheet Principles. Following the Closing, Newco shall cause the Note Issuer to make such other adjustments to the principal amount of the Delta Note in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, in consideration for the contribution of the DPP Shares (the “Delta Contribution”), Newco shall (A) issue to Delta Newco Interests, constituting 49% of the Newco Interests at Closing, in accordance with the Newco Partnership Agreement, and (B) cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to assume, agree to pay, discharge and perform when due, the Assumed Liabilities.
(c) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, in consideration for the JLL Contribution, Newco shall issue to JLL Holdco Newco Interests, constituting 51% of the Newco Interests at Closing, in accordance with the Newco Partnership Agreement.
Section 2.2 The Closing.
(a) The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IX, be held at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP at Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (or such other place or places as the parties may mutually agree), on the same day as the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.” Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, and notwithstanding the actual occurrence of the Closing at any particular time, the Closing shall be deemed to occur and be effective, in the United States, as of 11:59 p.m. New York time as of the calendar day immediately preceding the Closing Date and, in any jurisdiction outside of the United States, as of the time at which the books of the DPP Business are normally closed in such jurisdiction, in each case, on the calendar day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”). All transactions taking place at the Closing shall be deemed to occur simultaneously.
(b) On the Closing Date, Delta shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Newco the following (except as otherwise provided in Section 7.17):
(i) certificates (where applicable) representing the DPP Shares, unless such DPP Shares are held by another Transferred DPP Company, duly endorsed in blank (or accompanied by a duly executed transfer power in blank) and in form for transfer to Newco;
(ii) the Related Agreements, duly executed by Delta or its Subsidiaries (to the extent each is a party thereto), to the extent not executed and delivered by such parties prior to the Closing;
5
(iii) the Newco Partnership Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement, duly executed by Delta, to the extent not executed or delivered by Delta prior to the Closing;
(iv) such other instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by Newco, in a form reasonably agreed upon by the parties, to reflect the transfer of the DPP Shares; and
(v) all other documents expressly required to be delivered by Delta or its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement or the Related Agreements.
(c) On the Closing Date, JLL Holdco shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Newco the following:
(i) the cash portion of the JLL Contribution in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account or accounts at such bank or banks specified by Newco at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; and
(ii) the Newco Partnership Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement, duly executed by each of JLL Holdco and the GP, to the extent not executed and delivered by JLL Holdco and the GP prior to the Closing.
(d) On the Closing Date, Newco shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Delta the following:
(i) one or more certificates or evidence of book entry of 49% of the Newco Interests in the name of Delta in accordance with the Newco Partnership Agreement;
(ii) the Related Agreements, duly executed by Newco or its Affiliates (to the extent each is a party thereto), to the extent not executed and delivered by such parties prior to the Closing;
(iii) such other instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by Delta, in a form reasonably agreed upon by the parties, to reflect the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities or the transfer of the DPP Shares; and
(iv) all other documents expressly required to be delivered by Newco or its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement or the Related Agreements.
(e) On the Closing Date, Newco shall deliver or cause to be delivered to JLL Holdco one or more certificates or evidence of book entry of 51% of the Newco Interests in the name of JLL Holdco in accordance with the Newco Partnership Agreement.
6
Section 2.3 Delta Post-Closing Adjustment.
(a) Preliminary Determination. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Delta shall prepare and deliver to Newco a reasonably detailed statement setting forth its good faith estimate of (i) the Net Working Capital of the DPP Business (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (ii) the resulting Estimated Working Capital Overage or Estimated Working Capital Underage, (iii) the Indebtedness Amount (the “Estimated Net Indebtedness”), if any, and (iv) the Cash Amount (the “Estimated Net Cash”), if any, in each case, as of the Effective Time and as estimated in accordance with the Closing Balance Sheet Principles; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Newco shall not have any right to (x) delay Closing or delivery of the Newco Interests constituting 49% of the Newco Interests in the name of Delta as a result of any disagreement with such estimates or (y) dispute such estimates (other than following the Closing as provided in Section 2.3(b)). For purposes of the calculation of Net Working Capital of the DPP Business, Indebtedness Amount and Cash Amount, all DPP Shares, and DPP Assets shall be deemed to have been conveyed as of the Effective Time (regardless of any delayed transfer pursuant to Section 7.17) and shall be included, to the extent applicable, in the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amounts. It is the intention of the parties that the Final Net Indebtedness (not taking into account lease obligations required to be capitalized in accordance with IFRS or Indebtedness outstanding under the Delta Note) will be zero ($0).
(b) Post-Closing Determination.
(i) As soon as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Newco shall prepare and deliver to Delta the following (the “Preliminary Adjustment Statement”): (A) the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, prepared by Newco in accordance with the Closing Balance Sheet Principles; (B) a certificate of an executive officer of Newco certifying that the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet has been prepared in accordance with the Closing Balance Sheet Principles; and (C) a reasonably detailed calculation by Newco of Net Working Capital of the DPP Business, the Cash Amount and the Indebtedness Amount, in each case, based on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Adjustment Amounts”). Delta shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to, and shall cause the other DPP Share Sellers to use their reasonable best efforts to, cause their respective accountants to, cooperate with and assist Newco in the preparation of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, including by providing reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to their respective books, records and work papers and making available personnel to the extent reasonably required in connection therewith; provided, however, that the accountants of Delta or any DPP Share Sellers shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to Newco or its Representatives except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Person has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.
(ii) If Delta disagrees with Newco’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment Amounts or believes the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet contains errors or was not prepared in accordance with the Closing Balance Sheet Principles, Delta shall
7
promptly, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after receiving the Preliminary Adjustment Statement (the “Review Period”), deliver to Newco written notice describing its dispute by specifying those items or amounts as to which Delta disagrees, together with Delta’s determination of such disputed items and amounts (a “Dispute Notice”). If Delta either gives notice that it agrees with Newco’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment Amounts or confirms that the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet is accurate and prepared in accordance with the Closing Balance Sheet Principles or fails to deliver a Dispute Notice within the Review Period, the parties agree that the Preliminary Adjustment Statement shall be deemed to set forth the Closing Adjustment Amounts with respect to those items that have been agreed upon or for which Delta shall have failed to deliver a Dispute Notice (and shall constitute the Final Adjustment Amounts) and the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed to be accurate and prepared in accordance with the Closing Balance Sheet Principles. If Delta delivers a Dispute Notice to Newco within the Review Period, Delta and Newco will use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute during the thirty (30)-day period (the “Resolution Period”) commencing on the date Delta delivers the Dispute Notice to Newco (and all such discussions related thereto shall be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule and evidence of such discussions shall not be admissible in any future proceedings between the parties). If Newco and Delta are not able to resolve all disputed items within the Resolution Period, then either party shall have the right to submit the items in dispute following the expiration of the Resolution Period to an internationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to the parties (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall be given reasonable access to all relevant records of the DPP Business to resolve only those matters included in the Dispute Notice and still in dispute at the end of the Resolution Period. Each of Newco and Delta will be afforded an opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such matters with the Accounting Firm; provided, that copies of any materials provided to the Accounting Firm shall be contemporaneously delivered to the other party and the other party or its Representatives shall be given a reasonable opportunity to participate in any such discussions with the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall calculate, based solely on the written submissions of Newco, on the one hand, and Delta, on the other hand, and not by independent investigation, the matters included in the Dispute Notice and still in dispute at the end of the Resolution Period, and shall be instructed that its calculation (A) must be made in accordance with the standards and definitions in this Agreement (including the Closing Balance Sheet Principles), and (B) with respect to each item in dispute, must be within the range of values established for such amount as determined by reference to the value assigned to such amount by Delta in the Dispute Notice and by Newco in the Preliminary Adjustment Statement. The Accounting Firm shall submit such calculation to Delta and Newco as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after all issues in dispute are submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination by the Accounting Firm of the Closing Adjustment Amounts and any disputed item in the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, as set forth in a written notice delivered to Newco and Delta by the Accounting Firm in accordance with this Agreement, will be conclusive and binding on the parties. The Closing Adjustment Amounts as determined after all disputes have been resolved in accordance with this Section 2.3(b)(ii)
8
are referred to herein collectively as the as the “Final Adjustment Amounts” and individually as the “Final Net Working Capital,” the “Final Net Indebtedness” and the “Final Net Cash,” respectively.
(iii) Newco shall pay the fees and expenses of such Accounting Firm.
(iv) In connection with Delta’s review of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, Newco shall (i) provide reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to its employees and all work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared or reviewed by Newco or any of its employees, accountants or other Representatives during the course of Delta’s review which are relevant to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement (which access shall be provided promptly after request by Delta or its Representatives) and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause Newco’s independent accountant to communicate and cooperate with Delta and its Representatives with respect to such review; provided, however, that the accountants of Newco shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to Delta or its Representatives except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Person has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.
(v) The process set forth in Section 2.3(b) shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties for any disputes related to the Closing Adjustment Amounts or the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet.
(c) Post-Closing Adjustment.
(i) If (A) the Final Working Capital Overage, if any, minus the Final Working Capital Underage, if any, which may be a positive or negative number, plus the Final Net Cash, minus the Final Net Indebtedness, exceeds (B) the Estimated Working Capital Overage, if any, minus the Estimated Working Capital Underage, if any, plus the Estimated Net Cash, minus the Estimated Net Indebtedness (the amount of such excess being the “Excess Amount”), then Newco shall cause the Note Issuer to increase the principal amount of the Delta Note by the Excess Amount.
(ii) If (A) the Final Working Capital Overage, if any, minus the Final Working Capital Underage, if any, which may be a positive or negative number, plus the Final Net Cash, minus the Final Net Indebtedness, is less than (B) the Estimated Working Capital Overage, if any, minus the Estimated Working Capital Underage, if any, plus the Estimated Net Cash, minus the Estimated Net Indebtedness (the amount of such deficit being the “Deficit Amount”), then Newco shall cause the Note Issuer to decrease the principal amount of the Delta Note by the Deficit Amount.

Section 2.4 Biologics Earnout.
(a) Earnout Determination. Notwithstanding the consideration paid for the Delta Contribution as set forth in Section 2.1(b), upon an Exit Event, Newco shall prepare and deliver to Delta a reasonably detailed statement (the “Earnout Statement”) setting forth its good faith calculation of (i) the EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending immediately prior to the consummation of such Exit Event (the “LTM EBITDA”) attributable to the Biologics Business, calculated in accordance with the definition of Consolidated EBITDA on a Pro Forma Basis set forth in the credit facility of Newco or its Subsidiaries existing at such time, and (ii) the product of (x) the amount, if any, by which such LTM EBITDA attributable to the Biologics Business exceeds $10,000,000 (such excess, if any, the “Biologics Earnout EBITDA”), multiplied by (y) (I) in the case of an Exit Event triggered by clause (X) of the definition of Exit Event, the multiple of EBITDA derived from such Exit Event, or (II) in the case of an Exit Event triggered by clause (Y)(i) of the definition of Exit Event, the multiple of EBITDA implied by the volume weighted average trading price of the Equity Securities (as defined in the Newco Partnership Agreement) of the Partnership Offeror (as defined in the Newco Partnership Agreement) during the six-month period ending immediately prior to the date of such Exit Event (the “Earnout Payment”).
(i) If Delta disagrees with Newco’s calculation of the LTM EBITDA attributable to the Biologics Business or the Earnout Payment, Delta shall promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receiving the Earnout Statement (the “Earnout Review Period”), deliver to Newco written notice describing its dispute by specifying those items or amounts as to which Delta disagrees, together with Delta’s determination of such disputed items and amounts (an “Earnout Dispute Notice”). If Delta either gives notice that it agrees with Newco’s calculation set forth in the Earnout Statement or fails to deliver a Dispute Notice within the Earnout Review Period, the parties agree that the Earnout Statement shall be deemed to set forth the LTM EBITDA attributable to the Biologics Business and the Earnout Payment. If Delta delivers an Earnout Dispute Notice to Newco within the Earnout Review Period, Delta and Newco will use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute during the thirty (30)-day period (the “Earnout Resolution Period”) commencing on the date Delta delivers the Earnout Dispute Notice to Newco (and all such discussions related thereto shall be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule and evidence of such discussions shall not be admissible in any future proceedings between the parties). If Newco and Delta are not able to resolve all disputed items within the Earnout Resolution Period, then either party shall have the right to submit the items in dispute following the expiration of the Earnout Resolution Period to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall be given reasonable access to all relevant records of Newco to calculate the items included in the Earnout Dispute Notice and still in dispute at the end of the Earnout Resolution Period. Each of Newco and Delta will be afforded an opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such matters with the Accounting Firm; provided, that copies of any materials provided to the Accounting Firm shall be contemporaneously delivered to the other party and the other party or its Representatives shall be given a reasonable opportunity to participate in any such discussions with the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall calculate, based solely on the written submissions of Newco,
10
on the one hand, and Delta, on the other hand, and not by independent investigation, the items included in the Earnout Dispute Notice and still in dispute at the end of the Earnout Resolution Period, and shall be instructed that its calculation (A) must be made in accordance with the definition of EBITDA set forth in the credit facility of Newco or its Subsidiaries existing at the date of the Earnout Statement, and (B) with respect to each item in dispute, must be within the range of values established for such amount as determined by reference to the value assigned to such amount by Delta in the Earnout Dispute Notice and by Newco in the Earnout Statement. The Accounting Firm shall submit such calculation to Delta and Newco as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after all issues in dispute are submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination by the Accounting Firm of the LTM EBITDA attributable to the Biologics Business and the Earnout Payment, as set forth in a written notice delivered to Newco and Delta by the Accounting Firm in accordance with this Agreement, will be binding and conclusive on the parties.
(ii) Newco shall pay the fees and expenses of such Accounting Firm.
(b) In connection with Delta’s review of the Earnout Statement, Newco shall (i) provide reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to its employees and all work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared or reviewed by Newco or any of its employees, accountants or other Representatives during the course of Delta’s review which are relevant to the Earnout Statement (which access shall be provided promptly after request by Delta or its Representatives) and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause Newco’s independent accountant to communicate and cooperate with Delta and its Representatives with respect to such review; provided, however, that the accountants of Newco shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to Delta or its Representatives except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Person has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.
(c) The process set forth in Section 2.4(a) shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties for any disputes related to LTM EBITDA attributable to the Biologics Business, the Biologics Earnout EBITDA and the Earnout Payment.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Newco sells or otherwise disposes of the Biologics Business on a stand-alone basis, other than in connection with an Exit Event or to a Subsidiary of the Partnership, the aggregate consideration received by Newco in respect of such sale or other disposition in excess of $100,000,000 shall constitute the Earnout Payment with respect to such sale or other disposition of the Biologics Business and shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.4(f).
(e) During the period between the Closing and the date of such sale of the Biologics Business or Exit Event, Newco will act in good faith to: (i) operate the Biologics Business in a manner consistent with its ordinary course of business (except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement) and as a distinct division or financial reporting segment, with separate books and records maintained in accordance with GAAP that are sufficient to allow
11
independent verification of the specific EBITDA contribution of the Biologics Business; and (ii) not enter into any transaction with the intent to adversely affect the determination of the Earnout Payment.
(f) Upon final determination of the Earnout Payment in accordance with Section 2.4(a) or (d), Newco shall pay the Earnout Payment, if any, as follows: 75% of such amount to Delta and 25% of such amount to JLL Holdco, in each case, at the later of (i) the time of such sale of the Biologics Business or Exit Event or (ii) within ten (10) days of such determination, by wire transfer in cash of immediately available funds to an account designated by each of Delta or JLL Holdco, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the transaction giving rise to the Earnout Payment is a transaction as described in clause (Y)(i) of the definition of Exit Event, in lieu of the foregoing cash payments to JLL Holdco and Delta, Newco shall issue a promissory note to each of JLL Holdco and Delta in the principal amount equal to its respective portion of the Earnout Payment, such notes to be on substantially the same terms as the Delta Note, but with a maturity date of the later of the maturity date of the Delta Note or a Change of Control (as defined in the Newco Partnership Agreement).
ARTICLE III
ALLOCATION OF SPECIFIED LIABILITIES
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Related Agreement, each of JLL Holdco, Delta and Newco have agreed to resolve certain Liabilities following the Closing as set forth below:
Section 3.1 Schedule 3.1 Liabilities. Newco shall manage and fund all costs and expenses arising out of or related to each of the matters set forth on Section 3.1 of the Delta Disclosure Schedule as such costs and expenses are incurred. Promptly following the end of each fiscal quarter, Newco shall prepare and deliver to Delta a good faith calculation of the aggregate operating costs and expenses (excluding Severance Costs paid by Newco to Delta in accordance with Section 7.21(b)) incurred by Newco with respect to each such matter for such period. Delta shall pay to Newco, by wire transfer in cash of immediately available funds to an account designated by Newco, all such operating costs and expenses within 30 days promptly following receipt of notice thereof, up to an aggregate amount equal to the “cap” applicable to each matter as set forth on Section 3.1 of the Delta Disclosure Schedule; provided that Newco shall be responsible for any and all costs and expenses with respect to each such matter after Delta has paid to Newco an aggregate amount equal to the cap applicable to such matter as set forth on Section 3.1 of the Delta Disclosure Schedule. Newco shall manage each of the matters set forth on Section 3.1 of the Delta Disclosure Schedule in a reasonably cost-effective manner substantially consistent with the restructuring plans with respect to such matters which have been approved prior to the date hereof.
Section 3.2 Certain Facility Closing Costs and Litigation Expenses. Newco shall manage and fund (i) all costs and expenses arising out of or related to the restructuring, wind-down or closing of certain facilities set forth on Section 3.2(a) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule and (ii) the costs and expenses (not including any costs related to the settlement or judgment in respect of such litigation) arising out of or related to the resolution of the litigation
12
matter set forth on Section 3.2(b) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule (the matter described on Section 3.2(a)(i) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule, the “Delta Matter” and the matters described on Sections 3.2(a)(ii) and 3.2(b) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule, the “JLL Holdco Matters”). Promptly following the Section 3.2 Expiration Date, Newco shall calculate the aggregate costs and expenses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by Newco with respect to the Delta Matter (net of the proceeds received by Newco from the sale or other disposition of the facility described in Section 3.2(a)(i) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule) and the JLL Holdco Matters and shall adjust the principal amount of the Delta Note as follows: the adjustment to the principal amount of the Delta Note pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be equal to the sum (whether a positive or negative number) of (I) such aggregate costs and expenses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by Newco with respect to the JLL Holdco Matters up to the “cap” applicable to such matters as set forth on Sections 3.2(a)(ii) and 3.2(b) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule less (II) such aggregate costs and expenses (excluding Severance Costs paid by Newco to Delta in accordance with Section 7.21(b)) incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by Newco with respect to the Delta Matter up to the respective “cap” applicable to such matter as set forth on Section 3.2(a)(i) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule (net of the proceeds received by Newco from the sale or other disposition of the facility described in Section 3.2(a)(i) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule). If the foregoing is a positive amount, then Newco shall cause the Note Issuer to increase the principal amount of the Delta Note by such amount. If the foregoing is a negative amount, then Newco shall cause the Note Issuer to decrease the principal amount of the Delta Note by such amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Cash Equivalents of Newco and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, and availability for borrowings under any revolving credit facility for the benefit of Newco or its Subsidiaries, is less than $200,000,000 at any time prior to the Section 3.2 Expiration Date (a “Liquidity Issue”), upon notice from Newco to JLL Holdco and Delta, in lieu of adjusting the principal amount of the Delta Note, each of JLL Holdco and Delta shall reimburse the costs and expenses previously incurred by Newco since the Closing Date on the JLL Holdco Matters and Delta Matter, respectively, within twenty (20) Business Days of such notice (it being agreed that Delta’s reimbursement requirement shall be net of the proceeds received by Newco from the sale or other disposition of the facility described in Section 3.2(a)(i) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule) and shall reimburse Newco quarterly thereafter until the Section 3.2 Expiration Date for the costs and expenses arising out of or related to the JLL Holdco Matters and the Delta Matter, respectively, up to the applicable cap as set forth on Section 3.2 of the Delta Disclosure Schedule; provided that all such amounts shall be reimbursed by Newco to JLL Holdco and Delta, as applicable, at such time as Newco is no longer subject to a Liquidity Issue (whether occurring prior to or after the Section 3.2 Expiration Date, but prior to a Delta Note Transfer) and Newco shall subsequently cause the Note Issuer to adjust the principal amount of the Delta Note as provided in this Section 3.2.
Section 3.3 Pension Plan Liabilities. Following the Closing, Delta and JLL Holdco shall conduct a valuation of the Assets and Liabilities of the pension plans of the DPP Business and Pi pursuant to and in accordance with the Benefit Plan Term Sheet attached as Exhibit F. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Newco shall cause the Note Issuer to adjust the principal amount of the Delta Note in accordance with the Benefit Plan Term Sheet attached as Exhibit F.
13
Section 3.4 Tax Matters. If and to the extent that the costs described in Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3, the economic cost of which is to be borne by Delta, would, if paid by Newco or any Subsidiary of Newco, be deductible for tax purposes, then the parties shall cooperate in good faith to structure the mechanism by which Delta economically bears such cost in a manner that maximizes, to the extent possible, the tax benefits to Newco and its Subsidiaries (for example, by Newco incurring such costs and by adjusting downward the principal amount of the Delta Note), in which case the cost to be borne by Delta (e.g., the downward adjustment to the principal amount of the Delta Note) shall be the after-tax cost to Newco and its Subsidiaries.

25
(A) the fair market value of the Assets of each funded Foreign Pension Plan, (B) the collective liability of each insurer for any Foreign Pension Plan funded through insurance or (C) the book reserve established for any Foreign Pension Plan, in any case together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations with respect to all current and former participants in such plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to such Foreign Pension Plan and no transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall cause such Assets, insurance obligations or reserves, together with any such accrued contributions, to be less than such benefit obligations; (ii) each Foreign Benefit Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable Governmental Authorities; and (iii) all contributions required to be made under any applicable Law, including but not limited to the Commonwealth of Australia Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Xxx 0000, have been made for or on behalf of each Business Employee as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.

No party shall 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 or withdraw its notification and report form pursuant to the HSR Act or any other filing made pursuant to any Regulatory Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless each other party has given its prior written consent to such extension or delay; and

Prior to the Effective Time, Delta shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (including any of the Transferred DPP Companies or their respective Subsidiaries) to pay in full or otherwise cancel (to the extent the cancellation of such intercompany account does not have any material adverse Tax consequence on Newco or its Subsidiaries in which event such intercompany account shall be paid in full) all outstanding
46
intercompany accounts, whether payables or receivables, between Delta or any of its Retained Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of the Transferred DPP Companies or their Subsidiaries, on the other hand.

With respect to any Delta LCs that remain outstanding after the Closing Date, Newco shall (i) indemnify and hold harmless Delta Indemnified Parties for any drawing under any such letters of credit and any fees in connection with the issuance and maintenance thereof, and (ii) without the prior written consent of Delta, Newco and its Subsidiaries shall not, and shall not permit any of the Transferred DPP Companies or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, enter into renew or extend the term of, amend so as to increase its obligations under, or transfer to a third party other than Newco or its Subsidiaries, any loan, lease, Contract or other obligation in connection with which Delta or any Retained Subsidiary has issued any letters of credit which remain outstanding. Newco shall replace such Delta LC’s in an aggregate amount up to $15,000,000 no later than six (6) months following the Closing Date (provided that the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon alternative solutions); provided that following such period Delta shall have the right to terminate such Delta LCs without liability to Newco. The parties hereto agree that neither Delta nor any of the Retained Subsidiaries will have any obligation to renew any letters of credit issued on behalf of any Transferred DPP Company (or any Subsidiary thereof) or the DPP Business after the expiration of any such letter of credit.
50
(c) For purposes of this Section 7.8, “commercially reasonable best efforts” shall not require any Person to, or to cause any of its Subsidiaries to, make or accelerate any payment under any loan, lease, Contract or other obligation for which Delta or any Retained Subsidiary is or may be liable under any Delta Guarantee or Delta LC prior to the date such payment is due.
Section 7.9 Post-Closing Access to Information. For a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date, except as prohibited by applicable Law, Delta and Newco shall, subject to compliance by the other with the provisions of Section 7.12 and any Related Agreements, afford to each other and to each other’s Representatives reasonable access and duplicating rights (with copying costs to be borne by the requesting party) during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to all financial, Tax, and other books and records, documents and other information (collectively, “Information”) within the knowledge, possession or control of such party or its Affiliates solely to the extent relating to (a) in the case of requests by Newco, the DPP Business, Transferred DPP Companies (and their Subsidiaries), DPP Assets, Assumed Liabilities or Transferred Employees and (b) in the case of requests by Delta, the Excluded Businesses, the Excluded Assets or the Retained Liabilities, insofar in each case as such access is reasonably required by Delta or Newco or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates for legitimate business reasons, including litigation, government investigations, financial and Tax reporting purposes, and does not violate any applicable Law or any confidentiality obligations applicable to Delta or Newco or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as the case may be (and shall use reasonable efforts to cause Persons or firms possessing relevant Information to give similar access) and, to the extent practicable, such Information is identified by the requesting party with reasonable specificity; provided, however, that no party shall be required to disclose any Information if (i) it believes in good faith that doing so presents a significant risk, based on advice of counsel (which can be inside counsel provided such advice is in writing) of resulting in a loss of the ability to successfully assert a claim of Privilege or (ii) Delta or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Newco or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, are adverse parties in a litigation (other than a litigation with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement) and such information is reasonably pertinent thereto; provided, further, that, in the case of clause (i) above, the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate in seeking to find a way to allow disclosure of such information without resulting in a loss of the ability to successfully assert a claim of Privilege; provided, further, that Delta and its Affiliates shall not be required to provide Newco or its Representatives with any information related to the Transaction Process or Delta’s or its Representatives’ evaluation thereof, including projections, financial or other information related thereto other than projections, financial or other information prepared in the ordinary course of the DPP Business without being primarily prepared for the Transaction Process. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Information may be requested under this Section 7.9 for audit and accounting purposes and in connection with Actions, as well as for purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations.
Section 7.10 Production of Witnesses and Individuals. From and after the Closing Date, each of the parties shall use and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use
51
reasonable efforts to make available to each other, upon written request, its officers, directors, employees and agents for fact finding, consultation and interviews and as witnesses to the extent that any such Person may reasonably be required in connection with any Actions in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved relating to the conduct of the DPP Business or the Excluded Businesses. Delta and Newco agree to reimburse each other for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (other than officers’ or employees’ salaries) incurred by the other in connection with providing individuals and witnesses pursuant to this Section 7.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall not apply to Actions brought between Delta and its Affiliates (but not including the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and Newco, JLL Holdco and their respective Affiliates (including after the Closing Date, the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries) on the other hand.
Section 7.11 Retention of Records. Except when a longer retention period is otherwise required by Law or agreed to in writing, including as set forth in Section 8.7, Delta and the Transferred DPP Companies and their respective Subsidiaries shall retain, in accordance with their respective records control schedule policy existing from time to time, all Information relating to the DPP Business and the Excluded Businesses, respectively. The parties hereto agree that upon written request from the other that certain Information relating to the DPP Business or the transactions contemplated hereby be retained in connection with an Action, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and not to destroy or dispose of such Information without the consent of the requesting party.
Section 7.12 Confidentiality.
(a) For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, except as otherwise expressly provided in any Related Agreement, Delta shall hold and shall cause its Affiliates to hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to hold, in strict confidence and not to disclose, release or use without the prior written consent of Newco, any and all DPP Confidential Information; provided, that Delta may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, DPP Confidential Information (i) to its Representatives who have a need to know such information and are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the parties hereto and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations Delta will be responsible, (ii) for audit or accounting purposes and in connection with any litigation, government investigations, financial and Tax reporting purposes, (iii) if Delta, its Affiliates or its Representatives are compelled to disclose any such DPP Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or any stock exchange rule or regulation or, in the opinion of legal counsel including in house counsel, by other requirements of Law, or (iv) to Delta’s Representatives with respect to Delta’s capacity as a limited partner of Newco or in their capacity as directors of the GP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of DPP Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (iii) above, Delta shall to the extent practicable promptly notify Newco of the existence of such request or demand and shall provide Newco a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which both parties will reasonably cooperate in obtaining (each at their own expense). In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, Delta or its Affiliates or Representatives shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the DPP Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed. As used
52
in this Section 7.12, “DPP Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary technical, economic, environmental, operational, financial and other business Information or material of Newco and its Subsidiaries which, prior to or following the Closing Date, is or has been in the possession of Delta and its Affiliates, whether by operation or conduct of the DPP Business or otherwise or has been disclosed by Newco or its Affiliates in written, oral (including by recording), electronic, or visual form to, or otherwise has come into the possession of, Delta, in each case including pursuant to the access provisions of Section 7.9 hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or any Related Agreement, in each case to the extent relating to the DPP Business or the DPP Assets prior to the Closing Date, including (a) ideas and concepts for existing products, processes and services; (b) specifications for products, Equipment and processes; (c) manufacturing and performance specifications and procedures; (d) engineering drawings and graphs; (e) technical, research and engineering data; (f) formulations and material specifications; (g) laboratory studies and benchmark tests; (h) service and operation manuals; (i) quality assurance policies, procedures and specifications; (j) evaluation and validation studies; (k) pending Patent applications; (l) all other Know-How, methodology, procedures, techniques and trade secrets related to research, engineering, development and manufacturing; and (m) business information, including marketing and development plans, forecasts, research and development agreements, and customer and vendor information (except to the extent that such Information can be shown to have been (1) in the public domain or enters the public domain through no fault of Delta or its Affiliates, (2) lawfully acquired from other sources by Delta or its Affiliates or (3) developed independently by Delta or its Affiliates; provided, however, in the case of (2) that such sources did not provide such Information in breach of any confidentiality or other legal obligation owed to Newco or its Subsidiaries). Notwithstanding the foregoing and without limiting the Related Agreements, nothing herein shall prevent Delta or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective Representatives from disclosing or using any DPP Confidential Information exclusively used or held for use in any Excluded Business.
(b) For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, except as otherwise expressly provided in any Related Agreement, Newco shall hold and shall cause its Affiliates to hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to hold, in strict confidence and not to disclose, release or use without the prior written consent of Delta, any and all Delta Confidential Information; provided, that Newco may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Delta Confidential Information (i) to its Representatives who have a need to know such information and are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the parties hereto and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations Newco will be responsible, (ii) for audit or accounting purposes and in connection with any litigation, government investigations, financial and Tax reporting purposes, or (iii) if Newco, its Affiliates or its Representatives are compelled to disclose any such Delta Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or any stock exchange rule or regulation or, in the opinion of legal counsel including in house counsel, by other requirements of Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Delta Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (iii) above, Newco shall to the extent practicable promptly notify Delta of the existence of such request or demand and shall provide Delta a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which both parties will reasonably cooperate in obtaining (each at their own expense). In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, Newco or its Affiliates or Representatives shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Delta Confidential
53
Information that is legally required to be disclosed. As used in this Section 7.12(b), “Delta Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary technical, economic, environmental, operational, financial and other business Information or material of Delta and its Subsidiaries which, prior to or following the Closing Date, is or has been in the possession of Newco and its Affiliates, or has been disclosed by Delta or its Affiliates in written, oral (including by recording), electronic, or visual form to, or otherwise has come into the possession of, Newco, in each case including pursuant to the access provisions of Section 7.9 hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or any Related Agreement, in each case to the extent relating to the Excluded Assets or Excluded Businesses prior to the Closing Date, including: (a) ideas and concepts for existing products, processes and services; (b) specifications for products, Equipment and processes; (c) manufacturing and performance specifications and procedures; (d) engineering drawings and graphs; (e) technical, research and engineering data; (f) formulations and material specifications; (g) laboratory studies and benchmark tests; (h) service and operation manuals; (i) quality assurance policies, procedures and specifications; (j) evaluation and validation studies; (k) pending Patent applications; (l) all other Know-How, methodology, procedures, techniques and trade secrets related to research, engineering, development and manufacturing; and (m) business information, including marketing and development plans, forecasts, research and development agreements, and customer and vendor information (except to the extent that such Information can be shown to have been (1) in the public domain or enters the public domain through no fault of Newco or its Affiliates, (2) lawfully acquired from other sources by Newco or its Affiliates, or (3) developed independently by Newco or its Affiliates; provided, however, in the case of (2) that such sources did not provide such Information in breach of any confidentiality or other legal obligation owed to Delta or its Subsidiaries).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 7.12, to the extent that a Related Agreement or another Contract pursuant to which a party hereto is bound or its Confidential Information is subject provides that certain Confidential Information shall be maintained confidential on a basis that is more protective of such Confidential Information or for a longer period of time than provided for in this Section 7.12, then the applicable provisions contained in such Related Agreement or other Contract shall control with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, references to “Subsidiaries” or “Affiliates” of Newco in this Section 7.12 shall include, to the extent relating to any period following the Closing, the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries.
Section 7.13 Mail and Other Communications; Accounts.
(a) After the Closing Date, each of Delta and its Subsidiaries and Newco and its Subsidiaries may receive mail, packages and other communications (including electronic communications) properly belonging to the other (or the other’s Subsidiaries). Accordingly, at all times after the Closing Date, each of Delta and Newco authorizes the other and their respective Subsidiaries to receive and open all mail, packages and other communications received by it and not unambiguously intended for the other party (or its Subsidiaries) or any of the other party’s (or its Subsidiaries’) officers or directors, and to retain the same to the extent that they relate to the DPP Business (in the case of receipt by Newco and its Subsidiaries) or the Excluded Businesses (in the case of receipt by Delta and its Subsidiaries), or to the extent that they do not relate to the DPP Business (in the case of receipt by Newco and its Subsidiaries) or the Excluded Businesses or the Transaction Process (in the case of receipt by
54
Delta and its Subsidiaries), the receiving party shall promptly after becoming aware thereof refer, forward or otherwise deliver such mail, packages or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both the DPP Business and the Excluded Businesses, copies thereof) to the other party. The provisions of this Section 7.13 are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, constitute an authorization by either Delta or Newco to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and neither party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for service of process purposes.
(b) All payments and reimbursements received by Delta or its Subsidiaries in connection with or arising out of the DPP Business, the DPP Assets or the Assumed Liabilities after the Closing shall be held by such Person in trust for the benefit of Newco and, immediately upon receipt by such Person of any such payment or reimbursement, such Person shall pay over to Newco the amount of such payment or reimbursement, without right of set off.
(c) All payments and reimbursements received by Newco or its Subsidiaries in connection with or arising out of the Excluded Assets, Retained Liabilities or Excluded Businesses after the Closing shall be held by such Person in trust for the benefit of Delta and, immediately upon receipt by such Person of any such payment or reimbursement such Person shall pay over to Delta the amount of such payment or reimbursement, without right of set off.
Section 7.14 Compliance with WARN Act and Similar Statutes. Newco agrees that it shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, comply with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 (the “WARN Act”) and any applicable state, local and foreign plant closing and layoff Law as it relates to any site of employment of the Transferred DPP Companies or their Subsidiaries, and Newco agrees to, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Delta and the Retained Subsidiaries from and against any and all resultant Losses which Delta and the Retained Subsidiaries incur following the Closing Date in connection with any Action or claim of violation brought against Delta or any of the Retained Subsidiaries under the WARN Act or any applicable state, local or foreign plant closing or layoff Law, which relate, in whole or in part, to actions taken by Newco or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date. Within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, Delta shall provide Newco with a list of all U.S. employees of Delta or any of its Affiliates who (a) suffer an “employment loss” (as defined under the WARN Act) within the 90-day period immediately prior to the Closing Date and (b) at the time of such “employment loss” are located at the same “single site of employment” (as defined under the WARN Act and regulations promulgated thereunder) as any of the Business Employees located in the United States. As used in this Section 7.14, Newco’s Subsidiaries shall include the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries. Such list shall include the date of such employment loss for each listed employee. Delta shall also promptly provide any additional information that Newco may thereafter reasonably request for the purpose of assessing its obligations under the WARN Act.
55
Section 7.15 Shared Contracts.
(a) Shared Contractual Liabilities pursuant to, under or directly relating to Shared Contracts shall, unless otherwise allocated pursuant to Section 7.15(a) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule, this Agreement or a Related Agreement, be allocated between Delta and Newco as follows:
(i) If a Liability is incurred exclusively in respect of the DPP Business or the Excluded Businesses, such Liability shall be allocated to Newco (in respect of the DPP Business) or Delta (in respect of the Excluded Businesses);
(ii) If a Liability cannot be so allocated under clause (i) above, such Liability shall be allocated to Delta or Newco, as the case may be, based on the relative proportions of total economic benefit received (over the term of the Shared Contract remaining as of the Closing Date, measured as of the date of the allocation) by the DPP Business or the Excluded Business under the relevant Shared Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Delta and Newco shall be responsible for any or all Liabilities arising from its (or its Subsidiary’s) breach of the relevant Shared Contract to which this Section 7.15 otherwise pertains.
(b) If Delta or any Retained Subsidiary, on the one hand, or Newco or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries), on the other hand, receives any benefit or payment which under any Shared Contract was intended for the other, Delta and Newco will use their respective reasonable best efforts to, and to cause their respective Subsidiaries to, deliver such benefit or payment to the other party.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties agree that the Shared Contracts listed on Section 7.15(c)(i) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be DPP Assets hereunder (the “Excluded Shared Contracts”). Without limiting the foregoing, the parties have determined that it is advisable that certain Shared Contracts, which are identified on Section 7.15(c)(ii) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule, be separated into separate Contracts between the appropriate third party and either the Excluded Businesses or the DPP Business. The parties agree to cooperate and provide reasonable assistance prior to the Closing (with no obligation on the part of either party to pay any costs or fees with respect to such assistance) in effecting the separation of such Shared Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without the prior written consent of Newco, no Transferred DPP Company or any Subsidiary of the Transferred DPP Companies shall enter into any new Shared Contract after the date hereof or any separate Contract with respect to any or all of the Shared Contracts set forth on Section 7.15(c)(ii) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule to the extent that such new or separate Contract (x) is a sourcing Contract containing “take or pay” obligations of such Transferred DPP Company or respective Subsidiary thereof or (y) requires payment of any costs by such Transferred DPP Company or respective Subsidiary thereof to terminate such separate Contract.
(d) As used in this Section 7.15, Newco’s Subsidiaries shall include the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries.
Section 7.16 Transfer of Excluded Assets; Restructuring.
(a) Delta shall take, or cause one or more of its Affiliates to take, such actions described on Section 7.16 of the Delta Disclosure Schedule (as it may be amended
56
pursuant to the immediately following sentence) to transfer effective as of, or prior to, the Effective Time (i) the Excluded Assets from the Transferred DPP Companies or any of their Subsidiaries to Delta or one or more of its Retained Subsidiaries and (ii) the DPP Assets not held by any Transferred DPP Companies or any their Subsidiaries from Delta or its Retained Subsidiaries to a Transferred DPP Company or Subsidiary thereof, in each case, for such consideration or for no consideration, as may be determined by Delta in its sole discretion. Delta shall effect the restructuring transactions set forth on Section 7.16 of the Delta Disclosure Schedule (as may be amended pursuant to this sentence, the “Pre-Closing Restructuring Transactions”) by the Effective Time; provided, however, that following the date hereof, Delta shall be permitted to amend Section 7.16 of the Delta Disclosure Schedule to the extent the effect of such amendments would not adversely affect Newco or its Affiliates, or, following the Closing, the DPP Business, the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries, or impose liabilities, restrictions or limitations on Newco or the Transferred DPP Companies contemplated by this Agreement (taking into account the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by one or more Subsidiaries of Newco), with prior notice to and good faith consultation with Newco. After the Closing Date, Newco and its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries) shall take all actions (or shall cause their Affiliates to take all actions) reasonably requested by Delta to effect the provisions of this Section 7.16, including the transfer of any Excluded Assets to Delta or one or more of its designees for no additional consideration. All documents, instruments or certificates executed to effectuate the Pre-Closing Restructuring Transactions and the other transactions described in this Section 7.16 shall be in form and substance consistent with the Pre-Closing Restructuring Transactions (as may be amended in accordance with this Section 7.16). Delta shall provide Newco all such material documents, instruments or certificates (or forms thereof) required in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring Transactions as far in advance of the execution thereof as is reasonably practicable.
(b) Section 7.16(b) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all of the Real Property which as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Pre-Closing Restructuring Transactions, are expected as of the date hereof to be owned, leased or subleased in connection with the DPP Business immediately following the Closing, and for each such Real Property (i) the legal address, and (ii) whether such Real Property is expected as of the date hereof to be owned, leased or subleased. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, following the date hereof, Delta may amend Section 7.16(b) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule to the extent the effect of such amendments would not adversely affect Newco or its Affiliates or, following the Closing, the DPP Business or the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries, with prior notice to and good faith consultation with Newco. As part of the Pre-Closing Restructuring Transactions, Delta shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take such actions as are necessary so that immediately following the Closing and the Real Property Transfer, the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries have the right to own, lease or sublease, as applicable, all of the Real Property set forth in Section 7.16(b) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule as contemplated thereby. To the extent any Transferred DPP Company or a Subsidiary thereof or DPP Affiliate (in respect of the DPP Business) intends to enter into any lease or sublease with Delta or its Affiliates, Delta shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to execute any such lease or sublease without Newco’s written approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the material terms of such lease or sublease, including the term, rent, termination rights, assignment and subletting, indemnification,
57
alterations and permitted use of the property subject to such lease or sublease. In addition, any sublease entered into shall provide for, on a pro rata basis, at least the same rights that, and no greater obligations than, Delta or its Affiliate has under the underlying lease of such Real Property, a copy of which will be provided to Newco prior to the date such sublease is entered into.
(c) Promptly after the date hereof, each of JLL Holdco and Delta shall negotiate in good faith the agreements set forth on Section 7.16(c) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule and such other services agreements as the parties shall deem necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any such agreements are not executed and delivered on the Closing Date, the Service Level Agreements set forth on Section 7.5 of the Delta Disclosure Schedule with respect to the services contemplated by the agreements described in the immediately preceding sentence that are not entered into on the Closing Date shall continue in effect following the Closing on the terms and conditions set forth therein until such time as replacement agreements are executed and delivered.
(d) Promptly after the date hereof, Delta shall deliver to Newco a complete list of the Patents and Trademarks listed in Section 4.15(a) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule and any other issued Patents, Patent applications, Trademark registrations and applications for Trademark registration otherwise included in the DPP Assets, including application serial numbers, patent numbers (if issued) and details of record ownership of such Intellectual Property on a country-by-country basis. Upon receipt thereof, Newco shall provide proposed omnibus assignments substantially similar to the form of IP Assignment Agreement attached as Exhibit H, together with any country-specific Intellectual Property assignments suitable for recordation in a given country (the “Country-Specific IP Assignments”), and together with final schedules thereto, and reasonably satisfactory to Delta, as may be reasonably required to transfer record title of any Intellectual Property included in the DPP Assets to Newco, a Transferred DPP Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof as provided hereunder. Delta shall, or shall cause the applicable Retained Subsidiary or Affiliate to, execute and deliver to Newco at Closing such omnibus assignments and such Country-Specific IP Assignments and any other document reasonably required to transfer record title as provided hereunder. For avoidance of doubt, the cost of preparing and filing any necessary Intellectual Property title transfer documentation or taking similar actions with local Intellectual Property offices around the world (including any applicable attorneys’ fees) shall be borne solely by Newco.
(e) Nothing contained herein shall restrict Delta or its Affiliates from entering into administrative services agreements, site services agreements, information technology administrative service agreements or services level agreements prior to the Closing Date in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring Transactions, it being understood and agreed that such agreements shall not be binding upon Newco or, following Closing, the Transferred DPP Companies or their Subsidiaries.
(f) Promptly after the date of this Agreement, the parties shall establish a committee (the “Planning Committee”) for the purposes of coordinating and communicating pertinent information regarding the activities contemplated or taken in accordance with or pursuant to the Service Level Agreements, the Related Agreements or this Agreement. The parties shall reasonably determine the membership of the Planning Committee,
58
provided that the Planning Committee shall include member representatives from Delta, the DPP Business, JLL Holdco and Pi. The Planning Committee shall meet on a regular basis, in person or by telephone conference at a schedule to be determined by the Planning Committee itself, but no less than weekly. The Planning Committee shall not have decision making authority with respect to either party and shall not bind any party, or otherwise affect the rights, remedies or obligations of any party hereunder.
Section 7.17 Obligations Regarding Non-Assignable Assets and Delayed DPP Assets.
(a) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, unless and until such consent, approval or amendment described below is no longer required or has been obtained, this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall not constitute an agreement to assign, license, sublicense, lease, sublease, convey or transfer at or before the Closing any DPP Asset that is not held by any Transferred DPP Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries on the date hereof or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom or any change of control with regard thereto as to which consent or approval from any Person (including consents and approvals of Governmental Authorities) to assignment, license, sublicense, lease, sublease, conveyance or transfer thereof or amendment thereof or change of control with regard thereto is required but has not been obtained (such Asset, together with any related Assets identified on Section 7.17(a) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule, a “Delayed DPP Asset”); provided, however, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of any Delayed DPP Asset or applicable Law, the parties shall treat Newco (or a Subsidiary of Newco, as applicable) as the owner thereof for Tax purposes beginning as of the Closing Date; provided, further, that, in connection with the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Delta or any of its Affiliates nor Newco or any of its Affiliates shall be required to, nor will Delta or any of its Affiliates without Newco’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) commence any litigation or offer or pay any money or otherwise grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party. Without limiting the generality of Section 7.3 and Section 7.4, Delta and Newco shall use, and cause each of their Subsidiaries to use, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent, approval or amendment, including after the Closing Date. Upon obtaining the requisite consents or approvals, such Delayed DPP Asset shall be transferred and assigned to Newco or a Subsidiary of Newco without additional consideration therefor.
(b) In the event and to the extent that, prior to the Closing, Delta or any Retained Subsidiary is unable to obtain a consent, approval or amendment required to assign, license, sublicense, lease, sublease, convey or transfer any Delayed DPP Asset to Newco or a Subsidiary of Newco, or a change of control with regard thereto, then following the Closing, Delta shall, and shall cause the Retained Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) continue to hold, and to the extent required by the terms applicable to such Delayed DPP Asset, operate such Delayed DPP Asset in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and taking into account the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) cooperate in any arrangement, reasonable and lawful as to Delta and Newco, designed to provide to Newco or its Subsidiaries the benefits arising under such Delayed DPP Asset, including consulting with Newco as to the operation of such Delayed DPP Asset and accepting such reasonable direction as Newco shall request of Delta, (iii) enforce at Newco’s
59
request, or allow Newco and its Affiliates to enforce in a commercially reasonable manner, any rights of Delta or the applicable Retained Subsidiary under such Delayed DPP Asset against the other party or parties thereto and (iv) effect the transfer to (or, in the case of any Non-Transferable Permits, reissue in the name of) Newco or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the costs and expenses incurred by Delta or its Affiliates in connection with operation of such Delayed DPP Asset at Newco’s direction shall be borne solely by Newco. Delta shall, and shall cause the Retained Subsidiaries to, without further consideration therefor, pay and remit to Newco promptly all monies, rights and other consideration received in respect of such performance as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof. Newco shall pay, perform and discharge fully, promptly when due, all of the obligations of Delta or the Retained Subsidiaries in respect of such performance, and Newco shall be responsible for all Assumed Liabilities related thereto and indemnify the Delta Indemnified Parties for all Losses arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of Delta or any Retained Subsidiary arising out of such performance taken at the direction of Newco or its Subsidiaries.
(c) Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Section 7.17, no party hereto shall be required to take any action that (i) violates, in any material respect any material contractual obligation of such party or (ii) violates applicable Law.
(d) Newco acknowledges that certain consents and approvals to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from certain third parties, and that certain of such consents and approvals may not be obtained. Newco and JLL Holdco agree that, unless expressly provided in this Section 7.17 or Sections 4.4, 7.3, 7.4, 10.3 or 10.4 and subject to the limitations therein, Delta and its Affiliates shall not have any Liability whatsoever arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents or approvals that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default under or acceleration or termination of any Contracts, Permits or Environmental Permits or other right or obligation, as a result thereof.

Section 7.21 Employee Matters.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, Newco shall honor all Transferred Business Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and unless otherwise expressly terminated in accordance with their terms, the Transferred Business Plans shall survive after the Effective Time, provided, that nothing in this sentence shall prohibit Newco from amending or terminating, or prohibit JLL Holdco from causing Newco to amend or terminate, any such Transferred Business Plans, arrangements or agreements in accordance with their terms or if otherwise required by applicable Law, provided that any such amendment or termination does not result in any Liability for Delta or any of its Affiliates (other than Newco, the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries).
(b) For a period of not less than one year following the Effective Time, Newco or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall provide Transferred Employees (to the extent they remain employed by Newco or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time), compensation and employee benefits which shall be substantially comparable, in the aggregate, excluding equity compensation benefits, to the compensation and benefits prevailing at Delta and its Subsidiaries with respect to such employees immediately prior to the Closing (or such higher compensation and benefits as is required by applicable Law or Employee Benefit Plan to prevent severance Liability or other termination-related Liability from becoming payable to such Transferred Employee from Delta or any of its Affiliates (other than Newco, Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries)); provided, that following such period, the aggregate compensation and benefits for such Transferred Employees shall be substantially comparable to the compensation and benefits of other similarly situated employees of Newco.

To the extent any severance Liability or other termination-related Liability becomes payable to any Business Employee from Delta or any of its Affiliates (other than Newco, the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries), due to (i) Newco’s or one of its Subsidiaries’ failure to maintain necessary or appropriate terms and conditions of employment, or (ii) termination of employment by Delta or one of its Affiliates or the relevant individual following refusal or objection to transfer (either to
63
Newco or between Affiliates of Delta on or prior to the Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or rejection or refusal of an Offer (such Liability, collectively, “Severance Costs”), Newco shall indemnify and hold harmless Delta and its Affiliates (other than Newco, the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries) against such Severance Costs.
(c) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Transferred Employee shall cease participation in the Employee Benefit Plans (other than the Transferred Business Plans). Newco shall assume all Liabilities (other than any Liability resulting from a breach of any representation or warranty or covenant hereunder) under the Transferred Business Plans, except for any project bonuses set forth on Section 4.12(a) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule, which shall be paid by Delta, whether incurred prior to, on or following the Closing Date. Newco will pay any change of control bonuses instituted by Delta prior to Closing payable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that Delta shall reimburse Newco for any amounts paid by Newco in respect thereof in excess of $3,500,000 in the aggregate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Delta or an ERISA Affiliate (other than the Transferred DPP Companies or any of their Subsidiaries) shall, effective as of the Closing Date, retain or assume the sponsorship of any and all Liabilities and obligations under or relating to each Employee Benefit Plan (other than the Transferred Business Plans), regardless of when any such Liability or obligation arises, is reported or disclosed.

The form of Offer in each jurisdiction in which an Offer Employee will be employed will be provided to Delta at least 10 Business Days prior to distribution to the applicable Offer Employees in such jurisdiction and Newco shall incorporate all reasonable comments thereto received from Delta. Each Offer shall (i) offer compensation and benefits as set forth in the first sentence of Section 7.21(b) and (ii) include an acknowledgement by the Offer Employee that acceptance of such Offer constitutes resignation of employment at Delta and its Affiliates. Delta and Newco shall and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) encourage Offer Employees to accept such Offers and (B) make application for and to obtain any work permit or visa, employment pass, or other legal or regulatory approval for employment of the Offer Employees. Delta, Newco and their respective Affiliates shall effectuate the transfer of employment of the Transferred Employees and related employment matters contemplated by this Agreement in compliance with applicable Law. After the date hereof, Delta shall timely deliver or make all filings, notifications and other communications (including the Consultation Process), and timely provide all information, to any applicable works councils, trade unions or other employee or union representatives representing the Business Employee(s), and to employees that are required by Law or agreements relating to such bodies or employees to transfer the employment of the Transferred Employees as contemplated by this Agreement and JLL Holdco and Newco shall promptly provide Delta with all information and assistance necessary or appropriate to timely complete such filings, notifications and other communications (including the Consultation Process) and timely provide such information. In addition, (i) Delta shall (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required consent or approval of any works council or trade union in connection with each
64
such transfer of employment, including by engaging in discussions and consultations with such works councils and trade unions and by furnishing such documentation or other materials reasonably requested by any such works council or trade union in connection with the applicable transfer of employment or other related matters, and (B) keep JLL Holdco reasonably informed regarding Delta’s efforts in connection with obtaining any consent or approval of any works council or trade union; provided, that Delta shall have no obligation to obtain JLL Holdco’s consent in connection therewith, other than with respect to creating, modifying or amending any material obligations with respect to any works council or trade union outside the ordinary course of business, which shall be subject to JLL Holdco’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(e) Newco or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall give each Transferred Employee full credit for such Transferred Employees’ service with Delta, the Transferred DPP Companies and their respective Subsidiaries under any benefit plans (other than under any defined benefit pension or retiree medical plan) made available to the Transferred Employee by Newco or any of its Subsidiaries to the same extent recognized by Delta, the Transferred DPP Companies or their respective Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.
(f) Newco or its Subsidiaries, as applicable shall (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations otherwise applicable to Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents under any plan of Newco or any Subsidiary of Newco that provides health benefits in which Transferred Employees may be eligible to participate following the Effective Time, other than any limitations that were in effect with respect to such employees as of the Effective Time under the analogous Employee Benefit Plan, (ii) honor any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by the Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents under the health plans in which they participated immediately prior to the Effective Time during the portion of the calendar year prior to the Effective Time in satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under health plans of Newco or any of its Subsidiaries in which they are eligible to participate after the Effective Time in the same plan year in which such deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums were incurred, (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents at or after the Effective Time, in each case to the extent such Transferred Employee or eligible dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Employee Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time, and (iv) credit the accounts of Transferred Employees under any plan of Newco or any of its Subsidiaries which is a flexible spending plan with any unused balance in the account of such Transferred Employee under the analogous Employee Benefit Plan. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be credited to such Transferred Employee following the Effective Time, and shall not be subject to accrual limits or other forfeiture and shall not limit future accruals.
(g) Within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, Delta shall deliver to Newco a true and complete list of all Business Employees as of the date hereof, including, as of such date, each such employee’s title and function, then current base salary or
65
other compensation rate, date of hire, estimated percentage of time dedicated to the DPP Business, name of applicable variable pay plan and applicable target percentage of annual salary and any special status under employment protection Laws (e.g. parental leave, maternity protection, disability), in each case to the extent permitted to be disclosed without the consent of the applicable Business Employee under applicable Law. Such list shall designate those Business Employees whom Delta reasonably expects to be Offer Employees or subject to further material action to transfer to or otherwise become employed by Newco or one of its Subsidiaries and, between the date hereof and the Closing, Newco and Delta shall reasonably cooperate to determine the appropriate method of transfer of such Business Employees. Delta shall update such list from time to time prior to Closing as reasonably requested by Newco.

JLL Holdco will have five (5) days after receipt (the “Termination Period”) in which to review the Supplemental Disclosure. If a Supplemental Disclosure discloses facts that would constitute a breach of Delta’s representations and warranties hereunder and such breach would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of the conditions to Closing specified in Sections 9.3 or 9.4 to be satisfied at the Closing, JLL Holdco may elect, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by delivering a termination notice to Delta within the Termination Period (which termination notice shall specify the representation or warranty breached, identify the specific facts in the Supplemental Disclosure that constitute the breach, and describe why the failure of such condition would reasonably be expected to occur). Such termination shall be JLL Holdco’s sole remedy for a breach of a representation and warranty disclosed by the Supplemental Disclosure. If a termination notice is not received within the Termination Period, the relevant Delta Disclosure Schedules will be deemed, for all purposes, to be amended or supplemented as described in the Supplemental Disclosure, as of the date hereof.

(including, following the Closing, the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries) contained in this Agreement; (iii) all liability for reasonable out-of-pocket legal and other professional advisor fees and expenses for any item attributable to an item described in this Section 8.1(b); and (iv) any Transfer Taxes for which Newco is responsible under Section 8.5 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Newco and the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries shall not indemnify or hold harmless Delta and its Affiliates from any liability set forth in this Section 8.1(b) to the extent that Newco and its Affiliates (including the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries) are entitled to indemnification from Delta for such liability pursuant to Section 8.1(a).
Section 8.2 Straddle Periods. In the case of any Straddle Period, the Taxes of the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period and Post-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, exemptions, allowances, credits, deductions or other Tax Items (such as real, personal and other property or similar Taxes) that must under applicable Law be calculated on an annual basis shall be apportioned on a pro rata basis.
Section 8.3 Tax Returns.
(a) Except as provided in Section 8.5 hereof, Delta shall prepare, or cause to be prepared in accordance with applicable Law and, to the extent relevant, consistent with past practices, and file or cause to be filed, when due, all Tax Returns (other than Straddle Period Tax Returns) that are required to be filed by or with respect to any Transferred DPP Company and its Subsidiaries, and the DPP IP, in each case, for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Newco shall and shall cause the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries to cooperate with, and take any action reasonably requested by, Delta with respect to the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns. The immediately preceding sentence shall, in no way, be construed as limiting or otherwise modifying the rights and obligations of the parties under Section 8.7 hereof.
(b) Except as provided in Section 8.5 hereof, Newco shall prepare, or cause to be prepared in accordance with applicable Law and, to the extent relevant, consistent with past practices and file or cause to be filed, when due, all Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries and the DPP IP, in each case, for any Straddle Period.
(c) If either Delta or Newco is obligated under this Agreement to bear the economic burden for any portion of the Tax payable in connection with any income or other material Tax Return to be prepared and filed by the other (or an Affiliate of the other), the party responsible for filing such Tax Return (the “Preparer”) shall prepare and deliver to the other party (the “Payor”) a copy of such Tax Return and any schedules, work papers and other documentation that are relevant to the preparation of the portion of such Tax Return for which the Payor is or may be liable hereunder not later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for such Tax Return (including applicable extensions) (the “Due Date”). The Preparer shall not file such Tax Return until the earlier of (i) the receipt of written notice from the Payor indicating the Payor’s consent thereto, or (ii) one (1) day prior to the Due Date.
71
(d) The Payor shall have the option of providing to the Preparer, at any time at least five (5) days prior to the Due Date, written instructions as to how the Payor wants any, or all, of the Tax Items for which it may be liable reflected on such Tax Return. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Preparer shall, in preparing such Tax Return and in good faith, cause the Tax Items for which the Payor is liable hereunder to be reflected in accordance with all reasonable instructions from the Payor on such Tax Return. In the absence of having received written instructions from Payor in accordance with this Section 8.3(d), such Tax Items shall be reported in any manner determined by the Preparer, in accordance with applicable Law and, to the extent relevant, consistent with past practices.
Section 8.4 Contest Provisions.
(a) Notification of Contests. Delta and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Newco and its Affiliates, on the other hand (the “Recipient”), shall notify the other party in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Recipient of written notice of any pending or threatened Tax Audit which may affect the liability for Taxes of such other party or may give rise to an indemnification payment under Section 8.1 by such other party. If the Recipient fails to give such notice to the other party, or if such notice is not in sufficient detail to notify the other party of the nature of the Tax Audit, the Recipient shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Taxes arising in connection with such Tax Audit to the extent the other party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
(b) Which Party Controls.
(i) Delta’s Items. If a Tax Audit relates solely to any Taxes for which Delta is liable hereunder, Delta shall at its expense control the defense and settlement of such Tax Audit (including selection of counsel, determining whether to pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings (whether judicial or administrative), hearings and conferences with any Tax Authority with respect thereto, and may, in its sole discretion either pay the Tax claimed and xxx for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest such Tax Audit in any permissible manner); provided, however, that if a settlement, compromise or abandonment of such Tax Audit could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on Newco or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred DPP Companies and their respective Subsidiaries) in any Post-Closing Tax Period, Delta shall keep Newco reasonably informed as to the status of such Tax Audit and shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Audit without obtaining the prior written consent of Newco, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In no case shall Newco, the Transferred DPP Companies or their Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates settle or otherwise compromise any Tax Audit referred to in the preceding sentence without Delta’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(ii) Newco’s Items. If a Tax Audit relates solely to any Taxes for which Newco is liable in full hereunder, Newco shall at its expense control the defense and settlement of such Tax Audit (including selection of counsel, determining whether to pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings (whether
72
judicial or administrative), hearings and conferences with any Tax Authority with respect thereto, and may, in its sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and xxx for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest such Tax Audit in any permissible manner); provided, however, that if a settlement, compromise or abandonment of such Tax Audit could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on Delta or any of its Affiliates, Newco shall keep Delta reasonably informed as to the status of such Tax Audit and shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Audit without obtaining the prior written consent of Delta, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(iii) Combined and Mixed Items. If a Tax Audit relates to Taxes for which both Delta and Newco are liable, to the extent possible the issues in such Tax Audit will be distinguished and each party will control the defense and settlement of those issues for which it is so liable; provided, however, that if such Tax Audit relates to any Straddle Period or any Taxes for which both Delta and Newco are liable and any issues in such Tax Audit cannot be identified as being a liability of only one party or cannot be separated from an issue in such Tax Audit for which the other party is liable, the party which has the greater potential liability for Taxes in such Tax Audit shall control the defense and settlement of the Tax Audit, provided that, the other shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Audit and the controlling party shall not settle, compromise or abandon such Tax Audit without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(iv) Participation Rights. Any party who is entitled to participate but does not control a Tax Audit under this Section 8.4(b) may participate at its own expense in the defense of such Tax Audit and employ counsel of its choice at its expense, and the party controlling such Tax Audit under this Section 8.4(b) shall in good faith keep such party informed with respect to such Tax Audit (including by promptly providing written copies of all correspondence in connection therewith) and, upon the reasonable request of such party, shall consult with such party from time to time regarding the conduct of such Tax Audit; provided, that nothing in this Section 8.4(b)(iv) shall limit the participation rights of any party who is entitled to participate but does not control a Tax Audit under this Section 8.4(b).
(c) Tax Audit. Notwithstanding Section 10.4(f), this Section 8.4 and not Section 10.4(f) (other than the first two sentences of Section 10.4(f)(i)) shall govern the conduct of any Tax Audit.
Section 8.5 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Related Agreement, all excise, sales, use, transfer (including real property transfer), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar Taxes arising directly from the Closing and the Real Property Transfer (but excluding any VAT and any direct or indirect capital gain Taxes and withholding Taxes, in each case, imposed on Delta or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (“Transfer Taxes”), shall be paid to the appropriate Tax Authority by Newco. Notwithstanding Section 8.3 hereof, which shall not apply to Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes, any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed when due by the party responsible for
73
filing such Tax Returns under the applicable Law imposing such Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Related Agreement, (i) Delta shall pay all and direct or indirect capital gain Taxes and withholding Taxes, in each case, imposed on Delta or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all excise, sales, use, transfer (including real property transfer), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation, and other similar Taxes arising from the removal of the Excluded Assets from the Transferred DPP Companies and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.16(a)(i) or the Pre-Closing Restructuring Transactions and (ii) JLL Holdco shall pay all direct or indirect capital gain Taxes and withholding Taxes, in each case, imposed on JLL Holdco or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of any VAT, which shall be payable at the same time and in the same manner as the payment to which such VAT relates, against delivery of a valid VAT invoice. Each party shall properly account or cause to be properly accounted to the relevant Tax Authority for any VAT arising in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement where such party is (or a member of the same VAT group as such party is) required to do so by applicable Law.
Section 8.6 Certain Post-Closing Settlement Payments and Post-Closing Actions.
(a) Newco’s Claiming, Receiving or Using of Refunds and Overpayments. If Newco or any of its Affiliates (A) receives any refund of Tax, or (B) utilizes the benefit of any overpayment of Taxes which, in each case (A) and (B), (x) relates to Taxes paid by Delta or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (y) is the subject of indemnification by Delta pursuant to this Agreement, or (z) relates to Taxes taken into account in the determination of Net Working Capital of the DPP Business or Indebtedness Amount, in each case, other than any such refund or overpayment of Taxes resulting from a carryback from a Post-Closing Tax Period, Newco shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Delta, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any such refund or the filing of the Tax Return utilizing any such overpayment, the entire amount of such refund or overpayment (including interest paid thereon by a Governmental Authority), net of (I) any Tax payable, or required to be withheld, by Newco or any of its Affiliates with respect thereto (including with respect to any interest on such refund or overpayment) and (II) any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such refund or overpayment. Newco agrees to waive any carryback of any Tax loss or other Tax attribute from a Post-Closing Tax Period to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and to instead carry forward such loss or other attribute to a Post-Closing Tax Period, if and to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law. In the event that Newco is not permitted under applicable Tax Law to waive any such carryback, Newco shall be permitted to carry back such loss or other attribute to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and Delta shall be entitled to an amount (not to exceed the refund or overpayment resulting from such carryback) equal to the amount of any Taxes actually incurred by Delta (including as a result of any diminution in foreign tax credits) resulting from such carryback, as computed on a “with and without” basis. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the income or Tax attributable to a given Pre-Closing Tax Period may be offset by either a carryback (or other refund or utilization of overpayment) described in this Section 8.6(a) or a carryback of other Tax Items of Delta or its Affiliates arising in the same Post-Closing Tax Period or any preceding Post-Closing Tax Period, Delta may in its reasonable discretion determine the order in which such carrybacks may be applied.
74
(b) Delta’s Claiming, Receiving or Using of Refunds and Overpayments. If Delta or any of its Affiliates (A) receives any refund of Tax, or (B) utilizes the benefit of any overpayment of Taxes which, in each case (A) and (B), (x) relates to Taxes paid by Newco or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period (including any refund or overpayment of Tax in a Pre-Closing Tax Period by reason of a carryback from a Post-Closing Tax Period), or (y) is the subject of indemnification by Newco pursuant to this Agreement, Delta shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Newco, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any such refund or the filing of the Tax Return utilizing any such overpayment, the entire amount of such refund or overpayment (including interest paid thereon by a Governmental Authority), net of (I) any Tax payable, or required to be withheld, by Delta or any of its Affiliates with respect thereto (including with respect to any interest on such refund or overpayment) and (II) any reasonable costs and expenses associated with obtaining such refund or overpayment.
(c) Post-Closing Actions. None of Newco, the Transferred DPP Companies or their Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates shall (i) make any election or take any other action outside the ordinary course of business (including without limitation any election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code or any merger, conversion, liquidation or dissolution of any of the Transferred DPP Companies or their Subsidiaries) on the Closing Date after the Closing or (ii) amend any Tax Return prepared and filed by Delta pursuant to Section 8.3(a) hereof, in each case without the prior written consent of Delta, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Solely for purposes of the previous sentence, any action taken effective as of the Closing Date or any day prior to the Closing Date shall be treated as having been taken on the Closing Date. Subject to Section 8.6(a), Delta agrees to reasonably cooperate with Newco to claim any refund arising from carrybacks from a Post-Closing Tax Period to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. In addition, from the Closing Date through the end of the calendar year that includes the Closing Date, Newco shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (x) operate DPI Newco (as such term is defined in Section 4.3 of the Delta Disclosure Schedule), DSM Pharmaceutical Products, Inc. and DSM Pharma Chemicals North America, Inc. in the ordinary course of business and (y) not take any action outside the ordinary course of business that would reasonably be expected to materially increase the “earnings and profits” (within the meaning of Section 312 of the Code) of DPI Newco, DSM Pharmaceutical Products, Inc. or DSM Pharma Chemicals North America, Inc.
Section 8.7 Maintenance of Books and Records. Until the applicable statute of limitation (including periods of waiver) has expired for any Tax Return filed or required to be filed covering the periods up to and including the Closing Date (including any Straddle Periods), Newco and its Affiliates shall retain such Tax Return and all Tax work papers and related materials in its possession and under its control that were used in the preparation of any such Tax Return. Newco will notify Delta sixty (60) days prior to disposing of any Tax records relating to taxable periods and will deliver to Delta any such records requested by Delta.
Section 8.8 Miscellaneous.
(a) Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Delta hereby agrees and covenants that any Tax Sharing Agreement to which any of the Transferred DPP Companies or their Subsidiaries is a party will cease to apply to the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.
75
(b) VAT. From and after the Closing Date, the Transferred DPP Companies and their Subsidiaries shall cease to be members of a VAT group pursuant to Article 11 of Directive 2006/112/EC (or equivalent provision in a jurisdiction outside the European Union) where Delta is also a member of the same VAT group.
(c) Interpretation. To the extent that there is a conflict between any provision of this Article VIII and any other provision of this Agreement that otherwise would be applicable with respect to any Taxes, Tax Returns, Tax Audits, Tax indemnification claims or any other matter related to Taxes, the provisions of this Article VIII shall govern.
(d) Cash Payment Required for Indemnification. The parties agree that any payment required to be made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be made in cash by the party or Affiliate responsible for such payment and not by adjusting the principal amount of the Delta Note.

Section 10.4 Indemnification.
(a) From and after Closing, and subject to Sections 10.3 through 10.7, Delta shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Newco and its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Transferred DPP Companies and their respective Subsidiaries) and each of their Affiliates and each of Newco’s, its Subsidiaries’, and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives (collectively, the “Newco Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Newco Indemnified Parties (other than indemnification related to Taxes, which shall be covered exclusively by Article VIII) arising or resulting from, in connection with or relating to (i) the failure of Delta or any of the other DPP Share Sellers to duly perform or observe any covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Delta

Newco shall take and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss that would reasonably be expected to be indemnifiable hereunder upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time prior to a Delta Note Transfer, Delta may, at its election, satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(iii) and (iv) by decreasing the principal amount of the Delta Note by the aggregate amount of Delta’s obligations pursuant to Sections 10.4(a)(iii) or (iv), as applicable, after giving effect to the offset provisions of Sections 10.5 and 10.6, as applicable, and Delta shall satisfy all other obligations pursuant to this Section 10.4(a) by payment of the amount of such other obligations by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Newco within twenty (20) Business Days following the resolution or determination thereof.
(b) From and after Closing, and subject to Section 10.3 and this Section 10.4, Newco shall indemnify and hold harmless Delta and its Subsidiaries and each of their Affiliates and each of Delta’s, its Subsidiaries’ and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives (collectively, the “Delta Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Delta Indemnified Parties (other than indemnification related to Taxes, which shall be covered exclusively by Article VIII) arising or resulting from, in connection with or relating to (i) the failure of Newco to duly perform or observe any covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Newco pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any of the Assumed Liabilities. Delta shall take and cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss that would reasonably be expected to be indemnifiable hereunder upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.
(c) From and after Closing, and subject to Sections 10.3 through 10.7, JLL Holdco shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Newco Indemnified Parties from and against any Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Newco Indemnified Parties arising or resulting from, in connection with or relating to (i) the failure of JLL Holdco to duly perform or observe any covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by JLL Holdco pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any breach of any representation or warranty of JLL Holdco set forth in Section 5.1 (Organization and Standing), Section 5.2 (Authority Relative to this Agreement, Etc.), Section 5.4 (Brokers and Finders), Section 5.8 (Investigation by JLL Holdco) and Section 5.9 (JLL Legacy Entities) (or any certificate provided by JLL Holdco in connection herewith to the
83
extent relating to such representations or warranties of JLL Holdco) as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing or any failure of such representation or warranty of JLL Holdco to be true and correct as of the Closing, (iii) any breach of the representations or warranties of Newco set forth in Section 6.1 (Organization and Standing), Section 6.2 (Authority Relative to this Agreement, Etc.), Section 6.4 (Brokers and Finders), Section 6.5 (No Prior Business), Section 6.6 (Investigation by Newco) and Section 6.9 (Capitalization; Valid Issuance) (or any certificate provided by Newco in connection herewith to the extent relating to such representations or warranties of Newco) as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing or any failure of any such representation or warranty of Newco to be true and correct as of the Closing, (iv) the matter set forth on Section 10.4(c)(iv) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule, (v) any breach of the representations or warranties of Pi set forth in paragraphs 1 (Organization and Qualification), 2 (Corporate Authorization), 3 (Execution and Binding Obligation), 6 (Capitalization), 9 (Subsidiaries), 11(a) (Financial Statements), 12 (Disclosure Controls and Internal Control over Financial Reporting), 13 (No Undisclosed Liabilities), 16 (Bankruptcy), 25 (Product Liability), 33 (Taxes) and 35 (Brokers) of Schedule C to the Arrangement Agreement (collectively, the “Specified Pi Reps”) (or any certificate provided by Pi in connection with the Arrangement Agreement to the extent relating to the Specified Pi Reps) as of the date of the Arrangement Agreement or as of the Closing Date or any failure of Specified Pi Reps to be true and correct as of the Closing, in each case (other than paragraph 11(a) of Schedule C to the Arrangement Agreement), without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) or similar qualifying condition in such representation or warranty, but as qualified by the Company Disclosure Letter (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) (it being understood and agreed that the disclosure of any fact or item in any section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, disclosure for the purposes of) the representations and warranties of Pi that are contained in the corresponding section of the Arrangement Agreement and any other representations and warranties of Pi to which it is reasonably apparent on its face it should relate), and (vi) the matters set forth on Section 10.4(c)(vi) of the Delta Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time prior to a Delta Note Transfer, JLL Holdco may satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section 10.4(c) by electing, in its sole discretion, to either (x) increase the principal amount of the Delta Note by the aggregate amount of JLL Holdco’s obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(c)(iv) or (y) pay the amount of JLL Holdco’s obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(c)(i)-(iv) obligations by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Newco within twenty (20) Business Days following the resolution or determination thereof.
(d) Any calculation of Losses for purposes of this Section 10.4 (including for purposes of determining the amount of Losses for purposes of sub-sections (h) – (k) below) or any indemnity payments made under Article VIII hereof shall be net of any third party insurance, other third-party proceeds (less costs of collection) or Tax benefits actually realized (calculated on a “with and without” basis) that have been received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (whether paid directly to such Indemnified Party or assigned by the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party).
(e) No Action or claim for Losses subject to indemnification under this Section 10.4 with respect to a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
84
contained in this Agreement shall be brought or made after the date on which such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall terminate pursuant to Section 10.3 or this Section 10.4(e), regardless of when the facts underlying such claim are first discovered; provided, however, that any claim made after the Closing with respect to a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that survives the Closing and prior to such termination date with reasonable specificity in accordance with the notice obligations set forth in Section 10.4(f) by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party shall survive (and be subject to indemnification) until it is finally and fully resolved. Notwithstanding any provision in the Arrangement Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that, for purposes of Section 10.4(c)(v), the Specified Pi Reps shall be deemed to survive the Closing until the last day of the General Representation Survival Period.
(f) (i) Upon receipt by a Newco Indemnified Party or Delta Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) of notice from a third party of any Action against such Indemnified Party which might give rise to a claim for Losses under this Section 10.4, the Indemnified Party (or Delta or Newco on behalf of an Indemnified Party) shall promptly give written notice thereof to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth, with reasonable specificity, the nature of and facts underlying each particular claim (including identification of all particular sections of this Agreement pursuant to which indemnification is being sought), a copy of any documentation received from the third party and a good-faith estimate of the Losses relating thereto (to the extent reasonably estimable); provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not affect the right to indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure. For the avoidance of doubt, no party shall make any voluntary disclosure to any Governmental Authority regarding any non-compliance with any Law for which such notifying party is entitled to indemnification hereunder other than as specifically agreed in writing between the parties or as required by applicable Law or stock exchange rule. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter as to which the Indemnified Party has provided notice in accordance to this Section 10.4(f). If the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with the preceding sentence, undertake to compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it shall notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall agree to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such asserted liability without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless (A) such settlement completely and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party in connection with such matter, (B) provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party and (C) does not involve any admission by the Indemnified Party of any wrongdoing or violation of Law. Notwithstanding an election of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such Action, which shall be at its own cost and expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one such separate counsel pursuant to the preceding sentence (and shall pay such fees, costs and expenses at least quarterly), if, but only if, the defendants in, or targets of, any such Action include both an Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there is a material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and
85
the Indemnified Party with respect to such proceeding (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Action or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party). In any event, the Indemnified Party and its counsel shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel and shall not assert any position in any proceeding inconsistent with that asserted by the Indemnifying Party.
(ii) If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to compromise or defend any Third Party Claim pursuant to Section10.4(f)(i) above, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in any such defense at its sole cost and expense, but in such case, the Indemnified Party shall control the investigation and defense of the asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not consent to any settlement of a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party may, at its option, elect at any time to assume and control the defense against such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party’s decision to allow the Indemnified Party to take the lead with respect to any indemnity obligation of the Indemnifying Party shall not limit, expand or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any such indemnity obligation, and if an Indemnified Party settles a Third Party Claim it is defending pursuant to this Section 10.4(f)(ii) without obtaining the Indemnifying Party’s written consent to such settlement in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, then the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed such consent.
(iii) In the event any Indemnified Party should have an indemnification claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement that does not involve a claim by a third party, promptly after becoming aware of any facts or circumstances which the Indemnified Party believes have given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party in writing setting forth, with reasonable specificity, the nature of and facts underlying each particular claim (including identification of all particular sections of this Agreement pursuant to which indemnification is sought) and a good-faith estimate of the Losses relating thereto. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction.
(g) Except with respect to (i) the Related Agreements and the Service Level Agreements, (ii) matters covered by Section 7.7, (iii) the right to an injunction or specific performance as contemplated by Section 11.7, (iv) any matter relating to Taxes (which shall be governed exclusively by Article VIII except to the extent explicitly provided in this Article X), and (v) any claim involving Losses resulting from any fraud committed by Delta, Newco or JLL
86
Holdco with respect to the representations and warranties made by such party in Article IV, Article V or Article VI, as applicable (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final and non-appealable judgment), the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.4 (x) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties following the Closing with respect to any breach or non-fulfillment of any representation, warranty, agreement, covenant or any other obligation contained in this Agreement, (y) shall apply without regard to, and shall not be subject to, any limitation by reason of set-off (except as set forth in Sections 10.5 and 10.6), limitation or otherwise and (z) are intended to be comprehensive and not to be limited by any requirements of Law concerning prominence of language or waiver of any legal right under any Law (including rights under any workers compensation statute or similar statute conferring immunity from suit). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contributions, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against Delta or any of its Affiliates, Newco or any of its Affiliates or JLL Holdco or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, arising under or based upon any Law. The obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 10.4 shall be conditioned upon the Closing having occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any party, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (x) no indemnification for Losses pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(iii) shall be asserted against Delta or be included in the Delta Representation Claims Amount and no Losses pursuant to Section 10.4(c)(v) shall be included in the Pi Representation Claims Amount under this Article X, in each case, unless any individual Loss or group or series of related Losses asserted pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(iii) or Section 10.4(c)(v), as applicable, exceeds $225,000 (such Loss or group or series of related Losses that does not exceed $225,000, the “DeMinimis Losses”), and (y) no indemnification for Losses pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(iii) shall be asserted against Delta under this Article X unless the aggregate amount of Losses that would otherwise be payable under Section 10.4(a)(iii) (following settlement in accordance with Section 10.5), which shall not include for such purposes DeMinimis Losses, to the Newco Indemnified Parties with respect to such breaches (in the aggregate), exceeds $5,000,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the obligation to provide indemnification under Section 10.4(a)(iii) to the Newco Indemnified Parties shall only apply with respect to such amounts (which shall not include for such purposes the DeMinimis Losses) that are in excess of the Basket. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Basket shall not apply to any claim involving Losses arising out of or relating to a breach of any Fundamental Representation.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no indemnification for Losses pursuant to Section 10.4(c)(iv) shall be asserted against JLL Holdco under this Article X unless the aggregate amount of Losses that would otherwise be payable under Section 10.4(c)(iv) exceeds $7,500,000 (the “Special JLL Basket”), in which case the obligation to provide indemnification under Section 10.4(c)(iv) to the Newco Indemnified Parties shall only apply with respect to such amounts that are in excess of the Special JLL Basket, and JLL Holdco shall not be required to make payments for indemnification to the Newco Indemnified Parties under Section 10.4(c)(iv) to the extent that the aggregate amount paid by JLL Holdco with respect thereto exceeds $30,000,000.
87
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Delta shall not be required to make payments for indemnification to the Newco Indemnified Parties under Section 10.4(a)(iii) (following settlement in accordance with Section 10.5) to the extent that the aggregate amount paid by Delta with respect thereto exceeds $50,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any claim involving Losses arising out of or relating to a breach of any Fundamental Representation or resulting from any fraud committed by Delta with respect to the representations and warranties made by Delta in Section 10.4(a)(iii) (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final and non-appealable judgment).
(k) In no event shall any party or Indemnified Party be entitled to recover any Losses under one section or provision of this Agreement if such party or Indemnified Party has already recovered such Losses pursuant to another section or provision of this Agreement (including any such amounts that would otherwise have constituted Losses, but were taken into account in the determination of the Net Working Capital of the DPP Business or Indebtedness Amount).
Section 10.5 General Indemnity Offset.
(a) During the General Representation Survival Period, if a Newco Indemnified Party asserts a claim pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(v)(I) or Section 10.4(a)(iii) (each, a “Delta Representation Claim”) or Section 10.4(c)(v) (each, a “Pi Representation Claim”), as applicable, and otherwise in accordance with Section 10.4(f), Delta shall not be required to provide indemnification for any Losses thereunder, and there shall be no adjustment to the principal amount of the Delta Note with respect thereto, until the aggregate amount of Losses arising or resulting from or relating to Delta Representation Claims (the “Delta Representation Claims Amount”) and Pi Representation Claims (the “Pi Representation Claims Amount”) are fully and finally determined in accordance with this Section 10.5. It being understood that in no event shall JLL Holdco be required to make any payment with respect to a Pi Representation Claim and the Pi Representation Claims Amount shall be used only to offset the Delta Representation Claims Amount.
(b) As promptly as practicable following the last day of the General Representation Survival Period, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine any Delta Representation Claim Overage. In the event that a Newco Indemnified Party has asserted a Pi Representation Claim or a Delta Representation Claim in accordance with Section 10.4(f) prior to the last day of the General Representation Survival Period that remains pending and unresolved as of the last day of the General Representation Survival Period, the parties shall mutually agree in good faith on an estimate of Losses reasonably expected to arise or result from or relate to such pending and unresolved Pi Representation Claim (the “Pi Estimated Representation Losses”) or Delta Representation Claim (the “Delta Estimated Representation Losses”), as applicable.
(c) In the event that the parties cannot mutually agree on the Delta Estimated Representation Losses or the Pi Estimated Representation Losses, as applicable, within ten (10) Business Days following the last day of the General Representation Survival Period, then either Newco or Delta shall have the right to submit the dispute to binding
88
arbitration under the expedited commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”). The arbitral tribunal in any dispute in which the total value of disputed Losses is less than $3,000,000 shall consist of a single arbitrator who shall be appointed pursuant to the AAA Rules pertaining to the selection of a single arbitrator. In any dispute in which the total value of the disputed Losses is $3,000,000 or more, the arbitral tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators. In disputes for which three arbitrators shall preside, Newco shall appoint one arbitrator and Delta shall appoint one arbitrator, in each case within ten (10) Business Days after any request for arbitration hereunder (for the avoidance of doubt, the party requesting arbitration shall appoint its arbitrator at the time of its request). The two arbitrators thus appointed shall choose the third arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days after their appointment; provided, however, that if the two arbitrators are unable to agree on the appointment of the third arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days after the appointment of the last arbitrator, either arbitrator may petition the American Arbitration Association to make the appointment. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The arbitrator(s) shall be requested to render a decision within thirty (30) days after selection of the final arbitrator and not more than fifteen (15) days after a hearing regarding the dispute, or as promptly as possible thereafter. Each party to the arbitration shall bear its own expenses in connection with such arbitration, and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator(s) shall be borne by Newco.
(d) In the event that on the earlier of a Sale of the Partnership (as defined in the Newco Partnership Agreement) and the fifth (5th) anniversary of the General Representation Survival Period (the “Termination Date”) (i) (x) the actual amount of Losses (“Delta Actual Losses”) arising or resulting from or relating to any Delta Representation Claim for which Losses were included in the Delta Estimated Representation Losses (a “Delta Unresolved Claim”) and that is finally resolved on or prior to the Termination Date is less than the estimated amount of Losses in respect of such Delta Unresolved Claim included in the Delta Estimated Representation Losses (“Delta Estimated Losses”) or (y) the actual amount of Losses (“Pi Actual Losses”) arising or resulting from or relating to any Pi Representation Claim for which Losses were included in the Pi Estimated Representation Losses (a “Pi Unresolved Claim”) and that is finally resolved on or prior to the Termination Date is greater than the estimated amount of Losses in respect of such Pi Unresolved Claim included in the Pi Estimated Representation Losses (“Pi Estimated Losses”), and (ii) Delta would not have been required to make payments for indemnification to the Newco Indemnified Parties under Section 8.1(a)(v)(I) or Section 10.4(a)(iii) if (A) the amount of Delta Actual Losses (instead of the amount of Delta Estimated Losses) had been taken into account in determining the Delta Representation Claim Overage or (B) the amount of Pi Actual Losses (instead of the amount of Pi Estimated Losses) had been taken into account in determining the Delta Representation Claim Overage (i.e., the Delta Representation Claim Overage would not have existed), then (x) if Delta or one of its Affiliates is the then current holder of the Delta Note and if Delta satisfied its obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(iii) by decreasing the principal amount of the Delta Note by the amount of such obligations (the “Delta Representation Payment Amount”), then, Newco shall cause the Note Issuer to increase the principal amount of the Delta Note by the Delta Representation Payment Amount, (y) if neither Delta nor any of its Affiliates is the then current holder of the Delta Note or if Delta satisfied its obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(iii) by payment of the Delta Representation Payment Amount in cash to Newco, then Newco shall promptly pay to Delta an amount in cash equal to the Delta Representation Payment Amount or (z) if Delta satisfied its obligations pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(v)(I) by payment of the amount thereof in cash to Newco, then Newco shall promptly pay to Delta an amount in cash equal to such amount.
89
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.5 to the contrary, the Delta Representation Claim Overage shall not include any Losses for any disputes being resolved by litigation pursuant to Section 10.4(f)(iii); provided, however, that the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such disputes prior to the last day of the General Representation Survival Period. If any such disputes are not resolved prior thereto, this Section 10.5 shall not apply to such disputes.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in Article VIII or Section 10.4 or this Section 10.5 to the contrary, Delta shall be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(v)(I) or Section 10.4(a)(iii) solely with respect to the Delta Representation Claim Overage, if any, subject to the other provisions of Article VIII and Section 10.4, which obligations may, at Delta’s election (in its sole discretion), be paid by Delta to Newco in cash or be settled through a decrease in the principal amount of the Delta Note in accordance with and subject to the last sentence of Section 10.4(a); provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any claim involving Losses arising out of or relating to a breach of any Fundamental Representation first discovered and asserted after the last day of the General Representation Survival Period. Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.4 or this Section 10.5 to the contrary, JLL Holdco shall not be obligated to make any payment with respect to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.4(c)(v) under any circumstance.
(g) If a claim for indemnification could be made as a Delta Representation Claim or a Pi Representation Claim, and could also be made under any other provision of this Agreement, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such claim when made shall be deemed to have been made as either a Delta Representation Claim or a Pi Representation Claim, as applicable, and not under any other provision of this Agreement, and such claim shall therefore be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.5.
Section 10.6 Environmental Indemnity Offset.
(a) During the Environmental Indemnity Claim Period, if a Newco Indemnified Party asserts a claim pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(iv) or Section 10.4(c)(vi) (a “Delta Environmental Indemnity Claim” or a “Pi Environmental Indemnity Claim,” respectively), as applicable, and otherwise in accordance with Section 10.4(f), neither Delta nor JLL Holdco, as the case may be, shall be required to provide indemnification for any Losses thereunder, and there shall be no adjustment to the principal amount of the Delta Note with respect thereto, until the aggregate amount of Losses arising or resulting from or relating to Delta Environmental Indemnity Claims (the “Delta Environmental Claims Amount”) and Pi Environmental Indemnity Claims (the “Pi Environmental Claims Amount”) are fully and finally settled in accordance with this Section 10.6. It being understood that in no event shall JLL Holdco be required to make any payment with respect to a Pi Environmental Indemnity Claim, and the Pi Environmental Claims Amount shall be used only to offset the Delta Environmental Claims Amount.
(b) As promptly as practicable following the last day of the Environmental Indemnity Claim Period, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine

any Delta Environmental Overage. In the event that a Newco Indemnified Party has asserted a Pi Environmental Indemnity Claim or Delta Environmental Indemnity Claim in accordance with Section 10.4(f) prior to the end of the Environmental Indemnity Claim Period that remains pending and unresolved as of the last day of the Environmental Indemnity Claim Period, the parties shall mutually agree in good faith on an estimate of Losses reasonably expected to arise or result from or relate to such pending and unresolved Delta Environmental Indemnity Claim (the “Delta Estimated Environmental Losses”) or Pi Environmental Indemnity Claim (the “Pi Estimated Environmental Losses”), as applicable.
(c) In the event that the parties cannot mutually agree on the Delta Estimated Environmental Losses or the Pi Estimated Environmental Losses within ten (10) Business Days following the last day of the Environmental Indemnity Claim Period, then either Delta or Newco shall have the right to submit the dispute to ENVIRON, or if ENVIRON is unwilling to serve, another mutually acceptable environmental expert (the “Environmental Expert”). The Environmental Expert shall be given reasonable access to all relevant records related to the Delta Environmental Indemnity Claim(s) or Pi Environmental Indemnity Claim(s) for which the parties have been unable to mutually agree on the Delta Estimated Environmental Losses or the Pi Estimated Environmental Losses, as applicable. Each of Newco and Delta will be afforded an opportunity to present to the Environmental Expert any materials relating to the determination of such Delta Estimated Environmental Losses or Pi Estimated Environmental Losses, as applicable, and to discuss such materials with the Environmental Expert; provided that copies of any materials provided to the Environmental Expert shall be contemporaneously delivered to the other party and the other party or its Representatives shall be given a reasonable opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Environmental Expert. The Environmental Expert shall provide a determination of the Delta Estimated Environmental Losses or the Pi Estimated Environmental Losses, as applicable, submitted to the Environmental Expert based solely on the materials provided to it by Newco and Delta, and not by independent investigation, as soon as practicable, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such materials. The determination by the Environmental Expert of the Delta Estimated Environmental Losses or Pi Estimated Environmental Losses, as applicable, will be conclusive and binding on the parties.
(d) In the event that on or prior to the Termination Date (A) (I) the actual amount of Losses (“Delta Actual Environmental Losses”) arising or resulting from or relating to any Delta Environmental Indemnity Claim for which Losses were included in the Delta Estimated Environmental Losses (a “Delta Unresolved Environmental Claim”) and that is finally resolved on or prior to the Termination Date is less than the estimated amount of Losses in respect of such Unresolved Environmental Claim included in the Delta Estimated Environmental Losses (“Delta Estimated Environmental Losses”) or (II) the actual amount of Losses (“Pi Actual Environmental Losses”) arising or resulting from or relating to any Pi Environmental Indemnity Claim for which Losses were included in the Pi Estimated Environmental Losses (a “Pi Unresolved Environmental Claim”) and that is finally resolved on or prior to the Termination Date is greater than the estimated amount of Losses in respect of such Pi Unresolved Environmental Claim included in the Pi Estimated Environmental Losses (“Pi Estimated Environmental Losses”), and (B) Delta would not have been required to make payments for indemnification to the Newco Indemnified Parties under Section 10.4(a)(iv) if (1) the amount of Delta Actual Environmental Losses (instead of the amount of Delta Estimated
91
Environmental Losses) had been taken into account in determining the Delta Environmental Overage or (2) the amount of the Pi Actual Environmental Losses (instead of the amount of Pi Estimated Environmental Losses) had been taken into account in determining the Delta Environmental Overage (i.e., the Delta Environmental Overage would not have existed), then (x) if Delta or one of its Affiliates is the then current holder of the Delta Note and if Delta satisfied its obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(iv) by decreasing the principal amount of the Delta Note by the amount of such obligations (the “Delta Environmental Payment Amount”), then Newco shall cause the principal amount of the Delta Note to be increased by the Delta Environmental Payment Amount, or (y) if neither Delta nor any of its Affiliates is the then current holder of the Delta Note or if Delta satisfied its obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(iv) by payment of the Delta Environmental Payment Amount in cash to Newco, Newco shall promptly pay to Delta an amount in cash equal to the Delta Environmental Payment Amount.
(e) If the Delta Environmental Overage exceeds $7,500,000 (the “Environmental Basket”), notwithstanding anything in Section 10.4 to the contrary, Delta shall be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(iv) solely with respect to such amount that exceeds the Environmental Basket; provided, however, that Delta shall not be required to make payments for indemnification to the Newco Indemnified Parties under Section 10.4(a)(iv) to the extent that the Delta Environmental Overage exceeds $15,000,000 (the “Environmental Cap”). Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.4 or this Section 10.6 to the contrary, JLL Holdco shall not be obligated to make any payment with respect to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.4(c)(vi) under any circumstance.
(f) In no event shall Delta or JLL Holdco be liable for any Delta Environmental Indemnity Claim or Pi Environmental Indemnity Claim, as applicable, first asserted after the Environmental Indemnity Claim Period.
Section 10.7 Specified Environmental Indemnity Claim Limitations.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 10.4(a)(iv) or Section 10.6, Delta shall not be required to provide indemnification for Losses arising or resulting from or relating to any Specified Environmental Indemnity Claim nor shall any such Losses incurred by the Newco Indemnified Parties be taken into account for purposes of the Environmental Basket to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from (i) post-Closing Releases at the Sites, (ii) any change in the industrial use of a Site to a non-industrial use, (iii) any disclosure (except for such disclosures that are required by applicable Laws or by a Governmental Authority) to any Governmental Authority by any Newco Indemnified Party which causes any Governmental Authority to investigate or exercise its regulatory or enforcement authority in respect of any Delta Environmental Matter, (iv) any Cleanup or similar activity other than as required to comply with the minimum standards permissible for industrial use of the Sites pursuant to applicable Environmental Law, including, as applicable and permissible under applicable Environmental Law, the use of institutional controls, including deed restrictions, signs, fencing, buffers and controls (provided that such institutional controls shall not unreasonably restrict or limit the industrial activities being performed on the Sites), or (v) any environmental investigation, sampling or testing of soil, subsurface strata, surface water, groundwater, sediments, ambient air or building materials at, on, under or within any portion of the Sites that
92
any Newco Indemnified Party performs or causes to be performed by any Person other than any such investigation, sampling or testing that is (x) in response to an immediate, imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment as required under applicable Environmental Law or (y) required to be performed pursuant to Environmental Laws or by a Governmental Authority, other than any such investigation, sampling or testing required to be performed at any Site in relation to any post-closing expansion, closure, sale or lease termination at any site (unless any such expansion, closure, sale or lease termination has been approved by the Delta’s managing board prior to the Closing Date).
(b) Notwithstanding Section 10.4(a)(iv) or Section 10.6, to the extent that any Losses arising or resulting from or relating to a Delta Environmental Matter for which any Newco Indemnified Party seeks indemnification from Delta are exacerbated or increased after the Closing Date due to a negligent act or omission of any Newco Indemnified Party, or their respective Representatives, including contractors and subcontractors, or third parties acting on their own or under the supervision or direction of any Newco Indemnified Party, Delta shall not be required to provide indemnification for any such increase in Losses, and no such increased Losses shall be taken into account for purposes of the Environmental Basket.

Section 11.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws thereof.
Section 11.7 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at Law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy at Law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives (a) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
Section 11.8 Publicity. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees with the other party hereto that no press release or similar public announcement or communication shall, if prior to, or after, the Closing, be made or be caused to be made (including by such parties’ respective Affiliates) concerning the execution or performance of this Agreement unless the parties shall have agreed in advance with respect thereto, except with respect to ordinary course press releases, public announcements or communications in connection with the Debt Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Delta may make or cause to be made any press release or similar public announcement or communication as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Laws or the rules and regulations of
95
any stock exchange upon which the securities of Delta are listed, (ii) Delta may disclose any information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby which it deems appropriate in its reasonable judgment, in light of its status as a publicly owned company, and (iii) JLL Partners, Inc. may disclose this Agreement and its terms to the limited partners of its investment funds under management with whom it has executed confidentiality agreements; provided, that in the case of (i) and (ii) above to the extent in the good faith judgment of Delta it is reasonably practicable to do so, Delta shall provide JLL Holdco reasonable opportunity in light of the circumstances to review such intended communication and shall consider any comments in good faith in advance of its issue.
Section 11.9 Jurisdiction; Forum, Etc.
(a) The parties hereto agree that the appropriate, exclusive and convenient forum for any disputes between any of the parties hereto arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be in any state or federal court in the State of New York. The parties hereto further agree that the parties will not bring suit with respect to any disputes arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court or jurisdiction other than the above specified courts; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit (i) Delta’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ability or right to join, implead or otherwise bring any third-party claim against JLL Holdco, Newco or any of its Subsidiaries in an Action brought against Delta or any of its Subsidiaries by a third party in a jurisdiction outside of the State of New York and JLL Holdco and Newco agree that, pursuant to Section 11.9(b), it (and its Subsidiaries, as applicable) will submit to such jurisdiction or (ii) JLL Holdco’s, Newco’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ability or right to join, implead or otherwise bring any third-party claim against Delta or any of their respective Subsidiaries in an Action brought against Newco or any of its Subsidiaries by a third party in a jurisdiction outside of the State of New York and Delta agrees that, pursuant to Section 11.9(b), it (and its Subsidiaries, as applicable) will submit to such jurisdiction. The parties hereto further agree, to the extent permitted by Law, that final and non-appealable judgment against a party in any Action contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring any Action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Source Parties in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letters or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof).
(b) To the extent that any party hereto has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each such party hereby irrevocably (i) waives such immunity in respect of its obligations with respect to this Agreement, and (ii) submits to the personal jurisdiction of any court described in Section 11.9(a).
96
(c) THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT THEY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE TO CAUSE THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES TO WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE OR INTERPRET THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EQUITY FINANCING.

The pro rata portion of the severance referenced in clauses (i) above shall equal the percentage of such Person’s working hours with Delta or its Affiliates that is allocated to the DPP Business prior to Closing or Newco or its Subsidiaries following the Closing, as documented in existing service agreements or intercompany agreements among Delta and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Transferred DPP Companies, Newco or their Subsidiaries, on the other hand, multiplied by the lesser of (A) the actual severance Liability with respect to such Person and (B) the cost of one year of service of such Person. The pro rata portion of the costs and expenses referenced in clause (ii) above shall equal 1.5x the annual costs associated with such service at the time of such termination as provided in the applicable Related Agreement or Service Level Agreement less the amount of any actual cost savings reasonably expected to be realized by Delta as a result of redeploying any Assets used to provide such services for use in the Excluded Businesses. The aggregate Liability for which Newco is responsible in respect of clause (ii) of this Section 11.12(b) shall not exceed €11,400,000.

Section 11.14 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Delta and Newco (and their respective Subsidiaries), Delta Counsel, Skadden and their respective partners and employees under Section 7.25, and their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, it being understood that the foregoing shall not limit the right of a Delta Indemnified Party or a Newco Indemnified Party to bring claims for indemnification under Section 10.4 in respect of Losses. In addition, the Financing Source Parties and their former, current and future assignees shall be considered third party beneficiaries with respect to, and shall be entitled to rely on, the last sentence of Section 10.1, Sections 11.6 (Governing Law) and 11.9 (Jurisdiction; Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial), and this Section 11.14.
Section 11.15 Interpretation. An item arising with respect to a specific representation or warranty shall be deemed to be “reflected on,” “set forth in” or “given effect in numbers on” a balance sheet or financial statement, to the extent any such phrase appears in such representation or warranty, to the extent that (a) there is a reserve, accrual or other similar item underlying a number on the face of such balance sheet or financial statement that relates to the subject matter of such representation or (b) such item is otherwise set forth on the face of such balance sheet or financial statement or in the notes thereto.
98
