Until such approval is obtained, Seller shall continue to be responsible for processing the FSS chargebacks on Buyer’s behalf, and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for same. Buyer and Seller agree that (i) Seller’s financial liability for the Chargeback Claims shall be limited to those commercial customers with which Seller has chargeback obligations as of the Effective Time, and (ii) any such chargebacks issued by Seller shall be made on terms and conditions comparable to Seller’s obligations as of the Closing with respect to each customer and shall be based on Seller’s terms of respective agreements as of the Effective Time. Seller shall utilize records from third party rebate administrators to demonstrate which chargebacks relate to Infergen sold prior to the Effective Time for purposes of determining Seller’s obligation.

(ii) To the extent that Seller processes Chargeback Claims which are the responsibility of Buyer, Buyer shall reimburse Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoices that describe the requested payments in reasonable detail.

(e) Procedures. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Buyer shall submit to Seller an invoice and supporting documentation relative to all Product Returns, Government Rebates, Commercial Rebates and Chargeback Claims received during the preceding calendar quarter for which Seller is financially responsible. Such invoice

Unless Seller contests such invoice in accordance herewith, Seller shall remit the total invoiced amount to Buyer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such invoice. In the event Seller in good faith disagrees with such invoice, the Parties shall, for a period not to exceed one (1) month , negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute, and, in the event a resolution is not reached, within two (2) Business Days after the end of such one (1) month period Seller and Buyer shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to a mutually acceptable independent arbitrator for resolution by such arbitrator with a one (1) month period. In the event the Parties cannot mutually agree on an independent arbitrator, Buyer and Seller shall each select an independent arbitrator. These independent arbitrators shall then select a third arbitrator to resolve the dispute. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon the Parties and the resulting determination shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The Parties shall equally split the reasonable fees and expenses of any arbitrator associated with the resolution of such dispute.

provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Buyer Indemnitee under this Section 9.2(a) for any Buyer Losses incurred by a Buyer Indemnitee to the extent arising out of or principally attributable to: (A) any act or omission by a Buyer Indemnitee, which constitutes negligence, recklessness, gross negligence, or willful misconduct on the part of such Buyer Indemnitee, or (B) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer or a Buyer Indemnitee in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (C) any failure of Buyer or a Buyer Indemnitee duly to perform or observe any provision, obligation, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Buyer or a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (D) the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 9.3. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event a Party’s right to indemnification hereunder arises out of or results from a Third Party claim (a “Third Party Claim”), each indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim (the “Indemnification Claim Notice”), or otherwise becoming aware of the existence or threatened existence thereof. Failure to give such notice shall not constitute a defense, in whole or in part, to any claim by an Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

(b) At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnitee in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 9.3(c) below, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party or any other Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or other Indemnitee in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless an Indemnitee from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Damages incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim with respect to such Indemnitee.

-46-

(c) Without limiting Section 9.3(b), any Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnitee’s own expense unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in advance by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (B) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 9.3(b) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense) or (C) if the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are both named parties to the proceeding and the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in furtherance thereof).

(d) With respect to any Buyer Losses or Seller Losses, as the case may be, relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnitee’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise materially adversely affect the business of the Indemnitee in any manner, and as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Buyer Losses or Seller Losses, as the case may be, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its reasonable discretion, shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall have obtained a full release from such Third Party in connection with any such settlement or disposition. With respect to all other Buyer Losses or Seller Losses, as the case may be, in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.3(b), the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Buyer Losses or Seller Losses, as the case may be; provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of Buyer Losses or Seller Losses, as the case may be, by an Indemnitee that is reached without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnitee shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e) Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each other Indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnitees and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information andexplanation of any material provided hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified

-47-

Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. If the Indemnified Party controls the defense of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party on the terms described above.

Section 9.4. Limitations.

(a) The indemnification provided for in Section 9.2(a)(i) and Section 9.2(a)(ii) shall not apply unless and until the aggregate Buyer Losses for which Buyer seeks or has sought indemnification hereunder, as stated in one or more claim notices, exceed a cumulative aggregate of $[***] (the “Basket”), in which case the right to recover Buyer Losses shall apply to the full amount of the Basket, and in no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller for Buyer Losses pursuant to Sections 9.1(a)(i) and (ii) exceed $[***] (the “Buyer’s Cap”); provided, however, that neither the Basket, nor the Buyer’s Cap, shall apply to any indemnification claim (i) involving fraud or willful misrepresentation on the part of Seller, (ii) based upon a breach of Sections [***], or (iii) under Section [***]

(b) The indemnification provided for in Section 9.2(b)(i) and (ii) shall not apply unless and until the aggregate Seller Losses for which Seller seeks or has sought indemnification hereunder, as stated in one or more claim notices, exceed the Basket, in which case the right to recover Seller Losses shall apply to the full amount of the Basket, and in no event shall the aggregate liability of Buyer for Seller Losses pursuant to Sections 9.2(b)(i) and (ii) exceed $[***] (“Seller’s Cap”); provided, however, that neither the Basket nor the Seller’s Cap shall apply to any indemnification claim (i) involving fraud or willful misrepresentation on the part of Buyer, (ii) based upon a breach of Sections [***], or (iii) under Section [***].

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall (i) limit the right of any Party to seek specific performance of, or equitable relief with respect to, another Party with respect to a breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or (ii) be deemed a waiver by any Party to this Agreement of any right or remedy which such Party may have at law or in equity based on any claim of fraud.

Section 9.5. Right of Setoff. Buyer may setoff any amount to which it is entitled under this Article IX against amounts otherwise payable to Seller hereunder or under the Ancillary Agreements, provided that any amount to be setoff is reasonably determined in good faith and is no greater than any amount to which Buyer is entitled to under this Article IX. Neither the exercise nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff shall constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

Section 10.13. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall lose any rights hereunder or be liable to the other Party for damages or losses on account of failure of performance by the defaulting Party if the failure is occasioned by government action, war, terrorism, fire, explosion, flood, strike, lockout, embargo, shortage of materials or utilities, vendor failure to supply, act of God, or any other cause beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the defaulting Party, provided that the Party claiming force majeure has exerted all reasonable efforts to avoid or remedy such force majeure; provided, however, that in no event shall a Party be required to settle any labor dispute or disturbance.

No Party shall be liable for the act of any other Party unless such act is expressly authorized in writing by both Parties hereto.

Section 10.15. Arbitration. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that there shall be a dispute among the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the indemnities provided in Article IX hereof, or the breach thereof, the Parties agree that such dispute shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Large Complex Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three persons experienced in the pharmaceutical business: within thirty (30) days after initiation of arbitration, each Party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two Party-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA. Within 45 days of initiation of arbitration, the Parties shall reach agreement upon and thereafter follow procedures assuring that the arbitration will be concluded and the award rendered within no more than six months from selection of the arbitrators. Failing such agreement, the AAA will design and the Parties will follow procedures that meet such a time schedule. The arbitrators (i) shall not have any power or authority to add to, alter, amend or modify the terms of this Agreement but shall specify rules sufficient to allow reasonable discovery by the Parties; (ii) shall establish and enforce appropriate rules to ensure that the proceedings, including the decision, be kept confidential and that all confidential information of the Parties be kept confidential and be used for no purpose other than the arbitration; (iii) shall have the power to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and conditions hereof in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity; and (iv) shall issue all decisions in writing. The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California, and all proceedings and communications shall be in English. Either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the arbitration award. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or any other type of damages not measured by a Party’s compensatory damages. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees and an equal share of the arbitrators’ fees and any administrative fees of arbitration. Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required by law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. In no event shall an arbitration be initiated after

-53-

the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the dispute, controversy or claim would be barred by the applicable California statute of limitations.
