Section 2.05. Assignment of Contracts and Rights.

shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, solicit or hire any employee of Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries that was involved in the Business prior to the Closing. The restrictions on hiring set forth in this Section 5.06(d)shall not apply to any employee that has ceased to be employed by Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries or Buyer Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, prior to any solicitation by or discussions with the hiring party or its agents or representatives. For purposed of this Section 5.06(d), the use of general, non-targeted employment advertising shall not be deemed to be direct or indirect solicitation. The parties shall be entitled to injunctive relief requiring specific performance of this Section Section 5.06(d) and consent to the entry thereof.

(e) In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.06 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by Applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.06 and each provision thereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 5.07. Returns Policy. From and after the Closing, Buyers agree that they will not take any action intended to encourage, through the offering of incentives or changes in the returns policy of the Business or otherwise (other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with the past practice of the Business prior to Closing), customers to return Products shipped by Sellers or their Affiliates prior to the Effective Time.

Section 5.08. Release of Liens. Sellers agree, promptly upon the reasonable written request of any Buyer, at any time and from time to time after the Closing, to request from Credit Suisse such documents as any Buyer shall reasonably request in writing and as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the release of any Purchased Assets that constitute collateral securing Seller Parent’s existing credit facility.

Section 5.09. Non-Assertion. Following the Closing, the Sellers hereby agree not to initiate any action, or otherwise assert any claim, demand, cause of action or request for damages or other relief, either alone or in cooperation with any other Person, alleging that Buyers’ use of the Purchased Assets set forth in Sections 2.01(e) or (f) or the Marketing Materials infringe or otherwise violate the Intellectual Property Rights of any Seller or any of Sellers’ respective Affiliates.

ARTICLE 6

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.01. Tax Matters. Sellers hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to Buyer that:

(a) All Taxes owed by a Seller, a Selling Subsidiary or an Affiliate (whether or not shown on any Tax return) have been timely paid to the extent that any such Tax could be a Lien on the Purchased Assets or a liability of a Buyer.

(b) There is no extension of time within which to file any Tax return that would be binding on a Buyer. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where a Seller or Selling Subsidiary does not file Tax returns with respect to a Product that any of them is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction or that any of them must file Tax returns.

(c) Each Seller and Selling Subsidiary with respect to the Products has withheld and timely paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid and has complied with all information reporting and backup withholding requirements, including maintenance of required records with respect thereto.

(d) Each Selling Subsidiary has established, in accordance with GAAP, adequate reserves for the payment of, and will timely pay, all Taxes that arise from or with respect to the Purchased Assets and are incurred in or attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, the non-payment of which would result in a Lien on any Purchased Asset.

Section 6.02. Tax Cooperation; Allocation of Taxes. (a) Buyer and Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets (including access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Buyer and Sellers shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Purchased Assets for a period of at least six years following the Closing Date. On or after the end of such period, each party shall provide the other with at least 10 days prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period the party receiving such notice can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records. Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Purchased Assets.

(b) All personal property taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Purchased Assets (other than Inventory) for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (collectively, the “Apportioned Obligations”) shall be apportioned between the Selling Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based on the number of days of such taxable period included in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such taxable period after the Closing Date (any such portion of such taxable period, the “Post-Closing Tax Period”). The Seller Parent and the Selling Subsidiaries shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyers shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. The Selling Subsidiaries shall be responsible for all personal property and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to Inventory.

(c) All excise, sales, use, value added, registration stamp, recording, documentary, conveyancing, transfer and similar Taxes, levies, charges and fees (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions set forth in this Agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the transactions contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement or the Distribution Agreement shall be borne equally by Buyers and Sellers, such that each of Buyers and Sellers are respectively obligated to pay 50%. Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate in providing each other with any appropriate resale exemption certifications and other similar documentation.

(d) Apportioned Obligations and Transfer Taxes shall be timely paid, and all applicable filings, reports and returns shall be filed, as provided by Applicable Law. The paying party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non-paying party in accordance with Section 6.02(b) or (c), as the case may be. Upon payment of any such Apportioned Obligation or Tax, the paying party shall present a statement to the non-paying party setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the paying party is entitled under Section 6.02(b) or (c), as the case may be together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount to be reimbursed. The non-paying party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than 10 days after the presentation of such statement. Any payment not made within such time shall bear interest for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest published by the Wall Street Journal (Eastern edition) on the Closing Date as the “prime rate” at large U.S. money center banks in effect from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the date of payment. Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

ARTICLE 7

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.01. Survival. The representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that the representations and warranties in Sections 3.02, 3.12(a), 3.14, 4.02, 4.06 and 4.07 shall survive indefinitely (such representation and warranties, collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”). The covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the shorter period explicitly specified therein, except that for such covenants and agreements that survive for such shorter period, breaches thereof shall survive indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by law. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any breach of covenant, agreement, representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentence, if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought on or prior to such time.

Section 7.02. Indemnification. (a) Effective at and after the Closing, Sellers hereby jointly and severally indemnify and defend Buyers and their respective Affiliates harmless against and with respect to, any and all Damages incurred by a Buyer or its Affiliates to the extent arising out of:

(i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty (each such misrepresentation and breach of warranty a “Warranty Breach”);

(ii) any breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by a Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(iii) any Excluded Liability;

(iv) any Taxes imposed by Puerto Rico, a State of the United States (other than Delaware) or the District of Columbia as a result of the purchase by the Irish Buyer of the Inventory hereunder, or the sale of such Inventory by the Irish Buyer to WC US, being characterized by such jurisdiction as occurring in such jurisdiction.

provided that with respect to indemnification by Sellers for Warranty Breaches pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(i), (A) Sellers shall not be liable unless the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to such Warranty Breaches exceeds $7,500,000 (the “Deductible”) and then only to the extent of such excess over $3,750,000; (B) Sellers shall not be liable for any Damages arising out of any individual claim (or series of related or similar claims) unless the amount of Damages for the

individual claim (or series of related or similar claims) for which indemnification is being sought exceeds $50,000 and any Damages that are disregarded pursuant to this clause (B) shall not be aggregated for purposes of the preceding clause (A); and (C) Sellers’ maximum liability for all such Warranty Breaches shall not exceed $250,000,000 (the “Cap”); and provided, further, that the foregoing limitations in this Section 7.02 shall not apply to claims for indemnification under Section 7.02(a)(i) with respect to Fundamental Representations or Section 3.11.

(b) Effective at and after the Closing, Buyers hereby jointly and severally indemnify Sellers and their respective Affiliates against and agree to hold each of them harmless from any and all Damages actually suffered by a Seller or any of its Affiliates arising out of:

(i) any Warranty Breach;

(ii) breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or

(iii) any Assumed Liability;

provided that with respect to indemnification by Buyers for Warranty Breaches pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(i), (A) Buyers shall not be liable unless the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to such Warranty Breaches exceeds the Deductible and then only to the extent of such excess over $3,750,000; (B) Buyers shall not be liable for any Damages arising out of any individual claim (or series of related or similar claims) unless the amount of Damages for the individual claim (or series of related or similar claims) for which indemnification is being sought exceeds $50,000 and any Damages that are disregarded pursuant to this clause (B) shall not be aggregated for purposes of the preceding clause (A); and (C) Buyers’ maximum liability for all such Warranty Breaches shall not exceed the Cap; and provided, further, that the foregoing limitations in this Section 7.02 shall not apply to claims for indemnification under Section 7.02(b)(i) with respect to Fundamental Representations.

Section 7.03. Third Party Claim Procedures. (a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 7.02 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have actually prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense or prosecution of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, strictly at its own cost and expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of a suit or proceeding (i) involving criminal liability or (ii) to the extent the suit or proceeding seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; and provided, further, that the Indemnified Party may, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, at any time prior to delivery by the Indemnifying Party of the notice referred to in this sentence (but other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 7.03(a)), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the control of such Proceeding, it shall be conclusively deemed to have acknowledged that the Third Party Claim is within the scope of its indemnification obligation hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 7. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party will have the right (but not the obligation to) control such defense or prosecution with counsel of its choice at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if representation of both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would result in a conflict of interest (including as a result of there being legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party), then counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, if the Indemnified Party so elects, to retain separate counsel and to conduct the defense or prosecution to the extent necessary to protect the interests of the Indemnified Party, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 7.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.03, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim if (A) the settlement does not release the Indemnified Party and its affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim, (B) the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (C) the Indemnifying Party will not pay in full all amounts due under such settlement and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose. The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party.

(d) Each party shall cooperate, and cause their respective affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 7.04. Direct Claim Procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 7.02 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have actually prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its indemnity obligation for any Damages with respect to such claim, the parties 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 an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 8.06.

Section 7.05. Calculation of Damages. (a) The amount of any Damages payable under Section 7.02 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 7.02 for any (i) consequential or punitive Damages or (ii) Damages for lost profits.

Section 7.06. Effect of Investigation; Waiver. (a) (i) The right of Buyers and their respective Affiliates to indemnification based upon the representations and warranties of Sellers will not be affected by any investigation or knowledge of any of Buyers or their respective Affiliates. Such representations and warranties shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that any of Buyers or their respective Affiliates knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate.

(ii) The right of Sellers and their respective Affiliates to indemnification based upon the representations and warranties of Buyers will not be affected by any investigation or knowledge of any of Sellers or their respective Affiliates. Such representations and warranties shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that any of Sellers or their respective Affiliates knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate.

(b) (i) Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.06(a) to the contrary, Buyers and their respective Affiliates shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for any breach of any representation or warranty to the extent that, prior to executing this Agreement, Buyers had actual knowledge of such breach and failed to disclose such breach to Sellers. For the purposes of this Section 7.06(b), for any of Buyers to have had actual knowledge: Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx or Xxxx Xxxxxxx must have had actual knowledge (A) of the facts underlying such breach at the time of execution of this Agreement; and (B) that such facts were a breach of a specific representation or warranty set forth in the Agreement (assuming, for these purposes, that each of the foregoing persons has read this Agreement).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.06(a) to the contrary, Sellers and their respective Affiliates shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for any breach of any representation or warranty to the extent that, prior to executing this Agreement, Sellers had actual knowledge of such breach and failed to disclose such breach to Buyers. For the purposes of this Section 7.06(b), for any of Sellers to have had actual knowledge: the individuals specified in Schedule 1.01(a) must have had actual knowledge (A) of the facts underlying such breach at the time of execution of this Agreement; and (B) that such facts were a breach of a specific representation or warranty set forth in the Agreement (assuming, for these purposes, that each such person has read this Agreement).

Section 7.07. Mitigation; Insurance. (a) Each Indemnified Party must mitigate in accordance with Applicable Law any loss for which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement. If such Indemnified Party mitigates its loss after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of that loss, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party and pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of the value of the benefit to the Indemnified Party of that mitigation (less the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs of mitigation) within two Business Days after the benefit is received.

(b) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible, for any Damages payable pursuant to Section 7.02.

Section 7.08. Exclusivity. After the Closing, Article 7 will provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and each party hereby waives (except as specifically set forth in this Agreement) any such claims, whether at law or in equity, including claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to claims for breach of contract, breach of representation, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty. However, nothing in this Section 7.08 shall limit a party’s rights and remedies for fraud or willful misconduct or to seek specific performance in accordance with Section 5.06 or Section 8.13.
