(d) Matters Involving Third Parties.

(i) If any third party shall notify any Person entitled to indemnification under Section 8(b) or 8(c) (the "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third-Party Claim") which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this 0, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within ten business days after receiving notice of the Third-Party Claim) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under this Agreement except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure; provided further that any claim with respect to Taxes shall be governed by the procedures set forth in 0 and not by this 0.

(iii) Unless and until an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim as provided in 000 above, however, the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ at its own expense counsel not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party.

(iv) In no event will the Indemnified Party consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of each of the Indemnifying Parties (not to be unreasonably withheld), unless the Indemnified Party shall have irrevocably and expressly waived in writing its right to indemnification under this Section 8 with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(e) Limitations on Indemnification

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Seller shall be required to indemnify Buyer for any Adverse Consequences arising from Sellers' breach of any representations or warranties contained in Sections 4(f)-(v) of this Agreement unless and until the aggregate amount of all such claims is at least 1% of the Purchase Price (and Sellers shall only be required to indemnify Buyer for such claims in excess of such amount). Sellers' aggregate liability under this 0 for breaches of any representations or warranties contained in Sections 4(f)-(v) of this Agreement and for any claims pursuant to 0 is limited to an amount equal to 20% of the Purchase Price.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Sellers shall be obligated to indemnify Buyer against any Adverse Consequences arising from or relating to any claim or liability to the extent such claim or liability and the Adverse Consequences therefrom are taken into account in determining the adjustment to the Preliminary Purchase Price pursuant to 0 above.

(iii) None of the Sellers shall be obligated to indemnify Buyer against any Adverse Consequences arising from or relating to any Remedial Measures except to the extent such Remedial Measures are (a) required by Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements or (b) reasonably undertaken in response to a Third-Party Claim, and then only to the extent of any such action, approved by the Sellers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and subject to Buyer's right, acting reasonably, to take actions in response to exigent circumstances pending receipt of such approval), reasonably necessary to attain compliance in a cost effective manner with Environmental Laws or to resolve in a cost effective manner such Third-Party Claim, in each case assuming continued commercial or industrial use of the subject property and employing risk based standards and institutional controls where available.

(f) Determination of Adverse Consequences. All indemnification payments under this 0 and under Section 9 below shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party net of any Tax benefit and insurance coverage that may be available to the Indemnified Party.

(g) Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 11(i), the Parties acknowledge and agree that, after the Closing, the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Section 8 and, with respect to Taxes, the provisions of 0, shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or with respect to the Acquired Assets, Assumed Liabilities, Excluded Liabilities and Retained Liabilities, including with respect to any environmental, health and safety matters.

SECTION 9. Tax Matters.

(a) Tax-Sharing Agreements. Any tax-sharing agreement between Seller and any of the Target Companies or their Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Closing Date.

(b) Tax Indemnification. Subject in each case to Sections 8(f), 8(g), and 11(m), the Sellers shall be responsible for and shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold the Buyer and any of its assignees and Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each a "Tax Indemnitee") harmless from and shall reimburse such Tax Indemnitee for any and all Taxes of or attributable to the Acquired Assets, the Target Companies or the Target Subsidiaries, and any expenses or other losses related thereto that are incurred, suffered or accrued, (A) for any Pre-Closing Period to the extent such Taxes exceed the reserve for Non-Income Tax liabilities included in the Closing Date Pro Forma Balance Sheet, and (B) for (i) any obligation to contribute to the payment of a Tax determined on a consolidated, combined, or unitary basis with respect to any group of which a Target Company or Target Subsidiary is a member prior to the Closing for Taxes in respect of a Pre-Closing Period or a taxable period which includes the Closing Date, (ii) any Taxes of any Person (other than Buyer or its Affiliates) as transferee or successor by contract or otherwise for Taxes in respect of a Pre-Closing Period or (iii) subject to Section 8(a), any misrepresentation, inaccuracy or breach of any representation, or any breach of a warranty or covenant, related to Taxes by any of the Seller, the Share Sellers, the Asset Sellers and/or any of their subsidiaries contained in this Agreement (or in any certificate, document, list or schedule delivered to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries hereunder) (any of the foregoing, a "Tax Loss"); provided, however, no Tax Loss may be claimed under this Section 9 by any Tax Indemnitee other than a single or aggregated Tax Loss in excess of $100,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall have no indemnification obligation pursuant to the foregoing clause (B) for Taxes included in the reserve for Non-Income Tax liabilities included in the Closing Date Pro Forma Balance Sheet.

(i) Seller shall be responsible for the timely filing (taking into account any extensions received from the relevant tax authorities) of all Tax Returns required by law to (A) be filed by the Asset Sellers, (B) be filed by any of the Target Companies on or prior to the Closing Date, (C) include the Target Companies in a consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return filed by Seller or any Affiliate (other than the Target Companies and their Subsidiaries) with respect to any taxable period ending prior to or including the Closing Date or (D) any other Income Tax Return of any Target Company that ends on or includes the Closing Date but is filed after the Closing Date (subject, in the case of Tax Returns described in clause (D), to the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). All Taxes due and payable with respect to such Tax Returns will be paid by Seller as and when required by law, other than (1) Taxes reflected in the reserve for current Non-Income Tax liabilities included in the Closing Date Pro Forma Balance Sheet and (2) Taxes attributable to the Business that are allocable to a Post-Closing Period, which Taxes shall be paid by Buyer as and when required by law. Such Tax Returns (and Tax Returns described in the first sentence of this 0 that include a Pre-Closing Period) shall be prepared and filed on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods unless a different treatment of any item is required by law, a closing agreement or other settlement entered into with a taxing authority, or decision of a judicial authority. Buyer shall be responsible for the filing (or causing to be filed) of all other Tax Returns related to Target Companies or their Subsidiaries and the payment of any Taxes related to such Tax Returns.

(ii) Seller shall include the income of the U.S. Target Companies and their Subsidiaries (including any deferred items triggered into income by Reg. Section 1.1502-13 and any excess loss account taken into income under Reg. Section 1.1502-19) on Seller's consolidated federal Income Tax Returns for all periods through the end of the Closing Date. The U.S. Target Companies and their Subsidiaries shall furnish Tax information to Seller for inclusion in Seller's federal consolidated Income Tax Return for the period that includes the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of the U.S. Target Companies and their Subsidiaries. In the case of Income Taxes, the income and expenses of the U.S. Target Companies and their Subsidiaries shall be apportioned to the period up to and including the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date by closing the books of the U.S. Target Companies and their Subsidiaries as of the end of the Closing Date. Taxes other then Income Taxes shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period based on the relative number of days in such taxable period that fall within the Pre-Closing Period or the Post-Closing Period, as the case may be.

(d) Tax Proceedings. If any third party shall notify any Person entitled to indemnification under Section 9 (the "Tax Indemnified Party") of any Tax audit or proceeding, proposed Tax assessment or other Tax matter (a "Tax Proceeding") which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the "Tax Indemnifying Party") under Section 9, then the Tax Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within ten business days after receiving notice of the Tax Proceeding, with an expedited time frame where necessary to comply with governmental deadlines in connection with such Tax Proceeding) notify the Tax Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that failure to timely give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under this Agreement except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Any such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the type of Tax involved in the Tax Proceeding, the tax year(s) at issue and the basis for the Tax Claim against the Tax Indemnifying Party, and shall include a copy of any materials received from the applicable Taxing Authority in connection therewith. In the case of any Tax Proceeding that is subject to this Section 9(d), the Controlling Party shall be entitled to appoint as lead counsel any legal counsel of its choice and shall control the conduct of the Tax Proceeding. In the case of any such Tax Proceeding, (i) the Controlling Party shall provide the Noncontrolling Party with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of the Tax Proceeding and a copy of the portions of all documents relating to the Tax Proceeding that are relevant to any Tax for which the Noncontrolling Party may be required to indemnify or may otherwise be liable, (ii) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Noncontrolling Party before taking any significant action in connection with the Tax Proceeding that might adversely affect the Noncontrolling Party, (iii) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Noncontrolling Party and offer the Noncontrolling Party a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with the Tax Proceeding (including, to the extent practicable, any documents furnished to the applicable Taxing Authority in connection with any discovery request) to the extent such materials concern matters in the Tax Proceeding that could adversely affect the Noncontrolling Party, (iv) the Controlling Party shall defend the Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith, (v) the Noncontrolling Party shall reasonably facilitate to the extent requested by the Controlling Party, and shall not impede, the Tax Proceeding, and (vi) except in the case of a Tax Proceeding with respect to a consolidated, combined, unitary or group Tax Return of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries for a taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date (other than such a Tax Return that includes solely Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries), the Controlling Party shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, of the Noncontrolling Party if such settlement, compromise or abandonment would have an unindemnified adverse impact on the Noncontrolling Party. If the Noncontrolling Party reasonably withholds such consent pursuant to the preceding clause (vi), the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their differences and, failing that, shall submit the matter to binding arbitration with a mutually acceptable arbitrator (with expedited time frames where necessary to comply with governmental deadlines in connection with such audit or proceeding) to resolve the parties' dispute in connection with the Tax Proceeding. "Controlling Party" means (I) Seller for any Tax Proceeding relating to a taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date, (II) Seller for any Tax Proceeding concerning any consolidated, combined, unitary or group Tax Return that includes Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (except for a consolidated, combined, unitary or group Tax Return that includes solely Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries), and (III) Buyer for any Tax Proceeding relating to a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date with respect to Buyer or the applicable Subsidiary, or any taxable period that begins after the Closing Date with respect to Buyer or the applicable Subsidiary (other than a Tax Proceeding of which Seller is the Controlling Party pursuant to the preceding clause (II)). "Noncontrolling Party" shall mean (IV) Seller in the case of a Tax Proceeding with respect to which Buyer is the Controlling Party and (V) Buyer in the case of a Tax Proceeding with respect to which Seller is the Controlling Party. The Controlling Party and the Noncontrolling Party shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith in connection with any Tax Proceeding that is subject to this Section 9(d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, nor any other person shall have any right to receive or obtain any information relating to, or have any rights with respect to, any consolidated, combined, unitary or group Taxes or Tax Returns of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries other than information and rights relating solely to items of the Target Companies, the Target Subsidiaries and the Acquired Assets. Furthermore, any rights of Buyer with respect to any consolidated, combined, unitary or group Taxes or Tax Returns of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries shall apply only to the extent that Buyer might be adversely affected, it being understood that any claim or issue that would increase Tax for which Seller is responsible and liable hereunder and decrease Tax for which Buyer is responsible and liable hereunder would not adversely affect Buyer.

(e) Code Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(i) At Buyer's option, Seller and Buyer shall join in making an election under Code Section 338(h)(10) (and any corresponding elections under state, local, or foreign tax law) (collectively, a "Section 338(h)(10) Election") with respect to the purchase and sale of the stock of the U.S. Target Companies hereunder. As a condition precedent to Seller making a Section 338(h)(10) Election (other than with respect to Alpharma USPD Inc.), Buyer shall pay to Seller, in cash, the amount of additional consideration necessary to cause Seller's after-Tax net proceeds from the sale of the Target Shares with the Section 338(h)(10) Election to be equal to the after-Tax net proceeds that Seller would have received had the Section 338(h)(10) Election not been made, taking into account all appropriate United States federal, state and local, and non-United States Tax implications (the "Tax Adjustment"). The amount of the Tax Adjustment shall be paid to Seller prior to or at the xxxx Xxxxxx signs Forms 8023 and 8883 to make the federal Section 338(h)(10) Election. Seller shall provide Buyer with a schedule computing the amount of the Tax Adjustment within 20 days after the Parties have agreed to the allocation of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 11(n). In calculating the Tax Adjustment with respect to any Section 338(h)(10) Election, the gain arising from the hypothetical sale of the applicable U.S. Target Company's stock with no Section 338(h)(10) Election (the "Hypothetical Stock Sale") and the hypothetical sale of the Target Company's assets arising from the Section 338(h)(10) Election (the "Hypothetical Asset Sale") each shall be deemed to be taxable at the highest U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S. corporate tax rates to which Seller is subject, and any other items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit of Seller and its Subsidiaries, including any carryover of such items from prior years, shall be ignored; provided that any net operating loss carryover, net capital loss carryover and excess credits attributable to the applicable U.S. Target Company and each other U.S. Target Company (except Alpharma USPD) shall be taken into account to the extent available. In furtherance of the cooperation provisions in Section 9(i), Seller will furnish Buyer with such information and assistance as Buyer may reasonably request to enable Buyer to determine the desirability and consequences of a making Section 338(h)(10) Election with respect to any of the U.S. Target Companies other than Alpharma USPD Inc., and all determinations required pursuant to this clause (i) shall be made in good faith.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall jointly execute at the Closing and shall file a Section 338(h)(10) Election with respect to the purchase and sale of the stock of Alpharma USPD Inc., and no Tax Adjustment shall be payable by Buyer in connection with such election. The Purchase Price allocated to the Alpharma USPD Inc. shares shown on the Allocation Schedule (as the amount so shown is adjusted pursuant to Section 11(n) to reflect any adjustment to the Preliminary Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2(f)) shall be increased to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary) to ensure that the aggregate tax basis of the assets of Alpharma USPD Inc., as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not reduced, immediately following the Closing Date, as a result of the Section 338(h)(10) Election. Any such increase shall reduce the amount of Purchase Price allocated to the shares of the other U.S. Target Companies in a matter mutually agreed by Buyer and Seller. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith, and each shall provide to the other such assistance as the other may reasonably request, to effect the adjustments described in this clause (ii).

(iii) Except to the extent permitted or required by this 00, neither Buyer nor any of the Target Companies, nor any of their Affiliates, shall make any election under Code Section 338 with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Indemnification for Post-Closing Transactions. Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller for any additional Tax owed by Seller (or any of its Subsidiaries) (including Tax owed by Seller (or any of its Subsidiaries) due to this indemnification payment) resulting from (i) any transaction engaged in by Buyer, the Target Companies or their Subsidiaries not in the Ordinary Course of Business on the Closing Date after Buyer's purchase of the Target Shares or (ii) any action taken by Buyer, or after Closing by any Target Company or any Subsidiary of a Target Company, during or in respect of a taxable year of Seller that precedes or includes the Closing Date not in the Ordinary Course of Business, in each case that affects the amount, timing or character to Seller and its Subsidiaries of any Tax item relating to the Target Companies or their Subsidiaries. Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer (or any of its Subsidiaries) for any additional Tax owed by Buyer (or any of it Subsidiaries) (including Tax owed by Buyer (or any of it Subsidiaries) due to this indemnification payment) resulting from any action taken by Seller after the Closing not in the Ordinary Course of Business , in each case that affects the amount, timing or character to Buyer or its Subsidiaries of any Tax item relating to the Target Companies or their Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 9(f), the making of any Section 338(h)(10) Election pursuant to Section 9(e) and any consequences deemed to occur as a result of such election shall not be treated as an action that is outside of the Ordinary Course of Business.

(g) Post-Closing Transactions Not in Ordinary Course. Buyer and Seller agree to report all transactions not in the Ordinary Course of Business relating to the Target Companies or Target Subsidiaries and occurring on the Closing Date after Buyer's purchase of the Target Shares on Buyer's federal Income Tax Return to the extent permitted by Reg. Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B).

(h) Tax Refunds and Credits. Subject to the following sentence, any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or any Target Company or any Target Subsidiary, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer or any Target Company or any Target Subsidiary becomes entitled, that relate to a Pre-Closing Period shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto, to the extent such refund or credit exceeds the amount reserved therefor as a Tax asset on the Closing Date Pro Forma Balance Sheet. Any Income Tax refunds that are received by Seller or any affiliate (other than Target Company or any Target Subsidiary), and any amounts credited against Income Tax to which Seller or any affiliate (other than any Target Company or any Target Subsidiary) becomes entitled, that are attributable to a carryback of Post-Closing Tax losses or credits attributable to the Business or any Target Company or Target Subsidiary, shall be for the account of Buyer, and Seller shall pay over to Buyer any such refund or the amount of any such credit within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto, provided that this sentence shall apply only to the extent that such Post-Closing Tax losses or credits are required by law to be carried back to a Pre-Closing Period and such carryback cannot be waived. To the extent requested by Seller, and at Seller's expense, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in applying for and obtaining any available Tax refunds with respect to Pre-Closing Periods.

(i) Cooperation. Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller (on behalf of its Affiliates), on the other, agree, in each case to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party and at no cost to the other party, to (i) furnish to the other party in a timely manner information and documents for purposes of preparing any original or amended Tax Returns to which 0 applies and contesting or defending any Audit, (ii) cooperate in any Audit, (iii) retain and provide on demand books, records, documentation or other information relating to any Tax Return until the later of (A) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extension, waiver, or mitigation thereof) and (B) in the event any claim is made under this Agreement for which such information is relevant, until a final determination, as defined under Section 1313(a) of the Code, with respect to such claim; and (iv) take such action as such other party may deem appropriate in connection therewith. From the execution of this Agreement through the Closing Date, none of the Sellers (to the extent it relates to the Business), the Target Companies or the Target Subsidiaries that are organized under the laws of a Core Jurisdiction shall (1) make or change any election in respect of Taxes, (2) adopt or change any accounting method in respect of Taxes, (3) enter into any closing agreement, (4) settle any material claim or assessment in respect of Taxes, (5) consent to any extension or waiver of any statute of limitation applicable to any claim or assessment in respect of Taxes (to the extent it relates to the Business), or (6) amend any Tax Return, in each case in a manner that would adversely affect Buyer, without the consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply with respect to the actions described in clauses (3) through (6) above in the case of a consolidated, combined, unitary or group Tax Return of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than a Tax Return that includes solely one or more Target Companies or Target Subsidiaries), or a Tax relating to such a Tax Return. After the Closing, the Buyer shall not (to the extent it relates to the Business), and shall not permit any of the Target Companies or the Target Subsidiaries that are organized under the laws of a Core Jurisdiction to, make or change any election in respect of Taxes, adopt or change any accounting method in respect of Taxes, enter into any closing agreement, settle any material claim or assessment in respect of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of any statute of limitation applicable to any claim or assessment in respect of Taxes (to the extent it relates to the Business), or amend any Tax Return, in each case with respect to a Pre-Closing Period and in a manner that would adversely affect Seller, without the consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld.

(j) VAT.

(i) Subject to Section 9(j)(ii), the consideration specified for all supplies made or deemed to be made under or in connection with this Agreement shall be exclusive of VAT. Seller and Buyer shall procure that any of their respective Affiliates receiving the supply in question shall pay to the Person making that supply (in addition to the specified consideration) all VAT for which the Person making the supply is required by any Taxing Authority to charge in relation to that supply. All VAT payable under this Agreement shall be paid two business days before that Person has to account for the same and the supplier shall provide a VAT invoice.

(ii) The Parties intend that any sale of the Acquired Assets within the European Union will be treated by the relevant Taxing Authority as a TOGC and the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to procure that any such sale is so treated. This obligation shall not require Seller or the Asset Sellers to make any appeal to any tribunal or court of law against any determination of any Taxing Authority that the sale does not amount to a TOGC, unless Buyer shall by such date as shall reasonably allow Seller to make such appeal or challenge within any applicable time limit give written notice to Seller that it requires such appeal or challenge to be made and shall first agree to indemnify Seller against all irrecoverable costs and expenses that Seller may incur by taking any such action.

(iii) Seller and Buyer shall procure that the Person retaining at the Closing the VAT records relating to a Business that is sold shall preserve such records for such periods as may be required by the relevant law and during such periods shall permit the other Party or its agents at all reasonable times and subject to reasonable written notice to inspect and take copies of such records at the cost of the Person requesting such inspection and/or copies.

(iv) If it is finally determined by the relevant Taxing Authority that any sale of the Acquired Assets under this Agreement does not constitute a TOGC, then Buyer shall procure that VAT chargeable shall be paid by the relevant Affiliate to the relevant Asset Seller two business days before the Asset Seller has to account for the same and against production of a valid VAT invoice and any VAT records provided by the Asset Seller to the Buyer or Buyer's Affiliate shall be returned to the Asset Seller. Buyer shall indemnify or procure that such Affiliate shall indemnify the Asset Seller on an after Tax basis against any penalty and interest charges incurred by the Asset Seller to any Taxing Authority in relation to such VAT.

(k) Exclusive Tax Remedy. The rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to indemnification for any and all Tax matters shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 8(a), 8(c) (which shall apply to any Tax Claim without regard to the limitations of Section 8(e), but with regard to the Tax Loss dollar threshold specified in Section 9(a)), 8(f) and 8(g), but shall not be subject to the provisions of Sections 8(b), 8(d) and 8(e).

Any Party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Parties notice in the manner herein set forth.

(h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

(i) Specific Performance. Each Party hereto acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by such Party and that any such breach would cause the other Parties thereto irreparable harm. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party hereto also agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by such Party, the other Parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, including in the form of injunctions and orders of specific performance.

(j) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Buyer and Seller (on behalf of itself and each of the other Sellers). No waiver by any Party of any provision of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party making such waiver, nor shall such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

(k) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

(l) Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Buyer and Seller, on behalf of the other Sellers and the Target Companies and their Subsidiaries, each will bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(m) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 9(e), all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as well as the cost of the filing of all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, shall be borne and paid equally by Seller and Buyer when due, and Seller and Buyer shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed by it with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable law, the Parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Taxes described in this Section 11(m) shall be governed by this Section 11(m) and not by Section 8 or 9.

(n) Allocation of Purchase Price. The Parties agree that the Purchase Price (and other capitalized costs) will be allocated among the Asset Sellers, the Share Sellers and the Note Sellers for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting purposes) as shown on (or pursuant to the methodology provided by) the Allocation Schedule attached hereto. Within 90 days following the Closing Date (or such later time as may be reasonable after the Purchase Price is determined), Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a schedule that further allocates (i) the portion of the Purchase Price (and other capitalized costs) shown on the Allocation Schedule for each Asset Seller, together with the Assumed Liabilities applicable to such Asset Seller, among the Acquired Assets sold by such Asset Seller to Buyer, and (ii) the portion of the Purchase Price (and other capitalized costs) shown on the Allocation Schedule for each seller of Target Shares among the Target Companies sold by such seller; provided that, if the Parties make a Section 338(h)(10) election with respect to the sale of the U.S. Target Companies, such schedule shall allocate the portion of the Purchase Price (and other capitalized costs) attributable to each U.S. Target Company, together with the liabilities of such Target Company, among the assets of such U.S. Target Company. If Buyer does not receive written notice of Seller's objection to such allocation within 30 days of its delivery to Seller, then such allocation shall be the final allocation and each of Seller, Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall report, act, and file Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation prepared by Buyer. If the Purchase Price is subsequently adjusted, the adjusted Purchase Price shall be reasonably allocated among the assets in a manner agreed by Buyer and Seller consistent with the methodology previously used.

(o) Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word "including" shall mean "including without limitation".

(p) Incorporation of Exhibits, Annexes, and Schedules. The Exhibits, Annexes, and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

(q) Governing Language. This Agreement has been negotiated and executed by the Parties in English. In the event any translation of this Agreement is prepared for convenience or any other purpose, the provisions of the English version shall prevail.
