5.14.5 Health Care Reform Fees.
(a) With respect to HCR Fees invoiced to Seller during 2015 based on sales in 2013 as an estimate of sales in 2014, Buyer shall be financially responsible for
51
that portion of Seller’s HCR Fees associated with the sale of the Product in 2013 that represents the portion of calendar year 2014 that follows the Closing Date.
(b) With respect to any adjustment in HCR Fees invoiced to either Party during 2016 based on actual sales in 2014, Buyer shall be financially responsible for that portion of the adjustment associated with the sale of the Product in 2014 that represents the portion of 2014 that follows the Closing Date.
(c) In the event that HCR Fees for the Product for 2014 or any adjustment thereto are invoiced to Seller, within 30 days following Seller’s receipt of such invoice, Seller shall provide to Buyer an invoice that includes a calculation of the portion of such fees allocable to Buyer, as set forth above. In the event that HCR Fees for the Product for 2014 are invoiced to Buyer, within 30 days following Buyer’s receipt of such invoice, Buyer shall provide to Seller an invoice that includes a calculation of the portion of such fees allocable to Seller, as set forth above. Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall pay to the other the amount of HCR Fees for which it is invoiced by the other Party under this Section 5.14.5(c) within 30 days after receipt of such invoice and reasonable supporting documentation. In the event that the United States Department of Treasury issues final regulations with respect to the determination of HCR Fees which mandates a mechanism the effect of which a party believes is materially and substantially different from that contemplated herein such that it would render the allocation method described herein impracticable or inequitable, it shall so notify the other party and propose an alternative allocation method, and the parties shall meet in good faith to discuss the alternative method.
5.14.6 Reconciliation. No later than June 30, 2015, Seller and Buyer shall reconcile expenses and other amounts reimbursable, payable or accountable by one Party to another (as of the end of the period ending six months after the Closing Date) as envisioned in this Section 5.14, and the Party owing money shall pay the other Party no later than July 31, 2015. To the extent that Seller continues to have obligations to pay rebates, Chargeback Claims or similar expenses on account of the sale of the Product, Seller and Buyer shall continue the financial reporting and reconciliation obligations of this Section 5.14 on a calendar quarter basis until all such obligations end. In such event, reconciliations shall occur within 45 days after the end of a calendar quarter and any payments due shall be paid within 75 days after the end of such calendar quarter.
5.14.7 Impact of Price Increases on Payment Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller’s financial responsibility for any rebate, Chargeback Claim, HCR Fee or other payment obligation under this Section 5.14 shall not take into account any price increases Buyer or its Affiliates may implement for the Product on or after the Closing Date. Buyer shall be financially responsible for the excess of the amount of any such payment obligation of Seller over the amount of such payment obligation without giving effect to price increases Buyer or its Affiliates may implement for the Product on or after the Closing Date.

7.1.1 Indemnification by Seller.

(a) (i) any breach as of the Execution Date or the Closing Date of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in Section 3.1 (as if such representations or warranties were made both on the Execution Date and on the Closing
55
Date) or (ii) any breach of any of the representations and warranties made by Seller in any Ancillary Agreement (to the extent such Ancillary Agreement does not contain indemnification provisions);

7.2 Claim Procedure.
7.2.1 Indemnification Claim Procedure. Except as provided in Section 7.2.2 with respect to Third Party claims, in the event of a claim made by a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give reasonably prompt written notice to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”),
56
which notice (an “Indemnification Certificate”) shall: (a) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued or in good faith anticipates that it will have to pay or accrue Losses that are subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2, as applicable, and (b) specify in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification (to the extent known) and contain a non-binding preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Indemnified Party claims to be entitled (to the extent known); provided, however, that the failure to give, or delay in giving, reasonably prompt notice shall not relieve the applicable Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such delay or failure. In the event that the Indemnifying Party agrees to or is determined to have an obligation to indemnify or reimburse the Indemnified Party for Losses as provided in this ARTICLE 7 the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2.2, promptly (but in any event, within 30 days of receipt of the Indemnification Certificate) pay such amount to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party objects to all or a portion of the Indemnified Party’s claim made in the Indemnification Certificate, the Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party of such objection by delivering a written statement (the “Objection Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party within 30 days following receipt of the Indemnification Certificate. The Objection Notice shall indicate whether the Indemnifying Party objects to all or only a portion of the claim specified in the Indemnification Certificate and shall specify in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnifying Party’s basis and reasons for such objection. An Indemnifying Party’s failure to deliver an Objection Notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2.1 within such 30-day period to any claim set forth in an Indemnification Certificate shall be deemed to be the Indemnifying Party’s acceptance of, and waiver of any objections to, such claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed that an amount equal to the full claimed amount specified in the Indemnification Certificate is owed to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party in its Objection Notice objects only to a portion of the claim set forth in the Indemnification Certificate (the amount of Losses claimed in the Indemnification Certificate to which the Indemnifying Party does not object shall be referred to herein as the “Agreed Amount”), then such Indemnifying Party shall, within 10 Business Days following the delivery of such Objection Notice pay the Agreed Amount to the Indemnified Party. If an Indemnifying Party shall provide an Objection Notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2.1, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith for a period of 20 days following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of the Objection Notice to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If no such agreement can be reached after such 20-day period of good faith negotiation, either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party may initiate Litigation for purposes of having the matter settled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
7.2.2 Third Party Claim Procedure. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a claim made by a Third Party (including any action or proceeding
57
commenced or threatened to be commenced by any Third Party) that such Indemnified Party in good faith believes may result in an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 7.1, such Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after receiving written notice of such claim) notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim (such notice, the “Claim Notice”). The Claim Notice shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by the Third Party making such claim and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in delivering a Claim Notice shall relieve the applicable Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such delay or failure. Within 30 days after receipt of any Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of the claim referred to therein at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense (which shall be subject to Section 7.3) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as: [REDACTED] If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of the defense of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall control the defense of such claim. The party not controlling the defense of such claim (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of such claim and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have materially conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such claim that cause the Indemnified Party to hire its own separate counsel with respect to such proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of a single counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling the defense of such claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading that may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such claim. Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required with respect to any such settlement or judgment if the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay or cause to be paid any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment
58
and such settlement or judgment includes no admission of liability by or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party from further Liability.
7.3 Limitations on Indemnification.
7.3.1 The provisions for indemnity under Section 7.1.1(a) or Section 7.1.2(a), as applicable, shall be effective only when the aggregate amount of all Losses for claims for which indemnification is sought from any Indemnifying Party exceeds [REDACTED] provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not be applicable for breaches of any Fundamental Rep.
7.3.2 In no event shall any Indemnifying Party have liability for indemnification under Section 7.1.1(a) or Section 7.1.2(a), as applicable, for any amount exceeding, in the aggregate, [REDACTED] provided, that the foregoing limitation on indemnification described in this Section 7.3.2 shall not apply to breaches of any Fundamental Rep.
7.3.3 The Indemnified Party shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses or Liabilities incurred by such party upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any indemnification rights hereunder. The amount of Losses recovered by an Indemnified Party under Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2, as applicable, shall be reduced by (a) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from a Third Party in connection with such claim and (b) the amount of any insurance proceeds paid to the Indemnified Party relating to such claim net of any increase in premiums resulting from such claim (a “Premium Increase”). If any amounts referenced in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) are received after payment by the Indemnifying Party of the full amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such receipt, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 had such amounts been received prior to such payment. If any Premium Increase is paid by the Indemnified Party after payment by the Indemnifying Party of the full amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 7, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of the Premium Increase.
7.3.4 If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a Third Party based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against such Third Party as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Third Party the amount of such payment; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party is the Seller and such Third Party is a customer, vendor or supplier of the Product Business, then Seller shall not pursue
59
such underlying claim in a manner that is, or would reasonably expected to be, materially detrimental to the Product Business.
7.3.5 The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement and any obligation of a Party to indemnify any Indemnified Party for such Party’s failure to perform or breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation contained in ARTICLE 4 shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect thereafter through and including the [REDACTED] anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that the Fundamental Reps shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive indefinitely or, if applicable, until 60 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations [REDACTED] provided, further, that if a Claim Notice or Indemnification Certificate relating to the breach of any representation or warranty or the failure to perform or breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation contained in ARTICLE 4 is given to the Indemnifying Party on or prior to the date on which the applicable survival period described in this Section 7.3.5 expires, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.3.5, such Claim Notice or Indemnification Certificate, as applicable, shall not expire at the applicable expiration date, but rather shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Claim Notice or the Indemnification Certificate has been fully and finally resolved.
7.3.6 [REDACTED]
7.3.7 For the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 7 in respect of any Loss to the extent such Indemnified Party has been previously indemnified or reimbursed in respect of such Loss
60
pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any Ancillary Agreement.
7.4 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
7.5 Exclusive Remedy. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and subject to Section 9.9, each Party acknowledges and agrees that, following the Closing, the remedies provided for in this ARTICLE 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for claims and damages available to the Parties and their respective Affiliates arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing herein shall limit the Liability of either Party for common law fraud or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, give rise to any right on the part of Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
7.6 Setoff Rights. [REDACTED]
ARTICLE 8
TERMINATION
8.1 Termination. Prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of any of the following events:
8.1.1 the mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller;
8.1.2 by written notice delivered by either Buyer or Seller to the other, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to December 31, 2014 (the “End Date”) (other than due to a breach of any representation or warranty hereunder of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement or as a result of the failure on the part of such Party to comply with or perform any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement);

8.2.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 by Buyer or Seller, this Agreement shall be terminated and have no further effect, and there shall be no liability hereunder on the part of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, except that Sections 5.3 (Publicity), 5.4 (Confidentiality), 8.2.2 (Effect of Termination), 8.2.3 (Withdrawal of Certain Filings) and ARTICLE 9 (Miscellaneous) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Nothing in this Section 8.2.2 shall relieve any Party to this Agreement of liability for common law fraud or any material breach by such Party of any
62
representation or warranty of such Party contained herein or any covenant or agreement of such Party contained herein.

The waiver by any Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.
9.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise specified herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, and whether or not the Closing takes place, each Party shall bear any costs and expenses incurred by it with respect to the Transactions.
9.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor either Party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party shall be void and of no effect; provided, however, that either Party may assign or delegate any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder to an Affiliate without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, further, that such assigning Party shall remain liable to fulfill its obligations hereunder from and after such assignment. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
9.7 Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by both Parties.

9.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the Parties.
9.9 Equitable Relief. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party hereby waives (a) any requirement that the other Party post a bond or other security as a condition for obtaining any such relief, and (b) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
9.10 English Language. This Agreement shall be written and executed in, and all other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in, the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version thereof, and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall control.
9.11 Bulk Sales Statutes. Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller with any applicable bulk sales statutes in any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions under this Agreement, it being understood that any Liabilities arising out of the failure of Seller to comply with any such bulk sales statute shall be Excluded Liabilities.
9.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.
9.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Schedules and Exhibits expressly contemplated hereby and attached hereto, the Disclosure Schedules, the Ancillary Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreement and the other agreements, certificates and documents delivered in connection herewith or therewith or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, promises and representations, whether written or oral, between the Parties with
