Section 6.22 Certain Tax Matters.
(a) Tax Cooperation. Purchaser and Seller will cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing and preparation of any Tax Return or the conduct of any audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority relating to liability for Taxes in connection with the Purchased Assets. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the other Party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit or other examination and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Purchaser and Seller will retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Business and the Purchased Assets relating to any Tax period beginning before the Closing Date until [***] after the expiration of the statute or period of limitations of the respective Tax periods.
(b) Allocation of Taxes. For the purposes of this Agreement, all ad valorem Taxes (e.g., property Taxes) with respect to the Purchased Assets for a Straddle Period shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period based on the relative number of days of such taxable period before and including the Closing Date and after the Closing Date, respectively. For the purposes of this Agreement, all other Taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets for a Straddle Period shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided, however, that all permitted allowances, exemptions and deductions that are normally computed on the basis of an entire year or period (such as depreciation) will be allocated between the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period and the post-Closing portion of the Straddle Period pro rata according to the number of calendar days in each period.
Section 6.23 Covenant Not to Sue. Commencing on the Closing Date, with respect to the Products and any other products containing ponesimod, Seller and its Affiliates hereby covenant not to sue, or support or encourage any third party to sue, Purchaser or its Affiliates, sublicensees, manufacturers, importers, suppliers, distributors, resellers, purchasers, marketing partners and customers, for infringement of any of the S1P1 Patents, now or in the
31
future purporting to cover any of the Products or any other product containing ponesimod, based on Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliate’s making, having made, using, importing, selling, or offering for sale the Products or any other products containing ponesimod in or for the Relevant Jurisdictions. In the event any of the S1P1 Patents are assigned by Seller to a third party, including ROW Purchaser, Seller covenants that the foregoing covenant not to sue with respect to such S1P1 Patent(s) shall become an obligation of such third party upon the assignment of such S1P1 Patent(s) to such third party.
Section 6.24 Letter Agreement and Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Concurrent with the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall execute the Letter Agreement. At or promptly following the closing of the ROW Transaction, Purchaser, ROW Purchaser, and Seller shall execute the Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, through which (i) Seller will assign all of Seller’s rights and obligations under the Letter Agreement to ROW Purchaser and (ii) ROW Purchaser shall assume, all of Seller’s rights and obligations under the Letter Agreement.

Subject to the terms of this Section 6.25, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver such assignments, transfers, consents, assumptions and other documents and instruments and take such other commercially reasonable actions as may reasonably be requested to more effectively assign, convey or transfer such CMO Contracts.

Section 7.02 Indemnification by Purchaser.
32
(a) In addition to the indemnification set forth in Section 6.05(f), subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE VII, Xxxxxxxxx agrees, from and after the Closing, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses to the extent arising from or relating to (i) any Assumed Liability; (ii) any breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; or (iii) any inaccuracy or breach of any warranty or representation of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 7.03 Notice of Claims. Any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee claiming that it has suffered or incurred any Loss for which it may be entitled to indemnification under Section 6.05(f) or this ARTICLE VII (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the matter, action, cause of action, claim, demand, fact or other circumstances upon which a claim for indemnification under Section 6.05(f) or this ARTICLE VII (each, a “Claim”) may be based. Such notice shall contain, with respect to each Claim, such facts, supporting documents and information as are then reasonably available with respect to such Claim, including, to the extent known, a description in reasonable detail of the Losses suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party, the amount or estimated amount of such Losses (if known or reasonably capable of estimation) and the method of computation of such Losses, and a reference to the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant hereto in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. If any Claim is based on any action, claim, suit or proceeding (in equity or at law) instituted by an unaffiliated third party with respect to which the Indemnified Party intends to claim any Loss under this ARTICLE VII (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly [***] notify (the “Third Party Claim Notice”) the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim and offer to tender to the Indemnifying Party the defense of such Third Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give written notice of any Claim or to offer to tender the defense of any Third Party Claim in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VII, except (a) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for such increase) or (b) as provided in Section 7.05.
Section 7.04 Third Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] of receipt of a Third Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Claim, to assume the conduct and control, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and through counsel of its choosing that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party may compromise or settle the same; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party advance written notice of any proposed compromise or settlement and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim that commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action or does not provide for a full and complete written release by the applicable third party of the Indemnified Party. During such [***] period (and thereafter for so long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed and
33
is conducting the defense of such Third Party Claim), the Indemnified Party may not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party may consent to the entry of any judgment that does not relate solely to monetary damages arising from any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such Third Party Claim through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne solely by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control or conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party nevertheless shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, at its own expense, to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention and the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and (ii) reasonable access to employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
Section 7.05 Expiration. All covenants, agreements, warranties and representations made herein or in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing.

Section 7.06 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE VII, Seller shall not have any indemnification obligations for Losses under Section 7.01(a)(iii), other than in respect of Fraud, or any inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation (a) for any individual item or series of related items where the Loss relating thereto is [***] (the “De Minimis Amount”) and (b) in respect of each individual item or series of related items where the Loss relating thereto is [***]. [***]

Section 7.07 Losses Net of Insurance, Etc. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 shall be net of (a) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any non-affiliated third party and (b) any insurance proceeds actually received as an offset against such Loss, in each case, net of any costs of recovery. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any such indemnification or insurance proceeds if and to the extent available. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this ARTICLE VII had such determination been made at the time of such payment. The Indemnifying Party may require, as a condition to the provision of any indemnification hereunder, that the Indemnified Party execute an undertaking consistent with its obligations set forth in this Section 7.07.
Section 7.08 Sole Remedy/Waiver. Except in the case of Fraud, this ARTICLE VII provides the exclusive means by which a Party may assert and remedy Claims after the Closing. Except as set forth in Section 8.09(c) and this ARTICLE VII, effective as of the Closing, each Party hereby waives and releases any other remedies or claims that it may have against the other Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to the matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or relating to the Products or the Purchased Assets, except that nothing herein shall limit the liability of any Party hereto for Fraud or intentional misrepresentation. With respect to any Losses arising under this Agreement, Xxxxxxxxx agrees that Purchaser shall only seek such Losses from Seller, and Purchaser hereby waives the right to seek Losses from or equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief, against any Affiliate of Seller or any director, officer or employee of Seller (or any of its Affiliates).
Section 7.09 Indemnity Payments. In the event that either Party agrees to, or is determined to have an obligation to, reimburse the other Party for Losses as provided in this ARTICLE VII, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay such amount to the Indemnified Party in U.S. Dollars via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified in writing by the Indemnified Party.
Section 7.10 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
Section 7.11 No Consequential Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RELIEF MANDATED BY STATUTE, (I) NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE OTHER PARTY FOR LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS OR DAMAGES OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR MULTIPLIED DAMAGES THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OR ANY LIABILITY RETAINED OR ASSUMED HEREUNDER AND (II) NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE OTHER PARTY FOR PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO PRECLUDE RECOVERY IN RESPECT OF ANY LOSS DIRECTLY INCURRED OR SUFFERED FROM THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

Section 8.02 Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed (a) in the case of an amendment, by Purchaser and Seller and (b) in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
Section 8.03 Assignment. Neither Party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including by sale of stock, operation of Law in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all of the assets, without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that (a) Seller may, without such consent, assign its rights or obligations to an Affiliate, (b) Purchaser may, without such consent, (i) assign its rights to acquire the Purchased Assets hereunder, in whole or in part, to one or more of its Affiliates and (ii) collaterally assign this Agreement to any Person providing debt financing to Purchaser or its Affiliates, and (b) Purchaser may, without such consent, assign all of its rights under this Agreement to one or more Person acquiring all or a material portion of the business or assets of Purchaser, including by sale of stock, operation of Law in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all of the assets; provided, however, (i) no such assignment by a Party shall relieve such Party of any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) the permitted assignee shall also assume all obligations of the assigning Party in a written document that is enforceable by the non-assigning Party, and (iii) any permitted assignee must, to the satisfaction of the non-assigning Party, be an entity no less creditworthy than the assigning Party, with assets and experience sufficient, in the reasonable discretion of the non-assigning Party, to satisfy all of the assigning Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Any permitted assignee shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 8.03 shall be null and void.
Section 8.04 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Schedules expressly contemplated hereby and attached hereto (which are hereby incorporated by reference), and the other agreements and certificates delivered in connection herewith (including the Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement), contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the Transactions and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings between the Parties. Before signing this Agreement, the Parties have had numerous conversations, including preliminary discussions, formal negotiations and informal conversations at meals and social occasions, and have generated correspondence and other writings, in which the Parties discussed the Transactions and their aspirations for success. In such conversations and writings, individuals representing the Parties may have expressed their judgments and beliefs concerning the intentions, capabilities and practices of the Parties, and may have forecasted future events. The Parties recognize that such conversations and writings often involve an effort by both sides to be positive and optimistic about the prospects for the transaction. However, it is also recognized that all business transactions contain an element of risk, as do the Transactions, and that it is normal business practice to limit the legal obligations of contracting Parties to only those promises and representations which are essential to their transaction so as to provide certainty as to their respective future rights and remedies. Accordingly, other than the Confidentiality Agreement entered into between the Parties, the Transaction Documents are intended to define the full extent of the legally enforceable undertakings and representations of the Parties, and no promise or representation, written or oral,
37
which is not set forth explicitly in such agreements is intended by either Party to be legally binding. Each of the Parties acknowledges that, in deciding to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to consummate the Transactions, none of them has relied upon any statements or representations, written or oral, other than those explicitly set forth herein or therein.
Section 8.05 Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of a Party to the other Party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled by an Affiliate of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.
Section 8.06 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Purchaser, Seller and the Divesting Entities, or their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 8.07 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Letter Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be borne solely by the Party incurring such expenses; provided, however that Purchaser shall bear all ongoing costs associated with (i) [***], (ii) [***], and (iii) [***].
Section 8.08 Schedules. The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure for the purposes of the Section or subsection of this Agreement to which it corresponds in number and each other Section and subsection of this Agreement to the extent such disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face thereof to be relevant to such other Section or subsection. The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule to this Agreement shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by any Party, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, or is required to be disclosed under this Agreement.
Section 8.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; No Jury Trial; Specific Performance.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law, principles or rules of such state, to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would permit or require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
(b) The Parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in the State of New York for the resolution of all disputes or controversies between the Parties. Each of the Parties (i) consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any suit, action or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions; (ii) waives any objection that it may have to the laying of venue in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court; and (iii) agrees that service of any court paper may be made in such manner as may be provided under applicable Laws or court rules governing service of process. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE TO CAUSE THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES TO WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED AGREEMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS.
38
(c) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that in the event that such Party breaches its obligations under this Agreement, the other Party would be damaged irreparably. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, without posting bond or other undertaking, the other Party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court specified in Section 8.09(b) in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties may be entitled, at law or in equity. Each Party further agrees that, in the event of any action for an injunction or specific performance in respect of any such threatened or actual breach or violation, it shall not assert that a remedy at law would be adequate.
Section 8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and together shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party, it being understood that both Parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement, following its execution, may be delivered via .pdf or other form of electronic delivery, which shall constitute delivery of an execution original for all purposes.
Section 8.11 Headings. The heading references herein and the table of contents hereto are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
Section 8.12 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefore in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
Section 8.13 Non-Recourse.
(a) This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as Parties hereto (or the Divesting Entities) and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a named Party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named Party in this Agreement), no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, lender, agent, attorney, or other representative of any Party hereto shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities of any Party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith, except for the Divesting Entities to the extent specifically set forth in this Agreement.
(b) The provisions of this Section 8.13 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the directors, officers, employees, incorporators, members, partners,
