Section
1.5 Transfer of
Inventory. Until the Closing Date, any loss of or damage to
the Inventory from fire, casualty or any other occurrence shall be the sole
responsibility of the Sellers. On the Closing Date, title to the
Inventory shall be transferred to Purchaser and Purchaser shall thereafter bear
all risk of loss associated with the Inventory and be solely responsible for
procuring adequate insurance to protect the Inventory against any such
loss. During the 60 day period following the Closing Date, the
Sellers shall ship the Inventory constituting finished goods ready for final
sale to Purchaser in such quantities and on such dates as so requested by
Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost, expense and risk, to such location or
locations as so requested by Purchaser.
Section
1.6 Working Capital
Adjustment. (a) No later than five business days
prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser its good faith
estimate of Closing Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing
Date (“Estimated
Closing Working Capital”) together with a statement of the calculation of
the Estimated Closing Working Capital. If Purchaser disagrees with
the Seller’s calculation of the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Purchaser
shall deliver to the Seller its own good faith estimate of Closing Working
Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date, together with a
statement of the calculation of the Estimated Closing Working
Capital. If Purchaser delivers its calculation of the Estimated
Closing Working Capital to the Seller, Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate
in good faith to
6
agree upon the calculation of the Estimated Closing
Working Capital. If Purchaser and the Seller cannot agree on such
calculation, the Closing shall nonetheless take place without delay using the
Target as the Estimated Closing Working Capital. If the Estimated
Closing Working Capital exceeds $12.312 million ( the “Target”), which
amount has been calculated as set forth in Schedule 1.6, then
the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such
excess. If the Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than the
Target, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of such
deficit. The amount by which the Purchase Price is increased or
decreased, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of this Section
1.6(a) is referred to as the “Estimated Working Capital
Adjustment”.
(b) As
promptly as practicable and in no event later than 90 days after the Closing,
Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a statement of Closing Working
Capital prepared in accordance with Del Accounting Consistently
Applied. “Closing Working
Capital” means, as of the opening of business on the Closing Date, the
excess of (A) Net Accounts Receivable plus Inventory Value plus prepaid expenses
and trade credits, each to the extent constituting Acquired Assets and
calculated in accordance with Del Accounting Consistently Applied, over (B)
Accounts Payable plus the accruals for Promotion Liabilities, Coupon Liabilities
and the Orajel monograph study, each calculated in accordance with Del
Accounting Consistently Applied; provided, that Closing
Working Capital shall not include any Tax asset or liability. “Inventory Value”
shall equal the sum of (i) the product of the amount of Inventory constituting
final goods ready for sale times the full cost (including labor, materials and
overhead as specified in Del standard costs, plus the cost of freight-in of
materials and variances) of such Products plus (ii) the product of the amount of
each other form of Inventory times the full cost (including labor, materials and
overhead as specified in Del standard costs, plus the cost of freight-in of
materials and variances) of such Inventory, less Inventory
reserve. “Net Accounts Receivable”
shall equal the excess of (i) Accounts Receivable (it being understood that any
accounts receivable generated in Puerto Rico are not included for purposes of
calculating the Target or Closing Working Capital) over (ii) the sum of the
accruals and reserves for Return Liabilities, markdowns, chargebacks,
coop/promotions, discounts and allowances and doubtful
accounts. “Del Accounting Consistently
Applied” means Del Laboratories, Inc. accounting principles, policies,
standards and procedures, which are in accordance with GAAP, consistently
applied; provided,
however, that to the extent Del Accounting Consistently Applied is not in
accordance with GAAP, the independent accounting firm engaged hereunder shall
use GAAP (it being understood that if the use of GAAP instead of Del Accounting
Consistently Applied results in a change to any amount included in the
calculation of Closing Working Capital, a conforming change shall also be made
to such amount to the extent included in the calculation of the Target); provided, further, however,
that in no event shall any respective reserves or accruals for the Business be
reduced from the amounts included in the Target except to reflect (i) cash
payments made by the Sellers subsequent to such date, (ii) changes in
circumstances or events occurring between such date and the Closing Date and
(iii) bona fide commercial transactions; provided, further, further,
however, the amount of trade credits included in Closing Working Capital
shall not exceed the net book value of Inventory bartered in exchange therefore
and included in the Target.
(c) The
Seller shall have 30 days to object to the calculation of Closing Working
Capital set forth in the statement. The notice of disagreement must
specify in reasonable detail the items contained in the statement that the
Seller disputes, the amount of each
7
item in
dispute, the Seller’s calculation of the amount of each item disputed and the
basis for any such disputes (it being understood that the only basis for such a
dispute is that the item was not calculated in accordance with this Agreement or
such calculation was mathematically inaccurate). The Seller shall be
deemed to have agreed to any items in the calculation of Closing Working Capital
set forth in Purchaser’s statement to which it has not objected. If
the Seller shall not object to any items in Purchaser’s calculation of the
Closing Working Capital, the calculation of Closing Working Capital set forth in
Purchaser’s statement shall be final. If the Seller shall so object,
Purchaser and the Seller shall use their reasonable efforts to reach agreement
as to the disputed items. If within 15 days following the Seller
advising Purchaser of its objections, Purchaser and the Seller shall not have
resolved all such disputed items, they shall promptly engage an independent
accounting firm to be mutually selected by them (or Ernst & Young if such
parties cannot agree on an independent accounting firm) to resolve any remaining
disputed items as soon as practicable. The scope of the disputes to
be resolved by the accounting firm will be limited to whether the items in
dispute that were included in the notice of disagreement delivered in accordance
with this Section 1.6(c) were prepared in accordance with this Agreement, and
the accounting firm shall determine, on such basis, whether and to what extent
Purchaser’s and Seller’s respective calculations of Closing Working Capital
require adjustment. The accounting firm’s decision will be based
solely on submissions by the Seller and Purchaser and their respective
representatives and not by independent review. In making its
determination of Closing Working Capital, the accounting firm shall be
instructed to determine only those disputed items that were included in the
notice of disagreement delivered in accordance with this Section 1.6(c) and
which remain unresolved and may not assign a value greater than the greatest
value for such item claimed by either party or smaller than the smallest value
for such item claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses
incurred in connection therewith shall be shared in equal amounts by Purchaser
and the Seller. The determination of the accounting firm shall be
final and binding upon each of the parties.
(d) Following
a final determination of Closing Working Capital, such final amount shall be
compared to the Estimated Closing Working Capital determined pursuant to Section
1.6(a) above. In the event that the final Closing Working
Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Purchaser shall promptly
remit to the Seller an amount equal to such difference. In the event
that the Estimated Closing Working Capital exceeds the final Closing Working
Capital, the Seller shall promptly remit to Purchaser an amount equal to such
difference.
(e) Each of
the Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with and make available to the other
parties and their respective representatives all information, records, data and
working papers, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and
personnel, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation and
review of the Closing Working Capital statement and the resolution of any
disputes thereunder. Such cooperation shall include permitting
Purchaser after the Closing Date to promptly take a physical inventory of all
Inventory held by the Sellers. Such physical inventory inspection
shall be conducted at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, during normal business
hours and in a manner that shall not interfere with the Sellers’ conduct of
their business.
Section
1.7 Assignment of Acquired
Assets; Consents of Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, (i) this Agreement shall not
8
item in
dispute, the Seller’s calculation of the amount of each item disputed and the
basis for any such disputes (it being understood that the only basis for such a
dispute is that the item was not calculated in accordance with this Agreement or
such calculation was mathematically inaccurate). The Seller shall be
deemed to have agreed to any items in the calculation of Closing Working Capital
set forth in Purchaser’s statement to which it has not objected. If
the Seller shall not object to any items in Purchaser’s calculation of the
Closing Working Capital, the calculation of Closing Working Capital set forth in
Purchaser’s statement shall be final. If the Seller shall so object,
Purchaser and the Seller shall use their reasonable efforts to reach agreement
as to the disputed items. If within 15 days following the Seller
advising Purchaser of its objections, Purchaser and the Seller shall not have
resolved all such disputed items, they shall promptly engage an independent
accounting firm to be mutually selected by them (or Ernst & Young if such
parties cannot agree on an independent accounting firm) to resolve any remaining
disputed items as soon as practicable. The scope of the disputes to
be resolved by the accounting firm will be limited to whether the items in
dispute that were included in the notice of disagreement delivered in accordance
with this Section 1.6(c) were prepared in accordance with this Agreement, and
the accounting firm shall determine, on such basis, whether and to what extent
Purchaser’s and Seller’s respective calculations of Closing Working Capital
require adjustment. The accounting firm’s decision will be based
solely on submissions by the Seller and Purchaser and their respective
representatives and not by independent review. In making its
determination of Closing Working Capital, the accounting firm shall be
instructed to determine only those disputed items that were included in the
notice of disagreement delivered in accordance with this Section 1.6(c) and
which remain unresolved and may not assign a value greater than the greatest
value for such item claimed by either party or smaller than the smallest value
for such item claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses
incurred in connection therewith shall be shared in equal amounts by Purchaser
and the Seller. The determination of the accounting firm shall be
final and binding upon each of the parties.

fully paid-up and royalty-free license to use the Retained Information in the
manufacture, packaging, distribution and sale of Products, including, without
limitation, in connection with the preparation of any response to an inquiry,
charge or investigation of a Governmental Entity related to the manufacture,

Acquisition and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby
is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement between Purchaser and the
Seller dated December 18, 2007, as supplemented on January 11, 2008 (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by
reference. Effective upon the Closing Date, the Confidentiality
Agreement shall terminate with respect to information solely to the extent that
such information relates to the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities;

available to the public and that copies of this Agreement and the Related

extent required by such law, order, rule or regulation or listing
agreement.
(c) The
Sellers shall keep confidential, and cause their Affiliates to keep
confidential, all information relating to the Business, Acquired Assets and
Assumed Liabilities, except as required by law, order, rule or regulation or

16
Section
4.2(c) shall terminate upon the third anniversary of the date of termination of
the Manufacturing Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement, whichever is

thereof, shall be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by the Sellers; provided, that all Transfer
Taxes which are refundable or otherwise recoverable by Purchaser shall be paid

the timely making and filing of all filings, Tax Returns, reports and forms as

personal property and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the
Acquired Assets for a taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the
Closing Date (collectively, the “Apportioned

based on the number of days of such taxable period included in the Pre-Closing

Apportioned Obligations that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax
Period.

law. The paying party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
non-paying party in accordance with Section 4.4(a) or Section
4.4(b), as the case
may be. Upon payment of any such Apportioned Obligation or Transfer
Tax, the paying party shall present a statement to the non-paying party setting

making any public announcement with respect to this Agreement or any Related
Instrument. The content of the initial press release and any trade
announcements or correspondence announcing the execution of this Agreement shall

that neither party shall disclose the amount of the Purchase Price to any third
person without the prior consent of the other party, except to the extent

Names. All goodwill arising from the use of the Names shall inure to
the exclusive benefit of the Sellers.

event shall Purchaser use any Names after the Closing Date in any manner or for
any purpose different from the use of such Names by the Sellers prior to the

the provisions of any so-called “bulk transfer law” of any jurisdiction in
connection with the Acquisition.

representatives access to, during normal business hours, such properties, books,

Assets, including access to officers and employees, customers, suppliers,
advisors and agents of the Sellers, as is reasonably requested (it being
understood that the parties shall cooperate in transferring certain essential

Purchaser’s ability to immediately operate the Business upon the Closing); provided, that any such
access shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the
Sellers.
20
(b) After the
Closing Date, upon reasonable written notice, Purchaser and the Sellers shall
furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, as promptly as practicable, such
information and assistance (to the extent within the control of such party or
their Affiliates) relating to the Business or the Acquired Assets (including
access to books and records) as is reasonably requested for the filing of all
Tax Returns, and making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for
any audit by any taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim,
suit or proceeding related to any Tax Return. The Sellers and
Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other
proceeding relating to Taxes related to the Acquired
Assets. Purchaser shall retain the books and records relating to
Taxes of the Sellers included in the Acquired Assets for a period of seven years
after the Closing Date. After the end of such seven-year period,
before disposing of such books or records, Purchaser shall give notice to such
effect to the Seller and shall give the Seller, at the Seller’s cost and
expense, an opportunity to remove and retain all or any part of such books or
records as the Seller may select.
(c) Each
party shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in assisting the other pursuant to this Section 4.11. Neither party shall be required by this
Section 4.11 to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the

operations.
Section
4.12 Refunds and
Remittances. Promptly following the Closing, the Sellers shall
irrevocably authorize, instruct and direct that the customers of the Business
shall make and deliver all payments on or after the Closing to such location,
bank and account as Purchaser shall specify. After the Closing, if
the Sellers or any of their Affiliates receive any amount which is
an Acquired Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to Purchaser in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Sellers promptly shall remit or
shall cause to be remitted, such amount to Purchaser at the address set forth in Section 8.1. After the Closing, if Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates receive any refund or other amount which is an Excluded Asset or is
otherwise properly due and owing to the Sellers in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, Purchaser promptly shall remit or shall cause to be remitted,
such amount to the Seller at the address set forth in Section
8.1. After the Closing,
if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates receive any refund or other amount which
is related to claims (including workers' compensation), litigation, insurance or
other matters for which the Sellers are responsible hereunder, and which amount
is not an Acquired Asset, or is otherwise properly due and owing to the Sellers
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser promptly shall remit,
or cause to be remitted, such amount to the Seller at the address set forth in
Section 8.1. After the Closing, if the Sellers or any of
their Affiliates receive any refund or other amount which is related to claims
(including workers' compensation), litigation, insurance or other matters for
which Purchaser is responsible hereunder, and which amount is not an Excluded
Asset, or is otherwise properly due and owing to Purchaser in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, the Sellers promptly shall remit, or cause to be
remitted, such amount to Purchaser at the address set forth in Section

the 180th
calendar day following the Closing Date that are in excess of the reserve for
21
Return
Liabilities in Closing Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to Section
1.6). Promptly following request by Purchaser after the
180th
calendar day following the Closing Date (but in any event within 10 business
days of such request), which request shall include reasonable documentation as
to the amount of such Return Liabilities, the Seller shall reimburse Purchaser
for any such amounts in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
subject to completion of the Dispute Procedures (if initiated by the
Seller).
(b) Purchaser
agrees that until the 180 th
calendar day following the Closing Date, and except for general commercial

prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not intentionally (i) encourage any
customer (including any distributor, wholesaler or retailer) to return any
Products, (ii) make any material change (or announce any prospective material
change) in prices, sales discounts or allowances or any other sales incentives
in connection with the sales of any Products or (iii) engage in any
marketing practices or activities or make any material change (or announce any
prospective material change) in any marketing practices or activities that in
each of (ii) and (iii) would reasonably be expected to result in material
Product returns.
Section
4.14 Consents. The
Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of
any third party to any Assumed Contract, which is required for the assignment of
any such Assumed Contract from the Sellers to Purchaser, including the payment
of any required transfer fees payable to the licensors; provided, that the Sellers
shall be responsible for the first $100,000 of such transfer fees, Purchaser
shall be responsible for the next $100,000 of such transfer fees and the Sellers
shall be responsible for all remaining transfer fees.
Section
4.15 Coupons. The
Sellers will reimburse Purchaser for all Coupon Liabilities incurred prior to
the 180th
calendar day following the Closing Date relating to coupons or rebates issued or
distributed before the Closing Date that are in excess of the accrual for Coupon
Liabilities in Closing Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to Section
1.6). Promptly following request by Purchaser after the
180th
calendar day following the Closing Date (but in any event within 10 business
days of such request), which request shall include reasonable documentation as
to the amount of such Coupon Liabilities, the Seller shall reimburse Purchaser
for any such amounts in cash by wire transfer of immediately available
funds. Within 10 days following receipt of such reimbursement
request, the Seller shall provide Purchaser with written notice of any dispute
with respect to the amount of the proposed reimbursement. The Seller
and Purchaser shall attempt to resolve any such dispute in good faith, provided
that if such dispute cannot be resolved within 15 days after Purchaser’s receipt
of the Seller’s dispute notice, such dispute shall be submitted to an
independent accounting firm for final resolution (or Ernst & Young if such
parties cannot agree on an independent accounting firm). The fees,
costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be shared in equal
amounts by Purchaser and the Seller. The determination of the
accounting firm shall be final and binding upon each of the
parties. The four foregoing sentences are referred to herein as the
“Dispute
Procedures.”
Section
4.16 No
Shop. Effective as of the date hereof and continuing through
the Closing Date, the Sellers shall not, directly or indirectly, through any
officer, director, agent or otherwise, solicit, initiate or encourage the
initiation of inquiries or proposals from, provide any confidential information
to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, any Person
22
or group
of Persons (other than Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective
officers, employees, representatives and agents) involving a sale by the Sellers
of the Business or all or substantially all of the Acquired Assets (other than
the sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice), or any similar transaction involving the Sellers, regardless of the
economic or other terms of any such sale or transaction. The Sellers
will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities or
negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any such
inquiry or proposal relating to the sale of the Business or all or substantially
all of the Acquired Assets.
Section
4.17 Employees. Between
the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice and at
reasonable times, the Seller will provide Purchaser access to the employees of
the Sellers primarily engaged in the Business as Purchaser shall reasonably
request to enable Purchaser to make offers of employment to such
employees. The employees of the Business set forth on Schedule 4.17 are
entitled to receive stay bonuses from the Sellers in the amounts set forth
opposite their names on Schedule
4.17. The Sellers shall be solely responsible for the payment
of all such stay bonuses. The Sellers shall not interfere with any
negotiations between Purchaser and such employees with respect to such offers of
employment, and Purchaser shall be entitled (but not obligated) to employ each
such employee subject to consummation of the Acquisition; provided, that the Sellers
may provide additional stay bonuses at their sole discretion to any employee
that has not been offered employment by Purchaser within two months of the date
hereof, or who has declined any such offer of employment. No offer of
employment made pursuant to this Section may take effect prior to the expiration
or termination of the Transitional Services Agreement without the Seller’s
consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Purchaser shall
not between the date of this Agreement and the termination of the Transitional
Services Agreement or Manufacturing Agreement (whichever is later) solicit for
employment any other employee of the Sellers except as part of a general
solicitation not directed at any such employees.
Section
4.18 Non-Competition and
Non-Solicitation Agreements.
(a) During
the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of
the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”),
the Seller covenants and agrees not to, and shall cause Coty Inc. and its
subsidiaries (together with the Seller, the “Restricted
Affiliates”) not to, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the United
States, the United Kingdom or Canada, conduct, manage, operate or have an
ownership interest in any business or enterprise that distributes, markets or
sells products that compete with Products of the Business that are (i) oral
analgesics for toothache pain, teething pain and mouth sores, used for dry mouth
and tooth desensitization, and oral rinses for pain relief, (ii) oral hygiene
and sore throat products for babies or toddlers or (iii) over the counter
therapeutic products for babies and toddlers for the treatment of eczema, cradle
cap, ear ache and stomach discomfort (each, a “Competing Business”);
provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not restrict the Restricted Affiliates from (x) acquiring or
owning as an investment, directly or indirectly, securities or any indebtedness
of any person engaged in a Competing Business if the Restricted Affiliates do
not, directly or indirectly, beneficially own in the aggregate more than 20% of
the outstanding shares or equity of such person or (y) acquiring and continuing
to hold, manage or operate any business or person engaged in a Competing
Business if such Competing Business accounts for less than 20% of such business’
or person’s consolidated annual revenues, or less than $25 million in
annual
23
revenues,
in each case during the year prior to such acquisition being made (or, if
earlier, the entry into the definitive agreement providing for the making of
such acquisition). In the event the Restricted Affiliates acquire any
business or person, the acquisition of which would otherwise violate this
Section 4.18(a), the Restricted Affiliates shall not be in violation of this
Section 4.18(a) if the Competing Business of such business or person accounts
for more than 15% of such business’ or person’s consolidated annual revenues
during the year prior to such acquisition being made (or, if earlier, the entry
into the definitive agreement providing for the making of such acquisition) and,
as soon as practicable, but in any event within 120 days after the closing of
such acquisition, the Restricted Affiliates commence efforts to divest the
portion of such acquired person or business required in order to otherwise
comply with this Section 4.18(a) and, within one year after the closing of such
acquisition, the Restricted Affiliates consummate the divestiture of the portion
of such acquired person or business required in order to otherwise comply with
this Section 4.18.
(b) Nothing
contained in Section 4.18(a) shall prevent the Restricted Affiliates from
continuing to engage in or have any ownership interest in any business or
activity in which they are currently engaged or in which they currently have an
ownership interest (other than the Business).
(c) During
the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of
the Closing Date, the Seller shall not, and shall cause the Affiliate Sellers
and Coty Inc. and its subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, or
induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any former employee, staff member or
independent contractor of the Business, who was employed or retained by the
Business in the one-year period prior to the Closing Date, and who was hired by
Purchaser or its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date in accordance with
Section
4.17 of this Agreement, to leave the
employ or service of Purchaser or its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, nor
shall they offer or provide employment, either on a full-time basis or part-time
or consulting basis, to any such employee, staff member or independent
contractor; provided, however, that (i) the
Sellers and Coty Inc. and its subsidiaries may solicit or hire any employee who
has received notice terminating their employment with Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates and (ii) the Sellers and Coty Inc. and its subsidiaries shall be free
to conduct a general advertising or solicitation program that is not
specifically targeted at any such former employees, staff members or independent
contractors.
(d) The
Seller acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section
4.18 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business
interests of Purchaser and its investment in the Business. Neither
the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall contest that Purchaser’s remedies at
law for any breach or threat of breach by any such person of the provisions of
this Section 4.18 will be inadequate, and that Purchaser shall be entitled to
seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this
Section 4.18 and to enforce specifically such terms and provisions, in addition
to any other remedy to which Purchaser may be entitled at law or
equity. The restrictive covenants contained in this Section
4.18 are covenants
independent of any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement
between the parties hereunder and the existence of any claim which the Seller or
any Affiliate may allege against Purchaser under any other provision of this
Agreement or any other agreement will not prevent the enforcement of these
covenants. If any of the provisions contained in this Section 4.18
shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope,
activity or
24
subject,
then such provision shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be
valid and enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law or the
determination by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section
4.19 Certain Financial
Information. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing
Date, the Sellers will deliver to Purchaser, (i) no later than 20 calendar days
after the end of each calendar month, a statement of the Business’ unaudited
statement of Selling Margin for the Products for the immediately preceding
calendar month, which shall fairly present in all material respects the Selling
Margin for the Products for the period presented in accordance with Del
Accounting Consistently Applied.
Section
4.20 Trademarks. Purchaser
shall bear the costs of preparation and execution (including notarization,
legalization or such other legal formalities as may be required by the relevant
trademark office in connection with a party’s execution of the document as a
prerequisite to the recording of such document) of all Trademark assignments to
be executed pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Related Transfer
Instruments in any country other than the United States. Purchaser
shall make all such filings following the Closing at such times as it deems
necessary or appropriate, and the Sellers shall provide all assistance, at
Purchaser’s expense, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser relating
thereto, including execution of all applicable Trademark assignments prepared by
Purchaser. Purchaser shall bear all fees, costs, taxes and expenses
in connection with recording the assignments of the Intellectual Property
identified in the Assignment of Trademarks and the Assignment of Patent, which
assignments shall be filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (or the
appropriate foreign counterpart office) on or promptly following the Closing
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall, promptly
following the date hereof, (i) make, execute and file such assignments and
conveyances as may be necessary to effect and confirm that the Seller is the
owner of record of the Trademarks identified on Schedule 2.7 as pending or
registered outside the United States, and (ii) provide Purchaser with copies or
other evidence confirming such filings. The Seller shall bear all fees, costs,
taxes and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution and recording
of such assignments and conveyances as may be necessary to confirm and record in
the Seller's name the non-U.S. Trademarks to the extent they are
currently in the name of a third party.
Section
4.21 Promotion
Liabilities. The Sellers will reimburse Purchaser for all
Promotion Liabilities incurred prior to the 270th
calendar day following the Closing Date relating to the marketing, distribution

calendar day following the Closing Date relating to coupons or rebates issued or
distributed before the Closing Date and (c) the excess, if any, of the reserve
for Return Liabilities in Closing Working Capital (as finally determined
pursuant to Section

calendar day ollowing the Closing Date. Promptly following request by
Purchaser after the 270th

their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and

warranties of the Seller contained in Section 2.2 (Authority; Execution and

Purchaser shall indemnify the Sellers, their Affiliates and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and

promptly upon written request), to the extent arising from:
(i) any
breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this
Agreement or in any Related Transfer Instrument;

warranties of the Purchaser contained in Section 3.2 (Authority; Execution and Delivery;
Enforceability) shall not be subject to any of the limitations of this clause
(iii).
Section
6.4 Calculation of
Losses. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is
provided under Section 6.2(a) or Section
6.3(a) shall
be net of any amounts recovered by the indemnified party under insurance
policies with respect to such Loss (net of any increase in insurance premiums,
retroactive premiums, premium adjustments or costs of collection) and shall be
reduced by any net Tax benefit actually realized by the indemnified
party. For purposes of this Agreement, an indemnified party shall be
deemed to have “actually realized” a net Tax benefit to the extent that, and at
such time as, the amount of Taxes paid in cash by such indemnified party is
reduced below the amount of Taxes that such indemnified party would have been
required to pay but for the receipt or accrual of the indemnity payment or
29
the
incurrence or payment of such Losses for which indemnification is provided under
this Article
VI. Any
indemnity payment under Section 6.2(a) or Section
6.3(a) shall be treated as an
adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by
Tax law.
Section
6.5 Termination of
Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold
harmless any party under Section 6.2(a)(i) and Section
6.3(a)(i) shall terminate on the 18
month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided,
that the obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any party under Section
6.2(a)(i) relating to Taxes shall
terminate the 30th day after the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof); provided,
further that the representations and warranties of the Seller contained
in (a) Section 2.2 (Authority; Execution and
Delivery; Enforceability) shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely and (b)
Section 2.6 (Title to Assets) shall survive until the third anniversary of the
Closing Date; provided,
further, however,
that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with
respect to any item as to which the indemnified party shall have, before the
expiration of the applicable survival period, previously made a claim by
delivering a notice of such claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis of
such claim to the extent then known) pursuant to Section
6.6 to the
indemnifying party. All other obligations to indemnify and hold
harmless any party pursuant to this Article VI shall not
terminate.
Section
6.6 Procedures. (a) In
order for a party (the “indemnified party”)
to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in
respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person against the
indemnified party (a “Third Party Claim”),
such indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party (the “indemnifying party”)
in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim after receipt by
such indemnified party of notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, that failure to
give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder
except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced
in the defense of such claim as a result of such failure. Thereafter,
the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, within five
business days’ time after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all
notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party
relating to the Third Party Claim.
(b) If a
Third Party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses,
to assume the defense thereof (exercisable by written notice to Purchaser or the
Seller, as applicable, within 60 days of receipt of notice of the Third Party
Claim from Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable) with counsel selected by the
indemnifying party and reasonably acceptable to the indemnified
party. The indemnifying party’s right to assume the defense of a
Third Party Claim (other than a Third Party Claim relating to an Excluded
Liability in the case of the Seller or an Assumed Liability in the case of
Purchaser) shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the
claim involves (and continues to involve) solely monetary damages; (ii) the
claim is not, in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, likely to
result in an aggregate liability that will exceed the then remaining amount of
the Maximum; (iii) the indemnifying party expressly agrees in writing with the
indemnified party that, as between the two, the indemnifying party is solely
obligated to satisfy and discharge the claim, subject to the Basket and the
Maximum, to the extent applicable, and (iv) the claim does not relate to or
arise in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal allegation, proceeding,
action, indictment or investigation. If the indemnifying party does
not assume control of the defense of such claim within the period of
30
time
required or, after assuming such control, the indemnifying party fails to
diligently defend against such claim in good faith (it being understood that
settlement of such claim does not constitute such a failure to defend), the
indemnified party shall have the right to defend and settle such
claim. Should the indemnifying party so elect to assume the defense
of and continue to be entitled to defend such Third Party Claim, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal
expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense and
continue to be entitled to defend such Third Party Claim, the indemnified party
shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ
counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the
indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall
control such defense. The indemnifying party shall be liable for the
fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party for any period
during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof or lost
the right to continue such defense hereunder (other than during any period in
which the indemnified party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party
Claim as provided above). Each party shall cooperate in the defense
of a Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention
and (upon the indemnifying party’s request) the provision to the indemnifying
party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third
Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to
provide additional information and explanation of any material provided
hereunder. Whether or not the indemnifying party assumes the defense
of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall not admit any liability with
respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without
the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the indemnifying party assumes
the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any
settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the indemnifying
party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to
pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim,
which releases the indemnified party completely in connection with such Third
Party Claim and that would not otherwise materially adversely affect the
indemnified party.
(c) Other
Claims. In the event any indemnified party should have a claim
against any indemnifying party under Section 6.2 or Section
6.3 that does
not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected
from such indemnified party, the indemnified party shall deliver written notice
of such claim with reasonable promptness to the indemnifying
party. The failure by any indemnified party to so notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability
that it may have to such indemnified party under Section
6.2 or
Section 6.3, except to the extent that the indemnifying party
has been actually prejudiced in the defense of such claim by such
failure. If the indemnifying party disputes its liability with
respect to such claim, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute. Such
negotiations will commence as soon as practicable after the indemnified party
shall have given notice of such claim to the indemnifying party. If
the dispute is not resolved through negotiations within 30 days, such dispute
may be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Section
6.7 Sole Remedy; No Additional
Representations. (a) Except as otherwise
specifically provided in any Related Transfer Instrument, each of the parties
hereto
31
acknowledges
and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing Date with
respect to any
and all claims and causes of action relating to this Agreement (including the
Schedules) and the Related Transfer Instruments, the Acquisition and the other
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the Business, the Acquired Assets
and the Assumed Liabilities (other than claims of, or causes of action arising
from, fraud or intentional misrepresentation) shall be pursuant to the
indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI. In furtherance of the
foregoing, Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of
action relating to this Agreement (including the Schedules) and the Related
Transfer Instruments, the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, the Business, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed
Liabilities (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud or
intentional misrepresentation) it may have against the Sellers arising under or
based upon any applicable law or arising under or based upon common law or any
contract (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in
Section 6.2 or Section
6.3, as
applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the foregoing
sentence shall limit the rights of the parties to seek specific performance as
provided in Sections 4.18(d) and 8.13(a).
(b) Purchaser
acknowledges that none of the Sellers, their Affiliates or any other Person has
made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy or
completeness of any information regarding the Business furnished or made
available to Purchaser and its representatives, except as expressly set forth in
this Agreement (including the Schedules) or the Related Instruments, and none of
the Sellers, their Affiliates or any other Person shall have or be subject to
any liability to Purchaser or any other Person resulting from the distribution
to Purchaser, or Purchaser’s use of, any such information, documents or material
made available to Purchaser in any “data rooms”, management presentations or in
any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated hereby except to
the extent such information, documents or materials is included in the
representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement
(including the Schedules) or in any Related Instrument.
(c) Purchaser
also acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in the representations and
warranties set forth in this Agreement (including the Schedules) or in any
Related Instrument, there are no representations or warranties of the Sellers of
any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Business, and that Purchaser
is purchasing the Acquired Assets “as is”, “where is” and “with all
faults”. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as
expressly set forth in the representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement (including the Schedules) or in any Related Instrument, THERE ARE NO
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.
Section
6.8 Limitations on
Liability. (a) Notwithstanding any provision
herein, neither the Sellers nor the Purchaser shall in any event be liable to
the other party or its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, stockholders,
agents, or representatives on account of any indemnity obligation set forth in
Section 6.2(a)(i) and Section
6.2(a)(ii) or
Section 6.3(a)(i) and Section
6.3(a)(ii) for any indirect,
consequential or punitive damages except to the extent payable to third
parties.
(b) The
Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in resolving any claim or
liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other
under this
32
Agreement,
including, without limitation, by making commercially reasonable efforts to
mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability to the extent required by
applicable law.
(c) For
purposes of determining the existence of any breach of representation and
warranty or calculating the amount of Losses incurred arising out of or relating
to any breach of a representation or warranty (other than those in Sections 2.5,
2.13 and 2.14) in this Agreement (including the Schedules) or in any Related
Transfer Instrument, the references to “Material Adverse Effect” or “material”
or other materiality qualifications (or correlative terms), except when
expressed in accounting concepts such as GAAP, shall be
disregarded.
Section
6.9 Guarantee. Coty
Inc. hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and
not merely as surety, the due and punctual payment of any amounts owing by the
Sellers pursuant to the indemnification provisions of Section
6.2(a). Upon any failure
of the Sellers to pay punctually any such amount, Coty Inc. agrees to forthwith
on demand pay the amount not so paid as provided in this
Agreement. Purchaser may enforce Coty Inc.’s obligations without
first (a) suing the Sellers, (b) joining the Sellers in any suit against Coty
Inc., (c) enforcing any rights and remedies against the Sellers or (d) otherwise
pursuing or asserting any claims or rights against the Sellers or any of their
respective property, in the event of a breach of any of the Sellers’ obligations
under this Article VI. Coty Inc.’s responsibility shall not be
discharged, released, diminished, or impaired in whole or in part by (i) any
setoff, counterclaim, defense, act or occurrence which Coty Inc. may have
against Purchaser as a result or arising out of any transaction other than the
Acquisition, (ii) the amendment, modification, waiver or alteration of this
Agreement, with or without the knowledge or consent of Coty Inc., or (iii) the
inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser under
this Agreement, other than in the case of fraud or intentional
misrepresentation. Each of the defenses, limitations, conditions and
qualifications on and with respect to the obligations of the Sellers hereunder
shall apply with equal force and effect to the obligations of Coty Inc. in
respect of this Guarantee.

7.1 Termination. This
Agreement may be terminated and the Acquisition may be abandoned at any time
prior to the Closing:
(a) by mutual
consent of the Seller and Purchaser;
(b) by
Purchaser, if there has been a material breach by the Sellers of any covenant,

such breach has not been
waived by Purchaser or cured by the Sellers within 20 business days after
receipt of written notice thereof from Purchaser;
(c) by the
Seller, if there has been a material breach by Purchaser of any covenant,
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement which will prevent the

33
not been
waived by the Seller, or cured by Purchaser within 20 business days after
receipt of written notice thereof from the Seller;
(d) by either
the Seller or Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred by August 15,

transactions contemplated hereby; or
(e) by either
the Seller or Purchaser if a Governmental Entity shall have issued an
injunction, restraining order, decree or judgment, or taken any other action, in
each case permanently prohibiting the Acquisition, and such injunction,
restraining order, decree or judgment shall have become final and nonappealable;
provided, that no party
may rely upon this Section
7.1(e) to terminate
this Agreement if such party shall have failed to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to prevent the entry of such injunction, restraining order,
decree or judgment.
Section

Termination.

event of termination and abandonment of the Acquisition pursuant to Section 7.1, written notice
thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party hereto and this Agreement

by any of the parties.
(b) In
the event of termination pursuant to Section 7.1, such termination shall be without liability of
either party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant
or representative of such party) to the other party hereto; provided, that
if such termination shall result from the willful (i) failure of either party to
fulfill a condition to the obligations of the other party, (ii) failure to
perform a covenant of this Agreement, or (iii) breach by either party hereto of
any representation or warranty or agreement contained herein, such party shall
be fully liable for any and all damages incurred and suffered by the other party
as a result of such failure or breach.

provisions of this Section 7.2 and Sections 4.2
(Confidentiality), 4.6 (Publicity), 8.1 (Notices), 8.7 (Fees and
