WHEREAS,
Purchaser and Seller each own a 50% membership interest in the Company;
WHEREAS,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Seller desires
to
sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, Seller’s 50%
membership interest in the Company;
WHEREAS,
Purchaser and Seller desire to terminate, and/or acknowledge the termination
of,
any rights granted to Seller pursuant to the PSMA Operating Agreement which
are
personal in nature to Seller or otherwise not transferable or licensable,
including, without limitation, the rights contained in Article IX of the PSMA
Operating Agreement; and
WHEREAS,
following
the Closing, Purchaser, as the sole member of the Company, intends to amend,
restate and supersede in its entirety the PSMA Operating Agreement by executing

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

interests in the capital, profits, losses and distributions of the Company
and
all of Seller’s other rights and interests as a member of the Company,
including, without limitation, voting rights (the “Membership

payable by Purchaser on the Closing Date.
Section
2.3 Allocation
of Purchase Price.
(a) Purchaser
and Seller shall allocate the sum of the Purchase Price and the liabilities
of
the Company among the assets of the Company in the manner required by section
1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Within sixty (60)
days
after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to prepare
and deliver to Seller a proposed IRS Form 8594 allocating all such amounts
as

Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives in
connection with the preparation of such Asset Acquisition Statement, including
by furnishing such information and access to books, records, personnel and
properties as may be reasonably requested. Both Purchaser and Seller shall
file
such Asset Acquisition Statement in the manner required by Treasury Regulation

resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days of written notice to Purchaser of

accounting firms (the “Reviewing
Accountants”),
whose
decision on the matter shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.
Purchaser and Seller will each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the
Reviewing Accountant. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s
representatives, as well as the Reviewing Accountant, in connection with the
matters contemplated by this Section 2.3, including, by furnishing such
information and access to books, records, personnel and properties as may be
reasonably requested.
2
(b) Each
of
Purchaser and Seller agrees to (i) prepare and timely file all Tax Returns
in a
manner consistent with the Asset Acquisition Statement as finalized and revised
in accordance with Sections 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) and (ii) act in accordance with
the Asset Acquisition Statement for all Tax purposes, in either case, except
as
otherwise required by Law. In the event that any of the allocations determined
pursuant to such statement are disputed by any Tax Authority, the Party
receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the
other Party hereto concerning the resolution of such dispute.
Section
2.4 Withholding
Taxes.
Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise
payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller such amounts, if any, as it is
required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment
under
any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Law relating to Taxes. To
the
extent that amounts are so withheld by Purchaser, Purchaser shall provide Seller
with evidence of any amounts withheld, and such withheld amounts shall
nonetheless be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid
to
Seller.

or
licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in
every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the
assets or properties owned or leased by it requires qualification, except where

of
Seller.
Section

the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements
or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. This

and Approvals; No Violations.
No
filing with, and no permit or Consent of any Governmental Authority or any
other
Person is necessary for the consummation by Seller of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements. Neither the

the
provisions hereof or thereof will (a) conflict with or result in any breach
of
any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (b) result in
a
violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse
of
time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, modification,
cancellation or acceleration or loss of material benefits) under, any of the
terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which Seller is a party
or by
which Seller or any of its properties or assets may be bound, (c) result in
any
Lien on any part of the Membership Interest, (d) violate any permit or Law
applicable to Seller, or (e) violate the PSMA Operating Agreement, except in

adverse effect on (i) its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated
by
this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements or (ii) the Company.
6

ownership of the Membership Interest or that questions the validity of this
Agreement or the Collateral Agreements or any action taken or to be taken in
connection with this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements. There are no

the Company, pursuant to the PSMA Operating Agreement, the Delaware Limited
Liability Company Act or otherwise by reason of being a member of the Company,
including all Claims which shall have already accrued at the time of the Closing
and all Claims which may accrue after the Closing; provided,
however,
that
nothing in this Section 6.4(c) shall operate as (i) a waiver by either party
hereto of the terms, conditions, representations and warranties contained in
this Agreement, the Amended and Restated PSMA/PSMP License, the Collateral
Agreements or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein or (ii) a
release or discharge of any Claims which Purchaser or Seller may have against
the other with respect to any such terms, conditions, representations and
warranties.

elections by the Company for income and franchise tax purposes and all
determinations regarding the book basis, depreciation or amortization of any

controversies, shall be made and conducted by the Tax Matters Partner at the
expense of the Company, subject to the approval of Seller. The Tax Matters
Partner shall, at the expense of the Company and subject to the approval of
Seller, cause to be prepared and filed all tax returns (including amended
returns) required to be filed by the Company; provided,
however,
that
Seller shall have the opportunity to review any and all tax returns in advance
of such filing. In the event of a dispute between Seller and Purchaser
concerning the preparation and filing of the Company's tax returns, Seller
and
Purchaser agree to submit the dispute to arbitration to one of the major
nationally-recognized certified public accounting firms, whose decision on
the
matter shall be final and binding.
13
(c) The
Tax
Matters Partner shall be responsible for all negotiations on behalf of the
Company with the IRS or the Departments of the Treasury or Justice or any state
or local tax authority with respect to the income tax treatment of Company
items, and shall provide Seller with the opportunity, at the expense of the
Company, to participate in any such negotiations. The Tax Matters Partner shall
