days prior to the date on which the Tax Return in question is required to be filed or, if later, is
actually filed. The payments to be made pursuant to this Section 7.03(c) shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any final determination (which shall include the execution of Form 870-AD or
successor form) with respect to Taxes for the applicable tax period.
SECTION 7.04. Term of Indemnification. The rights to indemnification pursuant to
Section 7.01 and 7.02 shall terminate upon the second anniversary of the Closing Date for all
claims, except that rights to indemnification under Sections 7.01(a)(iii) and (iv) and Section
7.02(a)(iii) shall not terminate until 60 days after the expiration of the statute of limitations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights to indemnification pursuant to any portion of Section
7.01 or 7.02 shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the person to be indemnified
shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a
notice of such claim which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and
the computation of the amount thereof. The dates upon which rights to indemnification hereunder
terminate are referred to herein as the “Indemnification Expiration Dates”.
SECTION 7.05. Procedures.
(a) Tax Claims. (i) If a claim shall be made by any Taxing Authority, which, if
successful, might result in an indemnity payment to any Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.01
or 7.02, respectively, or which may result in an adjustment to the Taxes of any Seller, Acquiror or
Sellers, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other party in writing of such claim (a “Tax
Claim”). If notice of a Tax Claim is not given to the indemnifying party within a sufficient
period of time to allow such party to effectively contest such Tax Claim, or in reasonable detail
to apprise the indemnifying party of the nature of the Tax Claim, in each case
20
taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect to such Tax Claim, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party.
(ii) With respect to any Tax Claim relating solely to Taxes of Kos Investments or Kos
Holdings for a Preclosing Period, Sellers shall control all proceedings in connection with
such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in
their sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings,
hearings and conferences with any Taxing Authority with respect thereto, and may, in their
sole discretion, settle such claim and, if applicable, either pay the Tax claimed and xxx
for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any
permissible manner; provided, however, that Acquiror and counsel of its own
choosing and at its own expense shall have the right to participate fully in all aspects of
the prosecution or defense of such Tax Claim. Acquiror shall control all proceedings taken
in connection with any Tax Claim relating solely to Taxes of Kos Investments and Kos
Holdings for a Straddle Period, provided that in such case Acquiror shall not settle
any Taxes for the Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Sellers. Acquiror
shall control all other proceedings with respect to all other Tax Claims.
(iii) Acquiror, Kos Investments and Kos Holdings shall cooperate with Sellers in
contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation shall include the retention and, upon Sellers’
request, the provision to Sellers of records and information which are reasonably relevant
to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at
proceedings relating to such Tax Claim.
(b) Third Party Claims. (i) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any
indemnification provided for under Section 7.01 or 7.02, as applicable, in respect of, arising out
of or involving a claim made by any person against an Indemnified Party (other than claims relating
to Taxes which are subject to clause (a)) (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party
must notify the indemnifying party in writing of the Third Party Claim promptly following receipt
by it of written notice of the Third Party Claim (which notice shall include a reasonably summary
of the basis for such claim and an estimate of the applicable Loss to the extent then reasonably
determinable). Thereafter, the applicable Indemnified Party shall deliver to the indemnifying
party, promptly following receipt by it thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including
court papers) received by it from the person asserting the Third Party Claim relating to the Third
Party Claim (it being understood that delivery of such notices and documents by one Indemnified
Party shall satisfy such obligation for all Indemnified Parties in respect of such notices and
documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure or delay in delivering any items
contemplated to be delivered to the indemnifying party in respect of a Third Party Claim pursuant
to this paragraph shall only relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations
hereunder in respect of such claim to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such delay.
(ii) The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any
Third Party Claim and, if they so choose, to assume the defense thereof
21
with counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided, however,
that (A) such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the applicable Indemnified Party and
(B) the indemnifying party shall not have the right to defend any Third Party Claim that
seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable
relief. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, each 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 fees and expenses of counsel employed by
the Indemnified Parties for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed
the defense thereof shall be deemed indemnifiable Losses for purposes of Section 7.01. If
the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the
Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. 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, no Indemnified Party
shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third
Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third
Party Claim, the applicable Indemnified Parties shall agree to any settlement, compromise or
discharge of a Third Party Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its
terms provides for full indemnification of the Indemnified Parties in respect of the full
amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, which releases the
Indemnified Parties completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and that would not
otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Parties.
(c) Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under
Section 7.01 or 7.02 that does not involve a Third Party Claim or a claim relating to Taxes (which
are subject to clause (a) of this Section 7.05) being asserted against or sought to be collected
from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with
reasonable promptness to Sellers or Acquiror, as applicable (which notice shall include a
reasonable summary of the basis for such claim and an estimate of the amount of the applicable Loss
to the extent then reasonably determinable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure or delay
in delivering any items contemplated to be delivered to the indemnifying party in respect of any
claim pursuant to this paragraph shall only relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification
obligations hereunder in respect of such claim to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such
delay.
SECTION 7.06. Survival. The representations, warranties in this Agreement, and in any
document delivered in connection herewith, of or by Sellers shall survive the Closing until the
applicable Indemnification Expiration Dates. The representations, warranties in this
22
Agreement, and in any document delivered in connection herewith, or by Acquiror shall survive
until the applicable Indemnification Expiration Dates.

instructions given by an Escrow Party in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) In the event the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights under this

for all such reasonable fees and expenses. The Acquiror shall be liable for the payment of all
such fees and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent, except for such fees and expenses incurred by
the Escrow Agent due to (i) the failure of an Escrow Party to comply with any of its obligations
hereunder or (ii) the requirement by an Escrow Party that the Escrow Agent perform duties outside
the scope of this Agreement, which fees and expenses set forth in the immediately preceding clauses
(i) and (ii) shall be paid by the applicable Escrow Party.
(d) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice
to the Escrow Parties, which resignation shall become effective upon the acceptance of appointment
by the successor Escrow Agent as provided in this Section 6(d). The resigning Escrow Agent may
appoint a successor Escrow Agent, reasonably acceptable to the Escrow Parties. If a successor
Escrow Agent shall not have been appointed within 20 days after such notice of resignation, any of
the Escrow Parties or the Escrow Agent, at the expense of the Escrow Parties, may apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any successor Escrow Agent shall be a financial institution organized under the laws of
the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of not less than US
$100,000,000. Any successor Escrow Agent, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the
predecessor Escrow Agent, with a copy to each of the Escrow Parties, an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon such successor Escrow Agent shall, without further act, become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, obligations and
-3-
duties of the predecessor Escrow Agent hereunder with the same effect as if originally named
the Escrow Agent herein. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold an amount equal to any
amount due and owing to the Escrow Agent, plus any reasonable costs and expenses the Escrow Agent
reasonably believes may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with termination of this
Agreement.

negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent, or (b) its following any instructions or
other directions from the Escrow Parties, except to the extent that its following any such
instruction or direction is expressly forbidden by the terms hereof. Anything in this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or

transmission failure or damage reasonably beyond its control or other cause reasonably beyond its
control, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for damages to the other parties for any
