None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.
 
Section 8.02 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Seller shall indemnify and defend each of Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:
 
(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(c) any Excluded Asset or any Excluded Liability; or
 
(d) any Third-Party Claim related to the foregoing that alleges facts that, if true, would entitle the Buyer Indemnitees to recovery under this Article VIII. 
 
Section 8.03 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify and defend each of Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) [Basket and cap limits on Seller indemnification obligations].
 

 
 
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 8.04(a) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation or (ii) any Fraud or willful misconduct.
 
(c) Any payments by Seller pursuant to Section 8.02 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received (taking into account any increase in insurance premiums relating to recovery under any such applicable insurance policy) by Buyer in respect of any such claim. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.
 
(d) Buyer shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.
 
Section 8.05 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the Indemnified Party, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the Indemnifying Party.
 
(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a Third-Party Claim) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof, but in any event no later than five Business Days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits material rights or material defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within three Business Days following receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Partys expense and by the Indemnifying Partys own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Partys right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.01) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
 
(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim and such offer (i) does not lead to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party, (ii) in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, would not be material adverse to its business or the License and (iii) provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
 
(c) Direct Claims. Any indemnification claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a Direct Claim) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than five Business Days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Partys investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Partys premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
 
Section 8.06 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
 
Section 8.07 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 10.12, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from Fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, except with respect to Section 10.12, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other party hereto and its Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.07 shall limit any Persons right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 10.12 or to seek any remedy on account of Fraud by any party hereto.
 
 
 
 
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
 
Section 9.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:
 
(a) by the mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer;
 
(b) by Buyer by written notice to Seller if Buyer is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Seller pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Seller within 10 days of Sellers receipt of written notice of such breach from Buyer, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;
 
(c) by Seller by written notice to Buyer if Seller is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Buyer within 10 days of Buyers receipt of written notice of such breach from Seller, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Seller to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;
 
(d) by Buyer or Seller in the event that: (i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited; or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable;
 
(e) by Seller by written notice to Buyer if the OMMU Approval has not been obtained by the date that is 90 days from the Effective Date (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that Seller may elect to extend the Outside Date for additional 30-day periods until May 1, 2022 by written notice to Buyer no later than three Business Days prior to the Outside Date and the expiration of any applicable 30-day period; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(e) shall not be available to Seller if Seller’s failure to fulfill in any material respect any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement is the primary cause of the failure to obtain the OMMU Approval on or before the Outside Date;
 
(f) by Seller by written notice to Buyer upon any termination of the Arrangement Agreement; or
 
(g) by Buyer by written notice to Seller if Closing shall not have occurred by May 1, 2022; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(g) shall not be available to Buyer if Buyer’s failure to fulfill in any material respect any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement is the primary cause of the failure to close on or before May 1, 2022.
 
Section 9.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article IX, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto except:
 
(a) as set forth in Section 6.01, this Article IX and Article X hereof;
 
(b) (i) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(c) or Section 9.01(e), then Buyer and Seller shall promptly provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Initial Deposit to Seller, and Seller shall retain the Initial Deposit in consideration of the opportunity cost of the Company’s exclusivity with Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any other subsection of Section 9.01, then Buyer and Seller shall promptly provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Initial Deposit to Buyer;
 
(c) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(a), Section 9.01(b), Section 9.01(d), Section 9.01(e), Section 9.01(f) or Section 9.01(g), and Buyer has deposited the Remaining Deposit with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.03, then Buyer and Seller shall promptly provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Remaining Deposit to Buyer;
 

 
 
(d) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(c), Buyer will pay to Seller as liquidated damages $2,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) as follows: (i) if Buyer has not yet deposited the Remaining Deposit with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.03 at the time of such termination, then by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days after such termination; or (ii) if Buyer has already deposited the Remaining Deposit with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.03 at the time of such termination, then Buyer and Seller shall promptly provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Termination Fee to Seller and the remaining amount of the Remaining Deposit to Buyer; and
 
(e) that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any intentional breach of any provision hereof.
 
The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in Section 9.02(b)(i) and Section 9.02(d) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements the parties would not enter into this Agreement, and that the releasing of the Initial Deposit to Seller in accordance with Section 9.02(b)(i) and the Termination Fee represent liquidated damages, which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages, including opportunity costs, which the Seller will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and resultant termination of this Agreement, and are not penalties. Buyer irrevocably waives any rights it may have to raise as a defense that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. Seller agrees that the payment of the Initial Deposit to Seller under Section 9.02(b)(i) and the Termination Fee are the sole remedies of Seller against Buyer in respect of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(c) or Section 9.01(e), as applicable; provided however, that nothing shall preclude Seller from pursuing additional damages, including for lost opportunities or other consequential losses, in the event of any intentional breach by Buyer of any provision hereof.
