3.1.3
Commencing upon the Closing Date and ending upon the date that all Milestone Events have been achieved, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, to use Diligent Efforts to achieve each Milestone Event.
3.1.4
From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall notify the Seller promptly, but in no event later than five Business Days following the achievement of each Milestone Event (if any).  If, notwithstanding the fact that the Purchaser has not provided the Seller such a notice, the Seller believes that a Milestone Event has been achieved, it shall so notify the Purchaser in writing and the Parties shall meet promptly and discuss in good faith whether the applicable Milestone Event has been achieved.

The following shall be apportioned with respect to the Owned Real Property and the Seller Leased Real Property as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the day of Closing, as if the Purchaser were vested with fee simple title or leasehold title to the Owned Real Property or Seller Leased Real Property, respectively, during the entire day upon which Closing occurs: (a) rents, if any, as and when paid or collected (the term "rents" as used herein shall mean all payments due and payable by tenants under the Transferred Leases); (b) Taxes levied against the Owned Real Property or that are the responsibility of Seller under the Transferred Leases; (c) gas, electricity and other utility charges for which the Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing; and (d) any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Owned Real Property or that are the responsibility of Seller under the Transferred Leases which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in the area in which the Owned Real Property or Seller Leased Real Property is located.
3.2.2
Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 3.2.1: Any Taxes (excluding any Transfer Taxes) levied against the Owned Real Property or any personal property Taxes paid at or prior to Closing shall be prorated based upon the amounts actually paid.  If such Taxes for the current year have not been paid before Closing, Seller shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such Taxes which relates to the period before Closing and Purchaser shall pay such Taxes prior to their becoming delinquent.  Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate or assessed valuation last fixed.  To the extent that the actual Owned Real Property Taxes for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves within 12 months following Closing.  Nothing described in this Section 3.2.2 shall include Taxes that arise pursuant to entering into this Agreement.
3.3
Prepaid Amounts
At the Closing, in consideration for the Prepaid Items existing as of the Closing Date and in accordance with Section 3.1.1, the Purchaser shall pay the Seller an amount equal to the Prepaid Amounts.  The Seller shall notify the Purchaser of the Prepaid Amounts at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
3.4
Allocation of the Purchase Price
The allocation of the Purchase Price among the Transferred Assets sold by the Seller (the "Allocation") shall be determined as set forth in this Section 3.4.  The Allocation shall be in a form consistent with Form 8594, Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060 of the Code.  Each of the Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, will (a) be bound by the Allocation for purposes of determining any Taxes, and cause their Affiliates to determine any Taxes consistent with the Allocation; (b) prepare and file, and cause their respective Affiliates to prepare and file, all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation; and (c) take no position, and cause their respective Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the Allocation on any applicable Tax Return or in any proceeding before any taxing authority or otherwise.  Attached hereto as Schedule 3.4 is the Seller's proposed Allocation (the "Seller's Allocation").  If the Purchaser disagrees with the Seller's Allocation, the Purchaser may, within 30 days after the Closing Date, deliver a written notice (the "Allocation Objection Notice") to the Seller specifying those items set forth in the Seller's Allocation as to which the Purchaser disagrees, describing the disagreement and setting forth the Purchaser's proposed Allocation, which shall be consistent with Section 1060 of the Code.  If the Allocation Objection Notice is duly delivered, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall, during the 15 days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts.  If the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement, the Seller and the Purchaser shall promptly thereafter cause an independent accounting firm or other independent expert (an "Independent Expert") to resolve any remaining disputes in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and this Section 3.4, and the cost of such Independent Expert shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser.  If no Allocation Objection Notice is duly and timely delivered, then the Seller's Allocation as prepared by the Seller and as may be adjusted as herein provided in this Section 3.4 shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties.  In the event that the Seller's Allocation is disputed by any Governmental Authority, the Party receiving notice of the dispute will promptly notify the other Party hereto, and the Seller and Purchaser agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to defend such Allocation in any audit or similar Legal Proceeding.  In the event of an adjustment to the Purchase Price due to a Milestone Payment or any adjustment to the amount of the Prepaid Amounts, in each case, as set forth above, then the Allocation will be revised to reflect such Milestone Payment or the adjustment to the amount of the Prepaid Amounts.
3.5
No Duplicative Adjustments or Payments
For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall not be entitled to any duplicative reimbursement or adjustments to the Purchase Price or duplicative payments for Excluded Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Amounts, or any amounts under Section 3.2 or Section 7.5, to the extent that the Seller or any of its Affiliates has been compensated for such amounts pursuant to another provision of this Agreement, the Transitional Services Agreement or the Pre-Novation Agreement.

6.9.3
Any new encumbrances or defects that are disclosed in any update of the Title Commitment or Survey after the Execution Date are Permitted Encumbrances, except that those new encumbrances or defects ("Subsequent Title Encumbrances") (a) that constitute a Material Adverse Effect and (b) for which the Purchaser notifies the Seller ("Purchaser's Subsequent Title Notice") within 10 Business Days after receipt of the update of the Title Commitment or Survey shall not be deemed Permitted Encumbrances.  Failure to notify Seller shall cause Subsequent Title Encumbrances or defect(s) to be deemed Permitted Encumbrances.  The Seller may elect to remove or correct Subsequent Title Encumbrances by providing written notice thereof to the Purchaser within five Business Days from the date of the Purchaser's Subsequent Title Notice.  Failure to notify the Purchaser shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remove or correct such Subsequent Title Encumbrances.

In the event, however, that the Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to pursue the removal or correction of such Subsequent Title Encumbrance or does not arrange for removal or correction of the Subsequent Title Encumbrances prior to the Closing, as may be extended, then, upon receipt of notice from the Seller of its refusal or inability to remove or correct the Subsequent Title Encumbrances, then the Purchaser shall either (x) terminate this Agreement by notice given within 10 Business Days following receipt of notice from the Seller of its refusal or inability to remove or correct the Subsequent Title Encumbrances in which event the Parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for rights and obligations which, by their terms, survive the termination hereof, or (y) accept the condition of the title to the Owned Real Property as it then is, without diminution of the Purchase Price, whereupon the Subsequent Title Encumbrances shall be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances and the Parties shall proceed to Closing.
6.9.4
Seller shall pay all recording fees in connection with the release of any Encumbrances on the Owned Real Property, including the release of any Title and Survey Objections and the release of any Encumbrances set forth on Schedule N.  The Seller and the Purchaser shall each pay one-half (or 50%) of all transfer taxes and documentary stamp charges in respect of the sale and transfer of the Owned Real Property.  Purchaser shall pay the cost of recording the Deed of Sale, the cost of any survey (including the Survey) or zoning (including the Zoning Reports), all title insurance premiums, title exam fees and any endorsements to Purchaser's title policy. Any other customary purchase and sale closing costs shall be paid by Seller or Purchaser in accordance with the custom in the jurisdiction where the Owned Real Property is located.

the Indemnifiable Party shall have the right, if it so notifies the Indemnifying Party, to be consulted in such defense of the Third Party Claim and to participate at its own expense and with counsel of its choice.  In such event, the Indemnifying Party shall afford the Indemnifiable Party and its counsel the opportunity to comment (which comments shall be taken into account to the extent reasonable) with respect to the conduct of the defense of such Third Party Claim; and
(c)
if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifiable Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party defends, or, if (i) appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question and (ii) reasonable in the judgment of the Indemnifying Party, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross complaint against any Person.  The Indemnifying Party shall consult the Indemnifiable Party with respect to the prosecution of such counterclaim, demand or cross complaint.  In such case and to the extent the counterclaim or cross complaint is related to the circumstances or facts giving rise to the Loss, the amount obtained and actually paid to the Indemnifiable Party as a result thereof shall be deducted from the amount of the indemnification to be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnifiable Party.
10.3.3
In the event the Indemnifying Party does not timely assume the defense in respect of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, if it so notifies the Indemnifiable Party, to be consulted in such defense of the Third Party Claim and to participate at its own expense and with counsel of its choice.  In such event, the Indemnifiable Party shall afford the Indemnifying Party and its counsel the opportunity to comment (which comments shall be taken into account to the extent reasonable) with respect to the conduct of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
10.3.4
From and after the delivery of a Third Party Claim Notice hereunder, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifiable Party shall promptly provide the Indemnifying Party with copies of any document received or sent in connection with the Third Party Claim and shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its representatives all reasonable access to the books, records and properties of the Indemnifiable Party to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the Third Party Claim Notice relates and which does not waive any rights of the Indemnifiable Party to the work product doctrine or attorney-client or similar privileges.  The Indemnifying Party shall not, and shall require that its representatives shall not, use (except in connection with such Third Party Claim) or disclose to any Third Party other than the Indemnifying Party's representatives (except as may be required by applicable Law) any information obtained pursuant to this Section 10.3.4 which is designated confidential by the Indemnifiable Party.  All such access shall be granted during normal business hours on a Business Day and shall be granted under conditions which will not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of the Indemnifiable Party.
10.3.5
Any compromise or settlement made or caused to be made by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnifiable Party, as the case may be, in connection with any Third Party Claim shall be binding upon, and be for the benefit of, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifiable Party, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final Order had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, however, that no settlement or compromise shall be entered into by either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnifiable Party without the express written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  In the event the Indemnifiable Party refuses to consent to a settlement providing for a monetary payment that provides for a full release of the Indemnifiable Party and its Affiliates without any admission of fault or liability on the part of the Indemnifiable Party and its Affiliates or impose any restrictions on the Indemnifiable Party or its Affiliates, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnifiable Party for any amount in excess of the amount of such settlement proposal.
10.4
General Limitations on Indemnity Payments
10.4.1
From and after the Closing, indemnification under this Article 10 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any Party with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, except for claims of actual fraud, gross negligence, actions taken in bad faith or intentional misrepresentation, any claims resolved by an Independent Expert under the terms of this Agreement, and except for the specific performance of covenants or agreements or claims in respect of the provisions of Sections 7.7, 7.9 or 12.1.  Each Party waives, and shall cause its Affiliates to waive, any other right against the other Party and its Affiliates for indemnification pursuant to any breach of representations or warranties, other than as provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
10.4.2
No claim for indemnification made by a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.1.1(a) will be indemnifiable if and to the extent that the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to such claim is Disclosed to the Purchaser by the Seller or its Affiliates as of the Execution Date.  No claim for indemnification made by a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.1.2(a) will be indemnifiable if and to the extent that the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to such claim is Disclosed to the Seller by the Purchaser as of the Execution Date.
10.4.3
The Indemnifiable Party shall take commercially reasonable steps to avoid or mitigate any Losses in respect of which it might be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 10.
10.4.4
No indemnification shall be available to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect of any Loss resulting directly from:
(a)
the conduct by the Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing Date (including any restructuring or Tax election); or
(b)
the conduct by the Seller or its Affiliates before the Closing Date at the direction or request of the Purchaser or its Affiliates.
10.4.5
The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article 10 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnifiable Party under insurance policies or from Third Parties (other than amounts recovered from another Indemnifiable Party) with respect to such Loss.  If the Indemnifiable Party actually receives a full or partial recovery under insurance policies or from a Third Party (other than from another Indemnifiable Party) following payment of indemnification by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, the Indemnifiable Party shall forward such insurance or other such amounts recovered to the Indemnifying Party less any costs, fees and expenses, duly evidenced, incurred by the Indemnifiable Party in connection with the recovery of such amount (not to exceed the amount of indemnification paid by the Indemnifying Party).  For clarity, the provisions of this Section 10.4.5 shall not apply in respect of any claims in respect of breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.8 (Environmental Matters) for which the Purchaser's remedy is addressed in Section 10.6.5.
10.4.6
The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article 10 shall be reduced to take account of the actual amount by which the Taxes of the Indemnifiable Party or its Affiliates shall be reduced by such Loss, and increased by any Tax detriment actually realized by the Indemnifiable Party that is attributable to the receipt of indemnification payments under this Agreement in respect of such Losses.
10.4.7
In no event shall any Loss relating to a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article 8 or Article 9 for which indemnification is provided under this Article 10 include amounts arising out of or in connection with a change or development in Law after the Execution Date, including any change or development in the enforcement thereof or any change in the rates of taxation in force at the Execution Date.
10.4.8
In no event shall any Indemnifiable Party be entitled to double recovery under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.  In particular, in the event any circumstances giving rise to a Loss constitute a breach of more than one representation and warranty, obligation or covenant on the part of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifiable Party shall only be entitled to be indemnified once in respect of such Loss.
10.4.9
If any claim for indemnification is based upon a liability which is contingent, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to make any indemnification payment to the Indemnifiable Party unless and until such contingent liability becomes due and payable, other than payments made to the Indemnifiable Party to cover the costs and expenses of investigating or defending such contingent liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Indemnifiable Party; provided, however, that any claim for indemnification that is made with respect to a contingent liability prior to the termination of the survival period defined in Section 10.5 shall not be denied, and no Indemnifying Party's liability hereunder shall be extinguished solely because such liability remains contingent at the end of such survival period.
10.4.10
For the purposes of this Article 10, all amounts which are denominated in a currency other than the dollar shall be converted into dollars at the rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the date of the notice of claim by the Indemnifiable Party.
10.5
Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and notwithstanding any statute of limitations that might otherwise apply, the obligation of any Indemnifying Party to indemnify any Indemnifiable Party from and against any Loss arising from the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement or the breach of a covenant in Article 6 will terminate [***] months after the Closing Date (the "Termination Date"), except that (a) claims in respect of breaches thereof pending on, or asserted prior to, the Termination Date will continue to survive until such claims have been resolved, (b) claims of any Indemnifiable Party for any breach of a Fundamental Warranty, and any claims of the applicable Indemnifiable Parties under Sections 10.1.1(c), 10.1.1(d), 10.1.2(c), 10.1.2(d), or 10.1.2(f) shall each survive the Closing Date and shall expire upon the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, including extensions thereof, (c) the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Seller or the Purchaser which by their terms are to be performed after the execution of this Agreement, shall survive the Closing Date and shall not expire until the expiration date specified in this Agreement or, if no term is specified, the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations in respect thereof.
10.6
Other Limitations
10.6.1
To the extent that any Losses incurred by a Purchaser Indemnified Party arise out of (a) a breach of the Seller's representations in any of Section 8.3 (No Violations; Consents and Approvals), Section 8.4 (Title to Transferred Assets) or Section 8.6 (Transferred Tangible Personal Property and Inventory), or (b) a breach of the Seller's covenants to convey a Transferred Asset, and is capable of mitigation through the conveyance to the Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party of any non-conveyed asset giving rise to such Loss (or another non-conveyed asset that would cure such Loss), the Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate (at the Seller's expense) to effect any arrangement reasonably proposed by the Purchaser for the conveyance to the Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party of such asset.  To the extent that any Losses incurred by a Purchaser Indemnified Party arise out of a breach of the Seller's covenants in Section 7.2 (Consents pertaining to Transferred Contracts; Shared Contracts) which is capable of mitigation through making available to the Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party any Shared Contract giving rise to such Loss (or another asset that would cure such Loss), the Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate (at the Seller's expense) to effect any arrangement reasonably proposed by the Purchaser to mitigate such Loss.  In such event, if the Seller is unable to effect such arrangement, the Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain a reasonably equivalent replacement or substitute for such asset on a commercially reasonable basis, and the reasonable cost of such reasonably equivalent replacement or substitute will be an indemnifiable Loss hereunder.
10.6.2
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 10.6.3 below, no claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 10.1.1(a) will be indemnifiable:
(a)
unless the Losses with respect to each individual item or group of related items underlying such claim exceed $[***] (the "Minimum Claim Threshold"), provided that if the Losses with respect to such item or group of related items exceed the Minimum Claim Threshold, the full amount of the claim (and not just the excess above the Minimum Claim Threshold) will be indemnifiable, subject to the other limitations herein; and
(b)
until the indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 10.1.1(a) exceed $[***] in the aggregate (the "Deductible"), in which event the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnifiable Party only for the amount of the indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Deductible, except as otherwise set forth in Section 10.6.5,
provided that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the maximum aggregate amount for which an Indemnifying Party may be liable with respect to claims made pursuant to Section 10.1.1(a), will not exceed $[***] (the "Cap"), except that claims in respect of breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.8 (Environmental Matters) will be recoverable solely and exclusively as set forth in Section 10.6.5.
10.6.3
Notwithstanding Section 10.6.2 above, claims made with respect to the Fundamental Warranties and the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.8 (Environmental Matters) will not be subject to, and will not be considered in calculating whether claims have exceeded, the Minimum Claim Threshold, the Deductible or the Cap, provided, however, that the maximum amount for which the Seller may be liable with respect to claims made with respect to the Fundamental Warranties will not exceed the Purchase Price, and claims in respect of breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.8 (Environmental Matters) will be recoverable solely and exclusively as set forth in Section 10.6.5.
10.6.4
The Indemnifying Party shall be liable only for Losses that are direct damages incurred by the Indemnifiable Party, except as provided in the next sentence.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages, including loss of income, revenue, goodwill or profits or diminution in value, whether actual or prospective, in each case, except to the extent any such Losses are paid or payable (and subsequently paid) with respect to a Third Party Claim as to which an Indemnifiable Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.
10.6.5
From and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of Environmental Matters shall be recovery pursuant to the Environmental Insurance Policy, and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties hereby waive any and all rights and remedies against the Seller and its Affiliates under any Environmental Laws or relating to Environmental Matters, including for any breach of Section 8.8 (Environmental Matters).
10.6.6
Under no circumstances shall the aggregate liability of the Seller and its Affiliates under this Agreement (excluding the Seller's indemnification obligations under Section 10.1.1(c)) exceed the Purchase Price.

11.1
Conditions of Termination
This Agreement may be only terminated, by notice in writing, and the transactions contemplated hereby may only be abandoned prior to the Closing:
(a)
by the mutual written agreement of each of the Purchaser and the Seller;
(b)
by either Party if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the six-month anniversary of the Execution Date provided, however, that the right to terminate pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) is not available to any Party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in or causes the failure of the Closing to be consummated by such time (it being understood that no Party shall be deemed in breach pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) as a result of any breach that was due, in whole or in part, to any breach or other action or omission of the other Party);
(c)

(d)
by the Purchaser if the condition precedent set forth in Section 5.2(b) is not fulfilled, or by the Seller if the condition precedent set forth in Section 5.3(a) is not fulfilled, in each case as a result of a breach, failure or misrepresentation which has not been cured within 20 Business Days of receiving written notice thereof from the terminating Party indicating that unless such breach, failure or misrepresentation is cured in accordance with this Section 11.1(d), the terminating Party intends to terminate this Agreement.
11.2
Consequences of Termination

(d)
is independently developed by that Party or any of its Representatives without reference to the other Party's Confidential Information (as can be demonstrated by that Party's or its Representative's written records).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.1.2, and for clarity, the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 12.1.2 shall not be available following the Closing for Confidential Information relating to the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities or the Product Business or the WetVax Deliverable, as it exists as of the Closing Date, received or held by the Seller, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives, whether oral or written.
12.1.3
Subject to the provisions of this Section 12.1, or unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the other Party, each of the Seller and the Purchaser hereby agrees not to (and to cause its Representatives not to):
(a)
disclose any Confidential Information to any Person other than its Representatives who need to know the Confidential Information for the purpose of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements; and
(b)
use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with (i) the performance of their respective obligations hereunder or to exercise or enforce their respective rights under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement (other than the Bulk Manufacturing Agreement and the Sublicense Agreement), or any other Contract pursuant to which the Seller or any of its Affiliates obtains rights to the Licensed Know-How, (ii) operate the business of the respective Party without violating any of the provisions under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (iii) comply with applicable Law or the respective Party's or its Affiliates' respective regulatory, stock exchange, Tax or financing reporting requirements.

If a Party (the "Disclosing Party") (or its Representative) is, as per its legal counsel's written opinion, required by applicable Law, by applicable stock exchange regulation, by legal process, or for the purposes of enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, to disclose all or any portion of the Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party (or its Representative) may so disclose such Confidential Information, provided that the Disclosing Party shall, to the extent permitted by Law:
(a)
provide the other Party with prior written notice of such request or requirement so that the other Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy;
(b)
exercise commercially reasonable efforts to narrow the scope of any such request or requirement and consult with the other Party to that effect; and
(c)
if such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which the Disclosing Party (or its Representative) is compelled to disclose and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.
12.1.5

12.2.2
Notwithstanding Section 12.2.1, the Parties agree that this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (and the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto) and any financial statements relating to the Product, and any descriptions of the foregoing (collectively, the "Sensitive Information") may contain competitively sensitive information, the public disclosure of which would be competitively harmful.  The Parties agree that each Party shall notify the other Party prior to disclosing, filing or furnishing any Sensitive Information with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any counterpart under any foreign jurisdiction (a "Securities Regulator"), including as an exhibit to any registration statement or periodic report filed with a Securities Regulator, and shall give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon (a) any confidential treatment request to be submitted by the disclosing, filing or furnishing party with a Securities Regulator related to the Sensitive Information, (b) any redacted form of the Sensitive Information that the filing party intends to disclose, file or furnish in accordance with any other applicable Law and (c) any proposed public disclosure relating to the Sensitive Information.  The disclosing, filing or furnishing Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that all information reasonably requested by the non-disclosing, non-filing or non-furnishing party to be added to a confidential treatment request or redacted, as the case may be, is so added or redacted.  The redactions and requests for confidential treatment shall be made in a manner consistent with applicable Securities Regulator's regulations and guidance.  Each request shall seek the longest confidentiality term possible.  Any confidentiality request shall be submitted to and subject to the non-disclosing, non-filing or non-furnishing party's reasonable approval in advance of filing or furnishing.
12.2.3

No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempted assignment without such required consent shall be null and void ab initio; except that (a) the Seller may assign its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate (provided that such assignee undertakes at the time of the assignment that if such assignee ceases to be an Affiliate of Seller such right will, immediately prior to the assignee ceasing to be an Affiliate, be re-assigned to the Seller or another of its Affiliates) and no such assignment will relieve the Seller of liability, and (b) the Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate (provided that such assignee undertakes at the time of the assignment that if such assignee ceases to be an Affiliate of Purchaser such right will, immediately prior to the assignee ceasing to be an Affiliate, be re-assigned to the Purchaser or another of its Affiliates) and no such assignment will relieve the Purchaser of liability.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.9.3 applies solely to any assignment (in whole or in part) of this Agreement and nothing set forth in this Section 12.9.3 shall apply to any sale, assignment, transfer, delivery or other conveyance of the Transferred Assets by Purchaser after the Closing Date.
12.10
Specific Performance
The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, that monetary damages may be inadequate and that a party may have no adequate remedy at Law.  The Parties accordingly agree that, without the necessity of posting bond or other undertaking, the Parties hereto will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement, this being in addition to any remedy to which such Party is entitled under this Agreement.
12.11
Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (by electronic communication, facsimile or otherwise) to the other Parties.
12.12
Governing Law; Venue
12.12.1
This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of Laws that might otherwise be applicable.  With respect to matters related to the CDC Agreement, the federal law of contracts shall govern, to the extent applicable.

Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a)
submits for themselves, their Affiliates and their respective property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement to which they are a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b)
consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c)
agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Party at its address set forth in Section 12.3 or at such other address of which the administrative agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and
(d)
agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of any Party hereto to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Law or shall limit the right of any Party hereto to sue in any other jurisdiction.
12.13
Waiver of Jury Trial
To the extent permitted by Law, each Party hereto waives its right to trial by jury of any matter arising from this Agreement.
12.14
No Other Representation or Warranty

none of the Seller, its Affiliates nor any other Person acting on their behalf shall have or be subject to any Liability or indemnification obligation to the Purchaser, its Affiliates or any other Person acting on their behalf under this Agreement resulting from any material Disclosed to the Purchaser as of the Execution Date; provided, however, that this clause (b) will under no circumstances qualify any claim for indemnification by, or Liability of the Seller or its Affiliates to, the Purchaser or its Affiliates under this Agreement in respect of the Fundamental Warranties.
12.14.4
The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser makes no representations and warranties to the Seller in respect of transfer of the Transferred Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities other than as provided in Article 9.
