(b) From and after the Closing Date until the date that is [***] after the Closing Date, Purchaser will [***] enter into a Contract or other arrangement on comparable terms (a “Substitute Contract”) with the counterparty to each such Comingled Contract, or any other third party acceptable to Purchaser, pursuant to which Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser, as applicable, will receive the Rights provided under such Comingled Contract prior to the Closing Date on substantially equivalent terms to those available under such Comingled Contract. Upon entry into any Substitute Contract, Purchaser shall give written notice to Seller.

Product containing any such Subject Compound (regardless of whether such Subject Compound is identified at the time of such assignment or is identified by the assignee subsequently) (such obligations, the “Royalty Obligations”) pursuant to a Contract that makes Seller an intended third party beneficiary with the legally binding right to enforce such Contract against such Third Party (a “Royalty Assignment”) and (B) provides Seller with an unredacted copy of such Royalty Assignment, then such Third Party will be considered a “Royalty Assignee” for the purposes of this Agreement, and Purchaser shall have no further Royalty Obligations with respect to any Subject Compounds or Royalty-Bearing Products commercialized by such Royalty Assignee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees. Purchaser shall provide Seller prompt notice of any such assignment, which notice must include a copy of such Royalty Assignment. If Purchaser or one of its Affiliates assigns such Know-How or Patents to a Third Party and does not require such Third Party to assume such Royalty Obligations pursuant to such a Royalty Assignment, then such Third Party will be considered a Sublicensee for the purposes of this Agreement, and Purchaser will remain responsible for such Royalty Obligations.

2.3 Late Payments. Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder that are not paid on the date such payments are due under this Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: (a) [***] percentage points above the London Interbank Offered Rate or any successor thereto on the first day of each calendar quarter in which such payments are overdue; or

(a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; in each case, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent, compounded monthly.

2.4 Financial Records and Audits. Purchaser will maintain, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to maintain, complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit Seller to confirm the Royalties payable under this Agreement. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records applicable to the Royalties in question will be made available during regular business hours for a period of three years from the creation of such individual records for examination by an independent certified public accountant selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser for the sole purpose of verifying for Purchaser the accuracy of the Royalty Reports furnished by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or of any Royalty payments made, or required to be made, by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; provided that such independent accounting firm is subject to customary written obligations of confidentiality and non-use. Such audit will not be (a) performed more frequently than once per calendar year, (b) conducted for any calendar year more than three years after the end of such year, or (c) repeated for any calendar year or with respect to the same set of records (unless a material discrepancy with respect to such records is discovered during a prior audit). Purchaser will pay any amounts shown to be owed to Seller but unpaid within 30 days after the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 2.3 (Late Payments)) from the original due date. At Purchaser’s option, for any overpayments of Royalties discovered in such audit, (x) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser within 30 days after the accountant’s report, or (y) Purchaser shall have the right to credit such overpayments against future Royalty payments owed to Seller. Seller will bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an underpayment by Purchaser of more than five percent of the amount actually due for the time period being audited, in which case Purchaser will reimburse Seller for the reasonable audit fees for such examination.

2.5 Currency; Exchange Rate. All payments to be made by Purchaser to Seller under this Agreement will be made in U.S. dollars by electronic funds transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Seller.

2.6 No Refunds. Except as expressly provided herein, all payments under this Agreement will be irrevocable, non-refundable, and non-creditable.

2.7 No Development Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates will have any obligations with respect to the development or commercialization of any of the Purchased Assets, Subject Compounds or any Royalty-Bearing Products.

6.8 Scope and Choice of Law. It is the understanding of the Parties that the scope of the covenants contained in Sections 6.7 (Non-Solicitation of Employees) and 6.8 (Non-Competition) hereof both as to time and area covered, are reasonable and necessary to protect the rights of Purchaser and the rights of Seller. It is the Parties’ intention that these covenants be enforced to the greatest extent (but to no greater extent) in time, area, and degree of participation as is permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Parties further agree that, in the event that any provision of Sections 6.7 (Non-Solicitation of Employees) or 6.8 (Non-Competition) hereof will be determined by any state or federal court within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time or too great a range of

 

-32-


activities, such provision will be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. If any such covenants or any part of such covenants is to any extent declared illegal or unenforceable by a state or federal court within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, then the remainder of such covenants, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each such remaining covenant will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

6.9 Remedy for Breach. The Parties agree that either Party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the other in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 6.6 (Confidentiality), 6.7 (Non-Solicitation of Employees) or 6.8 (Non-Competition).

6.10 Compliance with WARN and Similar Legal Requirements. Seller shall provide an accurate and complete list upon the Closing of each employee of Seller who has suffered an “employment loss” as defined in the Worker Notification Laws within the 90 day period prior to the Closing Date and whose employment is required to be taken into account for purposes of the Worker Notification Laws (the “WARN List”), stating for each such employee the date of termination, the employee’s position and work location. Provided that the WARN List is accurate and complete, Purchaser agrees that (i) Purchaser will not, at any time on or after the Closing Date, take any action that would obligate Seller or any of its Affiliates to have provided notice to any employees prior to or on the Closing Date pursuant to any of the Worker Notification Laws, or that would otherwise result in Liabilities to Seller or any of its respective Affiliates under any such Worker Notification Laws and (ii) Purchaser will be solely responsible for providing any notices or payments due to any employees, and any notices, payments, fines or assessments due to any Governmental Authority pursuant to any Legal Requirement arising out of the employment, discharge or layoff of any employees by Purchaser after the Closing, including the Worker Notification Laws or any comparable Legal Requirement. Seller shall have all Liability with respect to any mass layoff, plant closing, or similar event with respect to any Worker Notification Laws triggered prior to or on the Closing Date, and any such Liability arising after the Closing Date to the extent arising from inaccuracies or omissions in the WARN List and Purchaser’s reliance thereon.

6.11 Covenants Related to Equity Consideration. Simultaneously with Integral Parent’s issuance of the Equity Consideration to Seller, Integral Parent and Seller will enter into customary investment agreements containing substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by Integral Parent’s financial investors that are similarly situated to Seller (with respect to percentage participation) in the round in which such Equity Consideration is issued to Seller, including substantially similar information rights, voting rights, participation and preemptive rights, tag-along rights, registration rights, anti-dilution rights, and the like, in each case other than any such terms and conditions unique to such financial investors. Without limiting the foregoing, if Seller requires financial information of Integral Parent or Purchaser to comply with Seller’s financial reporting obligations under applicable U.S. federal securities laws or regulations or otherwise required by Seller’s independent auditors in accordance with GAAP, Purchaser will provide such information to Seller in a timely manner, and in any event in audited form, if available, within [***] of the close of each calendar quarter and [***] after the close of each calendar year.

6.12 Connecticut Transfer Act.1

(a) After the Closing Date, Seller shall cause Woodard & Curran, Inc. (“Consultant”) to take the actions set forth on Schedule 6.12 (the “Review Matters”) with respect to the property located at 35 Northeast Industrial Road, Branford, Connecticut (the “Branford Property”) at Seller’s sole cost and expense. Upon the completion of the Review Matters, Consultant shall provide each of Purchaser and Seller with a report of all actions required to remediate the Branford Property as may be required under the Transfer Act (as defined below) or any other Environmental Law and a written estimate of the total expected costs for such remediation (such estimate, the “Seller Remediation Valuation”). No later than [***] following receipt of the Seller Remediation Valuation, Purchaser may provide written notice to Seller that they dispute the Seller Remediation Valuation (a “Purchaser Dispute Notice”) and designate a Licensed Environmental Professional (“LEP”) retained at Purchaser’s sole expense to determine the Remediation Valuation on behalf of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Valuation Expert”). Consultant shall make available to the Purchaser Valuation Expert the results of the Review Matters and make reasonably available the individuals involved in conducting the Review Matters and preparing the Initial Total Remediation Valuation for questions. No later than [***] following delivery of the Purchaser Dispute Notice, the Purchaser Valuation Expert shall deliver a written report setting forth its determination of the Remediation Valuation (the “Purchaser Remediation Valuation”), together with analysis in support thereof (the date of the submission of such report, the “Valuation Submission Date”). If the Seller Remediation Valuation and the Purchaser Remediation Valuation vary by less than [***] ([***] %) of the lower of such valuations, the final Remediation Valuation shall be the average of the Initial Remediation Valuation and the Purchaser Valuation.2 If, however, the two valuations submitted by such firms vary by more than [***] ([***] %) of the lower valuation, then, unless either Party agrees in writing that the other Party’s valuation shall control, within [***] following the Valuation Submission Date, the Purchaser and Seller shall jointly select a third LEP to determine the final Remediation Valuation; provided, that if there is no agreement on an LEP first within such period, then the Consultant and the Purchaser Valuation Expert shall be instructed to jointly select, within [***] following their notification of such request, a third LEP to determine the final Remediation Valuation. Such third LEP is hereinafter referred to as the “Third Valuation Firm.” The Third Valuation Firm shall, within [***] following its selection, evaluate the reports of the two other firms and deliver a written report selecting either the Seller Remediation Valuation or the Purchaser Remediation Valuation as the final Remediation Valuation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Third Valuation Firm shall not choose any other figure, whether “between” the two figures submitted by the two firms or outside the two figures. The Third Valuation Firm may, but need not, specify in such writing the reasons for its decision, and the Third Valuation Firm’s selection shall be final and binding on the parties in all respects as the final and operative Remediation Valuation. Seller shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of Consultant, Purchaser shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Purchaser Valuation Expert, and the fees and expenses of the Third Valuation Firm will be paid by party whose valuation is not selected by the Third Valuation Firm. Upon final determination of the

By way of illustration only, if the Seller Remediation Valuation is $[***] and the Purchaser Remediation Valuation is $[***], then the final and operative Remediation Valuation shall be $[***]; and if the Seller Remediation Valuation is $[***] and the Purchaser Remediation Valuation is $[***], then the final and operative Remediation Valuation would be determined through the procedures specified in the balance of this Section 6.12(a).

 

-34-


Remediation Valuation, Purchaser shall be entitled to set-off against all payment obligations against any unpaid payment that is due under Section 2.1(b) (Post-Closing Consideration) or, solely in the event the Remediation Valuation exceeds the sum of the remaining payment obligations under Section 2.1(b) (Post-Closing Consideration), against Section 2.1(c) (Equity Consideration), until Purchaser has set-off an amount equal to the Remediation Valuation (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 6.12(a) (Connecticut Transfer Act)) and, to the extent the Remediation Valuation exceeds the remaining amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (Post-Closing Consideration) or Section 2.1(c) (Equity Consideration), Seller shall promptly pay such excess amount to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds within [***] of final determination pursuant to this Section 6.12(a) (Connecticut Transfer Act). Upon such final satisfaction of the Remediation Valuation, any Liabilities related to, or arising under Environmental Laws from (i) the occupancy, operation, use or control of the Branford Property prior to the Closing Date or (ii) the operation of the Early Discovery Business at the Branford Property prior to the Closing Date shall in each case ((i) and (ii)) be Assumed Liabilities and not Excluded Liabilities hereunder.

(b) Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the sale of the Branford Property will trigger the requirements of the Connecticut Transfer Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 22a 134 et seq., the “Transfer Act”). Seller and Purchaser further acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser shall be identified on the Form III filing (as defined below) as the Certifying Party (as defined in Conn. Gen. Stat. § 22a-134(6), hereinafter, the “Certifying Party”). The Seller shall prepare a Form III (as defined in Conn. Gen. Stat. § 22a-134(12)), an Environmental Condition Assessment Form (as defined in Conn. Gen. Stat. § 22a-134(17)) and a Property Transfer Fee Payment Form (collectively, the “Property Transfer Forms”) for the Branford Property. Seller shall sign said Property Transfer Forms as the Transferor and Purchaser shall sign said Property Transfer Forms as the Transferee and Certifying Party (with such modifications and revisions as Purchaser may request, at its sole discretion). The Purchaser shall following the Closing engage a Licensed Environmental Professional (“LEP”) to serve as the LEP of record and supervise the completion of all Remedial Actions (as defined below) required to be performed following the Closing. Within ten (10) days after the Closing, the Seller shall file the Property Transfer Forms with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (“CT DEEP”) and pay all filing and other fees required by the Transfer Act. Following the Closing, the Purchaser as Certifying Party shall investigate and remediate the Branford Property as required by the Transfer Act (“Remedial Actions”) under the direction of its LEP and in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, the Transfer Act, directives of CT DEEP, and the decisions and directives of the LEP, as applicable. The Certifying Party shall complete all Remedial Actions and file with CT DEEP a Verification (as defined in Conn. Gen. Stat. § 22a-134(19)) for the Branford Property as required by the Transfer Act. The Purchaser shall perform the Remedial Actions at its sole cost and expense, subject only to its right to recover the Remediation Valuation pursuant to Section 6.12(a).

ARTICLE VII

EMPLOYEES

7.1 Transferred Employees.

(a) No less than five Business Days before the Closing Date, Purchaser made offers of employment to each Prospective Employee who was employed by Seller as of the date Purchaser issued its offer of employment. All such employees of Seller who (i) accept Purchaser’s offer of employment within the time period specified in Purchaser’s offer and (ii) execute and deliver non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality and other similar agreements if so requested by Purchaser are hereinafter referred to as the “Transferred Employees.” Subject to the foregoing, the employment of the Transferred Employees with Purchaser shall be considered effective as of the Business Day immediately following the Closing and their employment by Seller shall terminate as of the Closing Date (the “Employee Transfer Date”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to Section 7.1(c) and (e) herein, (A) nothing in this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of Purchaser to continue the employment of any Transferred Employee for any definite period or under any specific terms following the Employee Transfer Date and (B) nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Purchaser from altering, amending or terminating any of its employee benefit plans, or the participation of any of its employees in such plans, at any time.

(b) The Parties intend that existing contracts of employment of any of the Prospective Employees will not be assumed by Purchaser as a result of the Transaction, but rather that the Prospective Employees will be provided new offers of employment. Each such offer of employment by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.1(a) (Transferred Employees) will (i) be for a position with substantially similar duties and responsibilities, (ii) include an annual base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, that is no less favorable than the annual base salary or base wage rate provided to the Prospective Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (iii) include a target annual bonus or other cash incentive opportunity that is no less favorable than the target annual bonus or other cash incentive opportunity provided to Prospective Employees immediately prior to the Closing, (iv) other employee benefits that are at least as favorable as those made available to similarly-situated employees of Purchaser, and (v) not require the Prospective Employee to relocate his or her place of employment by 50 or more miles (except with the written consent of the Prospective Employee). Seller will and hereby does waive any restrictions contained in existing contracts of employment between Seller and the Transferred Employees to the extent necessary to allow the Transferred Employees to accept such offers of employment by Purchaser.

(c) For a period of [***] following the Closing Date, Purchaser will provide to each Transferred Employee (i) an annual base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, that is no less favorable than the annual base salary or base wage rate provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) a target annual bonus or other cash incentive opportunity that is no less favorable than the target annual bonus or other cash incentive opportunity provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) other employee benefits that are at least as favorable as those made available to similarly-situated employees of Purchaser.

 

-36-


(d) Seller will take all action reasonably necessary to cause each Prospective Employee who becomes a Transferred Employee to cease active participation under all Seller Plans as of 11:59 p.m. E.T. on the Closing Date, or such other time as is required pursuant to the relevant Seller Plan or as otherwise agreed by Seller and Purchaser, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. Seller shall take all action necessary to cause all accounts of Transferred Employees in the FORMA Therapeutics 401(k) Plan to become fully vested effective as of the Employment Transfer Date. Seller will be solely responsible for all obligations and liabilities, including obligations and liabilities for severance or termination pay or benefits under any Seller Plan or any other plan, program, policy or applicable Legal Requirements with respect to or related to any employee of Seller (each a “Current Employee”) that accrues on or prior to the Closing. Purchaser will be solely responsible for all obligations and liabilities, including obligations and liabilities under applicable Legal Requirements, and for retention, severance or termination pay or benefits under any of Purchaser’s plans, programs, policies, in each case that accrue with respect to the employment of such Transferred Employee with Purchaser after the Closing Date.

(e) Seller shall take all action necessary to allow any Transferred Employees whose stock option vesting will accelerate on the Closing as part of their retention agreement with Seller to exercise such vested stock options issued under the FORMA Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan for the [***] period immediately following the Closing Date.

(f) Seller will retain responsibility for and continue to pay all expenses and benefits under the Seller Plans and all medical, dental, health, hospital, life insurance and disability expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred (whether or not reported) under the Seller Plans by eligible Transferred Employees and their spouses and eligible dependents. Seller shall be responsible for providing, or causing to be provided, continuation coverage to employees of Seller (and their covered dependents) who do not become Transferred Employees and to Transferred Employees (and their covered dependents) under each of its applicable health plans with respect to all qualifying events under COBRA and comparable state Laws which occur before the Employee Transfer Date. On and following the calendar day immediately following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall credit each Transferred Employee with his or her service with Seller or any Affiliate for purposes of Purchaser’s leave policies; provided that such recognition of service will not operate to duplicate any benefits with respect to any Transferred Employee. On and following the calendar day immediately following the Closing Date, with respect to any group health plans under which Transferred Employees are eligible to receive benefits from Purchaser, Purchaser will make commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable insurer to (i) waive any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods (to the extent such limitations or waiting periods did not apply to a Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents under the comparable plans of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller in which such Transferred Employee participated on the Closing Date) with respect to a Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents and (ii) give each Transferred Employee credit, for the plan year in which the Transferred Employee becomes eligible to receive benefits under such plans, towards applicable deductibles and annual out-of-pocket limits for expenses actually incurred with respect to equivalent benefits during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs to the extent Seller provides such information regarding such expenses incurred to Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to make any out-of-pocket payments with respect to such co-pays or deductibles; provided further, however, that Purchaser shall only be required to take the actions in clauses (i) and (ii) above to the extent permitted under Purchaser’s employee benefit plans, or that may be permitted by amendment of such plans.

 

-37-


(g) On the Closing Date (or on such later date as the applicable Seller plan, policy, program or agreement may provide), Seller shall pay to the Transferred Employees: (i) all salaries earned prior to the Closing Date, (ii) an amount equal to the value of all earned but unused paid time off (including all vacation time, sick days and other time off) under Seller’s Paid Time Off (PTO) policy, (iii) any bonus, commissions, retention, severance or other payment or other form of compensation or benefit that is created, accelerated, accrues or becomes payable by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) any 2019 bonus earned under Seller’s bonus program (collectively, the “Seller Transferred Employee Payments”). In no event shall Purchaser have any responsibility or Liability for payment of any vacation or bonus earned or accrued by a Transferred Employee during his or her employment with Seller.

(h) The Parties will cooperate with each other to give effect to the provisions set forth in this Section 7.1 (Transferred Employees).

7.2 No Benefit to Employees Intended. Nothing contained in this ARTICLE 7 (Employees), express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person not a party hereto any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment. No Transferred Employee or other current or former employee of Seller including any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any other person not a party to this Agreement, shall be entitled to assert any claim hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, constitute the establishment of, or an amendment to, any Seller Plan or Employee Benefit Plan.

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

8.1 Purchase Price Allocation. Agreed Tax Treatment; Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) Purchaser will be treated as having acquired an undivided interest in the Purchased Assets in exchange for (A) the Fixed Consideration other than the Equity Consideration, (B) the Royalties and (C) the assumption of a corresponding undivided interest in the Assumed Liabilities, (ii) Integral Parent will be treated as having acquired the remaining undivided interest in the Purchased Assets in exchange for (A) its promise to deliver the Equity Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(c) and (B) a corresponding undivided interest in the Assumed Liabilities, (iii) Integral Parent will be treated as having immediately contributed its undivided interest in the Purchased Assets (subject to its corresponding undivided interest in the Assumed Liabilities) to Purchaser in a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code, (iv) to the extent that Purchaser designates a designated subsidiary to acquire the Purchased Assets, Purchaser will be treated as having contributed the Purchased Assets received by it pursuant to clauses (i) and (iii), subject to the Assumed Liabilities assumed by it pursuant to clauses (i) and (iii), to such designated subsidiary, and (v) to treat Seller

 

-38-


as a partner of Integral Parent as of the Closing Date; provided, however, no gain, income, loss or deduction shall be allocated by Integral Parent to Seller until the date of Integral Parent’s issuance of the Equity Consideration to Seller (the “Agreed Tax Treatment”). Within [***] after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller an allocation of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities (and any other items that are treated as consideration paid by Purchaser pursuant to clause (i) above for applicable Tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). The Purchase Price Allocation will be made in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. Seller shall have [***] after receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation to notify Purchaser in writing of any objections. If Seller does not object in writing during such [***] period, then the Purchase Price Allocation shall be final and binding on all parties. If Seller objects in writing during such [***] period, then the parties shall cooperate in good faith to reach a mutually agreeable allocation of the Purchase Price (and any other items that are treated as consideration for Tax purposes) in accordance with the principles set forth in this Section 8.1, which allocation shall be binding on all parties. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement within [***] of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s objection, then any disputed items shall be referred to a mutually-agreed third party (the cost for which shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller) for resolution within [***] of having the item referred to it, and the determination of such third party shall be final and binding upon all parties. In the event that adjustments to the Purchase Price Allocation are required on account of events occurring subsequent to the finalization of the initial Purchase Price Allocation, such adjustments shall be made in a manner consistent with the foregoing. Each of Purchaser and Seller agrees (i) to file all Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and all federal, state, local and foreign income Tax Returns, in accordance with the Agreed Tax Treatment and the Purchase Price Allocation, as finally determined and adjusted in accordance with the foregoing and (ii) to provide the other party promptly with any other information necessary to complete Form 8594 or such other Tax Returns, provided that in no event will Seller be required to provide access to Purchaser to any Tax information, including Tax Returns, to the extent such Tax information relates to the Affiliated Group of which Seller is a member.

8.2 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree that each Party will pay, when due, and be responsible for, one-half of any Transfer Taxes and related fees imposed on or payable in connection with the Transactions. Seller will prepare and timely file all necessary documentation and Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to such Transfer Taxes and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to Purchaser. If any Transfer Taxes are required to be collected, remitted or paid by Purchaser, Seller will pay the amount of such Transfer Taxes to Purchaser no later than five days prior to the date such Transfer Taxes are required to be paid to the applicable Tax Authority. Seller and Purchaser will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate (i) to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes, and (ii) to maintain accurate records of Transfer Taxes owed and paid.

8.3 Cooperation; Allocation of Taxes.

(a) Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Early Discovery Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (including reasonable access to Books and Records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the

 

-39-


making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Tax Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. The parties agree to provide timely notice to the other in writing of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to the Early Discovery Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities for taxable periods for which the other may have a Liability under this Agreement and furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any Taxing Authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any such taxable period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event Seller shall be required to provide access to Purchaser to any Tax information, including Tax Returns, to the extent such Tax information relates to the Affiliated Group of which Seller is a member.

(b) In the case of any Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any ad valorem and similar Taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets (other than Transfer Taxes) attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. If any Party (the “Paying Party”) pays or has paid a Tax for which the other Party (the “Non-Paying Party”) is responsible pursuant to this Agreement, the Paying Party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Non-Paying Party. Notwithstanding the forgoing, items attributable to any action taken by Purchaser after the Closing that is not in the ordinary course of business will be paid by Purchaser and will not be attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

8.4 Tax Refunds. Any refunds, abatements or credits of Taxes (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto) constituting an Excluded Asset will be for the account of Seller. Purchaser will promptly inform Seller of any refunds, abatements or credits, of which Purchaser has knowledge, to which Seller may be entitled hereunder and, if Seller so requests and at Seller’s expense, use reasonable efforts to obtain any such refunds, abatements or credits.

For purposes of determining whether any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement has occurred and the amount of Purchaser Damages resulting therefrom, arising in connection therewith or relating thereto, the terms “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” and other similar qualifications based upon materiality shall be disregarded and given no effect.

 

-40-


9.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to ARTICLE 8 (Tax Matters) and the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 9 (Indemnification), from and after the Closing, Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its respective officers, directors, agents, employees and Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Damages (collectively, “Seller Damages”), arising out of, relating to or resulting from (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in a representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; (b) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; (c) any Assumed Liability; or (d) any failure of Purchaser or its Affiliates to comply with any Legal Requirement. For purposes of determining whether any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement has occurred and the amount of Seller Damages resulting therefrom, arising in connection therewith or relating thereto, the terms “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” and other similar qualifications based upon materiality shall be disregarded and given no effect.

9.3 Time for Claims. No claim may be made or suit instituted seeking indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) (Indemnification by Seller) or 9.2(a) (Indemnification by Purchaser) unless a written notice describing such claim in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to the Indemnitee is provided to the Indemnitor prior to [***] after the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) claims may be made with respect to the representations and warranties relating to Taxes set forth in Section 4.4 (Taxes) until [***] expiration of [***] relating to such Taxes, (b) claims may be made with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.17 (Sufficiency of Assets) until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, and (c) claims may be made with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller in Sections 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 4.8 (Authority), 4.16(a) (Title of Assets; Libraries), 4.18 (Transactions with Affiliates) and 4.20 (Brokers) (collectively, the “Sellers Fundamental Representations”) and Purchaser’s representations and warranties in Sections 5.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 5.3 (Authority), and 5.8 (Brokers) (collectively, the “Purchasers Fundamental Representations”) until the [***] of the Closing Date.

9.4 Procedures for Indemnification. Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to indemnification under Sections 9.1 (Indemnification by Seller) or 9.2 (Indemnification by Purchaser) or any other provision of this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) of written notice of the assertion or the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to any matter referred to in Sections 9.1 (Indemnification by Seller) or 9.2 (Indemnification by Purchaser) or in any other applicable provision of this Agreement, the Indemnitee will give written notice describing such claim or Proceeding in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to the Indemnitee to the party obligated to indemnify Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”), and thereafter will keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed with respect thereto; provided, however, that failure of the Indemnitee to keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed as provided herein will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby. If any Proceeding will be commenced against any Indemnitee by a third party, the Indemnitor will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, at the Indemnitor’s sole expense; provided, however, that the Indemnitor will be responsible for all resulting Damages; provided, further, however, that the Indemnitor will not have the right to assume the defense of any Proceeding if (i) the Indemnitee will have one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor, and, in the reasonable opinion of

 

-41-


the Indemnitee, counsel for the Indemnitor could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnitee because such interests could be in conflict with those of the Indemnitor; (ii) such litigation is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on any other matter beyond the scope or limits of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnitor; (iii) the Indemnitor will not have assumed the defense of the litigation in a timely fashion (but in any event within [***] of notice of such Proceeding); or (iv) such Proceeding involves a Governmental Authority or any allegation of any criminal violation. If the Indemnitor will assume the defense of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee will be entitled to participate in any Proceeding at its expense, and the Indemnitor will not settle such Proceeding unless the settlement will include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all Liability with respect to the matters that are subject to such Proceeding, or otherwise will have been approved by the Indemnitee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

9.5 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller will not be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Person under Section 9.1(a) (Indemnification by Seller): (i) for any individual item where Purchaser Damages relating thereto is less than $[***] (“Seller’s Claim Threshold”), (ii) unless the aggregate of all Purchaser Damages exceeds $[***] (“Seller’s Indemnification Tipping Basket”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Persons will be entitled to recover all Purchaser Damages or (iii) to the extent that the aggregate of all Purchaser Damages exceeds $[***] (“Seller’s Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that Seller’s Claim Threshold, Seller’s Indemnification Cap and Seller’s Indemnification Tipping Basket will not apply to nor count towards any Seller indemnification obligation (A) arising out of, relating to or resulting from Fraud by Seller or arising out of, relating to or resulting under Sections 9.1(b), (c) or (d) (Indemnification by Seller), (B) arising out of, relating to or resulting from a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 4.17 (Sufficiency of Assets) or (C) arising out of, relating to or resulting from a breach of or inaccuracy in any of Seller’s Fundamental Representations.
