Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts (at Purchaser’s cost) to obtain the consent and agreement of the third party that is a counterparty to any Shared Contract to enter into a new Contract with Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Designated Affiliate (or a Conveyed Subsidiary or its Subsidiary) or to assign or transfer, to the extent assignable or transferable under the terms of such Shared Contract, to Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Designated Affiliate (or a Conveyed Subsidiary or its Subsidiary) the portion of such Shared Contract (and the rights, benefits, obligations and burdens thereunder) that relates to the Business, pursuant to which Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Designated Affiliate (or a Conveyed Subsidiary or its Subsidiary) receives the rights and benefits, and bears the obligations and burdens, of such portion of any such Shared Contract that relates to and is allocated to the Business, as reasonably agreed by Seller Parent and Purchaser, in each case effective as of the Closing Date (each, a “Replacement Shared Contract”), unless such Shared Contract relates to a Delayed Business, in which case effective as of the date of transfer of such Delayed Business to Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Designated Affiliate; provided that the failure to obtain such consent or agreement or such Replacement Shared Contract shall in no event be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates, except in the case of a breach by Seller Parent of its express covenants, agreements, obligations, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement related thereto, and (ii) to the extent such a Replacement Shared Contract is not obtained, until the earlier of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date and the expiration or termination date of the applicable Shared Contract (assuming, for these purposes, that the then-current term in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing is not renewed or extended), the Parties shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) use reasonable best efforts to, at Purchaser’s cost, obtain or structure an arrangement for Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Designated Affiliates to receive the rights and benefits, and bear the obligations and burdens, of such portion of any such Shared Contract that relates to and is allocated to the Business, as reasonably agreed by Seller Parent and Purchaser; provided that in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), the Sellers, Purchaser Parent and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall not be required to take any action that would, in the good-faith reasonable judgment of the Sellers or Purchaser, constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of any Person(s), be ineffective under, or contravene, applicable Law or any such Shared Contract or result in the termination, cancellation or acceleration of any material right or obligation of, or result in the loss of any material benefit of, or otherwise adversely affect in any material respect the contractual rights of, the Sellers, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) each of Seller Parent and Purchaser shall be responsible for any or all Liabilities

46



arising from its (or its Affiliates’) direct or indirect breach of any Shared Contract and (B) Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any or all Liabilities arising out of or relating to any Replacement Shared Contract.

53



(b)    Following the delivery of the Proposed Closing Statement until the date that is ninety (90) days thereafter (the “Review Period”), either or both Parents may, by delivering a written notice to the other Parties, dispute the amounts reflected on the line items of the Proposed Closing Statement (any such disputed amount, a “Disputed Item”). A Parent’s written notice of Disputed Items shall identify each Disputed Item and specify the nature of such Parent’s disagreement, the amount of each item in dispute and the basis therefor, and the amount that such Parent believes is the correct amount of the Business Working Capital, the Business Net Cash, Purchaser Working Capital or Purchaser Net Cash, as applicable, based on the disagreements set forth in its notice of Disputed Items, including the adjustments applied by such Parent to the Proposed Closing Statement in calculating any such amounts. A Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Proposed Closing Statement not so objected to by it in a notice of Disputed Items within the Review Period in accordance with this Section 2.9(b), and the failure by a Parent to provide a notice of Disputed Items to the other Parties within the Review Period will constitute such Parent’s agreement with all of the items in the Proposed Closing Statement, and the Proposed Closing Statement shall be conclusive, final and binding upon the Parties as the Final Closing Statement with respect to the items thereon so agreed by both Parents.
(c)    If a notice of Disputed Items shall be timely delivered in accordance with Section 2.9(b), the Parties shall, during the forty-five (45) days following the date of such delivery (the “Resolution Period”), negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items. During the Review Period and the Resolution Period, each Party and its Representatives (including its accountants) shall be permitted to review the working papers of the other Parties and their accountants relating to the notice of Disputed Items and the Proposed Closing Statement (subject to execution of customary working paper access letters). To the extent any Disputed Items are so resolved in writing by mutual agreement of all Parties within the Resolution Period, then the Proposed Closing Statement, as revised to incorporate such changes as have been agreed between all Parties, shall be conclusive, final and binding upon the Parties as the Final Closing Statement with respect to the items thereon so agreed.
(d)    If during such Resolution Period the Parties are unable to reach agreement on all Disputed Items, the Parties shall refer all unresolved Disputed Items to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination with respect to each unresolved Disputed Item within forty-five (45) days after its engagement by the Parties to resolve such Disputed Items, which determination shall be made in accordance with the rules set forth in this Section 2.9. Except as the Parties may otherwise agree, all communications between any of the Parties or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the Independent Accountant, on the other hand, will be in writing with copies simultaneously delivered to the non-communicating Parties. The Parties shall cooperate with the Independent Accountant in its proceedings, including by providing such accounting books and records and working papers of each Party and its accountants, as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request (subject to execution of customary working paper access letters). The Independent Accountant shall make its determination (i) based solely on the documentation submitted by, and presentations made by, any of the Parties (any such documentation or presentation must be provided to the other Parties at the same time as its submission or presentation to the Independent Accountant) and (ii) in a manner consistent with (A) the Accounting Principles and the Sample Closing Statement and the definitions

54



of Business Working Capital and Business Net Cash, in the case of the calculation of Business Working Capital and Business Net Cash, and (B) the Purchaser Accounting Principles and the Sample Purchaser Closing Statement, and the definitions of Purchaser Working Capital and Purchaser Net Cash, in the case of the calculation of Purchaser Working Capital and Purchaser Net Cash (and in each case each of the defined terms used in each of those terms or in which those terms are used and the related provisions of this Agreement). The Independent Accountant shall deliver to the Parties, within such forty-five (45)-day period, a written report setting forth its adjustments, if any, to the Proposed Closing Statement and the calculations supporting such adjustments, and any such adjustments must be within the range of values established for such Disputed Item by Purchaser in the Proposed Closing Statement and by the applicable Parent(s) in the notice of Disputed Items delivered pursuant to Section 2.9(b). Absent manifest errors, such report shall be conclusive, final and binding on the Parties and enforceable in a court of law, effective as of the date the Independent Accountant’s written determination is received by the Parties, and the Proposed Closing Statement, as revised to incorporate the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the Disputed Items, shall be conclusive, final and binding upon the Parties as the Final Closing Statement. Purchaser shall pay the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant, and the Independent Accountant shall bill Purchaser accordingly. The Parties acknowledge that they have discussed their past contacts, if any, with the Independent Accountant, and that no Party shall have the right to object to the Independent Accountant’s service in such role by reason of non-disclosure of past contacts, conflicts of interest or any other reason. If, before the Independent Accountant renders its determination with respect to the Disputed Items in accordance with this Section 2.9(d), any Disputed Items are resolved in writing by mutual agreement of all Parties, then in each case such items as so agreed will be conclusive, final and binding on the Parties immediately upon such notice as the Final Closing Statement with respect to the items thereon so agreed.
(e)    As used herein, “Final Business Working Capital”, “Final Business Net Cash”, “Final Purchaser Working Capital” and “Final Purchaser Net Cash” mean (i) if no notice of Disputed Items with respect to the Business Working Capital, Business Net Cash, Purchaser Working Capital or Purchaser Net Cash, respectively, is delivered by either Parent within the period provided in Section 2.9(b), the Business Working Capital, Business Net Cash, Purchaser Working Capital or Purchaser Net Cash, respectively, as shown in the Proposed Closing Statement as prepared by Purchaser, or (ii) if such a notice of Disputed Items with respect to the Business Working Capital, Business Net Cash, Purchaser Working Capital or Purchaser Net Cash, respectively, is timely delivered by either Parent, either (A) the Business Working Capital, Business Net Cash, Purchaser Working Capital or Purchaser Net Cash, respectively, as mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties or (B) the Business Working Capital, Business Net Cash, Purchaser Working Capital or Purchaser Net Cash, respectively, as shown in the Independent Accountant’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.9(d).
(f)    Until the date on which the Proposed Closing Statement shall become conclusive, final and binding on the Parties pursuant to this Section 2.9 (the “Closing Statement Finalization Date”), each Party agrees that following the Closing it shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, preserve the accounting books and records of the Business and of Purchaser and its Affiliates on which the Proposed Closing Statement is to be based and shall not take any actions with respect to such books and records that would obstruct or prevent the procedures set

55



forth in this Section 2.9 (including books and records related to the Business Working Capital, the Business Net Cash, the Purchaser Working Capital and the Purchaser Net Cash or the Proposed Closing Statement or the preparation of the Proposed Closing Statement).
(g)    If (i) the amount equal to (A) the Final Business Working Capital plus (B) the Final Business Net Cash exceeds (ii) the amount equal to (A) the Estimated Business Working Capital plus (B) the Estimated Business Net Cash (the amount of such excess, the “Final Business Excess Adjustment”), Purchaser shall, and Purchaser Parent shall cause Purchaser to, pay within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Statement Finalization Date to Seller Parent (and/or Seller Parent’s designee(s), in such allocations as may be directed by Seller Parent) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Account, an amount in cash equal to the amount of the Final Business Excess Adjustment.
(h)    If (i) the amount equal to (A) the Estimated Business Working Capital plus (B) the Estimated Business Net Cash exceeds (ii) the amount equal to (A) the Final Business Working Capital plus (B) the Final Business Net Cash (the amount of such excess, the “Final Business Deficit Adjustment”), Seller Parent shall pay within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Statement Finalization Date to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser Account, an amount in cash equal to the amount of the Final Business Deficit Adjustment.
(i)    If (i) the amount equal to (A) the Final Purchaser Working Capital plus (B) the Final Purchaser Net Cash exceeds (ii) the amount equal to (A) the Estimated Purchaser Working Capital plus (B) the Estimated Purchaser Net Cash (the amount of such excess, the “Final Purchaser Parent Excess Adjustment”), Purchaser shall, and Purchaser Parent shall cause Purchaser to, pay within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Statement Finalization Date to Purchaser Parent (and/or Purchaser Parent’s designee(s), in such allocations as may be directed by Purchaser Parent) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser Parent Account, an amount in cash equal to the amount of the Final Purchaser Parent Excess Adjustment.
(j)    If (i) the amount equal to (A) the Estimated Purchaser Working Capital plus (B) the Estimated Purchaser Net Cash exceeds (ii) the amount equal to (A) the Final Purchaser Working Capital plus (B) the Final Purchaser Net Cash (the amount of such excess, the “Final Purchaser Parent Deficit Adjustment”), Purchaser Parent shall pay within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Statement Finalization Date to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser Account, an amount in cash equal to the amount of the Final Purchaser Parent Deficit Adjustment.

(F)    requesting Seller Parent’s independent auditors to cooperate with Counterparties as may be reasonably requested by Seller Parent;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing herein shall (i) require Seller Parent and its Affiliates to provide any information to any Counterparties prior to receipt of executed confidentiality and clean team agreements with respect to such information and on terms no less favorable (to the extent relevant) to Seller Parent than the Confidentiality Agreement and Clean Team Agreement, (ii) require the Sellers or any of their Affiliates to agree to pay any amounts for which they are not promptly reimbursed by Purchaser, or deliver or execute any opinions, authorization letters, certificates or other instruments, (iii) require the Sellers or any of their Affiliates to take any action that would reasonably be expected to conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, any of their respective organizational documents, any applicable Laws or Governmental Authorization or any material Contract or other material obligation to a third party, (iv) cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached by Seller Parent (unless such breach is waived by Purchaser Parent and Purchaser), (v) cause any Representative of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates to incur any personal liability, (vi) provide access to or disclose information that any of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates reasonably determines would jeopardize any attorney-client or other privilege or protection of any of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates or (vii) prevent, impair or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements; provided, further, that in the case of the foregoing clause (iii) and (vi) Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, inform Purchaser as to the general nature of what is being restricted or withheld and the reason therefor, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit disclosure of the relevant information in a manner that does not suffer from such impediments.
(e)    Delayed Antitrust Approvals.
(i)    Subject to Section 6.3(c)(ii), in the event an Approval of a Governmental Antitrust Authority (other than a Governmental Antitrust Authority of the United States or Approvals under Antitrust Laws of the jurisdictions set forth on Annex C) having jurisdiction that is necessary to lawfully consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is not obtained on or prior to the date on which the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 (other than the conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date) shall have been satisfied or waived (each, a “Delayed Antitrust Approval” and, each such jurisdiction, an “Outstanding Antitrust Jurisdiction”), the Parties agree (subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VIII) that, provided that the Laws of such Outstanding Antitrust Jurisdiction permit consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in all territories other than the Outstanding Antitrust Jurisdiction, they will effect the Closing (which the Parties shall determine in

111



accordance with Section 6.3(c)(ii)) (including the issuance, allotment and delivery of the full Purchase Consideration), subject to the terms of this Agreement, including by selling, conveying, assigning, transferring or delivering to Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Designated Affiliates all of Seller Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof to the extent permissible under any applicable Law and subject to Section 2.2, it being agreed that the Closing shall refer to the consummation of such sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of such Purchased Assets at such time and shall only exclude, subject to Section 2.2, the Purchased Assets in that Outstanding Antitrust Jurisdiction to which such Delayed Antitrust Approval relates (a “Delayed Business”). The obligations of the Parties set forth in this Section 6.3 shall continue with respect to each such Delayed Antitrust Approval until the earliest to occur of (A) the date such Delayed Antitrust Approval is obtained, (B) the date on which such Delayed Business is sold to a third party designated by Purchaser (a “Delayed Business Purchaser”) (it being agreed that Purchaser shall consider in good faith Seller Parent’s reasonable suggestions with respect to potential purchasers), as set forth in a written notice (a “Delayed Business Notice”) delivered by Purchaser to Seller Parent in accordance with Section 10.1 and Section 6.3(e)(iii) and (C) the date that is thirty-six (36) months after the Closing Date (the “Hold-Back Termination Date”), and until the earliest to occur of the foregoing (the date of such earliest occurrence, the “Delayed Business Cut-Off Date”), Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Delayed Business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects.
(ii)    Upon obtaining a Delayed Antitrust Approval pursuant to Section 6.3(e)(i)(A), the Parties shall effect the transfer of such Delayed Business pursuant to a Local Implementing Agreement for the jurisdiction relating thereto, and, to the extent permissible under applicable Antitrust Laws, such transfer shall be retroactive to, and be deemed to have occurred on, the Closing Date; provided that, in accordance with Section 2.2(a), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties shall treat Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Designated Affiliate, as the case may be, as the owner of the Delayed Business as of the Closing Date.
(iii)    In the event that Purchaser delivers a Delayed Business Notice to Seller Parent with respect to a Delayed Business, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the sale of such Delayed Business to the Delayed Business Purchaser by Purchaser and on its behalf and at its direction as promptly as reasonably practicable, including the efforts described in Section 6.3(d)(ii); provided that (A) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees nothing in this Section 6.3(e) shall require Seller Parent to transfer to the Delayed Business Purchaser such Delayed Business if Purchaser Parent or Purchaser is in material breach of its obligations under this Section 6.3, (B) such Delayed Business Purchaser has obtained or will obtain prior to such sale all necessary Approvals under applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to such Delayed Business

112



and the sale of such Delayed Business would reasonably be expected to be consummated within ninety (90) days following the delivery of such Delayed Business Notice, (C) the sale of such Delayed Business to such Delayed Business Purchaser is not prohibited by, illegal under, or in contravention of, any applicable Law or Governmental Order and (D) neither Purchaser Parent nor Seller Parent nor any of their respective Affiliates (other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries) shall be the selling party under any agreements required to implement the transfer of the Delayed Business unless and except to the extent required by the relevant Governmental Antitrust Authority or applicable Law and, even if so required, shall have no direct or indirect obligation thereunder for which they are not fully indemnified by Purchaser. The Parties agree (I) that neither Purchaser Parent nor Seller Parent nor any of their respective Affiliates (other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries) shall have any Liability, including with respect to indemnification obligations, in respect of any agreements, arrangements or transactions contemplated by this Section 6.3(e)(iii) and (II) that Purchaser shall indemnify Purchaser Parent and Seller Parent and their respective Affiliates (other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries) for any Liabilities arising from, or attributable or related to, any such agreements, arrangements or transactions, including with respect to any agreements to which Seller Parent or Purchaser Parent or any of their respective Affiliates are party (except in the case of (I) and (II) to the extent Seller Parent or Purchaser Parent, as applicable, is expressly liable for such Liabilities or indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement). Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Seller Parent and Purchaser Parent, as applicable, for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other Representatives’ fees) incurred in connection with the foregoing, including any such costs (including payments) or expenses incurred or made following the consummation of such transaction. Subject to applicable Law, the proceeds of any sale of a Delayed Business shall be paid directly to Purchaser (or a Subsidiary of Purchaser) by the Delayed Business Purchaser; provided that Seller Parent or Purchaser Parent, as applicable, may require payment of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (or an estimate thereof) and any Taxes payable as a result of such transaction from such proceeds as a direct wire transfer of immediately available funds at such applicable closing.
(iv)    In the event that a Delayed Antitrust Approval is not obtained with respect to a Delayed Business and Purchaser does not deliver a Delayed Business Notice in accordance with Section 6.3(e)(iii) with respect to such Delayed Business, in each case, prior to the Hold-Back Termination Date, the Parties shall withdraw any pending Filing or notification for Approval for the transfer of such Delayed Business under applicable Antitrust Laws and Seller Parent may, as mutually agreed by the Parties, dispose of such Delayed Business, including by way of a sale to a third party. Purchaser Parent and Purchaser agree (1) that Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall not have any obligation or Liability, including with respect to indemnification obligations, in respect of any agreements, arrangements or transactions contemplated by this Section 6.3(e)(iv) for which it is not fully

113



indemnified by Purchaser and (2) that Purchaser shall indemnify Seller Parent and its Affiliates for any Liabilities arising from, or attributable or related to, any such agreements, arrangements or transactions, including with respect to any agreements to which Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates are party (except in the case of (1) and (2) to the extent Seller Parent is expressly liable for such Liabilities or indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement). Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Seller Parent for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other Representatives’ fees) incurred in connection with the foregoing, including any such costs (including payments) or expenses incurred or made following the consummation of such transaction. Subject to applicable Law, the proceeds of any sale of a Delayed Business in accordance with this Section 6.3(e)(iv) shall be paid directly to Purchaser (or a Subsidiary of Purchaser) by the purchaser of such Delayed Business; provided that Seller Parent may require payment of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (or an estimate thereof) and any Taxes payable as a result of such transaction from such proceeds as a direct wire transfer of immediately available funds at such applicable closing.
(f)    None of Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates shall, or shall agree to, acquire, whether by merging with or into, consolidating with, purchasing all or a portion of the assets of or all or a portion of the equity in, or otherwise, any business or corporation, partnership, or other business organization or division thereof or other Person, or dissolve, merge or consolidate with any other Person, or engage in any business combination transaction or sale, whether by merging with or into, consolidating with, or selling all or a portion of its or its Affiliates’ assets or equity to, any other Person, or enter into, or agree to enter into, any license, joint venture or other similar agreement or transaction, which would reasonably be expected to, in each case or in the aggregate, (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or increase in any material respect the risk of not obtaining, the expiration, termination or waiver of any applicable waiting period or any consent, approval, permit, ruling, authorization, clearance or other Approval pursuant to the Antitrust Laws necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, (ii) increase in any material respect the risk of any Governmental Antitrust Authority entering an injunction or other Governmental Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) increase in any material respect the risk of not being able to remove any such injunction or other Governmental Order on appeal or otherwise, (iv) impair, impede, hinder, or prevent or materially delay or adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements or (v) cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII to fail to be satisfied or impair, impede, hinder, or prevent or materially delay or adversely affect the ability of Purchaser Parent, Purchaser and their Affiliates to perform their obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (any foregoing action or transaction, a “Purchaser Adverse Action”).
(g)    Neither Seller Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall, or shall agree to, acquire, whether by merging with or into, consolidating with, purchasing all or a portion of the assets of or all or a portion of the equity in, or otherwise, any business or corporation, partnership, or other business organization or division thereof or other Person, or dissolve, merge or consolidate with

114



any other Person, or engage in any business combination transaction or sale, whether by merging with or into, consolidating with, or selling all or a portion of its or its Affiliates’ assets or equity to, any other Person, or enter into, or agree to enter into, any license, joint venture or other similar agreement or transaction, which would reasonably be expected to, in each case or in the aggregate, (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or increase in any material respect the risk of not obtaining, the expiration, termination or waiver of any applicable waiting period or any consent, approval, permit, ruling, authorization, clearance or other Approval pursuant to the Antitrust Laws necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, (ii) increase in any material respect the risk of any Governmental Antitrust Authority entering an injunction or other Governmental Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) increase in any material respect the risk of not being able to remove any such injunction or other Governmental Order on appeal or otherwise, (iv) impair, impede, hinder, or prevent or materially delay or adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements or (v) cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII to fail to be satisfied or impair, impede, hinder, or prevent or materially delay or adversely affect the ability of Seller Parent and its Affiliates to perform their obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
(h)    Each Party may, as each deems advisable or necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 6.3 or otherwise as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material” or some similar notation agreed by the Parties. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the internal and outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient and any economic consultants retained in connection with the Parties’ obligations under this Section 6.3 unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Seller Parent, Purchaser Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3, and without limiting the restrictions on access and disclosure set forth in Section 6.1(a), materials provided to the other Party or its counsel pursuant to this Agreement may be redacted (i) as necessary to comply with contractual requirements, (ii) as necessary to address attorney-client or other privilege or protection or confidentiality concerns and (iii) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Purchased Assets, the Business, or the Purchaser Business (or the Retained Businesses or Purchaser Parent Retained Businesses).
(i)    Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all filing and other fees owed to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Filings to be made, and Approvals to be obtained, pursuant to this Section 6.3.
Section 6.4    Reasonable Best Efforts; Further Assurances.

Purchaser Shareholders Agreement), to take or cause to be taken all action, to do or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws (other than with respect to Antitrust Laws, which are the subject of Section 6.3, and with respect to the Purchaser Parent Shareholder Approval, which is the subject of Section 6.24) to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including: (a) the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the obligations of any of the Parties, (b) the obtaining of all necessary actions, consents, approvals, waivers and other Approvals of all Governmental Authorities under applicable Law (other than with respect to Antitrust Laws, which are the subject of Section 6.3, and with respect to the Purchaser Parent Shareholder Approval, which is the subject of Section 6.24), (c) without limiting the obligations of the Parties set forth in Section 6.3, the defending of any Action, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the performance of the obligations hereunder, (d) the effecting of all registrations, filings and transfers of Governmental Authorizations (including Environmental Permits) that constitute Purchased Assets, and the effecting of all registrations, filings and transfers of any licenses, permits, certificates or other authorizations or approvals which constitute Excluded Assets to be transferred to Seller Parent or any Retained Subsidiary and (e) the executing, acknowledging and delivering of such documents and instruments and the taking of such other actions as may reasonably be requested by the other Party in furtherance of the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a) through (d); provided that except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement or any Ancillary Implementing Agreement, including Section 6.3, none of Seller Parent, Purchaser Parent or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to expend any money, commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) in connection with the foregoing (other than filing and other fees owed to any Governmental Authority in connection with any Filings to be made with or Approvals to be obtained from Governmental Authorities, for which Purchaser shall be responsible and shall reimburse Seller Parent and its Affiliates). Purchaser agrees to provide such reasonable security and assurances as to financial capability, resources and creditworthiness as may be reasonably requested by any Governmental Authority whose Approval is sought in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b)    Without limiting and in furtherance of the provisions of Section 6.4(a), and in order to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements on a timely basis, promptly following the date hereof Seller Parent and Purchaser Parent shall organize a transition team (the “Transition Team”), co-chaired by a representative of Seller Parent and by a representative of Purchaser Parent and including equal representation of Seller Parent and Purchaser Parent, which Transition Team shall, following the Closing, have responsibility for (A) coordinating and directing the efforts of the Parties with respect to (1) the administration and coordination of the Ancillary Agreements following the Closing, (2) subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.2, Section 6.3 and Section 6.4(a), the process for seeking applicable third party consents, Approvals, and Governmental Authorizations and making required filings or notices in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (3) coordinating and directing the efforts of the Parties with respect to Shared Contracts in accordance with Section 2.2 as well as the efforts of the Parties with respect to the assets and liabilities contemplated by Section 2.2, (B) coordinating communications, public relations and investor relations strategy and approach of the Parties regarding this Agreement and

(c)    Purchaser Parent shall develop, in consultation with Seller Parent, a detailed written transition plan (the “Transition Plan”) which shall set forth integration planning goals, activities and processes with respect to the period from the date hereof through the Closing Date and the transition activities to be implemented after the Closing Date. The Transition Plan shall also include reasonably detailed plans in respect of the matters set forth in Section 6.4(c) of the Purchaser Parent Disclosure Letter. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Transition Plan shall be prepared for convenience and informational purposes only, shall not be binding on any Party or its respective Affiliates, and the taking of, or failure to take, any action set forth in the Transition Plan shall in no event be a condition to the obligations of either Party to consummate the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d)    Purchaser Parent shall consult in good faith with Seller Parent prior to the Closing regarding (i) the identity of the initial direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer and to the Chief Financial Officer of Purchaser and (ii) the initial Business Plan (as defined in the Purchaser Shareholders Agreement), including any updates to any draft Business Plan previously provided, to be adopted by Purchaser as of the Closing. If, as part of such consultation, Seller Parent wishes to escalate any matter regarding the foregoing matters, it shall be entitled to convene, on reasonable notice, a meeting between the Chief Executive Officers of Seller Parent and Purchaser Parent to discuss such matters. In the event any disagreements regarding the foregoing matters cannot be resolved by such Chief Executive Officers prior to the Closing, the Chief Executive Officer of Purchaser Parent shall make the final determination with respect thereto.
Section 6.5    Tax Matters.
(a)    Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.
(i)    Seller Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared all (A) Tax Returns that include Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than any Conveyed Subsidiary or any Subsidiary thereof), on the one hand, and any Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof, on the other hand (“Seller Combined Tax Returns”) and (B) Tax Returns of the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period other than any Straddle Period (“Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns”). All Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns shall, where applicable, be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of the applicable Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof), other than as required as a result of the Seller Internal Restructurings and except to the extent that there is not at least a “more likely than not” basis for a position under applicable Law. In the case of any Pre-Closing

117



Separate Tax Return that is required to be filed after the Closing (taking into account any applicable extensions), Seller Parent shall deliver to Purchaser for its review and comment, at least thirty (30) days, in the case of Income Tax Returns, and fifteen (15) days, in the case of non-Income Tax Returns, prior to the due date for the filing of such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions), a draft copy of such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return, together with any additional information that Purchaser may reasonably request. Purchaser shall have the right to review such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return and any such additional information prior to the filing of such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return, and Seller Parent shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments submitted by Purchaser at least fifteen (15) days, in the case of Income Tax Returns, and five (5) days, in the case of non-Income Tax Returns, prior to the due date of such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions). Purchaser shall timely file (taking into account any applicable extensions), or cause to be timely filed, such Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns as prepared by Seller Parent (and as may be revised by Seller Parent to reflect any comments received from Purchaser pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), provided that such Tax Return was delivered to Purchaser at least five (5) days, in the case of Income Tax Returns, and three (3) days, in the case of non-Income Tax Returns, prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions). Seller Parent shall timely file, or cause to be timely filed (taking into account any applicable extensions), any Seller Combined Tax Returns and any Pre-Closing Separate Tax Returns that are due prior to the Closing (taking into account any applicable extensions) and pay any Taxes due on any such Tax Return and, at least three (3) days before any Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return that is required to be filed after the Closing is due (taking into account any applicable extensions), shall pay Purchaser (or a Subsidiary of Purchaser designated by Purchaser) the amount of Taxes shown as due thereon to the extent any such Taxes are Seller Indemnified Taxes for which Seller Parent is liable pursuant to this Agreement.
(ii)    Other than Tax Returns for which Seller Parent is responsible pursuant to Section 6.5(a)(i) and any Tax Returns described in Section 6.5(g)(iii), Purchaser shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries (taking into account any applicable extensions). Any such Tax Return required to be filed by Purchaser for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (any such Tax period, a “Straddle Period,” and any such Tax Return, a “Straddle Period Tax Return,”) and any Tax Return (or relevant portion thereof) of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries after the Closing) that includes or reflects (or is required to include or reflect) Seller Indemnified Taxes for which Seller Parent would reasonably be expected to be liable pursuant to this Agreement (any such Tax Return, or relevant portion thereof, or any Straddle Period Tax Return, a “Seller Indemnifiable Tax Return”) shall, where applicable, be prepared (1) in a manner consistent with the past practices of the applicable Conveyed Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof), other than as required as a

118



result of the Seller Internal Restructurings and except to the extent that there is not at least a “more likely than not” basis for a position under applicable Law or such position would reasonably be expected to result in Purchaser or its Subsidiaries being liable for any material Taxes that are not Seller Indemnified Taxes for which Seller Parent is liable pursuant to this Agreement and (2) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. With respect to any Seller Indemnifiable Tax Return, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller Parent for its review, comment and approval, at least thirty (30) days, in the case of Income Tax Returns, and fifteen (15) days, in the case of non-Income Tax Returns, prior to the due date for the filing of such Seller Indemnifiable Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions), a statement setting forth the amount of Tax for which Seller Parent is responsible pursuant to Section 6.5(d)(i) and a copy of such Seller Indemnifiable Tax Return, together with any additional information that Seller Parent may reasonably request. Seller Parent shall have the right to review such Seller Indemnifiable Tax Return, statement and any additional information prior to the filing of such Seller Indemnifiable Tax Return, and Purchaser shall reflect on such Seller Indemnifiable Tax Return, as filed, any reasonable comments submitted by Seller Parent at least fifteen (15) days, in the case of Income Tax Returns, and five (5) days, in the case of non-Income Tax Returns, prior to the due date of such Seller Indemnifiable Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions) to the extent any such comments would not be reasonably expected to result in Purchaser or its Subsidiaries being liable for any material Taxes that are not Seller Indemnified Taxes for which Seller Parent is liable pursuant to this Agreement. Seller Parent shall, at least three (3) days before any Tax Return that Purchaser is obligated to file under Section 6.5(a)(ii) is due, pay Purchaser (or a Subsidiary of Purchaser designated by Purchaser) the amount of Taxes shown as due thereon to the extent any such Taxes are Seller Indemnified Taxes.
(iii)    Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries after the Closing) shall amend or revoke any Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return or Straddle Period Tax Return, or agree to any waiver or extension of the statute of limitations, relating to Taxes with respect to any Conveyed Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, without the prior written consent of Seller Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Upon Seller Parent’s reasonable request, at the sole cost and expense of Seller Parent, Purchaser shall file, or cause to be filed, any amended Pre-Closing Separate Tax Return in the form and substance reasonably requested by Seller Parent and in a manner consistent with the past practices of the applicable Conveyed Subsidiary or its Subsidiary (other than as required as a result of the Seller Internal Restructurings), except to the extent that there is not at least a “more likely than not” basis for a position under applicable Law, provided that Purchaser shall not be required to file any such amended Tax Return to the extent it would reasonably be expected to result in Purchaser or its Subsidiaries being liable for any material Taxes that are not Seller Indemnified Taxes

119



for which Seller Parent is liable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise result in commercial consequences that materially and adversely affect Purchaser.
(iv)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 6.5(a) shall not apply to any Tax Returns in respect of Transfer Taxes described in Section 6.5(j) or any VAT described in Section 6.5(k).
(b)    Carryforwards and Carrybacks. Purchaser shall cause the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, not to carry back into any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and to carry forward into any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date any Tax Asset arising after the Closing Date (a “Subsequent Loss”) that could, whether in the absence of an election or otherwise, be carried back to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Purchaser shall take, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) to take, all steps reasonably necessary to avoid such carry back (and achieve such carryforward), including by making all necessary elections. If a Subsequent Loss is not permitted by applicable Law to be carried forward into any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date and is required to be carried back into any Pre-Closing Tax Period, then after providing notice to Seller Parent of such required carryback, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes resulting from any carryback of such Subsequent Loss into any such Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided that Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller Parent and its Affiliates harmless from and against any Tax Liability resulting from the carryback of a Subsequent Loss and any other costs and expenses associated with or incurred in connection with obtaining, collecting or paying over a refund resulting from such carryback to the extent such carryback of a Subsequent Loss is reflected on a Seller Combined Tax Return. To the extent any such Subsequent Loss or related refund is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned by Seller Parent or its Affiliates to a Governmental Authority, Purchaser agrees to promptly repay any amounts previously paid over by Seller Parent to Purchaser (or its Subsidiaries) in respect of such Subsequent Loss or related refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Governmental Authority, to Seller Parent.
(c)    Refunds and Other Tax Benefits.
(i)    Any Loss or Tax that Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries prior to the Closing), on the one hand, or Purchaser Parent or any of its Affiliates on the other hand, is responsible for under this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 6.5, Section 6.6 or Article VII, and including any amounts that are economically borne by Seller Parent or Purchaser Parent, as the case may be, through an adjustment under Section 2.8 or Section 2.9), shall be determined net of any Tax Benefit arising from any Tax Item in respect of any such Loss or Tax realized in the taxable year of such Loss or Tax or the subsequent two taxable years. If any such Tax Benefit was not included in the initial computation of such Loss or Tax, the Purchaser shall pay to Seller Parent or Purchaser Parent, as the case may be, the amount of the applicable Tax Benefit. The amount of any payment for a Tax Benefit that is due under the prior sentence shall be paid within fifteen (15) days of the filing of the Tax Return with respect to

120



which the Tax Benefit is actually realized (or, if the Tax Benefit is in the form of an increased cash Tax refund, within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such cash Tax refund from the applicable Governmental Authority). To the extent permitted to be claimed or deducted on a “more likely than not” basis on an applicable relevant Tax Return, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries after the Closing) to claim any Tax Item in respect of any Loss or Tax described in the first sentence of this Section 6.5(c) resulting in a Tax Benefit described in this Section 6.5(c) on such Tax Return.

Purchaser shall be entitled to any refunds or credits of or against any Taxes of Purchaser or the Subsidiaries of Purchaser (other than the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries)) other than refunds or credits to which Purchaser Parent is entitled pursuant to the foregoing sentence.

Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to reasonably cooperate, with respect to any such request by Purchaser Parent or in any such claim for refund, and shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser Parent the amount (including interest) of any related refund or credit received or realized by Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof (including any Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof), net of any costs, expenses and Taxes occurred in obtaining, collecting or paying over such refund or credit within fifteen (15) days of receipt (or realization) thereof.

(B)    Following the Direct Transfers, Seller Parent shall effect, through Local Implementing Agreements, the indirect transfer of the China Entities to the Purchaser (the “Indirect Transfers”). Within thirty (30) days following the Indirect Transfers, Seller Parent or the applicable Affiliate shall voluntarily file (whether in one or more filings), on behalf of the applicable Seller(s) and Purchaser (or the applicable Purchaser Designated Affiliate), the documentation required by Circular – SAT Notice [2015] 7 (“Notice 7”) as a result of the Indirect Transfers, and any related transfers, with the applicable PRC Taxing Authority. Seller Parent or the applicable Affiliate shall, within five (5) Business Days after the submission of such Notice 7 filing(s), deliver to Purchaser complete copies of any applicable Notice 7 filing(s) and, if provided, an acknowledgement of receipt of such Notice 7 filing(s) issued by the applicable PRC Taxing Authority. Seller Parent or the applicable Affiliate shall, in its sole discretion, control all communications relating to the Indirect Transfers and such Notice 7 filing(s) with the relevant PRC Taxing Authority and shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the progress of such communications (including by providing to Purchaser copies of all material reporting and filings relating to the Indirect Transfers and the Notice 7 filing(s)). If Seller Parent or the applicable Affiliate has fully complied with its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.5(g)(iii), then Purchaser (and its Affiliates) shall not communicate with or make any reporting to a PRC Taxing Authority regarding the Indirect Transfers or the Notice 7 filing(s), except in agreement with Seller Parent or the applicable Affiliate. Purchaser shall notify the applicable Seller(s) promptly, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after receipt, of any queries or requests by any PRC Taxing Authority related to the transfer of the China Entities to the Purchaser.

132



(C)    If the Indirect Transfers are determined to be taxable transactions in China, Seller Parent or the applicable Affiliate shall timely pay any additional China Taxes attributable to the Indirect Transfers to the appropriate PRC Taxing Authority and file any applicable Tax Returns with the appropriate PRC Taxing Authority. Any such Taxes shall be the sole responsibility of Seller Parent or the applicable Affiliate and subject to Section 6.5(d)(i).
(D)    Absent a change in Law after the date hereof and subject to compliance with Clauses (A) through (C) of this Section 6.5(g)(iii), Purchaser Parent acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it shall not, and it shall cause its Affiliates not to, withhold any amount with respect to Chinese Taxes in respect of the payment of the Purchase Consideration or any amounts payable to Seller Parent pursuant to Section 2.8 or Section 2.9 herein (nor reflect any such amount in the Final Closing Statement or take any such amount into account in the calculation of the Final Business Working Capital or the Final Business Net Cash).
(h)    Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements and arrangements between (i) any Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof, on the one hand, and Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than any Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof), on the other hand, and (ii) Purchaser or any Subsidiary of Purchaser, on the one hand, and Purchaser Parent or any Subsidiary of Purchaser Parent (other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries), on the other hand, shall be terminated effective at or before the Closing and shall have no further effect for any Tax period (whether past, present or future) and, after the Closing Date, neither Seller Parent nor any of its Affiliates, nor Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates, shall have any rights or obligations thereunder, and no additional payments shall be made thereunder with respect to any Tax period, whether in respect of a redetermination of Liabilities for Taxes or otherwise.
(i)    Cooperation. Each of Purchaser and Seller Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) provide the other with such cooperation, information and records, and make such of its officers, directors, employees and agents available, as may reasonably be requested by the other Party in connection with the preparation or filing of any Tax Return, determining a liability for Taxes or payment under this Section 6.5, conducting any Tax Proceeding and the matters described in Section 6.5(f) of the Seller Disclosure Letter and Section 6.5(f) of the Purchaser Parent Disclosure Letter. Each of Purchaser and Seller Parent shall, within the earlier to occur of one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date and forty-five (45) days prior to the due date for a Tax Return requiring such information (or as promptly as practicable to the extent any Tax Return is due within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date), provide the other with Tax information materials, including schedules and work papers (including any information reasonably necessary to compile applicable transfer pricing documentation), prepared in a manner consistent with the Conveyed Subsidiaries’ (and their Subsidiaries’) past practices, as requested by one another to enable one another to prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns that each Party is obligated to prepare, or cause to be prepared, pursuant to Section 6.5(a)(i) or Section 6.5(a)(ii), as applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Seller Parent shall not be required to provide Purchaser Parent or Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, with a copy of, or

133



otherwise disclose the contents of, any Seller Combined Tax Return (provided that Seller Parent shall extract information therein and provide such information to Purchaser hereunder to the extent such information relates solely to a Conveyed Subsidiary or its Subsidiaries), and (ii) Purchaser Parent shall not be required to provide Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates with a copy of, or otherwise disclose the contents of, any Purchaser Parent Combined Tax Return. Each Party shall retain (and cause to be retained) all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records and other documents relating to Tax matters, of the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the statute of limitations for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate.
(j)    Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller Parent shall be responsible for half of, and Purchaser Parent shall be responsible for half of, any Transfer Taxes imposed on the transfer of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser (or a Purchaser Designated Affiliate) and the costs of preparing and filing Tax Returns in respect of any such Transfer Taxes. The Party responsible under applicable Law for filing Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns. Seller Parent and Purchaser Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes and to minimize any such Transfer Taxes. For clarity, this Section 6.5(j) does not apply to any Transfer Taxes imposed on any transaction or step forming part of the Seller Internal Restructurings or the Purchaser Internal Restructurings. Seller Parent shall be solely responsible for any Transfer Taxes imposed on any transaction or step forming part of the Seller Internal Restructurings and the costs of preparing and filing any Tax Returns in respect of any such Transfer Taxes and Purchaser Parent shall be solely responsible for any Transfer Taxes imposed on any transaction or step forming part of the Purchaser Internal Restructurings and the costs of preparing and filing any Tax Returns in respect of any such Transfer Taxes.
(k)    VAT.
(i)    Subject to Section 6.5(k)(ii), all payments made pursuant to this Agreement are exclusive of VAT. Any VAT imposed on the transfers of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser (or any of the Purchaser Designated Affiliates) shall be charged to Purchaser (or the relevant Purchaser Designated Affiliate) in addition to the Purchase Consideration. Purchaser (or the relevant Purchaser Designated Affiliate) shall pay any such VAT upon receipt of the relevant VAT invoices, if such invoice is required under applicable Law. Purchaser and Seller Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy all compliance obligations necessary in order to treat any such transfer as a transfer of a going concern for VAT purposes where permissible under applicable Law. Where Seller Parent has treated, or caused its Affiliates to treat, a transaction under this Agreement as a transfer of a going concern or otherwise exempt from or outside the scope of VAT and it receives notice that a Taxing Authority disagrees with that treatment, it shall promptly notify Purchaser and reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to contest such disagreement upon Purchaser’s request, provided that Purchaser shall indemnify Seller Parent in respect of any costs,

134



expenses, fees or Taxes incurred in connection with such contest. Seller Parent shall issue (or shall cause to be issued) any invoice necessary and reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and its Affiliates to provide information and documentation necessary for Purchaser and its Affiliates to comply with its VAT obligations under applicable Law. For clarity, this Section 6.5(k)(i) does not apply to any VAT imposed on any transaction or step forming part of the Seller Internal Restructurings or the Purchaser Internal Restructurings. Seller Parent shall be solely responsible for any VAT imposed on any transaction or step forming part of the Seller Internal Restructurings and the costs of preparing and filing any Tax Returns in respect of any such VAT and Purchaser Parent shall be solely responsible for any VAT imposed on any transaction or step forming part of the Purchaser Internal Restructurings and the costs of preparing and filing any Tax Returns in respect of any such VAT.
(ii)    The Purchaser Parent Termination Fee is inclusive of any amounts in respect of VAT thereon but subject to the calculations set out in this Section 6.5(k)(ii). The Parties intend, and shall use reasonable efforts to secure, that the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee, being compensatory in nature, is not and will not be treated for VAT purposes as consideration for a taxable supply. If a Taxing Authority determines that the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee is, in whole or in part, consideration for a Tax supply for VAT purposes, then:
(A)    if Purchaser Parent (or any other member of the VAT group to which it belongs) is liable to account for any VAT on the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee under a VAT reverse charge mechanism, the amount of the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee shall be reduced so that the sum of (x) the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee (as so reduced), and (y) any VAT reverse charge thereon which Purchaser Parent (or any other member of the VAT group to which it belongs) is not entitled to recover (by way of credit or repayment) as input tax, is equal to the unreduced amount of the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee. In that scenario, Purchaser Parent shall be responsible for complying with all obligations relating to that reverse charge imposed by the Laws of the jurisdiction in which the VAT is accountable under the reverse charge mechanism; and
(B)    if Seller Parent is liable to account for any VAT on the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee, then to the extent that such VAT is recoverable (by way of credit or repayment) as input tax by Purchaser Parent (or any other member of the VAT group to which it belongs), the amount of the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee shall be increased such that, less any such recoverable VAT in respect thereof, it equals the amount of the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee before taking into account any adjustment under this Section 6.5(k)(ii)(B).
(l)    Coordination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 6.5(d) shall survive until thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations in respect of the relevant Taxes, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.16(k) and Section 5.17(k) shall survive until

135



thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations in respect of the relevant Taxes, and (iii) any and all indemnification in respect of Tax matters and the procedures relating thereto shall be governed exclusively by this Section 6.5 and, to the extent specified therein, Section 7.4, Section 7.6, Section 7.7, Section 7.8, Section 7.9, Section 7.10 and Section 7.11, and shall not be governed by the provisions of Article VII (other than, to the extent specified in Section 7.4, Section 7.6, Section 7.7, Section 7.8, Section 7.9, Section 7.10 and Section 7.11).
Section 6.6    Employees and Employee Benefits.
(a)    Division of Liabilities Generally.
(i)    Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities. Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and the Subsidiaries thereof) shall, effective as of the Closing, assume or retain all Liabilities in respect of (A) the Conveyed Subsidiary Plans (including Liabilities thereunder that relate to an employee or former employee who is not a Business Employee or Former Business Employee), (A) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.6, the service of the Business Employees and Former Business Employees to the Business or Purchaser Business prior to, on or following the Closing Date, including all Liabilities for compensation (including commissions, bonuses, incentive pay, overtime, premium pay, shift differentials and severance or termination pay) that become payable on or after the Closing, (A) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.6, compensation and benefits required to be provided by, or transferring to Purchaser pursuant to, applicable Law with respect to a Business Employee or Former Business Employee, (A) the other Liabilities specified in this Section 6.6 as being assumed, retained or reimbursable by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, (A) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.6, all costs and expenses arising from the obligations of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries under this Section 6.6, and the implementation by Purchaser of the compensation and benefit plans as contemplated hereunder, and (A) any Liabilities arising out of the failure of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries to comply with its obligations under this Section 6.6, including the failure to extend offers pursuant to Section 6.6(b)(i) or engage in any consultations required or contemplated by Section 6.6(b)(i) or Section 6.6(j) (the Liabilities assumed by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.6, collectively, the “Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities”). For the avoidance of doubt, except as contemplated by clause (A) of this Section 6.6(a)(i), the term Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities shall not include Liabilities with respect to current or former employees of Seller Parent or its Affiliates who are not Business Employees or Former Business Employees. For purposes of this Section 6.6, Liabilities in respect of all compensation and benefits items shall include the employer side Taxes or other payments related thereto.
(ii)    Seller Parent Retained Employee Liabilities. Seller Parent, or its applicable Affiliate (other than a Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof), shall, effective as of the Closing, retain or assume (A) all assets and Liabilities under or

136



relating to each Seller Group Plan and each Foreign Seller Group Plan, and each other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement at any time sponsored or maintained by Seller or any of its ERISA Affiliates (including non-U.S. Affiliates) that is not a Conveyed Subsidiary Plan, other than those Liabilities under any Seller Group Plan or Foreign Seller Group Plan expressly assumed by Purchaser and its Affiliates under this Section 6.6; (B) all Liabilities with respect to current or former employees of Seller Parent or its Affiliates who are not Business Employees or Former Business Employees; (C) all Liabilities with respect to the service prior to the Closing Date of the Business Employees and Former Business Employees to Seller Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) to the extent such service was not related to the Business, and (D) all other Liabilities specified in this Section 6.6 as being retained or assumed by Seller Parent or its applicable Affiliates pursuant to this Section 6.6, which Liabilities shall be Retained Liabilities. Notwithstanding clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, this Section 6.6(a)(ii) shall not prevent Seller Parent or its Affiliates from allocating chargebacks to Purchaser or its Subsidiaries with respect to compensation and benefits costs that constitute current Liabilities for purposes of GAAP or IFRS (and excluding all other costs or Liabilities, such as pension underfunding or prior years’ accruals under qualified or non-qualified retirement or deferred compensation plans) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice related to Business Employees’ service for periods prior to the Closing; provided, however, that any such chargebacks shall be reflected as a Liability in Business Working Capital. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no Retained Liability shall be reflected as a Liability in Business Working Capital. Other than as expressly contemplated by this Section 6.6, in no event may Seller Parent or its Affiliates transfer a Seller Group Plan or Foreign Seller Group Plan (or any related Liabilities) that is not maintained by a Conveyed Subsidiary or a Subsidiary thereof as of the date of this Agreement to a Conveyed Subsidiary or a Subsidiary thereof.
(iii)    Purchaser Parent Retained Employee Liabilities. Purchaser Parent and its Affiliates (other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries), shall, effective as of the Closing, retain or assume (A) all assets and Liabilities under or relating to each Purchaser Group Plan and each Foreign Purchaser Group Plan, and each other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement at any time sponsored or maintained by Purchaser Parent or any of its ERISA Affiliates (including non-U.S. Affiliates) that is not a Purchaser Business Plan; (B) all Liabilities with respect to current or former employees of Purchaser Parent or its Affiliates who are not Purchaser Business Employees or Former Purchaser Business Employees; (C) all Liabilities with respect to the service prior to the Closing Date of the Purchaser Business Employees and Former Purchaser Business Employees to Purchaser Parent or its Affiliates (other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries) to the extent such service was not related to the Purchaser Business; and (D) all other Liabilities specified in this Section 6.6 as being retained or assumed by Purchaser Parent or its applicable Affiliates pursuant to this Section 6.6, which Liabilities shall

137



be Purchaser Parent Retained Liabilities. Notwithstanding clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, this Section 6.6(a)(iii) shall not prevent Purchaser Parent or its Affiliates from allocating chargebacks to Purchaser or its Subsidiaries with respect to compensation and benefits costs that constitute current Liabilities for purposes of GAAP or IFRS (and excluding all other costs or Liabilities, such as pension underfunding or prior years’ accruals under qualified or non-qualified retirement or deferred compensation plans) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice related to Purchaser Business Employees and, with respect to periods following the Closing, Transferred Employees; provided, however, that any chargebacks in respect of the service of Purchaser Business Employees for periods prior to the Closing shall be reflected as a Liability in Purchaser Working Capital. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no Purchaser Parent Retained Liability shall be reflected as a Liability in Purchaser Working Capital. In no event may Purchaser Parent or its Affiliates transfer a Purchaser Group Plan or Foreign Purchaser Group Plan (or any related Liabilities) that is not maintained by Purchaser or a Subsidiary thereof as of the date of this Agreement to Purchaser or a Subsidiary thereof.
(b)    Transfer of Employees.
(i)    Business Employees Generally. At least ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall provide Purchaser with a list of all Business Employees as of such time, including each such Business Employee’s name, job title, date of hire, annual salary or hourly rate (as applicable) and incentive opportunity to which each such Business Employee is entitled, provided that such information may be redacted to the extent Seller Parent is required to comply with data privacy and other applicable Laws (the “Transferring Employee List”). At least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or earlier, if required by applicable Law), Purchaser agrees to offer or cause to be offered continued employment as of the Closing Date to each Business Employee detailed on the Transferring Employee List who is not employed at a Conveyed Subsidiary or a Subsidiary thereof or who is not a TUL Employee, in the same or a Comparable Position (as defined herein) and with compensation and benefits on terms that are consistent with this Section 6.6 and Seller Parent and its Affiliates will facilitate in finalizing and distributing such offers. In addition, effective as of the Closing, Purchaser agrees to cause the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries to continue the employment of each Business Employee employed by such entities as of the Closing Date in the same or a Comparable Position and with compensation and benefits on terms that are consistent with this Section 6.6. A “Comparable Position” is a position with Purchaser or its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, a Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof) in which (A) the Business Employee’s level of responsibilities is not significantly reduced, and (B) the Business Employee is not required to relocate more than fifty (50) miles from the Business Employee’s principal business location immediately prior to the Closing.

138



(ii)    TUL Employees. Except as agreed between the Parties, with respect to each Business Employee who is not employed by a Conveyed Subsidiary or Subsidiary thereof and is employed in a jurisdiction in which the Transfer of Undertakings Laws have been implemented or apply (a “TUL Employee”), Seller Parent and Purchaser acknowledge that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are likely to give rise to a relevant transfer (or otherwise sustain the automatic transfer of employees) for purposes of the Transfer of Undertakings Laws and to apply the Transfer of Undertakings Laws insofar as they apply by Law, and accept and agree that in such event the terms and conditions of employment of each such TUL Employee shall transfer effective as of the Closing and in a manner contemplated by the Transfer of Undertakings Laws or other applicable Law. Seller Parent and Purchaser shall inform and consult with the TUL Employees or any appropriate representatives of the TUL Employees to the extent required by the Transfer of Undertakings Laws or other applicable Law. In the event that a TUL Employee objects to the transfer of employment and cannot be transferred to Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, all Liabilities associated with the continued employment of such TUL Employee by Seller Parent or its Affiliates for up to a maximum of two (2) calendar months (or any longer period required by applicable Law or the notice period under any Foreign Seller Group Plan) following Closing, and the termination of employment of such TUL Employee by Seller Parent or its Affiliates shall be considered Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Transfer of Undertakings Laws are determined not to apply to a TUL Employee, Purchaser agrees to offer or cause to be offered continued employment as of the Closing Date to such TUL Employee in accordance with Section 6.6(b)(i).
(iii)    Delayed Transfer Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Business Employee whose employment does not and cannot commence or be transferred at the Closing by applicable Laws or Purchaser and Seller Parent mutually determine cannot commence or be transferred at the Closing or whose commencement or transfer of employment is otherwise delayed (a “Delayed Transfer Employee”), Seller Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to cause the employment of such Delayed Transfer Employee to remain with Seller Parent or a Retained Subsidiary to allow such Delayed Transfer Employee to continue to participate on the compensation and benefit platforms, plans and programs of Seller Parent or such Retained Subsidiary. The Parties agree that each Delayed Transfer Employee shall commence employment with Purchaser, a Conveyed Subsidiary or another Subsidiary of Purchaser, as appropriate, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing as permitted by applicable Laws in such a manner that to the maximum extent possible does not trigger the right of such Business Employee to separation pay and is otherwise consistent with the terms and conditions of this Section 6.6 and applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller Parent shall have no obligation to transfer the employment of a Delayed Transfer Employee out of a Conveyed Subsidiary if the delayed transfer of employment is due to a delay in the transfer of the Conveyed Subsidiary to Purchaser. In respect of the Delayed

139



Transfer Employees, each reference in Section 6.6(a)(iii) (other than in this Section 6.6(b)(iii) and Section 6.6(b)(iv)) through Section 6.6(j) to “Closing” and “Closing Date” shall be treated as a reference to the first date on which the applicable Delayed Transfer Employee’s employment commences with or transfers to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the delayed transfer of such Delayed Transfer Employees, from and for a period of two (2) years after the Closing or, if earlier, the date of the applicable Delayed Transfer Employee’s termination of employment (“Delayed Employment Period”), the (A) compensation paid to such Delayed Transfer Employees in respect of the Delayed Employment Period and (B) the fringe benefit rate for such Delayed Transferred Employees’ benefits under a Seller Group Plan or Foreign Seller Group Plan that Seller Parent charges in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in respect of the Delayed Employment Period shall, in the case of (A) and (B), be considered Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities; provided that, during such period, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries receive the economic benefit of such Delayed Transferred Employee’s services.
(iv)    Disability Employees. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.6(b)(iii), and except as prohibited by applicable Law or provided in the immediately following sentence, each Business Employee who is on a leave of absence as of the Closing due to short- or long-term disability (a “Disability Employee”) and is eligible for, or in an elimination period to be eligible for, long-term disability insurance coverage under a Seller Group Plan or Foreign Seller Group Plan (a “Seller LTD Plan”) that is not a Conveyed Subsidiary Plan shall be a Delayed Transfer Employee until he or she returns to active employment; provided, that such return to active employment occurs within six (6) months following the Closing (or such longer period as may be required by applicable Law or the notice period under any Seller Group Plan or Foreign Seller Group Plan). If it is administratively impractical to delay the transfer of a Disability Employee because Seller Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) do not have an employing entity in the applicable jurisdiction following the Closing or because such Disability Employee is, prior to the Closing and prior his or her disability, already an employee of a Conveyed Subsidiary, such Disability Employee shall be treated in the same manner as all other Business Employees, except he or she shall remain eligible for coverage under the Seller LTD Plan until the elimination period in effect as of the Closing elapses, and neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall have any Liability to provide long-term disability benefits or otherwise with respect to the Seller LTD Plan. If such Disability Employee who is not a Delayed Transferred Employee in accordance with the first sentence hereof satisfies the requirements for coverage under the Seller LTD Plan at the end of such elimination period, the employment of such Disability Employee with Purchaser and its Affiliates shall terminate, and such Disability Employee shall be entitled to benefits under the Seller LTD Plan, and neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall have any Liability to provide long-term disability benefits or otherwise with respect to the Seller LTD Plan. Any Disability Employee who is a Delayed Transferred Employee in accordance with the first sentence hereof and who does not return to active employment within six

140



(6) months following the Closing (or such longer period as may be required by applicable Law or the notice period under any Seller Group Plan or Foreign Seller Group Plan) shall not be a Transferred Employee under this Agreement and, upon the conclusion of such six (6)-month period (or such longer period as may be required by applicable Law or the notice period under any Seller Group Plan or Foreign Seller Group Plan), shall no longer be considered a Business Employee under this Agreement.
(v)    Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, (A) any Business Employee (U.S.) whose employment transfers pursuant to this Section 6.6(a)(iii) shall be referred to as a “Transferred Employee (U.S.)” and (B) any Business Employee (non-U.S.) whose employment transfers pursuant to this Section 6.6(a)(iii) shall be referred to as a “Transferred Employee (non-U.S.)” (collectively, the “Transferred Employees”).
(c)    Compensation and Employee Benefits.
(i)    Continued Employee Benefits. For a period from the Closing Date until December 31, 2020 (or such longer period as required by applicable Law) (the “Continuation Period”), Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to each Transferred Employee whose terms and conditions of employment are not subject to an applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement (A) a Comparable Position, (B) base salary or wage rates that, in each case, are no less favorable than those in effect for each such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (C) cash-based incentive opportunities (which shall include, collectively, commission, cash bonus and cash incentive pay opportunities), equity incentive opportunities and nonqualified deferred compensation benefits that, in each case, are no less favorable than those provided to similarly situated Purchaser Business Employees, (D) employee benefits (excluding equity incentive opportunities and non-qualified deferred compensation) that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to those in effect for each such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (E) severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits that would have been payable to each such Transferred Employee under the Seller Group Plans or Foreign Seller Group Plans set forth in Section 6.6(c) of the Seller Disclosure Letter in which such Transferred Employee participated or was eligible for benefits immediately prior to the Closing, taking into account such Transferred Employee’s additional period of service and increases (but not decreases) in compensation following the Closing. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser or its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries to, maintain terms and conditions of employment for Transferred Employees to the extent necessary to (x) effect the automatic transfer of such employees under applicable Laws (including the Transfer of Undertakings Laws), Collective Bargaining Agreements or employment agreements, (y) comply with applicable Laws and (z) prevent severance from

141



becoming payable to any such employee under applicable Law as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(ii)    Severance or Other Termination Liabilities. Purchaser and its Subsidiaries shall be solely responsible for any severance, redundancy, long service, notice or garden leave pay, or similar payments, contributions or benefits (collectively, “Termination Expenses”) that may become payable to any Business Employee arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether or not such Business Employee becomes a Transferred Employee), including any Termination Expenses that are required to be paid by applicable Law, that may become payable to any Business Employee who does not become an employee of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries because Purchaser or its Subsidiaries fail to take all actions required by applicable Law to effectuate such Business Employee’s transfer, because such Business Employee rejects an offer of employment made in compliance with this Section 6.6, refuses to transfer employment, or otherwise challenges such transfer of employment; provided, however, that Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall retain any Termination Expenses that may become payable in connection with the Seller Internal Restructurings (collectively, the “Seller Retained Severance Liabilities”), which shall be Retained Liabilities for all purposes hereunder. If Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries becomes liable for, or is legally required to make, severance, redundancy, long service, notice or garden leave pay, or similar payments, contributions or benefits to or on behalf of any Business Employee as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether or not such Business Employee becomes a Transferred Employee), all such payments and any related costs and expenses paid or incurred by Purchaser or its applicable Subsidiary, other than any Seller Retained Severance Liabilities, shall be Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities. Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall consult with Purchaser prior to paying or committing to pay severance to a Business Employee who rejects an offer of employment made in compliance with this Section 6.6, refuses to transfer employment, or otherwise challenges such transfer of employment.
(iii)    Service Credit. For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits (and for all other purposes to the extent required by applicable Law) under the employee benefit plans of Purchaser and its Affiliates providing benefits to any Transferred Employees after the Closing, each Transferred Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with Seller Parent and its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries) and their respective predecessors to the same extent and for the same purpose as such Transferred Employee was credited, before the Closing, under any similar Seller Group Plan or Foreign Seller Group Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing, provided that the foregoing shall not apply (A) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits (including accrual of severance or termination related entitlements where these have been paid out as a result of the transactions contemplated by this

142



Agreement) or (B) for purposes of level of benefits under any defined benefit pension plan (other than under Purchaser Pension Plans with respect to the transfer of Liabilities from Seller Pension Plans as described in Section 6.6(e), or as required by applicable Law).
(iv)    Welfare Benefit Plan Obligations. Commencing as of 12:01 a.m. (local time wherever applicable) on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, provide the Transferred Employees with welfare benefits under plans and arrangements maintained or sponsored by Purchaser and its Affiliates that satisfy the standards set forth in Section 6.6(c)(i). Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, waive any waiting periods under their welfare benefit plans (including medical, dental, life insurance and short-term and long-term disability plans) and, with respect to any group health plans, shall waive any limitations for preexisting conditions, and, if applicable, shall ensure that such employees are given credit for any amounts paid toward deductibles, out-of-pocket limits or other fees on or prior to the Closing Date. Other than with respect to claims incurred under a Conveyed Subsidiary Plan, claims by a Transferred Employee for welfare benefit plan benefits or services rendered (A) as of or following 12:01 a.m. (local time wherever applicable) on the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, and (B) prior to the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Seller Parent and its Affiliates (other than a Conveyed Subsidiary or any Subsidiary thereof). Seller Parent and its Affiliates (other than a Conveyed Subsidiary or any Subsidiary thereof) will retain any obligations under Section 4980B of the Code or similar state Law (“COBRA”) with respect to Business Employees, Former Business Employees and any other qualified beneficiaries who are enrolled in COBRA continuation coverage under a Seller Group Plan that is not a Conveyed Subsidiary Plan as of the Closing or with respect to whom a COBRA qualifying event occurred prior to the Closing. This Section 6.6(c)(ii) does not apply to any Liabilities under a Conveyed Subsidiary Plan, regardless of whether the event giving rise to the cost occurred before, on or after the Closing Date, which Liabilities shall be retained or assumed by Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i)(A).
(v)    Cash Incentive Compensation. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to pay awards under Seller Parent cash-based annual incentive plan (the “Seller Cash Incentive Plan”) in which Transferred Employees participate for the performance period in which the Closing occurs, prorated for the period elapsed as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, or with respect to any Delayed Transfer Employee, the date on which such Delayed Transferred Employee transfers employment (based upon actual performance as determined in good faith in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice by Seller Parent or its applicable Affiliate), to each Transferred Employee who is eligible to receive such an award pursuant to the terms of the Seller Cash Incentive Plan, which awards shall be paid at such time and to the extent that the Transferred Employees would have otherwise become entitled to such bonuses under the Seller Cash Incentive Plan (such prorated bonus, the “Seller Closing Bonus”);

143



provided, however, if Purchaser’s or its applicable Subsidiary’s payment of the Seller Closing Bonus is prohibited under applicable Law, Purchaser and Seller Parent will agree to an alternative arrangement with respect to any such Seller Closing Bonus acting in good faith (which alternative arrangement shall preserve the division of Liabilities between Seller Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the other hand, generally contemplated by this Section 6.6(c)(v)). The aggregate amount of the Seller Closing Bonuses and any related employer-side Taxes (but less the amount of the Tax deduction that Seller Parent or its Affiliates would have realized had they paid the Seller Closing Bonuses) shall be reflected as a Liability in Business Working Capital. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.6(c)(i), effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Transferred Employees to participate in the cash-based incentive plans of Purchaser and its Affiliates for the remainder of the performance period in which the Closing occurs, which plans shall provide (A) incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable than those provided to such Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing (provided that such opportunities may be prorated for the period from and including the Closing Date until the end of the applicable performance period and may be based on reasonable performance criteria established by Purchaser in the ordinary course of business) and (B) for payment of awards for the performance period in which the Closing occurs at the time prescribed by the Seller Cash Incentive Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Closing and in accordance with the historical past practices of Seller and its Affiliates, it being understood that this clause (B) shall not require Purchaser to pay such awards automatically upon the Closing.
(vi)    Equity Incentive Compensation. Upon the Closing, each incentive award in respect of the common stock of Seller Parent (a “Seller Parent Equity Award”) held by a Transferred Employee shall become vested or eligible to vest (subject to the satisfaction of any applicable performance goals) in a prorated amount, determined based on the number of days in the applicable vesting period elapsed as of the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall grant to each Transferred Employee an equity- or cash-based incentive award (a “Make-Whole Award”) with a grant date fair value that is no less favorable than the value of the portion of the Seller Parent Equity Awards forfeited by the Transferred Employee in connection with the Closing (which forfeited amount shall be disclosed to Purchaser Parent no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing), which Make-Whole Award shall have terms and conditions that are no less favorable than the terms and conditions (including vesting schedule and accelerated vesting terms) that were applicable to the corresponding Seller Parent Equity Award. In the event that the post-Closing transfer of a Delayed Transfer Employee results in a larger portion of the Seller Parent Equity Awards held by such Delayed Transfer Employee becoming vested upon such Delayed Transfer Employee’s transfer of employment than if the employment of such Delayed Transfer Employee had transferred upon the Closing, then the incremental cost of such additional vesting (which cost shall be measured based on the taxable income the Delayed Transfer Employee either realized or would have realized had such awards been settled or exercised upon such

144



Delayed Transfer Employee’s transfer of employment to Purchaser or its Subsidiaries) shall be considered Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities.
(vii)    Accrued Time Off Entitlements. Subject to applicable Law and any required consents, from and after the Closing, with respect to each Business Employee, either (A) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, assume and honor all accrued but unused vacation and other paid time off of Business Employees or (B) if Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates is required under applicable Law to make a payment in settlement of accrued vacation or paid time off of any Business Employee, such payments shall be considered Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities and such accruals under (A) shall not be assumed and/or honored by Purchaser or its Affiliates.  Under no circumstance shall Purchaser or its Affiliates be responsible for satisfying both (A) and (B) with respect to the same Business Employee.
(d)    Seller Benefit Plans. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.6, from and after the Closing, the Transferred Employees shall cease to be active participants in the Seller Group Plans and Foreign Seller Group Plans that are not Conveyed Subsidiary Plans.
(e)    Foreign Defined Benefit Pension or Termination Benefit Plans.  
(i)    Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall establish or designate non-U.S. defined benefit pension or pension-like termination benefit plans or arrangements, as applicable (collectively, the “Purchaser Pension Plans”), for the benefit of the Transferred Employees (non-U.S.) who participate in the Foreign Seller Group Plans and other non-U.S. arrangements that provide for similar benefits, whether under a plan or pursuant to applicable Law or local practice set forth on Section 6.6(e) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (collectively, the “Seller Pension Plans,” and the Transferred Employees (non-U.S.) who participate in or accrue benefits pursuant to the Seller Pension Plans, the “Transferred Pension Plan Employees”). Each Purchaser Pension Plan shall provide, upon the transfer of assets referred to below (or, if there is no transfer of assets with respect to a particular plan because the plan is not funded, as of the Closing), that the accrued benefits for the Transferred Pension Plan Employees under such Purchaser Pension Plan shall in no event be less than their accrued benefits under the corresponding Seller Pension Plan as of the Closing. With respect to any Seller Pension Plan that is funded, Seller Parent shall cause to be transferred from the trusts or other funding vehicles under such Seller Pension Plan to the trusts or other funding vehicles under the corresponding Purchaser Pension Plan assets in the form of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities or insurance contracts (to the extent allowable under the terms of such contracts and exclusively intended to cover plan benefits), the value of which shall be equal to: (x) the actuarial present value of accumulated benefits (that is, the “accumulated benefit obligation” as defined in Topic 715 in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, the “ABO”) under such Seller Pension Plan as of the Closing that are attributable to the Transferred Pension Plan Employees, divided by the ABO

145



of all participants in such Seller Pension Plan as of the Closing, multiplied by the market value of the assets of such Seller Pension Plan at the Closing, provided that such transferred amount shall not, in any event, exceed the ABO under such Seller Pension Plan of all Transferred Pension Plan Employees as of the Closing Date or (y) such greater amount as is required by applicable Law.
(ii)    The amounts determined in accordance with Section 6.6(e)(i) are collectively referred to as the “Pension Transfer Amounts.” The transfer of the Pension Transfer Amounts, and the assumption by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries of Liabilities with respect to or relating to the Transferred Pension Plan Employees under the applicable Seller Pension Plans, shall be subject to such consents, Approvals and other requirements as may apply under applicable Law. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the corresponding Purchaser Pension Plans to accept the Pension Transfer Amounts. Actuarial determinations shall be made in accordance with Section 6.6(e)(vi). If a Seller Pension Plan is not required to be funded by applicable Law, and is not funded, there shall be no transfer of assets by the Seller Pension Plan or by Seller Parent or its Affiliates.
(iii)    As of the Closing, Seller Parent shall cause the Transferred Employees to cease further accrual of benefits under the Seller Pension Plans.
(iv)    The Pension Transfer Amount, if any, from each Seller Pension Plan shall be equitably adjusted to take into account benefit payments made from the Seller Pension Plan to the Transferred Pension Plan Employees after the Closing but prior to the date of transfer and for any earnings and losses on such amount during such period. The Pension Transfer Amount, if any, shall be determined pursuant to Section 6.6(e)(vi).
(v)    At the times of the transfers of the Pension Transfer Amounts (or if there is no transfer of assets with respect to a particular plan because the plan is not required to be funded under applicable Law and is not funded, from and after the Closing), Purchaser and the Purchaser Pension Plans shall assume all Liabilities for all accrued benefits, including all disability, part-time, early retirement and other ancillary benefits, under the corresponding Seller Pension Plans in respect of the Transferred Pension Plan Employees whose benefits are so transferred, and Seller Parent and its Affiliates and the corresponding Seller Pension Plans shall be relieved of all Liabilities to provide benefits under the Seller Pension Plans to the Transferred Pension Plan Employees whose benefits are so transferred. From and after the date of such applicable transfer of the Pension Transfer Amounts (or if there is no transfer of assets with respect to a particular plan because the plan is not required to be funded under applicable Law and is not funded, from and after the Closing), Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller Parent and its Affiliates and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all costs, damages, losses, expenses, or other Liabilities arising out of or related to the Transferred Pension Plan

146



Employees’ benefits under the Seller Pension Plans that are transferred to Purchaser or Purchaser Pension Plans pursuant to this Section 6.6(e).
(vi)    For purposes of this Section 6.6(e), actuarial determinations shall be based upon the actuarial assumptions and methodologies used in preparing the most recent audited financial statements of Seller Parent as of the date of the determination. The applicable plan sponsor of the Seller Pension Plans shall cause the plan actuary or administrator to provide a report of its determination of such amount within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date and any back-up information reasonably required by Purchaser to confirm the accuracy of such determination. If Purchaser disputes the accuracy of the calculation, Purchaser and Seller Parent shall cooperate to identify the basis for such disagreement and act in good faith to resolve such dispute. To the extent that a dispute is unresolved after a forty-five (45)-day period following identification of such dispute, the calculations shall be verified by an independent third-party benefits consulting firm selected by the mutual agreement of Seller Parent and Purchaser. The decision of such consulting firm shall be final, binding and conclusive on Seller Parent and Purchaser. Notwithstanding Section 6.6(a)(i)(E), Seller Parent and Purchaser Parent shall share equally the costs of such consulting firm.
(vii)    This Section 6.6(e) does not apply to any Liabilities under a Conveyed Subsidiary Plan, which Liabilities shall be retained or assumed by Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i)(A). For clarity, Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall retain all assets and Liabilities, including those related to Business Employees and Former Business Employees (and their service prior to Closing), in respect of Seller Group Plans and Foreign Seller Group Plans that are defined benefit pension plans or pension-like termination benefit plans or arrangements but not Conveyed Subsidiary Plans, or with respect to Transferred Employees (non-U.S.), Seller Pension Plans.
(f)    Defined Contribution Plans (U.S.).
(i)    Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall create or designate defined contribution pension plans (collectively, the “Purchaser DC Plans (U.S.)”) for the benefit of the Transferred Employees (U.S.) who participate in one or more of the defined contribution pension plans maintained by Seller Parent or its Affiliates (other than a Conveyed Subsidiary Plan) that are intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code immediately prior to the Closing or the corresponding provisions of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code (collectively, the “Seller DC Plans (U.S.),” and the Transferred Employees who participate in the Seller DC Plans (U.S.), the “DC Employees (U.S.)”). The applicable Purchaser DC Plans (U.S.) shall be tax-qualified in the same manner as the corresponding Seller DC Plans (U.S.), and, prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall provide Seller Parent any determination letters or similar documentation evidencing such qualification.

147



(ii)    Each Purchaser DC Plan (U.S.) shall allow for the receipt in cash from the DC Employees (U.S.) of “eligible rollover distributions” (as such term is defined under Section 402 of the Code or any equivalent term under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code), but also including notes corresponding to loans. Purchaser and Seller Parent shall work together in order to facilitate any such distribution or rollover and to effect an eligible rollover distribution for those DC Employees (U.S.) who elect to rollover their account balances, including notes, directly into a Purchaser DC Plan (U.S.).
(iii)    Any DC Employee (U.S.) who has an unvested account balance under a Seller DC Plan (U.S.) as of the Closing Date shall become vested on the Closing Date in a prorated portion thereof, determined based on the number of days in the applicable vesting period elapsed as of the Closing Date. Any DC Employee (U.S.) who would be eligible for an employer contribution had he or she remained an active participant in the applicable Seller DC Plan (U.S.) until the next date on which such employer contribution would be made, shall receive a prorated employer contribution under the applicable Seller DC Plan (U.S.) on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, determined based on the number of days in the applicable service period elapsed as of the Closing Date. The contributions and vesting of benefits described in this Section 6.6(f)(iii) shall be Retained Liabilities.
(g)    Defined Contribution Plans (non-U.S.).
(i)    Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall establish or designate defined contribution plans or arrangements (collectively, the “Purchaser DC Plans (non-U.S.)”) for the benefit of the Transferred Employees (non-U.S.) who participate in one or more of the defined contribution plans maintained by Seller Parent or its Affiliates (other than a Conveyed Subsidiary Plan) or any other arrangement that provides for similar benefits pursuant to applicable Law or local practice (collectively, the “Seller DC Plans (non-U.S.),” and the Transferred Employees who participate in the Seller DC Plans (non-U.S.), the “DC Employees (non-U.S.)”). The applicable Purchaser DC Plans (non-U.S.) shall be tax-qualified in the same manner as the corresponding Seller DC Plans (non-U.S.), and, prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall provide Seller Parent any determination letters or similar documentation evidencing such qualification. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Purchaser DC Plan (non-U.S.) shall allow for the receipt in cash from the DC Employees (non-U.S.) of rollover distributions, but also including notes corresponding to loans. Purchaser and Seller Parent shall work together in order to facilitate any such distribution or rollover and to effect a rollover distribution for those DC Employees (non-U.S.) who elect to rollover their account balances, including notes, directly into a Purchaser DC Plan (non-U.S.).
(ii)    Notwithstanding Section 6.6(g)(i), if applicable Law requires Purchaser to assume the Liabilities of the DC Employees (non-U.S.) under a Seller DC Plan (non-U.S.), Seller Parent shall cause the transfer under each such Seller

148



DC Plan (non-U.S.) to the corresponding Purchaser DC Plan (non-U.S.) of (A) the account balances of such DC Employees (non-U.S.) as of the Closing or cash, cash equivalents or other property equal to the actual account balances of the DC Employees (non-U.S.) under each such Seller DC Plan (non-U.S.) as of the Closing or such greater amount as is required by any applicable Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Seller DC Plan (non-U.S.) in order to obtain approval of such transfer, and (B) any notes corresponding to loans of the DC Employees (non-U.S.) (collectively, the “DC Transfer Amounts”). The transfer of the DC Transfer Amounts shall be subject to such consents, Approvals and other legal requirements as may apply under applicable Law. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the DC Transfer Amounts to be accepted by such plans. The DC Transfer Amounts to be transferred, if any, from the respective Seller DC Plans (non-U.S.) shall be equitably adjusted to take into account benefit payments made from the respective Seller DC Plans (non-U.S.) to the DC Employees (non-U.S.) after the Closing but prior to the date of transfer and for any earnings and losses on such amount during such period. The transfer of the DC Transfer Amounts, if any, shall take place within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date. At the times of the transfers of the DC Transfer Amounts, Purchaser and the Purchaser DC Plans (non-U.S.) shall assume all Liabilities with respect to the DC Transfer Amounts relating to Transferred Employees (non-U.S.) that were transferred from the applicable Seller DC Plan (non-U.S.), and Seller Parent and its Affiliates and the Seller DC Plans (non-U.S.) shall be relieved of all such Liabilities under such Seller DC Plan (non-U.S.) with respect to such Transferred Employees (non-U.S.). From and after the date of the transfer of the DC Transfer Amounts, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller Parent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all costs, damages, losses, expenses, or other Liabilities arising out of or related to the DC Transfer Amounts for Transferred Employees (non-U.S.) under the applicable Seller DC Plans (non-U.S.).
(iii)    Any DC Employee (non-U.S.) who has an unvested account balance under a Seller DC Plan (non-U.S.) as of the Closing Date shall become vested on the Closing Date in a prorated portion thereof, determined based on the number of days in the applicable vesting period elapsed as of the Closing Date. Any DC Employee (non-U.S.) who would be eligible for an employer contribution had he or she remained an active participant in the applicable Seller DC Plan (non-U.S.) until the next date on which such employer contribution would be made, shall receive a prorated employer contribution under the applicable Seller DC Plan (non-U.S.) on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, determined based on the number of days in the applicable service period elapsed as of the Closing Date. The contributions and vesting of benefits described in this Section 6.6(g)(iii) shall be Retained Liabilities.

149



(iv)    This Section 6.6 does not apply to any Liabilities under a Conveyed Subsidiary Plan, which Liabilities shall be retained or assumed by Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i)(A).
(h)    Retiree Medical Plans. Effective as of the Closing, each Transferred Employee who is eligible to become a participant upon termination of service in the Seller Retained Plans that provide retiree medical benefits set forth on Section 6.6(h) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Seller Retiree Medical Plans”) as of the Closing (i) shall cease being eligible to become a participant, or accrue service towards eligibility, in the Seller Retiree Medical Plans, and Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall have no Liabilities in respect of the provision of post-retirement medical benefits to such Transferred Employee, and (ii) shall commence accruing service towards eligibility and level of benefits (taking into account the recognition of all prior service credit in accordance with Section 6.6(c)(iii)) in a retiree medical plan maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates that provides benefits that are either (A) no less favorable than those provided under the applicable Seller Retiree Medical Plans, including with respect to an employer subsidy, or (B) the same as those provided to similarly situated Purchaser Business Employees (“Purchaser Retiree Medical Plan”), which Purchaser Retiree Medical Plan shall not be modified in a manner adverse to the Transferred Employees relative to other participants; provided, however, such plans shall have requirements for retirement-eligibility that are the same as those provided to other Purchaser Retiree Medical Plan participants or, if more favorable, during the Continuation Period, the same as the applicable Seller Retiree Medical Plan with respect to the Transferred Employees. Subject to continued employment, the Transferred Employees shall continue accruing service towards eligibility and levels of benefits thereunder, for at least the Continuation Period (or such longer period as required by applicable Law). This Section 6.6(h) shall not limit Purchaser’s obligations with respect to a Conveyed Subsidiary Plan or any other arrangement that provides for similar benefits as required by applicable Law, which shall be considered Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities, in accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i).
(i)    Flexible Spending Accounts. Seller Parent and Purchaser shall take all actions necessary or appropriate so that, effective as of the Closing Date (i) the account balances (whether positive or negative) (the “Transferred FSA Balances”) under the applicable flexible spending plan of Seller Parent or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller FSA Plan”) of the Transferred Employees who are participants in the Seller FSA Plan shall be transferred to one or more comparable plans of Purchaser or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser FSA Plan”); (ii) the elections, contribution levels and coverage levels of such Transferred Employees shall apply under the Purchaser FSA Plan in the same manner as under the Seller FSA Plan; and (iii) such Transferred Employees shall be reimbursed from the Purchaser FSA Plan for claims incurred at any time during the plan year of the Seller FSA Plan in which the Closing Date occurs that are submitted to the Purchaser FSA Plan from and after the Closing Date on substantially the same basis and substantially the same terms and conditions as under the Seller FSA Plan. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days after the amount of the Transferred FSA Balances is determined, Seller Parent or its Affiliates shall pay to Purchaser or its Affiliates the net aggregate amount of the Transferred FSA Balances, if such amount is positive, and Purchaser or its Subsidiaries shall pay to Seller Parent or its Affiliates the net aggregate amount of the Transferred FSA Balances, if such amount is negative.

150



(j)    Employment Agreements. Except for any Liabilities related to transaction bonuses or retention awards granted prior to Closing to any Transferred Employee that are or were adopted without Purchaser Parent’s prior written approval (collectively, the “Seller Retention Awards”), any employment, severance, retention or other individual agreement between Seller Parent or its Affiliates and a Transferred Employee and the related Liabilities shall, effective as of the Closing, be assumed by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, and shall be considered Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities in accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i). Seller Parent shall reimburse Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate, as soon as practicable but in any event within thirty (30) days of receipt of appropriate verification, for all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate after the Closing Date with respect to the Seller Retention Awards, including the employer side Taxes or other payments related thereto.
(k)    Deferred Compensation. Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall retain all assets and Liabilities in respect of the Seller Group Plans and Foreign Seller Group Plans set forth on Section 6.6(k) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, which are nonqualified or non-approved retirement plans that are not Conveyed Subsidiary Plans. For purposes of any Seller Group Plan or Foreign Seller Group Plan that provides for “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)(4), Seller Parent and Purchaser agree that the transfer of a Transferred Employee’s employment in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and, further, for any such Seller Group Plan or Foreign Seller Group Plan in respect of which Seller Parent or its Affiliates are retaining Liabilities related to a Transferred Employee, that Purchaser shall notify Seller Parent in writing of a Transferred Employee’s separation from service with Purchaser or its Affiliates within thirty (30) days thereafter.
(l)    Labor and Employment Law Matters. Purchaser and Seller Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate to take all steps, on a timely basis, as are required under applicable Law (including the Transfer of Undertakings Laws) or any Collective Bargaining Agreement to notify, consult with, or negotiate the effect, impact, terms or timing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with each works council, union, labor board, employee group (or employees directly) or Governmental Authority related to the foregoing. Seller Parent shall regularly review with Purchaser the progress of the notifications, consultations and negotiations with each such works council, union, labor board, employee group (or employees directly) and Governmental Authority regarding the effect, impact or timing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, comply with all applicable Laws, directives and regulations relating to the Business Employees in connection with this Section 6.6(l). To the extent required by Law or Collective Bargaining Agreement (and within the time periods required by Law or Collective Bargaining Agreement), Purchaser shall or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to (i) become a party to any Collective Bargaining Agreement with respect to applicable Transferred Employees and shall be responsible for all Liabilities under any Collective Bargaining Agreement with respect to any Business Employee or Former Business Employee, regardless of whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing Date, and (ii) join any industrial, employer or similar association or federation. Purchaser shall indemnify Seller Parent and its Affiliates for any Liabilities incurred by Seller Parent and its Affiliates with respect to Purchaser or its Affiliates’ failure to comply with the obligations under this Section 6.6(l), which

151



shall be considered Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities in accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i). Seller Parent shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates for any Liabilities incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates with respect to Seller Parent’s or its Affiliates’ failure to comply with the obligations under this Section 6.6(l).
(m)    Immigration. Purchaser and Seller Parent shall, or shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any foreign national, who requires a visa in order to work for Seller Parent or its Affiliate in his or her current position, may continue to work in such position as a Transferred Employee following the Closing Date, or, as applicable, such later date that such Business Employee’s employment transfers to Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate.
(n)    Access to Independent Contractors and Service Providers. During the period prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make individual natural person independent contractors related to the Business and directly engaged by Seller Parent or its Affiliates available to Purchaser for the purpose of allowing Purchaser to interview each such contractor and determine the nature and extent of each such person’s continuation with Purchaser, if any. Seller Parent shall provide to Purchaser contact information for third-party service providers providing contingent personnel to the Business and reasonably cooperate in identifying and facilitating Purchaser’s engagement of such contingent work force to the extent requested by Purchaser.
(o)    Communications. Prior to the Closing, any employee notices or communication materials (including website postings) from Purchaser or its Affiliates to the Business Employees (including their representatives), including notices or communication materials with respect to employment, compensation or benefits matters addressed in this Agreement or related, directly or indirectly, to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or employment thereafter, shall be subject to the prior review, comment and approval of Seller Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Prior to the Closing, any employee notices or communication materials (including website postings) from Seller Parent or its Affiliates to the Business Employees (or their representatives) with respect to employment with, or compensation or benefits to be provided by, Purchaser or its Affiliates following the Closing, shall be subject to the prior review, comment and approval of Purchaser (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Further, prior to the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not make broad-based unwritten communications to the Business Employees without Seller Parent’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Seller Parent and Purchaser shall coordinate to establish a protocol for reviewing and approving forms of employee notices and communication materials, and employee notices and communication materials that are consistent with the agreed form shall not be subject to further review and approval.
(p)    Taxes and Filings. With respect to each Transferred Employee (U.S.), the Parties shall, or shall cause their respective Affiliates to, (i) treat Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate as a “successor employer” and Seller Parent or its applicable Affiliate as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, for purposes of Taxes imposed under the U.S. Federal Insurance Contributions Act, as amended (“FICA”), or the U.S. Federal

152



Unemployment Tax Act, as amended (“FUTA”), (ii) cooperate with each other to avoid the restart of FICA and FUTA upon or following the Closing with respect to each such Transferred Employee for the year during which the Closing occurs, and (iii) implement the alternate procedure described in Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, including with respect to the filing of all applicable forms (including Form 941). In addition, with respect to each Transferred Employee (U.S.), Purchaser shall be responsible for the filing of Form 1095-C in respect of the year in which the Closing occurs. In accordance with Section 6.5(c), Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to any Tax deduction available in respect of all compensation and benefit-related Liabilities that it retains pursuant to this Section 6.6.
(q)    Cooperation. Subject to applicable Law and Section 2.2 and Section 6.4, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, Seller Parent, Purchaser, and their respective Affiliates will reasonably cooperate in all matters reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.6, including (i) exchanging information and data reasonably necessary for Seller Parent and Purchaser to comply with their respective obligations under this Section 6.6, (ii) making any and all required filings and notices, (iii) making any and all required communications with Business Employees, and (iv) obtaining any required approvals of a Governmental Authority.
(r)    No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 6.6 is included for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted transferees and permitted assigns and does not and shall not create any right in any Person, including any current or former employee of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates, any Business Employee, any Transferred Employee or beneficiary or dependent of the foregoing, who is not a Party. Nothing contained in this Agreement (express or implied) is intended to (a) create or amend any employee benefit plan or arrangement or (b) confer upon any individual any right to employment for any period of time, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment. No current or former employee of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates, any Business Employee, Former Business Employee or any Transferred Employee, including any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any other Person not a Party or permitted transferee or permitted assign thereof, shall be entitled to assert any claim against Purchaser, Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates under this Section 6.6.
Section 6.7    Intercompany Accounts and Arrangements.
(a)    Seller Parent may take (or cause one or more of its Affiliates to take) such action as is necessary or advisable to settle, effective as of, or prior to, the Closing Date, all intercompany accounts that are in the nature of Funded Indebtedness between a Conveyed Subsidiary or any Subsidiary thereof, on the one hand, and Seller Parent or any of the Retained Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in such a manner as Seller Parent shall determine in its sole discretion without any further Liability or obligation therefor of any Person. Any intercompany accounts that are in the nature of Funded Indebtedness between a Conveyed Subsidiary or any Subsidiary thereof, on the one hand, and Seller Parent or any of the Retained Subsidiaries, on the other hand, that are settled after 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date but in connection with the Closing shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have been settled as of 12:01 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date, and any intercompany accounts that are in the nature of Funded

153



Indebtedness between a Conveyed Subsidiary (or any of its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and Seller Parent or any of the Retained Subsidiaries, on the other hand, that remain outstanding following the Closing shall not be deemed Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities for purposes of this Agreement.

156



do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) to the Party for which such mail and communications are intended. The provisions of this Section 6.9 are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, constitute an authorization by any Party to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and no Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of any other for service of process purposes.
Section 6.10    Transfer of Business IP and Registrations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Purchaser Parent shall be responsible for preparing and filing all instruments and documents necessary to effect the assignment of the Business IP that is owned by Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries, Product Registrations and Manufacturing Registrations to Purchaser and its Affiliates, including all costs and expenses of preparing and recording country-specific assignments and legalization of signatures (where required). Subject to Section 2.2 and Section 6.4, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with the foregoing as set forth herein and in Section 6.4; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such obligation of Seller Parent to cooperate shall expire twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date (except with respect to Registered Business IP that is owned or purported to be owned by Seller Parent or its Subsidiaries or their predecessors with respect to which there are gaps in the chain of title and the record or beneficial title is, as of the Closing Date, not in the name of a Seller, which obligation shall continue until forty-eight (48) months following the Closing Date.
Section 6.11    No Solicitation.

Section 6.12    Confidentiality.
(a)    For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date (and for trade secrets, for so long as they remain trade secrets), each Party shall hold, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to hold, and shall cause their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence and not to disclose or release or use in any manner without the prior written consent of the other Parties any and all of the other Parties’ Confidential Information; provided that the Parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to their respective Affiliates or Representatives who have a need to know such information and are informed of their obligation to treat such information in the same manner as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose

157



failure to comply with such obligations Seller Parent, Purchaser Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, will be responsible, (ii) if the Parties or their respective Affiliates or Representatives are compelled to disclose, on the advice of legal counsel, any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or any securities exchange, market or automated quotation system to which such Person is subject or (iii) in connection with any Action to enforce such Party’s rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or otherwise in the performance by such Party of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made by a Party pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Party shall (x) to the extent legally permissible, promptly notify the other Parties of the existence of such request or demand and the disclosure that is expected to be made in respect thereto, in each case with sufficient specificity so that the other Parties may, at their expense, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.12 and (y) if requested by another Party, assist such other Party, at such other Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy in respect of such request or demand; provided that a Party and its Affiliates and Representatives shall be permitted to disclose such Confidential Information without notice in response to a demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information in connection with a routine examination or audit by a Governmental Authority that is not specifically directed at the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or such Confidential Information, provided that such disclosing Party and, if applicable, such Affiliate or Representative, exercise its and their reasonable best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, including by obtaining reasonable assurances that confidential treatment shall be accorded any Confidential Information so disclosed. If such a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by another Party is not obtained and such disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is, nonetheless, following consultation with its legal counsel, required by such judicial or administrative process, Law or securities exchange, market or automated quotation system to disclose any Confidential Information, such disclosing Party (or such Affiliate or Representative) may, after compliance with the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 6.12(a), disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which it has been advised by its legal counsel is required to be disclosed, provided that such disclosing Party and, if applicable, such Affiliate or Representative, exercise its and their reasonable best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, including by obtaining reasonable assurances that confidential treatment shall be accorded any Confidential Information so disclosed.
(b)    As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all non-public proprietary, technical, economic, environmental, operational, financial or other business information or material, data, reports, interpretations, forecasts and business plans, in written, oral (including by recording), electronic or visual form, in the possession of, or which has been disclosed to, whether prior to or following the Closing Date, a Party or its Affiliates or Representatives by any other Party or its Affiliates or Representatives, including pursuant to the access provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (i) related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Strategic Process, (ii) in the case of Seller Parent and its Affiliates and Representatives, to the extent relating to the Purchaser Parent Retained Businesses or the Purchaser Parent Retained Liabilities, and (iii) in the case of Purchaser Parent, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates and Representatives, to the extent relating to the Excluded Assets, the Retained Businesses

158



or the Retained Liabilities (except, in each case, to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (A) in the public domain (other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or its Affiliates or Representatives), (B) available after the date hereof to such Party or its Affiliates or Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other Parties or their respective Affiliates or Representatives without, to such Party’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry, being subject to any contractual or other obligation of confidentiality to the other Parties or their respective Affiliates or Representatives or (C) independently developed by or on behalf of such Party or its Affiliates or Representatives without use of, reference to or reliance upon any Confidential Information of the other Parties (as can be demonstrated by such Party by appropriate documentary evidence) and not, to such Party’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry, subject to any contractual or other obligation of confidentiality to the other Parties or their respective Affiliates or Representatives).
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) Seller Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser Parent, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise the same degree of care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they take to preserve confidentiality for their own similar information, materials or other documents and (ii) confidentiality obligations contained in any agreement between Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates, or Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and any employee of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates, or Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, shall remain in full force and effect.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6.12, to the extent that an Ancillary Agreement or another Contract pursuant to which a Party or any of its Affiliates is bound provides that certain Confidential Information shall be maintained confidential on a basis that is more protective of such Confidential Information or for a longer period of time than provided for in this Section 6.12, then the applicable provisions contained in such Ancillary Agreement or other Contract shall control with respect thereto. After the Closing Date, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated by the parties thereto and shall no longer be in effect. Seller Parent shall enforce, or otherwise assign to Purchaser, its rights under any confidentiality agreements entered into by Seller Parent with other potential purchasers of the Business in connection with the Strategic Process with respect to the confidentiality, non-disclosure or use of Evaluation Material (as defined in such confidentiality agreements) to the extent related to the Business. Seller Parent shall, promptly after the date hereof, request the return or destruction of any such Evaluation Material provided to such other potential purchasers to the extent required to be returned or destroyed in accordance with and subject to the terms of such confidentiality agreements.
Section 6.13    Guarantees; Letters of Credit.

159



and their respective Affiliates to be released, effective as of the Closing, in respect of all Liabilities and obligations of the Sellers and any of their respective Affiliates under or related to each of the Seller Parent Guarantees and Seller Parent LCs (other than to the extent related to the Retained Business, Excluded Assets or Retained Liabilities), and Purchaser Parent and the Sellers shall reasonably cooperate in Purchaser’s efforts. Subject to the parenthetical in the preceding sentence, for any Seller Parent Guarantee or Seller Parent LC for which Purchaser or any Conveyed Subsidiary, as applicable, is not substituted in all respects for the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (or for which the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (other than the Conveyed Subsidiaries) are not released), effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause the Conveyed Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts, to effect such substitution and release after the Closing, and Purchaser Parent and the Sellers shall continue to reasonably cooperate in Purchaser’s efforts; provided that none of the Sellers, Purchaser Parent or any of their respective Affiliates (other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries) shall have any obligation to make payments or incur any costs or expenses, grant any concession or incur any other Liability in connection with such cooperation pursuant to this Section 6.13 except to the extent Purchaser agrees to promptly reimburse Sellers, Purchaser Parent and their Affiliates (other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries), as applicable, or agrees to fully indemnify the Sellers, Purchaser Parent and their Affiliates (other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries), as applicable, for any such Liabilities to Seller Parent’s or Purchaser Parent’s reasonable satisfaction, as applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall extend, renew, increase its obligations under or transfer to a third party any Contract containing or underlying a Seller Parent Guarantee or Seller Parent LC or any Contract to which any Seller Parent Guarantee or Seller Parent LC relates or pursuant to which any Seller Parent Guarantee or Seller Parent LC was issued or required to be issued unless, prior to or concurrently with such extension, renewal, increase or transfer, Purchaser or a Subsidiary of Purchaser is substituted in all respects for the Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates, and the Sellers and their respective Affiliates are released, in respect of all Liabilities and obligations of the Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates under or in respect of such Seller Parent Guarantee or Seller Parent LC. In no event shall Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates be obligated to pay any money to any Person to effect the substitutions described in this Section 6.13(a). The Parties agree that neither Seller Parent nor any of the Retained Subsidiaries will have any obligation to renew any Seller Parent LCs after the expiration of any such letter of credit. Neither the Seller Parent Guarantees nor the Seller Parent LCs shall be deemed Purchased Assets hereunder.
(b)    Without limiting Section 6.13(a) in any respect, from and after the Closing, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, including the Conveyed Subsidiaries (and their Subsidiaries), jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parent Indemnified Parties against any Liabilities that the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates suffer, incur or are liable for following the Closing by reason of or arising out of or in consequence of (i) the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates issuing, making payment under, being required to pay or reimburse the issuer of or any other Person in connection with, or being a party to, any Seller Parent Guarantee or Seller Parent LC, (ii) any claim or demand for payment made on the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any Seller Parent Guarantee or Seller Parent LC or (iii) any Action by any Person who is or claims to be entitled to the benefit of or claims to be entitled to payment, reimbursement or indemnity with respect to any Seller Parent Guarantee or Seller Parent LC.

The applicable Purchaser Indemnified Parties agree not to use groundwater under any Real Property or Purchaser Real Property, as applicable, to the extent such restriction is necessary to permit the use of site specific corrective action remedies or remedies based on exposure controls as part of such Remedial Action. All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Parties or their respective Representatives cooperating with or otherwise assisting the Parent conducting the Remedial Action pursuant to this Section 6.26 shall be promptly reimbursed by the Parent conducting the Remedial Action.

173



or incorporated, as applicable, following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing in connection with the Seller Internal Restructurings, and such New Subsidiaries are therefore not in existence as of the date of this Agreement. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller Parent makes no representations and warranties with respect to the organization, good standing, authority, capital structure, operations and Liabilities of any such New Subsidiary as of or prior to the date of each respective New Subsidiary’s establishment, formation or incorporation. Seller Parent may at any time prior to the Closing supplement or amend the lists set forth in Section 4.3(b) or Section 4.3(c) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, solely to reflect any changes pursuant to the Seller Internal Restructurings (including any steps Seller Parent shall undertake to effect the Seller Internal Restructurings) made in accordance with (f)(i).

(i)    The Parties acknowledge and agree that indemnification shall not be available with respect to any Loss resulting from a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Implementing Agreement to the extent (and only to the extent) the Loss (or related Liability) was accrued or reserved for in the Financial Statements or the Purchaser Financial Statements, as applicable, or actually taken into account in the Final Closing Statement or the calculation of the Final Business Working Capital, the Final Business Net Cash, the Final Purchaser Working Capital or the Final Purchaser Net Cash, as applicable.
Section 7.2    Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parent Indemnified Parties and the Purchaser Parent Indemnified Parties (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) (a) from and against any and all Losses (other than Taxes arising out of a Tax Claim, which are the subject of Section 6.5(d)) that any such Parent Indemnified Party suffers or incurs to the extent resulting from (i) any Assumed Liability or (ii) any Purchaser Liability and (b) from and against any and all Losses (other than Taxes arising out of a Tax Claim, which are the subject of Section 6.5(d)) any such Parent Indemnified Party suffers or incurs to the extent resulting from any breach following the Closing by Purchaser of any covenant or agreement expressly made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Implementing Agreement, in its capacity as a Party hereto (and not in its capacity as an Affiliate or Subsidiary of Purchaser Parent), which covenant or agreement by its terms contemplates actions or imposes obligations following the Closing.
Section 7.3    Indemnification Procedures.
(a)    Any Person entitled to be indemnified under this Article VII (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give written notice to the Party from whom indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) and each other Party hereto of any pending or threatened Action against the Indemnified Party that has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to such right of indemnification with respect to such Action (a “Third Party Claim”), indicating, with reasonable specificity, and based on the facts then known to the Indemnified Party, the nature of such Third Party Claim, the basis therefor, a copy of any documentation received from the third party, the amount and calculation of the Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII (and a good faith estimate of any such future Losses relating thereto), and the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Implementing Agreement in respect of which such Losses shall have occurred, and the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party any information or documentation related to the foregoing reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) shall not limit the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, except (i) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby and (ii) as provided by Section 7.4 (unless, with respect to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.2, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), Purchaser Parent has Intentionally Breached (or caused Purchaser to Intentionally Breach) its obligations pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence).
(b)    With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the defense, at its own expense

175



and by counsel of its own choosing, of such Third Party Claim and any Third Party Claims related to the same or a substantially similar set of facts; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or is a criminal Action. If the Indemnifying Party so undertakes to defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense against, and settlement of, any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement does not involve any injunctive relief against or any finding or admission of any violation of Law or wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and any money damages are borne solely by the Indemnifying Party (other than solely with respect to the Deductible, to the extent such damages would constitute Losses to which such Deductible would be applicable); provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party is Purchaser, Purchaser shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of both Parents (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Subject to the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in but not control the defense of such Action at its own cost and expense; provided that, subject to the provisions of this Article VII, the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees of one firm of legal counsel (and one additional firm of legal counsel in each jurisdiction implicated in such Action) representing all Indemnified Parties in such Action and all related Actions, if, but only if, the defendants in such Action include both an Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of legal counsel, that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such Action. In any event, the Indemnified Party shall cause its legal counsel to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its legal counsel. No Indemnified Party may settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and, if the Indemnified Party is Purchaser, the written consent of both Parents (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, it shall nevertheless be entitled to participate in the defense of such Action at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense against, and settlement of, any such Third Party Claim.
(c)    In the event that any Indemnified Party has or may have an indemnification claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Article VII that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party indicating, with reasonable specificity, and based on the facts then known to the Indemnified Party, the nature of such claim, the basis therefor, the amount and calculation of the Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII (and a good-faith estimate of any such future Losses relating thereto), and the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Implementing Agreement in respect of which such Losses shall have occurred, and the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party any information or documentation related to the foregoing reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) shall not limit the obligations of

176



the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, except (i) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby and (ii) as provided by Section 7.4 (unless, with respect to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.2, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), Purchaser Parent has Intentionally Breached (or caused Purchaser to Intentionally Breach) its obligations pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence). If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the notice of such indemnification claim by the Indemnifying Party, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction set forth in Section 10.10; provided that if the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party is Purchaser, the Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Party shall not agree to settle or resolve any such claim with the written consent of both Parents (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 7.4    Expiration. If the Closing has occurred, all covenants and agreements made herein or in any Ancillary Implementing Agreement which, in each case, by their terms contemplate actions or impose obligations following the Closing shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms; provided that, other than indemnification obligations in respect of Taxes (the survival of which shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.5(l)), (a) the obligations of Purchaser to assume, and to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parent Indemnified Parties and the Purchaser Parent Indemnified Parties for, the Assumed Liabilities and the Purchaser Liabilities, (b) the obligations of Seller Parent to retain, and indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Purchaser Parent Indemnified Parties for, the Retained Liabilities and (c) the obligations of Purchaser Parent to retain, and indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Parent Indemnified Parties for, the Purchaser Parent Retained Liabilities, shall in each case survive the Closing indefinitely. All other covenants and agreements contained herein or in any Ancillary Implementing Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall terminate and expire on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (other than the covenants and agreements set forth therein which by their terms contemplate actions or impose obligations following the Closing, which shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms). All representations and warranties made herein or in any Ancillary Implementing Agreement, and all indemnification obligations under Section 7.1 with respect to any such representations or warranties, shall terminate and expire on the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Fundamental Seller Parent Representations and the Fundamental Purchaser Parent Representations shall terminate and expire on the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date. No Person shall be entitled to indemnification, and no Action seeking to recover Taxes, Losses or other relief shall be commenced or maintained, with respect to any breach of any covenants, agreements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Implementing Agreement after the date on which such covenant, agreement, representation or warranty shall terminate pursuant to this Section 7.4 or Section 6.5(l), unless prior to such termination date a claim for indemnification with respect thereto has been made by written notice in accordance with Section 7.3 (in the case of Losses or other relief) or Section 6.5(d) (in the case of Taxes), in which case such claim for indemnification shall survive until finally resolved in accordance with this Agreement.

177



Section 7.5    Certain Limitations.
(a)    Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, neither Seller Parent nor Purchaser Parent, as applicable, shall have any indemnification obligations (i) under Section 7.1(a)(iii) or Section 7.1(b)(iii), as applicable, for any Loss (together with any and all other Losses resulting from the same facts or circumstances) that is less than $20,000,000 (the “De Minimis Claim Threshold”), or (ii) under Section 7.1(a)(iii) or Section 7.1(b)(iii) (except with respect to any breach of any Fundamental Seller Parent Representation or Fundamental Purchaser Parent Representation) for any Loss that is equal to or greater than the De Minimis Claim Threshold, unless the aggregate amount of all Losses for which indemnification is available under the applicable provision exceeds $200,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay only the amount of such Losses that exceeds the Deductible but only up to a maximum amount in respect of all such Losses (without giving effect to the Deductible) in the aggregate of $2,000,000,000.
Section 7.6    Losses Net of Insurance, Etc. The amount of any Tax or Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 6.5(d), Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall be net of (i) any amounts recovered by the applicable Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party, and (ii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement received with respect to such Tax or Loss, and (iii) in the case of Purchaser Parent as the Indemnifying Party, any amounts recovered by the Purchaser pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2014, by and among Purchaser Parent, Purchaser and Novartis AG, as amended (the source of any such amounts referred to in clause (i) or (ii), a “Collateral Source”), in each case net of any Taxes imposed or reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the collection of such insurance proceeds, cash receipts or sources of reimbursement. The applicable Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery for such Taxes or Losses from all Collateral Sources. The Indemnifying Party may require an Indemnified Party to assign to the Indemnifying Party the rights to seek recovery from any Collateral Sources (to the extent such rights are capable of assignment); provided that the Indemnifying Party will then be responsible for pursuing such claim at its own expense; provided, further, that the Indemnified Party shall cooperate (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) with the Indemnifying Party to seek such recovery. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Section 6.5(d) or this Article VII is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.5(d) or this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to Section 6.5(d) or this Article VII had such determination been made at the time of such payment.
Section 7.7    No Right of Set-Off. No Party shall have any right to set off any Taxes or Losses under Section 6.5(d) and this Article VII against any payments to be made by such Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement among the Parties, including any Ancillary Agreement.
Section 7.8    Materiality. For purposes of Tax Claims subject to Section 6.5 and of this Article VII, no effect shall be given to any qualification in the relevant representations and

178



warranties as to “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party, but all such qualifications shall be given effect for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty.
Section 7.9    Mitigation; Other Limitations.
(a)    Each of Seller Parent, Purchaser Parent, Purchaser and each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Tax or Loss upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations to indemnify under this Agreement, and the amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 7.1, shall be subject to the following limitations:
(i)    With respect to any Remedial Action, the applicable Indemnifying Party shall only be liable to the extent such Remedial Action is conducted in the Most Cost-Effective Manner. Regardless of whether any Indemnifying Party or any Indemnified Party conducts any such Remedial Action, the applicable Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for any operation and maintenance with respect to any such institutional or engineering controls subsequent to completion of their initial installation at the applicable Real Property or Purchaser Real Property subject to such Remedial Action, and such post-installation costs shall not be subject to claims for indemnification or reimbursement under this Article VII.
(ii)    With respect to any particular Environmental Liability, an Indemnifying Party’s obligations for indemnification or reimbursement in respect of such Environmental Liability, shall be deemed satisfied, completed and fully discharged upon the relevant Remediation Completion Date, and the Indemnifying Party shall no longer be responsible for ongoing obligations and Liabilities with respect to such Environmental Liabilities to the extent related to the Real Property (or Facilities thereon) or Purchaser Real Property (or Purchaser Facilities thereon), including the operation and maintenance of any institutional and engineering controls.
(iii)    An Indemnifying Party shall not have any indemnification obligations for Losses relating to any Environmental Liabilities to the extent such Losses relate to, result from, or arise out of any (1) exacerbation of an existing condition due to a negligent or intentional act or omission by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, (2) environmental investigation, drilling, sampling, testing or monitoring of any soil, surface water or groundwater, by or on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, after the Closing Date (except to the extent required by Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or a Governmental Authority; conducted in response to facts or conditions potentially indicating a material risk to health or the environment; conducted in connection with defending

179



against or otherwise responding to a Third Party Claim; conducted to comply with the requirements of any Real Property Lease or Purchaser Real Property Lease; reasonably and independently requested in writing by a third party in connection with a sale, lease, sublease, financing, mortgage or other transaction involving any Real Property, Purchaser Real Property, Facility or Purchaser Facility as part of the third party’s normal business practices; or conducted consistent with industry practice in connection with the ordinary course of business and the Indemnified Party’s bona fide construction, renovation, demolition, removal, repair or expansion of improvements at any Real Property, Purchaser Real Property, Facility or Purchaser Facility); or (3) decommissioning, closure or voluntary shutdown of any Real Property, Purchaser Real Property, Facility or Purchaser Facility by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall any Party be entitled to duplicative recovery directly or indirectly for the same Loss, including, in the case of either Parent (or any of their respective Subsidiaries), in their respective capacities as direct or indirect equity holders of Purchaser post-Closing; it being understood that to the extent a Loss is suffered in the applicable Parent’s (or any of its respective Subsidiaries’) capacity as direct or indirect equity holders of Purchaser post-Closing, the Purchaser Parent Indemnified Parties and the Seller Parent Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall only be entitled to directly seek indemnification or recover for such Loss under Section 7.1(a)(ii) or Section 7.1(a)(iii) (in the case of the Purchaser Parent Indemnified Parties) or under Section 7.1(b)(ii) or Section 7.1(b)(iii) (in the case of the Seller Parent Indemnified Parties) to the extent such Loss cannot be remedied by means of an indemnification claim or recovery by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries under Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b), respectively.
Section 7.10    Sole Remedy/Waiver. Except with respect to claims seeking specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to covenants or agreements to be performed after the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, and except in the case of fraud with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in Section 2.9, Section 6.5 and this Article VII shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy, from and after the Closing, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Implementing Agreements (but not with respect to any claims under the other Ancillary Agreements, which shall be governed by the terms thereof). In furtherance of the foregoing, and except as set forth in the exceptions set forth in the preceding sentence and except as provided in Section 2.9, Section 6.5 and this Article VII, from and after the Closing, the Parties hereby waive, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contribution, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that they may have against the Sellers or any of their Affiliates, or Purchaser Parent or any of its Affiliates (including Purchaser and its Subsidiaries), as the case may be, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Implementing Agreements (but not with respect to any rights, claims or causes of action under the other Ancillary Agreements which, in each case, shall be governed by the terms thereof), whether arising under or based upon breach of warranty or contract (including for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or

180



agreement), tortious conduct (including negligence), any Law (including any such Law relating to environmental matters (including Environmental Laws) or arising under or based upon any securities Law, common law or otherwise) or otherwise. Each Party shall cause its respective Affiliates party to an Ancillary Implementing Agreement not to assert any claims or causes of action under such Ancillary Implementing Agreement, and all such claims shall be asserted only under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any Party, its Affiliates, successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
Section 7.11    Indemnification Payments. A Party shall not be deemed to have suffered a Loss or Tax with respect to an item to the extent such Party was actually compensated therefor by reason of an increase in the amount otherwise paid to it or a reduction in the amount otherwise paid by it pursuant to Section 2.9.

(a)    In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Parties, and, except as set forth in this Section 9.2, this Agreement shall terminate and be void and have no effect and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned, without any liability or obligation on the part of any Party or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers or employees; provided that if such termination shall result from (i) the Intentional Breach by a Party of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement in this Agreement, or (ii) fraud with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, such Party shall be fully liable to the other Parties for any and all damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), losses or liabilities of any nature and kind incurred or suffered by the other Parties or their Affiliates as a result of such Intentional Breach or fraud. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall relieve any Party from reimbursement of the costs and expenses (and, as applicable, indemnification obligations) of any other Party and its Affiliates pursuant to any provision of this Agreement that, by its express terms, requires reimbursement, indemnification or similar obligations by such Party. In the event of termination of this Agreement prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 9.1, the Parties shall, and

184



shall cause their applicable Affiliates to, take all action necessary to terminate any Ancillary Agreements, including any Local Implementing Agreements, entered into as of or prior to such time.
(b)    Without limiting Section 9.2(a), in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to (i) Section 9.1(b) (if and only if terminated at a time when the Purchaser Parent Shareholder Approval has not been obtained), (ii) Section 9.1(f) or (iii) Section 9.1(g), Purchaser Parent shall pay to Seller Parent, by way of compensation, $900,000,000 (the “Purchaser Parent Termination Fee”) within one (1) Business Day after the date of the termination of this Agreement by Seller Parent and, in the event of a termination by Purchaser Parent, concurrently with, and as a condition precedent to, the termination of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller Parent; provided that Purchaser Parent shall not be required to pay the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Purchaser Parent acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.2(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Seller Parent would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Purchaser Parent fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 9.2(b), Purchaser Parent shall also pay any reasonable and documented costs, fees and expenses incurred by Seller Parent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment for such amount or any portion thereof against Purchaser Parent or its Affiliates. Any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Section 9.2(b) shall bear interest from the date such amount is due until the date paid at a rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such amount is due, plus three percent (3%). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the event of (i) an Intentional Breach by Purchaser Parent or Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement in this Agreement or (ii) Purchaser Parent’s or Purchaser’s fraud with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated in circumstances requiring the payment of the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee to Seller Parent, the payment in full of the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee by Purchaser Parent to Seller Parent, together with any interest, costs, fees or expenses payable, in each case in accordance with this ‎Section 9.2(b), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller Parent and all of its Affiliates against Purchaser Parent and its Affiliates, and upon such payment, except in the event of such an Intentional Breach or fraud, none of Purchaser Parent or any of its Affiliates shall have any further liability or obligation (whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) to Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers and employees or other Representatives, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(c)    Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the following Sections of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect: Section 6.1(b) (Information and Documents), Section 9.1 (Termination), Section 9.2 (Effect of Termination) and Article X (Miscellaneous).
(d)    If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.1, the Confidentiality Agreement and Clean Team Agreement shall each remain in full force and effect for the term provided for therein; except that Seller Parent and Purchaser Parent agree that the term

185



of the Confidentiality Agreement (including the employee non-solicitation prohibition therein) shall be extended (if a shorter term would otherwise remain) to a period of two (2) years from the date of such termination and this Agreement shall be the requisite mutual written consent amending such Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 10.2    Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
Section 10.3    Assignment. (a) No Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including by sale of stock, operation of Law in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party, without the prior written consent of the other Parties.
(a)    Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 6.5(f), Purchaser shall be entitled to designate one or more of its Affiliates that are directly or indirectly wholly owned by Purchaser (each, a “Purchaser Designated Affiliate”) to be the purchaser or transferee of some or all of the Shares or the other Purchased Assets and be the entity assuming some or all of the Assumed Liabilities (and to be a counterparty to one or more of the Ancillary Agreements), provided that no such designation (i) shall release Purchaser from its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) would reasonably be expected to restrict or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements in any material respect. Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay or reimburse the Sellers for any Taxes and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses to the extent arising out of or resulting from the substitution of a Purchaser Designated Affiliate

187



(other than a Purchaser Designated Affiliate organized under the Laws of or Tax resident in the United States or the United Kingdom) for Purchaser as the purchaser or transferee of any of the Shares or the other Purchased Assets, or as the entity assuming some or all of the Assumed Liabilities, or as a counterparty to one or more of the Ancillary Agreements, in accordance with this Section 10.3(b), in each case other than (1) any such Taxes, costs or expenses arising out of or resulting from a substitution requested by a Seller or required by applicable Law or (2) to the extent the applicable Seller is entitled to a refund, credit or offset in respect of such Taxes from any Taxing Authority.
Section 10.4    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Seller Disclosure Letter, the Purchaser Parent Disclosure Letter and all Annexes and Exhibits) contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, except for (i) the Confidentiality Agreement and the Clean Team Agreement which shall each remain in full force and effect and (ii) the Ancillary Agreements and any other written agreement of the Parties that expressly provides that it is not superseded by this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Ancillary Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in any Ancillary Agreement.
Section 10.5    Parties in Interest. Except with respect to (i) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the Purchaser Parent Indemnified Parties and the Seller Parent Indemnified Parties solely with respect to Article VII and (ii) the Persons entitled to indemnification under Section 6.5(d) solely with respect to Section 6.5(d) or, in each case, as expressly set forth herein (including Section 6.21), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Purchaser Parent, Purchaser, the Sellers, or their permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 10.6    Public Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party agrees that, except (x) subject to Section 6.24(f) and Section 6.24(g), in making a Purchaser Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or (y) as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Laws, and the rules and regulations of each stock exchange upon which the securities of either of the Parties are listed (in which case the disclosing Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) advise the other Party before making such disclosure and (b) provide such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such release or announcement and consider in good faith any comments with respect thereto), no press release or similar public announcement or communication shall, if prior to the Closing, be made or caused to be made by the Parties or their Affiliates concerning the execution or performance of this Agreement unless the Parties shall have consulted in advance with respect thereto.
Section 10.7    Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the Party incurring such costs and expenses.
Section 10.8    Disclosure Letters; Disclosures Modifying Other Sections of Agreement. The Seller Disclosure Letter and the Purchaser Parent Disclosure Letter, and all

188



schedules attached thereto, and all Annexes and Exhibits attached to this Agreement, shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Annex, Exhibit or Schedule or in the Seller Disclosure Letter or Purchaser Parent Disclosure Letter but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement. Any information, item or other disclosure set forth in any Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Purchaser Parent Disclosure Letter, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to any other Section of this Agreement (or to have been set forth in any other Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Purchaser Parent Disclosure Letter, as the case may be), if the relevance of such disclosure to such other Section is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure notwithstanding the omission of a reference or a cross-reference with respect thereto and notwithstanding any reference to a Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter or Purchaser Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable, in such Section of this Agreement. The disclosure of any matter in any Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Purchaser Parent Disclosure Letter shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by any Party, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for purposes of this Agreement.
Section 10.9    No Admission. Nothing in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or in any Section of the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Purchaser Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed an admission by any Party or any of their respective Affiliates (including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries), in any Action by or on behalf of or with a Governmental Authority or other third party, that any such Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or that such third party or any of its respective Affiliates, is or is not violating or in contravention or breach of or default under, as applicable, any Law, Governmental Authorization, Contract or Intellectual Property of any other Person.
Section 10.10    Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
(a)    This Agreement (and any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement) shall be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.
(b)    Any Action relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if for any reason the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any New York State court sitting in New York City, and each Party irrevocably (i) agrees and consents to be subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if for any reason the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any New York State court sitting in New York City and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of such Action brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Action has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Action, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such Party. Each of Purchaser Parent and Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers GSK plc, with offices located at 980 Great West Road, Brentford Middlesex TW8 9GS, England, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf service of any legal process, summons notices and documents

189



which may be served in any such Action. If for any reason GSK plc is unable or unwilling to continue to act as such designee, appointee and agent, each of Purchaser Parent and Purchaser agrees to immediately appoint a successor designee, appointee and agent in New York City acceptable to Seller Parent. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 10.1, OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO SERVICE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.
(c)    THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THEY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE TO CAUSE THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES TO WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE OR INTERPRET THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 10.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic .pdf submission), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (by telecopy or otherwise) to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.
Section 10.12    Headings. The heading references herein and the table of contents hereto are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
Section 10.13    Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.14    Rules of Construction. The Parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, therefore, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
Section 10.15    Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law (i) for any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms.

190



It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including Section 6.3) and any other agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith, without proof of actual damages, and each Party further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. The Parties further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.15, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement, including monetary damages (or the right to reimbursement of its costs and expenses relating to any enforcement actions hereunder) and (y) nothing contained in this Section 10.15 shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.15 before exercising any termination right under Section 9.1 (and pursuing damages after such termination) nor shall the commencement of any action pursuant to this Section 10.15 or anything contained in this Section 10.15 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall any Seller be permitted to receive both (1) a grant of specific performance to require Purchaser or Purchaser Parent to consummate, and that results in the consummation of, the Closing and (2) payment of the Purchaser Parent Termination Fee.
Section 10.16    Affiliate Status. To the extent that a Party is required hereunder to take certain action with respect to entities designated in this Agreement as such Party’s Affiliates, such obligation shall apply to such entities only during such period of time that such entities are Affiliates of such Party. To the extent that this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement requires an Affiliate of any Party to take or omit to take any action, such agreement and obligation includes the obligation of such Party to cause such Affiliate to take or omit to take such action.
Section 10.17    Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation; Nonassertion of Attorney-Client Privilege.
(a)    Each of Purchaser Parent and Purchaser waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, to waive and not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing (the “Seller Post-Closing Representation”), of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates, or any shareholder, officer, employee or director of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (any such Person, a “Seller Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, by any legal counsel currently representing any Seller Designated Person in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz (any such representation, the “Seller Current Representation”).

191



(b)    Seller Parent waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive and not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing (the “Purchaser Post-Closing Representation”), of Purchaser Parent or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or any shareholder, officer, employee or director of Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (any such Person, a “Purchaser Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, by any legal counsel currently representing any Purchaser Designated Person in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Slaughter and May (any such representation, the “Purchaser Current Representation”).
(c)    Each of Purchaser Parent and Purchaser waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, to waive and not assert, any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection with respect to any communication between any legal counsel and any Seller Designated Person occurring during the Seller Current Representation (the “Seller Privileged Communications”) or in connection with any Seller Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute with Purchaser Parent or Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, any Conveyed Subsidiary or any of their Subsidiaries), including in respect of any claim for indemnification hereunder by a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Purchaser Parent Indemnified Party, it being the intention of the Parties that all such rights to such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection and to control such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection shall be retained by the Sellers and their Affiliates and that the Sellers, and not Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or their Affiliates or the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, shall have the sole right to decide whether or not to waive any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection. Accordingly, from and after Closing, none of Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or their Affiliates, including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, shall have any access to any such communications or to the files of the Seller Current Representation, all of which shall be and remain the property of the Sellers and not of Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or their Affiliates, including the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, or to internal counsel relating to such engagement, and none of Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or their Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, or any Person acting or purporting to act on their behalf shall seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege and protection attaching to such communications and files belongs to Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or their Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, or does not belong to the Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or their Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Conveyed Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Sellers or their Affiliates, on the other hand, Sellers shall not disclose any such Seller Privileged Communications to such third party without the prior written consent of Purchaser unless required to do so by applicable Law or Governmental Order.
(d)    Seller Parent waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates, to waive and not assert, any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection with respect to any communication between any legal counsel and any Purchaser Designated Person occurring

192



during the Purchaser Current Representation (the “Purchaser Privileged Communications”) or in connection with any Purchaser Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute with Seller Parent or its Affiliates, including in respect of any claim for indemnification hereunder by a Seller Parent Indemnified Party, it being the intention of the Parties that all such rights to such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection and to control such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection shall be retained by Purchaser Parent and its Affiliates (other than Purchaser) and that Purchaser Parent, and not Seller Parent or Purchaser, shall have the sole right to decide whether or not to waive any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection. Accordingly, from and after Closing, none of Seller Parent or Purchaser shall have any access to any such communications or to the files of the Purchaser Current Representation, all of which shall be and remain the property of Purchaser Parent and not of Seller Parent or its Affiliates or Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or to internal counsel relating to such engagement, and none of Seller Parent or its Affiliates or Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or any Person acting or purporting to act on their behalf shall seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege and protection attaching to such communications and files belongs to Seller Parent or its Affiliates or Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or does not belong to the Purchaser Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Seller Parent or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party other than Purchaser Parent, Purchaser or their Affiliates, on the other hand, Purchaser Parent shall not disclose any such Purchaser Privileged Communications to such third party without the prior written consent of Seller Parent unless required to do so by applicable Law or Governmental Order.
Section 10.18    Translation of Currencies. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Seller Parent and Purchaser Parent, all payments to be made under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in Pound sterling. Except with respect to the determinations set forth in the following sentence, and except to the extent otherwise provided in the Accounting Principles or Purchaser Accounting Principles with respect to the determinations of amounts included in the calculations of Business Working Capital, Business Net Cash, Purchaser Working Capital or Purchaser Net Cash, as applicable, in the event that the Parties need to convert currencies under this Agreement, the relevant exchange rate shall be determined based on the Bloomberg BFIX rate in effect as of 5:00 p.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days preceding the applicable determination date as published on Bloomberg.com. In the event that any Person needs to convert currencies for purposes of calculating the amount of any claim under Section 6.5(d) or Article VII, the relevant exchange rate shall be determined based on the Bloomberg BFIX rate in effect as of 5:00 pm (New York time) two (2) Business Days preceding the date of the written notice given for such claim under Section 6.5(d) or under Section 7.3, as applicable, as published on Bloomberg.com.
