(x) all Liabilities for Taxes arising out of or relating to the ownership of the Business or the Purchased Assets in any taxable period, or a portion thereof, ending on or prior to the Closing Date.
Section 2.6 Purchase Price. In consideration of the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets, Products Purchaser and Inventory Purchaser agree to pay to Seller amounts determined in accordance with Section 2.8, representing an aggregate amount of Three Hundred and Forty-Five million dollars ($345,000,000) (the "Purchase Price"), exclusive of any Transfer Taxes, and to assume, satisfy and discharge all Assumed Liabilities. The Purchase Price shall be paid in immediately available funds by wire transfer, in accordance with written instructions given by Seller to Purchasers not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Purchase Price shall be subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 2.7 and shall be allocated as described in Section 2.8.
Section 2.7 Purchase Price Adjustment. (a) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Inventory Purchaser an unaudited statement of its good faith estimate of the Inventories as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with GAAP and the agreed price per unit set forth on Schedule 2.1(b) (the "Inventories Statement"). For purposes of determining the Inventories Statement only, any Inventory that is determined by Seller or Inventory Purchaser to be Damaged Inventory shall be disregarded; provided, however, that Inventory Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly in writing, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days immediately following the Closing Date, of any such Inventory that Inventory Purchaser deems to be Damaged Inventory in accordance with this Section 2.7(a) and describing with specificity the SKU and batch, the reason such Inventory is considered Damaged Inventory and such other information as reasonably requested by Seller. The failure by Inventory Purchaser to provide such notice to Seller within such forty-five (45) day period shall constitute Inventory Purchaser's acceptance of all the items reflected on the Inventories Statement as Inventory that is not Damaged Inventory. For purposes of Section 2.7(c), any such notice shall be deemed a
12
"Disputed Item" and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.7(c). Inventory Purchaser and Seller shall provide the other and its representatives (including accountants), and any Person designated by Seller in writing, with reasonable access during regular business hours to the Inventories and such books and records of the Business constituting Purchased Assets as may be reasonably requested to facilitate the preparation of the Inventories Statement and the calculation of Final Inventories.
(b) During the sixty (60) day period following Inventory Purchaser's receipt of the Inventories Statement, Inventory Purchaser shall be permitted to review the working papers of Seller relating to the Inventories Statement. Inventory Purchaser may dispute the amounts or items reflected on or omitted from the Inventories Statement (each, a "Disputed Item") in good faith; provided, however, that Inventory Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of each Disputed Item, and specify the amount thereof in dispute and the specific basis therefor, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Inventories Statement. The failure by Inventory Purchaser to provide a notice of Disputed Items to Seller within such sixty (60) day period shall constitute Inventory Purchaser's acceptance of all the items reflected on the Inventories Statement.
(c) If a notice of Disputed Items shall be timely delivered pursuant to Section 2.7(a) or (b), Seller and Inventory Purchaser shall, during the twenty (20) Business Day period immediately following the date of such delivery (the "Resolution Period"), negotiate to resolve the Disputed Items. If, during the Resolution Period, the Parties are unable to reach agreement, Seller and Inventory Purchaser shall refer all unresolved Disputed Items to an independent, nationally-recognized accounting firm as Seller and Inventory Purchaser shall mutually agree upon in writing (the "Independent Accountant"), or, in the case of a Disputed Item under Section 2.7(a), to the Arbitrator pursuant to Section 10.11. If the parties fail to agree on an Independent Accountant (if applicable) within twenty (20) days after the expiration of the Resolution Period, on the request of any party the American Arbitration Association shall nominate a senior partner in an independent nationally recognized accounting firm to serve as the Independent Accountant. Such referral shall be made within ten (10) Business Days of termination of the Resolution Period, whereupon the Independent Accountant or Arbitrator, as the case may be, shall make a determination with respect to each unresolved Disputed Item within thirty (30) days after such referral, or as soon thereafter as practicable, which determination shall be made in accordance with this Section 2.7; provided, that in making such determination, the Independent Accountant or Arbitrator, as the case may be, shall be limited to choosing between the calculation of Inventories last proposed in writing by Seller during the Resolution Period (or, in the absence of any such proposal, the calculation of Inventories set forth on the Inventories Statement initially delivered by Seller pursuant to this Section 2.7), on the one hand, and the calculation of Inventories last proposed in writing by Purchasers during the Resolution Period (or, in the absence of any such proposal, the calculation of Inventories set forth in Purchasers' dispute notice) on the other hand. The Independent Accountant or Arbitrator, as the case may be, shall deliver to Seller and Inventory Purchaser, within such thirty (30) day period, or as soon thereafter as practicable, a report setting forth its adjustments, if any, to the Inventories Statement and the calculations supporting such adjustments. Such report shall be final and binding on the Parties and non-appealable and conclusive in all respects and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant and/or Arbitrator shall be borne by the Party whose calculation of Inventories is not accepted by the Independent Accountant or Arbitrator, as the case may be, which fees and expenses shall be paid (taking into account any prior payments) at the time the payment contemplated by Section 2.7(d) is made. For purposes of clarity, such costs do not include any adjustments determined by the Independent Accountant or Arbitrator hereunder. As used herein, "Final Inventories" shall mean (i) if no notice of Disputed Items is delivered by Inventory Purchaser within the periods provided in Sections 2.7(a) or (b), Inventories as shown on the Inventories Statement as prepared by Seller or (ii) if such a notice of Disputed Items is delivered by Inventory Purchaser, either (x) Inventories as agreed to in writing by Seller and Inventory Purchaser or (y) Inventories as shown in the Independent Accountant's and/or the Arbitrator's calculation delivered pursuant to this Section 2.7(c). The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accountant or Arbitrator, as the case may be, shall be limited to the unresolved Disputed Items, and the Independent Accountant or Arbitrator, as the case may be, shall not make any other determination. Any determinations by either of the Independent Accountant or Arbitrator, respectively, and any work or analyses performed by either of the Independent Accountant or Arbitrator, respectively, in connection with its resolution of any Dispute under this Section 2.7, shall not be admissible in evidence in any suit, action or proceeding between the Parties, other than to the extent necessary to enforce payment obligations under this Section 2.7(c).
13
(d) If the Final Inventories are less than ***, then Seller shall, within ten (10) days after the determination of the Final Inventories, pay to Inventory Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with written instructions given to Seller by Inventory Purchaser, the amount of such shortfall. If the Final Inventories are greater than ***, then Purchasers shall, within ten (10) days after the determination of the Final Inventories, pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with written instructions given by Seller to Inventory Purchaser, the amount of such excess.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, during the sixty (60) day period following Inventory Purchaser's receipt of the Inventories Statement, Inventory Purchaser discovers any latent defect in respect of any Inventories, Inventory Purchaser may submit a Disputed Item in respect of such latent defect to Seller subject to the process set forth in Section 2.7(b) and Section 2.7(c), and be entitled to an adjustment to amounts previously paid consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.7(d), in each case mutatis mutandis.
(f) All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
Section 2.8 Allocation of Purchase Price. (a) The Parties agree that the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets on or after the Closing Date in the manner specified in Schedule 2.8(a), as mutually agreed to by the Parties (the "Allocation"). Such Allocation shall be made in accordance with the principles of section 1060 of the Code. In the event of any adjustment in the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.7, such adjustment shall be allocated by the Parties among the Purchased Assets in accordance with the principles of section 1060 of the Code, Schedule 2.8(a) and as mutually agreed to by the Parties, and such revised allocation shall be the Allocation. The Parties each agree to (i) be bound by the Allocation, (ii) act in accordance with the Allocation in the preparation of financial statements and filing of all Tax Returns (including filing Form 8594 with its federal income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date) and (iii) take no position inconsistent with the Allocation for all Tax purposes.
(b) In the event that any Taxing Authority disputes the Allocation, Seller, Inventory Purchaser or Products Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of the nature of such dispute.
Section 2.9 Taxes. (a) All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by Purchasers. Purchasers and Seller shall cooperate in timely making all Tax Returns as may be required to comply with the provisions of such Transfer Tax laws.
(b) All personal property Taxes and assessments on the Purchased Assets for any taxable period commencing prior to the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date shall be prorated on a per diem basis between Purchasers and Seller as of the Closing Date. The amount of all such prorations payable by the Party that is not required to pay such Tax under applicable Law shall be paid to the Party required to pay such Tax under applicable Law on the Closing Date and such amount shall be remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority as soon as practicable thereafter; provided, however, that final payments with respect to prorations that are not able to be calculated as of the Closing Date shall be calculated and paid as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.
(c) Each Party shall cooperate and otherwise take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any exemptions for or refunds of such Transfer Taxes or property Taxes and to minimize any such Transfer Taxes or property Taxes.
Section 2.10 ***. During the period from the date hereof through the date that is *** after the Closing Date, Purchasers shall enter into negotiations with the Seller for a transaction or transactions involving the acquisition by the Purchasers of assets substantially similar to the Purchased Assets relating to the business of developing, commercializing, manufacturing, packaging, marketing, distributing and selling the Products in *** and/or ***. Seller shall provide such diligence information as is reasonably requested by Purchaser and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith with each other with a goal, but without any obligation, of entering into a definitive agreement prior to the end of such period. During the period from the date hereof through the date that is *** after the Closing Date, Seller shall not negotiate with or otherwise discuss with another Person any acquisition, exclusive license or other similar arrangement for the Products in ***or ***. Such exclusivity period may be extended on mutual agreement of the Parties.
14
Section 2.11 Risk of Loss. Prior to the Closing, any loss or damage to the Purchased Assets from fire, casualty or otherwise shall be the sole responsibility of Seller. Thereafter, any such loss or damage shall be the sole responsibility of Purchasers.
Section 2.12 Transferred Domain Names. Notwithstanding any other term or condition set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, at the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Divesting Entities to, sell, convey, assign and transfer to Purchaser "as is" and "where is", and Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from Seller and such Divesting Entities any right, title and interest that Seller and such Divesting Entities have in, to and under the Transferred Domain Names set forth on Schedule 1.1(e) in the Territory as of the Closing. Seller and the Divesting Entities shall maintain the Transferred Domain Names after the Closing until the transfer of the Transferred Domain Names is effective, provided that such period shall not exceed ***. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause the Divesting Entities to obtain, the consent of any other Person to the extent necessary to allow Purchaser to sell and transfer any of the Transferred Domain Names. Purchaser agrees that no representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition to Purchaser's obligations to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed not satisfied, solely as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any such consent or (ii) any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person to the extent arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent. Notwithstanding the above, Seller shall, and shall cause the Divesting Entities to, provide reasonable assistance to the Purchasers, on request, to effect the assignment or transfer of such Transferred Domain Names, including by making any necessary filings with the applicable Governmental Authorities.

(c) Any notification of matters, facts or events delivered in any Seller notice pursuant to this Section 7.14 that do not rise to the level to permit Purchasers to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(iii) shall not permit the delivery of a Disclosure Supplement by Seller and shall not limit otherwise existing indemnification rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties.
(d) As of the Closing, if Purchasers shall have waived their rights to terminate this Agreement with respect to a Termination Right Notice and Disclosure Supplement, then the Schedules shall thereupon be deemed to be amended by such Disclosure Supplement and the Purchasers and all Indemnified Parties that are Affiliates of Purchasers shall be deemed to have waived any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article VIII of this Agreement based on any breach of representation or warranty that would have otherwise existed in the absence of such disclosure solely for the portion of any Subsequent Event disclosed in such Disclosure Supplement; provided, that in the event Purchasers following the Closing become aware of any additional material information that demonstrates that such Termination Right Notice and Disclosure Supplement was materially inaccurate as of the time when it was made, then the Schedules shall thereupon be deemed not to have been amended by such Disclosure Supplement and none of the Purchasers nor any Indemnified Parties shall have been deemed to waive any claim for indemnification they may have against Seller for the portion of any such Subsequent Event disclosed in such Disclosure Supplement.

(3) To the extent that information related to Commercial Rebates is received with respect to the calendar quarter that includes the Commercial Rebate Tail Period following the end of such calendar quarter, and such information does not include a dispense date, (A) Seller shall be responsible for the amount of such Commercial Rebates which shall be equal to the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the number of days in such calendar quarter represented by the Commercial Rebate Tail Period plus the number of days in such calendar quarter prior to, and including, the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in such calendar quarter, and (y) the amount of the Commercial Rebate and (B) Purchasers shall be responsible for the amount of such Commercial Rebates which shall be equal to the product of (x) one (1) minus the fraction determined pursuant to clause (A) above and (y) the amount of the Commercial Rebate.

If the Responsible Party provides such notice to the Non-Responsible Party within such 15-day period then the Responsible Party shall promptly initiate a dispute of such invoice at its sole cost and expense and shall be liable for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) of the Non-Responsible Party required to prosecute the disputed invoice. In the event that an invoice is disputed under this Section 7.16(d)(ii) by the Responsible Party, the Non-Responsible Party shall not remit payment in respect of such invoice without the Responsible Party's prior written consent; provided that any late fees, interest or other penalties that are ultimately owing due to delayed payment on such invoice shall be satisfied by the Responsible Party and provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Non-Responsible Party may, in its sole discretion, pay any such disputed invoice without the consent of the Responsible Party, but in such case the Non-Responsible Party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Responsible Party only with respect to amounts if any, that are finally owing following settlement of the related dispute.
(iii) Subject to Section 7.16(d)(ii), to the extent a Non-Responsible Party remits payment in respect of Commercial Rebates which are payable by the Responsible Party, the Responsible Party shall

reimburse the Non-Responsible Party on or before the date that is thirty (30) days following receipt of such invoices by such Non-Responsible Party, provided that such invoices describe in reasonable detail the payments made by such Non-Responsible Party.

The date on which Products shall be deemed to have been sold pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be the date on which it was shipped by the applicable wholesaler. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the VA National Acquisition Center must approve the removal of Products from Seller's Federal Supply Schedule before the responsibility of processing such claims is transferred from Seller to Purchasers. Until such approval is obtained, Seller shall continue to be responsible for processing the Federal Supply Schedule Chargeback Claims on Purchasers' behalf, and Purchasers shall reimburse Seller for same. Purchasers and Seller agree that (A) Seller's financial liability for the Chargeback Claims shall be limited to those commercial customers with which Seller has chargeback obligations as of the Closing Date, and (B) any such chargebacks issued by Seller shall be made in accordance with terms and conditions of Seller's obligations as of the Closing Date with respect to each customer and shall be solely based on the terms and conditions of Seller's agreements with the respective customer, as such terms and conditions existed as of the Closing Date. Seller shall utilize records from third party rebate administrators to demonstrate which chargebacks relate to Products sold by the wholesaler or distributor, as evidenced in the invoice date within the Chargeback Claims, prior to or during the *** period following the Closing Date for purposes of determining Seller's obligation.
(ii) If a Non-Responsible Party receives a Chargeback Claim that is the responsibility of the Responsible Party, such Non-Responsible Party shall promptly provide a copy of such Chargeback Claim to the Responsible Party and such Responsible Party shall have fifteen (15) days following receipt of such Chargeback Claim to notify the Non-Responsible Party that it intends to dispute such invoice.

In the event that a Chargeback Claim is disputed under this Section 1.1(e)(ii) by the Responsible Party, the Non-Responsible Party shall not remit payment in respect of such Chargeback Claim without the Responsible Party's prior written consent; provided, that any late fees, interest or other penalties that are ultimately owing due to delayed payment on such Chargeback Claim shall be satisfied by the Responsible Party and provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Non-Responsible Party may, in its sole discretion, pay any such disputed Chargeback Claim without the consent of the Responsible Party, but in such case the Non-Responsible Party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Responsible Party only with respect to amounts if any, that are finally owing following settlement of the related dispute.
35
(iii) Subject to Section 1.1(e)(ii), to the extent a Non-Responsible Party processes Chargeback Claims which are the responsibility of Responsible Party, the Responsible Party shall reimburse the Non-Responsible Party on or before the date that is thirty (30) days following receipt of such invoices by such Non-Responsible Party, provided, that such invoices describe in reasonable detail the payments made by such Non-Responsible Party.

Section 7.17 Correspondence. From and after the Closing, (i) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Purchasers any mail or other communications received by Seller or its Affiliates from any Person (including the FDA) intended for the Business (including any mail or other communications in respect of the Products, the subject matter of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements) and (ii) Purchasers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Seller any mail or other communications received by Purchasers or their Affiliates intended for Seller or its Affiliates and not related to the Business. The provisions of this Section 7.17 are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, constitute an authorization by Seller or Purchasers to permit the other to accept service of process on its or their behalf and neither Seller nor Purchasers are or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for service of process purposes.
Section 7.18 Assistance with Financial Reporting. During the *** period immediately succeeding the date hereof, upon reasonable written notice, the Seller shall, and shall cause each of the Divesting Entities to, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Purchasers, during normal business hours, provided that such access shall not unreasonably disrupt personnel, operations and properties of the Seller and the Divesting Entities, such information, the properties, assets, books, records, agreements, documents, data, files and personnel of, and such other information relating solely to, the Business and assistance relating to the Business, the Seller and the Divesting Entities as is necessary for any reasonable purpose relating the Business, including financial reporting (including with respect to any Report on Form 8-K, business acquisition report or other filing required in connection with this transaction) and accounting matters.

Section 8.2 Indemnification by Purchasers.

Section 8.3 Notice of Claims. If any of the Persons to be indemnified under this Article VIII (the "Indemnified Party") has suffered or incurred any Loss, the Indemnified Party shall so notify the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly in writing, describing such Loss, the amount or estimated amount thereof, if known or reasonably capable of estimation, and the method of computation of such Loss, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant hereto in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. If any claim, action, suit or proceeding (in equity or at law) is instituted by a third party with respect to which the Indemnified Party intends to claim any Loss under this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify (the "Third Party Claim Notice") the Indemnifying Party of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and offer to tender to the Indemnifying Party the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice and to offer to tender the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, except (i) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby or (ii) as provided in Section 8.5.
Section 8.4 Third Party Claims. (a) The Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Third Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, to assume the conduct and control, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and through counsel of its choosing that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any third party claim, action, suit or proceeding (a "Third Party Claim"), and the Indemnifying Party may compromise or settle the same; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party advance written notice of any proposed compromise or settlement and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to or enter into any compromise or settlement that commits the Indemnified Party, to take, or to forbear to take, any action or does not provide for a full and complete written release by the applicable third party of the Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party may compromise or settle any Third Party Claim for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnifying Party may consent to the entry of any judgment that does not relate solely to monetary damages arising from any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such Third Party Claim through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided, that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party.

For purposes of determining the amount of any such Loss (but not for determining the existence of any breach, misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect to any representation or warranty of Seller or any Divesting Entity), any qualification as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect set forth in any such representation or warranty shall be disregarded.
Section 8.7 Losses Net of Insurance, Etc. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 shall be net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party and (ii) any insurance proceeds actually received as an offset against such Loss. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII, 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 this Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment. The Indemnifying Party may require, as a condition to the provision of indemnification hereunder, that the Indemnified Party execute an undertaking consistent with its obligations set forth in this Section 8.7. All payments made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the purchase price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
Section 8.8 Sole Remedy/Waiver.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE OTHER PARTY FOR LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS OR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR MULTIPLIED DAMAGES THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OR THEREOF OR ANY LIABILITY RETAINED OR ASSUMED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE ACTUALLY PAID TO A THIRD PARTY PURSUANT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM.
