(h) All Benefit Plans maintained outside of the United States (such plans hereinafter being referred to as “Non-U.S. Benefit Plans”) are in compliance with the applicable Laws of the relevant jurisdiction (including any local regulatory or tax approval requirements) and with their terms, except as is not and would not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Business (taken as a whole). All material Non-U.S. Benefit Plans are listed on Section 3.11(h) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. As of the date hereof, there is no pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened material litigation relating to Non-U.S. Benefit Plans, except as is not and would not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Business (taken as a whole).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2(a), in the event that Seller, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives is required or requested to disclose any Business Confidential Information during the Confidentiality Period by Law or to a Governmental Entity or otherwise in connection with compliance, Tax or regulatory activity, then any of the foregoing Persons shall notify Purchaser as promptly as practicable and permissible of such request or requirement so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.2(a). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Person, on the advice of its outside legal counsel, is compelled to disclose any Business Confidential Information, such Person may disclose only that portion of such Business Confidential Information to which it is advised by its counsel to disclose and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the recipient thereof to keep such information confidential.

(b) During the Confidentiality Period, Purchaser shall (and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives who have received Seller Confidential Information to) (i) treat and hold as confidential all confidential or proprietary information related to Seller or any of its Affiliates delivered to Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives (whether before or after the date hereof (other than Business Confidential Information) (the “Seller Confidential Information”) and (ii) refrain from using or disclosing any of the Seller Confidential Information except as provided or otherwise permitted under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or in connection with any dispute or Action arising in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that none of the following shall be deemed to be Seller Confidential Information: (A) information that is generally available to or known by the public (other than through disclosure by Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Section 5.2(b)); (B) information that is acquired by Purchaser, any of its respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives after the Closing from a source which, to the actual knowledge of such Persons, is not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual, fiduciary or similar obligation; or (C) information that is independently derived, developed or acquired by Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives after the Closing without reference to or use of information subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Section 5.2(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2(b), in the event that Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives is required or requested to disclose any Seller Confidential Information during the Confidentiality Period by Law or to a Governmental Entity or otherwise in connection with compliance, Tax or regulatory activity, then any of the foregoing Persons shall notify Seller as promptly as practicable and permissible of such request or requirement so that Seller may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.2(b). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Person, on the advice of its outside legal counsel, is compelled to disclose any Seller Confidential Information, such Person may disclose only that portion of such Seller Confidential Information to which it is advised by its counsel to disclose and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the recipient thereof to keep such information confidential. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations set forth in this Section 5.2(b) are in addition to any continuing obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement.

(e) Purchaser will not take, or cause to be taken by any of its Affiliates, any actions or do, or cause to be done by any of its Affiliates, any things that would be reasonably likely to delay the obtaining of the Consent Order, the Closing or the Burgundy Closing or to cause any Governmental Entity to object to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, the Burgundy Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Burgundy Agreement, including acquiring or agreeing to acquire any assets or businesses engaged in whole or in part in a line of business similar to the Business.

(g) Subject to applicable Laws, Purchaser and Seller shall, upon request by the other, furnish Seller, Burgundy or Purchaser, as applicable, with all information concerning itself, its Affiliates, directors, officers or equityholders, as applicable, and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made (or to be made) by or on behalf of Purchaser, Seller, Burgundy or any of their respective Affiliates to any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including with respect to the Consent Order or any other Antitrust Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the performance of each Party’s respective obligations, Seller and Purchaser may, as each determines is reasonably necessary, designate competitively sensitive material provided to the other pursuant to this Section 5.3(g) as “Outside Counsel Only”. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to directors, officers or employees of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.3(g), materials provided to the other Parties or their counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business or information otherwise not germane to regulatory review.

Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall permit any of their respective Affiliates, officers or any other Representatives to participate in any meeting (other than purely administrative phone calls) with any Governmental Entity in respect of any consents, clearances, approvals, authorizations, filings, investigation or other inquiry with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless such Party consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall require (A) Seller or its Affiliates or Purchaser or its Affiliates to take or agree to take any action with respect to its business or operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing, or (B) Seller or its Affiliates to take or agree to take any action that is not contemplated by this Agreement, other than any action that is reasonably required by, or any condition of or other term reasonably imposed by, the FTC in connection with or arising out of the Consent Order, (ii) the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to the transfer of the Transferred Registrations shall be governed by Section 5.20 and the Transition Services Agreement (and not this Section 5.3), (iii) the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to Third-Party Consents shall be governed by Section 5.5 (and not this Section 5.3), and (iv) all costs incurred in connection with obtaining any consents or approvals or taking any other action required by this Section 5.3 (including making any filing or application), including any filing fees under Antitrust Laws or with respect to any of the Transferred Registrations, shall be borne by Purchaser.

In consideration of the foregoing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, promptly pay, perform or discharge when due any liability (including any liability for Taxes) or obligation arising under such Non-Assignable Assets after the Closing (if and to the extent such liability would constitute an Assumed Liability had the Non-Assignable Asset been transferred at the Closing on the terms set forth in this Agreement). Seller shall hold in trust for and pay to Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with its use of any such Non-Assignable Asset (net of any Taxes and any other costs imposed upon Seller or any of its Affiliates) in connection with the arrangements under this Section 5.5.

(d) When the requisite Third-Party Consent is obtained, subject to applicable Law, the applicable Transferred Asset shall be deemed to have been automatically transferred, conveyed, assigned and/or delivered, as applicable, to Purchaser on the terms set forth in this Agreement for no additional consideration without the requirement of any further action of any other Person, as of the Closing, except to the extent the date of such Third-Party Consent is deemed by applicable Law to have occurred on another date, in which case, as of such date.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to the transfer of the Transferred Registrations shall be governed by Section 5.20 and the Transition Services Agreement (and not this Section 5.5), (ii) the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to the sale of the French Business shall be governed by Section 2.11, provided that, if at the time the French Put Option Exercise occurs, any of the French Transferred Assets would constitute Non-Assignable Assets (as if the Closing had occurred as of such date), then this Section 5.5 shall, from and after such time, but subject to any requirements with respect to the sale of the French Business in Section 2.11 and the French Put Option Agreement, be applicable to such French Transferred Assets and (iii) the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to the sale of the Dutch Business shall be governed by Section 2.12, provided that, if at the time the Dutch Consultation Procedures are completed as provided in Section 2.12(b), any of the Dutch Transferred Assets would constitute Non-Assignable Assets (as if the Closing had occurred as of such date), then this Section 5.5 shall, from and after such time, but subject to any requirements with respect to the sale of the Dutch Business in Section 2.12, be applicable to such Dutch Transferred Assets. The term “Non-Assignable Assets” as used in this Section 5.5 shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, include (A) any Transferred Registrations that have not transferred to Purchaser at the Closing (B) any French Transferred Assets, or (C) any Dutch Transferred Assets, except, in each case as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.

5.6 Public Announcements. No Party to this Agreement shall issue or cause the publication of the initial press release or public announcement or any subsequent press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except (i) as may be required by applicable Law or stock exchange rules, in which case the Party required to publish such press release or public announcement shall to the extent practicable provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment on and take into account in good faith the other Party’s comments on such press release or public announcement in advance of such publication and (ii) that any Party may make a press release or public announcement if the information contained therein or so disclosed substantially reiterates (and is not inconsistent with) previous press releases or public announcements made by such Party in compliance with this Section 5.6.

5.7 Guarantees.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to, effective as of the Closing, terminate or cause to be terminated, or cause Purchaser or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Guarantors”) in respect of all liabilities and obligations of the Seller Guarantors under, any Seller Guarantee listed on Schedule 5.7 to this Agreement.

(b) With respect to any Seller Guarantees listed on Schedule 5.7 to this Agreement that are not terminated or for which Purchaser or one of its Affiliates has not been substituted in all respects for the applicable Seller Guarantor(s) as provided in Section 5.7(a), (i) Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, continue to reasonably cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to terminate, or cause Purchaser or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for the Seller Guarantors in respect of, all obligations and liabilities under any such Seller Guarantees, and (ii) Purchaser shall (A) obtain and maintain in effect (including through any replacement letters of credit) one or more letters of credit, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and effective as of the Closing, to backstop any of the Seller Guarantors’ liabilities or obligations under any such Seller Guarantee, and (B) not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, (1) renew or extend the term of, (2) increase its obligations under, (3) transfer to another third party, or (4) amend in any manner, except as contemplated pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 5.7(b) or otherwise required by this Agreement, any Contract or other obligation for which Seller or any of its Affiliates (including any Seller Guarantor) is or would reasonably be expected to be liable under any such Seller Guarantee.

(c) To the extent that any Seller Guarantor has performance obligations or any other Liability under or related to any Seller Guarantee listed on Schedule 5.7 to this Agreement, in each case, if and to the extent related to the conduct of the Business or the operation of the Transferred Assets after the Closing, Purchaser shall (i) perform, pay and discharge, or cause one or more of its Affiliates to perform, pay and discharge in all respects such obligations on behalf of such Seller Guarantor or (ii) otherwise use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as reasonably requested by Seller so as to put such Seller Guarantor in the same position as if Purchaser or one or more of its Affiliates, and not such Seller Guarantor, had performed or were performing such obligations.

(d) For purposes of this Section 5.7, and for the avoidance of doubt, “reasonable best efforts” shall not require Seller or Purchaser to, or to cause any of its Affiliates to, (i) make or accelerate any payment under any Indebtedness, Contract or other obligation for which a Seller Guarantor is or may be liable under any Seller Guarantee or (ii) pay any other amounts, provide other consideration or otherwise grant any accommodation to any third party.

5.8 Insurance. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that the policies and insurance coverage maintained on behalf of the Business are part of the corporate insurance program maintained by Seller and its Affiliates (such policies, the “Corporate Policies”), and, from and after the Closing, neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall have any access, right, title or interest to or in all Corporate Policies (including to all claims and rights to make claims and all rights to proceeds). Seller and each of its Affiliates (a) may, to be effective as of the Closing, amend any insurance policies (including any of the Corporate Policies) in the manner it deems appropriate to give effect to this Section 5.8 and (b) shall be free at their discretion at any time to cancel, not renew or otherwise modify any insurance policies (including any of the Corporate Policies). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for the operation of the Business. Purchaser further covenants and agrees not to seek to assert or to exercise any rights or claims in respect of the Business under or in respect of any past or current insurance policy of Seller or any of its Affiliates under which the Business is a named insured or otherwise insured (including any of the Corporate Policies).

5.9 Litigation Matters.

(a) In the event and for so long as, in the case of clause (i), either Seller or Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates is or, in the case of clause (ii), Seller or any of its Affiliates is prosecuting, contesting or defending any Action by a third party in connection with (i) any transactions contemplated under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction relating to, in connection with or arising from the Transferred Assets, the Excluded Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities or the Business, then (A) in the case of clause (i), the other Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective pertinent Representatives to, and (B) in the case of clause (ii), Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective pertinent Representatives to, in each case, reasonably cooperate with Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, each of their respective Affiliates and their respective Representatives in such prosecution, contest or defense, including preserving its pertinent Books and Records (which will, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, include complying with any existing “legal holds”), and providing access to its Books and Records as shall be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with such prosecution, contest or defense, in each case subject to the access provisions set forth in Section 5.1.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.9(a) or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 5.9 shall not be applicable to any indemnification claim under Article X, which shall be governed by the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article X (and not this Section 5.9).

5.10 Recordation of Transfer of Certain Transferred Assets. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for all applicable recordations and perfection of the assignment of the Transferred Assets, including the Transferred Patents, the Transferred Trademarks, the Transferred Copyrights and the Transferred Domain Names from the title owner of each such Transferred Asset to Purchaser or its Affiliates, and to use reasonable best efforts to complete any requisite recordation or perfection of the assignment of the Transferred Assets within six (6) months following the Closing. Seller shall (at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser) reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with, and for the six (6) months period described in, the immediately preceding sentence.

5.11 Non-Solicitation; Non-Hire.

(a) Commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the second (2nd) anniversary thereof, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or services (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise), offer to hire or engage, hire, engage or enter into any employment or consulting agreement or arrangement with any of the Transferred Employees without Purchaser’s prior written consent; provided, that these prohibitions shall not apply to (i) solicitations of any such individual whose employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates has ended at least six (6) months prior to the time such solicitation is made, (ii) solicitations made to the public or the industry generally through advertising or electronic listing which are not targeted at employees of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (iii) hiring any person in connection with solicitations permitted under clause (i) or (ii) and who was not otherwise solicited in breach of this Section 5.11.

(b) Commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the second (2nd) anniversary thereof, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or services (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise), offer to hire or engage, hire, engage or enter into any employment or consulting agreement or arrangement with any of the employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Burgundy and its Affiliates) set forth on Schedule 5.11(b) to this Agreement (the “Retained Employees”) without Seller’s prior written consent; provided, that these prohibitions shall not apply to (i) solicitations of any such individual whose employment with Seller or its Affiliates has ended, (ii) solicitations made to the public or the industry generally through advertising or electronic listing which are not targeted at employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates or (iii) hiring any person in connection with solicitations permitted under clause (i) or (ii) and who was not otherwise solicited in breach of this Section 5.11(b).

5.12 Seller Marks.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement or the Services Plan prepared thereunder (the “Services Plan”), Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that it shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the transfer of the applicable Product Registration for such jurisdiction to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, and in any event no later than the end of the periods set forth for each jurisdiction in the Transition Services Agreement or the Services Plan or such other period as may be required under applicable Law (such period for a jurisdiction, the “Cut-Over Period”), revise sales and product literature, packaging and labeling to (i) delete all displays of any Seller Identified Marks and (ii) delete all references to customer service address or phone number of Seller or any of its Affiliates, in each case, except as Purchaser reasonably determines would be prohibited under applicable Laws; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specifically set forth in the Transitional Services Agreement or the Services Plan or as may otherwise required under applicable Law, for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days from the end of the relevant Cut-Over Period (the “Transitional Period”), Purchaser may continue to distribute sales and product literature, and market, distribute, import, export and sell any Product Inventory and any Product manufactured by or on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates within the relevant Cut-Over Period after the Closing Date consistent with the past practices of Seller or its Affiliates during the one hundred twenty (120) day period preceding the Closing Date. Subject to Purchaser’s compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.12, and to the extent Seller or its Affiliates has the right to grant such right and license, effective upon the Closing Date, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Purchaser a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except Purchaser may grant sublicenses to any wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser and, in a manner substantially consistent with such practices as of or prior to the Closing Date, to third-party contractors, provided, that Purchaser notifies Seller in advance and in writing and Purchaser remains primarily liable and responsible for all acts and omissions of such sublicensee, including any that would constitute a breach of this Section 5.12 with respect to the Seller Identified Marks), royalty-free, paid up right and license, during the Transitional Period, solely to use the Seller Identified Marks owned by Seller or any of its Affiliates that are used by Seller or any of its Affiliates as of the Closing Date in connection with the conduct of the Business, including to distribute such sales and product literature, and to market, distribute, import, export and sell such Product Inventory and any Product manufactured by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 5.12 in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice of Seller and its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date. In no event shall Purchaser use any Seller Marks, customer service addresses or phone numbers after the Closing Date in any manner or for any purpose that deviates in any material respect from the use of such Seller Marks, customer service addresses or phone numbers by the Business during the one hundred twenty (120) day period preceding the Closing Date. As between the Parties, Seller or an Affiliate of Seller is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Seller Marks and all rights related thereto and goodwill associated therewith, and all uses of the Seller Marks and the goodwill arising therefrom shall inure solely to the benefit of Seller or such Affiliate of Seller. Any use by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s wholly-owned Subsidiary sublicensees of any of the Seller Marks during the time periods referred to in this Section 5.12 shall be consistent with the form and manner, and standards of quality, of those in effect by Seller and its Affiliates with respect thereto during the one hundred twenty (120) day period preceding the Closing Date and in accordance with all applicable Laws. Seller and its Affiliates shall have the right, during the Transitional Period, to reasonably request samples of uses of the Seller Marks by or on behalf of Purchaser or its Affiliates to inspect and exercise quality control with respect to Purchaser’s and Purchaser’s sublicensees’ use of the Seller Marks, and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide such samples in a reasonable manner; provided, however, that such provision does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of Purchaser or the Business. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and the other Seller Indemnified Parties against, and reimburse Seller and each other Seller Indemnified Party for, all Losses that Seller and/or such other Seller Indemnified Party(ies) may suffer or incur, or become subject to, without duplication, to the extent such Losses arise as a result of any use by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of any Seller Marks, the exercise of the rights and license grated to Purchaser hereunder or any breaches or violations of this Section 5.12.

(b) Except solely as set forth in this Section 5.12, during the Transitional Period or as set forth in the Transitional Services Agreement or the Services Plan or as may be otherwise required under applicable Law, following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cease, and shall cause its Affiliates to cease, making any use (in any form or manner or for any purpose) of any Seller Marks (including any Marks that contain or comprise any Seller Marks) in any jurisdiction, including as part of any company name, Internet domain name or social media handle (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred IP or any Marks that would be considered confusingly similar to Seller Marks) other than for nominative use, fair use, or otherwise as permitted or required under applicable Laws. Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, use the Seller Marks in a manner that would reasonably be expected in any respect to reflect negatively on, or otherwise adversely affect, any such Seller Marks (including the goodwill associated therewith) or Seller or any of its Affiliates. Without limiting any other remedies that may be available to Seller or any of its Affiliates, Seller shall have the right to terminate any license granted pursuant to Section 5.12(a) upon written notice to Purchaser, following a forty-five (45) day notice and cure period, if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates materially breaches any of the terms or conditions set forth in this Section 5.12 without curing such breach within forty-five (45) days of receiving Seller’s written notice of such breach. Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.12, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to not, hold itself out as having any affiliation with Seller or any of its Affiliates.

5.13 Misallocated Assets. Subject to Section 2.11, Section 2.12 and Section 5.5, in the event that either Seller or Purchaser becomes aware that (a) record or beneficial ownership or possession of any asset that is a Transferred Asset has not been sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered by Seller or its Affiliates to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates at the Closing, or that any Assumed Liability has not been assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, or (b) record or beneficial ownership or possession of any asset that is not a Transferred Asset has been sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered by Seller or its Affiliates to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates at the Closing, or that any Excluded Liability has been erroneously assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, then it shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties shall thereafter reasonably cooperate to, as promptly as practicable, (x) sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver (or cause to be sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered) the relevant asset to, as the case may be, Purchaser or its designated Affiliate, or Seller or its designated Affiliate, or (y) cause the relevant Liability to be assumed by Purchaser or its designated Affiliate, or Seller or its designated Affiliate, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to this Agreement or any applicable Local Purchase Agreement.

5.14 Payments.

(a) Seller shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, promptly pay or deliver to Purchaser any monies or checks received by Seller or any of its Affiliates following the Closing to the extent they are (or represent the proceeds of) a Transferred Asset.

(b) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, promptly pay or deliver to Seller any monies or checks that have been received by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates following the Closing to the extent they are (or represent the proceeds of) an Excluded Asset.

5.15 Notification of Certain Matters. Seller and Purchaser shall promptly notify each other of any Action commenced or, to the Knowledge of Seller or to the Knowledge of Purchaser, as applicable, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such Party or its Affiliates which relates to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of Seller or any of its Affiliates, any Action that exclusively relates to the Burgundy Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Burgundy Agreement that would not reasonably be expected to impact in any material respect this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder).

5.16 Local Purchase Agreements.

(a) At or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause the other applicable Asset Selling Entities to, and Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the other Party the Local Purchase Agreements for each of the jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 5.16(a) to this Agreement and any other jurisdiction mutually agreed to by Purchaser and Seller (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) as being necessary or appropriate to effect the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, delivery or assumption of any Transferred Asset in any such jurisdiction (each such jurisdiction where a Local Purchase Agreement is required to be executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 5.16, a “Required Local Purchase Agreement Jurisdiction”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the execution and/or delivery of the Local Purchase Agreements may require prior consultation with or notice, information or notification to, the relevant Employee Representative Body of Seller or Purchaser (or any of their respective Affiliates), as the case may be.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Local Purchase Agreements, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Local Purchase Agreements are being entered into solely for purposes of implementing the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, delivery and assumption, as applicable of the Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities in each Required Local Purchase Agreement Jurisdiction, (ii) the Local Purchase Agreements shall not expand or limit the rights or obligations of Seller, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, beyond those provided for in this Agreement, and (iii) the payment of the Purchase Price under this Agreement shall be deemed to include the payment of any required purchase price under the Local Purchase Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, in the event of any conflict between the terms of any Local Purchase Agreements and this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser agree and acknowledge that the term of this Agreement shall control and that, if necessary, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, deliver such additional instruments or agreements as may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

(c) Each Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates which is a party to a Local Purchase Agreements to, reasonably cooperate in good faith to prepare the Local Purchase Agreements in each Required Local Purchase Agreement Jurisdiction in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including the definition “Local Purchase Agreements”).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, neither Seller, nor the French Asset Selling Entity, shall have any obligation to execute the French Local Purchase Agreement until the French Put Option Exercise occurs and, then, on the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 2.11 and the French Put Option Agreement.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, neither Seller, nor the Dutch Asset Selling Entities, shall have any obligation to execute the Dutch Local Purchase Agreement until the Dutch Consultation Procedures are completed as provided in Section 2.12(b) and, then, on the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 2.12.

5.17 Contact with Customers, Suppliers and Other Business Relations. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Purchaser hereby agrees that it is not authorized to and shall not (and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives to) contact any director, employee, officer, customer, supplier, distributor, partner or other material business relation of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including any Business Employee) regarding the Business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

5.18 Data Protection.

(a) If applicable Data Protection Legislation requires a fair processing notice to be sent to any “data subject” (as such term is defined in applicable Data Protection Legislation) as a result of the transfer of any Personal Data in connection with this Agreement, Purchaser shall send a fair processing notice to each relevant data subject within fifteen (15) Business Days following the Closing Date and will supplement or modify such notice in order to comply with applicable Data Protection Legislation.

(b) Purchaser shall comply with all applicable Data Protection Legislation with respect to the transactions contemplated herein.

(c) If and to the extent the transfer of Personal Data of Business Employees prior to Closing is strictly necessary to enable Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and applicable Law vis-à-vis the Business Employees (the “Pre-Closing Employee Data”), Purchaser shall send a list of the required Pre-Closing Employee Data to Seller as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 20 Business Days after the date of this Agreement. As promptly as practicable after receipt of such list by Seller pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Parties shall in good faith negotiate, and use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into, an information sharing protocol (on terms reasonably acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser) governing the provision, subject to applicable Data Protection Legislation, by Seller to Purchaser of the Pre-Closing Employee Data, and in particular the categories of Pre-Closing Employee Data to be provided, the timing for the provision of the Pre-Closing Employee Data, the conditions for the transfer of the Pre-Closing Employee Data outside the European Economic Area (as the case may be), the identity of recipients of the Pre-Closing Employee Data and the obligations of Purchaser in respect of the Pre-Closing Employee Data. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not have any obligation to provide to Purchaser any Personal Data of Business Employees (including any Pre-Closing Employee Data) before the Parties have executed any such information sharing protocol.

5.19 Shared Contracts. Except as otherwise agreed by Seller and Purchaser in writing or as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (including with respect to any Specified Shared Contracts that relate to services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement or the Supply Agreement), until the expiration or termination date of any Specified Shared Contract or any other Shared Contract (other than those Excluded Contracts listed on Schedule 1.1(c) which are not also Specified Shared Contracts) (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 respective Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or structure an arrangement for Purchaser to obtain the claims, rights and benefits, and assume the corresponding liabilities and obligations thereunder (other than to the extent relating to or arising out of any breach or other violation of such Shared Contract prior to the Closing), of such portion of any such Shared Contract that relates to and is allocated to the Program Business, as reasonably determined by Seller and Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be under no obligation to enter into any such arrangement with respect to, or obtain any claims, rights and benefits, or assume any corresponding liabilities and obligations under, any Shared Contract other than a Specified Shared Contract; provided, further, that Seller and its Affiliates shall not be required to take any action that would, in the good-faith judgment of Seller upon the advice of outside counsel, constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of any other party to such Shared Contract or be ineffective under, or contravene, applicable Law. With respect to Shared Contractual Liabilities pursuant to, under or relating to any Specified Shared Contract, such Shared Contractual Liabilities shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser as follows: (i) if a liability is incurred solely in respect of either the Program Business or the other businesses of Seller or any of its Affiliates, such liability shall be allocated to Purchaser (in respect of the Transferred Assets) or Seller (in respect of the other businesses of Seller or any of its Affiliates); and (ii) if a liability cannot be so allocated under clause (i), such liability shall be allocated to Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, based on the relative proportion of total benefit received by Purchaser in respect of the Program Business and Seller or any of its Affiliates in respect of its other businesses under the relevant Specified Shared Contract, as reasonably determined by Seller and Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Seller and Purchaser shall be responsible for any or all liabilities arising from its (or its Affiliates’) direct or indirect breach of any Specified Shared Contract.

5.20 Transfer of the Transferred Registrations.

(a) (i) Promptly after the Closing (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days following the Closing), Seller shall provide a complete copy of the approved Product NDAs, including supplements and records that are required to be kept under 21 C.F.R. 314.81, to Purchaser, and (ii) promptly after the date on which Seller provides a complete copy of the approved Product NDAs, including supplements and records that are required to be kept under 21 C.F.R. 314.81 to the Purchaser (but in any event no later than two (2) weeks following such date), Seller shall file, or cause to be filed, with the FDA the Seller FDA Letters, and provide a copy of the as-filed Seller FDA Letters to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall file, or cause to be filed, with the FDA the Purchaser FDA Letters and provide a copy of the as-filed Purchaser FDA Letters to Seller.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.20(a), as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly develop a plan for the transfer of each Transferred Registration, any Variant Registration and any Price Approval to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates (or a designee of such Person) in each relevant country or territory (each such country or territory, an “Applicable Territory”) (such plan, the “Country Transfer Plan”). The Country Transfer Plan shall set forth:

(i) with respect to each Transferred Registration in such country or territory, whether Purchaser elects to:

(A) withdraw such Transferred Registration; or

(B) have such Transferred Registration transferred to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates (or a designee of such Person) and, if to one of its Affiliates, the name and jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, as applicable, of such Affiliate (any such Affiliate of Purchaser, a “Designated Affiliate”);

(ii) the activities that Seller, Purchaser and their respective applicable Affiliates will need to perform to effect the transfer of each Transferred Registration and any Price Approval to Purchaser or a Designated Affiliate, as applicable; and

(iii) the target transfer date by which each Transferred Registration and any Price Approval will transfer to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (which shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, be prior to the Closing).

(c) The Parties agree that, unless expressly agreed by Seller in writing (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Country Transfer Plan shall be designed to ensure that, with respect to each Transferred Registration:

(i) such Transferred Registration transfers to Purchaser or a Designated Affiliate, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in any event no later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date; and

(ii) until the earlier of (A) the completion of such transfer or (B) the end of the eighteen (18) month period following the Closing Date, Seller or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall hold and maintain such Transferred Registration at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Transition Services Agreement;

provided, that in, each case of (i) and (ii), if the completion of such transfer within such eighteen (18) month period is not reasonably practicable due to (w) intervention or failure to act on the part of the relevant Governmental Entity beyond the reasonable control of Purchaser or its Affiliates (including where the relevant Governmental Entity will not process the request until an earlier filing has been processed or approved, for example an application for, or variation to, a registration); (x) applicable Laws; (y) acts or omissions agreed between the Parties; or (z) any circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Parties (each of (w) through (z), a “Permitted Delay”), the Parties shall agree on a plan to resolve the delay and a suitable extension, taking into account the reasons for the delay.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Section 5.20(a) and applicable national Laws within the Applicable Territory, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall take the lead in coordinating the transfers of the Transferred Registration, and Purchaser shall make all filings and perform all other actions required for the transfer of each Transferred Registration as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within six (6) months of the Closing Date and in accordance with the Country Transfer Plan.

(e) Seller shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, provide such cooperation as Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with Purchaser making such filings and performing such actions. Purchaser shall provide Seller with the status of the progress of the transfer of each Transferred Registration on a reasonable basis. Purchaser shall also provide a copy of each certificate of registration of the transfer of each Transferred Registration to Seller after receiving such certificate from the applicable Governmental Entity.

(f) Until the earlier of (i) the date of transfer of a Transferred Registration, and (ii) the end of the eighteen (18) month period following the Closing Date, each Party directly, or through an Affiliate, shall provide, or cause to be provided, a copy of all relevant correspondence with any Governmental Entity relating to such Transferred Registration to the other Party within five (5) Business Days of the delivery or receipt of any such correspondence.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Seller shall have the right (at its option) to de-register, withdraw or sell any Transferred Registration:

(i) for which Purchaser fails to make filings or perform such actions required for the transfer of such Transferred Registration within six (6) months of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall not withdraw any Transferred Registration without first giving Purchaser at least thirty (30) days prior written notice; or

(ii) which, as of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, shall not have been transferred to Purchaser;

provided, that in, each case of (i) and (ii), if the making of such filings or performance of such actions, or the completion of such transfers, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable deadline set forth in this Section 5.20(g) is not reasonably practicable due to a Permitted Delay, the Parties shall agree on a plan to resolve the delay and a suitable extension, taking into account the reasons for the delay; and provided also that Seller’s right to sell (rather than deregister or withdraw) such non-transferred Transferred Registrations shall only apply where required by applicable Law or a Governmental Entity and in this case Seller agrees to sell such non-transferred Transferred Registrations to a third party designated by Purchaser to the extent permissible under applicable Law.

In the event that Seller cannot de-register, withdraw or sell any such Transferred Registrations due to requirements of applicable Law or any applicable Governmental Entity, (1) Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to ensure the continued supply of the Product where medically necessary for a reasonable period of time in the applicable countries on commercially reasonable terms, and (2) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collaborate with Seller to complete the transfer, sale, or conveyance of such Transferred Registrations to a third party.

(h) From and after the Closing, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall bear (either directly when feasible or by way of reimbursement to Seller) all fees levied by the relevant Governmental Entities in the Applicable Territory and any other relevant costs for (i) the maintenance of the Transferred Registrations in the Applicable Territory and for the transfer to Purchaser (or its Affiliates); and (ii) any variations, amendments and renewals to the same.

(i) Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that Seller cannot transfer any such Price Approvals due to requirements of applicable Law or any applicable Governmental Entity, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to support Purchaser in obtaining its own Price Approvals.

5.21 Non-Compete.

(a) Subject to Section 5.21(b) and Section 5.21(c), for the duration of time following the Closing set forth in Schedule 5.21(a) (the “Non-Compete Period”), neither Burgundy, Seller nor any of their controlled Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, (i) participate or engage in any Competing Business, (ii) own, manage, operate or control any Person participating or engaged in a Competing Business, or (iii) enable, assist or license or grant any right that facilitates, any Person’s participation or engagement in any Competing Business. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event there is a Seller Change of Control Event, any party to such Seller Change of Control Event (other than Burgundy, Seller and their controlled Affiliates immediately prior to the occurrence of such Seller Change of Control Event) shall not be subject to this Section 5.21(a) and this Section 5.21(a) shall, from and after the consummation of such Seller Change of Control Event, only apply to Burgundy, Seller and their controlled Affiliates immediately prior such Seller Change of Control Event.

(b) Section 5.21(a) shall not be deemed breached as a result of: (i) the ownership by Burgundy, Seller or any of their controlled Affiliates of a passive interest of less than ten percent (10%) in the aggregate of any class of stock or other equity securities of a Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in any Competing Business; or (ii) the ownership by Burgundy, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates of any interest if such interest arises as a result of the acquisition following the Closing Date of a Person that engages, directly or indirectly, in a Competing Business; provided that (A) such acquisition is not undertaken for the purpose of evading the obligations of Burgundy, Seller or any of their controlled Affiliates under Section 5.21(a) and (B) Burgundy or Seller, as the case may be, complies with Section 5.21(c);

(c) In the event that Burgundy, Seller or any of their controlled Affiliates acquires during the Non-Compete Period any interest in a Person that engages, directly or indirectly, in a Competing Business, then Burgundy or Seller shall, or shall cause any such acquiring controlled Affiliate to, divest the Competing Business so acquired as promptly as practicable (but in any event within twelve (12) months of such acquisition). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Burgundy, Seller or the applicable Affiliate of Burgundy or Seller shall not be required to divest such interest if there are, as of the time of such acquisition, nine (9) months or less until the end of the Non-Compete Period.

Article VI
EMPLOYEE MATTERS COVENANTS

6.1 Transferred Employees.

(a) Where the conditions set forth by applicable Law for an automatic transfer of employment of any Closing Business Employee are met, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties (i) shall take or cause to be taken such actions as are required under applicable Law to accomplish such transfer of employment of such Closing Business Employee to Purchaser by operation of Law as of the Closing and (ii) shall not take and shall not cause to be taken any such actions that would result in the employment of such Closing Business Employee not transferring to Purchaser by operation of Law as of the Closing. Where applicable Law does not provide for the automatic transfer of employment of any Closing Business Employee upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or in case the conditions for such automatic transfer are not met, Purchaser shall, or shall cause an Affiliate to, make offers of employment to such Closing Business Employee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that the transfer of the portions of the Business conducted by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in the European Union (“EU”) and certain other countries are intended to constitute a transfer of business within the meaning of EU Council Directive 2001/23/EC, the national Laws implementing the same or any similar Laws applicable in non-EU jurisdictions (the “Directive”), and each Closing Business Employee with respect to such portions of the Business shall be referred to herein as an “EU/Directive Automatic Transferring Employee”. The Parties further acknowledge that, as a result, the employment of the EU/Directive Automatic Transferring Employees, including all related rights and obligations, will transfer by operation of Law to Purchaser as of the Closing Date, except with respect to any EU/Directive Automatic Transferring Employee who timely exercises his or her rights, if any, under any applicable Law to prevent such transfer from occurring. Purchaser will assume, as of the Closing Date, all liabilities with respect to each EU/Directive Automatic Transferring Employee or other Closing Business Employee whose employment transfers automatically to Purchaser by operation of Law (collectively, “Automatic Transferring Employees”), in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) If any Closing Business Employee requires a work visa, work permit or employment pass or other legal or regulatory approval for his or her employment with Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to cause any such visa, permit, pass or other approval to be obtained and in effect prior to the Closing Date. In the event any such permit, pass or other approval is not obtained and in effect prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use best efforts to cause any such visa, permit, pass or other approval to be obtained as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. To the extent that any Transferred Employee’s employment with Purchaser or an Affiliate is delayed past Closing due to the attainment of any such visa, permit, pass or other approval, such Transferred Employee shall commence employment at the earliest possible time upon attaining the same.

(d) If the transfer of any Closing Business Employee requires a prior authorization from any authority for staff representative members under applicable Law, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the relevant proceeding in order to obtain this authorization no later than Closing. To the extent that the transfer of any such Closing Business Employee is delayed due to the absence of such authorization the employment of such Closing Business Employee shall transfer at the earliest possible time or the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to second or otherwise make available the services of such Transferred Employee to Purchaser, subject to the Transferred Employee’s consent (such Transferred Employees together being, the “Seconded Employees”) (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not have any liability with respect to any such Closing Business Employee until such transfer). Purchaser shall be responsible and promptly pay (including, where relevant, reimbursing Seller) for all Employee Costs for such Seconded Employees arising during the relevant period of such secondment or service provision. “Employee Costs” for the purposes of this Section 6.1(d) shall mean salary and any other costs or liabilities directly related to providing any contractual customary benefits to the Seconded Employees, including bonus costs, pension contributions, social security costs and any Tax costs. With respect to any such Closing Business Employees, all references to the “Closing” or “Closing Date” in this Agreement, except in Sections 6.1(d), 6.1(e) and 6.2(b), shall refer to the date on which such Closing Business Employee becomes a Transferred Employee.

(e) Where applicable Law does not provide for the automatic transfer of employment of any Closing Business Employee upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, make offers of employment to each such Closing Business Employee (each, an “Offer Employee”) at least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date (or such longer period required by applicable Law or the terms of any applicable CBA); provided, that such thirty (30) day period specified herein shall not require Purchaser to make offers (i) less than twenty (20) days following the date of this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall, in all events, make such offers before Closing), (ii) if Seller has not provided to Purchaser the information set forth in Schedule 6.1(e) as currently in effect at least ten (10) days prior to the date Purchaser is required to make such offers, with such information being updated promptly in the event of any changes made thereto by Seller in the period beginning on the date of Seller’s initial disclosure and ending on the date Purchaser is required to make such offers or (iii) for Offer Employees subject to works council processes only, prior to the completion of any applicable works council process or as otherwise required by applicable Law. Such offer of employment will be effective as of the Closing Date, subject to Section 6.1(d); provided, however, that any Offer Employee who is based in either the United States or Canada but not actively employed immediately prior to the Closing Date (each, a “Leave Employee”) shall not become a Transferred Employee (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not have any liability with respect to any Leave Employee) until the date such Leave Employee returns to active status with Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided further, that no Leave Employee shall be entitled to employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates unless he or she returns to active status with Seller or any of its Affiliates on or before the nine (9) month anniversary of the Closing Date. To the extent Seller does not provide the required information within ten (10) days prior to the date by which Purchaser is required to make such offers, the date Seller is required to make any affected offer will be changed to ten (10) days after such information is provided. Such offers of employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates shall (i) comply with applicable Law, (ii) be on terms and conditions (including in respect of work location, position, conditions, and responsibilities) that are substantially equivalent to such terms and conditions as provided to such Offer Employees by Seller or any of its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date, (iii) provide for base salary or hourly wage rate, cash incentive compensation and equity incentive compensation, no less favorable than provided to such Offer Employees by Seller or any of its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date and (iv) for Offer Employees employed in the United States, provide such terms and conditions of employment necessary for such offer to constitute a “Comparable Offer” for purposes of the Change in Control Severance Plan. Upon the transfer of such Closing Business Employees, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to enter into a tripartite agreement among Seller, Purchaser and the Closing Business Employee or, where such agreement is not enforceable, to carry out all necessary steps to transfer the Closing Business Employee’s employment contract and, if applicable, the employment conditions and the length of service.

(f) Any Automatic Transferring Employee, as of the Closing, and any Offer Employee who commences employment with Purchaser or its Affiliate as of the Closing, shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”. With respect to Leave Employees, all references to the “Closing” or “Closing Date” in this Agreement, except in Sections 6.1(d), 6.1(e) and 6.2(b), shall refer to the date on which such Closing Business Employee becomes a Transferred Employee.

(g) The Parties intend that for purposes of any severance obligations arising under any Law, Contract, or Benefit Plan, including any notice, compensation or benefits payable during a termination notice period, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not constitute a severance of employment of any Transferred Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, so that Transferred Employees will be offered continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before, during and immediately following the Closing. Purchaser shall assume and be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against, all Liabilities in respect of claims made by any Closing Business Employee for (i) severance obligations arising under any Law, Contract, or Benefit Plan, including any notice, compensation or benefits payable during a termination notice period (including claims for constructive dismissal, termination indemnities, any damages arising from a breach of the Closing Business Employee’s employment contract, and any payments required to be made under any applicable Law or the Change in Control Severance Plan in respect of the termination of the Closing Business Employee’s employment) relating to (A) an Offer Employee not accepting Purchaser’s (or an Affiliate’s) offer of employment that does not meet the requirements of Section 6.1(e) (including the termination of any such employee by Seller or any of its Affiliate), and/or (B) the termination of employment or constructive dismissal of any Transferred Employee by Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser on or after the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a termination for “Good Reason” (or a similar term)); and (ii) any claims relating to the employment of any Transferred Employee on or after the Closing Date, including in respect of any act or omission relating to the employment of any Transferred Employee on or after the Closing Date; unless and to the extent that such claims are based solely on facts occurring prior to the Closing Date; provided that Purchaser shall assume and be solely responsible for Liabilities in respect of claims based on acts or omissions by Purchaser regardless of when such acts or omissions occur. Seller shall assume and be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates from and against, all Liabilities in respect of claims made by (I) any Closing Business Employee for severance obligations arising under any Law, Contract or Benefit Plan, including any notice, compensation or benefits payable during a termination notice period (including claims for constructive dismissal, termination indemnities, any damages arising from a breach of the Business Employee’s employment contract, and any payments required to be made under any applicable Law or the Change in Control Severance Plan in respect of the termination of the Closing Business Employee’s employment) (x) relating to an Offer Employee not accepting Purchaser’s (or an Affiliate’s) offer of employment that meets the requirements of Section 6.1(e) and/or (y) to which a Business Employee may be entitled to as a result of the Closing (other than as a result of Purchaser’s failure to make an offer of employment that meets the requirements of Section 6.1(e)) and/or (z) to which a Business Employee may be entitled to as a result of any termination of employment or constructive dismissal prior to the Closing (other than as a result of Purchaser’s failure to make an offer of employment that meets the requirements of Section 6.1(e)) and (II) any Transferred Employee relating to the employment of such Transferred Employee prior to or on the Closing Date (other than claims based on acts or omissions by Purchaser and its Affiliates), including in respect of any act or omission relating to the employment of any Transferred Employee prior to or on the Closing Date (other than claims based on acts or omissions by Purchaser and its Affiliates) and (III) any Seller employee who is not listed in Schedule 3.12(a) and who is claiming for an automatic transfer of employment or an entitlement of a transfer of employment.

(h) During the period prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to make Business Contractors directly engaged by Sellers or its Affiliates available to Purchaser for the purpose of allowing Purchaser to interview each such Business Contractor and determine the nature and extent of each such Business Contractor’s continuation of services to the Business after the Closing, if any.

6.2 Compensation and Benefits.

(a) Except as otherwise provided under the Transition Services Agreement and as required by the terms of any Seller Benefit Plan and applicable Law, effective as of the Closing, each Closing Business Employee shall cease to actively participate in (including eligibility to contribute to) and accrue benefits under all Seller Benefit Plans, and except as otherwise provided under the Transition Services Agreement, such Closing Business Employee shall commence participation in the benefit and compensation plans established or maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates. After the Closing Date, the Parties shall cooperate to provide such current information regarding the Transferred Employees on an ongoing basis as may be necessary to facilitate determinations of eligibility for, and payments of benefits to, the Transferred Employees under any applicable Seller Benefit Plan that continues to be maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall honor all Assumed Business Employee Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing and with applicable Law. Until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each Transferred Employee (A) base salary or wage rate that is not less than the base salary or wage rate provided to the Transferred Employee immediately prior to Closing, (B) cash incentive compensation (including bonus opportunity and other cash incentive compensation opportunities) and equity incentive compensation no less favorable in the aggregate than the cash incentive compensation (including bonus opportunity and other cash incentive compensation opportunities) and equity incentive compensation provided to the Transferred Employee immediately before the Closing, and (C) for Transferred Employees who are participants in the Change in Control Severance Plan, severance benefits in amounts and on terms and conditions that are no less favorable than those provided to the Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing under the Change in Control Severance Plan. Until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each Transferred Employee benefits substantially similar in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to the Transferred Employee under the Benefit Plans (including the Assumed Business Employee Plans) immediately prior the Closing; provided, that, for purposes of determining whether such employee benefits are substantially similar in the aggregate, defined benefit pension benefits, retention or change in control payments or awards provided by Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date shall not be taken into account. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any profit sharing scheme for which the amount cannot be predicted in advance and that does not qualify as wages or compensation under applicable Law are not part of this commitment, except where expressly required by applicable Law. In such countries where the profit sharing scheme cannot be upheld, Purchaser or its Affiliate will extend its profit sharing scheme to Transferred Employees or put in place an equivalent profit sharing scheme to ensure that Transferred Employees are covered as from Closing, subject to applicable Law.

(c) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Transferred Employee after the Closing, including the Assumed Business Employee Plans (the “New Plans”), each such Transferred Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with Seller and its predecessors prior to the Closing, to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled, prior to the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Benefit Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply: (i) to qualify for subsidized early retirement benefits or with respect to benefit accruals, in each case, under any defined benefit pension plan, or (ii) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (1) except as otherwise provided under the Transition Services Agreement, each Transferred Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting period, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is replacing a Benefit Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”) and (2) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision, disability and/or life insurance benefits to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable plans of Seller in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(d) Purchaser agrees that, with respect to the annual cash incentive plans set forth on Schedule 6.2(d) to this Agreement (the “Annual Incentive Plans”), it shall provide each participant in an Annual Incentive Plan (each an “Incentive Plan Participant”) with an annual cash incentive award for the year during which the Closing occurs, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Annual Incentive Plan (except as specifically provided in this Section 6.2(d)), the amount of which shall be determined as the product of (i) the sum of the following: (A) a pro-rated portion of the bonus with respect to the portion of the year of the Closing that occurs prior to the Closing, which bonus shall be determined based upon actual corporate performance through the Closing Date, as determined by Seller prior to the Closing; provided, that such amounts have been accrued on the Financial Statement plus (B) a pro-rated portion of the bonus with respect to the portion of the year of the Closing that occurs after the Closing, which bonus shall be no less than the bonus payable at the applicable Incentive Plan Participant’s target incentive level under such Annual Incentive Plan, multiplied by (ii) the Incentive Plan Participant’s individual performance multiplier determined in accordance with the terms of the Annual Incentive Plan; provided, that, contingent upon the execution and non-revocation of a customary release of claims in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and does not contain any restrictive covenants, each Incentive Plan Participant who experiences a termination of employment on or after the Closing due to death or disability (as defined in Seller’s long-term disability plan), or with respect to which such Incentive Plan Participant is eligible to receive severance benefits under any Seller Benefit Plan or Assumed Business Employee Plan or applicable Law, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be entitled to the prorated payment of the amount that would otherwise have been payable under this Section 6.2(d) (i.e., without applying the individual performance multiplier referred to in clause (ii)); and provided, further, that in no event shall payment of any amounts under the Annual Incentive Plans (or any pro-rated portion thereof) pursuant to this Section 6.2(d) result in the duplication of payments to any Incentive Plan Participant under any other incentive, severance or other similar arrangement.

(e) With respect to Transferred Employees in the United States:

(i) Purchaser and the “buying group” (as defined in 26 C.F.R. § 54.4980B-9) shall have the sole obligation and responsibility to comply with the requirements to provide health continuation coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code or any similar Law (“COBRA”) with respect to any Closing Business Employee or former employee of the Business (and his or her “qualified beneficiaries”, as defined in Section 4980B(g)(1) of the Code) who experience a “qualifying event” (as defined in Section 4980B(f)(3) of the Code) prior to, on or after the Closing Date.

(ii) Effective on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Transferred Employees the right to participate in a 401(k) plan that is tax qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, which is sponsored, established or maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”). As soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, Seller shall take any actions as may be required to permit each Transferred Employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) in the form of cash, and including promissory notes evidencing outstanding loans, in an amount equal to the full account balance distributed or distributable to such Transferred Employee from the 401(k) plan sponsored or maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan. As of the Closing Date, the Purchaser 401(k) Plan shall accept (and shall be amended, prior to the Closing Date, to the extent necessary to accept) the rollover of any “eligible rollover distribution” (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from the Seller 401(k) Plan, including plan loans.

(f) Effective on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to assume, including taking all actions reasonably requested by Seller to assume, the Assumed Business Employee Plans and will indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless against all liabilities arising under these plans after Closing due to events or circumstances occurring after the Closing.

(g) Subject to any variation required under applicable Law and/or any CBA, the Parties agree that if any Transferred Employee has accrued defined contribution benefits prior to the Closing in a Non-U.S. Benefit Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any cash balance accounts maintained for and in respect of any Transferred Employees in Switzerland) (the “Non-U.S. Retirement Plans”) then the Parties shall co-operate in good faith to cause, or shall cause one of their respective Affiliates to cause, as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, a transfer of the account balances of such Transferred Employee from the relevant Non-U.S. Retirement Plans to a comparable plan or arrangement operated or made available by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates (as applicable).

6.3 WARN Act. For a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not engage in any conduct that would (i) result in an employment loss for any Closing Business Employees which, if aggregated with any such conduct on the part of Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing, would trigger the WARN Act, or (ii) create any liability or penalty to Seller or any of its Affiliates under the WARN Act or otherwise relating to any employment terminations or plant closures under applicable Law. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with respect to the provision of information to Purchaser, upon request, in order to avoid triggering the WARN Act. Purchaser shall assume and be solely responsible for and agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and, at the option of Seller, to defend Seller or any of its Affiliates from and against any liability under the WARN Act on or after the Closing Date with respect to the Closing Business Employees.

6.4 Unused Vacation, Sick Leave and Personal Time. To the extent Seller or any of its Affiliates is required by Law, to pay out any accrued and unused vacation, sick leave, personal time, or other paid time off to (i) any Business Employee who is not a Transferred Employee at any time prior to, on or after the Closing Date, and (ii) to any Transferred Employee for amounts accrued at any time prior to or at the Closing, Seller shall be solely liable for all such amounts. To the extent Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is required by Law, to pay out any accrued and unused vacation, sick leave, personal time, or other paid time off to any Transferred Employee for amounts accrued at any time after the Closing, Purchaser shall be solely liable for all such amounts. Purchaser shall assume and honor under substantially equivalent terms and conditions all accrued and unused vacation, sick leave and personal time, or other paid time off of each other Transferred Employee for at least twelve (12) months after Closing. Thereafter, the Transferred Employees shall be subject to, and commence to accrue benefits under, the vacation, sick leave and other personal time-off policies of Purchaser applicable to the respective Transferred Employee, consistent with Section 6.1 and Section 6.2; provided, however, that Purchaser agrees to provide to each Transferred Employee either the same accrual rate or a more favorable accrual rate as the rate set forth under the applicable policies of Seller or any of its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is twelve (12) months thereafter. The Parties acknowledge and agree that for Transferred Employees employed in countries within the European Union, no payment of days of leave or any other accrued but unused vacation, sick leave, or other paid time off shall occur, as such employees’ employment shall be transferred and continued, the Closing and Purchaser shall assume and honor those entitlements in accordance with applicable Law. At the Closing, except to the extent such amounts are accrued in the Financial Statements at the Closing Date, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of the corresponding cost of any such entitlements. The Parties shall identify those entitlements in good faith whilst negotiating the Local Purchase Agreements.

6.5 Workers’ Compensation. Seller and any of its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for workers’ compensation claims relating to any Transferred Employee that are incurred prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for workers’ compensation claims by or with respect to any Transferred Employee that are incurred on or after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 6.5, a workers’ compensation claim shall be considered incurred prior to the Closing Date if the injury or condition giving rise to the claim first occurs prior to the Closing Date. Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other, shall provide access to all applicable records with respect to such workers’ compensation claims to allow the other Party (or its Affiliates) to perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.5. In case Purchaser is required to pay any amount in relation to a workers’ compensation claim incurred on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from any other costs in relation to such claim even if rejected by a court of competent jurisdiction. In case Seller is required to pay any amount in relation to a compensation claim incurred on or after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any other costs in relation to this claim even if rejected by a court of competent jurisdiction.

6.6 Consultation with Employee Representative Bodies.

(a) Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any notification, information and consultation processes, and to seek and obtain any approvals or opinions (or deemed opinion) necessary or desirable to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements from their respective employees and/or Employee Representative Bodies in accordance with applicable Laws and any applicable CBA. Seller shall be responsible for the correctness and completeness of the information provided to the Business Employees and the Employee Representative Bodies relating to Seller and its Affiliates.

(b) The Parties shall cooperate to timely furnish all information and assistance that the requesting Party reasonably considers to be necessary or desirable in connection with the notification, information and consultation process in Section 6.6(a), including, upon request, to participate in the consultation with any Employee Representative Bodies of the requesting Party and any of its Affiliates. A Party shall be responsible for the correctness and completeness of the information provided to the other Party or any of its Affiliates or any Employee Representative Body relating to such other Party and its Affiliates in connection with the obligation under this Section 6.6(b).

(c) Each Party and any of its Affiliates, in consultation with the other Party, shall be entitled to enter into any agreements or arrangements with, or in relation to, the Business Employees and Employee Representative Bodies in connection with the relevant notification, information and consultation processes in Section 6.6(a) as they consider to be reasonably necessary or desirable for the purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; provided that such agreements or arrangements will not require any commitment on behalf of the other Party or its Affiliates or require any commitment on behalf of the other Party or its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date; provided further that such agreements shall not materially adversely affect the Business (including the Financial Statements, organization or workforce). Without prejudice to the preceding sentence, the Parties agree that if, as a result of the terms or conditions of the Business Employees or Employee Representative Bodies or in connection with any approvals therefrom, changes to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, are considered reasonably necessary by a Party, the other Party shall negotiate in good faith on such amendments (if any) to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements as are reasonably appropriate.

(d) In respect of the Dutch Consultation Procedures, Seller will, or will cause the Dutch Asset Selling Entities, to as soon as possible after the date hereof file a request for advice on the Dutch Transaction with the Dutch Works Council, if any, in such form and with such content as Seller shall decide, acting reasonably.

(e) At or as soon as possible after the date hereof, Seller shall, on behalf of itself and Purchaser, issue the required notifications to the SER and the Dutch Trade Unions, if required, in such form and with such content as Seller shall decide, acting reasonably.

(f) The Parties acknowledge that the Dutch Transaction should be subject to the outcome of the Dutch Consultation Procedures. Accordingly, the Parties will carefully consider the outcome of the Dutch Consultation Procedures. If the Dutch Consultation Procedures result in: (i) a negative advice of the Dutch Works Council; or (ii) any conditions of the Dutch Works Council which are not acceptable to Seller acting reasonably, then as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving such advice and/or conditions, Seller shall (after reasonably consulting Purchaser) seek to negotiate such agreements or arrangements with the Dutch Works Council in connection with the Dutch Transaction that are satisfactory to Seller (acting reasonably). If Seller reasonably considers that any changes to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements are required as a result of the Dutch Consultation Procedures, Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith with Seller on such amendments (if any) to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements as are appropriate.

(g) The Parties acknowledge and agree that after the Closing Date the establishment (Betrieb) of the applicable Asset Selling Entity in Germany shall be split into two establishments as soon as possible but not before the Closing Date. The split of the establishment is subject to negotiations with the works council according to Section 111 of the German Works Constitution Act. The Seller shall or shall cause the applicable Asset Selling Entity in Germany, to start negotiations with its works council as soon as possible after the signing of this Agreement. Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall have the right to participate in the negotiations by appointing one representative. The applicable Asset Selling Entity in Germany shall not enter into a so-called reconciliation of interest procedure (Interessenausgleich) without the explicit consent of Purchaser. If there is a time gap between Closing and the split of the establishment (Betriebsspaltung), the establishment will become a joint establishment (Gemeinsamer Betrieb) of the applicable Asset Selling Entity in Germany and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates between Closing and the split of the establishment.

6.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Article VI is solely for the benefit of the Parties and is not intended to confer upon any other Persons (including any Business Employee or any Transferred Employee or any other employee, former employee, participant in any Benefit Plan or any spouse, dependent or other beneficiary thereof) any rights or remedies whatsoever, including any third party beneficiary rights by reason of this Article VI. Nothing in this Article VI, express or implied, shall (i) limit the ability of Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates from terminating the employment of any employee (including any Business Employee or any Transferred Employee) prior to or after the Closing; (ii) be construed to establish, amend or modify any Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, policy, contract or arrangement; or (iii) subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Article VI, limit the ability of Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, policy, contract or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them.

Article VII
TAX MATTERS

7.1 Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (i) ad valorem or similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis of or imposed on the Program Business or the Transferred Assets allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) any other Taxes of the Program Business or the Transferred Assets allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date on a closing of the books basis, provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period.

7.2 Certain Tax Refunds. Seller shall be entitled to the benefit arising from any Excluded Tax Asset and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall claim any such Excluded Tax Asset on any Tax Return for a Post-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that if any such Excluded Tax Asset is not permitted by applicable Law to be claimed on a Tax Return for which Seller has filing responsibility and is permitted by applicable Law to be claimed on a Tax Return for which Purchaser has filing responsibility pursuant to this Section 7.2, then Purchaser shall claim such Excluded Tax Asset and pay to Seller the amount of any such Excluded Tax Asset net of reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining or receiving such Excluded Tax Asset. Any payment of any Excluded Tax Asset shall be made directly to the applicable Asset Selling Entity. To the extent Purchaser is obligated to repay to the relevant Tax Authority any amount paid to Seller or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 7.2, Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser such amount plus, without duplication, any related, penalties or interest imposed by such Tax Authority on Purchaser.

7.3 Tax Proceedings. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller or its designee shall have the right to elect to control at its sole expense any Tax Proceeding on behalf of Seller that relates to any (i) Excluded Tax Liabilities or Excluded Tax Assets on a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or on a Tax Return of Seller, (ii) Excluded Tax Liabilities on a Tax Return for a Post-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, provided that Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant Tax Authority to assert such Excluded Tax Liability on a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or on a Tax Return of Seller and that after such efforts the relevant Tax Authority does not do so, or (iii) Excluded Tax Assets on a Tax Return for a Post-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, provided that Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Excluded Tax Assets to be reflected on a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or on a Tax Return of Seller and such Excluded Tax Assets are so reflected (each, a “Seller Tax Contest”). Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receiving notice from any Tax Authority of the commencement of any Seller Tax Contest, and Purchaser shall take all actions reasonably necessary (including providing a power of attorney) to enable Seller or its designee to exercise its control rights as set forth in this Section 7.3. In the case of any Seller Tax Contest that Seller elects to control and that reasonably would be expected to give rise to any Tax for any Post-Closing Tax Period, Purchaser may participate at its sole expense in such Seller Tax Contest and Seller or its designee shall not settle or compromise such Seller Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the case of any Seller Tax Contest described in (ii) above (other than any Tax Contest relating to a Tax Return of Seller), Purchaser may participate at its sole expense in such Seller Tax Contest. In the case of any Tax Proceeding described in (iii) above but for which such Excluded Tax Assets are not so reflected on a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or on a Tax Return of Seller, Purchaser or its designee shall control at its sole expense any such Tax Proceeding on behalf of Purchaser and will adhere to any reasonable instructions from Seller with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not have the right to control or participate in any Tax Contest relating to a Tax Return of Seller that does not solely relate to the Program Business or the Transferred Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment from a Tax Authority resulting from such Seller Tax Contest attributable to the Transferred Assets or allocable to any Asset Selling Entity and to which Seller or its Affiliates are entitled under this Agreement shall be made directly to the applicable Asset Selling Entity.

7.4 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the other Party to this Agreement such cooperation, documentation and information as either of them reasonably may request in (i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, (ii) determining a liability for Taxes or an indemnity obligation under this Article VII or a right to refund of Taxes, or (iii) conducting any Tax Proceeding. Such cooperation and information shall include providing necessary powers of attorney, copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with all relevant portions of relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Tax Authorities, and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property and other information, which any such Party may possess. Each Party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide an explanation of any documents or information so provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) this Section 7.4 shall not give Purchaser the right to access any Combined Tax Return of Seller or any of its Affiliates and (B) in the case of any dispute between the Parties regarding Tax matters, the normal rules of discovery, and not this Section 7.4 shall apply.

7.5 Tax Treatment of Payments. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law (including pursuant to a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law)), Seller and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) treat any and all payments under this Section 7.5, and Article X as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, it being understood that where such payments relate to an Asset Selling Entity or a Transferred Asset, such adjustment shall apply to the portion of the Purchase Price that is allocated to such Asset Selling Entity or such Transferred Asset pursuant to Section 2.7.

7.6 Transfer Taxes.

(a) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall each bear fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Unless required by the Law of the applicable jurisdiction and as set forth in the Local Purchase Agreement for such jurisdiction, the Party responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other Party. Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes.

(b) Indirect Taxes.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Indirect Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by Seller.

(ii) Purchaser and Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to satisfy all compliance obligations necessary in order to treat any such transfer as a transfer of a going concern for Indirect Tax purposes where permissible under applicable Law. In connection with the foregoing, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to apply for and obtain any available advance ruling through a voluntary notification, ruling request or similar procedure in each relevant material jurisdiction prior to the Closing Date, that such jurisdiction will treat the applicable transfer as a transfer of a going concern for Indirect Tax purposes that is not subject to Indirect Tax.

(iii) To the extent required by applicable Law in any jurisdiction and subject to Section 7.6(b)(ii), Seller shall invoice, collect and pay over any Indirect Taxes required to be collected and paid as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as further described in the terms of any Local Purchase Agreement. Purchaser shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to recover (through credit, offset, refund or otherwise) any Indirect Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby as promptly as possible and shall pay to Seller fifty percent (50%) of any such recovery in cash promptly upon receipt (whether received in the form of cash or as a credit or otherwise).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.6 (i) shall not apply to any Transfer Taxes or Indirect Taxes that arise under the terms of any Ancillary Agreement other than any Local Purchase Agreement and (ii) shall only govern the sharing between the Parties of Transfer Taxes and Indirect Taxes with respect to transactions between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand (and not transactions solely among Buyer and its Affiliates or solely among Seller and its Affiliates). The Parties agree to treat any payments made pursuant to this Section 7.6 as not increasing the Purchase Price for applicable Indirect Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure any such payment in a manner that permits such treatment under applicable Law.

TERMINATION

9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

(b) by either Seller or Purchaser, upon written notice to the other Party, if:

(i) the Closing (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not the French Deferred Closing or the Dutch Deferred Closing) shall not have occurred on or before February 29, 2020 (as such date may be extended pursuant to this Section 9.1(b)(i), the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that if the Burgundy End Date is extended, then either Seller or Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, extend the Outside Date by written notice to the other Party to the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the extended Burgundy End Date; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose failure or whose Affiliate’s failure to perform any covenant or obligation under this Agreement has been the proximate cause of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur on or before the Outside Date;

(ii) if any Order issued, or Law enacted, entered or promulgated, by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction permanently restrains, enjoins or prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and, in the case of an Order, such Order becomes effective and final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b)(ii) shall have used reasonable best efforts (unless another standard of efforts is expressly required by this Agreement, in which case such Party shall have used such other required effort) to remove such Order or other action;

(iii) if Seller is notified by the Director of the Bureau of Competition of the FTC (A) that Purchaser is not an acceptable purchaser of the Transferred Assets hereunder, or (B) that this Agreement is not an acceptable manner of divesting the Transferred Assets (in the case of (B), only after Seller and Purchaser have reasonably sought to modify this Agreement to satisfy FTC staff, consistent with their obligations pursuant to Section 5.3); or

(iv) the Burgundy Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the consummation of the Burgundy Closing.

(c) by Seller, upon written notice to Purchaser, if Purchaser shall have breached or failed to perform, as applicable, any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, and such breach or breaches or failure or failures to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) and (ii) (A) cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date or (B) has not been cured prior to the date that is thirty (30) days from the date that Purchaser is notified by Seller in writing of such breach or breaches or failure or failures to perform; provided, that this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) if Seller is then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach by Seller would cause any condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) not to be satisfied; or

(d) by Purchaser, upon written notice to Seller, if Seller shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, and such breach or breaches or failure or failures to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) and (ii) (A) cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date or (B) has not been cured prior to the date that is thirty (30) days from the date that Seller is notified by Purchaser in writing such breach or breaches or failure or failures to perform; provided, that this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) if Purchaser is then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach by Purchaser would cause any condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) not to be satisfied.

The obligation of the Parties under the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement unchanged. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing herein shall operate to limit the liability of any Party for (a) actual fraud in the making of the representations and warranties made by such Party in Article III or Article IV, as applicable, of this Agreement or (b) a Willful Breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination (including any failure by Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if it is obligated to do so hereunder, which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Willful Breach of a covenant or agreement by Purchaser hereunder). Nothing herein shall limit or prevent any Party from exercising any rights or remedies it may have under Section 11.11.

Article X
INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Survival. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date which is one (1) year following the Closing Date, whereupon they shall terminate and be without any further effect.

No claim for indemnification pursuant Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, as applicable, may be made with respect to any provision of this Agreement following the applicable survival date specified in this Section 10.1, which supersedes any statute of limitations that would otherwise apply; provided, however, that (a) if a proper Notice of Claim is delivered by Purchaser (on behalf of itself or another Purchaser Indemnified Party) or Seller (on behalf of itself or another Seller Indemnified Party), as applicable, prior to the end of such applicable survival period, then such provisions and the claim(s) specified therein shall survive until final resolution thereof in accordance with the terms hereof.

(i) the failure of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Article III to be true and correct at and as of the Closing; provided, that any qualifications as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar materiality qualifications included in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded for purposes of the determination of whether or not such breach has occurred and for purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses subject to indemnification hereunder (it being understood and agreed that any reference as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar materiality qualifications shall be given effect for purposes of the definitions of “Material Adverse Effect”, “Material Contracts” and “Permitted Liens” and the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.4, Section 3.5, Section 3.11(a), the second sentence of Section 3.11(h) and the first sentence of Section 3.12(a));

(ii) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses under Section 10.2(a)(i) until the total amount of Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 10.2(a)(i) (as limited by Section 10.2(b)(i)), exceeds $67,000,000, in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount, subject to the other limitations herein (including Section 10.2(b)(iii)).

(vi) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses under this Article X (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Losses pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (whether in respect of Seller Specified Representations or otherwise)) in the aggregate that are in excess of, and in no event shall the indemnification obligations of Seller under this Article X in the aggregate exceed, an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

10.3 Indemnification by Purchaser.

(a) From and after the Closing, and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including the applicable limitations set forth in this Article X and elsewhere in this Agreement), Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against, and reimburse any Seller Indemnified Party for, all Losses that such Seller Indemnified Party may suffer or incur, or become subject to, without duplication, as a result of:

(i) the failure of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in Article IV to be true and correct at and as of the Closing; provided that for purposes of this Section 10.3(a)(i) any qualifications as to materiality or other similar materiality qualifications included in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded for purposes of the determination of whether or not such breach has occurred and for purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses subject to indemnification hereunder;

(i) The Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover for any particular Loss under Section 10.3(a)(i) that arises from any individual item, occurrence, circumstance, act or omission (or series of related items, occurrences, circumstances, acts or omissions) unless and until the amount of all Losses resulting therefrom exceeds the De Minimis Threshold, nor shall any Losses excluded pursuant to this Section 10.3(b)(i) be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the General Cap has been exceeded in respect of claims made by the Seller Indemnified Parties.

(ii) The Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses under Section 10.3(a)(i) until the total amount of Losses for which the Seller Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 10.3(a)(i) (as limited by Section 10.3(b)(i)), exceeds $67,000,000, in which case the Seller Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount, subject to the other limitations herein (including Section 10.3(b)(iii)).

(iii) The Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses under Section 10.3(a)(i) in excess of the General Cap.

10.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, believes (in good faith) that he, she or it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, as applicable (an “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall provide a Notice of Claim to the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X (such notified party, the “Indemnifying Party”) as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no more than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes actually aware of the circumstances indicating that the Indemnified Party has incurred or could reasonably be expected to incur Losses in respect of which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to timely give notice pursuant to this Section 10.4(a) shall affect the rights of an Indemnified Party hereunder only to the extent that such failure has a prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim. Any such claim for indemnification shall be conclusive against the Indemnifying Party in all respects thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Notice of Claim, unless within such period the Indemnifying Party sends the Indemnified Party a notice disputing such claim (a “Notice of Dispute”). Upon receipt of any Notice of Dispute, both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of such dispute within thirty (30) days of the Indemnified Party receiving the Notice of Dispute from the Indemnifying Party. If a mutually acceptable resolution cannot be reached between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may thereupon proceed to pursue any and all available remedies at Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article X, Purchaser shall act on behalf of all Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 10.4 and Seller shall act on behalf of all Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 10.4.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4(a), if an Action by a Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third-Party Claim”) is commenced against any Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article X, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the failure (in and of itself) to give such Notice of Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Claim to which such Third-Party Claim relates to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (it being understood and agreed that, the law firms listed in the notice provisions hereof (and their affiliates) shall be deemed to be reasonably acceptable) and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith (it being acknowledged and agreed that upon such assumption of conduct and control, the Indemnifying Party, and not the Indemnified Party, shall, subject to clauses (i) through (iv) below, have the exclusive right to settle and defend such Action); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not settle any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if any such settlement (i) results in non-monetary damages, (ii) contains an admission of wrongdoing or liability on behalf of any Indemnified Party, (iii) provides that an Indemnified Party is required to (A) take or refrain from taking any material action that would, in the absence of taking or refraining to take such action, adversely affect such Indemnified Party, (B) acknowledge any material rights of the Person making the Third-Party Claim that would adversely affect such Indemnified Party or (C) waive any material rights that such Indemnified Party may have against such Person making the Third-Party Claim or (iv) does not include a legally binding, unconditional and irrevocable full release of the Indemnified Party by the Person bringing such Third-Party Claim from any obligations or liabilities it may have with respect to the Third-Party Claim; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party (and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party). If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s Notice of Claim hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim and shall not waive any right to indemnity pursuant to this Agreement for any Losses related thereto. The Indemnified Party shall in no event settle or compromise (or consent to the settlement or compromise of) any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless it, as a condition precedent to such payment or settlement, waives any right to indemnity by the Indemnifying Party for all Losses related to such Third-Party Claim.

100

(c) The Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, and Purchaser shall (and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to) furnish such books, records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

10.5 Exclusive Remedies.

(a) Following the Closing, neither Party shall assert against the other Party any claim, cause of action, right or remedy relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, other than (i) claims, causes of action, rights or remedies pursuant to this Article X or Article VII (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations hereof and thereof), (ii) claims, causes of action, rights or remedies on the basis that a Party has committed actual fraud in the making of the representations and warranties made by such Party in Article III or Article IV, as applicable, of this Agreement, (iii) claims, causes of action, rights or remedies pursuant to Section 11.11 with respect to covenants, agreements or obligations to be performed at or after the Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to execute and deliver, or perform or take any actions under, the IP Assignment Agreement, and, if the Dutch Consultation Procedures are not completed at or prior to the Closing as provided in Section 2.12(b), claims to specifically enforce the Dutch Deferred Closing on the terms and subject to the conditions herein) and (iv) claims pursuant to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, the Supply Agreement, the Toll Manufacturing Agreement, the Quality Agreement, the Intellectual Property Agreement, the Guarantee and, if the French Put Option Exercise has not occurred on or prior to the Closing, claims pursuant to the French Put Option Agreement to specifically enforce the French Deferred Closing (to the extent required to occur on the terms and subject to the conditions herein and therein) (clauses (i) through (iv), the “Post-Closing Permitted Claims”). Following the Closing, the Post-Closing Permitted Claims shall constitute the sole and exclusive claims, causes of action, rights and remedies available to the Indemnified Parties for any and all Losses or other claims, causes of action, rights or remedies relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, and shall supersede all other claims, causes of action, rights or remedies available at law or in equity (including any right of rescission). Accordingly, effective as of the Closing, each Party hereby irrevocably waives and discharges, and releases each other Party, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, from, all claims, causes of action, rights or remedies relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith (including the Ancillary Agreements) (including with respect to any matters arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, or any other environmental matters), other than the Post-Closing Permitted Claims.

101

(b) In addition to the provisions set forth in Section 10.5(a), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (but subject to the final sentence of this Section 10.5(b)), this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action and Actions that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be made against, the Parties, and no former, current or future Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, attorneys, accountants, agents, Representatives or employees of any Party, or any heirs, successors or permitted assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Party”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of such Party or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based upon, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in respect of any representations and warranties made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Without limiting the rights of any Party against the other Party, in no event shall any Party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement, or assert any claims or causes of action based on, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, against any Non-Party, in each case subject to the final sentence of this Section 10.5(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.5(b) shall preclude any party to any Ancillary Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, from making any claim thereunder or, if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, to the extent permitted therein and to the extent permitted by Section 9.2 or, if the Closing occurs, Section 10.5(a).

10.6 Additional Indemnification Provisions.

(a) With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement:

(i) all Losses shall be net of any amounts that have been recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any third party or any insurance policy or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement in respect of such Loss (after deducting therefrom (A) the amount of the reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in procuring such recovery and (B) in the case of an insurance policy, any actual increases in premiums of such policies as a result of such recovery);

(ii) Seller shall not be liable for any Losses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party to the extent that such Losses relate to Taxes for or attributable to any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date or, with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date; and

(iii) Seller shall not be liable for any Losses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and Purchaser shall not be liable for any Losses suffered by any Seller Indemnified Party, in each case, to the extent that such Losses result from any act or omission by such Indemnified Party.

102

(b) In any case where the Indemnified Party (or their Affiliates) recovers pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any third party or any insurance policy or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement any amount not previously taken into account in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was indemnified pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, as applicable, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered or realized (after deducting therefrom the amount of the reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in procuring such recovery or realization, including, in the case of an insurance policy, any actual increases in premiums as a result of such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, as applicable, to or on behalf of such Indemnified Party in respect of such matter and (ii) any amount expended by Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

(c) Neither the Purchaser Indemnified Parties nor the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for the same Loss more than once under this Article X or otherwise under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement even if a claim for indemnification or otherwise in respect of such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one covenant, agreement or representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

10.7 Mitigation. Each Party shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates and Representatives to, take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any fact, event, circumstance or condition that has given rise to or would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any Losses for which it would have the right to seek indemnification hereunder.

10.8 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall either Party have any liability under this Article X for any punitive damages (other than those paid to a third party in connection with any Third-Party Claim), or any Losses that are calculated based on any valuation multiple of revenue or income as the result of a breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

10.9 Manner of Payments and Tax Treatment of Payments.

(a) Any indemnification of a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Seller to an account designated in writing by Purchaser (on behalf of any such Purchaser Indemnified Parties) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof.

(b) Any indemnification of a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Purchaser to an account designated in writing by Seller (on behalf of any such Seller Indemnified Party) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof.

103

(c) Seller and Purchaser shall treat any adjustments or indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless applicable Tax Law causes such payment not to be so treated.

11.2 Headings; Definitions. The section and article headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

11.3 Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement, and all Actions based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules or principles that would result in the application of the law of any other state.

104

(b) Each of the Parties (i) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process with respect to any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, on behalf of itself or its property, in accordance with Section 11.7, and (ii) subject to Section 11.3(c) below, (A) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its property with respect to any such Action to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (B) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such Chosen Court, (C) irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Chosen Courts, (D) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such Chosen Court or that any such Action was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same and (E) agrees that it shall not bring any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the aforesaid Chosen Courts. Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees that a final judgment in any Action in such Chosen Court as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

(c) If, and only if, the Chosen Courts would not have jurisdiction over all or any portion of an Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (all or such portion of an Action that the Chosen Courts would not have jurisdiction over, an “Arbitration Action”), the Parties agree that the Arbitration Action will be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted under the then current rules for non-administered arbitration of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”, such rules the “CPR Rules”). Any Arbitration Action shall, upon twenty (20) days written notice to the other party (an “Arbitration Notice”), be submitted to CPR arbitration conducted before a panel of three arbitrators in New York, New York. In connection with an Arbitration Action, Seller and Purchaser will each promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) days) after an Arbitration Notice appoint one arbitrator (the “Party-Appointed Arbitrators”), and the Party-Appointed Arbitrators will appoint the third and presiding arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator; provided, that, (i) any arbitrator not timely appointed herein will be appointed under the CPR Rules upon the written demand of any Party to the Arbitration Action, and (ii) each such arbitrator must be (A) an attorney with significant experience in negotiating complex commercial transactions or a judge seated on, or retired from, a U.S. federal court sitting in the Southern District of New York or the Delaware Court of Chancery and (B) neutral and independent of each Party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.3(c) shall prevent either Party from seeking interim injunctive relief in the Chosen Court to prevent irreparable injury pending appointment of the arbitrators pursuant to this Section 11.3(c). The arbitrators may enter a default decision against any Party who fails to participate in the arbitration proceedings with respect to any Arbitration Action. The decision of the arbitrators on the points in dispute will be final, unappealable and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrators will only be authorized to interpret the provisions of this Agreement, and will not amend, change or add to any such provisions. The Parties and the arbitrators will keep confidential, and will not disclose to any Person, except the Parties’ respective Representatives, or as may be required by applicable Law or any Order of a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction, the existence of any Arbitration Action under this Section 11.3(c), the referral of any such Arbitration Action to arbitration or the status or resolution thereof. The initiation of any Arbitration Action pursuant to this Section 11.3(c) will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such Arbitration Action.

105

(d) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.3(d).

11.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any prior discussions, correspondence, negotiations, proposed term sheet, agreement, understanding or arrangement, and there are no agreements, understandings, representations or warranties between the Parties other than those set forth or referred to in this Agreement.

106

11.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.5, except for Section 10.2 and 10.3, which are intended to benefit, and to be enforceable by, the Persons specified therein, this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, is not intended to confer on or on behalf of any Person not a party to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any rights, benefits, causes of action or remedies with respect to the subject matter or any provision hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) the Parties shall not (i) modify or amend this Agreement or waive compliance with any term or provision of this Agreement in a manner that could reasonably be expected to (A) adversely affect Burgundy’s ownership of Seller and its Subsidiaries after the Burgundy Closing or any of the businesses of Burgundy, Seller and their respective Affiliates (other than the Program Business) after the Closing, in each case, in any material respect or (B) result in material additional liabilities or obligations of Seller, Burgundy or any of their respective Affiliates after the Burgundy Closing, except, for the avoidance of doubt, those obligations and liabilities contemplated by this Agreement (as in effect as of the date hereof) and the Ancillary Agreements (substantially in the forms contemplated as of the date hereof and with such modifications or changes expressly contemplated by this Agreement), or (ii) modify or amend or waive compliance with this Section 11.5 or any of the conditions to Closing contained in Section 8.1, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), without the prior written consent of Burgundy, and (b) without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding clause (a), Burgundy shall be an express third party beneficiary of (i) each of the covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement that apply or are to be performed in whole or in part prior to the Closing, and (ii) Section 3.20, Section 4.8, this Section 11.5, and each of Article I and Article XI to the extent related to any of the foregoing (including, without limiting any other rights or remedies at Law or otherwise, the right to specifically enforce any of the foregoing pursuant to Section 11.11, which shall apply to Burgundy, mutatis mutandis, as if a party hereto).

11.6 Expenses. Except as set forth in this Agreement, whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or not, all legal and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses unless expressly otherwise contemplated in this Agreement.

11.7 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by facsimile (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof), e-mail (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof), or upon delivery by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the other Party as follows:

11.8 Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Party to this Agreement may directly or indirectly assign any or all of its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other Party to this Agreement, except that either Seller or Purchaser may assign its rights or obligations hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates without consent of the other Party, provided, that (i) any such assignment of obligations shall only be effective to the extent actually performed by such Affiliate and (ii) no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement unless and to the extent actually performed. Any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement not effected in accordance with this Section 11.8 shall be null and void.

11.9 Amendments and Waivers. Subject to Section 11.5, this Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such modification or amendment is sought. Subject to Section 11.5, either Party to this Agreement may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by the other Party to this Agreement with any term or provision of this Agreement on the part of such other Party to this Agreement to be performed or complied with. The waiver by any Party to this Agreement of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

11.10 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

11.11 Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions; (ii) the Parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof; (iii) the provisions of Section 9.2 are not intended to and do not adequately compensate Seller for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement, and will not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief; and (iv) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither Seller nor Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties agree not to raise any objections to (A) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand; and (B) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of Purchaser or Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. The Parties further agree that (1) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 11.11, 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, and (2) nothing set forth in this Section 11.11 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 11.11 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article IX (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Action pursuant to this Section 11.11 or anything set forth in this Section 11.11 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article IX or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

109

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if prior to the Outside Date any Party initiates an Action to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then the Outside Date will be automatically extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Action is pending plus twenty (20) Business Days; or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

11.12 Bulk Sale Laws. Purchaser hereby waives compliance by Seller and its Affiliates, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, with the provisions of Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable bulk sales or bulk transfer or similar Law.

11.13 Further Assurances. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.13, from time to time following the Closing, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, from time to time at the request of another Party, without any additional consideration, furnish such requesting Party such further information or assurances, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments and conveyances, and take such other actions and do such other things, in each case, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including to vest in Purchaser good and valid title to the Transferred Assets, to cause the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Purchaser and to cause the retention of the Excluded Liabilities by Seller and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.13 shall not affect, limit, expand or modify any other covenant or agreement contained herein and in the event this Section 11.13 conflicts with any other covenant or agreement contained in Article V, Article VI, Article VII or otherwise in this Agreement, such other covenant or agreement shall govern and control to the extent of such conflict.

110

11.14 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by either of the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or e-mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed and delivered (by electronic communication, facsimile or otherwise) by all of the other Parties hereto. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect, and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

11.15 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules, or documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Any item disclosed in any section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule corresponding to any section or subsection of Article III or Article IV, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other section and subsection of Article III or Article IV, as applicable, if the relevance of such disclosure to such other section or subsection is reasonably apparent on its face (based on the description thereof in the applicable Schedule). The specification of any dollar amount in the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule or any other Schedule to this Agreement is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. The disclosure with respect to any agreement, contract or other document referred to in the Schedules (including in any section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule) shall be qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms thereof only and to the extent that such agreement, contract or other document has been provided to Purchaser at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the date hereof. The Schedules (including the Seller Disclosure Schedule and the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule) and the information and statements contained therein are not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations of any Parties except as and to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, nor shall they be taken as extending the scope of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set out in this Agreement. Any capitalized term used in any Exhibit or Schedule but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning given to such term in this Agreement.

11.16 Consent Order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the terms and provisions of the Consent Order shall supersede this Agreement, (b) the terms and provisions of the Consent Order that pertain to this Agreement are hereby deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement and (c) to the extent that any term or provision of this Agreement conflicts with any directly corresponding term or provision of the Consent Order, the terms or provisions of the Consent Order shall control the rights and obligations of the Parties.

11.17 Right to Rescind and Modify if Ordered by the FTC. At the time the Consent Order becomes final, if Seller is notified by the Director of the Bureau of Competition of the FTC that Purchaser is not an acceptable purchaser of the Transferred Assets hereunder, then each of Seller and Purchaser shall have the right immediately to rescind this Agreement, and the termination provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable as if a termination of this Agreement has occurred pursuant to Section 9.1. Furthermore, subject to Section 5.3(i), at the time the Consent Order becomes final, if the Director of the Bureau of Competition of the FTC notifies Seller that Purchaser is an acceptable purchaser of the Transferred Assets hereunder, but this Agreement is not an acceptable manner of divesting the Transferred Assets, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably seek to modify this Agreement as may be necessary to satisfy the Director of the Bureau of Competition of the FTC.
