(b)      If Seller does not object to the Buyer’s Proposed Calculations by written notice of objection (the “ Notice of Objection ”) delivered to Buyer within 30 days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Proposed Calculations, the calculation of the Closing Working Capital Adjustment and the Purchase Price Adjustment pursuant to Buyer’s Proposed Calculations shall be deemed final and binding. A Notice of Objection under this Section 2.6(b) shall set forth in reasonable detail Seller’s alternative calculations of the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Working Capital Adjustment, and the Purchase Price Adjustment, in each case calculated based on such amounts.

(c)      If Seller delivers a Notice of Objection to Buyer within the 30-day period referred to in Section 2.6(b) , then any element of Buyer’s Proposed Calculations that is not in dispute on the date such Notice of Objection is given shall be treated as final and binding and any dispute (all such amounts, the “ Disputed Amounts ”) shall be resolved as set forth in this Section 2.6(c) :

(i)      Seller and Buyer shall promptly endeavor in good faith to resolve the Disputed Amounts listed in the Notice of Objection.

(iv)      If Seller and Buyer submit any Disputed Amounts to the Arbitrator for resolution, Seller and Buyer shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 2.6(c) . Seller shall be responsible for that fraction of the fees and costs of the Arbitrator where (x) the numerator is the absolute value of the difference between Seller’s position with respect to the Purchase Price Adjustment and the Purchase Price Adjustment as calculated based on the Arbitrator’s final determination with respect to the Disputed Amounts and (y) the denominator is the absolute value of the difference between Seller’s position with respect to the Purchase Price Adjustment and Buyer’s position with respect to the Purchase Price Adjustment, and Buyer shall be responsible for the remainder of such fees and costs.

(d)      The term “ Final Purchase Price Adjustment ” means the final and binding Purchase Price Adjustment calculated pursuant to Section 2.6(b) or 2.6(c) , as the case may be. The term “ Final Purchase Price ” means the Initial Purchase Price, plus the Final Purchase Price Adjustment, if such amount is a positive number, or minus the absolute value of the Final Purchase Price Adjustment, if such amount is a negative number. The Final Purchase Price Adjustment shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for federal, state, territory, local and foreign income Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(i)      If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Initial Purchase Price, then Buyer shall pay to Seller for the account of Seller the difference between the Final Purchase Price and the Initial Purchase Price within three Business Days of the determination of the Final Purchase Price, such amount to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller in writing to Buyer promptly after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price.

(ii)      If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Initial Purchase Price, then Seller shall pay to Buyer for the account of Buyer the difference between the Initial Purchase Price and the Final Purchase Price within three Business Days of the determination of the Final Purchase Price, such amount to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer in writing to Seller promptly after the determination of the Final Purchase Price.

In the event that any amount is so deducted and withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom the payment from which such amounts were withheld was made. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and its Affiliates shall have no obligation hereunder to indemnify Seller or its Affiliates in respect of, or otherwise directly or indirectly bear (for example, by a gross-up of the purchase price), any Taxes described in this Section 2.8 .

benefits of the Product License in the conduct of the Business so long as Buyer continues to sell Products with respect to the Product Registrations.

(b)      If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided , however , that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim (A) for equitable or injunctive relief (other than equitable claims that are ancillary to a claim for monetary damages) or any claim that would impose criminal liability on the Indemnitee, (B) that alleges Losses in excess of the Indemnitor’s maximum indemnification obligations under this Agreement and the Indemnitee believes in good faith that such allegation would be reasonably likely to lead to Losses in excess of the Indemnitor’s maximum indemnification obligation or (C) with respect to which the Indemnitee has been advised by outside legal counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend, at the expense of the Indemnitor, any such Third-Party Claim, with the amounts thereof to be treated as Losses subject to this Article X . Following the Indemnitor’s assumption of the defense of any Third-Party Claim, if the Indemnitor denies its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for such Third-Party Claim, such Indemnitor shall

have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. Should an Indemnitor be entitled to and so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, for so long as the Indemnitor remains entitled to maintain the assumption of the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for legal expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor, it being understood, however, that the Indemnitor shall control such defense. The fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period between the date on which the Indemnitee has given notice of such Third-Party Claim to Indemnitor until (if applicable) the date on which the Indemnitor has assumed the defense thereof shall be treated as Losses subject to this Article X . If the Indemnitor chooses to defend any Third-Party Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third-Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnitor’s request) the provision to the Indemnitor of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees and other representatives and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third-Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves a finding or admission of guilt, (ii) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim or (iii) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnitee other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnitee will be indemnified hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to a Third-Party Claim relating to Taxes without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). If the Indemnitee gives an Indemnitor notice of a Third-Party Claim and the Indemnitor does not assume such defense, then the Indemnitee may conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided , however , that the Indemnitee will not agree to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

10.5      Net Losses . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses for which an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification under this Article X shall be reduced to the extent of any insurance proceeds which the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates actually receives with respect to such Losses (including those from affiliated insurance companies), net of any costs of collection. If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by an Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Losses after payment has been made to the Indemnified

Party with respect thereto, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay back, or cause its appropriate Affiliates to pay back, the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries (up to the amount of received by the Indemnitee with respect to such Losses).

10.6      Consequential, Punitive and Certain Other Damages . No Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any (i) special, punitive or exemplary damages, (ii) any loss of enterprise value, diminution in value of any business, damage to reputation, loss relating to business interruption or lost opportunity or loss of goodwill or (iii) any lost profits, consequential, indirect or incidental damages.

This Agreement may not be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that , without such consent, Buyer may transfer or assign this Agreement, in whole or in part or from time to time, to one or more of its Affiliates, but no such transfer or assignment will relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective executors, heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

11.5      Governing Law . This Agreement and Schedules hereto shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Laws rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

11.6      Consent to Jurisdiction . Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware), for the purposes of any Action arising out of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and agrees to commence any such Action only in such courts. Each party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any such Action. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in such courts, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees

not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATED AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF.

11.12      Specific Performance . Buyer and Seller each agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not

performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof and that each party shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at Law or equity. For the avoidance of doubt, while Buyer and Seller may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with this Section 11.12 and the payment of any damages under Section 9.3 , under no circumstances shall Buyer or Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both (A) a grant of specific performance that results in a Closing (and the payment of any fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Buyer or Seller or any of their Affiliates in connection with Buyer’s or Seller’s pursuance of such grant of specific performance, which the other party hereto shall pay if specific performance is actually granted in accordance with this Section 11.12 ) and (B) damages under Section 9.3 .
