Each Milestone Payment set forth in this Section 3.01(b) is payable only once (i.e., the first time the Milestone Event is achieved) and is non-refundable once paid. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of Net Sales shall be cumulative of all countries in the Territory.

(ii)Quarterly Earn-Out Payments shall be paid pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(i) as from the Closing and until the earlier to occur of, with respect to each Product in each Territory, [***] (the “Earn-Out Term”), subject to 3.01(c)(iii) below. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall be liable to make Quarterly Earn-Out Payments pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(i) for the Quarter during which such event terminating the obligation to make such Quarterly Earn-Out Payment occurs as long as the Product is sold during such Quarter.
(iii)For the avoidance of doubt, following the Closing, additional strengths of a Product (whether or not such Product is associated with the Acquired Regulatory Approval) shall not be considered an additional “Product” for the purposes of calculating Quarterly Earn-Out Payments, provided, however that (i) the Migraine Indication and Acute Pain Indication shall be considered separate Products, and the Earn-Out Term for each such Product shall run separately and (ii) all indications other than the Migraine Indication and Acute Pain Indication shall only be considered separate Products if marketing of such Product is based on a new Regulatory Approval that is not an amendment or supplement to an existing Regulatory Approval. The Earn-Out Term for Products embodying such additional indications (other than the Acute Pain Indication) or additional strength shall run with the underlying Product from which such additional indication (other than the Acute Pain Indication) or additional strength is derived.
(iv)Blended Rate. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, the Quarterly Earn-Out Rates agreed upon by the Parties for the Product(s) have been blended to take into consideration, the Quarterly Earn-Out Rate that [***]. The Parties recognize that the differing the Quarterly Earn-Out Rate that could apply to such period would last for differing time periods. Therefore the Parties have determined to use the blended Quarterly Earn-Out Rate in this Agreement for reasons of convenience, and the use of such blended rates during a single term is advantageous to both Parties.
(v)For the purposes of calculating Net Sales with respect to Quarterly Earn-Out Payments and Milestone Events in countries and/or jurisdictions within the Territory other than the United States, the rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in United States Dollars shall be made at the exchange rate as published by the Wall Street Journal for the last Business Day of such applicable Quarter

The Purchaser shall provide a notice to the Seller of the occurrence of the Milestone Event set forth in Section 3.01(b)(i) prior to, or no later than on, the date of the payment of the corresponding Milestone Payment.
(iii)Each of the Quarterly Earn-Out Payments due and payable under Section 3.01(c) shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller promptly, but no more than (A) [***] following the end of the Quarter to which they relate to, other than with respect to any Quarter ending on December 31, and (B) for each Quarter ended December 31, [***] following the end of each such Quarter. The Purchaser shall provide a notice to the Seller prior to, or no later than on, the date such of payment, which notice shall provide sufficient details to permit confirmation by the Seller of the accuracy of the payments made.
(iv)Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Purchaser. If the Seller is eligible for benefits under the Tax Treaty (or any applicable tax treaty), the withholding tax rate applicable will be the withholding tax rate prescribed under such Tax Treaty. The Parties agree that (i) no withholding tax shall apply for Upfront Payment and Milestone No. 1 and (ii) the maximum withholding tax, as of the Closing, is fifteen percent (15%), unless required by a change in applicable Law and provided a W8 BEN claiming such rate is provided. Following the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a properly completed and validly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E. The Parties shall provide each other with any other tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Purchaser not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty (including the Tax Treaty) a reasonable time prior to the date the applicable payment is due. Purchaser shall provide Seller with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by applicable Law, of withholding taxes, value added taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of Purchaser.
9


(b)Mode of Payment. All payments to the Seller under this Agreement shall be made by way of direct wire transfer of immediately available funds, in Dollars, in the requisite amount to such bank account as the Seller may from time to time designate by notice to the Purchaser.

The Parties hereto agree to reasonably cooperate with each other to claim any applicable exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable Transfer Taxes.
Section 3.3Additional Covenants relating to the Milestone Payments and Quarterly Earn-Out Payments.
(a)From the Closing and during the applicable Earn-Out Term for the Product in the Migraine Indication, the Purchaser and its Affiliates (or their permitted transferees, licensees or sublicensees) shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in order to commercialize the Product in the Migraine Indication in each country within the Territory.
(b)From and after the [***] of the launch of the Product in the Migraine Indication in the United States, Purchaser shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop, obtain Regulatory Approval, and launch, commercialize, sell and market the Product in the Acute Pain Indication in each country within the Territory during the Earn-Out Term for such Product. Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly, in writing, upon making any determination that it is no longer Commercially Reasonable to develop, obtain Regulatory Approval, launch or commercialize the Product in the Acute Pain Indication in either or both of the United States or Canada. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to launch the Product in the Migraine Indication in the United States on or before [***] anniversary of the Closing.
(c)The Purchaser shall not fail to take, or take, any actions where the primary intent of such action or inaction is to avoid the achievement of any of the Milestone Events or Quarterly Earn-Out Payments or to reduce the amount of any of the Quarterly Earn-Out Payments, including, without limitation, intentionally delaying sales or incentivizing customers to delay placing orders.
(d)The Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, permitted transferees, licensees and sublicensees to keep reasonable, correct and complete books, records and documents (whether in hardcopy, electronic or other form) substantiating the achievement (or non-achievement) of the Milestone Event set forth in Section 3.01(b)(i) and the Net Sales amounts recognized in each Calendar Year for the Product in each country of the Territory, as related to the Quarterly Earn-Out Payments (the “Milestone and Earn-Out Information”) and shall maintain such Milestone and Earn-Out Information until [***] following the end of the Calendar Year to which such Milestone and Earn-Out Information relates.
10


(e)Until the first Calendar Year following the Calendar Year in which the Earn-Out Term expires, the Purchaser shall provide the Seller, (A) on a Quarterly basis, not later than [***] after the end of each Quarter, an estimate of the aggregate gross sales and Net Sales of the Product in each country of the Territory for such Quarter; and (B) (i) on a Quarterly basis, not later than [***] after the end of each Quarter other than the Quarter ended December 31, and [***] after the end of each Quarter ended December 31, the Quarterly Sales Reports; and (ii) on an annual basis, not later than [***] after the end of each Calendar Year, the annual Sales Report. “Sales Reports” shall mean reasonably detailed Quarterly and annual reports of the aggregate gross sales and Net Sales of the Product in each country of the Territory, for such Quarter or Calendar Year, as applicable. All Sales Reports shall also include separate line items for the gross sales and the Net Sales of the Product, in each case per country of the Territory. The expiration of the Purchaser’s obligation to provide Sales Reports to the Seller under this Section 3.03(e) shall not be deemed a waiver of any obligation to pay any Milestone Payments if and when they become payable.
(f)From the Closing until the expiration of the Earn-Out Term, Purchaser shall maintain complete and accurate books, records and documents (whether in hardcopy, electronic or other form) in sufficient detail to permit the verification of Purchaser’s compliance with its obligations under Section 3.01(b), Section 3.01(c), and Section 3.03(d) and the Sales Reports (the “Books and Records”). Once every [***] upon no less than [***] written notice and during normal business hours, the Books and Records shall be open for examination by an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Purchaser for the sole purpose of verifying Purchaser’s compliance with its obligations under Section 3.01(b), Section 3.01(c), and Section 3.03(d) and the Sales Reports. Any such auditor shall not disclose Purchaser’s confidential information to Seller, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify Purchaser’s compliance with its obligations under Section 3.01(b), Section 3.01(c) and Section 3.03(d) and the Sales Reports. All expenses and costs associated with the review and audit in this Section 3.03(f) shall be borne solely by the Seller; provided that in the event that such review and audit results in a finding and determination that a Milestone Payment or Quarterly Earn-Out Payment payable was not otherwise paid or that the amount paid was lower by more than [***] than the amount that should have been paid, then the expenses and costs of such review and audit (including reasonable attorney’s fees) shall be borne and paid by the Purchaser. All amounts due to the Seller as shown by the audit (that have not been previously paid by Purchaser to Seller) shall be paid within [***] following the receipt by Purchaser of a copy of the final audit report. Purchaser will use best efforts to include in all sublicenses granted with respect to the Product, an audit provision substantially similar to the foregoing requiring such sublicensee to keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Product and granting Seller the right to audit the accuracy of the information reported by any sublicensee in connection therewith in accordance with terms and conditions substantially similar to those provided in this Section above.
(g)From the Closing until the Seller has received all Milestone Payments and Quarterly Earn-Out Payments, the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not without the prior written consent of the Seller, sell, assign, exclusively license or otherwise transfer ownership of any of the Purchased Assets to any Person; provided that, (i) such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided, that all transferees of any such rights and/or

The Purchaser shall periodically inform the Seller of all material steps with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Product Patents (including any pending applications included in a Product Patent) in the Territory, including by providing the Seller with a copy of material communications to and from any patent authority regarding such Product Patents and by providing the Seller drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities sufficiently in advance of submitting such filings or responses so as to allow for a reasonable opportunity for the Seller to review and comment thereon. The Purchaser shall consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of the Seller with respect to such drafts and with respect to strategies for filing and prosecuting such Product Patents.
(b)Any recovery realized because of litigation of the Product Patents or Product (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be first allocated to reimburse Purchaser and Seller for their direct and out of pocket costs and expenses in making such recovery (which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality of such expenses). Any remainder after such reimbursement is made shall be retained by Purchaser and deemed Net Sales for purposes of calculating Quarterly Earn-Out Payments and Milestone Events.
(c)Seller hereby assigns to Purchaser the right solely to file non-provisional applications in the Territory claiming priority to the US Provisional Patent Application No. US63/131,172, and hereby assigns all right, title and interest in all such non-provisional applications in the Territory and all patents issuing therefrom in the Territory. The Parties agree that the Seller retains title and ownership of US Provisional Patent Application No. US63/131,172 for the sole purpose of filing non-provisional applications in the Retained Territory claiming priority to the US Provisional Patent Application No. US63/131,172, and that the Seller retains all right, title and interest in all such non-provisional applications in the Retained Territory and all patents issuing therefrom in the Retained Territory. Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, use or practice US Provisional Patent Application No. US63/131,172 or the subject matter thereof in or for the Territory (except that the grant herein shall not prevent the Seller, its Affiliates or their respective licensees and sublicenses, from manufacturing or having manufactured Product in the Territory for commercial sale in the Retained Territory). The Parties agree to cooperate to take reasonable actions (including executing any relevant documents or notices) in order to enable Purchaser to file any such applications in the Territory and to enable Seller to file any such applications in the Retained Territory.

(d)Each Party shall periodically inform the other Party hereto of all material steps with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of non-provisional applications filed by or on behalf of such Party based on US Provisional Patent Application No. US63/131,172 in its respective territories, including by providing such other Party with a copy of material communications to and from any patent authority regarding such non-provisional applications filed based on US Provisional Patent Application No. US63/131,172 and by providing the other Party drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities sufficiently in advance of submitting such filings or responses so as to allow for a reasonable opportunity for such other Party to review and comment thereon. The filing Party shall consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of the other Party with respect to such drafts and with respect to strategies for filing and prosecuting such non-provisional applications filed based on US Provisional Patent Application No. US63/131,172.

Each Party shall provide the other Party with information in the possession and control of such Party as necessary for the other Party to comply with its pharmacovigilance responsibilities in respect of the Product, in each case, in the form reasonably requested by the other Party. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the pharmacovigilance agreement and the provisions of this Agreement, the wording of the pharmacovigilance agreement shall govern any and all patient safety matters, and this Agreement shall govern all other matters.

Section 9.4Notice of Direct Claims.
(a)If any of the Persons to be indemnified under this ARTICLE IX (the “Indemnified Party”) has suffered or incurred any Loss subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE IX that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall so notify the Party responsible for providing indemnification therefor under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly in a writing describing such Loss, the basis for indemnification hereunder, the amount or estimated amount of such Loss, if known or reasonably capable of estimation, and the method of computation of such Loss, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 9.04(a) (so long as a notice pursuant to this Section 9.04(a) is given before the expiration of the applicable period set forth in Section 9.01) shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE IX, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by failure to give such notice in a timely manner.
(b)Except when a notice, report or other filing must be filed immediately pursuant to applicable Law, the Purchaser shall provide notice and an opportunity to comment to the Seller before the Purchaser files any report, notification or filing with any Governmental Authority or Third Party in connection with an event that would be reasonably likely to result in a Loss subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 9.02. In the event the Purchaser is required to file such a report, notification or filing immediately, the Purchaser shall provide simultaneous notice to the Seller when it submits such report, notification or filing to the applicable Governmental Authority.

Section 9.5Third Party Claims.
(a)If any Legal Proceeding is instituted by or against a Third Party with respect to which the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity under this ARTICLE IX (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim (such notice describing, to the extent practicable, such matter in reasonable detail and such being accompanied by a copy of any written notice of the Third Party claimant to the Indemnified Party asserting the Third Party Claim) and tender to the Indemnifying Party the conduct or defense of such Third Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 9.05(a) (so long as a notice pursuant to this Section 9.05(a) that includes any written notice of the Third Party claimant is given before the expiration of the applicable period set forth in Section 9.01) and to tender the conduct or defense of the Third Party Claim in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 9.05(a) shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE IX, except (i) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby, and (ii) to the extent expenses are incurred during the period in which notice was not provided.
(b)The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim (such election to be without prejudice to the right of the Indemnifying Party to dispute whether such claim is an indemnifiable Loss under this ARTICLE IX), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, in all appropriate proceedings, to a final conclusion or settlement at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 9.05(b). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement agreement without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent shall not be required if (i) the settlement agreement contains a complete and unconditional general release by the Third Party asserting the Third Party Claim to all Indemnified Parties affected by the claim and (ii) the settlement agreement does not contain any sanction or restriction upon the conduct or operation of any business by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.05(b), and the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.
(c)If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.05(b) within [***] after receipt of any notice issued pursuant to Section 9.05(a), then the Indemnified Party shall defend, and be reimbursed for its reasonable cost and expense (but only if the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder) in regard to the Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, in all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnified Party. In such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall defend any such Third Party Claim in good faith and have full control of such defense
30


and proceedings; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.05(c), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation; provided, however, if at any time the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing that such Third Party Claim is an indemnifiable Loss under this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.05(b).
(d)If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder), to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including providing access to documents, records and information. In addition, the Indemnified Party will make its personnel available at no cost to the Indemnifying Party for conferences, discovery, proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may be reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party also agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the making of any related counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim or any cross complaint against any Person and executing powers of attorney to the extent necessary.
Section 9.6Limitations on Indemnification; Limitations on Liability.
(a)Notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE IX, other than claims for Losses arising out of, or caused by or relating to fraud, the Seller shall not be liable to provide indemnification for any Losses arising from or in connection with matters described under Section 9.02 suffered by any Indemnified Party unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses suffered by the Indemnified Parties exceeds, on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to [***] (the “Indemnity Threshold”), and then the Seller shall only be liable to provide indemnification to the extent exceeding the Indemnity Threshold. No Losses shall be included in determining whether the Indemnity Threshold has been reached unless a notice seeking indemnification for such Losses has been given by the Purchaser Group to the Seller in accordance with Section 9.04(a) or Section 9.05(a), as applicable.
(b)Other than claims for Losses arising out of, or caused by or relating to fraud, in no event shall the Seller be liable to provide indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE IX for Losses arising from or in connection with matters described under Section 9.02(a) in the aggregate in excess of an amount equal [***] (the “Cap”) that has been actually paid by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to breaches by Seller of Section 5.01 [***] the Cap shall be an amount [***].

FOR, MEASURED BY OR BASED ON LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE OR INCOME, DIMINUTION IN VALUE, MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS, PROFITS OR CASH FLOWS, OR OTHER SIMILAR MEASURES OR FOR ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY THAT ARISES OUT OF OR RELATES TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OF ANY LIABILITY RETAINED OR ASSUMED HEREUNDER, PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY RIGHT TO INDEMNITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR SIMILAR ITEMS PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES PURSUANT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED TO SUCH THIRD PARTY.
Section 9.8Purchaser’s Opportunity to Review. The Purchaser acknowledges that it and its representatives have received or been afforded the opportunity to review prior to the Effective Date all written materials furnished or made available, as the case may be, to the Purchaser on or prior to the Effective Date in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser acknowledges that it and its Affiliates and representatives have been permitted full and complete access to the books and records, and other assets related to the Purchased Assets that it and its representatives have desired or requested to see or review and that it and its representatives have had a full opportunity to meet with the officers and employees of the Seller to discuss the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities. The Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that (i) other than the representations and warranties of the Seller specifically contained in ARTICLE V of this Agreement, neither the Seller nor any other Person has made any representation or warranty either expressed or implied (A) with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the transactions contemplated hereby or (B) as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other agreements related hereto furnished or made available to the Purchaser and its representatives, (ii) the Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty from the Seller or any other Person in determining to enter into this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in ARTICLE V of this Agreement and (iii) no Person who is part of the Purchaser Group shall have any claim or right to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX and neither the Seller nor any other Person shall have or be subject to any Liability, other than claims for Losses arising out of, or caused by or relating to fraud, to the Purchaser Group (or any Person who is part of such group) or any other Person, in each case, with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished by the Seller or any of its representatives or agents to the Purchaser (it being understood that this clause (iii) does not supersede or otherwise affect the representations and warranties of the Seller specifically contained in ARTICLE V of this Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller does not make any representations or warranties relating to the maintenance, repair, condition, design, performance or marketability of any Purchased Asset, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it shall obtain rights in the Purchased Asset in their present condition and state of repair, “as is” and “where is”.
Section 9.9Adjustment to Purchase Price. The Seller and the Purchaser agree to treat all payments made either to or for the benefit of the other Party under this Agreement as
32


adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes to the extent permitted under applicable tax Law.
Section 9.10Reimbursement. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a Third Party in respect of a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the amount received from the Third Party in respect thereof.
Section 9.11Losses Net of Insurance and Tax Benefits. In determining the amount of Losses in respect of a claim under this ARTICLE IX, there shall be deducted an amount equal to any Tax benefit realized or reasonably expected to be realized as a result of such Loss by the Indemnified Party and the amount of any Third Party insurance proceeds actually received (net of direct collection expenses) by an Indemnified Party making such claim with respect to such Losses, provided that the foregoing shall not (i) require an Indemnified Party to proceed or seek action or recovery from any such Third Party as a requirement hereunder or as a condition to seeking or recovering indemnification from any Indemnifying Party hereunder (but the Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses and promptly notify in reasonable detail any such recovery to the Indemnifying Party and reimburse the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.10 hereof, if applicable), or (ii) be construed or interpreted as a guaranty of any level or amount of insurance recovery with the provisions of Section 9.10 hereof, if applicable with respect to any Losses hereunder or as a requirement to maintain any insurance or to make any claim for insurance as a condition to any indemnification hereunder.
Section 9.12Subrogation. To the extent that the Indemnifying Party makes or is required to make any indemnification payment to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates may have against any other Person with respect to any Losses to which such indemnification payment is directly related.
Section 9.13Sole Remedy/Waiver. Should the Closing occur, the remedies provided for in this ARTICLE IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of any Indemnified Party in respect of this Agreement, the Purchased Assets, the Product, the Excluded Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than (i) for actions for specific performance or other equitable remedies, (ii) for claims arising out or related to ARTICLE III, or (iii) for claims against a Party directly arising out of the knowing and intentional fraud of such Party in respect of a provision of this Agreement.
