(f)            Promptly following the Closing Date, the Seller Group will (in consultation with the Purchaser) use reasonable efforts to obtain Licensee’s consent to allow the Purchaser to directly invoice (as contemplated by Section 20.4 of the License Agreement) Licensee for payment to the Purchaser of Milestone Payments due and payable under the License Agreement, as well as Royalties due and payable under the License Agreement. Until Licensee so consents, the Purchaser will promptly, upon receipt of (1) the required notice that a milestone event triggering a Milestone Payment has been achieved or (2) a report triggering a payment constituting a Royalty, provide an invoice to the Seller Group suitable for issuance to Licensee and, upon receipt of such invoice from the Purchaser, the Seller Group will promptly (and in any event no later than [***] Business Days) after receipt of such invoice from the Purchaser issue to Licensee an invoice (in the form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser) for the

In addition, no member of the Seller Group shall enter into any contract, agreement or other arrangement, or exercise any of its rights under the License Agreement in any manner, that would reasonably be expected to conflict with the Transaction Documents or the Licensee Instruction or serve or operate to limit or circumscribe any of the Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents or the Licensee Instruction (or the Purchaser’s ability to exercise any such right).

 

(c)           Promptly after (i) receiving notice from Licensee or any other Person (A) terminating the License Agreement (in whole or with respect to the Licensed Products or a termination that could adversely affect the Receivables), (B) alleging any breach of or default under the License Agreement by any member of the Seller Group or (C) asserting the existence of any facts, circumstances or events that, alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events, would reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time, or both) to give rise to a breach of or default under the License Agreement by the Seller Group or the right to terminate the License Agreement (in whole or with respect to the Licensed Products or a termination that could adversely affect the Receivables) by Licensee or any other Person or (ii) any member of the Seller Group otherwise has knowledge of any fact, circumstance or event that, alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events, would reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time, or both) to give rise to a breach of or default under the License Agreement by any member of the Seller Group or give the right to terminate the License Agreement (in whole or with respect to the Licensed Products or a termination that could adversely affect the Receivables) by Licensee or any other Person, in each case, the Seller Group shall (A) promptly (and in any event within [***] Business Days) give a written notice to the Purchaser describing in reasonable detail the relevant breach, default or

(d)          Promptly after any member of the Seller Group obtains knowledge of a breach of or default under, or an alleged breach of or default under, the License Agreement by Licensee or any other Person (each, a “Defaulting Party”) or of the existence of any facts, circumstances or events that, alone or together with other facts, circumstances or events, would reasonably be expected (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time, or both) to give rise to a breach of or default under the License Agreement by a Defaulting Party or the right to terminate the License Agreement (in whole or with respect to the Licensed Products or a termination that could adversely affect the Receivables) by any member of the Seller Group, in each case, the Seller Group shall (i) promptly (but in any event within [***] Business Days) give a written notice to the Purchaser describing in reasonable detail the relevant breach, default or termination event and (ii) proceed in consultation with the Purchaser. The Seller Group may, and if requested by the Purchaser shall, take such commercially reasonable actions (including commencing legal action against the Defaulting Party and the selection of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser) to enforce compliance by the Defaulting Party with the relevant provisions of the License Agreement and to exercise any or all of the Purchaser’s or any member of the Seller Group’s rights and remedies, whether under the License Agreement or by operation of law, with respect thereto.  In connection with any enforcement of Licensee’s obligations under the License Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.5, the applicable member of the Seller Group shall employ such counsel as the Purchaser shall recommend for such purpose (as long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Seller Group). To the extent permitted under the License Agreement, the Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole expense, to participate in and control, with counsel appointed by it, any meeting, discussion, action, suit or other proceeding relating to any such breach, default or termination event or alleged breach, default or termination event, including any counterclaim, settlement discussions or meetings; provided, that the fees and expenses of the Purchaser’s counsel in connection therewith shall be borne by the Seller Group if such breach, default or termination event or alleged breach, default or termination event results from, or is caused by, directly or indirectly, a breach or default by any member of the Seller Group.

(f)            Without limiting the rights and obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 5.5, the Seller Group shall take (and refrain from taking) any and all actions reasonably requested by the Purchaser in writing (i) in connection with any breach or default, alleged breach or default, assignment, amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, waiver, cancellation or termination of the License Agreement, (ii) otherwise related to the Purchased Assets or the Receivables (including any new agreement or legally binding arrangement related thereto) or (iii) related to any dispute with respect to, or enforcement of the License Agreement.

 

(g)           The Seller Group shall, subject to Applicable Law and the provisions of the License Agreement and any rights of Licensee thereunder, (i) take any and all actions, and prepare, execute, deliver and file any and all agreements, documents and instruments, that are reasonably necessary or desirable to diligently preserve and maintain the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights, including payment of maintenance fees or annuities, at the sole expense of the Seller Group (which expenses may be reimbursable to the Sellers by Licensee under the License Agreement), (ii) diligently prosecute and maintain the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights, including pursuing and perfecting any available extensions thereof (including appealing any adverse determination or defending against any challenge thereto) and (iii) diligently defend (and enforce), in consultation with Purchaser, the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights against infringement or interference by any other Person, and against any claims of invalidity or unenforceability, in any jurisdiction (including by bringing any legal action for infringement or defending any counterclaim of invalidity or action of a third party for declaratory judgment of non-infringement or non-interference); provided that [***]. For clarity, the Purchaser shall not be required to reimburse any member of the Seller Group for any costs or expenses incurred by the Seller Group in connection with enforcing any of the Purchaser’s rights relating to the Purchased Assets resulting from or caused by a breach or default by any member of the Seller Group under the License Agreement. Without limiting the Seller Group’s obligations under the foregoing clause (iii), if such an action is not initiated by Licensee within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice thereof, then upon the Purchaser’s request in writing, the Seller Group will exercise its rights under Section 13.6 of the License Agreement to initiate an action against interference or infringement by any other Person of the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights. The Seller Group (including through enforcement of the Master Servicing Agreement or the Sub Servicing Agreement) shall not disclaim or abandon, or fail to take any action necessary or desirable to prevent the disclaimer or abandonment of, any Zealand Intellectual Property Rights or if so doing would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(h)          Without limiting the rights of the Purchaser or obligations of the Seller Group, in each case, under Section 5.1(c), Section 5.5(g) or Section 5.5(k), the Seller Group shall

promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of (i) all correspondence regarding, or filings or other submissions to be made with respect to, any Patents included in the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights (including any available extensions thereof), in each case, reasonably in advance of providing any such correspondence, filings or other submissions to Licensee or any Patent Office or other Governmental Authority so as to allow the Purchaser to review and comment thereon, and (ii) any correspondence or filings related to the Patents within the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights (including any available extension thereof) received by the Seller Group, including from Licensee or any Patent Office or other Governmental Authority. The Seller Group and its counsel shall give reasonable consideration to the views of the Purchaser and its counsel with respect to any such correspondence, filings and other submissions, and shall take (or refrain from taking) such actions with respect thereto as the Purchaser reasonably requests.

 

(i)              No member of the Seller Group shall dispose of or encumber the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights (in whole or in part) or any other assets affecting or relating to the Receivables (or any rights relating thereto), other than as expressly provided in the License Agreement, and shall enforce the Master Servicing Agreement or the Sub Servicing Agreement (as applicable) to such effect.

For clarity, the Purchaser shall not be required to reimburse any member of the Seller Group for any costs or expenses incurred by the Seller Group in connection with enforcing any of the Purchaser’s rights relating to the Purchased Assets resulting from or caused by a breach or default by any member of the Seller Group under the License Agreement.

 

(k)          [***]. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller Group will provide the Purchaser with such information with respect to the filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement and defense of such Zealand Intellectual Property Rights as the Purchaser may, from time to time, request. No member of the Seller Group shall knowingly take any actions with respect to the filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement and defense of the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights, or fail to take any action with respect to the filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement or defense of the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights requested by the Purchaser and its counsel, that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse effect.

 

Section 5.6                                    Termination of the License Agreement; Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales Involving Licensee.

 

(a)          Promptly, and in any event within [***] Business Days, following any member of the Seller Group becoming aware of the occurrence of any event that gives rise to a right on the part of the Seller Group to terminate the License Agreement, the Seller Group shall

provide notice of such occurrence to the Purchaser and consult with the Purchaser in determining whether or not to exercise the Seller Group’s right to terminate the License Agreement.  In any event, the Seller Group shall not exercise its right to terminate the License Agreement, or agree with Licensee to terminate the License Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.5 or the foregoing sentence, if Licensee or any member of the Seller Group terminates or provides written notice of termination of the License Agreement (in whole or with respect to the Licensed Products or a termination that could adversely affect the Receivables), or the License Agreement otherwise terminates (in whole or with respect to the Licensed Products or a termination that could adversely affect the Receivables), then, to the extent permitted by the survival provisions of the License Agreement, the Seller Group shall diligently pursue the negotiation of and entry into a license of the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights relating to the Purchased Assets, which shall include terms no less favorable to the Seller Group than those contained in the License Agreement with respect to obligations and costs imposed on the Seller Group, disclaimers of the Seller Group’s liability, intellectual property ownership and control, commercialization diligence and indemnification of the Seller Group (any such license, a “New Arrangement”). Purchaser shall provide assistance to and cooperate with the Seller Group, at the Purchaser’s cost and expense (including the Purchaser’s payment of the Seller Group’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, if any, in connection therewith), in such efforts as the Seller Group shall undertake in connection with the negotiation of a license of the Patents relating to the Purchased Assets (including in the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights). Should the Purchaser identify any New Arrangement, the Seller Group agrees to pursue the negotiation of and entry into a new license agreement effecting such New Arrangement that satisfies the foregoing requirements promptly upon the written request of the Purchaser.  In the event the Seller Group enters into a New Arrangement, the Seller Group agrees to comply in all material respects with the provisions of this Purchase and Sale Agreement in connection with the New Arrangement and references in this Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Purchased Assets and the License Agreement shall be deemed to be references to any new purchased asset and the new license agreement constructed under the New Arrangement, and references to Licensee shall be deemed to be references to the other party to such new license agreement and that other party’s Affiliates and sublicensees.  Such New Arrangement shall also provide, for no additional consideration from the Purchaser, that (i) the Purchaser shall have the same rights as those acquired under the applicable License Agreement pursuant to this Purchase and Sale Agreement and (ii) all payments and other consideration (including any upfront fees) thereunder (to the extent that such payments or other consideration would have constituted Receivables under the applicable License Agreement) be made by the other party to such New Arrangement directly to the Purchaser. Lastly, in such event, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that Section 2.1(b), Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.1(d) shall apply with respect to the New Arrangement, and each member of the Seller Group will promptly and no later than with effect as of the date of such New Arrangement do all such acts and execute all such documents as the Purchaser may reasonably specify (and in such form as the Purchaser may reasonably require) to perfect the sale of Receivables under this Purchase and Sale Agreement in respect of such New Arrangement.

(b)          If there occurs a merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Sellers or the Seller Group, on the one hand, and Licensee or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, a sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Sellers’ assets to Licensee or a sale or assignment of the License Agreement or the Zealand Intellectual Property Rights by the Sellers to Licensee (in each case affecting or relating to the Receivables or any rights relating thereto), and in any such case the License Agreement is terminated (or payments constituting Royalties and Milestone Payments under the License Agreement cease to be paid) in connection therewith, the Sellers (or their successors) shall pay to the Purchaser royalties on Net Sales of the Licensed Products and payments constituting Milestone Payments (if achieved) for the term of the License Agreement on the same basis as if the License Agreement had continued and the Purchaser’s rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and the covenants of the Sellers under this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall continue to apply on the same basis as if the License Agreement was in place between the Seller Group and Licensee.

 

Section 5.7                                    Acknowledgement. Without limiting any of the representations, warranties, covenants or assurances set forth in this Purchase and Sale Agreement, the parties acknowledge that pursuant to the License Agreement, Licensee is responsible for the manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of the Licensed Products, and, therefore, the Seller Group does not provide any representations, warranties, covenants or assurances hereunder with respect to changes in the Receivables as a result of Licensee’s (a) changes in the prioritization of the Licensed Products in the Territory, (b) reallocation of resources relating to the Licensed Products in the Territory or (c) failure to devote sufficient time and resources or slow down or changes in strategies for the marketing of the Licensed Products. The parties acknowledge that no member of the Seller Group is or will be responsible or liable for the insolvency or other lack of creditworthiness of Licensee.

 

Section 5.8                                    Audits.  The Sellers shall, solely upon the written request of the Purchaser (but not more frequently than once per calendar year), cause an audit of Licensee’s books and records to be conducted pursuant to, and in accordance with, the License Agreement.  For the purposes of exercising the Purchaser’s rights pursuant to this Section 5.8, the Sellers shall select such public accounting firm as the Purchaser shall recommend for such purpose (as long as such independent, certified public accountant is reasonably acceptable to the Seller) and  such accountant shall be engaged on terms that are reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser.  The Sellers and the Purchaser agree that [***] will bear all of the expenses of any audit carried out for the benefit of the Purchaser that would otherwise be borne by the Sellers pursuant to the License Agreement, including such fees and expenses of such public accounting firm as are to be borne by the Seller pursuant to the License Agreement. [***]. The Purchaser shall have the right to require the Sellers, in writing, at the expense and direction of [***] to exercise the Sellers’ rights under the License Agreement to cause Licensee to cure such discrepancy discovered by such audit in accordance with the License Agreement.  If, following the completion of such audit, Licensee reimburses the Seller for the costs of such audit pursuant to 16.1 of the License Agreement, the Seller shall promptly (and in any event within [***] Business Days) following receipt by the Seller of such reimbursement remit a portion of the amount of such reimbursement

(a)          Notwithstanding the accounting treatment thereof, for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes, the Seller Group and the Purchaser shall, to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, treat the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents as a sale.

 

(b)          All payments to the Purchaser or Seller Group under this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax except as required by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent any Tax or other amount is required under Applicable Law to be withheld or deducted from a payment made pursuant to this Purchase and Sale Agreement or the License Agreement, such withheld amount shall for all purposes of this Purchase and Sale Agreement or the License Agreement be treated as received by Seller Group or Purchaser as applicable.  Neither party shall have any obligation to gross-up or otherwise pay the other party any amounts with respect to such withholding or deduction under this Purchase and Sale Agreement or under the License Agreement.  If any withholding or deduction or value added tax is required in connection with a payment made pursuant to this Purchase and Sale Agreement or the License Agreement, Seller Group and Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable measures and cooperate to obtain any available reduction or exemption from, or refund of, such tax.

 

(c)           The parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.9 on any tax return or in any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding unless (i) the other party hereto has consented to such actions or (ii) required by Applicable Law (including good faith resolution of a tax audit).  If there is an inquiry by any Governmental Authority of either of the Sellers or the Purchaser related to this Section 5.9, the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in responding to such inquiry in a reasonable manner consistent with this Section 5.9.

 

Section 5.10                             Existence.  Subject to Applicable Law, Zealand and each other member of the Seller Group shall and Zealand shall cause each other member of the Seller Group to (a) preserve and maintain its existence, (b) preserve and maintain its rights, franchises and privileges unless failure to do any of the foregoing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, (c) qualify and remain qualified in good standing in each jurisdiction where the failure to preserve and maintain such qualifications would result in a Material Adverse Effect, including appointing and employing such agents or attorneys in each jurisdiction where it shall be necessary to take action under this Purchase and Sale Agreement, (d) comply with its organizational documents and all other written agreements between Zealand  and any other Seller with respect to the relationship between Zealand and each Seller and the operation, servicing and control of the Sellers by Zealand and (e) until the Amended SPV Documents, in the forms substantially agreed to by the parties pursuant to Section 6.2(h), are duly executed by the applicable parties thereto, comply with the covenants on Exhibit I and, thereafter, comply with the Amended SPV Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.10 shall prevent Zealand from entering into and consummating a change of control through merger, consolidation, demerger, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or liquidation proposed and adopted by its shareholders; provided that (i) in connection with any such transaction Zealand complies with Section 5.6(b) and Section 9.4 of this Purchase and Sale Agreement and (ii) no such transaction shall alter the obligations of the other members of the Seller Group under this Section 5.10.

Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated thereunder, (d) any Excluded Liabilities and Obligations and (e) any fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or other amounts incurred or owed by any member of the Seller Group to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Purchase and Sale Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Purchaser Indemnified Party that results from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Purchaser Indemnified Party. Any amounts due to any Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder shall be payable by the Seller Group to such Purchaser Indemnified Party upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as limited by Applicable Law, (i) Sub SPV Seller shall have no obligations under this Section 7.1 to indemnify and hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party for Losses arising out of any action by another member of the Seller Group and (ii) Master SPV Seller shall have no obligations under this Section 7.1 to indemnify and hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party for Losses arising out of any action by Zealand.

 

Section 7.2                                    Indemnification by the Purchaser.  The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold each member of the Seller Group and its Affiliates and any and all of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees, agents and controlling Persons (each, a “Sellers Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against, and will pay to each Sellers Indemnified Party the amount of, any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by such Sellers Indemnified Party, whether or not involving a third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, arising out of: (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Purchaser in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by the Purchaser in writing pursuant hereto or thereto, (b) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document, (c) any actions requested in writing by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.5(f) and (d) any fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or other amounts incurred or owed by the Purchaser to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Purchase and Sale Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Sellers Indemnified Party that results from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Sellers Indemnified Party. Any amounts due to any Sellers Indemnified Party hereunder shall be payable by the Purchaser to such Sellers Indemnified Party upon demand.

 

Section 7.3                                    Procedures.  If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any; provided, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 unless, and only to the extent that, the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such omission.  In the event that any such action is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in

accordance with this Section 7.3, the indemnifying party will be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Article VII for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than as provided below.  In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (a) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (b) the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (c) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of counsel to the indemnified party.  It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or discharge of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge, as the case may be, (i) includes an unconditional written release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding, (ii) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (iii) does not impose any continuing material obligation or restrictions on any indemnified party. The indemnified and indemnifying parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding with such cooperation to include (A) the retention of and the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, demand, action or proceeding and (B) the making available of employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

 

Section 7.4                                    Other Claims.  In order for an indemnified party to be entitled to any indemnification under this Article VII in respect of Losses that do not arise out of or involve a third party claim, the indemnified party must notify the indemnifying party promptly in writing (including in such notice a brief description of the claim for indemnification and the Loss, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known or reasonably capable of estimation by the indemnified party); provided, however, that the failure to promptly provide

such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided under this Article VII except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

 

Section 7.5                                    Time Limitations.

 

(a)          Except for breaches of [***] and for any breaches of representations or warranties set forth herein due to fraud or intentional breach (with respect to each of which the Seller Group’s liability for breach will survive until termination of this Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1), the Seller Group shall have liability under Section 7.1 with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller Group in any of the Transaction Documents or in any certificates delivered by the Seller Group to the Purchaser in writing pursuant to this Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other Transaction Document only if the Purchaser notifies the Seller Group of a claim, specifying the factual basis of such claim in reasonable detail, on or prior to the date that is [***] after the Closing Date.

 

(b)          Except for breaches of [***], and for any breaches of representations or warranties set forth herein due to fraud or intentional breach (with respect to each of which the Purchaser’s liability for breach will survive until termination of this Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1), the Purchaser shall have liability under Section 7.2 with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in any of the Transaction Documents or in any certificates delivered by the Seller Group to the Purchaser in writing pursuant to this Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other Transaction Document only if a member of the Seller Group notifies the Purchaser of a claim, specifying the factual basis of such claim in reasonable detail, on or prior to the date that is [***] after the Closing Date.

 

Section 7.6                                    Exclusive Remedy.  From and after the Closing, except in the case of fraud or intentional breach following the Closing, the indemnification afforded by this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses awarded against or incurred or suffered by a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by a party hereto in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by a party hereto in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by a party hereto pursuant to any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding anything in this Purchase and Sale Agreement to the contrary, including this Section 7.6, in the event of any breach or failure in performance of any covenant or agreement contained in any Transaction Document, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 9.2.

 

Section 7.7                                    Limitations.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, absent the Purchaser’s actual fraud or intentional breach, in no event shall the Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under Section 7.2 exceed, individually or in the aggregate, an amount equal to [***].

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the remainder of this Section 7.7, in no event shall any Sellers Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party have any liability for, or Losses be deemed to include, any indirect, incidental, special or consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, whether in contract or tort, regardless of whether the other party shall be advised, shall have reason to know, or in fact shall know of the possibility of such damages suffered or incurred by any such Sellers Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with this Purchase and Sale Agreement any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent any such damages are actually paid to a third party in accordance with Section 7.3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 7.7 shall not apply to any claim for indemnification hereunder in the case of actual fraud or intentional breach. In connection with the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) the Purchaser’s Losses, if any, for any indemnifiable events under this Purchase and Sale Agreement will typically include Losses for Receivables that Purchaser was entitled to receive in respect of its ownership of the Receivables but did not receive timely or at all due to such indemnifiable event and (b) the Purchaser shall be entitled to make indemnification claims for all such missing or delayed Receivables as Losses hereunder (which claims shall be reviewed and assessed by the parties in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article VII), and such missing or delayed Receivables shall not be deemed indirect, incidental, special or consequential, punitive or exemplary damages for any purpose under this Purchase and Sale Agreement.

delegate or otherwise transfer this Purchase and Sale Agreement or any of their interests, obligations or rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zealand may, without the consent of the Purchaser, assign its obligations and rights under this Purchase and Sale Agreement to an acquiror of Zealand in connection with a change of control through merger, consolidation, demerger, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or liquidation proposed and adopted by its shareholders; provided that the Sellers remain liable to the Purchaser for their obligations hereunder and that at the closing of such acquisition the ultimate parent entity of the acquiror guarantees the obligations of the Seller Group under the Transaction Documents in a written agreement with the Purchaser in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser. Any such purported assignment, delegation or transfer without such consent shall be void ab initio and of no effect.  The Purchaser may assign any of its obligations and rights hereunder without restriction and without the consent of the Seller Group, provided, however, that the Purchaser remains liable to the members of the Seller Group for its obligations hereunder.  The Purchaser shall give notice of any such assignment to the Seller Group promptly after the occurrence thereof.  The Seller Group shall be under no obligation to reaffirm any representations, warranties or covenants made in this Purchase and Sale Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or take any other action in connection with any such assignment by the Purchaser.

Section 9.6                                    Entire Agreement.  This Purchase and Sale Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto (which are incorporated herein by reference) and the other Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Purchase and Sale Agreement, including without limitation the Confidentiality Agreement and that certain Exclusivity Letter by and between RP Management, LLC and Zealand, dated as of August 19, 2018. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein (or in the Exhibits hereto or the other Transaction Documents) has been made or relied upon by either party hereto.  Neither this Purchase and Sale Agreement nor any provision hereof is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and the other Persons referenced in Article VII any rights or remedies hereunder.
