Section 6.12    Tax Matters.

(a)    Tax Deficiencies. Neither Seller nor any of the Divesting Entities shall permit to exist any Tax deficiencies (including penalties and interest) of any kind assessed against or relating to Seller or any of the Divesting Entities with respect to any taxable periods ending on or before, or including, the Closing Date of a character or nature that could reasonably be expected to result in Liens (other than Permitted Liens) or claims on any of the Purchased Assets or on Purchaser’s title or use of the Purchased Assets following the Closing or that would reasonably be expected to result in any claim against Purchaser.

(b)    Apportioned Taxes. Subject to Section 2.12, all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the

 

36


Purchased Assets for a taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (collectively, the “Apportioned Obligations”) shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date based on the number of days of such taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Apportioned Period”) and the number of days of such taxable period beginning from the day after the Closing Date through the end of such taxable period (the “Post-Closing Apportioned Period”). Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of Apportioned Obligations that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Apportioned Period. Purchaser shall be liable for the proportionate amount of the Apportioned Obligations that is attributable to the Post-Closing Apportioned Period.

Section 6.13    Confidentiality. From and after the Closing Date, Seller and the Divesting Entities will, and will cause their Affiliates and Representatives to, treat and hold as confidential, and not use or disclose any nonpublic or confidential information relating to the ALXN1101 Molecule, any Products or the Purchased Assets (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) to any person (including any of their Affiliates); provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include information which (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Seller, the Divesting Entities or their Affiliates or any Representatives of the foregoing in violation of this Section 6.13; or (b) is legally required to be disclosed in accordance with this Section 6.13. In the event that Seller or any Divesting Entity is required by request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or as otherwise required by applicable Law to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller will promptly notify Purchaser of the request so that Purchaser may seek, at its expense, an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.13. If in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder Seller or any Divesting Entity is compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any Governmental Authority, it may disclose the Confidential Information to the Governmental Authority; provided, however, that Seller or such Divesting Entity shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request, and at the expense of Purchaser, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded to such portion of the Confidential Information to be disclosed as Purchaser shall designate.

Section 6.14    Guarantee. BridgeBio guarantees irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally and as a primary obligation that Purchaser shall fully, completely and timely pay and perform all of its obligations and discharge all its Liabilities contained in this Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Section 6.14 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. There are no conditions precedent to the enforcement of this Section 6.14. The obligations of BridgeBio hereunder shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability against Purchaser of this Agreement or any agreement executed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, any change in the corporate existence structure or ownership of Purchaser, or otherwise. This Section 6.14 shall continue to be effective, or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored, returned or rejected by Seller for any reason, including, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Purchaser.

Section 6.15    Transferred Contracts Schedule Updates. After the Effective Date but prior to the Closing Date, Schedule 2.01(i)(b) may be updated from time to time as follows: (i) in the event Purchaser provides notice of such at least [***] Business Days prior to the Closing Date any Contract listed on Schedule 2.01(i)(b) may be removed therefrom and (ii) in the event Purchaser and Seller shall so agree in writing any Contract not previously contained on Schedule 2.01(i)(a) may be added thereto. In the event a Contract is removed from Schedule 2.01(i)(b) pursuant to this Section 6.15, such Contract shall no longer be considered a “Transferred Contract” and shall instead be an “Excluded Asset” and all liabilities with respect thereto shall be considered “Retained Liabilities” hereunder. In the event a Contract is added to Schedule 2.01(i)(a) pursuant to this Section 6.15, such Contract shall be considered a “Transferred Contract” for all purposes hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, any update pursuant to this Section 6.15 will not be taken into account in determining the truth of any representation or warranty in Article IV hereof.

(b)    Purchaser shall take, and shall cause the other Purchaser Indemnitees to take, all commercially reasonable steps mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit the ability of Purchaser and the other Purchaser Indemnitees to incur reasonable costs and expenses in connection therewith. For purposes of calculating or determining the amount of Losses paid, incurred or sustained by a Purchaser Indemnitee, there shall be deducted from any Losses an amount equal to any third-party insurance, indemnification or contribution payments actually received by such Purchaser Indemnitee in respect of such Losses (net of applicable costs of recovery or collection, retention, deductible, retroactive premium adjustment, reimbursement or other cost related to such insurance, indemnification or contribution arrangement in respect of Losses thereof); provided, however, that no Purchaser Indemnitee shall have any obligation to claim, seek or otherwise obtain any such insurance, indemnification or contribution proceeds to which it may be entitled, and the failure of an Purchaser Indemnitee to seek any such proceeds shall not in any way affect or modify such Purchaser Indemnitee’s rights, or the Seller’s or Divesting Entities’ obligations, under and subject to the terms of this ARTICLE VIII.

Section 8.02    Indemnification by Purchaser.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII, Purchaser agrees, from and after the Closing, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses to the extent arising from or relating to (i) any Assumed Liability; (ii) any breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; (iii) any breach of any warranty or representation of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; (iv) any event occurring on or after the Closing in connection with use, ownership, possession, operation, management, business integration, or transfer of any Purchased Asset on or after the Closing or (v) any Third Party Claim.

(b)    Seller shall take, and shall cause the other Seller Indemnitees to take, all commercially reasonable steps (including making claims under any applicable insurance policies) to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit the ability of Seller and the other Seller Indemnitees to incur reasonable costs and expenses in connection therewith.

Section 8.03    Notice of Claims. Any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee claiming that it has suffered or incurred any Loss for which it may be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the matter, action, cause of action, claim, demand, fact or other circumstances upon which a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII (each, a “Claim”) may be based, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder unless the Party who was entitled to receive such notice has been materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall contain, with respect to each Claim, such facts and information as are then reasonably available with respect to such Claim, including a description of the Losses suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party, the amount or estimated amount of such Losses (if known or reasonably capable of estimation) and the method of computation of such Losses, and a reference to the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant hereto in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. If any Claim is based on any Action (in equity or at law) instituted by a Third Party with respect to which the Indemnified Party intends to claim any Loss under this ARTICLE VIII (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify (the “Third Party Claim Notice”) the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim and offer to tender to the Indemnifying Party the defense of such Third Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give written notice of any Claim or to offer to tender the defense of any Third Party Claim in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VIII, except (a) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby or (b) as provided in Section 8.05.

Section 8.04    Third Party Claims.

(a)    The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] days of receipt of a Third Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Claim, to assume the conduct and control, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and through counsel of its choosing that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, of such Third Party Claim. During such [***] day period, the Indemnified Party may not compromise or settle, nor assume the defense of, any Third Party Claim for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party may compromise or settle any such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party advance written notice of any proposed compromise or settlement and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim that (i) commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action or (ii) does not provide for a full and complete written release by the applicable Third Party of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such Third Party Claim through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne solely by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control or conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party nevertheless shall have the right to participate in the defense of

41


any Third Party Claim and, [***] to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose. The Parties shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention and the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and (ii) reasonable access to employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(b)    Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate and to cause their Affiliates to cooperate with each other to the extent reasonably required after the Closing Date in connection with any claims conducted by a Taxing Authority relating to any Taxes with respect to or in relation to any Purchased Asset for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date or, in the case of any Tax period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date (each a “Tax Contest”). Promptly (but no more than [***] days) after Purchaser or any of its Affiliates receives notice of any Tax Contest, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (which notice shall include copies of any notices, correspondence and any other documents received by Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to such Tax Contest) of the Tax Contest; provided, that no failure or delay of Purchaser in providing such notice shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of Seller pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent Seller is materially and adversely prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Seller’s Tax liability or rights to any refunds (or the liability or rights of the Seller) could be affected by the Tax Contest or if Seller could have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement, Seller shall have the sole right to conduct, control, defend, settle or compromise the defense of the Tax Contest [***] whether the Tax Contest began before or after the Closing Date; and Purchaser shall provide Seller with all necessary powers of attorney and other necessary documents and assistance to allow Seller to effectively conduct and control such defense; provided that in the case of any Claims conducted by a Taxing Authority against the Purchaser that is a Tax Contest, the Purchaser shall have the right to control the defense against such Claim except that the Seller shall have the right to participate in such defense and the Purchaser shall not settle or resolve such Claim without the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 8.05    Expiration. If the Closing shall have occurred, all covenants, agreements, warranties and representations made herein or in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein or in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto, and all indemnification obligations under [***] with respect to any such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, except [***], shall (a) in the case of any such representations or warranties by the Seller, other than the Fundamental Representations, terminate and expire on, and no action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any thereof or for any misrepresentation or inaccuracy with respect thereto, shall be commenced after, the date that is [***] months after the Closing Date (the “Claims Period”), unless prior to such date a claim for indemnification with respect thereto shall have been made, with reasonable specificity, by written notice given in accordance with Section 8.03; and (b) in the case of any such covenants or agreements, terminate and expire on, and no action or proceeding seeking damages or other relief for breach of any thereof shall be commenced

The Claims Period for Losses arising or resulting from a breach of any Fundamental Representation will commence at the Closing and continue until [***]. All representations and warranties of Purchaser in this Agreement shall expire upon the end of the Claims Period. Third Party Claims alleging the occurrence of facts or circumstances that, if true, regardless of the outcome of such defense, would entitle a Purchaser Indemnitee to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(iii) shall survive until the date [***]. It is the express intent of the Parties that, [***]. In the event of any Fraud, with respect to any representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, such representations and warranties shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is [***]. If a Claim has been delivered on or prior to the end of the applicable survival period, such the subject matter of such Claim shall survive beyond the applicable survival period until such Claim has been finally resolved.

Section 8.06    Certain Limitations.

(a)    Notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE VIII, Seller shall not have any indemnification obligations for Losses under Section 8.01(a)(iii), other than with respect to Fraud or the Fundamental Representations, unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds [***], (the “Basket”) and then Seller shall be required to pay [***].

(b)    Notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE VIII, Seller shall not have any indemnification obligations for Losses under Section 8.01(a)(iii), other than with respect to Fraud or the Fundamental Representations, in excess, on a cumulative basis in respect of all such Claims, an amount equal to [***].

(c)    Except in the event of Fraud, Seller’s liability under (i) Section 8.01(a)(iii) with respect to Fundamental Representation, (ii) Section 8.01(a)(ii), and (iii) Section 8.01(a)(iv) shall not exceed, on a cumulative basis in respect of all such Claims, an amount equal to [***]. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, Seller’s indemnification obligations with respect to [***] shall be [***].

(d)    Subject to Section 8.06(e), an Indemnified Party may assert a claim for indemnification based on or arising out of the same set of facts and circumstances under more than one provision of Section 8.01 or 8.02, as applicable, and an Indemnified Party shall not be foreclosed or limited from recovering under one or more such applicable provisions an amount of Losses that such Indemnified Party would not be entitled to recover under another applicable provision due to the application of a survival period, basket, or other limitation on such other applicable provision that differs from, or does not apply to, the first applicable provision.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to double recovery for any Losses based on or arising out of the same set of facts or circumstances under more than one claim for indemnification regardless of whether such facts or circumstances would give rise to multiple bases for indemnification.

43


(f)    The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any nonaffiliated Third Party. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment. The Indemnifying Party may require, as a condition to the provision of any indemnification hereunder, that the Indemnified Party execute an undertaking consistent with its obligations set forth in this Section 8.06(f). Purchaser shall promptly assign or subrogate to Seller or its designated Affiliate any claim Purchaser acquired from Seller pursuant to Section 2.01(j), to the extent such claim may reasonably mitigate any Losses that Seller is liable for pursuant to Section 8.01.

Section 8.07    Materiality. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of the parties’ indemnification obligations under this ARTICLE VIII, all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any certificate or schedule that are qualified as to “material,” “materiality,” “material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect”, “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect”, or words of similar import or effect shall be deemed to have been made without any such qualification for purposes of determining the amount of Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of a representation or warranty.

Section 8.08    Sole Remedy/Waiver. This ARTICLE VIII provides the exclusive means by which a Party may assert and remedy Claims, and Section 10.09 provides the exclusive means by which a Party may bring actions against the other Party with respect to Claims under this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 10.09(c) each Party hereby waives and releases any other remedies or claims that it may have against the other Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to the matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or relating to the ALXN1101 Molecule or the Purchased Assets, except that nothing herein shall limit the liability of any Party hereto for Fraud. With respect to any Losses arising under this Agreement, the Parties agree that they shall only seek such Losses from the other Party and hereby waive the right to seek Losses from or equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief, against any Affiliate of the other Party or any director, officer or employee of thereof (or any of its Affiliates).

Section 8.09    Indemnity Payments. In the event that either Party agrees to, or is determined to have an obligation to, reimburse the other Party for Losses as provided in this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay such amount to the Indemnified Party in U.S. Dollars via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified in writing by the Indemnified Party. Upon written notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, if Seller has not satisfied any indemnification obligation conclusively owed by it to the Purchaser Indemnitees hereunder, Purchaser may set off the amount to which Purchaser is entitled from Seller against any indemnification obligation conclusively owed by Purchaser to

the Seller Indemnitees hereunder and against any Milestone Payment or Royalty Payments owed to Seller. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff, will constitute an election of remedies or limit Purchaser in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies against Seller that may be available to Purchaser under this Agreement.

Section 8.10    Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Upfront Payment for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 8.11    No Consequential Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RELIEF MANDATED BY STATUTE, (I) NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE OTHER PARTY FOR LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS DAMAGES OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR MULTIPLIED DAMAGES THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OR ANY LIABILITY RETAINED OR ASSUMED HEREUNDER UNLESS SUCH LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS OR DAMAGES ARE NOT BASED ON ANY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PARTY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION AND ARE THE NATURAL, PROBABLE AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE RESULT OF THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM FOR INDEMNIFICATION AND (II) NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE OTHER PARTY FOR PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES; PROVIDED THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO PRECLUDE RECOVERY IN RESPECT OF ANY LOSS DIRECTLY INCURRED OR SUFFERED FROM THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

Section 10.05    Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of a Party to the other Party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled by an Affiliate of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.

Section 10.06    Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.08    Schedules. The disclosure of any matter in the Schedules to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure for the purposes of the Section or subsection of this Agreement to which it corresponds in number and each other Section and subsection of this Agreement to the extent such disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face thereof to be relevant to such other Section or subsection. The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule to this Agreement shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by any Party, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, or is required to be disclosed under this Agreement.

(a)    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law, principles or rules of such state, to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would permit or require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(b)    The Parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in the State of Delaware for the resolution of all disputes or controversies between the Parties. Each of the Parties (i) consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any suit, action or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions; (ii) waives any objection that it may have to the laying of venue in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court; and (iii) agrees that service of any court paper may be made in such manner as may be provided under applicable Laws or court rules governing service of process.

49


(c)    Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller would be damaged irreparably in the event that any of Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.09 or Section 6.10(b) (the “Drug Access Obligations”) are not performed. Accordingly, Purchaser agrees that, without posting bond or other undertaking, Seller shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of Section 6.09 or the Drug Access Obligations and to enforce specifically the obligations under Section 6.09 or the Drug Access Obligations in any action instituted in any court specified in Section 10.09(b) in addition to any other remedy to which Seller may be entitled, at law or in equity. Purchaser further agrees that, in the event of any action for an injunction or specific performance in respect of Section 6.09 or such Drug Access Obligations, it shall not assert that a remedy at law would be adequate.

Section 10.10    Counterparts.

This Agreement, following its execution, may be delivered via facsimile or other form of electronic delivery, which shall constitute delivery of an execution original for all purposes.

Section 10.11    Headings. The heading references herein and the table of contents hereto are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

Section 10.12    Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefore in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
