Harris FRC shall, from time to time after the Closing, upon the request of Purchaser, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and cause to be done, executed, acknowledged or delivered, all such further acts, documents, instruments, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances or assurances as Purchaser may reasonably request to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and to complete the Contemplated Transactions, including to transfer, assign, convey and grant to, and confirm ownership in, Purchaser, or to aid and assist in the reducing to possession by Purchaser of the Purchased Assets, or to vest in Purchaser good and marketable title to the Purchased Assets. If any of the Purchased Assets are not by their respective terms assignable, Harris FRC shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, prior to the Closing, any written consents necessary to convey to Purchaser the benefit thereof. To the extent that any such consents cannot be obtained prior to the Closing, the assignment of the affected Purchased Assets shall not occur at Closing but shall be deferred until Harris FRC and Purchaser have obtained the required consent. Harris FRC will continue to use its reasonable best efforts after the Closing to take such actions as may be possible without violation or breach of any such non-assignable Purchased Assets to effectively provide Purchaser with the economic benefits of those non-assignable Purchased Assets. Once any such consent has been obtained, Harris FRC shall assign the Purchased Asset(s) to which that consent relates for no additional consideration.

The Parties shall cooperate to resolve any disagreements regarding the Allocation within 60 days after delivery of that draft. Any disagreement the Parties are unable to resolve within such 60-day period, shall be resolved by PricewaterhouseCoopers (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Allocation, as finalized by agreement of the Parties or by the Independent Accounting Firm, is called the “Final Allocation.” Unless otherwise required by Law, none of the Parties or any of their Affiliates shall take any position inconsistent with the Final Allocation on any Tax Return (including IRS Form 8594) or for any other U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income Tax purpose.

(b)      The interest and proceeds earned on the Escrow Amount are called the “Escrow Income,” and shall accrue to and become part of the Escrow Amount. The Escrow Agent shall pay the Escrow Amount as follows:

(ii)      annually, within 60 days after the end of each calendar year, to Harris FRC, an amount equal to 40% of the Escrow Income that constitutes taxable income for United States Federal income Tax purposes for that calendar year;

 

(iii)      on the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date (the “Release Date”), to Harris FRC, an amount, if greater than zero, equal to any remaining balance of the Escrow Amount minus the amount of any Indemnification Claim that has been asserted by the Purchaser but not satisfied; and

(d)      Harris FRC and the Purchaser shall provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to implement the provisions of this Section 3.3, including instructions (i) to pay to a Purchaser Indemnified Person the amount of any Indemnification Claim within 5 days after the claim is accepted, no longer disputed, settled or resolved and (ii) to pay to Harris FRC within 5 days after the Release Date the remaining balance of the Escrow Amount minus the amount of any Indemnification Claim that has been asserted by the Purchaser but not satisfied.

 

(e)      Any payments from the Escrow Amount to the Purchaser under this Section 3.3 shall be treated by the Parties and their respective Affiliates as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all applicable income Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE IX

 

INDEMNIFICATION

 

9.1       Indemnification Generally; Etc.

 

(a)           Subject to the further terms of this Article IX, the Harris FRC Indemnifying Persons shall indemnify and reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Persons for, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Purchaser Losses arising from, relating to or in connection with any of the following:

 

(i)        the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Harris FRC contained in this Agreement or in any Related Document to which Harris FRC is a party;

(b)           Subject to the further terms of this Article IX, the Purchaser Indemnifying Persons shall indemnify and reimburse the Harris FRC Indemnified Persons for, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Harris FRC Losses arising from, relating to or in connection with any of the following:

  

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

-22-

 

 

 

 

  (i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Related Document to which Purchaser is a party;

 

  (ii) the breach of any agreement or covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Related Document to which Purchaser is a party; and

 

(iii)the Assumed Liabilities.

 

9.2Assertion of Claims.

 

No claim shall be brought under Section 9.1 unless the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, at any time before the applicable Survival Date, give the Indemnifying Persons (i) written notice of the existence of that claim, specifying the nature and basis of that claim and the amount of Losses relating thereto, to the extent known, or (ii) written notice under Section 9.3 of any third Person claim, the existence of which might give rise to such a claim. No delay in or failure to give such notice or the giving of an incomplete or inaccurate notice shall adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies which the Indemnified Person has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve any Indemnifying Person of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person, except and only to the extent that such delay or failure results in actual and material prejudice to the Indemnifying Person; provided; however, that the foregoing shall in no way serve to extend or otherwise lengthen the survival of representations and warranties in accordance with Section 9.4 or the applicable time limits on making an indemnification claim under this Article IX. Upon the giving of written notice of an indemnification claim in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, the Indemnified Persons’ rights under Section 9.1 with respect to that indemnification claim shall survive the Survival Date until that indemnification claim is finally determined, and the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, shall have the right to commence legal proceedings subsequent to the Survival Date for the enforcement of their rights under Section 9.1.

 

  9.3 Notice and Defense of Third Person Claims.

 

The obligations and liabilities of an Indemnifying Person with respect to Losses resulting from the assertion of liability by third Persons (each, a “Third Person Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)     An Indemnified Person shall promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Persons of any Third Person Claim that might give rise to any Losses by the Indemnified Persons, stating the nature and basis of that Third Person Claim, and the amount of Losses related thereto to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Persons in notifying any Indemnifying Persons shall relieve the Indemnifying Persons from any liability or obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Person is prejudiced by the delay. That notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to the Third Person Claim, including any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served, any written demand or any other related document or instrument.

-23-

 

 

(b)     If the Indemnifying Persons acknowledge in a writing (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Persons) delivered to the Indemnified Persons that the Indemnifying Persons shall be obligated under the terms of their indemnification obligations hereunder in connection with a Third Person Claim that is not a Shareholder/Purchaser Claim, then the Indemnifying Persons shall have the right to assume the defense of that Third Person Claim at their own expense and by their own counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Persons; provided, that, the Indemnifying Person may only assume the defense of a Third Person Claim if (i) the defense of that Third Person Claim by the Indemnifying Person does not, and would not reasonably be likely to, result in a Material Adverse Change on the business of the Indemnified Person (including the Business) and (ii) the Indemnifying Person has sufficient financial resources to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result. “Shareholder/Purchaser Claim” means a Shareholder Claim asserted against any Purchaser Indemnified Person. This Section 9.3(b) and Sections 9.3(c)–(d) shall not apply to Shareholder/Purchaser Claims, which shall instead be covered by Sections 9.3(a) and (e)–(g).

 

(c)     If the Indemnifying Persons assume the defense of a Third Person Claim, the Indemnifying Persons shall not be responsible for any legal or other defense costs subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the defense thereof, but the Indemnified Persons shall nevertheless be entitled to participate in that defense with their own counsel and at their own expense. If the Indemnifying Persons do not exercise their right to assume the defense of a Third Person Claim by giving the written acknowledgement referred to in Section 9.3(b), the Indemnified Persons may defend the Third Person Claim and seek indemnity from the Indemnifying Persons for Litigation Expenses incurred in connection with that defense.

 

(d)     If the Indemnifying Persons exercise their right to assume the defense of a Third Person Claim, they shall not make any settlement of any claims without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Persons (i) propose the settlement of any Third Person Claim on terms that require the payment of money only and include a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Persons in connection with that Third Person Claim and (ii) demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Persons that the Indemnifying Persons are able to pay the required amount of money, and the Indemnified Persons do not consent thereto within 20 days after the receipt of written notice thereof, any Losses incurred by the Indemnified Persons in excess of that proposed settlement shall be at the sole expense of the Indemnified Persons.

 

(e)     The Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall diligently and reasonably defend each Shareholder/Purchaser Claim with reasonable, qualified counsel selected by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons, and the reasonable fees and expenses of that counsel and any other Litigation Expenses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons (including pursuant to Section 9.3(g)) in connection with a Shareholder/Purchaser Claim, whether during the defense of a Shareholder/Purchaser Claim or thereafter, shall be indemnifiable Losses under Section 9.1(a)(iv).

(f)     The Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall not settle any Shareholder/Purchaser Claim without the prior written consent of Harris FRC, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that withholding consent on any settlement that does not (i) involve the release of money from the Escrow Account or (ii) require any obligations on Harris FRC shall be deemed unreasonable), except that the Purchaser Indemnified Persons may enter into a Qualifying Unilateral Settlement in their sole discretion, without the consent of Harris FRC, in which case the Purchaser Indemnifying Persons shall not be entitled to, and shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived and released, any and all right to indemnification under this Article IX and any and all other remedies that the Purchaser Indemnifying Persons, or any of them, may have against the Harris FRC Indemnifying Persons, or any of them, solely in connection with (i) that Qualifying Unilateral Settlement, including the amount paid in that Qualifying Unilateral Settlement, or (ii) any subsequent Losses solely in connection with that Shareholder/Purchaser Claim. A “Qualifying Unilateral Settlement” means a settlement of a Shareholder/Purchaser Claim that finally resolves that Shareholder/Purchaser Claim by a payment of money only, at the sole expense of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons, in exchange for a full and unconditional release of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons in that Shareholder/Purchaser Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, entry into a Qualifying Unilateral Settlement shall not otherwise release the Harris FRC Indemnifying Persons, or any of them, from their obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this Article IX.

 

(g)     The Purchaser Indemnified Persons and Harris FRC shall consult and cooperate reasonably with one another in connection with the defense of any Shareholder/Purchaser Claim, including considering in good faith the views of one another concerning strategy in that defense and material submissions (including memoranda, briefs and arguments), negotiations (including settlement negotiations) and other material actions in connection with that defense, and reasonably exchanging information in connection with that defense, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections. However, (i) nothing in this Section 9.3(g) shall be deemed to be a waiver of any legal privilege of any Person or require any Person to take any action that would result in any such waiver, and (ii) the Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall remain in ultimate control of the defense of any Shareholder/Purchaser Claim, subject to the limitations set out in Sections 9.3(e) and (f).

 

  9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants.

 

(a)     The representations and warranties (other than Fundamental Representations) of Harris FRC contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement shall survive the Closing until 12 months after the Closing Date, at which time they shall terminate, provided that the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, at which time they shall terminate. The covenants and other agreements of Harris FRC in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date until fully performed or satisfied or until they terminate in accordance with their own terms.

 

(b)     The representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and shall terminate 12 months after the Closing Date, provided that the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 shall survive the Closing until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The covenants and other agreements of Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date until fully performed or satisfied or until they terminate in accordance with their own terms.

 

(c)     For convenience of reference, the date upon which any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall terminate, if any, is referred to herein as the “Survival Date.”

(a)       Indemnity Limitations for Harris FRC Indemnifying Persons. Except in the

case of Fraud:

(ii)     the sum of all Purchaser Losses for which indemnification is payable by the Harris FRC Indemnifying Persons under Section 9.1(a) shall not exceed [*] (the “Cap”), except for Shareholder Claims, Excluded Liabilities and claims for inaccuracy or breach of Fundamental Representations, for which the sum of all Purchaser Losses for which indemnification is payable by the Harris FRC Indemnifying Persons under Section 9.1(a) shall not exceed the amount of the Cash Payment.

 

(b)        Indemnity Limitations for the Purchaser Indemnifying Persons. Except in the case of Fraud:

(ii)      the sum of all Harris FRC Losses for which indemnification is payable by the Purchaser Indemnifying Persons under Section 9.1(b) shall not exceed the Cap.

 

(c)       DAMAGES LIMITATION. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, FOR PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE OR INCOME, LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY, OR DIMINUTION OF VALUE OR ANY DAMAGES BASED ON ANY TYPE OF MULTIPLE, EXCEPT, IN EACH CASE, (i) IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD, (ii) TO THE EXTENT THAT AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON IS REQUIRED TO PAY THOSE DAMAGES OR OTHER ITEMS TO A THIRD PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH A MATTER FOR WHICH THAT INDEMNIFIED PERSON IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE IX; OR (III) THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT THE PURCHASER’S RIGHT TO RECOVER FOR THE LOSS OF FUTURE ROYALTY PAYMENTS DUE UNDER ASSIGNED CONTRACTS THAT ARE REASONABLY FORSEEABLE AND DETERMINABLE.

Each Indemnified Person shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent reasonably necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to that Loss.

 

(e)     Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of Fraud and to remedies to which a Party is entitled under Section 12.8, the rights and remedies provided for in this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Persons with respect to any matter arising under or related to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions.

The title of and the article, section and paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern or affect the interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.

The Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

 

12.11     Independence of Covenants and Representations and Warranties.

 

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a certain action or condition constitutes a default under a certain covenant, the fact that that action or condition is permitted by another covenant shall not affect the occurrence of that default, unless expressly permitted under an exception to that initial covenant. In addition, all representations and warranties hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular representation or warranty proves to be incorrect or is breached, the fact that another representation or warranty concerning the same or similar subject matter is correct or is not breached shall not affect the incorrectness of or a breach of a representation and warranty hereunder.

 

12.12     Severability.

 

The Parties want the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, that provision, as to that jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if that provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in that jurisdiction, it shall, as to that jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction.

This Agreement may be executed in 2 or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Electronic counterpart signatures to this Agreement shall be deemed to be original and shall be acceptable and binding.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, New Jersey Governor Philip D. Murphy has enacted executive orders directing residents to stay at home and limiting the operation of nonessential business. To comply with the executive orders and help ensure the health and safety of its employees, beginning in March 2020, Harris FRC has caused its employees to work from home. Remote working is a departure from Harris FRC’s past practice and has mainly affected administrative work requiring a physical presence in the Harris FRC office.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic appears to have affected prescribing and dispensing patterns for VIMPAT, including an acceleration of VIMPAT prescribing and dispensing around the end of Q1 2020 and a slowdown in VIMPAT prescribing and dispensing around the beginning of Q2 2020. Disruptions to the health care system as a result of government restrictions and an overload of COVID-19 patients appear to have caused a slowdown in new patients starting on VIMPAT, perhaps as a result of difficulties in completing the required diagnostic work. Increased unemployment as a result of COVID-19-related economic disruptions, which can result in loss of health insurance and economic constraints for current and prospective VIMPAT patients, may adversely affect VIMPAT sales.
