Since March 6, 2019, Seller has not (i) incurred any material Liability outside the ordinary course of business with respect to the Transferred Assets, or (ii) created, caused to be created, or consented to or allowed to be created, any Encumbrance on any of the Transferred Assets.

(k)               No Other Representation or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Section 5.1, Seller makes no other express or implied warranty, and Seller hereby disclaims any such warranty or any representation whether by Seller or its respective Representatives or any other Person, as to the condition (financial or otherwise), value or quality of the Product or the Transferred Assets, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to Buyer or any of its Representatives or any other Person of any documentation or other information by Seller or any of its Representatives or any other Person with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

Should any part or provision of this Section 6.1 be held invalid, void, or unenforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability will not render invalid, void, or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement. The Parties further agree that if any portion of this Section 6.1 is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, territory, or other provisions are deemed to be invalid or unreasonable in scope, the invalid or unreasonable terms will be replaced by terms that are valid and enforceable and that come closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable terms, and any court of competent jurisdiction shall enforce this Section 6.1 as so modified to the maximum extent allowed by Law.

6.2              Use of the Transferred Assets. The Buyer agrees and acknowledges that Seller is not assigning, licensing or conveying any rights to the Buyer outside the Territory.

(f)                Seller will comply with all applicable FDA regulations and applicable Law in connection with any matters related to the Product NDA;

(h)               Seller will not file any submission or deliver any correspondence concerning the Product NDA to FDA or any other Government Authority without the written consent of Buyer;

(b)               From and after the Closing for a period ending six (6) months after the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller in the good faith negotiation of the Novation Agreement with [***]. Buyer further covenants and agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent or signature to the Novation Agreement, provided, however, that Buyer withholding its consent or signature to the Novation Agreement because the terms and conditions of the final, negotiated Novation Agreement materially deviates from the form attached in Exhibit A which, either (i) increases Buyer’s obligations under the [***] or (ii) decreases Buyer’s rights and privileges under the [***], will not be considered unreasonable.

6.6              Registrations and Filings. (a) Without prejudice to applicable Laws that may exclude this possibility, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall take the lead in coordinating the NDA transfers. Buyer shall file, or shall cause its Affiliates or designees to file, or, if required by applicable Law, Seller, its Affiliates or designees shall file, applications for the transfer of the NDA in the Territory.

Article 7
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

7.1              Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Representatives from, against and in respect of any and all Losses resulting or arising from or otherwise relating to:

(a)               any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(b)               any breach by Seller of, or failure by Seller to perform, carry out or otherwise fulfill or comply with, any of the covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(c)               any Excluded Liabilities;

(d)               any Liabilities of Seller arising out of or in connection with any breaches or defaults by Seller under the [***] arising prior to the Effective Date; and

(e)               any Taxes of Seller not otherwise the responsibility of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

7.2              Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Effective Date, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Representatives from, against and in respect of any and all Losses resulting or arising from or otherwise relating to:

(a)               any breach by Buyer of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(b)               any breach by Buyer of, or failure by Buyer to perform, carry out or otherwise fulfill or comply with, any of the covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(c)               any Assumed Liabilities;

(d)               use of the Marketing Collateral(s) by Buyer after the Effective Date; and

(e)               any Taxes of Buyer not otherwise the responsibility of Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

7.3              Method of Asserting Claims.

(a)               All claims for indemnification under or with respect to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements (“Indemnity Claims”) made by a Party or its Representatives hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 7.3. In the event that any written claim or demand for which a Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) would be liable to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a Third Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than thirty (30) days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such claim or demand, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (the “Claim Notice”). All indemnity claims by any Indemnified Party that do not involve Third Party claims shall be communicated via a Claim Notice to the other Party promptly following discovery of such claim. The failure or delay of the Indemnified Party to provide any such Claim Notice does not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 7 unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay.

(b)               The Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days from the delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not it accepts the Indemnity Claim set forth in the Claim Notice and, in the case of a Third Party claim, whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand. An election to assume the defense of such claim or demand shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Indemnifying Party is liable to the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim or demand. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the amount of such expenses shall be a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 7. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of the claim within such fifteen (15)-day period, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be deemed Losses hereunder if the Indemnifying Party is ultimately determined to be liable for the Losses that are the subject of the Indemnity Claim set forth in the Claim Notice pursuant to this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 7.

(c)               In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any Third Party claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and court costs) actually incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense.

(d)               The Indemnified Party shall not settle a claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party may settle any claim or demand solely for monetary damages; it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on a basis which would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would substantially restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof.

(e)               To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall control or participate in the defense or settlement of any Third Party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party.

(f)                The controlling party, in either case, shall select counsel, contractors, experts and consultants of recognized standing and competence, shall take reasonable steps necessary in the investigation, defense or settlement thereof, and shall diligently and promptly pursue the resolution thereof.

(g)               Any notice of a claim by reason of any of the warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement shall state specifically the warranty or covenant with respect to which the claim is made, the facts giving rise to an alleged basis for the claim, and the amount of the liability asserted against the Indemnifying Party by reason of the claim.

7.4              Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Parties contained herein shall survive without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue for the applicable statute of limitations.

7.5              DAMAGES LIMITATION. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, NO PARTY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES SHALL, IN ANY EVENT, BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PERSON, EITHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST OPPORTUNITIES OF SUCH OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS, DIMINUTION OF VALUE OR LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION) RELATING TO THE BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES HAS BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE OTHER PARTY IN ADVANCE OR COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEN BY SUCH OTHER PARTY.

7.6              Limitation of Liability of Seller.
