this Agreement and (y) as of the date of such termination Purchaser
does not have any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 9, then the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated
damages and not
|
14
| |
a penalty and as
Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy. The parties recognize
that the determination of damages in the event of a termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 will be difficult and that the
disbursement of the Deposit constitutes a reasonable estimate of
such actual damages, and therefore liquidated damages and not a
penalty.

execution of this Agreement. Except as set forth on Schedule
2.05(a) : (1) subject to payment of any Cure Costs, and except
for any default arising as a result of the commencement of the
Chapter 11 Case or as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller,
each Assumed Contract is valid, binding and in full force and
effect, and is enforceable by Seller, as applicable, in accordance
with its terms; (2) subject to payment of any Cure Costs, and
except for any default arising as a result of the commencement of
the Chapter 11 Case, Seller and, to the Knowledge of Seller, each
counterparty to any Assumed Contract, has performed in all respects
the obligations required to be performed by it to date
and

is not in default under each Assumed
Contract to which it is a party, except for such failure or
failures to perform which would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
on Seller and which would not prevent the assumption and assignment
of the contract to Purchaser; (3) subject to payment of any Cure
Costs and, except for any default arising as a result of the
commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, Seller has not received any
notice of default under any Assumed Contract to which it is a
party, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller
and there exists no event which, with or without the giving of
notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such default
thereunder by Seller. Except as a result of the Chapter 11 Case or
as set forth on Schedule 2.05(a) of the Disclosure Schedule,
as of the date hereof, Seller is not in negotiations to amend, or
contemplating the amendment of, any Assumed Contract. Except as set
forth in the Shire License Agreement, Seller is not a party to or
bound by any non-competition agreement that materially impairs its
