Once a Required Consent for the sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance and delivery of a Restricted Material Contract is obtained, Seller shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Restricted Material Contract to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume the obligations under such Restricted Material Contract assigned to Buyer from and after the date of assignment to Buyer pursuant to a special-purpose assignment and assumption agreement (which special-purpose agreement the Parties shall prepare, execute and deliver in good faith at the time of such transfer, all at no additional cost to Buyer).

(b) If there are any consents other than the Required Consents necessary for the assignment and transfer of any Acquired Assets to Buyer (the “ Nonmaterial Consents ”) which have not yet been obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) as of the Closing, Buyer shall elect at the Closing, in the case of each of the Acquired Assets as to which such Nonmaterial Consents were not obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) (the “ Restricted Nonmaterial Contracts ”), whether to:

 

(i) accept the assignment of such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract, in which case, as between Buyer and Seller, such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract shall, to the maximum extent practicable and notwithstanding the failure to obtain the applicable Nonmaterial Consent, be transferred at the Closing to Buyer under this Agreement; or

 

(ii) reject the assignment of such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract, in which case, notwithstanding Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, (A) neither this Agreement nor any assignment and assumption agreement nor any other document related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale, assignment, assumption, conveyance or delivery or an attempted sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract, and (B) Seller shall retain such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract and all Liabilities arising therefrom or relating thereto.

 

6.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER.   As a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller represents and warrants as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date that the statements in this Section 6 are true, correct and complete except as set forth in Seller’s disclosure schedules (each a “ Schedule ” and collectively, the “ Schedules ”). The Schedules have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately titled sections corresponding to the provisions of this Section 6 ; however, each section of the Schedules shall be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Schedules to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face to a reader unfamiliar to the Company or the Company’s business that such information is relevant to such other section of the Schedules.

 

6.1.   Organization of Seller; Authority .   Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Seller is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the character of the properties owned or leased or the nature of the activities conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where any such failure would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller is not in violation of any term of its Certificate of Incorporation. Seller has all requisite corporate power and corporate authority to own and hold the Acquired Assets owned or held by it, to carry on the Program as such program is now conducted and to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other documents, instruments and agreements contemplated hereby or thereby (collectively, the “ Transaction Documents ”) to which it is a party and to carry out all actions required of it pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents.

 

6.2.   Corporate Approval; Binding Effect .   Seller has obtained all necessary authorizations and approvals from its Board of Directors and required for the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. As of the Closing, Seller shall have obtained all necessary authorizations and approvals from its stockholders required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and, when delivered by Seller in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

 

6.3.   Non-Contravention .   The execution and delivery by Seller of the Transaction Documents and, subject to receipt of required stockholder approvals, the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) violate or conflict with any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of Seller; or (b) constitute a violation of, or be in conflict with, or constitute or create a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance upon any property of Seller (including

without limitation any of the Acquired Assets) pursuant to (i) any agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or any of its properties (including without limitation any of the Acquired Assets) is bound or to which Seller or any of such properties is subject, or (ii) any Legal Requirement applicable to Seller, except in the case of clause (b) for such violations, conflicts, defaults and Encumbrances as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

6.4.   Governmental Consents; Transferability of Licenses, Etc .   Except as set forth on Schedule 6.4 , no consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, qualification or filing with, any governmental agency or authority, including but not limited to the Food and Drug Administration, is required for the execution and delivery by Seller of the Transaction Documents or for the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than such as have been obtained or made. Seller has and maintains, and the Governmental Authorizations listed on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto include, all licenses, permits and other authorizations from all Governmental Bodies as are (x) necessary for the conduct of the Program as it is now being conducted or in connection with the ownership or current use of the Acquired Assets or (y) required to be in compliance with all Legal Requirements applicable to the Acquired Assets, except for such licenses, permits and other authorizations the lack of which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Governmental Authorizations are in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and there have been no material violations of such Governmental Authorizations, no proceedings are pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, which could result in their revocation or limitation and all steps have been taken and filings made on a timely basis with respect to each Governmental Authorization and its renewal; in each case, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Assets. Except as expressly designated on Schedule 6.4 , all of the Governmental Authorizations listed on Schedule 2.1(c) are transferable to Buyer, and true and complete copies of the Governmental Authorizations listed on Schedule 2.1(c) have previously been delivered or made available to Buyer.

 

6.5.   Financial Statements .   Seller has delivered the Financial Statements to Buyer. Each of the Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States (“ GAAP ”), consistently applied; during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in the Financial Statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of Interim Financials, to the extent that they may not include notes, may be condensed or summary statements or may conform to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“ SEC ”) rules and instructions for Reports on Form 10-Q). Each of the Audited Balance Sheets and the Interim Balance Sheets fairly presents the consolidated financial condition of Seller and its subsidiaries as of its respective date; and each of the statements of operations and cash flows included in the Audited Financials and the Interim Financials fairly presents the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of Seller and its subsidiaries for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of Interim Financials, to normal recurring year-end adjustments).

 

6.6.   Absence of Certain Changes .   Except as set forth on Schedule 6.6 or except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, since the date of the Interim Financials, there has not been with respect to the Program: (a) any change in the assets, Liabilities, income or business of Seller, or in its relationships with suppliers, other than changes in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) any acquisition or disposition by Seller of any asset or property other than in the Ordinary Course of Business; (c) any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by insurance, adversely affecting, in the aggregate, the property or business of Seller; (d) any entry by Seller into any transaction other than in the Ordinary Course of Business; (e) any incurrence by Seller of any Liabilities, whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise (including, without limitation, Liabilities as a guarantor or otherwise with respect to obligations of others), other than Liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business; or (f) any Encumbrance on any of the Acquired Assets, other than in the Ordinary Course of Business.

 

6.7.   Litigation .   Except as set forth on Schedule 6.7 hereto, no action, suit, proceeding or investigation is pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened, relating to or affecting any of the Acquired Assets or the Program, nor, to the knowledge of Seller, has any event occurred that is reasonably likely to give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation. No action, suit, proceeding or investigation is pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened, which questions the validity of the Transaction Documents or challenges any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor, to the


A-12


 

knowledge of Seller, has any event occurred that is reasonably likely to give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

 

6.8.   Conformity to Law .   Except as set forth on Schedule 6.8 or except where any such noncompliance has been cured or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, Seller has complied with, and is in compliance with (a) all Legal Requirements, including all laws, statutes, governmental regulations and all judicial or administrative tribunal orders, judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees or similar commands applicable to the Program or any of the Acquired Assets (including, without limitation, any labor, environmental, occupational health, zoning or other law, regulation or ordinance) and (b) all terms and provisions of all contracts, agreements and indentures of the Program to which Seller is a party, or by which the Program or any of the Acquired Assets is subject. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.8 hereto, Seller has not committed, been charged with, or, to the knowledge of Seller, is or has been under investigation with respect to, nor to the knowledge of Seller does there exist, any violation of any provision of any Legal Requirement which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

6.9.   Title to Acquired Assets .   Except as set forth on Schedule 6.9 , Seller has valid and enforceable title or interest in or to all of the Acquired Assets, and has the full right to sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver the Acquired Assets, without the need to obtain the consent or approval of any third party. Except for Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below), all of the Acquired Assets are free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims, charges, options, mortgages, debts, leases (or subleases), conditional sales agreements, title retention agreements, encumbrances of any kind, material defects as to title or restrictions against the transfer or assignment thereof (collectively, “ Encumbrances ”). Except as set forth on Schedule 6.9 , all of the Acquired Assets are in good condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and are adequate in all material respects to carry on the Program as presently conducted. At and as of the Closing, Seller will convey the Acquired Assets to Buyer by bills of sale, certificates of title and other instruments of assignment and transfer effective in each case to vest in Buyer, and Buyer will have, valid and enforceable title or interest in or to all of the Acquired Assets, free and clear of all Encumb
