Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
As previously disclosed, beginning on August 16, 2022, Endo International plc (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), commenced voluntary cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re Endo International plc, et al., Case No. 22-22549 (JLG). On December 19, 2023, the Debtors filed a Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (as amended, the “Plan”) in the Bankruptcy Court.
On March 22, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming and approving the fourth amended version of the Plan, which was filed on March 18, 2024 (the “Confirmation Order”). The Debtors expect that the effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”) will occur once all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied or waived.
On April 14, 2024, and pursuant to the Plan, the Company and certain of the Debtors entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Buyers party thereto, pursuant to which the Buyers will acquire substantially all assets of the Company, as contemplated by the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the Closing:
(i) the DAC Seller will sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Enterprise Buyer all right, title and interest in and to all Endo Luxembourg Transferred Equity Interests;
(ii) each of the U.S. Sellers will sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the US Buyer all right, title and interest in and to all Transferred Assets held by such U.S. Sellers;
(iii) each of the Canada Sellers will sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Canada Buyer all right, title and interest in and to all Transferred Assets held by such Canada Sellers;
(iv) each of the Ireland Sellers, the UK Seller, the Luxembourg Sellers, the Cyprus Seller and the Bermuda Sellers will sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Canada Buyer all right, title and interest in and to all Transferred Assets held by such Ireland Sellers, the UK Seller, the Luxembourg Sellers, the Cyprus Seller and the Bermuda Sellers.
The Endo Companies are not selling, and the Buyers are not purchasing, any assets other than the Transferred Assets. In connection with the purchase and sale of the Transferred Assets, at the Closing, the Buyers will assume, pay, discharge, perform or otherwise satisfy only the Assumed Liabilities.
The board of directors of the Company and the governing bodies of each of the Subsidiaries have approved the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Conditions to Closing
Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including, but not limited to, the: (i) absence of any law or order restraining, making illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements; (ii) expiration or termination of any waiting periods applicable to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (iii) receipt of all approvals which may be required under the Irish Screening of Third Country Transactions Act 2023 from the Irish Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment for the transfer of the Transferred Assets; (iv) receipt of all requisite regulatory consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and necessary orders from the Governmental Authorities in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements; (v) satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Effective Date of the Chapter 11 Plan; (vi) entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court, with the Confirmation Order being a Final Order; (vii) solely relating to the Canadian Debtors, entry of the Canadian Plan Recognition Order by the Canadian Court, with the Canadian Plan Recognition Order being the Final Order; and (viii) solely relating to the Canadian Debtors, obtainment of the Competition Act Approval and the ICA Approval, in each case, if required.
Termination and Fees
The Purchase Agreement contains termination rights in favor of the Company and the Buyers. In the event of termination of the Purchase Agreement, there will be no liability on the part of any Party, except for broker’s fees and finder’s fees to the extent such fees are due and owing pursuant to and solely to the extent required by the terms of an executed engagement letter with the Debtors or the Cash Collateral Order, and any liability pursuant to the provisions of certain sections of the Purchase Agreement that according to their nature survive the termination of the Purchase Agreement.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Parties, including a covenant to cooperate as required to obtain or transfer any necessary governmental approvals.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, the Sellers, the Buyers or their respective Affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement as of the specific dates set forth therein, were solely for the benefit of the Parties, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the Parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk among the Parties instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the Parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Parties or any of their Affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. The Purchase Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the Company, the Sellers and the Buyers and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Plan that will be contained in or attached as an annex to any the other filings that the Company will make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other than the Assumed Liabilities, the Buyers are not assuming and shall not be liable for any Liabilities of the Endo Companies.

Section 2.5 Consents to Certain Assignments.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall not constitute an agreement to transfer or assign any asset, permit, claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach or other contravention under any agreement or Law to which any Seller is a party or by which it is bound, or in any way adversely affect the rights of the Sellers or, upon transfer, the Buyers under such asset, permit, claim or right, unless the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code permits and/or the Confirmation Order authorizes the assumption and assignment of such asset, permit, claim, or right irrespective of the consent or lack thereof of a third party. If, with respect to any Transferred Asset, such consent is not obtained or such assignment is not attainable pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or the Confirmation Order, then such Transferred Asset shall not be transferred hereunder, and, without prejudice to any of the conditions to the obligations of the Buyers as set forth in Section 7.3 hereof, the Closing shall proceed with respect to the remaining Transferred Assets; provided that nothing in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall require any Seller, the Buyers or any of their respective Affiliates to make any payment (other than as required in the applicable contract or permit or in the Chapter 11 Plan) or initiate any Action (other than Actions for relief from the Bankruptcy Court) to transfer any Transferred Asset as contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
39
(b) If (i) notwithstanding the applicable provisions of Sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Confirmation Order and the commercially reasonable efforts of the Sellers and the Buyers, any consent is not obtained prior to Closing and as a result thereof the Buyers shall be prevented by a third party from receiving the rights and benefits with respect to a Transferred Asset intended to be transferred hereunder, (ii) any attempted assignment of a Transferred Asset would adversely affect the rights of the Sellers thereunder so that the Buyers would not in fact receive all the rights and benefits contemplated or (iii) any Transferred Asset is not otherwise capable of sale and/or assignment (after giving effect to the Confirmation Order and the Bankruptcy Code), then, in each case, during the Wind-Down Period, the Sellers shall, subject to any approval of the Bankruptcy Court that may be required, at the written request of the Buyers, cooperate with the Buyers in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement under which the Buyers would, to the extent practicable, obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits under such asset and assume the economic burdens and obligations with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement, including by subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the applicable Buyer. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Wind-Down Period, the Sellers shall promptly pay to the Buyers when received all monies received by the applicable Sellers under such Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder and the Buyers shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless and promptly pay the Sellers for all Liabilities of the Sellers associated with such arrangement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such arrangements.
Section 2.6 Contract Designation.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in the Chapter 11 Plan or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Chapter 11 Plan, as of and subject to the occurrence of the effective date of the Chapter 11 Plan (the Effective Date), all Contracts (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any insurance policies and binders that are Transferred Assets and any settlement agreements and leases with respect to real property) related to the Transferred Assets and/or the Business or otherwise used, or held for use, in connection with the Transferred Assets, Assumed Liabilities and/or the Business, in each case excluding any Contracts in relation to the business, assets and properties of the Specified Subsidiaries (each, an Executory Contract) shall be deemed Transferred Contracts unless such contract or lease (i) was previously rejected by the Debtors pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; or (ii) is identified for rejection on the Rejection Schedule (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan).
(b) The Endo Companies previously served the Cure Notice to all counterparties to any Executory Contracts which described the monetary amounts that must be paid and nonmonetary obligations that otherwise must be satisfied, including pursuant to Section 365(b)(1)(A) and (B) of the Bankruptcy Code, in order for the Endo Companies to assume or assume and assign, as applicable, the Transferred Contracts to the Buyers or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) pursuant to this Agreement (Undisputed Cure Claims). To the extent a counterparty to an Executory Contract objects or otherwise challenges the Undisputed Cure Claims determined by the Endo Companies and asserts that a different monetary amount must be paid and/or nonmonetary obligations otherwise must be satisfied, including pursuant to Section 365(b)(1)(A) and (B) of the Bankruptcy Code, in order for the Endo Companies to assume or assume and assign, as applicable, such Executory Contract to the applicable Buyer or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) pursuant to this Agreement, the difference between the Undisputed Cure Claims determined by the Endo Companies and such amounts and/or nonmonetary obligations determined by such counterparty shall be referred to as the Disputed Cure Claims. The procedures governing Disputed Cure Claims are set forth in Section 7.3 of the Chapter 11 Plan.
40
(c) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Buyers may, in their sole discretion, designate in writing any Executory Contract as a Transferred Contract to be assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, to the Buyers pursuant to this Agreement or designate in writing any previously designated Transferred Contract as an Excluded Contract; provided, that, with respect to any newly designated Transferred Contracts, the Endo Companies shall promptly (x) file and serve notice on the applicable counterparties setting forth the Endo Companies intention to assume or assume and assign, as applicable, such Executory Contracts to the applicable Buyer or Buyers or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) (which notice shall include the applicable proposed Cure Claims) and (y) file or otherwise make any necessary motions before the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of such assumption and assignment. Upon request of the Buyers, the Endo Companies will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Buyers with (i) copies of each Contract and (ii) information as to the Liabilities under each Contract sufficient for the Buyer to make a reasonably informed assessment whether to designate any Contract as an Excluded Asset. For clarity, subject to Section 2.6(b), any Executory Contract not designated by the Buyers as a Transferred Contract pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall be automatically designated as an Excluded Contract. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and consummation of the Closing, the Sellers shall pay the Cure Claims (including the Undisputed Cure Claims) and cure any and all other undisputed defaults and breaches under the Transferred Contracts so that such Transferred Contracts may be assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, by the applicable Endo Company and assigned to the applicable Buyer or Buyers or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) in accordance with the provisions of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and this Agreement; provided that, (A) the Buyers shall pay any Disputed Cure Claim associated with the assumption of a Transferred Contract that is an Executory Contract pursuant to an Order of the Bankruptcy Court or mutual agreement between the Endo Companies, the Buyers and the counterparty to the applicable Transferred Contract which has not been resolved as of the Closing, and (B) such payment shall, in the case of any Cure Claim, be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing and, in the case of any Disputed Cure Claim, pursuant to an Order of the Bankruptcy Court provided, that the parties do not reach a negotiated settlement regarding such Disputed Cure Claim. To the extent any Transferred Contract is subject to a Cure Claim, the Sellers shall pay such Cure Claim directly to the applicable counterparty. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyers shall only assume, and shall only be responsible for, Contracts designated by them as Transferred Contracts.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Executory Contract shall not be a Transferred Contract hereunder and shall not be assigned to, or assumed by the Sellers and assigned to the applicable Buyer or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) to the extent that such Executory Contract (i) expires by its terms (and is not extended) on or prior to such time as it is to be assumed by the Sellers and assigned to the applicable Buyer or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) as a Transferred Contract hereunder or (ii) requires any (x) approval, consent, ratification, permission, waiver or authorization, or an Order of the Bankruptcy Court that deems or renders the foregoing unnecessary (each of the foregoing, a Consent) or (y) Permit (other than, and in addition to, that of the Bankruptcy Court), in the case of each of (x) and (y), in order to permit the sale or transfer to the applicable Buyer of the applicable Sellers rights under such Executory Contract in
41
accordance with applicable Law, and such Consent or Permit has not been obtained. In the event that any Executory Contract that would otherwise have been assigned to the Buyers is deemed not to be assigned pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.6(d), the Closing shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII, nonetheless take place subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and, thereafter, through the earliest of (w) such time as such Consent or Permit is obtained, (x) the expiration of the term of such Executory Contract in accordance with its current terms, (y) the execution of a replacement Executory Contract by the Buyers, and (z) the end of the Wind-Down Period, the Sellers and the Buyers shall (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to secure such Consent or Permit as promptly as practicable after the Closing and (B) cooperate in good faith in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement proposed by the Buyers, including subcontracting, licensing, or sublicensing to the Buyers any or all of any Sellers rights and obligations with respect to any such Executory Contract, under which (1) the Buyers shall receive the claims, rights, remedies and benefits under, or arising pursuant to, the terms of such Executory Contract with respect to which the Consent and/or Permit has not been obtained and (2) subject to receiving any such claims, rights, remedies and benefits, the Buyers shall thereafter assume and bear all Assumed Liabilities with respect to such Executory Contract from and after the Closing (as if such Executory Contract had been transferred to the Buyers as of the Closing) in accordance with this Agreement (including by means of any subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement). Upon satisfying any requisite Consent or Permit requirement applicable to such Executory Contract after the Closing, such Executory Contract shall promptly be transferred and assigned to the applicable Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Bankruptcy Code, and otherwise without any further additional consideration. Without limitation of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the Endo Companies shall cooperate with the Buyers in connection with obtaining any Consent, Permit, Regulatory Approval, including by providing the Buyers with reasonable access to and facilitating discussions with the applicable counterparties (provided that the Buyers shall provide Sellers a reasonable opportunity to consult with the Buyers, and, if reasonably practicable, an opportunity to be present (but not participate) at any meeting) in respect of such Consents, Permit or Regulatory Approval and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyers with obtaining such Consents, Permits or Regulatory Approvals as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and prior to the Closing.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, with respect to any Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval reasonably required for the Buyers to operate the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business, the Endo Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, sell, assign, transfer, convey or make or cause to be obtained, sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or made, by or for the benefit of the Buyers, any such Consent, Permit and/or Regulatory Approval or filing or application therefore, as required pursuant to Law, as reasonably required for the Buyers to continue the Business after the Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business, and the Buyers shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Endo Companies in connection therewith as reasonably requested by Sellers, in each case to the extent obtaining or making any such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval or filing or application therefor is allowed to occur prior to the Closing pursuant to applicable Law. If any such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval is not obtained prior to the Closing, then, until the earlier of such time as (i) such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval is obtained by the Endo Companies and transferred (or permitted to be transferred) to the Buyers or (ii) the Buyers separately obtain any such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval (sufficient to conduct the business of the Endo Companies in the Ordinary Course of Business), the Sellers shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to
42
obtain, or cause to be obtained, and transfer to the Buyers such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval, and the Buyers shall provide reasonable cooperation to Sellers, subject to any approval of the Bankruptcy Court that may be required. Upon obtaining the relevant Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval, each Seller, as applicable, shall, promptly sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to the Buyers such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval for no additional consideration. All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable prior to Closing in connection with transferring any Consents, Permits or Regulatory Approvals as contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the Buyers. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, it is acknowledged and agreed that any obligations hereunder of the Endo Companies in respect of the Consents, Permits or Regulatory Approvals procured or required for the Business of the Indian Subsidiaries and the Indian HoldCo shall be: (A) limited to providing to the Buyers information, documents and such other cooperation as may be reasonably requested by the Buyers; and (B) only in respect of Consents, Permits or Regulatory Approvals, which pursuant to Law, require any action to, approval of, or notification to, the relevant Governmental Authority in relation to acquisition of the Transferred Equity Interests by the Buyers.

Without duplication, the aggregate consideration for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Transferred Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets to the Buyers at the Closing shall consist of (collectively, the Purchase Price) (a) one hundred percent (100%) of the common stock of Buyer Parent, subject to the Rights Offerings and any issuances of common stock under a management incentive plan (the Stock Consideration), (b) the First Lien Subscription Rights (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan), (c) the GUC Subscription Rights (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan), (d) the New Takeback Debt (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan), if any, (e) cash in an amount sufficient to (i) fund all payments required by the Sellers pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan and (ii) indemnify the Sellers for the Non- U.S. Sale Transaction Taxes (the Cash Component), and (f) the assumption at the Closing of the Assumed Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) any cash amounts required to be paid by the Buyers may be funded and paid from the Cash and Cash Equivalents at Closing or, to the extent an amount is not due and payable at Closing, after Closing, and (y) the Stock Consideration, the First Lien Subscription Rights, the GUC Subscription Rights and the New Takeback Debt shall be distributed as provided in the Chapter 11 Plan.

For a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyers shall not engage in any conduct that would result in an employment loss or layoff for a sufficient number of employees of Buyers which, if aggregated with any such conduct on the part of the Sellers prior to the Closing Date, would trigger the WARN Act or any other similar applicable state, provincial or local Law, to the extent that such conduct would result in liability for Sellers (for greater certainty, including any mass layoff, plant closing, group termination or collective dismissal with respect to the Business under any of the foreign Laws).
(e) After the date hereof, Buyers and the Endo Companies shall cooperate in good faith to effect the assignment and assumption of the Assumed Plans and funding arrangements related thereto from the Endo Companies to the Buyers or their Affiliates, as applicable, effective as of the Closing, including all assets and Liabilities related to such Assumed Plans, in accordance with the Chapter 11 Plan.

(j) To the extent permitted by Law or the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement, all accrued and unused vacation and paid time off of the Transferred Employees accrued as of the Closing Date shall, effective as of the Closing Date (or for a Qualified Leave Recipient, the applicable return to work date) or, if later, the date on which such Transferred Employee becomes
81
an employee of the Buyers, be transferred to and assumed by the Buyers and the Buyers shall honor such accrued vacation on the same basis as under the Endo Companies vacation policy as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, which vacation policy would be provided by the Endo Companies to the Buyers provided under Section 5.4(e).

In addition, the Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any co- payments, deductible and other eligible expenses incurred by such Transferred Employee and/or his or her covered dependents under any Seller Plan providing, medical, dental, hospital, pharmaceutical or vision benefits during the plan year during which the Closing Date occurs to be credited for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year of each comparable Buyer Plan in which he or she participates, provided that Sellers timely provide the Buyers such information as they reasonably requests to comply with such obligation.

(q) The provisions of this Section 5.4 are for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and the Specified Subsidiaries only and shall not be construed to grant any rights, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, to any person who is not a Party to this Agreement or a Specified Subsidiary, nor shall any provision of this Agreement be deemed to be the adoption of, or an amendment to, any employee benefit plan, as that term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or otherwise to limit the right of the Buyers or Endo Companies to amend, modify or terminate any such employee benefit plan or to modify the terms and conditions of any individuals employment. In addition, nothing contained herein shall be construed to (i) prohibit any amendments to or termination of any employee benefit plans or (ii) prohibit the termination or change in terms of employment of any employee (including any Transferred Employee) as permitted under applicable Law. Nothing herein, expressed or implied, shall confer upon any employee (including any Business Employee or Transferred Employee) any rights or remedies (including, without limitation, any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period) of any nature or kind whatsoever, under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.
Section 5.5 Consents and Filings; Further Assurances.

Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence and in each case subject to this Section 5.5, the Parties shall take any and all actions that are necessary or advisable, and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to collaborate with one another prior to the Closing to (i) obtain from Governmental Authorities all consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders and avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other Person, including consenting to any divestiture or other structural or conduct relief or undertakings as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Buyers ownership and operation of the Transferred Assets and the Business or of the Buyers ownership to the Specified Equity Interests immediately following the Closing; (ii) to the extent not delivered prior to the date hereof, as soon as practicable following the date hereof deliver all necessary notices and filings (including any notification and report form

The Endo Companies shall pay all filing fees and other charges for the filing under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Law by the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of this Section 5.5(a) apply solely to the Endo Companies and Buyers, and such obligations do not apply to (and Buyers shall not be obligated under this Section 5.5(a) to make any requests to) the Required Holders, other holders of Secured Debt, or any other party with an interest in the Buyers that is not itself a Buyer under this Agreement; provided, that, Buyers shall cause Required Holders to provide any information reasonably necessary for Buyers to comply with their obligations under this Section 5.5(a).

The Endo Companies agree that the transfer of the Specified Equity Interests in the Indian Subsidiaries by PPI and Par LLC to the Indian HoldCo and Operand, respectively, shall be completed upon receiving the acknowledgement or approval (as applicable) of the Competition Commission of India in connection with such transfer.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The respective representations, warranties and covenants of the Endo Companies and the Buyers contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall terminate at, and not survive, the Closing, and after the Closing, except for Fraud, no Party shall make any claim whatsoever for any breach of or inaccuracy in any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, subject to Section 8.2; provided that, subject to Section 8.2, this Section 9.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties that by its terms requires performance after the Closing.
Section 9.2 Indemnification by Buyers. From and after Closing and (unless otherwise provided in this Agreement) until the end of the later of: (a) the end of the Wind-Down Period, and (b) the end of the applicable limitation period under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961 and the rules framed thereunder (in case of Liability arising out of, resulting from, or attributable to any Non-U.S. Sale Transaction Taxes), the Buyers will pay, defend, discharge, indemnify, and hold harmless the Endo Companies and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all Liabilities to the extent arising out of, resulting from, or attributable to (x) any Non-U.S.

Sale Transaction Taxes, (y) any non-action or action such parties or entities take or cause to be taken in relation to any Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approvals, including, but not limited to, making or amending any filings, submissions, notices, communications or otherwise appearing before any Governmental Authority as required for any such Consent, Permit, or Regulatory Approval, or (z) any other Assumed Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2 or otherwise, the Buyers obligation to indemnify the Endo Companies officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all Liability to the extent arising out of, resulting from, or attributable to any non-action or action such parties or entities take or cause to be taken in relation to any Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approvals shall be indefinite. It is clarified that if any deduction or withholding of any Tax is required by applicable Law from the amount paid in cash by the Buyers pursuant to its indemnity obligations in this Section 9.2, or any Taxes that are actually payable, either in cash or by way of any set-off or adjustment against any Tax refund due by the Endo Companies or their officers, directors, employees, and agents (Seller Indemnitees) on the indemnity amounts paid by a Buyer under this Section 9.2, then such indemnity amounts paid by a Buyer to a Seller Indemnitee shall be grossed up to include such additional amount on account of Tax, so as to leave the applicable Seller Indemnitee with the full amount which would have been received by it if no such Taxes were payable; provided, that the amount of any payment by a Buyer to a Seller Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be reduced by the amount of any Tax benefit realized or expected to be realized by the applicable Seller Indemnitee in the year in which the indemnification payment is made as a result of the indemnified loss (determined on a with and without basis); provided, further, that (i) the Buyers shall have the right to designate the entity that makes an indemnity payment and (ii) the Sellers shall cooperate with the Buyers to minimize the amount of any Tax that would be payable with respect to indemnity payments made by the Buyers hereunder. The Endo Companies and the Buyers agree to treat (and cause their Affiliates to treat) any payments received pursuant to this Section 9.2 as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, a closing agreement with an applicable Taxing Authority, or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Buyers shall not pay, defend, discharge, indemnify, or hold harmless the Endo Companies for any Excluded Liabilities (including Excluded Taxes), and (ii) the Buyers shall have the right, upon written notice to the applicable indemnified Endo Company, to assume the defense of any Action related to or that may give rise to the Buyers indemnification obligations under this Section 9.2 with counsel selected by the Buyers.

104

No failure or delay of any Party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Any agreement on the part of either Party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such Party.
