Likewise, in the event any particular Asset may be construed to be both an Alpha Asset based on a general categorical description (e.g., by reference to what is "primarily used, primarily related to, or primarily useful in", or the like) set forth in Section 3.01(d) and a Generico Asset based upon a specific description (e.g., by it being listed on a schedule, or by a specific reference to such Asset, the products to which it relates, the real property where it is located, or the like) set forth in Section 3.01(c), then such Asset shall be considered a Generico Asset. In the event that any dispute arises as to whether an Asset is a Generico Asset or an Alpha Asset, the Generico Parties and the Alpha Parties shall negotiate in good faith after the date hereof to determine whether such Asset should be a Generico Asset or an Alpha Asset. In the event that the parties cannot resolve such dispute despite such good faith negotiations, then each party shall be entitled to any remedy available in law or in equity.

(h) Transfer and Assumption Documents. In furtherance of the distribution, assignment, transfer and conveyance of Generico Assets and the acceptance and assumption of Generico Liabilities as provided for in this Section 3.01, New Alpha, LLC and Generico shall execute and deliver, and New Alpha, LLC shall cause the Alpha Subsidiaries to, and Generico shall cause the Generico Subsidiaries to, execute and deliver, such bills of sale, stock powers, certificates of title, assignments of contracts and other instruments of transfer, conveyance, assignment and assumption ("Conveyance and Assumption Instruments") as and to the extent necessary to evidence the transfer, conveyance and assignment of all of New Alpha, LLC's and the Alpha Subsidiaries' rights, title and interest in and to the Generico Assets to Generico, and the acceptance and assumption by Generico of the Generico Liabilities, in each case with effect as of the date hereof, subject to Section 3.01(i) and Section 3.01(j).

(i) Novation of Generico Liabilities. The Alpha Parties and the Generico Parties, at the request of the other, shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any Consent, substitution, amendment or Governmental Authorization required to novate or assign all Generico Liabilities, including any Alpha Group guarantees of Generico Liabilities, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all members of the Alpha Group from the Generico Liabilities, so that, in any such case, the members of the Generico Group will be solely responsible for the Generico Liabilities from and after the date hereof. Until the Alpha Parties and the Generico Parties are able to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such Consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment, the applicable member of the Alpha Group shall continue to be subject to the applicable Generico Liability and, unless not permitted by Applicable Law or the terms thereof, Generico shall, as agent or subcontractor for the applicable member of the Alpha Group and, where appropriate in the name thereof, as the case may be, pay, perform and discharge fully such Generico Liability. The Generico Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each of the Alpha Indemnified Parties and hold each of them harmless against any Generico Liabilities arising in connection therewith. New Alpha, LLC shall, without further consideration, pay and remit, or cause to be paid or remitted to Generico promptly all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of its Group in respect of such performance or discharge (unless any such consideration is an Alpha Asset). If and when any such Consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such Generico Liability shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, New Alpha, LLC shall thereafter assign, or cause to be assigned, all its rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder or any rights or obligations of any member of its Group to Generico without payment of further consideration and Generico shall assume such Generico Liability.

(j) Transfer of Generico Assets.

(i) To the extent that the contribution, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery to Generico of a Generico Asset as contemplated in this Section 3.01 or Section 5.03 requires the obtaining of any Consent, substitution, amendment or Governmental Authorization, the Generico Parties and the Alpha Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any such Consent, substitution, amendment or Governmental Authorization.

(ii) If and to the extent that the contribution, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery to Generico of any Generico Assets would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law or require any Consent, substitution, amendment or Governmental Authorization, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Transaction Agreements, unless the parties shall

 

23


otherwise mutually agree, the contribution, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery to the Generico Group of such Generico Assets shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported contribution, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed and/or such Consent, substitution, amendment or Governmental Authorization has been obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Asset shall be deemed a Generico Asset for purposes of determining whether any Liability is a Generico Liability.

(iii) If and when the Consent, substitution, amendment or Governmental Authorization, the absence of which caused the deferral of the contribution, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any Generico Asset pursuant to Section 3.01(j)(ii), is obtained, the contribution, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of the applicable Generico Asset shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Transaction Agreement.

(iv) The member of the Alpha Group retaining any Generico Asset due to the deferral of the transfer of such Generico Asset shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless Generico provides written confirmation of an obligation for prompt reimbursement therefor, along with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys' fees and recording or similar fees. Prior to any transfer thereof, the applicable member of the Alpha Group shall, at Generico's expense, operate and maintain such Generico Asset in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice until such transfer is effective.

(v) Each of the parties hereto agrees that until any such Generico Asset is contributed, transferred, conveyed or delivered to Generico, the Alpha Parties, and Generico Parties shall cooperate (at the expense of the Generico Parties) so that Generico or a Generico Subsidiary designated by Generico shall obtain the economic claims, rights, and benefits under such asset as if such asset were contributed, transferred, conveyed, or delivered as of the date hereof. The Alpha Parties shall promptly pay over to Generico when received all monies and other benefits or rights arising with respect to such assets.

(vi) All costs and expenses associated with the contribution, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any Asset pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, those associated with transfer taxes, obtaining consents, transportation, and relocation, shall be borne equally by Generico and New Alpha, LLC.

(vii) It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery of any Asset by an Alpha Party to a Generico Party pursuant to this Section 3.01(j) or Section 5.03 shall be treated as relating back to the Generico Contribution as an adjustment to the Assets contributed to Generico in the Generico Contribution and as owned by New Alpha, LLC immediately prior to the Generico Contribution. The parties to this Agreement shall not take any position inconsistent with such intention before any Tax authority, except to the extent that a final determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code) with respect to any of the parties to this Agreement causes any such transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery not to be so treated.

(m) Transfer of Assets from Generico Parties.

(i) To the extent the transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery of any Asset to the Alpha Parties as contemplated in this Section 3.01 or Section 5.03 requires the obtaining of any Consent, substitution, amendment or Governmental Authorization, the Generico Parties and the Alpha Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts (at the expense of the Alpha Parties) to obtain any such Consent, substitution, amendment or Governmental Authorization.

(ii) If and to the extent the transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery of such Alpha Asset to the Alpha Parties would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law or require any Consent, substitution, amendment or Governmental Authorization, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Transaction Agreements, unless the parties shall otherwise mutually agree, the transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery of such Asset to the Alpha Parties shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed and/or such Consent, substitution, amendment or Governmental Authorization has been obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Asset shall not be deemed a Generico Asset for purposes of determining whether any Liability is a Generico Liability.

The parties to this Agreement shall not take any position inconsistent with such intention before any Tax authority, except to the extent that a final determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code) with respect to any of the parties to this Agreement causes any such transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery not to be so treated.

Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE IV, from and after the Distribution Time, the Generico Parties shall, and shall cause each member of the Generico Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Alpha Indemnified Parties from and against, and pay or reimburse, as the case may be, the Alpha Indemnified Parties for, all Indemnifiable Losses, as incurred, suffered by any Alpha Indemnified Party based upon, arising out of or resulting from the following:

(a) the Generico Liabilities (including the failure by Gholdco or any other member of the Generico Group to pay, perform or otherwise discharge the Generico Liabilities in accordance with their terms and including Third Party Claims to the extent that, if the allegations contained therein were proven true, would be Generico Liabilities), whether such Indemnifiable Losses are based upon, arise out of or relate to events, occurrences, actions, omissions, facts, circumstances or conditions occurring, existing or asserted before, at or after the Distribution Time;

 

30


(b) the enforcement by the Alpha Indemnified Parties of their rights to be indemnified, defended and held harmless under this Section 4.02; or

(c) the use by any member of the Generico Group of any Alpha Trademarks.

Section 4.03. Indemnification by the Alpha Parties.

Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE IV, from and after the Distribution Time, the Alpha Parties shall, and shall cause each member of the Alpha Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Generico Indemnified Parties from and against, and pay or reimburse, as the case may be, the Generico Indemnified Parties for all Indemnifiable Losses, as incurred, suffered by any Generico Indemnified Party based upon, arising out of or resulting from the following:

(a) the Alpha Liabilities (including the failure by New Alpha or any other member of the Alpha Group to pay, perform or otherwise discharge the Alpha Liabilities in accordance with their terms and including Third Party Claims to the extent that, if the allegations contained therein were proven true, would be Alpha Liabilities), whether such Indemnifiable Losses are based upon, arise out of or relate to events, occurrences, actions, omissions, facts, circumstances or conditions occurring, existing or asserted before, at or after the Distribution Time;

(b) the enforcement by the Generico Indemnified Parties of their rights to be indemnified, defended and held harmless under this Section 4.03; or

Any Generico Indemnified Party or Alpha Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") shall give promptly to the Person obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the "Indemnitor") a notice (a "Claim Notice") describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, or a reasonable estimate thereof, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, however, that a Claim Notice in respect of any pending or overtly threatened action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the threat has been communicated or the action or suit is commenced; provided further that, in each case, the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure.

 

31


Section 4.05. Determination of Amount.

(a) In calculating any amount that any Indemnitor is required to pay an Indemnified Party in respect of Indemnifiable Losses provided under this Agreement, there shall be deducted any insurance recovery actually received by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party under any Policy (provided that if the insurance recovery is received following when the indemnity payment is made, the insurance recovery shall be paid over when realized). In determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Losses, such amount shall be (i) reduced to take into account any net Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment by the Indemnified Party of such Indemnifiable Losses and (ii) increased to take into account any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of the receipt or accrual of payments hereunder (grossed-up for such increase), in each case determined by treating the Indemnified Party as recognizing all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from such Indemnifiable Losses (provided that if the Tax benefit or cost is realized in a Tax period following the period in which the indemnity payment is made, the Tax benefit or cost amount (as the case may be) shall be paid over when realized). It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement are to be treated as relating back to the Cash Contribution as an adjustment to the amount of cash contributed by Gholdco to New Alpha, LLC. The parties to this Agreement shall not take any position inconsistent with such intention before any Tax authority, except to the extent that a final determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code) with respect to the recipient party causes any such payment not to be so treated.

(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant to Section 4.04, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this ARTICLE IV shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Indemnifiable Losses suffered by it.

(c) The Indemnitor shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.05(b) by wire transfer of immediately available funds promptly, but in no case later than ten (10) days, after the date on which such amount has been finally and conclusively determined.

Section 4.06. Third Party Claims.

(a) If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnified Party, or an Indemnified Party shall otherwise learn of an assertion, by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (or an Affiliate thereof) as to which an Indemnitor is reasonably likely to be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (a "Third Party Claim"), such Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnitor in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim reasonably promptly after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver

 

32


to the Indemnitor, promptly after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, copies of all material notices and documents (including court papers) received or transmitted by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor will be entitled to participate in or to assume the defense thereof (in either case, at the expense of the Indemnitor) with counsel selected by the Indemnitor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnitor so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided that, if in the Indemnified Party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor to represent such Indemnified Party and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties similarly situated) shall be paid by such Indemnitor (to the extent such costs are otherwise indemnifiable hereunder). If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor, it being understood that the Indemnitor will control such defense. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will promptly supply to the Indemnified Party copies of all material correspondence and documents relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim and keep the Indemnified Party informed of all material developments relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitor chooses to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the parties hereto will cooperate in the defense thereof (such cooperation to be at the expense, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, of the Indemnitor), which cooperation shall include the retention in accordance with this Agreement and (upon the Indemnitor's request) the provision to the Indemnitor of records and Information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees, officers, directors, and, to the extent practicable, agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional Information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(c) No Indemnitor will consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment) of any Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that, if the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnitor may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnitor to pay the full amount of Indemnifiable Losses in connection with such Third Party Claim and unconditionally and irrevocably releases the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates completely from all Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may refuse to agree to any such settlement, compromise or discharge that (i) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) includes a finding or admission or violation of law, guilt or responsibility of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) includes a finding or admission that would have an adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, or (iv) in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, would otherwise materially adversely affect

 

33


the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. Whether or not the Indemnitor shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnitor's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(d) In the event of payment in full by an Indemnitor to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnitor will be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party will cooperate with such Indemnitor in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnitor, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

ARTICLE V.

CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

Section 5.01. Insurance.

(a) Coverage. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.01, coverage of the Generico Parties under all Policies shall cease as of the Distribution Time. From and after the Distribution Time, the Generico Parties and their Subsidiaries will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all insurance coverages in their own right. All Policies will be retained by the Alpha Parties, together with all rights, benefits and privileges thereunder (including the right to receive any and all return premiums with respect thereto), except that the Generico Parties will have the rights in respect of Policies to the extent described in Section 5.01(b).

(b) Rights Under Shared Policies. From and after the Distribution Date, (i) the Generico Parties will have the right to assert claims (and the Alpha Parties will use reasonable best efforts to assist the Generico Parties in asserting claims if so requested) for any loss, liability or damage with respect to the Generico Business under Shared Policies with third party insurers that are "occurrence basis" insurance policies ("Occurrence Basis Policies") arising out of insured incidents occurring from the date coverage thereunder first commenced until the Distribution Time to the extent that the terms and conditions of any such Occurrence Basis Policies and agreements relating thereto so allow; (ii) the Generico Parties will have the right to continue to prosecute claims with respect to the Generico Business properly asserted with the insurer prior to the Distribution Time (and the Alpha Parties will use reasonable best efforts to assist the Generico Parties in connection therewith if so requested) under Shared Policies with third party insurers that are insurance policies written on a "claims made" basis ("Claims Made Policies") arising out of insured incidents occurring from the date coverage thereunder first commenced until the Distribution Time to the extent that the terms and conditions of any such Claims Made Policies and agreements relating thereto so allow; (iii) with respect to Shared Policies, the members of the Alpha Group shall request that the underwriters or claims administrators under such policies provide the Generico Parties with detailed loss Information with respect to the Generico Business to the extent required to complete future renewal negotiations and actuarial reviews of the Generico Parties, at no cost to the Generico Parties; and (iv) to the extent that New Alpha, LLC is able to keep members of the Generico Group as named insureds under Claims Made Policies at no expense or other cost (financial or otherwise) to any member of

 

35


the Alpha Group or any of its Affiliates, which New Alpha, LLC shall use its reasonable best efforts to do, and to the extent permitted by such Claims Made Policies, the Generico Parties may prosecute claims with respect to the Generico Business under such Claims Made Policies arising out of insured incidents occurring from the date of coverage thereunder first commenced until the Distribution Time to the extent that the terms and conditions of any such Claims Made Policies and agreements relating thereto so allow; provided that in the case of clauses (i) through (iv), (A) all of the Alpha Parties' and each of the other members of the Alpha Group's reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred and payable to third parties in connection with the foregoing are promptly paid by the Generico Parties, (B) the Alpha Parties and the other members of the Alpha Group may, at any time, without liability or obligation to the Generico Parties or any of their Subsidiaries (other than as set forth in Section 5.01(c), amend, commute, terminate, buy-out, extinguish liability under or otherwise modify any Claims Made Policies (and such claims shall be subject to any such amendments, commutations, terminations, buy-outs, extinguishments and modifications), (C) such claims will be subject to (and recovery thereon will be reduced by the amount of) any applicable deductibles, retentions or self-insurance provisions, (D) such claims will be subject to (and recovery thereon will be reduced by the amount of) any payment or reimbursement obligations of the Alpha Parties, any of their Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of the Alpha Parties or any their Subsidiaries in respect thereof and (E) such claims will be subject to exhaustion of existing sublimits and aggregate limits. In the event that claims submitted by the Alpha Parties and the Generico Parties under the Shared Policies exhaust existing policy limits under the Shared Policies in any one policy year, the amount payable under the Shared Policies shall be allocated pro rata based on the amounts paid in satisfaction of those claims or the amounts that would have been paid to satisfy such claims absent exhaustion of policy limits. The Alpha Parties' obligation to use reasonable best efforts to assist the Generico Parties in asserting claims under applicable Shared Policies will include using reasonable best efforts in assisting the Generico Parties to establish their right to coverage under such Shared Policies (so long as all of the Alpha Parties' reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith are promptly paid by the Generico Parties). None of the Alpha Parties or their Subsidiaries will bear any Liability for the failure of an insurer to pay any claim under any Shared Policy. It is understood that, except to the extent New Alpha, LLC is able to keep members of the Generico Group as named insureds under Claims Made Policies as provided in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, clause (iv) above, any Claims Made Policies will not provide any coverage to the Generico Parties and other members of the Generico Group for incidents occurring prior to the Distribution Time but that are asserted with the insurance carrier after the Distribution Time.

(c) The Alpha Parties Proceedings. In the event that after the Distribution Time the Alpha Parties or any of their Subsidiaries propose to amend, commute, terminate, buy-out, extinguish liability under or otherwise modify any Shared Policies (other than Occurrence Based Policies, which may not be amended, commuted, terminated, bought-out, extinguished, or modified) under which the Generico Parties have or may in the future have rights to assert claims pursuant to Section 5.01(b) in a manner that would adversely affect any such rights of the Generico Parties, (i) the Alpha Parties will give the Generico Parties prior notice thereof and consult with the Generico Parties with respect to such action (it being understood that the decision to take any such action will be in the sole discretion of the Alpha Parties) and (ii) the Alpha Parties will pay to the Generico Parties its equitable share (which shall be mutually agreed upon by the Alpha Parties and the Generico Parties, acting reasonably, based on the amount of premiums paid by or allocated to the Generico Business in respect of the applicable Shared Policy), if any, of any net proceeds actually received by the Alpha Parties from the insurer under the applicable Shared Policy as a result of such action by the Alpha Parties (after deducting the Alpha Parties' reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such action).

 

36


(d) Administration From and after the Distribution Time:

(i) one of the Alpha Parties will be responsible for the Claims Administration with respect to claims of the Alpha Parties and their Subsidiaries under Shared Policies; and

(ii) one of the Generico Parties will be responsible for the Claims Administration with respect to claims of the Generico Parties and their Subsidiaries under Shared Policies.

(e) Insurance Premiums. From and after the Distribution Time, the Alpha Parties will pay all premiums, Taxes, assessments or similar charges (retrospectively-rated or otherwise) as required under the terms and conditions of the respective Shared Policies in respect of periods prior to the Distribution Date.

(f) Agreement for Waiver of Conflict and Shared Defense. In the event that a Shared Policy provides coverage for both the Alpha Parties and/or one of their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Generico Parties and/or one of their Subsidiaries, on the other hand, relating to the same occurrence, the Alpha Parties and the Generico Parties agree to defend jointly and to waive any conflict of interest necessary to the conduct of that joint defense. Any deductible applicable to such occurrences under such Shared Policies will be allocated between the Alpha Parties and/or one of their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Generico Parties and/or one of their Subsidiaries, on the other hand, on a pro rata basis by claim. Nothing in this Section 5.01(f) will be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the indemnity obligations of the parties to this Agreement, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

(g) Duty to Mitigate Settlements. To the extent that any member of any Group is responsible for the Claims Administration for any claims under any Shared Policies after the Distribution Date, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate the amount of any settlements of such claims.

Section 5.02. Use of Names.

(a) Subject to Section 5.02(c) below, any material showing any affiliation or connection of any member of the Generico Group with any member of the Alpha Group shall not be used by the Generico Parties or any member of the Generico Group after the Distribution Time, except that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.02(a) shall not apply to filings, reports and other documents required by Applicable Laws or regulations of securities exchanges to be filed and/or made publicly available and shall not apply to any showing of affiliation or conflicts as a result of common directors or stockholders.

(b) Subject to Section 5.02(d) below, any material showing any affiliation or connection of any member of the Alpha Group with any member of the Generico Group shall not be used by the Alpha Parties or any member of the Alpha Group after the Distribution Time, except that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.02(b) shall not apply to filings, reports and other documents required by Applicable Laws or regulations of securities exchanges to be filed and/or made publicly available and shall not apply to any showing of affiliation or conflicts as a result of common directors or stockholders.

(c) The parties agree that, during the period from the Distribution Time until the first anniversary of the Distribution Time (the "Generico Sell-off Period"), the Generico Group shall be entitled to continue to use all trademarks or other source identifiers owned by the members of the Alpha Group (the "Alpha Trademarks") to the extent that such Alpha Trademarks are contained as of the Distribution Date on any product packaging, business cards, schedules, stationery, displays, signs, Promotional Materials, manuals, forms, computer software and other material used in the Generico Business, without any obligation on the part of the Generico Parties to pay royalties or similar fees to any member of the Alpha Group during the Generico Sell-off Period; provided, however, that such use is in substantially the same manner as prior to the Distribution Time and to the extent that it is used in connection with products and services only for the same products and services in connection with which such use was made by the Generico Parties prior to the Distribution Time and which are of the same quality as the products and services in connection with which the Alpha Trademarks were used prior to the Distribution Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Generico Group may continue to use appropriate Alpha Trademarks in the packaging and labeling of the Generico Products beyond the Generico Sell-off Period to the extent that a Governmental Authorization that is necessary to change the packaging or labeling of any Generico Products has not been obtained. Generico agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain such Governmental Authorizations. Subject to the preceding sentences, the Generico Parties agree that, upon termination of the Generico Sell-off Period, the Generico Parties shall and shall cause the other members of the Generico Group to cease and thereafter not make any use of the Alpha Trademarks, except such restriction shall not apply to filings, reports and other documents required by Applicable Laws or regulations of securities exchanges to be filed and/or made publicly available.

(d) The parties agree that, during the period from the Distribution Time until the first anniversary of the Distribution Time (the "Alpha Sell-off Period"), the Alpha Group shall be entitled to continue to use all trademarks or other source identifiers owned by the members of the Generico Group (the "Generico Trademarks") to the extent that such Generico Trademarks are contained as of the Distribution Date on any product packaging, business cards, schedules, stationery, displays, signs, Promotional Materials, manuals, forms, computer software and other material used in the Alpha Business, without any obligation on the part of the Alpha Parties to pay royalties or similar fees to the Generico Parties during the Alpha Sell-off Period; provided, however, that such use is in substantially the same manner as prior to the Distribution Time and to the extent that it is used in connection with products and services only for the same products and services in connection with which such use was made by the Alpha Parties prior to the Distribution Time and which are of the same quality as the products and services in connection with which the Generico Trademarks were used prior to the Distribution Time. The Alpha Parties agree that, upon termination of the Alpha Sell-off Period, the Alpha Parties shall and shall cause the other members of the Alpha Group to cease and thereafter not make any use of the Generico Trademarks, except such restriction shall not apply to historical references contained in filings, reports and other documents required by Applicable Laws or regulations of securities exchanges to be filed and/or made publicly available.

Section 5.03. Subsequent Transfers.

(a) If following the Distribution Time a member of the Generico Group has knowledge that it possesses or has obtained any Alpha Assets, the Generico Parties shall notify the Alpha Parties thereof and shall cause the prompt transfer of such Alpha Assets to the Alpha Parties for no additional consideration (subject toSection 3.01(j)) to the Alpha Parties; provided that in the event such Alpha Asset shall have been sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of prior to a member of the Generico Group being aware that it is an Alpha Asset, the Alpha Parties shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Generico Group for the fair market value thereof as of the Distribution Date.

(b) If following the Distribution Time a member of the Alpha Group has knowledge that it possesses or has obtained any Generico Assets, the Alpha Parties shall notify the Generico Parties thereof and the Alpha Parties shall cause the prompt transfer of such Generico Assets to the Generico Parties for no additional consideration (subject to Section 3.01(j)(vi) and Section 3.01(m)) to the Generico Parties; provided that in the event such Generico Asset shall have been sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of prior to a member of the Alpha Group being aware that it is a Generico Asset, the Generico Parties shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Alpha Group for the fair market value thereof as of the Distribution Date.

(c) It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that (i) the reimbursement by the Generico Group or the Alpha Group of any amount pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall be treated as relating back to the Generico Contribution and the Alpha Contribution as an adjustment to the Assets contributed to Generico in the Generico Contribution and as owned by New Alpha, LLC immediately prior to the Alpha Contribution and (ii) the recipient of any such reimbursement payment be treated as if it sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of the Alpha Asset or the Generico Asset, as the case may be. The parties to this Agreement shall not take any position inconsistent with such intention before any Tax authority (and the recipient of any such reimbursement will pay the Tax resulting from the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Alpha Assets or the Generico Asset, as the case may be) except to the extent that a final determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code) with respect to any of the parties to this Agreement causes any such reimbursement not to be so treated.

Section 5.04. Reporting Cooperation.

The Alpha Parties and their Subsidiaries shall provide reasonable assistance to the Generico Parties in connection with the collection of Information by Gholdco in connection with the preparation of its SEC reports and filings with respect to periods relating the fiscal year in which the Share Distribution occurs or any fiscal year prior thereto, as provided in the Transition Services Agreement. The Generico Parties and their Subsidiaries shall (and the Alpha Parties shall reimburse them for any reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred and payable to third parties in connection therewith) provide reasonable assistance to the Alpha Parties in connection with the collection of Information by New Alpha in connection with the preparation of its SEC reports and filings with respect to periods relating to the fiscal year in which the Share Distribution occurs.

(b) Name Change. Immediately following the completion of the Transactions, Gholdco will take such action as is necessary to change its name to APP Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Following such name change, New Alpha will take such action as is necessary to change its name to "Abraxis Bioscience, Inc."
