(b) Within ten (10) days after the delivery of each Report, the Baxalta Parties shall deliver to the Baxter Parties a Notice in which the Baxalta Parties shall either:

(i) agree in writing with the Aggregate Net Income Amount (and, accordingly each of the Swiss Aggregate Net Income Amount, the Dutch Aggregate Net Income Amount and the US Aggregate Net Income Amount), in which case such calculation shall be final and binding on the Parties; or

(ii) dispute the Aggregate Net Income Amount (or any component thereof) by delivering to the Baxter Parties a Notice (a “Net Income Dispute Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute and certifying that such disputed Aggregate Net Income Amount is being disputed in good faith.

For purposes of this Section 2.06(b), the Baxalta Parties may only deliver a Net Income Dispute Notice on the basis that the Baxter Parties’ calculation of the Aggregate Net Income Amount (or any component thereof): (1) was not in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2.05(b); or (2) contains mathematical errors in its calculation.

(c) If the Baxalta Parties fail to provide a Net Income Dispute Notice within ten (10) days after delivery of the Report, then the Baxalta Parties shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Aggregate Net Income Amount (and, accordingly each of the Swiss Aggregate Net Income Amount, the Dutch Aggregate Net Income Amount and the US Aggregate Net Income Amount), in which case, the Aggregate Net Income Amount (and, accordingly each of the Swiss Aggregate Net Income Amount, the Dutch Aggregate Net Income Amount and the US Aggregate Net Income Amount) shall be final and binding on the Parties.

(d) If the Baxalta Parties timely deliver a Net Income Dispute Notice to the Baxter Parties or there is otherwise a dispute between the Parties with respect to the matters set forth in Section 2.04(b) or with respect to any of the information delivered pursuant to Section 2.06, then the Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties shall attempt in good faith, for a period of thirty (30) days, to resolve the dispute between the Parties. Any resolution by the Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties during such thirty (30) day period as to any items in dispute shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties do not resolve all such items in dispute by the end of such thirty (30) day period, then the Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties shall engage a mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of recognized international standing (or such other firm as agreed by the Parties), which firm is not the regular auditing firm of either Baxter or Baxalta, and shall submit to such independent accounting firm the remaining items in dispute (the “Unresolved Disputes”) for resolution. If the Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties are unable to jointly select such independent accounting firm within fifteen (15) days after such thirty (30) day period, the Baxter Parties, on the one hand, and the Baxalta Parties, on the other hand, shall each select an independent accounting firm of recognized international standing and each such selected accounting firm shall select a third independent accounting firm of recognized international standing, which firm is not the regular auditing firm of either Baxter or Baxalta (such selected independent accounting firm, whether pursuant to this sentence or the preceding sentence, the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Independent Accounting Firm shall act as an accounting expert, but not as an arbitrator, to determine based solely on the provisions of this Section 2.06 (or Section 2.04(b)) and the presentations by the Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties, and not by independent review, only the Unresolved Disputes and only as to whether such amounts were arrived at in conformity with Section 2.06 and Schedule 2.05(b) (or Section 2.04(b)). The Baxter Parties and the Baxalta

 

11

---

Parties shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to render its determination with respect to the Unresolved Disputes in a written report that specifies the conclusions of the Independent Accounting Firm as to each Unresolved Dispute. The Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties shall each use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render its determination within ten (10) days after referral of the Unresolved Disputes to such firm or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination as set forth in its report shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated by the Independent Accounting Firm between the Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties based on the relative merits of their respective positions in respect of the Unresolved Dispute.

(e) For purposes of complying with this Section 2.06, the Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties shall furnish to each other and to the Independent Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the Unresolved Dispute as the Independent Accounting Firm may request and are available to such Parties (or their independent public accountants) and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material related to the Unresolved Dispute and to discuss any items relating to the Unresolved Dispute with the Independent Accounting Firm. The Parties shall require that the Independent Accounting Firm enter into a reasonable engagement letter and customary confidentiality agreement with respect to the work papers and other documents and information provided to the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.06.

(f) Within five (5) Business Days after the Aggregate Net Income Amount (and, accordingly each of the Swiss Aggregate Net Income Amount, the Dutch Aggregate Net Income Amount and the US Aggregate Net Income Amount) has become final and binding with respect to any month: (i) Baxter Swiss shall pay to Baxalta Swiss (if the Swiss Aggregate Net Income Amount is a positive number) or Baxalta Swiss shall pay to Baxter Swiss (if the Swiss Aggregate Net Income Amount is a negative number) the Swiss Aggregate Net Income Amount by wire transfer (or such other method of payment as may be agreed between Baxter Swiss and Baxalta Swiss) in Euros; (ii) Baxter Netherlands shall pay to Baxalta Netherlands (if the Dutch Aggregate Net Income Amount is a positive number) or Baxalta Netherlands shall pay to Baxter Netherlands (if the Dutch Aggregate Net Income Amount is a negative number) the Dutch Aggregate Net Income Amount by wire transfer (or such other method of payment as may be agreed between Baxter Netherlands and Baxalta Netherlands) in Euros; and (iii) Baxter US shall pay to Baxalta US (if the US Aggregate Net Income Amount is a positive number) or Baxalta US shall pay to Baxter US (if the US Aggregate Net Income Amount is a negative number) the US Aggregate Net Income Amount by wire transfer (or such other method of payment as may be agreed between Baxter US and Baxalta US) in Dollars; provided that if the amount related to any Deferred Local Baxalta Business is the subject of an Unresolved Dispute, the Swiss Aggregate Net Income Amount, the Dutch Aggregate Net Income Amount or the US Aggregate Net Income Amount, as applicable, calculated excluding only such entities that are the subject of such Unresolved Disputes shall be paid in accordance with this paragraph (with the Swiss Aggregate Net Income Amount, the Dutch Aggregate Net Income Amount or the US Aggregate Net Income Amount, as applicable, with respect to any entities subject to an Unresolved Dispute paid within five (5) Business Days after such amount has become final and binding).

TRANSFER OF DEFERRED BAXALTA LOCAL BUSINESSES

Section 3.01 General. With respect to the Deferred Baxalta Local Business of each Baxter Local Entity, on or before the Termination Date: (a) a Baxalta Party may exercise the right to obtain legal title to the Assets and the Liabilities of such Deferred Baxalta Local Business (whether by directly acquiring such Assets and Liabilities or as a result of acquiring from a Baxter Local Entity the equity interests of a Transferring Entity) from such Baxter Local Entity pursuant to Section 3.02; (b) a Baxalta Party may elect that such Assets and Liabilities of such Deferred Baxalta Local Business be transferred to a distributor pursuant to Section 3.03; or (c) at the request of a Baxalta Party, or in accordance with Section 3.04(b) and Section 3.04(c), the applicable Baxter Local Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell to a Third Party or wind-down the Assets and the Liabilities of such Deferred Baxalta Local Business on terms reasonably acceptable to the applicable Baxter Party and the applicable Baxalta Party (each of (a), (b) and (c), a “Local Closing”). A Baxalta Party shall only be entitled to initiate a Local Closing by providing the Baxter Parties at least ninety (90) days’ prior Notice of the anticipated date (which date shall not be later than the Termination Date) of consummation of such Local Closing; provided, however, that, except with respect to a Local Closing pursuant to Section 3.04, the actual closing date for any Local Closing shall be mutually agreed upon in advance between the Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties (the “Local Closing Date”).

Section 3.02 Transfer to Baxalta Local Entity.

(a) If a Baxalta Party initiates a Local Closing by electing to exercise its right to obtain legal title to the Assets and the Liabilities of the Deferred Baxalta Local Business from a Baxter Local Entity (whether by directly acquiring such Assets and Liabilities or as a result of acquiring from a Baxter Local Entity the equity interests of a Transferring Entity), such right may be transferred by the applicable Baxalta Party to a duly formed Baxalta Local Entity. At such Local Closing, the Baxter Local Entity holding, directly or as a result of its equity interest in the Transferring Entity holding, legal title to the Assets and Liabilities of the applicable Deferred Baxalta Local Business shall sell, transfer, convey and deliver to the applicable Baxalta Local Entity, and the applicable Baxalta Local Entity shall purchase and accept delivery of, all

 

14

---

such Assets or equity interests and the applicable Baxalta Local Entity shall accept, assume and agree faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill all such Liabilities in exchange for a purchase price, if required, equal to the fair market value of such Deferred Local Baxalta Business as of the Local Closing Date. The Conveyance and Assumption Instruments for a Local Closing shall be substantially in the same form as those used by Baxter and Baxalta or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, in connection with the contribution, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Assets (including equity interests) and the transfer of the Liabilities of the Baxalta Business prior to the Distribution Date.

(i) The Parties agree that for the Deferred Baxalta Local Businesses of each of Baxter China, Baxter India, and Baxter Malaysia, Baxter Swiss shall form or acquire separate entities (“Baxalta China”, “Baxalta India” and “Baxalta Malaysia”) into which the Assets and the Liabilities of the Deferred Baxalta Local Business of each of Baxter China, Baxter India and Baxter Malaysia shall be transferred, respectively, prior to Baxter Swiss transferring the equity interests in each of Baxalta China, Baxalta India and Baxalta Malaysia to Baxalta Swiss.

(ii) The Parties agree that for the Deferred Baxalta Local Business of Baxter Brazil, Baxter Netherlands has formed an entity (“Baxalta Brazil”) into which the Assets and the Liabilities of the Deferred Baxalta Local Business of Baxter Brazil shall be transferred prior to Baxter Netherlands transferring the equity interests in Baxalta Brazil to Baxalta Netherlands.

(iii) Prior to the acquisition of the Assets and the Liabilities of any Deferred Baxalta Local Business of a Baxter Local Entity by a Transferring Entity, the Baxter Parties shall consult with and obtain the prior written consent of the Baxalta Parties in connection with the amount of any loan to be provided (each, a “Purchase Price Loan”) and the amount of equity to be injected into the Transferring Entity by a Baxter Party or such other Baxter Subsidiary designated by a Baxter Party to fund the purchase price to be paid by the applicable Transferring Entity for such Assets and Liabilities. To the extent that a Purchase Price Loan is provided by a Baxter Party or a Baxter Subsidiary designated by a Baxter Party, in addition to the equity interests of the Transferring Entity being transferred to a Baxalta Party or a Baxalta Local Entity upon the applicable Local Closing, the loan receivable Asset of the applicable Baxter Party or the applicable Baxter Subsidiary designated by a Baxter Party in connection with such Purchase Price Loan shall also be transferred to the applicable Baxalta Party or Baxalta Local Entity as part of the applicable Local Closing and such loan receivable Asset shall for purposes of this Agreement be considered an Asset of the Deferred Baxalta Local Business.

(b) Subject to Section 3.05, a Baxalta Party shall pay or cause a Baxalta Local Entity to pay the purchase price, if required, to the Baxter Local Entity (or a Baxter Party or such other Baxter Subsidiary designated by the applicable Baxter Party to the extent permitted by applicable Law) on the applicable Local Closing Date in accordance with payment instructions to be provided in writing by the applicable Baxter Party. The purchase price, if required, shall be paid in the local currency of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Baxter Local Entity selling the Assets and the Liabilities of the Deferred Baxalta Local Business (or the equity interests of the Transferring Entity) has its principal place of business (“Local Currency”), or such other

 

15

---

currency as elected by the applicable Baxter Party if so permitted by applicable Law, by converting the applicable amount of Local Currency using (i) the Exchange Rate if the Parties mutually agree upon the purchase price or (ii) the corresponding exchange rate used by the Valuation Firm if the purchase price is determined by the Valuation Firm.

Section 3.03 Transfer to Distributor.

(a) If a Baxalta Party initiates a Local Closing by electing to exercise its right to appoint a distributor (which may include a Baxter Local Entity or other Baxter Subsidiary if such entity reaches a separate agreement with a Baxalta Party to be appointed as distributor) to operate the Deferred Local Baxalta Business, at such Local Closing, the Baxter Local Entity holding legal title to the Assets and Liabilities of the applicable Deferred Baxalta Local Business shall sell, transfer, convey and deliver to (i) the distributor, if the distributor is not a Baxter Local Entity or other Baxter Subsidiary or (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, a Baxalta Party or Baxalta Local Entity if the distributor is a Baxter Local Entity or other Baxter Subsidiary, and the applicable distributor or Baxalta Party or Baxalta Local Entity shall purchase and accept delivery of, all such Assets and the applicable distributor or Baxalta Party or Baxalta Local Entity shall accept, assume and agree faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill all such Liabilities in exchange for a purchase price, if required, equal to the fair market value of such Deferred Local Baxalta Business as of the Local Closing Date, or, to the extent that not all of the Assets and Liabilities of the Deferred Local Baxalta Business are to be acquired by the distributor or a Baxalta Party or Baxalta Local Entity, the fair market value of the applicable Assets and Liabilities as of the Local Closing Date. If any Third Party distributor requires that the applicable Baxter Local Entity indemnify such distributor in connection with the purchase of the applicable Assets and the assumption of the applicable Liabilities of the Deferred Local Baxalta Business, then the applicable Baxalta Party shall indemnify, hold harmless and otherwise guarantee without limitation the applicable Baxter Local Entity for any actions or claims brought against such Baxter Local Entity by the distributor pursuant to such indemnification, provided, however, that the applicable Baxter Local Entity shall not provide any indemnification to any distributor without the prior written consent of a Baxalta Party.

(b) The purchase price shall be paid to the Baxter Local Entity (or a Baxter Party or such other Baxter Subsidiary designated by the applicable Baxter Party to the extent permitted by applicable Law) by or on behalf of (i) a Third Party distributor or (ii) a Baxalta Party or Baxalta Local Entity (if the distributor is a Baxter Local Entity or other Baxter Subsidiary) on the applicable Local Closing Date in accordance with payment instructions to be provided in writing by the applicable Baxter Party. The purchase price shall be paid at the election of the applicable Baxter Party by or on behalf of the distributor or the Baxalta Party or Baxalta Local Entity in the Local Currency, or such other currency as elected by the applicable Baxter Party if so permitted by applicable Law, by converting the applicable amount to Local Currency using (1) the Exchange Rate if the Parties mutually agree upon the purchase price or (2) the corresponding exchange rate used by the Valuation Firm if the purchase price is determined by the Valuation Firm.

(c) To the extent that not all of the Assets and Liabilities of the Deferred Local Baxalta Business of a Baxter Local Entity are acquired by the distributor or a Baxalta Party or Baxalta Local Entity in connection with a Local Closing pursuant to Section 3.03(a) and

 

16

---

are not otherwise acquired and assumed by a Baxalta Party or a Baxalta Local Entity prior to the Termination Date, the applicable Baxter Party shall proceed to use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with Section 3.04 to (i) sell to a Third Party the remaining Assets and Liabilities of the Deferred Local Baxalta Business or (ii) wind-down and liquidate all of the remaining Assets and pay (subject to Section 3.04(d)) all of the remaining Liabilities of such Deferred Baxalta Local Business which are not acquired or assumed (as applicable).

Section 3.04 Sale or Wind-Down.

(a) If, before the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the Termination Date, the Baxalta Parties initiate a Local Closing and request pursuant to Section 3.01(c) that the applicable Baxter Local Entity sell to a Third Party one or more of the Assets and Liabilities of a Deferred Baxalta Local Business or wind-down a Deferred Baxalta Local Business, then the following shall apply:

(i) the applicable Baxter Local Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts in order to sell to a Third Party one or more of the Assets and Liabilities of the applicable Deferred Baxalta Local Business or wind-down the applicable Deferred Baxalta Local Business and liquidate all of the remaining Assets and pay (subject to Section 3.04(d)) all of the remaining Baxalta Liabilities of such applicable Deferred Baxalta Local Business; and

(ii) the applicable Baxalta Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate in good faith, to assist the applicable Baxter Local Entity with such sale or wind-down for the applicable Deferred Baxalta Local Business.

(b) If a Local Closing has not taken place pursuant to Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.04(a) for any Baxter Local Entity on or before the Termination Date, or if the Baxalta Parties have not initiated a Local Closing for any Baxter Local Entity on or before the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the Termination Date in accordance with Section 3.01, then the Baxter Parties may deliver to the Baxalta Parties a Notice setting forth: (i) the name of the Baxter Local Entity or Baxter Local Entities holding any remaining Deferred Baxalta Local Business; (ii) the estimated fair market value of each such remaining Deferred Baxalta Local Business; and (iii) the nature of all Assets and Liabilities of each such remaining Deferred Baxalta Local Business.

(c) If the Baxalta Parties have not delivered the Baxter Parties a Notice, within ten (10) days of receiving the Notice from the Baxter Parties pursuant to Section 3.04(b), that one or more of the Baxalta Parties desires to acquire the Assets and the Liabilities of each such remaining Deferred Baxalta Local Business in accordance with Section 3.02, then the following shall apply:

(i) the applicable Baxter Local Entity shall proceed to use commercially reasonable efforts in order to sell to a Third Party one or more of the Assets and Liabilities of each applicable Deferred Baxalta Local Business or wind-down each Deferred Baxalta Local Business and liquidate all of the remaining Assets and pay (subject to Section 3.04(d)) all of the remaining Baxalta Liabilities of each such Deferred Baxalta Local Business;

 

17

---

(ii) the applicable Baxalta Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate in good faith, to assist the applicable Baxter Local Entity with such sale or wind-down for each applicable Deferred Baxalta Local Business;

(iii) except as set forth in Section 3.04(c)(i), the Baxter Parties and the Baxter Local Entities shall not be required to incur any Liability with respect to the Assets and Liabilities of each remaining Deferred Baxalta Local Business; and

(iv) until the sale, wind-down or liquidation of the remaining Assets or, as applicable, the Deferred Baxalta Local Businesses for which no Local Closing has occurred, the Aggregate Net Income Amount (and, accordingly the Swiss Aggregate Net Income Amount, the Dutch Aggregate Net Income Amount or the US Aggregate Net Income Amount, as applicable) shall continue to be calculated and satisfied monthly in the same manner as was required hereunder prior to the Termination Date.

(d) In the event of any sale, wind-down or liquidation of the Assets of any Deferred Baxalta Local Business pursuant to this Agreement that results in proceeds or Assets (i) in excess of the sum of (1) the cost of such sale, wind-down or liquidation and (2) the Baxalta Liabilities of each such Deferred Baxalta Local Business, the applicable Baxter Party shall pay such excess to a Baxalta Party to the extent it is able to remit outside of its jurisdiction of incorporation all or a part of such amount reasonably proximate to the time of completing such sale, wind-down or liquidation, and (ii) that are insufficient to satisfy the sum of (1) the cost of such sale, wind-down or liquidation and (2) the remaining Baxalta Liabilities of each such Deferred Baxalta Local Business, the Baxalta Parties shall promptly upon request by the Baxter Parties satisfy or cause a Baxalta Local Entity to satisfy the unpaid cost of such sale, wind-down or liquidation and such remaining Baxalta Liabilities (or reimburse or indemnify the Baxter Party or the applicable Baxter Local Entity elected by the Baxter Parties in respect of such cost and remaining Baxalta Liabilities).

Section 3.05 Local Closing Purchase Price.

(a) No later than sixty days (60) days prior to the anticipated date of a Local Closing, the Parties shall determine the fair market value for the Deferred Baxalta Local Business held by the applicable Baxter Local Entity or, to the extent that not all of the Assets and Liabilities of the Deferred Local Baxalta Business are to be acquired by the distributor with respect to a Local Closing pursuant to Section 3.03(a), the fair market value of the applicable Assets and Liabilities. If the Parties are unable to mutually agree upon such fair market value or mutually agree that such fair market value should be determined by an independent accounting or valuation firm, then no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the anticipated date of a Local Closing, the Parties shall engage a mutually agreeable independent accounting or valuation firm of recognized national standing (or such other firm as agreed by the Parties) to determine the fair market value for the Deferred Baxalta Local Business held by the applicable Baxter Local Entity (the “Valuation Firm”). The terms of the appointment and engagement of the Valuation Firm shall be as mutually agreed upon between the Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties. If the

Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties are unable to jointly select or mutually agree upon the appointment and engagement terms of the Valuation Firm, the Baxalta Parties shall select, appoint and engage the Valuation Firm. No report of the Valuation Firm shall be subject to dispute by the Parties except in the case of manifest error.

(b) If, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Baxalta Parties select, appoint and engage the Valuation Firm, then no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Local Closing Date with respect to a Local Closing pursuant to Section 3.02(a) or Section 3.03(a), the Baxalta Parties shall deliver to the Baxter Parties (and the distributor with respect to a Local Closing pursuant to Section 3.03(a)) a report prepared by the Valuation Firm setting forth the fair market value in U.S. dollars and the applicable Local Currency for the applicable Deferred Baxalta Local Business or, to the extent that not all of the Assets and Liabilities of the Deferred Local Baxalta Business are to be acquired by the distributor with respect to a Local Closing pursuant to Section 3.03(a), the fair market value of the applicable Assets and Liabilities.

(c) In connection with the Local Closing involving the purchase of the equity interests of each of Baxalta China, Baxalta India and Baxalta Malaysia and, if applicable, the loan receivable Asset of Baxter Swiss in connection with a Purchase Price Loan, the amount equal to the purchase price payable pursuant to Section 3.02(b) by Baxalta Swiss to Baxter Swiss for each such Local Closing shall be deemed satisfied in full by Baxter Swiss reducing the outstanding principal and accrued interest payable by Baxter Swiss to Baxalta Swiss pursuant to a multicurrency revolving credit agreement dated March 27, 2014, from Baxalta Swiss to Baxter Swiss and the Parties agree that if the amount of the purchase price payable pursuant to Section 3.02(b) for any or all of such Local Closings exceeds or is less than the outstanding principal and accrued interest under such multicurrency revolving credit agreement, then no additional amounts shall be payable by Baxalta Swiss for such excess, and no amount shall be payable by Baxter Swiss for such shortfall.

(d) In connection with the Local Closing involving the purchase of (i) the equity interests of Baxalta Brazil and (ii) the applicable Assets and the assumption of the applicable Liabilities of any other Dutch Local Entity, whether by directly acquiring such Assets and Liabilities or as a result of acquiring from a Baxter Local Entity the equity interests of a Transferring Entity in the Dutch Group, on the Local Closing Date for such Local Closing, Baxter Netherlands shall remit to Baxalta Netherlands an amount equal to the purchase price paid by Baxalta Netherlands to Baxter Netherlands for such Local Closing pursuant to Section 3.02(b).

(b) If a Tax Authority challenges the purchase price for any Local Closing and, as a result of a subsequent Final Determination related thereto, additional Income Taxes are incurred by a Baxter Local Entity, the Baxter Parties shall provide the Baxalta Parties with Notice of the amount of such additional Income Taxes, together with any interest, fines, additions to Tax, penalties or additional amounts imposed by a Taxing Authority relating thereto (“Additional Income Taxes”), together with reasonably supporting documentary evidence thereof. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Notice, a Baxalta Party or a Baxalta Local Entity shall reimburse the Baxter Local Entity for the Additional Taxes; provided, however, that neither the Baxalta Parties nor any Baxalta Local Entity shall have any obligation to pay any additional purchase price as a result of such challenge and Final Determination. The Baxter Parties and the applicable Baxter Local Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any Additional Income Taxes.

(c) Upon the written request of the Baxalta Parties, the Baxter Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prior to the applicable Local Closing for the transfer of the Assets and the Liabilities of the Deferred Baxalta Local Business or the equity interests of a Transferring Entity in the Dutch Group, transfer such Assets and Liabilities or equity interests (the “Restructuring”) in a manner that results in Baxalta Netherlands being obligated, or permitted to satisfy the obligation, to pay any required purchase price in connection with such Local Closing and (ii) reduce any Income Taxes attributable to, resulting from, or arising out of the Restructuring (“Restructuring Income Taxes”). Within thirty (30) days of any payment by Baxter for any Restructuring Income Taxes incurred in connection with the Restructuring (but without modifying the responsibility for Income Taxes in connection with the subsequent Local Closing as set forth in Section 3.06(a), a Baxalta Party shall reimburse the Baxter Local Entities for such Restructuring Income Taxes to the extent Baxalta has consented in advance to the Restructuring and the estimated amount of the Restructuring Incomes Taxes to be incurred in connection therewith.

(d) Any Transfer Taxes together with any notarial and registry fees and recording costs imposed by any Tax Authority or other Governmental Authority arising or attributable to the transfer of the Deferred Baxalta Local Business at the Local Closing shall be borne by the party primarily responsible under applicable Law for such Transfer Taxes; provided, however, that the other party shall pay and be solely responsible for all Transfer Taxes that are recoupable by such party. To the extent that one party claims any exemptions from any Transfer Taxes, such party shall provide to the other party the appropriate exemption certificates or any other documentation that evidences such exemption. The Baxter Local Entity and the Baxalta Local Entity shall cooperate in timely making and filing all Tax Returns that may be required to comply with applicable Law relating to the Transfer Taxes.

ARTICLE IV

ARTICLE V

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 5.01 Dispute Resolution. Other than as set forth in Section 2.06, in the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of any provision of this Agreement, including claims seeking redress or asserting rights under any Law (each, a “Dispute”), such Dispute shall be resolved: (a) first, by negotiation by the applicable local or functional leads (if applicable to any Dispute), and then (if there remains a Dispute) by discussions between the designated leaders of Baxter’s and Baxalta’s respective Project Management Offices related to the Separation, followed by (if there remains a Dispute) negotiation by and among the members of the Transition Committee, with the possibility of mediation as provided in Section 5.02; and (b) then, if negotiation and mediation fail, by binding arbitration as provided in Section 5.03. Each Party agrees on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries that the procedures set forth in this Article V shall be the exclusive means for resolution of any Dispute. The initiation of mediation or arbitration hereunder will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such proceedings.

Section 5.02 Negotiation and Mediation. If a Party serves written notice of a Dispute upon another Party (a “Dispute Notice”), the Parties will first attempt to resolve such Dispute by direct discussions and negotiation (including as set forth in Section 5.01 above). If the Parties to the Dispute agree, the Parties may also attempt to resolve the Dispute by a mediation administered by the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (“CPR”) under its Mediation Procedure.

Section 5.03 Arbitration.

(a) If a Dispute is not resolved within forty-five (45) days (or later if mutually agreed by the Parties) after the service of a Dispute Notice, each Party shall have the right to commence arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by the CPR pursuant to its Arbitration Rules and Procedures. References herein to any arbitration rules or procedures mean such rules or procedures as amended from time to time, including any successor rules or procedures, and references herein to the CPR include any successor thereto. The arbitration shall be before three (3) arbitrators. The Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties shall each designate one arbitrator in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in Rule 5.4 of the CPR Rules. The two party-appointed arbitrators will select the third, who will serve as the panel’s chair or president. This arbitration provision, and the arbitration itself, shall be governed by the laws of Delaware and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.

 

21

---

(b) Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, each Party will, upon the written request of the other Parties, promptly provide the other Parties with copies of documents on which the producing Party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim or defense. At the request of a Party, the arbitrators shall have the discretion to order examination by deposition of witnesses to the extent the arbitrator deems such additional discovery relevant and appropriate. Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of five (5) for each of the Baxter Parties and the Baxalta Parties and shall be held within forty-five (45) days of the grant of a request. Additional depositions may be scheduled only with the permission of the arbitrators, and for good cause shown. Each deposition shall be limited to a maximum of one day’s duration. All objections are reserved for the arbitration hearing except for objections based on privilege and proprietary or confidential information. The Parties shall not utilize any other discovery mechanisms, including international processes and U.S. federal statutes, to obtain additional evidence for use in the arbitration. Any Dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrators, which determination shall be conclusive. All discovery shall be completed within sixty (60) days following the appointment of the arbitrators. All costs and fees relating to the retrieval, review and production of electronic discovery shall be paid by the Party requesting such discovery.

(c) The panel of arbitrators shall have no power to award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort. The arbitrators shall have no power or authority, under the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration or otherwise, to relieve the Parties from their agreement hereunder to arbitrate or otherwise to amend or disregard any provision of this Agreement. The award of the arbitrators shall be final, binding and the sole and exclusive remedy to the Parties. Each Party may seek to confirm and enforce any final award entered in arbitration, in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) If an arbitral award does not impose an injunction on the losing Party or contain a money damages award in excess of $25,000,000, then the arbitral award shall not be appealable and shall only be subject to such challenges as would otherwise be permissible under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. In the event that the arbitration does result in an arbitral award, which imposes an injunction or a monetary award in excess of $25,000,000, such award may be appealed to a tribunal of appellate arbitrators via the CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure.

(e) Except as may be required by Law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all Parties.

Section 5.04 Interim Relief. At any time during the resolution of a Dispute between the Parties, each Party has the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim relief, including pre-arbitration attachments or injunctions, necessary to preserve the Parties’ rights or to maintain the Parties’ relative positions until such time as the arbitration award is rendered or the Dispute is otherwise resolved.

Section 5.05 Remedies. The arbitrators shall have no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement nor any right or power to award punitive, exemplary or treble damages (or other multiple damages that are not actual damages).

 

22

---

Section 5.06 Expenses. Each Party shall bear its own costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees in pursuit and resolution of any Dispute; provided, however, that, in the event of any arbitration pursuant to Section 5.03, the non-prevailing Party shall bear all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such arbitration (including the fees of any arbitrator).

Section 5.07 Continuation of Commitments. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement to the extent required by this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article V with respect to all matters related to such Dispute.
