No investment by the Paying Agent of the aggregate Merger Consideration shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Payment Procedures. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock (i) a letter of transmittal (which, in the case of shares of Company Common Stock represented by Certificates, shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree and shall be prepared prior to Closing) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Paying Agent or receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent), the holder of such Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to any required withholding taxes, the Merger Consideration, without interest, for each share of Company Common Stock surrendered, and any such Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (x) the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (y) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, without interest.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of shares of Company Common Stock upon the surrender for exchange in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock, and at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall (automatically, and without further action by any Person) be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that evidenced ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2(e), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article II.

(e) Termination of Fund. At any time following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) that had been made available to the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed in accordance with this Article II, and thereafter Persons entitled to receive payment pursuant to this Article II shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon surrender of any Company Common Stock held by such holders, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, the Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), or under any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. If any withholding obligation may be avoided or reduced by such holder providing information or documentation to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such holder shall be permitted to provide such information or documentation in order to avoid or reduce any such withholding. To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.3 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a stockholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with the provisions of, Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Stockholders”), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (the “Dissenting Shares”), but shall instead be converted solely into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such Dissenting Stockholder shall cease

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such Dissenting Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each such share of Company Common Stock, in accordance with Section 2.1, without any interest thereon, and such shares shall not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent (a) prompt notice, together with copies, of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and (b) Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle any such demands or waive any failure to properly make or effect any such appraisal demand or other action required to perfect appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.4 Company Stock Options and Restricted Stock.

(a) Each option that represents the right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock granted under the Company Plans which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested or exercisable) (each, an “Option”) shall at the Effective Time be cancelled and terminated at the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive a cash amount equal to the Option Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock then subject to the Option. The Option Consideration shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation within two (2) Business Days of the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Option Consideration” means, with respect to any share of Company Common Stock issuable under a particular Option, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Merger Consideration per share of Company Common Stock over (ii) the exercise price payable in respect of such share of Company Common Stock issuable under such Option; provided, however, that if the exercise price per share of any such Option is equal to or greater than the per share Merger Consideration, such Option shall be canceled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Warrants are not options granted under the Company Plans.

(b) Each share of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to any Company Stock Plan that is subject to specified vesting criteria (each, a share of “Restricted Stock”) which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall at the Effective Time become fully vested and be treated in accordance with Section 2.1.

(c) The right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock under the ESPP is not an Option for purposes of this Agreement. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the ESPP) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to provide that, with respect to the ESPP: (i) each individual participating in the Offering Period (as defined in the ESPP) in progress as of the date of this Agreement (the “Final Offering”) shall not be

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

permitted (x) to increase the amount of his or her rate of payroll contributions thereunder from the rate in effect when the Final Offering commenced, or (y) to make separate non-payroll contributions to the ESPP on or following the date of this Agreement; (ii) each individual participating in the Offering Period (as defined in the ESPP) in progress as of the date of this Agreement shall receive notice of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date and shall have an opportunity to terminate his or her outstanding purchase rights under the ESPP; (iii) no individual who is not participating in the ESPP as of the date of this Agreement may commence participation in the ESPP following the date of this Agreement; (iv) the Final Offering shall end on June 30, 2011; (v) each ESPP participant’s accumulated contributions under the ESPP shall be used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the ESPP as of the end of the Final Offering; (vi) the applicable purchase price for Company Common Stock as set forth in the ESPP shall not be decreased below the levels set forth in the ESPP as of the date of this Agreement, and (vii) the ESPP shall terminate immediately following the end of the Final Offering and no further rights shall be granted or exercised under the ESPP thereafter.

(d) The Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 2.4 to any holder of Options and shares of Restricted Stock such amounts as the Surviving Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, or local Tax Law, and the Surviving Corporation shall make any required filings with and payments to Tax authorities relating to any such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Surviving Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Options or Restricted Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation.

(e) No later than the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to the Surviving Corporation all funds necessary to fulfill the obligations under this Section 2.4.

Section 2.5 Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article II to the contrary, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the occurrence or record date of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange or readjustment of shares or similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

internal, analysts’ or other earnings estimates or financial projections or forecasts for any period, or any changes in credit ratings and any changes in any analysts recommendations or ratings with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (provided that the underlying causes of such decline or change may be considered in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred); and (xi) any pending, initiated or threatened legal or administrative proceeding, claim, suit or action against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers or directors, in each case, arising out of or relating to (A) the execution of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (B) the attempt and proposal by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (“Valeant”) to acquire the Company or the consent solicitation related thereto, as such proposal or consent solicitation may be amended from time to time; provided, that with respect to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (vi), any effects resulting from any change, event, occurrence, circumstance or effect that has a disproportionate effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other comparable companies in the industry in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate shall be counted for purposes of determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred, but only to the extent of such disproportionate effect.

(b) Each of the Company’s subsidiaries that constitutes a “significant subsidiary” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act (“Significant Subsidiary”) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, except where the failure to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall notify Parent in advance of beginning to provide information to any third party related to a Takeover Proposal or beginning discussions with a third party related to a Takeover Proposal. In addition, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement, including by obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in any court of the United States of America or of any state having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be permitted to terminate, amend, modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar obligation of any Person if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be a violation of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law.

(c) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.3, neither the Company nor the Board of Directors of the Company shall (i)(A) withdraw, modify or qualify, or publicly propose to withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, or the Company Board Recommendation or (B) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, to the stockholders of the Company any Takeover Proposal (any action

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) authorize, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose to adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or similar agreement with respect to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.3(b) pursuant to and in accordance with the limitations set forth therein).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (and, solely with respect to a Superior Proposal, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii)), if either (A)(1) the Board of Directors of the Company receives a written Takeover Proposal from any Person that is not withdrawn and (2) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or (B) a material development or material change in circumstances occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement that was not known by the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date of this Agreement and does not relate to (i) a Takeover Proposal or (ii) a material development or material change in circumstances of Parent, that does not also relate to the Company, in the case of either clause (A) or clause (B) of this Section 5.3(d), if and only if:

(i) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors of the Company to take such action would reasonably be expected to be a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(ii) solely with respect to clause (A) above of this Section 5.3(d) with respect to a Superior Proposal:

(1) the Company provides Parent prior written notice of its intent to make any such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) at least four (4) Business Days prior to taking such action, to the effect that the Board of Directors of the Company has received a Superior Proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company has resolved to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii), which notice shall specify the basis for such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or termination, including the material terms of the Superior Proposal (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) (it being understood that such Notice of Superior Proposal shall not in itself be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation Change);

(2) during such four (4) Business Day period, the Company negotiates in good faith with Parent (to the extent that Parent wishes to negotiate) to enable Parent to make an offer that is at least as favorable to the

40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

stockholders of the Company so that such Takeover Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal;

(3) Parent does not, within such four (4) Business Day period, make an offer that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, to be an offer such that such Takeover Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal (provided that, in the event of any amendment to the financial (including form of consideration) or other material terms of such Takeover Proposal, the Company shall deliver to Parent a new written Notice of Superior Proposal and shall comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(d) with respect to such new Notice of Superior Proposal); and

(4) the Company’s Board of Directors, after taking into account any modifications to the terms of this Agreement and the Merger agreed to by Parent and Merger Sub after receipt of such notice, continues to believe that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to the shareholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to the shareholders of the Company if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be a violation of applicable Law or (iii) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 5.3; provided that any Company Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in accordance with Section 5.3(d); it being understood that neither (A) a “stop, look and listen” communication to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the shareholders of the Company) nor (B) a Distribution Date Delay (or a Form 8-K or other disclosure in respect thereof) shall be deemed to be or constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

(f) As used in this Agreement, “Takeover Proposal” shall mean any bona fide proposal or offer (whether in writing or otherwise) from any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub and any of its Affiliates thereof) relating to, or that is reasonably expected to lead to, any direct or indirect purchase or acquisition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of (A) any assets or businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including securities of Subsidiaries) that constitute 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or to which 20% or more of the Company’s revenues, net income or earnings before interest expense, taxes depreciation and amortization on a consolidated basis are attributable, or (B) beneficial ownership (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer, exchange offer, license agreement or similar transaction.

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Takeover Proposal on terms which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and independent financial advisors, and taking into account all the legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Takeover Proposal, would, if consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable to the holders of Company Common Stock from a financial point of view than the Transactions (in each case, taking into account any revisions to this Agreement made or proposed by Parent); provided that for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the references to “20%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) nothing contained in this Section 5.3 shall restrict the ability of the Company and its Representatives from, in connection with Valeant’s existing consent solicitation and any of the Company’s consent revocation solicitations in connection therewith, or any consent solicitation commenced after the date hereof by any third party (including Valeant), whether or not in connection with a Takeover Proposal, continuing to solicit consent revocations and to make statements in connection therewith consistent with the statements that have been made by the Company in its solicitation materials filed with the SEC prior to the date hereof or other statements deemed necessary or desirable by the Company in good faith in connection with such consent revocation solicitations and (ii) no Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall change the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors for purposes of causing any Takeover Provision to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(i) Except with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company shall not (i) redeem the Rights (as defined in the Rights Agreement), (ii) amend the Rights Agreement or (iii) take any action which would allow any Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) other than Parent or Merger Sub to acquire “Beneficial Ownership” (solely for purposes of this Section 5.3(i), as defined in the Rights Agreement) of 20% or more of the Common Stock (as defined in the Rights Agreement) without causing a “Distribution Date,” a “Stock Acquisition Date” or a “Flip-In Event” (as each such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) to occur; provided, that the Board of Directors of the Company shall be permitted to postpone the "Distribution Date" with respect to any Person that commences or announces an intent to commence a tender or exchange offer to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (a "Distribution Date Delay").

Section 5.4 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) use their respective reasonable best efforts to (A) cause the Transactions to be consummated as soon as practicable, (B) make promptly any required submissions and filings under applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions, (C) promptly furnish information required in connection with such submissions and filing under such Antitrust Laws, (D) keep the other parties reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such submissions and filings under Antitrust Laws, including with respect to: (1) the receipt of any non-action, action, clearance, consent, approval or waiver, (2) the expiration of any waiting period, (3) the commencement or proposed or threatened

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

commencement of any investigation, litigation or administrative or judicial action or proceeding under Antitrust Laws and (4) the nature and status of any objections raised or proposed or threatened to be raised under Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions and (E) obtain all actions or non-actions, approvals, consents, waivers, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable. For purposes hereof, “Antitrust Laws” means the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, the EC Merger Regulation, and all other applicable Foreign Antitrust Laws and all other applicable Laws issued by a Governmental Authority that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as soon as practicable and in any event within ten (10) business days of the date hereof (unless the parties otherwise agree to a different date), and to supply as soon as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions consistent with this Section 5.4 necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act (including any extensions thereof) as soon as practicable; (ii) Parent agrees to file with the European Commission as soon as practicable the Form CO, if any, required for the Transactions pursuant to the EC Merger Regulation and to supply as soon as practical any additional information and documentary material that may be required or requested by the European Commission and use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions consistent with this Section 5.4 necessary to obtain any necessary approvals, consents, waivers, permits, authorizations or other actions or non-actions from the European Commission as soon as practicable. The parties agree that they will use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that they have “substantially complied” with any “second request” for information from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) or U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) or similar request by the European Commission or other Governmental Authority under any Foreign Antitrust Law by October 15, 2011 if such compliance is required for clearance or approval.

(c) The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall: (i) promptly notify the others of, and if in writing, furnish the others with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the others of the contents of) any communication to such Person from a Governmental Authority concerning the Transactions and permit the others to review and discuss in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the others in relation to) any proposed written communication to a Governmental Authority concerning the Transactions, (ii) keep the others reasonably informed of any developments, meetings or discussions with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation, or inquiry concerning the Transactions, including any settlement discussions, and (iii) not independently participate in any meeting or discussions with a Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning the Transactions without giving the other party prior notice of such meeting or discussions and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend or participate. However, each of Parent and Company may designate any non-public,

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

competitively-sensitive information provided to any Governmental Authority as restricted to “Outside Antitrust Counsel” only and any such information shall not be shared with employees, officers or directors or their equivalents of the other party without approval of the party providing the non-public information.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub agree to take promptly any and all steps necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain all clearances, consents, approvals and waivers under Antitrust Laws that may be required by any Governmental Authority, so as to enable the parties to close the Transactions as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Walk-Away Date), including (i) committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, or otherwise, the sale, license or other disposition of assets or businesses of Parent or Company or their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) terminating, relinquishing, modifying, or waiving existing relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent or Company or their respective Subsidiaries and (iii) creating any relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent or Company or their respective Subsidiaries (and, in each case, to enter, or offer to enter, into agreements and stipulate to the entry of an order or decree or file appropriate applications with any Governmental Authority in connection with any of the foregoing and in the case of actions by or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or its or their businesses or assets, by consenting to such action by the Company; provided, however, that any such action may, at the discretion of the Company, be conditioned upon consummation of the Transactions) (each a “Divestiture Action”) as may be necessary or required, to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any order, decree or ruling, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the Transactions, and to ensure that no Governmental Authority with the authority to clear, authorize or otherwise approve the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, fails to do so as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Walk-Away Date; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall not be required to take any action or enter into or to negotiate any agreement with any Governmental Authority (1) to divest Nuvigil other than with respect to the divestiture of Nuvigil ANDA rights (and their equivalents under the Laws of other jurisdictions); (2) that places any conduct, operational, financial or ownership restrictions of any kind on the business or actions of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Company), either pre- or post-consummation of the Transactions, other than those that (x) are standard and customary in consent decrees or their equivalent under other Antitrust Laws enforcing asset divestitures and that are directly related to the assets that are being divested or (y) would not reasonably be expected to be material to Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, it being agreed that Parent shall not be required to agree to any such restriction that would materially impair the value of Nuvigil; or (3) that requires relief with respect to Provigil or any generic equivalent of Provigil other than (i) with respect to the divestiture of Provigil ANDA rights (and their equivalents under the Laws of other jurisdictions), and (ii) such relief that is necessary to resolve objections to the Transaction raised in U.S. federal court by the FTC or DOJ that are ruled valid by the applicable court in a successful petition for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the Transactions or to resolve any written objections by Governmental Authorities under any Foreign Antitrust Laws seeking to enjoin or prohibit the Transaction. Parent shall have the sole and exclusive right to propose, negotiate, offer to commit and effect, by consent decree, hold

44

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

separate order or otherwise, any and all Divestiture Actions or otherwise to offer to take or offer to commit (and if such offer is accepted, commit to and effect) to take any Divestiture Action as may be required to resolve any Governmental Authority’s objections to the Transaction, provided, however, that Parent shall consider in good faith the views of the Company and its counsel in connection therewith.

(e) In the event that any litigation or other administrative or judicial action or proceeding is commenced challenging any of the Transactions and such litigation, action or proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent the consummation of the Transactions, Parent shall, subject to the terms of this Section 5.4, take any and all action to resolve any such litigation, action or proceeding and each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest any such litigation, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions.

(f) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall, nor shall they permit their respective Subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire any rights, assets, business, Person or division thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, collaboration or otherwise), if such acquisition, would reasonably be expected to materially increase the risk of not obtaining any applicable clearance, consent, approval or waiver under Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions.

Section 5.5 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company. Following such initial press release, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and obtaining the other party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except that no such consent shall be necessary to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.5 shall not apply to any release or public statement (a) made or proposed to be made by the Company in connection with a Takeover Proposal, a Superior Proposal, a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or any action taken pursuant thereto, (b) in connection with any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement or the Transactions or (c) made pursuant to Section 5.3(h).

Section 5.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, from the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall afford, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to afford, to Parent and Parent’s Representatives (i) reasonable access during normal business hours to the Company’s and its

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subsidiaries’ personnel, properties, books, Contracts and records, and the Company shall furnish promptly to Parent such information concerning its business, assets, liabilities, employees and other aspects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, as Parent may reasonably request (other than any publicly available document filed by it pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws), (ii) permit Parent and Merger Sub to make such inspections as they may reasonably require and (iii) cause its officers and those of its Subsidiaries to furnish Parent and Merger Sub with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business, properties, litigation matters, personnel and environmental compliance of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent or Merger Sub may from time to time reasonably request (including any final revenue summary and final summary monthly financial reporting package that is provided to the Company’s senior executive managers and a monthly discussion of such materials with the Company’s senior executive managers); provided that Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide such access or information if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so would violate applicable Law or a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party, jeopardize the protection of the attorney-client privilege, or expose the Company to risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information or deemed in good faith to be too competitively sensitive to warrant disclosure (provided that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, as may be requested by Parent, to take such other actions (such as the redaction of identifying or confidential information, entry into a joint defense agreement or other agreement or by providing such access, inspections, data or other information solely to outside counsel to avoid the loss of attorney client privilege) as is necessary to provide such access, inspections, data or other information to Parent and Parent’s Representatives in compliance with applicable Law unless the Company in good faith deems such action to be materially harmful to the Company’s business interests). Until the Effective Time, the information provided will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of April 11, 2011, between Parent and the Company (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, use such information for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the Transactions, it being acknowledged and agreed that the execution of this Agreement by the Company shall (A) constitute written consent by the Company, and the Confidentiality Agreement is hereby deemed amended and or waived to the extent required, to allow Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives to contact and provide Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) to potential sources of financing and their Representatives and (B) result in the ending of the Standstill Period (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) and the termination of Parent’s obligations pursuant to paragraph 5 thereof.

Section 5.7 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent or (b) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party

46

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or any of its subsidiaries which relate to this Agreement, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.8 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless (including by advancing expenses) each current and former director, officer and employee of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries and each person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any actual or threatened claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) (each, a “Claim”), whenever asserted, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission relating to their position with the Company or its Subsidiaries occurring or alleged to have occurred before or at the Effective Time (including any Claim relating in whole or in part to the Agreement or the Transactions), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. Each of (x) the Company Charter Documents and the respective organizational documents of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries as currently in effect, (y) any indemnification agreements with an Indemnitee listed on Section 5.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which shall in each case survive the Transactions and continue in full force and effect to the extent permitted by applicable Law and (z) the respective organizational documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries as currently in effect shall not, for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees except, in the case of clauses (x) and (z), as required by applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, at the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation to include provisions for limitation of liabilities of directors and officers, indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the Indemnitees no less favorable to the Indemnitees than as set forth in the Company Charter Documents in effect on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall, for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees except as required by applicable Law.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to obtain and fully pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time from the Company’s current insurance carrier or from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (the “D&O Insurance”) for the persons who, as of the date of this Agreement, are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance. Such “tail” insurance policies shall have terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable as the Company’s existing D&O Insurance with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection

47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with this Agreement and the Transactions); provided, however, that the maximum aggregate premium for such insurance policies for any such year shall not be in excess of the Maximum Premium. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain such “tail” insurance policies in full force and effect for their full term. If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect, at no expense to the Indemnitees, for a period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time, the Company’s D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or, if such insurance is unavailable, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, purchase the best available D&O Insurance for such six-year period from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to the Company’s existing D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and with levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to pay an aggregate premium for such insurance policies in excess of 250% of the annual premium paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year for such insurance (the “Maximum Premium”); and provided, further, that if the premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.8 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for or limitation of, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

(d) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 5.8.

Section 5.9 Fees and Expenses. Except as provided in Section 7.3, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring or required to incur such fees or expenses.

Section 5.10 Section 16. The Company shall take all steps reasonably necessary to cause the Transactions, including any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities with respect to such equity securities of the Company) by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.11 Employee Matters.

48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each active employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) (“Company Employees”) annual base salary and base wages, annual cash incentive opportunity, and employee benefits, in each case, that are no less favorable in the aggregate than such annual base salary and base wages, annual cash incentive opportunity, and employee benefits provided to the Company Employees on the effective date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (x) (i) Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide Company Employees whose employment terminates during the two-year period following the Effective Time with severance benefits at levels no less than and pursuant to the terms of the Company’s severance policies as set forth on Section 5.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and (ii) such severance benefits shall be determined taking into account the service crediting provisions set forth in Section 5.11(b) below; and (y) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to participate in the Retiree Health Access program (or a successor or similar program) during the two year period following the Effective Time in the same manner as the Company participates in such program immediately prior to the Effective Time, to the extent such program remains available on terms, and a cost, comparable to those in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits but not for purposes of defined benefit pension accrual) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Company Employee after the Effective Time (including the Company Plans) (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was credited, before the Effective Time, for such service under any similar Company employee benefit plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Company Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent such conditions were inapplicable or waived under the comparable Old Plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Company Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

49

Section 5.12 Obligations of Parent and of the Company. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Parent to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such

50

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of the Surviving Corporation to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

Section 6.4 Frustration of Closing Conditions. None of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 6.2 or 6.3, as the case may be, to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions, as required by Section 5.4.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

Section 7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval (with any termination by Parent also being an effective termination by Merger Sub):

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent; or

(b) by either of the Company or Parent:

(i) if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before December 2, 2011 (as it may be extended pursuant to the following proviso, the “Walk-Away Date”); provided, however, that if the Closing has not occurred by such date and on such date the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(b) have not been satisfied or waived and each of the other conditions to consummation of the Merger set forth in Article VI has been satisfied, waived or remains capable of satisfaction, then the Walk-Away Date shall automatically be extended to March 2, 2012; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Merger to have been consummated on or before the Walk-Away Date was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) if any Restraint having the effect set forth in Section 6.1(c) shall be in effect and shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a party that has failed to comply with its obligations under Section 5.4 in any material respect with respect to Restraint;

(d) by the Company,

(i) if Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or (b) and (ii) cannot be cured by Parent or Merger Sub by the Walk-Away Date or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within 30 calendar days following receipt of written notice from the Company stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(d) and the basis for such termination; provided that, Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(d) if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder; or

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article of, a Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. When used in reference to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the term “material” shall be measured against the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Any Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor Law. References to a Person are also to its permitted assigns and successors. All references to “dollars” or “$” refer to currency of the United States of America.

(b) The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(c) Disclosure of any matter in any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosure of such matter with respect to any other sections of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule, respectively, to which such matter is specifically cross referenced or to which such matter relates to the extent it is reasonably apparent from the text of such disclosure that such disclosure applies to the relevant representation or warranty of such other Section. The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of materiality of such item, nor shall it establish any standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.

(d) No party hereto nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability or obligation to any other party hereto or any other Person resulting from the distribution to it of, or its use of, any information, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts of other material made available to it in certain “data rooms” (electronic or otherwise) or management presentations in expectation of the transactions contemplated hereby, unless any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in Article III or Article IV, as applicable, of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) none of the other parties hereto nor any Person on behalf of such other party is making or has made (A) any representation or warranty whatsoever, either express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided or made available to it or any of its

68
