WHEREAS, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth on Schedule I.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, transfer, assign, deliver and relinquish to Buyer in perpetuity, free and clear of all Liens, all right, title and interest in and to, and only to, the Acquired Assets. As used in this Agreement, “Acquired Assets” means the following assets, properties, rights and interests:
(a) the VersaVue Software (and its predecessors) and the DynaCAD Product, all Intellectual Property associated therewith, including the Intellectual Property set forth on Schedule 1.1(a)(i), and all other Intellectual Property used in or that relates to that portion of Seller’s business to which the VersaVue Software and the DynaCAD Product relate (the “Business”), including all Intellectual Property developed pursuant to or in connection with the Existing License Agreement, and all files and disclosures relating to the foregoing and all goodwill associated with the foregoing, together with all claims against third parties for profits and all claims and Losses (including interest which may be imposed in connection therewith), including any such claims or Losses incurred by reason of the past infringement, alleged infringement, unauthorized use or disclosure or alleged unauthorized use or disclosure of any such Intellectual Property, together with the right to xxx for, and collect the same, or to xxx for injunctive relief, for Buyer’s own use and benefit, and for the use and benefit of its successors,
assigns or other legal representatives (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Acquired Intellectual Property”), but excluding the Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 1.1(a)(ii) (the “Excluded Intellectual Property”);
(b) all rights to the information, materials, data and work product in respect of research and development activities conducted or being conducted in connection with the Acquired Intellectual Property;
(c) all inventory of the VersaVue Software and the DynaCAD Product as of the Closing Date (the “Inventory”) and all raw materials with respect thereto (including packaging, labels and similar supplies);
(d) all Books and Records that relate exclusively to, or are used exclusively in connection with, the Business or the Acquired Intellectual Property, including all of the materials identified on Schedule 1.1(d) (collectively, the “Acquired Books and Records”);
(e) all Approvals and Orders listed on Schedule 1.1(e), in each case to the extent their transfer is permitted by Law;
(f) all right, title and interest in, to and under all Contracts listed on Schedule 1.1(f) (collectively, the “Assigned Contracts”);
(g) all goodwill of the Business;
(h) all tangible personal property listed on Schedule 1.1(h) (the “Tangible Assets”); and
(i) all other assets, properties, rights and interests of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether tangible or intangible, wherever located, owned, used, held for use or developed for use by Seller or its Affiliates, that relate exclusively to, or are used exclusively in, the Business.
1.2 Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall assume from Seller the obligations of Seller under the Assigned Contracts as and to the extent transferred to Buyer under Section 1.1(f), but only to the extent such obligations (a) are to be performed after the Closing and (b) do not arise from or relate to any breach or default by Seller of any provision of any of such Assigned Contracts or any event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing on or prior to the Closing that, with notice or lapse of time, would constitute or result in a breach or default thereof (the “Assumed Liabilities”). Buyer is not assuming and shall not have any liability or obligation whatsoever for any other Liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates (or any predecessors of Seller or any of its Affiliates) whatsoever, all of which will be retained and satisfied when due by Seller or any of its Affiliates, as applicable (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”). The disclosure of any Liability on any schedule to this Agreement shall not create an Assumed Liability or other Liability of Buyer, except where such disclosed Liability has been expressly assumed by Buyer as an Assumed Liability pursuant to this Section 1.2.
2
1.3 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place on the later of (a) January 31, 2017 or (b) the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which all of the conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived (other than any such conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, which conditions shall be required to be so satisfied or waived on the Closing Date), unless another time and/or date is agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be held at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., One Financial Center, Boston, Massachusetts, unless another place is agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer (it being understood that the Closing may be effected by the delivery of documents via e-mail, facsimile and/or overnight courier).
1.4 Transfer Documents. At the Closing, in addition to the other deliverables contemplated by Article VI, the parties shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, the following documents (collectively, the “Transfer Documents”):
(a) Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver to each other a xxxx of sale and assignment and assumption agreement in a form mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller, pursuant to which Seller will assign and convey to Buyer the Acquired Assets and Buyer will assume from Seller the Assumed Liabilities;
(b) Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer a patent assignment in a form mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller, pursuant to which the Patents included in the Acquired Intellectual Property will be transferred and assigned to Buyer or an Affiliate thereof, as designated by Buyer;
(c) Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer a trademark assignment in a form mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller, pursuant to which the Trademarks included in the Acquired Intellectual Property will be transferred and assigned to Buyer or an Affiliate thereof, as designated by Buyer;

(e) Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver to one another the Transition Services Agreement between Seller and Buyer in substantially the form of Exhibit A (the “Transition Services Agreement”);
(f) Seller and Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer) shall execute and deliver to one another the Software Cross-License Agreement between Seller and Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer) in substantially the form of Exhibit B (the “Cross-License Agreement”) (for the avoidance of doubt, the Cross-License Agreement shall apply solely with respect to the Intellectual Property set forth therein and shall not apply to any Intellectual Property not explicitly licensed to Seller or Buyer thereunder); and
3
(g) Seller will execute and deliver all such other bills of sale, assignments, endorsements, Intellectual Property right assignments, trade name assignments, domain name assignments, certificates of title, consents and other good and sufficient instruments and documents of conveyance and transfer in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, as Buyer reasonably shall deem necessary or appropriate to vest in or confirm to Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer) full and complete right, title and interest in and to all of the Acquired Assets.
1.5 Consents of Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement to the contrary, neither this Agreement nor any such Related Agreement shall constitute an agreement to assign or otherwise transfer, or require Buyer to assume any obligations under, any Assigned Contract if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would, without the consent of a third party to such assignment or transfer, constitute a breach thereof, would be ineffective, would affect adversely the rights of Buyer thereunder or would violate any applicable Law. If any such consent has not been obtained as of the Closing Date and Buyer in its sole discretion nevertheless determines to proceed with the Closing, Buyer may waive the closing condition that such consent be delivered at the Closing, and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent following the Closing, and Buyer shall provide commercially reasonable cooperation to Seller in seeking to obtain any such consent. Seller shall pay and discharge any and all out-of-pocket costs or expenses of seeking to obtain or obtaining any such consent or approval whether before or after the Closing Date. If any Assigned Contract is not transferred to Buyer at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer all of the benefits of such Assigned Contract until such consent has been obtained. Nothing in this Section 1.5 shall be deemed to modify in any respect any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth herein or the conditions to Buyer’s obligations contained in Article VI, be deemed a waiver by Buyer of its right to have received on or before the Closing Date an effective assignment of all of the Acquired Assets or be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Acquired Assets any assets described under Section 1.1.
1.6 Shared Books and Records. In addition to the Acquired Books and Records, Buyer shall also be entitled to receive, and Seller shall provide to Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement, copies of all other Books and Records that relate to, or are used in connection with, the Business or the Acquired Intellectual Property, including the materials described on Schedule 1.6 (the “Shared Books and Records”). Further, from and after the Closing, Seller shall, upon reasonable advanced notice, provide Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the Shared Books and Records. Buyer and its Affiliates shall have the non-exclusive right to use the Shared Books and Records following the Closing.
1.7 Delivery of Acquired Assets.
(a) Any of the Acquired Assets (including the Acquired Books and Records, to the extent in electronic form) or Shared Books and Records that exist in electronic form will be delivered electronically to Buyer at or promptly following the Closing. Any Acquired Books and Records or Shared Books and Records that exist in electronic format will be transferred in their native, electronic format. Promptly following any electronic transmission, Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer a written certificate containing the following information: (i) the
4
date of transmission; (ii) the name of the individual who made the transmission; and (iii) a general description of the nature of the items transmitted sufficient to distinguish the transmission from other transmissions.
(b) Without limiting Buyer’s obligations pursuant to Section 1.7(a), Seller will deliver all other Acquired Assets (including the Acquired Books and Records, to the extent in paper format) and copies of all Shared Books and Records that exist in paper format to Buyer at or promptly following the Closing to such location or locations as specified by Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, in each case without limiting Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 1.7(a)).
1.8 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing, at the request of Buyer and without further consideration, Seller and its Affiliates shall execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, and shall take such further action, as may be reasonably requested in order to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to Buyer, and to confirm Buyer’s title in and to, the Acquired Assets, and each of the parties shall execute such other documents and take such further action as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Further, if at any time following the Closing, Seller shall receive any payment in respect of any Assigned Contract, Seller shall hold such payment in constructive trust for the benefit of Buyer and shall promptly remit such payment to Buyer without offset or deduction.
1.9 Optional Assets. To the extent that Seller or Buyer discovers, prior to the Closing Date or during the eighteen (18) month period following the Closing Date, any asset, property, right or Contract (other than any asset, property, right or Contract of a type described in Section 1.1(a)) used or held for use by Seller in connection with the Business, including the development, manufacture, license or sale of the Acquired Intellectual Property (other than the Excluded Intellectual Property), but that was not transferred or assigned to Buyer as an Acquired Asset (each an “Optional Asset”), then the discovering party shall provide written notice to the other party identifying such Optional Asset within ninety (90) days of discovery (an “Optional Asset Notice”). If Buyer desires to accept the transfer of such Optional Asset, then (a) Buyer shall give written notice thereof to Seller within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Optional Asset Notice relating to such Optional Asset and (b) promptly following receipt of such notice, Seller shall, without further consideration, and subject to the receipt of any applicable consents of third parties, sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Seller, free and clear from any Liens, all right, title and interest of Seller or any of its Affiliates in and to such Optional Asset. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate and promptly execute and deliver any instruments of transfer or assignment reasonably requested by Buyer to effect such transfer and assignment to Buyer. If Buyer fails to deliver to Seller notice of its intent to accept the transfer of such Optional Asset within such thirty (30)-day period, then such Optional Asset will be considered an Excluded Asset hereunder. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the giving of notice or the transfer of any Optional Asset under this Section 1.9 shall not in itself constitute a breach of Section 3.5 of this Agreement.
1.10 Retained Contracts. The parties acknowledge that Seller and/or its Subsidiaries are parties to Contracts that are not being assigned to Buyer hereunder at the Closing that contain
5
non-disclosure, non-solicitation, non-competition, assignment of inventions and/or similar provisions (each, a “Restrictive Provision”) in favor of, or that benefit, in whole or in part, the Business (collectively, the “Retained Business Contracts”). For a period of three (3) years after the Closing, (i) upon the request of Buyer, Seller shall provide copies of all Retained Business Contracts to Buyer and (ii) if Buyer or Seller discovers a breach of any Restrictive Provision by a Person subject to such Restrictive Provision (Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer of any such breach promptly after its discovery thereof), Seller shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, upon the written request of Buyer, assign to Buyer any rights under such Restrictive Provision without further consideration; provided, however, that any such assignment need not be exclusive unless failure of such assignment to be exclusive would impair Buyer’s rights under such Restrictive Provision following such assignment; and provided, further, if in the judgment of Buyer any such assignment would constitute a breach thereof or would be ineffective, would affect adversely the rights of Buyer under such Restrictive Provision or would violate or be unenforceable under any applicable Law, then Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any requisite consent to assignment if requested by Buyer and (B) if such consent is not obtained or if Buyer elects not to have such Restrictive Provision assigned for any of the reasons set forth in the foregoing proviso, take any and all commercially reasonable action necessary to enforce such Restrictive Provision on behalf of Buyer at the direction and cost of Buyer. If Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is required to enforce a Restrictive Provision in accordance with the foregoing clause (B), the parties shall work in good faith to establish reasonable processes governing the obligations of Seller and the cooperation between the parties with respect thereto.
ARTICLE II
PURCHASE PRICE
2.1 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) payable for the Acquired Assets shall be the sum of (a) the Closing Payment plus (b) the Initial Holdback Payment, if any, and the Final Holdback Payment, if any, payable in accordance with Section 2.3.
2.2 Closing Payment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller the Closing Payment in cash by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions delivered to Buyer in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing.
2.3 Holdback Payments. Within five (5) Business Days following the Initial Holdback Payment Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller the Initial Holdback Payment, if any. Within five (5) Business Days following date of the final determination (in accordance with Article VII) of all claims to which the Initial Holdback Reserve relates, Buyer shall deliver to Seller the Final Holdback Payment, if any.
2.4 Intentionally Omitted.
2.5 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets in the manner to be mutually agreed to by the parties prior to the Closing
6
(the “Allocation Methodology”). Buyer and Seller and their respective Affiliates shall file all tax returns (including IRS Form 8594) consistent with the Allocation Methodology (as reasonably adjusted to account for events occurring after the determination of the allocation of the Purchase Price), and none of Buyer, Seller or their respective Affiliates shall take any Tax position inconsistent with the Allocation Methodology unless required to do so by a change in applicable Laws or a good faith resolution of a Tax contest.

(d) Buyer is acquiring from Seller certain Trade Secrets and other confidential and proprietary information relating to, or used in connection with, the Acquired Assets, including confidential information included in the Acquired Intellectual Property and the Acquired Books and Records (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), and that Buyer expects Seller and its Affiliates to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. Accordingly, Seller covenants and agrees that, from and after the date hereof, it shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold the Confidential Information in the strictest confidence and shall not use or disclose to any Person, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever; provided, however, that Seller may disclose Confidential Information (i) as is required by Law or by legal, judicial or regulatory process; or (ii) that has become available to the public generally other than by acts by Seller, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement or any other obligation of confidentiality; provided that, prior to making any such disclosure in the case of the foregoing clause (i), it shall provide reasonable advance notice to Buyer and reasonable assistance to Buyer in attempting to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy concerning such disclosure. Seller agrees that it shall be responsible for any breach or violation of the provisions of this Section 5.7 by any of its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates’ Representatives. The parties agree that the Shared Books and Records shall be “Confidential Information” hereunder.
(e) Seller acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Section 5.7 are a material and substantial part of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and are entered into in connection with and as an inducement to the acquisition by Buyer of the Acquired Assets and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without which Buyer would be unwilling to enter into this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(f) Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) the provisions of this Section 5.7 are necessary and reasonable to protect the Confidential Information and the goodwill being acquired by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) the specific time, geography and scope of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the business interests of Buyer and its Affiliates as they relate to the Acquired Assets; and (iii) in the event of a breach of any agreement set forth in this Section 5.7, Buyer would suffer substantial irreparable harm and would not have an adequate remedy at law for such breach. In recognition of the
21
foregoing, Seller agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.7, in addition to such other remedies as Buyer may have at Law, without posting any bond or security or requirement for proof of actual damages, Buyer shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, in the form of specific performance, or temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, or any other equitable remedy which then may be available. The seeking of such injunction or Order shall not affect Buyer’s right to seek and obtain damages or other equitable relief on account of any such actual or threatened breach.
(g) If any provision of this Section 5.7 is held by a Court to be overly broad in duration, geographical coverage, substantive scope, or otherwise, that provision will be narrowed to the broadest term permitted by applicable Law and enforced as so narrowed, and such Court is hereby given express authority by the undersigned to modify the offending provisions hereof without the signature or prior consent of Seller or Buyer to the extent necessary to make them enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. Each provision of this Section 5.7 restricting the activities of Seller or Buyer in any way is intended to be separate from and enforceable separately from each such other provision

From the Closing Date until the fourth (4th) anniversary thereof, Seller and Buyer shall use their respective reasonable efforts to provide to the other party(ies) (the “requesting party”) such books, records and information and make available to the requesting party such personnel (such party(ies) providing such books, records or information or making available such personnel to the requesting party, the “providing party”), in each case as may be reasonably requested in writing by the requesting party and subject to customary confidentiality obligations, for the purpose of reasonably assisting the requesting party in responding to Governmental Authority or professional inquiries, making required Governmental Authority filings (including Tax filings) or defending or prosecuting any Action relating to or arising out of the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities prior to or after the Closing Date; provided that subject to the provisions of Article VII, the requesting party shall promptly reimburse the providing party for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the providing party in connection with the provision of any such assistance (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements), but the requesting party shall not be required to reimburse the providing party for such party’s time spent in such cooperation or the salaries or costs of fringe benefits or other similar expenses paid by the providing party to its Affiliates or related Persons or their respective Representatives while such Persons are providing any such assistance.

For the avoidance of doubt, Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that any license to the Customized Products (as defined in the Existing License Agreement) granted to a Customer (as defined in the Existing License Agreement) prior to the Closing Date shall survive the termination of the Existing License Agreement and continue in effect following the Closing. As of the date hereof, (i) Buyer has no knowledge of any violations or any actions that would give rise to any claim under the Surviving Existing License Agreement Provisions referred to in clauses (a), (b) (except as set forth on Schedule 5.11), (c) and (d) of this Section 5.11 (for purposes of the foregoing, “knowledge” means the actual knowledge of Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxxxxx) and (ii) Seller has no Knowledge of any violations or any actions that would give rise to any claim under any such Surviving Existing License Agreement Provision.

5.13 Recalls of Pre-Closing Products. If, at any time following the Closing, Buyer, in its reasonable discretion (including at the request or recommendation of a Governmental Authority), or any Governmental Authority initiates a recall of any Pre-Closing Product (each, a “Recall”), Buyer shall be responsible for the design, implementation and administration of such Recall. Seller shall notify Buyer promptly of any facts or circumstances that could result in a Recall. Buyer shall notify Seller promptly of any Recall and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer as Buyer may request with respect to any Recall, including supplying Buyer with such information as Buyer may request in connection therewith. Seller shall promptly reimburse Buyer, upon demand, for Losses incurred by Buyer in connection with any Recall that constitutes a “Class I recall” or “Class II recall” (each as defined under applicable Regulations of the FDA), including all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith (other than any Recall that results from (a) any combination by Buyer of any Pre-Closing Product with any other product or
23
service, (b) the adaptation or modification by Buyer of any Pre-Closing Product not authorized in writing by Seller, (c) the misuse of any Pre-Closing Product or the use of any Pre-Closing Product in an application for which it was not designed by Seller, or (d) Seller’s compliance with specifications and directions provided by Buyer to Seller), up to an aggregate amount of $200,000.

(b) Claims for indemnification hereunder resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (each, a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(iii) The party controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim may settle such Third Party Claim on any terms that it may deem reasonable, provided that, an Indemnifying Person shall not, without the Indemnified Person’s prior written consent, settle or compromise such proceeding, claim or demand, or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Person of a written release from all liability in respect of such proceeding, claim or demand.
7.5 Right of Set-off. Buyer may offset any amounts owed (or to become due and owing) by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, to Seller, on the other hand, pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Agreement against any amounts owed (or to become due and owing) by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Agreement and Seller may offset any amounts owed (or to become due and owing) by Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, to Buyer, on the other hand, pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Agreement against any amounts owed (or to become due and owing) by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Agreement following a formal determination that any such amounts are due and owing to either party.
7.6 Indemnification Limitations.
(a) Subject to Section 7.7, any Losses that shall become payable under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.3(a)(i) (other than such Losses arising out of, based upon, caused by, relating or with respect to, or by reason of any breach, alleged breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation) shall not exceed the Purchase Price (the “Ceiling”). The Ceiling shall not apply in the case of any Losses arising out of, based upon, caused by, relating or with respect to, or by reason of any breach, alleged breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation or any fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation.
(b) The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for indemnification for Losses arising under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.3(a)(i), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $15,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Person shall be responsible for all Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the foregoing Deductible shall not apply to any breach, alleged breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation or any fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation.
(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a Buyer Indemnified Person from making a claim for indemnification for Losses under both this Agreement and the
29
Surviving Existing License Agreement Provisions. Subject to the foregoing, any Losses in respect of which a Buyer Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under both this Agreement and any Surviving Existing License Agreement Provision shall be recoverable, at such Buyer Indemnified Person’s election, under this Agreement or the Existing License Agreement, provided that, (i) in no event may such Buyer Indemnified Person recover such Losses under both this Agreement and the Existing License Agreement and (ii) such Losses shall be subject to the limitation set forth in Section 7.6(a).
7.7 Fraud and Related Claims; Characterization of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way limit, impair, modify or otherwise affect the rights of an Indemnified Person to bring any claim, demand, suit or cause of action otherwise available to such Indemnified Person based upon, or to seek or recover any Losses arising from or related to, nor shall any of the limitations set forth in Section 7.1, an allegation or allegations of fraud, willful misconduct, willful or intentional misrepresentation or omission of a material fact in connection with this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The parties agree that any payment pursuant to an indemnification obligation under this Article VII shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by Law. If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any indemnification payment under this Article VII is determined to be taxable to an Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall also indemnify the Indemnified Person for any Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment and any Losses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such Taxes).
7.8 Knowledge and Investigation. The right of any Indemnified Person to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII will not be affected by any investigation conducted or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy of any representations or warranty, or performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement hereunder. The waiver of any condition contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement based on the breach of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right of any Indemnified Person to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII based on such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
7.9 Remedies Cumulative. The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Article VII are cumulative, and each Indemnified Person shall have the right in any particular circumstance, in its sole discretion, to enforce any provision of this Article VII without regard to the availability of a remedy under any provision of this Article VII.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
