Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall continue to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement that reasonably require some action or forbearance (or are required to implement such action or forbearance) after such expiration or termination, including, but not limited to, those related to fees and expenses, indemnities, confidentiality obligations, exclusions to and limitations of NCPS’s liability and warranties and such provisions shall survive.

12. Confidential Information.

12.1. While performing under this Agreement, each Party will be exposed to information about each other Party (“Disclosing Party”) or its affiliates or their business, which information is not known publicly (“Confidential Information”, as defined more specifically below). The Party being exposed to the information (including those to whom such Party discloses such information on a need-to-know basis in connection with a Party’s rights or obligations hereunder, “Recipient”) shall not disclose or use Confidential Information for any reason other than to further the specific activities permitted by this Agreement, in connection with the activities on the PPEX ATS, NCPS’s provision of the Services or as required by Law.

12.2. As used herein, “Confidential Information” refers to matters relating to the Disclosing Party’s or its affiliates’ operations, performance, internal procedures, operations and finances, including, but not limited, to current, future and proposed products and product prototypes and samples, methodologies, technology, manufacturing techniques, trade secrets, financial and customer information, information from, by or about entities seeking to become, or have become, issuers, accredited investor information and documentation, procurement requirements, sales, merchandising and marketing plans, whether tangible or intangible, printed or electronic, disclosed directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible objects, and all notes and derivative works based on or reflecting any such information or materials. “Confidential Information” also includes confidential or proprietary information of third parties that the Disclosing Party may disclose to the other Party.

12.3. “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that: (a) is at the time of disclosure, or subsequently becomes, publicly known otherwise than by an act or omission of the Recipient in breach of this Agreement or of any other party in breach of any other obligation of confidentiality owing to Disclosing Party; (b) is already in the Recipient’s possession without any obligation of confidentiality at the time of disclosure, as shown by the Recipient’s written records in existence before the date of disclosure; or (c) is independently developed by the Recipient without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as shown by the Recipient’s written records in existence before the date of disclosure.

12.4. Recipient shall be responsible to Disclosing Party for any acts or omissions of those to whom it discloses Confidential Information that would have breached this Agreement as if such act or omission had been by Recipient. Nothing in this Section 12 shall prevent NCPS from using, retaining and disclosing, and it shall not be required to give notice or assist in obtaining a court order with respect to any Confidential Information it deems necessary to retain or disclose to any governmental, judicial or regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization or in connection with legal, financial or regulatory filings, audits or examinations or pursuant to any other legal process.

12.5. If the Parties previously entered into a non-disclosure agreement, which remains in effect as of the Effective Date (“NDA”), then in the event of a conflict between such NDA and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail. Nothing in this Section 12 shall limit NCPS’s ability to use, disclose and retain Content as provided in Section 6.

12.6. No Party shall issue or release any announcement, statement, press release or other publicity or marketing materials relating to this Agreement or otherwise use each other Party’s trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, domain names or other indicia of source, affiliation or sponsorship, in each case, without the prior written consent of Company and NCPS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that NCPS may, without Company’s consent, include Company and its affiliates’ names and logos in NCPS’s promotional and marketing materials.

12.7. Company and NCPS agree to promptly notify the other concerning any material communications from or with any governmental, regulatory, judicial or law enforcement authority or self-regulatory organization with respect to this Agreement or the performance of its obligations hereunder, unless such notification is prohibited by the applicable governmental, regulatory, judicial or law enforcement authority or self-regulatory organization.

13. Indemnification. Company shall and shall cause its affiliates, jointly and severally, at their own cost and expense, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless NCPS, its affiliates and their licensors and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents, representatives, contractors, consultants, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns (collectively, “NCPS Parties”), from and against (and the NCPS Parties shall not be liable for) any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, causes, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, indemnities, costs or expenses of whatever kind, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, the costs of enforcing any right hereunder, the costs of pursuing any insurance providers, the costs of collection and the costs of defending against or appearing as a witness (“Losses”) in connection with all actions (including issuer and equity owner actions), disputes, claims, counterclaims, inquiries, indemnification, proceedings, investigations and legal process regardless of the source (collectively, “Actions”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Company’s primary issuance of Company Securities or Company’s or its Authorized Contributors’ activities relating to the PPEX ATS or Trades prior to the Effective Date, and NCPS Parties shall not be liable therefor; provided that Company’s obligations do not apply to Losses resulting from NCPS’s fraud as determined by final non-appealable order of a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction under Section 15.

14. Amendment; Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including the addition of a Series as provided above by joinder, no amendment to or modification of this Agreement by a Party will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the other Party. No waiver by either Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

15. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution.

15.1. The provisions of governing law and jurisdiction in the Terms of Use are superseded by this Section 15. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of law, conflict of laws or “borrowing”, statutes, rules, principles and precedent; provided that the governing law for causes of action for violations of U.S. federal or state securities Law shall be governed by applicable U.S. federal or state securities Law. Both Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, New York.

15.2. Notwithstanding Section 15.1, the Parties agree that in the event an Action arises between NCPS and Company in connection with or as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, such Actions shall be resolved through confidential arbitration by a panel of three independent arbitrators (each party to choose one arbitrator and the two so chosen to choose the third arbitrator), and the Parties agree to submit such Actions for resolution in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (unless otherwise required by FINRA rules to be conducted by FINRA and FINRA does not decline jurisdiction) in New York, New York within five days after receiving a written request from the other Party to do so. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the result of the arbitration proceeding shall be final and binding, and by agreeing to arbitration, each Party hereby waives its right to seek remedies in court.

15.3. Notwithstanding the above agreement to arbitrate, each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by a Party of any of its obligations in connection with this Agreement may cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies and any other remedies set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive and are cumulative in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise. In addition, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, enforce or enter judgment on the award entered in any arbitration proceeding under this Section 15.

15.4. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COLLECTIVE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE NCPS PARTIES UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE PPEX ATS ACTIVITIES OR ITS OTHER SUBJECT MATTER, TO COMPANY, ANY OTHER PARTY OR THIRD PARTY, UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY, BREACH OF WARRANTY, RESTITUTION OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER BROUGHT DIRECTLY OR AS A THIRD PARTY CLAIM, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY COMPANY TO AND RECEIVED BY NCPS DURING THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE ACCRUAL OF THE ACTION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION COMPANY MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PPEX ATS ACTIVITIES OR ITS OTHER SUBJECT MATTER MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. None of the NCPS Parties shall be liable to Company or to anyone else for any special, exemplary, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages of any kind or for any costs of procurement of substitution of services or any lost profits, lost business, trading losses, loss of use of data or interruption of business or services arising out of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any breach of this Agreement or any services performed, regardless of the basis for liability.

15.5. Subject to Section 15.4, in any Action by which one Party either seeks to enforce this Agreement or seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations under this Agreement, the non-prevailing Party will pay the prevailing Party’s costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

15.6. At NCPS’s or its affiliate’s determination, a breach under this Agreement by Company will constitute a default by Company or its affiliates under all other agreements any of them have then in effect with NCPS or its affiliates and vice versa, including, without limitation, the SSLA.

15.7. In connection with this Section 15, Company agrees, as follows:

(a) the Parties are giving up the right to sue each other in court, including the right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the rules of the arbitration forum in which an Action is filed pursuant to this Section 15; (b) arbitration awards are generally final and binding such that a Party’s ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is extremely limited; (c) the ability of the Parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court proceedings; (d) the arbitrators do not have to explain the reasons for their award, unless in an eligible case a joint request for an explained decision has been submitted by all parties to the panel at least 20 days prior to the first scheduled hearing date; (e) the panel of arbitrators may include a minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry; (f) the rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing an Action in arbitration and in some cases an Action that is ineligible for arbitration may be brought in court; and (g) the rules of the arbitration forum in which the Action is filed, and any amendments thereto, shall be incorporated into this Agreement. NCPS shall provide Company with a copy of this pre-dispute arbitration clause or this Agreement or inform Company that NCPS does not have a copy thereof, within 10 business days of receipt of Company’s written request. Upon written request of Company, NCPS shall provide Company with the names of, and information on how to contact or obtain the rules of, all arbitration forums in which an Action may be filed under this Agreement.

15.8. To the full extent permitted by Law, no arbitration or other proceeding shall be joined with any other or decided on a class-action basis. No person or entity shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute arbitration agreement against any person or entity who has initiated in court a putative class action; or who is a Company of a putative class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until: (a) the class certification is denied; (b) the class is decertified; or (c) Company is excluded from the class by the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this Agreement, except to the extent stated herein.

16. Notices; Consent to Electronic Communications. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications in connection with this Agreement (“notices”) have binding legal effect only if in writing and addressed to a Party as set forth on the signature page hereto (or to such other address that such Party may designate from time to time in accordance with this Section 16). Notices sent in accordance with this Section 16 will be deemed effectively given: (a) when received, if delivered by hand, with signed confirmation of receipt; (b) when received, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier, signature required; or (c) on the third day after the date mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. In addition, Company consents to the receipt of records and notices electronically by email in all dealings with NCPS.

17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
