(r) Ownership of Assets.

(i) The Group Companies have good and marketable title to, or in the case of leased property and assets, have valid leasehold interests in, all property and assets (whether real, personal, tangible or intangible) reflected on the Company’s consolidated unaudited balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 or acquired thereafter, except for properties and assets sold since such date in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and except where the failure to have such good and marketable title or valid leasehold interests would not materially and adversely affect the business of the Group Companies as it is currently conducted. None of such property or assets is subject to any Lien, except for Liens: (i) disclosed in the Company SEC Documents or (ii) which would not materially and adversely affect the business of the Group Companies as it is currently conducted.

(ii) The property and assets owned or leased by the Group Companies, or that they otherwise have the right to use, constitute all of the property and assets used or held for use in connection with the businesses of the Group Companies and are adequate to conduct such businesses in substantially the same manner as currently conducted.

(s) Intellectual Properties. All Company Intellectual Property is either (a) owned by the Group Companies or (b) is used by the Group Companies pursuant to a valid license. The Company Intellectual Property collectively represents in all material respects Intellectual Property necessary and sufficient for the operation of the business of the Group Companies as currently conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted. All employees of a Group Company who are or were involved in the creation of any Intellectual Property for such Group Company have executed an employment agreement which include assignment of inventions provisions that vests in the Group Company exclusive ownership of all right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property, to the extent not already provided by Law. To the knowledge of the Company, there are no material infringements or other material violations of any Intellectual Property owned by the Group Companies by any third party. The Group Companies have taken all necessary actions to maintain and protect each item of Company Intellectual Property. The conduct of the business of the Group Companies does not infringe or otherwise violate any intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any other person in any material respects and there is no action or proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of the Company threatened alleging any such infringement or violation or challenging the Group Companies’ rights in or to any Intellectual Property, except for any actions or proceedings that, if ruled against the Group Companies, would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the business of the Group Companies as it is currently conducted.

(ii) There has not been, and there is not now pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, any strike, union organization activity, slowdown or work stoppage against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries.

No Group Company has received notice regarding unpaid foreign, federal and state income in any amount or any Taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the Company is not aware of any reasonable basis for such claim. No Returns filed or made by or on behalf of any Group Company with respect to material Taxes are currently being audited or otherwise challenged, and no Group Company has received notice of any such audit or challenge.

(ii) Each Group Company is in compliance in all material respects with all terms, conditions and formalities necessary for the continuance of any Tax exemption, Tax holiday, Tax credit, Tax incentive, Tax refund or other Tax reduction agreement or order available under any applicable Law.

(w) Transactions with Affiliates. All related party transactions required to be disclosed under applicable rules of Nasdaq or the applicable securities Laws have been accurately described in the Company SEC Documents as of the date hereof in all material respects. Any such related party transaction was entered into on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Group Companies than those applicable in comparable transactions between independent parties acting at arm’s length.

Section 5.03. Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a) Any Person seeking indemnification under Section 5.02 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give the Party from whom indemnification is being sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement stating in reasonable detail the factual basis of the claim to the extent known by the Indemnified Party, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided that the failure to provide the Indemnity Notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 5 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any recovery or indemnification sought by an Indemnified Party from the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has disputed a claim for indemnification (including any Third Party Claim), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot resolve such dispute in thirty (30) days after delivery of the dispute notice by the Indemnifying Party, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 6.12.

(b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive written notice (the “Claim Notice”) of any claim or demand asserted by a third party (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against it or which may give rise to a claim for Loss under this Article 5, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 5 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided that that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

Section 5.04. Limitation to Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, absent fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach:

(a) In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification for any Losses arising from a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i) (other than Company Fundamental Warranties) or Section 5.02(b)(i) (other than Purchaser Fundamental Warranties) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party thereunder exceeds three percent (3%) of (x) if the Second Closing has occurred, the Aggregate Purchase Price, or (y) or if the Second Closing fails to occur, the First Tranche Purchase Price (the “Deductible”), in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable only for Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(b) The maximum aggregate liabilities of the Indemnifying Party in respect of Losses suffered by the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i) (other than Company Fundamental Warranties) or Section 5.02(b)(i) (other than Purchaser Fundamental Warranties) shall not in any event be greater than (x) if the Second Closing has occurred, the Aggregate Purchase Price, or (y) if the Second Closing fails to occur, the First Tranche Purchase Price.

(c) The maximum aggregate liabilities of the Indemnifying Party in respect of Losses suffered by the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii) or Section 5.02(b)(ii) shall not in any event be greater than the First Tranche Purchase Price.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, from and after the First Closing, the right to indemnity pursuant to Article 5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any of the Indemnified Party for any claims against the Indemnifying Party arising out of or resulting from this Agreement; provided that the Indemnified Party shall also be entitled to specific performance or other equitable remedies in any court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 6.13 hereof.

(e) From and after the occurrence of the Second Closing pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or pursuant to Section 2.04(a) following irrevocable waiver by the Purchaser of any of the conditions set forth in Section 2.06(c)(v), Section 2.06(c)(vi) and Section 2.06(c)(vii), no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses arising from any breach of this Agreement that has resulted in any of the conditions set forth in Section 2.06(c)(v), Section 2.06(c)(vi) and Section 2.06(c)(vii) not having been satisfied as of the Second Closing.
