The failure of the Tax Indemnitee to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim except to the extent the resulting delay results in a material detriment to the Tax Indemnitor with respect to the claim. On or after payment of any Taxes or other amounts by the Tax Indemnitee, the Tax Indemnitee shall submit an invoice to the Tax Indemnitor stating that such Taxes or such other amounts have been paid and giving in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, the Tax Indemnitor shall remit payment for such Taxes or other amounts to the Tax Indemnitee, provided, however, that the Tax Indemnitor shall not be required to make any payment earlier than three (3) days before it is due to the appropriate taxing authority. In the case of a Tax that is contested, payment of the Tax to the appropriate tax authority will not be considered to be due earlier than the date a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code) to such effect is made by the appropriate taxing authority or court. Any payment required under this Section 4.2 that is not made when due shall bear interest (beginning on the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of the written notice) at the rate per annum determined, from time to time, under the provisions of Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) Tax Indemnitee shall keep Tax Indemnitor informed in all material respects of the status of any claim, suit, action or proceeding and shall consult in good faith with Tax Indemnitor concerning such matter, and (ii) Tax Indemnitee shall not concede, fail to contest, or settle such matter without the prior written consent of Tax Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(e) Sales, Use and Value-added Taxes. The Parties believe, based on their independent analysis, that the transfer of the Seller Membership Interests pursuant to this Agreement does not result in the imposition of any sales, use, value-added and similar Taxes and shall act in a manner consistent with such belief. If, contrary to the judgment of the Parties, any sales, use, value-added or similar Taxes are imposed by any taxing authority, tax or revenue service, or tax tribunal, the Party upon which such Taxes are legally imposed shall pay such Taxes and any related interest, penalty, etc. to the applicable taxing authority and the other Party shall promptly pay to, indemnify and hold the paying Party harmless from and against fifty percent (50%) of such Taxes and any related interest, penalty, etc.; provided, however, that such Taxes are not recovered by the other Party.
4.3 Adjustment to Purchase Price. For Tax purposes, any payment by Purchaser or Seller under Article VIII will be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price.
4.4 Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably (a) assist (and cause their respective Affiliates to assist) the other Party in preparing any Tax Returns or reports which such other Party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with this Article IV, (b) cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or
-12-
disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of the Company, (c) make available (and cause their respective Affiliates to make available) to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of the Company, (d) provide timely notice to the other in writing of any Tax audits or assessments of the Company for taxable periods for which the other may have a liability under this Article IV, and (e) furnish the other with copies of all material correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any such taxable period.
4.5 Refunds. Any refunds or credits attributable to a Pre-Closing Period shall be for the account of Seller and Purchaser, and if the entire refund or credit is received by Purchaser or the Company, then Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, shall promptly pay to Seller a portion of such refund or credit based on Seller’s allocable share (as determined under the Operating Agreement) of the Company’s income or gain for the relevant tax period to which the refund or credit relates.

It being understood and agreed that (i) pursuit of insurance claims with respect to Third-Party Claims shall not impair or delay a Party’s rights to pursue indemnity claims and collect hereunder and (ii) in the event an indemnity claim is paid to an Indemnified Party hereunder and the Indemnified Party later receives insurance proceeds with respect to such claim, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over such proceeds as appropriate to the applicable Indemnifying Party.

11.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware.
11.8 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference is to an Article or 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. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party will not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are used in this Agreement, they are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” For all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms defined include the plural as well as the singular, and the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision.
11.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Amended License Agreement, together with the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto and thereto, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement and the Amended License Agreement supersede all prior agreements among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Parties agree that execution of this Agreement constitutes affirmative consent by both a Supermajority in Interest and a Majority in Interest with respect to the Members and the Board (all as defined in the Operating Agreement) under the Operating Agreement and waiver of any conflicts under the Operating Agreement for all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby.
11.10 Expenses.

11.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for Article VIII, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, other than the Parties or their respective successors, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

-28-
Representatives (as defined in the NDA) in connection with this Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, and that the terms of the NDA are incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, that (a) the term “Purpose” as used in connection with this Agreement shall mean the fulfillment by any Party of its obligations, or the exercise by such Party of its rights, under this Agreement, (b) this Agreement may be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission if so required pursuant to applicable law, and (c) the obligations of confidentiality of each Party with respect to any Information disclosed by any other Party or its Representatives shall survive termination (if any) of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions contained in Section 7.0 of the NDA shall not apply following the execution of this Agreement and the Standstill Period (as defined in the NDA) shall expire in accordance with its terms. The Parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to all public communications, including regulatory filings, concerning the disclosure of another party’s Information, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
11.13 Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief.
(a) The Parties acknowledge that there may be no adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of the covenants or agreements set forth herein. Therefore, it is agreed that, subject to Section 11.13(b), in addition to the remedies set forth in Section 8.5, and without being required to go through the procedures set forth in Section 11.1 prior to making a claim for specific performance or equitable relief, each Party shall have the right to seek to enforce such covenants and agreements by specific performance, injunctive relief or by any other means available to such Party at law or in equity.
(b) Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that any breach of their obligations under Section 6.1 of this Agreement may result in irreparable harm to Seller that cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages, and that Seller will be entitled to seek injunctive and/or equitable relief to prevent such a breach and to secure enforcement thereof. Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that, in the event Seller seeks injunctive and/or equitable relief alleging a breach of Section 6.1 by Purchaser or the Company, neither Purchaser nor the Company shall claim that its alleged actions do not constitute irreparable harm. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser and the Company may in their defense assert (i) that Seller fails to prove a likelihood of success on the merits; and (ii) except as precluded by the previous sentence, any other claim, counterclaim or defense. Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that Seller shall not be required to post a bond in connection with Seller seeking injunctive and/or equitable relief based on any alleged breach of Section 6.1 by Purchaser or the Company. Purchaser, the Company and Seller acknowledge and agree that, in the event that Seller prevails in its claim for injunctive and/or equitable relief based on a breach of Section 6.1 by Purchaser or the Company, Seller’s injunctive and equitable remedy shall be the right to (A) immediately stop Purchaser and the Company from distributing a Competitive Product that violates Section 6.1 and (B) require Purchaser and Company to recall from its distributors, resellers and customers (other than end-users, either individuals or enterprise customers) a Competitive Product that violates Section 6.1.
-29-
(c) Any claim pursuant to this Section 11.1 will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Santa Xxxxx County, California, and each Party hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction thereof and agrees to service of process by such courts with respect to such claims.
