If such consent, approval or waiver is not obtained, or such notice is not made on or before the Closing Date, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of any Seller Party or any of its or their Affiliates thereunder so that the Buyer would not in fact receive all such rights, or if such asset is not transferable under applicable Requirements of Law with or without such consent, approval, waiver or notice (any assets so described, the “Non-assignable Assets”), Seller shall, or shall cause the applicable Seller Parties to, use commercially reasonable efforts (but without any obligation to expend a material amount of money, commence litigation or offer or grant any material financial or other accommodation to any third party), and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller, to (i) obtain such required consent, approval, waiver or notice as soon as practical following the Closing Date, (ii) provide to Buyer the benefits of the applicable Non-assignable Assets to the extent such provision would not violate any third party right; provided that Buyer shall fulfill the corresponding obligations to the extent the Buyer would have been responsible therefor if such consent, approval, waiver or notice had been obtained and such Non-assignable Assets assigned to Buyer, (iii) cooperate in any reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer and (iv) enforce at the request of Buyer and for the account of Buyer any rights of the Seller Parties arising from any such Non-assignable Assets (including the right to elect to terminate any Seller Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof upon the request of Buyer). In connection with any such arrangement, Buyer shall reimburse the applicable Seller Party and each of their applicable Affiliates for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by the applicable Seller Party and each of their applicable Affiliates in connection with the performance of any such Non-assignable Assets, but only to the extent that such out-of-pocket costs and expenses would have been otherwise incurred by Buyer or its Affiliates had such Non-assignable Asset been assigned, transferred or conveyed as contemplated by this Agreement, including any liability arising out of Buyer’s failure to perform thereunder (such costs and expenses, the “Alternative Arrangement Costs”). Seller shall, or shall cause the applicable Seller Party to, promptly pay to Buyer when received all monies received (other than Taxes that are the obligation of the applicable Seller Party to remit to the relevant Governmental Body), after offsetting applicable Alternative Arrangement Costs incurred but not yet reimbursed by Buyer or its Affiliates, by such Seller Party under such Non-assignable Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder.

3.7. Allocation of Purchase Price. Within 60 days following the determination of the Valuation Date Working Capital pursuant to Section 3.3, Buyer shall provide to Seller a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the final Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets. The Allocation Schedule shall be reasonable and shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. If Seller does not provide notice of disagreement to Buyer within 30 days of receiving the Allocation Schedule, the Allocation Schedule shall be binding as the final Allocation Schedule (the Allocation Schedule, as finalized pursuant to this Section 3.7, the “Final Allocation Schedule”). If Seller provides notice of disagreement to Buyer within such 30-day period, Seller and Buyer shall discuss in good faith Seller’s disagreement and, if Seller and Buyer resolve such disagreement within 30 days (or longer prior as agreed between the parties) of Seller receiving the Allocation Schedule, the Allocation Schedule shall be revised to reflect such resolution and as so revised shall be the Final Allocation Schedule. The parties agree (and agree to cause each of their respective Affiliates) to utilize the allocation set forth in any Final Allocation Schedule for all Tax purposes, including the filing of all Tax Returns and in the course of all Tax-related proceedings, unless otherwise required by applicable Requirements of Law pursuant to a final determination in connection therewith.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
8.1. Covenant Not to Compete or Solicit Business.
(a) In furtherance of the sale of the Purchased Assets and the Business to Buyer hereunder by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby and more effectively to protect the value and goodwill of the Purchased Assets and the Business so sold, Seller covenants and agrees that, for a period ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries will:

Buyer shall be liable for and shall pay all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) relating to or arising out of the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets or Business after the Closing Date, provided that Buyer shall not be liable for any Taxes for which Seller is liable under this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 8.3, in the case of (x) any Taxes that are imposed in part on the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets or Business on or prior to the Closing Date, and in part on the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets or Business after the Closing Date or (y) any Taxes imposed with respect to any Straddle Period of an Acquired Subsidiary, such Taxes shall be allocated between the period ending on and including the Closing Date, and the period beginning after the Closing Date on a “closing of the books” basis, except that exemptions, allowances, deductions or Taxes that are calculated on a period basis (such as property Taxes and depreciation or amortization deductions) shall be allocated on a daily basis. Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes imposed on Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer with respect to Subpart F or other income of an
45
Acquired Subsidiary with respect to the portion of a Straddle Period of an Acquired Subsidiary ending on and including the Closing Date, the determination of liability for any such Taxes shall be made by assuming that the Straddle Period of the Acquired Subsidiary consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other of which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date and relevant items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of the Acquired Subsidiary shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books” basis by assuming that the books of the Acquired Subsidiary were closed at the close of the Closing Date, except that exemptions, allowances, or deductions that are calculated on a period basis (such as depreciation or amortization deductions) shall be allocated on a daily basis.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.3(a), any sales Tax, use Tax, real property transfer or gains Tax, documentary stamp Tax or similar Tax attributable to the sale or transfer of the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities shall be paid equally by Seller and Buyer, except that any stamp duty imposed on the transfer of the Acquired Subsidiaries shall be paid by Seller. Buyer and Seller each agree to timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns with respect to, such Taxes.
(c) Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall provide reimbursement for any Tax paid by one party all or a portion of which is the responsibility of the other party in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.3. Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of any said Tax, the party paying such Tax shall give notice to the other party of the Tax payable and the portion which is the liability of each party, although failure to do so will not relieve the other party from its liability hereunder.
(d) After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Buyer shall (and cause their respective Affiliates to):
(i) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing;
(ii) cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Acquired Subsidiaries;
(iii) make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records and documents relating to Taxes of Business, the Purchased Assets or the Acquired Subsidiaries;
(iv) provide timely notice to the other in writing of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to Taxes of the Business or the Purchased Assets, including the Acquired Subsidiaries, for which the other may have a liability under this Section 8.3; and
(v) furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any such taxable period.
46
(e) Seller and Buyer agree that no proceeds shall be received or receivable by Seller as consideration in respect of the non-compete covenants contained in this Agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 8.3 shall be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time.
8.4. Employees and Employee Benefit Plans.
(a) Buyer shall (i) with respect to employees employed by the Acquired Subsidiaries, continue the employment of the individuals listed as “continuing employees” on Schedule 8.4(A) as of immediately following the Closing (the “Continuing Employees”), and (ii) with respect to employees employed by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Subsidiaries), offer, or cause Buyer’s Affiliates to offer, employment as of the Closing Date to each other Business Employee listed on Schedule 8.4(A), but only if such Business Employee is actively employed (including employees on vacation, holiday, jury duty or other similar absence) immediately prior to the Closing Date. Buyer also shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, offer employment to each Business Employee who is not actively employed immediately prior to the Closing Date and who is able to return to active employment within three months after the Closing Date, or such longer period during which the Business Employee has a right of re-instatement in accordance with applicable Requirements of Laws (collectively, “Inactive Business Employees”), in each case promptly upon his or her return from any leave or other absence. The Continuing Employees and the other Business Employees who accept an employment offer from Buyer or any of its Affiliates and commence employment as of the Closing Date are referred to collectively herein as the “Transferred Employees”, and any Inactive Business Employee shall be treated as a Transferred Employee upon his or her return to, or commencement of, active employment with Buyer or its Affiliates.
(b) Buyer will, immediately following the Closing Date, provide each Transferred Employee with (i) at least the same base salary or base wage rate (as applicable) and bonus opportunity, in the aggregate, as Seller currently offers, and (ii) employee benefits (with credit for their prior service with Seller) which are in the aggregate substantially comparable in the aggregate to those made available either to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing or to similarly situated employees of Buyer.
(c) Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer will recognize each Transferred Employee’s prior service with the Seller for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and determination of level of vacation, other paid time off or severance benefits and as may otherwise be required by applicable statute for Transferred Employees who are Canadian Business Employees (but not for other purposes, including benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan, or to the extent that such recognition would result in duplication of benefits).
(d) As of the Closing Date, Seller shall cause each Transferred Employee to be fully vested in his or her account under any 401(k) or similar U.S. retirement plan maintained by Seller or its Affiliates.
47
(e) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to transition and rollover all vacation or paid time off that is accrued but unused as of the Closing Date for each Transferred Employee to the extent consistent with applicable Requirements of Laws, including if required by obtaining a consent from such Transferred Employee, and Buyer shall, or shall cause the Acquired Subsidiary to, acknowledge, assume and continue all such transitioned and rolled over accrued vacation or paid time off. As soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date, to the extent required by the applicable Requirements of Laws and to the extent such vacation or paid time off is not otherwise transitioned or rolled over, Seller shall pay to each Transferred Employee all of such Transferred Employee’s vacation or paid time that is accrued but unused as of the Closing Date.
(f) Seller shall be solely responsible for offering continuation coverage to Transferred Employees, to the extent required, pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended.
(g) Following the Closing, Seller will retain (i) all liabilities and obligations under each Seller Plan other than the Assumed Benefit Plans, and any other employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or contributed to by Seller or its Affiliates, (ii) all other liabilities and obligations including any severance payments whether pursuant to Requirements of Law or contract, salary, wages, bonuses, commissions, vacation with pay, or sick day obligations, in each case, with respect to any current or former employee or service provider who is not, or does not become, a Transferred Employee, and (iii) all liabilities and obligations with respect to any Transferred Employee relating to the period prior to Closing including but not limited to any amounts or benefits payable to the Transferred Employee in respect of employment prior to Closing.
(h) Nothing in this Section 8.4 shall (i) be construed as requiring the continued employment or engagement of any Transferred Employee or other service provider after the Closing Date, (ii) be construed as requiring Buyer to retain any current employee of Seller or its Affiliates other than the Transferred Employees or (iii) create any third-party rights under this Agreement for any Transferred Employee or any other current or former employee of the Business.
8.5. SEC Financial Statements.
(a) Seller shall obtain and deliver to Buyer by the date that is 70 days after the Closing, (i) audited financial statements for the Business for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Audited Financial Statements”), and (ii) unaudited year-to-date financial statements for the most recently completed quarterly period prior to Closing (the “Unaudited Financial Statements” and, together with the Audited Financial Statements, the “Rule 3-05 Financial Statements”). Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer regarding other financial information relating to the Business that may be required in connection with any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Buyer after the Closing.
48
(b) The Rule 3-05 Financial Statements will be (i) prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Business, (ii) prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X and United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), (iii) prepared as either (x) carve-out financial statements or (y) abbreviated financial statements to the extent Buyer requests and receives pre-clearance from the SEC to use such abbreviated financial statements in any reports and registration statements of Buyer and (iv) in the case of the Audited Financial Statements, accompanied by an opinion (the “Audit Opinion”) of Ernst & Young LLP (the “Independent Auditor”), which opinion complies with Regulation S-X. Seller agrees to provide Buyer with an opportunity to review and comment on drafts of the Rule 3-05 Financial Statements, the form and substance of which shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and with reasonable access to the books, records and personnel of the Business and Seller and all documents, schedules and work papers that are reasonably necessary for purposes of such review.
(c) To the extent Buyer is required to file the Rule 3-05 Financial Statements with the SEC under applicable Requirements of Law, then (i) Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to request pre-clearance from the SEC to file the Rule 3-05 Financial Statements in the form of abbreviated financial statements rather than carve-out financial statements and (ii) Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to provide to Buyer no later than five business days prior to the required filing date of the Rule 3-05 Financial Statements the consents necessary to permit the inclusion of the Audit Opinion with respect to the Audited Financial Statements in any reports and registration statements of Buyer.
(d) Whether or not Buyer is ultimately required to file the Rule 3-05 Financial Statements with the SEC under applicable Requirements of Law, Buyer shall reimburse Seller within 30 days of receipt of detailed invoices for all reasonable internal and out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the preparation of the Rule 3-05 Financial Statements and the Audit Opinion, including any such costs, fees and expenses paid or payable to third party consultants (in each case, without markup and on a pass-through basis); provided, however, that Buyer shall have no obligation to reimburse Seller hereunder if the Rule 3-05 Financial Statements are not delivered to Buyer on or before the date that is 70 days after the Closing.
8.6. Obligations Regarding Deferred Revenue.
(a) From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall or shall cause its Affiliates to promptly perform all obligations in respect of any arrangements that (1) have given rise to deferred revenue attributable to the Business as of the Closing Date and (2) are identified on Schedule 8.6(A) (as updated prior to the Closing in accordance with Section 8.6(c)); provided, however, that if requested by Seller, Buyer shall contract with Seller to satisfy such obligations on Seller’s behalf (and the terms of any such agreement shall include (a) a service fee in an amount equal to the sum of (i) all internal and reasonably detailed costs of Buyer directly allocable to the provision of such services, plus (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the provision of such service, plus (iii) an additional 25% margin on clauses (i) and (ii), (b) customary quarterly invoicing with 45 day payment terms and (c) such other terms as may be agreed between Buyer and Seller, which, to the extent applicable shall be substantially similar to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transition Services Agreement and otherwise as reasonably determined between Buyer and Seller in good faith). Schedule 8.6(A) lists the outstanding implementation and software development projects that are classified as deferred revenue liabilities in accordance with the Agreed
49
Accounting Principles by Seller as of June 30, 2017, including a reasonably detailed description of each project and the Seller’s good faith estimate of the time to complete such projects. Without the prior written consent of Seller, Seller shall not be responsible for the fulfillment of any deferred revenue liabilities in respect of arrangements that are entered into on or after the Closing Date by Buyer or in respect of the incremental portion of any amendments to arrangements existing as of the Closing agreed to by Buyer.
(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer does not expect to incur, on an aggregate basis, a loss fulfilling the unbilled portion of the implementation and software development services (excluding maintenance and SaaS services) of any contracts with customers of the Business in effect as of the Closing Date and as listed on Schedule 8.6(B) (as updated prior to the Closing in accordance with Section 8.6(c)). To the extent that Buyer’s aggregate costs to fulfill such obligations under all such contracts exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate billable amounts attributable to the component of such contracts for such services plus (ii) the aggregate amounts payable by Seller to Buyer for such fulfillment, Seller shall pay to Buyer fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such excess without any additional markup. Buyer and Seller agree to discuss in good faith the basis and manner of calculating the amount of any such aggregate loss and Buyer agrees to make available to Seller any and all records relating to the costs of fulfilling such obligations in connection therewith.
(c) On or prior to the third business day prior to the Closing (but no earlier than five business days prior to the Closing), Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer in good faith updated versions of Schedule 8.6(A) and Schedule 8.6(B) reflecting outstanding implementation and software development projects as of such date, which Buyer shall review in good faith. Upon Buyer’s and Seller’s reasonable agreement upon the updated Schedule 8.6(A) and Schedule 8.6(B), such updated versions shall be deemed the final versions of Schedule 8.6(A) and Schedule 8.6(B) for the purposes of this Section 8.6.
8.7. Acquired Subsidiary Wind Down Costs. From and after the Closing, Buyer may wind-down, liquidate and dissolve the Acquired Subsidiaries (any such winding-down, liquidation or dissolution (or similar outcome in accordance with applicable Requirements of Laws), an “Acquired Subsidiary Wind-Down”). Seller shall, in accordance with this Section 8.7, reimburse Buyer and its Affiliates for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses, including attorney fees, incurred by Buyer or its Affiliates in connection such Acquired Subsidiary Wind-Downs exceeding $50,000 in the aggregate; provided, however, that any such costs or expenses exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate shall be born equally by Seller and Buyer; provided, further, that Seller shall have no liability under this Section 8.7 in connection with any costs or expenses incurred in connection with any Acquired Subsidiary Wind- Down after the second anniversary of the Closing Date. Buyer shall give written notice to Seller reasonably promptly following any Acquired Subsidiary Wind-Down (including a description of reimbursable costs and expenses) if Buyer seeks reimbursement of costs and expenses hereunder, in which case Seller shall, within 30 days of receiving such written notice, pay all reimbursements to Buyer in immediately available funds.

11.3. Notice of Claims.
(a) Any Buyer Group Member or Seller Group Member seeking indemnification hereunder (or believing in good faith that it may suffer or incur Losses or Expenses for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification hereunder) (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) a notice describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder (a “Claim Notice”) as promptly as practicable and shall include in such Claim Notice (to the extent then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided that failure timely to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure.
(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article XI shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.
(c) In calculating any Loss or Expense there shall be deducted any insurance recovery in respect thereof (and no right of subrogation shall accrue hereunder to any insurer).
11.4. Third Person Claims.
(a) Subject to Section 11.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any pending or threatened action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought (each such action or suit being a “Third Person Claim”) against such Indemnified Party as to which indemnification will be sought by any Indemnified Party from any Indemnitor hereunder, and in any such case the Indemnitor shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith; provided, that:
55
(i) the Indemnitor may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Person Claim as to which the Indemnified Party has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof; and
(ii) the Indemnified Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitor (which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), pay, compromise or settle any such Third Person Claim, except that no such consent shall be required if, following a written request from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor shall fail, within 14 days after the making of such request, to acknowledge and agree in writing that, if such Third Person Claim shall be adversely determined, such Indemnitor has an obligation to provide indemnification hereunder to such Indemnified Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such Third Person Claim without such consent, provided, that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder unless such consent is unreasonably withheld.
(b) If any Third Person Claim against any Indemnified Party is solely for money damages (and the potential liability of the Indemnitor exceeds the potential liability of the Indemnified Party thereunder, as reasonably determined by the Indemnified Party), or, where Seller is the Indemnitor, will have no continuing effect in any material respect on the Business or the Purchased Assets, then the Indemnitor shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Person Claim against such Indemnified Party as to which indemnification will be sought by any Indemnified Party from any Indemnitor hereunder if the Indemnitor has acknowledged and agreed in writing that, if the same is adversely determined, the Indemnitor has an obligation to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party in respect thereof, and in any such case the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor in connection therewith; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Person Claim as to which the Indemnitor has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such Third Person Claim, provided, that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder unless the Indemnified Party shall have sought the consent of the Indemnitor to such payment, settlement or compromise and such consent was unreasonably withheld or delayed, in which event no claim for indemnity therefor hereunder shall be waived. The Indemnitor may not settle, adjust or compromise any Third Person Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
56
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of any Third Person Claim arising out of or relating to the matters set forth in Section 11.1(a)(v), Seller shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Person Claim, and the applicable Buyer Group Members shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by Seller in connection therewith; provided, that (i) if the Losses and Expenses associated with such Third Person Claims are reasonably likely to exceed $5 million in the aggregate or (ii) if any Third Person Claim arising out of or relating to the matter set forth in Section 11.1(a)(v) have not been finally resolved in accordance with this Article XI on or prior the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, then Buyer shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Person Claim (but, in the case of the foregoing clause (ii) only with respect to such matter), and Seller shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by Buyer in connection therewith. Whether Seller or Buyer has the right to conduct and control the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Person Claim arising out of or relating to the matters set forth in Section 11.1(a)(v) (as applicable, the “Controlling Party”), (i) the other party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Person Claim, and (ii) the Controlling Party shall not, without the written consent of the other party (which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), pay, compromise or settle any such Third Person Claim.
11.5. Exclusive Remedies.

(a) by the mutual consent of Buyer and Seller;
(b) by Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before August 31, 2017 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that either party, if not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, may by written notice to the other party extend the Termination Date by up to 45 days; provided, further, that the failure of the Closing to have occurred on or prior to such date is not the result of a material breach by the party seeking to exercise such right of any of its obligations under this Agreement and that the party seeking to exercise such right is not then in material breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement;
(c) by Buyer in the event of any material breach by Seller of any of Seller’s agreements, representations or warranties contained herein and the failure of Seller to cure such breach within seven days after receipt of notice from Buyer requesting such breach to be cured; or
(d) by Seller in the event of any material breach by Buyer of any of Buyer’s agreements, representations or warranties contained herein and the failure of Buyer to cure such breach within seven days after receipt of notice from Seller requesting such breach to be cured.

12.3. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Article XII, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement (other than Sections 13.2 and 13.10) shall be terminated without further liability of any party to the other, provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for its willful breach of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1. Survival of Obligations. All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Article XI, the representations and warranties contained in Articles V and VI shall terminate on the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, no claim shall be made for the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article V or VI or under any certificate delivered with respect thereto under this Agreement after the date on which such representations and warranties terminate as set forth in this Section.
58
13.2. Confidential Nature of Information. Each party agrees that it will treat in confidence all documents, materials and other information which it shall have obtained regarding the other party during the course of the negotiations leading to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (whether obtained before or after the date of this Agreement), the investigation provided for herein and the preparation of this Agreement and other related documents, and, if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, each party will return to the other party all copies of nonpublic documents and materials which have been furnished in connection therewith. Such documents, materials and information shall not be communicated to any third Person (other than, in the case of Buyer, to its counsel, accountants, financial advisors or lenders, and in the case of Seller, to its counsel, accountants or financial advisors). No other party shall use any confidential information in any manner whatsoever except solely for the purpose of evaluating the proposed purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that after the Closing Buyer may use or disclose any confidential information included in the Purchased Assets or otherwise reasonably related to the Business or the Purchased Assets. The obligation of each party to treat such documents, materials and other information in confidence shall not apply to any information which (i) is or becomes available to such party from a source other than the other party, (ii) is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such party or its agents, (iii) is required to be disclosed under applicable law or judicial process, but only to the extent it must be disclosed, or (iv) such party reasonably deems necessary to disclose to obtain any of the consents or approvals contemplated hereby.
13.3. No Public Announcement. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall, without the approval of the other, make any press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that any such party shall be so obligated by law or the rules of any stock exchange, in which case the other party shall be advised and the parties shall use their best efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued; provided, that the foregoing shall not preclude communications or disclosures necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement or to comply with the accounting and SEC disclosure obligations.
13.4. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or delivered when delivered personally or when sent by registered or certified mail or by overnight courier service addressed as follows:

59
13.5. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The rights of either party under this Agreement shall not be assignable by such party hereto prior to the Closing without the written consent of the other, except that the rights of Buyer hereunder may be assigned in whole or part prior to the Closing, without the consent of Seller, to any corporation, limited liability company or other entity all of the outstanding equity interests of which are, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by Buyer; provided that Buyer shall not be released from any of its obligations hereunder by reason of such assignment. Following the Closing, either party may assign any of its rights hereunder, but no such assignment shall relieve it of its obligations hereunder.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. The successors and permitted assigns hereunder shall include, in the case of Buyer, any permitted assignee as well as the successors in interest to such permitted assignee (whether by merger, liquidation (including successive mergers or liquidations) or otherwise). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any Person other than the parties and successors and assigns permitted by this Section 13.5 any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
13.6. Access to Records after Closing.
(a) For a period of six years after the Closing Date, Seller and its representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records of Seller with respect to the Business transferred to Buyer hereunder to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by Seller in connection with matters relating to or affected by the operations of the Business prior to the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by Buyer upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Seller shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 13.6. If Buyer shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such six-year period, Buyer shall, prior to such disposition, give Seller a reasonable opportunity, at Seller’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as Seller may select.
(b) For a period of six years after the Closing Date, Buyer and its representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records relating to the Business which Seller or any of its Affiliates may retain after the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by Seller and its Affiliates upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Buyer shall be solely responsible for any costs and expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 13.6. If Seller or any of its Affiliates shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such six-year period, Seller shall, prior to such disposition, give Buyer a reasonable opportunity, at Buyer’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as Buyer may select.
13.7. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein and the documents delivered pursuant hereto contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among any of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of the parties hereto.
60
13.8. Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.
13.9. Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
13.10. Expenses. Each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and accountants.
13.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to each of Seller and Buyer. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
13.12. Enforcement of Agreement. In the event of an action at law or in equity between the parties hereto to enforce any of the provisions hereof, the unsuccessful party to such litigation or proceeding shall pay to the successful party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred therein by such successful party on trial and appeal as adjudged by the court, and if such successful party or parties shall recover judgment in any such action or proceeding, such costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees may be included as part of such judgment.
13.13. Further Assurances. From time to time following the Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to Buyer such other instruments of conveyance and transfer as Buyer may reasonably request or as may be otherwise necessary to more effectively convey and transfer to, and vest in, Buyer and put Buyer in possession of, any part of the Purchased Assets, and, in the case of licenses, certificates, approvals, authorizations, agreements, contracts, leases, easements and other commitments included in the Purchased Assets
61
(a) which cannot be transferred or assigned effectively without the consent of third parties which consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing, to cooperate with Buyer at its request in endeavoring to obtain such consent promptly, and if any such consent is unobtainable, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure to Buyer the benefits thereof in some other manner, or
(b) which are otherwise not transferable or assignable, to use its commercially reasonable efforts jointly with Buyer to secure to Buyer the benefits thereof in some other manner (including the exercise of the rights of Seller thereunder); provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve Seller of its obligations under Section 7.3. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any license, certificate, approval, authorization, agreement, contract, lease, easement or other commitment included in the Purchased Assets if an attempted assignment thereof without the consent of a third party thereto would constitute a breach thereof.
13.14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to the conflicts of law provisions) of the State of Delaware.
13.15. Time is of the Essence. With respect to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
13.16. Submission to Jurisdiction. Seller and Buyer hereby irrevocably submit in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to the jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Delaware state court or federal court of the United States located in the State of Delaware) and waive any and all objections to jurisdiction that they may have under the laws of the State of Delaware or the United States.
