For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Tax” and “Taxes” shall mean all U.S. and non-U.S. federal, state, local and taxes, and other assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through withholding), including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto.

The Company is not a party to, or bound by, any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the intellectual property rights of any other person or entity that are necessary to be described in the Company Disclosure Package to avoid a material misstatement or omission and are not described therein. The Company has not received notice of any claims or notices of any potential claim by any person challenging the use of any such Intellectual Property by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property or any license or agreement related thereto, other than any claims that, if successful, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

In the event that any Company Indemnitee claims any such right of indemnification, such Company Indemnitee shall provide to such Investor written notice thereof, together with reasonable detail regarding such claims and in the event that such claim involves third party claims, allow such Investor at its expense to defend such claim(s) on the Company Indemnitee’s behalf. Such Investor shall promptly reimburse the Company Indemnitee for any reasonable and properly documented legal and any other necessary expenses incurred by the Company Indemnitee in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action, but only to the extent incurred prior to the assumption by such Investor of the defense thereof. Any reimbursement by the Investor under this Section 6.2 shall be within sixty (60) days, provided that any individual expense in excess of $10,000 shall require such Investor’s prior approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Investor reserves the right to withhold approval where in the good faith judgment of such Investor, the expenses are not reasonable or properly documented. The Company agrees that it will not, without the Company Indemnitee’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such Company Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding. The obligations of such Investor under this Article 6 shall survive Closing and the transfer, conversion, exchange or redemption of any Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, such Investor shall not be liable to any Company Indemnitee for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special, exemplary or punitive damages of such Company Indemnitee relating to any matters for which indemnification is provided for under this Article 6, other than any such damages arising from a claim of a third party.
