14.
| Confidentiality. (a) During the term of this 2015 Agreement, each Party (a “Disclosing Party”) may provide the other Party (a “Receiving Party”) with Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean the terms of this 2015 Agreement, the financial and transaction data arising from a Qualifying Transaction, the details of the Chegg Order, inventory data, business and marketing plans and business processes, customer contact information, and any other information which under the circumstances, a person exercising reasonable business judgment would understand to be confidential or proprietary. “Confidential Information” shall not include information (i) which is or becomes publicly available without fault by the Receiving Party, (ii) was or is rightfully acquired by the Receiving Party from a source other than the Disclosing Party, (iii) that is independently developed by Receiving Party without reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or (iv) was known to the Receiving Party prior to the date of the disclosure by the Disclosing Party. Receiving Party shall only use the Confidential Information for the purposes contemplated hereunder. Receiving Party will not disclose such information to any third party without the prior written consent of Disclosing Party. Each Party will take the same precautions it takes to protect the confidentiality of such information as are employed to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no case shall such protections be less than the standard of reasonable care for such information in the industry. At termination of this Agreement, upon Disclosing Party’s request, Receiving Party shall return to Disclosing Party all Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in its possession, including, without limitation, all copies and extracts thereof, or shall purge any Confidential Information in its data base maintained for this Agreement except as may be reasonably necessary for historical record keeping purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information (i) to any third-party to the limited extent necessary to exercise its rights or obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as restricted as the duties applicable to the Receiving Party hereunder, (ii) as may be required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) provided however, that in such event the parties agree that Chegg shall file a confidential treatment request with respect thereto and that IHH shall have the right to participate in the drafting of, and any discussions or meetings with the SEC with respect to, any such request, (iii) as required by law or any judicial or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, provided that the Receiving Party will, unless prohibited by law or court order, provide Disclosing Party with notice of such disclosure or (iv) to the limited extent necessary to carry out its obligations under this 2015 Agreement.
|
(b) All customer information provided to IHH by Chegg, including but not limited to Chegg customer contact information, is Chegg’s confidential information, and is being provided to IHH solely for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations under this 2015 Agreement which purpose shall include the use of such customer information by IHH to evaluate and promote efficiencies under the Logistics Agreement. Upon termination of the 2015 Agreement, IHH shall delete all Chegg customer information, and provide Chegg with written confirmation of such deletion, except for any such information it is required by law to retain.
| |

16.
| Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all undisputed sums due under this Agreement at the time of the Event of Default shall be due and payable, and the parties shall be entitled to the additional remedies set forth below:
|
| |
(a)
| The parties acknowledge that if either Party fails, or threatens to fail, to comply with its obligations under Section 14 of this 2015 Agreement, the other Party may suffer irreparable harm for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, if either Party fails to comply with such obligations, then, in addition to its other remedies, the other Party shall be entitled immediately to seek injunctive relief or any other appropriate equitable remedy.
|
| |
(b)
| The rights, powers, and remedies under this 2015 Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies by virtue of any statute or rule of law, all of which rights, powers, and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently. Any waiver, forbearance or failure or delay in exercising any right, power, or remedy shall not preclude the further exercise thereof, and every right, power, or remedy of the non-defaulting Party shall continue in full force and effect.
|
| |
17.
| Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other terms of this 2015 Agreement, each Party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from and against all third party claims (and all damages awarded to third parties, third party liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to: (i) its breach of this 2015 Agreement, (ii) its violation of any applicable law or regulation, or (iii) its negligence. The Indemnifying Party agrees to use counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to defend each indemnified claim. A Party’s obligation to indemnify the other under this paragraph shall arise only if the Indemnified Party provides the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of any claim that might lead to a claim for indemnification and the indemnified Party provides at its own expense all reasonable assistance for the defense of any claim. The Indemnified Party may engage its own counsel at its own expense with respect to any indemnified matter. The Indemnifying Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of a claim without either (i) the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which may not be unreasonably withheld, or (ii) tendering to the Indemnified Party the amount that would have been paid for such judgment or settlement in exchange for a release from the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim so the Indemnified Party may conduct its defense on its own terms. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision in this 2015 Agreement to the contrary, Chegg’s failure to collect, file returns and remit sales taxes as provided herein will be deemed an Event of Default subject to indemnification of IHH under this Section which indemnified amount shall include any related interest and penalties.

|
| |
(b)
| Neither Party shall have any right or ability to assign, transfer, or sublicense any obligations or benefit under this 2015 Agreement without the written consent of the other Party (and any such attempt shall be void), provided, however, IHH shall have the right to assign this 2015 Agreement to one of its affiliates without any such consent.

(g)
