(b) Following the delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet to the Seller, Purchaser shall provide the Seller and its accountants and representatives, at the request of the Seller, with reasonable access during normal business hours to (i) the personnel used by Purchaser in the preparation of the Purchaser Working Capital Schedule and Closing Date Balance Sheet and (ii) books and records of the Acquired Companies as may reasonably be required for the review of the Purchaser Working Capital Schedule and Closing Date Balance Sheet (subject to any limitations that are reasonably required to preserve any applicable attorney-client privilege, protect any proprietary or confidential information unrelated to the PH Business, or comply with third-party confidentiality obligations in effect as of the date hereof (the "Confidentiality Limitations")).
(c) If the Seller has any objections to the Closing Date Balance Sheet or the Purchaser Working Capital Schedule (or any component thereof), it shall deliver to Purchaser a statement describing its objections to Purchaser (the "WC Objection Notice") within sixty (60) days after Purchaser's delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet; provided, however, if Purchaser does not provide the Seller and its accountants and representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to (A) the personnel used by Purchaser in the preparation of the Purchaser Working Capital Schedule and Closing Date Balance Sheet and (B) subject to the Confidentiality Limitations, the books and records of the Acquired Companies as may reasonably be required for the review of the Purchaser Working Capital Schedule and the Closing Date Balance Sheet within five (5) days after a request thereof (or such shorter period as
23
may remain in such sixty (60) day period), such sixty (60) day period shall be extended by one Business Day for each additional Business Day required for Purchaser to comply with this proviso. The Seller shall include in the WC Objection Notice a reasonably detailed calculation of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date as determined by the Seller. Subject to the proviso set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.3(c), (x) if the Seller fails to deliver an WC Objection Notice within sixty (60) days after Purchaser's delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet to the Seller, then the Working Capital set forth on the Purchaser Working Capital Schedule shall be deemed the Final Working Capital Amount, and (y) if the Seller delivers to Purchaser the WC Objection Notice within such sixty (60) day period, and Purchaser disagrees with the Seller's objection, then Purchaser and the Seller will, during the fifteen (15) Business Day period following the date of the WC Objection Notice, or such longer period as the Seller and Purchaser may mutually agree (the "WC Resolution Period"), use reasonable efforts to resolve any such objection themselves.
(d) If at the conclusion of the WC Resolution Period, Purchaser and the Seller have not reached an agreement on the Seller's objections set forth in the WC Objection Notice, then either Purchaser or the Seller may submit any amounts and issues remaining in dispute to Deloitte & Touche LLP (the "Accounting Firm"). In the event the parties submit any amounts or issues remaining in dispute to the Accounting Firm, each party will submit a Closing Statement (which in the case of each party may be a Closing Statement that, with respect to any amounts or issues originally in dispute (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), is different than the Closing Statement initially submitted to the Seller, or the WC Objection Notice delivered to Purchaser, as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate. The Accounting Firm will resolve such dispute by choosing, in its entirety, the Closing Statement proposed by either the Seller or Purchaser, and will make no other resolution of such dispute (including by combining elements of the Closing Statements submitted by both parties). The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be paid by the party whose Closing Statement is not chosen by the Accounting firm in its resolution of the dispute. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the party incurring the cost and expense. The Accounting Firm's determination must be made within thirty (30) days after its engagement (which engagement shall be made no later than ten (10) Business Days after the time of the election by either Purchaser or the Seller to submit the objections to the Accounting Firm), or such longer period as the Accounting Firm may reasonably require, pursuant to a report setting forth such calculation and a reasonable basis for each of its determinations. Such report shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding upon the Seller and Purchaser for all purposes under this Agreement. There shall be no ex parte communications between any party hereto and the Accounting Firm.
(e) Upon determination of the Final Working Capital Amount (as defined below): (a) if the Working Capital Target exceeds the Final Working Capital Amount by more than $500,000 (a "Working Capital Shortfall"), the Purchase Price shall be reduced in accordance with Section 2.3(f) by an amount equal to such excess; and (b) if the Final Working Capital Amount exceeds the Working Capital Target by more than $500,000 (a "Working
24
Capital Surplus"), the Purchase Price shall be increased in accordance with Section 2.3(f) by such excess. For purposes of clarification, should the difference between the Working Capital Target and the Final Working Capital Amount be equal to or less than $500,000, then there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price on account of the Final Working Capital Amount. The term "Final Working Capital Amount" shall mean: (i) if the Seller fails to deliver a WC Objection Notice within the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 2.3(c), the Working Capital Amount set forth on the Purchaser Working Capital Schedule; and (ii) if the Seller delivers a WC Objection Notice within the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 2.3(c), the definitive Working Capital as of the Closing Date agreed to by the Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.3(c) or the Working Capital as of the Closing Date resulting from the determination made by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 2.3(d).
(f) The Purchase Price shall be adjusted to account for a Working Capital Shortfall or Working Capital Surplus by: (i) in the case of a Working Capital Shortfall, Seller paying to Purchaser, within five (5) Business Days of determination of Final Working Capital Amount, an amount of cash equal to the Working Capital Shortfall in immediately available funds to an account designed by Purchaser; and(ii) in the case of a Working Capital Surplus, increasing , within five (5) Business Days of determination of Final Working Capital Amount, the Face Amont by an amount equal to the Working Capital Surplus ; provided, that any payment pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) shall be excluded from the calculation of Negative Cash Flows for purposes of Section 2.4.
SECTION 2.4. Negative Cash Flow Adjustment.
(a) Adjustment. In addition to the Purchase Price adjustment set forth in Section 2.3, the Purchase Price shall be subject to further downward adjustment to the extent Negative Cash Flows (as defined in Schedule 2.4 and calculated pursuant to this Section 2.4 and Schedule 2.4) during the Transition Year exceeds $25,000,000; provided¸ however, that in no event shall the reduction to the Purchase Price as a result of this Section 2.4 exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (it being understood that this limitation shall not apply to other potential adjustments to the Purchase Price set forth elsewhere in this Agreement). Any Purchase Price adjustment made under this Section 2.4 shall be made exclusively by downward adjustment to the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable pursuant to the ACER and the Seller and Purchaser shall take such steps necessary to effect any adjustment to the Face Amount required by this Section 2.4, including execution of an appropriate amendment to the ACER. The parties agree to treat any reduction in the shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable pursuant to the ACER as adjustment to the Purchase Price for income Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
(b) Calculation.
(i) As soon as practicable (and in any event within ninety (90) days) after the end of the Transition Year, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a consolidated statement of cash flows for the Acquired Companies covering the Transition Year
25
(the "Cash Flow Statement"), which shall set forth Purchaser's calculation of the Negative Cash Flows for the Transition Year. Following the delivery of the Cash Flow Statement to the Seller, Purchaser shall provide the Seller and its accountants and representatives, at the request of the Seller, with reasonable access during normal business hours to (A) the personnel used by Purchaser in the preparation of the Cash Flow Statement and (B) the books and records of the Acquired Companies as may reasonably be required for the review of the Cash Flow Statement (subject to the Confidentiality Limitations).
(ii) If the Seller has any objections to the Cash Flow Statement (or any component thereof), it shall deliver to Purchaser a statement describing its objections to Purchaser (the "CF Objection Notice") within sixty (60) days after Purchaser's delivery of the Cash Flow Statement; provided, however, if Purchaser does not provide the Seller and its accountants and representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to (A) the personnel used by Purchaser in the preparation of the Cash Flow Statement and (B) subject to the Confidentiality Limitations, the books and records of the Acquired Companies as may reasonably be required for the review of the Cash Flow Statement within five (5) days after a request therefor (or such shorter period as may remain in such sixty (60) day period), such sixty (60) day period shall be extended by one Business Day for each additional Business Day required for Purchaser to comply with this proviso. The Seller shall include in the CF Objection Notice a reasonably detailed explanation of its objections to the Cash Flow Statement and the Seller's resultant calculation of the Negative Cash Flows. Subject to the proviso set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.4(b)(ii), (x) if the Seller fails to deliver a CF Objection Notice within sixty (60) days after Purchaser's delivery of the Cash Flow Statement to the Seller, then the Negative Cash Flows set forth on the Cash Flow Statement shall be deemed the Final Negative Cash Flows, and (y) if the Seller delivers to Purchaser the CF Objection Notice within such sixty (60) day period, and Purchaser disagrees with the Seller's objection, then Purchaser and the Seller will, during the fifteen (15) Business Day period following the date of the CF Objection Notice, or such longer period as the Seller and Purchaser may mutually agree (the "CF Resolution Period"), use reasonable efforts to resolve any such objection themselves.
(iii) If at the conclusion of the CF Resolution Period, Purchaser and the Seller have not reached an agreement on the Seller's objections set forth in the CF Objection Notice, then either Purchaser or the Seller may submit any amounts and issues remaining in dispute to the Accounting Firm. In the event the parties submit any amounts or issues remaining in dispute to the Accounting Firm, each party will submit a Cash Flow Statement (which in the case of each party may be a Cash Flow Statement that, with respect to any amounts or issues originally in dispute (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), is different than the Cash Flow Statement initially submitted to the Seller, or the CF Objection Notice delivered to Purchaser, as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate. The Accounting Firm will resolve such dispute by choosing, in its entirety, the Cash Flow Statement proposed by either the Seller or Purchaser, and will make no other resolution of such dispute (including by combining elements of the Closing Statements submitted by both parties). The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be paid by the party whose calculation of the Adjustment Amount is not chosen by the Accounting Firm in its resolution of
26
the dispute. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the party incurring the cost and expense. The Accounting Firm's determination must be made within thirty (30) days after its engagement (which engagement shall be made no later than ten (10) Business Days after the time of the election by either Purchaser or the Seller to submit the objections to the Accounting Firm), or such longer period as the Accounting Firm may reasonably require, pursuant to a report setting forth such calculation and a reasonable basis for each of its determinations. Such report shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding upon the Seller and Purchaser for all purposes under this Agreement. There shall be no ex parte communications between any party hereto and the Accounting Firm.
(iv) Upon determination of the Final Negative Cash Flows (as defined below), if the Negative Cash Flows: (A) is equal to or less than $25,000,000, there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price; or (B) exceeds $25,000,000, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced in accordance with Section 2.4(a) by an amount equal to such excess; provided¸ however, that in no event shall the reduction to the Purchase Price as a result of this Section 2.4 exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (it being understood that this limitation shall not apply to other potential adjustments to the Purchase Price set forth elsewhere in this Agreement). The term "Final Negative Cash Flows" shall mean: (i) if the Seller fails to deliver a CF Objection Notice within the applicable period set forth in Section 2.4(b)(ii), the Negative Cash Flows set forth on the Purchaser Cash Flow Statement; and (ii) if the Seller delivers a CF Objection Notice within the applicable period set forth in Section 2.4(b)(ii), the definitive Negative Cash Flows as of the Closing Date agreed to by the Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(ii) or the Negative Cash Flows as of the Closing Date resulting from the determination made by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(iii) (which shall reflect those items theretofore agreed to by the Seller and Purchaser during the CF Resolution Period or otherwise in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(ii)).
(c) Joint Committee. Promptly following the Closing, but not later than ten (10) days following the Closing, the Seller and Purchaser shall each appoint two (2) representatives to participate in a joint oversight committee (the "Committee"), which shall include the chief executive officer of each of Seller and Purchaser or his designee (which designee shall be a member of the executive leadership team with direct reporting responsibility to the chief executive officer of such party). The Committee shall meet monthly during the Transition Year (or such other frequency mutually agreed upon by the Seller and Purchaser) to monitor and review the Negative Cash Flows during the immediately preceding calendar month and to-date for the Transition Year. Purchaser shall reasonably promptly provide to the Committee all data requested by any member of the Committee that is reasonably related to the calculation of Negative Cash Flows during any portion of the
27
Transition Year; provided, that Purchaser shall not be required to provide to the Committee any data or materials to the extent that such disclosure would be reasonably likely to: (i) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege; or (ii) contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or binding agreement (so long as a purpose of such binding agreement was not to prevent the Committee from having access to any data related to the calculation of Negative Cash Flows during any portion of the Transition Year). For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee shall have no operating or management authority related to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies, but Purchaser shall regularly consult with the Committee regarding the operation and management of the PH Business during the Transition Year. All information and documentation reviewed by or provided to the Seller or its representatives participating in the Committee will be deemed Purchaser Confidential Information and will be kept confidential in accordance with, and will otherwise be subject to, the terms set forth in Section 9.2.
(d) Records; Operation of the Company. During the period from the Closing until the determination of Final Negative Cash Flows, Purchaser shall (and shall cause the Acquired Companies to) generate and maintain accurate records (in all material respects) sufficient to allow the calculation and review of Negative Cash Flows and the Cash Flow Statement. During the Transition Year, Purchaser shall (and shall cause the Acquired Companies to) remain engaged primarily in the PH Business, and Purchaser shall not (and shall cause the Acquired Companies, not to) take any action, or refrain from taking any action, with the primary purpose of causing an increase in Negative Cash Flows and resultant reduction in the Purchase Price.
(e) Acknowledgments. For purposes of clarification, the parties acknowledge and agree that:
(i) following the Closing, Purchaser and the Acquired Companies will have the unfettered authority and freedom to operate their respective businesses, free from any restrictions or obligations, whether express or implied, except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.4;

(iii) the parties intend that the parties' relationship and obligations in respect of the subject matter of this Section 2.4 will be solely governed by the express provisions of this Section 2.4 and Schedule 2.4; and
(iv) the calculation of Negative Cash Flow shall exclude any Losses for which Seller has indemnified a Purchaser Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 8.2.
(f) Certain Events.
(i) In the event an Acquired Company acquires by purchase, exchange, merger, asset sale or otherwise any Person or business, whether or not engaged in a business similar or related to the PH Business (an "Acquired Business"), on or prior to the end of the Transition Year, Purchaser and the Acquired Companies, shall each account for any Acquired Business such that the calculation of Negative Cash Flows: (A) will not be affected by
28
such transaction or event involving an Acquired Business; and (B) will continue to be reasonably determinable pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.4.
(ii) In the event of: (A) a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the equity or assets of Purchaser, the Company or the PH Business with or to any Person (other than Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or where Purchaser or the Company is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation); or (B) the liquidation, dissolution, winding up, bankruptcy or insolvency of Purchaser, in each case, that is consummated prior to the end of the Transition Year (each, an "Early Transition Year Event"), the date of the consummation of the Early Transition Year Event shall be deemed the end of the Transition Year for purposes of calculating Negative Cash Flows (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Negative Cash Flows incurred prior to the Early Transition Year Event shall not be annualized).

The Seller has delivered or made available to Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of: (i) each Employee Plan document, any amendments thereto, and all documents embodying and relating to such Employee Plan, (ii)

each trust agreement and insurance policy (including any stop-loss policy), certificate of coverage or group annuity contract relating to any Employee Plan, (iii) annual reports including Forms 5500 (with schedules), 990 and 1041 for the preceding three years for each Employee Plan, as applicable, (iv) the most recent summary plan description and any summary of material modifications for each Employee Plan for which such documents are required, (v) the most recent favorable determination letter or opinion letter issued by the IRS for each Employee Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, (vi) any documents related to an IRS or Department of Labor correction program or submission related to any Employee Plan, and (vii) any communication within the preceding 12 months involving an Employee Plan or related trust to or from the IRS, Department of Labor, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Department of Health and Human Services or other Governmental Authority.

(c) Each Employee Plan has been maintained, in form and operation, in material compliance with the terms of such Employee Plan and the requirements prescribed by ERISA, the Code, ACA, HIPAA and other applicable Law.

Each Employee Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has an opinion or advisory letter or has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to so qualify, and the trusts created thereunder are exempt from tax under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code.

Seller has received written affirmation from its stop loss insurance policy carrier specifying that, with respect to Seller's group medical and prescription drug plan, such carrier agrees that Company is a participating employer under such plan and that claims under such plan of employees of Company and their dependents shall be covered under such stop loss policy through December 31, 2016, and all claims for calendar year 2016 shall be aggregated for each such employee and dependent. Seller has not received any notice that the foregoing affirmation is not still in effect.

Intellectual Property.
|
(a) The Seller or one of its Subsidiaries: (i) owns free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens); or (ii) has a sufficient right or license to all Company IP Rights. As of the effective date of the Restructuring, one of the Acquired Companies: (i) will own free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens); or (ii) will have the sufficient right or license to, all Company IP Rights. The Company IP Rights constitute all proprietary rights necessary to conduct the PH Business as conducted by the Seller and its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof.
(b) Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has knowingly permitted the Seller's or one of its Subsidiaries' rights in any Intellectual Property that is Company-Owned IP Rights to enter the public domain or, with respect to any Intellectual Property used in the PH Business for which the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries has submitted an application or obtained a registration, lapse (other than through the expiration of registered Intellectual Property at the end of its maximum statutory term). Each of the Seller and each of its Subsidiaries has taken commercially reasonable actions, measures and precautions to maintain, safeguard and protect and secure its trade secrets to the extent reasonably necessary pursuant to applicable Law and, to the Seller's Knowledge, there has been no unauthorized release, disclosure or dissemination of any such trade secrets.
(c) Following the Restructuring, the Company or one of its Acquired Subsidiaries will own and have good and exclusive title to (free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens), or an exclusive license to, each item of Company-Owned IP Rights. None of the Company-Owned IP Rights, the Company Products, the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (with respect to such Person's operation of the PH Business) or an Acquired Company is subject
41
to any Legal Proceeding or outstanding order, settlement agreement, covenant not to xxx or similar Contract: (i) restricting in any material respect the use, transfer, or licensing of any Company-Owned IP Right or any Company Product, or which may affect the validity, use or enforceability of any such Company-Owned IP Right or Company Product; or (ii) materially restricting the conduct of the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates. There are no royalties, honoraria, fees or other payments payable by Seller or one of its Subsidiaries (or, following the Restructuring, by an Acquired Company) to any Person (other than salaries or other compensation payable to employees, consultants and independent contractors not contingent on or related to use of their work product) as a result of the ownership, use, possession, sale or disposition of any Company-Owned IP Rights by such Person.
(d) Neither the execution, delivery or effectiveness of this Agreement, including the Sale, nor the performance of the Company's obligations under this Agreement will cause the forfeiture or termination of, or give rise to a right of forfeiture or termination of any Company-Owned IP Right, or materially impair the right of an Acquired Company to use, possess, sell or license any Company-Owned IP Right or portion thereof as such Company-Owned IP Right or portion thereof was used in the conduct of the PH Business prior to the date hereof. None of the Company IP Rights Agreements grants any third party exclusive rights to or under any Company IP Rights or grants any third party the right to sublicense any Company IP Rights.
(e) All Company IP Rights Agreements (excluding: (A) shrink wrap and similar self-executing licenses for commercially-available Software; and (B) non-exclusive licenses granted to customers in the ordinary course of business) are listed in Section 3.19(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and all of such Contracts are binding on the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries (and as of the effective date of the Restructuring, one of the Acquired Companies) and, to the Seller's Knowledge, the other parties thereto, and the Seller or applicable Subsidiary (and following the Restructuring, the applicable Acquired Company) and, to the Seller's Knowledge, such other parties are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Company IP Rights Agreements. Section 3.19(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of all Software constituting Third Party Intellectual Property Rights used in the Company Products as delivered to customers.
(f) Section 3.19(f) of the Company Disclosure Letter lists all Company Registered Intellectual Property used in the conduct of the PH Business, including the jurisdictions in which each such item of Intellectual Property has been issued or registered or in which any application for such issuance and registration has been filed, or in which any other filing or recordation has been made. Each item of Company Registered Intellectual Property is subsisting, unexpired (or in the case of pending applications, applied for) and, to the Seller's Knowledge, valid, all registration, maintenance and renewal fees due in connection with such Company Registered Intellectual Property as of the Closing have been paid and all documents, recordations and certificates in connection with such Company Registered Intellectual Property required as of the Closing to be filed have been filed with the relevant patent, copyright, trademark or other authorities in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, as the case may be,
42
for the purposes of prosecuting, maintaining and perfecting such Company Registered Intellectual Property and recording the applicable Acquired Company's ownership interests therein.
(g) To the Seller's Knowledge, there is no unauthorized use, unauthorized disclosure, infringement or misappropriation of any Company-Owned IP Rights, by any third party, including any employee or former employee of the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries. Since January 1, 2014, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates has brought any action, suit or proceeding against a third party for infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property or breach of any Company IP Rights Agreement.
(h) The PH Business is not currently, and since January 1, 2014 has not been, involved in, any Legal Proceeding (or received any written notice or, to the Seller's Knowledge, threat) which involves a claim of infringement or misappropriation by Seller or any of its Affiliates of any Intellectual Property right of any third party or which contests the validity, ownership or right of the Seller or any of its Affiliates (with respect to the PH Business) to exercise any Company IP Rights. Since January 1, 2014, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has received any written communication that involves an offer to license or grant any other rights or immunities under any Third Party Intellectual Property Right used in the PH Business.
(i) The operation of the PH Business does not infringe or misappropriate the Intellectual Property rights of any third party.
(j) The Seller and each of its Subsidiaries has secured from all consultants, employees and independent contractors who independently or jointly contributed to the reduction to practice, creation or development of any Company-Owned IP Rights unencumbered and unrestricted exclusive ownership of, all such third party's Intellectual Property in such contribution that the Seller or applicable Subsidiary does not already own by operation of Law and such third party has not retained any rights or licenses with respect thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries has obtained proprietary information and invention disclosure and assignment agreements from all current and former employees and consultants of such Person who made material contributions to the development of any Company-Owned IP Rights.
(k) The Seller and each of its Subsidiaries have taken commercially reasonable steps to protect and preserve: (i) the confidentiality of all confidential or non-public information owned by the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries and included in the Company IP Rights for a Company Product or that is otherwise material to the PH Business or an Acquired Company ("Business Confidential Information"); and (ii) all proprietary information of customers and business partners. All disclosure of Business Confidential Information or proprietary information of customers and business partners to a third party has been pursuant to the terms of a written contract between the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries and such third party, and Seller and, to Seller's Knowledge, such third party, are each in compliance with such written contracts.
43
(l) Except as set forth in Section 3.19(l) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has delivered or licensed to any Person, agreed to disclose, deliver or license to any Person, any escrow agent or other Person of, any Company Source Code, except for disclosures to employees, contractors or consultants under binding written agreements that prohibit use or disclosure other than in the performance of services to the Seller or one of its Subsidiaries. No event has occurred, and no circumstance or condition exists (including the Sale or Restructuring), that (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) would reasonably be expected to result in the disclosure, delivery or license by any Acquired Company or, to the Seller's Knowledge, any Person then acting on Seller's, any of its Subsidiaries' or any Acquired Company's behalf to any Person of any Company Source Code.
(m) To the Seller's Knowledge, the Company Source Code does not contain any "back door," "time bomb," "Trojan horse," "worm," "drop dead device," "virus" (as these terms are commonly used in the computer software industry), or other Software routines or hardware components intentionally designed to permit unauthorized access, to disrupt, disable or erase Software, hardware or data, or to perform any other similar type of unauthorized activities.
(n) Except as set forth on Section 3.19(n) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company Products do not contain any Open Source Materials. With respect to the Open Source Materials identified thereon, Section 3.19(n) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth: (i) the name and version number used in any Company Product; (ii) the names of the licenses under which the Open Source Materials are licensed; (iii) the names of the entities that have granted the license (e.g. UC Berkeley, Sun, etc.); and (iv) the names and version numbers for each Company Product that has been created with, incorporates or is distributed with any Open Source Materials. Each Acquired Company is in material compliance with the terms and conditions of the applicable license for the Open Source Materials. Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has used Open Source Materials in such a way that require, as a condition of use, modification and/or distribution of such Open Source Materials that any Software comprising any portion of any Company Product in which such Open Source Material is incorporated be (A) disclosed or distributed in Source Code form, (B) be licensed for the purpose of making derivative works, or (C) be redistributable at no charge.
(o) All Company Products sold, licensed, leased or delivered in the PH Business and all services provided by or through the PH Business on or prior to the Closing Date conform in all material respects to any applicable contractual commitments.

(b) If an Indemnified Party becomes aware of any third‑party claim which it believes may result in a claim for indemnification for Losses (an "Indemnification Claim"), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control in any defense of such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the control of any such defense (and the Indemnified Party shall control such defense at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) if: (i) the Indemnification Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Legal Proceeding; (ii) the Indemnifying Party is also a Person against whom the Indemnified Claim is made and the Indemnified Party is advised by legal counsel that joint representation would be inappropriate; (iii) if the Indemnified Party is a Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Indemnification Claim is asserted by a customer or supplier of the PH Business; or (iv) the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its assumption of the defense of such Indemnification Claim within twenty (20) Business Days following delivery of written notice of such Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim without prejudice to its rights to be indemnified hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party's counsel that are incurred prior to the Indemnifying Party's effective assumption of any Indemnification Claim shall be the responsibility of the Indemnifying Party if such assumption occurs more than ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnifying Party shall have received notice of such Indemnification Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless: (i) the sole relief is monetary damages that will be solely satisfied by the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) the claimant provides the Indemnified Party an unqualified release from all Liability in respect of the Indemnification Claim. In the event of a direct conflict between this Section 8.4(b) and Section 8.7, the provisions of Section 8.7 shall prevail.
(c) With respect to any Indemnification Claim, both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall, to the extent requested by the other Person, keep the other Person informed in all material respects of the status of such Indemnification Claim and any related Legal Proceedings where such Person is not represented by its own counsel.

SECTION 8.5. Limitation on Indemnity Claims; Recourse.
(a) With respect to the Seller's obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser Indemnified Parties for their Losses:
(i) pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless shall only apply after the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds on a cumulative basis $200,000 in the aggregate (the "Deductible"), and then only to the extent of such excess; provided, however, that the Deductible shall not apply to Losses suffered or paid by any Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of the breach of any Fundamental Representation, it being agreed that, in such circumstances, the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party shall, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article 8, be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless from the first dollar of such Losses, and any such Losses shall not count towards the Deductible;
(ii) pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) and Section 8.2(a)(ii), the Seller's aggregate liability shall not exceed $30,000,000 (the "Cap Amount"), provided, however, that the Cap Amount shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of any reduction to the Purchase Price as a result of a determination of Final Negative Cash Flows in excess of $25,000,000 pursuant to Section 2.4; and
(iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the limitations contained in this Section 8.5(a) shall apply to: (A) indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ii) as a result of a breach of Seller's payment obligations under Section 2.3(f), Section 2.3(g), Section 6.3(b) Section 6.12, Section 6.14, Section 6.16 or Section 11.13; or (B) any indemnification obligation of the Seller as to any matter that is based upon intentional fraud asserted against the Person who committed such fraud (or whose employees or representatives committed such fraud).
(b) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is available pursuant to this Article 8 shall be reduced by (i) any amounts actually received by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policies (net of any costs of collection and increases in premiums resulting from such claim) or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment recovered by the Indemnified Party from any third party with respect thereto (net of any costs of collection) and (ii) any Tax Benefit inuring to the Indemnified Party on account of such Loss in any taxable year (solely to the extent the Indemnified Party received the Tax Benefit in the taxable period in which such Loss occurred). If the Indemnified Party receives a recovery or realization under any insurance policy or any indemnity, contribution or similar payment or a Tax Benefit in respect of a Loss and the amount of the indemnity payment under this Article 8 was not previously reduced by the amount of such recovery or realization (or any portion thereof), the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such recovery or realization up to the amount of the indemnification payment previously made to the Indemnified Party. For purposes hereof, "Tax Benefit" shall mean, with respect to any Loss subject to indemnity under this Article 8, an amount by which the Tax liability of a party (or a group of Persons filing a Tax Return that includes such party), with respect to a taxable period, is reduced or reducible for such
71
taxable period as a result of such Loss, but shall not include any deferred tax attributes such as adjustments to amortization or depreciation realizable in future tax periods or increases in net operating loss carryforwards.
(c) From and after the Closing, except for (i) the right of a party to pursue equitable relief pursuant to Section 10.3 of this Agreement (including specifically the covenants contained in Article 9); and (ii) any claim of intentional fraud asserted against the Person who committed such fraud (or such Person's employees or representatives), the indemnification terms set forth in this Article 8 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller for any and all Losses or other claims relating to or arising from this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including in any exhibit, Schedule or certificate delivered hereunder, in each case regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, and the parties hereto hereby agree that no Person (and no Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller) shall have any remedy or recourse with respect to any of the foregoing other than as expressly set forth in this Article 8 (and subject to the limitations and terms set forth in this Article 8). Subject to Section 8.5(e), to the extent any Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 (other than indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ii) as a result of a breach of Seller's payment obligations under of Section 2.3(f), Section 2.3(g), Section 6.3(b), Section 6.12, Section 6.14, Section 6.16 or Section 11.13, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties' sole source of recovery in respect of indemnification claims pursuant to this Article 8 shall be: (1) until the issuance of Purchaser Common Stock upon conversion of the ACER, a reduction in the Face Amount, and the Seller shall have no further liabilities or obligations to Purchaser or any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article 8 or any other provision of this Agreement; and (2) following issuance of Purchaser Common Stock upon conversion of the ACER, as set forth in Section 8.5(d). Upon any adjustment of the Face Amount pursuant to this Section 8.5(c), each of the Seller and Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to adjust the ACER, including execution of an appropriate amendment to the ACER.
(d) Subject to Section 8.5(e), to the extent any Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification following issuance of the Purchaser Common Stock upon conversion of the ACER, Purchaser shall have the right to seek reimbursement for its Losses directly from the Seller; provided however, that (other than indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ii) as a result of a breach of Seller's payment obligations under of Section 2.3(f), Section 2.3(g), Section 6.3(b), Section 6.12, Section 6.14, Section 6.16 or Section 11.13) Purchaser shall first seek reimbursement for its Losses by way of return of Purchaser Common Stock (to the extent available). Subject to Section 8.5(e), in the event that Purchaser seeks indemnification from Seller by way of return of Purchaser Common Stock, Seller shall, promptly following the request of Purchaser, return to Purchaser certificates representing shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to Seller's indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (by reference to the Conversion Price), which Purchaser Common Stock shall be cancelled by Purchaser (who shall then re-issue to Seller such lesser amount of Purchaser Common Stock to which the Seller shall become entitled, if any, after such indemnification payment). Should the Seller fail to so submit
72
its certificates representing shares of Purchaser Common Stock promptly upon Purchaser's request, Purchaser is hereby empowered, authorized and entitled to cancel and re-issue the Purchaser Common Stock in its stock ledger in accordance with this paragraph and to treat the Seller as the owner of such lesser amount of Purchaser Common Stock for all purposes thereafter.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.5(c) or Section 8.5(d), to the extent any Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 8, Seller shall have the option, upon written notice to Purchaser, to either: (i) pay to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party(s) the amount of Losses in cash; or (ii) provide that such Losses shall be indemnified pursuant to the reduction in the Face Amount or return of Purchaser Common Stock, as applicable, in accordance with Sections 8.5(c) or Section 8.5(d), as applicable; and Seller shall provide Purchaser with such notice of its intention within ten (10) Business Days of the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party's delivery of a claim for indemnification or Indemnification Claim, as applicable, and Seller's failure to provide such notice within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed an election to proceed in accordance with Section 8.5(e)(ii).
(f) Solely for purposes of determining the amount of Loss related to a breach of a representation or warranty, the parties hereto shall disregard any "material," "Material Adverse Effect" or similar qualifiers set forth therein (i.e., such qualifications shall be given full effect for purposes of determining whether any representation or warranty has been breached).
(g) No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 to the extent such Loss reduced the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the ACER pursuant to Section 2.4 as a result of incorporation into the determination of Final Negative Cash Flows.
SECTION 8.6. Conversion Price. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for all matters relating to valuation of the Purchaser Common Stock, including any adjustments thereto pursuant to this Article 8, the value of the Purchaser Common Stock for all purposes hereunder shall be the Conversion Price as of the date the claim for indemnification is made.
SECTION 8.7. Tax Matters. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 8.4(b)), the following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Purchaser, Purchaser, the Company and the Seller for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date, and shall apply to any disputes or contests relating to Tax matters.
(a) If notice of any audit, litigation or similar proceeding with respect to Taxes of an Acquired Company shall be received by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or the Seller for which the Seller may be liable pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement (a "Seller Tax Claim"), Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, shall notify the other party in writing of the Seller Tax Claim, as provided in Section 8.4(a). Purchaser shall control the defense of Seller Tax Claims in good faith and the Seller shall have the right to elect to participate in such proceedings at its own costs and expense. To the extent the Seller Tax
73
Claim relates to Taxes of an Acquired Company for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not settle, resolve or abandon (or permit to be settled, resolved or abandoned) the Seller Tax Claim without providing the Seller a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such proposed settlement, resolution or abandonment; provided, however, that if a proposed settlement of the Seller Tax Claim would result in a claim for indemnification against the Seller, the settlement, resolution or abandonment of such proceeding will require the approval of the Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, further, however, that if the Seller fails to approve timely such proposed settlement of the Seller Tax Claim, then Purchaser shall continue to negotiate the Seller Tax Claim at the Seller's sole cost and expense, payable by the Seller to Purchaser in advance of Purchaser's incurrence of any additional costs or expenses. In such event, should the Seller fail to advance Purchaser's costs and expense, then Purchaser shall no longer require the Seller's approval to settle, resolve or abandon any the Seller Tax Claim and shall be indemnified for the amount of any such settlement or resolution (including applicable costs and expenses related thereto) pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Any sales, use, transfer, gains, stamp, duties, recording and similar Taxes incurred as a result of the Sale (collectively, "Transfer Taxes") shall be borne by Purchaser. Purchaser shall prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes (the "TransferTax Returns"). If required by applicable Tax Law, the Seller will join in the execution of any Transfer Tax Return.
(c) Any dispute, controversy, or claim between Purchaser or an Acquired Company, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to the provisions of this Agreement that relate solely to Taxes that cannot be resolved by negotiations between Purchaser and the Seller shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution. The Accounting Firm shall control the proceedings related to the dispute resolution and may request such evidence and information as it deems necessary. The Accounting Firm shall determine only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and, absent manifest error, the resulting computation of any Tax, fee, deduction or other amount in dispute which, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on Purchaser, the Company, the Seller and their respective Affiliates. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by the Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other.
(d) Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 8.7 and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party's request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees and, as applicable, advisors available on a mutually
74
convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
(e) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

SECTION 9.2.

Acknowledgments and Agreements.
|
(a) The Seller hereby acknowledges, agrees and covenants that, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing, the Seller and each of its Affiliates will keep confidential, will hold for the sole benefit of Purchaser and its Affiliates, and will not use except on behalf of Purchaser and its Affiliates, all Purchaser Confidential Information, which the Seller acknowledges is, or shall be, proprietary to Purchaser and its Affiliates; provided, however, that any Purchaser Confidential Information that is also considered a trade secret under applicable Law shall not be disclosed by the Seller or any of its Affiliates as long as such information remains a trade secret and is not generally known or available to the public other than as a result of unauthorized or unlawful disclosure directly or indirectly by such Person. The Seller agrees that upon request it shall, at the Seller's discretion, return to the Company or destroy all Purchaser Confidential Information in whatever form such information is in the possession of the Seller or under the Seller's control; provided, however, such return or destruction shall not extend to Purchaser Confidential Information on back-up servers that are not accessible in the ordinary course of business, and of Information required to be retained pursuant to Law; provided, further, that in each case, the Seller and its Affiliates shall be required to abide by its obligations regarding such Purchaser Confidential Information contained in this Section 9.2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of confidentiality, nondisclosure and non-use with respect to Purchaser Confidential Information required by this Section 9.2 shall not apply to any Purchaser Confidential Information required to be disclosed in a judicial or administrative Legal Proceeding, or is otherwise required to be disclosed by Law, in any such case only after giving Purchaser as much advance notice of the possibility of such disclosure as practical so that Purchaser may attempt to stop such disclosure or obtain a protective order concerning such disclosure (in which case the Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser at Purchaser's expense in such attempts).
(b) At the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement, dated March 31, 2016, between the Seller and Purchaser (the "Confidentiality Agreement") shall terminate solely with respect to that portion of the Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) that is included in the Contributed Assets in accordance with the terms set forth therein, and Purchaser's confidentiality obligations thereunder will continue in full force and effect with respect to (and only with respect to) that portion of the Information that is not included in the Contributed Assets; provided, that nothing contained herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement will prohibit Purchaser or its Affiliates from disclosing any information to the extent required to be disclosed in a judicial or administrative Legal Proceeding, or is otherwise required to be disclosed by Law, in any such case only after giving Seller as much advance notice of the possibility of such disclosure as practical so that Seller may attempt to stop such disclosure or
76
obtain a protective order concerning such disclosure (in which case the Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller at Seller's expense in such attempts).
SECTION 9.3. Limited Activities. From the Closing Date and until the date that is two (2) years after the Closing Date, for the purposes of protecting the goodwill of the PH Business which Purchaser is acquiring, the Seller will not, directly or indirectly, for any reason, for its own benefit, or for the benefit of or together with any other Person, directly or indirectly:
(a) solicit or conspire with, or attempt to solicit or conspire with, any employee, manager, director or advisor of any Acquired Company as of the Closing Date to terminate that Person's engagement or relationship with the Company or any of its Acquired Subsidiaries;
(b) solicit or attempt to solicit any of the Customers or Suppliers (each as defined below) of the Acquired Companies to terminate their business relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries (as used herein, "Customers" and "Suppliers" shall be defined as any Person that has been an active customer or supplier of the PH Business or a targeted prospective customer or supplier of the PH Business during the two years prior to the date hereof);
(c) be engaged as an owner, co-owner, or other investor of or in, or lender to, whether as an employee, independent contractor, consultant or advisor, or sales representative or distributor of any kind, in any business developing, marketing or selling any PHB Services (the "Restricted Business"), with the parties acknowledging that the Acquired Companies are actively engaged in the Restricted Business throughout the world; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing prohibition on ownership shall not apply to ownership of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding capital stock of any such Restricted Business that is publicly traded and (ii) Seller shall be permitted to engage in any business constituting the Network Solutions Business.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that in the event of the Seller's (or any of its Affiliates') direct or indirect: (i) acquisition by a Person, whether by merger, consolidation, combination, equity sale or otherwise, or (ii) transfer of control or ownership of substantially all of its assets to a Person (each, a "Seller Change in Control"), and such acquiring Person, prior to the time of the Seller Change in Control, operates a business that would otherwise constitute a Restricted Business, then such Person shall not be restricted from continuing to engage in such pre-existing Restricted Business so long as the Seller (and its direct and indirect subsidiaries) are not otherwise in breach of Section 9.2 or this Section 9.3.
SECTION 9.4. Severability; Reformation. The covenants in this Article 9 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant in this Article 9 is not intended by either party to, and shall not, affect the provisions of any other covenant in this Article 9. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time, or territorial restrictions set forth in Section 9.3 are unreasonable as applied to the Seller, the parties acknowledge their
77
mutual intention and agreement that those restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent the court deems reasonable, and thereby shall be reformed to that extent.
SECTION 9.5. Independent Covenant. All of the covenants in this Article 9 are intended by each party hereto to be, and shall be construed as, an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Seller against Purchaser or its Affiliates, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Purchaser or its Affiliate of any covenant in this Article 9. It is specifically agreed that the period specified in Section 9.3 shall be computed by excluding from that computation any time during which the Seller is in violation of any provision of Section 9.3.
SECTION 9.6. Materiality. Purchaser and the Seller hereby agree that this Article 9 is a material and substantial part of this Agreement, and absent the Seller entering into the restrictions of this Article 9, Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement and consummated the Sale.

The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages and without posting a bond, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or equity, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement.

Such service of process shall have the same
81
effect as if the party being served were a resident in the State of Delaware and had been lawfully served with such process in such jurisdiction. The parties hereby waive all claims of error by reason of such service. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the other in any other jurisdiction to enforce judgments or rulings of the aforementioned courts. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.5. In the event of a dispute between any of the parties hereto with respect to the obligations under this Agreement or the Contribution and Assumption Agreement, the prevailing party in any Legal Proceeding in any court or arbitration in connection therewith will be entitled to recover from such other party its costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and associated court costs.
SECTION 11.6. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that no party hereto may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of their respective obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the non-assigning, delegating or transferring party.
SECTION 11.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of, and not the conflicts of laws provisions of, the State of Delaware.
SECTION 11.8. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts (including by way of facsimile or Portable Document Format (PDF)), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto.
SECTION 11.9. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
82
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
SECTION 11.10. Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.11. Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either party. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.12. Representation of the Seller and its Affiliates. Purchaser agrees that, following the Closing, Bass, Xxxxx & Xxxx PLC may serve as counsel to the Seller and its Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement or any related agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Purchaser (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) hereby (i) waives any claim they have or may have that Bass, Xxxxx & Xxxx PLC has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in representing the Seller or its Affiliates as set forth above and (ii) agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser, any Acquired Company, and the Seller or any of the Seller's Affiliates, Bass, Xxxxx & Xxxx PLC may represent the Seller or any of the Seller's Affiliates in the dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Purchaser or the Acquired Companies and even though Bass, Xxxxx & Xxxx PLC may have represented the Acquired Companies in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Purchaser (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) also further agrees that, as to all communications among Bass, Xxxxx & Xxxx PLC and the Acquired Companies and the Seller or the Seller's Affiliates and representatives, that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any related agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith, and that occurred prior to the Closing, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Seller and will not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or any Acquired Company as a result of the transaction contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the Closing a dispute arises between Purchaser, any Acquired Company, and a third party other than a party to this Agreement regarding a matter that occurred before Closing, then the Acquired Companies may assert all proper privileges and protections, including the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of pre-Closing confidential communications with Bass, Xxxxx & Xxxx PLC to the third party; provided, however, that no Acquired Company may waive any privilege or protection from
83
disclosure of pre-Closing communications with Bass, Xxxxx & Xxxx PLC without the prior written consent of the Seller.
SECTION 11.13. Consents. Purchaser acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Contribution and Assumption Agreement may be required from parties to Contracts (the "Contract Consents") to which the Seller, its Subsidiaries, or any Acquired Company is a party (including the contracts set forth on Section 3.7 of the Company Disclosure Letter) and that certain Contract Consents may not be obtained by the Closing. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that no Purchaser Indemnified Party may seek indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 for Losses incurred due to the failure to obtain any Contract Consents; provided, however, that this Section 11.13 shall not: (a) limit the Seller's liability for any consent payment, change of control payment or other payment triggered by the Restructuring or the Sale, in each case incurred in connection with obtaining any Contract Consents set forth on Schedule 7.1(h); or (b) preclude the inclusion of the impact of the failure of obtaining any Contract Consents as part of the calculation of Final Negative Cash Flows. Purchaser further agrees that no representation, warranty or covenant of the Seller contained herein will be breached or deemed breached and no condition of Purchaser will be deemed not to be satisfied as a result of the failure to obtain any Contract Consent except to the extent the applicable Contract is not listed on Section 3.7 of the Company Disclosure Letter or is listed on Schedule 7.1(h). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.13 will limit Purchaser's remedies to the extent that the Seller has failed to disclose a Contract Consent required to be disclosed in the disclosure schedules of the Seller or has otherwise breached the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 and Article 4 hereof.
SECTION 11.14. Limitation on Recourse. No claim by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of any party hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder shall be brought or maintained by any party hereto or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any officer, director, employee (present or former) or Affiliate of any of Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or the Seller, as applicable (who shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 11.14), which is not otherwise expressly identified as a party hereto, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of any party hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.
