23
(iii) If Partner does not deliver a Dispute Notice in accordance with Section 2.5(c)(ii) prior to the expiration of the applicable Review Period, then the Xxxxxxx’ calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount set forth in the Closing Date Schedule shall be deemed final and binding on Xxxxxxx, Partner and the JV Entity for all purposes of this Agreement.
(iv) If Partner delivers a Dispute Notice in accordance with Section 2.5(c)(ii) prior to the expiration of the applicable Review Period, then Xxxxxxx and Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the Closing Net Working Capital Amount in good faith and promptly following any such agreement shall deliver notice to the JV Entity specifying in reasonable detail Xxxxxxx’ and Partner’s resolution thereof. If Xxxxxxx and Partner are unable to reach agreement on the Closing Net Working Capital Amount within 30 days after the end of the applicable Review Period, Xxxxxxx and Partner shall promptly (and, in any event, within 10 Business Days) mutually engage, and submit such dispute (and their respective calculations as to each disputed item, as set forth in the Closing Date Schedule or the Dispute Notice, as applicable) to Ernst & Young (such firm, or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other nationally recognized public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon in writing by Xxxxxxx and Partner, being referred to herein as the “Accounting Firm”).

In calculating the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, the Accounting Firm (x) shall be limited to addressing only the particular disputes referred to in the Dispute Notice(s) and (y) such calculation shall, with respect to any disputed item, be no greater than the highest amount, and no less than the lowest amount, submitted by Xxxxxxx or Partner to the Accounting Firm. The Expert Calculations shall reflect in detail the differences, if any, between the Closing Net Working Capital Amount reflected therein and the Closing Net Working Capital Amount set forth in the Closing Date Schedule, as well as any related differences in the Closing Date Schedule. If any assets that should have been included in the Targeted Net Working Capital Amount were incorrectly omitted from the Targeted Net Working Capital Amount (a “Modification Event”), then the Targeted Net Working Capital Amount shall be recalculated to include the book value of such omitted assets (such recalculated amount, the “Modified Targeted Net Working Capital Amount”). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne the JV Entity.
24
(d) Payment Upon Final Determination of Adjustments. After the Closing Net Working Capital Amount has been finally determined in accordance with Section 2.5(c) (the “Final Closing Net Working Capital Amount”), the Xxxxxxx Investment Amount shall be recalculated by substituting the Final Closing Net Working Capital Amount for the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and, if a Modification Event has occurred, substituting the Modified Targeted Net Working Capital Amount for the Targeted Net Working Capital Amount (such recalculated amount, the “Adjusted Xxxxxxx Investment Amount”) and:
(i) if the Xxxxxxx Investment Amount exceeds the Adjusted Xxxxxxx Investment Amount, the JV Entity shall pay to Xxxxxxx (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the amount of such excess no later than two Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital Amount; or
(ii) if the Adjusted Xxxxxxx Investment Amount exceeds the Xxxxxxx Investment Amount, Xxxxxxx shall pay to the JV Entity (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the amount of such excess no later than two Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital Amount.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

(a) Other than as set forth in Section 2.1(a)(iv) or pursuant to the License Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, Xxxxxxx is not conveying ownership rights with respect to, or granting the JV Entity, the Company or any other Person a license to use, any of the Trademarks of any Xxxxxxx Party or any Affiliate of an Xxxxxxx Party (collectively, the “Retained Names and Marks”) and, after the Closing, none of the JV Entity, Xxxxxx Merger Co. the Company or their respective Affiliates (other than the Xxxxxxx Parties and their respective Affiliates other than the JV Entity and its subsidiaries) shall use in any manner the Trademarks of any Xxxxxxx Party or any Affiliate of an Xxxxxxx Party (including the name “Allscripts”) or any word that is similar in sound or appearance to such Trademarks.

The JV Entity and the Company acknowledge that a violation of this Section 9.1 would cause Xxxxxxx and its Affiliates irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages. The JV Entity and the Company therefore agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 9.1, each Xxxxxxx Party and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that they may have, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and final injunctive relief against the JV Entity or such Affiliate of the JV Entity to prevent any violations of this Section 9.1, without the necessity of posting a bond.

Upon the vesting of the Xxxxxxx Stock-Based Awards, Xxxxxxx (and not the Company or any of its Affiliates) shall (x) claim the compensation expense deduction associated with vesting measured by the fair market value of Xxxxxxx stock at the time of such vesting (the “Compensation Deduction”), (y) pay all employment and withholding Taxes resulting from such vesting and (z) file all Tax Returns related to the payment of such employment and withholding Taxes.
(c) If, upon the subsequent disposition of an audit or other examination by a Governmental Body (whether by settlement or otherwise), it is determined that a Compensation Deduction should properly have been reported by the Company or one of its Affiliates and not by Xxxxxxx, then:
(i) if necessary, Xxxxxxx shall notify the Company and shall provide the Company with adequate information so that it can reflect the Compensation Deduction on the appropriate Tax Returns;
(ii) the Company shall pay Xxxxxxx the amount of any Tax benefits realized by the Company or any of its Affiliates resulting from such Compensation Deduction to the extent the Tax liability of the Company and any of its Affiliates for the taxable year in which the Xxxxxxx Stock-Based Awards vested without taking the related Compensation Deductions into account is greater than the Tax liability of the Company and its Affiliates for the same taxable year taking the Compensation Deductions into account; and
(iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall only be required to take steps to obtain such Tax benefit or to pay Xxxxxxx if, in the reasonable opinion of the Company’s Tax counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Xxxxxxx, the reporting of such Tax benefit is reasonably supportable by applicable law.
Section 9.5 Insurance; Risk of Loss. Xxxxxxx will keep insurance policies currently maintained in respect of the Business, the Transferred Assets and current or former employees of the Business, as the case may be, or suitable replacements therefor, in full force and effect through the close of business on the Closing Date. From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall be solely responsible for all insurance coverage and related risk of loss after the Closing Date, without regard to when the event giving rise to any such claim occurred, with respect to the Business, the Transferred Assets and current or former employees of the Business.
55
Section 9.6 Fees and Expenses. All transaction-related out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred on or after February 22, 2016 and prior to the earlier of (x) the Closing and (y) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE XIII, in connection with (a) this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including in connection with the Xxxxxxx Asset Assignment Transaction and the Xxxxxxx Equity Assignment Transaction) and (b) the Xxxxxx Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Debt Financing), but, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), for the avoidance of doubt excluding Transfer Taxes and Obligations (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement, it being understood that Obligations shall be addressed in the Reimbursement Agreement), including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors, investment bankers and accountants, shall be borne 51% by Xxxxxxx and 49% by Partner. In the event the Closing does not occur and either Xxxxxxx or Partner has paid or pays more than its respective share of any such transaction-related out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses, then the other party shall reimburse the over-paying party for the amount of such over-payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that, if the Closing occurs, the parties hereto shall cause the JV Entity to promptly pay all such costs and expenses and promptly reimburse each of Xxxxxxx and Partner for such costs and expenses previously paid by Xxxxxxx or Partner, respectively.
Section 9.7 Accounts Receivable. All payments and reimbursements made by any third party in the name of or to an Xxxxxxx Party in connection with or arising out of or relating to the Transferred Assets (including accounts receivables) or the Assumed Liabilities, shall be held by such Xxxxxxx Party in trust for the benefit of the Company, and within 30 days after the end of the calendar month in which the relevant Xxxxxxx Party receives any such payment or reimbursement, such Xxxxxxx Party shall pay over to the Company the amount of such payment or reimbursement, together with all corresponding notes, documentation and information received in connection therewith. All payments and reimbursements made by any third party in the name of or to any JV Entity Group Member in connection with or arising out of or relating to the Excluded Assets (including accounts receivables) or the Excluded Liabilities, shall be held by such JV Entity Group Member in trust for the benefit of Xxxxxxx, and within 30 days after the end of the calendar month in which the relevant JV Entity Group Member receives any such payment or reimbursement, such JV Entity Group Member shall pay over to Xxxxxxx the amount of such payment or reimbursement, together with all corresponding notes, documentation and information received in connection therewith.

58
(b) From and after the Closing, each of the JV Entity and the Company agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Xxxxxxx Group Member from and against any and all Losses and Expenses incurred, sustained or suffered by such Xxxxxxx Group Member resulting from or arising out of:
(i) any Assumed Liability;
(ii) any breach by the JV Entity or its subsidiaries of, or failure by such Persons to perform or observe, any of their respective covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement to be performed or observed by it at or after the Closing; and
(iii) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation of the JV Entity contained in this Agreement.
(c) The indemnification provided for in Sections 12.2(a) and Section 12.2(b) (excluding Section 12.2(b)(i), which shall survive indefinitely) shall survive the Closing and terminate on March 1, 2018 (and no claims shall be made by any Xxxxxxx Group Member under Sections 12.2(a) or (b) thereafter); provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement the indemnification provided in Section 12.2(a)(ii) and 12.2(b)(ii) with respect to any covenants, agreements or obligations which by their terms extend beyond the Closing, shall survive the Closing until fully performed in accordance with their respective terms.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any Xxxxxxx Group Member has given a Claim Notice to the JV Entity or Partner, as applicable, in accordance with the requirements of Section 12.3 on or prior to the date on which any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, obligation or indemnification right would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 12.2, such representation, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations and indemnification rights shall continue and survive with respect to the claims set forth in such Claim Notice until the liability of the JV Entity or Partner, as applicable, shall have been finally determined pursuant to this ARTICLE XII, and the JV Entity or Partner, as applicable, shall have reimbursed all Xxxxxxx Group Members for the full amount of such Losses and Expenses that are payable with respect to such claims in accordance with this ARTICLE XII.

(f) The indemnification provided for in Section 12.2(e) shall survive the Closing and terminate on March 1, 2018 (and no claims shall be made by Partner under
59
Section 12.2(e) thereafter); provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement the indemnification provided in 12.2(e)(i) with respect to any covenants, agreements or obligations which by their terms extend beyond the Closing, shall survive the Closing until fully performed in accordance with their respective terms.
Section 12.3 Notice of Claims. Any Partner Group Member, JV Entity Group Member or Xxxxxxx Group Member seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the party who is or may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) a notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder (to the extent then known) and shall include in such Claim Notice (to the extent then estimable) 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.
Section 12.4 Determination of Amount.
(a) In calculating any Loss or Expense, such amounts shall be calculated on an After-Tax Basis and shall be reduced by the net amount of any third-party insurance, indemnification or other proceeds (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred in procuring such recovery (including, in the case of insurance proceeds, any deductible or self-insured retention amount)) actually recovered by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses and Expenses under any insurance policy or other contract, agreement or undertaking. An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such recoveries (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree shall not require the Indemnified Party initiate or maintain any lawsuit).
(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant to Section 12.3, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this ARTICLE XII shall be determined by any of the following methods: (i) written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 14.3; or (iii) any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree in writing. 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) The Company and Xxxxxxx agree to report each indemnification payment made in respect of a Loss or Expense as an adjustment to the value of the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities for federal income Tax purposes.
(d) Except for the representation of Xxxxxxx set forth in the first sentence of Section 5.6, the representations and warranties of the parties set forth herein shall be deemed to not be qualified by, and shall be interpreted without giving effect to, any limitations or qualifications as to “materiality” (including the word “material”) or “Material Adverse Effect” for the sole purpose of determining the amount of Losses and Expenses subject to indemnification under this Article XII (but not for determining whether or not any breach of any warranty or inaccuracy in any representation has occurred).
60
Section 12.5 Third Person Claims.
(a) If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion by any third party of any claim or of the commencement by any such third party of any Action (any such claim or Action being referred to herein as a “Third Person Claim”) with respect to which another party hereto is or may be obligated to provide indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the Indemnitor with a Claim Notice with respect to such Third Person Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the obligation of the Indemnitor to provide indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the defense of such Third Person Claim by the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure. The parties hereto agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third Person Claim and to make available to the other party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such party’s possession or under such party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the other party.
(b) Except with respect to any Special Claim (as defined below) or a Tax contest (which shall be handled pursuant to Section 9.2(c)), the Indemnitor shall have 60 days after receipt of the Claim Notice (unless the claim or Action requires a response before the expiration of such 60-day period, in which case the Indemnitor shall have until the date that is 10 days before the required response date) to acknowledge (in writing) that the Indemnitor may be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses and Expenses payable hereunder in respect of such claim to the extent ultimately adversely determined, subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE XII (provided that such limitations shall not apply to Indemnitor’s Expenses in connection therewith, all of which such expenses shall be the sole responsibility of Indemnitor), and undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, and at its expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in connection therewith; provided, that: (i) the Indemnitor shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnitor (provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be borne by the Indemnitor or constitute Expenses); and (ii) the Indemnitor shall not pay, compromise or settle any Third Person Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if the Indemnitor is paying a majority of the amount of such payment, settlement or compromise or in the Indemnified Party’s sole discretion if not) unless the proposed payment, compromise or settlement (A) involves solely the payment of money damages by the Indemnitor, (B) includes, as an unconditional term of such payment, compromise or settlement, an unconditional and irrevocable release by the Person(s) asserting such claim of the Indemnified Party from any liabilities or obligations with respect to such claim, (C) does not impose any restriction on the Indemnified Party or any injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, and (D) does not include or require a finding or admission of any wrongdoing. So long as the Indemnitor continues to defend the Third Person Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, compromise or settle such claim without the Indemnitor’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For purposes of this Agreement, “Special Claim” shall mean any Third Person Claim that (i) involves any reasonable possibility of criminal liability or an action by any Governmental Body, in each case, primarily involving the Business (as opposed to other businesses of Xxxxxxx), (ii) seeks as a remedy the imposition of a material equitable remedy that would reasonably be expected to be binding on the Indemnified Party or (iii) if determined adversely, would likely result in the Indemnified Party(ies) bearing a majority of the reasonably foreseeable Losses and Expenses (after taking into account the limitations in this ARTICLE XII).
(c) If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing within 60 days after receipt of the Claim Notice (or before the date that is 10 days before the required response date, if the claim or Action requires a response before the expiration of such 60-day period), that it acknowledges that it may be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses and Expenses payable hereunder in respect of such claim to the extent ultimately adversely determined, subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE XII, and elects to undertake the defense of any Third Person Claim described therein in the manner provided in Section 12.5(b), or if the Third Person Claim involves a Special Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise, through counsel of its own choosing (reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor), the Third Person Claim at the expense of the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not pay, compromise or settle any Third Person Claim without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if the Indemnified Party is paying a majority of the amount of such payment, settlement or compromise or in the Indemnitor’s sole discretion if not); provided further, however, that the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnitor at Indemnitor’s expense.
61
Section 12.6 Limitations.
(a) Xxxxxxx shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold the JV Entity Group Members harmless with respect to any Losses or Expenses under Section 12.1(a)(i) or Section 12.1(a)(ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses and Expenses suffered, sustained or incurred by JV Entity Group Members with respect to all matters for which indemnification is to be provided under Section 12.1(a)(i) or Section 12.1(a)(ii), exceeds $3.0 million (the “Deductible”) (it being understood that such amount shall be a deductible for which Xxxxxxx shall bear no indemnification responsibility).
(b) The aggregate amount required to be paid by Xxxxxxx pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(i) and Section 12.1(a)(ii) shall not exceed $22.5 million (the “Cap”).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Deductible and the Cap shall not apply to Losses and Expenses resulting from or arising out of (i) any willful breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation or (ii) the breach or inaccuracy of any of the Xxxxxxx Fundamental Representations and Warranties.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE XII, in no event shall the aggregate amount to be paid by Xxxxxxx pursuant to Section 12.1(a) exceed $300 million.
(e) In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from third Persons any amount in respect of any Losses or Expenses with respect to which an Indemnitor has indemnified it pursuant to this ARTICLE XII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnitor the amount so recovered in respect of such Losses and Expenses (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in procuring such recovery (including, in the case of insurance proceeds, any deductible or self-insured retention amount)), but not in excess of the amount previously so paid by the Indemnitor to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses and Expenses.
62
(f) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.6(i), (I) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS ARTICLE XII FOR (X) ANY PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR (Y) (1) ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OR THE INACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT WHICH (A) WOULD NOT, AS OF THE DATE HEREOF, BE THE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE RESULT OF A BREACH OF SUCH WARRANTY OR INACCURACY OF SUCH REPRESENTATION OF THE NATURE GIVING RISE TO THE RELEVANT INDEMNIFIABLE EVENT OR (B) WERE NOT PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY THE RELEVANT INDEMNIFIABLE EVENT OR (2) ANY DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OR THE INACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT) WHICH ARE NOT THE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE RESULT OF THE RELEVANT INDEMNIFIABLE EVENT OR WERE NOT PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY THE RELEVANT INDEMNIFIABLE EVENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES DESCRIBED IN THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (X) AND (Y) ARE FINALLY DETERMINED TO BE PAYABLE AND ACTUALLY PAID TO A THIRD PARTY IN RESPECT OF A THIRD PERSON CLAIM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS ARTICLE XII, AND (II) WITH RESPECT TO THE INDEMNITIES PROVIDED UNDER SECTIONS 12.1(a)(iv) AND 12.2(b)(i), IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSS OF REVENUES OR PROFITS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE FINALLY DETERMINED TO BE PAYABLE AND ACTUALLY PAID TO A THIRD PARTY IN RESPECT OF A THIRD PERSON CLAIM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS ARTICLE XII.
(g) Except (i) for remedies arising under the JV Entity Ancillary Agreements, Company Ancillary Agreements, Partner Ancillary Agreements and Xxxxxxx Ancillary Agreements (which remedies shall be governed exclusively by the terms thereof and shall not be limited by the terms of this Agreement), (ii) as set forth in Section 12.6(i) and (iii) injunctive and provisional relief (including specific performance), if the Closing occurs, this ARTICLE XII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for breaches of this Agreement (including any covenant, obligation, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement) or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, no remedy related to or arising from any breach of any JV Entity Ancillary Agreement, Company Ancillary Agreement, Partner Ancillary Agreement or Xxxxxxx Ancillary Agreement shall be available under this ARTICLE XII. Subject to Section 12.6(i), the parties may not avoid the limitations on liability, recovery and recourse set forth in this ARTICLE XII by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory or liability. Any liability for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of the JV Entity, the Company, Partner or any Xxxxxxx Party, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, in the event that the Xxxxxxx Investment or the Partner Investment occurs prior to the Xxxxxx Transaction and the Xxxxxx Transaction fails to be consummated for any reason whatsoever and the Xxxxxx Merger Agreement is terminated, the parties hereto agree that concurrently with the termination of the Xxxxxx Merger Agreement, (I) JV Entity shall return to Xxxxxxx and Partner the Xxxxxxx Investment Amount
63
and the Partner Investment Amount, respectively, to the extent paid to JV Entity prior to such time, (II) Xxxxxxx LLC and Partner shall return to JV Entity the JV Entity LLC Agreement, and the Common Units (other than the Common Units issued to Xxxxxxx LLC in exchange for the Initial JV Membership Interest) and Preferred Units purchased hereby shall, without any further action by any party, automatically be cancelled and deemed returned to JV Entity, and (IV) other than the obligations set forth in clauses (I) and (II) of this proviso, the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement and Xxxxxxx and Partner shall have no rights, title or interest in or to the Xxxxxxx Units (other than the Common Units issued to Xxxxxxx LLC in exchange for the Initial JV Membership Interest, which shall be retained by Xxxxxxx LLC) or the Partner Units, respectively. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) Xxxxxxx shall not be required to indemnify any JV Entity Group Member for any Losses to the extent the liability underlying such Losses was included as a current liability in the computation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital Amount and (y) it is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in a duplicative payment of any amount required to be paid under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed accordingly.
(h) In the event it is finally determined that any JV Entity Group Member is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article XII for any Losses or Expenses, such Losses and/or Expenses shall be paid by the Indemnitor to the JV Entity. Xxxxxxx may, at its option, satisfy any indemnification obligation for Losses hereunder (other than pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(iv)) in excess of the first $22,500,000 of Losses payable by Xxxxxxx under this Article XII (other than pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(iv), in whole or in part, by surrendering a number of Common Units with a value equal to the amount of all or such part of such indemnification obligation (based on the Fair Market Value (as defined in the JV Entity LLC Agreement) of such equity as of the time of surrender).
(i) Nothing in this ARTICLE XII shall operate to limit the liability of Xxxxxxx to the JV Entity Group Members in the event Xxxxxxx is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed actual fraud with specific intent to deceive any JV Entity Group Member with respect to the representations and warranties expressly made herein.
Section 12.7 Mitigation. Each of the parties shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses and Expenses that are indemnifiable hereunder.
Section 12.8 No Right of Contribution. None of the JV Entity Group Members shall have any claim or right to contribution or indemnity (including under any provision of any certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of formation, articles of organization, limited liability company agreement, operating agreement or other organizational documents, any indemnification or similar agreement or otherwise) from any Xxxxxxx Group Member or any Partner Group Member with respect to any Losses or Expenses or claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article XII required to be paid by any JV Entity Group Member or other amounts required to be paid by any JV Entity Group Member pursuant to this Agreement. None of the Xxxxxxx Group Members shall have any claim or right to contribution or indemnity (including under any provision of any certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of formation, articles of organization, limited liability company agreement, operating agreement or other organizational documents, any indemnification or similar agreement or otherwise) from any JV Entity Group Member (including the Company) or Partner Group Member with respect to any Losses or Expenses or claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article XII required to be paid by any Xxxxxxx
64
Group Member or other amounts required to be paid by any Xxxxxxx Group Member pursuant to this Agreement. None of the Partner Group Members shall have any claim or right to contribution or indemnity (including under any provision of any certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of formation, articles of organization, limited liability company agreement, operating agreement or other organizational documents, any indemnification or similar agreement or otherwise) from any JV Entity Group Member (including the Company) or Xxxxxxx Group Member with respect to any Losses or Expenses or claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article XII required to be paid by any Partner Group Member or other amounts required to be paid by any Partner Group Member pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 12.9 No Circular Recovery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Xxxxxxx Group Member hereby agrees that it will not, and shall not be entitled to, make any claim for indemnification against the JV Entity or the Company in respect of any Losses or Expenses for which Xxxxxxx is obligated to indemnify any JV Entity Group Member pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(i) or (ii).
ARTICLE XIII

65
Section 14.2 Confidential Nature of Information. Each party hereto agrees that all documents, materials and other information which it shall have obtained regarding the other parties 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 shall be held in confidence pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement, which Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate at Closing. From and after the Closing, each of Partner, the JV Entity and the Company agrees that each such Person will keep confidential and will not disclose or divulge, or, other than in connection with its business relationship with Xxxxxxx and without disclosing or divulging such information to any party other than Xxxxxxx or its subsidiaries expect as permitted by this Section 14.2, use for any purpose, any information obtained from Xxxxxxx or any of its subsidiaries (other than the JV Entity or its subsidiaries) (such information, the “Xxxxxxx Information”), unless such information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 14.2 by such Person or its controlled Affiliates), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by such Person without use of the Xxxxxxx Information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to such Person by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to Xxxxxxx or its subsidiaries (other than the JV Entity or its subsidiaries); provided, however, that each of Partner, the JV Entity or the Company may disclose confidential information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with matters related to Xxxxxxx; (ii) as may otherwise be required by law, provided that such Person promptly notifies Xxxxxxx of such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to avoid or minimize the extent of any such required disclosure and, in the absence of a protective order, provided, further, that such Person discloses only so much of such information to the Person requiring disclosure as is required; or (iii) in satisfaction of requests for information in connection with a routine examination by a governmental regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Partner, the JV Entity or the Company or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, that is not specifically targeted at Xxxxxxx or the Xxxxxxx Information, provided that such Person shall advise the governmental regulatory authority of the confidential nature of such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of Partner, the JV Entity and the Company, from and after the Closing, pursuant to this Section 14.2, shall not apply to, and the following shall not constitute Xxxxxxx Information: (w) any information that relates exclusively to the Business; (x) any information constituting a Transferred Asset; (y) any information provided under the License Agreement (which information shall be governed by the terms of the License Agreement); or (z) any information provided under the Transition Services Agreement (which information shall be governed by the terms of the Transition Services Agreement).

Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Any action or proceeding seeking
66
to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby may be brought against any of the parties only in 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, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, any Federal court of the United States of America, sitting within the State of Delaware), and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby further agree that, (i) the Debt Commitment Letters and the performance thereof by the Financing Sources shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof and (ii) it will not bring any legal proceeding, whether in Requirements of Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letters or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Requirements of Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof).
Section 14.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby expressly waives any right to trial by jury in any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, between the parties hereto arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Xxxxxxx Ancillary Agreements, Company Ancillary Agreements or Partner Ancillary Agreements, or any other instrument or document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith and agrees that such waiver shall extend to the Financing Sources. Any party hereto may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.
Section 14.5 Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, in the event that any Action is instituted concerning or arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall recover from the other party all of such prevailing party’s reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with each and every such Action, including any and all appeals and petitions therefrom.
Section 14.6 No Public Announcement. None of the JV Entity, the Company, Partner or Xxxxxxx shall, without the approval of the others, 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 Requirements of Law, in which case the other parties shall be advised and the parties shall use their reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude communications or disclosures (a) necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement or to comply with the accounting and the SEC disclosure obligations or the rules of any stock exchange or (b) with public stockholders and/or analysts in the ordinary course of business for a transaction of the type contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that, to the extent reasonably practical and subject to Requirements of Law, Xxxxxxx shall provide Partner with drafts of any such written communications or disclosures a reasonable time prior to filing or publication in order to allow Partner an opportunity to provide comments on such communication or disclosure to the extent referencing the JV Entity or the Company and Xxxxxxx shall reasonably consider in good faith such comments provided by Partner.

Such access shall be afforded by the Company upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Xxxxxxx shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 14.9(a).

If Xxxxxxx 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, Xxxxxxx shall, prior to such disposition, give the Company a reasonable opportunity, at the Company’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as the Company may select.
Section 14.10 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules referred to herein, the documents delivered pursuant hereto and the Confidentiality Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all other prior representations, warranties, agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among any of the parties hereto (including the letter agreement, dated February 23, 2016, by and between Xxxxxxx and GI XX XX LLC). Subject to applicable Requirements of Law and subject to Section 14.17, 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Article XIII, Section 14.3, Section 14.4, the final proviso of Section 14.8, this Section 14.10, Section 14.11, Section 14.18, and Section 14.19 (and the related definitions used in those sections and any other provisions of this Agreement to the
69
extent a modification or waiver thereof would serve to modify the substance or provisions of such Sections) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified in a manner that impacts or is adverse in any material respect to any Financing Sources without the prior written consent of such Financing Sources.
Section 14.11 Interpretation. Articles, titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The schedules and exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. The Disclosure Schedule delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and arranged in sections, subsections and paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections, subsections and paragraphs of the Agreement. Any fact or item disclosed in any section of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to (a) the representations and warranties contained in the corresponding section, subsection or paragraph of this Agreement and (b) all other applicable representations or warranties contained in this Agreement if the applicability of such disclosure to any other applicable representation or warranty would be reasonably apparent on its face to a Person reviewing the Disclosure Schedule, regardless of whether an explicit reference to such other representation or warranty is made. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any schedule hereto is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any section of the Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any section of the Disclosure Schedule is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.
Section 14.12 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 the party granting such waiver. 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, not shall any single or partial exercise of any rights, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of a party, such consent shall be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 14.12.
70
Section 14.13 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.
Section 14.14 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 the other parties hereto.
Section 14.15 Further Assurances.
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all action, to do or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Requirements of Law to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including: (i) the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the obligations of any of the parties hereto; (ii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the performance of the obligations hereunder; and (iii) the execution and delivery of such instruments, and the taking of such other actions, as the other party hereto may reasonably require in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from time to time following the Closing, Xxxxxxx shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Company such other instruments of conveyance and transfer as the Company may reasonably request or as may be otherwise necessary to more effectively convey and transfer to, and vest in, the Company and put the Company in possession of, any part of the Transferred Assets, including with respect to any asset held by any Affiliate of Xxxxxxx that would be a Transferred Asset hereunder if owned by an Xxxxxxx Party as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Section 2.2 shall govern with respect to approvals, consents and waivers required in connection with the transfer of Contracts, warranties and Purchase Orders. From time to time following the Closing, the Company shall execute and deliver, or the JV Entity or the Company shall cause to be executed and delivered, to Xxxxxxx such other instruments of assumption as Xxxxxxx may reasonably request or as may be otherwise necessary to evidence the assumption by the Company of the Assumed Liabilities.
Section 14.16 Disclaimer of Warranties. Xxxxxxx makes no representations or warranties with respect to any projections, forecasts or other forward-looking information provided to Partner, the JV Entity or the Company. EXCEPT AS TO THOSE MATTERS EXPRESSLY COVERED BY THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, XXXXXXX DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSFERRED ASSETS OR THE COMPANY EQUITY INTERESTS (INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THE XXXXXXX ASSET
71
ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT OR THE XXXXXXX EQUITY ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH ARE HEREBY SUPERSEDED). Each of the Company, the JV Entity and Partner acknowledges that, except for the representations and warranties of Xxxxxxx set forth in ARTICLE V, neither Xxxxxxx nor any of its representatives or any other Person has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any memoranda, charts or summaries heretofore made available by Xxxxxxx or its representatives to Partner, the JV Entity or the Company or any other information which is not included in this Agreement, and, except as provided in ARTICLE XII (and without limiting the effect of Section 12.6(i)) , neither Xxxxxxx nor any of its representatives or any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to the Company, the JV Entity, Partner, any Affiliate of the Company, the JV Entity or Partner or any other Person (except as expressly set forth in a written agreement entered into between Xxxxxxx and such Person following the date hereof) resulting from (a) the distribution of any such information to, or use of any such information by, the Company, the JV Entity, Partner, any Affiliate of the Company, the JV Entity or Partner or any of their agents, consultants, accountants, counsel or other representatives or (b) any errors in or omissions from any such information. Each of the Company, the JV Entity and Partner acknowledges and agrees that it is not entitled to rely upon any representations or warranties or other statements of fact or opinion, other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement (or in any Xxxxxxx Ancillary Agreement (other than the Xxxxxxx Asset Assignment Agreement or the Xxxxxxx Equity Assignment Agreement), JV Entity Ancillary Agreement, Company Ancillary Agreement (other than the Xxxxxxx Asset Assignment Agreement or the Xxxxxxx Equity Assignment Agreement) or Partner Ancillary Agreement).
Section 14.17 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which any party may be entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction or injunctions or other relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages (which requirements the other parties hereby waive).
Section 14.18 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except for (a) the Indemnified Parties under ARTICLE XII and (b) the Financing Sources with respect to any liability cap or other limitation on remedies or damages in this Agreement that are for the benefit of Partner, ARTICLE XIII, Section 14.3, Section 14.4, the final proviso of Section 14.8, Section 14.10, Section 14.12, this Section 14.18, and Section 14.19.
Section 14.19 No Recourse. Except with respect to the obligations of the Financing Sources owed to Merger Sub under the Debt Commitment Letter (and to the Surviving Corporation (as defined in the Xxxxxx Merger Agreement) following the Merger), no Financing Sources shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, at law or in equity) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection herewith (as the case may be) or any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or such agreement (as the case may be) or the
72
negotiation or execution hereof or thereof, and each such Person waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any Financing Source. The Financing Sources are expressly intended as third party beneficiaries of this Section 14.19.
