Section 1.12 Bulk Transfer Laws. Seller will be responsible for complying with the provisions of any so called “bulk transfer laws” of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser. Any Loss or Liability suffered by Seller or Purchaser as a result of the failure of Seller to comply with the provisions of any bulk sales law applicable to the sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser as contemplated by this Agreement are considered to be Excluded Liabilities and shall be borne by Seller.

Section 1.13 Further Actions.

(a) If, after the Closing Date, Purchaser identifies any Purchased Asset that was not delivered on the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser or cause to be delivered to Purchaser such Purchased Asset without any further compensation and, until such Purchased Asset is so delivered, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such Purchased Asset shall not constitute a Purchased Asset and any associated Liability shall not constitute an Assumed Liability for all purposes hereunder. After the Closing Date and until all such assets are transferred to Purchaser, Seller shall (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain any registration, permit, authorization, consent or approval of any Person that may be deemed necessary, proper or appropriate for delivery of such assets, (ii) hold such assets in trust for Purchaser, (iii) comply with the terms and provisions of or relating to such assets as agent for Purchaser for Purchaser’s benefit, (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in any reasonable and lawful arrangements, in any case reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, designed to provide the benefits of such assets to Purchaser and (v) enforce any rights of Seller under or arising from such assets against any third Person, including the right to elect to terminate any such rights in accordance with the terms of such rights upon the written direction of Purchaser.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an attempted sale, assignment, transfer or delivery of any Purchased Asset would be ineffective without the consent of any third party, or if such an act would violate the rights of any third party in the Purchased Assets or otherwise affect adversely the rights of Purchaser in the Purchased Assets, and the applicable consent has not been obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement shall not constitute an actual or attempted sale, assignment, transfer or delivery of such Purchased Asset.

Section 1.14 Appointment. After the Closing, in the event that Purchaser is unable, after reasonable notice to Seller, for any reason whatsoever, to secure Seller’s signature to any document that Seller is required to execute pursuant to this Agreement to vest, secure, perfect, protect or enforce the rights and interests of Purchaser in and to the Purchased Assets, Seller hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Purchaser and its duly authorized officers and agents as Seller’s agents and attorneys-in-fact, to act for and on its behalf (and in place of Seller), to execute and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Agreement with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Seller.

Section 1.15 Back-up License. If Seller retains any right or interest in any Purchased Intellectual Property that cannot be, or for any reason is not, assigned to Purchaser on the Closing Date, Seller hereby grants, and agrees to grant and cause to be granted, to Purchaser, as of the Closing Date, a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free and fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), exclusive, worldwide right and license to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform (publicly or otherwise), prepare derivative works of and otherwise modify, make, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise exploit and commercialize, and exercise and practice all rights in, to and under the Purchased Intellectual Property.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall terminate upon the Closing, and thereafter, other than with respect to any Fraud or willful misconduct, there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of, nor shall any claim be made by, any Party or any of their respective Affiliates in respect thereof, in connection therewith or related thereto. The covenants and other agreements set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until fully performed in accordance with this Agreement, except for the covenants under Section 7.13, which shall survive indefinitely. The Parties intend for the survival periods in this Section 9.1 to supersede the statute of limitations otherwise applicable to such representations, warranties and covenants. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of Purchaser to issue the Consideration Shares shall survive the Closing.

Section 9.2 Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing, subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, Seller shall indemnify and defend Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Purchaser Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect or by reason of: (a) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, (c) the operation of the Business on or prior to the Closing Date, (d) any claim for Fraud or willful misconduct against Seller or (e) any Third-Party Claim involving any of the foregoing.

Section 9.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. From and after the Closing, subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, Purchaser shall indemnify and defend Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect or by reason of: (a) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any Assumed Liability, (c) any claim for Fraud or willful misconduct against Purchaser, or (d) any Third-Party Claim involving any of the foregoing.

Section 9.4 Limitations. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 shall be net of (i) any amounts recovered by an Indemnitee (net of any costs of investigation of the underlying claim and of collection) pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any Person (other than this Agreement), and (ii) any insurance proceeds, net of any costs of investigation of the underlying claim, costs of collection and the actual increase in insurance premiums attributable to such recovery under such insurance policies, received by the applicable Indemnitee as an offset against such Losses (each source of recovery referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Collateral Source”). If the amount to be netted hereunder in connection with a Collateral Source from any payment required under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 is received after payment by any indemnifying party hereunder (an “Indemnifying Party”) of any amount otherwise required to be paid to the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, the Indemnitee shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such receipt, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 had such receipt occurred at the time of such payment. Each Indemnitee acknowledges its common law duty to mitigate damages.

Section 9.5 Procedures for Indemnification. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of written notice of the assertion or the commencement of any Action by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to any matter referred to in Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, the applicable Indemnitee shall give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, which notice shall include a description of the Action, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis for the Action, and thereafter shall keep the applicable Indemnifying Party reasonably informed with respect thereto; provided, that failure of the applicable Indemnitee to give the Indemnifying Party notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. Thereafter, the applicable Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly following the

Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee to the extent relating to the Third-Party Claim and reasonably necessary to the Indemnifying Party’s analysis thereof. A claim for indemnification by an Indemnitee for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control the defense and handling, and settle or compromise, of any Third-Party Claim at its sole expense; provided, that the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Action giving rise to its claim for indemnification at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, and at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below) by appointing a counsel reasonably acceptable to the applicable Indemnitee to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided, that:

(a) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee (other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party, and except that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all of the fees and expenses of such separate counsel if a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee);

(b) the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnitee) and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee if (i) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Indemnitee reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Action giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnitee’s reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnitee; (iii) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee; (iv) a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee; (v) upon written notice from the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim with reasonable detail of the Indemnitee’s good faith justifications for such determination; and

(c) if the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim.

Section 9.6 Exclusive Remedy. Other than in the case of Fraud or willful misconduct, or as expressly set forth in any other Transaction Document, each Party acknowledges and agrees that the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to this Agreement or any document, certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, it being agreed that nothing herein shall limit or impair any Party’s right to obtain specific performance or other non-monetary injunctive relief with respect to this Agreement or any document, certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith.

Section 9.7 Nature of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payment made by Seller pursuant to this Article IX shall be deemed by the Parties as an adjustment to the consideration paid by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 9.8 Purchaser Acknowledgement. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in Article III (as modified by Disclosure Schedules) or in the certificate delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(x), neither Seller nor any of its Representatives nor any other Person acting on Seller’s behalf makes or has made, any representation or warranty of any kind, nature or description, express or implied, including any warranty of title, merchantability or fitness of any Purchased Assets for a particular purpose or with respect to the future operational performance of the Purchased Assets or Business Services.

Section 9.9 Waiver. Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action which Purchaser may have against Seller, Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective managers, officers, directors, employees or successors arising out of, resulting from or relating to any breaches of representations and warranties contained in Article III of this Agreement; provided, however, that such waiver shall not limit the liability of a Person for a claim for Fraud or willful misconduct against such Person.

The Seller Obligations shall include Seller’s obligation to satisfy all obligations of Seller arising in connection with this Agreement, in each case, when and to the extent that, any of the same shall become due and payable or performance of, or compliance with, any of the same shall be required. Seller Parent hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Seller Parent Guaranty constitutes an absolute, present, primary, continuing and unconditional guaranty of performance and not of collection only, and compliance by Seller of the Seller Obligations when required and otherwise due under this Agreement is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to enforce such performance, compliance or payment by a guaranteed party upon any other condition or contingency. Seller Parent hereby waives any right to require a proceeding first against Seller. The Seller Obligations shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than by indefeasible payment or performance in full of the Seller Obligations) and shall not be subject to any discharge of Seller from any of the Seller Obligations in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding (except by indefeasible payment or performance in full of the Seller Obligations). The Seller Parent Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any such obligation or liability is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Seller, any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise.

(b) Seller Parent represents and warrants that: (i) it is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the applicable Laws of the State of Delaware and has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Seller Parent Guaranty; (ii) the execution and delivery by Seller Parent of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary corporate action required of Seller Parent and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Seller Parent are necessary to authorize this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; and (iii) this Agreement has been, and when executed, each of the other Transaction Documents to which Seller Parent is a party will be duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller Parent (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party hereto and thereto), subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally or to general principles of equity.

(c) Seller Parent hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Seller and any successor thereof to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any claim by or before any Governmental Authority arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
