(b)    Responsibility. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall, at its sole expense, take over and assume exclusive responsibility for further prosecution, maintenance, enforcement, licensing and defense of the Assigned Patents, and while this Section 2.4(b) shall not impose any obligation on Seller or any of its Affiliates to participate in any such prosecution, maintenance, enforcement, licensing or defense, if Seller or any of its Affiliates elects to (at Purchaser’s request) or is required to participate, then in connection with such participation, Purchaser shall bear all reasonable expenses arising therefrom and Seller shall have the right to select its own legal representation.

3.1    Payment.

(a)    At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the Closing Payment, without offset of any kind, in cash or immediately available funds wired to an account specified by Seller and set forth in Exhibit H.

(b)    At the Closing, Purchaser and/or the Guarantors, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall enter into the Transaction Documents to which such Person is party, including the Promissory Note, the Note Guarantee and the Security Agreement.

(c)    All payments of any portion of the Purchase Price or other amounts payable to Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for any tax, except as required by applicable Law. To the extent amounts payable to Seller are subject to withholding or deduction for any tax pursuant to applicable Law, Purchaser and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall (after giving reasonable notice to Seller and cooperating with Seller to obtain any available exemptions or reliefs) be entitled to make the required withholding, but, except in the case of withholding imposed under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended) (which shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller), the amount paid by Purchaser or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after making all required withholdings or deductions, Seller receives an amount equal to the payment that would have been received had no such withholdings or deductions been required.

3.2    Purchase Price Adjustment. The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing as set forth below:

(a)    The Parties agree that the purpose of the adjustment contemplated by this Section 3.2 is to (i) compensate Seller for payments of certain costs relating to the Assigned Patent Rights, and (ii) to provide Purchaser with an adjustment to reflect any revenue received by Seller with respect to Assigned Assets, in each case, during the period between the Effective Date and the Closing Date (collectively, the “Adjustment Amount”), in each case, as more fully described in Exhibit I.

(b)    As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 60 days, after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Seller’s good faith calculation of the Adjustment Amount Payable by Purchaser or the Adjustment Amount Payable by Seller, as applicable (in each case as defined in Exhibit I), which shall be determined as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific time on the Closing Date and take into account, and set forth as separate line items, all provisions establishing the basis for such calculation, in each case together with supporting documentation used by Seller in calculating such amounts. The Closing Statement (including the calculations therein) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Exhibit I.

(c)    From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, on reasonable prior notice to Seller, (i) provide Purchaser and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records and work papers of the Seller and/or its Affiliates, and (ii) cooperate with and assist Purchaser and its representatives in connection with the review of such materials, including by making available its employees, accountants and other personnel to the extent reasonably requested, in each case in connection Purchaser’s review of the Closing Statement and subject to third-party confidentiality obligations.

(d)    If Purchaser has any objections to the Closing Statement or any of the amounts included in the calculation of the Adjustment Amount set forth therein, it shall deliver to Seller a written statement (a “Notice of Objection”) setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement (including the specific items in the Closing Statement that are in dispute and the nature and amount of any disagreement so identified) not later than

60 days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Closing Statement (such 60-day period, the “Review Period”); provided, however, that such 60-day period shall toll during any time that Seller or any of its Affiliates fail to comply in all material respects with Section 3.2(c). If Purchaser fails to deliver a Notice of Objection within the Review Period (or applicable later date if such period is tolled), the Closing Statement and the Adjustment Amount set forth therein shall be deemed to have been accepted by Purchaser and shall be deemed final and binding upon all of the Parties. If Purchaser delivers a Notice of Objection to Seller within the Review Period, Seller and Purchaser shall work in good faith to resolve the Purchaser’s objections within the 30-day period following the delivery of the Notice of Objection.

(e)    If the Final Closing Statement sets forth an Adjustment Amount Payable by Purchaser (as defined in Exhibit I), then Purchaser (or an Affiliate designated by Purchaser) shall pay in cash to Seller the Adjustment Amount as reflected in the Final Closing Statement. If the Final Closing Statement sets forth an Adjustment Amount Payable by Seller (as defined in Exhibit I), then Seller (or an Affiliate designated by Seller) shall pay in cash to Purchaser the Adjustment Amount as reflected in the Final Closing Statement. Any Purchase Price adjustment payable under this Section 3.2(e) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, on or prior to the 5th business day after the determination of the Final Closing Statement pursuant to this Section 3.2. Without limiting the remedies available for any failure to pay the Adjustment Amount within the 5 business days provided in this Section 3.2(e), any payment due and not timely paid in accordance with this Section 3.2(e) shall accrue interest at the rate of 6% per annum (the “Interest Rate”) from the Final Closing Statement Date until the date of payment.

(f)    In the event that Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve in writing any of the Purchaser’s objections in the Notice of Objection within the 30-day period (or such longer period as may be agreed by Seller and Purchaser) following the delivery of a Notice of Objection, the resolution of all unresolved items (“Disputed Items”) shall be submitted to an arbiter that is a nationally-recognized accounting firm to be mutually selected by Purchaser and Seller to resolve any remaining disagreements. If (i) such mutually selected arbiter is not willing and able to serve in such capacity or (ii) Purchaser and Seller otherwise fail to appoint an arbiter pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence within 10 business days after the expiration of the resolution period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a list of 3 other arbiters of recognized national standing and Seller shall select one of such 3 arbiters (such arbiter as is ultimately selected pursuant to the aforementioned procedures being the “Arbiter”). Purchaser and Seller shall execute any agreement reasonably required by the Arbiter for its engagement hereunder. Purchaser and Seller shall, promptly (but in any event within 10 business days) following the formal engagement of the Arbiter, provide the Arbiter (copying the other upon submission) with a single written presentation setting forth its respective calculations of and assertions regarding the Disputed Items. Upon receipt of the other Party’s presentation, Purchaser and Seller shall be entitled (no later than 5 business days following such receipt) to submit to the Arbiter a single written response to such other Party’s initial submission setting forth such Party’s objections or rebuttals to the calculations and/or assertions set forth in such initial submission (which responses the Arbiter shall promptly distribute to the other applicable Party). The Arbiter shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to such disagreements as soon as reasonably practicable (which the Parties agree shall not be later than 45 days following the formal engagement of the Arbiter). The adjustment is not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purposes of determining the Adjustment Amount, and the Arbiter shall not conduct an independent investigation but shall instead base its determination on the written submissions of the Parties delivered pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 3.2(f) with respect to the Disputed Items. The determination of the Arbiter, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, with respect to any such disagreements shall be binding and final for purposes of this Agreement. The term “Final Closing Statement” as used in this Agreement shall mean the Closing Statement that is deemed final in accordance with Section 3.2(d) or the Closing Statement resulting from the

determinations made by the Arbiter in accordance with this Section 3.2(f), as applicable (the date that the Closing Statement is deemed to be the Final Closing Statement, the “Final Closing Statement Date”).

(g)    The Arbiter shall allocate its costs and expenses between Purchaser and Seller based on the percentage of the aggregate contested amount submitted to the Arbiter that is ultimately awarded to Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, such that Purchaser bears a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to Seller and Seller bears a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to Purchaser.

3.3    Transfer Taxes.

(a)    Subject to Section 3.3(b), any and all Transfer Taxes levied as a result of the sale and transfer of the Assigned Assets contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the Purchaser and paid, to the extent payable, in addition to the Purchase Price, by Purchaser to Seller when due under applicable Law.

(b)    Provided that Purchaser maintains its Non-Resident Non-Registered Status and its representations and warranties in Section 7.9 are true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing, and that such status is substantiated in the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit K, no ETA Tax shall be payable by Purchaser to the Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that it is determined by a Governmental Entity that there is a Liability of Purchaser to pay, or of Seller to collect or remit any ETA Taxes or any penalties or interest related thereto in respect of the sale of the Assigned Assets under this Agreement, Purchaser shall be liable for and shall pay forthwith any such ETA Taxes and any penalties or interest related thereto and shall indemnify and hold the Seller harmless in respect of such ETA Taxes, including any penalties, interest, costs and damages suffered by the Seller in connection therewith.

3.4    Additional Tax Matters.

(a)    The Parties agree that, upon the written request of Seller, if available, the elections under section 22, subsection 20(24), and/or paragraph 56.4(7)(g) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any applicable provincial equivalent shall be jointly made.

(b)    Subject to Section 3.4(c), each Party shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, each at its own expense, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and in such manner as is reasonably practicable, such information or documentation in its possession (or the possession of its Affiliates), and shall provide, or cause to be provided, any assistance and explanations of any material provided, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as is (in each case) reasonably necessary for the filing of any tax returns, for the claim or application for any relief, for the claim of any tax credit, refund or similar payment, for the preparation of any audit and for the prosecution or defense of any claim or relating to any adjustment or proposed adjustment with respect to taxes.

(c)    Section 3.4(b) shall not oblige any Party to release any information or document that it reasonably considers confidential, or otherwise do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law, regulation, fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality.

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, subject to Section 1.3, Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:

6.1    Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Seller is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Seller, together with the Transferring Affiliate, has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to carry on its patent licensing business as presently conducted. Each of Seller and the Transferring Affiliate is qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation or other legal entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of such business conducted by it requires such qualification, except, in each case, where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.5    Financial Ability to Perform.

(a)    Purchaser has delivered to Seller true and complete copies of the fully executed Term Loan Agreement entered into by Aon Securities LLC, as agent for certain lenders (collectively and together with any additional or replacement Person(s) providing the Debt Financing under Credit Facility Documents pursuant to Section 8.7, the “Debt Financing Sources”, and together with the Equity Financing Sources, the “Financing Sources”), and Purchaser, in effect as of the date hereof (the “Term Loan Agreement”), together with the fee letters associated therewith (which fee letters may be redacted as described below), and shall within 30 days after the date hereof deliver to Seller true and complete copies of all exhibits, schedules and annexes attached to or associated with the Term Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Debt Financing Sources have committed to provide, subject only to the terms and conditions expressly set forth in the Credit Facility Documents, cash in the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”) for the purposes of consummating the transactions contemplated hereby. A true and complete copy of each fee letter and engagement letter related to the Credit Facility Documents as in effect on the date hereof has been provided to Seller, except that the fees and other commercially sensitive information therein (including provisions in such fee letter related solely to fees, “flex” terms, “securities demand” terms and economic terms) may have been redacted; provided, however, that no redacted term provides that the aggregate amount or net cash proceeds of the Debt Financing set forth in the unredacted portion of the Credit Facility Documents could be reduced or adds or modifies any conditions or contingencies or that affect the availability of all or any portion of the Debt Financing or the enforceability of the Credit Facility Documents.

(b)    As of the date of this Agreement, the Credit Facility Documents are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn, rescinded or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified in any respect (and no such withdrawal, rescission, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by Purchaser or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, the other parties thereto) and are a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, the other parties thereto, enforceable against Purchaser and such other parties in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of any applicable Remedies Exception. There are no other written or oral agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Credit Facility Documents furnished to Seller pursuant to Section 7.5(a), including any arrangement that affects the availability or conditions of the Financing contemplated by the Credit Facility Documents and the Equity Commitment Letters. As of the date hereof, Purchaser is not in breach of the Credit Facility Documents, and as of the Closing, Purchaser shall not be in breach of the Credit Facility

Documents or the Equity Commitment Letters. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, any other Person, under any term or condition of the Credit Facility Documents or the Equity Commitment Letters, and Purchaser does not have any reason to believe that any condition to the availability or funding of the Financing will not be satisfied on a timely basis, or that the Financing shall not be available to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Purchaser has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees or amounts required by the Credit Facility Documents or the Equity Commitment Letters to be paid (x) on or before the date of this Agreement (in the case of the Credit Facility Documents) and (y) at or before the Closing (in the case of the Credit Facility Documents or the Equity Commitment Letters). The aggregate proceeds from the Financing (after netting out applicable fees, expenses, original issue discount and similar premiums and charges and after giving effect to the maximum amount of flex), when funded in accordance with the Credit Facility Documents and the Equity Commitment Letters, on the Closing Date shall be sufficient for satisfaction of all of Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ payment obligations under this Agreement to consummate the transactions, including the payment of the Closing Payment, and the payment of all associated fees, costs and expenses that are payable by Purchaser. The non-redacted portion of the Credit Facility Documents contain all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties thereunder to make the full amount of the Financing available to Purchaser on the terms set forth therein.

(c)    Notwithstanding this Section 7.5 or any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the receipt by or the availability of any funds or financing to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any other financing be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.6    Solvency. Immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby (including the consummation and funding of the Financing), each of Purchaser and the Guarantors will not (a) be insolvent (either because its financial condition is such that the sum of its debts is greater than the fair value of its assets or because the fair salable value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they mature), (b) in the case of the Guarantors, have an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business in the ordinary course or (c) have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay as they become due. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred in connection with completing the transactions contemplated hereby with the intent by Purchaser or its Affiliates to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditors of Purchaser or the Guarantors or their respective Affiliates.

7.7    Litigation; Governmental Orders. As of the date of this Agreement, to the knowledge of Purchaser, there are no Actions pending or threatened against Purchaser or the Guarantors that would, if adversely determined: (a) materially and adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which Purchaser, the Guarantors or any of its Affiliates is or will be a party; or (b) individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. As of the date of this Agreement, to the knowledge of Purchaser, neither Purchaser nor the Guarantors is a party to or subject to the provisions of any Governmental Order that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.11    Anti-Money Laundering; Anti-Bribery and Sanctions. Purchaser and its Affiliates have not taken any action or acted in any way in connection with the negotiation, execution or implementation of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby (including the use of funds in connection therewith) that may reasonably be expected to be in violation of any applicable Laws relating to: (a) anti-money laundering, (c) anti-bribery, anti-kickback or anti-corruption, (c) anti-terrorism, or (d) any sanctions or sanctions regime in Canada, the United States (including the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, or any other relevant sanctions authority or Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Seller, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates (each, a “Sanctions Authority”, and such sanctions or sanctions regimes, collectively, “Sanctions”). None of (x) Purchaser, its Affiliates, or any Person that directly or indirectly holds equity interests in Purchaser or its Affiliates, or (y) to Purchaser’s knowledge after due inquiry, any director, officer, broker, agent, employee of the Persons described in clause (x) (or any other Person acting on their behalf) is currently subject to any Sanctions or on any lists of sanctioned or potentially exposed persons administered or published by any Sanctions Authority. None of the Persons described in clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence is located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject or target of Sanctions.

its Affiliates. Purchaser shall promptly, upon request, reimburse Seller and its Affiliates and representatives for all out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with any cooperation provided under this Section 8.2.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a breach by Seller or its Affiliates of their obligations under this Section 8.2 shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or a breach for purposes of Article IV or Article V unless such breach is a willful and intentional breach and directly results in the Financing not being available to Purchaser.

8.3    Non-Assert. [Redacted – commercially sensitive information]

8.4    Key Employees.

(a)    Subject to Seller’s prior written consent, Purchaser may after the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, following consultation with Seller, offer employment to any of the employees (i) who are employed by Seller and/or its applicable Affiliates in Canada or the United States and engaged in intellectual property and patent licensing activities carried on by Seller or the Transferring Affiliate (“IP&L Employees”) and (ii) identified on Exhibit J (each such employee, a “Key Employee”); provided, that such employment shall be offered on terms no less favorable on the whole than the terms of each such Key Employee’s current employment with Seller or its Affiliates, including recognition of prior service with Seller or its Affiliates, and Seller will provide reasonable cooperation with the foregoing.

(b)    With respect to any Key Employees employed by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates following the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, for 1 year following the date of this Agreement, encourage, induce, attempt to induce, solicit or attempt to solicit (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Person) any such employees of Purchaser or its Affiliates to leave his or her employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates; provided, that Seller shall not be restricted from (i) making a general solicitation that is not targeted specifically to any employee of Purchaser, (ii) responding to any employee of Purchaser who contacts Seller at his or her own initiative, without the prior direct or indirect encouragement or solicitation by Seller or (iii) hiring employees of Purchaser who are referred to Seller by search firms or employment agencies or similar entities so long as such entities have not been instructed by the Seller to solicit any employee of Purchaser.

(c)    With respect to any other IP&L Employees, none of Purchaser, the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, before the first anniversary of the date hereof, encourage, induce, attempt to induce, solicit or attempt to solicit (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Person) any such individual to leave his or her employment with Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided, that Purchaser shall not be restricted from (i) making a general solicitation that is not targeted specifically to any such IP&L Employee, (ii) responding to any such IP&L Employee who contacts the Purchaser at his or her own initiative, without the prior direct or indirect encouragement or solicitation by the Purchaser or (iii) hiring such IP&L Employees who are referred to the Purchaser by search firms or employment agencies or similar entities so long as such entities have not been instructed by the Purchaser to solicit any such IP&L Employees.

8.5    Misallocated Assets. In the event that either Seller or Purchaser becomes aware that (a) record or beneficial ownership or possession of any asset that is an Assigned Asset has not been sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered by Seller or its Affiliates to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates at the Closing, or that any Assumed Liability has not been assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, or (b) record or beneficial ownership or possession of any asset that is not an Assigned Asset has been sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered by Seller or its Affiliates to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates at the Closing, or that any Excluded Liability has been erroneously assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, then it shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties shall thereafter reasonably cooperate to, as promptly as practicable and subject to the receipt of any applicable Consents, (x) sell, convey, transfer, assign

and deliver (or cause to be sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered) the relevant asset to, as the case may be, Purchaser or its designated Affiliate, or Seller or its designated Affiliate, or (y) cause the relevant Liability to be assumed by Purchaser or its designated Affiliate, or Seller or its designated Affiliate, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to this Agreement or any other applicable Transaction Document.

8.6    Regulatory Approvals. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement and any other Transaction Document (including under Section 2.4(a)):

(a)    with respect to the Regulatory Approvals and any other process submissions to, before, or assessment, inquiry, review or investigation by, a Governmental Entity under any Law (collectively, a “Governmental Process”), each Party agrees to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents as soon as reasonably practicable, including (i) cooperating fully with the other Parties in respect of a Governmental Process, including by (A) promptly providing such other Parties with a copy of any written communication received by a Governmental Entity or promptly notifying them of any verbal communication received from a Governmental Entity, (B) providing such other Parties with a reasonable opportunity to review any information, submission, filing, undertakings or other documentation prior to it being provided to a Governmental Entity and considering in good faith any comments received, (C) providing such other Parties with a final copy of any information, submission, filing, undertakings or other documentation that is provided to a Governmental Entity and (D) if and to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Entity, providing such other Parties and their external counsel with a reasonable opportunity to attend any telephonic or in-person meeting with a Governmental Entity, (ii) cooperating fully with the other Parties in promptly seeking to obtain or eliminate any Governmental Order (including Purchaser agreeing to and implementing any divestures required by any Governmental Entity), (iii) responding promptly to any requests for information made by a Governmental Entity, and preparing and filing as promptly as practicable documentation in connection with clause (ii) hereof and (iv) providing such other information to any Governmental Entity as such Governmental Entity may reasonably request in connection herewith; provided, that Purchaser shall not be required commit to, effect or accept any action pursuant to this Section 8.6(a) if any such action, individually or collectively, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (which term, solely for the purposes of this Section 8.6(a), shall be defined to exclude clause (y) in the definition of “Material Adverse Effect”).  In addition and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall not be required commit to, effect or accept any action pursuant to this Section 8.6(a) that would or may apply to any of Seller’s assets or operations;

under subsection 25.3(1) of the Investment Canada Act, Purchaser shall offer any undertakings or other mitigation, and shall agree to any terms and conditions either requested by a Governmental Entity or that is otherwise necessary to address any concerns raised by a Governmental Entity so as to eliminate a Governmental Order in order that Closing can occur as promptly as practicable; provided however, that the Purchaser will not be required to make or agree to any undertaking, mitigation, agreement or action where such undertaking, mitigation, agreement or action would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (which term, solely for the purposes of this Section 8.6(b), shall be defined to exclude clause (y) in the definition of “Material Adverse Effect”); and (vi) notwithstanding any requirement or right in the foregoing Section 8.6(a) or this Section 8.6(b), Purchaser shall not consent to the extension by any Governmental Entity of any waiting period in connection with obtaining or satisfying the Regulatory Approvals without Seller’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that Seller shall not be obligated to approve any such extension that would be reasonably expected to result in failure of the Parties to consummate, by the applicable Termination Date under Section 5.1(b), the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(c)    notwithstanding this Section 8.6 or any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the failure to receive any Consents (except for the Regulatory Approvals) be taken into account with respect to whether any conditions to the Closing set forth in Article IV shall have been satisfied and no representation or warranty of Seller shall be breached or deemed breached as a result thereof other than those set forth in Section 4.1(a)(ii).

8.7    Financing.

(a)    Purchaser shall (x) as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and subject to and in accordance with Section 8.7(c), deliver to Seller fully executed, valid and binding equity commitment letters from the Equity Financing Sources to Purchaser (the “Equity Commitment Letters”) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller, pursuant to which the Equity Financing Sources have (A) committed to provide, subject only to the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein, the amount of cash financing set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”), and (B) provided that Seller is an express third-party beneficiary thereto, and is entitled to specific performance of Purchaser’s right to cause the Financing to be funded thereunder (but in such case only as and to the extent permitted pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Equity Commitment Letters and, in connection therewith, Seller has the right to an injunction, or other appropriate form of specific performance or relief, and to cause Purchaser to cause, or to directly cause, the Equity Financing Sources to fund, directly or indirectly, the Equity Financing as, and to the extent permitted by, the Equity Commitment Letters, (y) increase the amount available to be drawn by Purchaser under the Credit Facility Documents to $450 million in the aggregate and deliver to Seller all documents and instruments requested by Seller to confirm such increase and to confirm that the Credit Facility Documents remain valid and binding on the Debt Financing Sources, and (z) use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, as promptly as possible, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Credit Facility Documents and the Equity Commitment Letters on or prior to the Closing Date, including maintaining in effect the Credit Facility Documents and the Equity Commitment Letters and using reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as possible, (i) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis, or obtain a waiver of, all conditions precedent in the Credit Facility Documents and the Equity Commitment Letters, (ii) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, including if all of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1(a) and Section 4.1(c) have been satisfied using reasonable best efforts to cause the Persons providing the Financing to fund at the Closing, (iii) enforce its rights under the Credit Facility Documents and the Equity Commitment Letters and (iv) comply with its obligations under the Credit Facility Documents and the Equity Commitment Letters.

(b)    Purchaser shall (i) keep Seller informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and (ii) provide Seller with copies of the Term Loan Agreement and all other definitive agreements and other material documents related to the Debt Financing (collectively, the “Credit Facility Documents”) and all material documents related to the Equity Financing, including copies of the fully executed Equity Commitment Letters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall give Seller prompt (and in any event within 48 hours) written notice (A) of any material breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to result in a material breach or default) by Purchaser, or to the knowledge of Purchaser, any party to any Credit Facility Document or Equity Commitment Letter or other definitive agreements with respect thereto, (B) if and when Purchaser receives notice that any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Credit Facility Documents or the Equity Commitment Letters is not reasonably expected to be available for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated hereby, (C) of the receipt of any oral or written notice or other communication from any party to a Credit Facility Document or Equity Commitment Letter with respect to any actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to a Credit Facility Document or Equity Commitment Letter or dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Credit Facility Document (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing or Credit Facility Documents) and (D) of any expiration or termination of any Credit Facility Document or Equity Commitment Letter.

(c)    Purchaser shall not, (x) without Seller’s prior written consent as to the form of the Equity Commitment Letter and the Equity Financing Source, enter into an Equity Commitment Letter with any prospective Equity Financing Source (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Guarantors), or add or replace (or permit or consent to the addition or replacement of) any Equity Financing Source under any new or existing Equity Commitment Letter (Seller’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld), or (y) without Seller’s prior written consent, permit or consent to any amendment, supplement or modification to be made to any Credit Facility Document or Equity Commitment Letter if such amendment, supplement or modification would or could reasonably be expected to directly or indirectly (i) impair, delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) reduce (or could have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing, (iii) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing or (iv) otherwise materially adversely affect the ability of Purchaser to timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or materially adversely impact the ability of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, to enforce their rights against the other parties to the Credit Facility Documents or the Equity Commitment Letters (including any right to seek or obtain specific performance of the Credit Facility Documents or the Equity Commitment Letters); provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser may amend, supplement, modify or waive any terms of the Credit Facility Documents without the consent of Seller in order to (A) correct typographical errors or (B) add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities of similar credit quality (by assignment or otherwise) subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in the Credit Facility Documents. Purchaser shall promptly furnish to Seller true and complete copies of any amendment, replacement, supplement, modification, consent or waiver relating to any Credit Facility Document or Equity Commitment Letter (with any fee letter being redacted in the same manner as permitted by Section 7.5(a)).

(d)    In the event of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to make all or any portion of the Debt Financing unavailable on the terms and conditions in the Credit Facility Documents (any such event or circumstance, a “Financing Failure Event”), Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain, or cause to be obtained, alternative financing, including from alternative sources, in an amount sufficient to replace any unavailable portion of the Financing (“Alternative Financing”) as promptly as

practicable following the occurrence of such Financing Failure Event, (i) on (A) economic terms taken as a whole and (B) other terms, in each case, that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Purchaser than the terms of the Credit Facility Documents, and (ii) containing conditions to draw, conditions to closing and other terms that could reasonably be expected to affect the availability thereof that (A) are not more onerous in any respect than those conditions and terms contained in the Credit Facility Documents and related fee letters and (B) could not reasonably be expected to delay the Closing or make the Closing materially less likely to occur. The provisions of this Section 8.7 shall be applicable to the Alternative Financing, and, for the purposes of this Section 8.7, Section 7.5 and Section 8.2, all references to the Financing shall be deemed to include such Alternative Financing, all references to Credit Facility Documents shall include the applicable documents for the Alternative Financing, and all references to the Debt Financing Sources shall include the Persons providing or arranging the Alternative Financing. In the event Purchaser has obtained substitute financing, the proceeds of which are received on the Closing Date and which amount substitutes an equivalent portion of the Debt Financing, for the purposes of Section 7.5(b), all references to the Financing shall be deemed to include such substitute financing.

(e)    Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the failure of any of the conditions contained in the Credit Facility Documents or the Equity Commitment Letters. Without limiting the applicability of the foregoing sentence, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, pay and discharge as and when due and payable any and all fees, costs, charges, amounts and expenses related to the Financing so that the Financing will be available to Purchaser at Closing.

(f)    Purchaser shall cause the Financing Sources and their respective Affiliates to take all actions, and to do all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Promissory Note or any other applicable Transaction Documents, including any actions required to be taken by Purchaser under Section 8.6 and clauses (g) and (h) of this Section 8.7.

(g)    Purchaser and Seller shall (and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to) use their respective reasonable best efforts to negotiate in good faith the Promissory Note Guarantee and the Security Agreement, in each case, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement.

(h)    Purchaser shall (and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to), at its sole expense, use reasonable commercial efforts to procure (including by obtaining additional equity commitments to finance any expenses incurred in procuring): (i) binding commitments for the Qualified Insurance Policy in an aggregate amount of not less than (A) $25,000,000 by the Closing Date and (B) $75,000,000 by the first anniversary of the Closing; and (ii) the Qualified Insurance Policy at least three business days prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date in an amount sufficient to cover 90% of the amount then outstanding under the Promissory Note and to maintain such Rollover Insurance until all outstanding amounts under the Promissory Note are repaid in full; provided, that nothing in the foregoing shall require Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates to agree to pay the carrier(s) under the Qualified Insurance Policy more than (x) $2,500,000 on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) $7,500,000 on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (z) $13,500,000 following the second anniversary of the Closing Date, in each case, in the aggregate in premiums and fees during any applicable policy year.

(i)    Purchaser shall be responsible for paying all amounts necessary to procure and maintain the Qualified Insurance Policy, including payment of all premiums incurred or payable with respect to such Qualified Insurance Policy until the time that all amounts outstanding under the Promissory Note are paid in full. The foregoing obligation of Purchaser shall apply as well to any amounts incurred or paid by Seller or any of its Affiliates to procure or maintain such coverage in the event that Purchaser shall fail or be delayed in doing so, and Purchaser agrees that any amounts paid by Seller in procuring or maintaining

Qualified Insurance Policy shall be promptly reimbursed by Purchaser (and in any case, within 30 days of a written request by Seller for reimbursement).

9.1    Survival.  Each representation, warranty and covenant contained in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, but only until the applicable survival date specified in this Section 9.1, whereupon it shall terminate:

(a)    The survival date applicable to the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (except for the Title and Subsistence Representations) shall be the 15-month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Article IX with respect to (i) any claims arising out of a breach of the Title and Subsistence Representations shall survive for 3 years following the Closing, and (ii) any claims arising out of a breach of Section 6.14 hereof shall survive 2 years following the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any representation and warranty as to which any Claim is pending as of the applicable date described in the first sentence of this subparagraph (a), such representation and warranty will survive until the final resolution of such Claim.

(b)    The survival date applicable to the covenants contained in this Agreement to be performed by their terms (i) prior to the Closing, shall be the earlier of the Closing Date or the Termination Date, and (ii) on or after the Closing Date, shall survive the Closing and continue in effect and expire pursuant to their respective terms.

(c)    No Party shall have any Liability to any Person with respect to any provision of this Agreement or the subject matter thereof following the applicable survival date specified in this Section 9.1, which applicable survival date supersedes any statute of limitations that would otherwise apply, and no Party may thereafter assert any claim, cause of action, right or remedy, or any Action, with respect to such provision or the subject matter thereof.

(d)    No provision in this Article IX shall apply or limit a claim that a Party committed actual fraud in the making of any representations and warranties contained in Article VI and Article VII of this Agreement, which may be brought at any time until the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations.

9.2    Indemnification by Seller.

(a)    Subject to the limitations in this Article IX, effective as of and after the Closing, Purchaser, its Affiliates, their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, consultants, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors and representatives, and their respective successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless for, from and against any and all Losses actually incurred or suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of or arising from (i) the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article VI existing at the Closing, (ii) the breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement and (iii) the breach of any Assigned Contracts by Seller or its applicable Affiliate party thereto to the extent that such breach occurred prior to the Closing (provided, that the obligations under this Section 9.2(a)(iii) shall not be subject to any limitations or restrictions set forth in this Article IX).

(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification provided for in Section 9.2(a)(i) and Section 9.2(a)(ii) with respect to breaches of the covenants contained in Section 8.1 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i)    The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified or held harmless in respect of any Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 9.2(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of such Losses equals or exceeds $5,000,000.00 (the “Threshold”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (as a group) shall be entitled to recover all Losses regardless of the Threshold, subject to Section 9.2(b)(ii) and Section 9.2(b)(iii) below;

(ii)    The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified or held harmless in respect of any Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 9.2(a)(i) with respect to breaches of representations and warranties or Section 9.2(a)(ii) with respect to breaches of the covenants contained in Section 8.1 that arise from any individual item, occurrence, circumstance, act or omission (or series of related items, occurrences, circumstances, acts or omissions) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses resulting therefrom exceeds $200,000.00 (the “Per Claim Amount”), nor shall any Losses excluded pursuant to this clause (ii) be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the Cap or the General Cap, as applicable, or the Threshold has been exceeded in respect of claims made by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties;

(iii)    (A) Seller’s aggregate liability for Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to any claims arising out of a breach of the Title and Subsistence Representations) and Section 9.2(a)(ii) with respect to breaches of the covenants contained in Section 8.1 shall in no event exceed $55,000,000.00 (the “General Cap”); and (B) with respect to breaches of the Title and Subsistence Representations, Seller’s aggregate liability for Losses shall be increased to $300,000,000.00 (the “Cap”, which shall qualify the General Cap with respect to breaches of the Title and Subsistence Representations and not be in addition to the General Cap for any Claim or purpose other than breaches of the Title and Subsistence Representations); provided, however, if and after the aggregate amount of Losses subject to this Section 9.2(b)(iii)(B) exceeds $225,000,000.00, any additional Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 9.2(a)(i) with respect to breaches of the Title and Subsistence Representations shall be set off against the outstanding principal amount under the Promissory Note, and such right of set-off shall, subject to Section 9.8, be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to such additional Losses.

(iv)    Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.2, the Parties agree that calculation of Losses recoverable by any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to any breach of representations and warranties that such Purchaser Indemnified Party contends has resulted in Losses with respect to one or more Assigned Patents (any such Losses, “Patent Losses”) shall take into account the impact of such breach on the expected value of such affected Assigned Patents relative to the expected value of the Assigned Patents as a whole; wherein (x) the expected value of the Assigned Patents as a whole is deemed to be the Purchase Price and (y) the expected value of such affected Assigned Patents is deemed to be that portion of the Purchase Price reasonably allocable to such Assigned Patents before taking into account the impact of such breach (but, for clarity, after taking into account all Existing Encumbrances and Permitted Encumbrances); provided, that, with respect to any Patent Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties would recover under Article IX, 25% of such Patent Losses shall be set off against the outstanding principal amount under the Promissory Note, and such right of set-off shall, except for claims of actual fraud, be the sole

and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to such portion.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of this Article IX only, each representation and warranty made by the Seller contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be made without any qualification or limitation as to materiality (including any qualification or limitation made by reference to a “material” or “Material Adverse Effect”) and, without limiting the foregoing, the words “material” and “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import shall be deemed deleted from any such representation or warranty.

(a)    Subject to the limitations in this Article IX, effective as of and after the Closing, Seller, its Affiliates, their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, consultants, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors and representatives, and their respective successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless for, from and against any and all (i) Losses actually incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or arising from the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article VII existing at the Closing, (ii) Losses actually incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or arising from the breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, and (iii) Assumed Liability except to the extent covered under Section 9.2(a)(iii) (provided, that the obligations under this Section 9.3(a)(iii) shall not be subject to any limitations or restrictions set forth in this Article IX).

(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification provided for in Section 9.3(a)(i) shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i)    The Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified or held harmless in respect of any Losses for which the Seller Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 9.3(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Threshold, in which case the Seller Indemnified Parties (as a group) shall be entitled to recover all Losses regardless of the Threshold, subject to Section 9.3(b)(ii) and Section 9.3(b)(iii) below; provided, however, that the Threshold shall not apply to a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties in Section 7.5, Section 7.9, Section 7.10 and Section 7.11;

(ii)    The Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified or held harmless in respect of any Losses for which the Seller Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 9.3(a)(i) with respect to breaches of representations and warranties (other than the representations and warranties in Section 7.5, Section 7.9, Section 7.10 and Section 7.11) that arise from any individual item, occurrence, circumstance, act or omission (or series of related items, occurrences, circumstances, acts or omissions) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses resulting therefrom exceeds the Per Claim Amount, nor shall any Losses excluded pursuant to this clause (ii) be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the Threshold or the Cap has been exceeded in respect of claims made by the Seller Indemnified Parties; and

(iii)    Purchaser’s aggregate liability for Losses with respect to breaches of representations and warranties for which the Seller Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 9.3(a)(i) (excluding for this purpose the representations and

warranties in Section 7.5, Section 7.9, Section 7.10 and Section 7.11) arising out of claims under this Agreement shall in no event exceed the Cap.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of this Article IX only, each representation and warranty made by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be made without any qualification or limitation as to materiality (including any qualification or limitation made by reference to “material”) and, without limiting the foregoing, the word “material” and words of similar import shall be deemed deleted from any such representation or warranty.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Claims with respect to which there is a finding or judgment of actual fraud by Seller by an Arbitration Panel in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall not be subject to the limitations under this Section 9.3.

9.4    Limitations on Indemnification and Recourse.

(a)    Purchaser and Seller shall (and shall cause the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties, respectively, to) use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery, at its or their own expense (it being understood that the foregoing does not preclude such amounts from being Losses for the purposes hereof), under all applicable insurance policies, to the extent coverage for such matters exists on the face of the applicable insurance policy, and indemnification or reimbursement rights covering any such claim; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to initiate or pursue any legal action to make any such recovery.

(b)    To the extent that any Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of a Loss after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of the Loss.

(c)    No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this Article IX in respect of any Loss which is contingent unless and until such contingent Loss becomes an actual liability and is due and payable.

(d)    No Party’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX shall be adversely affected by its waiver of a condition to the Closing set forth in Article IV.

9.5    Indemnification Procedures.

(a)    A person or entity seeking to be indemnified under this Article IX (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the Party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (including in respect of a pending or threatened action asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third-Party Claim” and any such notice being a “Claim Certificate”); it being agreed that any such Claim Certificate must describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim, the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to which indemnification may be sought and, if reasonably ascertainable, an estimate of the Indemnified Party’s Losses and must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 9.1.

(b)    In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall object to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall, within 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Certificate, deliver to the Indemnified Party a notice to such effect, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, within the 60-day period beginning on the date of receipt by the Indemnified Party of such objection, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims to which the Indemnifying

Party shall have so objected. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts within such time period, then the Indemnified Party shall, subject and in accordance with Article X (including Section 10.7), be permitted to pursue any and all available remedies at Law.

(c)    Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which an Indemnifying Party shall not object in writing within 30 days of receipt of such Claim Certificate, claims for Losses agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of a final judicial determination as described in Section 9.5(b) or shall have been settled with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, as described in Section 9.6, are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims”. Within 10 business days of the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Agreed Claim by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Indemnified Party in a notice to the Indemnifying Party not less than 2 business days prior to such payment. The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any and all reasonable costs or expenses of any nature or kind whatsoever (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in seeking to collect such Losses from the time such Losses become due and payable.

9.6    Third-Party Claim Indemnification Procedure. If any Third-Party Claim is made against any Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification hereunder for any Loss under this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim, but in any case, not later than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. Upon receipt of a notice of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered by the earlier of (a) 20 business days of the receipt of the applicable Claim Certificate in respect of such Third-Party Claim and (b) the 5th day preceding the date on which an appearance is required to be made before a court, arbitrator or other tribunal or an answer or similar pleading is required to be filed in a litigation or other proceeding, to assume the defense and control of such Third-Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party); provided, that the Indemnifying Party must conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently in order to preserve its rights in this regard; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, that, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there are defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable fees and expenses of one external law firm to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.6 the Indemnified Party shall then be entitled to assume and control such defense (and the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to be Losses for which the Indemnified Party may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to select counsel, contractors and consultants. The Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim, including by furnishing books and records and personnel (on a mutually convenient basis), as reasonably relevant for any defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall keep each other fully and promptly informed with respect to the status of all Third-Party Claims and shall deliver to each other copies of all material written notices and documents (including court papers) received by the other that relate to any Third-Party Claims. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid

production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third-Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim, with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that no such consent of the Indemnified Party shall be required if such settlement or judgment contains a release of the Indemnified Party and would not result in (i) the imposition of any consent order, injunctive relief or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) a finding or admission that would have an adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iv) any monetary liability of the Indemnified Party that will not be paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party, (v) any non-monetary condition or obligation being imposed on any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (vi) a material and adverse impact on the ongoing business of the Indemnified Party.

9.7    Mitigation. Each of the Parties agrees to use, to the extent reasonably practicable, their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effective Loss to be suffered by an Indemnified Party and indemnified by any Indemnifying Party under this Article IX.

9.8    Exclusive Remedy. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except for any claim of actual fraud, following the Closing Date, indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages in respect of any breaches of or default under this Agreement and for any claims arising out of or relating to the ownership, use or other exploitation of the Assigned Patents, whether prior to or after the Closing. Seller has specifically relied upon the limited remedies provided in this Article IX in agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in agreeing to provide the specific representations and warranties set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, except in connection with any claim of actual fraud, Purchaser hereby waives and releases any and all statutory, equitable or common law remedy it may have in respect of any breach of Seller’s representations and warranties in this Agreement.

9.9    No Double Recovery. Neither the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, nor the Sellers Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, shall be entitled to recover more than once in respect of the same Loss or state of facts giving rise to such Losses (notwithstanding that such Loss may result from more than one of the occurrences specified in Section 9.1 or Section 9.3, as the case may be).

9.10    Purchase Price Adjustment. No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified, defended, held harmless or reimbursed for, from or against any Losses (and such Losses shall not be counted against the Cap or the Threshold) to the extent such Losses are included in the calculation of the post-Closing adjustment pursuant to Section 3.2.

9.11    Indemnification Net of Tax Benefits, Withholding. All indemnification payments shall be net of any applicable tax benefit, including any credit, refund, deduction, depreciation, or similar tax benefit, which the Indemnified Party is entitled to claim in the year the Loss is incurred and the following three years, and, subject to Section 3.1(c), net of any applicable withholding as required by applicable Law.

9.12    Insurance; Subrogation. In calculating the amount of any Loss, the proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, in each case relating to the matters described in the Claim Certificate, shall be deducted, except to the extent that the adjustment itself would excuse, exclude or limit the coverage of all or part of such Loss pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that, after having complied with its obligations under Section 9.4(a), an Indemnified Party still has any rights against a third party with respect to any occurrence, claim or Loss that results in a payment by an Indemnifying Party under this

Article IX, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such rights to the extent of such payment. Each Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims.

9.13    Interest on Losses. The amount of any Losses that represents an Agreed Claim that is payable under Section 9.5(c) to the applicable Indemnified Party, including any overdue interest payable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 9.13, shall bear interest, from the date the Indemnifying Party received the applicable Claim Certificate, at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as defined in the Promissory Note), calculated from and including such date to but excluding the date reimbursement of such Losses by the Indemnifying Party is made. Interest under this Section 9.13 shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and shall accrue on the actual number of days elapsed for any period for which such interest is being calculated.    

9.14    Set-Off. Each of Purchaser and Seller, as applicable, shall be entitled to set off the amount of any Losses payable under this Article IX against any other amounts payable by such Party to the other Party whether under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, including the Deferred Consideration pursuant to the Promissory Note (in the case of Losses payable by Seller) and any payment due to Purchaser under the Mobile Licensing Program Agreement (in the case of Losses payable by Purchaser).

10.1    Confidentiality.

(a) The Parties acknowledge and confirm that they shall continue to be bound by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to all communications and transactions between the Parties and their respective Affiliates related to this Agreement, and that the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to and be binding upon the Purchaser as if it is the “Participant” (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement); provided, however, that any Confidential Information of Seller contained within the Assigned Assets or Business Documents (in each case, to the extent solely related to the Assigned Assets) conveyed, transferred, assigned or delivered to Purchaser pursuant to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be considered Confidential Information of Purchaser after the Closing; provided, that (x) such information shall remain subject to any Third-Party Obligations (provided, however, in no event shall the Purchaser or its Affiliates be liable for breach of any Third-Party Obligations that have not (i) been disclosed to Purchaser (or its counsel) or (ii) been made available to Purchaser (or its counsel) as part of the due diligence for the transaction contemplated by this Agreement); and (y) that the Parties, and their respective Affiliates and representatives, shall be permitted to make disclosures of such information in order to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement (including under Sections 2.4, 4.2, 4.3 and 8.6) and the Transaction Documents without being deemed to be in violation of this Section 10.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assigned Revenue Contracts and any Contract of the Seller or its Affiliates (and the sublicensees, agent and representatives of such Persons) evidencing an Encumbrance other than the Assigned Contracts shall continue to be Confidential Information of Seller; provided, however, that the Seller hereby consents to the use by Purchaser and its Affiliates of any Contract evidencing an Existing Encumbrance so long as such use is reasonably related to determining the scope of the Existing Encumbrance and does not breach any Third Party Obligations. The Disclosure Period (as set forth in Section 5 of the Confidentiality Agreement) shall be extended such that it will remain in effect for so long as this Agreement is in force. To the extent the Confidentiality Period (set forth in Section 6 of the Confidentiality Agreement) would have otherwise been shorter, in no instance will Recipient’s (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) duties with respect to Confidential Information under this Agreement expire prior to five (5) years from the date hereof, and to the extent any information is subject to a Third-Party Obligation with a longer confidentiality term, such information shall be subject to such longer confidentiality term.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that the Agreement will be, and some or all of the Transaction Documents may be, publicly disclosed in order to satisfy applicable Law, and the existence of, and terms and conditions in, this Agreement and such Transaction Documents (to the extent required to be disclosed) shall not be considered confidential. To the extent that any Transaction Documents are not required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable Law, subject to Section 8.6, the Transaction Documents (or portions thereof) that are not required to be disclosed (the “Confidential Content”) shall be considered “Confidential Information” under the Confidentiality Agreement of both Seller and Purchaser, and shall be kept in confidence by the Parties and their respective Affiliates and representatives in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, applied mutatis mutandis. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, subject to Section 8.6, the Parties shall not now or hereafter divulge the Confidential Content to any third party (other than their respective representatives and Affiliates to the extent contemplated hereunder and under the Confidentiality Agreement) except: (i) with the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld); (ii) to any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction to require disclosure, or to any arbitral body, to the extent legally compelled by same; provided, that the disclosing Party first gives the other Party prior written notice in order to enable that Party to seek a protective order (or other equivalent protection) and such permissible disclosure is limited to the terms legally required (or reasonably determined by its legal counsel as being necessary or advisable) to be disclosed; (iii) as otherwise may be required by any applicable securities exchange rules or regulations, and such permissible disclosure is limited to the terms legally required (or reasonably determined by its legal counsel as being necessary or advisable) to be disclosed; (iv) to the Financing Sources, or their or the Parties’ respective legal and financial advisors that are bound by written or professional obligations to maintain such information confidential that is at least as protective as the terms of this Section 10.1; (v) during the course of any litigation, arbitration or similar proceedings between the Parties in connection with or arising from this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, so long as the disclosing Party makes reasonable efforts for the disclosure to be produced under seal or protective order on the same manner as is the highly confidential information of other litigating parties; (vi) as may be compelled by Law or legal process or as required during the course of litigation (other than pursuant to clause (v)); provided, however, that in the event of potential disclosure under clause (vi), the disclosing Party will (x) use all legitimate and legal means available to minimize the disclosure to third parties, including, without limitation, seeking a protective order whenever appropriate or available and (y) provide the other Party with at least 10 days’ prior written notice of such disclosure; (vii) other than the Mobile Licensing Program Agreement (except to the extent permitted therein), to the extent reasonably necessary, to accountants, legal counsel and financing sources and potential acquirors that, in each case, are bound by a written or professional obligation to maintain such information confidential that is at least as protective as the terms of this Section 10.1; (viii) Purchaser may disclose, on a need-to-know basis, portions of the Confidential Content (other than the Mobile Licensing Program Agreement (except to the extent permitted therein) or any financial information contained in any Confidential Content) or their content to any potential licensees or assignees of any of the Assigned Assets or any other potential or existing business partner; provided, that all such potential licensees, assignees or business partners agree to terms of confidentiality substantially similar to, and at least as protective to Seller as, those set forth herein; (ix) Seller may disclose, on a need-to-know basis, portions of the Confidential Content to any potential or existing business partner; provided, that such business partner agrees to terms of confidentiality substantially similar to, and at least as protective to Purchaser as, those set forth herein; and (x) Purchaser may disclose this Agreement or its contents in order to perfect Purchaser’s interest in the Assigned Patent Rights with any governmental patent office, or to enforce or verify Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Patent Rights.

10.2     Public Announcement. Neither of the Parties will make, and the Parties will ensure that their Affiliates do not make, any public announcement concerning the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written (email being sufficient)

consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by Law or the rules of any stock exchange. If such an announcement is required by Law or the rules of any stock exchange, the Party required to make the announcement shall inform the other Party of the contents of the announcement proposed to be made.

10.3    Guarantee. In order to induce Seller to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Seller, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full, prompt and punctual payment and performance of Purchaser’s present and future obligations, liabilities, covenants and agreements required to be observed and performed or paid or reimbursed by Purchaser under or relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (the “Guarantee”).

(a)    With respect to the Guarantee, each Person whose payment or performance is guaranteed by such Guarantee, is referred to herein as a “Guaranteed Person”, and the Persons entitled to the benefit of the Guarantee are collectively referred to herein as the “Beneficiaries”, and the obligations guaranteed by the Guarantee are collectively referred to herein as the “Guaranteed Obligations”.

(ii)    the validity or genuineness of this Agreement with respect to any Guaranteed Person;

(iii)    the enforceability of this Section 10.3 against any Guaranteed Person and the Guarantors;

(v)    any amendment or modification of this Agreement or change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, renewal or alteration of, any Guaranteed Obligation, any escrow arrangement or other security therefor, any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the terms of this Agreement or the documents entered into in connection herewith;

(vi)    the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that the Guarantors may have at any time against any Guaranteed Person, whether in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation or otherwise; or

(vii)    any other act or omission relating to the Guarantee that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantors or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantors as a matter of applicable Law or equity.

(c)    Seller hereby agrees that to the extent the Purchaser makes, or is otherwise is relieved of, its payment obligations under this Agreement, the Guarantors shall be similarly relieved of its corresponding Guaranteed Obligations under this Guarantee solely in respect of such relieved obligations.

(d)    Beneficiaries. No Beneficiary shall be obligated to file any claim relating to any Guaranteed Obligation in the event that the Guaranteed Person becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Beneficiary to so file shall not affect the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder. In the event that

any payment to the Beneficiary in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantors shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Obligation as if such payment had not been made.

(e)    Waivers. The Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance, presentment, demand, protest and any notice in respect of the Guarantee not provided for herein.

(f)    The obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantee are continuing and will remain in full force and effect until all obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement have been performed or paid and satisfied in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Guarantors’ obligations under this Section 10.3 shall not be assignable to any other person without the prior written consent of Seller, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

10.4    Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR A BREACH OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS CONTAINED IN SECTION 10.1 OR OF THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN SECTION 7.9, SECTION 7.10 OR ANY ACTUAL FRAUD CLAIM, (A) NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE, AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL BRING ANY CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING SEEKING RECOVERY, FOR INTANGIBLE, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR WHETHER THE FOREGOING LIMITATION CAUSES THE AGREEMENT TO FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE (UNLESS AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOST PROFITS, FUTURE EARNINGS AND OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARE AWARDED BY A COURT OR ARBITRATOR TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY HAS PROVIDED INDEMNIFICATION HEREUNDER), AND (B) NEITHER PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND INVENTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, OR ANY THIRD PARTY, COLLECTIVELY, IN EXCESS OF THE CLOSING PAYMENT OR, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS SUBJECT TO THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE IX, THE AMOUNTS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IX, NO MATTER WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES UNDER CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LAW.

10.5    Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not perform its obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (a) each Party shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms hereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled under this Agreement; and (b) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, no Party would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this

Section 10.5 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction or enforcement.

10.6    Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party will pay its own fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the payment of any filing fee payable in connection with the Regulatory Approvals.

shall not preclude the Parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

(b)    JAMS shall send the Parties a list of 15 candidates to serve as members of the Arbitration Panel within 10 days after JAMS issues a Commencement Letter (see JAMS Rule 15). The Arbitration Panel shall be chosen from this list of candidates as provided for in JAMS Rule 15(c)-(f). The Parties agree that the Chair of the Arbitration Panel shall be chosen by the Arbitration Panel (and if the Arbitration Panel fails to reach an agreement, by JAMS).

(c)    Each party shall be responsible for an equal share of the expenses of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrators. These fees shall be included in any award of costs to the prevailing party.

(d)    Within 21 days of the appointment of the Arbitration Panel, the Arbitration Panel shall hold a Preliminary Conference pursuant to JAMS Rule 16 to discuss scheduling. The schedule adopted for the proceeding shall reflect the Parties agreement that the Arbitration Hearing be held within 6 months of the appointment of the Arbitration Panel.

(e)    If injunctive or other interim relief contemplated by Section 10.7(g) is requested, the hearing(s) will be expedited in accordance with any order entered by the Arbitration Panel.

(f)    In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Arbitration Panel shall award the prevailing party the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.

(g)    The Arbitration Panel shall have the right to award, on an interim basis, or include in the final award, any relief which is allowable under the applicable Law, and which it deems proper in the circumstances, including money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the due date, attorneys’ fees and costs) and injunctive relief (including specific performance); provided, that the Panel will not award any relief not specifically requested by the Parties.

(h)    The agreement to arbitrate Disputes set forth in this Section 10.7 will continue in full force and effect subsequent to, and notwithstanding the completion, expiration or termination of, this Agreement.

(i)    Any party to the arbitration that has obtained an order of interim injunctive relief may enter judgment upon such award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The final award in an arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.7 will be conclusive and binding upon the parties thereto, and any party to the arbitration that has obtained a final award may enter judgment upon such award in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(j)    It is the intent of the Parties that the agreement to arbitrate Disputes set forth in this Section 10.7 will be interpreted and applied broadly such that all reasonable doubts as to arbitrability of a Dispute will be decided in favor of arbitration.

(k)    The parties shall keep any such arbitration confidential and shall not disclose to any person, other than those necessary to the proceedings, the existence of the arbitration, any information, testimony or documents submitted during the arbitration or received from the other party, a witness or the arbitrator(s) in connection with the arbitration, and any award, if and to the extent that disclosure is required by Law or necessary for permitted court proceedings, such as proceedings to recognize or enforce an award.

(l)    Irreparable damage would occur in the event that any covenant herein were not to be performed in accordance with its terms. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek interim injunctions in aid of arbitration to prevent any breach of covenant and

to enforce specifically this Agreement in the federal courts of the United States located in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York; provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined in any New York state court located in New York County, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled at law or in equity.

(m)    The Parties agree that any arbitration under this Section 10.7 may be consolidated with any other arbitration arising under any other Transaction Document having common issues of fact or law pursuant to JAMS Rule 6(e).

(n)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates and representatives agrees (i) that it will not bring or support any action or claim, cross-claim, suit or proceeding of any kind or nature, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise involving or against any Debt Financing Source or Debt Financing Source Related Person in any way relating to the Debt Financing, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Credit Facility Documents, or the performance thereof), insofar as it relates to their activities in arranging or providing the Debt Financing, in any forum other than the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court sitting in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, (ii) to waive and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action or any such claim, cross-claim, suit or proceeding in any such court. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated by the Credit Facility Documents in any court other than the aforesaid courts.

10.9    Waivers. The failure of any Party to insist upon the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the future performance of any such term or condition.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Sections 10.7, 10.7(n), 10.12, 10.13, 10.17, 10.18 and this Section 10.9 (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification of such provision would modify the substance of the foregoing) shall not be modified in a manner that is adverse to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of the adversely affected Debt Financing Sources.
