Each of Purchaser and Seller acknowledges and agrees that the other party would be damaged irreparably in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached.

5.7. Further Assurances. In the event that at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, transferring any Business Intellectual Property or Permits so that Purchaser becomes the holder of record of such Business Intellectual Property or Permits, each of the parties hereto will take such commercially reasonable further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other party hereto reasonably may request. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and its respective Affiliates with any post-Closing notification requirements and shall provide such information to Purchaser and its Affiliates as such Persons may reasonably require to complete such notification.

 

5.8. Access to Books and Records. From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser and its authorized representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable written notice, to the books and records of Seller related to the Business in order for Purchaser to have the opportunity to make reasonable investigation thereof, in each case, if (a) permitted under applicable Law, (b) such books and records are not subject to confidentiality agreements or other non-disclosure obligations, (c) disclosing such books and records would not adversely affect any attorney-client privilege, work product or similar privilege and (d) such access does not unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Business.

Subject to Section 5.8, Purchaser shall not (and shall cause its employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates not to) contact, in any manner, any officer, director, employee, manager, customer, supplier or other business relation of Seller prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of Seller.

All payments will be in U.S. dollars via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller within 90 days of the end of each calendar year in which the Royalties are accrued.

 

(a) Royalty Statement. Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with a written statement each year with each Royalty payment setting forth the Revenue received based on the Business for the previous calendar year.

 

(b) Records. Purchaser agrees to keep true and accurate records containing all data necessary for the proper computation of the Royalties associated with the Royalties Schedule described in Section 5.11(e) (below). Such records shall be available for inspection by Seller and/or Seller’s designated accountant at least once a calendar year, by Seller providing at least twenty-one (21) days prior written notice to Purchaser, and shall remain available for a period of at least three (3) years after the calendar year in which the Royalties accrued. Any adjustments to the Royalty payments specified in the Royalties Schedule described in Section 5.11(e) to compensate for any errors or omissions relating to the amounts payable under the Royalties Schedule shall be made by Purchaser within thirty (30) days of notification of the adjustment.

(c) Confidential Information. Information obtained from Purchaser regarding any Royalties shall be held in strict confidence by Seller and is not to be used for any other purpose except to verify the accuracy of the Royalties and fees paid to Seller according to the Royalties Schedule described in Section 5.11(e). In case of dispute relating to the amount of the Royalties owed or paid and of further litigation relating thereto, or in the case of a disclosure required by law or regulation, Seller shall be free to make use of the information collected regarding any royalties. Seller shall also be permitted to disclose such Royalty information to its Affiliates, accountants, legal advisors, agents, investors, and contractors; provided that such parties are bound by comparable confidentiality restrictions.

 

(d) Late Payment. Any amounts payable to Seller that remain unpaid after the due date per Section 5.11(e) shall be subject to a late payment charge equal to 5% above the then current SOFR rate for payment default, from the due date until such amount is paid.

5.12. Governmental Approvals and Consents. Each party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Related Agreements. Each party shall cooperate with the other party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. The parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals.

 

 

(b) Seller and Purchaser each will, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(c) Seller and Purchaser shall, subject to applicable Law, promptly (i) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the taking of the actions contemplated by Section 5.13(a) and (ii) supply the other with any information that may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the taking of such actions. Each party hereto shall, subject to applicable Law, promptly inform the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

 

6.1. Survival. The representations and warranties of the Parties contained herein or in any other certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing and shall expire on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”);

 

6.2. Indemnification by Seller. Seller agrees to indemnify Purchaser and each of its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or suffered by them arising out of or relating to any of the following:

 

(a) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(b) any breach of or failure by Seller to perform any covenant or obligation of Seller set forth in this Agreement;

 

(c) any Liabilities not expressly assumed hereunder (including any Liability for any Excluded Tax);

 

(d) the use, operation or ownership of any of the Acquired Assets or the Business on or prior to the Closing Date whether discovered prior to, on or after the Closing Date; and

 

 

6.3. Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to indemnify Seller and each of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or suffered by them arising out of or relating to any of the following:

 

(a) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(b) any breach of or failure by Purchaser to perform any covenant or obligation of Purchaser set out or contemplated in this Agreement; and

 

(c) Liabilities and obligations to the extent relating to Purchaser’s operation of the Business and the Acquired Assets on and after the Closing; provided, however, that such Losses do not relate to Losses for which any Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

 

6.4. Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a) Notice of Claims; Assumption of Defense. The indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the indemnifying Party, in accordance with the terms of Section 9.3, of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any Person, in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, specifying with reasonable particularity the basis therefor and giving the indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but the giving of such notice shall not be a condition precedent to indemnification hereunder (unless the indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give notice). The indemnifying Party may, at its own expense, (i) participate in the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding and (ii) upon notice to the indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party’s written agreement that the indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 for Losses arising out of such claim, suit, action or proceeding, at any time during the course of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that (A) the indemnifying Party’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party; (B) the indemnifying Party has confirmed in writing its responsibility for such Losses to such indemnified Party under Section 6.2 or 6.3, as applicable and (C) the indemnifying Party shall thereafter consult with the indemnified Party upon the indemnified Party’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding. If the indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying Party. If, however, in the opinion of the indemnified Party’s counsel, the representation by the indemnifying Party’s counsel of both the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then such indemnified Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding and the indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and disbursements of such separate counsel. Whether or not the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

 

(b) Settlement or Compromise. Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the indemnified Party or the indemnifying Party, as the case may be, of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to in this Section 6.4 shall also be binding upon the indemnifying Party or the indemnified Party, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, however, that the indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any such claim, or otherwise acknowledge or admit the validity of such claim or any Liability in respect thereof if such settlement, compromise, acknowledgement or admission (i) would result in an order, injunction or other equitable remedy in respect of the indemnified Party or would otherwise have a direct adverse effect upon the indemnified Party’s continuing operations, (ii) would give rise to any Liability on the part of the indemnified Party for which the indemnifying Party shall have not agreement in writing that such indemnifying Party is solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the claim, (iii) would result in Liabilities which, taken together with other existing claims under this Article VII, would not be fully indemnified hereunder, or (iv) would reasonably be expected to increase the Liability of the indemnified Party for Taxes after the Closing Date; in each case, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnified Party will give the indemnifying Party at least 30 days’ notice of any proposed settlement or compromise of any claim, suit, action or proceeding it is defending, during which time the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of, and responsibility for, such claim, suit, action or proceeding and if it does so the proposed settlement or compromise may not be made.

 

 

(c) Failure of Indemnifying Party to Act. In the event that the indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding, then any failure of the indemnified Party to defend or to participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding or to cause the same to be done, shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the indemnified Party shall have given the indemnifying Party at least 30 days’ notice of its proposed failure to defend or participate and affords the indemnifying Party the opportunity to assume the defense thereof prior to the end of such period.

 

(d) Procedure for Indemnification. Upon becoming aware of a claim for indemnification hereunder (whether as a result of any claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to in this Section 6.5 or in connection with any Losses which the indemnified Party deems to be within the ambit of this Article VII or otherwise), the indemnified Party shall give, in accordance with the terms of Section 8.3, notice of such claim (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying Party, providing reasonable detail of how the claim has arisen and an estimate (if possible) of the amount the indemnified Party reasonably anticipates that it will be entitled to on account of indemnification by the indemnifying Party. If the indemnifying Party does not object to such indemnification claim within thirty (30) days of receiving notice thereof, the amount of such Claim Notice shall be deemed final and undisputed and the indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount of such claim.

 

6.5. Calculation of Indemnity Payments. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI shall be net of any amounts recovered or recoverable by the indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss and shall be (a) increased to take account of any net Tax cost actually incurred by the indemnified Party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (b) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such indemnified amount. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified amount. For purposes of determining the existence of, and calculating the amount of, any Losses arising out of or resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of any Party set forth in this Agreement, any reference to “Material Adverse Effect” or “materiality” or other correlative terms in such representations or warranties shall be disregarded.

 

6.6. Right of Setoff. With respect to claims for Losses under this Article VII by any Purchaser Indemnitee, such Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right to demand from Seller satisfaction of such excess amounts:

 

(a) First, by payment of cash; and

 

(b) Second, through a set-off against any amounts owed by Purchaser to Seller under this Agreement or any Related Agreement.

 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff or to give a notice of a claim under the Escrow Agreement will constitute an election of remedies or limit Purchaser in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

 

6.7. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. For all Tax purposes, Purchaser and Seller agree to treat (and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

6.8. Expiration of Claims. The ability of any Purchaser Indemnitee to receive indemnification from Seller under Section 6.2(a), shall terminate upon expiration of the Survival Period. If a Purchaser Indemnitee made a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a) prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, such claim and the right to be indemnified hereunder with respect to such claim shall survive the expiration of the Survival Period until the final resolution of such claim and the payment of all indemnifiable amounts with respect thereto (if any).

 

ARTICLE VII TAX MATTERS

 

7.1. Filing of Tax Returns. Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall timely file all Tax Returns to be filed prior to the Closing with respect to the Business and the Acquired Assets, and all Tax Returns of Seller, and timely pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns. To the extent any such Tax Return could affect the Taxes of Purchaser, such Tax Return shall be prepared consistently with the practices and procedures of Seller before the date hereof. Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall timely file all Tax Returns with respect to the Business and the Acquired Assets due after the Closing Date and all Tax Returns of Purchaser. Purchaser shall deliver any Tax Return with respect to the Business and the Acquired Assets due after the Closing Date that relates to periods before the Closing Date and was not prepared consistently with past practices, procedures, or accounting methods to Seller for Seller’s review and comment. Purchaser shall incorporate any timely and reasonable comments made by Seller in the final Tax Return prior to filing. No failure or delay of Purchaser in providing such Tax Returns for Seller to review shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Seller pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent Seller is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure.

 

7.2. Allocation of Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, if any Tax (or Tax refund) relates to a period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date, the Parties shall use the following conventions for determining the portion of such Tax (or Tax refund) that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and the portion that relates to a Post-Closing Tax Period: (a) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount of Taxes (or Tax refunds) attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period, and the remaining amount of such Taxes (or Tax refunds) shall be attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period; and (b) in the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, employment Taxes and sales and use Taxes), the amount of Taxes (or Tax refunds) attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined as if a separate return was filed for the period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology,” and the remaining amount of the Taxes (or Tax refunds) for such period shall be attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. For purposes of clause (b), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date based on the mechanics set forth in clause

(a) for periodic Taxes.

 

 

7.3. Cooperation on Tax Matters. Purchaser and Seller shall (a) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return relating to the Business or the Acquired Assets; (b) assist in any audit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns relating to the Business or the Acquired Assets; (c) retain for the full period of any statute of limitations and make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns relating to the Business or the Acquired Assets; (d) provide any information required to allow Purchaser or Seller to comply with all information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Laws; and (e) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax.

 

7.4. Transfer Taxes. Any and all goods and services, sales, use, purchase and transfer Taxes, including any value added, excise, stock transfer, gross receipts, stamp duty, real estate transfer and real, personal, or intangible property transfer Taxes and other such Taxes and any conveyance fees or recording charges due by reason of the transfer of the Acquired Assets, including any interest or penalties in respect thereof (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser. Purchaser shall make any required filings with respect to Transfer Taxes and Seller shall promptly pay its portion of Transfer Taxes to Purchaser.

 

7.5. Tax Refunds. All refunds for Taxes that are Excluded Taxes and one hundred percent (100%) of all refunds for any Transfer Taxes shall, in each case, be for the benefit of Seller; provided, however, any refund for any such Tax that Purchaser paid that Seller has not indemnified for under this Agreement shall be for the benefit of Purchaser. To the extent Purchaser receives a refund that is for the benefit of Seller, Purchaser shall promptly pay the amount of such refund to Seller (without interest, other than interest received from the applicable Governmental Authority, and net of any out-of-pocket costs or Taxes incurred by Purchaser with respect to obtaining such refund). All refunds for Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), and all refunds for Taxes attributable to the Acquired Assets, the Business, or any employee of the Business or Seller for any Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the benefit of Purchaser. To the extent Seller receives a refund that is for the benefit of Purchaser, Seller shall promptly pay the amount of such refund to Purchaser (without interest, other than interest received from the applicable Governmental Authority, and net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or Taxes incurred by Seller with respect to obtaining such refund).

 

ARTICLE VIII TERMINATION

 

8.1. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

 

(a) by the mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller;

 

(b) by Purchaser, if there has been a violation or breach by Seller of any covenant, representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement that would prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the obligation of Purchaser to consummate the Closing, and such violation or breach has not been expressly waived in writing by Purchaser, or has not been cured by Seller within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Purchaser (or has not been cured by Seller within five (5) days after written notice thereof from Purchaser in the event such Seller fails to consummate the Closing on the second Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Article II (other than conditions that are to be satisfied at Closing)).

 

 

(c) by Seller, if there has been a violation or breach by Purchaser of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that would prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of Seller to consummate the Closing, and such violation or breach has not been expressly waived in writing by Seller, or has not been cured by Purchaser within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Seller (or has not been cured by Purchaser within five (5) days after written notice thereof from Seller in the event Purchaser fails to consummate the Closing on the second Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Article II (other than conditions that are to be satisfied at Closing)).

 

(d) by either Purchaser or Seller, if the transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated on or prior to December 31, 2022 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that (i) if the satisfaction, or waiver by the appropriate party, of all of the conditions contained in Article II hereof (other than those conditions that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) occurs two Business Days or less prior to the Termination Date, then neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) until the third Business Day after the Termination Date; and (ii) neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if such Person’s or its Affiliates’ breach of this Agreement has prevented the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(e) by either Purchaser or Seller, if any Governmental Authority issues any order, judgment, injunction, decree or other legally binding pronouncement permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby, which shall have become final and non- appealable; provided, that the party seeking termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) used commercially reasonable efforts (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Section 5.12) to resist and otherwise challenge the entry of such order, judgment, injunction, decree or other legally binding pronouncement.

 

8.2. Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement as provided above, this Agreement shall immediately become void and of no further force or effect (other than this Section 8.2 and Article IX hereof and the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms), and there shall be no liability on the part of any of Purchaser or Seller to any other party hereunder, except that each party hereto shall be liable for any fraud or any willful breach of this Agreement that was committed prior to such termination. For purposes of clarification, if a party does not consummate the transactions contemplated hereby at the time required hereby in circumstances in which all of the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 or 2.5, as applicable, have been satisfied (or could be satisfied at the Closing), such circumstance or failure to close shall be deemed to be a willful breach of this Agreement.
