1.
SALE OF TRANSFERRED BUSINESS ASSETS AND RELATED MATTERS.
1.1    Sale of Transferred Business Assets. At the Closing, the Sellers shall sell or cause to be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered to the applicable Purchaser or Purchasers (or one or more Affiliates of the Purchasers to be designated by the Purchasers by written notice to comScore prior to the Closing (each, a “Designated Adobe Affiliate”)), all right, title and interest of each Seller-Related Party in, to and under all of the Transferred Business Assets, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances (but, in the case of Transferred Business IP, subject to the Seller Holdback License and the Seller Business Customer Contracts in effect as of the Closing (collectively, the “Specified IP Licenses”)), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Transferred Business Assets” means all of the Assets described in the following clauses “(a)” through “(f)” of this Section 1.1, in each case, other than any Excluded Assets:
(a)    to AILP or its Designated Adobe Affiliate(s) any and all Computer Software (including Source Code) in which any of the Seller-Related Parties has an ownership interest or a purported ownership interest that is Business-Related or is incorporated or embodied in any Business Product (all Computer Software described in this Section 1.1(a), other than any Excluded Assets, being referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Transferred Business Software”);
(b)    to AILP or its Designated Adobe Affiliate(s): (i) any and all Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Rights in which any of the Seller-Related Parties has an ownership interest or a purported ownership interest that are Business-Related or are incorporated or embodied in any Business Product; (ii) the Business Data; (iii) the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Rights identified on Schedule 1.1(b); and (iv) the goodwill associated with the Transferred Business Assets (all Business Data, Intellectual Property, Intellectual Property Rights and goodwill referred to in this Section 1.1(b), other than any Excluded Assets, together with the Transferred Business Software, being referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Transferred Business IP”);
(c)    subject to Sections 1.5 and 4.3(b), to Adobe (with respect to: (x) the Transferred Customer Contracts and (y) Seller Proprietary Rights Contracts described in Section 1.1(c)(ii)(A), in each case, held by comScore), AILP (with respect to (x) the Transferred IP Contracts and (y) Seller Proprietary Rights Contracts described in Section 1.1(c)(ii)(B)) and ADIR (with respect to the Transferred Customer Contracts held by comScore-Netherlands) or to any of their Designated Adobe Affiliate(s):
(i)    any and all rights of each of the Seller-Related Parties under
(A)    (1) each of the Contracts set forth on Schedule 1.1(c)(i)(A); and (2) each other Seller Contract (other than any Seller Proprietary Rights Contracts described in Section 1.1(c)(ii)(B)) relating to (x) the sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance to any of the Seller-Related Parties of any rights in the Transferred Business IP or (y) the grant to any of the Seller-Related Parties of any license, covenant not to assert or immunity under, in or to any Transferred Business IP (other than licenses to third-party Open Source Code) (each Contract referred to in this clause “(A),” other than any such Contract included in the Excluded Assets, a “Transferred IP Contract”); and
(B)    (1) each of the Contracts set forth on Schedule 1.1(c)(i)(B); and (2) each other Exclusive Business Customer Contract (each Contract

2




referred to in this clause “(B),” other than any such Contract included in the Excluded Assets, a “Transferred Customer Contract”);
(the Transferred IP Contracts and Transferred Customer Contracts being referred to collectively as the “Transferred Business Contracts” and individually as a “Transferred Business Contract”); and
(ii)    any and all rights of each of the Seller-Related Parties (solely to the extent that such rights are Business-Related or relate to any Business IP, any Business Confidential Information or any of the Transferred Business Assets) under: (A) each Seller Contract (including each Business Service Provider Contract) imposing or purporting to impose on any third party (including any Business Service Provider) any obligations that: (1) impose any obligations of confidentiality, non-disclosure of confidential information, non-use of confidential information, non-competition or non-solicitation of Business Customers; and (2) are, in whole or in part, applicable to or enforceable with respect to the Business, any Business Confidential Information or any Transferred Business Asset; and (B) each Business Service Provider Contract relating to (1) the sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance to any of the Seller-Related Parties of any rights in the Business IP or (2) the grant to any of the Seller-Related Parties of any license, covenant not to assert or immunity under, in or to any Business IP (the Seller Contracts referred to in this clause “(ii),” other than any such Contract included in the Transferred Business Contracts or the Excluded Assets, the “Seller Proprietary Rights Contracts”);
(d)    to AILP, ADIR or Adobe, as applicable (or their respective Designated Adobe Affiliate(s)), any and all Business-Related claims (including claims for past infringement of Transferred Business IP) of any of the Seller-Related Parties against any other Person (regardless of whether or not such claims have been asserted by any of the Seller-Related Parties), and any rights of indemnity, warranty rights, rights of contribution, rights to refunds, rights of reimbursement and other rights of recovery that are Business-Related possessed by any of the Seller-Related Parties (regardless of whether such rights are currently exercisable) (the “Transferred Business Claims”);
(e)    to ADIR or Adobe, as applicable (or their respective Designated Adobe Affiliate(s)), any and all accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, prepayments, and/or deposits of or held by any Seller-Related Party under the Seller Business Customer Contracts as of the Closing Date (the “Transferred Business Receivables”); and
(f)    to ADIR or Adobe, as applicable (or their respective Designated Adobe Affiliate(s)), any and all Business-Related customer contact lists, prospective customer contact lists, research and development reports and records, marketing data and marketing collateral (collectively, the “Transferred Business Records”).
1.2    Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties agree that none of the Sellers is selling to the Purchasers or any Designated Adobe Affiliate, and the Transferred Business Assets shall not include, any of the Assets specifically identified on Schedule 1.2, except to the extent otherwise provided on Schedule 1.2 (the “Excluded Assets”).
1.3    Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price payable by the Purchasers and any Designated Adobe-Affiliate(s) for the Transferred Business Assets and the Retained IP License Agreement shall be an amount equal to $45,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Subject to Section 1.10, at the Closing, the Purchasers and any Designated Adobe-Affiliate(s) shall collectively cause to be paid to comScore an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price by one or more wire transfers to an account number and in

3




accordance with wire instructions provided by the Sellers to the Purchasers for such purpose prior to the Closing. The Sellers shall provide such account number and wire instructions to the Purchasers at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Adobe shall be entitled to designate in its sole discretion the portion of the Purchase Price to be paid by each of the Purchasers at the Closing.
1.4    Assumption of Certain Liabilities.
(a)    Excluded Liabilities. Subject to Sections 1.4(b), neither the Purchasers nor any Designated Adobe Affiliate shall assume or have any responsibility for paying, discharging or otherwise performing, any Liability of any of the Seller-Related Parties (whether or not related to the Business). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Purchasers nor any Designated Adobe Affiliate shall assume or have any responsibility for paying, discharging or otherwise performing any: (i) Tax Liability; (ii) Liability for accrued wages, salaries, workers’ compensation, medical or disability benefits, vacation, sick or comprehensive leave benefits of or relating to the employment or termination of any of the Seller Service Providers; (iii) Liability under any Contract with (or other Liability to) any Seller Service Provider; (iv) retirement, pension or profit sharing Liability, Liability under any Seller Service Plan, severance Liability, payment in lieu of notice Liability or Liability arising out of any Legal Requirement owing to any Seller Service Provider in connection with such Seller Service Provider’s employment or engagement by or Contract with, or the termination of such Seller Service Provider’s employment or engagement by or Contract with, any of the Seller-Related Parties, as the case may be, or any penalties, fines or other expenses resulting from any compliance issue with any compensation or benefits plan, severance obligation or Legal Requirement; (v) indebtedness of any of the Seller-Related Parties; (vi) Liability arising out of or resulting from the breach of any Contract by any of the Seller-Related Parties or from any violation of any Legal Requirement by any of the Seller-Related Parties; (vii) Liability arising out of or relating to any claim against any of the Seller-Related Parties under any warranty issued by any Seller-Related Party as of the Closing Date on software, products or services included in the Transferred Business Assets; (viii) Liability arising under or relating to any Contract that is not an Assumed Business Contract, including any licenses for Open Source Code, leases, customer contracts, teaming agreements, including any Liability arising out of or relating to any claim by any other Person relating to any such Contract; (ix) Liability to any shareholder of, member of or any other Person holding options or other interests in, any of the Seller-Related Parties; (x) Liability arising out of or relating to the consummation of any of the Contemplated Transactions; (xi) Liability arising out of or relating to the events, facts, circumstances and other matters disclosed in Part 2.4(j) of the Disclosure Schedule (including in any letter or other document referred to therein); or (xii) other Liability of any of the Seller-Related Parties. Notwithstanding any provision of TUPE or any other Service Transfer Regulation or Legal Requirement or any Liability that the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates may have to any Governmental Body or other Person thereunder, the Purchasers and their Affiliates shall have no Liability to any of the Sellers or the other Seller-Related Parties (under this Agreement, under any other Transactional Agreement, or otherwise) to assume or have any responsibility for paying, discharging or otherwise performing any Liabilities imposed on any of the Purchasers or their Affiliates by operation of Legal Requirements in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions, and none of the Sellers or other Seller-Related Parties shall, or shall have any right to, bring any claim or Legal Proceeding for breach of Contract or otherwise against any of the Purchasers or their Affiliates as a result of any failure on the part of any of the Purchasers or their Affiliates to assume, pay, discharge or otherwise perform any of such Liabilities.
(b)    Assumed Liabilities. Notwithstanding Section 1.4(a), but subject to Sections 1.5 and 4.3(b), the applicable Purchasers or one or more Designated Adobe Affiliates shall assume at the Closing, and will discharge and perform as and when due, the ongoing obligations of the Seller-Related Parties under the Transferred Business Contracts that are identified on Schedule 1.4(b) (the “Assumed Business

4




Contracts”), but only: (A) to the extent that such obligations: (1) arise and accrue after the Closing; (2) do not arise from any breach by any of the Seller-Related Parties of any provision of any of such Assumed Business Contracts; (3) do not arise from any event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing on or prior to the Closing that, with or without notice or lapse of time, would constitute or result in a breach of any of such Assumed Business Contracts; and (4) are ascertainable (in nature and amount) solely by reference to the express written terms of any of such Assumed Business Contracts; and (B) to the extent such assumption may otherwise be limited as set forth on Schedule 1.4(b) (the “Assumed Business Liabilities”).
1.5    Seller Business Contracts Entered Into or Identified after the Date of this Agreement.
(a)    Seller Business Contracts Consented to by the Purchasers. During the Pre-Closing Period, no Seller shall, and the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each other Seller-Related Party not to, without the Purchasers’ prior written consent, enter into, terminate or amend any Seller Business Contract that would be or would reasonably be expected to be a Transferred Business Contract (each, a “Proposed Transferred Business Contract”), except for any Transferred Customer Contract entered into or amended in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Purchasers with all material drafts of each Proposed Transferred Business Contract (except for any Business Customer Contract that is, in all material respects, in the standard form Made Available to the Purchasers), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate the terms and conditions of each Proposed Transferred Business Contract in a manner reasonably expected to be satisfactory to the Purchasers. Without limiting the previous two sentences, the Sellers shall ensure that each Proposed Transferred Business Contract that is entered into or amended during the Pre-Closing Period permits the rights of the Seller-Related Parties thereunder to be assigned to the Purchasers in connection with a sale of the Business without any Consent being required to be obtained from any counterparty thereto. If a Proposed Transferred Business Contract entered into or amended during the Pre-Closing Period is: (i) (A) entered into without breach of this Agreement (including this Section 1.5(a)) during the Pre-Closing Period; and (B) has not been amended in breach of this Agreement (including this Section 1.5(a)) during the Pre-Closing Period; or (ii) is entered into or amended with the prior written consent of the Purchasers or as set forth on Part 1.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule during the Pre-Closing Period, then, effective as of the Closing, such Proposed Transferred Business Contract shall be deemed to be a Transferred Business Contract and, in the case of such a Proposed Transferred Business Contract that is an Exclusive Business Customer Contract, an Assumed Business Contract.
(b)    Proposed Transferred Business Contracts Entered into in Breach of this Agreement. If, during the Pre-Closing Period, any Seller-Related Party enters into or amends any Proposed Transferred Business Contract (other than an Exclusive Business Customer Contract entered into or amended in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in accordance with Section 1.5(a)) during the Pre-Closing Period without the Purchasers’ prior written consent and without such entry into or amendment of such Proposed Transferred Business Contract being set forth on Part 1.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, then, without limiting any of the Purchasers’ other rights or remedies in respect of any breach of Section 1.5(a) or any other applicable covenant or representation and warranty of the Sellers, the Purchasers shall be entitled to designate such Seller Business Contract as a Transferred Business Contract (and, in the case of any Exclusive Business Customer Contract, an Assumed Business Contract) or not a Transferred Business Contract, and, following such designation, such Seller Business Contract shall be treated in accordance with such designation for all purposes under this Agreement.
1.6    Seller Holdback License. Prior to the Closing, comScore-Netherlands and comScore-CI shall enter into a License Agreement in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B providing for the license of the Transferred Business IP specified therein to the Seller-Related Parties (the “Seller Holdback

5




License”). The Seller Holdback License shall be retained by comScore-Netherlands and comScore-CI and shall not constitute part of the Transferred Business Assets or otherwise be transferred to the Purchasers in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and the Transferred Business IP shall be subject to the Seller Holdback License upon the terms thereof notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary.
1.7    Delivery of the Transferred Business Assets.
(a)    Electronic Delivery. At the request of the Purchasers, the Sellers shall electronically transfer any of the Transferred Business Assets (including any software) that can be transmitted electronically to the Purchasers or any Designated Adobe Affiliate(s) promptly following the Closing. If any such request is made, the Sellers shall not deliver, and shall ensure that no other Seller-Related Party or Representative of any of the Sellers or any other Seller-Related Party delivers, any such Transferred Business Asset to the Purchasers or any Designated Adobe Affiliate(s) on any tangible medium. Promptly following any electronic transmission of any Transferred Business Asset, the Seller shall execute and deliver to the Purchasers a certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers, duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Sellers by an officer of comScore and certifying, at a minimum, the following information: (i) the date of such electronic submission; (ii) the time such electronic transmission was commenced and the time such electronic transmission was concluded; (iii) a reasonably detailed description of the Transferred Business Assets transferred by means of such electronic transmission; and (iv) a signed statement by the individual who made the transmission to the effect that such information is accurate.
(b)    Deed. The Sellers and the Purchasers hereby acknowledge and agree that to the extent a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any of the Transferred Business Assets or the assumption or delegation of any of the Assumed Business Liabilities pursuant to Dutch law requires a deed (schriftelijke akte), this Agreement shall, effective as of the Closing, constitute such deed.
(c)    Retention of Certain Data and Records. The Seller-Related Parties may retain copies of: (i) the Business Data (for use as permitted pursuant to the terms of the Seller Holdback License); and (ii) the Transferred Business Records.
1.8    Transaction Taxes. The Purchasers shall be liable for any and all sales Taxes, use Taxes, value added Taxes (“VAT”), consumption Taxes, transfer Taxes or similar Taxes, duties, excises, charges or fees, including any and all sales Taxes, use Taxes, VAT, transfer Taxes, or similar Taxes, duties, excises, charges or fees that are imposed on the Purchasers or any Affiliate of the Purchasers that may become payable in connection with or as a result of the transfer of the Transferred Business Assets to the Purchasers or in connection with or as a result of any of the other Contemplated Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, the consideration payable under this Agreement shall be deemed exclusive of any and all VAT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.8, the Sellers (and not the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates) shall pay and be liable for all personal Taxes (e.g., income Taxes, trade Taxes, corporation Taxes and solidarity charges) levied on the Purchase Price by any Governmental Body.
1.9    Allocation. Adobe and comScore shall mutually cooperate in the preparation of a joint schedule allocating the Purchase Price among the Transferred Business Assets and the Retained IP License Agreement (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”). Upon any adjustment to the Purchase Price (including by reason of any Indemnification payments made under Section 9), Adobe and comScore shall mutually cooperate to revise the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule to reflect such adjustment. After the Closing, the parties shall make consistent use of the mutually agreed allocation specified in the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule (as it may be updated from time to time pursuant to this Section 1.9) for all Tax purposes and all filings, declarations and reports with all applicable Tax authorities in respect thereof. If, however, Adobe and comScore are unable to complete such Purchase Price Allocation Schedule within 60

6




days following the Closing Date, or such later date as agreed to by Adobe and comScore, then Adobe and comScore shall file IRS Form(s) 8594 and any foreign, federal, state and local income Tax Returns allocating the Purchase Price among the Transferred Business Assets and the Retained IP License Agreement in the manner each believes is appropriate.  The parties shall promptly advise one another of the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to any allocation hereunder.
1.10    Tax Withholding. The Purchasers shall be entitled to deduct from any payment to be made by the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates to any Seller under this Agreement or any other Transactional Agreement any amount that the Purchasers determine in good faith may be required to be deducted or withheld under any applicable Legal Requirements relating to Taxes.
1.11    Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in each of Section 6 and Section 7, the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place at a time and date (no later than the third Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the last of the conditions set forth in either Section 6 or Section 7 to be satisfied, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) to be selected by the Purchasers, or at such other time as the parties hereto may mutually agree in writing; provided, however, that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties hereto, in no event shall the Closing take place less than 10 Business Days following the delivery of all notices contemplated by Section 4.3(a). The Closing shall take place via conference call and telecopy or electronic mail/PDF. To the extent permitted by Law and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, for Tax and accounting purposes, the parties will treat the Closing as being effective 11:59 p.m. (ET) on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Date” means the date on which the Closing actually takes place.
2.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLERS.
Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule prepared by the Sellers in accordance with Section 10.17 and delivered to the Purchasers prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Sellers jointly and severally represent and warrant, to and for the benefit of the Purchasers and the other Indemnitees (with the understanding and acknowledgement that the Purchasers would not have entered into this Agreement without being provided with the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2 and that the Purchasers are relying on such representations and warranties, and with the further understanding that the Purchasers and the other Indemnitees have indemnification rights with respect to breaches of such representations and warranties as set forth in Section 9), as follows:
2.1    Due Organization; Subsidiaries.
(a)    Part 2.1(a) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies each Seller’s jurisdiction of organization.
(b)    Each of the Sellers is properly registered, duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each of the Sellers other than comScore is a wholly owned (direct or indirect) subsidiary of comScore.
2.2    Financial Statements; Absence of Liabilities.
(a)    Financials. Attached hereto as Part 2.2(a) of the Disclosure Schedule are the following: (i) the modified consolidated balance sheets of the Seller-Related Parties with respect to the Business as of December 31, 2014 and as of June 30, 2015 and statement of operations as of December 31, 2014 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 prepared in accordance with the agreed-upon procedures

7




set forth on Part 2.2(a) of the Disclosure Schedule and (ii) and statement of operations of the Seller-Related Parties with respect to the Business as of the third quarter of 2015 (collectively, the “Business Financial Statements”). The Business Financial Statements: (i) are accurate and complete in all material respects; and (ii) present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Business as of the respective dates thereof.

Each of the Sellers agrees that the Purchaser-Indemnitees’ rights to Indemnification contained in this Section 9 relating to the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Sellers are part of the basis of the bargain contemplated by this Agreement; and such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Purchaser-Indemnitees with respect thereto, shall not be waived, limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of (and the Purchaser-Indemnitees shall be deemed to have relied upon such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations notwithstanding) any knowledge on the part of any of the Purchaser-Indemnitees or any of the Representatives of any of the Purchaser-Indemnitees, regardless of whether obtained through any investigation by any Purchaser-Indemnitee or any Representative of any Purchaser-Indemnitee or through disclosure by any of the Sellers or any other Person, and regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or by reason of the fact that an Purchaser-Indemnitee or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any representation or warranty is or might be inaccurate.
(g)    Disclosure Schedule. For purposes of this Agreement, each statement or other item of information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty set forth and made by the Sellers in the corresponding section of this Agreement (it being understood that each statement or other item of information set forth in a particular numbered and lettered part of the Disclosure Schedule shall be read together with the representation and warranty set forth in the correspondingly numbered and lettered sub-Section of Section 2).

(k)    any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by the Sellers in this Agreement (without giving effect to: (i) any materiality or similar qualification limiting the scope of such representation or warranty (other than with respect to (i) any such qualifier contained in Sections 2.4(a), 2.6(b), 2.10(a), 2.14(a) and 2.18, (ii) the use of the term “Material Governmental Authorization,” and (iii) any such qualifier contained in the definitions set forth in Exhibit A, including the definition of “Permitted Encumbrances”); provided, however, that for representations and/or warranties that contain any materiality or similar qualification limiting the scope of such representation or warranty, including a Material Adverse Effect qualification, such materiality or similar qualification will be given effect for determining if there was any Fraud; or (ii) any update of or modification to the Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made on or after the date of this Agreement);

41




(l)    (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Sellers (A) in this Agreement as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date, or (B) in the Seller Closing Certificate; (in the case of each of clauses “(A)” and “(B),” without giving effect to: (x) any materiality or similar qualification limiting the scope of such representation or warranty (other than with respect to (I) any such qualifier contained in Sections 2.4(a), 2.6(b), 2.10(a), 2.14(a) and 2.18, (II) the use of the term “Material Governmental Authorization” and (III) any such qualifier contained in the definitions set forth in Exhibit A, including the definition of “Permitted Encumbrances”); provided, however, that for representations and/or warranties that contain any materiality or similar qualification limiting the scope of such representation or warranty, including a Material Adverse Effect qualification, such materiality or similar qualification will be given effect for determining if there was any Fraud; or (y) any update of or modification to the Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made on or after the date of this Agreement); or (ii) any inaccuracy in any information set forth in the Closing Business Receivables Schedule;
(m)    any breach of any covenant or obligation of any of the Sellers contained in this Agreement;
(n)    any Liability of any of the Seller-Related Parties, whether arising before or after the Closing (including any Liability in respect of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Period or any of the Contemplated Transactions), other than the Assumed Business Liabilities; or
(o)    any Liability to, and any claim asserted by any Seller Service Provider, Employee Representative, Governmental Body or other Person, in each case, that directly or indirectly arises or is alleged to arise from or as a result of or is or is alleged to be directly or indirectly connected with the actual, deemed or required transfer to or assumption by any of the Purchasers or their Affiliates of the employment or engagement (or any Contracts or Liabilities associated therewith) of any Seller Service Provider by operation of or pursuant to TUPE or any other Service Transfer Regulation or Legal Requirement in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.
9.3    Indemnification by the Purchasers. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 9, from and after the Closing, the Purchasers, jointly and severally, shall hold harmless and indemnify each of the Seller-Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Seller-Indemnitees for, any Damages that are suffered or incurred by any of the Seller-Indemnitees or to which any of the Seller-Indemnitees may otherwise become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any Third-Party Claim) and that arise from or as a result of:
(o)    any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by the Purchasers in this Agreement (without giving effect to any materiality similar qualification limiting the scope of such representation or warranty);
(p)    any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchasers: (i) in this Agreement as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing, or (ii) in the Purchaser Closing Certificate (in the case of each of clauses “(i)” and “(ii),” without giving effect to any materiality or similar qualification limiting the scope of such representation or warranty);
(q)    any breach of any covenant or obligation of any of the Purchasers contained in this Agreement; or

42




(r)    any: (i) Assumed Liability; or (ii) the operation of the Business by the Purchasers after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the indemnity described in this clause “(ii)” be deemed to apply with respect to: (A) any matter, event or circumstance with respect to which the Sellers would be obligated to provide Indemnification pursuant to any provision of Section 9.2 (ignoring, for this purpose, any survival periods, baskets, thresholds, caps and other limitations applicable thereto); (B) any Damages that do not arise from a third-party claim brought against the Seller-Indemnitees following the Closing Date; or (C) any action taken, or any failure to take any action, by any Seller-Related Party in connection the performance of obligations under the Transition Services Agreement with respect to which any Seller-Related Party would be obligated to provide Indemnification to the Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement (ignoring, for this purpose, any survival periods, baskets, thresholds, caps and other limitations applicable thereto).
9.4    Limitations and Other Terms of Indemnification Obligations.
(b)    Baskets and Claim Thresholds.
(i)    The Sellers shall not be required to make any Indemnification payment pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b) for any breach of any General Seller Representation: (A) unless the amount of all Damages from such claim or breach or group of related claims or breaches exceeds $10,000, it being agreed that all Damages relating to a particular fact, event, circumstance or occurrence (or a series of related facts, events, circumstances or occurrences or facts, events, circumstances or occurrences having the same factual or legal basis) shall be aggregated for this purpose; and (B) until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such breach and all other Damages arising from any other breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Purchaser-Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Purchaser-Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds $250,000 (the “Seller Basket Amount”). If the total amount of all Damages exceeds the Seller Basket Amount, then the Purchaser-Indemnitees shall be entitled to Indemnification for the entire amount of such Damages, and not merely the portion of such Damages exceeding the Seller Basket Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the limitations set forth in this Section 9.4(a)(i) shall apply to any breach of or inaccuracy in any Fundamental Seller Representation or IP Representation.
(ii)    The Purchasers shall not be required to make any Indemnification payment pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b) for any breach of any General Purchaser Representation: (A) unless the amount of all Damages from such claim or breach or group of related claims or breaches exceeds $10,000, it being agreed that all Damages relating to a particular fact, event, circumstance or occurrence (or a series of related facts, events, circumstances or occurrences or facts, events, circumstances or occurrences having the same factual or legal basis) shall be aggregated for this purpose; and (B) until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such breach and all other Damages arising from any other breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Seller-Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Seller-Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds $250,000 (the “Purchaser Basket Amount”). If the total amount of all Damages exceeds the Purchaser Basket Amount, then the Seller-Indemnitees shall be entitled to Indemnification for the entire amount of such Damages, and not merely the portion of such Damages exceeding the Purchaser Basket Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the limitations set forth in this Section 9.4(a)(ii) shall apply to any breach of or inaccuracy in any Fundamental Purchaser Representation.

43




(c)    General Representations Caps.
(v)    The maximum aggregate monetary liability of the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b) with respect to inaccuracies in and breaches of General Seller Representations shall not exceed $5,000,000.
(vi)    The maximum aggregate monetary liability of the Purchasers pursuant to Section 9.3(a) and Section 9.3(b) with respect to inaccuracies in and breaches of General Purchaser Representations shall not exceed $5,000,000.
(d)    Service Transfer Indemnity Cap. The maximum aggregate monetary liability of the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.2(e) shall not exceed $5,000,000.
(e)    Intermediate Cap. Without expanding the limitations on liability set forth in Section 9.4(b)(i) or Section 9.4(c), the maximum aggregate monetary liability of the Sellers pursuant to: (i) Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b) with respect to inaccuracies in and breaches of General Seller Representations and/or IP Representations; and (ii) Section 9.2(e) shall not exceed $11,250,000.
(f)    Purchase Price Caps.
(iv)    The maximum aggregate monetary liability of the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.2 shall not exceed the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the limitation contained in this Section 9.4(e)(i) shall not apply to: (A) any Liability under Section 9.2(c) with respect to any breach of any covenant of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement that is not a Seller Pre-Closing Covenant; or (B) any Liability under Section 9.2(d)).
(v)    The maximum aggregate monetary liability of the Purchasers pursuant to Section 9.3 shall not exceed the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the limitation contained in this Section 9.4(e)(ii) shall not apply to: (A) any Liability under Section 9.3(c) with respect to any breach of any covenant of the Purchasers set forth in this Agreement that is not a Purchaser Pre-Closing Covenant; or (B) any Liability under Section 9.3(d)).
(g)    Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any payment made to an Indemnitee under this Section 9 will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, and none of the parties will take any contrary position on any Tax Return, or in any claim, audit, investigation or Legal Proceeding in respect of Taxes, unless otherwise required by law.
(h)    Independent Effect of Indemnities and Limitations; No Double Recovery.
(i)    Subject to Section 9.4(g)(ii), the Purchaser-Indemnitees’ rights to Indemnification pursuant to each of clauses “(a)” through “(e)” of Section 9.2, and the Seller-Indemnitees’ rights to Indemnification pursuant to each of clauses “(a)” through “(d)” of Section 9.3, shall be independent, and the applicability of any of the survival, monetary or other limitations set forth in Section 9.1 or this Section 9.4 to a right to Indemnification under any of such clauses shall not be deemed to imply that such limitation applies to a right to Indemnification under any other of such clauses, whether by virtue of the fact that both clauses pertain to related subject matters or that both rights, as the case may be, arise from or are related to the same events, conditions or circumstance, or for any other reason. For example, a Purchaser-Indemnitee may be entitled to Indemnification for a Liability of the Seller-Related Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(d) with respect to an event, condition or circumstance arising after the 18-month-anniversary of the Closing Date,

44




notwithstanding that such event, condition or circumstance, as the case may be, also would have constituted a breach of a General Seller Representation if it had arisen prior to the 18-month-anniversary of the Closing Date.
(ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.4(g)(i), the availability of Indemnification with respect to a given event, condition or circumstance to: (A) any Purchaser-Indemnitee pursuant to more than one of clauses “(a)” through “(e)” of Section 9.2; (B) any Seller-Indemnitee pursuant to more than one of clauses “(a)” through “(d)” of Section 9.3, or (C) any Indemnitee pursuant to more than one of the Transactional Agreements, in the case of each of clauses “(A),” “(B)” and “(C),” shall not be deemed to permit such Indemnitee recover any monetary payments in excess of the actual Damages suffered or incurred by such Indemnitee or to which such Indemnitee has otherwise become subject.
(i)    Insurance and Other Recoveries. The amount of any Damages suffered or incurred by any Indemnitee or to which such Indemnitee has otherwise become subject arising from a matter subject to Indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to: (i) the amount of any cash payment or other cash benefit actually received by such Indemnitee from a third party under any insurance policy, any Contract providing for any rights to indemnity, contribution or other similar payments, or otherwise, in each case, intended as compensation or reimbursement for the same Damages; minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including any attorney’s fees, deductibles or increases in insurance premiums, retroactive or otherwise, solely to the extent that such increases in insurance premiums are attributable to the Indemnitee claiming such Damages against the insurer or the insurer’s payment to such Indemnitee in respect of such Damages) incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with claiming or collecting the amount referred to in the preceding clause “(i).” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 9.4(h) or elsewhere in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall have any obligation to purchase or maintain any insurance policy or to enter into or maintain any Contract providing for any rights to indemnity, contribution or other similar payments or to pursue the collection of any recoveries or payments under any such insurance policy or Contract, regardless of whether such Indemnitee has suffered or incurred or otherwise become subject to any Damages for which such Indemnitee is entitled to compensation under any such insurance policy or Contract.
(j)    Duty of Mitigation. Nothing set forth in this Section 9 shall be construed to contractually eliminate any duty that an Indemnitee may have under the common law to mitigate such Indemnitee’s Damages.
9.5    Defense of Third-Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against the Purchasers, any of the Sellers or any other Person) with respect to which any Indemnitee may be entitled to Indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 (any such claim or Legal Proceeding, a “Third-Party Claim”) from the applicable Indemnitors, such Indemnitee shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim on its own. If such Indemnitee so proceeds with the defense of any Third-Party Claim:
(a)    subject to the other provisions of Section 9, all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) relating to the defense of any Third-Party Claim, and the amount of any settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof, shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Indemnitors;
(b)    the Indemnitors shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, make available to the Indemnitee any documents and materials in their possession or control that may be needed for the defense of such Third-Party Claim; and

45




(c)    the Indemnitee shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the consent of any of the Indemnitors or any other Person; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee settles, adjusts or compromises any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitors (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), then such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Third-Party Claim.
Each Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitors prompt notice after it becomes aware of the commencement of any Legal Proceeding against the Indemnitee with respect to which the Indemnitee intends to seek Indemnification; provided, however, any failure on the part of the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitors shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnitors, or any of the rights of any Indemnitee, under this Section 9 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Legal Proceeding). If the Indemnitee does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such Legal Proceeding, one or more of the Indemnitors may proceed with the defense of such Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that none of the Indemnitors may settle, adjust or compromise any such Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
9.6    Claim Procedure. Any claim for Indemnification (and, at the option of any Indemnitee, any claim based upon Fraud) pursuant to this Section 9 (any such claim brought pursuant to this Section 9, an “Indemnification Claim”) shall be brought and resolved exclusively as follows:
(d)    If any Indemnitee has or claims in good faith to have incurred, suffered or otherwise become subject to, or believes in good faith that it may incur, suffer or otherwise become subject to, any Damages for which it is or may be entitled to Indemnification under this Section 9 or for which it is or may otherwise be entitled to a monetary remedy relating to this Agreement, such Indemnitee may deliver a claim notice (a “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the applicable Indemnitors. Each Indemnification Claim Notice shall: (i) contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnification Claim; and (ii) if practicable, contain a non-binding, preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Indemnitee might be entitled (the aggregate amount of such estimate, as it may be modified by the Indemnitee in good faith from time to time, being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”).
(e)    During the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Indemnitors of an Indemnification Claim Notice from an Indemnitee (the “Dispute Period”), the Indemnitors may deliver to the Indemnitee a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Indemnitors: (i) agree that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee; (ii) agree that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee; or (iii) indicate that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee. If the Response Notice is delivered in accordance with clause “(ii)” or clause “(iii)” of the preceding sentence, the Response Notice shall also contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnitors’ claim that only a portion or no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, as the case may be. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be owed to the Indemnitee pursuant to the Response Notice (or the entire Claimed Amount, if the Indemnitors assert in the Response Notice that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee) is referred to herein as the “Contested Amount” (it being understood that the Contested Amount shall be modified from time to time to reflect any good faith modifications by the Indemnitee to the Claimed Amount). If a Response Notice is not received by the Indemnitee from the Indemnitors prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Indemnitors shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that an amount equal to the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee.

46




(f)    If the Indemnitors in their Response Notice agree that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, or if no Response Notice is received by the Indemnitee from the Indemnitors prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 9.4, the Indemnitors shall cause to be paid, within 10 Business Days following the earlier of the delivery of such Response Notice or the expiration of the Dispute Period, the Claimed Amount to the Indemnitee.
(g)    If the Indemnitors deliver a Response Notice to the Indemnitee during the Dispute Period agreeing that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee (the “Agreed Amount”), then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 9.4, the Indemnitors shall cause to be paid, within 10 Business Days following the delivery of such Response Notice, the Agreed Amount to the Indemnitee.
(h)    If the Indemnitors deliver a Response Notice to the Indemnitee during the Dispute Period indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Indemnitors and the Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute relating to the Contested Amount. If the Indemnitors and the Indemnitee resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on the Indemnitors and the Indemnitee, and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to the Indemnitee (the “Stipulated Amount”) shall be signed by the Indemnitee and the Indemnitors.

(p)    Further Actions. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Sellers shall cooperate with the Purchasers and the Representatives of the Purchasers, and shall cause to be executed and delivered such documents and take such other actions as the Purchasers may reasonably request, for the purpose of evidencing the Contemplated Transactions and putting the Purchasers or one or more Designated Adobe Affiliates in possession and control of all of the Transferred Business Assets. In the event that, after the Closing, any of the Sellers or any other Seller-Related Party receives any payment in respect of any Transferred Business Receivables, then such Seller shall, and shall cause such other Seller-Related Party to, promptly remit the amount of such payment to the Purchasers.
(q)    Specified Assets.
(i)    If, as of immediately prior to the Closing, the Sellers have not obtained any Consent that is required to be obtained in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions with respect to any Transferred Business Asset, or any required Consent with respect to any Transferred Business Asset that was obtained prior to the Closing is no longer in full force and effect, then such Transferred Business Asset shall not be assigned or transferred to the Purchasers or one or more Designated Adobe Affiliates at the Closing.
(ii)    With respect to each Transferred Business Asset (including any Specified Business Contract) described in the immediately preceding clause “(i)” (other any Excluded Business Contract or Seller Proprietary Rights Contract) (each, a “Specified Asset”), the Sellers shall use their reasonable efforts to obtain each such required Consent as promptly as practicable after the Closing. Until such Consent is obtained, each of the Sellers after the Closing shall, and shall cause the other relevant Seller-Related Parties to, cooperate, with the Purchasers and the Designated Adobe Affiliates in any lawful arrangement designed to provide the Purchasers or one or more Designated Adobe Affiliates with the benefits of such Specified Asset at a cost to the Purchasers and the Designated Adobe Affiliates, considered collectively, not in excess of the cost the Purchasers would have incurred (without modification to the terms of any Contract) if the Consent had been obtained prior to the Closing. If all such Consents with respect to any Specified Asset are obtained after the Closing Date, then, on the date the last such Consent is obtained (the “Consent Achievement Time”): (A) such Specified Asset shall be deemed to have been assigned and transferred to the applicable Purchaser or one or more Designated Adobe Affiliates, and (B) with respect to a Specified Asset that would have been an Assumed Business Contract had such Consents been obtained prior to the Closing, the applicable Purchaser or one or more Designated Adobe Affiliates shall assume as of the Consent Achievement Time, and agree to discharge and perform as and when due, the ongoing obligations of the Sellers under such Contract, but only: (1) to the extent that such obligations: (w) arise and accrue after the Consent Achievement Time; (x) do not arise from or relate to any breach by any of the Seller-Related Parties of any provision of such Contract; (y) do not arise from or relate to any event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing on or prior to the Consent Achievement Time that, with or without notice or lapse of time, would reasonably be expected to constitute or

(r)    Excluded Business Contracts. With respect to each Excluded Business Contract, unless otherwise requested by the Purchasers, the Sellers shall, and shall cause each other applicable Seller-Related Party to: (i) use their reasonable best efforts to: (A) if such Contract is exclusively related to the Business or the Transferred Business Assets, cause such Contract to be terminated as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing; and (B) if such Contract is not exclusively related to the Business or the Transferred Business Assets, cause such Contract to be amended as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing so as to no longer relate to the Business or any of the Transferred Business Assets; and (ii) not amend, expand, renew, extend, waive or otherwise modify any rights, obligations or any other terms or provisions of such Contract that related to the Business or the Transferred Business Assets without the prior written consent of the Purchasers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers may, and may permit the applicable Seller-Related Party to, destroy or dispose of any books and records without the Purchasers’ prior written consent if: (A) the Purchasers are furnished with accurate and complete copies of such books and records in reasonably accessible form prior to such destruction or disposition; and (B) the Purchasers are entitled to retain and use such books and records at least until 11:59 p.m. California time on the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date.

The proration amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within 10 days after delivery of such statement.

No Person shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Person; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement, unless the applicable part of the Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. The mere listing of a document or other item in, or attachment of a copy thereof to, the Disclosure Schedule will not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement (unless the representation or warranty pertains directly to the existence of the document or other item itself).

Recipient may elect to suspend or cease receiving all or any part of the Services at any time upon not less than 60 days written notice to Provider, including with respect to any one or more individual Business Customer(s).

Such meeting shall be held within five (5) Business Days of the date of request for further escalation under the preceding sentence.
3.9    Continued Operations. As part of the Services, as further described on Schedule A, Provider shall ensure that each of the following is complied with (however, for the avoidance of doubt, in fulfilling its obligations under this Section 2.9, Provider will not be required to violate or in any way breach any provision of any Business Customer Contract):

(iii)    Upon the request of Recipient, but not more frequently than once per month, Provider shall provide to Recipient a written performance report, in form reasonably satisfactory to Recipient, that details Provider’s performance in the preceding months against the service levels set forth in this Agreement (including the service levels noted in Section 2.3 and Section 2.9(d)(i), “Service Level”), and highlights any failures to meet such Service Levels, as well as any communicated instances of dissatisfaction by any Business Customer that relates to any of the Services.
(iv)    If Provider fails to meet any Service Level and such failure results in a credit, refund, or other liability under a Business Customer Contract (excluding failures caused by any Recipient Group member through no fault of Provider or any Third Party Provider) (each such failure, a “Service Level Failure”), Provider shall pay to Recipient, by the date 30 days after the end of the month in which the Service Level Failure occurred, the amount of the credit, refund, or other liability required under such Business Customer Contract, as further described on Schedule A, for such Service Level Failure (“Service Level Credit”). Provider shall deduct the Service Level Credits from the amount of Provider’s next invoice.

For clarity, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making Provider a guarantor of payment for uncollected amounts under any Business Customer Contract or Non-Assumed Business Customer Contract.
(g)    Except as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, Provider shall maintain and keep available all Seller IT Systems and all facilities, personnel, suppliers, and other resources at the levels as maintained and available during the Reference Period for the Business.

During the Term, Provider and its Affiliates shall, promptly upon Recipient’s reasonable request (i) provide, for the purpose of planning for and facilitating the transition and integration of the Business into Recipient’s and its Affiliates’ existing operations and businesses (including the existing data analytics business of the Provider and its Affiliates) and the provision of services by the Provider, its Affiliates, and their Representatives and Seller Service Providers under this Agreement (the “Purpose”), to the Recipient and its respective Representatives reasonable access (including copies of) (which, in the case of items that are in or can be readily converted into digital form, may be achieved by making such item available in the Data Room): (A) to any Assets, books, records, work papers and other documents of the Provider and its Affiliates that are Business-Related; and (B) to the then-current Business Service Providers and (to the extent related to the Business or the Transferred Business Assets, any other Representatives) of Provider and its Affiliates; and (ii) Provider, its Affiliates, and their Representatives shall compile such additional financial, operating and other data and information relating to the Business or the Transferred Business Assets as Recipient may reasonably request in good faith for the Purpose, and shall provide reasonable access to (including copies of) such data and information as described in the preceding clause “(i).”

All Confidential Information made available by a party (the “Disclosing Party”) remains the property of the Disclosing Party. Recipient Data constitutes Confidential Information of Recipient. The party receiving Confidential Information from the Disclosing Party (the “Receiving Party”) may disclose the Confidential Information of Disclosing Party only to Receiving Party’s employees and contractors who need to know the Confidential Information for purposes of performing under this Agreement or transitioning the Business to Recipient, and who are bound by confidentiality agreements at least as protective as this Section 5.

Receiving Party will, and will cause its Affiliates to, take measures to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information equivalent to those measures Receiving Party uses to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like importance but in no event less than reasonable measures. Receiving Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, give immediate notice to Disclosing Party of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of which Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates becomes aware and agrees to reasonably assist, at Disclosing Party’s expense, Disclosing Party in remedying such unauthorized use or disclosure.

C-10

 

Party shall return to Disclosing Party all tangible copies of Confidential Information in Receiving Party’s possession or control and will erase from its computer systems all electronic copies thereof.
6.2    Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations of Section 5.1 do not extend to Confidential Information which (a) becomes part of the public domain without the fault of Receiving Party; (b) is rightfully obtained by Receiving Party after the Effective Date from a third party with the right to transfer such information without obligation of confidentiality; or (c) is independently developed by Receiving Party after the Effective Date without reference to or use of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as evidenced by written records. In addition, Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information as may be required by law, a court order, or a governmental agency with jurisdiction, provided that before making such a disclosure, to the extent permitted and practicable, Receiving Party first notifies Disclosing Party to give Disclosing Party an opportunity to seek confidential treatment or seek a protective order or otherwise limit such disclosure, and reasonably cooperates (at Disclosing Party’s expense) with Disclosing Party if Disclosing Party does so. Receiving Party will have the burden of proving the applicability of any of the above exceptions that Receiving Party claims may apply. If any portion of the Confidential Information falls within any of the above exceptions, the exception will apply only to that specific portion and the remainder of the Confidential Information will continue to be subject to the confidentiality requirements of this Agreement.
6.3    Systems Access. Provider shall (and shall cause its Provider Personnel to): (a) not attempt to obtain access to, use or interfere with any information technology systems of Recipient or other Recipient Group members, or any data owned, used or processed by Recipient or other Recipient Group members, except to the extent required to provide or receive Services or otherwise provided in the APA or this Agreement; (b) maintain reasonable security measures to protect the systems of Recipient or other Recipient Group member to which it has access pursuant to this Agreement from access by unauthorized third parties, and any “back door”, “time bomb”, “Trojan Horse”, “worm”, “drop dead device”, “virus” or other computer software routine intended or designed to permit access or use of information technology systems by a third party other than as expressly authorized by Recipient or other Recipient Group member; (c) not disable, damage or erase or disrupt or impair the normal operation of the information technology systems of Recipient or other Recipient Group member; and (d) when accessing the systems or facilities of Recipient or other Recipient Group member, comply with the reasonable security policies and procedures of Recipient or other Recipient Group member that are provided to Provider (as may be updated from time to time in the ordinary course of business).

If Recipient requests at any time, Provider shall destroy all copies of Recipient Data in Provider’s possession or control and after such requested destruction shall be relieved of obligations under this Agreement that require use of or access to such destroyed Recipient Data, unless and until Recipient provides another copy of such Recipient Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider may retain copies of all such Recipient Data to the extent required under Legal Requirements. Provider shall not withhold any Recipient Data as a means of resolving any dispute. Provider shall not use Recipient Data for any purpose other than that of rendering Services under this Agreement or as necessary to comply with Legal Requirements or to assert or defend in any Legal Proceeding its rights under this Agreement, under any Business Customer Contract, or with respect to allegations by third parties of Provider’s failure to comply with applicable privacy policies or Legal Requirements. Provider shall not sell, assign, lease, dispose of or otherwise exploit Recipient Data. Provider shall not possess or assert any lien or other right against or to Recipient Data. In the event that Provider has or acquires any right, title or interest in or to any Recipient Data, Provider shall, and hereby does, assign any and all such right, title and interest to Recipient.

6.5    Safeguarding Data. Provider shall establish, maintain, and comply with environmental, safety and facility procedures, information security programs, data security practices, and other safeguards against the destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized access or disclosure of Recipient Data and Customer Account Data in the possession or control of Provider that are (a) in conformance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement and applicable Legal Requirements, (b) at least as rigorous as the safeguards used by Provider in the conduct of the Business prior to the Effective Date, and (c) no less rigorous than those maintained by Provider for its own information of a similar nature. If at any time, due to any act or omission of Provider or any Provider Personnel, any natural person is required to be notified of any unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of any personally-identifiable data or information pertaining to that natural person, then Provider will pay (or reimburse Recipient for) all costs of such notifications and the cost of providing a credit monitoring and identity theft protection service for that natural person for a period of 12 months.
6.6    Security Incident. In the event Provider become aware of any Security Incident, Provider shall promptly notify Recipient of such Security Incident, shall investigate such Security Incident, and shall provide reasonable cooperation with Recipient (or Recipient Group member, if applicable) and any Governmental Body, if applicable, in investigating such Security Incident. Recipient and Provider shall reasonably cooperate with respect to the timing and content of notices to customers or prospective customers and/or the general public of such Security Incident, and the implementation of the remediation plan with respect to such Security Incident, except as otherwise required under Legal Requirements. “Security Incident means any activity that compromises, or would reasonably be expected to compromise, physical security or systems security (a) pursuant to which any applicable Legal Requirement requires notification of such breach to be given to affected Persons or other action in response to such circumstance; or (b) in a manner that either does or could reasonably be expected to allow unauthorized disclosure of or access to Recipient Data or Customer Account Data in connection with the Services.
6.7    Data Integrity. Provider shall use reasonable efforts to maintain the integrity, and prevent the destruction, corruption or loss, of all Recipient Data and Customer Account Data in the possession or control of Provider or any Provider Personnel. In the event any Recipient Data or Customer Account Data in the possession or control of Provider or any Provider Personnel is destroyed, corrupted or lost in the course of Provider providing Services, Provider shall recreate or restore such Recipient Data and Customer Account Data as promptly as practicable, provided that Provider will not be responsible for the costs of recreation of Recipient Data or Customer Account Data to the extent that the destruction, corruption, or loss of such data was caused by Recipient Group personnel accessing Provider’s systems on which such data was stored.
6.8    Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other party would suffer irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy if there were a breach by such party or any of its Affiliates of obligations under this Section 5. Each party further acknowledges and agrees that equitable relief, including injunctive relief, would be appropriate to protect the non-breaching party’s and its Affiliates’ rights and interests if such a breach were to arise, be threatened, or be asserted, and the non-breaching party and its Affiliates will be entitled to the entry of an order for immediate injunctive relief.

(e)    Without limiting the assignments set forth above, Provider shall and hereby does, on behalf of itself and all Provider Personnel, grant to Recipient and its Affiliates a nonexclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid, royalty-free, freely-transferable license, under all Intellectual Property Rights owned or Licensable (as defined in the Retained IP License Agreement) by Provider, to: (i) make, have made, use, sell, import, execute, install, reproduce, modify, prepare derivative works based on, display, perform, distribute, transmit, disclose, and otherwise exploit in any manner (A) all Work Product that is not assigned to Recipient under Section 6.2(b), (B) all Recipient Data that is not assigned to Recipient under Section 5.4(c), (C) all Shared Business IP, (D) all deliverables furnished to Recipient under this Agreement in the course of providing the Services (as described on Schedule A), and (E) all updates, modifications, and derivatives of each of the foregoing created, invented or otherwise developed in the course of performing Services (collectively, “Provider IP”); and (ii) sublicense others to do any or all of the foregoing or grant further sublicenses to same.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the license granted in this Section 6.2(d) to (1) the Intellectual Property described in clause “(i)(C)” and clause “(i)(D)” above and (2) the Intellectual Property described in clause “(i)(E)” that constitutes an update, modification, or derivative of any of the Intellectual Property described in clause “(i)(C)” or “(i)(D)” above is limited to the conduct of the Business.
(f)    Except as otherwise approved by Recipient in writing, Provider shall not use or incorporate or embody in any Work Product any third-party materials, other than Provider IP, with respect to which Provider cannot assign all rights in accordance with Section 6.2(b) (“Third Party Material”) or license rights in accordance with Section 6.2(d). If, in accordance with Recipient’s prior written approval, Third Party Material is incorporated into Work Product, then Provider at its own expense (or as otherwise specified on Schedule A) shall secure either: (i) a written assignment in a form reasonably acceptable to Recipient conveying to Recipient all Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Third Party Material and that is duly executed by the person who owns or is otherwise authorized to convey such Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Rights (“Third Party Provider”); or (ii) a written license from such Third Party Provider granting Recipient and its Affiliates rights to the Third Party Material in a form substantially to the same as the license rights set out in Section 6.2(d). Provider shall provide Recipient with original execution copies of any assignment or license secured by Provider under this Section 6.2(e).
(g)    Recipient will retain all of Recipient’s and its Affiliates’ Intellectual Property Rights in any Intellectual Property licensed or provided to Provider by Recipient or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement (“Recipient Materials”). Provider will obtain no right or license in and to the Recipient Materials except solely as necessary for Provider to perform Services. Any modifications, derivative works, improvements (whether patentable or not) to the Recipient Materials that is made by Provider or Provider Personnel under this Agreement will be deemed Work Product owned by Recipient.

8.2    Indemnification by Recipient. Recipient agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Provider Indemnitee”) from and against any liability, cost, damage, expense or loss (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) which any Provider Indemnitee may sustain or incur by reason of any claim, demand, suit or recovery by any third party resulting from any third party claim arising as a result of:
(f)    any breach of Recipient’s obligations of confidentiality under this Agreement; or
(g)    any act of, or negligence, fraud or willful default on the part of any Recipient Group member personnel in accessing the facilities, systems or records of Provider.
8.3    Each party seeking indemnification or defense under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 (“Indemnified Party”) will notify the other party (“Indemnifying Party”) promptly in writing of any action for which it will seek indemnification or defense hereunder. Each Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party sole control of the defense and settlement of any such action, except that the Indemnifying Party will not enter into a settlement of any such action that would impose liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent. Each Indemnified Party will cooperate and, at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable request and sole expense, assist in such defense.
8.4    Insurance. Provider shall maintain at least the same types of insurance policies and amounts of insurance coverage for the Business as Provider maintained for the Business during the Reference Period. In the event of any modification, termination, expiration, non-renewal or cancellation of any of such insurance policies, Provider shall give written notice thereof to Recipient not more than 30 days following Provider’s receipt of such notification.

For clarity, if a requirement to pay additional amounts or to assume additional material obligations to the owner of an item of Intellectual Property or an Intellectual Property Right would arise based on the grant of an exclusive license and not on the grant of a non-exclusive license, then such Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Right will be deemed Licensable but the licenses granted under this Agreement to or under

5.3    “Licensed Patents” means: (a) any and all Patents, Licensable by Licensor or any of its Affiliates, that are in existence on the Effective Date (including pending patent applications) and that: (i) would (but for the licenses granted herein) be infringed by the conduct of the Business; (ii) are Business-Related; or (iii) are embodied in or would (but for the licenses granted herein) be infringed by any Business Product; and (b) any and all Trailing Patents that: (i) would (but for the licenses granted herein) be infringed by the conduct of the Business; (ii) are Business-Related; or (iii) are embodied in or would (but for the licenses granted herein) be infringed by any Business Product.

or embodying the Licensed IP; (iii) use and perform any method or process embodied in the Licensed IP; and (iv) otherwise practice and exploit the Licensed IP in every manner.
(b)    Patent License Grant. Licensor, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates hereby grants to Licensee and each of its Affiliates an irrevocable, worldwide, freely-transferable, royalty-free, and fully paid-up license (or sublicense as applicable), in each case with the right to grant sublicenses through one or multiple levels of sublicensees, under the Licensed Patents, in all fields to: (i) use, develop, make, have made, sell, offer to sell, import, lease, and otherwise exploit any product or service; (ii) use any method or process in manufacturing, developing, or using any product or performing any service; and (iii) otherwise practice the inventions claimed in the Licensed Patents in every manner.

(c)    Transferred Business IP. If for any reason any Transferred Business IP is not owned by Licensee immediately after the Closing, then such Transferred Business IP will be deemed part of the Licensed IP (and if such Transferred Business IP constitutes a Patent, it will be deemed part of the Licensed Patents) and will be licensed under the terms of this Section 2.1, unless and until that Transferred Business IP becomes owned by Licensee.
6.2    Exclusivity. To the extent any Licensed IP or Licensed Patent is used primarily in or is primarily related to the Business, the licenses granted in Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b) are exclusive to Licensee and each of Licensee’s Affiliates (without reservation) in the field of any business or activity that is conducted (as of the Closing Date) as part of the Business (the “Exclusive Field”). Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the licenses granted in Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b) are non-exclusive to Licensee and Licensee’s Affiliates in all fields. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, practice or exploit any of the Licensed IP or Licensed Patents, or authorize any third party to practice or exploit any of the Licensed IP or Licensed Patents, in the Exclusive Field, except for those rights that Licensee grants in writing to Licensor.
6.3    Intellectual Property. Licensee (or its Affiliate or designee, as applicable) retains exclusive ownership of all rights in and to all derivative works, modifications, improvements, updates, new versions, and related Intellectual Property Rights developed or created by or on behalf of Licensee or any of its Affiliates with regard to the Licensed IP and Licensed Patents (and inventions claimed or disclosed therein).
6.4    Capture Period. Except for Intellectual Property provided under Section 3 (Source Code Delivery) or the Transition Services Agreement, (a) the licenses granted in Section 2.1(a) (Technology License Grant) do not grant rights to or under Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights developed or acquired by Licensor (or its Affiliates) after the Closing Date; and (b) the licenses granted in Section 2.1(b) (Patent License Grant) do not grant rights to or under patents issued after the Closing Date, other than Trailing Patents.
6.5    No Effect on Public Domain Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not, and does not purport to, impose any restrictions or obligations (including restrictions

D-3



    


arising as a result of an exclusive license grant) with respect to Licensed IP that does not embody or infringe upon an Intellectual Property Right or is otherwise in the public domain. Each party will be free to exploit in any manner Licensed IP that does not embody or infringe upon an Intellectual Property Right or is otherwise in the public domain.
6.6    No Implied Rights. Without limiting the express licenses and covenants set forth herein, no license or permission shall be deemed to exist, by implication or course of conduct, with respect to Intellectual Property Rights that are subject to or arise out of this Agreement.
7.    SOURCE CODE DELIVERY.

In addition, upon the expiration or termination of the Transition Services Agreement, and as otherwise set out in this Section 3, Licensor shall deliver to Licensee all Source Code described in the preceding sentence as such Source Code has been updated or modified under the Transition Services Agreement, along with all other Source Code developed by Licensor (or its Affiliates) under the Transition Services Agreement, and such deliveries shall include all associated derivative works, modifications, improvements, updates, and new versions of such Source Code. Each delivery of this Source Code will be in a form readable by reasonably-skilled programmers. In addition, during the period from the Effective Date until the date 24 months after the Effective Date, Licensor shall make available for secure online access by Licensee in Licensor’s Subversion source code repository all Source Code described above in this Section 3. All Source Code delivered under this Section 3 will constitute part of the Licensed IP (except to the extent such Source Code is owned by Licensee or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, or otherwise).
8.    COVENANT NOT TO ASSERT. Licensor agrees that it shall not, and it shall ensure that each of its Affiliates and each of their respective successors and assigns does not, assert any claim (including any counterclaim or crossclaim in a lawsuit) of infringement (whether direct or indirect, including contributory infringement and inducing infringement) of any Licensed IP or any Licensed Patent against any of Licensee or any of its Affiliates with respect to any of the activities covered by the licenses set forth in Section 2.1.
9.    PROSECUTION AND ENFORCEMENT.
9.1    Enforcement. Licensor will promptly notify Licensee if Licensor becomes aware of any known or suspected infringement of any Licensed Patent or Licensed IP within the Exclusive Field. Such notice will include the identity of the party or parties known or suspected to have infringed the Licensed Patent or Licensed IP and any available information that is relevant to such infringement. Licensee will have sole control over enforcement and defense of the Licensed Patents and Licensed IP against third-party infringers within the Exclusive Field. If Licensee asserts or files any claim (including counterclaims), suit, or action (a “Claim”) against any such third-party infringer, Licensor will cooperate with Licensee, at Licensee’s request, in enforcing or defending such Claim, including joining as a party to such suit or action. Licensee will be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and legal fees incurred by Licensor in connection with any Claim. Licensee will be entitled to all damages awarded as a result of or agreed to in a monetary

D-4



    


settlement of any Claim. Nothing in this Section 5.1 will obligate Licensee to enforce or defend any Licensed Patent.
9.2    Transferred Business IP. As the owner of the Transferred Business IP and other Transferred Business Assets under the Purchase Agreement, Licensee will have sole control over (a) the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Transferred Business IP and other Transferred Business Assets and (b) enforcement and defense of the Transferred Business IP and other Transferred Business Assets.
10.    TERM. This Agreement will take effect on the Effective Date and will remain in effect (a) for the duration of the period specified in Section 2.1(b) with respect to the Licensed Patents and (b) with respect to all other Licensed IP, for as long as such Licensed IP embodies or would infringe upon an Intellectual Property Right. This Agreement may not be terminated by Licensor. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice to Licensor.
11.    GENERAL
11.1    Further Assurances. Each party agrees to take such actions and execute such documents as are reasonably requested by the other party (including providing executed documents in such recordable form as is deemed required or necessary by the other party) to effect the purposes of this Agreement.
