ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMER

4.1. Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. Compuware does not, in this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document contemplated by this Agreement, make any representation as to, warranty of or covenant with respect to:

(a) the value of any asset or thing of value transferred, or to be transferred, to Covisint;

(b) the absence of defenses or freedom from counterclaims with respect to any claim transferred, or to be transferred, to Covisint hereunder; provided, however, that neither Compuware nor its Subsidiaries have any counterclaims with respect to any claim transferred, or to be transferred, to Covisint; or

The Transferred Assets, together with the rights provided under the Shared Services Agreement and the Intellectual Property Agreement, shall enable Covisint to operate the Covisint Business after the Closing in substantially the same manner as operated prior to such transfer. The transfer of the Transferred Assets will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the Transferred Assets, or any agreement or instrument to which any Covisint Entity is a party or by any Covisint Entity is bound or to which any of the Transferred Assets are subject, except where such breach, violation, default or imposition would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, business or properties of the Covisint Entities taken as a whole.

4.3. Disclaimer of Liabilities. All assets and liabilities transferred or assigned, or to be transferred or assigned, to Covisint hereunder have been, or shall be, as the case may be, transferred on an “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS” basis WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND OTHER THAN AS EXPLICITLY SET FORTH HEREIN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF INCOME POTENTIAL, USES, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, and Compuware disclaims and renounces, and Covisint expressly acknowledges and agrees to the disclaimer and renunciation of, any such representations or warranties. In addition, Covisint specifically acknowledges that it is not relying on any representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, from Compuware in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

CERTAIN AGREEMENTS AND COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

5.1. Inability to Transfer Assets.

(a) If and to the extent that the transfer to Covisint of any Transferred Asset from Compuware would be a violation of applicable laws or agreements or require any consent or governmental approval in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that has not been obtained by the Effective Time (a “Transfer Impediment”), then, unless the Parties shall otherwise determine, the transfer or assignment to Covisint of such Transferred Asset shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer shall be null and void until such time as all relevant Transfer Impediments are removed or obtained, as applicable, and Compuware shall not be obligated to transfer such asset except as provided in Section 5.1(b) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such asset shall still be considered a Transferred Asset for purposes of determining whether any Liability is an Assumed Liability, including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 5.3 below.

(b) If the transfer or assignment of any asset intended to be transferred or assigned hereunder is not consummated prior to or on the Effective Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 5.1(a) or for any other reason, then Compuware shall hold such asset for the use and benefit, insofar as reasonably possible and not in violation of a Transfer Impediment, of Covisint (at the expense of Covisint) and shall take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Covisint in order to place Covisint, insofar as reasonably possible and

 

-9-


not in violation of a Transfer Impediment, in the same position as if such asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such asset, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such asset, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to Covisint. If and when a Transfer Impediment which caused the deferral of a transfer of any asset pursuant to Section 5.1(a) is removed or obtained, as applicable, the transfer of the applicable asset shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Parties shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts, without the requirement to make any payment or make a material concession, to remove or obtain, as applicable, any Transfer Impediment which prohibits the transfer or assignment of assets hereunder.

5.2. Inability to Assign Liabilities. If the assignment of an Assumed Liability to Covisint hereunder is prohibited by a Transfer Impediment, Compuware shall continue to be bound by the relevant obligations and, unless not permitted by law or the terms of the relevant obligation, Covisint shall, as agent or subcontractor for Compuware, pay, perform and discharge fully, or cause to be paid, transferred or discharged all the obligations or other liabilities of Compuware thereunder. Compuware shall, without further consideration, pay and remit, or cause to be paid or remitted, to Covisint promptly all money, rights and other consideration received by it in respect of such performance (unless any such consideration is an Excluded Asset). If and when such Transfer Impediment is removed or obtained, as applicable, or such obligations shall otherwise become assignable, the transfer of the applicable liability shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Parties shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts, without the requirement to make any payment or make a material concession, to remove or obtain, as applicable, any Transfer Impediment, which prohibits the assignment of any Assumed Liability hereunder.

5.3. Indemnification by Covisint.

(a) Covisint shall indemnify, defend (or, where applicable, pay the defense costs for) and hold harmless Compuware, and each Compuware Entity, together with each of their respective directors, officers and employees (collectively, the “Compuware Indemnified Persons”) from and against, and shall reimburse such Compuware Indemnified Person with respect to, any and all Losses that any Third Party seeks to impose upon the Compuware Indemnified Persons, or which are imposed upon the Compuware Indemnified Persons and that relate to, arise or result from: (i) any failure of Covisint to discharge any Assumed Liabilities; or (ii) any breach by Covisint of its obligations under this Section 5.3.

(b) If any Third Party notifies a Compuware Indemnified Person with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnity against Covisint under Section 5.3(a), then the Compuware Indemnified Person will promptly give written notice to Covisint; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Compuware Indemnified Person in notifying Covisint will relieve Covisint from any obligation under this Section 5.3 except to the extent such delay prejudices Covisint. Covisint will be entitled to control the defense of any Third Party Claim. In addition, Covisint will have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim for which it does not assume control. A Compuware Indemnified Person may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim for which Covisint has assumed control. If

 

-10-


Covisint does not elect to control the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Compuware Indemnified Person will control the defense of the Third Party Claim. A Compuware Indemnified Person will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Covisint (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) The indemnification provisions of this Section 5.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for all Compuware Indemnified Persons following the Effective Date with respect to any matter arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.4. Further Assurances. Each of Compuware and Covisint agrees to duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including, without limitation, the execution of such additional assignments, agreements, documents and instruments, that may be necessary or as the other Party hereto may at any time and from time to time reasonably request in connection with this Agreement or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of, or to better assure and confirm unto such other Party its rights and remedies under, this Agreement.

Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of this letter agreement (“Letter Agreement”), the parties agree as follows:

 

  1. Effective as of January 1, 2013, Schedule 2.1(a)(i) of the Contribution Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the revised Schedule 2.1(a)(i) attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

  2. The remainder of the Contribution Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

The terms of this Letter Agreement amend and modify the Contribution Agreement as if fully set forth therein. This Letter Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement.
