2.10 Non-Assignment; Consents.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to, and none of the Seller Entities shall be required to, sell, assign, transfer or convey any Purchased Asset if any sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance thereof (or any attempt to do any of the foregoing) would be prohibited by Law or would, without the approval, authorization or consent of, filing with, notification to, or granting or issuance of any license, order, waiver or permit by, any third party or Governmental Entity (i) constitute a breach or other contravention thereof, (ii) be ineffective, void or voidable or (iii) materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Seller Entities, the Purchaser Parties or any of their respective officers, directors, agents or Affiliates (collectively, “Approvals” and such Purchased Assets, collectively, the “Non-Assignable Assets”), unless and until such Approval is obtained, it being understood that the Parties’ obligations to effect the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including Purchaser’s obligation to pay the full Aggregate Consideration at the Closing, are not conditioned upon the receipt of such Approvals, other than the Antitrust Approvals that are conditions to the Closing pursuant to Section 7.1(a).

(b) The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts, (i) prior to the Closing and for a period of one (1) year following the Closing, to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any Approval (other than Antitrust Approvals, which shall be governed by Section 5.1) (the “Non-Antitrust Approvals”) required to sell, assign, transfer or convey any Non-Assignable Asset and (ii) prior to the Closing, to identify any vendor services reasonably necessary to conduct the Business in substantially the same manner as conducted by Seller prior to the Closing, and obtain, or cause to be obtained, any approvals or consents of any vendors required for the provision of any Services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA Approvals”); provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Seller, the Purchaser Parties or their respective Affiliates shall be obligated to pay any amounts or provide other consideration to any third party in connection with obtaining or seeking to obtain any Non-Antitrust Approvals or TSA Approvals. If such Non-Antitrust Approval is not obtained prior to the Closing, from the Closing until the earliest of (x) such time as such Non-Antitrust Approval is obtained, (y) one (1) year following the Closing Date and (z) with respect to a Business Contract, the earlier of the expiration of the term of such Business Contract in accordance with its current term or the execution of a replacement Contract by Purchaser, Parent or their Affiliate, Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser Parties, and the Purchaser Parties will cooperate with Seller, in any permissible arrangement (including, if applicable, a subcontracting, licensing or transition services arrangement) reasonably acceptable to the Parties intended to provide the Purchaser Parties, to the fullest extent practicable, the claims, rights, benefits and burdens of any such Non-Assignable Assets.

 

24


(c) In consideration of the foregoing, Purchaser will assume all burdens of, and will promptly pay or discharge when due, any liability (including any liability for Taxes) arising under or with respect to any such Non-Assignable Asset after the Closing. When the requisite Non-Antitrust Approval is obtained, the applicable Purchased Asset will be deemed to have been automatically assigned and transferred to Purchaser on the terms set forth in this Agreement for no additional consideration and without the requirement of any further action of any Person, as of the Closing, except to the extent that the date of such Non-Antitrust Approval is deemed by applicable Law to have occurred on another date, in which case, as of such date.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither Seller nor its Affiliates shall be required to commence litigation against any customer, licensor or other Contract counterparty and (ii) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to extend or renew any Contract.

(e) Subject to Seller’s obligations under Section 2.10(b), neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any Liability whatsoever to the Purchaser Parties arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Approvals that may be required in connection with the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the termination of any Contract as a result thereof. Subject to Seller’s obligations under Section 2.10(b), the Purchaser Parties acknowledge that no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached solely as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any Approval, (ii) any such termination of a Contract or (iii) any Proceeding commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such Approval or any such termination.

(f) Any Shared Contract shall be assigned, transferred and conveyed to Purchaser only with respect to (and preserving the meaning of) those parts that are exclusively related to the Business, if so assignable, transferable or conveyable, or appropriately amended prior to, on or after the Closing, so that Purchaser shall be entitled to the rights and benefits of those parts of the Shared Contract that are exclusively related to the Business and Purchaser shall assume all burdens thereof and the related portion of any Liabilities, and the provisions of Section 2.10(a) through Section 2.10(e) shall apply to such Shared Contract, mutatis mutandis.

(g) From and after the Closing, for so long as the Seller Entities hold any Purchased Assets or are parties to any Shared Contracts and provide Purchaser any claims, rights and benefits of any such Purchased Asset or Shared Contract pursuant to an arrangement described in Section 2.10(a) through Section 2.10(c), Purchaser shall indemnify and hold such Seller Entities and their respective Affiliates harmless from and against all Losses (excluding consequential damages in respect of such Losses (other than in respect of Losses arising from third party claims)) incurred or asserted as a result of a Seller Entity’s or any such Affiliate’s or their respective Affiliate’s post-Closing direct or indirect ownership, management or operation (including, if applicable, any subcontracting, licensing or transition services arrangement) of any such Purchased Assets or Shared Contracts (to the extent related to the Business).

(h) Without limiting any of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the transfer or assignment to Purchaser of any Purchased Asset or any part of a Shared Contract that shall require a Non-Antitrust Approval as described above in this Section 2.10 shall be conditioned upon the receipt of such Non-Antitrust Approval.

 

25


2.11 Withholding. The Purchaser Parties shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Purchaser Parties are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable provision of Law; provided, however, the Purchaser Parties shall provide Seller with a written notice of any withholding the Purchaser Parties determine, acting in good faith, is so required, including the amounts the Purchaser Parties intend to deduct and withhold (and the basis for such deduction or withholding), at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to any such withholding, and the Purchaser Parties and Seller (and their respective Affiliates) shall cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to minimize any such Taxes (including providing a reasonable opportunity for Seller to provide such forms or other evidence that would eliminate or reduce any such Taxes). To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the applicable Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

Except as set forth in, or qualified by any matter set forth in, the Seller Disclosure Schedules (it being agreed that the disclosure of any matter in any section or subsection in the Seller Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be disclosed for all purposes of this Agreement as long as the relevance of such disclosure to the other sections or subsections of this Agreement is reasonably apparent), Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser Parties as follows:

3.1 Organization, Standing and Power. Seller and each Seller Entity is duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization, and each Seller Entity has all necessary organizational power and authority to own, lease and operate the Purchased Assets and carry on the Business as presently conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing, or to have such power or authority would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Business, taken as a whole, or materially impair or materially delay the ability of Seller or each Seller Entity to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

3.2 Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Seller has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which it will be a party and to consummate, and to cause each Seller Entity to consummate, the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement and the consummation by Seller and the Seller Entities of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action of Seller. Seller has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser Parties, this Agreement will constitute its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any Laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or preferential transfers, or similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a Proceeding in equity or at

 

26


law) (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”). Upon the execution and delivery by Seller or a Seller Entity of the other Transaction Documents to which it is or will be a party, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, such other Transaction Documents will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller or such Seller Entity enforceable against Seller or such Seller Entity in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

3.3 No Conflicts; Consents. The execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement, and the execution and delivery by Seller or each Seller Entity of each other Transaction Document to which it is or will be a party, does not, and the consummation of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation under or result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the Purchased Assets under, any provision of (a) the Organizational Documents of Seller or the Seller Entities, (b) any Judgment or Law applicable to Seller, the Seller Entities, the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities or (c) any Material Contract, Transferred Lease or Transferred Permit, except, in the case of clause (b) or (c), for any such items that would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Business, taken as a whole. No Approval of any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by Seller or the Seller Entities in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby, other than (i) in respect of the Antitrust Approvals, (ii) any applicable requirements of the NYSE and (iii) those that, if not obtained, made or given, would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Business, taken as a whole.

3.4 Proceedings. There are no Proceedings pending or threatened in writing against the Seller Entities with respect to the Business that would reasonably be expected to be material to the Business, taken as a whole, or materially impair or materially delay the ability of Seller or each Seller Entity to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby. There is no investigation pending or threatened in writing against any of the Seller Entities that would reasonably be expected to be material to the Business, taken as a whole. None of the Seller Entities nor any of their respective Affiliates is subject to any outstanding order that is material to the Business, taken as a whole, in each case relating to or otherwise affecting the Business, any of the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. No circumstance or fact exists that could give rise to any such Proceeding, investigation or order in the future.

3.5 Absence of Changes; No Business Material Adverse Effect. Since March 31, 2019, (a) the Business has been conducted in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice in all material respects and (b) there has not occurred any event, change or development that has had, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Effect.

3.6 Business Financial Information. Section 3.6 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules sets forth a copy of unaudited financial information of the Business (the “Unaudited Financial Information”). The Unaudited Financial Information has been prepared in good faith from the books and records of Seller and its Subsidiaries and presents accurately in all material respects the financial information about the Business it purports to present. Notwithstanding anything herein

 

27


to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that the Unaudited Financial Information has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, does not include certain items such as taxes and interest and is qualified by the fact that the Business has not operated as a separate stand-alone business or entity and therefore the Unaudited Financial Information, which was prepared for purposes of this Agreement, does not include all of the shared services, overhead and other costs necessary for the Business to operate as a separate stand-alone business or entity. The Business Financial Statements, when delivered in accordance with Section 5.15, will have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Business as of and for the periods presented therein.

3.7 No Undisclosed Liabilities. No material Liabilities are attached to or otherwise primarily related to the Purchased Assets, except (a) to the extent such Liabilities are accurately reflected and accrued for or fully reserved against in the Business Financial Statements, (b) Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2018, (c) Liabilities pursuant to contractual obligations (including Business Contracts) and (d) Liabilities incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.8 Title. Seller, or another Seller Entity, owns the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens or Liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair Seller’s (or a Seller Entity’s) ownership or use of such Purchased Assets. With respect to the Transferred Leases, Seller or another Seller Entity is in compliance with such Transferred Leases in all material respects and, to the Knowledge of Seller, holds a valid leasehold interest free of Liens (other than Permitted Liens). This Section 3.8 is not, and is not intended to be, a representation or warranty of any kind with respect to Intellectual Property Rights or Information Technology, which representations and warranties are solely as set forth in Section 3.9.

3.9 Intellectual Property.

(a) Section 1.1(f) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules sets forth a list that identifies, as of the date of this Agreement, each item of Transferred Intellectual Property that is Registered Intellectual Property (the “Transferred Registered Intellectual Property”), including the name of the Seller Entity that owns such Transferred Registered Intellectual Property. Each item of Transferred Registered Intellectual Property is subsisting and, to the Knowledge of Seller, is not invalid or unenforceable.

(b) Except as would not be material to the Business taken as a whole, Seller or another Seller Entity solely and exclusively owns all Transferred Intellectual Property and Transferred Technology, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Each current employee, contractor and consultant of the Seller Entities that has created any Transferred Intellectual Property that is material to the operation of the Business taken as a whole, and that is not owned by a Seller Entity by operation of law (each, a “Contributor”) has executed a valid written agreement assigning to a Seller Entity exclusive ownership of all such Contributors’ right, title, and interest in and to such Transferred Intellectual Property.

 

28


(c) Except as would not be material to the Business taken as a whole, (i) none of the Transferred Intellectual Property is subject to any Judgment adversely affecting the Seller Entities’ rights to the Transferred Intellectual Property; (ii) Seller has not received notice of any opposition or cancellation Proceeding pending against the Seller Entities concerning the ownership, validity or enforceability of any Transferred Registered Intellectual Property (which, for clarity, does not include ordinary course office actions related to the prosecution or application for any item of Transferred Registered Intellectual Property); and (iii) since August 4, 2016, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has initiated or threatened to initiate any Proceeding against, or put any third party on written notice, claiming the Infringement of any Transferred Intellectual Property or Seller Licensed IP.

(d) Except as would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Business taken as a whole, (i) the operation of the Business since August 4, 2016 has not Infringed and does not Infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of any third Person and (ii) when Business is conducted in substantially the same manner by Purchaser following the Closing, will not, Infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of any third Person. Since August 4, 2016, none of the Seller Entities have received any written notice alleging that any of the Business operations Infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of any third Person.

(e) Each of the Seller Entities, as applicable, has taken commercially reasonable steps to protect and maintain all material Trade Secrets included in the Transferred Intellectual Property and Seller Licensed IP, and since August 4, 2016, there have been no material unauthorized uses or disclosures of any such material Trade Secrets.

(f) Section 3.9(f) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules accurately identifies each Contract pursuant to which any Person has been granted any license under, or otherwise has received or acquired any right (whether or not currently exercisable) or interest in, any Transferred Patents or any other material Transferred Intellectual Property, or pursuant to which any Seller Entity has agreed not to enforce any Transferred Patents or any other material Transferred Intellectual Property against any Person, other than (i) non-exclusive licenses entered into in the ordinary course of the conduct of the Business with customers, delivery services or restaurants in connection with the sale of products or the provision of services, (ii) immaterial intercompany agreements (excluding any licenses or covenants not to sue under any Transferred Patent or any other material Transferred Intellectual Property) or (iii) non-exclusive licenses granted to Business Employees or contractors, consultants, restaurants of the Business in the ordinary course of the conduct of the Business. Since August 4, 2016, the Seller Entities have not transferred, or agreed to assign or transfer, ownership of (whether a whole or partial interest) any Technology or Intellectual Property Right that, but for such transfer or assignment, would have constituted an item of material Transferred Intellectual Property or Transferred Technology and the Intellectual Property Rights therein.

(g) Section 3.9(g) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules accurately identifies as of the date of this Agreement each Contract pursuant to which the Seller Entities receive a license from a third party to (i) Intellectual Property Rights, (ii) Software or (iii) any other Technology, in each case that is material and exclusively related to the operation of the Business and excluding, in each case, licenses to Standard Software or non-customized Information Technology, licenses to other Technology commercially available on standard terms and non-exclusive licenses granted by Business Employees or contractors, consultants, customers or restaurants of the Business in the ordinary course of the conduct of the Business.

 

29


(h) After the Closing, the Transferred Intellectual Property, together with the licenses granted to Purchaser under the Seller Licensed IP and Seller Licensed Patents pursuant to Section 5.12(a), Standard Software licenses, licenses for the Open Source Materials set forth on Section 3.9(j) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, the services contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement, constitute all of the Intellectual Property Rights that are owned by Seller or its Affiliates used in or necessary to conduct of the Business, immediately following the Closing Date, in substantially the same manner in all material respects as conducted by Seller prior to the Closing. The representation set forth in this Section 3.9(h) shall not be deemed to constitute a representation with respect to the Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights.

(i) To the Knowledge of Seller, since August 4, 2017, no Person has Infringed and no Person is currently Infringing, any material Transferred Intellectual Property.

(j) Section 3.9(j) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules lists any Open Source Materials that have been incorporated into, integrated with, combined with or linked to any material proprietary Software that is Transferred Technology and distributed by a Seller Entity (such Software, “Business Proprietary Software”) such that the Seller Entity is required to make available the source code for such Business Proprietary Software under the same license terms under which such Seller entity was granted a license to such Open Source Materials. No Open Source Materials that are governed by the Affero GPL or the Server Side Public License have been incorporated into, integrated with, combined with or linked to any Business Proprietary Software. The Business Proprietary Software is stored solely on servers located in California and/or northern Virginia.

(k) No funding, facilities, or personnel of any Governmental Entity were used, directly or indirectly, to develop, create or reduce to practice, in whole or in part, any Transferred Intellectual Property or Transferred Technology. To the extent relating to the Business, no Governmental Entity, university, college, other educational institution, multi-national, bi-national or international organization or research center (i) owns or otherwise holds, or has the right to obtain, any rights to any Transferred Intellectual Property or Transferred Technology, (ii) has imposed or purported to impose, or has the right, whether contingent or otherwise, to impose, any obligations or restrictions on the Business (or, following the Closing on Purchaser) with respect to the licensing or granting of any Transferred Intellectual Property or Transferred Technology, or (iii) is or may become entitled to receive any royalties or other payments from the Seller Entities (or, following the Closing, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates).

3.10 Privacy; Cybersecurity.

(a) Except as would not be adverse to the Business taken as a whole, in a material respect, to the extent relating to the Business, the Seller Entities are, and have at all times been, in compliance with (i) all applicable Laws regarding the privacy, protection or security of Personal Data (“Privacy Laws”), (ii) the privacy policies in effect between the Seller Entities, on the one hand, and the users of the Business products or services, (iii) Contracts (or portions thereof) between the Seller Entities, on the one hand, and vendors, marketing affiliates, financial

 

30


institutions, other business partners, and any other third parties to which any Personal Data is provided, disclosed or made available by or on behalf of the Business, on the other hand, and (iv) any rules of self-regulatory, industry or other organizations in which the Seller Entities is a member relating to Personal Data, with which the Business is required to comply by virtue of such membership, in each case in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), that are applicable to the collection, storage, deletion and sale by transmission, or dissemination (“Processing”) of Personal Data by the Business (such policies and Contracts being hereinafter referred to as “Privacy Agreements”). Seller has delivered or made available to Purchaser accurate and complete copies of all material current Privacy Agreements of the Business.

(b) The Privacy Agreements do not (i) require the Seller to deliver any notice to, or obtain consent from, any Person, or (ii) prohibit the transfer of any Personal Data collected and in the possession or control of the Business to Purchaser as a result of the consummation of the Transaction.

(c) All Affiliates, vendors or other Persons whose relationship with the Seller Entities involves the Processing of Personal Data on behalf of the Business are subject to obligations that require such Persons to protect such Personal Data in a manner consistent with the Seller Entities’ obligations in the Privacy Agreements and in compliance with Privacy Laws.

(d) Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will result in any material violation of any Privacy Agreements or Privacy Laws relating to Personal Data that is a Purchased Asset.

Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the proviso in the last sentence of this Section 5.1(a), Parent and Seller shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to obtain (and shall cooperate with each other in obtaining) any Antitrust Approvals (which actions shall include furnishing all information required in connection with such Antitrust Approvals) required to be obtained to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b) (in the case of Section 7.1(b), if the injunction, restraint or other Judgment relates to any Antitrust Law) and to consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Date), including, if doing so is a required condition for the Parties to secure any Antitrust Approval, proffering to, or agreeing to, sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber or hold separate, before or after the Closing, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interests included in the Purchased Assets or of Parent or any of its Affiliates (or consent to any sale, divestiture, lease, license, transfer, disposition or other encumbering by the Seller Entities of any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interests included in the Purchased Assets or to any agreement by any of the Seller Entities to take any of the foregoing actions) (“Antitrust Remedies”); provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to undertake, or agree to undertake, any Antitrust Remedies (i) to the extent that any such Antitrust Remedies include any sale, divestiture, lease, license, transfer, disposition or other encumbering of any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interests of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or the Business, in the San Francisco Bay Area, California; New York, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; or Chicago, Illinois, or (ii) that would be material to the business or operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries, or to the Business.

(b) The Parties shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with obtaining any authorizations, approvals, consents, clearances, registrations, permits and other confirmations from any Governmental Entity required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall, unless prohibited by law, promptly (i) furnish to the other Party such information as the other Party may reasonably require in connection with the preparation of any filing or submission under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Law; (ii) notify each other promptly of any oral communication with, and provide copies of any written communications, correspondence and filings with, any Governmental Entity; (iii) consult and cooperate with, and consider in good faith the views of, one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party in connection with proceedings under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Law; (iv) permit the other Party to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with, any proposed written (or any material oral) communication with any such Governmental Entity and (v) give the other Party reasonable advance notice of all meetings (whether in person or via video or telephone conference) with any Governmental Entity and unless prohibited by Law or such Governmental Entity, not attend or participate independently in any meeting with a Governmental Entity without providing reasonable advance notice to the other Party and an opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Parties have differing views with respect to the handling of any reviews or investigations of the Transaction under any Antitrust Law, Parent shall have final decision-making authority on relevant strategy, timing and agreements with any Governmental Entity; provided, however, that Parent shall not be permitted to make any such decisions in respect of strategy, timing and agreements with any Governmental Entity that would reasonably be expected to delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to a date after the Outside Date, or would reasonably be expected to prevent the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from being consummated prior to the Outside Date. Parent and Seller may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 5.2(b) as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside legal counsel and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Parent or Seller, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Materials provided pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of or future plans for the Business; (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual obligations; and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns.

 

54


(c) Additionally, and without limiting the specific other obligations of the Parties set forth in this Agreement, each of Parent and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement and (ii) fulfill all conditions precedent to this Agreement and shall not take, or permit any of its Affiliates to take, any action after the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or materially delay the Closing.

Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the confidentiality obligations of Parent under the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to information to the extent related to the Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities; provided that the Purchaser Parties acknowledge that their other obligations thereunder shall continue to remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) For three (3) years after the Closing, unless the Purchaser Parties have otherwise consented, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, retain in confidence any confidential or proprietary information to the extent related to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, and shall not disclose such confidential or proprietary information to any other Person; provided that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any information (i) that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Section 5.3(b), (ii) that is required to be disclosed by applicable Law or to a Governmental

 

57


Entity or otherwise required or requested in connection with compliance with applicable Law or pursuant to a Judgment, subpoena, administrative, legal or judicial process or order or civil investigative demand, (iii) that Seller or any of its Affiliates receives after the Closing from a source that is not known to Seller after reasonable inquiry to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality, to the Purchaser Parties or their Affiliates (or Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to Closing) with respect to such information or (iv) that is independently developed by Seller or any of its Affiliates without reference to or use of such information. The foregoing shall not (i) prohibit Seller or its Affiliates from disclosing such confidential or proprietary information for the purpose of complying with the terms of, or performing under, any of the Transaction Documents or (ii) limit any of the rights granted to Seller or its Affiliates under the Transaction Documents. Furthermore, the provisions of this Section 5.3(b) will not prohibit any retention of copies of records or any disclosure as may be, and only to the extent, necessary or appropriate in the ordinary course of business of the Retained Business or to comply with applicable Law or in connection with the preparation and filing of financial statements with a Governmental Entity (including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) or Tax Returns of Seller or its Affiliates or in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

5.4 Access to Information.

(a) During the period prior to the Closing, Seller shall afford to the Purchaser Parties and their Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice to Seller, consistent with applicable Law and in accordance with the reasonable procedures established by Seller, to the properties, books, Contracts, records and personnel of Seller and its Subsidiaries to the extent related to the Business; provided that (i) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to violate any obligation of confidentiality to which it or any of its Affiliates may be subject or contravene any applicable Law in discharging their obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4; (ii) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide such access or information as would reasonably be expected to result in the loss or waiver of the attorney-client or other applicable privilege or protection (provided that Seller and its Affiliates shall use their reasonable best efforts to enter into such joint defense agreements or other arrangements, as appropriate, so as to allow for such disclosure in a manner that does not result in the loss of such privilege or protection); (iii) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide such access or information as would reasonably be expected to have competitive harm to the Business prior to the Closing (provided that Seller and its Affiliates shall use its reasonable best efforts to enter into such other arrangements, as appropriate, so as to allow for such disclosure in a manner that does not result in such competitive harm); and (iv) Seller shall make available, or cause its Subsidiaries to make available, Business Employee personnel files only after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Business Employees, if and when the Purchaser Parties provide Seller with notice reasonably acceptable to Seller that the applicable Business Employees have provided the Purchaser Parties with a release permitting transfer of those files (provided that Seller shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, available medical records, workers compensation records or the results of any drug testing and that Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless from any Liabilities arising out of or relating to the transfer of such personnel files).

 

58


(b) The Purchaser Parties agree that any investigation undertaken pursuant to the access granted under Section 5.4(a) shall be conducted in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the operation of Seller and its Affiliates or the Business, and none of the Purchaser Parties or any of their Representatives shall communicate with any of the employees of the Business (or Seller or its Affiliates) without the prior written consent of Seller; provided that Purchaser or any of its Representatives may continue to communicate with employees of the Business to the extent Seller has made such Persons made available to the Purchaser Parties or any of their Representatives prior to the date of this Agreement solely with respect to the matters for which Seller has made such Persons available to the Purchaser Parties or any of its Representatives prior to the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide access to or disclose information to the extent, upon the advice of counsel, such access or disclosure would jeopardize attorney-client or other similar privilege.

(c) From and after the Closing, the Purchaser Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, afford Seller and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, consistent with applicable Law and in accordance with the reasonable procedures established by the Purchaser Parties, to the properties, Business Books and Records and personnel of the Business and/or the Purchaser Parties and their Affiliates to the extent that such access may be reasonably requested by Seller, including in connection with the preparation of financial statements, Taxes, reporting obligations and compliance with the Transaction Documents or applicable Laws; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ rights of discovery; provided, further, that (i) neither the Purchaser Parties nor any of their Affiliates shall be required to violate any obligation of confidentiality to which it or any of its Affiliates may be subject or contravene any applicable Law in discharging their obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4; (ii) neither the Purchaser Parties nor any of their Affiliates shall be required to provide such access or information as would reasonably be expected to result in the loss or waiver of the attorney-client or other applicable privilege or protection (provided that the Purchaser Parties and their Affiliates shall use their reasonable best efforts to enter into such joint defense agreements or other arrangements, as appropriate, so as to allow for such disclosure in a manner that does not result in the loss of such privilege or protection); and (iii) neither the Purchaser Parties nor any of their Affiliates shall be required to provide such access or information as would reasonably be expected to have competitive harm to the Business after the Closing (provided that the Purchaser Parties and their Affiliates shall use their reasonable best efforts to enter into such other arrangements, as appropriate, so as to allow for such disclosure in a manner that does not result in such competitive harm).

5.5 Publicity. Neither Seller nor the Purchaser Parties shall issue any press release or public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except (x) as may be required by applicable Law, Judgment, court process or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system or (y) as provided in Section 5.5 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules.

5.6 Employee Matters.

(a) Communications to Business Employees. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Parent and Seller shall cooperate in good faith regarding any written or oral communications by Parent or Seller to any Business Employees, whether relating to employee benefits, post-Closing terms of employment or otherwise. Neither the Purchaser Parties nor any employee or representative of any Purchaser Party shall, without Seller’s prior written consent, inform any Business Employee identified on Section 7.2(e)(i) or 7.2(e)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, or otherwise disclose, that such Person’s acceptance of an offer of employment by Parent may be a condition to Closing pursuant to Section 7.2(e).

(b) Offers of Employment. Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, make offers of full-time employment to all Business Employees, in each case, (i) with terms and conditions regarding wage rate or base salary level, target cash incentive compensation opportunities, and employee benefits that meet the standards set forth in Section 5.6(d), (ii) effective subject to and upon the occurrence of the Closing and, further, subject to each such Business Employee’s satisfaction of Parent’s background check requirements, Form I-9s, any applicable visa or work permit filings, employee handbook and related policy acknowledgements, and execution of a proprietary information, inventions, assignment and restrictive covenants agreement in Parent’s standard form as provided to Seller prior to the date of this Agreement.    Seller and its Subsidiaries shall cooperate with Parent to make reasonably accessible to Parent each Business Employee to assist Parent in its efforts to secure an offer of employment with such Business Employee. Parent shall not take any action intended to interfere with, delay or frustrate the satisfaction of the closing condition set forth in Section 7.2(e), which shall include not taking action to either modify the terms of any offer of employment provided to a Business Employee pursuant to this Section 5.6(b) or any offers made by Parent to any Business Employee prior to or as of the date hereof that would adversely affect such Business Employee or disclose the status of an offer of employment provided to any Business Employee identified on Section 7.2(e)(i) or 7.2(e)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules to such other Business Employees.

(c) Transferred Business Employees. Each Business Employee who accepts Parent’s offer of employment and actually commences employment with Parent or one of its Affiliates upon the Closing shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Business Employee.” Seller and its Subsidiaries shall, subject to applicable Law, terminate the employment of (i) all Transferred Business Employees effective immediately as of the Closing and (ii) any Business Employee who rejects his or her offer of employment by Parent or its Affiliates effective immediately as of the Closing.

(d) Terms and Conditions of Employment. With respect to each Transferred Business Employee, Parent shall maintain, for a period of at least one (1) year following the Closing Date, (i) at least the same wage rate or base salary level in effect for such Transferred Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing; (ii) target cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding retention or transaction bonuses) for such Transferred Business Employee that are substantially comparable to those in effect for such Transferred Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing, provided, that, with respect to any Transferred Business Employee who is a sales employee, this clause (ii) shall only be effective if such Person

 

60


has been employed for a period of at least six (6) months following the Closing Date; (iii) all other compensation and benefits (other than severance and retention or transaction bonuses) that, taken as a whole, have a value that is substantially comparable in the aggregate to the other compensation and benefits (including the aggregate value of any equity awards to acquire shares of Seller held by such Transferred Business Employee that are outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Closing Date (assuming solely for this purpose that the price per share of Seller’s stock is equal to $80.00), but excluding severance and retention or transaction bonuses) in effect for such Transferred Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing, provided, that if Parent determines to grant an award of restricted stock units to acquire shares of Parent to any such Transferred Business Employee pursuant to this clause (iii), such award shall be subject to such vesting, settlement and other terms and conditions that apply generally to employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries; and (iv) severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits in effect for similarly situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates, giving effect to such Transferred Business Employee’s service with Parent and Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that Parent retains the right to modify any of the compensation and benefits described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) that apply to each Transferred Business Employee to the extent necessary to reflect any action taken by Parent that applies uniformly to situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries. As of and after the Closing, Parent shall provide to each Transferred Business Employee full credit for all purposes under any Transferred Benefit Plan and each employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement sponsored by Parent or any of its Affiliates in which such Transferred Business Employee is entitled to participate for such Transferred Business Employee’s service prior to the Closing with Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, to the same extent such service is recognized by Seller and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing; provided that such service shall not be credited for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent such credit would result in any duplication of compensation or benefits.

(e) Health Coverages. Parent shall cause each Transferred Business Employee who is covered by a group health Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing (and his or her eligible dependents and family members) to be covered on and after the Closing by a group health plan or plans maintained by Parent or any of its Affiliates that (i) do not limit or exclude coverage on the basis of any preexisting condition of such Transferred Business Employee or dependent (other than any limitation already in effect under the applicable group health Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing) or on the basis of any other exclusion or waiting period not in effect under the applicable group health Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) provide each Transferred Business Employee full credit under Parent’s or such Affiliate’s group health plans, for the year in which the Closing Date occurs, for any deductible or co-payment already incurred by the Transferred Business Employee under the applicable group health Benefit Plan and for any other out-of-pocket expenses that count against any maximum out-of-pocket expense provision of the applicable group health Benefit Plan or Parent’s or such Affiliate’s group health plans.

(f) Severance. If (i) a Business Employee rejects Parent’s offer of employment pursuant to Section 5.6(b) or (ii) following acceptance of Parent’s offer of employment pursuant to Section 5.6(b), a Business Employee does not become a Transferred Business Employee for any reason, in either case, then Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any severance benefits paid or provided to any such Business Employee.

 

61


(g) COBRA. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates with respect to any Liability under COBRA or similar applicable Laws in the United States arising from the actions (or inactions) of Parent or its Subsidiaries relating to Transferred Business Employees on or after the Closing Date or with respect to any qualifying M&A Beneficiaries under COBRA on account of a qualifying event that occurs following the Closing Date in connection with the Transaction. Seller shall retain, indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates for all Liabilities under COBRA, including with respect to any “qualifying event” (as defined under COBRA) of any Business Employee or occurring before the Closing Date, and Liabilities under similar applicable Laws incurred prior to the Closing Date or with respect to any qualifying M&A Beneficiaries under COBRA on account of a qualifying event that occurs prior to or as of the Closing Date in connection with the Transaction.

(h) Defined Contribution Plans. Effective as of the Closing, Parent shall establish eligibility for participation by the Transferred Business Employees in Parent’s tax-qualified defined contribution plan or plans with a cash or deferred feature (the “Parent Defined Contribution Plan”) for the benefit of each Transferred Business Employee who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, was eligible to participate in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Seller or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Seller Defined Contribution Plans”). As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Seller Defined Contribution Plans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, make distributions available to the applicable Transferred Business Employees, and the Parent Defined Contribution Plan shall accept any such distribution (including loans) as a rollover contribution if so directed by such Transferred Business Employees.

(i) Seller Benefit Plans. From and after the Closing, the Transferred Business Employees shall cease to be active participants in the Seller Benefit Plans. Parent and its Affiliates shall assume all assets and Liabilities related to all Transferred Benefit Plans.

(j) Immigration. With respect to each Business Employee who is a foreign national working in the United States in non-immigrant visa status, Parent may elect, on an employee by employee basis, to employ such Business Employee under terms and conditions such that Parent qualifies as a “successor employer” under applicable United States immigration laws effective as of the Closing for immigration-related purposes only, and Parent shall not by reason of any such election be deemed to have otherwise assumed any Liabilities (other than with respect to the immigration-related liabilities and responsibilities associated with the applicable visa petitions) or to be a successor for any other purpose except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

(k) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.4, the provisions of this Section 5.6 are solely for the benefit of the Parties and no current or former employee, director or independent contractor or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein shall be construed as the establishment or adoption of, or an amendment to, any Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan for any purpose, or otherwise limit the right of Seller, Parent or their respective Affiliates, to amend, modify or terminate any such Benefit Plan or employee benefit plan in accordance with its terms and applicable Law, or to create any obligation on the part of Parent or its Affiliates to employ any Business Employee for any period following the Closing or

 

62


to interfere with the right of Parent or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Transferred Business Employee at any time, with or without cause. No Person participating in any such Benefit Plan or employee benefit plan shall have any claim or cause of action in respect of any provisions of this Agreement as it relates to any such Benefit Plan or employee benefit plan or otherwise.

(l) Retention Pool. At or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall establish a retention pool for the benefit of the Transferred Business Employees, subject to the parameters and other terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.6(l) of the Purchaser Parties Disclosure Schedules.

5.7 Financial Obligations. At or prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) arrange for substitute guarantees and other obligations by Purchaser or one (1) of its Affiliates under the Business Contracts set forth in Section 5.7 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules to replace the outstanding guarantees and other contractual obligations entered into by or on behalf of any Seller Entity or any of their respective Affiliates (the “Guarantees”) or (ii) assume all obligations under each Guarantee, and in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the creditor or other counterparty a full and irrevocable release of the Seller Entity and its Affiliates that are liable, directly or indirectly, for reimbursement to the creditor or fulfillment of other Liabilities to a counterparty in connection with the Guarantees.

5.8 Use of Names Following Closing.

(a) Purchaser and its Affiliates are not purchasing, acquiring or otherwise obtaining any right, title or interest in Seller Marks, except for the limited right to use such Seller Marks as expressly set forth in this Section 5.8. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall seek to use or register in any jurisdiction any Seller Marks, or any other Mark that is confusingly similar to a Seller Mark, or to contest the use, ownership, validity or enforceability of any Seller Mark.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.8, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall (i) cease and discontinue all uses of the Seller Marks immediately upon the Closing and (ii) not expressly, or by implication, do business as or represent themselves as or otherwise represent an association with Seller or an Affiliate of Seller.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, and in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall destroy or exhaust all materials bearing the Seller Marks, including signage, advertising, promotional materials, packaging, inventory, electronic materials, collateral goods, business cards, website content, invoices, receipts, forms, product, training and service literature and materials and other materials (collectively, “Materials”) or shall alter any such Materials so as to remove the Seller Marks.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.8, Seller hereby grants Purchaser and its Affiliates, during such ninety (90)-day period after the Closing, a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonassignable, non-sublicensable right to use the Seller Marks on such Materials in connection with the Business in the same manner as such Seller Marks and Materials were used in connection with the Business immediately prior to the Closing.

 

63


(e) Purchaser, for itself and its Affiliates, agrees that (i) use of the Seller Marks during the period authorized by this Section 5.8 shall not be for any materials or services (including new marketing or advertising materials or product, training or service literature) produced, created or developed after the Closing and (ii) the Materials and all services offered in connection therewith shall be of a level of quality equal to or greater than the quality of materials and services with respect to which the Business used the Seller Marks immediately prior to the Closing.

(f) Any goodwill arising from the use of the Seller Marks as described in this Section 5.8 shall inure to the sole benefit of Seller and its Affiliates.

5.9 Insurance. Prior to the Closing, at the Purchaser Parties’ sole cost and expense (including any premium or rate increase), Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser Parties in good faith to explore the option of Seller extending coverage under its existing Occupational Accident, Contingent General Liabilities and Automobile insurance policies to the Purchaser Parties for any Assumed Liabilities that arose prior to the Closing and are not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy. From and after the Closing Date, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, and the operations, Liabilities and assets of the Business, shall cease to be insured by Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ insurance policies or by any of their self-insured programs, and neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall have any access, right, title or interest to or in any such insurance policies (including to all claims and rights to make claims and all rights to proceeds or return premium) to cover the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the operations, Liabilities or assets of the Business. Seller and its Subsidiaries may amend any insurance policies in the manner they deem appropriate to give effect to this Section 5.9. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the operations, Liabilities and assets of the Business. Purchaser further covenants and agrees not to seek to assert or to exercise any rights or claims of, or in respect of, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the operations, Liabilities and assets of the Business, under or in respect of any past or current insurance policy under which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a named insured.

5.10 Further Assurances; Misallocated Assets; Misdirected Payments.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any additional documents, instruments or conveyances reasonably requested by a Party to further perfect or evidence the consummation of, or otherwise implement, the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or to aid in the preparation of any regulatory filings or financial statements; provided, however, that any such additional documents must be reasonably satisfactory to each of the Parties and must not impose upon any Party any Liability, risk, obligation, loss, cost or expense not contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Subject to Section 2.10, if, following the Closing, any right, property or asset that would constitute an Excluded Asset is found to have been transferred to Purchaser or its Affiliates in error, either directly or indirectly, Purchaser shall transfer, or shall cause its Affiliates to transfer, at no cost, such right, property or asset (and any related Liabilities) as soon as practicable to the Seller Entity indicated by Seller in writing. If, following the Closing, any right, property or asset that would constitute a Purchased Asset is found to have been retained by any Seller Entity in error, either directly or indirectly, Seller shall transfer, or shall cause the other Seller Entities to transfer, at no cost, such right, property or asset (and any related Liabilities) as soon as practicable to Purchaser or an Affiliate indicated by Purchaser in writing.

(c) After the Closing, if any payments due with respect to the Business are paid to any Seller Entity (including any payments from any customer under any Business Contracts), unless such payment is in respect of an Excluded Asset, Seller shall remit, or shall cause another Seller Entity to remit, by wire transfer, such payment to an account indicated by Purchaser in writing promptly after receipt thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, any and all accounts receivable of Seller or its Subsidiaries existing as of the Closing shall not be subject to this Section 5.10(c)). After the Closing, if any payments due with respect to the Excluded Assets, the Retained Liabilities or the Retained Business that are not included in the Purchased Assets are paid to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including any payments under any Shared Contracts or otherwise), Purchaser shall remit, or shall cause such Affiliate to remit, by wire transfer, such payment to an account indicated by Seller in writing promptly after receipt thereof.

(a) Licenses to Purchaser. Effective as of the Closing and subject to the provisions of this Section 5.12, for the respective terms set forth in Section 5.12(f), Seller and its Subsidiaries hereby grant to Purchaser and its Affiliates a worldwide, irrevocable, nonexclusive, fully paid-up and royalty-free license:

(i) under the Seller Licensed Patents, to (A) develop, make, have made, import, use, offer to sell, sell (or otherwise dispose of) and make improvements to any of Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ products and services and (B) practice any method, process or procedure claimed in any of the Seller Licensed Patents, in each case of clauses (A) and (B) in the Business Field or extensions or natural evolutions thereof;

65


(b) Licenses to Seller. Effective as of the Closing and subject to the provisions of this Section 5.12, for the respective terms set forth in Section 5.12(f), Purchaser and its Affiliates hereby grant to Seller and its Affiliates a worldwide, irrevocable, nonexclusive, fully paid-up and royalty-free license:

(i) under the Purchaser Licensed Patents, to (A) develop, make, have made, import, use, offer to sell, sell (or otherwise dispose of) and make improvements to any of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ products and services and (B) practice any method, process or procedure claimed in any of the Purchaser Licensed Patents, in each case of clauses (A) and (B) in the Retained Field or extensions or natural evolutions thereof; and

(c) Transfer of Licenses. Except as provided in Section 5.12(g), the licenses granted to a Party under this Section 5.12 may not be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, except that such licenses may be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate or in connection with the transfer or sale of any business or division (by means of a reorganization, asset sale, stock sale, merger or otherwise) of such licensed Party to which such licenses relate. For clarity, in the event Purchaser sells part of the Business or Seller sells part of the Retained Business, respectively, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, may retain the licenses granted under this Section 5.12 with respect to the retained portion of the Business or Retained Business, as the case may be, and assign the licenses granted under this Section 5.12 to the purchaser of a part of such business.

(d) Limitations.

(i) Except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Agreement (including with respect to representations and warranties made by Seller to Purchaser in Section 3.9 regarding the Transferred Intellectual Property), all rights and licenses granted by one Party to the other hereunder are granted “as is” and without any representation or warranty of any kind.

(ii) Except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Agreement, each Party reserves all rights and licenses to its Intellectual Property Rights, and no other licenses are granted under this Section 5.12 by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

(iii) Subject to Section 5.12(c), any rights or licenses granted under this Section 5.12 extend to each entity that is a Party’s Affiliate, but only for so long as such entity is an Affiliate, and accordingly the license to such entity shall terminate upon such entity ceasing to be an Affiliate of such Party.

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, upon and following the Closing, the licenses granted by it, as the licensing Party, under this Section 5.12 are non-terminable and irrevocable, and that the licensing Party’s sole remedy after the Closing for breach by the other Party, as the licensed Party, hereunder will be for such licensing Party to bring a claim to recover damages and to seek appropriate equitable relief but not termination of the licenses granted by it as the licensing Party hereunder.

 

66


(f) License Term. All licenses granted under this Section 5.12 with respect to each Patent will expire upon the expiration of the term of such Patent. All licenses granted under this Section 5.12 with respect to each Copyright will expire upon the expiration of the term of such Copyright; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of the license granted under Section 5.12(a)(iii) as it relates to the A-Libraries is perpetual and with respect to the B-Libraries is one (1) year from the Closing. All other licenses granted under this Section 5.12 are perpetual.

(g) Sublicensing. Each Party (and its Affiliates), as a licensee under the licenses set forth in Section 5.12(a) and Section 5.12(b), respectively (such Party (and its Affiliates) in such capacity, a “Licensee”), may sublicense the license and rights granted to it by the other Party and its Affiliates (such Party (and its Affiliates) in such capacity, a “Licensor”) under Section 5.12(a)(ii) or Section 5.12(b)(ii), respectively, freely to a third party in connection with the operation of the Licensee’s business in the ordinary course, including in connection with the manufacture, sale or provision of its products or services (in each case, within the scope of the applicable license granted to the Licensee under Section 5.12(a)(ii) or Section 5.12(b)(ii), respectively). The Licensee shall treat any material Trade Secrets or confidential information that embodies, or is, Purchaser Licensed IP or Seller Licensed IP, as the case may be, licensed to the Licensee in the same manner, and with the same degree of care, that the Licensee treats its own like confidential information and Trade Secrets, but in no event with less than reasonable care, and the Licensee shall not disclose such Trade Secrets or confidential information licensed to it hereunder to a third party, except in connection with the disclosure of such Licensee’s own confidential information or Trade Secrets of at least comparable importance and value and on the same terms. The licenses set forth in Section 5.12(a)(i) and Section 5.12(b)(i) are not sublicenseable by the applicable Licensee.

(h) Bankruptcy Rights. All rights and licenses granted to a Licensee hereunder are, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of “intellectual property rights” within the scope of Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Licensor acknowledges that the Licensee, as a licensee of such rights and licenses hereunder, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Each Licensor irrevocably waives all arguments and defenses arising under 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1) or successor provisions to the effect that applicable Law excuses such Licensor from accepting performance from or rendering performance to an entity other than the debtor or debtor-in-possession as a basis for opposing assumption of the licenses granted by this Section 5.12(h) in a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent that such consent is required under 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1) or any successor statute.

(i) Residuals. The term “Residuals” means confidential information in non-tangible form, including ideas, concepts, techniques and know-how contained therein, that may be retained in the unaided minds of either Business Employees or employees of the Retained Business, as applicable, who have had rightful access to such confidential information. Purchaser and its Affiliates may use the Residuals of Business Employees for any purpose, and Seller and its Subsidiaries may use the Residuals of employees of the Retained Business for any purpose.

(j) Enforcement. The Licensor has the sole right, but not the obligation, to bring any suit, action or other proceeding against any alleged infringer of any rights licensed by Licensor under this Section 5.12. If the Licensor, in its sole discretion, undertakes the enforcement or defense of any Seller Licensed Patent or Purchaser Licensed Patent, as applicable, (i) any recovery, damages, or settlement derived from such suit, action or other proceeding will be retained in its entirety by the Licensor and (ii) the Licensor may settle any such suit, action or other proceeding without the consent of the Licensee.

Purchaser shall cause the R&W Insurance Policy to include a provision whereby, except in the case of actual fraud by Seller or the Seller Entities with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement, the R&W Insurer expressly waives, and irrevocably agrees not to pursue, directly or indirectly, any subrogation rights against Seller or any of its Affiliates, or any former shareholders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of any of the foregoing with respect to any claim made by any insured thereunder and such Persons shall be express third-party beneficiaries of such provision.

(d) Purchaser shall not waive, amend, modify or otherwise revise this subrogation provision under the R&W Insurance Policy, or allow such provision to be waived, amended, modified or otherwise revised by any other Person, in each case, without Seller’s prior written consent, which Seller may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. In addition, Purchaser shall not waive, amend, modify or otherwise revise any provision of the R&W Insurance Policy with respect to any amounts payable thereunder or any retention thereunder or that would increase the amount Purchaser would be required to pay to Seller pursuant to this Section 5.13, in each case without Seller’s prior written consent, which Seller may grant or withhold in its sole discretion.

(c) by the Purchaser Parties, if Seller shall have breached any of its representations and warranties contained in Article III or Seller shall have breached any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, and such breach (x) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) and (y) has not been cured by the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days after the date that the Purchaser Parties have notified Seller of such failure or breach and (ii) three (3) Business Days before the Outside Date; provided that the Purchaser Parties are not then in breach of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such that such failure or breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b);

(d) by Seller or by the Purchaser Parties, subject to Section 10.6, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to March 2, 2020 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to perform any covenant or obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date; and provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to the Purchaser Parties in the event that the Purchaser Parties have breached their obligations to reimburse Seller’s expenses pursuant to Section 10.11(b);

8.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated and the Transaction is abandoned as described in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, except that Section 5.3(a), Section 5.5, this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 8.2 shall be deemed to release any Party from any Liability for fraud by a Party or willful and material breach by such Party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

The Fundamental Seller Representations shall survive until the date that is six (6) years after the Closing Date, unless, in each case, on or prior to such date a claim for indemnification, in accordance with the notice requirements under Section 9.4, is made with respect to any such representation or warranty, in which case such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for the purposes of, the resolution of such claim.

The Fundamental Purchaser Parties Representations, and all rights to bring claims in respect thereof, shall survive until the date that is six (6) years after the Closing Date (whereupon all rights to bring claims in respect thereof shall terminate and expire), unless on or prior to such date a claim with respect to any such representation or warranty is made with respect to any such representation or warranty, in which case such representation or warranty (and the right to pursue and maintain such claim) shall survive until, but only for the purposes of, the resolution of such claim.

(c) The covenants and agreements contained herein that are to be performed at or prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (and at such time they shall terminate) (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any performance or compliance obligations with respect to such covenants and agreements shall terminate at or prior to the Closing in accordance with their terms).

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, effective as of and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent, Purchaser and their Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses (for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the limitations in Section 9.2(b)) incurred or suffered by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation and warranty of Seller contained in Article III as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date (or, if made as of a specific date, as of such specified date), or any inaccuracy in the Officers Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(c), without giving effect to any “material adverse effect,” materiality or similar qualifications contained therein;

(ii) any breach or nonperformance of any covenants or agreements of Seller in this Agreement;

(iii) the matters set forth on Section 9.2 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules (each a “Special Indemnity Matter”); or

(i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller is obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to Fundamental Seller Representations, the liability for which is limited by Section 9.2(b)(ii), or with respect to Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) but not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, the liability for which is limited by Section 9.2(b)(iii), or with respect to fraud) exceed an amount equal to $2,050,000 (the “General Indemnity Cap”) (for the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any Losses are or would, but for the policy limits of the R&W Insurance Policy, be covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, any such Losses shall be subject to the General Indemnity Cap);

(ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller is obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for (x) any breach of any Fundamental Seller Representations pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to fraud) or (y) any breach or nonperformance of any covenants or agreements of Seller in this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii), in each case exceed an amount equal to the Aggregate Consideration actually received; and

(iii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller is obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to Fundamental Seller Representations, the liability for which is limited by Section 9.2(b)(ii)) or Section 9.2(a)(iii), in each case to the extent excluded from coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy, exceed $23,000,000 (the “Special Indemnity Cap”) (for the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any Losses are or would, but for the policy limits of the R&W Insurance Policy, be covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, any such Losses shall be subject to the General Indemnity Cap).

 

77


(c) In addition to the limitations on Seller’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 9.2(b),

(i) Seller shall not be required to provide indemnification to any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of any claim against Purchaser for indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(i) exceeds $2,050,000 (the “Deductible”), and then the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) for only the amount in excess of the Deductible;

(ii) in no event shall Seller be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any single claim or aggregated claims arising out of substantially the same events or circumstances pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) unless the amount of such claim or aggregated claims arising out of substantially the same events or circumstances exceeds $50,000 (the “De Minimis Amount”) (and the amount of Losses with respect to such claims that do not exceed the De Minimis Amount shall not be aggregated for purposes of this Section 9.2(c)(ii)); and

(iii) in the event Losses indemnifiable by Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(a) exceed the General Indemnity Cap (subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, the Deductible), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive source of recovery for any indemnification by Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be the R&W Insurance Policy.

(d) With respect to any applicable indemnification obligation of Seller, Seller shall have the option to make an indemnification payment in satisfaction of such obligation in the form of a combination of cash and Parent Shares, which shall be valued at the Parent Share Value, provided that the proportion of such indemnification payment made in the form of Parent Shares shall not exceed the proportion of the Aggregate Share Consideration relative to the Aggregate Consideration.

9.3 Indemnification by the Purchaser Parties. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, effective as of and after the Closing, the Purchaser Parties shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of or resulting from (a) any Assumed Liabilities or (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser Parties contained in this Agreement. The foregoing is not intended to limit any rights or remedies of Seller with respect to any breaches of the Purchaser Parties’ representations or warranties. Other than Losses arising out of fraud, Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees, for and on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (the “Seller Parties”), that the aggregate liability of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for any and all Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Parties (or any of them) as a direct or indirect result of, or directly or indirectly arising out of, any breach of or inaccuracies in Purchaser’s representations and warranties in this Agreement will be an amount equal to $100,000,000.

 

78


9.4 Procedures.

(a) The Purchaser Parties shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon becoming aware of a claim or a possible claim in respect of which a Purchaser Indemnified Party may seek indemnity pursuant to this Agreement (including a claim or possible claim by a third party against a Purchaser Indemnified Party, such claim or possible claim by a third party being a “Third-Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances then known by the Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand and, if known, the Losses that are expected to be (or reasonably could be) incurred or suffered as a result thereof; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release Seller from any of its obligations under this Article IX, except to the extent that Seller suffers actual loss or prejudice as a result of such failure or delay.

(b) Except as provided in Section 9.4(d), in the event that a Purchaser Party notifies Seller of a potential indemnification claim pursuant to Section 9.4(a) in respect of a Third-Party Claim, Seller shall have the right, at its election, to participate in (but not control or otherwise direct) the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own cost and expense. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall have the sole, absolute and exclusive right to control and direct the defense of all Third-Party Claims in its sole and absolute discretion, and shall have the sole, absolute and exclusive right to enter into settlement or compromise, or consent to the entry of any Judgment with respect to, all Third-Party Claims without the consent of Seller; provided that Parent shall not settle or compromise any indemnifiable Third-Party Claim (notwithstanding whether the aggregate Losses at such time have reached or exceeded the Special Indemnity Cap) without the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if the terms or such settlement or compromise would adversely affect Seller’s reputation or its business or operations, contemplate an admission of wrongdoing by Seller or would be binding on Seller’s business and operations.

(c) Subject to the Special Indemnity Cap, Seller shall not contest, and shall promptly pay, any indemnification claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party for documented attorneys’ fees and expenses actually incurred in respect of any individual Special Indemnity Matter if and to the extent that such fees do not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any attorneys’ fees and expenses payable in connection with the foregoing shall count towards the Special Indemnity Cap and (ii) shall not limit or otherwise restrict the rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to receive indemnification for attorneys’ fees and expenses in excess of $1,000,000, subject to the Special Indemnity Cap and the indemnification provisions of this Article IX.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 9.4(b)), Seller shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither the Purchaser Parties nor any of their Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Proceeding with respect to (i) any Tax Return of Seller or any of its Affiliates or (ii) any other Taxes for which Seller is responsible pursuant to this Agreement.

 

79


9.5 Limitation on Liability.

(a) Procurement of R&W Insurance Policy. The Purchaser Parties acknowledge that the procurement of the R&W Insurance Policy was a material inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement. To the extent the Purchaser Indemnified Parties incur Losses that are indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) and that fall within the scope and limits of the coverage provided by the R&W Insurance Policy (in the event such Losses exceed the General Indemnity Cap), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall exclusively look to payment by the R&W Insurance Policy; provided that, to the extent the Purchaser Indemnified Parties incur Losses that are indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) due to any breach of any Fundamental Seller Representations, subject to the limitations set forth herein, Seller shall remain responsible for all Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties up to the amount of the Aggregate Consideration actually received by Seller, to the extent the Losses associated with such claim have exceeded the policy limits of the R&W Insurance Policy, after the Purchaser Parties have used their reasonable best efforts to exercise all rights and remedies and diligently pursue recovery for such Losses under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(b) Right to Remedy. No claim may be made in respect of any Loss by any Indemnified Party to the extent that such Loss is reasonably capable of remedy by the Indemnifying Party unless the Indemnified Party shall first have provided the Indemnifying Party with a notice of the Loss in accordance with Section 9.4 and the Indemnified Party shall have failed to remedy such breach within a reasonable period and in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice.

(c) Limitation of Damages. NEITHER THE PURCHASER PARTIES NOR SELLER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR SPECIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT A PERSON’S ABILITY TO RECOVER ANY SUCH LOSSES ACTUALLY PAID TO A THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN (I) LOSSES THAT ARE ACTUALLY PAID TO A THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM OR (II) LOSSES THAT ARE INDEMNIFIABLE PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.2(a)(i) OR SECTION 9.2(a)(iii), IN THE CASE OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (I) AND (II), SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE IX, INCLUDING THE SPECIAL INDEMNITY CAP. No Indemnified Party shall have any right to assert any claim against any Indemnifying Party with respect to any Loss, cause of action or other claim to the extent such alleged Loss is a possible or potential Loss, cause of action or claim the Indemnified Party believes may be asserted rather than an actual Loss, cause of action or claim that has, in fact, been filed of record against such Indemnified Party or paid or incurred by such Indemnified Party.

(d) Exclusive Remedy. Except as set forth in Section 10.6 and Section 10.11, following the Closing, the remedies provided in this Article IX shall be the sole recourse of Seller and the Purchaser Parties for all Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability or otherwise) based upon, arising from or relating to any breach by the

 

80


Purchaser Parties or Seller, as applicable, of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any breach by the Seller of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall relieve or release Seller or the Purchaser Parties from any liability to the Purchaser Parties or Seller, as applicable, for fraud. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right of rescission it may otherwise have or to which it may become entitled.

(e) Calculation of Losses. The amount of any claims for Losses subject to indemnification by Seller under this Article IX shall be calculated net of any amounts recovered by Purchaser or its Affiliates under any third party, representation and warranty or other indemnity provisions and insurance policies, including the R&W Insurance Policy (but taking into account any deductible or retention).

(f) Subrogation. Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against any third parties with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights to the Indemnifying Party or, where such assignment is not permitted, use reasonable best efforts to recover in respect such claim on behalf of the Indemnifying Party. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers, including the R&W Insurer, in respect of any claim by a Third Party. Without limiting the other rights of Seller hereunder, to the extent such participation is expressly required by the R&W Insurance Policy, the R&W Insurer shall be entitled to participate in (but not control), at its sole cost and expense, any Third-Party Claim covered by the R&W Insurance Policy. The Purchaser Parties agree that the R&W Insurance Policy will expressly exclude any right of subrogation against Seller and its Affiliates and their respective related parties other than with respect to or in the event of fraud.

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto, and the Confidentiality Agreement, along with the Seller Disclosure Schedules and Purchaser Parties Disclosure Schedules, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter.

81


respective rights and benefits arising under this Agreement; provided, that no such assignment or delegation or grant of a security interest will release the Purchaser Parties from any of their Liabilities or obligations hereunder; provided, further, that no assignment or delegation or grant of a security interest shall (i) release, limit or otherwise affect the Purchaser Parties’ obligations hereunder and the Purchaser Parties shall remain liable therefor or (ii) subject any of the Seller Entities to any Tax liability (including any withholding Tax).

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

10.3 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties. By an instrument in writing, the Purchaser Parties, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, may waive compliance by the other with any term or provision of this Agreement that the other Party was or is obligated to comply with or perform. Such waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with such term or provision shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure of compliance.

10.4 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except with respect to (a) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties solely with respect to Article IX or (b) Affiliates of the Parties, to the extent the provisions of this Agreement are expressly for the benefit of such Affiliates, each Party hereby agrees that its respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other Parties, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.

Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose, and irrevocably waives its right to object to, the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction or relief.

10.7 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement is for the benefit of the Parties and shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (and, in the case of appeals, appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in the event that any dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arises out of this Agreement or the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby; (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (c) agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding or arbitration relating to this Agreement or the Transaction or the other transactions

 

83


contemplated hereby in any court other than the above-named courts; and (d) agrees that it will not seek to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, that any such Proceeding (x) is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named courts, (z) should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any court other than one of the above-named courts or (ii) that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by the above-named courts. Each Party hereto agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 10.5.

10.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTION OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENTS. NO PARTY HERETO WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 10.8. NO PARTY HERETO HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.8 WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

10.9 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one (1) or more such counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered (by facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise) to the other Party.

It is understood and agreed that the specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or Purchaser Parties Disclosure Schedules is not intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or Purchaser Parties Disclosure Schedules in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described in this Agreement or included in the Seller Disclosure Schedules or Purchaser Parties Disclosure Schedules is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein (including the Seller Disclosure Schedules or the Purchaser Parties Disclosure Schedules) shall be deemed an admission by either Party or any of its Affiliates, in any Proceeding involving a third party, that such Party or any such Affiliate, or any third party, is or is not in breach or violation of, or in default in, the performance or observance of any term or provisions of any Contract or Law. For the purposes of this Agreement, (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (b) references to the terms Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule are references to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (c) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto; (d) references to “$” shall mean U.S. dollars; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall

mean “including without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” shall not be exclusive; (g) references to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form; (h) the headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (i) Seller and the Purchaser Parties have each participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties or the parties thereto, as applicable, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions in this Agreement; (j) a reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and permitted assigns; (k) where used with respect to information, the phrase “delivered” or “made available” means that the information referred to has been physically or electronically delivered to the relevant parties or their respective Representatives, and in the case of “made available” to the Purchaser Parties, where such information has been made available in the virtual “data room” established by Seller (whether or not in a specific folder that is available only to certain Representatives of the Purchaser Parties) on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date of this Agreement; (l) any reference to “days” means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified; (m) the word “extent” and the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such word or phrase shall not merely mean “if”; and (n) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

10.13 Waiver of Conflicts; Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a) The Purchaser Parties waive and will not assert, and agree to cause their Affiliates to waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing, of Seller, any of its Affiliates or any shareholder, officer, employee or director of Seller or any of its Affiliates (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including matters in which the interests of Seller or any of its Affiliates may be directly adverse to the Purchaser Parties and their Affiliates) by any legal counsel currently representing Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz (the “Current Representation”).

(b) The Purchaser Parties waive and will not assert, and agree to cause their Affiliates, to waive and not to assert, any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection with respect to any communication between any legal counsel and any Designated Person relating in any way to the Current Representation, it being the intention of the Parties that all such rights to such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection and to control such attorney-client and other applicable legal privilege or protection shall be retained by Seller and that Seller, and not the Purchaser Parties or their Affiliates, shall have the sole right to decide whether or not to waive any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection. Accordingly, from and after the Closing, neither the Purchaser Parties nor their Affiliates shall have any access to any such communications or to the files of the Current Representation, all of which shall be and remain the property of Seller and not of Purchaser Parties or their Affiliates, or to internal counsel relating to the Current Representation, and none of the Purchaser Parties, their Affiliates or any Person acting or purporting to act on their behalf shall seek to obtain the same by any process.
