IT IS AGREED, in consideration of GlobalMed’s payment of the Purchase Price (defined below) and each party’s covenants herein, as follows:

 

Section 1.              Assignment and Assumption.

 

1.1           Assignment and Assumption. Effective on the Closing Date (defined below), PhotoMedex hereby sells, transfers, grants, conveys, assigns and relinquishes exclusively to GlobalMed all of PhotoMedex’ right, title and interest in and to the assets set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Assets”) in perpetuity.

 

Accordingly, as of the Closing Date, GlobalMed, as owner of the Assets, acquires and succeeds to all of PhotoMedex’ right, title and standing to: (i) receive all rights and benefits pertaining to the Assets, (ii) institute and prosecute all suits and proceedings and take all actions that GlobalMed, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or advisable to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title of any kind in and to the Assets, (iii) defend and compromise any and all such actions, suits or proceedings relating to such assigned rights, title, interest and benefits, and (iv) do all such other acts and things in relation thereto as GlobalMed, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or advisable.

All provisions that should survive the Closing (i.e., indemnification, confidentiality) will so survive in accordance with their respective terms.

 

1.2           No Assumption of Any Other Liabilities. Except for the Existing Support Obligations, GlobalMed will not assume any of PhotoMedex’ other liabilities relating to the Assets or any liabilities of any other product lines or business of PhotoMedex and/or any of its affiliates of any nature, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent.

This Agreement may only be amended by a written document signed by both parties.

 

 7 

 

 

The failure of either party to enforce a provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of such provision or of the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect and, except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.2 below, the parties will negotiate in good faith a substitute valid and enforceable provision that most nearly gives effect to the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement. Any notice required under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed received when delivered by hand, registered or certified mail, courier or express delivery service or email with confirmation of receipt.

 

5.2           Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. Until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, throughout the world, PhotoMedex will not, and PhotoMedex will cause its officers, directors, employees, majority shareholders, agents and representatives not to, (i) develop, manufacture, license, commercially exploit and or support any product that competes with any Omnilux Product; (ii) directly or indirectly as owner, shareholder or partner or otherwise, engage in any business that is similar to or competitive with the Omnilux Products; (iii) disparage or defame GlobalMed or tortiously interfere with the contracts or other commercial relationships of GlobalMed with respect to any of the Assets; (iv) recruit or solicit for employment or a contract position, directly or indirectly, or offer to hire or hire any employee, contractor or agent of GlobalMed without GlobalMed’s prior written consent; and (v) solicit or take away, directly or indirectly, or enter into an agreement or other commercial relationship with, any person, entity or business that was a customer or prospective customer for the Omnilux Products without GlobalMed’s prior written consent or directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to induce any customers or prospective customers for the Omnilux Products as of the Closing Date to terminate their respective existing business relationships with Buyer after the Closing Date.

 

If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the restrictions set forth above is unreasonable or unenforceable, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that jurisdiction.

 

5.3           Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such State without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be finally settled by binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with said rules. If any legal action is necessary or brought in any court or arbitration proceeding, to enforce or interpret the terms of this agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs, and necessary expenses, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

 

5.4           Expenses. Each party to this Agreement will bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees) that have been incurred or that are incurred by or on behalf of such party in connection with this Agreement.

5.6           Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other party’s prior written consent. Nothing in this Agreement will create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement.

EXHIBIT B

MUTUAL NONDISCLOSURE ADDENDUM

 

1.  Each party (the “Disclosing Party,” as applicable) will provide the other party (the “Recipient,” as applicable) with certain confidential and proprietary information, equipment or other materials (collectively, “Confidential Information”), which Confidential Information may include, without limitation, marketing plans, research and development memoranda, prototypes, technical information and other information containing trade secrets and know-how, intellectual property and financial information and which Confidential Information may be disclosed in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible objects. In addition, the existence and terms of the Agreement will be deemed to constitute Confidential Information. However, for the avoidance of any doubt, as of the Effective Date, the Assets will constitute the Confidential Information of GlobalMed and will be protected by PhotoMedex for the sole benefit of GlobalMed. If the Agreement terminates prior to Closing, the previous sentence will be null and void and of no further force and effect; following Closing, Section 6 below will govern in perpetuity.

 

2.  Recipient will maintain all Confidential Information disclosed hereunder by the Disclosing Party in confidence and will not use or exploit such information or disclose such Information to any third party other than those of its employees, consultants, advisors, agents or representatives with a need to know such Information; provided that each such person or entity must execute or have executed an agreement or be subject to professional rules under which he, she or it is fully bound by the obligations of Recipient hereunder. Recipient will not use or exploit the Confidential Information except as necessary to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under the Agreement. Recipient will not reverse engineer or disassemble any software, equipment or other tangible objects that embody or incorporate the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Recipient will (i) mark any copies as Confidential Information and retain the Disclosing Party’s proprietary notices, (ii) safeguard the Confidential Information with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information and in no event less than a reasonable standard of care and (iii) immediately notify the Disclosing Party of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

 

3.  This Agreement will not apply to any Confidential Information that (i) becomes generally available to the public through no fault or breach of either party hereto or (ii) is required to be disclosed by Recipient as a matter of law or judicial or governmental mandate; provided that Recipient will use all reasonable efforts to provide the Disclosing Party with an opportunity to appear and object to such disclosure.

 

4.  The Disclosing Party warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information to Recipient. Except as set forth in the Agreement, including this Exhibit B, the Confidential Information disclosed hereunder remains the property of the Disclosing Party and no license or other rights in or to such Information, including rights under any trade secrets, copyrights or patents, is granted to Recipient hereby. THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION DISCLOSED HEREUNDER IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND THE DISCLOSING PARTY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS THEREOF.

 

5.  Recipient acknowledges that the Disclosing Party will suffer irreparable harm on any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information by Recipient. Accordingly, on any breach hereof by Recipient, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity.

 

6.  The Recipient will hold the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in confidence in perpetuity. Specifically, PhotoMedex will hold the Assets, including all of PhotoMedex’ Confidential Information, transferred, sold and assigned to GlobalMed under the Agreement in confidence in perpetuity.
