(c)Acknowledgments. Seller agrees and acknowledges that the covenants in this Section 5.1 are reasonable and valid in all respects and are necessary to protect the corporate good will, Confidential Information and Intellectual Property Rights, and other legitimate interests of the Parties, and such covenants represent only a limited restraint. Further, Seller

​

35

​

acknowledges that, without the restrictions contained in this Section 5.1, the benefits of the Contemplated Transactions could be devalued, lost or circumvented, particularly in light of the nature and ongoing development of any RPGR Product, and that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement without the restrictions contained in this Section 5.1. The provisions of this Section 5.1 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other similar provisions to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is bound.

(d)Interpretation. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 5.1 are necessary and reasonable to protect Buyer in the conduct of its business and are a material inducement to Buyer’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and its willingness to enter into the Contemplated Transactions.

(e)Validity. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that this Section 5.1 will be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any restriction set forth in this Section 5.1 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (e.g., because it extends for too long a period of time, over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area), the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, delete specific words or phrases, or replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. The agreements contained in this Section 5.1 shall each constitute a separate agreement independently supported by good and adequate consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that Seller will benefit substantially from the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and that the consideration that Seller will receive upon such consummation is adequate to support Seller’s agreement to be bound by the covenants set forth herein.

(f)Injunctive Relief. Seller understands that a breach of this Section 5.1 by Seller may cause Buyer or its Affiliates irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated by money damages. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Seller of this Section 5.1, Buyer or, as applicable, any of its Affiliates will be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce the provisions hereof (without need to post bond), in addition to such other remedies to which Buyer or its Affiliates may be entitled, including the recovery of money damages and its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred thereby.

Section 5.2.Certain Tax Matters.

(a)Transfer Taxes. All recordation, transfer, documentary, excise, sales, value added, use, stamp, conveyance or other similar Taxes, duties or governmental charges, and all recording or filing fees or similar costs, imposed or levied by reason of, in connection with or attributable to this Agreement or the Acquisition (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne equally between Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand. Transfer Taxes shall be timely paid, and all applicable filings, reports and returns shall be filed, as provided by applicable Law.

(b)Tax Withholding. Buyer and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Document any Taxes or other amounts required under the Code or any applicable Law to be deducted and withheld; provided that, if Buyer becomes aware that any such withholding is required, it shall, prior to withholding any Taxes from payments to Seller hereunder, inform Seller of such requirement, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller in executing any documents and taking any other commercially reasonable actions necessary to reduce or eliminate the need for such withholding. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and any Related Document as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any compensatory amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement shall be remitted by the applicable payer to the applicable employer for payment through such employer’s payroll procedure in accordance with applicable Law.

(c)Cooperation and Exchange of Information.

(i)Each of Seller and Buyer shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns in respect of the Purchased Assets or the Business and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes in respect thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(ii)Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

Section 5.3.Public Announcements. Seller may issue a press release within thirty (30) days of Closing, substantially in the form attached here as Exhibit H. Thereafter, Seller and its Affiliates shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to the provisions of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions without the prior written consent of Buyer; provided, however, that Seller shall have the right to issue a press release disclosing the receipt of any Development Milestone Payment hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Related Document, either Party may issue a press release or make a public statement with respect to the Contemplated Transactions without the consent of the other Party as may be required by Law or any listing agreement with any applicable securities exchange or market (including public disclosure of the existence of this Agreement and the terms hereof in a current or periodic report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission); provided that such release or filing is provided to the other Party for prior review and comment. The foregoing shall not limit any non-public equity

​

holder communication of either Party or any disclosure made in connection with a court pleading.

Section 5.4.Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, each of Seller and Buyer shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

​

43

​

6.2, Buyer (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Third Party Claim (including in such notice a brief description of the applicable claim(s), including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known by such Indemnified Party) [***] after receipt by such Indemnified Party of actual notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification or any deficiency in such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure or deficiency.
