If the Indemnifying Party has disputed its indemnity obligation for any Losses with respect to such claim, the parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations within thirty (30) days after notice of such notice was given to the Indemnifying Party, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section ‎11.5.

 

9.5. Calculation of Losses.

 

9.5.1. The amount of any Losses payable under Section ‎9.2 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any (a) amounts recovered (and subject to Indemnified Party obligations pursuant to Section ‎9.5.4) by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies (less the amount of any premium paid) or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor and (b) Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Losses. In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to fully utilize, at the highest marginal tax rate then in effect, all Tax items arising from the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Losses. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount, including any premium paid.

 

9.5.2. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section ‎9.2 for any (a) Losses relating to any matter to the extent that (A) there is included in the Financial Statements a specific liability or reserve relating to such matter or (B) the Indemnified Party had otherwise been compensated for such matter pursuant to the Purchase Price adjustment hereunder.

 

9.5.3. An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover Losses or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any Loss, breach or other set of circumstances which gives rise to more than one Claim.

 

 38 

 

 

9.5.4. Each Indemnified Party must mitigate in accordance with Applicable Law any loss for which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement, including by enforcement of its rights under any applicable insurance policies. If such Indemnified Party mitigates its loss after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of that loss, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party and pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of the value of the benefit to the Indemnified Party of that mitigation (less the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs of mitigation) within two Business Days after the benefit is received.

 

9.5.5. Adjustment to Purchase Price. Buyer and Seller agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Section ‎9.2 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

 

9.5.6. Each Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible, for any Losses payable under Section ‎9.2.

 

9.6. Assignment of Claims. If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section ‎9.2 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying Claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment.

 

9.7. Exclusivity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all remedies whatsoever sought by Buyer Indemnified Parties, their affiliates, the Company or anyone acting to their behalf in connection with this Agreement and under any law, whether in contracts, torts, restitution or otherwise, shall be subject to the limitations in Section ‎9.2. Indemnification under Section ‎9.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties, their affiliates, the Company or anyone acting to their behalf for a breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement and the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any further remedies in respect thereof under Applicable Law or otherwise, all of which Indemnified Parties hereby waives, provided (i) that Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and other equitable remedies (ii) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall limit the rights, remedies and claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to any fraud or willful misconduct by any Indemnifying Party. Without derogating from the generality of the forgoing and other than in the event of fraud or willful misconduct, Buyer, on behalf of itself and Buyer Indemnified Parties, their affiliates, the Company (to the maximum extent permitted by law), its directors, officers, employees and/or anyone acting on their behalf, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any demand and/or claim of any kind whatsoever they may have against any officers or directors of Seller Parties and the Company with respect to the period prior to Closing, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including but not limited to negligence) or otherwise, including claims for breach of duty, provided that any claims by the Company that are not permitted by law to be waived, shall be subject to all limitations under this Section ‎9.

 

10. TERMINATION

 

10.1. Grounds for Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

 

10.1.1. by mutual written agreement of Seller Parties and Buyer;

 

10.1.2. by either Seller Party or Buyer if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before the later of (i) 60 days following Effective Date and (ii) 15 days of the date that the Company delivered to the Buyer the 2017 Statements (the “End Date”) (subject however to the automatic extension, if applicable, as set forth in Section ‎2.3 above, provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section ‎10.1.2 shall not be available to any Party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the consummation of the Closing on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach of this Agreement;

 

 39 

 

 

10.1.3. by either Seller Party or Buyer if any Applicable Law irrevocably prohibits or makes the consummation of the transactions illegal, or if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction;

 

10.1.4. by Buyer, if there has been a material breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of Seller Parties contained in this Agreement, which breach has not been cured within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of written notice of the breach from Buyer;

 

10.1.5. by the Buyer, if a Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred after the date hereof;

 

10.1.6. by a Seller Party, if there has been a material breach of any of Buyer’s representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, and which material breach has not been cured or cannot be cured within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of written notice of breach from Seller Party.

 

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections ‎10.1.2 - ‎10.1.6 shall give notice of such termination to the other Party, specifying the provision or provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is being effected.

 

10.2. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section ‎10.1, such termination shall be without liability of either Party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such Party) to the other Parties to this Agreement; provided that if such termination shall result from the (i) failure of either Party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other Party, (ii) failure to perform a covenant of this Agreement or (iii) material breach by either Party of any representation or warranty or agreement contained herein, such Party shall be fully liable for any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the other Party as a result of such failure or breach, excluding however any indirect, special, consequential or punitive Losses, such as loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of a business opportunity or loss of goodwill. The provisions of Sections 1 (Definitions and Interpretations), ‎9 (Indemnification, except ‎9.1), which shall apply, mutatis mutandis, 10 (Termination) and ‎11 (Miscellaneous) shall survive any termination hereof.

 

10.3. Buyer Termination Fee.

 

10.3.1. Buyer shall pay to Seller and/or Parent, as shall be instructed in writing by Parent, a termination fee in an amount of US$ 300,000 (the “Buyer Termination Fee”) if this Agreement is terminated by Buyer or a Seller Party:

 

10.3.1.1. pursuant to Section ‎10.1.6; or

 

10.3.1.2. pursuant to Section ‎10.1.2 and (a) all of the conditions set forth in Section ‎8.1 have been satisfied, and (b) Buyer shall have failed to consummate the Closing by the End Date.

 

 40 

 

 

10.3.2. Buyer shall pay to Seller the Buyer Termination Fee by wire transfer of same-day funds within two (2) Business Days following the date of termination of this Agreement, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section ‎10.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Seller Parties would not have entered into this Agreement; accordingly, if Buyer fails to promptly pay the Buyer Termination Fee when due pursuant to this Section ‎10.3, and in order to obtain such payment Seller makes a claim against Buyer that results in an order against Buyer, then in such case, Buyer shall pay to Seller Parties the Buyer Termination Fee and all of Seller Parties’ costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such claim, together with interest on the full amount of the Buyer Termination Fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller as sole and exclusive remedy (if collected by Seller, and other than in the event of fraud or willful misconduct), in the circumstances in which such fee is due and payable, for the efforts and resources expended, for the damages that will be suffered by Seller Parties and their respective businesses as a result of the termination of this Agreement and for the opportunities forgone by Seller Parties while negotiating this Agreement and in the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

 

10.3.3. In the event that any of the conditions set forth in Section ‎8.1 have not been satisfied within the applicable timeframes (other than non-fulfillment due to a material breach of any of Buyer’s representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement), without derogating from any remedy entitled to under this Agreement and under applicable law, Seller Parties shall not be entitled to the Buyer Termination Fee, and the Buyer and Seller Parties shall then immediately jointly instruct in writing the Escrow Agent to immediately release the Buyer Termination Fee to the Buyer in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.
