As a result, from and after the Closing, the Company and the Additional Parties will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, for any reason divulge to any third party or use for its own benefit, or for any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates, any Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or any Additional Party (or any of their Affiliates) is compelled to disclose Confidential Information by Court Order, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Company or applicable Additional Party shall promptly so notify Purchaser so that Purchaser may seek a protective order or other assurance that confidential treatment of such Confidential Information shall be afforded, and the Company or the applicable Additional Party shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates in connection therewith. If the Company or the applicable Additional Party (or any of their Affiliates) is so obligated by Court Order to disclose Confidential Information, it or they, as applicable will disclose only the minimum amount of such Confidential Information as is necessary for such Person to comply with such Court Order. For purposes of this Section 6.9.1, “Confidential Information” shall mean nonpublic information concerning the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, financial data, strategic business plans, product development (or other proprietary product data), customer lists and requirements, marketing plans and other nonpublic, proprietary and confidential information relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Company.

 

6.9.2.       Acknowledgements. The Company and the Additional Parties acknowledge that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6.9 and in the Company Restrictive Covenant Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates, that the duration and scope of the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable given the global geographic scope of the Business, and that Purchaser would not enter into this Agreement but for the agreement of such parties to be bound by the Restrictive Covenants. The Company and the Additional Parties also acknowledge that any Claim that the Company or any Additional Party may have against Purchaser shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Purchaser of the Restrictive Covenants. The Restrictive Covenants are independent of any other provision in this Agreement and of any other promise made to the Company or any Additional Party.

 

6.9.3.       Accounting. If the Company, any Additional Party or any of their Affiliates breach any of the Restrictive Covenants, Purchaser or its Affiliates, as applicable, will have the right and remedy to require such breaching party to account for and pay over to Purchaser or his Affiliates, as applicable, all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by such breaching party as the result of such breach. This right and remedy will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Purchaser and its Affiliates under law or in equity or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.10.     Judicial Modification of Covenants. If any covenant contained in this Agreement or any part thereof is hereafter construed by a court having jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of such covenant or any other covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions, and any court having jurisdiction shall have the power to modify such covenant to the least extent necessary to render it enforceable and, in its modified form, said covenant shall then be enforceable and, in the event any provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, each party will request such modification by the applicable court. Neither the Company nor any Additional Party shall assert that such restrictions should be eliminated in their entirety by such court.

 

Section 6.11.     Tax Matters. Notwithstanding Section 1.2.3, if any jurisdiction requires Purchaser to file a Tax Return with respect to any Purchased Asset or the Business for a Straddle Period, the parties agree that the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period up to and including the Closing Date (the “Interim Period”) shall be determined by (i) in the case of Taxes not based on income, receipts or expenses, multiplying the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Interim Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of Taxes based on income, receipts or expenses, such Taxes shall be allocated to the Interim Period based on a closing of the books method as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Tax Returns, Tax liability, or audit or other proceeding. Each Party will retain all Tax Returns and related records and materials of Company for the Tax periods first ending after the Closing Date and for all prior Tax periods until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent the other Party reasonably requests, any extensions thereof) for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other records and materials relate, and abide by any applicable record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority. Thereafter, the Party holding such Tax Returns or related records or materials may dispose of them provided that such Party shall give the other Party the notice in accordance with Section 9.2 prior to doing so, and if the other Party so requests allow the other Party to take possession or make copies of such Tax Returns or related records or materials. Each Party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis (at the cost of the party requesting access to such employees) to provide explanation of any documents or information so provided.

 

Section 6.14.     Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser; provided that such waiver will not relieve any Party of any obligation such Party may have to indemnify for any obligations and liabilities related to any Taxes of the Company for any taxable period and Taxes related to the Business or the Acquired Assets for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (including Taxes attributable to an Interim Period under Section 6.11), including any such Taxes that become an obligation or liability of Purchaser as a transferee or successor or pursuant to any Applicable Law.

The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such claim that is defended by such Indemnifying Party Representative with co-counsel of its choice; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified Party unless (i) such Indemnifying Party Representative has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses or (ii) a claim shall have been brought or asserted against the Indemnified Party as well as the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably determined that there are one or more factual or legal defenses available to it that are in conflict with those that are available to the Indemnifying Party, in which case such co-counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Assuming the defense of such claim shall constitute an admission by the Indemnifying Party that such claim is a proper or valid claim for indemnification, but shall not constitute an admission by the Indemnifying Party, as to the amount of the Damages asserted in the Claim.

 

8.4.2.       The Indemnifying Party Representative shall have full right to enter into any compromise or settlement that is dispositive of the matter involved; provided, however, that (i) except for the settlement of a Third Party Claim (A) that involves no obligation of any Indemnified Party other than the payment of money for which indemnification in full is provided hereunder or (B) that is related to Taxes, the Indemnifying Party Representative shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party Representative may not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of a Third Party Claim that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim; provided further, that, if in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party it would be materially harmed or otherwise prejudiced by not entering into a proposed settlement or compromise and the Indemnifying Party Representative refuses to enter into such settlement or compromise, the Indemnified Party may enter into such settlement or compromise, but such settlement or compromise shall not be conclusive as to the existence or amount of the liability of Indemnifying Party or any Third Party.

 

8.4.3.       If the Indemnifying Party Representative does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense and the Indemnified Party shall have full right to enter into any compromise or settlement on its behalf that is dispositive of the matter involved.

 

8.4.4.       The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto.

 

8.4.5.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provision of this Article 8 shall be construed to limit, re-characterize or otherwise modify those Liabilities that are Excluded Liabilities.

 

Section 8.5.         Recovery From Escrow Account.

 

8.5.1.       The Escrow Account shall be available to compensate each of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Damages suffered or incurred by each such Purchaser Indemnified Party for which such Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification by any party pursuant to Article 8. Upon the determination that such Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification for Damages hereunder, then, such number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock (rounded up or down to the nearest whole share) determined pursuant to Section 8.6 (the “Indemnity Cancelled Purchaser Stock”) shall be returned to Purchaser, deemed to be cancelled and all rights the Company may have to such Purchaser Common Stock shall be extinguished. Purchaser and the Company shall promptly inform the Escrow Agent of the number of shares of Indemnity Cancelled Purchaser Stock and shall take such action as is necessary to have the Escrow Agent promptly return to Purchaser certificates representing such number of shares of Indemnity Cancelled Purchaser Stock.

 

8.5.2.       All claims for recovery for any Damages from the Escrow Account shall be made pursuant to and in accordance with, and governed by the terms of, the Escrow Agreement and Section 8.6.2.

Section 8.6.         Distribution of Escrow Fund.

 

8.6.1.       Subject to the requirements of this Agreement, the Escrow Account shall remain in existence until the Escrow Termination Date (the “Escrow Period”). Upon the expiration of the Escrow Period, the Escrow Purchaser Shares remaining in the Escrow Fund shall promptly be delivered to the Company as provided in the Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that at the conclusion of the Escrow Period, any portion of the Escrow Fund that is the subject of an unresolved or unsatisfied claim for Damages (including potential future Damages pursuant to pending Claims or Third-Party Claims) that has been made by Purchaser in accordance with the Escrow Agreement prior to the Escrow Termination Date shall remain in the Escrow Account until such claims have been finally and fully resolved or satisfied in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement. Purchaser and the Company shall cause the Escrow Agent to deliver the remaining portion of the Escrow Account not required to satisfy such claims to the Company immediately. Deliveries from the Escrow Account to the Company pursuant to this Section 8.6 and the Escrow Agreement shall be made as provided in the Escrow Agreement.

 

8.6.2.       Except with regard to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(viii), all calculations intended to determine the number of Purchaser Common Stock applicable to a particular claim for indemnification under this Article 8 shall be made using the Release Date Share Value as of the date any Escrow Purchaser Shares are to be released to the Company or returned to Purchaser and deemed cancelled and all calculations shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share. Calculations intended to determine the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock applicable to a claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(viii) shall be made using the Closing Date Share Value.

 

Section 8.7.         Adjustments to Consideration8.7.1.. All indemnification payments under this Article 8 shall be treated as adjustments to the Consideration for Tax purposes, except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law.
