          (v) On the Adjustment Date, the Gross Consideration Shares shall be adjusted in the manner set forth in the following subparagraphs of this Section 2.6(a)(v):
  (1)   if, on the Adjustment Date, the Parent Class A Stock Adjustment Value shall be less than the Floor Value, then the Gross Consideration Shares shall be increased so that the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class A Stock to be delivered to Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (x) the Gross Consideration Shares determined on the Closing Date and (y) the Floor Value, by (ii) the Parent Class A Stock Adjustment Value; provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class A Stock to be delivered to Seller pursuant to this Agreement, if any, shall not, in any event, exceed 6,713,308 Shares (“Minimum Share Amount”);
 
  (2)   if, on the Adjustment Date, the Parent Class A Stock Adjustment Value shall be more than the Ceiling Value, then the Gross Consideration Shares shall be decreased so that the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class A Stock to be delivered to Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of (x) the Gross Consideration Shares determined on the Closing Date and (y) the Ceiling Value, by (ii) the Parent Class A Stock Adjustment Value; provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class A Stock to be redelivered to Parent pursuant to this Agreement, if any, shall not, in any event, exceed 401,651 Shares (“Maximum Share Amount”);
 
  (3)   For purposes of determining the adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.6(a)(v), calculations shall be made to four decimal places, with fractional shares, based upon such calculations, rounded, up or down, to the nearest whole number;

14


 

      Adjustment Value, or (iii) any combination of additional shares of Parent Class A Stock and cash;
 
  (5)   Any adjustments required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.6(a)(v), whether delivery by Sellers to Parent or by Parent to Sellers is required, shall be effected within five Business Days after the Adjustment Date; and
 
  (6)   If at any time after the Closing Date and prior to the Adjustment Date, the Parent Class A Stock shall be recapitalized or reclassified or Parent shall effect any stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split of Parent Class A Stock, or shall otherwise effect any transaction that changes the             shares of Parent Class A Stock into any other securities (including securities of another corporation), or shall make any other dividend (other than cash dividends) or distribution on the shares of Parent Class A Stock, then the Floor Value, Ceiling Value, Minimum Share Amount and Maximum Share Amount will, as appropriate, reflect such event and preserve the economic effect of the Floor Value, Ceiling Value, Minimum Share Amount and Maximum Share Amount as of the Closing Date.
          (b) The Initial Cash Amount shall be increased or decreased, as required, to effectuate the proration of revenues and expenses as of the Closing Date, as set forth on Schedule 2.6(b).

If, and to the extent that, a payment or accounts receivable in respect of an Assigned Contract relates to any period prior to the Closing Date is not received, is delinquent, or is otherwise due, then, in such event, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be the sole party responsible for, and with authority to, pursue any claims in respect of such amounts against any customer as provided in Section 6.4, and shall allocate any collected funds received in respect of such accounts receivable in a manner consistent with the allocation referred to in this Section 2.6(b) and Schedule 2.6(b). Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the accounts receivable and shall in good faith seek to collect accounts receivable not in dispute at the respective stated values thereof. So long as Purchaser and Parent are using their commercially reasonable efforts to collect the accounts receivable in a diligent manner consistent with the efforts undertaken with respect to all other receivables of Parent and Purchaser, except for the causes of action identified on Schedule 2.1(m), Sellers shall have no right to initiate or

15


 

institute any such causes of action or claims or exercise any such rights with respect to the Business or any Transferred Asset after the Closing Date unless requested by Parent.

Except as set forth in Section 4.15 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter, no creditor, employee, client, customer, supplier, Governmental Authority or other Person having a material business relationship with a Seller or the Business has informed either Seller or any Member, and each Seller has no knowledge, that such person intends to change such relationship because of the purchase and sale of the Business or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby.
               (b) Neither the sale and transfer of the Transferred Assets pursuant to this Agreement, nor Purchaser’s ownership, possession or use thereof from and after the Closing as a result of such sale and transfer, will result in or be subject to the imposition of any liability upon Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for appraisal rights or any other liability of any nature whatsoever owing to any Member or any other Person that has not been expressly assumed by Purchaser in this Agreement.
          4.16 Provided Information. All written information (excluding financial projections) concerning a Seller or the Business that has been prepared by or on behalf of a Seller or its officers or authorized representatives and that has been provided to Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective authorized representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, was, at the time made available, correct in all material respects and did not, at the time made available, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made. All financial projections concerning a Seller or the Business, whether oral or written, that have been prepared or made by or on behalf of a Seller or the Business or any of its officers or authorized representatives, and that have been provided to Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective authorized

33


 

representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been reasonably prepared or made on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of each Seller’s management as to the future financial performance of such Seller or the Business. Neither Seller has any knowledge that the future financial performance of the Business is unlikely to be consistent in all material respects with such financial projections.
          4.17 Documents Delivered. All documents which have been or shall be delivered to Purchaser by or on behalf of Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including all documents and agreements referenced in the Schedules or provided to Purchaser in connection with its due diligence investigation of each Seller) are or when so delivered shall be correct, current and complete copies of the originals thereof.
          4.18 Securities Laws.
               (a) Each Seller is acquiring the shares of Purchaser Class A Stock to be issued to it pursuant to this Agreement (the “Shares”) for its own account, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of any Shares in violation of the Securities Act; provided, however, that Sellers may distribute Shares to Members. Sellers and the Members have no present agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation or commitment providing for the distribution of any Shares, except for the distribution of Shares by Sellers to Members.
               (b) Each Seller and each Member, is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, with such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as is necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in Shares and is able to bear the economic risk associated with the acquisition of “restricted” securities. The sole general partner of HCL Holdings is Lenfest Enterprises 2, L.L.C., whose sole member and manager is H. Chase Lenfest, who, as a Member, has made the investment representations set forth in this Section 4.18. H. Chase Lenfest represents that an investment in the Shares by HCL Holdings is within the scope of permissible investments that HCL Holdings is able to undertake, and that H. Chase Lenfest has full authority to make investment decisions on behalf of HCL Holdings.
               (c) Each Seller and each Member that may receive Shares from a Seller, understands that the issuance of Shares to Sellers have not been and will not, except as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, be registered under the Securities Act, and that Shares issued to a Seller must continue to be held by such Seller unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration. Sellers understand that the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the provisions of which are known to it) depend on the satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if applicable Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS
          6.1 Confidentiality. The terms of the letter agreement, dated November 17, 2004, between Purchaser and CAMS, (the “Confidential Disclosure Agreement”), are hereby incorporated by reference, and each party hereto agrees to honor such terms as though such party was a party thereto. The obligations of the parties under this Section 6.1 and the Confidential Disclosure Agreement shall survive until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date. The Confidential Disclosure Agreement and such obligations shall terminate on such date.
          6.2 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or the Nasdaq Stock Market, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with, and use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate the comments of the other party before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and Parent intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Report on Form 8-K that will include this Agreement.

          6.3 Insurance. Following the Closing, neither Seller shall have any obligation to insure the Transferred Assets against any Loss in or under any insurance policy of Sellers or their Affiliates, and neither Parent nor Purchaser shall have any rights or obligations with respect to any such policy.

37


 

          6.4 Accounts Receivable. Subject to Section 2.6(b), from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right and authority to collect for its own account all accounts receivable of the Business and other related items that are included in the Transferred Assets, whether related to periods before or after the Closing, and to endorse with the name of the applicable Seller any checks or drafts received with respect to any accounts receivable or such other related items.
          6.5 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.
               (a) Subject to the Closing, and beginning on the Closing Date and ending on:
                    (i) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Parent, no Seller or Member shall directly or indirectly engage in a Competitive Business Activity (as defined below) anywhere in the Restricted Territory (as defined below). For all purposes hereof, the term “Competitive Business Activity” shall mean (i) engaging in, managing or directing persons engaged in any business that in any way competes with the Business as it exists on the Closing Date; (ii) acquiring or having an ownership interest in any entity which derives revenues from any business that in any way competes with the Business (except for (x) ownership of shares of Parent issued pursuant to this Agreement, or (y) acquiring, directly or indirectly, a passive non-controlling interest in a Person that provides the Competitive Business Activity in the Restricted Territory, which interest represents not more than a 5% equity interest or voting interest in such Person; or (iii) participating in the financing, operation, management or control of any firm, partnership, corporation, entity or business that derives revenues from any business that in any way competes with the Business; provided, however, that the operation of the Broadway Business in substantially the same manner as operated by Sellers prior to the date of this Agreement shall be deemed not to be a Competitive Business Activity. For all purposes hereof, the term “Restricted Territory” shall mean each and every country, province, state, city or other political subdivision in North America in which either Parent or Seller is currently engaged in business or otherwise distributes, licenses or sells products.
                    (ii) the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of CAMS, neither Parent nor Purchasers shall, nor will Parent or Purchaser permit any controlled affiliate of either of them to, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or attempt to solicit or induce or otherwise discuss with, advise or encourage or take any other action, in each case relating to the Broadway Business as it exists on the Closing Date, which is intended to solicit or induce or otherwise discuss with, advise or encourage the persons identified in Section 6.5(a)(ii) of the Sellers Disclosure Letter to leave or otherwise terminate such person’s Broadway Business relationship with CAMS.
               (b) Commencing on the date hereof, (i) no Seller or Member shall solicit, encourage or take any other action which is intended to induce or encourage any employee of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent or any Business Employee to terminate his or her

38


 

employment with Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent prior to May 1, 2007, and (ii) neither Purchaser nor Parent shall solicit, encourage or take any other action which is intended to induce or encourage any employee of a Seller after the Closing Date that is involved in the Broadway Business to terminate his or her employment with such Seller prior to May 16, 2006.
               (c) The covenants contained in Section 6.5(a) shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each country, province, state, city or other political subdivision of the Restricted Territory. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in Section 6.5(a). If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of Section 6.5(a) are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable Law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable Laws.
               (d) Each Seller and each Member acknowledges that (i) the value of the Transferred Assets is an integral component of the value of the Business to Purchaser and is reflected in the value of the total consideration to be received by Sellers, and (ii) Sellers’ and the Members’ agreement as set forth in Sections 6.5(a) and 6.5(b) are necessary to preserve the value of the Transferred Assets for Purchaser following the Closing. Each Seller and each Member also acknowledges that the limitations of time, geography and scope of activity agreed to in Section 6.5(a) are reasonable because, among other things, (A) Purchaser and Sellers are engaged in a highly competitive industry, (B) Sellers have had unique access to the trade secrets and know-how of the Transferred Assets including, without limitation, the plans and strategy (and, in particular, the competitive strategy) relating to the Transferred Assets, and (C) Sellers are receiving significant consideration in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
               (e) The parties agree that in the event of a breach by:
               (i) any Seller or Member of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 6.5(a)(i) and 6.5(b), monetary damages alone would be inadequate to fully protect Parent and Purchaser from, and compensate Parent and Purchaser for, the harm caused by such breach or threatened breach. Accordingly, each Seller and each Member agrees that if it or he breaches or threatens breach of any provision of Sections 6.5(a)(i) or 6.5(b), Parent and Purchaser shall be entitled to, in addition to any other right or remedy otherwise available, the right to injunctive relief restraining such breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any such provision of Sections 6.5(a)(i) or 6.5(b), and Parent or Purchaser shall not be required to post a bond in connection with, or as a condition to, obtaining such relief before a court of competent jurisdiction.

39


 

               (ii) Parent or Purchaser of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 6.5(a)(ii), monetary damages alone would be inadequate to fully protect CAMS from, and compensate CAMS for, the harm caused by such breach or threatened breach. Accordingly, each of Parent and Purchaser agrees that if it breaches or threatens breach of any provision of Sections 6.5(a)(ii), CAMS shall be entitled to, in addition to any other right or remedy otherwise available, the right to injunctive relief restraining such breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any such provision of Sections 6.5(a)(ii), and CAMS shall not be required to post a bond in connection with, or as a condition to, obtaining such relief before a court of competent jurisdiction.
          6.6 Listing. Parent agrees to take all action reasonably necessary to cause the shares of Parent Class A Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement to be authorized for listing or otherwise eligible for trading on the Relevant Market, subject to official notice of issuance.
          6.7 Defense of Litigation. Each of the parties agrees to vigorously defend against all actions, suits or proceedings in which such party is named as a defendant which seek to enjoin, restrain or prohibit the transactions contemplated hereby or seek damages with respect to such transactions. None of the parties will settle any such action, suit or proceeding or fail to perfect on a timely basis any right to appeal any judgment rendered or order entered against it therein without the consent of both Parent and Sellers Representative. Each of the parties further agrees to use its reasonable efforts to cause each of its Affiliates, members, directors and officers to vigorously defend any action, suit or proceeding in which such Affiliate, member, director or officer is named as a defendant and which seeks any such relief to comply with this Section to the same extent as if such Person were a party hereto.
          6.8 Restriction on Resale of the Parent Class A Stock. Each certificate representing any shares of Parent Class A Stock delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed with the legends set forth below, and each Seller and Member covenants that, except to the extent such restrictions are waived by Parent, it shall not transfer the shares represented by any such certificate except as permitted under the Lock-Up Agreement and in compliance with the restrictions on transfer described in the legends endorsed on such certificate.
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT AND, IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY, UPON DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SAID ACT.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS AGREEMENT ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED SEPTEMBER 7, 2005 AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN

40


 

COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT OR WAIVER BY THE COMPANY OF THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER IMPOSED THEREBY. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS AVAILABLE FROM THE SECRETARY OF OPENTV CORP.”
          6.9 Cooperation. Each party shall cooperate with each other and shall cause their respective officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to cooperate with each other after the Closing to facilitate the orderly transition of the Business to Purchaser and to minimize any disruption to the Business that might result from the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither party shall be required by this Section 6.9 to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business.
          6.10 Records. On the Closing Date, (i) Sellers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser all Records. After the Closing, upon reasonable written notice and at Purchaser’s sole expense, each Seller agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to Purchaser and its representatives (including its auditors), access at reasonable times and during normal business hours to such information relating to the Business in such Seller’s possession as is reasonably necessary or desirable for Purchaser’s conduct of the Business (including for financial reporting and accounting matters) and will permit Purchaser or such representatives to make abstracts from, or copies of, any of such information as may be requested by Purchaser at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate to reach a reasonable arrangement to minimize the disruption, if any of the normal operations of Sellers. For a period of seven (7) years following the Closing, Sellers will retain all of such information relating to the Business.
          6.11 Tax Matters.
               (a) Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely and properly file or cause to be timely and properly filed all Tax Returns of or with respect to the Business for all periods up to and including the Closing Date (taking into account valid extensions of time to file), and shall timely and properly pay or cause to be timely and properly paid the Taxes required to be paid with respect to such Tax Returns. Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely and properly file or cause to be timely and properly filed all other Tax Returns of or with respect to the Business, and shall timely and properly pay or cause to be timely and properly paid the Taxes required to be paid with respect to such Tax Returns.
               (b) Sellers and the Members shall, jointly and severally, be liable for and shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates from any and all Taxes (i) arising out of or resulting from, in connection with or otherwise with respect to any breach of representation or warranty of any Seller or Member contained in this Agreement, (ii) which relate to or result from any liability for Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Business for any period up to and including the Closing Date. Parent and Purchaser shall be jointly and severally liable for and shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates from any and all Taxes (i) arising out of or resulting from, in connection with or otherwise with respect to any breach of representation or warranty of Parent or Purchaser contained in this Agreement, (ii) which relate to or result from any liability for Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Business for any period beginning after the Closing Date. Unless otherwise

41


 

required by Law, the parties shall treat any indemnification payment under this Section 6.11 for foreign, federal, state and local income Tax purposes as an adjustment to the aggregate consideration paid to Sellers.
               (c) If notice of an audit, examination or other proceeding is received from any Tax authority (“Tax Notice”), which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to any Person hereunder (a “Tax Indemnitee”), the Tax Indemnitee shall promptly (in no event later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice) notify the party against whom indemnification is or may be sought (the “Tax Indemnitor”) in writing of such potential claim (a “Tax Claim”) and forward such Tax Notice to the Tax Indemnitor. If the Tax Notice and notice of a Tax Claim are not timely provided to the Tax Indemnitor, the Tax Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Tax Indemnitee to the extent that the Tax Indemnitor’s ability to effectively contest such Tax Claim is actually prejudiced as a result thereof.
               With respect to any Tax Claim, the Tax Indemnitor shall be entitled to control all audits, examinations and other proceedings in connection with such Tax Claim (including, without limitation, selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in its sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Tax authority with respect thereto and may, in its sole discretion, either pay any Tax claimed and sue for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided, that (i) the Tax Indemnitor has first delivered to the Tax Indemnitee with respect to such Tax Claim a written acknowledgement of its responsibility for such Tax Claim in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee, and (ii) the Tax Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise a Tax Claim without giving fifteen (15) days’ prior notice to the Tax Indemnitee, and without the Tax Indemnitee’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed, if such settlement or compromise would have an adverse effect on the Tax liabilities of the Tax Indemnitee for which the Tax Indemnitor would not be required to indemnify the Tax Indemnitee. The Tax Indemnitee, and each of its Affiliates, shall cooperate with the Tax Indemnitor in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the retention and (upon the Tax Indemnitor’s request) the provision to the Tax Indemnitor of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim, providing to the Tax Indemnitor necessary authorizations, including powers of attorney, to control any audits, examinations and other proceedings which the Tax Indemnitor is entitled to control pursuant to this paragraph (g) and executing any documents necessary for the Tax Indemnitor to settle any such audit, examination or other proceeding.
          6.12 Sellers Representative. Each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Sellers Representative as such Seller’s attorney-in-fact and agent to do any and all things and to execute any and all documents or other papers, in such Seller’s name, place and stead, in any way which such Seller could do if personally present, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, to make any and all decisions, to give any and all notices and instructions, to execute and deliver any and all instruments and to do any and all other things which the Transaction Documents require or permit either such Seller or the Sellers Representative to do, to amend, cancel or extend, or waive the terms of, this

42


 

Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or any other document or instrument, and take any and all other actions which, in the good faith judgment of the Sellers Representative, may be necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any manner in which and to the same extent that such Seller could do any of the foregoing and all such decisions, notices, instruments, things and actions shall be conclusive and binding on such Seller and its successors, assigns and legal representatives whether or not such Seller receives notice thereof or consents thereto. Each of the other parties to this Agreement and all other Persons shall be entitled to rely, as being binding upon such Seller, upon any document or other paper believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the Sellers Representative of such Seller, and shall not be liable to such Seller for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in such reliance. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be affected by the subsequent dissolution or other inability to act of any Seller granting the same. The power of attorney granted under this section 6.12 shall continue in full force until all rights and obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement shall have terminated, expired or been fully performed.
          6.13 License to Use Name. Purchaser shall permit CAMS to use the corporate name “CAM Systems, L.L.C.” for a period up to sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, during which period CAMS shall change its corporate name. CAMS shall discontinue any use thereof upon the expiration of such sixty-day period.
          6.14 Bulk Sales Law. Purchaser waives compliance by Sellers with any bulk sales or similar laws, and Sellers agree to indemnify Purchaser from any liability resulting from such noncompliance.

          7.2 Offers of Employment. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver written notice to Sellers Representative of the Business Employees that Purchaser proposes to hire effective as of the Closing Date. The Business Employees who accept Parent’s offer of employment shall be referred to as the “Hired Employees.”
          7.3 Employee Liabilities. Except as expressly provided below, all claims, allegations, obligations, debts and liabilities relating to any Hired Employees which are attributable to their employment with Sellers (including, without limitation, accrued vacation time and accrued bonuses) before the Closing shall be the responsibility of Sellers.

Sellers hereby certify to Purchaser and Parent that Sellers have paid all accrued vacation and bonus payments due to Hired Employees in respect of their employment prior to the Closing and Purchaser has no

obligation to provide severance payments to any Hired Employees in respect of their employment prior to the Closing Date.
          7.4 COBRA. Sellers shall provide continued health and medical coverage to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or any other applicable Law (“COBRA Coverage”) to all Business Employees (and their spouses, dependents and beneficiaries) with respect to “qualifying events” (as such term is defined under Sections 4980B(f)(3) of the Code or 603 of ERISA) or other triggering events described under the applicable Law that occur or occurred on or before the Closing Date. Parent shall provide COBRA Coverage to all Hired Employees (and their spouses, dependents and beneficiaries) with respect to “qualifying events,” or other triggering events described under the applicable Law that occur after the Closing Date. Sellers shall provide COBRA Coverage if and to the extent required, to all Business Employees who do not become Hired Employees, whether a qualifying or other triggering event occurs before, on or after the Closing Date with respect to such employee’s service with Sellers and their Affiliates. Sellers covenant that Sellers will not take, or fail to take, any action that would cause Purchaser to be considered to be a “successor employer” in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the applicable regulations promulgated under Section 4980B of the Code.
          7.5 Employee Benefit Plans of Sellers. Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall assume any liability, obligation or commitment with respect to the Employee Benefit Plans or any benefits or other amounts payable or provided under any Employee Benefit Plans, including any expense or claim incurred or paid by Hired Employees for which they are due reimbursement under the Employee Benefit Plans, or any notice, or any contract relating to employment or termination of employment between the Sellers and any of their employees or former employees, including Business Employees. Seller will make any and all required contributions to its 401(k) plan in respect of any Hired Employees through the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall assume no obligation with respect to any such matching obligations or commitments under Seller’s 401(k) plan. Seller shall cooperate with each Hired Employee to the extent necessary to enable each such Hired Employee, who so chooses, to “roll-over” his or her 401(k) plan account balance to similar plans maintained by Parent.
          7.6 Records The Sellers shall deliver to the Parent copies of all personnel records relating to the Hired Employees to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and will cooperate with Parent and use reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents necessary to cause such transfer.
          7.7 FICA. If Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser is a successor employer to either Seller within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, such Seller will transfer to Parent any records or copies thereof (including IRS Forms W-4 and California Employee Withholding Allowance Certificates) relating to withholding and payment of United States federal, state, and local income, disability, unemployment, FICA, and similar taxes (“Payroll Taxes”) with respect to wages paid by such Seller during the 2005 calendar year to Hired Employees. In accordance with Revenue Procedure 2004-53 and comparable state and local Payroll Tax Laws, (i) Parent agrees to provide Hired Employees subject to U.S. tax with Forms W-2, Wage and Tax Statements, for the 2005 calendar year setting forth the aggregate amount of wages paid to, and Payroll Taxes withheld in respect thereof, to Employees for the 2005 calendar year by Sellers

44


 

and Parent as predecessor and successor employers, respectively, and (ii) Sellers agree to cooperate fully with Parent in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Parent and Purchaser from any liability related to Payroll Taxes with respect to wages paid or owed by either Seller during the 2005 calendar year for the period ending on the Closing Date.
          7.8 Past Service. Parent shall give Hired Employees credit for periods of service credited by Sellers as of the Closing Date only for purposes of (i) eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under any employee benefit plan or arrangement maintained by Purchaser (except with respect to any incentive compensation, stock ownership, stock purchase, stock appreciation, restricted stock, stock option, “phantom” stock or performance plan or company-wide performance bonus plan), (ii) calculation of severance benefits and (iii) any other benefit as may be required by applicable Law.
ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
          8.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of each Seller, Parent, Purchaser, StarNet LLC and each Member contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date which is the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the 90th day after the filing date of Parent’s first Annual Report on Form 10-K that contains financial statements incorporating the Business, except as follows:
               (a) The representations and warranties of Sellers in the following Sections shall survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations period applicable to claims that may be asserted against Sellers or the Members in respect of the matters covered thereby: Sections 4.3 (Tax Matters), 4.9(b) (Environmental Matters), 4.10 (Employee Benefit Matters) and Section 4.11 (Employee Matters).
               (b) The representations and warranties of Sellers made in Section 4.6 (Intellectual Property Matters) shall survive for fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date.
               (c) The covenants and agreements of each party contained in Articles II, VI, VII, VIII, and IX of this Agreement which are not performed in full as of the Closing shall survive for the period specified in each Section thereof, or, if no period is specified, until they are performed in full.
          8.2 Indemnification by Sellers and the Lenfest Members.
               (a) Sellers and the Lenfest Members, jointly and severally, agree from and after the Closing, subject to Section 8.4, to indemnify Parent, Purchaser and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) against and hold each of them harmless for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (hereinafter a “Loss”) as actually suffered or incurred by the Parent Indemnified Parties (other than any

45


 

Losses with respect to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 6.11), arising out of, resulting from, in connection with or otherwise with respect to:
                    (i) any breach of any representation, warranty, or certification of either Seller contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document;
                    (ii) any breach of any covenant of either Seller contained in any Article of this Agreement (including Articles VI and VII) or in any Transaction Document;
                    (iii) any Excluded Liability, including a Liability of either Seller that becomes a Liability of Parent or Purchaser under any bulk transfer law of any jurisdiction, under any common law doctrine of de facto merger or successor liability or otherwise by operation of Law; and
                    (iv) any Liability arising out of or in connection with Seller’s ownership of the Transferred Assets or operation of the Business prior to the Closing.
The Lenfest Members, jointly and severally, represent that they have adequate financial resources to satisfy the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement, and the omission of HCL Holdings as an indemnitor under this Article VIII does not adversely affect the financial capability of the Lenfest Members to perform fully and punctually such agreements in accordance with their terms.
               (b) H. F. Lenfest agrees severally and H. Chase Lenfest agrees jointly and severally with respect to himself and HCL Holdings to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Parties against and hold each of them harmless from any and all Losses suffered or incurred by the Parent Indemnified Parties arising out of, resulting from, in connection with or otherwise with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty of such Member contained in Article III.
               (c) For purposes of indemnification under Section 8.2, any misstatement of fact or set of facts in any representation or warranty of Sellers or any of the Members contained in this Agreement (including in the Sellers Disclosure Letter or any certificate delivered or to be delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) shall be deemed to constitute a breach of such representation or warranty, notwithstanding any limitation or qualification as to knowledge or materiality set forth in such representation, warranty or certificate on the scope, accuracy or completeness thereof, it being the intention of the parties hereto that Parent and Purchaser shall each, subject to the provisions of Section 8.4(a) hereof, be indemnified and held harmless from and against any and all Losses caused by or resulting from the failure of any such representation, warranty or certificate to be true, correct and complete in any respect (without giving effect to any limitation or qualification, as to materiality or knowledge or otherwise, with respect thereto), or the failure by Sellers or any of the Members to duly and punctually perform any covenant, agreement or undertaking of Sellers or each Member contained in this Agreement.
          8.3 Indemnification by Parent. Parent agrees from and after the Closing, subject to Section 8.4, to indemnify each Seller and each of its officers, members, employees, agents and

46


 

representatives (collectively, the “Sellers Indemnified Parties”) against and hold each of them harmless for any and all Losses as actually suffered or incurred by the Sellers Indemnified Parties (other than any Losses with respect to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 6.11) arising out of, resulting from, in connection with or otherwise with respect to:
               (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Parent or Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document that survives the Closing;
               (b) any breach of any covenant of Parent or Purchaser contained in any Article of this Agreement (including Articles VI and VIII) or in any Transaction Document;
               (c) any Assumed Liability; and
               (d) any Liability arising out of or in connection with Parent or Purchaser’s ownership of the Transferred Assets or operation of the Business following the Closing.
          8.4 Limits on Indemnification.
               (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Sellers and the Members shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Parties against or reimburse any Parent Indemnified Party for any Loss pursuant to Section 8.2(a), unless (i) the applicable Parent Indemnified Parties have notified Sellers in writing in accordance with Section 8.5(c) within the applicable survival period set forth in Section 8.1; and (ii) the aggregate of all Losses for which Sellers would, but for this clause (ii), be liable exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $100,000 (in which event Sellers shall be liable for the entire amount of such Losses); provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to any claim for indemnification for Purchaser Special Losses. In addition to the foregoing, in no event shall Sellers and the Members be liable for any Losses in an aggregate amount that exceeds $7,500,000, other than Purchaser Special Losses as to which there shall be no limit on liability. “Purchaser Special Losses” means (A) any Losses arising pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii) or 8.2(a)(iv) (in the case of Section 8.2(a)(iv) to the extent not otherwise within the scope of Purchaser’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8.3(d)), (B) any Losses resulting from an intentional breach of any representation or warranty by Sellers or any of the Members, and (C) any Losses arising from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Sellers or any of the Members in any of the following Sections: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2(b), 4,3, 4.4(a), 4.6(b), 4.7(a), 4.9(b), 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 and the last sentence of 8.2(a).
               (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Sellers Indemnified Parties against or reimburse any Sellers Indemnified Party for any Loss pursuant to Section 3.3 unless the applicable Sellers Indemnified Parties have notified Parent in writing in accordance with Section 8.5(c) within the applicable survival period, if any, set forth in Section 8.1. In addition to the foregoing, in no event shall Parent and Purchaser be liable for any Losses in an aggregate amount that exceeds $10,000,000, other than Sellers Special Losses as to which there shall be no limit on liability. “Sellers Special Losses” means (A) any Losses arising pursuant to Section 8.3(c) or 8.3(d) (in the case of Section 8.3(d) to the

47


 

extent not otherwise within the scope of Sellers’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iv) , (B) any Losses resulting from an intentional breach of any representation or warranty by Parent or Purchaser, and (C) a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Parent or Purchaser in any of Section 2.3, Sections 2.5(a)-(d), Section 5.1, the last sentence of Section 5.2, Section 5.5 and the Registration Rights Agreement.
               (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Indemnifying Person shall, in any event, be liable to the other party for any consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of revenue or income, cost of capital, diminution in value, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not seek punitive damages as to any matter under, relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than in connection with an intentional breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document. The foregoing shall not be interpreted, however, to limit indemnification for Losses incurred as a result of the assertion by a claimant (other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns) in a Third-Party Claim of claims for damages of the foregoing type.
          8.5 Procedures Relating to Indemnification (Other than for Tax Claims).
               (a) In order for an Indemnified Person to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement (other than for Tax Claims) in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any third party against the Indemnified Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person must notify the Indemnifying Person in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third-Party Claim promptly, but within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Person of written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any Losses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Person failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Person shall deliver to the Indemnifying Person, within five (5) Business Days after the Indemnified Person’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Person relating to the Third-Party Claim.
               (b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Person and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; provided, that an Indemnifying Person shall only be entitled to assume such defense if it first delivers a written acknowledgment of its indemnity obligations hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Indemnified Person; provided, further, the Indemnifying Person shall have no such right to assume such defense in the event that the Third-Party Claim relates to an Action in which injunctive relief has been sought against an Indemnified Party’s business. Should the Indemnifying Person so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will not be liable to the Indemnified Person for legal fees and expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in

48


 

connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person, it being understood that the Indemnifying Person shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel employed by the Indemnified Person for any period during which the Indemnifying Person has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Person shall have failed to give notice of the Third-Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any Third-Party Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Person’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Person of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.5, in the event a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Person as to which such Indemnified Person is entitled to seek indemnification hereunder and the Indemnified Party, after conferring with its counsel, reasonably determines that a non-waivable conflict of interest makes separate representation by the Indemnified Party’s own counsel advisable, then the Indemnified Person may elect to retain and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim with one counsel selected by such Indemnified Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party and will be entitled to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Person for reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel incurred in such defense. If (but only if) an Indemnifying Person shall have acknowledged in writing its indemnity obligations hereunder with respect to a Third-Party Claim, then whether or not the Indemnifying Person shall have assumed the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Person’s prior written consent. No Indemnifying Party shall settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is sought against the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnified Party consents in writing to such settlement or compromise.
               (c) In order for an Indemnified person to be entitled to any indemnification provided for in this Agreement (other than Tax Claims) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person must deliver a notice (an “Indemnity Notice”) to the Indemnifying Person stating the amount of Loss, if known and the basis for the computation thereof and providing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which the right of indemnification is claimed or arises.
               (d) All Tax Claims (as defined in Section 6.11(c)) shall be governed by Section 6.11(c).
          8.6 Exclusive Remedies. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of any party, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing Date with respect to any and all claims relating to breaches of representations or warranties contained in

49


 

this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party waives, from and after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action arising in connection with breaches of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, it or any of its Affiliates may have against the other (and its Affiliates) (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII).
ARTICLE IX
GENERAL PROVISIONS
          9.1 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and applicable Law, each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties shall (and shall cause their respective members, directors, officers and Subsidiaries, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective Affiliates, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants and representatives, to) consult and fully cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to each other in (i) using all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents, approvals, waivers, licenses, permits, authorizations, registrations, qualifications, or other permissions or actions by, and giving all necessary notices to and making all necessary filings with and applications and submissions to, any Governmental Authority or other Person; (ii) using all commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be lifted any Injunction; (iii) providing all such information about such party, its Subsidiaries and its officers, members, directors, partners and Affiliates to, and making all applications and filings with, any Governmental Authority or other Person as may be necessary or reasonably requested in connection with any of the foregoing; and (iv) in general, consummating and making effective the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that in order to obtain any consent, approval, waiver, license, permit, authorization, registration, qualification, or other permission or action or the lifting of any Injunction, or causing to be rescinded or rendered inapplicable any statute, rule or regulation, referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence, no party shall be required to pay any consideration (other than customary filing and similar fees), to divest itself of any of, or otherwise rearrange the composition of, its assets or to agree to any of the foregoing or any other condition or requirement that is materially adverse or burdensome. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, prior to making any application to or filing with any Governmental Authority or other Person in connection with this Agreement, each party shall provide the other party with drafts thereof and afford the other party a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts.
          9.2 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable by any Seller, on the one hand, or, Parent or Purchaser, on the other hand, (other than following the Closing by operation of Law or in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all the assets of Sellers or Parent) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, that prior to the Closing, Purchaser may assign in whole or in part its rights and obligations hereunder to any Subsidiary of Parent without the consent of any other party hereto, provided, further, that Parent remains liable for its obligations hereunder.

50


 

          9.3 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any person or entity, other than the parties hereto and such assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.
          9.4 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense. If any action or other proceeding relating to the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement is brought by any party hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.
          9.5 Equitable Relief The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity without the necessity of demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary damages or the posting of a bond.
          9.6 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.
          9.7 Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or telecopy (which is confirmed), or sent, postage prepaid, by express mail, or reputable overnight courier service (providing proof of delivery) and shall be deemed given when so delivered by hand, or telecopied, or one (1) Business Day after dispatch in the case of express mail or overnight courier service, to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party specified by like notice, provided that notice of a change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof) as follows:

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to transactions contemplated hereby, including the letter of intent, dated May 10, 2005, between OpenTV, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and CAMS.
          9.13 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
               (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.
               (b) Each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York, New York solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such

53


 

document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a New York City State or Federal court. The parties hereby consent to jurisdiction over the person of such parties and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.7 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
               (c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.13.
          9.14 Joint Participation in Drafting this Agreement; Disclosure References; Rules of Construction. The parties acknowledge and confirm that each of their respective attorneys have participated jointly in the drafting, review and revision of this Agreement and that it has not been written solely by counsel for one party and that each party has had the benefit of its independent legal counsel’s advice with respect to the terms and provisions hereof and its rights and obligations hereunder. Each party hereto, therefore, stipulates and agrees that the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be or may be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement to favor any party against another and that no party shall have the benefit of any legal presumption or the detriment of any burden of proof by reason of any ambiguity or uncertain meaning contained in this Agreement. For purposes of the Agreement, any representation of StarNet LLC, each Member, and each Seller (each, a “Seller Party”) set forth in Articles III and IV (other than the representations set forth in Section 3.3 and 4.1) that references a “Law” or a “Governmental Authority,” shall, for purposes of such representation, be deemed to be qualified to the “knowledge of” such Seller Party insofar as such representation references a matter of local laws or a local, municipal or foreign governmental authority (including political subdivisions thereof), in each case whether or not such qualification appears within the representation itself, and in no event shall a breach of any such representation as so qualified be deemed an “intentional” breach thereof unless such Seller Party had actual knowledge that such representation, with respect to the matters so qualified, was false when made; provided that this rule of construction shall not otherwise affect the interpretation or reading of any representation that references a Law or Governmental Authority.
