3.1.3. A party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party from whom such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section (a “Claim”) as soon as practicable after the party entitled to indemnification becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section (but in any event on or prior to the applicable expiration date described below in Section 10) which contains (i) a description and the amount of any damages incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such damages; provided, however that any delay or failure of any Indemnified Party with regard to notifying any Indemnifying Party of any Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability hereunder except to the extent that the defense of such action is prejudiced by such delay or failure to notify or promptly notify. Within 15 days after delivery of a notice of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (I) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the damages claimed (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the damages claimed, by check or by wire transfer), (II) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the damages claimed and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), or (III) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the damages claimed and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the damages claimed, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. Any survival period time limitation specified in Section 10 below shall not apply to a Claim which has been the subject of notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party given prior to the expiration of such period. After such notice, if the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action (provided such defense and investigation are pursued in a diligent and professional manner); (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk, and expense unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Indemnifying Party does assume the defense of such Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to fully participate in such defense (including engaging attorneys of its own choice), at its sole expense, and the Indemnifying Party (and its chosen attorneys) shall keep the Indemnified Party (and its attorneys) reasonably informed and shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party (and its attorneys) in connection with such participation. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such claim within 15 days after receipt of the notice of a Claim, the Indemnified Party against which such Claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party (which defense shall be pursued in a diligent and professional manner); provided, however, that such Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the Claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Party from and against any damages by reason of such settlement or judgment.

3.1.4. For purposes of this Section, including the determination of Claims by Buyer, any and all references to “material” limitations or limitations as to “knowledge” in Seller’s representations and warranties, while being taken into account for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred giving rise to a Claim by Buyer for Adverse Consequences for which Buyer is to be indemnified, shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the amount of said Claim.

3.1.5. Neither party shall be required to indemnify the other party pursuant to this Section unless or until the aggregate monetary amount of Adverse Consequences exceeds $10,000.00 (the “Basket”) following which the Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party (subject to the Indemnity Cap) only for the monetary amounts of Adverse Consequences in excess of the Basket.

3.1.6. No party shall be required to indemnify the other party for an aggregate amount of Adverse Consequences in excess of the lesser of: (i) the amount of the Cash Portion that Buyer has paid to the Seller pursuant to Section 1.3(b) as of the date of the Claim, or (ii) $200,000 (the “Indemnity Cap”).

 

3.1.7. In no event shall the provisions of this Section in any way modify or otherwise limit the rights or remedies available to any of the parties with regard to a claim of fraud. The parties shall be entitled as a result of misrepresentation, breach or default under this Agreement, to pursue any and all non-monetary relief to which any of them may otherwise be entitled at law, in equity or otherwise.

3.1.8. The amount of damages payable by an Indemnifying Party under this Section shall be (a) reduced by any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim for which indemnification is sought, (b) reduced by any amounts recovered from any third parties, by way of indemnification or otherwise, with respect to the claim for which indemnification is sought and (c) any tax benefits actually received by the Indemnified Party or for which the Indemnified Party is eligible on account of the matter resulting in such damages or the payment of such damages. Each Indemnified Party shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable and commercially feasible, make application for such insurance procedures referred to in clause (a) above. Except with regard to compensation for claims paid to third parties, damages payable by an Indemnifying Party under this Section shall not include punitive damages or any special or indirect damages or any damages that are consequential in nature such as lost profits, diminution in value, damage to reputation and the like. Except as set forth in this Agreement, none of the Seller, the Parent or the Buyer are making any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement with respect to the matters contained herein. Provided that the Buyer has complied with all of the provisions of the this Section 3, Buyer shall have the right to off-set or set-off any payment due pursuant to this Agreement against any other payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (including against indemnification payments). Except for breaches of Sections 1.2 or 1.7 by Buyer or the Parent, as the case may be, indemnification under this Section shall be the exclusive means of recovery by either the Buyer, the Parent, or the Seller and, as applicable, its officers, directors and shareholders against the other party for any breach or violation, or alleged breach or violation, of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements under this Agreement and shall be in lieu of any other common law or statutory rights or remedies.

5. Confidentiality.

5.1. Confidential Information. Each party may disclose or may have disclosed (the “Disclosing Party”) to another party (the “Receiving Party”) certain information that the Disclosing Party considers to be confidential and/or proprietary, including, but not limited to, personally identifiable information and data entered, the terms and conditions of this Agreement (except as permitted in Section 10 below) technical processes and formulas, product designs, customer lists, product and business plans, revenues, projections, marketing and other data, sales, cost, accounting and other technical, business and financial information, as well as information that the Disclosing Party marks as confidential (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information (i) already known by the Receiving Party without an obligation of confidentiality, (ii) publicly known or which becomes publicly known through no omission or unauthorized act of the Receiving Party, (iii) rightfully received from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality, or (iv) independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

5.2. Use of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall make use of the Confidential Information only for the purposes of this Agreement and shall protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but not less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized access, use, dissemination, or publication of the Confidential Information as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a like nature. The Receiving Party shall disclose Confidential Information only (i) to those of its employees, contractors, representatives and consultants with a need to know such Confidential Information who have first agreed with the Receiving Party, either as a condition of employment or engagement, or in order to obtain the Confidential Information, to be bound by terms and conditions substantially similar to those contained in this Section 5, (ii) as required by court order, law or regulation or as requested by any regulatory agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Receiving Party, provided that prior to such disclosure the Receiving Party shall provide prompt written notice to the Disclosing Party sufficient to permit the Disclosing Party the opportunity to oppose the disclosure and the Receiving Party shall take all reasonable steps available to maintain the Confidential Information in confidence, or (iii) to make appropriate disclosure regarding the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.3. Ownership of Confidential Ownership. All Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party and such Confidential Information and all copies thereof (if any), shall be promptly returned to the Disclosing Party upon request or upon termination of this Agreement or, at the Disclosing Party’s sole option, destroyed, in which case the Disclosing Party shall be notified promptly in writing when its Confidential Information has been destroyed. The furnishing of any Confidential Information between the parties shall not constitute the granting of any right or license to use such Confidential Information. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, following the Closing, all Confidential Information provided by the Seller to the Buyer or Parent relating to the Acquired Assets shall be deemed part of the Acquired Assets and become the property of the Buyer and the Seller, subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, shall treat such Confidential Information, during the Confidential Information Effective Period as Confidential Information provided by the Buyer. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 5 to the contrary, the Buyer and the Parent shall be permitted after the Closing to use and disclose any Confidential Information received from the Seller and included in the Acquired Assets to the extent the Buyer in its sole discretion determines that it is necessary or appropriate to use or disclose that Confidential Information in order to carry out any of the Buyer’s commercial activities through the use of any of the Acquired Assets.

5.4. Confidential Information Effective Period. The obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 5 shall remain in effect for the duration of the Initial Development Period (as defined below) (the “Confidential Information Effective Period”).

6. Buyer’s Commitment to the Continued Development of the Cell Deposition Device.

 

6.1 Initial Development Period; Annual Minimum Development Amount. Subject to the further provisions of this Section 6, following the Closing, and continuing until and terminating upon, the fifth (5th) anniversary of this Agreement (the “Initial Development Period”), the Buyer agrees to budget and expend an aggregate cumulative amount of at least [****] in connection with the continued development of the Cell Deposition Device (the “Minimum Development Amount”) including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the development of a prototype which is electronic, non-software driven, and makes use of disposables, and is ideally suited for hospital operating rooms; (ii) the development of a prototype which is non-electric, fully disposable, made substantially of plastics, and where the compressed air source is external to the device, and is ideally suited for ambulant or private surgical or cosmetic practices; (iii) undertaking necessary FDA affairs work, including various device manufacturing certification requirements and/or audited production management systems; (iv) the preparation for and, if available, undertaking of clinical trials for use of the Cell Deposition Device in patients with second degree burns and (v) the engagement of an appropriate management and technology development team (collectively, the “General Development and Commercialization Goals”). Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude the Buyer, in its sole discretion, from time to time modifying the General Development and Commercialization Goals.

 

 

6.2 Cessation of Development. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during the Initial Development Period, the Buyer, in its sole discretion may elect to discontinue the development and commercialization of the Cell Deposition Device (the “Cessation of Development Determination”) if in the opinion of the Buyer continued development of the Cell Deposition Device is no longer warranted as a result of (i) the technically inadequate or poor performance of the Cell Deposition Device and underlying technology, whether as a consequence of design, engineering, manufacturing, or clinical practice; (ii) unforeseen negative clinical implications, or poor or adverse clinical patient outcomes; (iii) changes to laws regarding the harvesting, processing, manipulation, and/or use of stem cells in the Cell Deposition Device or underlying technology, which have an adverse effect on further development or commercialization, of the Cell Deposition Device; (iv) protracted FDA approval engagement as a consequence of unforeseen hurdles or technical complications; (v) the inability of key commercial partners to fulfill technical requirements; (v) the inability to secure reimbursement or other such reasonable means of payment from customers; (vi) the introduction of a competitive technology or technologies that would reduce the potential market for the Cell Deposition Device; (vii) failure of the Seller to comply with Section 12.9; or (viii) the inability of the Buyer to secure funding on commercially reasonable terms for the General Development and Commercialization Goals (collectively, the “Development Cessation Factors”). Upon a Cessation of Development Determination in accordance herewith, the Buyer has no further obligation with respect to the expenditure of the Minimum Development Amount.

 

6.3 Liquidated Damages. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Buyer and the Seller hereby expressly agree that if the Buyer elects not to expend the Minimum Development Amount pursuant to Section 6.1, or if the Buyer elects to terminate the further development of the Cell Deposition Device for any reason other than the Development Cessation Factors (collectively, the “General Development Termination”) Buyer will give written notice thereof to the Seller and the Seller’s sole remedy in lieu of but not in addition to any other remedies that otherwise may be or may have been available to the Seller hereunder, at law or in equity, shall be in the sole discretion and option of the Buyer, either:

 

(a) Re-conveyance by the Buyer of the Acquired Assets to the Seller. If the Buyer chooses Re-conveyance of the Acquired Assets, the consummation of the Re-conveyance shall occur on a date which shall be no later than 60 nor less than 20 days following written notice of the General Development Termination, in accordance with Section 7, below; or

 

(b) A cash payment equal to ten percent (10%) of the Minimum Development Amount less any of the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price already paid to the Seller (the “Cash Damages”). If Buyer chooses to pay the Cash Damages, in lieu of Re-conveyance in accordance with Section 6.3(a) hereof, Buyer shall pay the Seller the Cash Damages no later than 20 days following written notice of the General Development Termination (the “Cash Damages Closing Date”).

 

(c) To the extent that the Cash Damages are equal $0 or less, then the Buyer shall have no obligation to pay any additional amounts to the Seller hereunder or to effect a Re-conveyance of the Acquired Assets to the Seller.

 

(d) In the event of a Re-conveyance or payment of the Cash Damages pursuant to Section 6.3, effective as of the Re-conveyance Closing Date or Cash Damages Closing Date, as the case may warrant (i) the Buyer will have no further obligation with respect to the payment of any unpaid portion of the Deferred Cash Purchase Price and (ii) the no further Warrant Shares shall vest pursuant to the Warrant and only the Warrant Shares that have vested as of the date immediately preceding the date of the Re-Conveyance Closing Date or Cash Damages Closing Date, as the case may warrant, may be acquired in accordance with the terms of the Warrant.

 

(e) [****].

 

(f) In the event of a Re-conveyance pursuant to this Section 6.3, or Section 7.1 below, Seller shall not be responsible for any fees associated with the Re-conveyance, other than for fees payable to Seller’s counsel or filing fees to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or such other government entity, necessary to evidence the transfer of the Acquired Assets to the Seller.

 

 

7. Re-conveyance of Acquired Assets.

 

7.1 Failure to Pay Deferred Cash Purchase Price. If the Buyer fails to pay to the Seller the Deferred Cash Purchase Price when and as due, then in lieu of but not in addition to any other remedies or rights that otherwise may be or may have been available hereunder to the Seller at law or in equity, the Seller shall have the right to require the Buyer to re-convey the Acquired Assets (such Re-conveyance shall not include any enhancements, modifications or any Intellectual Property produced by the Buyer relating to the Cell Deposition Device not specifically acquired by the Buyer from the Seller pursuant to this Agreement) to the Seller without the refund or return by the Seller of any portion of the Purchase Price (any such re-conveyance is herein referred to as a “Re-conveyance”). Upon exercise of the foregoing right by the Seller, the Buyer shall execute and deliver to the Seller such instruments of conveyance and assignment and other documents and shall take all other actions as the Seller and his counsel may deem reasonably necessary to vest in Seller the right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets. The Buyer and the Seller agree that the Seller would be damaged irreparably in the event that the provisions of this Section are not performed by the Buyer in accordance with its specific terms. Accordingly, the Buyer and the Seller agree that, without posting bond or other undertaking, the Seller will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of the provisions of this Section and to enforce specifically the terms of this Section in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state hereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. The Buyer further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or violation, it will not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may withhold from the Deferred Cash Purchase Price payable to the Seller any amounts due or payable to Buyer under Section 3 and 8. The consummation of a Re-conveyance shall occur on a date which shall be no later than 60 nor less than 20 days following (the “Re-conveyance Closing Date”) written notice of default and request for a Re-conveyance by the Seller to the Buyer stating that the Buyer has defaulted with respect to the payment of a required installment payment of the Deferred Cash Purchase Price on the corresponding Deferred Payment Date and which default has not been cured as of the date of such written notice. Such notice shall also specify, in accordance with the foregoing, the Re-conveyance Closing Date.

 

7.2 In the event of a Re-conveyance, effective as of the Re-Conveyance Closing Date (i) the Buyer will have no further obligation with respect to the payment of any unpaid portion of the Deferred Cash Purchase Price and (ii) no further Warrant Shares shall vest pursuant to the Warrant and only the Warrant Shares that have vested as of the date immediately preceding the date of the Re-Conveyance Closing Date may be acquired in accordance with the terms of the Warrant.

 

8. Registration Rights.

 

8.1 The Parent shall prepare and file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC”), covering the exercise of the Warrant and the resale of the Warrant Shares (the “Registered Securities”), by no later than six months following the Closing Date. The Parent shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible after the initial filing. The Parent will maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement from the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) 24 months after that date or (ii) the date on which all the Warrant Shares may be resold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 as promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; provided, however, that, if at any time or from time to time after the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Parent notifies the Seller in writing of the existence of a Potential Material Event (as defined below), the Seller shall not offer or sell any of the Registered Securities, or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to the Registered Securities, from the time of the giving of notice with respect to a Potential Material Event until the Parent notifies the Seller that such Potential Material Event either has been disclosed to the public or no longer constitutes a Potential Material Event; provided, further, that, the Parent may not suspend the right of the Seller pursuant to this Section 8 for more than 45 days in the aggregate. As used herein, “Potential Material Event” means the possession by the Parent of material information regarding a potential transaction not ripe for disclosure in a registration statement, which shall be evidenced by determinations in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Parent that disclosure of such information in the Registration Statement would be detrimental to the business and affairs of the Parent.

 

8.2 The Parent shall notify the Seller, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. At the request of the Seller, the Parent shall also prepare, file and furnish to the Seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. The Seller agrees not to offer or sell any Registered Securities after receipt of such notification until the receipt of such supplement or amendment.

 

 

8.3 The Parent may request the Seller to furnish the Parent such information with respect to the Seller and the Seller’s proposed distribution of the Registered Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement as the Parent may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required by law or by the SEC in connection therewith and the Seller agrees to furnish the Parent with such information.

 

8.4 For purposes of this Section 8, each of the Parent and the Seller shall indemnify the other party hereto and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or investigation whether commenced or threatened) (collectively, a “Loss”) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) by the indemnifying party of a material fact contained in any prospectus or other document (including any related Registration Statement, notification or the like) incident to any registration of the type described in this Section 8, or any omission (or alleged omission) by the indemnifying party to state in any such document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse such indemnified party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that no party will be eligible for indemnification hereunder to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished by such party for use in connection with such registration and provided, further, that a Seller shall not be liable for any Loss that in the aggregate exceeds the amount such Seller would receive if Seller were to sell the Registered Securities on the date the amount of the Loss was determined (based on the closing price of a share of Parent’s common stock on its principal market or inter-dealer quotation system on such date).

 

8.5 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the registration of any or all of the Warrant Shares by the Parent in the Registration Statement is prohibited as a result of the SEC’s interpretation of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Seller agrees to reduce the number of Warrant Shares included in the Registration Statement to a number which will be in compliance with then applicable SEC guidance.

 

8.6 All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions and the fees and expenses of a Seller’s counsel) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Section 8, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printing and engraving fees, accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Parent, shall be borne by the Parent.

 

8.7 With a view to making available to the Seller the benefits of Rule 144, the Parent agrees to use its best efforts to:

 

(a) comply with the provisions of paragraph (c)(1) of Rule 144;

 

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Parent pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the 1934 Act; and

 

(c) if at any time it is not required to file such reports but in the past had been required to or did file such reports, it will, upon the request of Seller, make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of, its Registered Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

 

9. Non-Competition. Seller hereby acknowledges that Buyer has expended significant time and funds relating to the acquisition of the Acquired Assets from Seller. Seller hereby agrees that so long as Buyer has not forwarded Seller a Cessation of Development Determination pursuant to Section 6.2, or a General Development Termination pursuant to Section 6.3, but in no event after the five year anniversary of the Closing Date, so long as Buyer is not in default of its obligations under this Agreement, Seller shall not engage in the development of any Intellectual Property that would directly or indirectly infringe on, or reduce the value of, the Acquired Assets (collectively, the “Infringing Intellectual Property”). In the event that Seller develops any Infringing Intellectual Property, whether on his own behalf or on behalf of a third party, Seller hereby warrants and agrees that all Infringing Intellectual Property shall be deemed to be a “work for hire,” as such term is defined under United States law. To the extent any such materials do not qualify as “work for hire” under applicable law, and to the extent they include materials subject to copyright, patent, trade secret, or other proprietary rights protection, Seller hereby assigns to Buyer all rights, title, and interest in and to all such materials. To the extent Seller has any rights in the same, Seller hereby waives all enforcement of such rights. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 9 are severable. If any provision is deemed to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall not as a result be invalidated.

 

 

10. Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received when delivered (by hand, by registered mail, by courier or express delivery service or by fax) to the address or fax number set forth beneath the name of such party below (or to such other address or fax number as such party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto):

Unless otherwise stated, all representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities contained in this Agreement shall survive for a period of six (6) months following the date of the Closing. In no event shall the liability of the Seller for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants hereunder exceed an aggregate amount equal to the cash portion of the Purchase Price actually received by the Seller. Any claim for any breach or violation of any representation, warranty or covenant herein or otherwise relating hereto (other than any claim under Section 5 or any claim regarding the payment of the Deferred Cash Purchase Price) must be made, if at all, on or prior to the date which is six (6) months after the Closing Date or it shall be thereafter barred.

 

12. Miscellaneous.

 

12.1 Disclaimer of Warranties. The Parties agree that the Acquired Assets are purchased on an “AS IS” basis and except as specifically set forth herein, all warranties of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Acquired Assets, including the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose, are expressly disclaimed. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Parties hereby expressly disclaim any warranties, either express or implied, concerning the ability of the Parties to commercialize the Cell Deposition Device, or the ability of the Cell Deposition Device to perform the functions for which it has been developed, and no claim for indemnification under Section 3 hereof shall arise on the part of either Party hereto as a result of the failure to commercialize the Cell Deposition Device.

 

12.2 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement was executed in, and the transactions contemplated by and the provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof and all parties consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York.

 

 

12.3 Business Day. For purposes of this Agreement “Business Day” means any day except any Saturday, any Sunday, any day which is a federal legal holiday in the United States or any day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close.

 

12.4 Expenses. Each party to this Agreement shall be responsible for its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and Buyer shall be responsible for (a) all filing and recordation fees relating to the transfer of the Acquired Assets hereunder and (b) all fees, costs and expenses relating to the shipment, transfer or delivery of all tangible assets included in the Acquired Assets from their respective locations on the Closing Date to such location or locations as Buyer may determine.

 

12.5 Publicity; SEC Filings. Each Party may issue a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement and the proposed transaction. Each Party shall provide a draft of such press release to the other Party no less than 24 hours before the issuance of such press release. If required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, either Party hereto may publicly disclose the existence of this Agreement and the terms hereof in a current report or a periodic report filed with the SEC, provided that the filing party shall provide the other party with a draft copy of the report no less than 24 hours before the anticipated filing date. In the event that a Party intends to issue a press release or files a report with the SEC regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, the filing party shall duly consider the comments of the other party.

 

12.6 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries; Assignment; Etc. This Agreement, including all exhibits and schedules attached hereto, constitutes and contains the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, understandings and agreements between the Parties, whether written or verbal, respecting the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the Parties to this Agreement any rights or remedies. The Buyer may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld), and the Seller may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of the Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the Seller may assign, distribute or otherwise transfer its rights relating to the Deferred Cash Purchase Price without the consent of the Buyer and, provided, further, that any person or entity that acquires the Buyer, or all or substantially all of the Acquired Assets, after the Closing Date must agree in writing to assume the obligation to pay the Deferred Cash Purchase Price as if such person or entity were substituted for the Buyer therein (but no such assignment and assumption shall relieve the Buyer of such obligation without the Seller’s written consent). In addition, the Buyer shall be permitted to assign and transfer the Acquired Assets to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Buyer, provided, however, that such assignee shall agree with the Seller, in writing, to assume the obligations of the Buyer hereunder on a joint and several basis and the Buyer shall not thereby be relieved of its obligations hereunder.

 

12.7 No Liability of Officers and Directors. The Parties acknowledge that the individuals executing this Agreement on behalf of the Parent and the Buyer do so on behalf of such entities and not in their individual capacities. As such no officer, director, employee or agent of the Parties shall have any liability hereunder.

 

12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and shall be effective when each Party has executed at least one of the counterparts even though all Parties have not executed the same counterpart. The Parties may execute this Agreement and all other agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents contemplated by this Agreement and exchange on the Closing Date counterparts of such documents by means of facsimile transmission or email and the Parties agree that the receipt of such executed counterparts shall be binding on such Parties and shall be construed as originals. After the Closing the Parties shall promptly exchange original versions of this Agreement and all other agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents contemplated by this Agreement that were executed and exchanged by facsimile transmission or email pursuant to this Section.

Buyer shall not incur any liability in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to any other person with whom Seller, or its agents or representatives, have had negotiations or discussions regarding any potential merger, sale or exchange of capital stock or other business combination involving the Seller or any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner a substantial equity interest in the Seller or all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Seller.

 

12.10 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section of or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The Parties agree that they have participated jointly in the drafting of this Agreement, and therefore, waive the application of any law, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

 

12.11 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability or the other provisions hereof. If any term, covenant, restriction or provision contained in Agreement, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, against its regulatory policy or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement shall remain valid and binding and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible so that the transactions contemplated hereby can be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

12.12 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

 

12.13 Successor and Assigns. The Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators and permitted assigns.

 

12.14 Enforcement Costs. The Parties agree that Buyer will cover any future patent application and execution fees, patent lawyer expenses and enforcement expenses.

 

12.15 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

 

12.16 Further Actions.

 

(a) From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto, each other Party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, such further or other actions as the requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, to transfer, assign and deliver the Acquired Assets to the Buyer effective as of the Closing Date (or to evidence the foregoing) and to consummate and give effect to the other transactions, covenants and agreements contemplated hereby. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall be entitled to possession of all documents, books, records, agreements and financial data of any sort relating to the Acquired Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate fully with each other after the Closing Date so that each party has access to the business records, contracts and other information existing as of the Closing Date and relating in any manner to the Acquired Assets in Seller’s possession or which can be obtained by Seller without undue expense or burden. No files, books or records existing as of the Closing Date and relating in any manner to the Acquired Assets shall be destroyed by any party for a period of 3 years after the Closing Date without giving the other party at least 30 days’ prior written notice, during which time such other party shall have the right to examine and to remove any such files, books and records prior to their destruction. The access to files, books and records contemplated herein shall be during normal business hours and upon not less than 2 days’ prior written request, shall be subject to such reasonable limitations as the party having custody or control thereof may impose to preserve the confidentiality of information contained therein and shall not extend to material subject to a claim of privilege unless expressly waived by the party entitled to claim the same. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event Buyer elects to pay Seller the Cash Damages pursuant to Section 6.3(b), Seller shall have no rights under this Section 12.16.
