WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Xandros owns 100 shares of the common stock of Scalix (the “Scalix Shares”);
WHEREAS, Xandros desires to sell, assign, and transfer to Sebring 49 of the Scalix Shares (the “Shares”), and Sebring desires to purchase the Shares from Xandros, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, certain definitions are set forth in Section 8.12.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements, representations, warranties, conditions, and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Sale and Purchase of Shares.
1.1 Sale and Purchase. Xandros hereby agrees to sell, assign, and deliver the Shares to Sebring, and Sebring hereby agrees to purchase the Shares from Xandros, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,750,000 (the “Purchase Price”).
1.2 Consideration; Certificates. The Purchase Price shall be payable as provided in Exhibit 1. Sebring shall pay the Purchase Price by delivering to Xandros a certified or cashier's check (or other form of payment acceptable to Xandros, in its sole discretion). Upon receipt of payment, Xandros will deliver to Sebring a stock certificate representing the Shares (or a pro rata portion of the Shares if such payment is for less than the full Purchase Price), which certificate shall be in definitive form and registered in the name of Sebring.
2. Representations and Warranties by Xandros and Scalix. Xandros and Scalix represent and warrant to Sebring as follows:
2.1 Organization and Qualification. Xandros is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and, except as set forth in Schedule 2.1, in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the full corporate power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties as it now does and to carry on its business as it presently is being conducted. Scalix is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the full corporate power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties as it now does and to carry on its business as it presently is being conducted.
2.2 Authorization. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Xandros and Scalix, enforceable against Xandros and Scalix in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Xandros and Scalix have the power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.
2.3 No Conflicts. Except as provided in Schedule 2.3, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by Xandros and Scalix will not (a) conflict with, or result in the breach or termination of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, any material lease, agreement, commitment, or other instrument, or any order, judgment, or decree to which Xandros or Scalix is a party or by which Xandros or Scalix is bound, or (b) conflict with or violate Xandros’ or Scalix’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or constitute or result in a violation by Xandros or Scalix of any law, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, or decree applicable to Xandros or Scalix, respectively.
2.4 Capitalization. Scalix’s total authorized capital stock consists of 100 shares of common stock, 100 of which are outstanding and owned by Xandros. There are no outstanding options, warrants, subscriptions, or rights of any kind to acquire any shares or interests of any class of capital stock of Scalix, there are no outstanding securities convertible into any shares or interests of any class of capital stock of Scalix, and there are no obligations to issue any such options, warrants, subscriptions, rights, or securities. None of the Shares were issued in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any other laws or regulations.
2.5 The Shares.
(a) Xandros is not a party to any agreement, written or oral, creating rights in respect of any of the Shares in any third Person or relating to the voting of the Shares.
(b) Xandros is the lawful owner of the Shares, and the Shares are free and clear of all security interests, liens, mortgages, claims, pledges, encumbrances, equities and other charges (collectively, “Liens”).
(c) There are no existing warrants, options, stock purchase agreements, or restrictions of any nature (other than restrictions on transferability under federal securities laws) relating to the Shares.
(d) The Shares represent 49% of Xandros’ entire ownership interest in Scalix.

2.6 Title to Properties; Encumbrances. Scalix does not own any real property. Scalix owns all material properties and assets (whether fixtures, personal, or mixed and whether tangible or intangible) that it purports to own, including all of the properties and assets reflected in the Balance Sheet, and all of the properties and assets purchased or otherwise acquired by Scalix since the date of the Balance Sheet (except for personal property acquired and sold since the date of the Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice). To our actual knowledge, all material properties and assets reflected in the Balance Sheet are free and clear of all Liens, except for the following (collectively, “Permitted Liens”) (i) Liens for taxes which are not due and payable as of the date hereof or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which suspend the collection thereof; (ii) Liens for mechanics, materialmen, laborers, employees, suppliers, or other Liens arising by operation of law for sums which are not due and payable as of the date hereof or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (iii) pledges, deposits or other Liens securing the performance of bids, trade contracts, leases or statutory obligations (including workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance or other social security legislation); (iv) Liens created in the ordinary course of business in connection with the leasing, licensing, or financing of equipment, supplies or other assets; and (vi) as to any premises leased by Scalix, the ownership and reversion rights of the premises owner, and zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property subject thereto.
2.7 Financial Statements. Xandros has delivered to Sebring: (a) a management report of unaudited and preliminary balance sheet of Scalix as at March 31, 2011 (the “Balance Sheet”), and the related management report of the unaudited and preliminary statement of income for the quarter ending March 31, 2011; and (b) audited balance sheets of Scalix as at December 31 in each of the fiscal years 2009 through 2010, and the related audited statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the fiscal years then ended, (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). Such Financial Statements fairly and accurately present, in all material respects, the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Scalix as at the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such Financial Statements.
2.8 Listings and Other Data. All accounts receivable reflected on the Balance Sheet, net of reserves, represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed by Scalix in the ordinary course of business. Scalix does not have any actual knowledge of any specific facts or circumstances (other than general economic conditions) which would result in any material increase in the uncollectability of such receivables as a class in excess of the reserves therefor as set forth on the Balance Sheet or accounting records. Except as may be indicated in Scalix’s accounting books and records, to Scalix’s actual knowledge, no current customer or vendor intends to modify or terminate any of its outstanding orders or contracts and Scalix has received no notice to such effect.
2.9 Undisclosed Liabilities. Scalix has no material liabilities except for liabilities reflected or reserved against in the Balance Sheet, current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business of Scalix since the date of the Balance Sheet, and obligations under the express terms of any Material Contracts (or under contracts that are not Material Contracts).
3
2.10 Taxes and Tax Returns. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.10 or as indicated in the Financial Statements, Scalix has filed all tax returns that it is required to have filed, and such returns are true and correct in all material respects. Scalix has paid or made provision (i.e., accrued) all taxes that have accrued or become due for all periods covered by such tax returns, or pursuant to any assessment received by Scalix, except such taxes, if any that are disclosed to Sebring and are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States) (“GAAP”) have been provided in the Balance Sheet.
2.11 Litigation, Compliance With Laws; Licenses and Permits. Except for payment related litigation in the normal course of business that is not material, and except as set forth in Schedule 2.11, there is no proceeding pending or, to our knowledge, threatened against Scalix or the Shares or the propriety of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, at law or in equity, or before or by any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, and Scalix is not being operated under or subject to any order, final non-appealable judgment, decree, license or injunction of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority.
2.12 Absence of Adverse Changes. Since the date of the Balance Sheet, there has been no material adverse change to the long term condition of Scalix or its assets, except for any change resulting from any Excluded Matter. An “Excluded Matter” means any of the following, either alone or in combination: (a) circumstances, changes, events or developments generally affecting the industry or market in which Scalix operates (but solely to the extent that any such circumstances, changes, events, or developments do not have a disproportionate effect on Scalix as compared to its competitors); (b) changes in general economic or political conditions or changes in currency exchange rates or currency fluctuations; (c) any natural disaster or any acts of terrorism, sabotage, military action or war (whether or not declared) or any escalation or worsening thereof; (d) the enactment, repeal or change in any law or any change in GAAP; (e) an action consented to in writing by Sebring; (f) any action required to be taken under any law, this Agreement, or any Material Contract, (g) this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the announcement hereof or thereof, (h) the announcement by Sebring or any of its Affiliates of its plans or intentions (including in respect of employees) with respect to the business of Scalix, or (i) the resignation, death or termination of any employee of Scalix.
2.13 Contracts. Xandros has disclosed in writing or made available to Sebring true and complete copies of all of Scalix’s written contracts and agreements (and written summaries of any oral agreements) to which Scalix is a party, including, without limitation, all current customer contracts relating to Scalix’s business, but excluding agreements which (a) are cancellable by Scalix on 30 days notice or less without penalty, or (b) do not involve aggregate payments of $25,000 or more (collectively, “Material Contracts”). All of the Material Contracts are in full force and effect and are valid and enforceable according to their terms, and neither Scalix nor, to Scalix’s actual knowledge, any other party to any such Material Contract (aa) is in breach of or default under the terms thereof in any material respect, or (bb) has indicated its intention to terminate or not renew any Material Contract. Scalix has not entered into any agreement or understanding, whether written or oral, that waives any of its respective rights under any Material Contracts.
4
2.14 Employees. No officer or key employee of Scalix has advised Scalix (in writing) that he intends to terminate employment with Scalix. No person has an employment or consulting agreement or understanding, whether oral or written, with Scalix, which is not terminable on notice by Scalix without cost or other liability to Scalix (other than for amounts earned or reimbursable prior to such termination).
2.15 Solvency. Scalix has not been the subject of any bankruptcy proceedings (whether voluntary or involuntary), made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, been adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, petitioned for or been assigned any receiver or trustee relating to Scalix or any of its assets, commenced any reorganization or restructuring of debt, or otherwise failed to fulfill its payment obligations in the ordinary course. None of the above has been commenced or, to Xandros’ actual knowledge, threatened against Scalix.
2.16 Certain Interests. Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, Scalix does not have any liability or any material obligation of any nature whatsoever to any officer, director or shareholder of Scalix, or to any relative or spouse (or relative of such spouse) who resides with, or is a dependent of, any such officer, director or shareholder. Sebring will only be responsible for forward oriented expenses of Scalix and not its payables prior to the date of this agreement, which however will continue to remain the responsibility of Scalix itself.
2.17 Intellectual Property. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.17, Scalix owns, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), or has an enforceable right or license to use, all of the Intellectual Property Assets. The use of the Intellectual Property Assets by Scalix in connection with Scalix’s business does not, to Scalix’s actual knowledge, infringe on the rights of any person, and no person has asserted any such claim against Scalix. “Intellectual Property Assets” means all material intellectual property owned or licensed by Scalix (other than Commercial Software) in which Scalix has a proprietary interest, including (i) all trade names, trade marks, service marks and applications, (ii) all patents, patent applications and inventions and discoveries that may be patentable, (iii) all registered copyrights, (iv) all know-how, trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information, customer lists, software, technical information, data, process technology, plans and drawings, and (v) Internet web sites and internet domain names.

3.5 Investment Knowledge. Sebring has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the risks and merits of Sebring’s investment in Scalix.
3.6 Investor’s Independent Investigation. Sebring, in purchasing Shares hereunder, has relied solely upon an independent investigation made by it and its representatives, if any. Prior to the date hereof, Sebring has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of Scalix.

In making its investment decision to purchase the Shares, Sebring is not relying on any oral or written representations or assurances from Xandros or any other Person other than as set forth in this Agreement. Sebring is knowledgeable about the affairs of Scalix and understands that the business of Scalix will need significant commitment by Sebring to rebuilding, especially after any deterioration suffered in the last six months due to delays in closing any funding.
3.7 Investment Intent. The Shares are being acquired for Sebring’s own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof or interest therein.
3.8 Registration. Sebring understands that (a) the offer and sale of the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, (b) the Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempt from such registration, (c) the certificates evidencing the Shares shall bear a legend to such effect.
6
3.9 Investor’s Economic Risk. Sebring understands and acknowledges that an investment in Scalix involves numerous and substantial risks. Sebring is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in Scalix, including a possible total loss of investment. Sebring has adequate means of providing for Sebring’s current needs and contingencies, and Sebring is able to afford to hold the Shares for an indefinite period. Further, Sebring has no present need for liquidity in the Shares, and Sebring is willing to accept such investment risks.
3.10 No Government Recommendation or Approval. Sebring understands that no United States federal or state agency, or similar agency of any other country, has reviewed, approved, passed upon, or made any recommendation or endorsement of Scalix or the purchase of the Shares.
4. Call Option. For the 30-day period commencing on March 31, 2012 (the “Call Exercise Period”), provided the Purchase Price has been paid in full, Sebring shall have the right (the “Call Option”) to purchase from Xandros all, but not less than all, of the balance of the Scalix Shares then owned by Xandros (the “Remaining Shares”) for an additional purchase price of $6,250,000 (the “Exercise Price”). The Exercise Price shall be payable in shares of Sebring common stock (the “Sebring Stock”), valuing each share of Sebring Stock at $1.00 (or, if Sebring raised money at a lower price than $1.00 prior to payment of the Exercise Price, at that lowest price that Sebring raised money), and as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, and the like (the “Stock Price”). In order to exercise the Call Option, Sebring must give Xandros written notice of exercise (the “Call Exercise Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Call Exercise Period. If the Call Option has been exercised in accordance with the foregoing, then on the third business day after Xandros’ receipt of the Call Exercise Notice (or such other date as the parties may agree) (the “Call Closing Date”), Xandros shall cause to be delivered to Sebring a stock certificate evidencing the Remaining Shares, together with a stock power duly executed in blank, against Sebring’s delivery to Xandros of the shares of Sebring Stock comprising the Exercise Price (such shares to be evidenced by a stock certificate, in definitive form, registered in the name of Xandros or its designee (together, the “Registered Holder”)). The Call Option shall terminate forthwith upon the exercise of the Put Option (as defined below).
5. Put Option. For the period commencing upon payment of the Purchase Price in full, or earlier at Xandros sole and exclusive option, and ending on April 1, 2012 (the “Put Exercise Period”), Xandros shall have the right (the “Put Option”) to require Sebring to purchase from Xandros all, but not less than all, of the Remaining Shares for the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be payable in Sebring Stock, valuing each share of Sebring Stock at the Stock Price. In order to exercise the Put Option, Xandros must give Sebring written notice of exercise (the “Put Exercise Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Put Exercise Period. If the Put Option has been exercised in accordance with the foregoing, then on the third business day after Sebring’s receipt of the Put Exercise Notice (or such other date as the parties may agree) (the “Put Closing Date”), Xandros shall cause to be delivered to Sebring a stock certificate evidencing the Remaining Shares, together with a stock power duly executed in blank, against Sebring’s delivery to Xandros of the shares of Sebring Stock comprising the Exercise Price (such shares to be evidenced by a stock certificate, in definitive form, registered in the name of the Registered Holder).

6. Registration Rights.
6.1 Demand Registration.
(a) In case Sebring shall receive from the Registered Holder a written request that Sebring effect a Registration with respect to the resale by the Registered Holder of its Registrable Securities, Sebring will as soon as practicable, effect such Registration (including, without limitation, but subject to the limitations set forth herein, appropriate qualification under applicable state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution by the Registered Holder of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request. The Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities shall be filed for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement required hereunder shall be on Form S-1 (or such other form as may be appropriate).
(b) Sebring shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement filed under this Section 6.1 as may be reasonably necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144. Sebring shall comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Registered Holder as set forth in such Registration Statement.
(c) The right of the Registered Holder to demand that the Registrable Securities be registered for resale may only be exercised once, provided that the Registration Statement filed pursuant to such demand is declared effective.
(d) Sebring shall not be required to effect a demand registration during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to Sebring’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on the date ninety (90) days following the effective date of, a Sebring-initiated Registration Statement that is subject to Section 6.2 below, provided that Sebring is actively employing in good faith its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective.
(e) Sebring may defer taking any action to effect a Registration pursuant to Section 6.1 if Sebring furnishes to the Registered Holder a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of Sebring stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Sebring it would be materially detrimental to Sebring and its stockholders for the requested registration to be effected (or to remain effective for the period for which the subject registration statement would otherwise be required to remain effective) because such action (x) would materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving Sebring, or (y) would require premature disclosure of material information that Sebring has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential. Sebring shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to the requested Registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 only on one occasion and for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the Registration request under Section 6.1.
8
(f) Sebring shall be entitled to include in any Registration Statement referred to in this Section 6.1 shares of Sebring Stock to be sold by Sebring for its own account, except as and to the extent that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter (if such method of disposition shall be an underwritten public offering), such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the Registrable Securities to be sold. To the extent that the managing underwriter in any such underwritten public offering requires the exclusion of any securities from such offering, all such excluded securities shall come solely from the shares to be sold by Sebring prior to the exclusion of any Registrable Securities.
6.2 Piggyback Registration
(a) If, at any time, Sebring proposes to file a Registration Statement (other than under a Registration Statement pursuant to Form S-8 or Form S-4 or successor forms) to register its securities, and all of the Registrable Securities are not then covered by an effective Registration Statement, Sebring shall: (A) give written notice by registered mail, at least 20 days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement to the Registered Holder of its intention to do so, and (B) include all Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement with respect to which Sebring has received written request for inclusion therein within 15 days of after delivery of Sebring’s notice.
(b) Sebring shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this Section 6.2 (irrespective of whether a written request for inclusion of any Registration Securities shall have been made) to elect not to file any such Registration Statement, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the effective date thereof.
(c) If the Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 6.2 relates to a firmly underwritten public offering and the managing underwriter(s) advise Sebring in writing that in their opinion the number of securities proposed to be included in the Registration Statement (including the Registrable Securities) exceeds the number of securities which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability of the public offering, Sebring will include in such Registration Statement the number of securities requested to be included which in the opinion of such underwriter(s) can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, pro rata among the respective holders of all securities proposed to be included in the Registration Statement; provided, however, such number of Registrable Securities shall not be reduced if any shares are to be included in such underwriting for the account of any Person other than the Sebring or Registered Holder; and provided, further, however, in no event may less than one-third of the total number of shares of Sebring Stock to be included in such underwriting be made available for the Registrable Securities. In addition, Sebring shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Registered Holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon by Sebring and the managing underwriters selected by it.
9
6.3 Covenants of Sebring with Respect to Registration. In connection with each Registration under this Section 6, Sebring covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Sebring shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have any Registration Statement declared effective at the earliest practicable time. Sebring will promptly notify the Registered Holder and confirm such advice in writing, (A) when such Registration Statement becomes effective, (B) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective, and (C) of any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information.
(b) Sebring shall furnish to the Registered Holder such number of copies of such Registration Statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including each preliminary prospectus and summary prospectus) in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as it may reasonably request in order to facilitate its disposition of the Registrable Securities.
(c) If at any time the SEC should institute or threaten to institute any proceedings for the purpose of issuing a stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, Sebring will promptly notify the Registered Holder and will use all reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or to obtain the withdrawal thereof as soon as possible.
(d) Sebring will use its good faith reasonable efforts and take all reasonably necessary action which may be required in qualifying or registering the Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as reasonably are required by the Registered Holder, provided that Sebring shall not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such jurisdiction.
(e) Sebring shall deliver promptly to the Registered Holder and to the managing underwriter, if any, copies of all correspondence between the SEC and Sebring, its counsel or auditors and all non-privileged memoranda relating to discussions with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement.
(f) All expenses incident to Sebring’s performance of or compliance with this Section 6, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for Sebring and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by Sebring will be borne by Sebring. In no event shall Sebring be obligated to pay any discounts or commissions with respect to the Registrable Shares sold by the Registered Holder.
10
6.4 Indemnification and Contribution
(a) Sebring shall indemnify the Registered Holder, each of its officers, directors and agents (including brokers and underwriters selling Registrable Securities on behalf of the Registered Holder), and each Person, if any, who controls the Registered Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and/or liabilities (including all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or otherwise, arising from such Registration Statement, including, without limitation, any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities caused by (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or (B) any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to Sebring by the Registered Holder expressly for use therein.
(b) Prior to the filing of any Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, the Registered Holder shall indemnify Sebring, its officers and directors and each Person, if any, who controls Sebring within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and/or liabilities (including all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from written information furnished by the Registered Holder for specific inclusion in such Registration Statement, except that the maximum amount which may be recovered from the Registered Holder pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) or otherwise shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by the Registered Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 6.4, such Person (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent that) that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (A) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (B) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties (including in the case of the Registered Holder, all of its officers, directors and controlling persons) and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties shall designate such firm in writing to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.
