Any amounts due to any Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder shall be payable by Seller to such Purchaser Indemnified Party, subject to Sections 8.1, 8.4 and 8.5.

Sub’s Assets or the Residual License Agreements, or a representation or warranty by Seller with respect to the value of the Royalty Sub’s Assets or the Residual License Agreements.

 

Section 8.3             Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to Section 8.1 and Section 8.4 hereof, Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds each of Seller and its Affiliates and any and all of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party) harmless from and against, and will pay to each Seller Indemnified Party the amount of, any and all Losses (including attorneys’ fees) awarded against or incurred or suffered by such Seller Indemnified Party, whether or not involving a third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by Purchaser in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates or documents delivered by Purchaser in writing pursuant thereto, (ii) any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document, or (iii) any claim by any Person for fees, expenses, costs, liabilities or other amounts incurred or owed by Purchaser to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by any such Person with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (or any Person on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates) in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. Any amounts due to any Seller Indemnified Party hereunder shall be payable by Purchaser to such Seller Indemnified Party, subject to Sections 8.1, 8.4 and 8.5.

 

Section 8.4             Limitations on Indemnification.

 

(a)           Subject to Section 8.4(c) below, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, respectively, with respect to any Losses as to which such party is otherwise entitled to assert any claim for indemnification, pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, unless and until the aggregate amount of the Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 of this Agreement exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate (the “Deductible Amount”); provided, however, that thereafter the indemnifying party shall indemnify the other for any amounts in excess of, and not including, the Deductible Amount. Subject to Section 8.4(c) below, the maximum aggregate cash liability and obligation for any claims or Losses under this Agreement shall be capped at (and not exceed) Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000).

 

(b)           In calculating the amount of Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, as applicable, or for which indemnification is sought hereunder there shall be deducted (i) amounts actually recovered under any insurance policy or agreement with respect to such Losses and (ii) the amount of any reduction in income Taxes attributable to such Losses which directly or indirectly inures to the benefit of those parties for any Tax year as a result of any such Losses.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the limitations on indemnity set forth in Section 8.4(a) shall not apply in the case of Losses resulting from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.10, 3.11, 3.13, 4.l, 4.2 and 4.6 of this Agreement or (ii) fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation in the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement.

 

32



 

(d)           No party hereto shall have any obligation to indemnify any other party for Losses under this Agreement unless the indemnified party delivers written demand for indemnification in accordance with Section 8.5 before the expiration of the applicable Survival Period; provided, that the obligations of the parties hereto to indemnify any other party for Losses under this Agreement shall not terminate at the end of the applicable Survival Period with respect to any claim for indemnifiable Losses as to which the indemnified party shall have delivered such demand to the indemnifying party before the expiration of the applicable Survival Period.

 

Section 8.5             Procedures. If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.3, such indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any; provided, that subject to Section 8.4(c), the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of, or has a material adverse effect on the exercise or prosecution of, substantive rights or defenses by such indemnifying party. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies such indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party will be entitled, at such indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to such indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Article VIII for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (a) the indemnifying party and such indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (b) such indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (c) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnifying party and such indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of counsel to such indemnifying party. It is agreed 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 law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or discharge of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which

 

33



 

any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge, as the case may be, (i) includes an unconditional written release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding, (ii) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (iii) does not impose any continuing material obligation or restrictions on any indemnified party.

 

Section 8.6             Exclusive Remedy. Except as set forth in Section 8.7, or with respect to any claim for fraud or willful misconduct in the negotiation or execution of this Agreement, following the Closing Date, the indemnification afforded by this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses sustained or incurred by either party hereto in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, including with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by a party hereto in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by a party hereto in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by a party hereto pursuant to any Transaction Document, but excluding any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by a party hereto in the New Servicing Agreement, if any, or any agreements, instruments or certificates entered into or otherwise executed and delivered by a party hereto pursuant to Section 7.3, if any.

 

Section 8.7             Specific Performance. In addition to any other right or remedy to which a party hereto may be entitled at law or in equity, such party shall be entitled to enforce any provisions of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond (except to the minimum extent required by Applicable Law) or other undertaking.

Section 9.4             Amendment.

 

(a)           The provisions of this Agreement may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented, restated or waived, if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement or waiver is in writing and consented to by each of the parties hereto.

 

(b)           No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser or the Seller in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Purchaser or the Seller in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Purchaser or the Seller of any term or condition of this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same on any future occasion. No waiver or approval under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

 

(c)           The Transaction Documents, together with the NDA, contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

 

Section 9.5             Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.6             Binding Effect; Assignability; Survival. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and the Seller and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser may assign any of its respective rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except as otherwise herein specifically provided; provided, however, that a Change of Control shall not by itself be deemed an assignment for purposes of this Section 9.6; provided, further, that Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder or its interest herein to an Affiliate without Seller’s prior written consent so long as (i) such Affiliate shall have assumed all of the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement and (ii) Purchaser shall remain bound by all obligations of “Purchaser” under this Agreement. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the parties hereto shall agree.

 

Section 9.7             Cumulative Remedies. Except as expressly provided herein, the rights, obligations and remedies created by this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, obligations or remedies otherwise available at law or in equity. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing herein will be considered an election of remedies. Without limiting the foregoing, each party hereto hereby authorizes the other party hereto at any time and from time

 

36



 

to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to offset any amounts payable by such other party to, or for the account of, such party against any obligations of such party to such other party arising in connection with the Transaction Documents (including amounts payable pursuant to Article VIII) that are then due and payable.

 

Section 9.8             Consent to Jurisdiction.

 

(a)           Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of Delaware or of the United States federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect of this Agreement or any document related hereto. Each party hereto waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be made by any other means permitted by Delaware law.

 

(b)           If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment or order in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder from U.S. Dollars into another currency, each of the Purchaser and the Seller has agreed, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such party could purchase U.S. Dollars with such other currency using currency exchange rates quoted in New York edition of The Wall Street Journal on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
