(“PMI”) hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Leverage Developments, LLC (“LD”) and LD’s Affiliates, managers, members, officers, agents, and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all liabilities, demands, debts, losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), claims, damages, or obligations which the Indemnified Parties have, had, or may have under the “Mack Loan Agreements” (as defined in that certain Asset Purchase and Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement by and between PMI and LD dated October 24, 2014 (the “APA”), such agreements being (i) the Promissory Note in the amount of $600,000, (ii) the Loan and Security Agreement, and (iii) the Membership Agreement, each between LD and Mack Holding Company (“Mack”) dated December 1, 2012). Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them by the APA.

 

This agreement is made and entered into pursuant to Section 3.4.1(c) of the APA and is in consideration of the matters set forth in the APA including without limitation the delivery by LD to PMI of the LD Note to PMI.

 

LD shall give prompt written notice to PMI of receipt of any written notice or demand by any of the Indemnified Parties made by Mack under the Mack Loan Agreement in accordance with the terms of the notice provisions of Section 18 of the APA. Failure to give prompt notice shall not relieve PMI of its obligations hereunder, unless the failure to so notify actually results in damage or material prejudice to PMI.

 

LD shall reasonably cooperate with and assist PMI in respect of any demand or claim by Mack under the Mack Loan Agreements; provided, however, that such cooperation and assistance shall not be deemed to require any payment by LD on account of the Mack Loan Agreements or other payment by LD. Without limiting the foregoing, upon receipt of any such notice or demand from Mack, PMI in its sole discretion may determine to exclusively deal with Mack in respect thereto, and in such event, LD, following written notice as to same from PMI, shall not negotiate, confer or communicate with Mack in respect of same except as directed by PMI.

4.6.4           Status. The Parties shall keep one another informed of the status of and of their respective activities regarding any litigation or settlement thereof concerning the Product.

At the reasonable request of PMI, LD shall cooperate with PMI and render PMI its commercially reasonable assistance in the defense of the Trademark, subject to reimbursement of the related out of pocket expenses of LD. Any damages and costs recovered shall be for PMl's sole benefit. In case PMI decides not to defend the Trademark within thirty (30) days of LD's written request to do so, LD shall be entitled to do so at its own expense in cooperation and with the commercially reasonable assistance of PMI and, in such case, any damages and costs recovered shall be for LD's sole benefit, subject to reimbursement of the out of pocket expenses of PMI related to PMl's assistance.

5.3           Offset Relating to the Mack Loan. PMI may withhold twenty five percent (25%) of amounts due to LD under Section 5.1 and apply such amount to the LD Note to PMI. Amounts withheld shall be applied first to interest due under the LO Note to PMI, and thereafter to principal.

In order to promote acceleration of Product development, or for any other purpose to advance development, commercialization or marketing aspects under this Agreement, PMI, at its sole discretion, may provide additional cash payments beyond the amounts payable by PMI to LD pursuant to the timed development costs pursuant to Section 3.6. Any such advance payments shall be credited to PMI against any other payments due LD pursuant to Sections 3.6, 5.1, or pursuant to the Research and Development Agreement.

5.8           Method of Payment. All payments required to be made by PMI hereunder shall be made by electronic transfer of immediately available funds in United States Dollars through a bank designated by LD. In determining the proper rate of exchange to be applied to the payments due hereunder, it is agreed that PMI shall calculate Success Fees on a quarterly basis in local currency (with each such month considered to be a separate accounting period for the purpose of computing the Success Fees) and that PMI shall compute a conversion of each such monthly total into United States currency utilizing the selling rate of exchange in effect on the last day of each relevant calendar quarter as listed in the Wall Street Journal.

Such non-performance will be excused for as long as such event shall be continuing (whichever period is shorter), provided that the non-performing Party gives immediate written notice to the other Party of the Force Majeure Event. Such non-performing Party shall exercise all reasonable efforts to eliminate the Force Majeure Event and to resume performance of its affected obligations as soon as practicable.
