6.5         Filings, Consents or Notifications.  No consent, authorization, order or approval of, or filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority pursuant to the antitrust or trade regulation Laws of any Governmental Authority, including any filing pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, is required to be obtained by the parties in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the parties of this Agreement or any Transaction Documents or the consummation of the Transactions.  Each Party: (a) shall make all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such party in connection with the Transactions; and (b) shall use reasonable efforts to obtain each approval, consent or other authorization (if any) required to be obtained (pursuant to any applicable Law or contract, or otherwise) by such party in connection with the Transaction.
 
6.6         Termination of Related Party Transactions.  Immediately prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall cause any Contract, agreement, or understanding between the Company, on the one hand, and any Seller, Affiliate of a Seller or member of a Seller’s Family on the other hand, to be terminated such that no Seller, Affiliate of a Seller or member of a Seller’s Family shall have any claims or rights against the Company in respect thereof (except, for the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement or any Transaction Document).
 
6.7         Assignment and Assumption of Excluded Liabilities.  Effective as of the Closing and without limiting Sellers’ indemnification obligations under ARTICLE 8:
 
(a)        The Company hereby irrevocably covenants and agrees to assign, transfer and convey to the Sellers, and the Sellers hereby irrevocably covenant and agree, jointly and severally, to assume from the Company and to pay, perform and discharge when due, all Excluded Liabilities.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall not assume, and shall have no responsibility for, any Retained Liabilities.

Any investigation pursuant to this Section shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the Business and maintains the confidentiality of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No investigation by Buyer or other information received by Buyer shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty, indemnity or agreement given or made by the Company and/or Sellers in this Agreement and shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will require or be construed to require the Company or Sellers or any of their representatives to provide any access or otherwise make available any information that in the reasonable judgment of Sellers’ Representative would (i) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of any third Person, (ii) result in a violation of any applicable Law, (iii) waive the protection of any attorney-client privilege or (iv) result in the disclosure of personally identifiable information that would expose the Company to liability.  If any access or information is withheld on the basis of the foregoing sentence, Sellers’ Representative will inform Buyer of the general nature of what is being withheld and use commercially reasonable efforts to make substitute disclosure arrangements to provide any such access or information to Buyer and its representatives in a manner that will not suffer from any of the foregoing impediments.
 
6.9        Conduct of Business.  From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, except as provided in this Agreement, Sellers will, and will cause the Company to, (a) exercise best efforts to cause the Company to perform its obligations under its Contracts, (b) conduct the Business in accordance with applicable Law and in the ordinary course of business, (c) not make any distribution of assets of the Company to any Persons, and (d) engage any activity or action set forth in Section 4.8, except, in any case, for actions: (i) expressly required by this Agreement or another Transaction Document, or (ii) taken with Buyer’s prior written consent.  Sellers shall use best efforts to cause the Company to continue to insure the Business and its employees against insurable risks up to the Closing in the manner and to the extent such items were insured on the date hereof.
 
6.10      Exclusivity.  From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any Seller shall, directly or indirectly, through any representative or otherwise, solicit or entertain offers from, negotiate with or in any manner encourage, discuss, accept, or consider any proposal of, any other Person relating to the acquisition or merger of the Company or any assets of the Company or any transaction that could affect the transactions contemplated hereby. Sellers’ Representative shall promptly notify Buyer regarding any contact between any Seller or the Company or their respective representatives and any other Person regarding any such offer or proposal or any related inquiry.

7.1       Tax Assistance.  The Company and each Seller shall cooperate and to the extent reasonably required by the Buyer agree to use reasonable efforts to furnish or cause to be furnished to the Buyer at any time after the date hereof, upon request, as promptly as reasonably practicable, such information (including access to books and records to the extent they are in their possession) and assistance relating to the Company, as is reasonably requested for the filing of any tax returns (“Returns”), for the preparation of any audit and for the prosecution or defense of any pending or threatened audit or assessment, suit, proposed adjustment, deficiency, dispute, administrative or judicial proceeding or other similar claim.

Such Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods unless a different treatment of any item is required by Law.
 
39

(b)        Buyer shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared at its sole cost and expense, all Returns required by applicable Law to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date (while taking into account all applicable extensions), including Returns with respect to (A) a Straddle Period and (B) any period closed prior to the Closing Date, but not filed on or prior to the Closing Date ((A) and (B), (collectively, “Buyer-Prepared Returns”), which Buyer-Prepared Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Return in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company with respect to such items, except to the extent such past practices are not “more likely than not” to be upheld under applicable Law.  The Buyer shall deliver a draft of each income Buyer-Prepared Return to the Sellers for review and comment at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Buyer-Prepared Returns, and the Buyer shall consider in good faith such comments that Sellers submit no less than five (5) days prior to the due date of such Buyer-Prepared Return. It is hereby understood and agreed that all Taxes indicated as due and payable on such Buyer-Prepared Returns shall be the responsibility of the Sellers to the extent they constitute Taxes of the Company relating or attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company, and shall be paid by the Sellers in accordance with this paragraph, except to the extent such Pre-Closing Taxes were included in the determination of Indebtedness. It is further understood and agreed that each Seller, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties against, and shall defend the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against, any and all Losses (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any Third-Party Claim) that are directly or indirectly suffered, incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, any Buyer Indemnified Party that directly or indirectly arise out of or are directly or indirectly related to any of the representations related to Taxes herein, and to any Company Taxes which were incurred or arose during the Pre-Closing Tax Period.
 
ARTICLE 8
INDEMNIFICATION
 
8.1       Survival.  Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall terminate on the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date; provided, however that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.11(a)  (Assets) shall survive the Closing and shall terminate on the date that is four (4) years following the Closing Date; and provided, further, that the Fundamental Representations shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations plus 60 days (each such date, the “Expiration Date”) provided, however, that if, at any time on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date, any Indemnified Party delivers a written notice in accordance with the terms hereof, alleging the existence of an inaccuracy in or a breach of any of such representations and warranties and asserting a claim for recovery under ARTICLE 8 based on such alleged inaccuracy or breach, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the Expiration Date until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved.  All covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document shall survive the Closing until fully performed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the survival periods set forth in this Section 8.1 constitute contractual statutes of limitations, (ii) are specifically bargained for, (iii) are an essential part of the consideration for the Purchased Shares and (iv) any claim brought by any Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 must be brought or filed prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period with respect to the provision upon which such claim is based.
 
8.2         Indemnification by the Sellers.
 
(a)       Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 8, each Seller, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Buyer, Buyer’s current and future Affiliates, Buyer’s and Buyer’s Affiliates’ current and future Representatives and the respective successors and assigns of the foregoing Persons (including, after the Closing, the Company, its Representatives and its and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”)) against, and shall hold harmless and defend the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any Third-Party Claim) that are directly or indirectly suffered, incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, any Buyer Indemnified Party that directly or indirectly arise out of or are directly or indirectly related to:
 
40

(i)           any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Sellers or the Company contained in this Agreement (provided, however, Sellers shall only have several, and not joint, indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any inaccuracy in or breach of Section 4.3 (Capitalization)); and
 
(ii)          any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company or any Seller pursuant to this Agreement; and
 
(iii)         the amount, if any, by which the Closing Cash Amount set forth in the Closing Certificate exceeds the Cash held by the Company as of the Measuring Time;
 
(iv)         any Closing Indebtedness Amount or Closing Transaction Expenses Amount, in each case to the extent not included in the Closing Certificate; and/or
 
(v)          any Excluded Liability.
 
(b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any indemnification payment obligations under this Section 8.2 by requiring Sellers to either (at the Sellers’ choice, at the sole discretion of the Sellers’ Representative, by written notice to Buyer): (i) remit cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (ii) redemption of shares of Buyer Common Stock held by a Seller at a valued based on the thirty (30) day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of the notice provided under this Section 8.2(b), or (iii) offset against any future payments owed by Buyer to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, including the Additional Cash Payment (Section 2.3), the Regulatory Milestone Payment (Section 2.4), or the Earn-Out Royalty (Section 2.5). Sellers’ Representative shall provide written notice to Buyer of its election of payment method within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of any indemnification obligation under this ARTICLE 8, and such payment  (in the case of clause (i)) or redemption (in the case of clause (ii)) or the first offset (in the case of an election under clause (iii)) shall be made within five (5) Business Days of such notice.  For the avoidance of doubt, if payment is not made timely, and in accordance with this Section 8.2(b), Buyer shall have the right to offset against any outstanding payments that may remain outstanding and owing to Sellers, in addition to any other remedy at law.  For the purposes of determining the amount of Losses and for determining whether or not any breaches or inaccuracies of any representations or warranties have occurred, the representations and warranties of the Company or any Seller contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be qualified by “material,” “in all material respects” or “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar term or limitation.
 
8.3        Indemnification by Buyer.  Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 8, Buyer shall indemnify the Sellers, the Sellers’ current and future Affiliates, the Sellers’ and the Sellers Affiliates’ current and future Representatives and the respective successors and assigns of the foregoing Persons (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against, and shall defend the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any Third-Party Claim) that are directly or indirectly suffered, incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, any Seller Indemnified Party that directly or indirectly arise out of or are directly or indirectly related to:
 
41

(a)          any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement; and
 
(b)          any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.
 
8.4         Certain Limitations.  The Person or Persons making a claim under this ARTICLE 8 is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the Person or Persons against which such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE 8 is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnification provided for in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 of this Agreement shall be subject to the following limitations:
 
(a)         Indemnification Cap.
 
(i)         Subject to Sections 8.4(a)(ii) of this Agreement, the Sellers shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) of this Agreement with respect to any Loss to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties have received indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) of this Agreement is equal to or has exceeded   $500,000.
 
(ii)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the limitations set forth in Section 8.2(a)(i) shall not apply to Losses that are directly or indirectly suffered, incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, any Buyer Indemnified Party that directly or indirectly arise out of or are directly or indirectly related to (A) breaches or inaccuracies of any Fundamental Representations, or (B) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, criminal act or willful misconduct.
 
(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 8.1, 8.4(a) or 8.4(b) of this Agreement, the limitations set forth in Sections 8.1, 8.4(a) or 8.4(b) of this Agreement shall not apply in the event of any (i) breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representations or (ii) fraud, intentional misrepresentation, criminal act or willful misconduct.
 
8.5         Indemnification Procedures.
 
(a)          Third-Party Claims.
 
(i)          If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof (if a Seller is the Indemnifying Party, then such Seller shall be provided prompt written notice). The failure to give such reasonably prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Each such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the good faith estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.
 
42

(ii)         The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in which the Indemnifying Party acknowledges without qualification its indemnification obligation hereunder at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in good faith in such defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding as contemplated in this Section 8.5(a), the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to conduct the defense of such claim or legal proceeding and shall have the right to take any action (subject to Section 8.5(b) of this Agreement) it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims with respect to any Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party.
 
(iii)         In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof.  The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, reasonable fees and disbursements for such additional representation shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.
 
(iv)        If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement by the 15th Business Day following the date on which the Indemnified Party delivers to the Indemnifying Party the prompt written notice of such Third-Party Claim that is contemplated by the first sentence of Section 8.5(a)(i) of this Agreement or loses its right to defend such Third-Party Claim by failing to diligently defend such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.5(b) of this Agreement, pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including in the immediately foregoing sentence), but subject to Section 8.5(a)(iii) of this Agreement, in no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for the fees or disbursements of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.5, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of a Third-Party Claim if (i) the Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, investigation or allegation, (ii) the Third-Party Claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief or relief other than for monetary Losses against the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the Third-Party Claim, if adversely determined, would impair in any material respect the financial condition, business, operations, reputation or prospects of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, or (iv) an actual or readily apparent conflict of interest (as determined by the Indemnified Party upon written advice of counsel) exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim that precludes effective joint representation.
 
(v)         If, pursuant to this Section 8.5, the Indemnified Party so contests, defends, litigates or settles a Third-Party Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of defending the Third-Party Claim which are incurred from time to time, promptly following the presentation to the Indemnifying Party of reasonably documented bills for such attorneys’ fees and other expenses, subject, however, to any applicable limitations set forth in this Agreement.  Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in this Agreement, all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.
 
43

(vi)        Seller Representative and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to Section 6.2 of this Agreement) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending Party, management employees of the non-defending Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
 
(b)         Settlement of Third-Party Claims.
 
(i)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, so long as a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim solely for monetary payment that will be paid by the Indemnifying Party without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation (or any injunctive or other form of relief) on the part of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates and provides for, in a customary form, a full, unconditional written release of each Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim, and does not adversely affect the conduct of the business of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party.
 
(ii)          If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.5(a) of this Agreement, it shall not agree to any settlement or other determination without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
 
8.6        Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.
 
8.7        Exclusive Remedy.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except with respect to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, criminal act or willful misconduct or any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 10.13, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to (a) any and all claims for any breach (or alleged breach) of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement, (b) otherwise with respect to the performance or breach of this Agreement, (c) the Transactions or (d) otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 8 and ARTICLE 7.

(iii)       Sellers and the Company shall have duly performed and complied in all material respects with all agreements, covenants and conditions required by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to be performed or complied with by it prior to or on the Closing Date;

(b)         by Buyer by written notice to Sellers’ Representative if:
 
(i)         Buyer is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company and/or Sellers pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Section 9.1(a) and such breach, inaccuracy, or failure has not been cured by the Company and/or Sellers (as applicable) within 5 Business Days of Sellers’ Representative receipt of written notice of such breach from Buyer; or

10.3      Recitals; Interpretation.  The recitals to this Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into the Agreement for all purposes. For purposes of this Agreement: (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; (c) if a term is defined as one part of speech (such as a noun), it shall have a corresponding meaning when used as another part of speech (such as a verb); (d) terms defined in the singular have the corresponding meanings in the plural, and vice versa; (e) unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, words importing the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neutral genders; and vice versa; (f) except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, all references to currency herein shall be to, and all payments required hereunder shall be paid in, Dollars; (g) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or article in which such words appear; and (h) the use of “ordinary course of business” shall be deemed to mean “ordinary course of business and, if applicable, consistent with past practice.” Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement: (x) to Articles, Sections, Schedules, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Schedules, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits to, this Agreement and (y) to a particular statute or regulation include all rules and regulations thereunder and any predecessor or successor statute, rule or regulation, in each case, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number shall refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified. Whenever any action must be taken under this Agreement on or by a day that is not a Business Day, then such action may be validly taken on or by the next day, following such day, that is a Business Day. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to in this Agreement shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim in this Agreement.
 
10.4     Headings and Captions.  The headings and captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. All Section headings in the Disclosure Schedules correspond to the Sections of this Agreement; provided, however, that disclosure under any Section in the Disclosure Schedules will constitute disclosure under all other reasonably relevant Sections of the Disclosure Schedules without the need for cross-references, but only to the extent that such relevance is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure.
 
10.5      Severability.  If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
10.6     Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Exhibits, Disclosure Schedules and other schedules to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior representations, warranties, negotiations, discussions, proposals, letters of intent, term sheets, undertakings, understandings, covenants and agreements (including draft agreements (including non-final versions of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any such other agreement, certificate, instrument or other document)), whether written and oral, with respect to such subject matter and the Transactions. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and the Exhibits, Disclosure Schedules or other schedules to this Agreement (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules or any such other schedule to this Agreement), any other Transaction Document or the Confidentiality Agreement, the statements in the body of this Agreement shall control.
 
10.7      Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties (for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Seller Representative shall constitute the consent of all of the Sellers), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party or Parties of any of its (or their) obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 10.7 shall be void and without effect, ab initio.
 
48

10.8      No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except as provided in ARTICLE 8 of this Agreement, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
 
10.9      Amendment and Modification; Waiver.  This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by Buyer and the Seller Representative. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No waiver by any Party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
 
10.10     Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution Process.
 
(x)        This Agreement, the negotiation, execution, terms and performance of this Agreement, the rights of the Parties under this Agreement, and all Actions arising, in whole or in part, under or in connection with or related to this Agreement or the Transactions, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.
 
(y)        Any civil action, counterclaim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions will be brought exclusively in the courts of record of the State of Delaware in Wilmington County or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Each Party irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such court in any such civil action or legal proceeding and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such civil action or legal proceeding in such court. Service of any court paper may be effected on such Party in accordance with Section 10.2 of this Agreement, or in such other manner as may be provided under Law.
 
10.11   No Construction Against Drafting Party.  The Parties hereto acknowledge that each Party hereto and its attorneys have reviewed this Agreement and that any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party, or any similar rule operating against the drafter of an agreement, shall not be applicable to the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. Any controversy over construction of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of authorship or negotiation.
 
10.12     Counterparts; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to an electronic mail message or any electronic signature complying with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000, Public Law 106-229, as amended (e.g., Adobe eSign or DocuSign) (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. The signatures of the Parties delivered by means of Electronic Delivery shall be “electronic signatures” within the meaning of the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (USA) and the Electronic Commerce Directive (EU) in all jurisdictions where the legislation has been adopted. No Party shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such Party forever waives any such defense.
 
49

10.13    Specific Performance.  The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties are entitled pursuant to this Agreement.
 
10.14     Jury Waiver.  IN ANY CIVIL ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM, OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, WHICH ARISES OUT OF, CONCERNS, OR RELATES TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AND ALL TRANSACTIONS, THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, TRIAL SHALL BE TO A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AND NOT TO A JURY. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY. ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT, AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT OF THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. NEITHER PARTY HAS MADE OR RELIED UPON ANY ORAL REPRESENTATIONS TO OR BY ANY OTHER PARTY REGARDING THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SECTION 10.14. EACH PARTY HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE EFFECT OF THIS SECTION 10.14. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN ADVISED BY ITS OWN COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO THIS SECTION 10.14.
 
10.15     Seller Representative.
 
(a)         Appointment of the Seller Representative. In addition to the other rights and authority granted to the Seller Representative elsewhere in this Agreement, each Seller, without any further action by any Seller being required, collectively and irrevocably constitute, appoint, authorize, direct and empower [**] as their true, lawful, sole and exclusive representative, agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact (the “Seller Representative”), with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of the Sellers with respect to the consummation of the Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the immediately foregoing sentence, the Seller Representative is authorized to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things and execute all such documents as the Seller Representative shall deem necessary, desirable, convenient or appropriate in connection with (i) the Transactions (including in connection with facilitating the consummation of the Transactions), this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or (ii) otherwise performing the duties or exercising the rights granted to the Seller Representative under this Agreement. EACH SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS HIS, HER, OR ITS EXPRESS INTENTION TO HEREBY GRANT A DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY (WHICH POWER OF ATTORNEY IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST) UNTO SELLER REPRESENTATIVE WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE AUTHORITY GRANTED TO SELLER REPRESENTATIVE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 10.15. Neither such appointment nor the authority granted to the Seller Representative by this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 10.15) shall be affected by the death, illness, dissolution, disability, incapacity or other inability to act of any principal pursuant to any Law. The Seller Representative has accepted such appointment as of the date hereof.

(b)         Indemnification; Expenses.
 
(i)          The Sellers shall indemnify and defend the Seller Representative and hold the Seller Representative harmless against all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, suits, judgments, penalties, fines, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, sales and use taxes and all expenses even if not taxable as court costs, incurred without bad faith or fraud by the Seller Representative (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance, performance or administration of the Seller Representative’s duties under this Agreement (collectively, the “Seller Representative Liabilities”).
 
(ii)        Any expenses or taxable income incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall not be personal obligations of the Seller Representative but shall be payable by and attributable to the Sellers, pro-rata between them. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller Representative shall be entitled and is hereby granted the right to set off and deduct any unpaid or non-reimbursed Seller Representative Liabilities from amounts delivered to the Seller Representative (including amounts delivered to the Seller Representative on behalf of or for the benefit of any Seller) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Seller Representative may also from time to time submit invoices to the Sellers with respect to any of the Seller Representative Liabilities, which shall be paid by each Seller promptly following the delivery of each such invoice to the Sellers. Upon the request of any Seller, the Seller Representative shall provide such Seller with an accounting of all of the Seller Representative Liabilities incurred, as of such time, by the Seller Representative.
 
(c)        Ratification of Past Acts. The Sellers collectively and irrevocably acknowledge, agree to and ratify all acts of the Seller Representative, on or prior to the Closing Date, to the full extent that such acts were within the Seller Representative’s authority pursuant to this Section 10.15. Without limiting the generality of the immediately foregoing sentence, the Sellers collectively and irrevocably acknowledge, agree to and ratify all acts of the Seller Representative, on or prior to the Closing Date, relating in any way to the consummation of the Transactions or the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document.
 
(d)      Buyer’s Reliance.  The Sellers further authorize, approve and agree that Buyer may rely conclusively, absolutely and exclusively, without inquiry, upon any communication given or action taken by the Seller Representative as the communication or action of each Seller in communications or actions required or permitted to be given or taken by the Seller Representative hereunder and will not be liable to any Seller or any other Person for any communication given or not given or action taken or not taken in reliance upon the direction of the Seller Representative. Buyer will not be obligated to inquire as to the authority of the Seller Representative with respect to the giving of any communication or the taking of any action that the Seller Representative gives or takes on behalf of any Seller.
 
10.16    Release.  Effective upon the Closing, each Seller agrees that it will not, in any circumstances, bring any Action against Buyer, the Company or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or Representatives arising out of any action taken by the Company prior to the Closing.  Effective upon the Closing, each Seller (on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns and any other Person that could make a claim on behalf of such Seller) hereby releases and forever discharges Buyer, the Company and their respective Affiliates and their respective past, present and future equityholders, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and Representatives, and each of their respective successors and assigns (individually, a “Seller Releasee” and, collectively, the “Seller Releasees”), from any liability arising out of any matter, circumstance or event occurring prior to the Closing, other than (a) any rights or claims of a Seller for any breach, non-performance, action or failure to act under this Agreement or (b) with respect to any rights of a Seller under any Transaction Document (the “Released Seller Claims”).  Further, each Seller hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Released Seller Claim, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any Action of any kind against any Seller Releasee based upon any Released Seller Claim.  Each Seller understands and acknowledges that the release under this Section 10.16 with respect to the Released Seller Claims will remain effective in all respects notwithstanding such additional or different facts and legal theories or the discovery of those additional or different facts or legal theories.
 
51

10.17    No Waiver Relating to Claims for Fraud, Etc.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the liability of the Sellers under ARTICLE 8 will be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other liability that the Sellers may have at law or in equity based on any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, criminal act or willful misconduct committed by a Seller or with the actual Knowledge of the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions set forth in ARTICLE 8, shall be deemed a waiver by any Party of any right or remedy which such Party may have at law or in equity against any Person based on any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, criminal act or willful misconduct committed by or with the actual knowledge of such Person or in which such Person is otherwise involved, nor will any such provisions limit, or be deemed to limit: (a) the amounts of recovery that may be sought or awarded in any such claim for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, criminal acts or willful misconduct against such Person; (b) the time period during which a claim for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, criminal acts or willful misconduct may be brought against such Person; or (c) the recourse that may be sought against such Person with respect to a claim for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, criminal acts or willful misconduct.
