5.1 Organization and Good Standing.  Buyer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has all requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or conducts any business so as to require such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.
 
5.2 Authority and Enforceability.  Buyer has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to consummate the Acquisition.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the Acquisition have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Buyer.  This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have been duly executed and delivered by Buyer and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller, constitute the valid and binding obligations of Buyer, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors rights generally, and (b) the availability of injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

(b) No consent of or filing with any Governmental Entity is required by Buyer in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, other than such consents, filings or notices in respect of which the failure to obtain would not reasonably be expected materially to impair or delay the ability of Buyer to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
 
5.4 Litigation.  There is no Action pending or, to Buyer’s Knowledge, threatened against, Buyer that (a) challenges or seeks to enjoin, alter or materially delay the Acquisition, or (b) except as set forth in the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, would reasonably be expected to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.
 
5.5 Availability of Funds.  Upon the closing of the Private Offering, Buyer will have sufficient immediately available funds or existing financing facilities (the “Financing”) to enable it to pay all amounts payable on the date hereof pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise necessary to consummate all the transactions contemplated hereby.  Evidence of such funds and copies of such Financing have been provided to Seller.  Upon the consummation of such transactions contemplated hereby, (a) Buyer will not be insolvent, (b) Buyer will not be left with unreasonably small capital, (c) Buyer will not have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature and (d) the capital of Buyer will not be impaired.

(a) In the event that any claim or demand, or other circumstance or state of facts that could give rise to any claim or demand, for which an Indemnitor may be liable to an Indemnitee hereunder is asserted or sought to be collected by a third party (“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitee shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify the Indemnitor in writing of such Third Party Claim (“Notice of Claim”).  The Notice of Claim shall (i) state that the Indemnitee has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates that it will incur liability for Losses for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled hereunder.  The Indemnitee shall enclose with the Notice of Claim a copy of all papers served with respect to such Third Party Claim, if any, and any other documents evidencing such Third Party Claim.
 
(b) The Indemnitor may notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor desires to assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice and at its sole cost and expense (a “Third Party Defense”).  If the Indemnitor assumes the Third Party Defense in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, but the Indemnitor shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, (ii) the Indemnitee will not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement provides for equitable relief without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.  The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Losses from Third Party Claims and will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims.  The parties will also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto.  Whether or not the Indemnitor has assumed the Third Party Defense, such Indemnitor will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent.
 
 
 
 
 
(c) If the Indemnitor does not affirmatively elect not to assume the Third Party Defense in accordance with Section 9.4(b), the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume the Third Party Defense, at its sole cost and expense (or, if the Indemnitee incurs a Loss with respect to the matter in question for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3, as applicable, at the expense of the Indemnitor) upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnitor; provided that the (i) Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in the Third Party Defense at its sole cost and expense, but the Indemnitee shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof; (ii) the Indemnitor may at any time thereafter assume the Third Party Defense, in which event the Indemnitor shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel incurred prior to the assumption by the Indemnitor of the Third Party Defense, and (iii) the Indemnitor will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent.
 
9.5 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims.  The Indemnitee will notify the Indemnitor in writing promptly of its discovery of any matter that does not involve a Third Party Claim, such notice to contain the information set forth in the following sentence.  The Notice of Claim shall (i) state that the Indemnitee has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates that it will incur liability for Losses for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related, and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled hereunder.  In the event that the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnitee that it disputes such claim within 30 days from receipt of such Notice of Claim, the claim specified therein shall be deemed a liability of the Indemnitor hereunder (subject to the other limitations set forth in Sections 9.2(b) and 9.3(b), as applicable).  The Indemnitee will reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnitor in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnitee and in otherwise resolving such matters.  Such assistance and cooperation will include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters, and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.
 
 
 
 
 
9.6 Calculation of Indemnity Payments.
 
(a) The Indemnitee agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue and collect on any recovery available under any insurance policies.  The Indemnitor agrees that the Indemnitee shall have no obligation to maintain insurance other than against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are customary in the type and size of business to which the Indemnitee is engaged.  The amount of Losses payable under this Article IX by the Indemnitor shall be reduced by any and all amounts recovered by the Indemnitee under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor.  If the Indemnitee receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any such Losses, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnitor, then such Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitor for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnitor in connection with providing such indemnification up to the amount received by the Indemnitee, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in collecting such amount.
 
(b) The amount of Losses incurred by an Indemnitee shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnitee arising from the incurrence or payment of any such indemnified amount.
 
(c) Each party agrees that, for so long as such party has any right of indemnification under Article IX, it will not, and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its Affiliates do not, voluntarily or by discretionary action (including, without limitation, conducting any invasive sampling or testing), accelerate the timing of, or increase the cost, of any obligation of any other party under Article IX, except to the extent that such action is taken (i) for a reasonable legitimate purpose and not with a purpose of discovering a condition that would constitute a breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement of the other party hereto or (ii) in response to a discovery by such party without violation of clause (i) above, of meaningful evidence of a condition that constitutes a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any other party hereunder (any such voluntary or discretionary action, other than as so excepted, a “Prohibited Action”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Indemnitor shall not be obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee for any Loss to the extent arising from any Prohibited Action.
 
(d) No Losses shall be determined or increased based on any multiple of any financial measure (including earnings, sales or other benchmarks) that might have been used by Buyer in the valuation of the Business or the Purchased Assets.
 
9.7 Characterization of Indemnification Payments.  Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the parties shall treat any indemnification payment made hereunder as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
 
9.8 Limitations on Indemnity Payments.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:
 
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, following the Closing, the aggregate liability of each Party under this Article IX or otherwise arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements from any and all causes (whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, law or equity, or any other cause of action), and except in the event of fraud (including intentional misrepresentation) or willful misconduct, shall be limited to and shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Maximum Liability Limit); provided, however, that (i) claims related to Buyer’s failure to pay any amounts due and payable under the Note, the Lease Agreements, the Patent License Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement shall not be subject to the Maximum Liability Limit; (ii) Seller’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the first sentence of Section 4.5 (Title to and Use of Purchased Assets) shall be limited to and shall not exceed Nine Million Three Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three Dollars ($9,333,333); (iii) there shall be no limit to the aggregate liability of Seller under this Article IX or otherwise arising out of or relating to Sections 4.4 (Taxes) and 4.8 (Brokers and Finders) and subsections (iii) through (vii) of Section 9.2(a) (Third Party Claims, WARN Act violations, bulk sales law, Seller’s employee benefit plans, and Excluded Liabilities); and (iv) there shall be no limit to the aggregate liability of Buyer under this Article IX or otherwise arising out of or relating to Section 5.6 (Brokers and Finders) and subsection (iii) of Section 9.3(a) (Assumed Liabilities).

10.7 Confidentiality.
 
(a) “Confidential Information” means non-public information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”) under this Agreement, including the terms, and contents, of this Agreement.  Confidential Information may include, but is not limited to, discussions taking place under this Agreement, specifications, designs, process information, technical data, marketing plans, business plans, customer names, product roadmaps, pricing, prototypes, toolkits, software, and/or intellectual property.

Schedule 5.4
Litigation

Class Action Litigation 

In June 2013, one purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York and one purported class action complaint was filed the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ against the Buyer’s sole shareholder, Uni-Pixel, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), and the Parent’s CEO, CFO, and Chairman. The complaint filed in the Southern District of New York was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff on July 2, 2013.  The surviving complaint, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. v. Uni-Pixel, Inc., et. al. (Cause No. 4:13-cv-01649) (the “Class Action Lawsuit”), alleged that the Parent and its officers and directors violated the federal securities laws, specifically Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by making purportedly false and misleading statements concerning its licensing agreements and product development.  The complaint sought unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Parent’s common stock who purchased during the period from December 7, 2012 to May 31, 2013.  On July 25, 2014, the judge granted in part and denied in part the Parent’s motion to dismiss the case, significantly limiting the claims remaining in the Class Action Lawsuit.  On August 25, 2014, the Parent filed an answer to the Class Action Lawsuit. In November 2014 the parties reached an agreement to settle the Class Action Lawsuit.  See the discussion below titled “Potential Settlement”. 

Shareholder Derivative Litigation and Settlement

On February 19, 2014, a shareholder derivative lawsuit, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, et. al., was filed in the 165th Judicial District in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Texas.  On February 21, 2014, another shareholder derivative lawsuit, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, et. al., was also filed in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County district court.  Both complaints allege various causes of action against certain current and former officers and directors of the Parent, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, insider selling, and unjust enrichment.  On April 8, 2014, these derivative actions were consolidated into one action, and on September 9, 2014, plaintiff filed an amended consolidated complaint. On April 13, 2015, the Court approved the settlement of the consolidated shareholder derivative lawsuit, which stipulates the payment by the Parent of $150,000 in cash, payable within 15 Business Days of the settlement, and approximately 20,833 shares of the Parent’s common stock, issuable within 5 Business Days of the settlement. The cash payment portion will be paid from insurance proceeds.
 
Potential Settlement of Securities Class Action Lawsuit

In November 2014, the Parent entered a memorandum of understanding to settle the securities class action lawsuit pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, captioned ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. v. Uni-Pixel, Inc., et. al. (Cause No. 4:13-cv-01649). If completed, the class action settlement would result in a payment of $2.35 million in cash to the settlement class, inclusive of fees and expenses. In addition, the Parent would issue $2.15 million in common stock to the settlement class with a range of shares of the Parent’s common stock between 358,333 shares and 430,000 shares, calculated by using the trailing 5 day average stock price from the date of court approval of settlement.  The Parent cannot provide any assurance that the potential settlement will ultimately be finalized or approved. 
 
 
 
 

Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation

On November 19, 2013, the Parent learned that the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued subpoenas concerning the Buyer’s agreements related to its InTouch Sensors.  The Parent is cooperating fully with the SEC regarding this non-public, fact-finding inquiry. The SEC has informed the Parent that this inquiry should not be construed as an indication that any violations of law have occurred or that the SEC has any negative opinion of any person, entity or security. The Parent does not intend to comment further on this matter unless and until this matter is closed or further action is taken by the SEC which, in the Parent’s judgment, merits further comment or public disclosure.
