(e) all Liabilities arising from or relating to any Transferred Employee, including all Liabilities in respect of applicable Legal Requirements, but only to the extent arising out of events or occurrences occurring on or after the date on which such Transferred Employee’s employment with Purchaser commences.

(g) any (i) Taxes of Seller (or any shareholder or Affiliate of Seller) or with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, any Tax relating to Seller or the Purchased Assets, (ii) Taxes that arise out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (iii) other Taxes of Seller (or any shareholder or Affiliate of Seller) of any kind or description (including any Liability for Taxes of Seller (or any shareholder or Affiliate of Seller)) that becomes a Liability of Purchaser under any common law doctrine of de facto merger or transferee or successor liability or otherwise by operation of Contract or Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Taxes related to the Purchased Assets that are allocable between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Taxable period beginning after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 9.2(c) of this Agreement shall not be treated as Excluded Liabilities to the extent that such Taxes are allocable to the portion of the Taxable period beginning after the Closing Date;

(h) all Liabilities arising from the Excluded Assets; and

(i) all Liabilities that are not Assumed Liabilities.

1.5 Non-Assignable Assets.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Assigned Contract or other Purchased Asset, including any Governmental Approval identified on Schedule 1.1(c), is not assignable or transferable (each, a “Non-Assignable Asset”) without the consent, authorization or approval of, or waiver by, a third party or action by a Governmental Authority (each, an “Assignment Consent”), either as a result of the provisions thereof or applicable Legal Requirements, and any such Assignment Consent is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement and the related instruments of transfer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of such Non-Assignable Asset and such Non-Assignable Asset shall not be included in the Purchased Assets. Instead, the parties, for a period of six (6) months following the Closing Date, shall, in good faith, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such Assignment Consents and, to the extent such Assignment Consents are obtained during such six (6) month period, such Non-Assignable Assets shall cease to be Non-Assignable Assets and shall be deemed to have been included within the Purchased Assets without any further action by any Person; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.5 shall require Seller or any of its Affiliates to pay any fee or other payment, or incur any Liability or out-of-pocket expense in connection with the efforts set forth in this Section 1.5, unless Purchaser reimburses in full Seller or its Affiliate for such fee, payment or out-of-pocket expense.

(b) For a period of six (6) months after the Closing, and to the extent Purchaser continues to discharge its obligations under this Agreement, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in commercially reasonable arrangements designed to provide Purchaser or its designee with the benefits of the Non-Assignable Assets after the Closing as if the appropriate Assignment Consents had been obtained, including by granting subleases or other rights and establishing arrangements whereby Purchaser or its designee shall undertake the work necessary to perform under Assigned Contracts. To the extent the benefits of a Non-Assignable Asset are made available to Purchaser, whether during or after such six (6) month period, Purchaser shall perform the obligations of Seller under such Non-Assignable Asset and assume all Liabilities related thereto.

(c) Seller provides no assurances to Purchaser that any consent, authorization, approval or waiver of a third party contemplated by this Section 1.5 will be granted. Subject to compliance by Seller with the provisions of this Section 1.5, the parties acknowledge and agree that neither Seller nor its Affiliates shall be obligated to obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver hereunder and neither (i) the failure to so actually obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver in connection with the consummation of the Transaction in and of itself nor (ii) any default or termination or any Proceeding commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person to the extent arising out of any such failure to so actually obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver in connection with the consummation of the Transaction in and of itself shall be deemed (A) a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement or (B) to cause any condition to Purchaser’s obligations to close the Transactions to be deemed not satisfied. If such consent is not obtained, Seller will be deemed to have fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement and under no circumstances shall the Purchase Price be reduced or Seller or its Affiliates be subject to any Liability on account of the failure to obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver.

Article 2.

CONSIDERATION FOR TRANSFER

2.1 Purchase Price and Assumption of Assumed Liabilities.

(a) Purchaser agrees to assume the Assumed Liabilities and pay to Seller the sum of (i) the Closing Payment, plus (ii) the amount of the Upward Adjustment Amount (if any), minus (iii) the amount of the Downward Adjustment Amount (if any), plus (iv) the Escrow Amount (less all amounts thereof disbursed to Purchaser) (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). At the Closing, Purchaser will pay to Seller the sum of (x) $18,000,000, plus (y) the Estimated Inventory Fee, minus (z) the Escrow Amount (the “Closing Payment”). At Closing, payments shall be made as follows:

(i) Purchaser will pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds the Closing Payment in the allocation amounts and to the wire transfer addresses of Seller as provided to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller on or before the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date; and

(ii) Purchaser will deposit the Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds into the Escrow Account, which shall be held and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

2.2 Inventory Fee; Procedures for Calculating and Paying the Inventory Fee Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Inventory Fee.

(i) At the Closing, Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall transfer to Purchaser, all of Seller’s transferrable right, title and interest in and to the inventory of raw materials owned by Seller as of the Closing Date set forth on Schedule 2.2(a)(i), as such schedule shall be updated prior to the Closing in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(ii) (collectively, the “Purchased Inventory”).

(ii) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly conduct a physical count and review of the inventory of raw materials owned by Seller and shall update Schedule 2.2(a)(i) to account for (x) raw materials consumed after the date of this Agreement as part of the ongoing and customary manufacturing operations at the Facilities and (y) raw materials purchased by Seller after the date of this Agreement that Purchaser desires to include in the Purchased Inventory.

(iii) Seller shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Purchaser five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date an estimate of the Inventory Fee as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Inventory Fee”), together with a calculation of the Estimated Inventory Fee and reasonably detailed supporting information.

(b) Inventory Fee Adjustment.

(i) Calculation. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller a calculation of the Inventory Fee (the “Closing Date Inventory Statement”), together with reasonably detailed supporting information. The Closing Date Inventory Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. If Seller has any objections to the Closing Date Inventory Statement, including whether Purchaser has applied the Accounting Principles in the preparation of the Closing Date Inventory Statement, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Date Inventory Statement and the reasonably detailed supporting information, setting forth with reasonable specificity its objections (“Objections”); provided, however, that no set of Objections will be deemed timely delivered unless, if accepted in their entirety, they would cause the Inventory Fee to differ from the Estimated Inventory Fee by more than five percent (5%). If Objections are timely delivered, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly thereafter endeavor in good faith, for at least twenty-one (21) days from the date of delivery of such notice, to resolve the Objections.

(ii) Dispute Resolution. If Objections are timely delivered and, at the end of the twenty-one (21) day period, there remain unresolved Objections, either Seller or Purchaser may within five (5) Business Days submit the unresolved Objections for resolution to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or, if it is unwilling or unable to serve or conflicted, any other nationally known independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller (the “Accounting Mediator”). The Accounting Mediator will promptly, in accordance with such procedures as it deems fair and reasonable, provided, however, that each side shall be entitled to submit a written argument and argue orally before the Accounting Mediator and the other, review only those items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the unresolved Objections and resolve the dispute by adopting, in its entirety, the calculations of either Seller or Purchaser on the basis of the calculation which is closest to the outcome determined to be correct by the Accounting Mediator. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Mediator shall be limited to the unresolved Objections, and the Accounting Mediator is not to make any other determination (including the interpretation of any other provision of this Agreement). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Mediator will be paid by the non-prevailing party, and the decision of the Accounting Mediator with respect to the unresolved Objections will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Accounting Mediator and to cause the Accounting Mediator to resolve the unresolved Objections no later than thirty (30) Business Days after selection of the Accounting Mediator.

(iii) Timing of Final Determination. The Closing Date Inventory Statement and the Inventory Fee shall be deemed final as of the first date, if any, by which any of the steps outlined in Section 2.2(b)(i) and Section 2.2(b)(ii) is not taken by the relevant deadline or, if all such steps are timely taken, the date on which the Accounting Mediator shall deliver its decision to the parties.

(iv) Amount. The Estimated Inventory Fee shall be adjusted downward by the amount (if any) by which the Inventory Fee, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.2, is less than the Estimated Inventory Fee (the “Downward Adjustment Amount”). The Estimated Inventory Fee shall be adjusted upward by the amount (if any) by which the Inventory Fee, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.2, is greater than the Estimated Inventory Fee (the “Upward Adjustment Amount”). In the event of a Downward Adjustment Amount, Seller will, within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date Inventory Statement becomes final in accordance with this Section 2.2, make payment to Purchaser to an account or accounts designated by Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, of an amount equal to the Downward Adjustment Amount. In the event of an Upward Adjustment Amount, Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date Inventory Statement becomes final in accordance with this Section 2.2, make payment to Seller to an account or accounts designated by Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, of an amount equal to the Upward Adjustment Amount.

2.3 Withholding Taxes. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Legal Requirement. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Purchaser, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Purchaser to the applicable Governmental Authority, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Purchaser. Prior to making any deduction or withholding from any payment under this Agreement, Purchaser shall provide two (2) days’ prior written notice to Seller of the amounts subject to deduction or withholding and provide to Seller a reasonable opportunity to furnish forms, certificates or other items that would reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding; provided, however, that the parties shall reasonably cooperate to minimize any such deduction or withholding.

6.4 Consents. Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.2, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Consents and make and deliver all filings and notices listed on Schedule 6.4(a) as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Consents and make and deliver all filings and notices listed on Schedule 6.4(b). Nothing in this Section 6.4 shall require Seller or any of its Affiliates or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to pay any fee or other payment, or incur any Liability or out-of-pocket expense in connection with the efforts set forth in this Section 6.4, provided, however, that solely with respect to the Lease Assignment and Assumption Agreements, legal and administrative expenses associated with securing such Lease Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 3.2(d), as well as any fees and expenses associated with securing landlord consents under each Facility Lease pursuant to Section 3.2(i), shall be the sole responsibility of Seller.

6.5 Cooperation. After the Closing, subject to Section 1.5, upon the reasonable request of Purchaser, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) execute and deliver any and all further materials, documents and instruments of conveyance, transfer or assignment as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser to effect, record or verify the transfer to, and vesting in Purchaser, of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, to enforce the terms of any Assigned Contracts, including terms relating to confidentiality, and to transfer all Governmental Approvals (to the extent transferable) to Purchaser.

6.6 IT Plan. Representatives of each of Purchaser and Seller shall meet on a regular basis prior to Closing to discuss and plan for the phone and related electronic information technology systems on the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit H (the “IT Plan”). Purchaser and Seller agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly commence work on the IT Plan, and agree to cooperate in preparing the IT Plan, including by providing reasonable access to data, information systems, and personnel having expertise with their information and data systems; provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be required to terminate any third-party service provider arrangements prior to the Closing Date.

6.7 Delivery of Facilities. Seller shall (i) except for those Excluded Assets remaining at the Facilities as contemplated by the IT Plan and except as contemplated in Section 6.8, use commercially reasonable efforts to remove from the Facilities prior to the Closing or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing substantially all assets at the Facilities that are Excluded Assets, including all such Excluded Assets embedded within the Purchased Assets and (ii) cause any employee that is not a Transferred Employee to vacate the Facilities prior to the Closing. Nothing in this Section 6.7 shall impact or alter any rights or obligations set forth in Section 6.9.

For a period of four (4) months after the Closing, upon the reasonable request of Seller and upon reasonable advance written notice, Purchaser shall provide Seller and its Representatives with reasonable access to the Facilities during normal business hours of Purchaser, including reasonable access to the computers, information technology and phone systems located at the Facilities, during regular business hours at no cost to Seller, for the purposes of removing from the Facilities the Excluded Assets remaining at the Facilities following the Closing; provided, however, that such access (x) does not unreasonably interfere with the business of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or with the operation of the Facilities, and (y) in the event that Purchaser determines that providing such access could be commercially detrimental, violate any applicable Legal Requirement or agreement or waive any attorney-client privilege, then the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit such access in a manner that avoids such harm and consequence. Seller agrees that it and its personnel shall, and that it shall use cause its Representatives’ personnel to, when at the Facilities, or when given access to any computers, information technology or phone systems located at the Facilities, conform to the written policies and procedures of Purchaser concerning health, safety, conduct and security which are provided to Seller in advance from time to time. Except to the extent caused by Purchaser’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Persons from and against any and all liability for injury to any of Seller’s personnel or any of its Representatives’ personnel resulting from, or relating to, the presence of any such personnel at any Facility.

6.9 Wrong Pockets.

(a) If, for any reason after the Closing, Purchaser is found to be in possession of any Excluded Asset or subject to an Excluded Liability, (i) Purchaser shall return or transfer and convey (without further consideration) to Seller, and Seller shall accept or assume, as applicable, such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability; (ii) Seller shall assume (without further consideration) any Liabilities associated with such Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities; and (iii) Purchaser and Seller shall execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further acts which are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability back to Seller.

(b) In the event that any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability is discovered by Seller or any of its Affiliates or identified to Seller in writing by Purchaser at any time after the Closing Date, possession or ownership of which has not been transferred to, or assumed by, either Purchaser or its Affiliates at such time, Seller shall promptly take such steps as may be required to transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser, subject to Section 1.5 and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, at no additional charge to Purchaser or its Affiliates, and Purchaser or its Affiliates shall accept such Purchased Assets or assume such Assumed Liabilities, as the case may be.

(c) In the event that, on or after the Closing Date, either party shall receive any payments or other funds due to the other pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements, then the party receiving such funds shall promptly forward such funds to the proper party. The parties acknowledge and agree that there is no right of offset regarding such payments and a party may not withhold funds received from third parties for the account of the other party in the event there is a dispute regarding any other issue under any of the Transaction Agreements.

6.10 Confidentiality. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees for the benefit of Seller that all Confidential Information disclosed in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence investigation of the Facilities, the Purchased Assets, and the evaluation of the Transaction, shall be treated as and remain confidential in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

6.11 Non-Solicitation of Employees. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall, for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date (the “Non-Solicit Period”), directly solicit the employment or consulting services of or employ or engage as a consultant any of the officers or employees or the other party, so long as they are employed by such party; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6.11 shall prohibit Purchaser from soliciting the employment or consulting services of or employing or engaging as a consultant any of the Prospective Employees. For any officers or employees who have separated from employment with Purchaser or Seller (other than Prospective Employees who have separated from employment with Seller) during the Non-Solicit Period, Purchaser and Seller agree not to directly solicit them for employment or consulting services until the earlier of three months from the date of their separation with such party or the end of the Non-Solicit Period. Examples of solicitation that are prohibited under this Agreement include direct contacts to Seller or Purchaser employees by Purchaser- or Seller-retained recruiters, inbound contacts to the other party by employee-retained recruiters and any outreach by Purchaser or Seller that targets or is directed to the other party’s employees. Neither Purchaser nor Seller is prohibited from soliciting by means of a general advertisement not directed at (i) any particular individual or (ii) the employees of the other party generally. Examples of permitted activities include job postings on the internet or through job search portals, contacts through job fairs, conventions, or conferences or instances where the current Purchaser or Seller employee intentionally contacts the other party regarding an employment opportunity.

6.12 Scope and Application of Law. It is the understanding of the parties that the scope of the covenants contained in Sections 6.10 and 6.11 hereof both as to time and area covered, are reasonable and necessary to protect the rights of Purchaser and the rights of Seller. It is the parties’ intention that these covenants be enforced to the greatest extent (but to no greater extent) in time, area, and degree of participation as is permitted by Legal Requirements. The parties further agree that, in the event that any provision of Sections 6.10 and 6.11 hereof shall be determined to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction by reason of its being extended over too great a time or too great a range of activities, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. If any such covenants or any part of such covenants is to any extent declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of such covenants, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such remaining covenant shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

6.13 Compliance with WARN Act and Similar Legal Requirements. On and/or prior to the Closing Date, Seller will be responsible for compliance with the Worker Notification Laws with respect to the Prospective Employees, and for all obligations or liabilities arising thereunder as a result of any action (or failure to act) of Seller on and/or prior to the date on which the affected Prospective Employee’s employment with Seller terminates and/or on which the Prospective Employee otherwise experiences an “employment loss” as defined under the Worker Notification Laws; and after the date on which the affected Transferred Employee’s employment with Purchaser commences, Purchaser will be responsible for compliance with the Worker Notification Laws but only with respect to the Transferred Employees, and for only those obligations or liabilities arising thereunder as a result of any action (or failure to act) of Purchaser after the date on which the affected Transferred Employee’s employment with Purchaser commences. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities incurred by Seller with respect to any Transferred Employee that relate or are similar to the Worker Notification Laws, to the extent such Liabilities are based on actions taken by Purchaser on or after the Closing Date, and any such Liabilities incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates shall be paid or reimbursed in full by Purchaser. Purchaser will not, at any time within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, take any action that would obligate Seller or any of its Affiliates to provide (or to have provided) notice to any employees or cause Seller or any of its Affiliates to incur liability under the Worker Notification Laws.

6.14 Phase I Environmental Assessment. Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to engage an environmental consulting firm, which shall be selected by Purchaser subject to Seller’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in accordance with ASTM Standard 1527-13 (the “ASTM Standard”) and Limited Environmental Regulatory Compliance Assessment, as such terms are commonly understood (together, the “Phase I Environmental Assessment”) with respect to the Facilities, provided, however, that any such Phase I Environmental Assessment shall be conducted only (i) during regular business hours, (ii) with no less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Seller, (iii) in a manner which will not unduly interfere with the operation of the Facilities or impose unreasonable burdens on Facility personnel and (iv) not involve any use or operation of equipment or any invasive sampling or testing of environmental media or building materials. In the event Purchaser determines that more than a Phase I Environmental Assessment is required in order to properly determine the environmental condition of the Facilities, including conducting invasive sampling or testing, the written consent of Seller shall be obtained prior to conducting such activities, which consent may be withheld at Seller’s sole discretion, in which event Purchaser may, if the Phase I Environmental Assessment reasonably identifies “Recognized Environmental Conditions”, (as such term is defined in the ASTM Standard) terminate this Agreement upon five (5) days’ written notice to Seller. Any damage to the Facilities caused by Purchaser and its consultants in conducting any such Phase I Environmental Assessment shall be repaired by Purchaser at its sole cost and expense. In connection with the granting of access to Purchaser to conduct the Phase I Environmental Assessment, Purchaser represents that it is adequately insured, and will provide certificates of insurance to Seller prior to exercising its rights of access, which certificates shall designate Seller as an additional insured, be primary to any insurance of Seller, and waive subrogation. Except to the extent caused by Seller’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Purchaser waives, releases and agrees to defend and indemnify Seller and Seller’s representatives against all claims for injury to, or death of, Persons or for damage to property arising in any way from the access afforded to Purchaser or the activities of Purchaser relating to the Phase I Environmental Assessment. This waiver, release and indemnity by Purchaser shall survive termination of this Agreement.

6.15 Inspection of Records. Seller shall, on the one hand, and Purchaser shall, on the other hand, each use commercially reasonable efforts to make their respective books and records (including work papers in the possession of their respective accountants) with reasonable relevance to the Facilities, Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities available for inspection by the other party, or by its Representatives, for reasonable business purposes at all reasonable times during normal business hours, for a four (4) year period after the Closing Date. As used in this Section 6.15, the right of inspection includes the right to make extracts or copies (at the expenses of the Person exercising such right). The Representatives of a party inspecting the records of the other party shall be reasonably satisfactory to the other party. Without limiting any of the foregoing, Seller shall provide copies of any Facility Records not included in the Purchased Assets to the extent Purchaser is required to maintain copies of such Facility Records pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no party shall be required to disclose to the other party or any of such other party’s Representatives, or otherwise provide the other party or any of such other party’s Representatives any access to any information, properties or personnel if doing so would violate any Contract or Legal Requirement to which such party is a party or is subject or which it determines could result in a loss of the ability to successfully assert attorney-client and work product privileges.

6.16 Exclusivity.

(a) Seller hereby agrees that, during the Exclusivity Period, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Representatives (to the extent acting on Seller’s behalf) not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, respond to (other than to decline) or take any action to facilitate or encourage any inquiry or proposal (or the making thereof) from, or discussion or negotiation with, a Person or group of Persons, other than Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives, that relates to, or may constitute, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Transaction; (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person or group of Persons, other than Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives, regarding an Alternative Transaction; (iii) furnish any non-public information relating to Seller or any of its assets, business or properties, or afford access to the assets, business, properties, books or records of Seller, to any Person or group of Persons, other than Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives, in all cases relating to or for the purpose of assisting with or facilitating an Alternative Transaction; or (iv) enter into an Alternative Transaction or any agreement, arrangement or understanding, including any letter of intent, term sheet or other similar document, relating to an Alternative Transaction; provided, however, that, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.16(a) shall not apply (x) if Seller’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such actions would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements or (y) to any Alternative Transaction that relates to, constitutes or that would lead to (1) the acquisition of direct or indirect ownership or voting control, beneficially or of record, by any Person or group of more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Seller’s common stock, whether by merger, consolidation, sale or other transfer or (2) the acquisition of all or substantially all of Seller’s assets by another Person.

(b) Reasonably promptly (but in no event more than forty-eight (48) hours) following Seller’s receipt of any inquiry or proposal from a Person or group of Persons, other than Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives, that relates to, constitutes or that would lead to, an Alternative Transaction or request for non-public information relating to Seller or any of its assets, business or properties, or access to the assets, business, properties, books or records of Seller, by any Person or group of Persons, other than Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives in all cases relating to or for the purpose of assisting with or facilitating an Alternative Transaction or any inquiry or proposal with respect thereto, Seller shall advise Purchaser in writing of (i) the receipt of such inquiry, proposal or request, (ii) subject to the observance of any confidentiality agreement in effect on the date hereof, the identity of the Person making any such inquiry, proposal or request, and (iii) the terms and conditions of such inquiry or proposal or nature of the information requested, and Seller shall as reasonably promptly as practicable provide to Purchaser a copy of such inquiry, proposal or request, if in writing, or a written summary of the material terms of such inquiry, proposal or request, if oral. In addition, Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis, or upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, (x) of the status and material terms of (including material amendments or revisions or proposed material amendments or revisions to) each inquiry or proposal, and (y) as to the nature of any information requested of Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect thereto.

6.17 Supplement to Seller Disclosure Schedule. From time to time prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Seller Disclosure Schedule with respect to any matter arising after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing (each, a “Schedule Supplement”). Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Article 8 have been satisfied; provided, however, that if Purchaser shall have the right to, but does not elect to, terminate this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such Schedule Supplement, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such matter and, further, shall have irrevocably waived its right to indemnification under Article 11 with respect to such matter.

6.18 Litigation and Audit Support. To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, Purchaser and its Affiliates will reasonably cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates, and Seller and its Affiliates will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and its Affiliates, in the defense or settlement of any Liabilities, Proceedings or audits brought by any third party involving the Purchased Assets, Excluded Assets, Assumed Liabilities, Excluded Liabilities or Facilities (other than any Proceedings or audits by any Tax Authority, which shall be exclusively governed by Section 9.2(a)) for which any of them has or may have responsibility under this Agreement by providing the responsible party and such party’s legal counsel and other designated Persons reasonable access to employees, records, documents, data and other information regarding the Purchased Assets, Excluded Assets, Assumed Liabilities, Excluded Liabilities and Facilities as such party may reasonably request, to the extent maintained or under the possession or control of the requested party. The reasonable expenses incurred by a party pursuant to this Section 6.18 shall be borne by the requesting party. No access pursuant to this Section 6.18 shall be required to the extent that such access requires one party to make available to the other party records, documents, data or other information that is subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege, attorney work product or other immunity or protection from disclosure; provided, however, the parties agree to take reasonable efforts to maintain such confidentiality, privilege, immunity or protection (including, when appropriate, to enter into a customary agreement to maintain such confidentiality, privilege, immunity or protection, such as a confidentiality or joint defense agreement) or to make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such access or disclosure shall be permitted for a purpose related to a dispute or potential dispute by and between Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Seller and its Affiliates on the other hand.

Article 7.

EMPLOYEES

7.1 Transferred Employees.

(a) With Seller’s good faith cooperation and assistance, Purchaser shall offer employment commencing on the Closing Date to each Prospective Employee set forth on Schedule 7.1(a), including any Prospective Employee who is then on a leave of absence, on the terms and conditions provided for in this Section 7.1; provided, however, that any employment offered to a Prospective Employee who is then on a leave of absence shall commence as of the later of the Closing Date or the date such Prospective Employee as a Transferred Employee returns to active work (it being understood that such Prospective Employee who is then on a leave of absence will remain an employee of Seller until such Prospective Employee commences employment with Purchaser or otherwise terminates employment with Seller). Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to encourage each Prospective Employee set forth on Schedule 7.1(a) to accept employment with Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no obligation to offer employment to any such Prospective Employee on terms and conditions other than as provided for in this Section 7.1. The offer made by Purchaser to a Prospective Employee shall be made in writing and shall (i) be conditioned on such Prospective Employee’s agreement to forego a payout of up to forty (40) hours of accrued vacation earned as an employee of Seller in exchange for receiving an equivalent number of hours of accrued paid time off as a Purchaser employee, (ii) notwithstanding the amount, if any, of paid time off received as a Purchaser employee pursuant to the preceding subsection (i), provide that, for a period of three (3) months following the Closing Date, such Prospective Employee shall be permitted to incur a negative paid time off balance of up to forty (40) hours prior to earning such paid time off as a Purchaser employee, (iii) include a proprietary information and invention assignment agreement pursuant to which the Prospective Employee agrees to assign to Purchaser exclusive ownership of any know-how and proprietary information created or developed by such Prospective Employee after the Closing Date and used at the Facilities, and (iv) provide for the payment of a retention or incentive bonus, conditioned on the Prospective Employee being continuously employed by Purchaser from the Closing Date (or such later date as is applicable for any Prospective Employee on a leave of absence as of the Closing Date) through such payment date. Purchaser shall provide Seller a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the content of such offers with respect to compliance with the terms of this Agreement in advance of such offers being made, and Seller shall consider such comments in good faith, and shall also provide prompt notice of any such offers once made. Any employee of Seller or a Subsidiary who accepts such an offer of employment shall be referred to in this Agreement as a “Transferred Employee”.

(b) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each Transferred Employee who is employed by Seller as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and continues to be employed by Purchaser or any Affiliate after the Closing Date (i) the wages and incentive bonus opportunities that, in the aggregate, are at least as large, in the aggregate, as the amounts set forth on Schedule 7.1(b); provided that Purchaser may substitute incentive equity awards based on the equity securities of Purchaser or its Affiliates for any portion of an incentive cash bonus opportunity; provided, further, that such incentive equity awards are of equal or greater value (as determined in accordance with the applicable equity incentive plan of Purchaser or its Affiliates) than the incentive cash bonus opportunity for which they are substituted; and (ii) benefits that are at least comparable in the aggregate as provided to the similarly situated employees of Purchaser.

(c) Schedule 7.1(c) attached hereto sets forth key Prospective Employees (referred to in this Agreement as “Key Prospective Employees”). From the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, (i) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain the Key Prospective Employees as employees of Seller and (ii) Purchaser shall be permitted, with the prior written consent of Seller in each instance, to contact the Key Prospective Employees for purposes of entering into employment agreements with such Key Prospective Employees.

(d) Seller shall refrain from (i) offering to pay or paying any severance benefits to any Prospective Employee, except as provided pursuant to a written program or policy of Seller, pursuant to an employment or other agreement between Seller and such Prospective Employee or as required by Code Section 4980B or Sections 601-608 of ERISA and (ii) disparaging Purchaser to any Prospective Employee in a manner that undermines or is reasonably capable of undermining Purchaser’s efforts to employ such Prospective Employee.

(e) For purposes of vesting, benefit accruals (but not for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan), vacation and sick time credit and eligibility to participate under the Employee Benefit Plans of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Transferred Employee after the Closing Date (collectively the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”), each Transferred Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with Seller and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors (to the extent credited by Seller and its Subsidiaries) prior to the Closing Date, to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled, prior to the Closing Date, to credit for such service under any similar Seller Benefit Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and consistent with the terms of any Purchaser Benefit Plan) (i) each Transferred Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Purchaser Benefit Plans to the extent coverage under such Purchaser Benefit Plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Seller Benefit Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately before the Closing Date, and (ii) for purposes of each Purchaser Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Transferred Employee, any evidence of insurability requirements, all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Purchaser Benefit Plan to be waived for such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent (a) such conditions were inapplicable or waived under the comparable Seller Benefit Plan and (b) the waiver of such conditions is permissible under the terms of the Purchaser Benefit Plan.

(f) No later than the Closing Date, Purchaser shall take all actions reasonably necessary to permit each Transferred Employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) in an amount equal to the full account balance distributed or distributable to such Transferred Employee from the Seller 401(k) Plan to a Tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan in which Purchaser is a participating employer (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”) and to transfer outstanding loans to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan. Each Transferred Employee shall be eligible to become a participant in the Purchaser 401(k) Plan as of the date determined by the terms of the Purchaser 401(k) Plan.

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, in order to secure an orderly and effective transition of the employee benefit arrangements for Transferred Employees and their respective beneficiaries and dependents, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate, both before and after the Closing Date, and subject to applicable Legal Requirements, regarding the exchange of information related to the Transferred Employees, including employment records and benefits information.

Nothing contained in this Article 7, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person not a party hereto any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

Article 9.

TAX MATTERS

9.1 Purchase Price Allocation. The parties agree that the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement will be treated for Tax purposes as a Taxable purchase of assets by Purchaser. Within ninety (90) days of the delivery of the Closing Date Inventory Statement pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i), Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser an allocation of the Purchase Price and the Inventory Fee (in each case, as determined for Tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Inventory (the “Allocation”), and Purchaser shall cooperate and provide such information as Seller may reasonably request to prepare the Allocation and any adjustments thereto. The Allocation will be prepared in good faith using commercially reasonable judgment in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate) and any third-party valuation of the Purchased Assets. Thereafter, Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days either to (i) agree with and accept the Allocation or (ii) in good faith, suggest changes to the Allocation and attempt to agree with Seller as to the contents of the Allocation. Seller and Purchaser shall provide the other promptly with any other information reasonably required to complete the Allocation. Purchaser and Seller shall consult in good faith on the Allocation to resolve any differences, but neither party shall be bound by the other party’s suggestions, and, in the event that the parties do not reach agreement on the Allocation, each party shall report an allocation as such party determines in its sole discretion.

9.2 Cooperation; Allocation of Taxes.

(a) Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (including reasonable access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Tax Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the Transaction shall be borne by Seller. The appropriate party will prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable Legal Requirements, the other party will (and will cause its Affiliates to) join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for any Transfer Taxes required to be paid by Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall timely file their own Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes as required by Law and shall notify the other parties when such filings have been made. Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other prior to filing such Tax Returns to ensure that all such returns are filed in a consistent manner and each shall take such actions as may be reasonable available to reduce any Transfer Taxes (e.g., providing resale exemption certificates).

(c) In the case of any Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), all property and ad valorem Taxes and assessments on the Purchased Assets for any Straddle Period shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser, as of the close of business on the Closing Date based on the best information then available, with (i) Seller being liable for such Taxes attributable to any portion of a Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and such Taxes shall be allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and (ii) Purchaser being liable for such Taxes attributable to any portion of a Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date. Information available after the Closing Date that alters the amount of property Taxes due with respect to the Straddle Period will be taken into account and any change in the amount of such Taxes shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser. All prorations under this Section 9.2(c) shall be allocated so that items relating to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be allocated to Seller based upon the number of days in the Straddle Period on or prior to the Closing Date and items related to the portion of a Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date shall be allocated to Purchaser based upon the number of days in the Straddle Period after the Closing Date. The amount of all such prorations shall, if able to be calculated on or prior to the Closing Date, be paid on the Closing Date or, if not able to be calculated on or prior to the Closing Date, be calculated and paid as soon as practicable thereafter. Any refunds of property and ad valorem Taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets for any Straddle Period actually received will be apportioned between Purchaser and Seller in a manner consistent with the allocation of Taxes as set forth in this Section 9.2(c).

Article 10.

10.1 Circumstances for Termination.

At any time prior to the Closing, this Agreement may be terminated:

(a) by the mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller;

(b) by Seller, by written notice to Purchaser explaining the reason for such termination, if (i) any of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement fail to be true and correct such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(a)(ii) would not be satisfied (treating the Closing Date for such purposes as the date of this Agreement or, if later, the date of such breach) or (ii) Purchaser shall have breached or failed to comply with any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 8.2(a)(iii) would not be satisfied (treating the Closing Date for such purposes as the date of this Agreement or, if later, the date of such breach), provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 10.1(b), if such failure or breach is curable by Purchaser within thirty (30) days of the date Seller gives Purchaser written notice of such failure or breach in accordance with this Section 10.1(b) and Purchaser is continuing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such failure or breach, then Seller may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b) on account of such failure or breach unless such breach shall remain uncured upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period (if applicable);

(c) by Purchaser, by written notice to Seller explaining the reason for such termination, if (i) any of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement fail to be true and correct such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a)(i) or Section 8.1(a)(ii) would not be satisfied (treating the Closing Date for such purposes as the date of this Agreement or, if later, the date of such breach) or (ii) Seller shall have breached or failed to comply with any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 8.1(a)(iii) would not be satisfied (treating the Closing Date for such purposes as the date of this Agreement or, if later, the date of such breach), provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 10.1(c), if such failure or breach is curable by Seller within thirty (30) days of the date Purchaser gives Seller written notice of such failure or breach in accordance with this Section 10.1(c) and Seller is continuing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such failure or breach, then Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(c) on account of such failure breach unless such breach shall remain uncured upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period (if applicable);

(d) by either Purchaser or Seller, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, if the Closing shall not have occurred by the one hundred twentieth day following the date hereof (the “Drop-Dead Date”) for any reason; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(d) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before the Drop-Dead Date; or

(e) by either Purchaser or Seller, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, if any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent Governmental Authority shall have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transaction and such Order or other action shall have become final and nonappealable.

10.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 10.1, all obligations of the parties shall terminate, except for the obligations set forth in Sections 6.10 (Confidentiality), 12.1 (Expenses), 12.6 (Governing Law) and 12.7 (Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial); provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve either party from Liability for any breach of this Agreement that is undertaken (a) with the actual knowledge of an officer of the breaching party and (b) with the actual knowledge of an officer of the breaching party that such act would constitute a breach of this Agreement.

Article 11.

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 11, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its officers, directors, agents, employees and Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Purchaser Damages”), to the extent arising out of, relating to or resulting from (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in a representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement; (b) any breach of a covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement or in the Confidentiality Agreement, (c) any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability; or (d) any matter set forth on Schedule 11.1(d) (the “Environmental Matters”).

11.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 11, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its officers, directors, agents, employees and Affiliates from and against any and all Damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Seller Damages”), to the extent arising out of, relating to or resulting from (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in a representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; (b) any breach of a covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, or the Lease Assignment and Assumption Agreements; or (c) any Assumed Liability.

11.3 Survival; Time for Claims. Except for claims for fraud which shall survive the Closing indefinitely, all of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Claims Date”), provided, however, that (i) the representations set forth in Section 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Section 4.7 (Authority; Binding Nature), Section 4.15(a) (Title to Assets) and Section 4.18 (Brokers) shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof), and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.3 (Taxes) shall survive the Closing until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof). All pre-Closing covenants contained in this Agreement shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing. All other covenants that are to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing and continue until fully performed in accordance with their terms or, if no such term is expressly contemplated, the date which is the expiration of all applicable statute of limitations related to the underlying subject matter of such covenants. No claim under this Agreement may be made or suit instituted seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article 11 with respect to a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement unless a written notice describing such claim in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to the Indemnitee is provided to the Indemnitor on or before the expiration of the applicable survival period for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, and if such a notice is given, the survival period for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall continue as to the matters subject to the claim asserted until it is fully resolved as provided in this Agreement. Any claim asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant survival period and such claim shall survive until finally resolved.

11.4 Procedures for Indemnification. Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to indemnification under Sections 11.1 or 11.2 or any other provision of this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) of written notice of the assertion or the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to any matter referred to in Sections 11.1 or 11.2 or in any other applicable provision of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give written notice describing such claim or Proceeding in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to the Indemnitee to the party obligated to indemnify Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”), and thereafter shall keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed with respect thereto; provided, however, that failure of the Indemnitee to provide the initial notice or keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed as provided in this Section 11.4 shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby. If any Proceeding shall be commenced against any Indemnitee by a third party, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, at the Indemnitor’s sole expense; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume the defense of any such Proceeding if (i) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, counsel for the Indemnitor could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnitee because such interests would reasonably be expected to be in conflict with those of the Indemnitor, (ii) such Proceeding seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee except where such equitable relief is immaterial incidental to claims for monetary damages, (iii) the Indemnitor has failed or is failing, in the reasonable good faith opinion of the Indemnitee, based on proffered evidence, to prosecute or defend such Proceeding diligently and in good faith, or (iv) in any case where a Purchaser Indemnified Person is the Indemnitee, the amount of Damages or potential Damages arising out of such Proceeding, as determined by the Indemnitee in good faith, is reasonably expected to exceed the Purchase Price. If the Indemnitor shall assume the defense of any such Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in any Proceeding at its expense. Unless approved in writing by the Indemnitee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Indemnitor shall not settle, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any such Proceeding unless such settlement or judgment (w) does not include any monetary damages payable by the Indemnitee, (x) does not admit to any Liability on the part of the Indemnitee, (y) does not include any restriction on the operations of the Indemnitee, and (z) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee, in customary form, from all Liability with respect to the matters that are subject to such Proceeding.

11.5 Limitations on Indemnification.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Article 11 to the contrary, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Person under Section 11.1(d) (x) unless such Damages exceed $100,000, either individually or in the aggregate (the “Deductible”); (y) to the extent that the Damages exceed $750,000 in the aggregate, in which case Seller shall only be required to pay or liable for Damages in excess of the Deductible; or (z) with respect to any demand from such Purchaser or such Purchaser Indemnified Person initially made after the date that is the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Article 11 to the contrary, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Person under Article 11 with respect to Purchaser Damages (1) arising as a result of any act or omission on the part of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, (2) to the extent that the aggregate of all Purchaser Damages (other than Purchaser Damages arising out of or relating to Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities) exceeds the Purchase Price, (3) with respect to any matter if Purchaser had knowledge of such matter prior to the date hereof (other than matters arising out of or relating to Excluded Liabilities) or (4) to the extent that such indemnification would amount to a double recovery.

(d) For purposes of this Article 11, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller, and the amount of any Purchaser Damages related thereto, shall be determined without regard to any qualifications as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect included therein, except in respect of clause (i) of Section 4.2.

(e) All indemnification payments under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes unless Legal Requirements require otherwise.

(f) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE 11 FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE, COST OF COVER, DIMINUTION IN VALUE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, MULTIPLE, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND DAMAGES HEREUNDER SHALL NOT INCLUDE SUCH LOSSES EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT, IF ANY, ONE OF THE PARTIES IS HELD LIABLE FOR SUCH LOSSES TO A THIRD PARTY AND SUCH PARTY IS ENTITLED TO BE INDEMNIFIED BY THE OTHER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE 11.

11.6 Third Party Contributors. The amount of any and all Damages for which indemnification is provided pursuant to this Article 11 shall be net of any amounts actually received by the Indemnitee with respect to such Damages (i) under insurance policies after giving effect to any deductible, retention or equivalent loss rated premium adjustment and any costs or expenses incurred in recovering such insurance proceeds and (ii) otherwise from any third party (including any Tax Authority).

11.7 Loss Mitigation. Each party shall take reasonable steps to mitigate all Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages with respect to which indemnification may be requested hereunder, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to require an Indemnitee to incur any out-of-pocket costs in connection therewith.

11.8 Knowledge and Information. Neither party shall be liable under this Article 11 for any Damages based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement if the other party had knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the date hereof.

11.9 Remedies Exclusive; Escrow Releases.

(a) Other than for fraud or as set forth in Section 12.14, Seller and Purchaser expressly agree that from and after the Closing the provisions of this Article 11 shall be the exclusive remedy for all claims arising out of, resulting from or relating to the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, not later than five (5) Business Days following the Claims Date, the Escrow Agent shall release, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, to Seller the Initial Release Amount. As used herein, the “Initial Release Amount” means an amount equal to the difference of (1) the amount of all funds in the Escrow Account as of the date of release, minus (2) the sum of (A) all amounts, if any, that, as of the Claims Date, represent claimed Damages under then-pending indemnification claims under the terms of the Escrow Agreement (“Outstanding Claims”), plus (B) any amount due to the Purchaser Indemnified Persons from the Escrow Account under indemnification claims that have been finally resolved in accordance herewith and the Escrow Agreement but which the Escrow Agent has not yet released from the Escrow Account to the Purchaser Indemnified Persons.

(c) For any Outstanding Claim, subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall release, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, as and when any such Outstanding Claim is resolved, to Seller the amount of the applicable Resolved Amount. As used herein, “Resolved Amount” means, for any Outstanding Claim, an amount equal to the difference of (1) the amount claimed by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons for such Outstanding Claim, minus (2) all amounts released from the Escrow Account to the Purchaser Indemnified Persons for such Outstanding Claim.

(d) Once all Outstanding Claims are resolved between the parties in accordance with this Article 11, and all disputes (if any) are resolved between the parties, all remaining Escrow Amounts, if any, shall be paid to Seller.

2. SERVICES

2.1. General. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Service Recipient will purchase the Services from Service Provider and Service Provider will provide the Services to Service Recipient during the Term. Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that Service Provider may provide Services itself or through its Affiliates, Third Party Contractors or Service Provider Representatives; provided, however, that Service Provider shall remain responsible for Services provided by its Affiliates, Third Party Contractors or Service Provider Representatives or any breach of this Agreement resulting from any act or failure to act by such Affiliates, Third Party Contractors or Service Provider Representatives. Service Provider shall obtain the prior written consent of Service Recipient, which consent shall not be unreasonably, withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be provided as soon as reasonably practicable, before engaging any Third Party Contractor to provide Services, provided, however, that Service Provider shall not be required to obtain the prior written consent of Service Recipient if the use of such Third Party Contractor is consistent with past practices. Each Party shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to transition the provision of Services from Service Provider to Service Recipient as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the end of the Term. It is the Parties’ shared objective to transition responsibility for the performance of Services from Service Provider to Service Recipient in a manner that minimizes, to the extent reasonably possible, disruption to (i) the continuing operations of Service Provider and Service Recipient and their respective relevant Affiliates, and (ii) the operation, use and maintenance of the Purchased Assets and the Facilities. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Service Provider shall have no obligation to perform any Services following the Term of this Agreement.

2.2. Schedules and Precedence. This Agreement shall govern the provision of Services described in the Transition Service Schedule attached as Exhibit A hereto and made a part of this Agreement, as the same may be subsequently amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties pursuant to Section 2.6 (the “Transition Service Schedule”). Except with respect to any limitations on the Services set forth in this Agreement and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9 and 5.2, if there is any inconsistency between the terms of the Transition Service Schedule and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Transition Service Schedule shall govern.

2.3. Information. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, the Transition Service Schedule and any amendments thereto shall set forth, at a minimum, the following information for each listed Service:

(a) a description of the vendor of the Service to be provided;

(b) the time period during which the Service will be provided;

(d) any other terms uniquely applicable to such Service.

EXHIBIT B

2.4. Nature of Services. Service Provider shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, Service Provider Representatives and Third Party Contractors to, perform the Services in good faith and in the manner, quality and at the level of service substantially consistent with the manner, quality and level of service that such Services were performed internally by Service Provider or by any of its Affiliates, Service Provider Representatives or Third Party Contractors, as applicable, with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Facilities immediately prior to the Effective Date, subject to any limitations or restrictions posed by or resulting from (a) changes in the nature, scope and performance levels of such Service necessitated by the sale of the Purchased Assets from Service Provider to Service Recipient or the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (b) any modification in process for providing Services necessitated by the extraction of the Purchased Assets from Service Provider’s continuing operations, (c) any change in scope (as agreed in writing by the Parties from time-to-time during the Term of this Agreement), (d) any restrictions imposed on Service Provider by any applicable Legal Requirement, and (e) any contractual obligations owed by Service Provider to any Third Party. For the avoidance of doubt, in providing the Services, Service Provider may use any information systems, hardware, software, processes and procedures it deems necessary or desirable in its reasonable discretion.

2.4.1. To the extent Service Provider or any of its Affiliates, Service Provider Representatives or Third Party Contractors commits an error with respect to, incorrectly performs or fails to provide a Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, at Service Recipient’s request, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies, Service Provider shall, or shall cause its Affiliates, Service Provider Representatives or Third Party Contractors to, correct such error, re-perform such Service or perform such Service, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in Service Recipient’s reasonable judgment, such error, incorrect performance or non-performance cannot be corrected during the Service period provided in the Transition Service Schedule in respect of the such Service using commercially reasonable efforts, then Service Recipient may seek specific performance pursuant to Section 12.9 and such specific performance shall be Service Recipient’s sole and exclusive remedy for any such error, incorrect performance or failure to provide such Service.

2.4.2. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET OUT IN SECTION 2.4, ALL SERVICES PERFORMED BY SERVICE PROVIDER HEREUNDER ARE PERFORMED, PROVIDED, AND MADE AVAILABLE ON AN “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS. SERVICE PROVIDER DOES NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NONINFRINGEMENT AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE.

2.5. Service Limitations.

2.5.1. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement to the contrary:

(a) Except as provided in the Transition Service Schedule, Service Provider shall have no obligation to provide Service Recipient with access to or use of any Service Provider information technology systems, information technology, platforms, networks, applications, software, databases or computer hardware;

(b) Service Provider shall have no obligation to provide Service Recipient with any Excluded Services and Service Provider shall not be obligated to provide and shall not be deemed to be providing any advisory services (including legal, financial, accounting, insurance, regulatory or tax advice) to Service Recipient or any of its Representatives as part of or in connection with the Services or otherwise;

(c) Service Provider shall have no obligation (pursuant to this Agreement, as part of or in connection with the Services, or otherwise) to prepare or deliver any notification or report to any Governmental Authority or other Person on behalf of Service Recipient or any of its Representatives in connection with the Services provided under this Agreement;

EXHIBIT B

(d) Subject to compliance with Section 2.7, Service Provider will only provide Services to the extent consistent with Service Provider’s applicable operating conditions, permits, licenses and business practices as in effect immediately preceding the Effective Date provided, however, that any changes or modifications to the foregoing as a result of any change in applicable Legal Requirements shall be considered a modification pursuant to Section 2.7;

(e) in no event shall Service Provider or its Affiliates have any obligation to favor Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates’ over Service Provider’s own business operations or those of its Affiliates; and

(f) Service Recipient acknowledges that the timely completion of a Service by Service Provider may depend upon the provision of information, products or services by Service Recipient and upon timely decision-making by Service Recipient; in that connection, Service Provider shall not be responsible for the failure to provide such Service in a timely manner to the extent that Service Recipient’s failure to provide such information, products, services or decisions to the Service Provider in a timely manner results in a failure by Service Provider or any of its Affiliates or Third Party Contractors to provide such Service in a timely manner.

2.5.2. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, Service Provider shall not be required to:

(a) perform any Service in any manner that violates or contravenes any restrictions imposed on Service Provider by any applicable Legal Requirement;

(b) perform any Service in any manner that breaches or contravenes any contractual obligations owed by Service Provider to any Third Party;

(d) maintain the employment of any one or more specific employees;

(e) purchase, lease or license any additional equipment, software (including additional seats or instances under existing software license agreements) or other resources; or

(f) bear or pay any costs related to the transfer or conversion of the Service Recipient’s data to the Service Recipient, any Service Recipient Representative or any alternate supplier of Services.

2.5.3. Service Provider shall have the right to shut down temporarily for maintenance or similar purposes the operation of any facilities or systems providing any Service whenever in Service Provider’s reasonable judgment such action is necessary or advisable for general maintenance or emergency purposes; provided, however, that Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule non-emergency maintenance impacting the Services so as not to materially disrupt the operations of Service Recipient and the operation, use and maintenance of the Purchased Assets and the Facilities. Service Provider will give Service Recipient advance written notice of any planned shutdown at least [***] in advance of such planned shutdown, and will give Service Recipient advance written notice of any emergency shutdown as promptly as reasonably practicable in light of the existing circumstances. With respect to the Services dependent on the operation of such facilities or systems, Service Provider shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to provide such Services during the period that such facilities or systems are shut down. Service Recipient acknowledges that certain Services may be subject to network or other delays outside of Service Provider’s direct control and that the Services may be affected by such network or other delays in the same manner.

2.5.4. Service Provider will be excused from performing any Service under this Agreement to the extent that, and for so long as, it is prevented from performing such Service as a result of Service Recipient’s or any of its Representative’s failure to comply with Service Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement (including Service Recipient’s obligations set forth in Section 5).

EXHIBIT B

2.6. Additional Services. During the Term, the Parties may identify additional services, or modifications to increase current Services, that are not described in the Transition Service Schedule (collectively, the “Additional Services”). Service Provider shall cooperate in good faith to any reasonable request by Service Recipient for Additional Services, provided, however, that Service Provider shall be under no obligation to agree to perform the Additional Services. Upon mutual agreement by the Parties with respect to the price, terms and conditions for the provision of a given Additional Service, the Parties shall execute a written amendment to the then-current Transition Service Schedule to reflect such Additional Service and associated price, terms and conditions. Neither Party shall have any obligation to execute any amendment to the initial or any subsequent version of Transition Service Schedule or to perform any Additional Services unless the Parties have agreed in writing to an amendment to the then-current Transition Service Schedule to reflect such Additional Service and associated price, terms and conditions.

2.7. Modifications. Service Provider may modify the nature of or manner of performing a Service to the extent the same modification is made with respect to Service Provider’s provision of such Service to itself or its Affiliates so long as (a) such modifications would not result in Service Recipient generally being treated any less favorably than Service Provider or its Affiliates receiving such Service, (b) such modifications would not adversely affect Service Recipient’s ability to receive the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (c) Service Provider notifies Service Recipient in writing of such modification as promptly as practicable and no later than [***] prior to the date it intends to modify the Service. Upon receipt of such written notice, Service Recipient’s responsibility under this Agreement shall be deemed amended as reasonably necessary to conform to any modifications or changes made pursuant to this Section 2.7 and Service Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such amendments. Any change in the scope or duration of any Service described in or other amendment to the Transition Service Schedule must be in writing and signed by the Parties.

2.8. Use of Services. Service Provider shall not be required to provide the Services to any Person other than Service Recipient and its Affiliates, and shall not be required to provide Services in connection with anything other than the Service Recipient’s or any of its Affiliates’ operation, use and maintenance of the Purchased Assets and the Facilities after the Effective Date. Service Recipient shall not, and shall not permit its or any of its Affiliates’ employees, agents or representatives to, resell any Services to any Third Party or permit the use of any Services by any Third Party. Service Recipient shall remain responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any Affiliate of Service Recipient to whom Service Provider provides Services under this Agreement.

2.9. Third Party Consents. Service Provider promptly will provide written notice to Service Recipient to the extent any contractual obligation to a Third Party will materially impact the provision of Services hereunder. If (a) Service Provider’s provision of any Service requires any license or services provided by a Third Party, (b) such Service is included in the then-current Transition Service Schedule, and (c) Service Provider’s contract with the applicable Third Party for such Service does not permit such Third Party license or service to be provided by or passed through Service Provider (as a non-Affiliate service provider) to Service Recipient, then Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure promptly the consent of such Third Party to provide Service Recipient with access to such Third Party license or service in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided, however, that in no event shall Service Provider have any obligation to make any payment or expend any funds, assume any liability, or offer or grant any accommodation or concession (financial or otherwise) to secure such consent, unless Service Recipient promptly reimburses Service Provider in full for such fee, payment or out-of-pocket expense. If Service Provider is unable to secure the consent of the applicable Third Party vendor using its commercially reasonable efforts within [***] after the Effective Date, then, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, at Service Recipient’s request, Service Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure a replacement license or service from another Third Party Contractor as soon as reasonably possible at Service Recipient’s expense, subject to Service Recipient’s prior written consent, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

3. TERM AND TERMINATION.

3.1. Term. Except as may otherwise be provided in the Transition Service Schedule in respect of a specific Service or unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate on the earlier of (a) June 29, 2020 or (b) completion of all Services to be provided by Service Provider under this Agreement (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated under this Section 3. The Service Provider shall not be obligated to perform any of the Services after the Initial Term; provided, however, that the Parties may negotiate in good faith to extend this Agreement past the Initial Term, either in whole or with respect to one or more of the Services, by mutual written agreement of the Parties, consent to which extension shall be in each Party’s absolute discretion. The Services so performed by Service Provider or any of its Affiliates or Third Party Contractors after the Initial Term shall continue to constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement for the duration of the agreed-upon extension period (the “Renewal Term”, together with the Initial Term, the “Term”); and provided, further, that any Service which is subject to the Renewal Term shall be provided by or on behalf of Service Provider to the Service Recipient during the Renewal Term at a price to be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties. Neither Party shall have any obligation to execute any extension to this Agreement.

3.2. Termination.

3.2.1. This Agreement may be terminated, either with respect to all or any portion of any one or more of the Services provided to Service Recipient hereunder, by mutual written consent of the Parties, unless the Transition Service Schedule specifically provides otherwise. Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that (a) Services provided by Third Parties may be subject to term-limited licenses and contracts between Service Provider and applicable Third Parties (collectively, “Provider Third Party Contracts”), (b) the renewal periods under the Provider Third Party Contracts may be for fixed periods, (c) Service Provider may not have the right to renew certain Provider Third Party Contracts and (d) the Provider Third Party Contracts may provide for Termination Charges in the event of an early termination of such Provider Third Party Contract. As a result, Service Recipient agrees that (i) if Service Provider is required to extend any Provider Third Party Contract in order to continue to provide any Service during the Term, then Service Provider shall notify Service Recipient in writing of such requirement at least [***] in advance of the date on which Service Provider is required to deliver notice of renewal (or non-renewal) under the applicable Provider Third Party Contract and, if Service Recipient informs Service Provider within [***] of its receipt of such notice that it wishes to continue to receive such Service, then Service Recipient shall be required to pay Service Provider the amount of any renewal fees or purchase commitments applicable to the relevant Service for the full renewal period specified in the applicable Provider Third Party Contract, regardless of whether the Term or Service Provider’s provision of the relevant Service ends prior to the end of the relevant renewal period, (ii) Service Provider will not be required to provide any Service to the extent it is unable to renew any applicable Provider Third Party Contract or Service Recipient either informs Service Provider that it does not wish to continue to receive such Service or does not respond to Service Provider’s notice in the applicable ten-Business Day period and (iii) if Service Provider is required to terminate any Provider Third Party Contract earlier than the natural expiration or termination of such agreement solely as a result of an early termination of a Service under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.2.1, then Service Provider shall provide Service Recipient with a written estimate, based on the parties’ reasonable inquiry, of any and all Termination Charges that would become due and payable by Service Recipient in connection with such termination at least [***] in advance of the date on which Service Provider intends to deliver notice of termination under the applicable Provider Third Party Contract, and (x) if Service Recipient informs Service Provider within [***] of its receipt of such notice that it wishes to proceed with the termination of the applicable Service, then Service Recipient shall be required to pay any Termination Charges resulting from such early termination; provided, however, that Service Provider shall reasonably cooperate with Service Recipient to negotiate the waiver by the applicable Third Party Contractor of any requirement to pay all such Termination Charges under the applicable Provider Third Party Contract, and (y) if Service Recipient informs Service Provider within such [***] period that it does not wish to proceed with the termination of the applicable Service, then Service Provider will not terminate the applicable Provider Third Party Contract and Service Provider and Service Recipient’s respective obligations with respect to such Service shall continue in accordance with this Agreement.

3.2.2. Subject to the provisions of Section 11 below, either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to affected Services if the other Party commits a material breach of this Agreement (other than in the case of a payment breach) and fails to cure such breach within [***] after receiving written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party. Subject to the provisions of Section 11 below, in the case of a payment breach, Service Provider may terminate this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to affected Services if Service Recipient breaches a payment obligation under this Agreement and fails to make such payment within [***] after receiving written notice of such breach from Service Provider. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any breach by any of their respective Representatives of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a breach by such Party of such term or condition.

3.2.3. Any provision which by its nature should survive, including but not limited to, the provisions of this Section 3.2.2 (Termination), Section 4 (Payment Terms and Tax Matters), Section 9 (Confidentiality), Section 10 (Indemnification), Section 10.5 (Limitation of Liability; Disclaimer of Consequential Damages), Section 11 (Force Majeure), and Section 12 (Miscellaneous), shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

3.2.4. Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately in the event the other Party (a) becomes insolvent, (b) is generally unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts as they become due, (c) files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency law, (d) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (e) applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver or custodian for a substantial part of its property or business.

4. PAYMENT TERMS AND TAX MATTERS.

4.1. Charges for Services. Service Recipient shall pay Service Provider the fees calculated consistent with the methodology set forth on the Transition Service Schedule for each Service listed therein as adjusted, from time to time, in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof (each, a “Service Fee” and collectively the “Service Fees”).

4.2. Expenses. Without limiting Service Provider’s payment obligations with respect to service charges under Section 4.1 or Provider Third Party Contracts pursuant to Section 3.2.1, Service Recipient shall, for each Service performed, reimburse Service Provider for any reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses payable to any one or more Third Parties which are actually incurred or paid by Service Provider or its Representatives in connection with the Service Provider’s provision of the Services (“Expenses”). Without limiting the foregoing, Expenses shall include (a) expenses payable to Third Parties for tailoring, expanding or otherwise modifying any service, provided with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Facilities prior to the Effective Date in any manner required to provide such Service to Service Recipient in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement following the Closing Date, (b) Third Party fees, costs or expenses payable by Service Provider or any of its Representatives to any Third Party(ies) for the licensing, provisioning, implementation, maintenance or operation of separate environments, separate instances of existing environments or “clean” environments necessary to provide the Services to Service Recipient, (c) subject to compliance with Section 3.2.1, any fees payable to any Third Party(ies) that are associated with extending, expanding or maintaining Third Party licenses or other contracts necessary to provide the Services to Service Recipient, (d) Third Party fees, costs or expenses payable by Service Provider or any of its Representatives to any Third Party(ies) for any expedited or off hour service requests made by Service Recipient and (e) any and all Termination Charges.

4.3. Payment Terms.

4.3.1. Service Provider shall invoice Service Recipient monthly for all Service Fees and Expenses pursuant to this Agreement. Such invoices shall contain reasonable detail of each Service provided and the calculation of the Service Fee therefor, including a itemized breakdown in reasonable detail of all Expenses set forth on such invoices. Service Recipient, including all applicable Service Recipient Affiliates, shall pay Service Provider for all undisputed amounts due for Services provided hereunder within [***] from receipt of an invoice satisfying the requirements of this Section 4.3.1 therefor.

B-9

EXHIBIT B

4.3.2. Late payments shall bear interest at the lesser of [***] per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law. Failure to pay undisputed amounts due hereunder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is agreed by the Parties to be a material breach of this Agreement and Service Provider shall have the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 3.2 hereof (subject to the notice and cure provisions contained in Section 3.2). In addition to Service Provider’s rights under Section 3.2.2, if payment in full of any Fees is not received by Service Provider by the applicable payment due date, Service Provider shall have the right to suspend all or any portion of the Services until such time as Service Recipient has paid in full all amounts then overdue, including any accrued interest.

4.3.3. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Services are provided to one or more Service Recipient Affiliates under this Agreement, invoices for such Services shall be delivered directly to such Service Recipient Affiliates, in which case payment shall be made directly by such Service Recipient Affiliates, provided that Service Recipient shall remain responsible for all amounts invoiced to and payments made by its Affiliates.

4.4. Disputes.

4.4.1. Except as the Parties may expressly agree in writing, amounts due hereunder shall not be offset by amounts due under any other agreement. Further, the Parties agree that disputes related to any other agreement shall not serve as grounds to delay payment obligations under this Agreement or to cease to provide any Service on the terms and condition set forth in this Agreement.

4.4.2. Should Service Recipient reasonably and in good faith contest any invoice (or any part thereof) or should any Party have any other dispute under this Agreement, the disputing Party shall notify the other Party in writing of such dispute and provide the other Party with a detailed description of the basis for such dispute. Promptly upon the Party’s receipt of notice of such dispute, the SPBRM and SRBRM shall meet and attempt to resolve such dispute. If the SPBRM and SRBRM are unable to resolve such dispute within [***] following their initial meeting, then the SPBRM and SRBRM shall give written notice of such dispute to the Senior Officers. “Senior Officers” means [***], in the case of Service Provider, and [***] in the case of Service Recipient; provided, however, that, each Senior Officer shall be entitled to nominate a sufficiently senior functional leader in his or her place when appropriate. Promptly upon receiving notice of the dispute, the Senior Officers shall meet and attempt to resolve such dispute. If the Senior Officers are unable to resolve such dispute within [***] following their initial meeting, then such dispute will be escalated and resolved in accordance with Section 12.7.

4.5. Taxes. All amounts to be paid under this Agreement are exclusive of any Taxes, including sales, use, VAT, consumption, excise, withholding or similar taxes (other than Taxes based on Service Provider’s net income) that may apply to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Service Recipient shall be responsible for paying all such Taxes. Service Provider may collect such Taxes from Service Recipient as required by Legal Requirements. If any payments under this Agreement are subject to withholding or deduction, the applicable party (the “Withholding Agent”) shall be entitled to withhold or deduct such amounts as required by any applicable Legal Requirement provided that prior to such withholding or deduction, the Withholding Agent shall give written notice of its intention to withhold or deduct and allow the other party sufficient time to furnish any required documentation and forms to minimize or eliminate such withholding or deduction. The Withholding Agent shall pay all such withheld or deducted amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority, and shall provide the other party, in a timely manner, with documentation evidencing payment to the applicable Governmental Authority of any amounts so withheld and in the form and manner required by Legal Requirements to allow the other party to recover the amount withheld to the extent allowable by Legal Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.5 shall apply to Affiliates of Service Provider and Service Recipient as if such Affiliate were Service Provider or Service Recipient, as applicable.

4.6. Books and Records. During the Term, Service Provider shall keep such books, records and accounts as are reasonably necessary to verify the calculation of the fees and related expense for Services provided hereunder. Service Provider shall provide or make available documentation supporting any amounts invoiced pursuant to Section 4 as Service Recipient may from time to time reasonably request. Service Recipient shall have the right, at Service Recipient’s sole cost and expense, to review such books, records and accounts during normal business hours from time to time upon reasonable advanced written notice to Service Provider, provided that such access shall be (i) in a manner that does not interfere with the business activities of Service Provider and (ii) subject to reasonable security procedures and limitations of Service Provider.

Service Provider shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Third Party Contractors (and their respective personnel), to, when at the Facilities, or when given access to any computers, information technology or phone systems located at the Facilities, conform to the written instructions, policies and procedures of Service Recipient concerning health, safety, conduct and security which are provided to Service Provider in advance from time to time, and Service Recipient shall have the right to remove any such persons from any Facility or deny access by any such person to any computers, information technology or phone systems located at the Facilities for failure to comply with this Agreement or any such instructions, policies or procedures. .

5.1.7. Service Provider shall comply, and shall cause its Representatives and Third Party Contractors to comply, with all applicable Legal Requirements in connection with their respective operations and obligations under this Agreement, including, the delivery and performance of the Services.

5.2.4.

5.2.7. Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that certain of the Services to be provided hereunder were previously performed for Service Provider or its Affiliates by individuals who may no longer be employed by Service Provider or its Affiliates as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and that the provision of the Services to Service Recipient may require Service Provider’s reasonable access to, or support from, Service Recipient’s relevant employees.

(b) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of an or failure to act by the receiving Party or its Representatives;

(c) becomes available to the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the disclosing Party or its Representatives; or

(d) is independently developed by or for the receiving Party without any breach of the provisions of this Section 9;

provided, in the case of clause (a) or (c), that the source of such information is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the disclosing Party or otherwise prohibited from disclosing the information to the receiving Party by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation. Any combination of features or disclosures shall not be deemed to fall within the foregoing exclusions ((a) through (d)) merely because individual features are published or available to the general public or in the rightful possession of the receiving Party unless the combination itself and principle of operation are published or available to the general public or are in the rightful possession of the receiving Party.

9.2. The receiving Party may make disclosures required to comply with applicable laws or regulations or with a court or administrative order, provided to the extent legally permitted and practicable the party required to respond to such requirement gives the disclosing Party prompt prior written notice of such requirement.

The receiving Party will limit the disclosure to the fullest extent permitted.

9.3. Each Party hereby acknowledges that the Confidential Information of the other Party may still be under development, or may be incomplete, and that such information may relate to products that are under development or are planned for development. NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE ACCURACY OF THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IT DISCLOSES TO THE OTHER PARTY. Neither Party shall have responsibility for any expenses, losses or actions incurred or undertaken by the other Party as a result of the other Party’s receipt or use of Confidential Information. It is understood that the Service Recipient is in the business of conducting preclinical research, development and testing, and GMP and non-GMP manufacturing and laboratory services for Third Parties.

9.4. It is understood and agreed that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 9, and that the disclosing Party may be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Section 9, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.

9.5. The obligations in this Section 9 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for [***] after the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement. The receiving Party shall destroy or return to the disclosing Party all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information after the receiving Party’s need for it has expired, upon request of the disclosing Party, or upon completion or termination of this Agreement; provided that the receiving Party may retain one copy of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in its legal files in order to monitor its continuing obligations hereunder and to comply with Legal Requirements.

10. INDEMNIFICATION.

10.1. Service Recipient shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Service Provider and its officers, directors, agents, employees and Affiliates, from and against any and all Damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by any of the foregoing and arising out of, relating to or resulting from (i) Service Recipient’s or any of its Representatives’ gross negligence or willful misconduct related to this Agreement, (ii) Service Provider’s or any of its Representative’s good faith and reasonable execution of an instruction of an authorized representative of Service Recipient regarding the performance of a Service under this Agreement, (iii) Service Recipient’s or any of its Affiliates’ breach of a payment obligation under this Agreement, or (iv) Third Party property damage or personal injury to a Third Party caused by Service Recipient or its Representatives relating to this Agreement, except to the extent arising from a claim for which Service Provider has an indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 10.2.

10.2. Service Provider shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Service Recipient and its officers, directors, agents, employees and Affiliates from and against any and all Losses incurred by any of the foregoing and arising out of, relating to or resulting from (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct by Service Provider or any of its Representatives or Third Party Contractors related to this Agreement, (ii) Third Party property damage or personal injury to a Third Party caused by Service Provider or its Representatives or any Third Party Contractor relating to this Agreement, except to the extent arising from a claim for which Service Recipient has an indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 10.1 or (iii) except to the extent caused by Service Recipient’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, any liability for injury to Service Provider’s personnel or any of its Affiliates’ or Third Party Contractors’ personnel resulting from, or relating to, the presence of any such personnel at the Facility.

10.3. Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to indemnification under Sections 10.1 or 10.2 or any other provision of this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) of written notice of the assertion or the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to any matter referred to in Sections 10.1 or 10.2 or in any other applicable provision of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give written notice describing such claim or Proceeding in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to the Indemnitee to the party obligated to indemnify Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”), and thereafter shall keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed with respect thereto; provided, however, that failure of the Indemnitee to keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed as provided in this Section 10.3 shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby. If any Proceeding shall be commenced against any Indemnitee by a third party, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, at the Indemnitor’s sole expense; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume the defense of any such Proceeding if (i) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, counsel for the Indemnitor could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnitee because such interests would reasonably be expected to be in conflict with those of the Indemnitor, (ii) such Proceeding seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee except where such equitable relief is immaterial incidental to claims for monetary damages, (iii) the Indemnitor has failed or is failing, in the reasonable good faith opinion of the Indemnitee, based on proffered evidence, to prosecute or defend such Proceeding diligently and in good faith, or (iv) in any case where Service Recipient any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates is the Indemnitee, the amount of Losses or potential Losses arising out of such Proceeding, as determined by the Indemnitee in good faith is reasonably expected to exceed the limitations of liability set forth in Section 10.5. If the Indemnitor shall assume the defense of any such Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in any Proceeding at its expense. Unless approved in writing by the Indemnitee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Indemnitor shall not settle, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any such Proceeding unless such settlement or judgment (w) does not include any monetary damages payable by the Indemnitee, (x) does not admit to any Liability on the part of the Indemnitee, (y) does not include any restriction on the operations of the Indemnitee, and (z) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee, in customary form, from all Liability with respect to the matters that are subject to such Proceeding.

10.4. Each party shall take reasonable steps to mitigate all Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses with respect to which indemnification may be requested hereunder (including making claims under any applicable insurance policies), provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit the ability of an Indemnitee to incur reasonable costs in connection therewith.

10.5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE, COST OF COVER, DIMUNITION IN VALUE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, MULTIPLE, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF, OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, AND DAMAGES HEREUNDER SHALL NOT INCLUDE SUCH LOSSES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT, IF ANY, ONE OF THE PARTIES HERETO IS HELD LIABLE FOR SUCH LOSSES TO A THIRD PARTY AND SUCH PARTY IS ENTITLED TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER SECTION 10. SERVICE RECIPIENT’S LIABILITY FOR LOSSES HEREUNDER SHALL NOT EXCEED [***]. SERVICE PROVIDER’S LIABILITY FOR LOSSES HEREUNDER SHALL NOT EXCEED [***].

10.6. Third-Party Contributors. The amount of any and all Losses for which indemnification is provided pursuant to this Section 10 shall be net of any amounts actually received by the Indemnitee with respect to such Losses (i) under insurance policies after giving effect to any deductible, retention or equivalent loss rated premium adjustment and any costs or expenses incurred in recovering such insurance proceeds and (ii) otherwise from any third party.

10.7. Exclusive Remedy. Other than for fraud or as set forth in Section 12.9 and Section 2.4.1, Service Provider and Service Recipient agree that from and after the Closing the provisions of this Article 10 shall be the exclusive remedy for all claims of breach or indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.

11. FORCE MAJEURE.

11.1. Each Party will be excused for any failure or delay in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligations of Service Recipient to make payments to Service Provider for Services rendered, if such failure or delay is caused by any event or condition beyond the reasonable control of the impacted Party (each, a “Force Majeure Condition”), including acts of God, voluntary or involuntary compliance with any applicable Legal Requirement, war, act of terror, civil commotion, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of facilities, systems or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe.

Any Party may waive compliance by any other Party with any of the covenants or conditions of this Agreement, but no waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Party making the waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Any consent under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

12.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided, however, that no Party hereto may assign any right or obligation hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto; provided, further, (i) without the prior written consent of Service Provider, Service Recipient may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates organized under and located in the United States, (ii) without the prior written consent of Service Recipient, Service Provider may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to a wholly owned subsidiary of Service Provider (so long as such subsidiary remains a wholly owned subsidiary of Service Provider), and (iii) without consent of the other Party, either Party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a bona fide Third Party that acquires all or substantially all of such Party’s business or assets (whether by merger, combination or consolidation of any type, operation of law, asset purchase or otherwise) so long as (x) the assigning Party provides written notice to the non-assigning party at least [***] in advance of such assignment, and (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity assumes all the obligations of the assigning Party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the non-assigning Party, and (iv) Service Provider retains the right to subcontract performance of its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.1.

12.9. Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that damages for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate and irreparable harm would occur. In recognition of this fact, each Party agrees that, if there is a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any damages, the non-breaching Party, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to seek and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance which may then be available to obligate the breaching Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, to the extent Service Provider is the breaching party as a result of any action or inaction by Service Provider Representative or any Third Party Contractor, the specific performance to which Service Recipient shall be entitled is solely limited to the exercise of Service Provider’s obligation, at Service Recipient’s sole cost and expense, to enforce any Contract by and between the Service Provider, on the one hand, and the Service Provider Representative or Third Party Contractor, on the other hand, in accordance with Service Recipient’s reasonable direction in order to obtain for Service Recipient the benefit of such agreement.

Paragon or Client, pursuant to instructions given by Paragon as described above, shall dispose of any Non-Conforming Product in accordance with Applicable Laws relevant to such disposal, at Paragon’s cost if Paragon was liable for the nonconformity in accordance with Section 9.3 and at Client’s cost if Paragon was not liable for the nonconformity in accordance with Section 9.2, unless Client notifies Paragon in writing that it wishes to retain Non-Conforming Product for evaluation of Process Development efforts. The Client agrees that at no time shall a Non-Conforming Product be used in pre-clinical GLP studies or clinical studies. [***]. If the Parties cannot agree on the payment amount within [***], the Non-Conforming Product shall be destroyed as provided above.

9.5 Dispute Resolution. The Parties shall endeavor to resolve any dispute between them under this Article 9, but if the Parties are unable to resolve a dispute, despite their good faith efforts, either Party may refer the dispute to the Chief Executive Officer (or other designee) of each Party. In the event that no agreement is reached by the Chief Executive Officers (or other designees) with respect to such dispute within [***] after its referral to them, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, refer the dispute to an independent Third Party testing laboratory mutually agreed by the Parties, who shall execute a confidentiality agreement in a reasonable and customary form approved in advance in writing by the Parties. The laboratory shall be asked to determine the existence of or source of nonconformity with respect to a Production Batch supplied under this Section, with respect to the specific non-conformity asserted by Client. Paragon shall promptly submit to such laboratory one or more retained samples of Product from the same Batch as such suspected Non-Conforming Product, and Client shall promptly submit to such laboratory one or more samples of Product from the same Batch as such suspected Non-Conforming Product together with a complete copy of the relevant Product Specifications, Storage Guidelines and Shipping Guidelines (and any other relevant documentation) and the warranty in Section 11.2.1. The testing laboratory shall test the samples and determine whether the Product is Conforming Product or Non-Conforming Product with respect to the specific alleged non-conformity. Pending the determination of the testing laboratory, the Parties shall continue to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement. The testing laboratory decision shall be rendered in writing explaining the reasons for such decision promptly following submission of the Product samples to the testing laboratory, and absent manifest error shall be binding and not be appealable to any court in any jurisdiction. The Parties agree that initially [***] the cost of the testing laboratory (if advance payment is required), subject to reimbursement pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9.2 or 9.3 following conclusion of the investigation.

9.6 Development/Initial Batches. Each batch of Product manufactured under this Agreement will be considered to be a “Development Batch” until manufacturing, testing and storage methods and processes have been validated in accordance with industry standards (including production of at least 3 consecutive batches of Product that meet the applicable Specifications). The term Development Batch shall include any batch manufactured following (A) a change in Specifications, or (B) a scale-up in the manufacturing process to produce greater quantities of Product, until Paragon has manufactured 3 consecutive batches of Product meeting the new Specifications. Client shall be responsible for the cost of each Development Batch, even if such batch fails to meet the Specifications, unless such failure is due to Paragon’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the manufacture of the Non-Conforming Product. Paragon and Client shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any problems causing the Non-Conforming Product.

(a) Definition. As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” includes all information furnished by or on behalf of Paragon or Client, its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Discloser”), to the other Party, its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Recipient”), whether furnished before, on or after the Effective Date and furnished in any form, including written, verbal, visual, electronic or in any other media or manner and information acquired by observation or otherwise during any site visit at the other Party’s facility. Confidential Information includes all proprietary technologies, know-how, trade secrets, discoveries, inventions and any other non-public Intellectual Property (whether or not patented), analyses, compilations, business or technical information and other materials prepared by either Party, their respective Affiliates, or any of its or their respective Representatives, containing or based in whole or in part on any information furnished by the Discloser. Confidential Information also includes the existence and terms of this Agreement and any SOW.

(b) During the term of this Agreement and for [***] thereafter, each Party agrees to keep Confidential Information received hereunder confidential with respect to any third party, to not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party, to use such Confidential Information solely with respect to the exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations under this Agreement and not for any other purpose, and to protect such Confidential Information against unauthorized disclosure using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, as it uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to its Representatives who have a need to know for the purposes of this Agreement and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those set forth herein. The obligations of this Agreement shall not apply to information:

(i) shown by written or other tangible evidence to have been in the Recipient’s possession prior to the time of disclosure,

(ii) which is now or hereafter becomes available to the public through no fault on the part of the Recipient,

(iii) which is acquired in good faith from a third party understood to have the right to disclose such information,

(iv) for which prior written release to disclose is obtained from the Discloser, or

(v) which is developed by or on behalf of the Recipient without use or reliance on the Discloser’s Confidential Information, which can be demonstrated by written or other tangible evidence.

(c) Paragon is in the business of conducting preclinical testing, GMP and non-GMP manufacturing and other laboratory services for third parties. The terms of this Agreement shall not be construed to limit the right of Paragon to conduct such services for any third party so long as Client Confidential Information or Materials are not used in breach of this Agreement.

(d) Protection of Inadvertent Disclosures. Client agrees that in the event Client inadvertently becomes aware of any information related to other Paragon clients through the presence of Client’s employees, agents or advisors at Paragon offices or facilities, that such information will be kept strictly confidential in the same manner as Paragon Confidential Information, provided, however, that Client shall make no use of the information for any purpose whatsoever, either related to this Agreement or otherwise.

(e) Governmental Disclosure. Each Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party as required by Applicable Law or legal process, including to any Regulatory Authority legally requiring the disclosure of such Confidential Information, provided that: (i) such Confidential Information is submitted under applicable provisions, if any, for confidential treatment by such Regulatory Authority; (ii) prior to such disclosure, the Recipient shall provide the Discloser with timely prior written Notice of the disclosure requirement so that it may take whatever action it deems appropriate, including intervention in any proceeding and the seeking of an injunction to prohibit such disclosure at the Discloser’s risk and expense; (iii) the Recipient shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which it is legally required to submit and shall cooperate with the Discloser’s counsel to enable the Discloser to seek a protective order (or other appropriate relief) or reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded the Confidential Information; and (iv) the Recipient shall endeavor to protect the confidentiality of any Confidential Information to the extent reasonable under the circumstances and use its good faith efforts to prevent the further disclosure of any Confidential Information provided to any Regulatory Authority.

Intellectual Property Ownership.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below and payment of all amounts due to Paragon hereunder, (i) all data, results and original reports generated by Paragon specifically for Client in the conduct of the Services shall be the property of, and belong to, Client, and (ii) any discoveries, inventions, or improvements, whether or not patentable, made or conceived by Paragon specifically for Client in conducting the Services and which relate solely and specifically to Client Confidential Information and/or Materials shall be the property of, and belong to, Client. At Client’s sole cost and expense (at Paragon’s then standard hourly rates), Paragon shall execute and deliver to Client all papers, including, without limitation, applications for patents, that Client deems necessary in the exercise of its reasonable judgment to enable Client to publish or protect such discoveries, inventions, or improvements by patent or otherwise in all countries and to vest title to said patents, discoveries, inventions, or improvements in Client.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall have no rights in pre-existing Paragon Intellectual Property or in any discoveries, inventions, or improvements relating to or based on Paragon’s own Intellectual Property or relating generally to Paragon’s business of conducting laboratory testing, protein production or other laboratory or manufacturing services, or patent applications therefor, which shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Paragon. Client shall have no rights in any internal records or documents prepared by Paragon in connection with the Services, provided that Client shall be entitled to receive a copy of such records and documents as deliverables as may be provided in the applicable SOW.

(c) Client hereby represents and warrants that it owns all rights, titles and interests in and to, or otherwise has valid sublicensable license to use, the Materials and is duly authorized to transfer the Materials to Paragon under this Agreement.

(d) Client represents and warrants that no lawsuit or proceeding is pending and, to Client’s knowledge, no third party has asserted or threatened in writing any claim or lawsuit, against Client or any of its Affiliates claiming that the Materials infringe on any patent owned by a third party or misappropriate any trade secret owned by a third party.

(e) Paragon hereby represents, warrants and covenants that (i) the Services shall be provided in compliance with applicable Laws, (ii) it will timely pay all amounts owed to any of its Third Party contractors, subcontractors or suppliers related to the services provided under this Agreement, and (iii) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement do not breach, violate, contravene, or constitute a default under any contracts, arrangements, or commitments to which Paragon or its Affiliates is a party or by which it is bound, nor do the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by Paragon violate any order or Applicable Laws of any court or Regulatory Authority having authority over it.

Liability & Indemnity. Insurance.

(a) Each Party hereto (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the other Party and its Representatives (the “Indemnitees”) harmless from any loss, damage, expense, injury, penalty, fine, fee or charge (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) (“Losses”) incurred by the Indemnitees resulting from any suit, action, or proceeding brought by a third party (“Third-Party Claim”) to the extent arising from or in connection with the Indemnifying Party’s breach of this Agreement or its gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder, except to the extent arising out of the breach of this Agreement or gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee(s).

(b) Further, Client, as the Indemnifying Party, also agrees to hold the Paragon Indemnitees harmless from any Loss resulting from any Third-Party Claim arising from or in connection with (i) any claim that Paragon infringed or infringes the third party’s patent(s) or other Intellectual Property rights in connection with its use of Materials or Client Confidential Information in the performance of Services in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) the failure of Client to provide the information set forth in Section 2(b), and/or (iii) any use, manufacture, promotion, marketing, distribution or sale of, or use of or exposure to, the Materials, or any part, subpart, derivative or modification thereto, that are the subject of the Services, including product liability or strict liability, or any deliverable, data or other tangible or intangible results of the Services, by or on behalf of Client or any third party.

(c) An Indemnitee which intends to claim indemnification under Section 8(a) or (b) hereof shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any Third-Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification. The Indemnitee shall permit the Indemnifying Party, at its discretion, to settle any such Third-Party Claim and agrees to the complete control of such defense or settlement by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that in order for the Indemnifying Party to exercise such rights, such settlement shall not adversely affect the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement or impose any obligations on the Indemnitee in addition to those set forth herein. No such Third-Party Claim shall be settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Indemnitee shall not be responsible for any legal fees or other costs incurred other than as provided herein. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any Third-Party Claim covered by this indemnification, all at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be represented by counsel of its own selection and expense in connection with the foregoing.

(d) Use of any of the results of the Services, including but not limited to any product based thereon or any data or assays derived from the Services or results, in support of an IND or for any other submissions or purposes is done at the sole discretion and responsibility of Client.

10. Waiver. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same provision by that Party or the breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The delay or failure of a Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement will not constitute a waiver by that Party of any breach of this Agreement. Any waiver of any breach under this Agreement must be in writing.

11. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; and Venue. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A. without regard to any conflict of law principles. If a dispute arises between the Parties in connection with this Agreement, the respective senior executives of Paragon and Client shall first attempt to resolve the dispute. If such executives cannot resolve the dispute, such dispute shall be resolved in the English language, in New York, NY, by binding arbitration in accordance with the then existing commercial arbitration rules of The CPR Institute for Conflict and Dispute Resolution, New York, NY. The arbitrator(s) shall be and remain independent of the Parties. The arbitrator(s) shall not be able to award indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, except to the extent permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) nothing in this Section 11 shall preclude either Party from seeking interim or provisional relief, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other equitable relief concerning any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith, if necessary to protect the interests of such Party; and (b) any dispute arising hereunder with respect to the inventorship, validity, enforceability, or other aspect of intellectual property rights shall be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction in New York, NY, and not by arbitration hereunder. Nothing in this Section 11 is intended or shall be construed to limit either Party’s right to equitable relief or any other remedy for a breach of this Agreement.

12. Compliance with Laws. The Services under this Agreement shall be provided in compliance with applicable Laws.

13. Publicity. Paragon may list Client as a client of Paragon (provided that Paragon shall not disclose the specific terms of this Agreement or the work performed hereunder or any other Client Confidential Information). Other than as set forth above, the Parties agree that each shall obtain the other’s prior written approval before using the other’s name, logos and/or marks in any form of publicity. Such obligation shall not apply to disclosures which either Party is required by Applicable Laws to make, provided that the disclosing Party shall notify the other Party of any such disclosure prior to such disclosure.

14. Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement and for [***] thereafter, Paragon and Client each agree not to solicit for employment, directly or indirectly, any officer or employee of the other Party or its Affiliates, provided that: (a) this shall not preclude a Party from hiring any such officer or employee of the other Party who had been terminated prior to commencement of such employment discussions and (b) nothing herein shall restrict either Party from soliciting any such officer or employee by general employment advertising (so long as such advertising is not specifically targeted at the employees of the other Party) or third party employment agencies (so long as such agencies are not directed, either directly or indirectly, to target such employees).

15. Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither Party shall assign or transfer (including through merger, business reorganization, spin off or out, by operation of law or otherwise) this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided that without such consent either Party may assign or transfer this Agreement, including all rights and obligations hereunder, at any time to any of its Affiliates or to any person or entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assigning Party’s business or assets to which this Agreement relates, whether by means of asset sale, merger, business reorganization, equity issuance or otherwise. Any permitted assignment of this Agreement by either Party will be conditioned upon that Party’s permitted assignee agreeing in writing to comply with all the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Any purported assignment without a required consent shall be void. No assignment shall relieve any Party of responsibility for the performance of any obligation that accrued prior to the effective date of such assignment. Subject to this Section 15, this Agreement is binding upon and is for the benefit of the Parties, and their respective successors and assigns.

16. Independent Contractors. The Parties intend to act and perform as independent contractors and the provisions hereof are not intended to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between the Parties or between a Party and the Representatives of the other Party. Neither Party shall at any time enter into, incur, or hold itself out to third parties as having authority to enter into or incur, on behalf of the other Party, any commitment, expense, or liability whatsoever.

17. Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law without said provision. Instead of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added, as part of this Agreement, a provision as similar in terms to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and still be legal, valid and enforceable.

18. Force Majeure. If either Party is delayed or prevented from fulfilling its respective obligations under this Agreement by any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, an act of God, fire, flood, act of government or state, war, civil commotion, insurrection, acts of terrorism, embargo, sabotage, prevention from or hindrance in obtaining energy or other utilities, a shortage of raw materials, resins, consumables or other necessary components, or labor disputes of whatever nature, then that Party will not be liable under this Agreement for that delay or failure. If the cause continues unabated for [***].

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed (which includes execution by industry standard electronic signature software) in two or more counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but which together will constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile or .pdf signatures sent by email will be considered original signatures.

20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, which includes all SOWs, is the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties, and supersedes all prior written or oral agreements or understandings, with respect to the subject matter hereof, provided, however, that the Mutual Confidential Disclosure Agreement between the Parties, dated March 15, 2019, as amended on May 24, 2019, shall continue in full force and effect. No terms, conditions, or warranties, other than those written in this Agreement, and no amendments or modifications of this Agreement will be binding on the Parties unless in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both of the Parties.
