ASSET PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

THIS ASSET PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made this 30th day of June 2023 by and between Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, (“Purchaser”), and Honeywell International Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller” and together with the Purchaser, the “Parties” and each a “Party”).

WHEREAS, Seller is engaged in the worldwide manufacture, distribution and sale of Licensed Products as defined below, and the Parties wish to provide for the terms and conditions upon which Purchaser shall acquire the Purchased Assets and license the Licensed Products (as such terms are defined below) from Seller.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS; ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES

1.1.

Purchase, Sale and Assignment of Assets.

(a)        Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in exchange for payment by Purchaser to Seller of all the amounts set forth in Section 1.4 below and Purchaser’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities on the terms set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver, or cause to be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered, to Purchaser all of Seller’s and its Affiliates’ right, title and interest in and to only the following assets, but specifically excluding the Retained Assets (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”), as the same shall exist immediately prior to the Effective Date:

i.       all Contracts set forth on Schedule 1.1(a)(i) hereto (collectively, the “Assumed Contracts”), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.1(c) below;

ii.      all inventory set forth on Schedule 1.1(a)(ii) hereto (collectively, the “Inventory” or the “Honeywell Inventory”) primarily used in the Licensed Products;

iii.     all tooling, fixtures and test equipment set forth on Schedule 1.1(a)(iii) hereto (collectively, the “Equipment”); and

iv.     all customer related documents (including price listing, historical transaction reports, and customer contact lists) and supplier contact lists, in each case to the extent relating to the Licensed Products and to the extent in the actual or constructive possession of Seller or any of its Affiliates on the Effective Date as defined in Section 3.1 below.

(b)        The consummation of the transactions shall take place under this Agreement as more fully set forth in Article 3. Documents included in the Purchased Assets will be delivered either in paper form or in the electronic format currently utilized by Seller with respect to such documents after the Effective Date.

(c)        It is the intent of the Parties that all economic benefits and obligations under the Assumed Contracts, to the extent related to the Licensed Products, shall pass to Purchaser as of the Effective Date. Promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties will follow the process described in Schedule 1.1(c) (“Notification Process”) hereto for notifying the customers of the Assumed Contracts of the transaction described in this Agreement. With respect to any Assumed Contract that requires the consent of a third party before it may be assigned to Purchaser as contemplated by Section 1.1(a) above, (i) it shall be Purchaser’s obligation to obtain such consent, (ii) Purchaser and not Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain any required third-party consent, (iii) any amount required to be paid to a third party in connection with obtaining such consent shall be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and (iv) subject to clause (iii) above, Seller shall provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Seller in seeking any such consents.

(d)       Until a required third-party consent to assignment of an Assumed Contract has been obtained or until the parties have taken the action contemplated in Schedule 1.1(d), such Assumed Contract shall be deemed a “Retained Interest” of Seller, and the conveyance of the Retained Interest from Seller to Purchaser shall occur when the required third-party consent to assignment of the Assumed Contract has been obtained. The procedures set forth on Schedule 1.1(d) shall govern any Retained Interest

(e)       For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to each Assumed Contract that relates both to Licensed Products and non-Licensed products, such Assumed Contract will be assigned to Purchaser only with respect to the Licensed Products. In such case, the Parties will collaborate to determine the most effective means to bifurcate the Assumed Contract so that Purchaser obtains the benefits and obligations of the Assumed Contract with respect to the Licensed Products only, and Seller retains the benefits and obligations of the Assumed Contract with respect to all non-Licensed Products. The Parties will cooperate in developing a plan to approach the other party to the Assumed Contract to achieve such bifurcation. If such Assumed Contract includes flight-hour rate pricing for both Licensed Products and non-Licensed Products, the Parties will negotiate in good faith with each other and with the other party to such Assumed Contract to separate the pricing for Licensed Products and non-Licensed Products.

(f)       RESERVED

(g)       In the event that Seller needs to purchase parts from Purchaser that fall under the scope of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to provide fair and reasonable pricing to Seller in line with the pricing in effect at this time of this Agreement for similar parts and/or commensurate with pricing in already existing Seller contracts. Xxxxxxxxx further agrees that terms and conditions to govern such transactions will be negotiated in good faith.

1.2.         Retained Assets.

The “Retained Assets” shall consist of all of Seller’s and its Affiliates’ rights, title and interest in and to all assets of every kind and description other than specifically enumerated in the Purchased Assets, including but not limited to the following:

(a)       all cash on hand in Seller’s bank and lock box accounts, plus all marketable securities owned by Seller, and all of Seller’s accounts receivable and accounts payable;

(b)       all checkbooks, canceled checks and bank accounts;

(d)       all rights in and benefits arising from claims and litigation that relate to Retained Assets;

(e)       all rights of Seller and its Affiliates under this Agreement and Seller’s corporate charter or formation documents, minute and stock record books, and corporate seal and tax returns;

(f)        all insurance policies of Seller and rights thereunder;

(g)       any rights of Seller or its Affiliates to reimbursements, indemnification, hold-harmless or similar rights relating to the acquisition or use by Seller of the Purchased Assets and Licensed Products;

(h)       all Intellectual Property;

(i)         all Contracts other than the Assumed Contracts, including, subject to Section 1.1(d) hereto, the Contracts listed on Schedule 1.2(i) hereto (the “Retained Contracts”);

(j)        all refunds or credits for Taxes imposed on Seller for any Tax period, including refunds or credits for Taxes relating to the various portions of the Purchased Assets and Licensed Products for all Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Effective Date;

(k)       all assets of Seller that are not listed in Purchased Assets; and

(1)       the assets set forth in Schedule 1.2(1) hereto.

1.3.         Assumed Liabilities.

On the Effective Date, Purchaser shall assume and discharge and perform when due the following Liabilities of Seller (the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(a)       All Liabilities to the extent arising out of or relating to the ownership, design, use, possession, manufacturing, repair, sale or distribution of the Purchased Assets or Licensed Products whether arising before (only for Purchased Assets or Licensed Products within the Licensed Field) or after the Effective Date, including without limitation:

(i)       all Liabilities with respect to warranty or product recall claims to the extent relating to the Licensed Products; or

(ii)       Subject to Section 7.2(a)(iv), all Liabilities to the extent arising out of or relating to third party tort claims of product liability that are brought in respect of any Purchased Asset, Licensed Product or Build Ahead Inventory (as defined in Section 1.4 below); and

(iii)      all Liabilities to the extent arising under original equipment manufacturer product support agreements related to the Licensed Products;

(b)       All Liabilities to the extent arising under or related to the Assumed Contracts (including Assumed Contracts referenced in Section 1.1(e) and, open purchase orders placed by customers), to the extent related to the Licensed Products, whether arising before or after the Effective Date;

(c)       All Liabilities for allowances, credits or adjustments to which customers purchasing Licensed Products, whether arising before or after the Effective Date, may be entitled to the extent relating to the Licensed Products;

(d)       All Liabilities to the extent arising under or related to the Retained Interests, whether arising before or after the Effective Date; and

(e)       All Liabilities for open purchase orders placed by Seller with its suppliers as set forth in Schedule 1.3(e) hereto, to the extent related to the Licensed Products.

(f)       All Liabilities to the extent arising out of or relating to the fulfillment of Service Bulletins/Sales Bulletins, as set forth in Schedule 1.3(f) hereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assumed Liabilities shall not include any Liabilities subject to an indemnity by Seller pursuant to Section 7.2(a).

1.4.         Purchase Price.

(a)       The aggregate price to be paid for the Purchased Assets acquired by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement at the Effective Date and the licenses granted to Purchaser pursuant to Article 2 shall be thirty six million US Dollars (US$36,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price will be subject to the inventory adjustment with respect to each Product Line, as set forth in Section 1.5 below. Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4(b), 1.4(c) and 1.5 below.

(b)       Build Ahead Inventory. There will be an additional set of subassemblies and detail subcomponents being purchased by Seller during the Transition Period, as listed in Schedule 1.4(b), that will aid Purchaser in establishing repair and/or production capabilities (the “Build Ahead Inventory”). Seller will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to fulfill the Build Ahead Inventory listed in Schedule 1.4(b)) by the date of the Cut-Over (as defined with respect to each Product Line in the applicable Transition Services Agreement). Seller will provide updates to Purchaser every two weeks in a format to be mutually agreed to by the Parties as to the progress being made on the Build Ahead Inventory by part number and quantity. The Build-Ahead Inventory will be subject to commercial constraints, including without limitations any supply chain constraints.

On the date of the applicable Cut-Over, Seller will provide Purchaser with a full accounting of the Build Ahead Inventory. On the date of the applicable Cut-Over, Seller shall also provide a full accounting of the final Build Ahead Inventory that has been completed and any detail components both on-hand, as well as those on order from suppliers. At this same time, Seller will ship any remaining completed Build Ahead Inventory to Purchaser, including on-order (but yet to be delivered to Seller) detail components, at Seller’s standard cost. Seller will invoice Purchaser for all completed Build Ahead Inventory, as well as on-hand and on-order (but yet to be delivered to Seller). Seller will send all completed Build Ahead Inventory to Purchaser when completed and will invoice upon shipment. Payment will be due thirty (30) calendar days from the date of Seller’s invoice. For purposes of clarity, at the conclusion of the applicable Cut-Over, Seller will no longer be able to produce any additional Build Ahead Inventory under this Agreement.

(c)       All payments required under this Agreement, shall be made by wire transfer in accordance with the instructions set forth on Schedule 1.4(c).

(d)       Purchaser and Seller agree and acknowledge that all payments made by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.4 are non-refundable and non-creditable. Subject to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and Section 1.5, in no event shall Purchaser be able to recover the Purchase Price or any payments made under this Section 1.4. Seller may deduct any amount due to Seller under this Agreement (including any Exhibits or Attachments) against any amount due to Purchaser under this Agreement (including any Exhibits or Attachments). Purchaser may not deduct any amount due to Purchaser against any amount due to Seller.

(e)       Title and Risk of Loss or Damage.

    (i)       Title and risk of loss or damage to the Inventory in Schedule 1.1(a)(ii), will pass to Purchaser when Seller places such Inventory at Purchaser’s disposal at the designated facility.

  (ii)       Title and risk of loss or damage to Equipment, as defined and set forth in Schedule 1.1(a)(iii), will pass to Purchaser when Seller places such Equipment at Purchaser’s disposal at the designated facility, upon Purchaser’s request, but after the Effective Date.

  (iii)       Delivery terms are EX Works (Incoterms 2020), Seller’s designated facility.

1.5.         Inventory Adjustment

(a)       Purchaser shall have between the applicable Cut-Over until the date that is two months after the date of the applicable Cut-Over to conduct a physical inventory count of the Inventory with respect to the applicable Product Line, consistent with Seller’s past practice, (with respect to each Product Line, the “Adjustment Review Period”) in order to dispute the quantity of the Inventory identified on Schedule 1.1(a)(ii). Purchaser and its duly authorized representatives shall have the right to conduct a physical inspection and count of the Honeywell Inventory with respect to the applicable Product Line that will be shipped to Purchaser post Cut-Over (as defined with respect to each Product Line in the applicable Transition Services Agreement), and shall have the right to visit, observe and inspect the Inventory in order for Purchaser to verify the identify, count, and condition of the items included in the Inventory.

(b)       After the applicable Adjustment Review Period, Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) business days to dispute the Honeywell Inventory with respect to the applicable Product Line. If Purchaser has not given Seller written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) of Purchaser’s objection to the Honeywell Inventory quantities identified on Schedule 1.1(a)(ii) within such time period, then the Inventory identified on Schedule 1.1(a)(ii) with respect to the applicable Product Line shall be considered final.

(c)       If Purchaser delivers a Dispute Notice to Seller prior to the end of the applicable Adjustment Review Period, then Purchaser and Seller shall, during the thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such additional time as the Parties may mutually agree), work together in good faith to reach agreement on the disputed items to agree on the value of the Inventory with respect to the applicable Product Line. “Final Inventory” means the Honeywell Inventory value with respect to the applicable Product Line (1) as shown in Schedule 1.1(a)(ii) with respect to the applicable Product Line if no Dispute Notice related to the Honeywell Inventory value is duly delivered pursuant to Section 1.5(b); or (2) if such a Dispute Notice is delivered, as agreed to by Purchaser and Seller pursuant to this Section 1.5(c).

(d)       If the Final Inventory quantity with respect to each applicable Product Line is ten percent (10%) lesser or greater than the Honeywell Inventory value set forth on Schedule 1.1(a)(ii) with respect to each applicable Product Line (such excess or deficit, the “Inventory Surplus/Deficit”), then no later than fourteen (14) calendar days following the date of the determination of the Final Inventory value with respect to the applicable Product Line, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith on a commensurate value for such Inventory Surplus/Deficit.

(e)       If any additional inventory is discovered after the Final Inventory, and which is not tied to the Build Ahead Inventory with respect to each applicable Product Line (the “Residual Inventory”), then the Parties will negotiate in good faith to reach a mutually acceptable disposition of the Residual Inventory with respect to each applicable Product Line which shall be the amount of Seller’s standard material, labor and overhead costs (consistent with past practices).

ARTICLE 2

LICENSE; CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

2.1.        Grant of License.

(a)       For good and valuable consideration and subject to Purchaser’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and subject to the applicable Transition Services Agreement, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby accepts, in perpetuity, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 2.6, the following:

    (i)       On the Effective Date, a non-transferable and non-assignable (except as provided in Section 8.6), exclusive (subject to the Pre-Existing Agreements listed on Schedule 8.2(a)(iv)) license during the License Term and only in the Licensed Field and only within the Licensed Territory to (1) use the Licensed Intellectual Property to repair, overhaul, have repaired and overhauled, manufacture, have manufactured, sell, have sold, import, export and distribute Exclusive Licensed Products and Improvements thereto; and (2) reproduce, copy, prepare derivative works of and otherwise revise and modify Licensed Intellectual Property in furtherance of the foregoing. The license of this Section 2.1(a)(i) does not include the right to grant sublicenses absent the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

   (ii)       On the Effective Date, a non-transferable and non-assignable (except as provided in Section 8.6), non-exclusive (subject to the Pre-Existing Agreements listed on Schedule 8.2(a)(iv)) license during the License Term and only in the Licensed Field and only within the Licensed Territory to (1) use the Licensed Intellectual Property to repair, overhaul, have repaired and overhauled, manufacture, have manufactured, sell, have sold, import, export and distribute Non-Exclusive Licensed Products and Improvements thereto, and (2) reproduce, copy, prepare derivative works of and otherwise revise and modify Licensed Intellectual Property in furtherance of the foregoing. The license granted pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(ii) does not include the right to grant sublicenses absent the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

  (iii)       Except as otherwise explicitly set forth in this Section 2.1(a), Purchaser shall not have any right to, and shall not, use Licensed Products, Improvements or Licensed Intellectual Property for any other purpose, including for applications outside the Licensed Field or to design, manufacture, repair or overhaul products other than Licensed Products or Improvements.

(b)      Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 2 to the contrary, but subject to the license grants to Purchaser herein, Seller shall retain all ownership rights in and to Licensed Intellectual Property, together with all Intellectual Property rights therein or thereto and all rights not expressly granted to Purchaser hereunder are reserved to Seller, including the rights to (i) enforce Licensed Intellectual Property against third parties and collect damages awarded in any such enforcement action or settlement thereof; (ii) use Licensed Intellectual Property to repair, overhaul, make, use, sell, and import products other than the Licensed Products and Improvements thereto, including within the Licensed Field; and (iii) use, or grant licenses to, Licensed Intellectual Property to repair, overhaul make, use, sell and import Licensed Products and products other than the Licensed Products outside of the Licensed Field.

(c)      Except as expressly granted in this Article 2 and Section 6.6, no license or right, either expressly, implicitly, by estoppel, conduct of the Parties, or otherwise, is granted by Seller to Purchaser. Except as expressly granted Section 6.6, no license or right, either expressly, implicitly, by estoppel, conduct of the Parties or otherwise is granted by Seller to Purchaser to use as, or as a portion of, a trademark or otherwise the mark “HONEYWELL” or any other trademark or trade or product name of Seller, or any word or mark similar thereto.

(d)       Seller shall provide copies of the Licensed Intellectual Property to the extent in existence in Seller’s possession to Purchaser in the data format existing and used by Seller as of the Effective Date, and provide related technical transfer assistance as more fully set forth in the Transition Services Agreements. Purchaser shall thereafter be responsible for maintaining all drawings, technical documentation and other materials related to the Licensed Intellectual Property, including current (as conveyed by Seller) and future designs, if any, developed by Purchaser and including any maintenance, corrections, revisions, releases, updates, upgrades and other changes to any drawings and documentation. No technical assistance will be provided by Seller to Purchaser except as specifically set forth in the Transition Services Agreements.

(e)       Subject to Section 6.6, Purchaser shall clearly mark Licensed Products and Improvements manufactured, sold or distributed by Purchaser to indicate that they are manufactured by Purchaser and not Seller.

(f)       Purchaser shall be solely responsible for obtaining any necessary Federal Aviation Administration or other equivalent authorities’ certifications, permits or approvals in connection with its use of the Licensed Intellectual Property and manufacture or sale of Licensed Products or Improvements.

(g)      Purchaser grants to Seller and to its subsidiaries and affiliates a free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use the Licensed Products needed to support simulators with Licensed Product (whether aircraft hardware or simulated functionality) installed during the Term.

2.2.         Confidentiality.

(a)       As used in this Article 2, “Confidential Information” means (i) the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) all information, data and materials the Receiving Party obtains from the Disclosing Party under this Article 2, including Licensed Intellectual Property, (1) that is marked as confidential, or (2) that the Receiving Party should reasonably know, by its nature or the manner of its disclosure, to be confidential and that the Receiving Party may receive, observe, or have access to in connection with this Agreement. The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that (A) Confidential Information constitutes valuable trade secrets of the Disclosing Party, (B) the Disclosing Party has and shall retain exclusive (except as expressly provided herein) valuable property rights in and to Confidential Information, (C) Confidential Information shall remain valuable trade secrets proprietary to the Disclosing Party until and unless the Disclosing Party places Confidential Information in the public domain or authorizes placement of the Confidential Information in the public domain, and (D) but for this Agreement, the Receiving Party would have no rights in or access to the Confidential Information.

(b)       Notwithstanding Section 2.3(a), Confidential Information does not include, or shall cease to include as appropriate, information that (i) is lawfully received free of restriction from another source that has the right to furnish such information; (ii) has become generally available to the public by acts not attributable to the Receiving Party or its employees, subcontractors, consultants or advisors; (iii) at the time of disclosure to the Receiving Party, was known to the Receiving Party free of restriction; or (iv) is conceived by the Receiving Party without use of or access to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as can be verified by the Receiving Party’s written records kept in the ordinary course of business.

(c)       The Receiving Party shall protect Confidential Information using the same degree of care, but no less than commercially reasonable care, as it uses to protect its own confidential information. The Receiving Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, disclose, in any manner or via any media whatsoever, any Confidential Information, other than to its Affiliates or Representatives (i) who have a specific need to know such Confidential Information in order to exercise the Receiving Party’s rights under this Agreement, (ii) who are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and (iii) who, if not employees of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates, agree in writing to act in accordance with and be bound by terms and conditions at least as restrictive as the terms and conditions herein regarding the safeguarding and disclosure of Confidential Information or, if employees of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates, are under an obligation to the Receiving Party or its Affiliates to maintain confidential information disclosed to any such employee confidential.

(d)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event disclosure of Confidential Information by the Receiving Party or its Affiliates is mandated by applicable Law or by an order of a court or governmental or law enforcement agency or other authority, each of competent jurisdiction, the Receiving Party will, if such disclosure is legally permissible, promptly notify the Disclosing Party of such requirement, and the Receiving Party shall use good faith efforts, in consultation with the Disclosing Party, to challenge such disclosure or, failing in such challenge, secure a protective order or other appropriate confidential treatment of the Confidential Information prior to its disclosure by the Receiving Party.

(e)       The Receiving Party (i) shall maintain Confidential Information in a secure location, (ii) shall ensure Confidential Information is accessible only to those Representatives to whom it is permitted to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to Section 2.3(c), (iii) shall not permit any other individual or entity to, copy or reproduce any tangible materials comprising or memorializing any Confidential Information, and (iv) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require that each of its Representatives who terminates his or her employment or other business relationship with the Receiving Party or an Affiliate of The Receiving Party shall, upon or prior to the Effective Date of such termination, provide to the Receiving Party all tangible items comprising Confidential Information in such Representative’s possession or control.

(f)       The Receiving Party will be responsible for any breach of this Section 2.3 by any of its respective Representatives. The Receiving Party shall (i) notify The Disclosing Party promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information (inadvertent or otherwise), and (ii) cooperate in good faith with The Disclosing Party to assist The Disclosing Party to regain possession of its Confidential Information and/or to prevent further unauthorized use or disclosure.

(g)       The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the violation of its obligations under this Section 2.3 may cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party, which harm may not be compensable solely by monetary damages, and that, therefore, in the event of an actual or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of this Section 2.3, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief, without the necessity of proving monetary damages or posting bond or other security. Any such equitable relief granted shall be without limitation of or prejudice to any other rights and remedies as the Disclosing Party may have under this Agreement.

(h)       For the purposes of this Agreement, each party shall be a “Disclosing Party” with respect to its own Confidential Information and the “Receiving Party” with respect to the Confidential Information received from the other party.

2.3.       Records, Reports, and Right to Audit.

(a)       As of the Effective Date, Purchaser will gather and maintain accurate and up-to-date records evidencing Purchaser’s compliance with Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to, Article 2 and Section 6.8. With respect to each of the foregoing, Purchaser shall preserve and permit audits and examination of such records by Seller’s representatives subject to Purchaser’s security regulations and third party contractual confidentiality obligations. These records will be maintained for a period of not less than three (3) years after the end of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement. All records shall constitute Confidential Information of the Purchaser and be subject to the confidentiality obligations of Section 2.2.

(b)       Seller, through its authorized representatives, not more than once per calendar year and upon fourteen (14) calendar days prior written notice, unless Seller can show reasonable cause for a shorter notice period, has the right during normal business hours during the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years thereafter, subject to Purchaser’s security regulations, to visit Purchaser and have access to the inside and outside of Purchaser’s facility for the purpose of inspecting, observing and evaluating Purchaser’s performance under this Agreement with respect to the following: (i) Purchaser’s compliance with all provisions of this Agreement, (ii) any noncompliance with the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) possession, access and control of Confidential Information, (iv) books and records, including access to people with knowledge of the books and records (with prior consent of Purchaser for access to such people, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and reports to determine compliance with the terms of this agreement, (v) use and modification of Licensed Products and Improvements, and (vi) Purchaser’s performance of its obligations under the Assumed Contracts. If any of Purchaser’s books, records and reports are located off of Purchaser’s premises, said books, records and reports will be made available to Seller or its authorized representatives within fourteen (14) calendar days of Seller’s written request.

(c)       Inspection will take place no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after Seller notifies Purchaser of Seller’s intent to conduct an audit. Seller shall have the right to demand and receive reasonable documentation to perform an audit of the items described above, such documentation being produced at a Seller location or other such location designated by Seller within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of request for such documentation.

2.5 Litigation.

(a)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.8, Seller at its sole discretion may, but shall have no obligation to, take whatever steps it deems necessary or desirable to protect or maintain the Licensed Intellectual Property, including the institution, prosecution and control of any defense or enforcement of the Licensed Intellectual Property with respect to possible infringement of the Licensed Intellectual Property, at its own expense; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Seller to assume any responsibility or liability respecting the maintenance or enforcement of the Licensed Intellectual Property or any rights therein or any action or possible action. Purchaser, promptly upon receipt of knowledge thereof, shall give Seller notice of any infringement or alleged infringement of the Licensed Intellectual Property by a third party and any and all threatened or actual claims, disputes, controversies, actions, lawsuits, proceedings, investigations, or the issuance of any order, writ, injunction, award, judgment or decree before or of any court, tribunal, arbitration panel, agency or governmental instrumentality against Purchaser or a third party that is related to infringement of the Licensed Intellectual Property. Such notice will not obligate Seller to take action on such information. In the event Seller chooses to enforce its rights in the Licensed Intellectual Property, all costs and expenses of any such litigation shall be borne solely by Seller and all benefits, damages and settlement, shall be the sole property of Seller, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Seller and Purchaser.

(b)       Purchaser shall not file any pleadings or otherwise take any action in connection with any such infringement or alleged infringement or litigation or threatened litigation described in this Section 2.5 without first obtaining the express written approval of Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to possible infringement by a third party occurring within the Licensed Field and/or the Licensed Territory, except as may be necessary to prevent any action adverse to Purchaser or Seller by default or otherwise. Seller, at its sole cost and expense as set forth in (a) above and in its sole discretion, may bring any such suit in the name of Purchaser and shall have the right to join Purchaser in any such lawsuit if legally necessary, or may negotiate a settlement thereof. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Seller in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding, including the giving of testimony and related activities such as testimony preparation, travel, and lodging, at Seller’s expense, and shall make available without charge all evidence, documentation, data and information in its possession which might assist Seller in such action. Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed about the progress of any such suit.

(c)        If, during the License Term, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees, obtains or controls any patent or other Intellectual Property right (by ownership or license) that it developed as an Improvement to, and that could be asserted by Purchaser or its Affiliates or sublicensees to prevent Seller from using the Licensed Intellectual Property in accordance with its retained rights set forth in Section 2.1(b), Purchaser will grant and hereby grants to Seller a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up right and license (with the right to sublicense and to authorize sublicenses to grant further sublicenses), to use such patent or other Intellectual Property right consistent with Seller’s retained ownership rights set forth in Section 2.1(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon expiration of the non-competition period specified in Section 6.10 below, Seller is actively competing with Purchaser in providing Exclusive Licensed Products in the Licensed Field within the Licensed Territory, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith appropriate consideration payable to Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates for any Improvement.

2.6          License Term.

(a)       This Article 2 shall commence on the Effective Date and shall, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 2.6, continue in perpetuity (the “License Term”).

(b)       In the event of a willful breach by Purchaser under this Article 2, Seller shall provide ninety (90) days’ written notice to Purchaser identifying such breach or default. If such willful breach or default is not cured at the end of such ninety (90) day period or, if such willful breach or default is incapable of being cured within such period and Purchaser has not begun substantial efforts to cure such willful breach or default then Seller may, in its sole discretion and at any time following such ninety (90) day period terminate this Article 2 and the licenses granted herein. For purposes of clarity, “willful breach” means a material breach that is a consequence of an act or failure to act undertaken by Purchaser with actual knowledge, or the knowledge that a Person acting reasonably under the circumstances should have, that Purchaser’s act or failure to act would, or would reasonably be expected to, constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(c)       The termination of Article 2 pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall not release Purchaser from any liability, debt, claim or cause of action accruing against Purchaser under this Article 2 or other consequences arising from any breach or violation of the terms of this Article 2 prior to such termination, nor shall any such termination release Purchaser from its obligations or duties under this Article 2 or otherwise under this Agreement which, by their terms or expressed intent or by their nature would be expected to survive any termination. All provisions of this Article 2 that set forth such obligations or duties and such other general or procedural provisions that may be relevant to any attempt to enforce such obligations or duties shall survive any such termination of this Article 2 until such obligations or duties shall have been performed or discharged in full.

(d)       Upon termination under this Article 2, (i) the licenses granted in Section 2.1 shall immediately terminate, and (ii) all notes, compilations, and other types of extracts that contain or relate to the Licensed Intellectual Property or Confidential Information shall be returned to Seller by Purchaser within forty-five (45) calendar days following any such termination and the return of all such materials shall be certified by an officer of Purchaser in writing delivered to Seller within such forty-five (45) calendar day period. However, until such xxxx Xxxxxx is able to transition the business back to Seller fully, Purchaser will (i) continue to sell any Licensed Products and Improvements in possession of the Purchaser on the date of termination, (ii) complete the production of Licensed Products and Improvements then in the process of production and sell the same, and (iii) continue to satisfy warranty and other claims with respect to Licensed Products and Improvements sold by Purchaser. In the event the transition back Purchaser needs the Licensed Intellectual Property or Confidential Information needs to be retained by Purchaser longer than the forty-five (45) calendar day period, Seller will provide written consent to extend the period. Any damages incurred by Seller during the transition period will be the responsibility of Purchaser as set forth in the Transition Services Agreements.

6.3.         Further Action. Seller and Purchaser shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions (within their respective control) necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement provided that nothing in any Transaction Document shall obligate either party to incur any Liability (including any Liability for any transfer, consent or similar fee) in connection with obtaining any consent, approval or authorization required under any Contract, Permit or other instrument of the Licensed Products as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document or required to maintain any such Contract, Permit or other instrument in full force and effect after the Effective Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from time to time after the date hereof, and for no further consideration, each of Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver such assignments, transfers, consents, assumptions and other documents and instruments and take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary to appropriately consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including (a) transferring back to Seller or its designated Affiliates any asset or Liability which was inadvertently transferred at the Effective Date, and (b) transferring to Purchaser any asset or Liability contemplated by this Agreement to be transferred to Purchaser at the Effective Date and which was not so transferred at the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) any Equipment exclusively used in the manufacture of Exclusive Licensed Products to be transferred to Purchaser, notwithstanding any inadvertent omission of such Equipment from Schedule 1.1(a)(iii) and (ii) any Equipment not used in the manufacture of the Exclusive Licensed Products to be transferred or retained by Seller, notwithstanding any inadvertent inclusion of such Equipment on Schedule 1.1(a)(iii).

6.4.         Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party hereto incurring such expenses. Seller shall be fully reimbursed for any costs and expenses incurred after the Effective Date of this Agreement that should have been borne by Purchaser. Seller will invoice Purchaser for such costs and expenses on a monthly basis and the invoice will be due thirty (30) days from date of invoice. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement, shall be borne solely by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees.

In addition, and subject to the restrictions set forth herein, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby accepts, effective at the time of the Effective Date with respect to the Purchased Assets that are transferred to Purchaser at the Effective Date, a personal, non-assignable, nonexclusive, royalty-free transition license solely to continue to use Seller’s Marks only as necessary in connection with Purchaser’s applications for Certifications and approval for those parts subject to Certification review and approval until such time as Purchaser’s applications have been approved or otherwise concluded, but no later than eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date, whichever occurs first. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser may continue to distribute, sell, dispose of the finished goods inventory with the XXXXXXXXX xxxx until consumed.

Purchaser will add a legend, which must be approved in advance and in writing by Seller, to any drawing that contains a Seller mark and is used by Purchaser either in its Certification applications or in its ongoing operations to manufacture and support the Licensed Products, to indicate that the drawing is being used by Purchaser pursuant to a license from Seller. Purchaser’s ability to use a properly-legend drawing containing a Seller’s Mark in Purchaser’s ongoing operations is without a time restriction; however, whenever commercially feasible Purchaser will replace a drawing that contains a Seller’s Mark with Purchaser’s own drawing that does not contain a Seller Xxxx. All use of Seller’s Marks as permitted hereunder shall inure solely to the benefit of Seller.

6.7.         Bulk Sales Laws. Seller and Purchaser each hereby waive compliance by Seller with the provisions of the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfers” or similar Laws of any state.

(a)       Such insurance will: 1) specifically recognize and insure the contractual liability assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement; 2) provide that the contractual liability is primary insurance with respect to Seller and will not be reduced by or have any recourse against any insurance that might be available to Seller; 3) provide that no cancellation, material change, or non-renewal becomes effective except upon thirty (30) Days prior written notice to Seller; 4) specifically waive insurer’s rights of subrogation against Seller to the same extent as Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement; and 5) be written with carrier/carriers with a minimum rating of “A-, X” by A.M. Best Rating agency or equivalent agency.

(b)       Should Purchaser’s policies provide a limit of liability in excess of such amounts, Seller will have the right of the benefit of the full extent of the coverage available.

(c)       Upon request by Seller, Purchaser will furnish Certificates of Insurance to Seller evidencing the insurance required herein. From thereon, Purchaser will furnish a valid Certificate of Insurance to Seller annually, upon written request, as required pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Agreement.

6.10.      Noncompetition.

In the event of any assignment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.6, the obligations of Seller under this Section 6.10 shall terminate.

(b)       The restrictions set forth in this Section 6.10 shall not be construed to prohibit or restrict Seller or its Affiliates from acquiring any Person or business that engages in the Restricted Activities, provided that (i) the engagement in such Restricted Activities do not constitute the principal part of the activities of the Person or business to be acquired (based on total revenues expressed in United States dollars or calculated in United States dollars utilizing the relevant and then applicable current foreign exchange rate, of all sales of such Person or business during the consecutive four (4) full calendar quarters immediately preceding the Effective Date of acquisition of such Person or business) or (ii) if the Restricted Activities constitute in excess of forty percent (40%) of the revenues of the Person or business acquired, Seller shall (1) promptly provide written notice to Purchaser after its acquisition of such Person or business and (2) use its commercially reasonable efforts to divest that portion of the Person or business that engages in the Restricted Activities within twelve (12) months after its acquisition of such Person or business.

(c)       Notwithstanding this Section 6.10, if Article 2 (License) is terminated before the second anniversary of the Effective Date, Seller’s obligations set forth in this Section 6.10 shall be immediately terminated and of no further force and effect.

(d)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (or the Transaction Documents), this Section 6.10 shall not apply (i) to any business or operations of Seller or any of its Affiliates which are transferred to any third party after the date hereof, (ii) any subsidiaries of Seller the stock of which is transferred to any third party after the date hereof, (iii) any Affiliate of Seller who becomes an Affiliate as a result of a change in control of Seller or (iv) any acquisition of securities by Seller’s (or any of Seller’s Affiliate’s) pension trust or similar employee benefit plan investment vehicle, provided that any securities acquired shall be held for investment purposes only and such benefit plans comply with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 requirements as to the independence of investment decisions.

(e)       “Excluded Businesses” has the meaning set forth on Schedule 6.10(e).

6.11.       Regulatory Obligations

(a)       Purchaser recognizes that time is of the essence and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all regulatory requirements that would enable them to perform, including without limitation all applicable Type Certificates (“TC”), Parts Manufacture Approval (“PMA”) and Technical Standard Order (“TSO”) for the Licensed Products as soon as possible following the Effective Date (collectively “Certifications”). In furtherance thereof, Purchaser shall submit its application for Certifications for the Licensed Products to the applicable aviation regulatory authority, such as the United States Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”), as soon as capable. Seller will provide commercially reasonable assistance for Purchaser’s applications for Certifications through the period of and in accordance with the Transition Services Agreements. Any further assistance desired by Purchaser with respect to its Certification applications after the end of the applicable Transition Services Agreement with respect to each Product Line will be negotiated by the Parties. Until such time as Purchaser receives all Certifications for the Licensed Products, Purchaser shall provide Seller with monthly written progress reports regarding its pursuit of Certifications for the Licensed Products, which reports shall include status by Certification Type, part number and the contact person at the regulatory body with whom Purchaser is working to obtain such Certifications for the Licensed Products.

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for obtaining (including expenses or fees therefor and the preparation of any documentation or applications), any necessary Federal Aviation Administration or other aviation regulatory authority certifications, permits or approvals in connection with its use of the Licensed Technology and manufacture or sale of Licensed Products or Improvements.

(c)       Purchaser commits that it is able to qualify with Seller to perform direct ship at the Effective Date, subject to Seller’s assistance related to aviation regulatory certifications (e.g. FAA 8130 Airworthiness Tags). Purchaser shall qualify and perform direct ship, as may be required under this Agreement, including labeling of Licensed Products in accordance with Seller requirements.

(d)       Purchaser shall have the obligation to configure drawings of Unique Parts as the design authority for such parts. Seller will no longer be considered the design authority for such Unique Parts and will remove design authority of drawings for such Unique Parts. Seller will retain design authority for Common Parts and Purchaser will not configure drawings of Common Parts as design authority. For purposes of this section, Unique Parts are defined as parts that are used only in products indicated in Schedule 2.1(a)(i). A part is defined as “Common Parts” if such part is used in other products not indicated in Schedule 2.1(a)(i).

(e)       In the event Purchaser makes Improvements to Common Parts, Purchaser will change the base part number of such Common Part and change the drawing once the edits capturing the changes are completed. Such Common Part will then be considered a Unique Part and Purchaser will also become the design authority for such Unique Part.

(f)       In the event Seller makes Improvements to Common Parts, such Common Part will receive a new dash number and Seller will also create a new drawing that captures such changes to the new dash number.

(g)       In the event that a part is unintentionally misidentified as Unique when such part is in fact common, such part will be treated as Common Part and Seller will not be held in breach for the use such Common Part.

6.12.      Pre-Existing Agreements. In the event that Seller becomes aware of any Pre-Existing Agreement that it inadvertently failed to schedule on Schedule 8.2(a)(iv), Seller will promptly notify Purchaser and amend Schedule 8.2(a)(iv) accordingly.

6.13.      Tax Matters.

(a)       The Purchase Price excludes all taxes (including but not limited to, sales, use, excise, value-added, and other similar taxes), duties and charges. Purchaser is responsible for all such taxes, duties and charges resulting from this Agreement or as a result of Xxxxxx’s performance hereunder or otherwise relating to the payment of the Purchase Price, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld, or assessed. If Seller is required to impose, levy, collect, withhold or assess any such taxes, duties or charges on any transaction under this Agreement, then in addition to the purchase price, Seller will invoice Purchaser for such taxes, duties, and charges unless at the time of order placement Purchaser furnishes Seller with an exemption certificate or other documentation sufficient to verify exemption from such taxes, duties or charges.

(b)       If any income taxes are required to be withheld from amounts paid or payable to Seller under this Agreement, Purchaser will withhold the required amount income of taxes and pay such taxes on behalf of Seller to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law and Purchaser will forward proof of such income tax withholding sufficient to establish the withholding amount and recipient to Seller within 60 days of payment. In no event will Seller be liable for taxes paid or payable by Purchaser.

(c)       Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event will Purchaser be liable for: (i) any taxes attributable to the use and/or existence of the Purchased Assets prior to the Effective Date; (ii) any tax bill that relates to both the period prior to the Effective Date and after the Effective Date shall be apportioned accordingly between Seller and Purchaser; and (iii) any income taxes, other than Section 6.13(b) withholding taxes, incurred by Seller as a result of performance under this Agreement. This clause will survive expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

All disclosures on any such Form 8-K (including any exhibits and amendments thereto) shall be subject to the first proviso in Section 6.2.

7.2.         Indemnification. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Article 7, from and after the date hereof:

(a)       Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, members, partners, managers and employees (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses that are imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in Article 4, as modified by the Disclosure Schedule; for the avoidance of doubt, any “material” or “materiality” limitations or qualifications shall be given full effect in the representations and warranties, (ii) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Seller set forth in this Agreement, (iii) any actual or threatened suit or claim arising out of any actual or alleged patent or copyright infringement of any Intellectual Property right of a third party, to the extent based on the Licensed Products as each existed on or prior to the Effective Date. Seller will have no liability or obligation to defend or indemnify Purchaser with respect to claims of infringement arising out of or based on: (a) an Improvement by, on behalf of, or authorized by, Purchaser; (b) use of the Intellectual Property or Licensed Products by, on behalf of, or authorized by, Purchaser outside of the rights granted in Article 2; (c) a combination by, on behalf of, or authorized by, Purchaser of a Licensed Product or Inventory with any article not furnished by Seller; and/or (d) any modification of a Licensed Product or Inventory other than a modification by Seller. If a claim of infringement is made, or if Seller believes that such a claim is likely, Seller may, at its option, and at its expense procure for Purchaser the right to continue using the Licensed Products; or (iv) all Liabilities arising out of or relating to third party tort claims of product liability that are brought in respect of any fact, event or circumstance that arises prior to the Effective Date and is related to any Purchased Asset or Licensed Product; provided that any claim by Purchaser under Section 7.2(a)(iv) may only be brought within twelve (12) months following the Effective Date and in each case thereafter Purchaser shall be responsible for any Liability with respect to such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligations under Sections 7.2(a)(iv) after any assignment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.6.

(b)       Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, members, partners, managers and employees (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses that are imposed on or incurred by Seller Indemnified Parties arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in Article 5; for the avoidance of doubt, any “material” or “materiality” limitations or qualifications shall be given full effect in the representations and warranties, (ii) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the Assumed Liabilities, (iv) the ownership, use and possession of the Purchased Assets on or after the Effective Date or (v) Purchaser’s, its permitted sublicensees’, or their respective Affiliates, Representatives, distributors, contractors or customers’ manufacture, sale, import, export, advertising, marketing or distribution of the Licensed Products on or after the Effective Date, other than any claim that such use, manufacture, sale, import, export, marketing, advertising or distribution infringes or misappropriates any Intellectual Property right of a third party other than to the extent such claim is a result of (i) an Improvement on behalf of, authorized by, or by Purchaser; (ii) use of the Intellectual Property or Licensed Products by, on behalf of, or authorized by, Purchaser outside of the rights granted in Article 2; (iii) a combination by Purchaser of a Licensed Product or Inventory with any article not furnished by Seller; and/or (iv) any modification of a Licensed Product or Inventory by, on behalf of, or authorized by, Purchaser other than a modification by Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Purchaser be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Losses pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) to the extent such Losses are subject to an indemnity by Seller pursuant to Section 7.2(a)).

7.3.         Indemnification Procedures.

(a)       In order for a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Article 7 in respect of a claim made against the Indemnified Party by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying Party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Third-Party Claim promptly following receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly following the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim, other than those notices and documents separately addressed to the Indemnifying Party.

(b)       The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third-Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnifiable hereunder and to select counsel of its choice; provided that, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall only be entitled to control the defense of the Third-Party Claim if the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any and all Losses thereto (subject to all the provisions set forth in this Agreement). If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to as a result of the previous sentence, or does not within thirty (30) calendar days of its receipt of notice of a Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 7.3(a) elect to defend against or negotiate any Third-Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnifiable hereunder, the applicable Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third-Party Claim. If the applicable Indemnified Party defends any Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the applicable Indemnified Party for the reasonable actual, documented costs and expenses of defending such Third-Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the applicable Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that such applicable Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the applicable Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the applicable Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one (1) such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third-Party Claim.

(c)       If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall (and shall cause the applicable Indemnified Parties to) cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the other Party shall (and shall cause the applicable Indemnified Parties to) agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that (i) involves only money damages, (ii) by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party (or its Affiliates) to pay the full amount of the Liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim, (iii) does not require any payment or other action by, or impose any obligation or restriction on, any Indemnified Party, and (iv) releases all Indemnified Parties in connection with such Third-Party Claim, and in all other cases the Indemnifying Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) provided however that in no event shall Purchaser agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of any Third-Party Claim brought pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(v), or that imposes any obligation or restriction on any Seller Indemnified Party with respect to the Licensed Intellectual Property, without the prior written consent of Seller. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the applicable Indemnified Parties shall not admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d)       In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Article 7 that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party promptly following the Indemnified Party becoming aware of the same. The failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any Liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article 7, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(e)       The Indemnified Party shall take, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate or otherwise minimize any Losses that form the basis of a claim for indemnification under this Article 7.

(f)       An Indemnifying Party making any indemnification payment under this Article 7 shall be subrogated to all rights of the applicable Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses indemnified by such party.

(g)       For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party with respect to any claim as to which indemnification is sought hereunder even though the amount thereof plus the amount of other claims previously notified by the Indemnified Party in aggregate is less than the Threshold Amount.

7.4.         Indemnification Limitations.

(a)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses with respect to Section 7.2(a)(i) that are imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds the amount set forth on Part I of Schedule 7.4 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this sentence shall not apply with respect to any claim for indemnification in respect of any breach of Sections 4.1 (Corporate Status), 4.2 (Authority), 4.7 (Personal Properties) and 4.8 (No Brokers) (each, a “Seller Fundamental Representation and Warranty”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be liable for indemnification with respect to any Loss from a claim by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties hereunder of less than the amount set forth on Part II of Schedule 7.4 (each, a “De Minimis Loss”) and all such Losses shall be disregarded and shall not be aggregated for purposes of the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply with respect to any claim for indemnification in respect of any Seller Fundamental Representation and Warranty.

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Purchaser be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses with respect to Section 7.2(b)(i) that are imposed on or incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds the Threshold Amount, in which case the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this sentence shall not apply with respect to any claim for indemnification in respect of any breach of Sections 5.1 (Corporate Status) and 5.2 (Authority) (each, a “Purchaser Fundamental Representation and Warranty”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be liable for indemnification under Section 7.2(b)(i) with respect to any Loss from a claim by the Seller Indemnified Parties hereunder of less than the De Minimis Loss and all such Losses shall be disregarded and shall not be aggregated for purposes of the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply with respect to any claim for indemnification in respect of any Purchaser Fundamental Representation and Warranty, payment shortfalls, or audit findings.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller be required to make payments for indemnification with respect to any breaches of any representations and warranties or have any other Liability or obligation pursuant to this Agreement in an aggregate amount in excess of the amount set forth on Part III of Schedule 7.4; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply with respect to any claim in respect of any Seller Fundamental Representation and Warranty, which shall not exceed an aggregate amount in excess of the Purchase Price of this Agreement.

(d)       In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made or could be made under any other representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement and shall be computed net of (i) amounts recoverable by the Indemnified Party under indemnification agreements or arrangements with third parties or under any insurance policy of Seller relating to the period prior to the date hereof with respect to such Losses (each, a “Collateral Source”), and (ii) any actual prior recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses. In the event of any indemnification claim paid, Seller may, in its sole discretion, require any Indemnified Party to grant to Seller an assignment of the right of such Indemnified Party to assert a claim against any Collateral Source. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Article 8 is determined after payment of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party under this Article 8 the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that such Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article 7 had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

(e)       Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.4, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall Seller be liable for any punitive damages or any special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages of any kind or nature (including lost profits, damages resulting from business interruption or any damages, losses that are imposed on or incurred by any customers of Purchaser or any other third party that does business with Purchaser, or losses arising out of the operation or use of the Licensed Intellectual Property, including the infringement of third party Intellectual Property rights by the Licensed Products or the use or inability to use any Licensed Intellectual Property), or any diminution in value or losses based upon any multiplier of earnings or any other valuation metric, regardless of the form of action through which such damages are sought.

(f)       Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except with respect to any equitable remedies, indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any and all claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including in respect of any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, as a material inducement to the other parties hereto entering into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby waives any claim or cause of action, known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen, which it or any of its Affiliates may have against the other parties hereto, including under the common law or federal or state securities laws, trade regulation laws or other laws, by reason of this Agreement, the events giving rise to this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein or contemplated hereby or thereby, except for claims or causes of action brought under and subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions contained in this Article 8. All payments made pursuant to this Article 7 shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(g)       An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this Article 7 for any Losses relating to any matter to the extent that the amount of such matter is reflected in the inventory adjustment under Section 1.5.

(h)       The obligations of the Indemnifying Party to provide indemnification under this Article 7 shall be terminated, modified or abated as appropriate to the extent that the underlying Loss, cause of action or other claim: (i) would not have arisen but for a knowing voluntary act or knowing failure to act that is carried out by or at the express written request of, or with the express written approval or concurrence of, or with the knowing assistance of, the Indemnified Party, (ii) is based, in whole or in part, on the fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) is a Loss, cause of action or claim with respect to which the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates has taken action (or caused action to be taken) to accelerate the time period in which such matter is asserted or payable or (iv) is primarily a possible or potential Loss, cause of action or claim that the Indemnified Party believes may be asserted rather than a Loss, cause of action or claim that has, in fact, been filed of record against such Indemnified Party or paid or incurred by such Indemnified Party.

(i)        No Indemnified Party shall have a right to recover Losses hereunder in respect of any claim if such claim would not have arisen but for a change after the Effective Date in legislation or accounting policies or a change after the Effective Date in interpretation of applicable Law as determined by a court or pursuant to an administration rule making decision.

7.5.         Effect of Knowledge on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to a breach by Seller of any representations and warranties hereunder if such Purchaser Indemnified Party had Knowledge of the facts, events or circumstances giving rise, or allegedly giving rise, to any such claim on the date hereof.

The mediation shall be held in New York, New York. The Parties shall have twenty (20) calendar days from receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator. If no mediator has been agreed upon by the Parties within twenty (20) calendar days of receipt by a Party (or parties) of a Mediation Request, then any Party may request (on written notice to the other Parties), that the CPR appoint a mediator in accordance with the Procedure. All mediation pursuant to this clause shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations, and no oral or documentary representations made by the Parties during such mediation shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings. No Party hereto shall disclose or permit the disclosure of any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by the other Party in the mediation proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the mediation without the prior written consent of such other Party except in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as may be required by Law or requested by a Governmental Authority or securities exchange. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall give the other Party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other Party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests. If the Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) calendar days of the appointment of a mediator, or within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the parties may agree to in writing, then any Party may file an action on the Dispute in any court having jurisdiction in accordance with Section 8.8(c).

(c)       Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in The City of New York and the courts of the United States of America located in The City of New York for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating hereto except in such courts), and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its respective address set forth in Section 8.1 shall be effective service of process for any litigation brought against it in any such court. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any litigation arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of New York sitting in The City of New York or the courts of the United States of America located in The City of New York and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO TRANSACTION MATTERS.
