3.8      Shared Leases. Prior to the Non-Arriver Extraction Closing, QUALCOMM shall determine, with respect to each Shared Lease, whether (a) the real property theretofore leased, licensed or occupied by Veoneer and its Subsidiaries pursuant to such Shared Lease will be made available exclusively to the Arriver Business from and after the Non-Arriver Extraction Effective Time (subject to the use, if any, of such real property by the Non-Arriver Business as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement), in which case such Shared Lease shall be deemed to be an “Arriver Lease” for purposes of this Agreement, (b) the real property theretofore leased, licensed or occupied by Veoneer and its Subsidiaries pursuant to such Shared Lease will be made available exclusively to the Non-Arriver Business from and after the Non-Arriver Extraction Effective Time (subject to the use, if any, of such real property by the Arriver Business as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement), in which case such Shared Lease shall be deemed to be a “Non-Arriver Lease” for purposes of this Agreement, or (c) the real property theretofore leased, licensed or occupied by Veoneer and its Subsidiaries pursuant to such Shared Lease will be made available to both the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business from and after the Non-Arriver Extraction Effective Time, in which case (i) such real property shall be allocated between the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business and separated accordingly (by demising walls or otherwise), (ii) the leasing arrangements with respect to such real property shall be modified or supplemented (by way of assignment, replacement, sublease, license or otherwise) such that the Arriver Business is entitled to use the portion of such real property allocated to the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business is entitled to use the portion of such real property allocated to the Non-Arriver Business (it being understood that the resulting leasing arrangements may bind and benefit (x) the Arriver Group even though the same do not constitute Arriver Leases for purposes of this Agreement and/or (y) the Investor Group even though the same do not constitute Non-Arriver Leases for purposes of this Agreement), and (iii) the costs of such separation and such modification or supplement shall be equitably allocated between the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business, as determined (in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iii)) by QUALCOMM. QUALCOMM shall make each of the determinations described in the immediately preceding sentence in good faith in order to best effectuate the intended separation of the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business and the intent of Section 3.1.3.9      Insurance. QUALCOMM shall determine in good faith the allocation of all claims and other rights of Veoneer and its Subsidiaries under any insurance policies in effect as of the Merger Closing as between the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business following the completion of the Arriver Sale in order to effectuate the intended separation of the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business, including to make available to Investor, to the extent reasonably practicable, insurance proceeds and related rights under such insurance policies to the extent relating to claims with respect to the Non-Arriver Business.

(f)            Transfer Taxes. QUALCOMM shall pay all sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, excise, real property transfer or gains, or similar Taxes incurred as a result of the Non-Arriver Extraction. The Parties shall cooperate with respect to the filing, and jointly file, if applicable, all required Tax Returns in connection with the foregoing.

7.6            No Control of Veoneer’s Business.

(a)            Prior to the Merger Closing, nothing contained in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement is intended to give QUALCOMM, Investor or any of their respective Affiliates, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business and operations of Veoneer or its Subsidiaries’ operations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the business and operations of the Arriver Business or the Non-Arriver Business) and, prior to the Merger Closing, Veoneer, under the control and direction of its Board of Directors, shall exercise complete control and supervision over Veoneer and its Subsidiaries’ operations, including with respect to the selection of Veoneer’s management team and the determination of Veoneer’s budget and business plan.

(b)            During the period from and after the Merger Closing and until the Arriver Sale Closing, Investor shall exercise complete control and supervision over the business and operations of Veoneer and its Subsidiaries (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the business and operations of the Arriver Business and the Non-Arriver Business), which control shall include Investor’s right to select the management team overseeing the business and operations of Veoneer and its Subsidiaries and Investor’s right to determine the budget and business plan for Veoneer and its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Arriver Sale Closing, consistent with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, QUALCOMM shall not have control over Veoneer and its Subsidiaries (including the business and operations of either the Arriver Business or the Non-Arriver Business).

(c)            Following the consummation of the Arriver Sale Closing, nothing contained in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement is intended to give QUALCOMM or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business and operations of Investor or the Non-Arriver Business and from and after the consummation of the Arriver Sale Closing: (i) Investor shall exercise complete control and supervision over the business and operations of Investor and the Non-Arriver Business, which control shall include Investor’s right to select the management team overseeing the business and operations of Investor and the Non-Arriver Business and Investor’s right to determine the budget and business plan for Investor and the Non-Arriver Business and (ii) QUALCOMM shall exercise complete control and supervision over the business and operations of Veoneer and the Arriver Business, which control shall include QUALCOMM’s right to select the management team overseeing the business and operations of Veoneer and the Arriver Business and QUALCOMM’s right to determine the budget and business plan for Veoneer and the Arriver Business.

7.7            Auditor Independence. Investor agrees not to take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause QUALCOMM’s auditor to cease being independent from QUALCOMM.

(iii)            any breach by QUALCOMM or any member of the Arriver Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

10.3            Indemnification Claim Process.

(a)            All claims for indemnification by either a Non-Arriver Indemnitee or an Arriver Indemnitee under this Article X against the applicable indemnifying party pursuant to Section 10.2 (an “Indemnitor”) shall be asserted and resolved in accordance with Sections 10.3 and 10.4.

(b)            If an Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article X in respect of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall promptly, but in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days following such Indemnitee’s knowledge of the basis for making a claim hereunder, notify the Indemnitor in writing of such claim, describing such claim in reasonable detail and the amount or estimated amount of Losses (the “Claims Notice”); provided, that failure to give such notification on a timely basis will not waive the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that such failure to give such notification results in (i) the forfeiture by the Indemnitor of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnitor with respect to such claim or (ii) prejudice to the Indemnitor with respect to such claim.

(c)            The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Indemnitor received the Claims Notice to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor desires to control the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Indemnitor will not be entitled to assume or continue the defense thereof if the Third Party Claim (i) seeks, in addition to or lieu of monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief (other than such relief that is incidental to the award of money damages), (ii) presents, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor or (iii) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action, indictment, allegation or investigation (such Third Party Claim in the case of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), an “Excluded Third Party Claim”; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Third Party Claim in the case of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) relates exclusively to the Arriver Business or QUALCOMM, it shall not be an Excluded Third Party Claim); provided, further, that in no event shall such control of the defense be deemed to be an admission or assumption of liability on the part of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of such claim in accordance herewith: (x) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, but the Indemnitor shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof; (y) the Indemnitee shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (z) the Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee unless (A) such judgment or settlement does not provide for any admission of liability by any Indemnitee, (B) the judgment or settlement provides solely for the payment of money by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor makes such payment and (C) the Indemnitee receives an unconditional release with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with Third Party Claims, and cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnitor has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d)            If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claims Notice, the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume such defense upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnitor and will be entitled recover the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense from the Indemnitor to the extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article X; provided, however, that the Indemnitor (i) shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense; and (ii) shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

10.4            Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. The Arriver Indemnitee or Non-Arriver Indemnitee, as applicable, will deliver a Claims Notice to the Indemnitor promptly upon its discovery of any matter for which the Indemnitor may be liable to the Indemnitee hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim; provided, that failure to promptly give such notification will not waive the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that such failure to give such notification results in (a) the forfeiture by the Indemnitor of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnitor with respect to such claim or (b) prejudice to the Indemnitor with respect to such claim. The Arriver Indemnitee or Non-Arriver Indemnitee, as applicable, shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnitor in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnitee and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters, all at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense.

10.5            Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except with respect to claims for equitable relief, claims arising from Fraud or claims for breaches of any payment obligation under this Agreement (except the indemnification obligations under this Article X), the indemnification provisions of this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parties following the Arriver Sale Closing for any and all breaches or alleged breaches of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties in this Agreement or in any certificate to be delivered in connection with this Agreement.

10.6            Calculation of Losses; Limitations.

(a)            The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be (i) net of any reserves, liability accruals or other provisions that are specifically identifiable as being for such Loss on the face of the financial statements of the Indemnitee (including the notes thereto), (ii) net of any amounts (net of all Liabilities incurred in connection with insurance recovery) actually recovered by any Indemnitee from third parties under insurance policies (which for the avoidance of doubt shall exclude self-insurance) (and each Indemnitee shall use reasonable best efforts to recover such amounts under applicable third party insurance policies), (iii) (A) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnitee or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of the incurrence of any such Loss and (B) increased to take account of any net Tax detriment actually realized (including as a result of the taxability of any indemnity payment) by the Indemnitee or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of the incurrence of any such Loss, in each case determined on a “with-and-without” basis. If the Indemnitee subsequently recovers any such amounts after having received indemnification payments hereunder, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay such amounts over to the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall pay to the Indemnitee the amount of any Loss for which it is liable hereunder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account specified by the Indemnitee no later than five (5) Business Days following any Final Determination of the claims set forth in the related Claims Notice.

(b)            Under no circumstances shall any Indemnitee be entitled to be indemnified for speculative, consequential, lost profit or punitive damages except to the extent either (i) such Losses were payable pursuant to a Third Party Claim; or (ii) such Losses were reasonably foreseeable.

(c)            The party seeking indemnification under this Article X shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss which forms the basis of an indemnification claim hereunder.

11.6            Exhibits and Schedules.

(a)            Any matter, information or item disclosed in the Schedules delivered under any specific representation or warranty or Schedule number hereof, shall be deemed to have been disclosed for all purposes of this Agreement in response to every representation and warranty in this Agreement in respect of which such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face. The inclusion of any matter, information or item in any Schedule to this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute an admission of any liability to any third party or otherwise imply, that any such matter, information or item is material or creates a measure for materiality for the purposes of this Agreement, including that consent or notice is required in connection with the Merger Transactions and the Non-Arriver Extraction. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party hereto shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)            The Schedules and Exhibits hereto are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement.

11.7            Waiver. Waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement by any Party shall only be effective if in writing and shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or failure of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, no failure or delay by any Party or Veoneer in exercising any right or privilege in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

11.8            Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. No Party may assign or delegate, by operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of its rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which consent any such Party may withhold in its absolute discretion. Any purported assignment without such prior written consents shall be void.

11.9            No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights, remedies or claims upon any Person or entity not a Party or a permitted assignee of a Party, except that (i) the Indemnitees shall be third party beneficiaries of the provisions of Article X; and (ii) Veoneer shall be an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement only for the purposes of Sections 2.3 and 2.4. Veoneer shall not be a third-party beneficiary for any purpose other than as expressly set forth in this Section 11.9, including without limitation for any claim for monetary damages under this Agreement.

11.10            No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger Transactions and the Non-Arriver Extraction, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as Parties hereto, and no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith may be had against any past, present or future Affiliate, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder or holder of any equity interests, agent, attorney or other Representative of any Party that is not a Party itself (each, a “Related Person”), and no Related Person has any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Parties or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger Transactions and the Non-Arriver Extraction. Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 11.10 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted or otherwise conceivable under applicable Law, each Party hereby (a) waives, releases and disclaims any and all claims based on, in respect of, or by reason of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger Transactions and the Non-Arriver Extraction, against all Related Persons, including any claims to avoid or disregard the entity form of any Party or otherwise seek to impose any liability arising out of, relating to or in connection with a claim on any Related Person, whether a claim granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise, and (b) disclaims any reliance upon any Related Person with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement.

11.11            Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original as regards any Party whose signature appears thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile signatures or signatures received as a pdf attachment to electronic mail shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all Parties reflected hereon as signatories.

11.12            Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any claim or controversy hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

11.13            Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. Any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger Transactions and the Non-Arriver Extraction may only be instituted in the Delaware Court of Chancery within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court in the State of Delaware), and each party waives any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit or proceeding.

11.14            WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.14.

11.15            Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any Party does not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other Parties and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

11.16            Severability. If any term, provision, agreement, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger Transactions and the Non-Arriver Extraction is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger Transactions and the Non-Arriver Extraction may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

11.17            Interpretation. The Parties have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and have participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties thereto and no presumption of burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening any Party by virtue of the authorship or drafting history of any provision in this Agreement.
