4.            Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that, as of the Effective Date, the statements in this Section 4 are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make them not misleading under the circumstances in which they were made:

 

(a)               Organization. Seller is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York and has the requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted. Seller is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary.

 

(b)               Authority of Seller; Enforceability. Seller has full limited liability company power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by Seller have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action of Seller, and when executed and delivered by both Parties, this Agreement will constitute a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms and conditions.

 

(c)               No Conflicts; Consents. The execution, delivery, and performance by Seller of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not: (i) violate or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other organizational documents of Seller; (ii) violate or conflict with any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule, or regulation applicable to Seller or the Purchased Assets; (iii) conflict with or result in any violation of or default under, or give rise to a right of termination, acceleration, or modification of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, any contract or other instrument to which this Agreement or any of the Purchased Assets are subject; or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any encumbrances on the Purchased Assets. No consent, approval, waiver, or authorization is required to be obtained by Seller from any person or entity (including any governmental authority) in connection with the execution, delivery, and performance by Seller of this Agreement, or to enable Buyer to register, own, and use the Purchased Assets.

 

3

 

 

(d)               Ownership. Seller owns all right, title, and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets, free and clear of liens, security interests, licenses, covenants not to sue, options, rights of first refusal and other encumbrances or restrictions on use or transfer. Seller is in compliance with all legal requirements applicable to the Purchased Assets and Seller’s ownership and use thereof.

 

(e)               Registrations, Patents and Applications. Schedule 1 contains a correct, current, and complete list of all (i) registrations and applications for registration owned by Seller in the Acquired Marks, and all material unregistered Acquired Marks, and (ii) patents and patent applications included in the Acquired Patents, specifying as to each, as applicable, the word mark and/or design, the title, the record owner, the jurisdiction in which it has been issued or filed, the patent number, registration number or application serial or publication number, and the issue or application filing date. All required filings and fees related to such Acquired Marks and Acquired Patents have been timely filed with and paid to the USPTO and other relevant governmental authorities and authorized registrars, and all such Acquired Marks and Acquired Patents have at all times been and remain in good standing. Seller has provided Buyer with true and complete copies of all Prosecution Records, related to all such Acquired Marks and Acquired Patents.

 

(f)                Validity and Enforceability. The Acquired Marks and Acquired Patents are valid, subsisting, and enforceable in all applicable jurisdictions, and are not subject to any pending or, threatened challenge or claim to the contrary. No event or circumstance (including any failure to exercise adequate quality control or any assignment in gross without the accompanying goodwill) has occurred or exists that has resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, the abandonment of any Acquired Mark or Acquired Patents.

 

(g)               Non-Infringement. The registration, ownership, and exercise of the rights in, to and under the Purchased Assets did not, does not, and to Seller’s knowledge will not infringe or otherwise violate the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any third party or violate any applicable regulation or law, and to Seller’s knowledge, no person has infringed or otherwise violated, or is currently infringing or otherwise violating, any of the Purchased Assets.

 

(h)               Legal Actions. There is no claim, action, suit, proceeding or governmental investigation (“Action”) of any nature pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened against or by Seller: (a) relating to or affecting the Purchased Assets; or (b) that challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or otherwise delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstances exist that may give rise to, or serve as a basis for, any such Action.

(i)                 No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Section 4, Seller has not made and does not make any other express or implied representation or warranty, either written or oral, on behalf of Seller.

(b)               Authority of Buyer; Enforceability. Buyer has full corporate right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the other agreements, documents and instruments described herein or contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery, and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by Buyer have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action of Buyer, and when executed and delivered by both Parties, as applicable, each of the Transaction Documents will constitute a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Buyer enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms and conditions.

 

(c)               No Conflicts; Consents. The execution, delivery, and performance by Buyer of each of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not: (i) violate or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other organizational documents of Buyer; (ii) violate or conflict with any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule, or regulation; or (iii) conflict with or result in any violation of or default under, or give rise to a right of termination, acceleration, or modification of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, any contract or other instrument to which the Buyer is subject.

(a)               Further Assurances. From and after the date hereof, Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances, and assurances, and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the documents to be delivered hereunder.

(b)               Recordation. Without limiting the generality of Section 6(a), Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer such assignments and other documents, certificates, and instruments of conveyance provided by Buyer to Seller that are in a form satisfactory to Buyer and suitable for Buyer’s filing with the USPTO and the registries and other recording governmental authorities in all applicable jurisdictions (including with respect to legalization, notarization, apostille, certification, and other authentication) as reasonably necessary to record and perfect the Assignment and to vest in Buyer all right, title, and interest in, to and under the Acquired Marks and Acquired Patents in accordance with applicable law. Seller shall take such steps and actions, and provide such cooperation and assistance, to Buyer and its successors, assigns, and legal representatives, including the execution and delivery of any affidavits, declarations, oaths, exhibits, assignments, powers of attorney, or other documents, as may be reasonably necessary to effect, evidence, or perfect the assignment of the Acquired Marks and Acquired Patents to Buyer, or any of Buyer’s successors or assigns.

(c)               Cessation of Use. As of the Effective Date, Seller shall cease any and all use or exploitation of the Purchased Assets and shall have no further right to and shall not use, acquire, or own any of the foregoing, or, with respect to the Acquired Marks, any confusingly similar mark or domain name, in any form or manner, including as a business or trade name, domain name, service mark or trademark. Seller, on behalf of itself and its shareholders, owners, agents, employees, directors, and officers, agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, attack, perform, do, or cause any act to be done, that would in any way or manner be detrimental to, injure, challenge, or impair in any way or to any degree: (i) the Purchased Assets, or any variations thereof; (ii) any applications for registration or registrations therefor; (iii) any of the goodwill associated with such Purchased Assets, applications or registrations; (iv) Buyer’s federal, state, common law, foreign, and other rights in, to or under the Purchased Assets, any variations thereof, or any applications or registrations therefor; or (v) the validity and enforceability of any of the foregoing.

 

(d)               Confidentiality. Neither Party shall disclose to any third party (other than their respective employees or agents in their capacity as such) any information with respect to the financial terms of this Agreement, other than as strictly necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement. Seller further agrees: (i) not to use any information that is of a sensitive, proprietary, or confidential nature, whether written or oral, concerning the Purchased Assets or Buyer’s use thereof in the conduct of its business, or otherwise concerning the business, operations, strategies, goods, services, or financials of Buyer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any information with respect to the financial terms of this Agreement) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) other than as strictly necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) not to use any such Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, in any manner to the detriment of Buyer or to obtain any competitive advantage relative to Buyer; and (iii) to maintain such Confidential Information in strict confidence, and not to use or disclose such Confidential Information without Buyer’s prior written consent.

The Parties may cooperate in good faith to agree on public announcements of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall, and each shall cause its respective affiliates not to, publish any press release or make any public statement regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without prior consultation with the other Party and considering in good faith any comments of the other Party, except to the extent that a Party determines in good faith that such consultation or consideration is not practicable as a result of applicable law or legal process. Pending such public statements, each Party shall treat the existence and terms of this Agreement as confidential. This Section 6(e) will not limit public or other filings or statements made in connection with any dispute.

 

7.            Indemnification.

 

(a)               Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, and employees (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, fees, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, the cost of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder, and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or in connection with any third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) related to: (i) any actual or alleged inaccuracy in or breach or non-fulfillment in any material respect of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligation of Seller contained in this Agreement or any document to be delivered hereunder; or (ii) any Excluded Liabilities or Excluded Assets.

 

(b)              Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, and employees (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against all Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third-Party Claim related to any actual or alleged inaccuracy in or breach or non-fulfillment in any material respect of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any document to be delivered hereunder.

 

(c)               Indemnification Procedure. A Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party from which it is seeking indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) upon becoming aware of a Third-Party Claim with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Section 7 (each, an “Indemnified Claim”). The Indemnifying Party shall promptly assume control of the defense and investigation of the Indemnified Claim, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith, in each case at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claim, with counsel of its own choosing and at its own cost and expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Indemnified Claim on any terms or in any manner that adversely affects the rights of any Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such Indemnified Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but no obligation, to defend against such Indemnified Claim, including settling such Indemnified Claim after giving notice to the Indemnifying Party, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate. Neither the Indemnified Party’s failure to perform any obligation under this Section 7(c) nor any act or omission of the Indemnified Party in the defense or settlement of any Indemnified Claim shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result thereof.

(d)               Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained herein and all related rights to indemnification shall continue in full force and effect following the Effective Date.
