     4.9 Title; Sufficiency.

          (b) The Purchased Assets include all of the Intellectual Property owned by Seller that is primarily used in or necessary to exploit the Seller Products and Services as currently exploited by Seller, other than the Excluded Assets.
     4.10 Intellectual Property.
          (a) Schedule 1.1(a) lists all Transferred Intellectual Property with respect to the Business. The Seller Products and Services are all of the products and services that are currently licensed, sold, published, offered, or under development by Seller in connection with the Business. With respect to each United States Patent set forth on Schedules 1.1(a) and 3.2(h), the corresponding foreign counterpart Patents to such United States Patent are accurately set forth. There are no Patents filed by Seller or any Subsidiary related to any Anti-Theft Products and Services or Proximity-based Anti-Theft Products and Services which are unpublished patent applications and are not set forth on Schedules 1.1(a) and 3.2(h).
          (b) Seller has no Knowledge of any prior art references or prior public uses, sales, offers for sale or disclosures which could reasonably be expected to invalidate any Transferred Intellectual Property, or any claim thereof, or of any conduct the result of which could reasonably be expected to render any Transferred Intellectual Property or any claim thereof invalid or unenforceable. To the Knowledge of Seller, the original, first and joint inventors of the subject matter claimed in the patents and patent applications included in the Transferred Intellectual Property are properly represented in such patents and patent applications. Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries have knowingly misrepresented, or knowingly failed to disclose, any facts or circumstances in any application for any Seller Registered Intellectual

11


 

Property that would constitute fraud or a misrepresentation with respect to such application or that would otherwise affect the enforceability of any Seller Registered Intellectual Property. The Transferred Patents are assignable to Purchaser at the Closing.
          (c) To the Seller’s Knowledge, all Seller Registered Intellectual Property is valid, subsisting, in full force and effect (except with respect to applications), and has not expired or been cancelled or abandoned. All necessary registration, maintenance and renewal fees have been paid, and all necessary documents and certificates in connection with such Seller Registered Intellectual Property have been filed with the relevant patent, copyright, trademark or other equivalent authorities in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, as the case may be, for the purposes of perfecting, prosecuting and maintaining such Seller Registered Intellectual Property. There are no actions that must be taken by Purchaser or by Seller or their respective Subsidiaries within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Closing Date, including, with respect to each item of Seller Registered Intellectual Property and the Transferred Patents, the payment of any registration, maintenance or renewal fees or the filing of any documents, applications or certificates for the purposes of maintaining, perfecting or preserving or renewing any such Intellectual Property.
          (d) Seller is the sole and exclusive beneficial and record owner of all Transferred Intellectual Property and Licensed Intellectual Property free and clear of any Encumbrances, including all works of authorship and all associated copyrights that are used or embodied in, such Intellectual Property, and except under an Out-License (as defined below), no other Person has any other rights thereto. Seller has the requisite power and authority to grant to Purchaser the licenses to the Licensed Intellectual Property that are expressly set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that without limiting other provisions of this Agreement, this sentence is not intended to be and shall not be construed as any form of covenant, representation or warranty as to infringement of any third party’s Intellectual Property by the Licensed Intellectual Property. To the Knowledge of Seller, Seller is not obligated to provide any consideration (whether financial or otherwise) to any third party, nor is any third party otherwise entitled to any consideration, with respect to any exercise of rights by Seller in Transferred Intellectual Property. The Transferred Intellectual Property along with the Licensed Intellectual Property that is licensed to Purchaser pursuant to this Transaction constitutes all the Intellectual Property owned by or licensed to Seller that is primarily used in or necessary to conduct the Business as it is currently conducted, other than non-exclusive licenses to commercially available off-the-shelf software entered into in the ordinary course. Schedule 4.10(d) lists all Contracts pursuant to which a third party has licensed Intellectual Property to Seller that are necessary to the Seller Products and Services, other than non-exclusive licenses to commercially available off-the-shelf software entered into in the ordinary course (“In-Licenses”).
          (e) Schedule 4.10(e) lists (i) all Contracts pursuant to which Seller has granted a third party a license to or covenant not to sue with respect to any Transferred Intellectual Property (other than non-exclusive licenses, granted to end user customers in the ordinary course in connection with the sale or licensing of the Seller Products and Services, that do not materially differ in substance from the Seller’s standard forms of end-user licenses (copies of which have been provided to Purchaser)) and (ii) all Contracts pursuant to which a third party has been granted any ownership rights (including any exclusive license rights) in any portion of software

12


 

that is or has been incorporated in or bundled with the Seller Products and Services (subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.10(e), collectively, the “Out-Licenses,” and together with the In-Licenses, the “IP Licenses”). Seller is in material compliance with and has not materially breached, violated or defaulted under, or received notice that it has materially breached, violated or defaulted under, any of the terms or conditions of any IP License, nor does Seller have Knowledge of any event or occurrence that could reasonably be expected to constitute such a material breach, violation or default (with or without the lapse of time, giving of notice or both). To Seller’s Knowledge, each such IP License is in full force and effect and Seller is not in material default thereunder, nor to the Knowledge of Seller is any party obligated to Seller pursuant to any such agreement in material default thereunder. Following the Closing Date, subject to receipt of any Assignment Consents, to Seller’s Knowledge, Purchaser will be permitted to exercise all of Seller’s rights under such IP Licenses to the same extent Seller would have been able to had the Transaction not occurred and without the payment of any additional amounts or consideration other than fees, royalties or payments which Seller would otherwise have been required to pay had the Transaction not occurred.
          (f) There is no pending nor has Seller received written notice of any threatened (and at no time within the two (2) years prior to the date of this Agreement has there been pending any) Proceeding before any court, government agency or arbitral tribunal in any jurisdiction challenging the use, ownership, validity, enforceability or registerability of any Transferred Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property. Seller is not a party to any settlements, covenants not to sue, consents, decrees, stipulations, judgments or orders resulting from Proceedings which permit third parties to use any Transferred Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property.
          (g) To Seller’s Knowledge, Seller owns, or has valid rights to use all of the Intellectual Property used or held for use in, or necessary to conduct the Business as currently conducted.
          (h) To Seller’s Knowledge, the Transferred Intellectual Property and Licensed Intellectual Property do not infringe, dilute, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property or other proprietary right owned by any third party, or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction.
          (i) There is no pending nor has Seller received written notice of any threatened (and at no time within the two (2) years prior to the date of this Agreement has there been pending or threatened any) action, suit, claim or proceeding alleging that any of the Transferred Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property infringes, dilutes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates or constitutes the unauthorized use of, or will infringe, dilute, misappropriate, or otherwise violate or constitute the unauthorized use of the Intellectual Property of any third party (nor does the Seller have Knowledge of any basis therefor). Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any settlement, covenant not to sue, consent, decree, stipulation, judgment, or order resulting from any Proceeding which (i) restricts the rights of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to use any Transferred Intellectual Property, (ii) impairs the Transferred Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property in order to accommodate a third party’s Intellectual Property or (iii) requires any future payment by the Seller or any of its

13


 

Subsidiaries for use of the Transferred Intellectual Property. Seller has not received any written communication from any third party offering to license to Seller any Intellectual Property for use in the Business, other than as contained in advertisements to license generally commercially available software. There are no Contracts between Seller or any of its Subsidiaries and any third party with respect to the Transferred Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property under which there is any material dispute regarding the scope of such Contract or performance under such Contract, including with respect to any payments to be made or received by Seller and its Subsidiaries thereunder.
          (j) To Seller’s Knowledge, no third party, Employee or former Employee is infringing, diluting, misappropriating, or otherwise violating or engaged in the unauthorized use of any Transferred Intellectual Property, and no actions, suits, claims or proceedings have been brought against any third party by Seller alleging that a third party is infringing, diluting, misappropriating, or otherwise violating or engaged in the unauthorized use of any Transferred Intellectual Property.
          (k) Seller and each of its Subsidiaries has taken commercially reasonable steps to obtain, maintain and protect the Transferred Intellectual Property, including requiring each current and former employee who has made material contributions to the development of any Transferred Intellectual Property to execute a legally enforceable and binding intellectual property rights assignment and nondisclosure agreement (in each case, which agreement does not materially differ in form or substance from Seller’s standard form which has been provided by Seller to Purchaser) under which such employee has not retained and does not have any rights or licenses with respect to the Transferred Intellectual Property. Other than under an appropriate confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement or contractual provision relating to confidentiality and nondisclosure, there has been no disclosure to any third party of material confidential information or Trade Secrets of Seller that is used in the Transferred Intellectual Property. All consultants and independent contractors who have made contributions to the development of any Transferred Intellectual Property (including all consultants and independent contractors who have designed, written, tested or worked on any software code contained in any Seller Products and Services) have entered into a work-made-for-hire agreement or have otherwise assigned to Seller (or a third party that previously conducted any business currently conducted by Seller and that has assigned its rights in such Transferred Intellectual Property to Seller) all of their right, title and interest (other than moral rights, if any) in and to the portions of such Transferred Intellectual Property developed by them in the course of their work for Seller. Assignments to Seller of the patents, patent applications, copyrights and copyright applications listed in Schedules 1.1(a) and 3.2(h) have been duly executed and filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or Copyright Office, or any equivalent foreign authority, as applicable.
          (l) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.10(l), neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has granted nor is Seller or any of its Subsidiaries obligated to grant access or a license to any of the Source Code of the portions of the Seller Products and Services included in the Transferred Assets (including in any such case any conditional right to access or under which Seller has established any escrow arrangement for the storage and conditional release of any of its Source Code). The execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in a release of any of the Seller Products and

14


 

Services Source Code. The Source Code for all Seller Products and Services that include software has been documented in a professional manner that is both: (i) consistent with customary code annotation conventions and best practices in the software industry; and (ii) sufficient to independently enable a programmer of reasonable skill and competence to understand, analyze, and interpret program logic, correct errors and improve, enhance, modify and support the Seller Products and Services.
          (m) Schedule 4.10(m) accurately identifies (i) each item of Open Source Software that is contained in any of the Seller Products and Services or from which any part of any of the Seller Products and Services are derived, (ii) the applicable license for each such item of Open Source Software, (iii) the Seller Products and Services to which each such item of Open Source Software relates, and (iv) a high level description of the manner in which such Open Source Software is used. None of the Seller Products and Services are subject to the provisions of any Open Source Software license or similar Contract which requires or conditions the use or distribution of such Seller Products and Services on (A) any requirement to license such Seller Products and Services or any portion thereof for the purpose of making modifications or derivative works, (B) any requirement to distribute such Seller Products and Services or any portion thereof without charge, (C) the disclosure, licensing or distribution of any Source Code of any Seller Products and Services, or (D) except as specifically permitted by law, permitting any Person to decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse-engineer any Seller Products and Services.
          (n) Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any Contract under which a third party would have or would be entitled to receive a license or any other right to any Intellectual Property of Purchaser or any Purchaser Affiliates as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement nor would the consummation of such transactions result in the amendment or alteration of any such license or other right which exists on the date of this Agreement.
          (o) None of Seller’s professional services agreements with its customers, agreements with merchants, agreements with outside consultants for the performance of professional services on the behalf of Seller, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective customers, nor any agreement or license with any end user or reseller of Seller Products and Services confers upon any Person other than Seller any ownership right with respect to any Transferred Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property developed in connection with such agreement or license.
          (p) Seller and its Subsidiaries have not (i) transferred ownership of any Transferred Intellectual Property to any Person, except to Purchaser as part of this Transaction; or (ii) granted any exclusive license with respect to any Transferred Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property.
          (q) Seller has provided to Purchaser a complete and accurate list that, to the Knowledge of Seller, lists all known bugs, defects, and errors in the current version of the Seller Products and Services. The Seller Products and Services do not contain any bugs, defects errors

          (s) Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received or requested an opinion letter from counsel that any Transferred Intellectual Property infringes or misappropriates, or would infringe or misappropriate, the Intellectual Property of any third party.
          (t) No person other than the Seller has ownership rights or license rights to an improvement made by or for the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in any Transferred Intellectual Property. All Transferred Intellectual Property will be fully transferable, alienable or licensable by Purchaser or the Seller without restriction and without payment of any kind to any third party.
          (u) The Seller and its Subsidiaries have not authorized joint ownership of any Transferred Intellectual Property to any other Person.
          (v) Other than non-exclusive licenses and related agreements with respect thereto of the Seller Products and Services to end-users pursuant to written agreements that have been entered into in the ordinary course of business that do not materially differ in substance from the Seller’s standard form(s) of end-user license including attachments (copies of which have been provided to Purchaser), Schedule 4.10(v) lists all Contracts between the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any other person, on the other hand, with respect to the Business, wherein or whereby the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries have agreed to, or assumed, any obligation or duty to warrant, indemnify, reimburse, hold harmless, guaranty or otherwise assume or incur any obligation or liability or provide a right of rescission with respect to the infringement or misappropriation by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or such other person of the Intellectual Property of any person other than the Seller or its Subsidiary.

The Seller and each of its Subsidiaries takes reasonable measures to ensure that such information is protected against unauthorized access, use, modification, and other misuse. The execution, delivery and

performance of this Agreement comply with all applicable laws relating to privacy and the privacy policies of the Seller and each of its Subsidiaries.
          (x) No government funding, facilities of a university, college, other educational institution or research center was used in the development of any Transferred Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property.

     6.1 Transferred Intellectual Property.
          (a) Seller’s rights to any Transferred Intellectual Property shall be governed by the Patent License, the Government Contract License and the licenses in Section 6.11. If Seller or any assignee of Seller owns or has any right or interest in any Transferred Intellectual Property that cannot be, or for any reason is not, assigned to Purchaser at the Closing, Seller (i) shall provide Purchaser with a reasonably detailed list of all such Transferred Intellectual Property; (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the assignment as promptly as practicable after the Closing and (iii) hereby grants to Purchaser, at the Closing, a worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sub-licensable and exclusive license to exercise all rights in and to such Transferred Intellectual Property.
          (b) If Purchaser is unable to enforce the Transferred Intellectual Property transferred to it hereunder against a third party as a result of any Legal Requirement that prohibits enforcement of such rights by a transferee of such rights, Seller agrees to assign, to the extent legally practicable, to Purchaser such rights as may be required by Purchaser to enforce its Intellectual Property rights in its own name.
     6.2 Cooperation. After the Closing, upon the request of Purchaser, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to (a) execute and deliver any and all further materials, documents and instruments of conveyance, transfer or assignment as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser to effect, record or verify the transfer to, and vesting in Purchaser, of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (b) deliver any and all further materials necessary for Purchaser to own and use the Purchased Assets in the manner in which the Purchased Assets have been used prior to the Closing; (c) subject to Seller’s reasonable business judgment with respect to Seller’s business interests, cooperate, to the extent necessary, with Purchaser to contest or defend against any Proceeding relating to the Transaction or to the operation and ownership of the Purchased Assets before the Closing Date; and (d) cooperate fully with Purchaser in the application for and prosecution of any Patent applications included in the Transferred Intellectual Property, and to the extent within Seller’s control, cause any inventors listed on such Patent applications to similarly cooperate in such application and prosecution. Neither Seller nor any of its Representatives shall take any action that is intended and designed to diminish the value of the Purchased Assets after the Closing or to interfere with Purchaser’s ownership and operation of the Purchased Assets after the Closing, including disparaging to customers the name or business of Purchaser.
     6.3 Return of Purchased Assets. If, for any reason after the Closing, any of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities are ultimately determined to be Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities, respectively, (a) Purchaser shall transfer and convey (without further consideration) to Seller, and Seller shall accept, such Purchased Assets, (b) Seller shall assume, and agree to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge (without further consideration) such Assumed

22


 

Liabilities, and (c) Purchaser and Seller shall execute such documents or instruments of conveyance or assumption and take such further acts which are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transfer of such Purchased Assets back to Seller and the re-assumption of such Assumed Liabilities by Seller.
     6.4 Records and Documents. For a period of [***] after the Closing, from time to time and at Purchaser’s reasonable request and sole expense, Seller shall provide Purchaser and its representatives with reasonable access to and the right to make copies of those records and documents (including, without limitation, Tax Returns and other documents relating to Taxes) related to the Purchased Assets, possession of which is retained by Seller, as is reasonably necessary. If during such period Seller elects to dispose of any such records and documents, Seller shall give Purchaser sixty (60) days’ prior written notice, during which period Purchaser shall have the right to take such records and documents without further consideration, provided such is permitted by Legal Requirements and that Seller will incur no Liability in connection therewith.
     6.5 Trademarks and Domain Names. Except as necessary to fulfill Seller’s obligations under the Government Contract and Seller Contracts (but only for the duration of such Contracts), from and after the Closing, Seller shall not use and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to use, any of the names listed on Schedule 6.5 in connection with the advertising, marketing, sale, licensing or other distribution of any products or services of Seller or its Subsidiaries. Seller shall also shutdown all websites exclusively used to advertise, market, sell, license or otherwise distribute Seller Products and Services; provided, however, that Seller shall transfer to Purchaser all rights in www.failsafe.com and www.phoenixfreeze.com as a Purchased Asset pursuant to Section 1.1(a). Seller shall remove all Trademarks, trade names, references, links and logos of the Seller Products and Services on Seller’s websites now in existence or hereafter created, including but not limited to www.phoenix.com. Seller irrevocably and perpetually covenants not to sue Purchaser or any Purchaser Affiliate for any use of any of the names listed on Schedule 6.5 in connection with the advertising, marketing, sale, licensing or other distribution of any products or services of Purchaser or a Purchaser Affiliate.
     6.6 Bulk Sales Laws. Purchaser and Seller hereby waive compliance by Purchaser and Seller with the Bulk Sales Laws and any other similar Legal Requirement in any applicable jurisdiction in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements; provided, however, that Seller shall pay and discharge when due all claims of creditors asserted against Purchaser or the Purchased Assets by reason of such noncompliance and shall take promptly all necessary actions required to remove any Lien which may be placed upon any of the Purchased Assets by reason of such noncompliance.
     6.7 Non-Competition.
          (a) For and in consideration of the Transaction contemplated herein, during the period commencing with the Closing Date and ending on the [***] anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”) and except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.7, Seller shall not directly or indirectly (including through any Subsidiary) engage in any Competitive Activity anywhere in the world.
*** CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION

23


 

          (b) The term “Competitive Activity” shall mean (i) engaging in any development, marketing, selling, licensing or distribution that is directly competitive with any Anti-Theft Products and Services or with any Proximity-based Anti-Theft Products and Services; (ii) engaging in [***] including, but not limited to, [***]; (iii) enabling or otherwise using [***] or provide or develop [***], during the Non-Compete Period; provided however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.7, Seller may during the Non-Compete Period, in connection with and in the ordinary course of its [***]; (iv) diverting or attempting to divert from Purchaser or any Subsidiary of Purchaser any business of any kind in which they are engaged in connection with the Seller Products and Services or other Anti-Theft Products and Services, including the solicitation of or interference with any suppliers, contractors, or customers; or (v) having a financial interest in any Anti-Theft Products and Services that directly compete with the Seller Products and Services, except as expressly permitted in this Section 6.7.
          (c) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.7(b), during the Non-Compete Period, Seller shall not [***]. If Seller [***],
*** CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION

24


 

Seller shall promptly [***] (including, but not limited to, [***]); provided, however, in no event will Seller [***].
          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the Non-Compete Period will automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (A) the [***] anniversary of the Closing Date, and (B) [***] months after Seller is acquired by a third party (the “Seller Acquirer”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties also agree that (i) the foregoing non-competition restriction in (b)(v) above shall not apply to any Seller Acquirer; and (ii) the foregoing non-competition restrictions and the Non-Compete Period shall not in any way apply to any license agreements between Seller Acquirer and a third party that exist prior to such acquisition, nor to any Anti-Theft Products and Services of Seller Acquirer that are commercially available or under development prior to such acquisition; provided, that, prior to the termination of the Non-Compete Period, any such development does not rely on or use any Intellectual Property (excluding Patents) developed by or on behalf of Seller that is embodied or used in Seller Products and Services (or any portion thereof). For purposes of this Section 6.7(d), Seller is acquired by a third party if any transaction, or series of related transactions, occurs involving the direct or indirect (a) transfer of at least 51% of the outstanding equity securities of Seller (excluding open market transfers by or to holders of less than 10% of the outstanding equity securities of Seller); (b) acquisition of 51% or more of the outstanding equity securities of Seller by an individual (or legal representative), corporation, a trust, a partnership or an unincorporated association, syndicate or organization, and their affiliates, or (c) transfer of a controlling interest in all or substantially all of the intellectual property, assets or business of Seller and the Subsidiaries of Seller taken as a whole (each, a “Seller Sale”).
          (e) Nothing contained herein shall limit Seller or its Subsidiaries (A) from acquiring (including through a merger) or investing in any Person whose business activities do not constitute a Competitive Activity in substantial part, provided that in the case of any acquisition consummated [***] or more months prior to the expiration of the Non-Compete Period, any Competitive Activity is divested by Seller as promptly as practicable and in any event within [***], or (B) from, directly or indirectly, holding or making investments in securities of any business listed on a national securities exchange, admitted to trading in an automated quotations market, or traded generally on the over-the-counter market, so long as Seller’s direct or indirect holdings do not exceed 5% of the outstanding equity securities thereof.
          (f) It is the understanding of the parties that the scope of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 is necessary to protect the rights of Purchaser and the Purchaser’s rights in and to the Purchased Assets. It is the parties’ intention that these covenants be enforced to the greatest extent (but to no greater extent) in time, area, and degree of participation as is permitted by applicable law. The prohibitions in each of paragraphs (a)-(d) above shall be deemed, and shall be construed as separate and independent agreements between Purchaser on the one hand, and Seller on the other. If any such agreement or any part of such agreement is

25


 

held invalid, void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall in no way render invalid, void, or unenforceable any other part of them or any separate agreement not declared invalid, void or unenforceable; and this Agreement shall in such case be construed as if the invalid, void, or unenforceable provisions were omitted.
          (g) The parties agree that, in the event of breach or threatened breach of Seller’s covenants in this Section 6.7, the damage or imminent damage to the value and the goodwill of Purchaser and the Purchased Assets may be irreparable and extremely difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Accordingly, the parties agree that Purchaser shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against Seller in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any of such covenants by Seller, in addition to any other relief (including damages) available to Purchaser under this Agreement or under applicable law.
          (h) The parties agree that the covenants of Seller not to compete contained in this Section 6.7 may be assigned by Purchaser to any Person to whom may be transferred the Seller Products and Services by the sale or transfer of the Purchased Assets of Seller (as acquired by Purchaser under this Agreement) or otherwise, other than [***]. It is the parties’ intention that these covenants of Seller shall inure to the benefit of any Person that may succeed to the Purchased Assets of Seller (as acquired by Purchaser under this Agreement), other than [***], with the same force and effect as if these covenants were made directly with such successor.
          (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the covenants of Seller not to compete contained in this Section 6.7 shall not apply to Seller’s activities with respect to the Government Contract under the Government Contract License.
     6.8 Nondisclosure.
          (a) After the Closing Date, except as may be required for tax purposes or other regulatory purposes or as may be required to fulfill Seller’s obligations under the Government Contract, any Support and Maintenance Services and the Seller Contracts as contemplated by the Government Contract License and Section 6.11, (i) neither Seller nor any Subsidiary of Seller or any of their successors and assigns shall use, publish or disclose to any others any confidential or proprietary information (including Trade Secrets) contained or embodied in the Transferred Intellectual Property or the Books and Records, and (ii) Seller and its Subsidiaries will take commercially reasonable efforts to destroy any such confidential or proprietary information (including Trade Secrets) that is retained by them in any form or any medium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.8(a), neither Seller nor any Subsidiary of Seller shall have any obligations with respect to the confidential or proprietary information referenced in this Section 6.8(a) that (a) is or becomes generally known to the public without fault of Seller or its Subsidiaries, (b) is independently developed by Seller or its Subsidiaries without use of such confidential or proprietary information and in compliance with Section 6.7, or (c) is rightfully obtained by Seller or its Subsidiaries from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality to Purchaser.
*** CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION

26


 

          (b) The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall continue in full force and effect after the Closing; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to Purchaser’s obligations only in respect of that portion of the Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) exclusively relating to the Business and the Purchased Assets (the ownership of which will have been transferred to Purchaser). Each of Purchaser and Seller shall protect and treat the confidential and proprietary information (including Trade Secrets) of the other party with at least the same care, and to such extent, as it does with respect to its own confidential and proprietary information (including Trade Secrets) of like nature.
     6.9 No Contest of Validity. Seller irrevocably covenants that it will not, in any forum, contest or assist in the contest of the validity or enforceability of, or Purchaser’s rights to, any of the Transferred Intellectual Property or the Licensed Intellectual Property; provided, however, that (a) in the case of Transferred Intellectual Property, such covenant is limited to the term of protection afforded under applicable law, (b) in the case of Licensed Intellectual Property, such covenant is limited to the term of the applicable license, and (c) such covenant shall not apply to the extent Purchaser (or any other party that obtains rights to the Transferred Intellectual Property) asserts an infringement action against Seller based on any of the foregoing Transferred Intellectual Property.
     6.10 Intentionally Omitted.
     6.11 Notices of Termination and Licenses for Seller Contracts. Within [***] after the Closing, Seller shall deliver to each counterparty to a Contract of Seller that involves the sale, license or other provision of Seller Products and Services, including any Out-Licenses (each a “Seller Contract”), and as listed on Schedule 6.11, any notice required under such Seller Contracts to terminate any terms, amendments, addendums or other agreements therein to provide Seller Products and Services to such counterparty or their customers (“Termination Notices”). Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall ensure that [***] they are no longer in effect after [***] days following the delivery of the Termination Notices. The Termination Notices shall be in a form mutually agreeable to the parties. Seller shall generally be responsible for all administrative and legal costs, fees and expenses connected with the Termination Notices and any amendment of its existing Seller Contracts to accommodate the requirements of this Section 6.11, other than costs, fees and expenses of Purchaser and its counsel to review the Termination Notices. Purchaser hereby grants to Seller a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, worldwide license (without rights to sublicense) to exploit the Seller Products and Services solely to fulfill Seller’s obligations under the Seller Contracts for [***] days following the delivery of the Termination Notices. Seller agrees to retain a copy of the Source Code and Object Code for the Seller Products and Services (subject to all of the confidentiality and non-disclosure restrictions herein) for such [***] day period for the purpose of Purchaser confirming the delivery of all such Source Code and Object Code pursuant to this Agreement and as further stated in Section 6.2. After such period (but in no event more than [***] days after the Closing), Seller agrees to promptly destroy the Seller Products and Services for such Contracts, including all Source Code and Object Code and related

documentation that is Transferred Intellectual Property, and certify such destruction in a writing promptly delivered to Purchaser.
     6.12 Employee Benefit Plans. Seller shall be solely responsible for all obligations and liabilities arising under or with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans. Purchaser shall not assume any of the Employee Benefit Plans or any obligation or liability thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall be solely responsible for all severance and similar obligations under any Employee Benefit Plan that become payable as a result of the termination of employment of any Employee or other service provider in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
     6.13 Software Code Licenses to Purchaser.
          (a) Source Code License. Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except solely in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of Purchasers’ assets that relate to the Transferred Intellectual Property), irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-sublicensable, internal-use-only license to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, and display the Source Code of the software programs set forth on Exhibit B (the “Licensed Source Code”), but only for purposes of (1) modifying such Licensed Source Code to create derivative works; (2) creating and compiling such derivative works for internal testing and evaluation; and (3) correcting defects in such derivative works. Purchaser agrees that it shall not, nor allow any third party to, (x) sublicense, sell, or otherwise distribute the Licensed Source Code or any derivative work of the Licensed Source Code, in whole or in part, under any circumstances, except as otherwise authorized by Seller in writing, (y) access and use the Licensed Source Code at a facility that is not a Purchaser-owned or leased facility, or (z) alter or remove the copyright notice contained in any Licensed Source Code.
               (i) Any modifications or derivative works to the Licensed Source Code created by Purchaser will be the property of Purchaser, subject to Seller’s and its supplier’s intellectual property rights in the underlying Licensed Source Code (including any modifications or derivative works created by or on behalf of Seller).
          (b) Object Code License. Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free, fully paid up, non-terminable, irrevocable, perpetual, assignable (but solely in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of Purchaser’s assets that relate to the Transferred Intellectual Property), sublicenseable license to all Object Code compiled from the Licensed Source Code set forth on Exhibit B (“Licensed Object Code”) for purposes of reproducing, having reproduced, performing, modifying, displaying and distributing all such Object Code. Purchaser agrees that, at such time as such Object Code is distributed with Purchaser’s products and services, Purchaser agrees to include in the applicable license agreement a notice that certain portions of such products and services may include intellectual property from Seller.
          (c) Independent Contractor Access. For avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s independent contractors are permitted to exercise Purchaser’s rights under this Section 6.13 provided they are bound by confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those imposed in Section 6.8 herein.

28


 

     6.14 Software Code License to Seller.
          (a) Source Code License. Purchaser hereby grants to Seller a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except solely in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of Sellers’ assets), irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-sublicensable, internal-use-only license to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, and display the Source Code set forth on Exhibit C (the “Licensed-Back Source Code”), but only for purposes of (1) modifying such Licensed-Back Source Code to create derivative works; (2) creating and compiling such derivative works for internal testing and evaluation; and (3) correcting defects in such derivative works. Seller agrees that it shall not, nor allow any third party to, (x) sublicense, sell, or otherwise distribute the Licensed-Back Source Code or any derivative work of the Licensed-Back Source Code, in whole or in part, under any circumstances, except as otherwise authorized by Purchaser in writing, (y) access and use the Licensed-Back Source Code at a facility that is not a Seller-owned or leased facility, or (z) alter or remove the copyright notice contained in any Licensed-Back Source Code.
               (i) Any modifications or derivative works to the Licensed-Back Source Code created by Seller will be the property of Seller, subject to Purchaser’s and its supplier’s intellectual property rights in the underlying Licensed-Back Source Code (including any modifications or derivative works created by or on behalf of Purchaser).
          (b) Object Code License. Purchaser hereby grants to Seller a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free, fully paid up, non-terminable, irrevocable, perpetual, assignable (but solely in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of Seller’s assets), sublicenseable license to all Object Code set forth on Exhibit C (the “Licensed-Back Object Code”) for purposes of reproducing, having reproduced, performing, modifying, displaying and distributing all such Licensed-Back Object Code. Seller agrees that, at such time as such Licensed-Back Object Code is distributed with Seller’s products and services, Seller agrees to include in the applicable license agreement a notice that certain portions of such products and services may include intellectual property from Purchaser.
          (c) Independent Contractor Access. For avoidance of doubt, Seller’s independent contractors are permitted to exercise Seller’s rights under this Section 6.14 provided they are bound by confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those imposed in Section 6.8 herein.
ARTICLE 7. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING
     7.1 Conditions to Purchaser’s Obligation to Close. The obligations of Purchaser to consummate the Transaction shall be subject to the satisfaction, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by Purchaser in writing:

The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (and any right to indemnification for breach thereof) shall not be affected by any investigation, verification or examination by any party hereto or by any Representative of any such party or by any such party’s Knowledge of any facts with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of any such representation or warranty.
          (b) The respective covenants, agreements and obligations of Seller and Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation by or on behalf of any party hereto, and the Closing Date in accordance with their respective terms.

30


 

               (i) the failure of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Article 4 (including the Seller Disclosure Schedule) to be true and correct (disregarding for purposes of this Section 8.2(a)(i) any “materiality”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect”, “Knowledge” or similar qualification contained therein or with respect thereto for purposes of calculating the amount of Damages);
               (ii) any failure by Seller to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant as set forth in this Agreement;
               (iii) any Liability arising out of the ownership or operation by Seller of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing; or

          (b) Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 8, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Representatives (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages, whether or not involving a third-party claim, including attorneys’ fees, to the extent arising out of, relating to or resulting from:
               (i) the failure of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in Article 5 to be true and correct (disregarding for purposes of this Section 8.2(b)(i) any “materiality”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect”, “Knowledge” or similar qualification contained therein or with respect thereto for purposes of calculating the amount of Damages);
               (ii) any failure by Purchaser to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant as set forth in this Agreement;

               (iv) any of the Assumed Liabilities.
     8.3 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnities provided in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties for all Damages for which they are entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i); provided that for purposes of clarity, recoveries under 8.2(a)(ii), 8.2(a)(iii), 8.2(a)(iv), 8.2(b)(ii), 8.2(b)(iii) and 8.2(b)(iv) shall not be so limited.
     8.4 Procedure for Indemnification.
          (a) Claims. Promptly after becoming aware of any Damages for which they are entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8.2, such party (an “Indemnified Party”) shall deliver to the party obligated to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”), a

31


 

certificate signed by an appropriately authorized officer thereof (a “Claim Certificate”), (i) stating the aggregate amount of Damages or an estimate thereof, in each case to the extent known or determinable at such time and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued or arose, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach or claim and the section under this Agreement pursuant to which such item is related; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby, and then only to such extent. In the absence of any objections to such Claim Certificate as provided in Section 8.4(b) by the date set forth in Section 8.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Damages in satisfaction of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations.
          (b) Objection to Claim Certificate.
               (i) The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after delivery to it of a Claim Certificate to deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response to such Claim Certificate (a “Claim Response”). If after such thirty (30) day period the Indemnifying Party has not delivered a Claim Response to the Indemnified Party or it has delivered a Claim Response which does not dispute any portion of the claims contained in the Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations in the amount specified in the Claim Certificate shall become final. If the Claim Response disputes any claims contained in the Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith for an additional thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party should so agree, a certificate setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties.
               (ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiations, either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter, and the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by three (3) arbitrators. Within fifteen (15) days after such written notice is sent, the Indemnified Party (on the one hand) and the Indemnifying Party (on the other hand) shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim in the Claim Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement.
               (iii) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be conducted under the commercial rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. Any arbitration shall be held in Seattle, Washington. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association and the expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the prevailing party to the arbitration (as determined by the arbitrator).

32


 

          (c) Third-Party Claims. Promptly after the assertion by any third party of any claim against any Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that, in the judgment of such Indemnified Party, may result in the incurrence by such Indemnified Party of Damages for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice describing in reasonable detail such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby, and then only to such extent. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable in its sole discretion by written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense and control the settlement of such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense, and shall pay the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if the Third-Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (I) is a criminal allegation against the Indemnified Party by a Governmental Authority, (II) involves a claim against the Indemnified Party for injunctive or similar non-monetary relief which, if adversely, determined, would be reasonably expected to materially and adversely impact the continuing business interests or prospects of the Indemnified Party, (III) is reasonably likely to result in a judgment or settlement involving Damages in excess of the remaining amount under the Indemnifying Party’s Indemnification Cap (taking in account any amounts likely to be paid in satisfaction of any pending but unresolved claims for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party), (IV) involves a claim which the Indemnified Party has reasonably determined after consultation with counsel presents a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that prevents an attorney defending such Third-Party Claim from representing the Indemnified Party in a defense controlled by the Indemnifying Party or (V) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to vigorously defend such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense and settlement of any Third-Party Claim not assumed by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to undertake and conduct the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall undertake the defense of such Third-Party Claim. In the event the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement or judgment relates solely to monetary damages and provides for a complete release of the Indemnified Party, in which case, no such consent shall be required and such monetary damages shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle, or consent to the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party elects to defend or prosecute any Third-Party Claim, both parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.
