Following the Effective Date, but subject to the provisions of this Section 8, Titan shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Braeburn Indemnitees from and against, and compensate and reimburse the Braeburn Indemnitees for, any and all Losses asserted against or incurred by any Braeburn Indemnitee arising out of or related to: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Titan in Section 7, (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct by Titan or any of its Affiliates in the performance by Titan or any of its Affiliates of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, (iii) the manufacturing, use, marketing, sale, Promotion, packaging, labeling, storage or distribution of Licensed Products by Titan, its Affiliates or any of its or their respective licensees or distributors, including any death, personal injury or other product liability arising out of or related to the Licensed Product or (iv) the use by Titan, or any of the Titan Indemnitees of any Braeburn Marks or any Braeburn Background Technology, except in each case to the extent that Titan is obligated to indemnify a Titan Indemnitee for such Losses under Section 8(c). Braeburn shall take, and shall cause the other Braeburn Indemnitees to take, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

 

(d)          Claim Procedure.

 

(i)          Each Party, on behalf of itself and its respective Titan Indemnitees or Braeburn Indemnitees, as applicable (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”), agrees to provide the indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any Proceeding for which such Indemnitee intends to assert a right to indemnification under this Agreement (a “Claim”); provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect each applicable Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (or the corresponding indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations) hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such notice shall contain, with respect to each Claim, such facts and information as are then reasonably available, the estimated amount of Losses, and the specific basis for indemnification hereunder.

 

(ii)         If any Claim is based on any Proceeding by a third party with respect to which the Indemnitee intends to claim any Losses under this Section 8 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitee shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim (the “Third Party Claim Notice”). The indemnifying Party shall have the initial right (but not obligation) to defend, settle or otherwise dispose of any Third Party Claim for which an Indemnitee intends to assert a right to indemnification under this Agreement if the indemnifying Party provides written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 days of the Third Party Claim Notice indicating its intention to assume such defense and acknowledging its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for any Losses to which such Indemnitee may become subject, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and expenses of reasonable investigation relating to such Claim. After written notice to the Indemnitee of the indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party shall have the full authority to conduct such defense and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same and the Indemnitee shall fully cooperate in such defense; provided, however, that the indemnifying Party shall obtain the written consent of each applicable Indemnitee prior to entering into any judgment, compromise or settlement that (A) does not relate solely to monetary damages (other than non-monetary relief incidental to such monetary damages) arising from such Third Party Claim or (B) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Third Party claimant to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect thereof. If the indemnifying Party fails to deliver notice of its intention to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Titan Indemnitee(s) or Braeburn Indemnitee(s), as the case may be, shall have the right to defend, settle or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim; provided, that in such case the Indemnitee shall afford the indemnifying Party an opportunity to participate in such defense, at its cost and expense, and shall consult with the indemnifying Party prior to settling or otherwise disposing of any such Third Party Claim; provided, further, that the Indemnitee shall obtain the written consent of each applicable Indemnitee prior to ceasing to defend, settling or otherwise disposing of the Third Party Claim. If there is a disagreement concerning the obligations of a Party hereunder, either the Indemnitee or the indemnifying Party may initiate litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 11 for purposes of having the matter settled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, if (1) the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnitee that the Indemnitee reasonably determines cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages or (2) the Third Party Claim could reasonably be expected to result in criminal liability. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages, subject to the provisions of this Section 8(d).

9.             Mutual Releases.

 

(a)          Release by Titan. Titan, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, predecessors, successors, and assigns and all others claiming by or through any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Titan Parties”), hereby releases and forever discharges the Braeburn Parties (as defined below) and their respective assigns, attorneys, agents, legal representatives, officers, directors, employees, predecessors, successors, distributors, manufacturers and Affiliates (collectively, the “Braeburn Releasees”) from any and all claims, causes of action, actions, duties, rights, damages, liabilities, losses, and obligations of every kind and manner whatsoever, in law or in equity, judicial or administrative, civil or criminal, whether or not now known, claimed or asserted, which any Titan Party now has, had at any time or may in the future claim to have, against any of the Braeburn Releasees based on, arising out of or related to the License Agreement, any other agreements between the Parties or any other business interactions between the Parties, and based on, arising out of or relating to any actions, omissions, or events prior to the Effective Date (the “Titan Released Claims”); provided, however, that the foregoing release shall not include, and Titan shall retain, all claims, causes of action, actions, duties, rights, damages, liabilities, losses, or obligations (i) arising out of or under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or (ii) that are outstanding payment obligations that have accrued under Section 6.1 or 6.2 of the License Agreement.

 

(b)          Release by Braeburn. Braeburn, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, predecessors, successors, and assigns and all others claiming by or through any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Braeburn Parties”) hereby releases and forever discharges the Titan Parties and their respective assigns, attorneys, agents, legal representatives, officers, directors, employees, predecessors, successors, distributors, manufacturers and Affiliates (collectively, the “Titan Releasees”) from any and all claims, causes of action, actions, duties, rights, damages, liabilities, losses, and obligations of every kind and manner whatsoever, in law or in equity, judicial or administrative, civil or criminal, whether or not now known, claimed or asserted, which any Braeburn Party now has, had at any time or may in the future claim to have, against any of the Titan Releasees based on, arising out of or related to the License Agreement, any other agreements between the Parties or any other business interactions between the Parties, and based on, arising out of or related to any actions, omissions, or events prior to the Effective Date (the “Braeburn Released Claims” and together with the Titan Released Claims, the “Released Claims”); provided, however, that the foregoing release shall not include, and Braeburn shall retain, all claims, causes of action, actions, duties, rights, damages, liabilities, losses, or obligations arising out of or under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

 

 23 

 

 

(c)          Unknown Claims. Each Party further agrees that the releases set forth in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) are specifically applicable to any and all injuries, losses and damages sustained by such Party, whether presently known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen or which may subsequently develop arising out of or relating to the Released Claims. Each Party expressly waives and assumes the risk of any and all claims for damages of which such Party does not know or suspect to exist, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence or otherwise, and which, if known, would materially affect such Party’s decision to enter into this Agreement.

 

(d)          California Code. The Parties understand and agree that all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any other similar statute are hereby expressly waived. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code reads as follows:

 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

 

This waiver of Section 1542 is an essential term of this Agreement without which the agreement would not have been reached.

 

(e)          Covenant Not to Sue.

 

(i)          Except for any action to enforce or for breach of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the Braeburn Parties and the Titan Parties further agree and hereby covenant that they will not, directly or indirectly, on their own behalf or acting on behalf of or through any non-releasing party, initiate or maintain any lawsuit, arbitration or other Proceeding, whether legal or equitable, against any of the Braeburn Releasees or Titan Releasees, as applicable, arising from or related to the Released Claims. Neither the Titan Parties nor the Braeburn Parties will aid or assist any Third Party in any way in investigating, initiating or pursuing any action, suit or cause of action, including any class action suit, with respect to any Released Claim or against any Braeburn Releasees or Titan Releasees, as applicable, including by sharing of experts and/or their reports by providing testimony, unless required to do so by legal process. Each Braeburn Releasee and Titan Releasee may plead this Agreement as a complete defense and bar to any Released Claim brought in contravention hereof.

 

(ii)         In the event a Titan Party brings, causes to bring or assists in bringing a Titan Released Claim or any contribution or indemnification claim based on the License Agreement against any Braeburn Releasee, Titan shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Braeburn Releasee against which or whom such Titan Released Claim or contribution or indemnification claim is brought from and against any and all costs, fees, liabilities, expenses, damages, judgments, interests, debts or losses incurred or suffered in connection therewith, including fees and disbursements of counsel and other professionals and court costs incurred in connection with enforcing the terms of this Section 9(e).

 

 24 

 

 

(iii)        In the event a Braeburn Party brings, causes to bring or assists in bringing a Braeburn Released Claim or any contribution or indemnification claim based on the License Agreement against any Titan Releasee, Braeburn shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Titan Releasee against which or whom such Braeburn Released Claim or contribution or indemnification claim is brought from and against any and all costs, fees, liabilities, expenses, damages, judgments, interests, debts or losses incurred or suffered in connection therewith, including fees and disbursements of counsel and other professionals and court costs incurred in connection with enforcing the terms of this Section 9(e).

 

10.            Miscellaneous

 

(a)          Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all of the Exhibits and Schedules hereto (which are hereby incorporated by reference), and the other Transaction Documents constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements, understandings or arrangements relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

(b)          Controlling Law; Venue; Specific Performance.

 

(i)          This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the doctrine of conflict of laws.

 

(ii)         Any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement must be brought or otherwise commenced solely and exclusively in courts of competent jurisdiction located in the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York. Consistent with the preceding sentence, each of the Parties: (A) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of competent jurisdiction in the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York (and each appellate court located in the State of New York) in connection with any such Proceeding; (B) expressly agrees that the courts of competent jurisdiction in the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York shall be deemed to be a convenient forum; and (C) expressly agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such Proceeding commenced in the courts of competent jurisdiction in the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, any claim that such Party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such Proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court.

 

(iii)        The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party hereby waives (A) any requirement that the other Party post a bond or other security as a condition for obtaining any such relief, and (B) any defenses in any Proceeding for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

 25 

 

 

(c)          Notices.

(ii)         Extraordinary notices and communications (including notices of termination, Force Majeure, material breach, change of address, or any other notices required by this Agreement) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person, or sent by overnight courier service (e.g., FedEx), postage prepaid, or by facsimile confirmed by prepaid registered or certified air mail letter or by overnight express mail (e.g., FedEx), or sent by prepaid certified or registered air mail, return receipt requested, to the following addresses of the parties (or to such other address or addresses as may be specified from time to time in a written notice), and shall be deemed to have been properly served to the addressee upon receipt of such written communication, to the following addresses of the Parties:

 26 

 

 

(e)          Amendments and Waivers. No terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be varied or modified by any prior, contemporaneous or subsequent statement, conduct or act of either of the Parties, whether oral or written, except that the Parties may amend this Agreement by written instrument specifically referring to this Agreement. No waiver of any right or remedy hereunder shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Party to be bound, nor shall any waiver in one instance constitute a waiver of the same or any other right or remedy in any other instance.

 

(f)          Publicity. The Parties agree to keep the existence of this Agreement, the terms and conditions hereof, the transactions contemplated hereby, and any proposed termination hereof and any information disclosed by one Party to the other Party in connection with the foregoing strictly confidential; provided, however that:

 

(i)          The Parties may each issue a press release announcing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in a form mutually agreed by them, and, except for any disclosure under (ii), (iii) or (iv), prior to making any subsequent public announcements regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such proposed announcement;

 

(ii)         Titan and Braeburn may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to assert or enforce such Party’s rights under this Agreement, or to the extent that such disclosure is required by Law or legal process, including without limitation the securities Laws of the United States, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that the determination that a disclosure is required by Law shall be made in the sole, but reasonably exercised, discretion of the Party making such disclosure.

 

(iii)        If reasonably required in connection with the conduct of their respective businesses, Titan and Braeburn may disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement to bankers, other business associates, shareholder, potential investors and analysts if such persons have agreed in writing to keep the information confidential, and upon the request of either Party, the other Party shall identify those Third Parties to whom such disclosure has been made.

 

(iv)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) each Party may, following the Effective Date, make internal announcements to their respective employees and Affiliates regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) each Party may, following the Effective Date, make public announcements that are consistent with the contents of the press releases contemplated by Section 10(f)(i), and (C) each Party may, subject to Section 6(b)(ii), communicate with any Governmental Authority, customers and suppliers regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (to the extent that, in the case of customers and suppliers, such communications are consistent with the contents of the press releases contemplated by Section 10(f)(i)).

 

 27 

 

 

(v)         Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that the Parties may (A) make disclosure of this Agreement and the terms hereof in filings required by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or other Governmental Authority or securities exchange, or (B) file this Agreement as an exhibit to a filing with the SEC or other Governmental Authority or exchange; provided however, that the Party seeking to make such disclosure first provides the other Party a copy of the proposed disclosure reasonably in advance of such disclosure and will incorporate any reasonable comments from the other Party; provided further that with respect to any SEC filing that includes this Agreement or any amendment hereto, the Party seeking the disclosure shall provide the other Party two Business Days to review such disclosure and propose redactions to the Agreement and any amendment hereto to be filed with the SEC, which proposed redactions shall be considered and incorporated in good faith.

 

(g)          Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement during the period of time when such failure or delay is caused by or results from Force Majeure. The affected Party shall notify the other Party of such Force Majeure act or event as soon as reasonably practicable and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to remedy its inability to perform and limit the scope and duration of any suspension of performance.

 

(h)          Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be modified, if possible, to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable or, if such modification is not possible, it shall be stricken and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(i)          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

(j)          Interpretation. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Article, Section, Schedule and Exhibit references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The meaning of defined terms shall be equally applicable to the singular and plural forms of the defined terms. The term “or” is disjunctive but, depending on the context, not necessarily exclusive. The terms “include” and “including” are not limiting and mean “including without limitation.” Use of a particular gender is for convenience only and is not intended to be a part of or to affect or restrict the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. References to agreements and other documents shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments and other modifications thereto. References to statutes shall include all regulations promulgated thereunder and references to statutes or regulations shall be construed as including all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending or replacing the statute or regulation. The captions and headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.
