If the Inventory subject to the audit as determined by the mutual audit differs (greater than or less than) from the estimated value by a variation of 25% or more, then the Estimated Purchase Price shall be adjusted up or down by the percentage variation of the total Inventory Cost, resulting in the adjusted purchase price (“Adjusted Purchase Price”) (by way of illustration, if the Inventory Cost of the Inventory in the quantities determined by the audit is 40% higher than as set forth on Schedule 2.1(a), then the Adjusted Purchase Price will be 140% of the Estimated Purchase Price, or $1.5 million times 140%, equaling $2.1 million). Otherwise, the Adjusted Purchase Price shall be the Estimated Purchase Price.

As of the Closing Date, Seller hereby grants to the Buyer a limited license to use Seller’s Trademark as it appears on Products in the Inventory, solely for the purpose of permitting Buyer to sell such Products in the Inventory with Seller’s Trademark thereon without any modification or alteration thereto.
(b) The license granted in this Section 6.1 does not allow the Buyer to:
(i) use or affix Seller’s Trademark in connection with any other Products that do not include Seller’s Trademark affixed thereto by Seller prior to the Closing Date, or
(ii) use Seller’s Trademark in any other manner, including in marketing materials (except for images of the Products purchased under this Agreement having Seller’s Trademark affixed thereon by the Seller prior to the Closing Date).
(c) The license granted in this Section 6.1 shall terminate upon the sooner to occur of (i) the sale in the ordinary course of business, or otherwise the disposal or transfer, of all Products in the Inventory that include Seller’s Trademark; and (ii) the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date. Except as specifically provided in this Section 6.1, the Seller retains all rights to Seller’s Trademark, as well as all other rights, privileges, and remedies granted and reserved to the owner of a mark, trademark, tradename or logo under the laws of the state of California, the United States, and any other country in which Seller’s Trademark is in use, whether registered or not.
6.2 Limited License of Other Intellectual Property.
(a) The Parties acknowledge that some of the Products are covered by Intellectual Property owned by the Seller, including but not limited to U.S. Patent No. 7,367,423, issued May 6, 2008.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide, and irrevocable license to use the Seller DCS Intellectual Property (including without limitation U.S. Patent No. 7,367,423) solely for the purpose of manufacturing, marketing, distributing, commercializing, and selling the Products (hereinafter, the “Licensed IP”). This license includes a license to produce derivative works of copyrighted and copyrightable material used in connection with the Products in the Inventory, including but not limited to technical documentation and component labels on printed circuit boards, provided, however, that such derivative works do not include Seller’s trademark or any reference to Seller. For avoidance of doubt, the Licensed IP under this Section 6.2 does not include Seller’s Trademark and does not permit Buyer to use the Licensed IP for any other purpose other than the manufacture, marketing, distribution, commercialization, and sale of the Products and modifications thereto.
(c) If Buyer modifies the Products in any way after delivery or produces new products that are modified in any way from Seller’s original design, Buyer shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the modified Product complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and standards in any jurisdiction in which the modified Product is marketed, sold, distributed, or used. Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the compliance of any modified Product with such laws, and ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to Buyer’s modification of the Product and the sale or use of the modified Product.
(d) In support of Section 6.2(b), Seller shall provide to Buyer copies of source files for technical documentation and component labels used with the Products in the Inventory, to the extent such documentation is reasonably available to Seller. Such source files shall be provided in the format they are stored in Seller’s own information technology system. At Seller’s option, Seller may provide source files to the Buyer that have been modified to remove Seller’s trademark and/or any other reference to Seller.
6.3 Intellectual Property Enforcement.
(a) The Seller retains all rights, in its sole discretion, to institute or prosecute any action or proceeding against third parties for or by reason of any infringement of Seller’s Trademark or the Licensed IP, and the proceeds of such an action or proceeding shall be solely for the benefit of the Seller.
(b) Upon request, each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other as necessary for the prosecution of any proceeding described in this Section, all at the expense of the Seller.
6.4 Covenants of Buyer. The Buyer agrees that it shall not directly or indirectly challenge, or assist any third party in challenging, the validity, enforceability, or scope of any of the Licensed IP in any forum, including but not limited to courts, patent offices, or administrative agencies. In the event that the Buyer breaches this Section, Seller shall have the right to immediately terminate the licenses granted in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 upon written notice to Buyer, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Seller under law or equity. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall reimburse Seller for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in responding to or defending against such challenge.

(c) The covenants and agreements of the Seller and the Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive in accordance with their respective terms.
(d) Neither the Seller nor the Buyer shall have any liability with respect to any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements unless notice of an actual or threatened claim, or of discovery of any facts or circumstances that the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, reasonably believes may result in a claim, hereunder is given to the Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be, prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, if any, for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, in which case such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.
8.2 Indemnification by the Seller. Other than for Warranty Work claims pertaining to the Products manufactured or sold by the Seller at any time, from and after the Closing Date, the Seller shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the foregoing for, any and all losses, damages, Liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”), asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing as a result of, arising out of or relating to:
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements (other than a breach of any of the Seller Fundamental Representations);
(b) any breach of any of the Seller Fundamental Representations; and
(c) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Seller contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements.
8.3 Indemnification by the Buyer. From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall save, defend; indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the foregoing for, any and all Losses asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing as a result of, arising out of or relating to:
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements (other than a breach of any of the Buyer Fundamental Representations);
(b) any breach of any of the Buyer Fundamental Representations;
(c) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements;
(d) Warranty Work claims that pertain to the Products at any time, either before or after the Closing; and
(e) any claims related to Product Liabilities.
8.4 Procedures.
(a) A Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) in respect of a Loss arising out of or involving a claim or demand made against the Indemnified Party by any Person not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) shall deliver notice (a “Claim Notice”) in respect thereof to the Party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to deliver a Claim Notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this ARTICLE VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 15 days of receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (which expenses shall not be applied against any indemnity limitation herein) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within the time period and otherwise in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 8.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) the named parties to the Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) involves a finding or admission of criminal liability, (B) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (C) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder subject to Section 8.5 below.
(c) An Indemnified Party seeking indemnification in respect of a Loss that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party (a “Direct Claim”) shall deliver a Claim Notice in respect thereof to the Indemnifying Party with reasonable promptness after becoming aware of facts supporting such Direct Claim, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to deliver a Claim Notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this ARTICLE VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days following its receipt of a Claim Notice in respect of a Direct Claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder, such Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Liability to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but asserts that it is obligated to pay a lesser amount than that claimed by the Indemnified Party, such lesser amount shall be deemed a Final Loss Amount payable in accordance with Section 8.6 below, without prejudice to or waiver of the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference.
(d) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to require that any action be made or brought against any other Person before action is brought or claim is made against it hereunder by the Indemnified Party.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.9, each Indemnifying Party hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an Action in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on each Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim anywhere.
8.5 Mitigation. Each Party will make commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate Losses upon becoming aware of any event or circumstances for which it may seek to impose liability on another party, except that no Party will be required to (i) commence any action, suit, claim or proceeding against any Person even if it would otherwise be commercially reasonable to do so, or (ii) take any Tax position to maximize or minimize any Tax increase or Tax decrease that would be taken into account when calculating the after-tax basis of any payment of any Losses.
8.6 Insurance Proceeds and Other Recoveries. Under no circumstances will the possibility of a future insurance or other recovery be a basis (i) for reducing liability for Losses prior to the receipt of those insurance proceeds or other recovery, or (ii) for limiting, postponing or delaying satisfaction of any obligation under this ARTICLE VIII. If, following satisfaction of a Party’s obligation under this ARTICLE VIII with respect to certain Losses, a Party that received a payment under this ARTICLE VIII subsequently receives any insurance proceeds or other recovery, the Party that receives the insurance proceeds or recovery will promptly pay-over to the Party that made the payment under this ARTICLE VIII an amount necessary to avoid any double recovery arising out of the particular facts and circumstances for which the insurance proceeds or other recovery is received, except to the extent that the Party that made the payment under this ARTICLE VIII is subject to potential liability for Losses that are the subject of any claim notice for Losses for which liability or the amount of Losses has not been established, in which event the Party that received the insurance proceeds or other recovery must solely pay-over the amount that exceeds the amounts to which that Party may be entitled under this ARTICLE VIII. Insurance proceeds or other recoveries required to be paid-over will be reduced, to the extent not taken into account when Losses were calculated, by any actual costs, expenses or additional premiums incurred primarily in connection with obtaining such insurance proceeds or other recovery.
8.7 Liability Limitations. The aggregate amount of the Seller’s obligations under this ARTICLE VIII for any claims made under Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(b) will not exceed the Adjusted Purchase Price. The aggregate amount of the Buyer’s obligations under this ARTICLE VIII for any claims made under Section 8.3(a) and Section 8.3(b) will not exceed the Adjusted Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Buyer will be liable under this ARTICLE VIII for any Losses stemming from consequential, punitive, special, incidental or indirect damages except to the extent awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a Third Party Claim.
8.8 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the event of fraud or intentional misconduct and as provided in Section 10.11, each Party’s sole and exclusive remedy and recourse with respect to any and all claims under the this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements, or relating to the Transaction, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, shall be as provided in this ARTICLE VIII.
