Section 2.05 Purchase Price; Payment of Purchase Price.

 

(a) The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets shall be an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Net Revenue received by Buyer or its Affiliates from the sale of any Products during the five-year period following the first commercial sale of any Products (the “Earnout Period”); provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate payments made by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) exceed $20.0 million, then from and after such time, Buyer shall pay Seller twenty percent (20%) of the Net Revenue then received by Buyer or its Affiliates from the sale of any Products (collectively, the “Purchase Price”), plus the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. For purposes hereof, “Net Revenues” shall equal all Product sales revenues, less chargebacks (refunds) credited to customers, returns, rebates and discounts provided after the sale and not already included in the Product sales revenues. For clarification, references to the aggregate sales of the “Products” as used in this Section 2.05(a) and elsewhere in connection with the calculation of the Purchase Price shall include (A) any sales by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, as well as Buyer’s successors and assigns, and (B) sales of all or any parts of a Product’s system (individually or as part of a Product), as well as any subsequently developed or successor products that are improved or modified versions of a Product (or any part of the system thereof) or substantially utilize the intellectual property that comprises any Product (or any party of the system thereof).

 

(b) Except as set forth in Section 2.05(c) below and subject to any offset as set forth in Section 6.17 below, the Purchase Price shall be paid by Buyer to Seller in cash quarterly within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar quarter (each such payment being referred to as a “Deferred Purchase Price Payment”).

 

(c) Subject to the restrictions set forth herein, at the sole option of Buyer, in lieu of paying cash, Buyer may elect to pay up to 33.33% of any quarterly Deferred Purchase Price Payment by the issuance of a number of its shares of Common Stock valued at the Share Value (any such shares of Common Stock issued hereunder being referred to as “Purchase Price Shares”). For purposes hereof, the “Share Value” of each Purchase Price Share shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the 10-day VWAP ending on the trading date immediately prior to the end of the applicable calendar quarter related to such Deferred Purchase Price Payment, and (ii) the 10-day VWAP ending on the trading date immediately prior to the date of the issuance of any such Purchase Price Shares; provided, however, such issuance must be completed no later than ninety (90) days after the applicable calendar quarter related to such Deferred Purchase Price Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may Buyer elect to issue any Purchase Price Shares to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) in the event that as a result of any such issuance, Buyer and its Affiliates would then own more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of Buyer following such issuance. For purposes of calculating the number of shares of Common Stock owned by Seller and its Affiliates in the preceding sentence, all shares of Common Stock which could be issued to SiVantage under the terms of the SiVantage Asset Purchase Agreement (the Initial Shares plus, during the Earnout Period, the Maximum Milestone Shares, as such terms are defined therein) will be deemed as owned by SiVantage as long as SiVantage is an Affiliate of Seller. The rights under this Section 2.05(c) shall, at the option of Seller, no longer be in effect upon a Change of Control resulting in the surviving and/or successor entity no longer having shares of its common stock registered under the Securities Act, or is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

(d) In the event that any Losses are payable by Seller to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to ARTICLE VIII herein, then Buyer, at its sole discretion, may offset any such Loss against a Deferred Purchase Price Payment.

 

 

(e) In order to assist with the calculation of the amounts due pursuant to this Section 2.05, Buyer shall prepare an internally generated unaudited monthly report to Seller of the estimated aggregate sales of the Products and calculation of Net Revenues during the Earnout Period (the “Monthly Sales Reports”) based on Buyer’s sales and financial records maintained in good faith and in the ordinary course of Buyer’s business. Each Monthly Sales Report shall be delivered no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the month for which the aggregate sales of the Products have occurred. At the request of Seller, Buyer shall provide additional data and records utilized by Buyer in its calculation of the aggregated sales of the Products and preparation of the Monthly Sales Reports, as reasonably requested by Seller. In the event there is a dispute as to the calculation of the aggregate Net Revenues, the Parties will work in good faith to resolve such dispute. In the event that the dispute is not resolved by the Parties, the Parties shall retain a mutually agreed upon independent accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”) to calculate the Net Revenues during the disputed period, whose calculations will be binding on both Parties. The costs for such Independent Accountant shall be (i) paid by Buyer in the event that the actual Net Revenues are more than 105% of the Net Revenues reported by Buyer during the disputed period, or (ii) paid by Seller in the event the Net Revenues are equal to or less than 105% of the aggregate sales reported by Buyer during the disputed period.

 

(f) In the event that prior to the end of the Earnout Period Buyer consummates a Change of Control transaction (as defined below), then Buyer shall, at its option, either: (i) require the successor-in-interest of Buyer or the Purchased Assets and Business following the Change of Control to assume any and all remaining obligations under Section 2.05(a) (as may be adjusted by, and subject to the other provisions of, this Section 2.05(f)); or (ii) in lieu of any additional payments or obligations under Section 2.05(a), pay Seller at the closing of such Change of Control transaction an early termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) equal to the following: (A) the trailing 12 month Net Revenues for the Products calculated from the end of the month preceding the closing of the Change of Control, multiplied by (B) the Multiplier (as defined below), multiplied by (C) the number of years remaining in the Earnout Period as of the end of the month preceding the closing of the Change in Control, and multiplied by (D) 30%. For purposes hereof, the Multiplier shall mean: (x) for any Change in Control occurring during the one-year period following the Closing, 1.8; (y) for any Change of Control occurring after the first anniversary of the Closing and prior to the second anniversary of the Closing, 1.5; and (z) for any Change of Control occurring after the second anniversary of the Closing, 1.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Change of Control occurs prior to the thirty (30)-month period following the commencement of commercial sales of the Products, then any Termination Fee will be the greater of (1) $10 million or (2) the Termination Fee as calculated above. For purposes hereof, “Change of Control” means: (a) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets related to the Products and the Business IP Assets; (b) the sale or issuance of Buyer’s Common Stock which results in such purchaser owning not less a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of Buyer (after giving effect to the conversion of any convertible securities); or (c) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of Buyer with or into another entity that results in the stockholders of Buyer during the ninety (90) day period prior to such transaction no longer owning a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of such successor entity or being able to designate or elect a majority of the board of directors (or its equivalent) of the successor entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control prior to the end of the Earnout Period and Buyer has not elected to pay the Termination Fee in connection therewith, if the aggregate amount of all Deferred Purchase Price Payments paid to Seller following the Change of Control is less than the Termination Fee that would have been paid at the time of the closing of the Change of Control had Buyer elected to pay the Termination Fee at such time, then Buyer (or its successor-in-interest following the Change of Control), shall pay Seller such difference within ninety (90) days following the end of the Earnout Period.

 

 

(g) In addition to any other remedies available to Seller hereunder, in the event that Buyer (or any successor-in-interest following a Change of Control as set forth in Section 2.05(f)) has defaulted in the payment of any required Deferred Purchase Price Payment for any two consecutive quarters, or in the event that Buyer (or any successor in interest following a Change of Control as set forth in Section 2.05(f)) is in arrears in an amount equal to more than 50% of amounts that are due and owing to Seller under Section 2.05(a) or Section 2.05(f), then Seller shall have the right, exercisable upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Buyer (or any successor-in-interest following a Change of Control as set forth in Section 2.05(f)), to repurchase the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), for a purchase price payable in cash at such closing equal to the aggregate Deferred Purchase Price Payments previously paid to Seller hereunder. In the event that Buyer (or any successor-in-interest following a Change of Control as set forth in Section 2.05(f)), cures such default prior to the end of such 30-day notice period, then such repurchase notice shall be deemed revoked. Any such revocation shall not preclude Seller from sending a future repurchase notice in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.05(g).

 

Section 2.06 Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (plus other relevant items) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by ▇▇▇▇▇ and delivered to Seller on or before November 15, 2025 days following the Closing Date. If Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of such Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇. Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

 

Section 2.07 Withholding Tax. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under any provision of Tax Law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Seller hereunder.

 

Section 2.08 Third Party Consents. To the extent that Seller’s rights under any Assigned Contract constituting a Purchased Asset, or any other Purchased Asset, may not be assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Seller, at its expense, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the Purchased Asset, shall act after the Closing as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the Purchased Asset, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer.

When each Ancillary Document to which Seller is or will be a party has been duly executed and delivered by Seller (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party thereto), such Ancillary Document will constitute a legal and binding obligation of Seller enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, in each case, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or other principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies.

No consent, approval, Permit, Governmental Order, declaration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Authority is required by or with respect to Seller in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents to which Seller is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except where the failure to make or obtain such consents, approvals, Permits, Governmental Orders, declarations, filings, or notices would not have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s Knowledge, any other party thereto is in breach of or default under (or is alleged to be in breach of or default under) in any material respect, or has provided or received any notice of any intention to terminate, any Material Contract. No event or circumstance has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default by Seller, or to Seller’s Knowledge, by any other party to any such Material Contract, under any Material Contract or result in a termination thereof. Complete and correct copies of each written Material Contract (including all modifications, amendments and supplements thereto and waivers thereunder) have been made available to Buyer. There are no material disputes pending or threatened under any Assigned Contract.

Section 4.11 Intellectual Property.

(b) Section 4.11(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules contains a correct, current and complete list of all Intellectual Property Agreements, and separately identifying the Intellectual Property Agreements: (i) under which Seller is a licensor or otherwise grants to any Person any right or interest relating to any Business IP Asset; and (ii) under which Seller is a licensee or otherwise granted any right or interest relating to the Intellectual Property of any Person. Seller has provided Buyer with true and complete copies (or in the case of any oral agreements, a complete and correct written description) of all such Intellectual Property Agreements, including all modifications, amendments and supplements thereto and waivers thereunder. Each Intellectual Property Agreement is valid and binding on Seller in accordance with its terms and is in full force and effect. Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s Knowledge any other party thereto, is, or is alleged to be, in breach of or default under, or has provided or received any notice of breach of, default under or any intention to terminate (including by non-renewal), any Intellectual Property Agreement.

 

(c) Seller is the sole and exclusive legal and beneficial, and with respect to the Business IP Registrations, record, owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Business IP Assets, and has the valid and enforceable written license to use all other Intellectual Property used or held for use in connection with, or otherwise necessary for, conducting the Business as currently conducted, in each case, free and clear of Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Business IP Assets and Licensed Intellectual Property are all of the Intellectual Property necessary to operate the Business as currently conducted. Seller has entered into binding, valid and enforceable written Contracts with each current and former employee and independent contractor who is or was involved in or has contributed to the invention, creation, or development of any Intellectual Property during the course of employment or engagement with Seller whereby such employee or independent contractor: (i) acknowledges Seller’s exclusive ownership of all Business IP Assets invented, created or developed by such employee or independent contractor within the scope of his or her employment or engagement with Seller; (ii) grants to Seller a present, irrevocable assignment of any ownership interest such employee or independent contractor may have in or to such Intellectual Property, to the extent such Intellectual Property does not constitute a “work made for hire” under Applicable Law; and (iii) irrevocably waives any right or interest, including any moral rights, regarding such Intellectual Property, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Seller has provided Buyer with true and complete copies of all such written Contracts. All assignments and other instruments necessary to establish, record, and perfect Seller’s ownership interest in the Business IP Registrations have been validly executed, delivered, and filed with the relevant Governmental Authorities and authorized registrars.

 

 

(d) Neither the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, will result in the loss or impairment of or payment of any additional amounts with respect to, or require the consent of any other Person in respect of, ▇▇▇▇▇’s right to own or use any Business IP Assets or Licensed Intellectual Property in the conduct of the Business as currently conducted, other than the consent of Atlas Spine in connection with the Atlas Spine License Agreement. Immediately following the Closing, the Business IP Assets will be owned or available for use by Buyer on identical terms as they were owned or available for use by Seller immediately prior to the Closing.

 

(e) All of the Business IP Assets are valid and enforceable, and all Business IP Registrations are subsisting and in full force and effect. Seller has taken all commercially reasonable steps to maintain and enforce the Business IP Assets and to preserve the confidentiality of all Trade Secrets included in the Business IP Assets.

(a) Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02(a) exceeds $10,000 (the “Basket”), in which event Seller shall be required to pay or be liable for all Losses in excess of the Basket.

 

(b) Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.03(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.03(a) exceeds the Basket, in which event Buyer shall be required to pay or be liable for all Losses in excess of the Basket.

Section 8.05 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

 

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.05) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

 

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to Liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

 

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 8.06 Payments.

 

(a) Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 12%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(b) Any Losses payable to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be satisfied by Seller, at the election of Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, by offsetting any payments due by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 2.05(a) in accordance with the terms of Section 2.05(d).

 

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

Section 8.08 Duty to Mitigate. To the extent required by applicable Law, each Indemnified Party shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon having actual knowledge of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise to any indemnification rights hereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and except to the extent required by applicable Law, such efforts shall not require such Buyer Indemnitee to commence or initiate any judicial or other Action against any customer, supplier, insurer, or other material business relationship.

 

 

Section 8.09 Net Recovery.

 

(a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 shall be net of any amounts actually received by the Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, (i) under insurance policies with respect to such Loss (after deducting therefrom costs and expenses reasonably incurred in pursuing or obtaining such insurance proceeds, deductibles and any increased premium amounts directly attributable to such claim) and (ii) from third parties with respect to the matters relating to such Loss (after deducting therefrom the costs and expenses reasonably incurred in pursuing or obtaining such recovery). The Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include commencing litigation or incurring material out-of-pocket costs or expenses) to pursue recovery for Losses under any available insurance coverage.

 

(b) In the event an insurance claim or third-party recovery relating to a Loss is pending or has not been filed or the amount of the insurance proceeds or third-party recovery is disputed by the Indemnifying Party at the time such Loss is to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the full amount of such Loss, and any insurance proceeds or third-party recovery subsequently received by the Indemnified Party or agreed upon by the Indemnifying Party relating to such Loss (after the deductions set forth above in Section 8.09(a)) shall be paid by such Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, to the Indemnifying Party, up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment.

 

Section 8.10 Exclusive Remedy. Except (i) in the case of fraud or criminal or willful misconduct, (ii) for equitable remedies, or (iii) as otherwise provided in Section 10.11, the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer or Seller for any charge, claim, cause of action or right relating to any breach of any representation, warranty, obligation or covenant contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Section 8.11 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be.
