     Section 5.12. Third Party Consents and Regulatory Approvals
          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Buyer and Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Legal Requirements to consummate the Contemplated Transactions as soon as practicable after the date hereof, including
               (i) preparing and filing, in consultation with the other party and as promptly as practicable and advisable after the date hereof, all documentation to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings, and other documents and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits, tax rulings and authorizations necessary to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Body in order to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, including the Approval Order from the Bankruptcy Court, and
               (ii) taking all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain all such material consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, registrations, permits, authorizations, tax rulings, orders and approvals.
          (b) Buyer acknowledges that Seller has filed a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. As such, Seller shall file a motion (the “Sale Motion”) with the Bankruptcy Court, seeking the Approval Order, subject to overbids (initial overbid must be at least $100,000.000 higher than the Purchase Price and incremental overbids must increase by at least $100,000.00 thereafter) in an Auction at the hearing on the Sale Motion, and of Buyer as the good faith purchaser of the Assets, which shall be transferred thereto free and clear of liens, interests and encumbrances in accordance herewith, and the entry of the Approval Order. The Sale Motion shall seek entry of the Approval Order containing findings of fact and conclusions of law customary for such “free and clear” sales, inter alia, that Seller and Buyer have negotiated this Agreement in good faith, that Buyer is afforded the protections of Bankruptcy Code § 363(m), and that Buyer takes the Assets free and clear of all Encumbrances under Bankruptcy Code § 363(f). For purposes of this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer hereby agrees to conduct the Closing after the issuance of a “Final Order” (as hereafter defined). As used in this Agreement, the term “Final Order” shall mean any order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction as to which (i) there is no stay or other limitation on the terms or effectiveness, (ii) no appeal, motion for reconsideration, writ of mandamus or other motion or application which, if granted, would reverse, modify, amend rescind or revoke the order, is pending, and (iii) the time to file an appeal, writ of

35


 

mandamus or other motion or application which , if granted, would reverse, modify, amend, rescind or revoke the order, has expired. In addition, Seller shall request, by and through its Sale Motion, an Order providing for payment of a “Break-Up Fee” (defined below) to be paid to Buyer by any party who outbids Buyer in the event that Buyer is ultimately not the high bidder for the Assets. The break-up fee shall be $50,000 (the “Break-Up Fee”).
     Section 5.13. Executory Contracts.
          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance on the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement, the Seller shall, pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, assume and then sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer all of the Seller Contracts, to the extent executor, other than such contracts as would be Excluded Assets. Nothing herein shall constitute an admission that any Seller Contract is an executory contract.
          (b) The Seller shall be responsible for any and all monetary cures or other payments required under Bankruptcy Code Section 365 to effect the assignment and assumption of the Seller Contracts to the Buyer, including providing evidence as to the adequate assurance of future performance required under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and Buyer shall be responsible for any non-monetary cures or other actions so required. The Approval Order shall provide that the assumption and assignment to the Buyer of the Seller Contracts is approved and that all payments required to cure or other payments or other payments or actions required to assume and assign the Seller Contracts to the Buyer have been satisfied in full.
          (c) Should the Buyer or the Seller identify any executory contracts of the Seller not as Seller Contracts as of the Contract Determination Date or not assigned to the Buyer pursuant to the Approval Order (other than Excluded Assets), the Seller shall, at the Buyer’s request, take commercially reasonably efforts to assume and assign such executory contract to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Assigned Executory Contracts”). If the Seller is unable to obtain the consent of any party that is necessary to assign any Assigned Executory Contract notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 363(f) and 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, then, subject to any right of the Buyer hereunder, the Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide to the Buyer the benefits and obligations under any such Assigned Executory Contract, including enforcement of any and all rights of the Seller against the other party or parties thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation by such other party or otherwise.
          (d) The Buyer shall have the right to designate any Seller Contract that would otherwise be an Asset as an Excluded Asset at any time prior to the date that is sixty (60) days following the Closing Date (without any reduction in the Purchase Price) or, if such date does not fall on a business day, the next succeeding business day (the “Contract Determination Date”). Such contracts shall be deemed Excluded Assets by the Buyer’s written notification to the Seller at any time on or prior to the Contract Determination Date, and the schedules to this Agreement shall be deemed modified accordingly.
          (e) Except to the extent such would have a Material Adverse Effect, ifany non-debtor party to an executor contract objects to the assumption and assignment of such contract, and such party’s consent is required under Section 365(c) for the assumption and assignment of such

36


 

executor contract to the Buyer, the Buyer agrees that such executor contract shall be deemed an Excluded Asset, without any adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless such consent is obtained. Except as provided in Section 5.13(c) above, the Seller shall take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent, provided that the Seller shall have no obligation to obtain any such consent.
     Section 5.14. Alternate Name Designation. Within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver a certificate to Buyer from the appropriate Governmental Body evidencing the termination of Subsidiary’s name as “Rovion, Inc.” and shall cooperate with Buyer to secure such name designation for Buyer’s use.
     Section 5.15. Notice of Certain Events.
          (a) From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall promptly notify the Buyers in writing of:
          (i) any fact, circumstance, event or action the existence, occurrence or taking of which (A) results, or could reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (B) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, any representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder not being true and correct or (C) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 to be satisfied.
          (ii) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
          (iii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Body concerning any matter that would require Seller to give notice of such fact under Section 5.15(a)(i); and
          (iv) any Proceedings commenced or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the Business, the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 3.16 or that relates to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
          (b) The Buyer’s receipt of information pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall not operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty, or agreement given or made by the Seller in this Agreement and shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Letter.
     Section 5.16. Assignability of Certain Contracts. To the extent that the assignment to Buyers of any Seller Contract pursuant to this Agreement is not permitted without the consent of a third party and such restriction cannot be effectively overridden or canceled by the order of the Bankruptcy Court, then this Agreement will not be deemed to constitute an assignment of or an undertaking or attempt to assign such Assumed Contract or any right or interest therein unless and until such consent is obtained; provided, however, that Buyer and Seller will use their

37


 

commercially reasonably efforts, before the Closing, to obtain all such consents; provided, further that if any such consents are not obtained prior to the Closing Date, the Seller and Buyer will reasonably cooperate with each other in any lawful and feasible arrangement designed to provide Buyer (such arrangement to be at the sole cost and expense of Buyer) with the benefits and obligations of any such Seller Contract and Buyer shall be responsible for performing all obligations under such Seller Contract required to be performed by the Seller on or after the Closing Date unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION; REMEDIES
     Section 6.1. Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement, the Disclosure Letter, and the Ancillary Documents shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, subject to any amendments or modifications undertaken pursuant to Section 9.7. The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.
     Section 6.2. Indemnification and Reimbursement by Seller. Seller will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, and its employees, directors, Representatives, stockholders and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”), and will reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Persons for any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) or diminution of value, whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, “Damages”), arising from or in connection with:
          (a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Disclosure Letter, (iii) any of the Ancillary Documents executed or delivered by Seller or (iv) any transfer instrument;
          (b) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller in this Agreement or in any other Ancillary Document delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;
          (c) any Liability arising out of the ownership or operation of the Assets prior to the Closing Date other than the Assumed Liabilities;
          (d) any amount representing fees and expenses or other costs attributable to Seller arising out of or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions;
          (e) any litigation pending on the Closing Date against Seller; or

38


 

          (f) any Retained Liabilities.
     Section 6.3. Indemnification Claims. In the event Buyer becomes aware of a third-party claim or Damages which Buyer believes may result in a demand for Damages pursuant to the indemnification provisions of Section 6.2 hereof, Buyer shall notify Seller of such claim. Buyer shall have the right to settle any such claim with the consent of Seller which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The following procedures shall apply to this Section 6.3:
          (a) If within 15 days after receiving such notice, Seller gives written notice to the Buyer stating it intends to defend against such claim or Damages at its own cost and expense, the defense (including the right to settle or compromise such action, subject to the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of such matter, including selection of counsel (subject to the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the sole power to direct and control such defense, shall be by Seller and Seller shall make no payment in respect of such claim or Damages to any third party as long as Seller is conducting a good faith and diligent defense. In any such defense, Seller will consult with Buyer in connection with Seller’s defense, and Buyer shall make available all information and assistance that Seller may reasonably request and shall cooperate with Seller in such defense.
          (b) In any such proceeding, Buyer shall have the right to retain its own counsel, and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel, unless: (i) Seller and Buyer shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) Seller has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel; or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both Buyer and Seller and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. In any case specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence, Seller will bear the fees and expenses of counsel retained by Buyer, it being understood that Seller shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for Buyer, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed by Seller as they are incurred. Any such separate counsel for which Buyer claims it is entitled to have Seller bear fees and expenses shall be designated in writing by Buyer. If in any such proceeding there shall be a settlement or final judgment for the plaintiff, Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment, provided that if the proceeding is resolved by settlement, Seller has consented in writing to the settlement, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time Buyer shall have requested Seller to reimburse Buyer for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated in this Section 6.3(b), Seller agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (x) such settlement is entered into more than 15 days after receipt by Seller of the request for reimbursement; and (y) Seller shall not have reimbursed Buyer in accordance with such request (other than due to a reasonable dispute as to the validity of such request) prior to the date of settlement.
          (c) If no notice of intent to dispute and defend is given by Seller under Section 6.3(a), or if Seller fails or ceases to conduct a diligent good faith

39


 

defense, Buyer shall, at the expense of Seller, undertake the defense of such claim or Damages with counsel selected by Buyer, and shall have the right to compromise or settle the same exercising reasonable business judgment.

     Section 10.5. Enforcement of Agreement. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any Breach of this Agreement by Seller could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which Buyer may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to

enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.
     Section 10.6. Waiver; Extension; Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein; provided, however, that after the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Seller Stockholders, no extension or waiver of this Agreement or any portion thereof shall be made which by any Legal Requirement requires further approval of the stockholders of Seller without obtaining such approval. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure or delay to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to its subject matter (including any letter of intent and any confidentiality agreement between Buyer and Seller) and constitutes (along with the Disclosure Letter, Exhibits and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified except by a written agreement executed by the party to be charged with the amendment; provided, however, that after approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Seller Stockholders, no amendment of this Agreement shall be made which by Legal Requirement requires further approval by the stockholders of Seller without obtaining such approval.
     Section 10.8. Disclosure Letter.
