ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of April 11, 2016 (this “Agreement”), by and between TELIT TECHNOLOGIES (CYPRUS) LIMITED, a Cypriot company (“Telit Technologies”), TELIT WIRELESS SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Telit Wireless” and together with Telit Technologies, “Purchasers”), and NOVATEL WIRELESS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Novatel” or “Seller”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell certain assets of Seller, and each Purchaser desires to acquire such assets from Seller, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth;

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchasers and Novatel are concurrently herewith entering into (i) that certain License Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “License Agreement”), (ii) that certain Transition Services Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Transition Services Agreement”), and (iii) that certain Manufacturing and Supply Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Manufacturing and Supply Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, each term defined in the preamble shall have the meaning set forth above whenever used herein, unless otherwise expressly provided, and each other defined term shall have the meaning given thereto in Annex I.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE, PURCHASE PRICE, ALLOCATION AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS

1.1    Purchase and Sale.

(a)    On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchasers agree to purchase from Seller, and Seller agrees to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver at the Closing for the consideration specified in Section 1.2 to Purchasers, all right, title and interest of Seller in and to all of the Purchased Assets, free and clear of any Liens (the “Acquisition”); provided, however, that physical delivery of the Purchased Assets shall not occur on the Closing Date but will occur within seven (7) days following the Closing Date.

(b)    Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Purchasers agree to purchase from Seller, and Seller agrees to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to Purchasers the Batch 2 Inventory for the aggregate price attributable to such Inventory as set forth on Annex II.

1.2    Purchase Price.    The purchase price payable by Purchasers to Seller for the Purchased Assets and the rights and benefits conferred herein shall be the following:

1


(a)    an amount equal to $11,000,000 (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3(b) and Section 1.4, the “Purchase Price”), payable in accordance with Section 1.3; and

(b)    the assumption by Purchasers of the Assumed Liabilities.

1.3    Payment of the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:

(a)    Closing Payment. On the Closing Date, Purchasers shall pay to Novatel an amount equal to $9,000,000 (the “Closing Consideration”), with such payment being made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account set forth on Schedule 1.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedules. Of the $2,000,000 difference between the Purchase Price and the Closing Consideration, $1,000,000 is referred to herein as the “Closing Holdback Amount” and $1,000,000 is referred to herein as the “Armstrong Holdback Amount.

(b)    Additional Purchase Price for Post-Closing Inventory Purchase.    Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Purchasers shall pay to Novatel (i) the aggregate purchase price for the Batch 2 Inventory as set forth on Annex II by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account set forth on Schedule 1.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedules minus (ii) $1,000,000 (the “Additional Holdback Amount”, and together with the Closing Holdback Amount, the “Services Holdback Amount”). The payment of the aggregate purchase price for the Batch 2 Inventory as set forth on Annex II, including the payment of the Additional Holdback Amount, shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(c)    Payment of Services Holdback Amount. Purchasers shall pay to Novatel the Services Holdback Amount in eight (8) equal quarterly installments of $250,000 per installment during the two (2) year period following the Closing Date if Seller is in material compliance with its obligations to perform the services identified as item #1 on Exhibit A to the Transition Services Agreement; provided that Seller shall be given thirty (30) days following notice of any alleged noncompliance to cure such alleged noncompliance.

(d)    Payment of Armstrong Holdback Amount. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the conditions set forth on Schedule 1.3(d) to the Disclosure Schedules as soon as is commercially practicable. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth on Schedule 1.3(d) to the Disclosure Schedules, Purchasers shall pay to Novatel the Armstrong Holdback Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account set forth on Schedule 1.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedules. The payment of the Armstrong Holdback Amount shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

1.4    Earn-out.

(a)    Within forty five (45) days following the end of June and December of each calendar year following Closing through the end of the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchasers shall provide to Novatel a report setting forth the number of each type of Module Product sold during the respective reporting period and the gross revenue attributable to sales of each of the Module Products during such period. As soon as practicable but not later than forty five (45) days after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchasers shall deliver to Novatel a statement (the “Earn-out Revenue Statement”) setting forth the number of each type of Module Product sold during the two (2) year period immediately following the Closing, the gross

2


revenue attributable to sales of each of the Module Products during such two (2) year period, and the aggregate gross revenue from such sales (the “Final Revenue Amount”).

(b)    Novatel shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the Earn-out Revenue Statement from Purchasers to dispute any amount on the Earn-out Revenue Statement, including the Final Revenue Amount, by providing written notice to Purchasers of such dispute (a “Dispute Notice”) within such thirty (30) day period. If Novatel provides Purchasers with a Dispute Notice, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute as promptly as practicable and shall make available to each other and any of their respective Representatives as necessary for the review and resolution of the dispute, all relevant books, records and personnel and provide access to actual physical inventory, as reasonably requested by Purchasers and Novatel, as applicable.

(c)    In the event the parties are unable to resolve any dispute regarding the Final Revenue Amount, such dispute shall be submitted to, and all issues having a bearing on such dispute shall be resolved by an independent certified accountant agreed upon by both parties (the “Independent Accountant”) whose written determination as to the Final Revenue Amount shall be conclusive and binding on all parties. All fees and expenses charged by the Independent Accountant shall be shared equally by Purchasers, on the one hand, and Novatel, on the other hand.

(d)    In the event the Final Revenue Amount, as determined in this Section 1.4, is greater than $40,000,000, Purchasers shall pay to Novatel, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Novatel, an amount in cash equal to (i) the product of (A) the Final Revenue Amount times (B) 0.25, minus (ii) $10,000,000, within five (5) Business Days of the Final Revenue Amount being determined. In the event the Final Revenue Amount, as determined in this Section 1.4, is equal to or less than $40,000,000, no payment shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.4(d). Any payment made by Purchasers to Novatel pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

1.5    Assumed Liabilities.

(a)    As part of the consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Assets, each Purchaser shall, at the Closing, by its execution and delivery of a bill of sale and assignment and assumption agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Bill of Sale”), assume, agree to perform, and in due course pay and discharge, only the following Liabilities of Seller (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(i)    the obligations of Seller under each Transferred Contract, except to the extent such obligations (i) are not disclosed on the face of such Transferred Contract or (ii) arise from or relate to any breach by Seller of any provision of such Transferred Contract; and

(ii)    all outstanding warranty claims or warranty claims made following the Closing Date related to or in connection with the Purchased Assets or Module Products sold by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Warranty Claims”).

(b)    Purchasers shall not assume, be deemed to assume, or otherwise have any responsibility or obligation for any Liabilities other than the Assumed Liabilities, and Seller shall

3


continue to be responsible for such Liabilities.

1.6    Transfer Taxes. Any and all transfer, sales, use, purchase, value added, excise, real property, personal property, intangible, stamp, or similar Taxes (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) imposed on, or resulting from, the transfer of any Purchased Assets (including those Transfer Taxes imposed on Purchasers or the Purchased Assets) shall be borne by Novatel.

1.7    Allocation. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Purchasers and Novatel shall agree upon a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (and all relevant Assumed Liabilities and other relevant items) among the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”) in a manner consistent with GAAP. The Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with Code Section 1060, Treasury Regulations Section 1.1060-1(c), and Treasury Regulations Section 1.338. Purchasers and Novatel shall report the transactions for Tax purposes consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, as finally determined. To the extent there are any adjustments to the Purchase Price or Assumed Liabilities, the parties shall make appropriate adjustments to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, as finally determined, to reflect such changes. Without derogating from the foregoing, Purchasers shall be able to allocate the Purchase price among their Affiliates as they deem fit.

Novatel represents and warrants to Purchasers (which representations and warranties shall survive the Closing as provided in Section 6.4, and on which Purchasers shall be absolutely entitled to rely regardless of any examinations, inspections, audits and other investigations Purchasers have heretofore made or what information Purchasers may have been provided or may have come into possession, with respect to such representations and warranties), except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules, that the statements contained in this ARTICLE III are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement.

5


3.3    No Violations and Consents.

(a)    Except as set forth on Schedule 3.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith by Seller, nor the consummation of the Acquisition by Seller or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith by Seller, does or will, after the giving of notice, or the lapse of time, or otherwise, (i) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, the formation or governing documents of Seller, any Law or Order, or any permit or Transferred Contract, to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or any of the Purchased Assets are subject or bound; (ii) result in the creation of any Lien or other adverse interest upon any of the Purchased Assets; (iii) terminate, amend or modify, or give any party the right to terminate, amend, modify, abandon, or refuse to perform, any Transferred Contract to which Seller is a party; or (iv) accelerate or modify, or give any party the right to accelerate or modify, the time within which, or the terms under which, any duties or obligations are to be performed, or any rights or benefits are to be received, under any Transferred Contract to which Seller is a party.

3.7    Contracts.

(a)    All of the Transferred Contracts are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against the Seller party thereto and, to the Knowledge of Seller, against the other parties thereto, except, in each case, as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity).

For the avoidance of doubt, no license agreements or other agreements, contracts or undertakings are to be transferred hereunder to Purchasers as Purchased Assets except for the Transferred Contracts.

(c)    None of Seller, nor to the Knowledge of Seller, any other Person is in material breach of, or material default under, any Transferred Contract, and no event or action has occurred, is pending or threatened, which, after the giving of notice, or the lapse of time, or otherwise, would reasonably be expected to constitute or result in a material breach or default by Seller, or, to the Knowledge of Seller, any other Person, or a material default by Seller, or any other Person, under any Transferred Contract. There is no material claim, dispute, disagreement, controversy or litigation with respect to any Transferred Contract. There are no renegotiations, attempts to renegotiate or outstanding rights to negotiate any amount to be paid or payable to or by Seller under any Transferred Contract other than with respect to non-material amounts in the Ordinary Course, and no Person has made a written demand for such renegotiation. Seller has not released or waived any of its rights under any Transferred Contract.

3.8    Litigation. Other than as set forth on Schedule 3.8 hereto, Seller is not subject to any outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling or charge and is not a party or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or investigation of, in, or before any court or quasi-judicial or administrative agency of any state, local, or foreign jurisdiction or before any arbitrator, in each case that relates to the Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities or the Module Products.

3.9    Tax Matters. Seller has filed, in a timely manner with the appropriate governmental agencies and Tax authorities in all jurisdictions in which such filings are required to be filed, all Tax returns that it was required to file in the three (3) years preceding the Closing. There are no Liens on any of the Purchased Assets, Module Products or Assumed Liabilities that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay Tax. There is no dispute, audit or claim of any kind concerning any Tax liability of the Seller claimed or raised by any authority.

3.10    Warranty. Each of the Purchased Assets and the Module Products produced, sold, leased or delivered by Seller pursuant to the Transferred Contracts has been in conformity with all applicable contractual commitments and all express and implied warranties, and Seller has no liability nor is there, to Seller’s Knowledge, a basis for any future liability for replacement or repair thereof or other damages in connection therewith. Other than as set forth in Schedule 3.10 of the Disclosure Schedules, no Purchased Asset is subject to any guaranty, warranty, or other indemnity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Schedule 3.10 of the Disclosure Schedules further sets forth all pending issues with respect to claims in writing for breaches of warranty or injuries (either to the individual or property) as a result of ownership, possession or use of the Purchased Assets or Module Products.


7


3.11    Third Party Consents. Schedule 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list of all Transferred Contracts to which Seller is a party that requires by their terms consent of any third party or parties thereto to avoid breach thereof as a consequence of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

3.13    Intellectual Property.

Seller further represents and warrants that there are no outstanding disputes with any such employee regarding intellectual property rights related to the Purchased Assets or Module Products.

(b)    Neither the Purchased Assets, nor the Module Products (including any Firmware (as defined in the License Agreement)), nor the Licensor Marks infringe upon or violate any right or claims of others, except as set forth in Schedule 3.13(b) of the Disclosure Schedule hereto. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no unauthorized use, infringement or misappropriation of the Purchased Assets, Module Products and the Licensor Marks by any third party and there is no action that is pending or threatened by Seller with respect thereto. Seller has no contractual obligations to pay royalties or license fees based on the sales of the Module Products other than with respect to the contracts with Qualcomm Incorporated and Innopath Software, Inc. set forth on Schedule 3.7 hereto.

3.14    Customers. Schedule 3.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of Seller’s customers with respect to the Purchased Assets and Module Products and the dollar amount of each such customer’s orders during the year ended December 31, 2015 and the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

The representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Section 3, together with the information contained in the Disclosure Schedules and the due diligence information provided to Purchasers, do not omit material information that Seller reasonably believes Purchasers would deem material in order for Purchasers to have manufactured and sell the Module Products in the same manner that Seller currently has manufactured and sells the Module Products.

3.18    No Other Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this ARTICLE III (including the related portions of the Disclosure Schedules), neither Seller nor any other Person has made or makes any other express or implied representation or warranty, either written or oral, on behalf of Seller, including any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Purchased Assets furnished or made available to Purchasers and their Representatives, or any representation or warranty arising from statute or otherwise in law.

5.3    Tax Matters.

(a)    Seller shall be liable for and shall pay all Taxes, whether assessed or unassessed, applicable to the Purchased Assets, in each case attributable to all periods prior to the Closing Date. Purchasers shall be liable for and shall pay all Taxes, whether assessed or unassessed, applicable to the Purchased Assets, in each case attributable to periods beginning on or after the Closing Date.
(b)    Seller, on the one hand, or Purchasers, on the other hand, as the case may be, shall provide reimbursement for any Tax paid by the other that is the responsibility of Seller or Purchasers, respectively, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of any Tax by one party on behalf of any other party, but in no event less than fifteen (15) days prior to such payment, the party paying the Tax shall give notice to such other party of the Tax for which it is responsible, although failure to do so shall not relieve the other party from its Liability under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligation to provide reimbursement pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.3(b) shall not be subject to any of the limitations that apply to the general indemnification provisions under ARTICLE VI.

(c)    Seller and each Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to:

(i)    provide timely written notices to the other parties hereto of any pending or threatened audits or other Tax proceedings relating to the Purchased Assets for taxable periods for which any other party hereto may have a responsibility under this Section 5.3(c) or otherwise; and

(ii)    furnish the other parties hereto with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any audit or other Tax proceeding or information request with respect to any taxable period for which any other party hereto may have a responsibility under this Section 5.3(c) or otherwise.

5.4    Trademark License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller (collectively, “Licensor”) hereby grants to Purchasers a non-exclusive, non-transferable, fully- paid, limited transitional license (without the right to sublicense) to use Licensor’s trademarks and/or service marks “Novatel” and “Enfora” (“Licensor Marks”) solely (i) in connection with the sale of the Batch 1 Inventory and the Batch 2 Inventory and (ii) to permit Purchasers sufficient time (not to exceed twelve (12) months) after the Closing Date to remove the Licensor Marks from the other Purchased Assets. Other than as expressly permitted under this Section 5.4, Purchasers acknowledge and agree that after the expiration of the term of the transitional license granted hereunder, Purchasers will have no right (express or implied) in or to the Licensor Marks and upon the expiration of the term of such license, shall immediately cease any and all use of the Licensor Marks. Throughout the term of the transitional license granted hereunder, Purchasers shall take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to transition to new trademarks and/or service marks. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchasers will not adopt, use, or register any Licensor Marks or any other trademarks, service marks, logos, or name that is identical to or confusingly similar with any trademarks of Licensor. It is understood and agreed that Licensor shall retain all right, title and interest in and to Licensor Marks. Nothing contained in this

11


Agreement will give Purchasers any interest in Licensor Marks. Purchasers agree that it will not, at any time during or after the term of the transitional license granted hereunder, assert or claim any interest in or do anything which may adversely affect the validity or enforceability of any Licensor Marks. Purchasers’ use of Licensor Marks will not tarnish, blur, or dilute the quality associated with Licensor Marks or the associated goodwill. Any benefits (including, without limitation, goodwill) accruing from Purchasers’ use of Licensor Marks will automatically vest in Licensor.

5.5    Manufacturing of Products. Seller shall complete the manufacturing of all products that they have committed to buy from their contract manufacturer and that are part of the Purchased Assets.

5.6    Warranty Claims. In the event any Purchaser is required to resolve any Warranty Claims, such Purchaser shall address and resolve all such Warranty Claims pursuant to Seller’s documented policies and procedures set forth on Schedule 5.6 of the Disclosure Schedules. Such Purchaser shall reasonably consult with Novatel regarding the handling and resolution of such Warranty Claims. To the extent, after consulting with Novatel and adhering to the policies and procedures set forth on Schedule 5.6 of the Disclosure Schedules, such Purchaser is required to repair or replace any Purchased Assets, Novatel shall reimburse such Purchaser for (i) in the case of replacements, the cost of such replacement, (ii) in the case of repairs completed using such Purchaser’s employees, 115% of the cost of such repair, or (iii) in the case of repairs completed by a third party contractor, the amount paid by such Purchaser to such third party.

5.7    Non-compete. Seller shall not, for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, manufacture or sell stand-alone cellular modules; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller or Seller’s Affiliates from designing, manufacturing or selling cellular modules that are incorporated into other products of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates. The foregoing prohibition shall lapse and be of no further force or effect in the event a merger or acquisition of Seller occurs or Seller sells or disposes all or substantially all of its assets.



ARTICLE VI

6.1    Indemnification by Novatel. Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE VI, Novatel agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and its Affiliates, and each of their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by Purchaser Indemnitees arising or resulting from any of the following:

(a)    any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Novatel set forth in ARTICLE III of this Agreement (or the Disclosure Schedules);

(b)    any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller set forth herein; and

(c)    the Taxes for which Seller is liable under Section 1.6 and Section 5.3.


12


6.2    Indemnification by Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE VI, Purchasers covenant and agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Novatel and its Affiliates, and each of their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by Seller Indemnitees arising or resulting from any of the following:

(a)    any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of any Purchaser set forth in ARTICLE IV of this Agreement;

(b)    any breach of any covenant or agreement of any Purchaser set forth herein;

(c)    any Assumed Liability; and

(d)    the Taxes for which any Purchaser is liable under Section 5.3.

6.3    Claim Procedure/Notice of Claim.

(a)    A party entitled or seeking to assert rights to indemnification under this ARTICLE VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification (a “Claim Notice”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) which contains (i) a description and the amount or estimation thereof (the “Claimed Amount”), if then known, of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party and (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE VI for such Losses and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor.

(b)    Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response”) in which the Indemnifying Party shall either: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount or (ii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any or all of the Claimed Amount and the basis for such dispute (in such an event, the Response shall be referred to as an “Objection Notice”). If no Response is delivered by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed that an amount equal to the entire Claimed Amount shall be payable to the Indemnified Party and such Claimed Amount shall be promptly paid to Purchaser Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees, as applicable.

(c)    In the event that the Indemnified Party is entitled or is seeking to assert rights to indemnification under this ARTICLE VI relating to a third-party claim, the Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Action relating to such third-party claim. Such notification shall be given promptly after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Action, shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by such third-party (to the extent then in the possession of the Indemnified Party) and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Action and the amount of the claimed Losses, if then known; provided, however, that no delay, deficiency or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate in writing that the defense of such Action has been materially prejudiced by such delay, deficiency or failure.

13


Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party may assume control of such defense only if it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any Losses that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Action constitute Losses for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VI, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of an Action (A) involving criminal liability; (B) in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that such non-monetary relief would materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party; or (C) in which increased statutory, enhanced or treble damages are sought based on willful misconduct. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the event that an Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the conduct of the defense of any Action or any proposed settlement of any such Action by the Indemnifying Party might be expected to materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s Tax Liability or the ability of the Indemnified Party to conduct its business (including relationships with customers, suppliers or other Persons with whom the Indemnified Party conducts business), the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement or negotiations relating to any such Action at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense at the Indemnified Party’s expense subject to reimbursement as a part of a Claimed Amount. The party not controlling such defense (the “Non-controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Action, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of such Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

6.4    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Determination of Losses.

(a)    Except as set forth in Section 6.4(b) and Section 6.4(c), or otherwise specified therein, the representations and warranties of Novatel and each Purchaser contained in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV, respectively, of this Agreement shall survive for a period ending on the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, at which time such representations and warranties shall terminate.

(b)    The representations and warranties of (i) each Purchaser contained in Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3 and Section 4.4 and (ii) Novatel contained in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 3.4 and Section 3.16 shall survive for five (5) years.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before termination or expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or a notice that, as a result of any claim brought by a third party, the Indemnified Party reasonably expects to incur Losses, then the applicable representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice.

(d)    The representations and warranties of Novatel shall not be deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of Purchasers. The representations and warranties of each Purchaser shall not be deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of Novatel.

(e)    Each covenant of each Purchaser or Seller set forth herein shall survive until such time as each such covenant has been fully performed and satisfied.

6.5    Limitations on Indemnification Obligations.

(a)    Novatel shall have no obligation to indemnify Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to Losses arising under Section 6.1(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses arising thereunder exceeds $50,000 (such amount, the “Basket”), in which case Seller, will be liable for all Losses arising thereunder including the Basket, subject to the other limitations in this Section
6.5; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to Losses arising from fraud, criminal conduct or willful misconduct by Novatel.

(b)    Novatel shall have no obligation to indemnify Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to Losses arising under Section 6.1(a) in excess of the amounts actually paid to and received by Novatel under Section 1.3; provided that the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Novatel shall be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees shall not exceed $1,000,000 (such amount, the “Cap”); provided, however that the Cap shall not apply to Losses from fraud, criminal conduct or willful misconduct by Novatel.

(c)    Purchasers shall have no obligation to indemnify Seller Indemnitees with respect to Losses arising under Section 6.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses arising thereunder exceeds the Basket, in which case each Purchaser will be liable for all Losses arising thereunder including the Basket, subject to the other limitations in this Section 6.5; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to Losses arising from fraud, criminal conduct or willful

15


misconduct by any Purchaser.

(d)    Purchasers shall have no obligation to indemnify Seller Indemnitees under
Section 6.2(a) with respect to Losses in an amount greater than the Cap.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Purchaser Indemnitees’ rights to indemnification with respect to Losses arising under Sections 6.1(b) through 6.1(c), or based upon fraud, criminal conduct or willful misconduct, shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.5(a) and 6.5(b), regardless of whether such rights to indemnification could also have arisen under Section 6.1(a) in absence of such limitations, and (ii) Seller Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification with respect to Losses arising under Sections 6.2(b) through 6.2(d), or based upon fraud, criminal conduct or willful misconduct, shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.5(c) and 6.5(d).

(f)    Any indemnity payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE VI shall be treated for all Tax purposes by the parties hereto as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(g)    For purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred and calculating the amount of Losses in connection with a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE VI, each of the representations and warranties that contains any qualifications as to “materiality” shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualifications, and any such qualifications shall be disregarded for purposes of this ARTICLE VI.

6.6    Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to (i) Losses based on fraud, criminal conduct or willful misconduct, and (ii) injunctive relief or other equitable relief (whether arising by statute or under common law) to restrain or otherwise remedy a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or to specifically enforce this Agreement, the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE VI will be the exclusive remedy of Purchasers and Novatel with respect to any and all monetary damages arising under this Agreement.

6.7    No Right of Set-Off. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to set off the amount of any such Losses finally determined in accordance with Section 6.3 above against any payment to Seller pursuant to Section 1.3 or Section 1.4.
