Section 3.4 Books and Records; Audits.

 

(a) The Purchaser will keep accurate books and records in sufficient detail to permit the Seller to confirm the accuracy of the calculation of the payment of the Seller Sublicense Income and the issuance of any Common Stock hereunder.

(b) Upon reasonable notice, key personnel, books, and records will be made reasonably available and will be open to examination by representatives or agents of the Seller during regular office hours to determine their accuracy and assess the Purchaser’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Indemnification by the Purchaser.

24

 

 

Section 8.3 Indemnification Procedures. In the event that any Person entitled to indemnification under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) is seeking indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall (a) inform, in writing, the indemnifying Party under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 (the “Indemnifying Party”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Indemnified Party receives any written notice of any Action against or involving the Indemnified Party by a Governmental Authority or other Person, or otherwise discovers the Liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification (the “Claim”), (b) permit the Indemnifying Party to assume direction and control of the defense of the Claim (provided, that the Indemnifying Party may not enter into a settlement of the Claim that would adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder, or impose any obligations on the Indemnified Party in addition to those set forth in the Transaction Documents, without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld), (c) cooperate as reasonably requested (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) in the defense of the Claim and (d) undertake all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, damage or expense with respect to the Claim(s). Without limiting the foregoing, any Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of a Claim for which it has sought indemnification hereunder and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, that such employment will be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense (or has failed to continue to defend such Claim in good faith) and employ counsel in accordance with this Section 8.3, in which case the indemnified Party will be allowed to control the defense.

Any claim for indemnification on account of breach of a representation, warranty or covenant will survive the applicable termination date if a Party, prior to such termination date, advises the other Party in writing of facts that constitute or may give rise to an alleged claim for indemnification, specifying in reasonable detail the basis under this Agreement for such claim.

 

Section 8.5 Insurance Proceeds. The amount of any Losses required to be reimbursed under this Article 8 sustained by an Indemnified Party shall be reduced by any amount received by such Indemnified Party with respect thereto under any insurance coverage or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefore (net of any expenses incurred in recovering such monies, any deductible and any increase in premiums as a result of such claim); provided, the amount of such reduction shall not exceed the amount of such Losses; provided, further, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 for the amount of such Losses net of the amount of such reductions (net of any expenses incurred in recovering such monies, any deductible and any increase in premiums as a result of such claim). The Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under such insurance coverage and from such other Person alleged to have responsibility. If an Indemnified Party receives an amount under insurance coverage or from such other Person with respect to Losses sustained at any time subsequent to any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article 8, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the applicable Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount received by the Indemnified Party.

 

25

 

 

Section 8.6 Duty to Mitigate.
