Except as set forth on Schedule 4.25(c) , (i) no Polycom Company has received notice of any infringement, violation, dilution or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Right owned by any third Person, including any written demand, request, or unsolicited offer that any Polycom Company license rights from a third Person, (ii) no Polycom Company is infringing, diluting, misappropriating, or otherwise violating any Intellectual Property Rights owned by any third Person, and (iii)  no Polycom Company has infringed, diluted, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Intellectual Property Rights of any third Person or holder of Equity Interests of any Polycom Company that would be material to the Polycom Companies taken as a whole.

The Polycom Companies possess all source code and other documentation and materials reasonably necessary to compile and operate the material Software owned by the Polycom Companies (“ Polycom Company Software ”), except where the failure to possess all source code and other documentation and materials reasonably necessary to compile and operate the Polycom Company Software would not reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Polycom Companies. The Polycom Companies have validly and effectively obtained the right and license to use, copy, modify, and distribute the third-party programming and materials (“ Third Party Software ”) contained in or combined with the Polycom Company Software. Standard back-up copies and working copies of the source code for the Polycom Company Software and Third Party Software (to the extent held by any Polycom Company) have been made and are securely maintained.

Each Polycom Company has used commercially reasonable efforts to protect its rights in such patents and registered and material unregistered trademarks, and to Polycom’s Knowledge there have been no acts or omissions by any Polycom Company the result of which would be to materially adversely affect the rights of any Polycom Company to apply for or enforce appropriate legal protection of such patents and registered and material unregistered trademarks.

The Polycom Companies are in the process of implementing, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to have in place prior to May 25, 2018, processes and programs for compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679.

Upon any such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification of the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with this Section 6.5(e) , Buyer shall provide a copy thereof to Seller ( provided that provisions in any fee letter may be redacted in a customary manner) and references to “Debt Financing Commitment” shall include such documents as permitted to be amended, supplemented, waived or modified under this Section 6.5(e) and references to “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment as permitted to be amended, supplemented, waived or modified under

An Indemnified Party’s failure to provide an Indemnification Notice within such reasonable time shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligations with respect to the subject of the Indemnification Notice, except to the extent (and only to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b)      Defense of Third Party Claims . If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (at its sole discretion) to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, then (1) Indemnifying shall be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal fees or expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim, so long as the Indemnified Party continues to defend such Third Party Claim; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnified Party shall control such defense; and (3) the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in all respects in the defense of such Third Party Claim, which cooperation shall include but not be limited to the retention and provision to the Indemnified Party relevant information, documents, records and employees of the cooperating Party, allowing the relevant personnel of the cooperating Party to assist the requesting Party in participating in any such matter (including providing testimony in connection with any relevant proceeding), executing and delivering documents or instruments, and taking all such action as the Indemnified Party reasonably requests in connection with such matter. Any settlement or compromise of a Third Party Claim by any Indemnified Party shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the Indemnified Party shall regularly consult with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any Third Party Claim. Following the Closing, this Section 10.4(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis , to the claims against the Polycom Companies contemplated in Section 7.6 and Section 7.7 .

(c)      Defense of the Specific Indemnified Matters . After the Closing, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled (at Buyer’s sole discretion) to assume the defense of any claim or demand relating to the Specific Indemnified Matters (a “ Specific Indemnified Claim ”). If a Buyer Indemnified Party elects to assume the defense of any Specific Indemnified Claim, then (1) Seller shall be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Party for any legal fees (except, with respect to the L&R Matters, to the extent of any transition costs to new counsel where Buyer and Polycom determine to cease using Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati as sole legal counsel, which the Buyer Indemnified Party shall bear) or expenses subsequently incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with such Specific Indemnified Claim, so long as the Buyer Indemnified Party continues to defend such Specific Indemnified Claim actively and in good faith; (2) Seller shall have the right, at Seller’s sole expense, to participate in the defense of such Specific Indemnified Claim and to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the Buyer Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Buyer Indemnified Party shall control such defense; (3) Seller shall cooperate in all respects in the defense of such Specific Indemnified Claim, which cooperation shall include but not be limited to the retention and provision to the Buyer Indemnified Party relevant information, documents, records and employees of Seller, allowing the relevant personnel of Seller to assist the Buyer Indemnified Party in participating in any such matter (including providing testimony in connection with any relevant proceeding), executing and delivering documents or instruments, and taking all such action as the Buyer Indemnified Party reasonably requests in connection with such matter; and (4) any settlement or compromise of a Specific Indemnified Claim by any Buyer Indemnified Party shall be subject to the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the Indemnified Party shall regularly consult with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any Specific Indemnified Claim.
