Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement .

On January 26, 2012, RealNetworks, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Intel Corporation (“Intel”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Intel will acquire certain patents, patent applications and related rights held by the Company (the “Patent Assets”) and certain assets of the Company relating to its Next Generation Video codec technologies (the “Codec Assets”), in exchange for cash consideration of $120,000,000 and the assumption of certain liabilities of the Company, subject to the potential adjustments provided for in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Sale”).

The Asset Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Company regarding the Patent Assets and Codec Assets and other representations and warranties by the Company and Intel customary for transactions of this nature, covenants by the Company regarding the operation of its business in relation to the Patent Assets and Codec Assets between the date of signing of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the closing date of the Asset Sale, and indemnification provisions whereby each party will indemnify the other party and its affiliates and representatives for breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and certain other matters.

The consummation of the Asset Sale is subject to closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if required, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and any similar requirements that may exist under the competition and merger control laws of the Republic of Korea. The Asset Sale is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2012.

Concurrently, and in connection with entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company and Intel have also entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will obtain a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, irrevocable (except as set forth in the License Agreement) and worldwide license (without the right to grant sublicenses) under the Patent Assets for use in connection with the Company’s businesses. The transferability of the License Agreement is limited in the event of a change of control or character of the Company, as set forth in the provisions attached as Exhibit C to the License Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and License Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement and License Agreement, attached as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

As used herein, “ Assumed Immigration Rights Liabilities ” means the liabilities and obligations of Seller relating to the Immigration Rights.

Section 1.5 Excluded Liabilities . Seller shall retain any and all Liabilities of Seller and its Subsidiaries other than the Assumed Immigration Rights Liabilities (the “ Excluded Liabilities ”), including:

(a) any Liabilities of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of or related to the Excluded Assets;

3


Section 1.7 Tax Matters .

(a) Allocation . The parties hereto intend that the purchase of the Purchased Assets shall be treated as a taxable transaction for federal and state income tax purposes. Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare an allocation of the Purchase Price (plus the Assumed Immigration Rights Liabilities to the extent treated as “amount realized” for U.S. federal income tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and for applicable Indemnified Transfer Tax purposes which shall be submitted to Seller for review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (such amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.7(a) , the “ Allocation ”). If Seller agrees in writing with the Allocation or fails to object in writing to the Allocation within ten (10) days following receipt thereof from Purchaser, the Allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and Seller for all Tax purposes, and the parties agree that all Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) Form 8594) and other Tax filings shall be prepared in a manner consistent with (and the parties shall not otherwise take a position on a Tax Return or other Tax filing that is inconsistent with) the Allocation unless required by the IRS or any other applicable Taxing Authority. If the parties are unable to agree on the Allocation after good faith consultation, the matters in dispute shall be referred for resolution to a mutually agreeable, nationally recognized accounting firm that is not then providing Tax advice to Purchaser or Seller or their respective Affiliates (the “ Accountant ”), which expense shall be borne equally by the parties. The Accountant shall resolve any disputed matters as promptly as practicable, and the Accountant’s decision with respect to any such matter shall be conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Seller and their respective Affiliates for applicable Tax purposes. If the Accountant is unable to resolve any such matter prior to the due date (including extensions, which will be sought as necessary) for filing any Tax Return reflecting any such matter, then such Tax Return (including Form 8594) shall be timely filed and shall be amended as necessary to reflect the Accountant’s decision.

(b) Transfer Taxes . Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay any Transfer Taxes incurred by Seller or Purchaser solely as a result of the sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (the “ Indemnified Transfer Taxes ”) (it being understood that Purchaser shall not be responsible for any Transfer Taxes arising from transfers between Seller and its Subsidiaries or among Seller’s Subsidiaries). Seller shall cooperate, to the extent reasonably requested and permitted by Applicable Law, in minimizing the amount of, and obtaining any applicable exemptions with respect to, any such Indemnified Transfer Taxes. Seller and its Affiliates shall not (i) file a Tax Return with respect to Indemnified Transfer Taxes without the advance written consent of Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (ii) without limiting Purchaser’s obligation under this Section 1.7(b) , report the sale of the Purchased Assets hereunder as a taxable transaction for purposes of the “business and occupation” (or similar) Tax in the State of Washington or any city or other political subdivision thereof (absent the requirement of any audit or other proceeding that ultimately results in a contrary conclusion). To the extent Seller is required to file any Tax Return with respect to Indemnified Transfer Taxes, such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Allocation (subject to the consultation and dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 1.7(a) ), and Seller shall provide Purchaser a draft of such Tax Return no later than ten (10) days prior to the earlier of the filing or due date thereof. Seller shall incorporate any changes to such Tax Returns that Purchaser reasonably requests prior to the filing thereof. To the extent a Taxing Authority provides notice to Seller of an audit or other proceeding of Seller related to any such

 

4


Indemnified Transfer Taxes, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser and Purchaser shall assume responsibility for such audit or other proceeding. Purchaser shall have authority to control, settle or defend, any proposed adjustment to such Indemnified Transfer Taxes, and Seller shall cooperate fully as reasonably requested by Purchaser in its defense or settlement of any proposed adjustment to the Indemnified Transfer Tax. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 1.7(b) and Section 8.3(b) , this Section 1.7(b) shall control.

(c) Withholding . Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts Purchaser determines is required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax Law or under any applicable legal requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(d) Property Taxes . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of any personal property taxes or similar ad valorem taxes attributable to the Purchased Assets for which Taxes are reported on a Tax Return covering a period commencing before the Closing Date and ending thereafter (a “ Straddle Period Tax ”), any such Straddle Period Taxes shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller on a per diem basis. The party required by law to pay any such Straddle Period Tax (the “ Paying Party ”) to the extent such payment exceeds the obligation of the Paying Party hereunder shall provide the other (the “ Non-Paying Party ”) with proof of payment, and within ten (10) days of receipt of such proof of payment, the Non-Paying Party shall reimburse the Paying Party for the Non-Paying Party’s share of such Straddle Period Taxes. The party required by law to file a Tax Return with respect to Straddle Period Taxes shall do so within the time period prescribed by Law.

Section 1.8 Further Actions .

(a) On the Closing Date (and thereafter to the extent necessary to convey the Purchased Assets to Purchaser), Purchaser and Seller shall consummate the Remote Telecommunication Protocol with respect to the Purchased Assets.

(b) Any software, source code, or digital property transferred to Purchaser upon Closing shall be digitally delivered by Seller and received by Purchaser in California. In no event shall any software, source code, or digital property, or any back-ups or replacement copies thereof, be transferred by Seller to Purchaser by tangible media.

Section 1.9 Option to Assume Contractor Agreements . At the Closing, at Purchaser’s option exercisable in its sole discretion, Seller shall assign, and Purchaser or its designees shall assume any or all of the Contracts listed in Schedule 1.9 (each, a “ Contractor Agreement ”). If Purchaser exercises its option to assume any Contractor Agreement, Purchaser shall or shall cause its applicable designee to assume, satisfy and discharge when due the executory liabilities and obligations of Seller related to the Codec Assets that are required to be performed after the Closing under such Contractor Agreement. At the Closing, Seller shall execute such release and termination of any non-competition or similar covenant with any contractor who is a party to such a Contractor Agreement (a “ Contractor ”), as reasonably requested by Purchaser, to the

 

5


extent necessary to permit such Contractor to perform services for Purchaser from and after the Closing. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Contractor an acknowledgement of the assignment and assumption under this Section 1.9 and the agreement of such Contractor that any non-competition or similar covenant between the Contractor and Seller will be for the benefit of Purchaser from and after the Closing.

ARTICLE II

Seller is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing (to the extent such concept or a comparable status is recognized), in each jurisdiction where the character of the Purchased Assets makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to have such power and authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect. A complete and correct list of all Subsidiaries of Seller that owned any of the Purchased Assets prior to the time of the Closing (the “ Selling Subsidiaries ”), including their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or formation, is set forth in Section 2.1 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

Section 2.2 Authority .

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which Seller is or, at the Closing, will become a party, and the consummation of the Transactions, have been duly and validly authorized by the board of directors of Seller. No other corporate proceedings on the part of Seller are necessary to authorize this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, or to consummate the Transactions. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which Seller is or, at the Closing, will become a party have been or, at the Closing, will be, as the case may be, duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the other parties hereto and thereto, constitute or, with respect to any Transaction Document to be executed at the Closing, will constitute; the valid, legal and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally or to general principles of equity.

(b) Seller, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, effective as of the Closing, hereby grants to Purchaser a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, perpetual, fully transferable, irrevocable license with the right to sublicense any third party Intellectual Property Rights contained in, or used in connection with, the Codec Assets to make, use, sell, copy, offer for sale, import, export, create derivative works, improvements or modifications based upon or, distribute, display, perform, disclose and otherwise exploit any Purchaser or Purchaser Subsidiary product or service, in each case only to the extent Seller, or any Selling Subsidiary, has the right to grant such license(s) or sublicense(s) to Purchaser without payment of additional consideration to the owner or licensor of such Intellectual Property Rights. If additional consideration is required, Seller shall disclose such information to Purchaser and provide Purchaser (i) the option of obtaining such license or sublicense rights at Purchaser’s expense; and (ii) reasonable assistance associated with such matters.

(c) If Purchaser is unable to enforce the Patent Assets or the Codec Intellectual Property Rights against a third party as a result of any Applicable Law that prohibits enforcement of such rights by a transferee or licensee of such rights, Seller agrees to assign to Purchaser such rights as may be required by Purchaser to enforce the Patent Assets or the Codec Intellectual Property Rights, as applicable, in its own name.

Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, to preserve and protect all privileges and immunities with respect to Protected Communications to the greatest extent available under Applicable Law. To the extent that Seller retains control of any privilege or immunity with respect to communications or work product relating to the prosecution, defense or enforcement of the Purchased Patents before the Closing Date, Seller shall not waive or withdraw such privilege or immunity or knowingly engage in any act or omission that would reasonably result in a waiver or withdrawal without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

Seller shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) any such defense at its sole cost and expense. Purchaser shall seek the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed by Seller in its sole discretion) in connection with Purchaser’s agreement to any settlement or compromise of any such third party Action. Any such written consent by Seller shall represent the agreement of Seller that the Losses incurred in connection therewith shall be indemnifiable hereunder. In the event that Purchaser shall fail to obtain such written consent of Seller, Purchaser may agree to any such settlement or compromise, and may make a Purchaser Indemnification Claim therefor, but the resolution of such claim (including whether and to what extent Purchaser or any other Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for such Purchaser Indemnification Claim) shall remain subject to this Article, provided further that Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover the amount of such settlement to the extent that the terms of such settlement are not commercially reasonable.

(b) If Seller becomes aware of a third party Action against a Seller Indemnitee which may result in a claim of indemnification for a Seller Indemnitee under this Article (a “ Seller Indemnification Claim ”), Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such Action, shall conduct the defense of such Action on behalf of the Seller Indemnitees and shall, to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser from time to time, give updates as to the status of such Action and Seller shall conduct such defense in a commercially reasonable manner. The failure to so notify Purchaser of the commencement of any such Action will not relieve the Purchaser from liability in connection therewith unless and to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Action. Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) any

 

40


such defense at its sole cost and expense. Seller shall seek the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed by Purchaser in its sole discretion) in connection with Seller’s agreement to any settlement or compromise of any such third party Action. Any such written consent by Purchaser shall represent the agreement of Purchaser that the Losses incurred in connection therewith shall be indemnifiable hereunder. In the event that Seller shall fail to obtain such written consent of Purchaser, Seller may agree to any such settlement or compromise, and may make a Seller Indemnification Claim therefor, but the resolution of such claim (including whether and to what extent Seller or any other Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement for such Seller Indemnification Claim) shall remain subject to this Article, provided further that Seller shall not be entitled to recover the amount of such settlement to the extent that the terms of such settlement are not commercially reasonable.

(c) Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such third party Action and shall provide such reasonable cooperation at the reasonable request of the party conducting such defense, negotiation or settlement (the “ Defending Party ”). Neither party may agree to any settlement or compromise of such third party Action, unless such settlement or compromise does not obligate the other party to take or refrain from taking any action. Any such settlement or compromise shall represent the agreement of the Defending Party that the Losses incurred in connection therewith shall be indemnifiable hereunder.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that a Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee (as applicable, an “ Indemnitee ”) seeks a recovery, in accordance with the terms of this Article, in respect of a Purchaser Indemnification Claim or Seller Indemnification Claim (as applicable, an “ Indemnification Claim ”), Purchaser (on behalf of such other Purchaser Indemnitee, if applicable) or Seller (on behalf of such other Seller Indemnitee, if applicable) shall deliver a written notice (a “ Claim Notice ”) to Seller or Purchaser (such party obligated to provide indemnification under this Article, the “ Indemnifying Party ”), as the case may be. Each Claim Notice shall, with respect to each Indemnification Claim set forth therein, (i) specify in reasonable detail and in good faith the nature of the Indemnification Claim being made and (ii) state the aggregate Dollar amount of Losses to which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article that have been incurred, or a good faith estimate of the aggregate Dollar amount of such Losses reasonably expected to be incurred, by such Indemnitee pursuant to such Indemnification Claim (the “ Claim Amount ”).

(b) If the Indemnifying Party wishes to object to the allowance of some or all Indemnification Claims made in a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party must deliver a written objection to Purchaser (on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnitee) or Seller (on behalf of any Seller Indemnitee), as the case may be, within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Notice expressing such objection and explaining in reasonable detail and in good faith the basis therefor. Following receipt by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, of the Indemnifying Party’s written objection, if any, Purchaser (on behalf of any other Purchaser Indemnitee, if applicable) or Seller (on behalf of any other Seller Indemnitee, if applicable), as the case may be, and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly, and within five (5)

 

41


Business Days of the other party’s request to do so, meet to discuss the rights of the respective parties with respect to each Indemnification Claim that is the subject of such written objection. If the parties should agree upon such rights, (i) a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and executed by Purchaser (on behalf of any other Purchaser Indemnitee, if applicable) or Seller (on behalf of any other Seller Indemnitee, if applicable), as the case may be, and the Indemnifying Party and (ii) with respect to any Indemnification Claim, as promptly as practicable and within five (5) Business Days following execution of such memorandum, subject to Section 8.4(d) below, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to Purchaser (on behalf of any other Purchaser Indemnitee, if applicable) or to Seller (on behalf of any other Seller Indemnitee, if applicable), as the case may be, in cash the aggregate Dollar amount of Losses payable by such Indemnifying Party to such Indemnitee pursuant to such memorandum. In the event that the parties do not prepare and sign such a memorandum or such memorandum specifically provides that it does not address in full the written objections timely delivered, within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt by Purchaser (on behalf of any other Purchaser Indemnitee, if applicable) or Seller (on behalf of any other Seller Indemnitee, if applicable), as the case may be, from the Indemnifying Party of the written objection, then Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, may commence an Action to resolve such dispute and enforce its rights with respect thereto in any court available therefor (subject to the terms of Section 10.6 ).

(c) If Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, does not receive a response from the Indemnifying Party with respect to any Indemnification Claim set forth in a Claim Notice by the end of the twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in Section 8.4(b) above, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to object to such Indemnification Claim and to have agreed that Losses in the amount of the applicable Claim Amount are indemnifiable hereunder and, (ii) with respect to any Purchaser Indemnification Claim, as promptly as practicable and within five (5) Business Days following expiration of such period, subject to Section 8.4(d) below, Seller shall pay the Claim Amount to Purchaser (on behalf of any other Purchaser Indemnitee, if applicable) or (iii) with respect to any Seller Indemnification Claim, as promptly as practicable and within five (5) Business Days following expiration of such period, subject to Section 8.4(d) below, Purchaser shall pay the Claim Amount to Seller (on behalf of any other Seller Indemnitee, if applicable). If not paid, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, may seek enforcement of the obligation with respect to the Indemnification Claim in any court available therefor.

Any amounts paid to Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, in respect of any Indemnification Claim asserted on behalf of an Indemnitee other than Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall be received by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, on behalf of such other Indemnitee.

Section 8.5 Exclusive Remedy . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except as expressly provided otherwise, this Article shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees from and after the Closing Date for any monetary damages for Losses arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction

  (f) conferring by implication, estoppel or otherwise upon Licensee or any Subsidiary of Licensee any license or other right under any patent, copyright, maskwork, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual property right, except the license and rights expressly granted under this Agreement;

 

  (g) an obligation on Licensor to furnish any technical or other information or know how;

 

  (h) an obligation on Licensor to file or maintain any patent or patent application, or to secure any patent; or

 

  (i) imposing any commitment or obligation on either party to close the transactions under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

5.2 NO OTHER WARRANTIES . SOLELY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

6. M ISCELLANEOUS

 

6.1 No Assignment or Assumption .

 

  (a) Except as set forth in Exhibit C, neither this Agreement nor any right, license or obligation under this Agreement shall be assignable or assumable by or from Licensee or any Subsidiary of Licensee, whether in connection with a change in ownership, bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, sale or transfer of all, substantially all or any part of the business or assets of Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, including in connection with any Change of Control (as defined on Exhibit C ) or Change of Character (as defined on Exhibit C ), either voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without Licensor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld at Licensor’s sole discretion.

 

  (b) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any proposed or purported assumption or assignment of any right, license or obligation under this Agreement by Licensee or any Subsidiary of Licensee during or in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding related to Licensee or any Subsidiary of Licensee, the parties agree and stipulate as follows:

 

  (1) this Agreement is an executory agreement under 11 U.S.C. § 365 (Title 11 of the United States Code, referred to in this Section 6.1(b) as the “ Bankruptcy Code ”) or any similar foreign law; and

 

  (2)

as a licensor of “intellectual property” (as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) under this Agreement, in entering this Agreement and granting the rights and license it grants under this

 

-6-


  Agreement, Licensor has, in its efforts to protect its own valuable intellectual property, relied on the particular skills and business qualities of the recipients of such rights. Therefore, the parties agree that if Licensee or any Subsidiary of Licensee enters into any bankruptcy proceedings of any kind, this Agreement is of the type described in Section 365(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code because U.S. patent law prohibits the assignment of a patent license without the consent of the licensor, and thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision, this Agreement may not be assumed or assigned in bankruptcy without Licensor’s consent, which may be withheld in Licensor’s sole discretion.

 

  (c) Any purported assignment, assumption or transfer in violation of this Section 6.1 shall be null and void and without effect. Subject to the restrictions on Licensee and each Subsidiary of Licensee in this Section 6.1, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted respective successors and assigns.

 

6.2 Disclaimer of Consequential Damages . NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ANY LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE OR DATA OR COST OF COVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LICENSED PATENTS.

 

6.3 Compliance with Laws . Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the parties shall be subject to all laws, present and future, of any government having jurisdiction over the parties and this transaction, and to orders, regulations, directions or requests of any such government.

 

6.4 Confidentiality of Terms . Each party shall keep the terms of this Agreement confidential and shall not now or hereafter divulge these terms to any third Person except:

 

  (a) with the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

 

  (b) to any governmental body having jurisdiction and authority to compel such disclosure; provided, that before such disclosure the party compelled to make such disclosure shall seek confidential treatment of any disclosed portion of this Agreement and shall reasonably cooperate with the other party in seeking and securing such confidential treatment;

 

  (c) subject to Sections 6.4(d) and (e), as otherwise may be required by law or legal process, including to legal and financial advisors in their capacity of advising a party in such matters; provided, that such advisors are obligated not to further disclose to any other Person any portion of such information;

 

-7-


  (d) during the course of litigation, so long as the disclosure of such terms are restricted in the same manner as is the confidential information of the other litigating parties and so long as (i) the restrictions are embodied in a court-entered protective order and (ii) the disclosing party informs the other party in writing at least five business days in advance of the disclosure;

 

  (e) in confidence to legal counsel, accountants, banks and financing sources and their advisors having a reasonable need to know, solely in connection with complying with information requests associated with contemplated and executed financial transactions, subject to customary written obligations of non-disclosure, non-use and safe-keeping; or

 

  (f) by Licensor in connection with any divestiture, sale, merger or other transaction involving or related to the Licensed Patents or the prosecution, maintenance, enforcement or defense of the Licensed Patents.

Additionally, each party may use similar terms in other agreements. Neither party shall use or refer to this Agreement or any of its provisions in any promotional activity.

 

6.5 Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its conflict of law principles to the contrary.

 

6.6 Jurisdiction . All disputes and litigation arising out of or related to this Agreement, including matters connected with its performance, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware, the federal courts sitting therein, or the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, pursuant to 10 Del. C. § 346. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts, irrevocably waives all objections to such venue, and if such dispute is brought in Delaware Chancery court, waives its right to trial by jury.

 

6.7 Notice . All notices required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing (regardless of whether the provision requiring such notice expressly calls for such notice to be in writing) and shall be delivered by hand, or if dispatched by prepaid air courier or by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

6.9 Waiver . No modification or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless assented to in writing by the party who would be charged, and the waiver of any breach or default shall not constitute a waiver of any other right under, or any subsequent breach or default of, this Agreement.

6.13 Entire Agreement and Amendment . This Agreement, including its exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and, except where expressly stated otherwise, merges and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions. No amendments or modifications shall be effective unless in a writing signed by an authorized representative of each party. No oral explanation or oral information by either party shall alter the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Neither of the parties shall be bound by any conditions, definitions, warranties, understandings, or representations with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement other than as expressly provided herein.

6.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement is entered into solely between, and may be enforced only by, Licensor and Licensee. This Agreement shall not create or be construed to create any rights of third parties, including Subsidiaries of Licensor, employees, suppliers, franchisees, or customers of either Licensor or Licensee, or to create any obligations or liability of either Licensor or Licensee to any such third parties. For clarity, this paragraph will not be construed to supersede the licenses explicitly granted in Section 2.
