Section 4.04        Consents.







(a)          Seller shall use commercial reasonable efforts to obtain, and Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in obtaining, any third-party consents necessary for the assignment of the Distribution Contracts and the conveyance of the other Transferred Assets (which shall not require any payment by Buyer to any such third party or increase the incurrence by Buyer of any cost or expense.  Receipt of consents of Seller’s principal secured creditor, YA Global Investments, L.P., to enter into consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the consents of the Distributors
to assign to Buyer the Distribution Contracts, if required by the terms thereof, are conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close under this Agreement.







(b)          To the extent that any Distribution Contract may not be assigned without the consent of any third party, and such consent is not obtained prior to Closing, this Agreement and any assignment executed pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment of any such contract; provided, however, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to the extent feasible in effecting a lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement under which Buyer shall receive the benefits under such Distribution Contract from and after the Closing, and Buyer shall pay and perform Seller’s obligations arising
thereunder from and after the Closing in accordance with its terms (if applicable to the extent of the benefits received).

Prior to the Closing, Seller shall negotiate with each of its creditors set forth on Schedule 4.05 (each, a “CBC Creditor,” and together, the “CBC Creditors”) the settlement, compromise, satisfaction, discharge all of the principal of, and interest on, the liabilities and obligations of Seller to such CBC Creditors on such terms and conditions
as may be acceptable and obtain the release by all of such CBC Creditors of Seller, PBE, and PLAYBOY ENTERPRISES INTERNATIONAL, INC., for all further liability thereunder, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference (“Satisfaction and Release”).







Section 4.06        Notice of Changes.  Prior to the Closing, Seller shall notify Buyer, in writing, if Seller becomes aware of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes, or would cause or constitute, a material breach of any of Seller’s representations or warranties as of the date of this Agreement, or if Seller becomes aware of the occurrence, after the date of this Agreement, of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a material breach of any such presentation or warranty had such representation or warranty been
made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition.  Should any such fact or condition require any change in the Seller’s Schedules if the Seller’s Schedules were dated the date of the occurrence or discovery of any such fact or condition, Seller will promptly deliver to Buyer a supplement to the Seller’s Schedules specifying such change.  During the same period, Seller will promptly notify Buyer of the occurrence of any event that will make satisfaction of the conditions in Article V impossible or unlikely.  The disclosure and supplements by Seller pursuant to this section, to the extent that Seller notifies Buyer, in writing, simultaneous with the delivery of such disclosure or supplement to Buyer, that: (a) the breach or breaches that are the
subject of such disclosure or supplement have made or are reasonably expected to make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article V impossible or unlikely; and (b) as a result of such breach or breaches, Buyer has the right not to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be deemed to amend or supplement the Seller’s Schedules attached hereto for purposes of post-Closing indemnification claims under Section 8.02 (but not for purposes of Section 7.01(d)(i).

Article VIII


Indemnification







Section 8.01        By Buyer and Seller.  Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other party and to compensate and reimburse such party for and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including settlement costs and any legal, accounting, or other expenses for investigating or defending any actions or threatened actions) reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party (as defined herein) (together, “Damages”) in connection with
each and all of the following:


 


14




  





  











  











(a)          any breach by the Indemnifying Party (as defined herein) of any representation or warranty in this Agreement;







(b)          any breach of any covenant, agreement, or obligation of the Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, or document contemplated by this Agreement; and







(c)          any misrepresentation contained in any statement, exhibit, certificate, or schedule furnished by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.







Section 8.02        By Seller.  Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and to compensate and reimburse Buyer for and against from any and all Damages reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with each and all of the following:







(a)          any claims against, or liabilities or obligations of, Seller or against the Transferred Assets not specifically assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and







(b)          any warranty claim or product liability claim relating to: (i) Products manufactured or distributed by or on behalf of Seller prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) Seller’s business or operations prior to the Effective Time.







Section 8.03        By Buyer.  Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and to compensate and reimburse Seller for and against from any and all Damages reasonably incurred by Seller in connection with each and all of the following:







(a)          the failure or refusal to pay, compromise, discharge, or otherwise fully satisfy any of the Assumed Liabilities specifically assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and

Section 8.04        Claims for Indemnification.  Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify, in writing, the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim.  In the event any such claim for indemnification hereunder results from or in
connection with any claim or legal proceedings by any party, the notice to the Indemnifying Party shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom.  The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless suit shall have been instituted against it and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit after notification thereof as provided in Section 8.05 hereof.


 


15




  





  











  













Section 8.05        Defense by Indemnifying Party.  In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out any claim or legal proceeding by a person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party may, at its sole cost and expense, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding if it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party respecting all elements of such claim.  The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate (but
not control) the defense of any such action, with its counsel and at its own expense.  If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom within 30 days after the date such claim is made:







(a)          the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate; and







(b)          the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense.  If the Indemnifying Party thereafter seeks to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such third-party claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the Indemnified Party did not defend or settle such third-party claim in a reasonably prudent manner.







Section 8.06        Limitation on Liability.







(a)          Seller shall not have any obligation to indemnify Buyer pursuant to this Article VIII until the Damages indemnifiable thereunder exceed an amount equal to $50,000 (the “Deductible Amount”), whereupon Seller shall then be liable to Buyer for Damages in excess of the Deductible Amount, provided, however, that the maximum monetary liability of Seller (including any affiliate or representative of
Seller) pursuant to this Article VIII shall not exceed $500,000.







(b)           Buyer shall not have any obligation to indemnify Seller pursuant to this Article VIII until the Damages indemnifiable thereunder exceed the Deductible Amount, whereupon Buyer shall then be liable to Seller for Damages in excess of the Deductible Amount, provided, however, that the maximum monetary liability of Buyer (including any affiliate or representative of Buyer) pursuant to this
Article VIII shall not exceed $500,000.







(c)           Each person entitled to indemnification shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate all Damages after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable or recoverable under this Agreement or in connection herewith.

Article IX


Legal Matters







Section 9.01        Equitable Relief.  The parties hereto agree the failure of any party to perform any obligation or duty that each has agreed to perform shall cause irreparable harm to the parties willing to perform the obligations and duties herein, for which they cannot be adequately compensated by money damages.  An order of specific performance against a party in default under the terms of this Agreement would be equitable and would not work a hardship on the defaulting party.  Accordingly, in the event of default by any party hereto, the nondefaulting party, in
addition to any other remedies that are available at law or in equity, shall have the right to compel specific performance by the defaulting party of any obligation or duty herein.







Section 9.02        Governing Law.  The validity, construction, and performance of this Agreement, and any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be governed by the laws of the state of Utah, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether the state of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state of Utah.







Section 9.03        Consent to the Exclusive Jurisdiction of the Courts of Utah.







(a)          Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of all state and federal courts having jurisdiction in Salt Lake County, Utah, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts to which an appeal may be taken from such courts, for the purpose of any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing, or any other actual, threatened, or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of any entity or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, in which an Indemnified Party was, is, or will be
involved as a party or otherwise, including any proceeding relating to ancillary measures in aid of arbitration, provisional remedies, and interim relief, or any proceeding to enforce any arbitral decision or award.







(b)          Each party covenants that it shall not challenge, set aside, or seek to challenge or set aside any decision, award, or judgment obtained in accordance with the provisions hereof.







(c)          Each of the parties hereto hereby expressly waives any and all objections it may have to venue, including the inconvenience of such forum, in any of such courts.







Section 9.04        Waiver of Jury Trial. Without limiting the provisions in this Agreement relating to arbitration, each party hereto hereby voluntarily and irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury in any proceeding brought in connection with this Agreement, any of the related agreements and documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.







Section 9.05        Limitation on Damages. Each party hereby waives, releases, and discharges, for itself and on behalf of all of its indemnitees, all rights to, and each party hereby disclaims any obligations for, all punitive, special, or exemplary damages, however characterized, whether in contract or in tort, at law or in equity.

Article X


Obligations after Closing

Additionally, Seller and Buyer shall agree to make available to the other, at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice, relevant records and personnel in connection with the preparation of a defense or the participation in a defense, participation in the prosecution of claim or litigation, and negotiation of a settlement relating to any pending, future, or threatened litigation, or
government agency proceeding (including a tax audit) involving the conduct of Seller’s business [Transferred Assets] before or after the Closing, as the case may be, or in the perfection, registration, or transferring of any copyright, trademark right, or other proprietary information or right acquired by Buyer hereunder.







Article XI


Applicable Statute of Limitations







The parties intend to shorten the statute of limitations applicable to any claim for relief for any cause of action arising under this Agreement as set forth herein.  All representations and warranties made in Articles II and III shall be continuing and shall survive the Closing, but shall expire on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and all remedies exercisable by Buyer respecting such representations and warranties shall terminate on such first anniversary; provided, however, that if a claim for indemnification
has been asserted pursuant to Article VIII prior to or as of the first anniversary of the Closing Date, such representation and warranty shall remain in full force and effect until full and complete resolution of such claim pursuant to Article VIII hereof.
