The execution, delivery and performance by each Seller of this Agreement and the consummation by each Seller of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transactions Documents to which a Seller is party are within the corporate powers of each Seller and have been duly authorized by each Shareholder and all other necessary corporate or shareholder action on the part of each Seller.  The capitalization of each Seller is set forth on Schedule 3.2 together with the name of each shareholder of each Seller and the number of shares owned by such shareholder (the shareholders of MMS and Watchpoints Subsidiary are referred to as the “Shareholders”).  This Agreement has been duly and validly executed by each of the Sellers, and each of the Transaction Documents to which a Seller is party will as of the Closing be duly and validly executed by each Seller, and constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement of each Seller, enforceable against each Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a Proceeding in equity or at law).

(b) To the Knowledge of MMS, the Sellers have taken all commercially reasonable actions to maintain and protect their rights, in the Watchpoints IP including, without limitation, by maintaining the confidentiality of their related Trade Secrets.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except as noted on Schedule 3.11(b) or from whom MMS has purchased Watchpoints Software, Sellers have not disclosed to any Person other than Buyer and to MMS’ Knowledge no Person other than Buyer and MMS’ Affiliates have had access to any Source Code with respect to any Watchpoints Software.  Neither Sellers nor any Affiliate thereof nor any other Person other than Buyer shall have any right under any circumstances or conditions to receive access to any such Source Code at any time after the Closing Date.  All Persons (including, without limitation present and former employees of Sellers) who have developed any Watchpoints IP have executed and delivered to a Seller a valid and enforceable agreement providing for an assignment to a Seller with respect to such Person’s rights in any Watchpoints IP.  All Persons who have worked for Sellers, whether as employees or independent contractors, in developing the Watchpoints Business or who had access to Watchpoints IP, also have executed and delivered to a Seller a valid and enforceable agreement providing for the nondisclosure by such Person of any confidential information of Sellers. All of such agreements are listed in Schedule 3.11(b) and copies thereof have been delivered to Buyer.  All such agreements are and will continue to be in effect after the Closing and, to the Knowledge of MMS, there have been no breaches of such agreements or of any of any Sellers’ security measures or unauthorized access to the Watchpoints IP.  At no time during the conception or reduction to practice of any Watchpoints IP was any developer, inventor or other contributor to such Watchpoints IP operating directly or indirectly under any grants from any Governmental Authority or subject to any employment agreement, invention assignment, nondisclosure agreement or other Contract with any third Person that could adversely affect the rights of Sellers, and upon the Closing, Buyer to such Watchpoints IP.

(e) To the Knowledge of MMS, neither the Watchpoints IP nor the conduct by Sellers of the Watchpoints Business infringes, misappropriates or dilutes any Intellectual Property of any third Person.  Sellers have not received any notice or claim asserting or suggesting that any such infringement, misappropriation or dilution may be occurring or has occurred (including, without limitation, offers to license), nor, to MMS’ Knowledge, is there any basis therefor.  To MMS’ Knowledge, no third party is misappropriating, infringing or diluting any Watchpoints IP.

(f) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11(f), no Open Source Software has been incorporated into or used or distributed with any of the Watchpoints Software or otherwise used by Sellers in any respect in or in connection with the Watchpoints Software, in a manner that requires any publishing of Watchpoints Software source code.  None of the Watchpoints Software is covered by or subject to any Open Source License that requires that source code to be published or made freely available.  Sellers have not created any derivative work based upon any Open Source Software that is used by Sellers in connection with the Watchpoints Business in a manner that requires that those derivative works be published or made feely available.  None of the Watchpoints IP itself is Open Source Software.

 

(g) The Watchpoints Software substantially conforms to the specifications set forth on Schedule 3.11(g)(i).  The Watchpoints Software includes no bugs, errors or specification nonconformities that would, or could be reasonably expected to, give rise to a Material Adverse Effect.  A list of all bugs, errors or specification nonconformities related to Watchpoints Software known to Sellers is set forth on Schedule 3.11(g)(ii).  Schedule 3.11(g)(iii) sets forth all reported problems, bug reports, technical support incidents and warranty claims made with respect to the Watchpoints Business during 2010 and 2011.  Schedule 3.11(g)(iv) set forth all of Sellers’ patches, bug fixes, updates and software releases (including new product releases) with respect to the Watchpoints Business during 2010 and 2011.

 

(h) MMS has provided the Buyer complete and accurate copies of all Intellectual Property Embodiments and Documentation, except for Source Code, which has been available for inspection before Closing, but will be delivered only at Closing.

 

(i) Except for the items of third-party software specifically identified in Schedule 3.11(i), (i) MMS owns all right, title and interest in and to the Watchpoints Software and all Intellectual Property therein or relating thereto and (ii) the Watchpoints Software was written in its entirety by either employees or third party contractors acting within the course and scope of their employment or contracts.  Accordingly, MMS is deemed to be the author,  for purposes of the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101, et. seq. of those portions of the Watchpoints Software that was written by its employees, and assignees of the copyrights to works of which contractors were the author.

 

(j) Schedule 3.11(j) contains a complete list and description of all products (other than the Watchpoints Software) used by or on behalf of Sellers to develop the Watchpoints Software (“MMS’ Tools”) specifying to each item, as applicable: (i) the nature and purpose of the item, including the title, (ii) the owner of the item, and (iii) if Sellers are not the owner thereof, the title of the licenses or other Contracts or arrangements pursuant to which Sellers have or had the right to use MMS’ Tools.

 

(k) In connection with the Watchpoints Business to MMS’ Knowledge, the activities of Sellers’ current and past employees, officers, directors and contractors in connection with their employment or contractual or other relationship with Sellers did not and do not violate any agreements or arrangements that any such employees or consultants had or have with any former employer or any other Person.  No litigation (or other proceeding in or before any Governmental Authority or arbitral body) charging either Seller with infringement or unauthorized or unlawful use of any Watchpoints IP is pending, or to MMS’ Knowledge, threatened; nor, to MMS’ Knowledge, is there any reasonable basis for any such litigation or proceeding.

 

  

15

  

 

(l) Each present or past employee, officer, director, consultant or any other Person who authored, conceived, created, developed or reduced to practice any part of any Watchpoints IP, either: (i) is a party to a Contract that conveys or obligates such Person to convey to either Seller any and all right, title and interest in and to all such Watchpoints IP authored, conceived, created, developed or reduced to practice by such Person, (ii) as to copyrighted or copyrightable material created in the course of such Person’s employment with or engagement on behalf of either Seller is a party to a “work made for hire” Contract pursuant to which such Seller is deemed as a matter of Law to be the original owner/author of all proprietary rights in such material, or (iii) otherwise has by operation of Law vested in such Seller any and all right, title and interest in and to all such Watchpoints IP authored, conceived, created, developed or reduced to practice by such Person.  To Sellers’ Knowledge, at no time during the conception or reduction to practice of any Watchpoints IP was any developer, inventor or other contributor to such Watchpoints IP operating directly or indirectly under any grants from any governmental authority or subject to any employment agreement, invention assignment, nondisclosure agreement or other Contract with any Person that could adversely affect the rights of Sellers, and upon the Closing, Buyer to such Watchpoints IP.

3.12   Advisory Fees.  There is no broker, finder, agent or other intermediary who has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of any Seller or its Affiliates and is entitled to any fee, commission or reimbursement of expenses upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, no employee, officer or director of MMS is considered to be a broker, finder, agent or other intermediary of MMS, even if they are acting as a finder for, or are planning to become employees of, Function(x).  Sellers consent to Buehler acting as a finder for Function(x) and receiving a finder’s fee from Function(x) as described in Section 4.7.

 

3.13   Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.  Neither Seller nor any person acting on their behalf has used corporate or other funds for unlawful contributions, payments, or gifts in violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

 

3.14   Taxes. Sellers have timely paid all Taxes with respect to the Watchpoints Business when the same have become due.  Sellers have complied with all Applicable Laws relating to the withholding and collection of Tax with respect to the Watchpoints Business, and have timely reported such amounts and paid them over to the applicable taxing authority.  There is no outstanding claim, audit or other examination or proceeding with respect to Taxes with respect to the Watchpoints Business and, to the Knowledge of MMS, no such claim, audit, examination or proceeding is threatened.

3.15   Financial Statements.  Attached hereto as Schedule 3.15 are copies of the Financial Statements.  The Financial Statements are complete and correct in all material respects, have been prepared in accordance with MMS’ books and records and in conformity with the practices consistently applied by MMS without modification of the accounting principles used in the preparation thereof, and present fairly the financial position, expenses and cash flows of Sellers with respect to the Watchpoints Business as at the dates and for the periods indicated, and that neither Seller has received any revenue from the operation of the Watchpoints Business. Each Seller (i) will be able to pay its obligations as they become due in the Ordinary Course of Business and (ii) is not now insolvent, nor will it be rendered insolvent.  No bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or other case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law has been commenced with respect to either Seller.

 

3.16   Absence of Liabilities, Changes and Events.  Since July 1, 2011, neither Seller has (a) incurred any debts, liabilities, claims against or obligations, and to MMS’ Knowledge, there is no reasonable legal basis therefor, that may adversely affect Sellers’ ability to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or may adversely affect the ownership of the Transferred Assets or the use thereof by Buyer in the manner currently used by Sellers, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, including but not limited to liabilities on account of taxes, other governmental charges, duties, penalties, interest or fines; (b) sold, assigned, transferred or licensed any tangible or intangible asset of Sellers used in the operation of the Watchpoints Business other than in the Ordinary Course of Business; (c) modified or terminated any Software License; (d) increased any salaries, wages or employee benefits or made any arrangement for payment of any bonus or special compensation for any employee of Sellers who primarily perform services with respect to the Watchpoints Business; (e) agreed to take any action described in (a) through (d) above, or (f) had a Material Adverse Effect or to MMS’ Knowledge, has there been any occurrence or event that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.17   Operation of the Watchpoints Business.  Sellers and their Affiliates have conducted the Watchpoints Business, including ownership and use of the Transferred Assets, only through MMS and not through any other divisions or any direct or indirect subsidiary or Affiliate of MMS.  Since June 1, 2010, MMS has operated the Watchpoints Business in the Ordinary Course of Business.  Schedule 3.17 contains a list of all prospective customers, including contact information, contacted by Sellers with respect to the Watchpoints Business together with all maintenance, support or service agreements entered into or renewed by Sellers with respect to the Watchpoints Business.

  (a) A true, correct and complete list of the names, titles, base salaries, bonus information, date of hiring, sick and vacation leave that is accrued and unused and all other benefits of the Designated Employees as of the date hereof is included on Schedule 3.19.  To MMS’ Knowledge, except as contemplated by this Agreement (i) it is not expected that any of the Designated Employees will be terminating employment with Sellers prior to the Closing Date or will not commence employment with Buyer as of the Closing Date, (ii) none of the Designated Employees or former employees of Sellers have violated any confidentiality agreement or covenant not to compete and (iii) none of the Designated Employees have violated (A) any material Applicable Laws in the course of their employment with the Sellers, or (B) any material Sellers’ policies, in each case excepting such violations as would not be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  All former or current employees (whether or not Designated Employees) which have or had information or access to information regarding the Transferred Assets have entered into a customary confidentiality and covenant not to compete agreement with Sellers which are and will continue to be in effect after the Closing.

 

  (b) The Designated Employees receive benefits or are eligible under only the employee pension benefit plans, as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, as are listed in Schedule 3.19 (the “Pension Plans”).  MMS has not maintained or contributed within the last six (6) years to any other employee pension benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, which was subject to Title IV of ERISA.

 

  

18

  

 

  (c) The Designated Employees receive benefits or are eligible under only the employee welfare benefit plans, as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA (including but not limited to, life insurance, medical, hospitalization, holiday, vacation, disability dental and vision plans) as are listed on Schedule 3.19 (the “Welfare Plans”).

  (e) Each Pension Plan and Welfare Plan has been operated and administered in substantial compliance with ERISA and the Code; each Pension Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the IRS to be so qualified or a request for such determination has been timely filed with the IRS or the Pension Plan is a prototype plan for which the prototype sponsor has obtained a favorable IRS opinion letter (and to MMS’ Knowledge no event has occurred between the date of the last such determination and the Closing Date that would reasonably be expected to cause the Internal Revenue Service to revoke such determination).

 

  (f) All amounts required to be paid by MMS with respect to any Designated Employee under each Pension Plan, Welfare Plan and Compensation Program on or before the Closing Date have or will be paid.

 

  (g) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Transaction Documents will (i) result in any payment (including, without limitation, severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute or otherwise) becoming due to any Designated Employee, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Pension Plan, Welfare Plan or Compensation Program to any Designated Employee, or (iii) result in any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits.

 

3.20   Insurance.  With respect to the Watchpoints Business, Sellers maintain insurance policies that are customary and adequate, including, without limitation, general liability employer’s liability, business liability and errors and omissions policies.  All such insurance policies are listed on Schedule 3.20 and are in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with their terms.  All of the Transferred Assets and the use of the Transferred Assets of an insurable nature are insured by Sellers in such amounts and against such losses or risks as is customary and usual, as required by Applicable Law and as required by Contract.

 

3.21   Securities Law Matters. The offer and sale of the Shares to MMS is being made as a private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder, and is not being registered under the Securities Act.  Sellers hereby acknowledge that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, or registered or qualified for sale under any state securities laws, and cannot be resold without registration thereunder or exemption therefrom. MMS is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D of the Securities Act, and will acquire the Shares for its own account and not with a view to a sale or distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, any applicable state “blue sky” laws or any other applicable securities laws. MMS has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to enable it to evaluate the risks of investment in the Shares, is purchasing the Shares with a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks thereof, and at the Closing will bear and have the ability to bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite period of time. MMS understands and agrees to the terms and conditions under which the Shares are being offered.

 

  

19

  

 

3.22   Legends. MMS acknowledges that, to the extent applicable, each certificate evidencing the Shares shall be endorsed with a legend substantially in the form set forth below, as well as any additional legend imposed or required by applicable securities laws:

 

“THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY U.S. STATE, NOR IS ANY SUCH REGISTRATION CONTEMPLATED. THIS SECURITY AND ANY SECURITY ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

 

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AGREES THAT (A) THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) TO FUNCTION (X), INC., OR ITS SUCCESSOR, (II) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (III) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (III) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY SELLER OF THIS SECURITY FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO ABOVE. IN ANY CASE, THE HOLDER HEREOF WILL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ENGAGE IN ANY HEDGING TRANSACTION WITH REGARD TO THE SECURITIES EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”

 

3.23   Restricted Securities.  MMS acknowledges that the Shares are “restricted securities” (as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

5.2   Certain Filings. Without limiting the generality of Section 5.1, the parties hereto shall cooperate with one another in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is reasonably necessary or appropriate, or any action, consent, approval or waiver from any party to any of the Watchpoints IP is reasonably necessary or appropriate, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.3   Public Announcements; Confidentiality.

 

  (a) The parties agree that prior to issuing any other press release or public announcement concerning any provisions of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, each party shall so advise the other party hereto, and the parties shall thereafter use their reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued; provided, however, that Function(x) may file a Form 8-K or any other securities filings under Applicable Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may, on a confidential basis, release information regarding the existence and content of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to their respective Affiliates, agents, accountants, attorneys, prospective lenders, advisors or investors.

 

  

23

  

 

  (b) “Confidential Information” means any confidential business or technical information relating to the operations, business plans, or intellectual property of the Watchpoints Business and includes without limitation the Watchpoints Software, the Watchpoints IP, the Intellectual Property Embodiments and Documentation, the Equipment Embodiments and Documentation and all other confidential information relating to the Watchpoints Business, but excludes (i)  information Buyer discloses to any third party who has not agreed to non-disclosure restrictions similar to those contained in this Section 5.3(b), (ii) information that is or becomes known to any member of the public or are or enter the public domain, other than by Sellers’ fault, (iii) information rightfully disclosed to Sellers by a third party that is legally free to disclose such matters; and (iv) information developed by Sellers, alone or with others, that does not materially utilize the Confidential Information.  Except as otherwise required by law, from and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, disclose to any other Person or use (whether for the account of Sellers or any other party) any Confidential Information or any proprietary work product of Buyer, any client of Buyer or its Affiliates; provided, however that Sellers may disclose to their shareholders, accountants, attorneys, lenders and potential investors Tax and financial information relating to its ownership and operation of the Watchpoints Business.  In the event that any Seller believes that it is required to disclose any such Confidential Information pursuant to applicable Laws, such Seller shall give timely written notice to Buyer so that Buyer and its Affiliates may have an opportunity to obtain a protective order or other appropriate relief.  Seller shall cooperate fully in any such action by Buyer and its Affiliates.

 

5.4   Specific Performance.  The parties hereto recognize and agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for a breach by Buyer or any Seller of Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.8 and 5.9 and, even if money damages were adequate, it would be impossible to ascertain or measure with any degree of accuracy the damages sustained therefrom.  Accordingly, if there should be a breach or threatened breach by Buyer or any Seller of Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.8 or 5.9 of this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the breaching party from any breach without showing or proving actual damages.  Nothing in the preceding sentence shall limit or otherwise affect any remedies that Buyer or Sellers may otherwise have under Applicable Law.

 

5.5   Offer of Employment.  Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer and seek to obtain on behalf of Function(x) or Buyer the acceptance of an offer of employment by Buehler and any Designated Employees that Function(x) or Buyer may hereafter elect to employ, and Sellers consent to Function(x) or Buyer communicating directly with Buehler and such Designated Employees about offers of employment.  Except for obligations to MMS, to the Knowledge of MMS, Buehler is not obligated under or bound by any agreement or instrument, or any judgment, decree, or order of any court of administrative agency, that (a) conflicts or may conflict with his agreements and obligations to use his best efforts to promote the interests of Buyer, (b) conflicts or may conflict with the business or operations of Buyer, or (c) restricts or may restrict the use or disclosure of any information that may be useful to Buyer.  Without regard to whether Buyer employs Buehler or the Designated Employees, Sellers shall be solely responsible for all outstanding payments due to Buehler and the Designated Employees under their existing terms of employment with Sellers (including but not limited to salary, severance obligations, vacation pay or any other payment) through the Closing Date and Sellers acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall not assume or in any fashion be bound by any employment contract between either Seller and Buehler or a Designated Employee.

 

  

24

  

 

5.6   Required Consents.  As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at Sellers’ cost and expense, all Required Consents.

 

5.7   Third Party Notification.  Each party agrees to inform any actual or potential third party purchasers, licensees, or transferees of the restrictions imposed by the Transaction Documents on the rights licensed to or retained by Sellers, and on the rights acquired by Buyer, in this transaction.

 

5.8   Non-Solicitation of Buehler.  Provided that Closing occurs, neither Seller, their Affiliates nor any of their successors or assigns shall, during a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, solicit to hire (other than a solicitation by general advertisement), hire, divert, entice away (or in any manner persuade or attempt to do any of the foregoing whether as an employee, consultant, or in any other capacity), Buehler.

 

5.9    Non-Competition.  (a) For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, neither Sellers, their Affiliates nor their successors or assigns shall, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, induce or cause any Person with whom any of Sellers had a business relationship with respect to the Watchpoints Business to reduce or terminate such Person’s business relationship with Function(x), Buyer or their successors or assigns; and no Seller shall, directly or indirectly, approach any such Person for any such purpose, or authorize or assist in the taking of any of such actions for any such purpose or authorize or assist in the taking of any such actions by any Person, (ii) engage in any Restricted Activity, (iii) acquire, or own in any manner, any interest in any Person that engages in any Restricted Activity, or that engages in any business, activity or enterprise that competes with any aspect of any of Restricted Activity, or (iv) be interested in (whether as an owner, director, officer, partner, member, manager, joint venturer, lender, shareholder, vendor, consultant, employee, advisor, agent, independent contractor or otherwise), or otherwise participate in the management or operation of, any Person that engages in any Restricted Activity or in any business, activity or enterprise that competes with any Restricted Activity; provided, however, that this Section 5.9 shall not apply to the ownership of not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of any Person who has a class of securities that is publicly traded.

 

  (b) Sellers and Buyer acknowledge that as a result of the transactions provided herein, Buyer will acquire 100% of the Watchpoints Business division, substantially all of the assets of Watchpoints Subsidiary and the goodwill of the Watchpoints Business and Watchpoints Subsidiary, and therefore, for all purposes of this Section 5.9, each Seller will constitute an “owner of a business entity selling or otherwise disposing of all of his or her ownership interest” in a business entity, as contemplated under Section 16601 of the California Business and Professions Code.  Sellers and Buyer further acknowledge that such acquisition of the goodwill of the Watchpoints Business is an essential component of the transactions contemplated hereby, and believe that the goodwill of Sellers and of the Watchpoints Business is a valuable asset and an essential inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions to be consummated pursuant to this Agreement.  Each Seller acknowledges that it could substantially dilute the value of such goodwill by violating any of the provisions of Section 5.9.  In order to induce Function(x) to enter into this Agreement and as a condition precedent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Seller agrees, insofar as it acts in its capacity as a selling equity holder, or a controlling person thereof, and not as an employee, a manager, a member of a management board or a consultant, to accept and be bound by the restrictions as set forth in Section 5.9(a).  In addition, each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 5.9(a) and the period of time, geographic area and scope and type of restrictions on its activities set forth in such Section, are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Buyer, which is paying substantial consideration and other benefits to the Sellers in consideration for the covenants of Sellers hereunder.  Each Seller also acknowledges and agrees that the reference to the California Business and Professions Code contained herein does not limit or modify the agreement of the parties set forth in Section 11.5 that this Agreement (including the provisions of this Section 5.9) is governed by New York law and not the law of any other State.

 

  

25

  

 

  (c) If any provision contained in any of Section 5.9(a) shall be determined by any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, (i) such provision shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court or other tribunal making such determination, and (ii) in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable, but such reduced form of provision shall only apply with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in or for which such adjudication is made.  It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of Section 5.9(a) shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

 

  (d) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the covenants or other provisions contained in Section 5.9(a) may cause Buyer material and irreparable damage, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate.  Accordingly, Buyer shall, in addition to all other available rights and remedies (including, but not limited to, seeking such damages as it can show it has sustained by reason of such breach and recovery of costs and expenses including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses), be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief (including, without limitation, a temporary and/or permanent restraining order and/or a permanent injunction) in respect of any breach or threatened breach of any of such covenants or provisions.

 

5.10   Preparation of and Assistance with Financial Statements.  From and after the date hereof, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide Function(x) with such information concerning Sellers and the Watchpoints Business, (ii) provide Function(x) with reasonable access, during normal business hours and in a manner as not to interfere with the normal business operations of Sellers, to Seller’s accounting personnel and independent auditors (and cause such persons to reasonably assist Function(x) with Seller’s preparation of pro forma financial statements as required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X or other financial statements) and (iii) as may be required by the independent auditors, deliver representation letters, or cause their legal counsel to deliver audit response letters, to such independent auditors, in each case, as Function(x) may reasonably require in connection with Function(x)’s preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of its periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, any Current Report on form 8-K (including the financial statements required by Rule 3-05 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X in respect of the Watchpoints Business) and any registration statement, in each case as may be amended.  In the event that the SEC makes any review or inquiry to Function(x) with respect to financial information of the Watchpoints Business, including any such inquiry regarding such financial statements, as promptly as practicable after being notified by Function(x) of such review or inquiry, Sellers will provide such reasonable cooperation and assistance as may be required by Function(x) in responding to such review or inquiry.  Buyer will reimburse the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses to third parties incurred by Sellers from and after the Closing to the extent Buyer requests further compliance with this Section 5.10.

 

  

26

  

 

5.11   Business Examinations and Physical Investigations of Transferred Assets.  Prior to the Closing Buyer shall be entitled, through its employees and representatives, including, without limitation, its auditors, and consultants and advisors, to make such investigations and examinations of the Watchpoints Business, the Transferred Assets, the books and records of Sellers and the affairs and financial condition of Sellers as Buyer may request for the purpose of familiarizing Buyer with the Watchpoints Business.  In order that Buyer may have the full opportunity to do so, Sellers shall furnish Buyer and its representatives during such period with all information concerning the Watchpoints Business, the Transferred Assets and the affairs and financial condition of Seller as Buyer or such representatives may request and cause Sellers’ officers, employees, consultants, agents, accountants and attorneys to cooperate fully with Buyer and such representatives and to make full disclosure of all information and documents requested by Buyer and/or such representatives.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any information disclosed by Sellers pursuant to this Section 5.11 will be deemed Confidential Information of Sellers under the Bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreement dated as of July 26, 2011 between Function(x) and MMS.

 

5.12   Watchpoints Name.  MMS and Watchpoints Subsidiary shall cause Watchpoints Subsidiary to change its corporate name as soon as practicable following the Closing, but in any event within seven (7) days of the Closing Date, to a name which does not include “Watchpoints” or any derivative thereof.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, from and after the Closing, neither Seller nor any of their Affiliates shall use the name “Watchpoints” for any purposes, including without limitation, in conducting business operations, as part of a corporate name, as a Mark, as part of a website, internet domain name, URL or webpage, or otherwise.

 

5.13   Required Consents.  Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Required Consents for all Transferred Contracts as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with the foregoing.  If Schedule 2.1(c) reflects that a Contract is still under review, or if a Required Consent is not obtained prior to the Closing and Buyer elects to waive the condition that such Required Consent be obtained prior to Closing, (a) Sellers shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Required Consent as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, (b) MMS shall continue to maintain in effect the lease for its Santa Monica office, and shall permit Buehler to continue to use his existing office in Santa Monica, California on behalf of Buyer at no charge, until the Required Consent relating thereto is obtained or Buyer notifies Seller that it has elected not to accept such Transferred Contract, (c) until such time as Required Consents are obtained for any other Transferred Contract for which a Required Consent is necessary, Sellers shall, without any cost to Buyer, provide Buyer with all benefits of Sellers under such Transferred Contracts, (d) Buyer may at any time elect not to accept an assignment of a Transferred Contract for which a Required Consent has not been obtained or if Schedule 2.1(c) reflects that a Contract is still under review, in which event Buyer shall have no obligations thereunder and such Transferred Contract shall instead be part of the Excluded Assets, and (e) at such time as such Required Consents are obtained after the Closing or Buyer elects to accept a Transferred Contract which was still under review, Sellers shall, within three days of request by Buyer, deliver to Buyer an executed assignment and assumption agreement with respect to such Transferred Contract.

  (a) Any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer or Function(x) in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents;

 

  (b) Any breach in the performance of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Buyer or Function(x) contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; and

 

  (c) Any Assumed Liabilities.

 

9.3   Limitations on Duties to Indemnify.  Except for their duty to indemnify the other party for claims of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of material facts, the parties’ respective indemnification obligations for a breach of a representation or warranty (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.5, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.21, 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.7 and the first two sentences of Section 3.6) shall be subject to each of the following limitations:

 

  (a) An Indemnifying Party has no obligation to indemnify any Indemnitee (i) unless the aggregate of all Damages for which the Indemnifying Party would be liable exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount exceeding $50,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), whereupon the amount of all such Losses (above and below the Threshold Amount), and all subsequent Damages, shall become due and payable; or (ii) if and to the extent such indemnification would cause the aggregate indemnification by such Indemnifying Party under this Article 9 to all Indemnitees to exceed $2,500,000.

 

  (b) Seller may cure any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.6 Transferred Assets by delivering to Buyer those assets, properties and rights that would make such representations and warranties true.

 

9.4   Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

 

  (a) All representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations of each Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement and all claims of any Buyer Indemnitee or MMS Indemnitee in respect of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of any Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement, shall survive the execution of this Agreement, and shall expire 18 months following the Closing Date, except that:

 

(i)   the covenants, agreements or obligations of Sellers or Buyer which by their terms are to be performed after the execution of this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and shall not expire unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants, agreements or obligations of Sellers or Buyer in Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.4; and

 

  

32

  

 

(ii)   the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in Sections 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.5, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.21, 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.7, and the first two sentences of Section 3.6, of this Agreement, and all claims of any MMS Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee in respect of any breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation, shall survive the Closing Date and shall expire 30 days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations, including extensions thereof.

 

  (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, indemnification for claims for which written notice as provided in Section 9.5 has been given prior to the expiration of the representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation upon which such claim is based shall not expire, and claims for indemnification thereon may be pursued, until the final resolution of such claim.

 

  (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, indemnification for claims which arise out of the fraud of the Indemnifying Party shall expire 30 days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations, including extensions thereof.

 

9.5   Claims for Indemnification.  If any Indemnitee shall believe that such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 in respect of any Damages, such Indemnitee shall give the appropriate Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof.  Any such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail and to the extent then known the basis for such claim for indemnification.  The failure of such Indemnitee to give notice of any claim for indemnification promptly, but within the applicable periods specified by Sections 9.4(a) or (b), shall not adversely affect such Indemnitee’s right to indemnity hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that such failure adversely affects the right of the Indemnifying Party to assert all reasonable defenses to such claim.  Each such claim for indemnity shall expressly state that the Indemnifying Party shall have only the 20 calendar-day period referred to in the next sentence to dispute or deny such claim.  The Indemnifying Party shall have 20 calendar days following its receipt of such notice either (y) to acquiesce in such claim and its respective responsibilities to indemnify the Indemnitee in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of this Article 9 by giving such Indemnitee written notice of such acquiescence or (z) to object to the claim by giving such Indemnitee written notice of the objection.  If the Indemnifying Party does not object thereto within such 20 calendar-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acquiesced in such claim and its respective responsibilities to indemnify the Indemnitee in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of this Article 9.

 

  

33

  

 

9.6   Defense of Claims. Except as otherwise set forth in the last sentence of this Section 9.6, in connection with any claim which may give rise to indemnity under this Article 9 resulting from or arising out of any claim or Proceeding against an Indemnitee by a Person that is not a party hereto, the Indemnifying Party may (unless such Indemnitee elects not to seek indemnity hereunder for such claim), upon written notice sent at any time to the relevant Indemnitee, assume the defense of any such claim or Proceeding, to the extent that the claim or Proceeding relates only to monetary damages and not the Transferred Assets or the ability to exploit the Transferred Assets provides assurances, reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, that the Indemnifying Party will be financially able to satisfy such claim in full if such claim or Proceeding is decided adversely.  The Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee to conduct the defense of such claim or Proceeding, shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement thereof and shall at all times diligently and promptly pursue the resolution thereof.  If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of any claim or Proceeding in accordance with this Section 9.6, the Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or Proceeding, to the extent that the settlement requires only the payment of monetary damages, includes no injunctive provisions or performance requirements of Indemnitee and includes no admission of guilt or liability.  Or in the alternative, the Indemnifying Party will seek consent of the Indemnitee, (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  If the Indemnifying Party has so elected to assume the defense, each Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and, except as provided herein, at its own expense.  Each Indemnitee shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, officers, employees, consultants and agents to, cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any claim or Proceeding being defended by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.6.  If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any claim or Proceeding resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.6, or the Indemnifying Party does not acknowledge to the Indemnitee the Indemnitee’s right to indemnity pursuant hereto in respect of the entirety of such claim (as such claim may have been modified through written agreement of the parties or arbitration hereunder) or the Indemnifying Party does not provides assurances, reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, that the Indemnifying Party will be financially able to satisfy such claim in full if such claim or Proceeding is decided adversely, such Indemnitee may defend against such claim or Proceeding in such manner as it may deem appropriate at the cost of the Indemnifying Party.

 

9.7   Nature of Payments.  Except for payments pursuant to the parties’ obligations under Sections 9.1(c) and 9.2(c), any payment under Article 9 shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent such characterization is proper and permissible under relevant Tax authorities, including court decisions, statutes, regulations and administrative promulgations.

 

9.8   Exclusive Remedy.  After the Closing, and except for claims of fraud or intentional misrepresentation and except for the specific performance of covenants, where appropriate under Applicable Law, the obligations to indemnify under this Article 9 shall provide the exclusive remedy against a party for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Transaction Document.

 

9.9    Property Taxes.  All property taxes and similar ad valorem taxes (“Property Taxes”) levied with respect to the Transferred Assets for any period commencing before and ending after the Closing Date (“Straddle Period”) shall be apportioned between Buyer and MMS based on the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the portion of the period ending on the closing date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the period commencing on the day after the Closing Date (“Post-Closing Tax Period”).  MMS shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Purchaser shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period.  Upon receipt of any bill for such Property Taxes, Purchaser or MMS, as applicable, shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 9.7 together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount.  The proration amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within ten (10) days after delivery of such statement.

 

  

34

  

 

9.10   Transfer and Sales Tax Returns.  MMS shall timely prepare and file all Transfer and Sales Tax returns and reports relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  MMS shall be jointly and severally liable for any Transfer and Sales Taxes relating to such transactions.  MMS shall furnish to Buyer a copy of each such tax return promptly after it is filed, together with proof of payment of the Transfer and Sales Tax shown thereon to be due.

 

ARTICLE 10

TERMINATION

 

10.1  Termination Prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Agreement, the respective obligations of the parties hereto to consummate the Closing may be terminated and abandoned at any time at or before the Closing only as follows:

 

  (a) By and at the option of Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred by October 31, 2011; provided that neither Function(x) nor Buyer shall have breached in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have been the proximate cause of, or resulted in, the failure to consummate the Closing.

 

  (b) By and at the option of MMS if the Closing shall not have occurred by October 31, 2011, provided that Sellers shall not have breached in any material respect their obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have been the proximate cause of, or resulted in, the failure to consummate the Closing.

 

  (c) At any time, without liability of any party to the others, upon the mutual written consent of Buyer and Sellers.

 

  (d) By either Buyer or MMS, if the Sellers, on the one hand, or Function(x) or Buyer, on the other hand, has materially breached any representations, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein (provided that such breach is not the result of any breach of any covenant, representation or warranty by the terminating party), which breach has not been cured within 30 days following written notice of such breach by the terminating party, and such breach renders the conditions to the terminating party’s obligation to close, set forth in Article 6 or Article 7, as the case may be, incapable of being satisfied.

 

10.2   Effect of Termination.  In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 10.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (except for the provisions of this Section 10.2 and Article XI which shall survive such termination) and there shall be no liability on the part of Buyer or MMS, except for damages resulting from any breach by Buyer or MMS of this Agreement.

  (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the parties shall promptly submit any disputed matter arising hereunder or any other Transaction Document, including the construction, interpretation, or validity of any provision hereof (including this Section 11.6) or performance thereof, or any other matter relating hereto or thereto arising in connection herewith or therewith or any alleged breach hereof or thereof, whether based upon tort, contract, equity, common law, statute, or otherwise, to arbitration before one arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York, in accordance with its Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes.  Judgment on the arbitration award, which shall not include punitive damages, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  This Section 11.6(a) shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction or as otherwise provided in Section 11.6(c).

 

  (b) Subject to this Section 11.6, the District Court of the United States, for the Southern District of New York, located in New York, New York, shall be the exclusive venue and have jurisdiction with respect to all matters arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and any Transaction Documents related thereto; provided, however, if such court determines that it does not have competent jurisdiction, the state court of New York state, located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, shall be the venue and have jurisdiction.  Each party hereby waives any right each may have to contest personal jurisdiction insofar as any arbitrable matter under this Agreement is concerned, or to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens, or to object to venue with respect to any suit, action or other proceeding brought in accordance with this Agreement.

 

  (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.6(a), each party shall have the right, without the requirement of first seeking a remedy through any dispute resolution alternative (including arbitration) that has been agreed upon, to seek preliminary injunctive or other equitable relief in any proper court pursuant to Section 5.9 or in the event that such party determines that eventual redress through the dispute resolution alternative will not provide a sufficient remedy for any violation of this Agreement by the other party.

 

  

37

  

 

  (d) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS.  EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN SECTION 11.6.

 

11.7    Counterparts; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto were upon the same instrument.  This Agreement shall become effective when each party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other parties.

The titles and headings to Sections herein and to the Exhibits and Schedules hereto are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction hereof against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted. The words “include”, “includes”, “included”, “including” and “such as” do not limit the preceding words or terms and shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require. All terms defined in this Agreement in their singular or plural forms, have correlative meanings when used herein in their plural or singular forms, respectively.

11.10   Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, unenforceable or void by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall not for that reason alone be unenforceable or invalid. In such case, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to create an enforceable contractual provision to achieve the purpose of the invalid provision. Further, if any provision is held to be overbroad as written, such provision shall be deemed amended to narrow its application to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable according to applicable law and shall be enforced as amended.

 

11.11    No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof will create any right in favor of or impose any obligation upon any person or entity other than Function(x), Buyer and Sellers, including, without limitation, any direct or indirect equity owner or any officer, director or employee of MMS, Buyer or of any such equity owner, and no recourse will be had against any person or entity other than Sellers, Function(x) or Buyer by virtue of this Agreement.
