This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made effective as of December 28, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and among NeuMedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Employer”) and Peter A. Adderton (the “Executive”).  In consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, the Employer and the Executive agree as follows:

The Executive shall report directly to the Board of Directors.  If the Board of Directors decides to hire a Chief Operating Officer, the Executive shall have the right to approve the hiring of a person for such office in the Executive’s reasonable discretion. At the reasonable request of the Board of Directors, the Executive shall provide services to subsidiaries and affiliates of the Employer, without additional compensation becoming payable.

 

3.           Term.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6, the term of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be one (1) year, i.e., twelve (12) calendar months, from the Effective Date (the “Term”).

For all services rendered by the Executive under this Agreement, the Employer shall pay the Executive an annual salary (the “Salary”) at the annual rate of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000).  The Executive’s Salary shall be payable in periodic installments in accordance with the Employer’s usual practice for its employees, but in no event less than monthly over the year in which the Salary is earned.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive agrees that one-half (1/2) of his monthly Salary payment (i.e., a deferral of $18,750.00 per calendar month) shall be deferred and subject to forfeiture until the Employer has consummated one or more debt or equity financings during the period consisting of the Term and the twelve months immediately following the Term (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Employer realizes at least $5 million of gross proceeds, and, provided further, that upon completion of such debt or equity financings during the Measurement Period, the Executive shall be paid a single lump sum (in addition to his Salary payment for the month in which such financing is consummated) equal to the previously accrued deferred Salary.  The deferred Salary shall be an accrued liability of the Employer until the earlier to occur of the consummation of the financing(s) or the expiration of the Measurement Period, but shall be subject to forfeiture in the event of the Executive’s termination of employment prior to such consummation or expiration.

  

  

  

(b)           Bonuses.

 

(i)           Special Incentive Bonus. The Executive shall be entitled to a bonus of $250,000.00 payable (A) 50% upon completion of the above-referenced $5 million financing(s) during the Measurement Period and (B) the remaining $125,000.00 upon the successful completion of additional debt or equity financing(s) during the Measurement Period which, when aggregated with any prior financings during the Measurement Period, result in the Employer realizing at least $10 million of gross proceeds.

 

(ii)          Annual Bonus. The Executive shall be entitled to be paid an annual incentive bonus in cash in an amount of up to 100% of the Executive’s Salary based upon satisfaction of performance-related milestones.

(iii)         Any bonus payable under this subsection (b) shall vest upon the achievement of the specified financing(s) or other performance criteria and shall be paid on or within thirty (30) days of such vesting date.

The Executive shall also be entitled to participate in any qualified retirement plans, deferred compensation plans, stock option and incentive plans, stock purchase plans, group and executive medical insurance plans (i.e., coverage for the Executive and family), life insurance plans, disability income plans, retirement plans, vacation plans, expense reimbursement plans and other benefit plans which the Employer may from time to time have in effect for any, all or most of its senior executives (collectively “Employer Benefit Plans”).  Such participation shall be subject to the terms of applicable plan documents, generally applicable policies of the Employer, applicable law and the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee or any administrative or other committee provided for in or contemplated by any such plan.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create any obligation on the part of the Employer to establish any such plans or to maintain the effectiveness of any such plans which may be in effect from time to time.

(e)           Restricted Stock Grant.  On the Effective Date, the Employer shall grant the Executive 9,037,500 shares of restricted common stock of the Employer, subject to the terms and conditions specified in the attached Restricted Stock Agreement, which shall vest as follows: (i) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately upon the completion of one or more debt or equity financings during the Measurement Period in favor of the Employer of gross proceeds of at least $5 million; (ii) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately if on any date during the Measurement Period the Employer’s total enterprise value (computed by multiplying the number of outstanding shares of the Employer’s common stock on a fully diluted (taking into account only those stock options that are in-the-money on such date), as-converted basis by the average daily trading price for the Employer’s common stock for the thirty (30) trading day period immediately preceding the date of determination) equals or exceeds $100 million; and (iii) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately if on any date during the Measurement Period the Employer’s total enterprise value (calculated as set forth in clause (ii) above) equals or exceeds $200 million; provided, however, that all unvested shares of restricted common stock shall vest immediately upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Employer, upon the merger or reorganization of the Employer following which the equityholders of the Employer immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or reorganization collectively own less than 50% of the voting power of the resulting entity, or upon the sale of equity securities of the Employer representing 50% or more of the voting power of the Employer or 50% or more of the economic interest in the Employer in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions (i.e., a “Change of Control”).  All shares shall be subject to a one (1) year lock-up following the vesting of such shares.  Subject to the approval of the Employer’s Board of Directors, in its sole and exclusive discretion, the Employer may extend a non-interest bearing loan to the Executive equal to the Executive’s grossed up aggregate federal and state income tax liability attributable to the issued shares and bonus subject to, among other things: (i) a determination of the amount of the tax due; (ii) approval of the terms of such loan; and (iii) the Employer’s financial condition.

 

(f)            Additional Performance Bonuses.  The Executive shall be entitled to payment of (i) a performance bonus equal to $2.5 million in cash or registered and freely tradable stock of the Employer, at the Executive’s choice, if, on any date during the Measurement Period the Employer’s total enterprise value (calculated as set forth in Section 4(e)(ii) above) equals or exceeds $150 million; and (ii) payment of a performance bonus equal to $10 million in cash or registered and freely tradable stock of the Employer, at the Executive’s choice, if, on any date during the Measurement Period, the Employer’s total enterprise value (calculated as set forth in Section 4(e)(ii) above) equals or exceeds $1 billion. Any bonus payable under this subsection (f) shall vest upon the achievement of the specified criteria and shall be paid on or within thirty (30) days of such vesting date.

 

(g)           Exclusivity of Salary and Benefits.  The Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits other than those provided under this Agreement.

 

5.           Extent of Service.  During the Executive’s employment under this Agreement, the Executive shall, subject to the direction and supervision of the Board of Directors, devote the Executive’s full business time, best efforts and business judgment, skill and knowledge to the advancement of the Employer’s interests and to the discharge of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.  The Executive shall not engage in any other business activity, except as may be approved by the Board of Directors; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing the Executive from:

 

(a)           investing the Executive’s personal assets in any non-competitive business enterprise, company or other entity in such form or manner as shall not require any material personal time commitment on the Executive’s part in connection with the operations or affairs of such other enterprise, company or other entity in which such investments are made;

  

3

  

(b)           engaging in religious, charitable or other community or non-profit activities that do not impair the Executive’s ability to fulfill the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement; or

 

(c)           serving as an executive officer of Boost Tel Pty. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Australia, and/or Pinkberry Australia, Ltd., provided that his personal services in such capacity do not require any material time commitment on the Executive’s part in connection with the operation or affairs of such companies and, in any event, such role shall not impair the Executive’s ability to fulfill his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

 

6.           Termination.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3, the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate under the following circumstances set forth in this Section 6. For purposes of this Agreement, the date of the Executive’s termination (the “Termination Date”) shall mean the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” as such term is defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”).

 

(a)           Termination by the Employer for Cause.  The Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated for Cause without further liability on the part of the Employer effective immediately upon a vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the members of the Board of Directors and written notice to the Executive.  Only the following shall constitute “Cause” for such termination:

 

(i)           any act committed by the Executive against the Employer or any of its affiliates which involves fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or insubordination; or

 

(ii)          the commission by the Executive of, or indictment for (A) a felony or (B) any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud.

 

(b)           Termination by the Employer Without Cause.  Subject to the payment of Termination Benefits pursuant to Section 7(b), the Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the Employer without Cause upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the Executive.

 

(c)           Death.  The Executive’s employment with the Employer shall terminate automatically upon his death.

  

4

  

(d)           Disability.  If the Executive shall become Disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation, the Board of Directors may remove the Executive from any responsibilities and/or reassign the Executive to another position with the Employer for the remainder of the Term or during the period of such Disability.  Notwithstanding any such removal or reassignment, the Executive shall continue to receive the Executive’s full Salary (less any disability pay or sick pay benefits to which the Executive may be entitled under the Employer’s policies) and benefits under Section 4 of this Agreement (except to the extent that the Executive may be ineligible for one or more such benefits under applicable plan terms) for a period of time equal to twelve (12) months payable at the same time as such amounts would otherwise have been paid to the Executive had he continued in his current capacity.  If the Executive is unable to perform substantial services of any kind for the Employer during this period, such period shall be considered a paid leave of absence and the Executive shall have the contractual right to return to employment at any time during such period.  If the Executive’s Disability continues beyond such twelve (12) month period, the Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Employer by reason of Disability at any time thereafter.  For purposes hereof, the term “Disabled” or “Disability” shall mean a written determination that the Executive, as certified by at least two (2) duly licensed and qualified physicians, one (1) approved by the Board of Directors of the Employer and one (1) physician approved by the Executive (the “Examining Physicians”), or, in the event of the Executive’s total physical or mental disability, the Executive’s legal representative, that the Executive suffers from a physical or mental impairment that renders the Executive unable to perform the Executive’s regular personal duties under this Agreement and that such impairment can reasonably be expected to continue for a period of six (6) consecutive months or for shorter periods aggregating one hundred and eighty (180) days in any twelve (12) month period; provided, that the Executive’s primary care physician may not serve as one of the Examining Physicians without the consent of the Employer and the Executive (or the Executive’s legal representation).  The Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of a physician to submit to a physical examination for purposes of such certification.  Nothing in this Section 6(d) shall be construed to waive the Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.

 

7.           Compensation Upon Termination.

 

(a)           Termination Generally.  If the Executive’s employment with the Employer is terminated for any reason during or upon expiration of the Term, the Employer shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to his authorized representative or estate) (i) any earned but unpaid Salary payable on the Termination Date, (ii) accrued bonuses earned but not yet paid, payable at the same time such amounts would otherwise have been paid to the Executive, (iii) any unpaid expense reimbursements, payable in accordance with the Employer’s reimbursement policies, (iv) any accrued but unused vacation, payable on the Termination Date, and (v) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any of the Employer Benefit Plans, payable as specified in the applicable plan documents (collectively, the “Accrued Compensation”).

 

(b)           Termination by the Employer Without Cause.  In the event of termination of the Executive’s employment with the Employer pursuant to Section 6(b) above prior to the expiration of the Term, and subject to the Executive’s execution and delivery of a release of any and all legal claims in a form satisfactory to the Employer within forty-five (45) days of the Termination Date (the “Release Period”), the Employer shall provide to the Executive, in addition to the Accrued Compensation, the following termination benefits (“Termination Benefits”) effective as of the final day of the Release Period:

 

(i)           continuation of the Executive’s Salary at the rate and in accordance with the Employer’s payroll practices then in effect pursuant to Section 4(a); and

  

5

  

(ii)          continuation of any executive health and group health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq. (commonly known as “COBRA”), subject to payment of premiums by the Employer to the extent that the Employer was covering such premiums as of the Termination Date (if permitted by law without violation of applicable discrimination rules, or, if not, the equivalent after-tax value payable as additional severance at the same time such premiums are otherwise payable).

 

The Termination Benefits set forth in subsections 7(b)(i) and (ii) above shall continue effective for the remainder of the Term (the “Termination Benefits Period”); provided that in the event that the Executive commences any employment during the Termination Benefits Period, the benefits provided under Section 7(b)(ii) shall cease effective as of the date Executive qualifies for group health plan benefits in his new employment.  The Employer’s liability for Salary continuation pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) shall not be reduced by the amount of any severance pay paid to the Executive pursuant to any severance pay plan or stay bonus plan of the Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7(b) shall be construed to affect the Executive’s right to receive COBRA continuation entirely at the Executive’s own cost to the extent that the Executive may continue to be entitled to COBRA continuation after Employer-paid premiums cease.  The Executive shall be obligated to give prompt notice of the date of commencement of any employment during the Termination Benefits Period and shall respond promptly to any reasonable inquiries concerning any employment in which the Executive engages during the Termination Benefits Period.

 

The Employer acknowledges and agrees that under certain circumstances involving the termination of the Executive’s employment and/or a Change of Control transaction involving the Employer, the Executive shall be entitled to accelerated vesting on his shares of capital stock of the Employer, all to the extent provided in Section 2(a) of that certain Restricted Stock Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Employer and the Executive.

 

Any Section 409A payments which are subject to execution of a waiver and release which may be executed and/or revoked in a calendar year following the calendar year in which the payment event (such as termination of employment) occurs shall commence payment only in the calendar year in which the release revocation period ends as necessary to comply with Section 409A.

 

(c)           Termination by Reason of Cause, Death, Disability, Voluntary Termination or Expiration of Term.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason other than by the Employer without Cause under Section 6(b), including by reason of the Employer’s election not to extend the Term, the Employer shall have no further obligation to the Executive other than payment of his Accrued Compensation.

 

(d)           Payments For Compensation Earned After the Term. In the event that, following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason other than for Cause,  the Executive becomes entitled to receive compensation due to the occurrence of an event after the such termination but during the Measurement Period, the Employer shall, within ten (10) business days following the occurrence of such event, pay to the Executive the applicable amount and form of compensation, as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

8.           Confidential Information, Nonsolicitation and Cooperation.

 

(a)           Confidential Information.  As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means proprietary information of the Employer which is of value to the Employer in the course of conducting its business and the disclosure of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Employer.  Confidential Information includes, without limitation, financial information, reports, and forecasts; inventions, improvements and other intellectual property; trade secrets; know-how; designs, processes or formulae; software; market or sales information or plans; customer lists; and business plans, prospects and opportunities (such as possible acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or facilities) which have been discussed or considered by the management of the Employer.  Confidential Information includes information developed by the Executive in the course of the Executive’s employment by the Employer, as well as other information to which the Executive may have access in connection with the Executive’s employment.  Confidential Information also includes the confidential information of others with which the Employer has a business relationship.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include (i) information in the public domain, unless due to breach of the Executive’s duties under Section 8(b), or (ii) information obtained in good faith by the Executive from a third party who was lawfully in possession of such information and not subject to an obligation of confidentiality owed to the Employer.

 

(b)           Duty of Confidentiality.  The Executive understands and agrees that the Executive’s employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between the Executive and the Employer with respect to all Confidential Information.  At all times, both during the Executive’s employment with the Employer and after termination, the Executive will keep in confidence and trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of the Employer, except (i) as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing the Executive’s duties to the Employer or (ii) as may be required in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body or as otherwise required by law (provided that if the Executive is so required to disclose the Confidential Information, the Executive shall (i) immediately notify the Employer of such required disclosure sufficiently in advance of the intended disclosure to permit the Employer to seek a protective order or take other appropriate action, (ii) cooperate in any effort by the Employer to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the Confidential Information).

 

(c)           Documents, Records, etc.  All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are furnished to the Executive by the Employer or are produced by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s employment will be and remain the sole property of the Employer.  The Executive will return to the Employer all such materials and property as and when requested by the Employer.  In any event, the Executive will return all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason.  The Executive will not retain with the Executive any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination.

  

7

  

(d)           Nonsolicitation.  During the Term and for one (1) year thereafter, the Executive (i) will refrain from directly or indirectly employing, attempting to employ, recruiting or otherwise soliciting, inducing or influencing any person to leave employment with the Employer (other than subordinate employees whose employment was terminated in the course of the Executive’s employment with the Employer); and (ii) will refrain from soliciting or encouraging any customer or supplier to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the Employer.  The Executive understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 8(d) are intended to protect the Employer’s interest in its Confidential Information and established employee, customer and supplier relationships and goodwill, and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose.

 

(e)           Third-Party Agreements and Rights.  The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executive’s use or disclosure of information or the Executive’s engagement in any business.  The Executive represents to the Employer that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Employer and the performance of the Executive’s proposed duties for the Employer will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party.  In the Executive’s work for the Employer, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Employer any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party.

 

(f)            Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation.  During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall cooperate reasonably with requests from the Employer, or the Employer’s legal counsel, in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Employer which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Employer.  The Executive’s cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Employer at mutually convenient times.  During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Employer in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Employer.  The Employer shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 8(f), and if the Executive spends more than ten (10) hours in any calendar month in performance of these obligations, the Employer shall pay the Executive $500 per hour for each part of an hour over ten (10) hours in such calendar month.

 

(g)           Injunction.  The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Employer which might result from any breach by the Executive of the promises set forth in this Section 8, and that in any event money damages may be an inadequate remedy for any such breach.  Accordingly, subject to Section 9 of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of this Agreement, the Employer shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Employer and without the need to post a bond or other security.

9.           Arbitration of Disputes.  In the event of any dispute or controversy arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to submit such dispute or controversy to binding arbitration pursuant to either the JAMS Streamlined (for claims under $250,000.00) or the JAMS Comprehensive (for claims over $250,000.00) Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except as modified herein, including the Optional Appeal Procedure.  A sole neutral arbitrator shall be selected from the list (the “List”) of arbitrators supplied by J.A.M.S. (“JAMS”) Los Angeles County, California office, or any successor entity, or if it no longer exists, from a List supplied by the ADR Services, Inc., in Los Angeles, California (“ADR”) following written request by any party hereto.  If the parties hereto after notification of the other party(-ies) to such dispute cannot agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days following receipt of the List by all parties to such arbitration, then either party may request, in writing, that JAMS or ADR, as appropriate, appoint an arbitrator within ten (10) days following receipt of such request (the “Arbitrator”).  The arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles County, California, at a place and time mutually agreeable to the parties or if no such agreement is reached within ten (10) days following notice from the Arbitrator, at a place and time determined by the Arbitrator.  Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS then in effect, and Section 1280 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or if applicable, the Commercial Arbitration Rules of ADR then in effect.  The preceding choice of venue is intended by the parties to be mandatory and not permissive in nature, thereby precluding the possibility of litigation between the parties with respect to or arising out of this Agreement in any jurisdiction other than that specified in this Section.  Each party hereby waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any proceeding brought in accordance with this Section, and stipulates that the Arbitrator shall have in personam jurisdiction and venue over each of them for the purpose of litigating any dispute, controversy, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement.  Each party hereby authorizes and accepts service of process sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against it as contemplated by this Section by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to its address for the giving of notices as set forth in this Agreement.  The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on all the parties to the arbitration, shall be non-appealable and may be enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party reasonable attorney’s fees, as well as its costs and expenses.  The Arbitrator may grant any remedy appropriate including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Employer may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction as contemplated in Section 8(g) herein.

 

10.         Integration.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties with respect to any related subject matter.

 

11.         Assignment; Successors and Assigns, etc.  Neither the Employer nor the Executive may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest herein, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party; but the Employer may assign its rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Executive, in the event that the Employer shall effect a reorganization, consolidate with or merge into any other corporation, partnership, organization or other entity, or transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other corporation, partnership, organization or other entity, in which event the Employer will obtain a written confirmation of the assumption of the Employer’s obligation hereunder for the benefit of the Executive.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Employer and the Executive, their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns.

12.         Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

13.         Waiver.  No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party.  The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

 

14.         Notices.  Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the Executive’s last residential address the Executive has filed in writing with the Employer or, in the case of the Employer, at its main offices, attention of the Chairman of the Board, and shall be effective on the date of delivery in person or by courier or three (3) days after the date mailed.

 

15.         Third Party Beneficiary; Amendment.  The Executive and the Employer acknowledge and agree that no third party shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement, except for the parties specifically named as released parties in Section 20.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and the Employer.

 

16.         Governing Law.  This contract has been entered into in the State of California and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such state; provided that Section 19 shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

17.         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of original, facsimile or other electronic counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

 

18.         No Prior Agreements.  The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Employer and that the execution of this Agreement by the Executive, the Executive’s employment by the Employer, and the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder will not violate or constitute a breach of any agreement, including any non-competition agreement, invention or confidentiality agreement, with a former employer, client or any other person or entity.  Further, the Executive agrees to indemnify the Employer for any loss, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, that the Employer may incur based upon or arising out of the Executive’s breach of this Section.

  

10

  

19.         Indemnification.  The Employer shall indemnify the Executive against and hold the Executive harmless from any costs, liabilities, losses and exposures for the Executive’s services as an employee, officer and director of the Employer (or any successor in interest thereof), whether before or after the Effective Date, to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporate Law.  If the Executive is made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by the Employer against the Executive), by reason of the fact that the Executive is or was performing services to the Employer under this Agreement or while acting as an executive officer of the Employer, the Employer shall indemnify the Executive against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, as actually and reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection therewith, to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.  If the Executive is made a party to any third-party action, complaint, suit or proceeding, the Executive shall given prompt notice thereof to the Employer, and the Employer shall have the right to assume and control the defense of such action, complaint, suit or proceeding; provided that if legal counsel selected by the Employer shall have a conflict of interest that prevents such counsel from representing the Executive, the Executive may engage separate counsel and the Employer shall reimburse all reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses of such separate counsel.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer shall not have, and the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Employer does not have, any obligation to indemnify the Executive under this Section or under its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, with respect to (a) any breach of representation, warranty or covenant committed by the Executive under this Agreement, or (b) any action or inaction by the Executive where the Executive failed to act in good faith and in a manner the Executive reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Employer, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the Executive had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

20.         Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date, the Employer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain directors’ and officers’ insurance from a reputable insurance company with such coverage amounts and policy terms as is customary for public companies with market valuations similar to the Employer, as determined by the Employer in its sole discretion.

 

21.         Release.

 

(a)           IN CONSIDERATION OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE EMPLOYER, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PREDECESSORS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES AND AFFILIATES (TOGETHER WITH THE EMPLOYER, EACH, AN “EMPLOYER RELATED PARTY”), HEREBY IRREVOCABLY RELEASES AND DISCHARGES THE EXECUTIVE OF AND FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, ACTS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, DEBTS, OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES, COSTS, EXPENSES, CONTROVERSIES, RIGHTS OF ACTION AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, WHICH ANY EMPLOYER RELATED PARTY NOW HAS OR MAY IN THE FUTURE HAVE AGAINST THE EXECUTIVE, WHICH ARE BASED ON, ARISE OUT OF, OR ARE RELATED IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER TO ANY ACTIONS TAKEN, OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN, BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE EXECUTIVE IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPANY PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE.

  

11

  

(b)           IN CONSIDERATION OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE EXECUTIVE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY RELEASES AND DISCHARGES EACH EMPLOYER RELATED PARTY AND FRED GOLDRING OF AND FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, ACTS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, DEBTS, OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES, COSTS, EXPENSES, CONTROVERSIES, RIGHTS OF ACTION AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, WHICH THE EXECUTIVE NOW HAS OR MAY IN THE FUTURE HAVE AGAINST ANY EMPLOYER RELATED PARTY OR FRED GOLDRING, WHICH ARE BASED ON, ARISE OUT OF, OR ARE RELATED IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER TO (A) ANY EMPLOYER RELATED PARTY, FRED GOLDING OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECT OR INDIRECT ASSETS, OPERATIONS OR BUSINESS, (B) ANY ACTIONS TAKEN, OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN, BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY EMPLOYER RELATED PARTY OR FRED GOLDRING OR (C) ANY ACTIONS TAKEN BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE EXECUTIVE IN CONNECTION WITH HIS PROVISION OF SERVICES FOR THE EMPLOYER OR ITS AFFILIATES PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE.

 

(c)           IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING RELEASES, EACH OF THE EXECUTIVE AND THE EMPLOYER (FOR EACH EMPLOYER RELATED PARTY), WAIVES ALL RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 1542 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF CALIFORNIA, WHICH STATES IN FULL: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

  

12

  

22.         Section 409A Compliance.  Unless otherwise expressly provided, any payment of compensation by the Employer to the Executive, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, shall be made no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month (i.e., 21⁄2 months) after the later of the end of the calendar year or the Employer’s fiscal year in which the Executive’s right to such payment vests (i.e., is not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” for purposes of Section 409A).  Each payment and each installment of any bonus or severance payments provided for under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of application of Section 409A. To the extent any amounts payable by the Employer to the Executive constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) such payments are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. Neither party individually or in combination may accelerate, offset or assign any such deferred payment, except in compliance with Section 409A. No amount shall be paid prior to the earliest date on which it is permitted to be paid under Section 409A and the Executive shall have no discretion with respect to the timing of payments except as permitted under Section 409A. In the event that the Executive is determined to be a “key employee” (as defined and determined under Section 409A) of the Employer at a time when its stock is deemed to be publicly traded on an established securities market, payments determined to be “nonqualified deferred compensation” payable upon separation from service shall be made no earlier than (a) the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th) complete calendar month following such termination of employment, or (b) the Executive’s death, consistent with the provisions of Section 409A.  Any payment delayed by reason of the prior sentence shall be paid out in a single lump sum at the end of such required delay period in order to catch up to the original payment schedule.  All expense reimbursement or in-kind benefits subject to Section 409A provided under this Agreement or, unless otherwise specified in writing, under any Employer program or policy, shall be subject to the following rules: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during one calendar year may not affect the benefits provided during any other year; (ii) reimbursements shall be paid no later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which the Executive incurs such expenses, and the Executive shall take all actions necessary to claim all such reimbursements on a timely basis to permit the Employer to make all such reimbursement payments prior to the end of said period, and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.  The Executive shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes applicable to payments or benefits received from the Employer.  It is the intent of the Employer that the provisions of this Agreement and all other plans and programs sponsored by the Employer be interpreted to comply in all respects with Section 409A; however, the Employer shall have no liability to the Executive, or any successor or beneficiary thereof, in the event taxes, penalties or excise taxes may ultimately be determined to be applicable to any payment or benefit received by the Executive or any successor or beneficiary thereof.

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT, effective as of December 28, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), is made and entered into by and between Digital Turbine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”); Digital Turbine Group, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Seller”); and Peter A. Adderton and Fred E. Goldring, the sole members of Seller (the “Members”).

 

A.           Seller is engaged in the business of the development and marketing of a customized user interface and content management system for mobile entertainment devices (the “Business”).

 

B.           Purchaser wishes to purchase from Seller, and Seller wishes to sell to Purchaser, the Business together with the Purchased Assets (as defined below), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

SALE AND PURCHASE OF ASSETS

 

1.1           Assets to be Transferred.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser herein set forth, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Purchaser, by appropriate deeds, bills of sale, assignments and other instruments satisfactory to Purchaser and its counsel, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest, as of the Effective Time, in and to the Purchased Assets.

 

1.2           Title to Purchased Assets.  The Purchased Assets shall be conveyed free and clear of all liabilities, obligations and Liens.

 

1.3           Nontransferable Assets.  Notwithstanding Section 1.1 above, in the event any consent or approval of a third party is required pursuant to Applicable Law or the terms of any applicable agreement or arrangement to consummate the transfer to Purchaser, free and clear of all liabilities, obligations and Liens, of any asset included within the definition of Purchased Assets, and such consent or approval has not been obtained at or prior to the Effective Time, then such asset shall not be transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement at the Effective Time. Instead, Seller shall continue to use all reasonable efforts, at its sole cost and expense, to obtain any such consent or approval until such consent or approval has been obtained, and Purchaser shall be entitled to retain the economic benefits of such asset as if such asset had been transferred to Purchaser at the Effective Time.

  

  

  

 

ARTICLE II

 

NO ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES

 

2.1           No Assumption of Liabilities.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Purchaser shall not assume or be liable for any liabilities or obligations of Seller, direct or indirect, fixed, contingent or otherwise, known or unknown, which exist at the Effective Time or which arise thereafter as a result of any act, omission or circumstance taking place prior to the Effective Time (collectively, “Excluded Liabilities”).

 

ARTICLE III

 

PURCHASE PRICE, PAYMENT AND RELATED MATTERS

 

3.1           Payment of the Purchase Price.  The purchase price for the Purchased Assets shall be payable by Purchaser on the Closing Date in the form of a stock certificate (the “Stock Certificate”), constituting fifty thousand (50,000) shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”), issued in the name of Seller. The original Stock Certificate shall be delivered to Seller within three (3) business days after the Closing Date. The Stock Certificate shall bear the legend set forth in Section 5.22(e). No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued. Any fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole share.

 

3.2           Changes in Parent Common Stock.  In the event that, after the date hereof but prior to the applicable date of delivery of the Stock Certificate, there has occurred the record date of any reclassification, stock split, stock dividend or similar change in respect of the Parent Common Stock, then appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of shares of Parent Common Stock and/or kind of securities issued as such Stock Consideration, in order to provide Seller with the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock and/or securities that it would have received after such reclassification, stock split, stock dividend or similar change if such date of delivery had occurred immediately prior to the record date of such reclassification, stock split, stock dividend or similar change (and all references herein to the Stock Consideration shall refer to such adjusted number and/or kind of securities).

 

3.3           Excise Taxes; Title Insurance Premiums.  All sales, documentary and transfer taxes arising out of the sale of the Purchased Assets hereunder, as well as the survey costs and premiums for all policies of title insurance and all charges for or in connection with the recording of any document or instrument herein provided shall be paid by Seller. Any other charges of the title insurer shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

CLOSING

 

4.1           Time and Place.  The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Loeb & Loeb LLP, 10100 Santa Monica Boulevard, Suite 2200, Los Angeles, California 90067, at 10:00 a.m. local time on the date hereof or at such other time and place as Purchaser and Seller mutually agree in writing.  The Closing shall be effective (and the possession and control of the Purchased Assets shall vest in Purchaser) as of the Effective Time, and all transactions and deliveries at the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously.  The “Effective Time” shall mean 12:01 a.m. Los Angeles time on the day after the Closing.

4.2           Transactions at the Closing.  At the Closing, the following shall occur:

(d)           Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (i) a cashier’s or certified check drawn by Seller to the order of Purchaser in the aggregate amount of all of Seller’s cash on hand and in banks or, at Purchaser’s option, an assignment of all of Seller’s bank accounts in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser; and (ii) all instruments and securities constituting a part of the Cash and Cash Equivalents as of the Effective Time, duly endorsed to the order of Purchaser;

 

(e)           Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all of the Books and Records of Seller;

 

(f)           Seller shall provide to Purchaser a certificate of good standing with respect to its jurisdiction of formation and each other jurisdiction in which Seller does business;

(h)           Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the latest Tax bills affecting the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, any and all assessment notices, whether special or general, local, state or otherwise;

 

(i)           Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all other properties, documents and certificates required to be delivered to Purchaser hereunder, to the extent not theretofore delivered;

(l)           Purchaser shall have received from DT AUS an executed copy of a first amendment to the License Agreement between Seller and DTPL in form satisfactory to Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, which shall be effective at the Effective Time; and

 

(m)           Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of any and all consents and approvals required to consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, together with a listing of any consents or approvals that have not been so obtained as of the Effective Time.

COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

AFTER CLOSING

 

9.1           Covenants Against Competition.  Seller and each Member acknowledges that the consideration received by Seller for the Business and the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement is at least equal to the fair market value thereof, reflecting, among other things, the value of all of the goodwill of the Business as a going enterprise, and that the covenants of Seller and each Member in this Section 9.1 are intended to preserve and protect the value of the goodwill of the Business for the benefit of Purchaser.  Each Member acknowledges that, as a result of Seller’s receipt of the consideration under this Agreement, such Member will receive a substantial benefit. Seller and each Member further acknowledge that Seller and its employees and Members have over many years devoted substantial time, effort and resources to developing the Business’ trade secrets and its other confidential and proprietary information as well as the Business’ relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and others doing business with the Business; that such relationships, trade secrets and other information are vital to the successful conduct of the Business in the future; that Seller, in the furtherance of the Business, has, and has in the past provided each Member with, the opportunity and support necessary to allow it or him to establish personal and professional relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and others having business relationships with the Business and has afforded such Member unlimited access to Seller’s trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information; that because of the opportunities and support so provided to such Member and because of such Member’s access to Seller’s confidential information and trade secrets, Seller and such Member would be in a unique position to divert business from the Business and to commit irreparable damage to the Business were Seller or such Member to be allowed to compete with the Business or to commit any of the other acts prohibited below; that the enforcement of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.1 against Seller and each Member would not impose any undue burden upon Seller or such Member; that none of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.1 is unreasonable as to period or geographic area; and that the ability to enforce the covenants set forth in this Section 9.1 against Seller and each Member is a material inducement to the decision of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.  Seller and each Member acknowledge that Purchaser would not purchase the Purchased Assets but for the agreements and covenants of Seller and the Members contained in this Section 9.1.  Accordingly, Seller and each of the Members, jointly and severally, covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a)           Covenant Not to Compete.  Neither Seller nor such Member at any time within the five (5) year period immediately following the Effective Time (the “Restricted Period”) shall have any ownership interest (of record or beneficial) in or have any interest as an employee, salesman, consultant, officer or director in, or otherwise aid or assist in any manner, (i) any firm, corporation, partnership, proprietorship or other business that engages in any market or in any geographic area in the world in a business which is similar to the Business, so long as Purchaser, or any successor in interest of Purchaser to the Business, remains engaged in the Business in any such county, city or part thereof or continues to solicit customers or potential customers therein; provided, however, that any such Member may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person which are traded on any national securities exchange if such Member (i) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person or (ii) does not, directly or indirectly own one percent (1%) or more of any class of securities of such Person.

 

(b)           Solicitation of Business.  During the Restricted Period, Seller and such Member shall not solicit or assist any other Person to solicit any business (other than for Purchaser) from any present or past customer of the Business or any of its Affiliates; or request or advise any present or future customer of the Business to withdraw, curtail or cancel its business dealings with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates; or commit any other act or assist others to commit any other act which might injure the Business.

 

(c)           Employees.  During the Restricted Period, Seller and such Member shall not directly or indirectly (i) solicit or encourage any employee of the Business to leave the employ of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (ii) hire any employee who has left the employment of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates if such hiring is proposed to occur within one (1) year after the termination of such employee’s employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

  

13

  

 

(d)          Confidential Information.  From and after the date hereof and following the Closing, Seller and such Member shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, and shall not use for the benefit of Seller, such Member or others, except for Purchaser, all confidential Intellectual Property relating to the Business, including, without limitation, customer lists, pricing policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product development techniques or plans, business acquisition plans, new personnel acquisition plans, methods of manufacture, technical processes, designs and design projects, invention and research projects and other business affairs relating to the Business learned by Seller or the Members heretofore or hereafter, and shall not disclose them to anyone outside of Purchaser and its Affiliates except upon Purchaser’s express prior written consent.

 

(e)          Rights and Remedies Upon Breach.  If Seller or any Member breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.1, Purchaser shall have the right and remedy to have such covenants specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, all without the need to post a bond or any other security or to prove any amount of actual damage or that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to Purchaser and that monetary damages will not provide an adequate remedy to Purchaser.

 

(f)           Severability of Covenants/Blue Pencilling.  If any court determines that any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.1, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.  If any court determines that any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.1, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or area of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.  Seller and such Member hereby waive any and all right to attack the validity of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.1 on the grounds of the breadth of their geographic scope or the length of their term.

 

(g)          Enforceability in Jurisdictions.  Seller, the Members and Purchaser intend to and do hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants set forth in this Section 9.1 upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such covenants.  If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold such covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of Seller, the Members and Purchaser that such determination not bar or in any way affect the right of Purchaser to the relief provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such covenants, as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, such covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

 

9.2           Change of Name of Seller. Within ten (10) business days following the Closing, Seller shall file an amendment to its articles of organization with the California Secretary of State, and make all such other filings and take all such other actions, to change Seller’s name so as not include the words “Digital Turbine” or any derivatives or abbreviations thereof. From and after the Closing, Seller shall cease using and shall not authorize or permit the use of the words “Digital Turbine” or any derivatives or abbreviations thereof as the name of any business (including any trade name or fictitious name however denominated).

9.3           Sale Restriction. Neither Seller nor any Member shall sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Stock Consideration for a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time.

In the event of any dispute or controversy arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to submit such dispute or controversy to binding arbitration pursuant to either the JAMS Streamlined (for claims under $250,000.00) or the JAMS Comprehensive (for claims over $250,000.00) Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except as modified herein, including the Optional Appeal Procedure.

Each party hereby authorizes and accepts service of process sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against it as contemplated by this Section by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to its address for the giving of notices as set forth in this Agreement.  The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on all the parties to the arbitration, shall be non-appealable and may be enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party reasonable attorney’s fees, as well as its costs and expenses.  The Arbitrator may grant any remedy appropriate including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance.  Prior to the appointment of the Arbitrator, any party may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from the Los Angeles County Superior Court which shall be effective until a final decision is rendered by the Arbitrator.

11.13       Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of original, facsimile or other electronic counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

11.14       Severability.  In the event that any provision or any part of any provision of this Agreement shall be void or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, then such provision shall be stricken and of no force and effect.  However, unless such stricken provision goes to the essence of the consideration bargained for by a party, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and to the extent required, shall be modified to preserve their validity.

 

11.15       No Third Party Rights.  This Agreement is not made for the benefit of any third party except for Purchaser’s successors and assign.

 

11.16       Construction.  The language in all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed simply, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any of the parties hereto.
