THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY OBLIGATION SHALL BE EFFECTIVE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. IN THE EVENT THAT ANY APPLICABLE LAW SHALL LIMIT IN ANY WAY THE EXTENT TO WHICH INDEMNIFICATION MAY BE PROVIDED TO AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL AUTOMATICALLY BE AMENDED TO PROVIDE THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED HEREUNDER SHALL EXTEND ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY SUCH APPLICABLE LAW. THIS CLAUSE SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN A FASHION THAT GIVES SELLER THE BROADEST INDEMNITY POSSIBLE, AS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT ASSETS. SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE INDEMNITY OBLIGATION UNDER THIS
EQUIPMENT PURCHASE & LIMITED WARRANTY BILL OF SALE IS AN OBLIGATION TO
INDEMNIFY BUYER FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS IN RELATION TO SELLER’S FAILURE TO PROVIDE GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLE. BUYER, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF ALL OF ITS SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND ALL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECT AND INDIRECT PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND EACH OF THEIR SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY THE “BUYER RELEASING PARTIES”) HEREBY RELEASES AND FOREVER DISCHARGES SELLER AND ALL OF ITS DIRECT AND INDIRECT PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE PREDECESSORS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS AND LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES AND EACH OF THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS, AND EMPLOYEES (COLLECTIVELY THE “SELLER RELEASED ENTITIES”) FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, CAUSES OF ACTION OR DEMANDS WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CLAIMS RELATED TO THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SUBJECT ASSETS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT (INCLUDING WARRANTY OR INDEMNITY), LAW OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY OR GROUND, AND WHETHER FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN, MATURED OR NOT MATURED, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH THE BUYER RELEASING PARTIES HAVE HAD, NOW HAVE, OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE, AGAINST ANY OF THE SELLER RELEASED ENTITIES, ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS EQUIPMENT PURCHASE & LIMITED WARRANTY BILL OF SALE OR BUYER’S OR A THIRD PARTY’S USE (OR LACK THEREOF) OF
THE SUBJECT ASSETS OR ANY PART THEREOF, WITH THE SOLE EXCEPTION OF CLAIMS FOR TRANSFER OF GOOD TITLE TO THE SUBJECT ASSETS.
The Parties shall at all times comply with all applicable export control laws and regulations, including without limitation, those of the European Union or the United States of America (“US”) and any amendments thereof, to the extent applicable. Buyer hereby agrees that it shall not, except as said laws and regulations may expressly permit, make any disposition by way of transshipment, export, diversion or otherwise, of US origin goods and technical data (including computer software), or the direct product thereof, supplied by Seller hereunder. Further, Buyer hereby certifies that the Goods and any related services, technical data, software or other information or assistance furnished by Seller or its affiliates under this Equipment Purchase & Limited
Warranty Bill of Sale will not be used in the design, development, production, stockpiling or use of chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons either by Buyer or by any entity acting, directly or indirectly, on Buyer’s behalf.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A CLAIM IS BASED IN CONTRACT (INCLUDING WARRANTY OR INDEMNITY), LAW OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY OR GROUND, THE TOTAL AND MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF SELLER FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THIS EQUIPMENT PURCHASE & LIMITED WARRANTY BILL OF SALE AND/OR THE DELIVERY AND USE OF THE SUBJECT ASSETS SHALL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED THE TOTAL PRICE PAID BY BUYER FOR THE SUBJECT ASSETS. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF CUSTOMER OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE AND/OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIMS OF BUYER’S CUSTOMERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS FOR ANY OF THE FOREGOING DAMAGES. FURTHERMORE, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL
SELLER BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES RELATED TO AND/OR RESULTING IN ANY WAY FROM THE USE, MAINTENANCE OR CUSTODY OF THE SUBJECT ASSETS BY BUYER, ITS EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND/OR AGENTS. ANY AND ALL OF SELLER’S LIABILITY OR INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS SHALL TERMINATE ENTIRELY UPON DELIVERY OF THE SUBJECT
ASSETS TO BUYER.
