(iv)                 If Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Debt and the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses.

In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Accounting Firm, (A) each of Buyer and Seller shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Accounting Firm to provide their views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of any of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Debt and the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses; (B) the Accounting Firm shall determine the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Debt and the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and using the policies, conventions, methodologies and procedures used by the Company in preparing the Financial Statements within thirty (30) days of such referral and upon reaching such determination shall deliver a copy of its calculations (the “Expert Calculations”) to Seller and Buyer; and (C) the determination made by the Accounting Firm of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Debt and the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses shall be final and binding on Buyer, the Company and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement, absent manifest error.

The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by Seller, on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller and Buyer.

Section 7.04 Certain Limitations. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE VII is also referred herein as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. The indemnification provided for in Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

 

(a)                    The right of the Buyer Indemnitees to be indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from intentional fraud on the part of any Seller or on the part of the Company prior to the Closing, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. The right of the Seller Indemnitees to be indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from intentional fraud on the part of Buyer or on the part of the Company after the Closing, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. No current or former member, shareholder, board member, officer, employee, Affiliate or advisor of the Company or Seller (solely in their capacity as such) shall have any liability of any nature to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained in, or any other breach of, this Agreement.

 

(b)                    No Indemnifying Party shall be liable to an Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a) exceeds CHF 300,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible. With respect to any claim as to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses which do not exceed CHF 15,000 (which Losses shall not be counted toward the Deductible). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 7.04(b) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 3.01, Section 3.03(c), Section 3.21, Section 4.01, Section 4.04 and Section 4.05.

 

45
 

 

(c)                    The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, shall not exceed twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the Purchase Price. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 3.01, Section 3.03(c), Section 3.21, Section 4.01, Section 4.04 or Section 4.05, as the case may be, shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

 

(d)             Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by an Indemnified Party (or the Company) in respect of any such claim. Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

 

(e)            Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit actually realized as a result of such Loss by each Indemnified Party.

 

(f)                     In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple, except to the extent such damages are actually awarded to a Governmental Authority or other third party.

 

(g)                    Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

 

Section 7.05 Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a)                    Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a material supplier or customer of the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third- Party Claim, subject to Section 7.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third- Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.08) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of- pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

 

46
 

 

(b)                    Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 7.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

47
 

 

(c)                    Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty

 

(30)     day-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(31)      

Section 7.06 Payments.

 

(a)                    Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE VII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%).

 

(b)                    Any Losses payable by Seller to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this ARTICLE VII shall be satisfied, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.04: (i) if Seller so elects, first, from all or any portion of the Stock Consideration Shares held by Seller, calculated based on the Volume Weighted Average Trading Price as of the date of payment by Seller of such amount; (ii) second, from the Holdback Amount; and (iii) then, to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the amounts available to the Buyer Indemnitee from the Stock Consideration Shares (if applicable) and Holdback Amount, from Seller.

 

48
 

 

Section 7.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

Section 7.08 Exclusive Remedies. In furtherance of, and subject to, Section 7.04(a), each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VII. Nothing in Section 7.04(a) or this Section 7.08 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 9.11 or to seek any remedy on account of intentional fraud by any party hereto.

Accordingly, as of immediately before the Closing, for the consideration set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged: (i) all Protected Communication and Associated Rights are, and will be deemed for all purposes, transferred, assigned, conveyed and delivered in full to Seller and (ii) no member of the AgEagle Group will have any right, title, interest or benefit in or to, or right to access or use, any of the Protected Communication or any Associated Rights.

 

(b)                    If and to the extent that, at any time from and after the Closing, any member of the AgEagle Group will have any Associated Rights, each member of the AgEagle Group will not, and will cause the other members of the AgEagle Group not to, waive such Associated Rights without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in their respective sole discretion). Buyer, for itself and its Affiliates, agrees to take commercially reasonable efforts, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to carry out the purposes of this Section 9.14, including the assignment of the Protected Communications and Associated Rights to Seller hereunder.

2.1Shelf Registration.

 

2.1.1        On or prior to the Filing Date, the Parent shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all or such maximum portion of the Registrable Securities as permitted by SEC Guidance (provided that, the Parent shall use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29) that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Parent is then ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, such registration shall be on Form S-1 in accordance herewith) and shall contain the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Parent shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, without the requirement for the Parent to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Parent pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Parent’s transfer agent and the Holder (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Parent shall submit to the Commission a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on a Business Day. The Parent shall promptly notify the Holder by e-mail n of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Business Day that the Parent telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission. The Parent shall, no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, shall comply as to form and content with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

 

2.1.2             The Holder agrees to furnish to the Parent a completed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of the Stock Consideration Shares to the Holder, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, a form of which is provided by the Parent together with this Agreement as Exhibit B. The Holder further acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or use the Prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless the Holder has returned to the Parent a completed and signed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire. If the Holder returns a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire after the deadline specified in the previous sentence, the Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are required to name the Holder as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or any pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto and to include (to the extent not theretofore included) in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities identified in the late Selling Stockholder Questionnaire; provided that the Parent shall not be required to file an additional Registration Statement solely for such shares. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire will be used by the Parent in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement.

3.REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

 

3.1                   Filings; Information. Whenever the Parent is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Parent shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

 

3.1.2             Copies. The Parent shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration, and such holder’s legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other documents as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration or legal counsel for any such holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders.

 

3.1.3             Amendments and Supplements. The Parent shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn. The Parent shall use its best efforts to cause any post-effective amendment to any such Registration Statement that is not effective upon filing to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing. The Parent shall, no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement becomes effective, file a final prospectus or prospectus supplement with the Commission as required by Rule 424.

 

3.1.4             Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement, the Parent shall promptly, and in no event more than one (1) Business Day after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within one (1) Business Day of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) receipt of a comment letter from the Commission; (ii) notification by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments; (iii) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iv) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (v) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Parent shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (vi) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Parent shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the Parent shall not file any Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, to which such holders or their legal counsel shall object. The Parent shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction.

 

4
 

 

3.1.5        State Securities Laws Compliance. The Parent shall use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended Plan of Distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Parent and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Parent shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

 

3.1.6Intentionally deleted.

 

3.1.7             Earnings Statement. The Parent shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Securities Act, and make available to its shareholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

 

5
 

 

3.1.8             Listing. The Parent shall use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities included in any registration to be (i) listed on such exchanges or otherwise designated for trading in the same manner as the Common Stock is then listed or designated or, if the Common Stock is not then listed or designated, in a manner satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration and (ii) reflected in the stock ledger maintained by the Parent’s transfer agent.

 

3.1.9             Regulation M. The Parent shall take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

 

3.2             Obligation to Suspend Use of the Prospectus. Upon receipt of any notice from the Parent of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1.4(vi), each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1.4(vi), and, if so directed by the Parent, each such holder will deliver to the Parent all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

 

3.3             Registration Expenses. The Holder shall reimburse the Parent up to $50,000 (the “Expense Cap”) for: (i) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement(s) pursuant to Section 2.1 and (ii) all expenses incurred in performing or complying with Parent’s other obligations under this Agreement, upon presentation of invoices evidencing such fees and expenses in reasonable detail. Except for the Expense Cap or as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the Holder shall not be responsible for any other costs or expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Parent in complying with the Parent’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

3.4             Information. The holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Parent in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 and in connection with the Parent’s obligation to comply with Federal and applicable state securities laws.

 

4.INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

 

4.1                   Indemnification by the Parent. The Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, managers, partners, members, stockholders, attorneys, representatives and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Holder and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, a “Holder Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any documents incorporated therein by reference, (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Parent or its agents of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Parent or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Parent in connection with any such registration; and the Parent shall promptly reimburse the Holder Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action whether or not any such person is a party to any such claim or action and including any and all legal and other expenses incurred in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise; provided, however, that the Parent will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Parent, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein. Such indemnity shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Holder and any termination of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any liability the Parent may otherwise have.

 

6
 

 

4.2                   Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.4.3 hereof, each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Parent, each of its directors and officers, and each other selling holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein, in light of the circumstance in which they were made, not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Parent by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Parent, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds (after expenses, fees, commissions and discounts) actually received by such selling holder for the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement which gives rise to such obligation to indemnify and/or contribute. Such indemnity shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Holder and any termination of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any liability the selling holder may otherwise have.

 

7
 

 

4.3                   Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written advice of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (including differing legal defenses). No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party that includes a statement about or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

 

4.4Contribution.

 

4.4.1           If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties on the one hand and the Indemnifying Parties on the other hand in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

8
 

 

4.4.2             The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.

 

4.4.3             The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after expenses, fees, commissions, and discounts) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

5.RULE 144.

 

5.1                   Rule 144. The Parent covenants that it shall (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the Effective Date, (ii) file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner, at any time after the Effective Date, and (iii) shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.

 

6.MISCELLANEOUS.

 

6.1                   Preservation of Rights. The Parent shall not enter into any agreement, take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities that violates or subordinates the rights expressly granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement, without first obtaining the consent in writing by the holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities.

 

6.2                   Other Registration Rights. The Parent represents and warrants that (a) no person, other than the holders of the Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Parent to register any of the Parent’s equity securities, or securities exercisable for or exchangeable into Parent equity securities in any registration filed by the Parent for the sale of equity securities for its own account or for the account of any other person and (b) neither the execution, delivery or

ANNEX A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

The selling stockholder and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors- in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which shares of our Common Stock are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:

 

  ●| ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
     
  privately negotiated transactions;
     
  to cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
     
  broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
     
  a combination of any of these methods of sale; and
     
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available for the selling stockholder, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholder has the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

 

The selling stockholder may, from time to time, pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If the selling stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

 
 

 

If sales of shares offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In the post-effective amendment, we would be required to disclose the names of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.

 

The selling stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares offered under this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell shares offered under this prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

The selling stockholder and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the Selling Stockholder or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

FINAL FORM

 

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October , 2021 (“Effective Date”), between Parrot Drones S.A.S., a Société par Actions Simplifiée organized under the laws of France (“Provider”), senseFly S.A., a Société anonyme organized under the laws of Switzerland (“Recipient”) and AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Purchaser”). Provider, Recipient and Purchaser are each referred to herein as a Party and collectively as the Parties”. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

 

WHEREAS, Pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of October , 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between Provider and Purchaser, Provider sold to Purchaser, and Purchaser purchased from Provider, 100% of the equity of Recipient;

 

WHEREAS, At Purchaser’s request, Provider has agreed to provide to Recipient, from and after the Effective Date, certain temporary transition services on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 

WHEREAS, Purchaser has agreed to guaranty performance of all obligations of Recipient under this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, this Agreement constitutes the Transition Services Agreement referred to in the Purchase Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, conditions and provisions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of Provider and Recipient hereby agrees as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

TRANSITION SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY PROVIDER

 

1.1                                         Transition Services. During the Term, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Provider shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Recipient, on the terms set forth herein, the services specifically listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Services Schedule”). The services described in the Services Schedule are, collectively, the Transition Services”. Upon the expiration of the Term (or earlier pursuant to Article V) the obligations of Provider with respect to the provision of the Transition Services (or applicable Transition Service) shall automatically and immediately terminate.

 

1.2                                         Standard of Performance. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Provider shall provide (or cause to be provided) to Recipient the Transition Services in a timely and workmanlike manner sufficient to enable Recipient to continue the Business as it exists as of the effective date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, at substantially the same level of service as of the effective date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, and with substantially the same degree of care, as Provider uses in the operation of its own business. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing standard shall not be construed to make Provider responsible for any failure of Recipient to continue the Business that results from Recipient’s lack of capacity or other failures of Recipient not reasonably within the control of Provider, including, for example, without limitation, Recipient’s failure to obtain any third-party consent or license.

 

2Transition Services Agreement
 

 

1.3                                         Usage. The Transition Services may not be used by Recipient for any purpose or in any manner (including as to volume, amount, level or frequency, as applicable) other than as they were used in the conduct of Recipient’s business (the “Business”) as of the effective date of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

1.4                                         Right to Change Practices. Provider may make changes (including upgrading or changing technology, software or information systems used by it in connection with this Agreement and replacing third-party service providers) and apply such changes, to the extent applicable, to the Transition Services; provided that Provider shall, to the extent such changes would materially impact the Business, first consult with Recipient and obtain approval for such changes, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Provider shall have no obligation to provide, or cause to be provided, Transition Services to the extent that any changes are made to the business of the Recipient or its Affiliates that materially increase or materially and adversely change Provider’s burden or cost or risk with respect to the provision of such Transition Services, or that make commercially impracticable the provision of such Transition Services. Provider shall have no obligation to provide, or to cause to be provided, Transition Services to any Person other than the Recipient and its Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Transition Services shall not include assistance for expansion, acquisition, employee additions or reductions not in the ordinary course of business, new applications, or site redesign by the Recipient, Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates or their respective businesses.

 

1.5                       Cooperation; Access.

 

(a)                  Recipient agrees to reasonably cooperate (at Recipient’s expense) with Provider in connection with any matters related to the provision or receipt of the Transition Services. To the extent required for the performance of any Transition Service, Recipient shall provide to Provider reasonable access, on an as-needed basis, to Recipient’s and its Affiliates’ personnel, equipment, office space, telecommunications and computer systems and any other assets and operations reasonably required for delivery of all or any part of the Transition Services. Recipient shall, at the request of Provider in consultation with Recipient, from time to time and without further consideration, execute and deliver such consents, acknowledgements, assurances and other documents as may be reasonably necessary for Provider to satisfy and perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(b)                                           Provider and its Affiliates and any Third Party Service Providers shall not be liable for any impairment of any Transition Service directly caused by their not receiving the information, materials or access required by this Section 1.5. If any Transition Service provided hereunder is dependent on, or will require the involvement or performance of, Recipient or any of its Affiliates, including Recipient or its Affiliate maintaining appropriate levels of staffing with the appropriate levels of expertise, experience and skill, then Provider and its Affiliates and Third Party Service Providers shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement, or otherwise be liable for any failure to provide any Transition Services, or to otherwise fully perform any of its obligations hereunder, to the extent such failure or lack of full performance is due to the failure of Recipient or any of its Affiliates to (i) fully perform its obligations hereunder or (ii) maintain appropriate levels of staffing with appropriate levels of expertise, experience and skill.

 

3Transition Services Agreement
 

 

1.6                                         Transitional Nature of Services. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that Provider is providing (or causing to be provided) the Transition Services on a transition basis only in order to allow Recipient a period of time to provide or obtain similar services for itself, and that Provider is not a commercial provider of such Transition Services. Accordingly, as promptly as Recipient reasonably determines is practicable following the execution of this Agreement and in no event no later than the end of the Term, Recipient agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly transition each Transition Service to Recipient’s own internal organization or obtain alternate third-party sources to provide the Transition Services and end its use of each Transition Service (the cessation of a Transition Service, a “Service Migration”). Provider shall not be responsible for bearing any direct or indirect costs of any Service Migration.

 

1.7                Compliance with Law; Exclusions.

 

(a)                  Without limiting Provider’s obligations under Sections 1.1 and 1.2 hereof, neither Provider nor any of its Affiliates nor any Third Party Service Provider shall be obligated to perform, or to cause to be performed, any Transition Service in a manner that is not consistent with their respective policies, procedures and practices. Provider shall, in consultation with Recipient, determine, in its reasonable discretion, the means and resources used to provide the Transition Services pursuant to this Agreement, subject to the standard of performance in Section

 

1.2 above. Provider’s obligation to provide the Transition Services hereunder is subject, in all respects, to the policies, procedures and practices of Provider and its Affiliates, in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, including as such policies, procedures and practices as may be amended by Provider or its Affiliates from time to time in the ordinary course of business, as applicable (provided that such amendments apply to Provider generally, and are not directed only to Recipient). Provider shall not have any obligation to (x) replace or cause the replacement of any Person who is employed or otherwise engaged by Provider or any of its Affiliates to perform Transition Services upon the termination of such Person’s employment or other engagement with Provider or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, for whatever reason (provided that Provider shall still provide the Transition Services using suitably qualified, skilled and experienced personnel), or (y) perform or cause to be performed any Transition Services performed by any Person who is employed or otherwise engaged by Provider or any of its Affiliates if such Person subsequently becomes employed or otherwise engaged by Recipient, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates during the Term.

 

(b)                 Each Party shall perform its obligations and exercise its rights hereunder in compliance with all applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including in any Services Schedule, Provider, its Affiliates and any Third Party Service Providers shall not be required hereunder to take any action (including in providing any Transition Services) that would constitute (a) a violation of applicable Law, (b) a breach of any of Provider’s contractual obligations to a third party, or (c) any other violation of a third party’s rights. In the event, however, that continued provision of the Transition Services in compliance with the standard of performance set forth in Section 1.2 above requires a change to Recipient’s business practices or overhead costs, Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to propose a reasonable alternative to Recipient.

 

4Transition Services Agreement
 

 

(c)                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Transition Services shall in no event include, and Provider shall not be required to provide or cause to be provided to Recipient, services that involve or relate to (i) the custody of cash; (ii) the commingling of funds; (iii) the provision of legal, compliance, regulatory or tax advice; (iv) the filing of tax returns; (v) the provision of data or records except as otherwise provided in Schedule A or as is necessary to continue the operation of the Business as it existed as of the Closing Date; (vi) the funding of any employee benefit plan or other retirement, deferred compensation, incentive, equity based, severance, employment, change in control or fringe benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement, adopted or maintained by Recipient, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates (the “Recipient Employee Benefit Plans”); (vii) any benefit program compliance services with respect to any Recipient Employee Benefit Plans; (viii) the funding of any payroll, payroll taxes or workers’ compensation or (ix) the reimbursement of any travel expenses. Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that Provider will not become a fiduciary with respect to any Recipient Employee Benefit Plans by reason of providing any of the Transition Services under this Agreement, and to the extent the provision of any such Transition Service would cause Provider to become a fiduciary with respect to any Recipient Employee Benefit Plan, Provider shall not be required to provide, or cause to be provided, such Transition Services to any of the Recipient or its Affiliates.

 

1.8                    Delegation of Transition Services. Recipient acknowledges that Provider may provide the applicable Transition Services itself, through any of its Affiliates or through one or more third parties engaged by Provider to provide Transition Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (each such third party, a “Third Party Service Provider”). Provider acknowledges that notwithstanding any delegation of its responsibilities under this Agreement, it shall remain responsible for the provision of the Transition Services and its Affiliates’ and Third Party Service Provider’s compliance with the standard of performance set forth herein, and shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of such Third Party Service Provider in connection with performance of the Transition Services, as if it had performed such acts or omissions itself. During the Term, Provider shall notify Recipient of any Third Party Service Providers that Provider desires to use in providing the Transition Services and provide an estimate of the costs likely to be incurred by Recipient from any such Third Party Service Provider. Recipient shall have the right to reject any such Third Party Service Provider in its reasonable discretion. Provider shall not enter into any agreement on behalf of, or that would otherwise bind, Recipient or its Affiliates.

 

1.9                    Intellectual Property Rights. Each Party shall retain all right, title and interest in and to its Intellectual Property. All Intellectual Property created or developed by or on behalf of Provider in connection with this Agreement shall belong to Provider provided, however, that to the extent Provider provides any deliverable to Recipient, Provider will grant, and hereby does grant, to Recipient and its Affiliates, successors and assigns, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid-up, sublicensable, and transferrable right and license to use any Intellectual Property owned and developed solely by Provider and contained in such deliverable for the purpose of using such deliverable for maintaining, supplementing, correcting and enhancing such deliverable over time. All Intellectual Property created or developed by or on behalf of Recipient in connection with this Agreement shall belong to Recipient. No other license, express or implied, is being granted by Provider or Recipient under this Agreement.

 

5Transition Services Agreement
 

 

ARTICLE II 

PRICING & PAYMENT FOR TRANSITION SERVICES

 

2.1                   Service Fees. The fees (“Fees”) payable to Provider for each Transition Service during the Initial Term are set forth in the attached Services Schedules. Commencing upon the expiration of the Initial Term and for the remainder of the Term, if applicable, the Fees for those Transition Services to be provided for the remainder of the Term will be as mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

 

2.2                   Third Party Costs. Costs from Third Party Service Providers shall be reimbursed by Recipient, provided that Recipient reserves the right to review all Third Party Service Provider invoices and object to any such invoice to the extent the Third Party Service Provider failed to adequately perform the services invoiced.

 

2.3                   Invoices. Provider shall invoice Recipient monthly for the Transition Services, including all Third Party Fees, and Recipient shall pay Provider within thirty (30) days after the date of Recipient’s receipt of each such invoice that is not disputed by Recipient. Recipient shall not offset any amounts payable by it hereunder against any other amounts owed to it by Provider. If Recipient fails to pay the full amount of any undisputed invoice within such thirty (30) day period, Provider shall give written notice of such failure and no less than three (3) Business Days to cure. Any such failure not cured within such 3-day period will be considered a material breach of this Agreement, for which Provider may, without liability and in its sole discretion, suspend its obligations hereunder to provide any and all Transition Services to Recipient until such time as all invoices have been paid in full or terminate this Agreement.

 

2.4                   Interest Payable on Amounts Past Due. All payments required to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall bear interest from and including the date such payment is due until but excluding the date of payment, at a monthly rate equal to the lesser of (i) one and one quarter of one percent (1.25%) per month or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law. In addition, Recipient shall indemnify Provider for its costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred to collect any unpaid amount that is past due and not disputed in writing by Recipient.

13.6          Interpretation. Headings are intended solely for the Parties’ convenience and will not affect the meaning of any term. This Agreement will be interpreted according to the plain meaning of its terms without a presumption that it should favor any Party. Lists of examples following “including” or “e.g.” or similar words are not exhaustive (i.e., are interpreted to include “without limitation”), unless qualified by words such as “only” or “solely.”

 

13.7          Assignment. Licensee will not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights, obligations or performance under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without Licensor’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may freely assign this Agreement and any license granted in connection therewith to an Affiliate or in connection with a sale, merger, acquisition or reorganization, provided, however, that none of AgEagle, Licensee, or Affiliates thereof Affiliates with a Competitor of Licensor, as described in Section 12.2(c) above. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section 13.7 is void. This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

13.8Export Regulation.

 

13.8.1                  The Licensed Technology may be subject to French export control laws as well as other export control laws of other countries. Licensee will not directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Licensed Technology to, or make the Licensed Technology accessible from, any country, jurisdiction or Person to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by Law. Licensee will comply with all Law and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval) prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Licensed Technology available outside of Switzerland.

13.8.2                  Licensee will not use the License Technology: (a) in connection with the development, production, handling, operation, maintenance, storage, detection, identification, or dissemination of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices, or the development, production, maintenance or storage of missiles capable of delivering such weapons; or (b) for a military end-use (as defined in Regulation (EU) 2021/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2021) in a country subject to an arms embargo.

 

13.9          Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for any failure to perform acts, other than payment obligations, due to unforeseen circumstances or causes beyond the Parties’ reasonable control, including acts of God, war, riot, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, acts of terrorism or sabotage, epidemic/pandemic, quarantine, electronic viruses, worms or corrupting microcode, fire, flood, earthquake, accident, strikes, radiation, inability to secure transportation, failure of communications or electrical lines, facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials (“Force Majeure”). In an event of Force Majeure, either Party’s time for performance of the applicable obligation will be extended for a period equal to the duration of the delay caused by the Force Majeure event.

 

13.10       No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer on any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that Licensor will have the right, but not the obligation, to directly enforce the terms of this Agreement against Licensee’s or AgEagle’s Affiliates or subcontractors.

 

13.11       Amendment and Modification. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing, identified as an amendment to this Agreement and signed by an authorized representative of each Party.

 

13.12       Waiver and Severability. A Party’s delay or failure to exercise a right is not a waiver of that right. No waiver of a right or remedy under this Agreement will serve to waive any right or remedy in the future, nor to waive any other right or remedy. Waivers are effective only if written in English and signed by the waiving Party’s authorized representative. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect and will be construed so as to most nearly reflect the Parties’ intent with respect to such provision.

 

13.13       No Reliance. The Parties have not relied upon any promises, representations, warranties, statements, agreements, covenants or undertakings, other than those expressly incorporated into or set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement has been negotiated by the parties and their respective counsel and will be interpreted fairly in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or against either Party.

 

13.14       Expenses. Except as expressly provided in this License Agreement, each Party will bear all of its expenses and costs incurred in the performance of this License Agreement.

13.15       Cumulative Remedies. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder are not exclusive, and each party is entitled alternatively or cumulatively, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, to damages for breach, to an order requiring specific performance or to any other remedy available under applicable law or in equity.

 

13.16       Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of York or any other jurisdiction). Each Party consents to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal or state courts sitting in New York County, New York; provided, however, that any action to enforce Intellectual Property Rights may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

 

13.17       Equitable Relief. Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that: (a) a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement may give rise to irreparable harm to the other Party for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy; (b) in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such Party of any such obligations, the other Party will, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to such Party at Law, at equity, or otherwise in respect of such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief; and (c) in the event of a breach of the license grant, Licensee agrees that Licensor will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief to prevent use beyond what is licensed herein. The Parties agree that (a)-

 

(c) of this Section will not include any requirement to post a bond or other security or to prove actual damages or to prove that monetary damages will not afford an adequate remedy.

 

13.18       Counterparts. The Parties may execute this Agreement in counterparts. Each counterpart will be deemed an original, and all counterparts will constitute one agreement binding both parties. This Agreement may be translated for the convenience of the Parties. In all cases, only the English version of this Agreement will be binding upon the Parties. This Agreement may be executed by original, facsimile, or electronic signatures.

 

13.19       Attorneys’ Fees. If either Party employs attorneys to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and other expenses, including the costs and fees incurred on appeal.

 

13.20       Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the NDA, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or communications about that subject matter. This Agreement can be changed only by an agreement signed by both Parties by their authorized representatives.
