(b) Subject to the overall limitations set forth in this Section 9.4, if Seller fails to give notice of its election to assume the defense of a third-party claim pursuant to Section 9.5(a), and the Purchaser Indemnified Party proceeds with the defense of such claim or proceeding on its own: (i) all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim (with counsel not reasonably objected to by Seller) shall be borne and paid exclusively by Seller (provided that in no event shall Seller be liable for more than one counsel for all Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to such third-party claim); (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnified Party any non-privileged documents and materials in its possession or control that may be reasonably necessary to the defense of such claim or proceeding; (iii) the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall keep Seller reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or proceeding; (iv) Seller shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim, but at its sole cost and expense; and (v) the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall not, without the consent of Seller (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle, compromise or discharge such third-party claim or permit a default or consent to entry of judgment, unless any such settlement, compromise, discharge or consent includes a release of Seller from all liability arising out of such third-party claim, provides solely for monetary relief and involves no finding or admission of any violation of any Law by the Purchaser (unless Seller elects to waive any such requirement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time upon five (5) business days notice, Seller shall have the right to assume the defense of a third-party claim that is currently being defended by the Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.4(b), except to the extent that the Purchaser Indemnified Party would be actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

(c) by either of the Purchasers or Seller (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein), if there shall have been a material breach or misrepresentation of any of the representations or warranties or a material breach of or failure to perform in any material respect any of the covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement on the part of Seller, on the one hand, or either Purchaser, on the other hand, which breach, misrepresentation or failure would give rise to the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.2(a), as the case may be, and such breach, misrepresentation or failure cannot be cured prior to the Termination Date, unless such breach, misrepresentation or failure, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Closing;
 
(d) by either of the Purchasers or Seller (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if satisfaction of a material condition set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, as the case may be, for the benefit of the terminating party cannot be fulfilled or satisfied prior to the Termination Date and has not been waived by the terminating party, provided that the terminating party shall not be responsible for the failure of such condition to be satisfied;
 
 
 

 
(e) by either of the Purchasers if Seller (i) consummates an Alternative Transaction (other than to or by the Purchasers), (ii) files, seeks or supports Bankruptcy Court Approval of a chapter 11 plan contemplating the sale or retention of the Purchased Assets in a manner substantially inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or (iii) executes and delivers an agreement or understanding of any kind with respect to an Alternative Transaction with any party other than the Purchasers (other than that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated April 26, 2012, by and between Seller and the Saban Purchaser);
 
(f) by either of the Purchasers or Seller if the Bankruptcy Court enters an order approving any Alternative Transaction (other than the sale of the Purchased Business and the Purchased Assets to the Purchasers); or
 
(g) by either of the Purchasers or Seller on any day on or after July 15, 2012 (the “Termination Date”) if the Closing shall not have been consummated by such date (or by such later date as may be mutually agreed to by Purchasers and Seller in writing), unless the Closing has not occurred due to a material failure of the terminating party to perform or observe any of its covenants or obligations as set forth in this Agreement required to be performed or observed by it on or before the Closing Date.
 
 
10.2           Effect of Termination or Breach.
 
If the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated (a) this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of this Section 10.2 and the provisions of Section 7.7, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement; and (b) Purchasers shall not be entitled to any damages, losses, or payment from Seller, and Seller shall have no further obligation of Liability of any kind to either of the Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates on account of this Agreement.

A party may change the address to which notices hereunder are to be sent to it by giving notice to the other parties to this Agreement of such change of address in the manner provided above.
 
11.3           Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and personal representatives (including any liquidating trustee, responsible Person or similar representative for Seller or Seller’s estate appointed in connection with the Bankruptcy Case).
 
11.4           Entire Agreement; Modification; Waiver.  This Agreement and the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement (which are hereby incorporated herein by this reference), together with the Konami-Saban License Agreement, set forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous written and oral negotiations, discussions, understandings and agreements pertaining to such subject matter.  For greater clarity, upon Closing, the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2012, between Seller and the Saban Purchaser (the “Original APA”) shall become null and void; provided if no Closing occurs hereunder, the Auction may be resumed at such time as the Seller may elect as though it had not been adjourned and the Saban Purchaser and the Konami Purchaser shall have the rights and obligations each had immediately prior to the adjournment, including, without limitation, each Purchaser’s committed bid prior to the adjournment of the Auction and the Saban Purchaser’s status as the Stalking Horse Bidder with the right to receive payment for expense reimbursement and a breakup fee in accordance with the terms of the Original APA (notwithstanding the cutoff date set forth in the Original APA).  No supplement, modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by all of the parties.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, any waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.  No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver.
 
11.5           Dispute Resolution; Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction.
 
(a) Purchasers and Seller agree that the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach hereof.
 
(b) In the event the Bankruptcy Court reserves jurisdiction to consider disputes arising under this Agreement post-confirmation, then all such disputes shall be brought before the Bankruptcy Court.  The parties shall jointly request that the Bankruptcy Court reserve such jurisdiction.
 
 
 

 
(c) In the event the Bankruptcy Court does not reserve such jurisdiction, then, subject to the right of each party to seek specific performance, injunctive relief and/or other non-monetary relief in any court, any controversy, dispute or claim arising between Seller and either Purchaser with respect to this Agreement or the subject matter covered hereby may be submitted to any of the state or federal courts located in the State of New York.  Seller and Purchasers hereby consent and submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of New York for any such controversy, dispute or claim.
 
11.6           Expenses.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the parties shall pay all costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by it in negotiating and preparing this Agreement and all Collateral Agreements and in closing and carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Collateral Agreements.  The Saban Purchaser hereby waives all of its rights under Section 10.2 of the Original APA.
 
11.7 Construction.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
 
11.8 Assignment.  No party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that each Purchaser may (i) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates hereunder, and (ii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, that in any such case, such Purchaser shall remain liable for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder.
 
11.9 Relationship.  The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement.  This Agreement does not create any agency, partnership, joint venture or trust.
 
11.10 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by facsimile signatures), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.
 
11.11 Severability.  If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable at Law, that provision will be reformed as a valid provision to reflect as closely as possible the original provision giving maximum effect to the intent of the parties, or if that cannot be done, will be severed from the Agreement without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.
 
11.12 Interpretation.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including,” when used herein, shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
