(a) Seller and Buyer recognize that the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have joined with Seller in filing unitary, consolidated, or combined income Tax Returns.

Seller shall be entitled to all Tax refunds (including interest), Tax deductions and Tax deduction carryforwards attributable to the taxable periods in respect of which Seller is so obligated to indemnify Buyer, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries.

All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocation shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. Any changes after the Closing Date in the ownership of property upon which any such Tax or Taxes are assessed shall not be taken into account for purposes of applying this Section 6.3(j).

As soon as practicable after the Closing, with respect to each Election, Seller and Buyer shall mutually prepare a Form 8023, with all attachments and shall cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate (including filing additional forms, returns, elections, schedules, and other necessary documents as may be required to effect and preserve timely Elections in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any comparable provisions of state or local tax law) or any successor provisions).

(m) Buyer shall have the right to examine the workpapers of the accountants and other personnel preparing the Allocation Statement and the books and records of Seller relating to the Allocation Statement.

In the event Buyer delivers timely written notice to Seller, Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute within fifteen (15) calendar days after Seller’s receipt of such notice. If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within such period, at the election of any party, an accounting firm (which shall be neither the auditor of

Buyer nor of Seller) shall be engaged by Seller and Buyer to resolve such dispute as soon as reasonably practicable. The parties both acknowledge that the preferred accounting firm is Deloitte and Touche LLP, and that Deloitte and Touche LLP shall be engaged in this role provided it is willing to agree to meet the applicable deadlines and to perform the engagement on commercially reasonable terms. In the event Deloitte & Touche LLP is unavailable to perform the engagement for any reason, the parties shall choose a different accounting firm by mutual agreement.

(n) Promptly, but not later than fifteen (15) days after its acceptance of engagement hereunder, the accounting firm will determine, based solely on the information submitted and/or presentations made by Buyer and Seller and not by independent review, only those matters in dispute, and will render a written report as to the disputed matters and the final Allocation Statement, which shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

The costs of any applicable accounting firm shall be shared equally by Seller and Buyer.

(o) Buyer and Seller each hereby covenant and agree to file their respective federal and state income Tax Returns, reports and forms, including IRS Form 8883, in a manner consistent with the Allocation Statement, as agreed to by the Parties, or, if applicable, as finally determined by the accounting firm.

(d) Seller on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, may terminate this Agreement if the Transactions are not consummated on or before the Expiration Date, but only if the failure to consummate the Transactions on or before such date did not result from the Breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein of the Party or Parties seeking such termination; or

(e) Seller on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, may terminate this Agreement if the other Party or Parties shall be in material Breach of any of its or their covenants contained in this Agreement and such Breach is either incapable of cure or is not cured within twenty (20) Business Days after notice from the Party or Parties wishing to terminate; provided that the Party or Parties seeking such termination shall not also then be in material Breach of this Agreement; or

9.4 Indemnification Claim Procedures.

(a) If any third party notifies any Indemnified Party with respect to the commencement of any Action that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any Indemnitor under this ARTICLE 9 (an “Indemnification Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will promptly give notice to the Indemnitor. Failure to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the defense of such Action is materially and irrevocably prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) An Indemnitor will have the right to defend against an Indemnification Claim, with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party if (i) within ten (10) days following the receipt of notice of the Indemnification Claim the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, relating to, arising out of, or attributable to the Indemnification Claim, (ii) the Indemnitor provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Indemnification Claim and pay, in cash, all Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, relating to, arising out of, or attributable to the Indemnification Claim, (iii) the Indemnification Claim involves only money Damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Indemnification Claim is not in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnitor continuously conducts the defense of the Indemnification Claim actively and diligently. The Indemnitor will be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnitor has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party will have failed to give notice of the Indemnification Claim as provided above).

(c) So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Indemnification Claim in accordance with Section 9.4(b), (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Indemnification Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any order with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the prior written Consent of the Indemnitor (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (iii) the Indemnitor will not Consent to the entry of any order with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the prior written Consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably provided that it will not be deemed to be unreasonable for an Indemnified Party to withhold its Consent (A) with respect to any finding of or admission (1) of

any Breach of any Law, order or Permit, (2) of any violation of the rights of any Person, or (3) which Indemnified Party believes could have a material adverse effect on any other Actions to which the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates are a party or to which Indemnified Party has a good faith belief it may become a party, or (B) if any portion of such order would not remain sealed).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an Indemnification Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary Damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnitor, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Indemnification Claim, but the Indemnitor will not be bound by any determination of any Indemnification Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its Consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

(e) Each Party hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Governmental Body, arbitrator, or mediator in which an Action is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any Indemnification Claim that an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein, and agrees that process may be served on such Party with respect to such claim anywhere in the world.

9.5 Limitations on Indemnification Liability.

(a) With Respect to Claims by the Seller Indemnified Parties. Except as set forth in Section 9.5(b), any claims the Seller Indemnified Parties make under this ARTICLE 9 will be limited as follows:

(i) Ceiling. Seller’s and Cardinal’s aggregate Liability for money Damages will not exceed an amount equal to 20% of the Purchase Price;

(ii) Basket. Neither Seller nor Cardinal will have any Liability for money Damages unless and until, and then only to the extent, the aggregate Damages claimed under Section 9.2 exceed an amount equal to 1% of the Purchase Price.

(b) Exceptions to Limitations. The following claims by the Seller Indemnified Parties for indemnification under this ARTICLE 9 shall not be limited by Section 9.5(a):

(i) claims arising out of Breaches of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1(a), (b) and (e), Sections 3.2(a) and (b) and Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.5, 4.11, 4.17(a), 4.18 and 4.19.

(ii) claims for actual (but not constructive) fraud;

(iii) claims arising under Section 6.3; and

(iv) claims arising under Sections 9.2(b), 9.2(c), 9.2(d), 9.2(e), 9.2(f), 9.2(g), or 9.2(h).

(c) Duplicative Payments. In no event shall Seller or Cardinal be required to make any payment for Damages to Agent or any other Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2(h) that is duplicative of any amount paid by Cardinal or Seller to any other Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2(h). For the purposes of clarity, the Parties agree that with respect to Indemnification Claims arising under Section 9.2(h), the Seller Indemnified Parties may each have incurred separate and different out of pocket expenses relating to the same Indemnification Claim and nothing herein shall preclude any Seller Indemnified Party from recovering the amount of such out of pocket expenses to the extent such amounts are separate and different and to the extent that such amounts would be otherwise recoverable hereunder.

(d) With Respect to Claims by any Indemnified Party. Any claims any Indemnified Party makes under this ARTICLE 9 will be limited as follows:

(i) Reduction for Insurance Claims. The amount of Damages required to be paid for Damages will be reduced to the extent of 75% of any amounts an Indemnified Party actually receives pursuant to the terms of the insurance policies (if any) covering such Indemnification Claims.

(ii) Reduction for Interest. In determining the amount of Damages payable, the Parties will take into account the time value of money using the Applicable Rate.

(iii) Exclusion of Certain Types of Damages. All indemnification obligations will be limited to actual Damages and will exclude incidental, consequential, lost profits, indirect punitive or exemplary Damages (except, and only to the extent, such amounts are actually awarded by a court in an Action brought by a third party and such Damages arise out of the conduct of the Seller Parties prior to Closing); provided however, the foregoing restriction on incidental, consequential, lost profits, indirect, punitive and exemplary Damages will not reduce a Person’s ability to assert Damages for diminution in value as an element of actual Damages, whether involving a direct claim against such Person or by a third party.

9.6 Indemnification As Exclusive Remedy.

In the event that the Closing occurs, the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE 9 will be the Parties’ exclusive remedy with respect to a Breach of this Agreement, other than claims for actual (but not constructive) fraud.

10.7 Time.

Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

10.8 Counterparts.

Neither any failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

10.12 Severability.

The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any Party or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a Governmental Body, arbitrator or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Parties agree that the Governmental Body, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign Law will be deemed also to refer to Law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any Party has Breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not Breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in Breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
