From the date hereof until the Closing, Parent and Seller shall, and shall cause each of their Affiliates to, (a) afford the other party and its Affiliates and their Representatives full and free access to and the right to inspect all of the Real Property, properties, assets, premises, books and records, Contracts and other documents and data related to their respective Businesses; (b) furnish the other party, its Affiliates and their Representatives with such financial, operating and other data and information related to their respective Businesses as such party their Affiliates or any of their Representatives may reasonably request; and (c) instruct their Representatives to cooperate with the other party and its Affiliates in their investigation of the Business of any party or its Affiliates. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of Seller, any Company or any Company Subsidiary. No investigation by either party or its Affiliates or other information received by them shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by such party in this Agreement.

Section 5.3. No Solicitation of Other Bids.

(a) Seller and Parent shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of their Affiliates or any of the Representatives of any of the foregoing to, directly or indirectly, (i) encourage, solicit, initiate, facilitate or continue inquiries regarding an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person concerning a possible Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into any agreements or other instruments (whether or not binding) regarding an Acquisition Proposal. Seller and Parent shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its Affiliates and all the Representatives of themselves and their Affiliates to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes hereof, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Seller, Buyer, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates) concerning (A) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization or other business combination transaction involving any of Parent, Parent Subsidiary, Company or Company Subsidiary; (B) the issuance or acquisition of membership interests in any Parent Subsidiary, Company or Company Subsidiary; or (C) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any significant portion of any properties or assets of any Parent Subsidiary, Company or Company Subsidiary.

(b) In addition to the other obligations under this Section 5.3, Seller and Parent shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days after receipt thereof by Seller or Parent or their Representatives) advise the other orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, any request for information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making the same.

(c) Seller and Parent agree that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 5.3 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury for which money damages would not provide an adequate remedy.

Section 5.4. Notice of Certain Events.

(a) From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller and Parent shall promptly notify the other party in writing of:

(i) any fact, circumstance, event or action the existence, occurrence or taking of which (A) has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (B) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, any representation or warranty made by Seller or Parent, respectively, hereunder not being true and correct or (C) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 to be satisfied;

(ii) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(iv) any Actions commenced or, to Seller’s Knowledge or Parent’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting Seller, Parent or any of their Affiliates that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to this Agreement or that relates to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Parent’s or Seller’s receipt of information pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by either of them in this Agreement (including Section 8.2 and Section 9.1(b)) and shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedules.

Section 5.5. Healthcare Approvals. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller and Parent each agree, and agree to cause all of their Subsidiaries to agree, to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all authorizations and any other exemptions, variances, waivers, and other authorizations of all Governmental Authorities under all Healthcare Laws and each reimbursement program or contract with Governmental Healthcare Programs in which any party or its Subsidiaries are a participant, which are necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (where required to be made or obtained prior to or after the Closing) (all of the foregoing, collectively “Healthcare Approvals”) and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such Healthcare Approvals. Seller and Parent shall each use all commercially reasonable efforts to, and to cause their respective officers, directors, managers, Subsidiaries and Affiliates to file within 15 Business Days after the date hereof, and in all events shall file within 15 Business Days after the date hereof, all required initial applications and documents in connection with obtaining the Healthcare Approvals and shall act reasonably and promptly thereafter in responding to additional requests in connection therewith. Parent and Seller shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable, each will consult with the other on, in each case subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to Seller, the Companies, any Company Subsidiary, or Parent, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, managers, stockholders or members, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Parent and Seller agree to promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Authority which causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Healthcare Approval required from such Governmental Authority will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed.

Nothing in Section 5.5 shall obligate Parent or Seller and their respective Subsidiaries to take any action which would require the voluntary surrender, forfeiture or other termination by them of a Healthcare Approval then held by any of them, if such Person determines in good faith that it is inadvisable to do so.

Section 5.6. Confidentiality.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the Companies and Subsidiaries, except to the extent that Seller can show that such information is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives. If Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

(b) From and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries), except to the extent that Parent can show that such information is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Parent, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives. If Parent or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, Parent shall promptly notify Seller in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Parent is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

Section 5.7. Non-competition; Non-solicitation.

(a) For a period of three years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Restricted Business in the Territory; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between any Company or Company Subsidiary and customers or suppliers of any Company or Company Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if Seller is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(b) During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any employee of any Company or Company Subsidiary or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.7(b) shall prevent Seller or any of its Affiliates from hiring (i) any employee whose employment has been terminated by a Company, Company Subsidiary or Parent or (ii) after 180 days from the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.

(c) During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, any clients or customers of any Company or Company Subsidiary or potential clients or customers of any Company or Company Subsidiary for purposes of diverting their business or services from the Company or Company Subsidiary.

(d) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its chief executive officer, president, chief operating officer, chief financial officer and general counsel (together the “Seller’s Officers”) to execute written agreements in favor of Parent effective on the Closing Date under which Seller’s Officers agree to non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions substantially similar to those agreed to by Seller in this Section 5.7.

(e) Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.7 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer and Parent, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Seller of any such obligations, Buyer and Parent shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(f) Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and Parent and constitute a material inducement to Buyer and Parent to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.7 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.7 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 5.8. Governmental Approvals and Consents.

(a) Each party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, (i) make, or cause or be made, all filings and submissions required under any Law applicable to such party or any of its Affiliates; and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. The parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals.

(b) Seller and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all consents from, all third parties that are described in Section 3.5 and Section 4.3 of the Disclosure Schedules.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the parties’ undertakings pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above, each of the parties hereto shall use all reasonable best efforts to:

(i) respond to any inquiries by any Governmental Authority regarding antitrust or other matters with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

(ii) avoid the imposition of any order or the taking of any action that would restrain, alter or enjoin the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document; and

(iii) in the event any Governmental Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document has been issued, to have such Governmental Order vacated or lifted.

(d) If any consent, approval or authorization necessary to preserve any right or benefit under any Contract to which any Company or Company Subsidiary is a party is not obtained prior to the Closing, Seller shall, subsequent to the Closing, cooperate with Buyer, Parent and the Company or Company Subsidiary in attempting to obtain such consent, approval or authorization as promptly thereafter as practicable. If such consent, approval or authorization cannot be obtained, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide the Company or Company Subsidiary with the rights and benefits of the affected Contract for the term thereof, and, if Seller provides such rights and benefits, the Company or Major Subsidiary shall assume all obligations and burdens thereunder.

(e) All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf of either party before any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions between Seller or the Companies with Governmental Authorities in the ordinary course of business, any disclosure which is not permitted by Law or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall be disclosed to the other party hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals. Each party shall give notice to the other party with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, with such notice being sufficient to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.8 shall require, or be construed to require, Buyer, Parent or any of their Affiliates to agree to (i) sell, hold, divest, discontinue or limit, before or after the Closing Date, any assets, businesses or interests of Buyer, Parent, the Companies or any of their respective Affiliates; (ii) any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the operations of any such assets, businesses or interests which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or materially and adversely impact the economic or business benefits to Buyer and Parent of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) any material modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 5.9. Books and Records.

(a) In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by Seller prior to the Closing, or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of two years after the Closing, Buyer and Parent shall:

(ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of Seller reasonable access (including the right to make, at Seller’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records;

provided, however, that any books and records related to Tax matters shall be retained pursuant to the periods set forth in Article VI.

(ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of Buyer, Parent or any Company reasonable access (including the right to make, at Buyer’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records;

provided, however, that any books and records related to Tax matters shall be retained pursuant to the periods set forth in Article VI.

(c) None of Buyer, Parent or Seller shall be obligated to provide the other party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 5.9 where such access would violate any Law.

Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement.

Section 5.12. Directors. At or prior to the Closing, the Parent’s Board of Directors shall take all necessary action to cause the size of the Parent Board of Directors to be fixed at no more than seven directors, and concurrent with the Closing, appoint Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and a director designated by the Seller who shall be independent from the Parent as determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC which shall be acceptable to the Parent’s Board of Directors, to serve as members of Parent’s board of directors, until the Annual Meeting of Parent following the Closing at which their term of office expires, at which time they shall be eligible for nomination for additional terms in accordance with the customary procedures of the nominating committee of the Parent Board of Directors. The provisions of this Section 5.12 are in addition to any rights that Seller may have as a holder or beneficial owner of Parent Securities as a matter of Law with respect to the election of directors or otherwise.

Seller represents and warrants that the information so supplied, as it may be revised from time to time by Seller, will not contain any statement that, as of the time the Proxy Statement is distributed and in light of the circumstances under which it is made, is false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or that omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not false or misleading.

Such cooperation will include (a) reasonable access to officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives of Seller and the Companies who were responsible for preparing or maintaining the financial records and work papers and other supporting documents used in the preparation of such financial statements as may be required by the Auditor to perform an audit or conduct a review in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or to otherwise verify such financial statements and (b) delivery of one or more customary representation letters from Seller or any Company to the Auditor that are reasonably requested to allow such auditors to complete an audit (or review of any financial statements), and to issue an opinion acceptable to the Auditor with respect to an audit or review of those financial records required pursuant to this Section 5.14.

ARTICLE VI

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.1. Tax Covenants.

(a) Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that each Company has been a disregarded entity for income tax purposes and therefore that the transfer of the Membership Interests in exchange for the Parent Common Shares, the Parent Preferred Shares and the Parent Warrant will be treated as a taxable asset sale by the Seller. Buyer and the Seller shall mutually agree upon a statement (the “Allocation Statement”) setting forth the value of the Membership Interests, which shall be used for the allocation of the Purchase Price (together with the Liabilities) among the assets of each of Company (the “Purchased Assets”) within 30 days after the Closing. Buyer and Seller agree to report an allocation of such Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in a manner entirely consistent with the Allocation Statement and agree to act in accordance with such Allocation Statement in the preparation of financial statements and filing of all Tax Returns (including, without limitation, filing Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 with its federal income tax return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date) and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax litigation matter relating hereto. If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree on such allocation, Seller and Buyer agree to retain a nationally recognized appraisal firm experienced in valuing businesses similar to the Companies’ businesses to appraise the Purchased Assets. The appraisal firm shall perform such appraisal promptly. Seller and Buyer shall each pay one-half of the costs of such appraisal.

(b) Without the prior written consent of Buyer, Seller (and, prior to the Closing, each Company, their Affiliates and their respective Representatives) shall not, to the extent it may affect, or relate to, any Company, make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction not in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Buyer or a Company. Seller agrees that Buyer is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of Seller, any Company, their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives taken prior to Closing, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer (and, after the Closing Date, each Company) against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset.

(c) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne equally by Parent and Seller. Parent shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Seller shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(d) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate in providing information to Buyer and Parent in order to determine what consents may be necessary to (i) enable Buyer or Parent to make any tax elections determined to be necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation elections under Section 754 of the Code and (ii) permit the transfers of the interests in each Company and each Company Subsidiary under their respective operating agreements.

Section 6.2. Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon either Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date, none of Companies, Seller, any of Seller’s Affiliates or their respective Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

Section 6.3. Tax Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify each Company, Buyer, and each Buyer Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against (a) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 3.25; (b) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VI; (c) all Taxes of the Seller or any Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (d) all Taxes required to be paid or withheld by the Seller or any Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (e) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state or local Law; and (f) any and all Taxes of any person imposed on a Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date, in each of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any Taxes of a Company that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to this Section 6.3 within ten Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Buyer or the Company.

Parent shall indemnify Seller and each Seller Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against (i) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 4.11, and (ii) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VI, in each case, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith.

Section 6.4. Contests. Parent and Buyer agree to give written notice to Seller of the receipt of any written notice by either Company, Buyer, Parent or any Affiliates of Buyer or Parent which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Buyer pursuant to this Article VI (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Buyer’s right to indemnification hereunder except and only to the extent that the such failure results in the forfeit of rights or defenses of Seller. Buyer shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Buyer shall obtain the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided further, that Seller shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Seller. Seller agrees to give written notice to Parent of the receipt of any written notice by Seller or any Affiliates of Seller which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Seller pursuant to this Article VI; provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Seller’s right to indemnification hereunder except and only to the extent that the such failure results in the forfeit of rights or defenses of Seller.

Section 6.5. Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Seller and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article VI or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of either Company. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of Seller and Buyer shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of a Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Seller or Buyer (as the case may be) shall provide the other party with reasonable written notice and offer the other party the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

Section 6.6. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article VI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 6.7. Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.25, Section 4.11 and this Article VI shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days.

Section 6.8. Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article VIII may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Article VI, the provisions of this Article VI shall govern.

ARTICLE VII

Section 8.4. Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 3.1, Section 3.3, Section 3.4, Section 3.22, Section 3.23, Section 3.25 and Section 3.27 (the “Buyer Basket Exclusions”)), until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.2(a) (other than those based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Buyer Basket Exclusions) exceeds $50,000, in which event Seller shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.

(b) Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.3(a) (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 4.1, Section 4.5, Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.19 and Section 4.20 (the “Seller Basket Exclusions”)) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.3(a) (other than those based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Seller Basket Exclusions) exceeds $50,000, in which event Buyer shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.

(c) For purposes of this Article VIII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

Section 8.5. Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action 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 reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. 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 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 8.5(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 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, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) 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, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.5(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 5.9) 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.

(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, except as provided in this Section 8.5(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 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 8.5(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).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action 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 reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. 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 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. 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 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.

(d) Cooperation. Upon a reasonable request by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

(e) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.25 and Section 4.11 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VI) shall be governed exclusively by Article VI hereof.

Section 8.6. Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 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 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 and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as reported by The Wall Street Journal. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 8.7. 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 8.8. Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, as the case may be.

Section 8.9. Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 5.7 and Section 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto 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, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI and this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, 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 Article VI and this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.9 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any Person’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

Section 8.10. Protection of Indemnity. The Seller, Parent and Buyer shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, take any action that is intended to or has the effect of diminishing the assets available to satisfy the indemnification claims or potential claims of the other parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.10 shall not preclude Seller from making any distribution of the Parent Securities to its members provided Seller has not received notice of a claim for indemnification under Article VIII or Article VI of this Agreement.
