The decision of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be made within thirty (30) days following submission of the dispute to the Accounting Arbitrator and shall be final and binding. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator, if any, shall be split between the Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders. The date (the “Determination Date”) on which Closing Date Net Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall be deemed to be the earliest of the following dates: (i) the date of expiration of the Objection Period if the Selling Shareholders have not delivered written notice of objection thereto prior to such date; (ii) the date of expiration of the Discussion Period if Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders have resolved all disputed amounts prior to such date; or (iii) the date on which the Accounting Arbitrator determines the disputed amounts.

(b) In the event that the Target Net Working Capital exceeds the Closing Date Net Working Capital (such excess being the “Net Negative Working Capital Payment”), then the Selling Shareholders shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the Net Negative Working Capital Payment.

(c) In the event that the Closing Date Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital (such excess being the “Net Positive Working Capital Payment”), then Purchaser shall pay to the Shareholder’s Representative an amount equal to the Net Positive Working Capital Payment, and the Shareholder’s Representative shall pay each of the Selling Shareholders his or her share of the Net Positive Working Capital Payment, on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the ratios described in Section 2.2(a)).

From and after the Closing Date, each party hereto and their respective Representatives shall have reasonable access to inspect and copy all books and records relating to the Company that the other parties hereto or their respective Representatives may retain after the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by the party maintaining such records upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Nothing contained in this Section 8.3 shall require Purchaser or the Company to retain any books or records longer than such books or records would otherwise have been retained in the ordinary course of business but for the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however, that if the party maintaining such records shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records, such party shall, prior to such disposition, give the other party hereto a reasonable opportunity, at such other party’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as such other party may select.

8.4 Reserved.

8.5 Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders for certain tax matters following the Closing Date:

(a) The Selling Shareholders shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Income Tax Returns for the Company (including, without limitation, IRS Form 1120S and Schedules K-1) for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns”). Purchaser shall be entitled to review

such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns prior to filing and shall be entitled to comment on and request reasonable changes consistent with applicable law and regulations to any items on such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns that could affect any material Tax liability of the Purchaser for periods ending after the Closing Date. The Selling Shareholders shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax items for such periods on any Tax Return in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-1s prepared in connection with the Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns.

(b) The Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns of the Company required to be filed after the Closing Date other than the Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns (the “Post Closing Period Tax Returns”). The Selling Shareholders shall be entitled to review such Post-Closing Period Tax Returns prior to filing and shall be entitled to comment on and request reasonable changes consistent with applicable law and regulations to any items on such Post-Closing Period Tax Returns that could affect any material Tax liability of the Selling Shareholders for periods ending prior to or as of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall prepare and file all Tax Returns for any period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (the “Straddle Period Tax Returns”). For purposes of preparing the Straddle Period Tax Returns, the Purchaser shall apportion any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and that are payable for a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date, as between the portion of such taxable period beginning prior to and ending as of the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and the period beginning the day after the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Tax Period”). In preparing the Straddle Period Tax Returns, the portion of such Tax based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company attributed to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and the amount of other Taxes shall be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Selling Shareholders shall be liable for Taxes imposed on the Company for any taxable year that ends on or prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, for all Taxes attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that the Selling Shareholders shall be liable only to the extent that such Taxes exceed the amount, if any, reserved for such Taxes on the Closing Date Balance Sheet or any amounts otherwise included as a current Tax liability for purposes of the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital.

(d) Purchaser, the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company, the Selling Shareholders and Purchaser agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to

the extent notified by Purchaser or the Selling Shareholders, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Company, the Purchaser or the Selling Shareholders, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(e) Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(f) Any refunds, credits, or other reductions or benefits with respect to Taxes for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Selling Shareholders and, upon Purchaser’s receipt or effective realization of any such Tax-related benefits, the Purchaser shall notify the Selling Shareholders of such benefits and, if and as necessary, make prompt payment to the Selling Shareholders in respect of such Tax-related benefits. All other refunds, credits or other reductions or benefits with respect to Taxes shall be for the benefit of the Company.

(g) The Shareholders’ Representative acting on behalf of the Selling Shareholders and the Company with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and in conjunction with counsel selected by the Shareholders’ Representative and jointly with the Purchaser and its counsel and/or tax accountants as to, and in, every action taken, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain a certificate, letter, or other written document from a duly authorized representative of the IRS (beyond the written documentation that has previously been obtained by the Shareholders’ Representative) that further confirms the validity of the Company’s Subchapter S election from and after March 5, 1992 through the Closing Date, in a manner that is acceptable to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion after consultation with its auditors. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the parties agree that such commercially reasonable efforts shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, (1) attempting to provide further documentation to support the fact that all taxable income of the Company for its S corporation years was reported by the Selling Shareholders for such years, (2) engaging in additional communications with the IRS Service Center in Ogden, Utah, and (3) inquiring with the IRS as to whether issuing a private letter ruling on any aspect of the matter that would further confirm the Subchapter S status of the Company and, if possible, taking steps necessary to obtain such a private letter ruling from the IRS. Counsel and/or tax accountants of the Purchaser shall participate in any and all oral or written communications with the IRS. The parties further agree that this Section 8.5(g) shall not operate so as to be duplicative with some other provision of this Agreement (including Sections 8.5(d) and (e) above), and that if after the commercially reasonable efforts contemplated by this Section 8.5(g) the Shareholders’ Representative is unable to obtain an additional certificate, letter, or other written document from the IRS (beyond the written documentation that has already been obtained by the Shareholders’ Representative) that the Shareholders’ Representative and the Selling Shareholders and the Company with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods shall be considered to have satisfied their obligations under this Section 8.5(g); provided, however, that any and all representations and warranties and Section 10.2(a) indemnity obligations under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any and all efforts undertaken by the Shareholders’ Representative and counsel selected by him under this Section 8.5(g) shall be at the expense of the Shareholders’ Representative.

8.6 Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(a) The Selling Shareholders shall join with Purchaser in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and under any applicable similar provisions of state law (collectively, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the purchase of the Purchased Stock. Each Selling Shareholder will include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax item resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election on their respective Tax Returns in accordance with applicable law. Selling Shareholders and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Company’s assets in a manner substantially consistent with the fair market values and methodology as set forth in Exhibit F. In addition to the executed Form 8023 delivered to Purchaser at Closing pursuant to Section 4.2(d)(xviii), the Selling Shareholders shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser and timely execute any additional Section 338(h)(10) Forms prepared by Purchaser and delivered to the Selling Shareholders after the Closing. The Purchaser shall be responsible for the timely preparation and filing of the Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the cost of preparing and filing the Section 338(h)(10) Election and any related Section 338 Forms (including any subsequent amendments or modifications that may be required as a result of any adjustments to the Purchase Price under Section 2.2 or otherwise). With respect to any additional Section 338 Forms that are delivered to the Selling Shareholders for execution after the Closing, the Selling Shareholders shall be entitled to a reasonable period in which to review such Section 338(h)(10) Election and related Section 338 Forms prior to filing (such period being in all events no less than 60 days prior to the applicable due date) and shall be entitled to comment on and request reasonable changes to any items on such Section 338(h)(10) Election and related Section 338 Forms that could affect any material item of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or other material Tax attribute of the Company or the Selling Shareholders. “Section 338 Forms” shall mean all returns, documents, statements, and other forms that are required to be submitted to any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority in connection with a Section 338(h)(10) Election, including, without limitation, an IRS Form 8023 (together with any schedules or attachments thereto) that are required pursuant to applicable Treasury Regulations.

(b) Reserved.

(c) In connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Election and the preparation of any applicable Section 338 Forms, and as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date (and in no event later than 60 days after the Closing Date), the parties will allocate the Purchase Price paid to the Selling Shareholders among the assets of the Company according to an allocation that is mutually agreeable to the parties and that is consistent with applicable law (including applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 338 of the Code). The Purchaser shall use such allocation in preparing the Section 338(h)(10) Election and applicable Section 338 Forms. The mutually agreed allocation shall be subsequently amended or modified as may be required as a result of any adjustments to the Purchase Price under Section 2.2 or otherwise. Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders

also agree to file all applicable Tax Returns consistent with the mutually agreed allocation and shall not make any inconsistent written statements in any Tax work papers or take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return, in any refund claim, during the course of any IRS audit or other Tax audit, for any financial or regulatory purpose, in any litigation, investigation or otherwise. Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders shall notify each other if a notice is received from the IRS (or other taxing authority or other Governmental Body) proposing an allocation different than the mutually agreed allocation. Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders shall cooperate fully in connection with the appropriate tax reporting and tax characterization of any Additional Purchase Price Amounts payable under Section 2.2, including, but not limited to, specifically allocating any such payments when made to Company’s Class VII assets (goodwill and going-concern value) in accordance with the mutually agreed allocation, and imputing an appropriate amount of interest in connection with any such payments under sections 483 and 1274 or other applicable provisions of the Code or similar provisions of state and local law.

8.7 Insurance; Errors and Omission Tail.

(a) The Principal Shareholders, at the Principal Shareholders’ sole cost and expense, have acquired the insurance policy attached hereto as Schedule 8.7.

8.8 Employment and Benefit Plans.

(a) Purchaser agrees that each Key Employee and Managing Director of the Company who continues employment with the Company after the Closing Date shall be employed at the same rate of salary provided immediately prior to the Closing Date and shall be considered for a reasonable salary increase in the normal course of business on or about July 1, 2009. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Section, Continuing Employees shall be eligible for benefits and incentive programs comparable to those made available by Purchaser to similarly situated employees of Purchaser, at a cost and on terms and conditions comparable to those provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser; provided, however, that continuance on a transitional basis of the Company’s existing medical, dental, vision and Code Section 125 plans at the same cost and in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans in effect as of Closing shall not be deemed to violate the terms of this Section. Nothing in this Agreement (i) shall require Purchaser or the Company to continue to employ any particular Company Employee following the Closing Date, or (ii) except as specifically provided otherwise herein, shall alter or limit Purchaser’s ability to amend, modify, or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement.

(b) Immediately prior to Closing, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to each employee of the Company all vacation leave that has been accrued and unused by such employees as of the Closing Date. On and after the Closing Date, Continuing Employees shall accrue paid time off under the terms and conditions of Purchaser’s paid time off program (as the same may be modified from time to time); provided, however, that for the portion of the calendar year 2009 on and after the Closing, in no event shall any Continuing Employee receive fewer days of paid time off (on an annualized basis) under such program than the number of days of paid time off such individual would have been entitled to under the Company’s vacation pay program as in effect immediately prior to Closing. In addition, for the portion of calendar year 2009 on and after the Closing, the Company shall maintain seven (7) paid holidays, the identity of which shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall transfer and assign plan sponsorship of the Profit Sharing Plan to Praesideo Management, LLC. Contemporaneous with such transfer and assignment of plan sponsorship of the Profit Sharing Plan, the Company shall also (i) resign as plan administrator of the Profit Sharing Plan and (ii) terminate itself as a party from any and all contracts, agreements, programs or arrangements with Rocky Mountain Employee Benefits, Inc. or any other person relating to services being performed with respect to the Profit Sharing Plan (each a “Retirement Plan Service Contract”). The Selling Shareholders shall cause Praesideo Management LLC to accept its position as both successor plan sponsor and successor plan administrator of the Profit Sharing Plan and become the successor party to each Retirement Plan Service Contract. The Selling Shareholders shall also cause Praesideo Management LLC to accept all Liabilities from the Company with respect to the Company’s participation in, sponsorship of, and relationship to the Profit Sharing Plan. Prior to Closing, the Selling Shareholders shall present to Purchaser acceptable evidence that Praesideo Management LLC has accepted all duties and obligations associated with being successor plan sponsor and successor plan administrator of the Profit Sharing Plan and successor to each Retirement Plan Service Contract and that it has assumed all of the Company’s Liabilities relating to the Profit Sharing Plan.

8.9 Praesideo Software Licenses: With respect to the Praesideo Software, the representations and warranties of Selling Shareholders under Section 5.9 hereof shall be true and correct as of the License Effective Date. On the License Effective Date, the Selling Shareholders shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate dated as of the License Effective Date and signed by the Selling shareholders certifying the representations and warranties in this Section 8.9.

8.10 Key Company Employees’ Retention Agreements. Promptly following Closing, the Principal Shareholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Key Company Employees’ Retention Agreements executed by the Key Company Employees, to the Purchaser.

Section 9. Shareholders’ Representative.

9.1 Appointment. By their execution of this Agreement and the tendering of their share certificates, each Selling Shareholder irrevocably appoints Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx as its exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act on its behalf with respect to any and all matters, claims, controversies, or disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions (the “Shareholders’ Representative”), and agrees that the Shareholders’ Representative shall have the power to take any and all actions that the Shareholders’ Representative believes to be necessary or appropriate or in the best interests of the Selling Shareholders, as fully as if each such Selling Shareholder were acting on its own behalf, including defending all indemnification claims, consenting to, compromising or settling all indemnification claims, negotiating with the Purchaser Parties with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, accepting notices on behalf of all Selling Shareholders, and taking any and all other actions specified in or contemplated by this Agreement.

9.2 Vacancy. In the event that the Shareholders’ Representative resigns from such position, the Selling Shareholders shall select another representative reasonably satisfactory to fill such vacancy and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Shareholders’ Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.

9.3 Reliance. The Purchaser Parties shall have the right to rely on any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Shareholders’ Representative as being the acts or omissions of the Selling Shareholders, without the need for any inquiry, and any such actions or omissions shall be binding upon all of the Selling Shareholders.

9.4 Liability. The Selling Shareholders agree to hold the Shareholders’ Representative free and harmless from and indemnify the Shareholders’ Representative against any and all Damages which the Shareholders’ Representative may sustain as a result of any action taken in good faith under this Agreement as the Shareholders’ Representative determines in the Shareholders’ Representative’s sole and absolute discretion to be reasonably necessary to carry out the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement. The Shareholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Selling Shareholder with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to this appointment or in connection with this Agreement unless such action or omission results from or arises out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation on the part of the Shareholders’ Representative.

9.5 Authority. The authority granted to the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 9 is independent and severable, is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Selling Shareholder may have in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 10. Indemnification and Related Matters.

10.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10 and notwithstanding any investigation conducted or knowledge acquired at any time with regard thereto by or on behalf of Purchaser, the representations, warranties and covenants and agreements of the Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders set forth in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.2 (Capitalization and Voting Rights), Section 6.2 (Authorization), Section 6.6 (Title to Stock), and Section 7.2 (Authorization) (collectively, the “Core Representations”) shall survive indefinitely, and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.8 (Intellectual Property), 5.14 (Taxes), 5.16 (Environmental), and 5.20 (Employee Benefits) shall survive until 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the expiration of any representations or warranty, written notice of an alleged breach giving rise to a claim for indemnification is duly delivered by an Indemnified Party to an Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 10.5, or an action based upon an alleged breach is commenced against an Indemnifying Party by an Indemnified Party, then no such Indemnified Party shall be precluded from pursuing such alleged breach, or from recovering from any Indemnifying Party (whether through the courts or otherwise) on the specific claim, suit or action, by reason or such expiration otherwise provided for above until resolution of the matter in accordance with this Agreement. This Section 10.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties hereto that by its terms contemplates performance after the execution hereof.

10.2 Indemnification. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.3 below, and subject to Section 10.4 below:

(a) The Selling Shareholders shall, severally and not jointly, except as described in Section 10.2(b), hold harmless and indemnify Purchaser and its successors (individually referred to herein as a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”), and will reimburse a Purchaser Indemnified Party for, from and against any and all Damages incurred or suffered by a Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of, arising from or in connection with:

(i) Any Breach by such Selling Shareholders of any representations or warranties made by such Selling Shareholder of this Agreement;

(ii) Any Breach of any covenants or obligations made by such Selling Shareholder in this Agreement;

(iv) Any liability or obligation with respect to stock appreciation, phantom stock, profit participation or similar rights granted by Selling Shareholders or the Company prior to Closing and any liability or obligation relating to the Strata Litigation (as defined in Schedule 5.7), any remaining claims of the Strata Parties (as defined in Schedule 5.7) or any liability or obligations arising from or relating to Xxxxxxx Capital LLC v. X.X. Xxxxx & Co., Inc. (as listed in Scheduled 5.7);

(v) any losses, expenses, penalties, liabilities or obligations with respect to (1) any failure of the Company to have been a validly electing “S corporation” within the meaning of sections 1361 and 1362 of the Code at all times between March 5, 1992 and the Closing Date, and (2)_ Taxes of the Company for or relating to periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before Closing, in each case to the extent the amount of the Taxes is not taken into consideration in the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, and (3) any tax withholding liabilities of any nature, or failure to pay taxes for affiliated entities using the X.X. Xxxxx name. For the avoidance of doubt, the losses, expenses, penalties, liabilities and obligations for which the Selling Shareholders are providing indemnification under this Section 10.2(a)(v) shall include (without limitation) those arising from, or relating in any way to, the Purchaser’s obligation to pay additional Taxes as a result of the Company’s failure to have a validly electing “S corporation” as described above, and any loss of a step-up basis and the benefits of increased amortization or depreciation associated therewith and any potential loss of Section 338(h)(10) tax benefits or accounting benefits;

(vi) Any liability or obligation arising from actions or inactions, at any time, whether arising before or after Closing, (A) under any Profit Sharing Plan of the Company, including but not limited to the X.X. Xxxxx & Co., Inc. Profit Sharing Plan or any predecessor plan thereof; and (B) under the Company Code Section 125 cafeteria plan;

(vii) Any liability or obligation or losses or costs, including but not limited to any diminution in value that is finally determined by a final non-appealable court order, or other costs or damages to Purchaser, arising out of, caused by or resulting from the Principal Shareholders’ transfer of Company stock to the Managing Directors, whether arising before or after Closing and including but not limited to any noncompliance with federal or state securities laws and any losses or costs as a result of the exercise of any recession rights against the Company under such federal or state securities laws; and

(viii) Any third party claim that is based upon, related to, or arising out of any agreements, transactions, acts, or omissions of or relating to the Company and/or its operation occurring or existing at or prior to the Closing, regardless of whether the event or matter giving rise to such claim is disclosed in the schedules hereto, including but not limited to any liability or obligation relating to the Global Vault funds and any allegations of infringement of Intellectual Property rights by any third party relating to the period prior to Closing; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.2(a)(viii) shall require any of the Selling Shareholders to hold harmless, indemnify or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to (x) any obligation or payment that is or may become due under any Contract listed on the exhibits or schedules attached hereto, pursuant to the terms thereof (other than with respect to any pre-Closing breach thereof by the Company), (y) any Liability specified in the Interim Financial Statements, and (z) any trade and similar payables incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of the Interim Financial Statements.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.3 below, with respect to any claim made by a Purchaser Indemnified Party against a Principal Shareholder pursuant to Section 10.2(a), the Principal Shareholders shall be jointly and severally liable for such indemnification obligation.

(c) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.3 below, the Purchaser Parties shall hold harmless and indemnify the Selling Shareholders and their respective executors, administrators and successors (individually referred to herein as a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result of, arising from or in connection with:

(i) Any Breach by Purchaser of any representations and warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement; or

(ii) Any Breach of any of the covenants or obligations made by Purchaser in this Agreement.

10.3 Limitations; Right of Offset; Deductible.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 10.3, the Selling Shareholders’ aggregate liability under Section 10.2(a)(i), (iii) and (viii) and the Purchaser’s liability under Section 10.2(c)(i) shall be limited to Damages not exceeding Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($12,500,000); provided, however, that with respect to Breaches of Section 5.14 (Taxes), Section 5.20 (Employee Benefits) and Section 6.6 (Title), and indemnification claims pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iv), Section 10.2(a)(v), Section 10.2(a)(vi) and Section 10.2(a)(vii), the Principal Shareholders’ liability shall not be capped; and provided further, with respect to the Core Representations (other than Section 6.6 (Title), Section 5.11(b) (GAAP Compliance) and Section 5.16 (Environmental), the Selling Shareholders’ aggregate maximum liability shall be limited to Damages not exceeding their pro rata share of the Purchase Price. In addition, except as set forth in this Section 10.3, the Principal Shareholders’ aggregate liability under Section 10.2 shall be limited to their collective portion of the Purchase Price actually received by the Selling Shareholders.

(b) If any Purchaser Indemnified Party has delivered a valid Claim Notice to Principal Shareholders and such claim has not been fully resolved prior to the time scheduled for payment of any Earn-out Amount, Purchaser shall have the right, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, to withhold from the amount otherwise due with respect to such Earn-out Amount (on a proportionate basis as between the corresponding Incentive Bonus Pool Amount and Additional Purchase Price Amount) the amount or estimated amount of the Purchaser’s indemnifiable claim as set forth in the Claim Notice; provided, however, in the event that Purchaser withholds any amounts pursuant to this Section 10.3(b), any amounts disputed by the Selling Shareholders must be placed into escrow with a party reasonably approved by Selling Shareholders until any such dispute is finally resolved.

(c) Without limiting the effect of any of the other limitations set forth herein, neither Purchaser nor Selling Shareholders shall be entitled to any indemnification payment hereunder, except to the extent that the cumulative amount of the Damages actually incurred as a direct result of all Breaches of representations and warranties of the party seeking indemnification hereunder actually exceeds Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars $750,000 (the “Deductible Amount”); and such party seeking indemnification shall only be entitled to indemnification only with respect to the amount by which the cumulative amount of the Damages actually incurred as a direct result of all such Breaches of such representations, warranties and covenants actually exceeds the Deductible Amount; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification for the entire amount of any Damages resulting from breaches by the Selling Shareholders of any Core Representations, of Sections 5.11(a), 5.11(b), 5.14, 5.16 or 5.20 and of indemnification claims pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iii), 10.2(a)(iv), 10.2(a)(v), Section 10.2(a)(vi) or 10.2(a)(vii), or with respect to any intentional or fraudulent misrepresentation on the part of the Selling Shareholders.

(d) In the event Purchaser has a claim for Damages under one or more of the representations, warranties or covenants of this Agreement and also under its Section 10.2(a)(viii) indemnity covenant with respect to a single event, Purchaser agrees that it will not seek double recovery for its Damages relating to such single event. In addition, to the extent Purchaser has a claim for Damages under this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to diligently pursue all insurance remedies available, including without limitation, insurance available under the tail policy referred to in Section 8.7 above, prior to seeking any indemnification from the Selling Shareholders.

10.4 No Implied Representations. Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the parties hereto, and none of the Representatives of either party hereto, has made or is making any representations or warranties whatsoever, implied or otherwise, and neither party has relied or is relying on any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking, promise, forecast or other statement whatsoever, whether written or oral (from either party or its Representatives), other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

10.5 Indemnification Claims. If either party hereto (the “Claimant”) wishes to assert an indemnification claim against the other party hereto, the Claimant shall deliver to the other party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) setting forth:

(a) a description of the representation, warranty or covenant alleged to have been breached by such other party;

(b) to the extent known or reasonably ascertainable, a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the alleged breach of such representation, warranty or covenant; and

(c) to the extent known or reasonably ascertainable, a reasonably detailed description of, and a reasonable estimate, to the extent reasonably available, of the total amount of, the Damages actually incurred or expected to be incurred by the Claimant as a direct result of such alleged breach.

A claim for indemnification for any Matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by delivery of a Claim Notice satisfying the requirements of the preceding sentence.

Any Claim Notice that is delivered to the Selling Shareholders in contravention of the requirements set forth in this Section 10.5 shall not be deemed to have been “duly delivered” for purposes of Section 10.1; provided, however, that the failure to notify or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations pursuant to this Section 10, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result thereof; provided however, in no event will a claim be deemed to have been “duly delivered” if such failure is not cured prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period.

10.6 Defense of Third Party Actions.

(a) If either party hereto (the “Indemnified Party”) receives notice or otherwise obtains knowledge of any Matter or any threatened Matter that may give rise to an indemnification claim against the other party hereto (the “Indemnifying Party”), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice describing such Matter in reasonable detail, but failure to give timely notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such claim will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice, as described in Section 10.6(c) below.

(b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 10.6(a) is brought against an Indemnified Party and it gives notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, and to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Proceeding and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense by giving notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 20 days (the “Response Period”) of receipt of the Indemnified Party of such third-party action (and during such 20-day period the Indemnified Party shall provide all reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party). For the avoidance of doubt, the Principal Shareholders shall be entitled to assume the defense of any potential third-party claim that might potentially be brought in connection with the validity of the Company’s Subchapter S election (provided that the requirements of the preceding sentence and Section 8.5(g) are otherwise satisfied) at the Principal Shareholders’ cost and expense; provided, further, that Purchaser shall be entitled to fully participate in any such defense at its cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (i) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) the Indemnified Party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent, and any such settlement, compromise or consent must include, as an unconditional term, the giving by the Claimant or the plaintiff to such Indemnified Party (and its subsidiaries and affiliates) a release from all liability in respect of such indemnifiable Claim.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be payable by such Indemnified Party; and (ii) the rights of such Indemnified Party to be indemnified in respect of indemnifiable claims resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties shall not be adversely affected by its failure to give notice pursuant to the foregoing provisions unless, and, if so, only to the extent that, the other party is materially prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any assertion of liability by a third-party that results in an indemnifiable claim, the parties shall make available to each other all relevant information in their possession that is material to any such assertion. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of an indemnifiable claim, the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably defend such claim until it is fully and finally settled or otherwise resolved.

(d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of an Indemnified Party against any such indemnifiable claim within the Response Period, or the Indemnifying Party fails to reasonably defend such indemnifiable claim after assuming the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such indemnifiable claim on behalf, for the account, and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party, subject to provisions of this Section 10; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not, without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise such indemnifiable claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect of such indemnifiable claim unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes, as an unconditional term, the giving by the Claimant or the plaintiff to such Indemnified Party (and its subsidiaries and affiliates) a release from all liability in respect of such indemnifiable claim and does not involve any finding or admission of liability by the Indemnified Party.

10.7 Subrogation. To the extent that the Indemnifying Party makes or is required to make any indemnification payment to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Representatives may have against any other Person with respect to any Damages, circumstances or Matter to which such indemnification payment is directly or indirectly related. The Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party to use the name of the Indemnified Party and the names of the Indemnified Party’s representatives in any transaction or in any Proceeding or other matter involving any such rights or remedies in such manner as may be approved by the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

10.8 Exclusivity. The right of each party hereto to assert indemnification claims and receive indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 10 shall be exclusive (except with respect to any intentional or fraudulent misrepresentation regarding the subject matter of this Agreement) of or limit any other remedies available to such party.

10.9 Representation. After the Closing, it is possible that Holme Xxxxxxx & Xxxx, LLP will represent the Principal Shareholders in connection with any claims made pursuant to the Transaction Agreements. The Company hereby agrees that Holme Xxxxxxx & Xxxx, LLP may represent the Principal Shareholders in the future in connection with any claims that may be made pursuant to the Transaction Agreements. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and consents to this prospective waiver by the Company.

(ii) At the same time any Additional Purchase Price Amount is paid to the Selling Shareholders, the Incentive Bonus Pool Amount (net of any applicable Tax withholdings) shall be paid to applicable Managing Directors and the Key Company Employees pursuant to the Incentive Bonus Plan.

The Additional Purchase Price Amount shall be allocated and paid to the Selling Shareholders in the same relative proportions as payments made pursuant to Section 2.2(a).

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including this Exhibit C):

(a) if the Company, directly or indirectly, sells, exchanges or otherwise disposes of any material portion of its assets or liabilities, other than in the ordinary course of business (a “Material Disposition”), then the revenues associated with such assets, or the liabilities associated with such expenses, shall be disregarded for purposes of computing Revenues, Earn-out Amounts, Revenue Growth, Additional Purchase Price Amounts, Incentive Bonus Pool Amounts and all other computations made pursuant to this Exhibit C for the relevant partial or whole year or years following such sale, exchange or disposition during the Earn-out Term; and

(b) if the Company or Purchaser, directly or indirectly, purchases, exchanges or otherwise acquires any material assets or liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business (a “Material Acquisition”), then the revenues associated with such assets, or the liabilities associated with such expenses, shall be disregarded for purposes of computing Revenues, Earn-out Amounts, Revenue Growth, Additional Purchase Price Amounts, Incentive Bonus Pool Amounts and all other computations made pursuant to this Exhibit C for the relevant partial or whole year or years following such purchase, exchange or acquisition during the Earn-out Term.

(e) Audit and Financial Statements. For the purpose of determining the Earn-out Amount for each year during the Earn-out Term, the Company’s financial statements shall be audited in accordance with GAAP and adjusted as set forth in Section (b)(iv) of this Exhibit C, applied consistent with past practices of the Company (subject to adjustments for GAAP) by an independent certified public accounting firm of Purchaser’s and the Selling Shareholders’ joint selection. Within sixty (60) days after each of April 30, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, such accounting firm shall determine the Revenue, Revenue Growth, Profit, Profit Margin and Earn-out Amount with respect to such prior fiscal year from the results of each such audit and consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including this Exhibit C), and shall furnish the Principal Shareholders and Purchaser with a true, correct and complete copy of such audit and such determination. Each party agrees to cooperate in, and to provide all information necessary or reasonably requested by such accounting firm in connection with, the conduct of such audit.

In addition, the parties agree that the Selling Shareholders shall pay rent at fair market rates for any space utilized by them (other than in their capacities as employees or agents of the Company) or by any of their companies and Praesideo shall pay fees at fair market rates for the Company services utilized. Any dispute arising from or relating to any of the Earn-out Amounts shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement of which this Exhibit C is a part. Purchaser shall pay Additional Purchase Price Amounts that are due in accordance with this Exhibit C to the Selling Shareholders within thirty (30) days following the Purchaser’s receipt of the aforementioned audit and determination by the accounting firm, and Purchaser shall make payment of Additional Purchase Price Amounts by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such accounts as the Shareholder Representative shall direct.

(ii) Change of Control. If, on or prior to the end of the Earn-out Term, (A) a Change in Control occurs, and (B) the Company terminates Xxxxx’x employment without Cause or Xxxxx terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason, then the Purchaser shall pay the Selling Shareholders the Additional Purchase Price Amounts (not already paid) computed based upon the greater of the Adjusted Earn-out Payments Metrics and in accordance with the time frames set forth in Subsection (e) above and shall also pay the Managing Directors and the Key Company Employees the Incentive Bonus Pool Amounts computed using the Adjusted Earn-out Payments Metrics and in accordance with time frames set forth in Subsection (e) above.

(iii) Payments Upon Termination of Employment Without Cause or For Good Reason. If the Company terminates Xxxxx’x employment without Cause or Xxxxx terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason, then the Purchaser shall pay the Selling Shareholders the Additional Purchase Price Amounts (not already paid) computed based upon the greater of the Adjusted Earn-out Payments Metrics and in accordance with the time frames set forth in Subsection (e) above and shall also pay the Managing Directors and the Key Company Employees the Incentive Bonus Pool Amounts computed using the Adjusted Earn-out Payments Metrics and in accordance with the time frames set forth in Subsection (e) above.

(iv) Termination of Employment For Cause; Voluntary Termination. If the Company terminates Xxxxx’x employment for Cause or if Xxxxx voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company (without Good Reason), then the Earn-out Amounts will continue to be calculated and be payable in accordance with Subsections (d) and (e) of this Exhibit C.

(g) Certain Additional Covenants. The Principal Shareholders and the Purchaser covenant that, at all times during the Earn-out Term:

(i) Purchaser agrees that it will not dissolve, liquidate, cease, or wind-up the operations of the Company (and shall cause the Company not to be dissolved or liquidated or its business or affairs, in whole or in substantial part, ceased or wound-up); provided, however, that the Purchaser may merge or consolidate the Company in the event Xxxxx is no longer with the Company or for valid business reasons; provided, further, that any such merger or consolidation is subject to approval by Xxxxx, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;

(ii) Purchaser and the Principal Shareholders agree that they will act in good faith, with reasonable diligence and will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the overall financial and business objectives and requirements of the Company and Purchaser to facilitate the achievement of the earn-out; and

(A) to operate and price the Company’s services consistent with the Company’s past practices and the overall financial and business objectives and requirements of the Company and Purchaser or as consented to by Xxxxx, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; and
