2.1Purchase and Sale of Shares.

(a)Purchase and Sale. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall cause Seller Sub to, and Seller Sub shall, sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer all Shares free and clear of all Liens, and Buyer shall purchase such Shares from Seller Sub, for the Purchase Price.

(b)Payment of Consideration to Seller. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Estimated Purchase Price and other amounts as follows:

(i)to Seller Sub, an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Estimated Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Seller Sub in writing to Buyer at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(ii)to each holder of Indebtedness included in the Estimated Closing Debt Amount and identified in the Estimated Closing Statement, if any, the applicable amount of the Estimated Closing Debt Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or bank accounts as is designated by such holder in such holder’s Payoff Letter and set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement; and

(iii)to each payee of the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses identified in the Estimated Closing Statement, the applicable amount of the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or bank accounts as is designated by such payee and set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement.

2.3Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)Estimated Closing Statement. At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, and Seller shall cause the Company to, deliver to Buyer (i) an estimate of the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements and setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) based on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, setting forth in reasonable detail a good faith estimate of (A) the Closing Working Capital (such estimate, the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), (B) the Closing Debt Amount (the “Estimated Closing Debt Amount”), (C) the Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses”) and (D) the Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”). At the time of the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be calculated based upon the Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Estimated Closing Debt Amount, the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, and the Estimated Closing Cash Amount as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement (as so calculated, the “Estimated Purchase Price”).

(b)Closing Statement. Within 90 days following the Closing, Buyer shall (A) prepare a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement (the “Closing Statement” and, together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the “Closing Financial Data”) indicating Buyer’s calculation (based on the Closing Balance Sheet and consistent with the

-15-

definitions and terms set forth in this Agreement) of the Purchase Price Components and (B) deliver a copy of the Closing Financial Data to Seller. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements. Following such 90-day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Seller’s calculation of each Purchase Price Component as set forth in the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Statement except with respect to each individual Purchase Price Component that is expressly disputed during such period by Buyer in the Closing Financial Data and any undisputed Purchase Price Components shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive on Buyer.

(c)Disputes.

(i)After receipt of the Closing Financial Data, Seller shall have 45 days to review the Closing Financial Data. Buyer shall (i) provide the Seller and the authorized representatives of Seller copies of, or reasonable access during normal business hours to, all relevant financial information to the extent reasonably required to complete Seller’s review of the Closing Financial Data and (ii) cooperate with the reasonable requests of Seller and the authorized representatives of Seller with respect to the review of the Closing Financial Data, including by providing all information reasonably necessary in reviewing the Closing Financial Data. Unless Seller delivers a written dispute notice signed by Seller to Buyer on or prior to the 40th day after Seller’s receipt of the Closing Financial Data (a “Dispute Notice”) disputing the amounts set forth in the Closing Financial Data, then Seller shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to, as of the Closing, Buyer’s calculation of the Purchase Price Components, and such calculation shall be final, binding and conclusive on Seller.

(ii)If Seller timely delivers a Dispute Notice, Seller and Buyer shall, within ten Business Days (or such longer period as Buyer and Seller may agree in writing) following receipt of such notice (the “Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve their differences, and any resolution in writing signed by each of them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(iii)If, at the conclusion of the Resolution Period, there are any amounts remaining in dispute, then such amounts remaining in dispute may be submitted by Seller or Buyer for binding resolution to a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm (which firm shall be subject to the mutual approval of Buyer and Seller and may not be a firm that performs services for Buyer, Seller or their Affiliates) appointed by the mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Accountant”) within ten Business Days after the expiration of the Resolution Period. The Independent Accountant shall act as an arbitrator to determine whether the Purchase Price Components used in the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price that remain disputed following the Resolution Period (the “Disputed Components”) were not prepared in accordance with the definitions thereof. The Independent Accountant shall not have the authority to determine the accuracy of any Purchase Price Components other than the Disputed Components and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not have the authority to alter any Purchase Price Components in favor of a party if such Purchase Price Component has become final, binding and conclusive on such party pursuant to this Section 2.3. The Independent Accountant’s calculation of the Disputed Components shall be made within 20 Business Days of its selection, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Seller and Buyer and shall be final, binding and conclusive. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based on a percentage equal to (i) the portion of the total amounts disputed not awarded to each such party divided by (ii) the total amounts disputed.

-16-

(d)Payment of Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i)If the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price calculated using the Purchase Price Components as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.3 (the “Final Purchase Price”), then Seller shall, within five Business Days following the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.3, pay or cause to be paid an amount equal to such excess to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Buyer at least two Business Days prior to such payment date.

(ii)If the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, then Buyer shall, within five Business Days following the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.3, pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller an amount equal to such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller at least two Business Days prior to such payment date.

(b)True, correct and complete copies of all of the following documents with respect to each Company Benefit Plan, to the extent applicable, have been made available to Buyer: (i) all documents constituting the Company Benefit Plans, including trust agreements, insurance policies, service agreements, and formal and informal amendments thereto; (ii) all Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) determination letters for the Company Benefit Plans; (iii) the most recent summary plan description and any amendments or modifications thereof; and (iv) all notices that were issued within the preceding three years by the IRS, Department of Labor, or any other Governmental Authority with respect to the Company Benefit Plans.

(c)The Company Benefit Plans listed in Section 4.17(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule as “Qualified Plans” are the only Company Benefit Plans that are intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code (each, a “Qualified Plan”). Each of the Qualified Plans has been determined by the IRS to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from Tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, and each such determination remains in effect and has not been revoked. To the Knowledge of Seller, nothing has occurred with respect to the design or operation of any Qualified Plan that could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification or exemption or the imposition of any material Liability or Lien, penalty or Tax under ERISA or the Code or any other applicable Law, and the Qualified Plans have been timely amended to comply with current Law.

(d)With respect to each Company Benefit Plan, there has occurred no non-exempt “prohibited transaction” (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) or breach of any fiduciary duty described in Section 404 of ERISA that could result in any Liability for Seller or any of its ERISA Affiliates or any stockholder, officer, director or employee of Seller or any of its ERISA Affiliates. No Company Benefit Plan is presently under audit or examination (nor has notice been received of a potential audit or examination) by the IRS, the Department of Labor or any other Governmental Authority, and no matters are pending with respect to any Company Benefit Plan under any correction program.

(e)Each Company Benefit Plan is in compliance and conforms with all applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and the regulations issued thereunder in all material respects, as well as with all other applicable Laws in all material respects, and has been administered, operated and maintained in accordance with applicable governing documents in all material respects.

(f)No Company Benefit Plan is an International Employee Plan.

(g)Neither Seller nor its ERISA Affiliates maintains, sponsors or contributes to, nor can reasonably be expected to have any liability with respect to, (i) any “defined benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA or any other plan subject to the funding requirements of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of Title IV of ERISA, or any comparable provisions of any other applicable Law, (ii) any “multiemployer plan” as defined in Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA or any “multiple employer” or (iii) any “multiple employer plan” as defined in Section 210(a) of ERISA or Section 413(c) of the Code or “multiple employer welfare arrangement” as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA.

(h)No Company Benefit Plan contains any provision or is subject to any Law that would prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or, with respect to any Designated Employees, that would give rise to any vesting or payment of benefits, severance, termination, bonuses or other payments, the enhancement of any benefits or payments or any other Liabilities as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or such transactions taken together with any other event (such as a termination of employment). As of the Closing, Seller or the Company, as applicable, shall have satisfied all obligations and liabilities to Designated Employees with respect to any payments or benefits due under any Company Benefit Plan solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement. No payments or benefits under any Company Benefit Plan or Contract will be considered “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code with respect to any Transferred Employee. Neither Seller nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has any obligation to indemnify, hold harmless or gross-up any Transferred Employee with respect to any excise Tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. No Company Benefit Plan is a deferred compensation plan subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

For the avoidance of doubt, Liabilities relating to or arising out of the employment, or cessation of employment, of any Transferred Employees with respect to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, and any Liabilities relating to or arising out of any Contract or employee benefit arrangement, or cessation of such Contract or employee benefit arrangement, between Buyer or any of its Affiliates and any Transferred Employees, in each case following the Closing Date, shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer or its Affiliates.

7.3Vacation Payout Sharing. Notwithstanding Section 7.2, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for 50% of any amounts paid by any Selling Entity to any Designated Employee for payout of accrued vacation leave arising in connection with the termination of any such Designated Employee (each such payment an “Accrued Vacation Leave Payment”). On or prior to the three week anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a detailed list of all Accrued Vacation Leave Payments arising from the termination of the Designated Employees. On or prior to the six week anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide Seller with a cash payment equal to 50% of the aggregate amount of such Accrued Vacation Leave Payments.

7.4No Third Person Beneficiaries. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions set forth in this Article 7 or any other provision of this Agreement are included for the sole benefit of the respective Parties and shall not create any right (a) in any other Person, including any Designated Employees, any Transferred Employees, any participant in any Employee Benefit Plans or any beneficiary thereof, (b) to continued employment, either before or after the Closing, with Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (c) to be construed to modify, amend or establish any benefit plan, program or arrangement or in any way affect the ability of the Parties or any other Person to modify, amend or terminate any of its benefit plans, programs or arrangements.

ARTICLE 8
TAX MATTERS

8.1Tax Returns.

(a)Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared (i) all Tax Returns of or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are required to be filed on or after the date hereof and on or before the Closing Date and (ii) all Tax Returns for income, franchise or similar Taxes (such Taxes, “Income Taxes” and such Tax Returns, the “Income Tax Returns”) of or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, regardless of when such Income Tax Returns are required to be filed.

(b)Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8, Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Tax period ending after the Closing Date.

(c)Any Tax Return required to be filed on or after the Closing Date with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be submitted (with copies of any relevant schedules and work papers with respect to such Tax Returns then available) by the party responsible pursuant to this Agreement for preparing such Tax Return (the “Preparing Party”) to the other party (the “Non-Preparing Party”) for the Non-Preparing Party’s approval not less than 20 days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (taking into account any extensions), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Tax Return includes Seller or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, (each, a “Seller Group Return”), then such Seller Group Return (and the relevant schedules and workpapers with respect to such Seller Group Return) shall not be required to be submitted (including in redacted form), and in lieu thereof, a pro forma Tax Return for the Tax period covered by such Seller Group Return reflecting solely the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable (each, a “Pro Forma Return”) shall be submitted (with copies of any relevant schedules and workpapers with respect to such Pro Forma Return), which Pro Forma Return shall include sufficient information, as reasonably agreed upon by Seller and Buyer, to permit the determination of the Tax assets and liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, on a separate basis for such Tax period. The Non-Preparing Party shall be entitled to provide to the Preparing Party, at any time at least 10 days prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions), written comments on such Tax Return. The Preparing Party shall, in preparing such Tax Return, cause the items for which the Non-Preparing Party is liable hereunder to be reflected in accordance with the Non-Preparing Party’s comments to the fullest extent possible (unless, in the opinion of nationally recognized accounting firm advising the Preparing Party, the resulting Tax position on such Tax Return would not be more likely than not to prevail if challenged by a Taxing Authority) and, in the absence of having received such comments, in accordance with past practice, if any, to the extent permissible under applicable Law.

8.2Computation of Tax Liabilities.

(a)To the fullest extent permitted or required by applicable Law or administrative practice, (i) the taxable year of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries that includes the Closing Date shall be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date and, notwithstanding the foregoing, (ii) any transaction not in the ordinary course of business occurring after the Closing (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any compensatory payment made to service providers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, such as severance, transaction bonuses, option exercises or cash-outs, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) shall be reported on Buyer’s consolidated U.S. federal Income Tax Return to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502‑76(b)(1)(ii)(B), and

-41-

shall be similarly reported on other Tax Returns of Buyer or its Affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Tax Benefits shall be treated as arising in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and shall be utilized, along with any other net operating losses, net capital losses, research and development, research and experimentation, investment, foreign or other Tax credits or similar Tax assets and attributes of the Company and its Subsidiaries that exist as of the Closing Date, to reduce the liabilities of Seller, the Company and its Subsidiaries in the Pre-Closing Tax Period. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments under the “unified loss rules” of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36 or other limitation on any such Tax assets or attributes shall not entitle a Buyer Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to Article 11.

(b)In the case of any taxable period that includes but is not permitted or required to be treated as ending on the Closing Date (each, a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes imposed upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries allocable to the Pre‑Closing Tax Period shall be computed on an interim closing of the books basis as if such taxable period ended on and included the Closing Date, provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions), other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing, and Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as property Taxes) shall be allocated between the portion of the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the portion of the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such portion of the period.

(c)In determining Seller’s liability for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement, Seller shall be credited with the amount of estimated Taxes paid by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing. To the extent that Seller’s liability for Taxes for a taxable year or period is less than the amount of estimated Taxes previously paid by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to all or a portion of such taxable year or period, Buyer shall pay Seller the difference within two Business Days of filing the Tax Return relating to such Taxes.

8.3Transfer Taxes. All sales (including bulk sales), use, transfer, value-added, goods and services, recording, ad valorem, privilege, documentary, registration, conveyance, excise, license, stamp, duties or similar Taxes and fees resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller. Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with each other and, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, take any action reasonably requested by the other party that does not cause such party to incur any cost or material inconvenience in order to minimize any Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with such Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed when due (taking into account any extensions) by the Party primarily or customarily responsible under the applicable Law for filing such Tax Returns, and such Party will use its reasonable efforts to provide such Tax Returns to the other Party at least ten days prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions) for such Tax Returns, and the Party not customarily responsible under the applicable Law for filing such Tax Returns shall pay the other Party such Party’s 50% share of such Transfer Taxes no later than two Business Days prior to the due date for such Taxes.

8.4Refunds.

(a)Any Tax refund (including any interest in respect thereof) received by Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries becomes entitled (including by way of any amended Tax Returns or any carryback filing), that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit (including any interest in respect thereof paid by a Taxing Authority but net of any Taxes, costs or expenses with respect to such refund) within five Business Days after receipt or entitlement thereto. For purposes of this Section 8.4(a), where

-42-

it is necessary to apportion a refund or credit between Buyer and Seller for a Straddle Period, such refund or credit shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the period deemed to begin at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date on the basis of an interim closing of the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries as if such taxable period ended on and included the Closing Date, except that refunds or credits of Taxes (e.g., real property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a daily basis. Any other Tax refund, credit or similar offset of Taxes received by or credited to Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiaries is for the account of Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b)Buyer shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, and cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to cooperate, in obtaining any Tax refund that Seller reasonably believes should be available, including through filing appropriate forms with the applicable Taxing Authorities.

8.5Post-Closing Actions Affecting Seller’s Liability for Taxes.

(a)None of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer shall (or shall cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to) (i) amend any Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement, engage in any voluntary compliance procedures or make any other similar voluntary contact with any Governmental Authority with respect to any Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) consent to the extension or waiver of the limitations period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) make any Tax election with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that has effect for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b)None of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer shall (or shall cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to) carry back for U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax purposes to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, Seller or any Affiliate of Seller any operating losses, net operating losses, capital losses, tax credits or similar items arising in, resulting from, or generated in connection with a taxable period (or portion thereof) of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer beginning after the Closing Date.

8.6Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements or arrangements, written or oral, between Seller and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall terminate as of the Closing.

8.7Tax Contests. Each Party shall notify the other party in writing within 15 days following receipt by such party of written notice of any pending or threatened audits, notice of deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, examination or other administrative or court Action which could affect the liability for Taxes of such other party (including pursuant to this Agreement) (each, a “Tax Contest”). If the party required to give such notice fails to give such notice to the other party promptly, it shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Taxes arising in connection with such Tax Contest to the extent that such failure to give notice materially prejudices the other party’s right to participate in or defend the Tax Contest. Seller shall have the sole right to represent the interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries in any Tax Contest relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Period) and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense; provided, however, that Seller shall keep Buyer timely informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of any such Tax Contest, Buyer will be entitled at its expense to participate in any such Tax Contest (other than any such Tax Contest with respect to an affiliated, combined, consolidated, unitary or similar group that includes Seller or any other party other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) and Seller will not compromise or settle any such Tax Contest in

-43-

a manner that could reasonably be expected to result in a Tax Liability that is not indemnified (or otherwise satisfied) in full by Seller without obtaining Buyer’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the case of a Straddle Period, Seller shall be entitled to participate at its expense in any Tax Contest relating in any part to Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period deemed to end on or before the Closing Date and, with the written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, at Seller’s sole expense, may assume the control of such Tax Contest. None of Buyer, any of its Affiliates, the Company or its Subsidiaries may settle or otherwise dispose of any Tax Contest that would give rise to any Liability to Seller or its Affiliates under this Agreement or under applicable Law without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in the reasonable discretion of Seller, unless Buyer agrees in writing to indemnify Seller in full with respect to such Liability.

8.8Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Buyer shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (i) timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to, Transfer Taxes; (ii) reasonably cooperate with and assist the other party in preparing and filing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing or has prepared in accordance with Section 8.1; and (iii) reasonably cooperate in preparing for any Tax Contests with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties that the applicable Survival Period supersede any applicable statute of limitations with respect to the applicable representations, warranties or covenants.

9.3Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, from and after the Closing:

(a)No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 unless a valid Notice of Claim is duly delivered by such Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period.

(b)No Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i), respectively, (i) unless and until (A) the amount of Losses arising from any single event in respect of which the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i), respectively, exceeds an amount equal to $25,000 (the “Single Claim Limit”) (it being understood that once the Single Claim Limit is reached, all such Losses arising from such single event shall be counted toward the Deductible), and (B) the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of which the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i), respectively, exceeds an amount equal to $300,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of such amount, or (ii) if the cumulative indemnification obligations of Seller or Buyer pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), Section 9.2(a)(viii) or Section 9.2(b)(i), respectively, exceed $8,350,000 (the “Cap”) in the aggregate; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Single Claim Limit nor the Deductible shall apply to any indemnification obligations of Seller for Losses arising out of, caused by or resulting from any of the matters included in Schedule D; provided further that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Single Claim Limit, the Deductible or the Cap shall apply to any indemnification obligations of any Indemnifying Party (x) for Losses arising out of any inaccuracy or breach of any of the Fundamental Representations, (y) for Losses arising out Sections 9.2(a)(ii)‑(vii) or Sections 9.2(b)(ii)-(iii) or (z) with respect to claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct by any Indemnifying Party of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of such Indemnifying Party with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement; provided further that, other than with respect to clause (z) above, in no event shall either Seller or Buyer be liable for any Losses in excess of the Base Purchase Price in connection with Claims under this Article 9.

(c)In the event that a particular matter entitles an Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to more than one clause of this Article 9, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover a particular dollar of Losses associated with such matter only once under this Article 9.

9.4Indemnification Procedures.

(a)In the event that an Indemnified Party hereto may be entitled to indemnification from another Party pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9, the Indemnified Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any claim or

-46-

demand (a “Claim”) for indemnification (a “Notice of Claim”). No delay in or failure to give a Notice of Claim or the giving of an incomplete or inaccurate Notice of Claim pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies which the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party, except and only to the extent that such delay or failure results in actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party.

(b)In the event that an Indemnified Party determines that it may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 for a Claim that is not the subject of a Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party, which Notice of Claim delivered pursuant to this Section 9.4(b) shall (i) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or incurred Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9, and (ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or incurred and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that it disputes such Claim within 30 days from receipt of such Notice of Claim, the Indemnified Party shall send a second Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party relating to such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that it disputes such Claim within 15 days following receipt of such second Notice of Claim, the Claim specified therein shall be deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9, as applicable). The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any Claim by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters, such assistance and cooperation to include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters (subject to customary exceptions for privileged and confidential documents), furnishing employees (upon advance notice and at mutually convenient times) to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.

(c)In the event that an Indemnified Party hereto receives a claim or demand from a third Person for which such party may be entitled to indemnification from another Party pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9 (a “Third Person Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such Third Person Claim (but in no event more than 10 Business Days following receipt of such claim or demand), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third Person Claim by delivering to the Indemnifying Party a Notice of Claim. A Notice of Claim delivered pursuant to this Section 9.4(c) shall (i) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or incurred Losses, or reasonably anticipates that the Indemnified Party will pay or incur Losses, for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or incurred, the basis for any reasonably anticipated Losses and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or other claim to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall enclose with the Notice of Claim a copy of all papers served with respect to such Third Person Claim, if any, and any other documents evidencing such Third Person Claim (subject to customary exceptions for privileged and confidential documents). The Indemnifying Party will have 45 days from the date on which the Indemnifying Party received the Notice of Claim delivered pursuant to this Section 9.4(c) to notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party desires to assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Person Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice and at its sole cost and expense (a “Third Person Defense”), and such notice shall include an acknowledgement by the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification responsibility for all Losses for which the Indemnified Party may be indemnified as a result of such Third Person Claim; provided, however, that

-47-

notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be permitted to assume the Third Person Defense if (1) upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court determines that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third Person Claim, (2) the Third Person Claim is in respect of any matter involving criminal liability or asserts fraud of the Indemnified Party, (3) the matter that is the subject of the Third Person Claim seeks as the primary cause of action the imposition of an equitable or injunctive remedy against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (4) the Third Person Claim seeks Losses in excess of the amount for which the Indemnifying Party may be liable under this Agreement, (5) the Third Person Claim involves any Governmental Authority as a party thereto, or (6) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Third Person Claim (such conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (6) above, the “Assumption Conditions”). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the Third Person Defense in accordance herewith: (x) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Person Claim, but the Indemnifying Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, provided that the Indemnified Party’s separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict exists on a material issue between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; (y) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Person Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party and (z) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Person Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement provides for equitable relief without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the judgment or settlement (I) provides solely for the payment of money, and the Indemnified Party receives an unconditional release, (II) involves a finding or admission of any violation of Law or suggestion of any wrongdoing on behalf of the Indemnified Party or (III) does not fully and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from Liability with respect to such Third Person Claim. The Parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The Parties shall also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto (subject to customary exceptions for privileged and confidential documents). If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the Third Person Defense, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

(d)If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the Third Person Defense within 30 days of receipt of the Notice of Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the Third Person Defense, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the Third Person Defense at its sole cost and expense, but the Indemnified Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, (ii) the Indemnifying Party may at any time thereafter assume the Third Person Defense (provided that the Assumption Conditions are satisfied), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel incurred prior to the assumption by the Indemnifying Party of the Third Person Defense and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any Losses pursuant to or as a result of any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has assumed the Third Person Defense).

(e)In the event of any inconsistency between this Section 9.4 and the provisions of Article 8, the provisions of Article 8 shall govern.

-48-

9.5Calculation of Indemnity Payments.

(a)The amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 shall be reduced by (i) any and all amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies (net of any increased premiums resulting from such Losses), (ii) any Tax benefit actually realized by any Indemnified Party (taking into account any Tax detriment, and measured on a with and without basis) as a result of such Loss in the taxable year in which such Loss is paid or incurred or any prior year and (iii) any and all amounts actually received by the Indemnified Party from any other Person in the form of an indemnity, contribution or other similar payment; provided that no Indemnified Party shall be under any obligation to seek recovery under any of its insurance policies or from any other third party prior to seeking recovery from the Indemnifying Party under this Article 9. If an Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, any such Tax benefit or from any other Person subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

(b)Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9, for punitive or exemplary damages except to the extent payable by an Indemnified Party to a third party.

(c)For the purposes of determining the amount of Losses to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to recover under this Article 9 and for purposes of determining whether or not an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9, each of the representations and warranties that contains any “Company Material Adverse Effect,” “Buyer Material Adverse Effect,” “material” or similar materiality qualifications shall be read as though such qualifications were not contained therein (other than with respect to (i) clause (x) of Section 4.11 and (ii) the use of the term “Material Contract” and any other defined term that includes the word “Material” in the title).

(d)Each of Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the other is entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties made by such Party in this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and that an Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification or other remedies based upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Indemnifying Party shall not be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the Indemnified Party or any waiver by the Indemnified Party of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty or compliance with any covenant or agreement. Such representations and warranties and covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the Indemnifying Party failed to comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by an Indemnified Party shall be for its own protection only and shall not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder

9.6Exclusive Remedy. Except (a) in the event of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, (b) for specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies and (c) claims of or causes of action arising from the Transition Services Agreement, the sole and exclusive remedy of each Party and the Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all matters arising out of, relating to or connected with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be the provisions of Article 8 and the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9.

9.7Characterization of Indemnification Payments. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties shall treat any indemnification payment made hereunder as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

9.8Minimum Cash. In order to satisfy the indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to this Article 9, Seller agrees that Seller and its Subsidiaries shall maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand in an amount at least equal to the Minimum Cash Amount (such amount to be reduced from time to time by the amount of any indemnification payments made by Seller hereunder) until the General Survival Date; provided, however, that in the event of the occurrence of any Escrow Triggering Event prior to the expiry of the General Survival Date, at or prior to the occurrence of such Escrow Triggering Event, Seller shall deposit an amount equal to the Minimum Cash Amount (reduced by the amount of any indemnification payments made by Seller hereunder as of such date) in escrow with a nationally recognized, third party escrow agent reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the “Escrow Agent”); provided, however, that if the adjustment to the Purchase Price to be made pursuant to Section 2.3, if any, shall not have been finalized in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3, the Minimum Cash Amount shall be increased by $500,000 to satisfy any such adjustment in accordance therewith until such time as any adjustment to the Purchase Price to be made pursuant to Section 2.3 is finalized in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3. Any amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 9.8 will be held by the Escrow Agent until the General Survival Date, at which time such amounts will be released to Seller net of any pending claims asserted in good faith by a Buyer Indemnified Party prior to the General Survival Date. All disputed amounts shall be retained by the Escrow Agent until delivery by Buyer or Seller of joint written instructions or a non-appealable court order. All fees payable to the Escrow Agent shall be borne by Seller. Each of the foregoing terms will be set forth in more detail in an escrow agreement in customary form that is reasonably acceptable to each of Buyer and Seller.

Subject to applicable Law, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of the Parties, or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No course of dealing and no failure or delay on the part of any Party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such party’s rights, powers and remedies. The failure of any of the Parties to this Agreement to require the performance of a term or obligation under this Agreement or the waiver by any of the Parties to this Agreement of any breach hereunder shall not prevent subsequent enforcement of

-51-

such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach hereunder. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

10.4Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected (so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transaction is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party), it being intended that each Parties’ rights and privileges shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and any such invalidity, illegality and unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction (so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transaction is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party).

10.5Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each of Seller and Buyer shall pay all of its own respective fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers and other representatives and consultants) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the Transaction.

10.6Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

10.7Other Remedies. Except to the extent set forth otherwise herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

10.9Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Schedule (and all schedules and exhibits thereto) and all Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement, and all other agreements referred to herein is complete, and all promises, representations, understandings, warranties and agreements with reference to the subject matter hereof, and all inducements to the making of this Agreement relied upon by all the Parties, have been expressed herein or in such Company Disclosure Schedule, Schedules, Exhibits or such other agreements and this Agreement, including such Company Disclosure Schedule, Schedules, Exhibits and such other agreements supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent that they related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts solely for the purposes of disputes arising under this Agreement and not as a general submission to such jurisdiction or with respect to any other dispute, matter or claim whatsoever. The Parties irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such Action by the delivery of copies thereof by overnight courier to the address for such party to which notices are deliverable hereunder. Any such service of process shall be effective upon delivery. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. The Parties hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any Action under or in connection with this Agreement brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason, or that it or any of its property is immune from the above-described legal process, (b) that such Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that venue for the Action is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, or (c) any other defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any Party hereto is entitled pursuant to any final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.

10.12WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

10.13Counterparts. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in two or more counterparts and by the different Parties on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a fax machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party hereto shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
