This MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of September 20, 2023 (this “Agreement”), is made by and between Genasys Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and Word Systems Operations, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (“Seller”) and Evertel Technologies, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Company”). Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 10.1.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, Seller owns all of the membership interests of the Company (the “Membership Interests”), which constitute all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Company;

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, the Membership Interests, for the purchase price and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
SALE AND PURCHASE OF THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

1.1 Sale and Purchase of Membership Interests. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, on the Closing Date, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase, assume, acquire and accept from Seller, all of Seller’s rights, title, and interest in and to the Membership Interests, free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable state or federal securities Laws), such that immediately following the Closing, Purchaser will own all of the Membership Interests, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable state or federal securities Laws). The purchase and sale of the Membership Interests shall be effective as 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date.

1.2 Closing Consideration. Subject to the adjustment set forth in Section 1.3(b), in consideration for the transfer of the Membership Interests and the other covenants, promises and undertakings of Seller set forth herein, Purchaser shall pay to Seller at the Closing (the “Closing Consideration”) an amount equal to: (i) Closing ARR Amount, plus or minus, (ii) the Closing Working Capital Adjustment (which Closing Working Capital Adjustment may be a negative number and thereby reduce the Closing Consideration), minus (iii) the Adjustment Escrow Amount, minus (iv) the Indemnity Holdback Amount, minus (v) the Closing Indebtedness, minus (vi) the Retention Amount and minus, (vii) the Selling Expenses.

1.3 Adjustments to Closing Consideration.

(a) Adjustment at Closing.

(i) Estimated Closing Consideration. At least three Business Days before the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Company, prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with the accounting principles, practices, procedures, methodologies and policies that were employed in preparing the Financial Statements (with consistent classifications, judgments, inclusions, exclusions and valuation and estimation methodologies) dated as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), and a good faith calculation of the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Working Capital, and the Selling Expenses, respectively, as of the Closing Date and deliver to Purchaser for its review and approval a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) setting forth such estimates and the calculation of the Estimated Closing Consideration. Following delivery of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Certificate, Purchaser will have the right to make reasonable inquiries regarding and suggested changes to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, Closing Certificate, Estimated Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Selling Expenses, and Estimated Closing Consideration, and Seller shall prior to the Closing Date provide to Purchaser such additional information and answers to such inquiries, and Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mutually agree with the estimates set forth in the Closing Certificate. As used herein, “Estimated Closing Indebtedness,” “Estimated Closing Working Capital,” and “Estimated Selling Expenses” mean the estimates of the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, and Selling Expenses, respectively, derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and set forth in the Closing Certificate, and “Estimated Closing Consideration” means an amount equal to the Closing Consideration calculated as set forth in Section 1.2, assuming for purposes of such calculation that the Closing Indebtedness is equal to the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, that the Closing Working Capital is equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital, and that the Selling Expenses are equal to the Estimated Selling Expenses.

(ii) Payment of Estimated Closing Consideration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay and deliver the Estimated Closing Consideration (as calculated based upon the Closing Certificate) to Seller, $2,737,500 of which will be paid by the delivery to Seller of the Closing Shares and $937,500 of which will be paid in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller at least two business days prior to Closing.

(iii) Payment of Estimated Debt and Estimated Selling Expenses. At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay on behalf of the Company and/or Seller, as applicable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to such accounts as are specified on Appendix 1.3(a)(iii), the Estimated Closing Indebtedness (collectively, the “Repaid Closing Indebtedness”) and the Estimated Selling Expenses.

(iv) Escrow; Indemnity Holdback. At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an escrow account (the “Adjustment Escrow Account”), the Adjustment Escrow Amount, to be held by the Escrow Agent and distributed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement solely to satisfy any amounts owed to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.3(b). The Holdback Cash shall not be delivered at the Closing and the Holdback Shares will not be issued at the Closing, and each of the Holdback Cash and the Holdback Shares will be available for offset and delivery pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.8.

(b) Closing Consideration Adjustment.

(i) Closing Financial Statements and Post-Closing Adjustment Notice. As promptly as practicable, but no later than 120 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver, or shall cause to be prepared and delivered, to Seller (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company, prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with the accounting principles, practices, procedures, methodologies and policies that were employed in preparing the Financial Statements (with consistent classifications, judgments, inclusions, exclusions and valuation and estimation methodologies) dated as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), except that the Closing Balance Sheet shall not give effect to the transactions described in this Agreement, and (ii) a statement (the “Post-Closing Adjustment Notice”) setting forth the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, and Selling Expenses, each as set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet, and the calculation of the final Closing Consideration.

(ii) Review of the Post-Closing Adjustment Notice. Seller shall have 30 days from the date on which the Closing Balance Sheet and the Post-Closing Adjustment Notice are delivered to review such documents (the “Review Period”). Seller and its accountant shall be provided with reasonable access to the related work papers of Purchaser in connection with such review. If Seller disagrees in any respect with any item or amount shown or reflected in the Post-Closing Adjustment Notice, Seller may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to Purchaser setting forth, in reasonable detail, each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith, together with reasonably detailed supporting calculations (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice shall set forth Seller’s good faith calculation of the Closing Consideration. If no Dispute Notice is received by Purchaser on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Post-Closing Adjustment Notice shall be deemed accepted by Seller.

(iii) Consultation Period. During the 30 days immediately following Purchaser’s receipt of a Dispute Notice (the “Consultation Period”), Purchaser and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Dispute Notice.

(iv) The Accountant. After the end of the Consultation Period, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly retain BDO (or another accounting firm of national reputation mutually agreed upon by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller) to resolve such of the issues set forth in the Dispute Notice as shall not have been resolved by mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller prior to such date. If for any reason BDO (or such other mutually agreed upon firm) shall not be available to resolve such issues consistent with this Section (b)(iv), Purchaser and Seller shall promptly retain the services of a national or regional independent accounting firm, and has not in the prior year provided, services to Purchaser or Seller (or to their Affiliates). If Purchaser and Seller cannot agree on the independent accounting firm to be retained within 30 days, Purchaser and Seller shall each submit the name of one accounting firm that satisfies the qualifications set forth in this Section 1.3(b)(iv), and the independent accounting firm shall be selected by lot from those two firms. In resolving any disputed item, the independent accounting firm retained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(iv) (the “Accountant”) shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator and shall conduct such review of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Post-Closing Adjustment Notice and the Dispute Notice, any supporting documentation and any related work papers as the Accountant in its sole discretion deems necessary to resolve the issues raised in the Dispute Notice.

(v) The Accountant’s Report. The Accountant shall, as promptly as practicable and in no event later than 30 days following the date of its retention, deliver to Purchaser and Seller a written report (the “Accountant’s Report”), in which the Accountant shall, after considering all matters set forth in the Dispute Notice (other than those resolved by mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller), determine the amount of the Closing Working Capital. The Accountant’s Report shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the Accountant’s determination with respect to each of the disputed items or amounts specified in the Dispute Notice (other than those resolved by mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller), and the revisions, if any, to be made to the Post-Closing Adjustment Notice and the amount of the Closing Consideration, together with supporting calculations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Closing Consideration identified by Purchaser in the Post-Closing Adjustment Notice is higher than the Estimated Closing Consideration identified by Seller in the Dispute Notice, then the Accountant shall not, and shall have no authority to, determine that the Closing Consideration is greater than the Closing Consideration identified by Purchaser in the Post-Closing Adjustment Notice, or less than the Closing Consideration identified by Seller in the Dispute Notice (in each case as adjusted by any issues resolved by mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller after delivery of the Dispute Notice and prior to engagement of the Accountant) and (b) if the Closing Consideration identified by Purchaser in the Post-Closing Adjustment Notice is less than the Closing Consideration identified by Seller in the Dispute Notice, then the Accountant shall not, and shall have no authority to, determine that the Closing Consideration is greater than the Closing Consideration identified by Seller in the Dispute Notice, or less than the Closing Consideration identified by Purchaser in the Post-Closing Adjustment Notice (in each case as adjusted by any issues resolved by mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller after delivery of the Dispute Notice and prior to engagement of the Accountant). The fees and expenses of the Accountant incurred in connection with the matters referred to in this Section 1.3(b)(v) shall be paid by Seller, on the one hand, and by Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller or Purchaser, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller and Purchaser.

(vi) Final Adjustment and Payment of Closing Consideration Adjustment. Within five Business Days following the first to occur of (i) the end of the Review Period (if a timely Dispute Notice is not delivered), or (ii) the resolution of all matters set forth in the Dispute Notice (if a timely Dispute Notice is delivered) by agreement of the parties, or (iii) the issuance of the Accountant’s Report (if a timely Dispute Notice is delivered and the parties do not resolve all matters by agreement prior to issuance of the Accountant’s Report), as the case may be, the following payments will be made:

(A) If the Closing Consideration finally determined hereunder is greater than the Estimated Closing Consideration (such difference, the “Excess Amount”), (A) Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller in cash the Excess Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller and (B) Purchaser and Seller shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the then remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account to Seller.

(B) If the Closing Consideration finally determined hereunder is less than the Estimated Closing Consideration (the absolute value of such difference, the “Deficit Amount”), Purchaser and Seller shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Account (A) to an account or accounts designated in writing by Purchaser, the Deficit Amount and (B) to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller, the balance remaining (if any) of the Adjustment Escrow Account (after any payment made to Purchaser from the Adjustment Escrow Account pursuant to the foregoing clause (A)). If the Deficit Amount is greater than the then remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account (such excess, the “Shortfall Amount”), then Seller shall promptly, pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount to an account or accounts designated by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to (but shall not be required to) set off any amounts that have been finally determined pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to be due or payable to Purchaser by Seller pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(vi)(B) against any amounts otherwise due and payable by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to Seller under this Agreement.

1.4 Contingent Payments.

(a) Company ARR. Subject to the terms of this Section 1.4, following the Closing, Seller shall be eligible to receive contingent payments (each, an “Earnout Payment,” and collectively, the “Earnout Payments”) on the terms set forth in this Section 1.4. The first Earnout Payment (the “First Earnout Payment”) shall be equal to the amount by which (i) six times the Company ARR for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 exceeds (ii) the Closing ARR Amount. The Second Earnout Payment (the “Second Earnout Payment”) shall be amount equal to $600,000 which shall be payable only if the Second Earnout Conditions are satisfied in full on or before March 31, 2024. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the sum of the First Earnout Payment and the Second Earnout Payment shall in no event exceed $1,050,000.

(b) Earnout Statement. With respect to the First Earnout Payment, Purchaser shall prepare a detailed calculation with supporting documentation of the Company ARR for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and any resulting First Earnout Payment (the “Earnout Statement”) and provide the Earnout Statement to Seller on or before January 31, 2024. Seller shall have 30 days (the “Earnout Review Period”) to review the Earnout Statement related to the First Earnout Payment. The Earnout Statement for the Second Earnout Payment shall be provided to Seller on or before April 15, 2024 and shall state whether or not the Second Earnout Conditions have been satisfied in full on or before March 31, 2024. The Earnout Statement for the Second Earnout Payment shall be conclusive on the parties hereto absent manifest error.

(c) Earnout Objection. At any time on or prior to the expiration of the Earnout Review Period, Seller may object to the Earnout Statement related to the First Earnout Payment by delivering to Purchaser a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail (the “Earnout Objection Statement”), indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Earnout Disputed Items”). If Seller fails to deliver the Earnout Objection Statement before the expiration of the Earnout Review Period, the calculation of Company ARR and the resulting First Earnout Payment reflected in the Earnout Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. If Seller delivers the Earnout Objection Statement before the expiration of the Earnout Review Period, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Earnout Disputed Items within 30 days after the delivery of the Earnout Objection Statement (the “Earnout Resolution Period”).

(d) Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Purchaser fail to reach an agreement with respect to all Earnout Disputed Items during the Earnout Resolution Period, then any unresolved Earnout Disputed Items shall be submitted for resolution to the Accountant to be resolved in accordance with Section 1.3(b), which shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such dispute regarding the First Earnout Payment.

(e) Operational Covenants. Until December 31, 2023, (i) Purchaser agrees that it shall not take any action specifically and solely intended to reduce the Earnout Payment, and (ii) Purchaser and the Company shall maintain adequate records and segregate business operations to the extent reasonably necessary to allow the accurate calculation of Company ARR in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the accurate calculation of the Earnout Payments. If Purchaser breaches the covenant in sub-clause (i) of this Section 1.4(e), the sole remedy shall be an adjustment to the Company ARR to reflect the Company ARR that would have resulted had such breach not occurred.

(f) Payment. The First Earnout Payment shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account to which the Closing Consideration is paid within five Business Days of the final resolution after the First Earnout Payment. The Second Earnout Payment, if any, shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account to which the Closing Consideration is paid within five Business Days after delivery of the Earnout Statement for the Second Earnout Payment.

(g) Payment of Retention Amounts to Key Employees. Purchaser shall cause the Retention Amount to be distributed as follows:

(i) Within five Business Days of the final resolution of the First Earnout Payment, Purchaser shall cause to be paid to the Key Employees in equal parts an amount equal to: (A) the Retention Amount, multiplied by (B) Company ARR for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, divided by $1,000,000.00, which amount shall be paid to the Key Employees by issuance of shares of Common Stock at the VWAP;

(ii) If any portion of the Retention Amount is not distributed to the Key Employees pursuant to Section 1.4(g)(i) (such amount, the “Undistributed Retention Amount”), shall be distributed as follows:

(A) If the Second Earnout Conditions are satisfied in full on or before March 31, 2024, then the Undistributed Retention Amount shall be distributed to the Key Employees within five business days of the resolution of the Second Earnout Payment by issuance of shares of Common Stock at the VWAP; and

(B) If the Second Earnout Conditions are not satisfied in full on or before March 31, 2024, then the Undistributed Retention Amount shall be distributed to Seller by issuance of shares of Common Stock at the VWAP on the date that the Second Earnout Payment would have been paid if the Second Earnout Conditions had been satisfied in full on or before March 31, 2024.

(h) Earnout Acknowledgements. Seller acknowledges and agrees that there is no assurance that Seller will receive the Earnout Payment. Except to the extent set forth in this Section 1.4, Purchaser hereby disclaims any and all obligation (including any implied obligation of good faith or otherwise) to operate the business for the benefit of Seller or otherwise in order to achieve or make the Earnout Payment.

1.5 Closing Consideration and Earnout Calculation. An example of the calculation of Estimated Closing Consideration, the adjustments contemplated by Section 1.3 and the Earnout Payments is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

1.6 Withholding. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Tax Law. If Purchaser so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which Purchaser made such deduction and withholding. Purchaser shall timely pay any such withheld amounts to the appropriate taxing authority.

The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate the assets used in its business, to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign Person, in each jurisdiction wherein the character of its property, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, makes such qualification necessary, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall own all of the Membership Interests free and clear of all Encumbrances and other restrictions on transfer (other than applicable federal and state securities law restrictions).

No additional Tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code has been or is reasonably expected to be incurred by a participant in any such contract, plan, program, agreement, or arrangement. No event has occurred that would be treated by Section 409A(b) as a transfer of property for purposes of Section 83 of the Code. The Company is not required to provide any gross-up, make-whole, or other payment with respect to taxes, interests or penalties imposed under any tax provisions, including Section 409A or Section 4999 of the Code.

(c) Each Company Benefit Plan that is intended to be tax qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and has either obtained from the IRS a favorable determination letter as to its qualified status under the Code, including all amendments, or has applied (or has time remaining in which to apply) to the IRS for such a determination letter prior to the expiration of the requisite period under applicable Treasury Regulations or has been established under a pre-approved plan for which an IRS opinion letter has been obtained by the plan sponsor and is valid as to the adopting employer, and there is not any event, condition or circumstance that could result in disqualification under the Code.

(d) None of the Company Benefit Plans is a self-funded employee benefit plan, including any plan to which a stop-loss policy applies. None of the Company Benefit Plans promises or provides medical or other retiree welfare benefits, including without limitation any premium subsidies, to any person for any reason following their termination of employment or service other than as required under applicable Law.

(e) All contributions, premiums and benefit payments in connection with the Company Benefit Plans that are required to have been made as of the date hereof have been timely made or are reflected on the most recent Balance Sheet. In addition, with respect to each Company Benefit Plan intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement, the Company and each of the ERISA Affiliates have at all times made timely deposits of employee salary reduction contributions and participant loan repayments, as determined pursuant to regulations issued by the United States Department of Labor.

(f) Neither of the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever maintained, established, sponsored, participated in, contributed to, been required to contribute to, or had any actual or contingent liability with respect to any (i) plan that is or was subject to Section 302 or Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code; (ii) “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA; (iii) “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code); or (iv) a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA.

(g) There has been no “prohibited transaction” (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code and not exempt under Section 408 of ERISA and regulatory guidance thereunder) with respect to any Company Benefit Plan. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is subject to any actual or contingent liability or penalty under Sections 4972 through 4980H of the Code or Title I of ERISA with respect to any Company Benefit Plans. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has agreed or is required to indemnify any person or entity against any liability incurred under any Contract, Law or Order in connection with any Company Benefit Plan.

(h) There have been no Actions with respect to any Company Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits), which are pending, or to the knowledge of Seller, threatened.

(i) With respect to each Company Benefit Plan subject to ERISA as either an employee pension benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA or an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, the Company and any applicable ERISA Affiliate have prepared in good faith and timely filed all requisite governmental reports (which were true, correct and complete as of the date filed), including any required audit reports, and have properly and timely filed and distributed or posted all notices and reports to employees required to be filed, distributed or posted with respect to each such Company Benefit Plan. No Action, audit or investigation is pending or has been brought, or to the knowledge of Seller, is threatened, against or with respect to any such Company Benefit Plan, including any audit or inquiry by any Governmental Authority.

(j) There has been no amendment, interpretation or announcement (whether or not written) by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate relating to, or change in participation or coverage under, any Company Benefit Plan that would materially increase the expense of maintaining such Company Benefit Plan above the level of expense incurred in the Company’s most recent full fiscal year.

(k) Each Company Benefit Plan can be amended, merged, terminated or otherwise discontinued after the Closing Date in accordance with its terms, without liability to Purchaser and/or any of its Affiliates (other than ordinary and reasonable administrative expenses typically incurred in a termination event). Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any related documents nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, either alone or in combination with any other event (whether contingent or otherwise), (i) result in payment becoming due, payable, or required to be provided to any current or former employee, director, independent contractor or consultant (or their dependents or beneficiaries), (ii) increase the amount or value of any compensation or benefits payable or required to be provided to any current or former employee, director, independent contractor or consultant (or their dependents or beneficiaries), including acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any compensation or benefits, (iii) require the Company to fund any liabilities or place in trust or otherwise set aside any amounts in respect of any Company Benefit Plan, or (iv) result in any payments or benefits that could reasonably be expected to be a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or Section 4999 of the Code (whether or not such payment is considered to be reasonable compensation for services rendered) or could reasonably be expected to not be deductible by the Company by reason of Section 280G of the Code.

(l) Each Company Benefit Plan that is a group health plan is in compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 and subsequent agency guidance (collectively, the “2010 Health Care Law”). The design and operation of each Company Benefit Plan that is a group health plan has not resulted in the incurrence of any penalty or excise tax under Code Section 4980H to the Company pursuant to the 2010 Health Care Law. There is nothing that would create a reporting obligation or excise tax under 4980D of the Code.

(m) Neither the Company nor any Affiliate has ever sponsored, maintained, participated in, contributed to, or been required to sponsor, maintain, participate in or contribute to, any employee benefit plan, program, or other arrangement providing compensation or benefits to any employee or former employee, director, officer, or independent contractor (or any beneficiary or dependent thereof) that is subject to the Laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States.

(b) The Company is not a party to or otherwise bound by any collective bargaining agreement, contract or other agreement or understanding with a labor union or labor organization, nor is any such contract or agreement presently being negotiated, nor, to the knowledge of Seller, is there, a representation campaign respecting any of the employees of the Company.

The Company has not been debarred, suspended or otherwise made ineligible from doing business with the United States government or any government contractor.

3.17 Litigation.

The Company has not received any written notice or been charged with the violation of any Laws.

All fees and charges with respect to such Permits as of the date hereof have been paid in full. Schedule 3.18(b) lists all current Permits issued to the Company, including the names of the Permits and their respective dates of issuance and expiration. No event has occurred that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, suspension, lapse or limitation of any Permit set forth in Schedule 3.18(b).

5.6 Financial Advisors. No Person has acted, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder or financial advisor for Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no person is entitled to any fee or commission or like payment in respect thereof.

5.7 Independent Investigation. Purchaser has conducted its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the business, results of operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise), or assets of the Company, and acknowledges that it has been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, assets, premises, books and records, and other documents and data of Seller and the Company for such purpose. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that: (a) in making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser has relied solely upon its own investigation and the express representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Article III and Article IV of this Agreement (including the related portions of the Disclosure Schedules); and (b) none of Seller, the Company or any other Person has made any representation or warranty as to Seller, the Company or this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in Article III and Article IV of this Agreement (including the related portions of the Disclosure Schedules).

COVENANTS

6.1 Conduct of Business. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, required by Law, set forth on Schedule 6.1, or consented to by the Purchaser in writing, during the period between the date hereof and the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “Pre-Closing Period”), Seller shall cause the Company to: (a) carry on its business in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and to preserve intact the present business organization of the Company; and (c) conduct its operations in compliance with Laws, except where such violation does not and would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. In addition to the foregoing, during the Pre-Closing Period, Seller shall not permit the Company to (i) take any action that would require disclosure under Section 3.10 if such action were taken prior to execution of this Agreement, (ii) except as consistent with past practices, file any Tax Return or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes; (iii) waive or agree to any extension of any limitations period in respect of Taxes; (iv) take any other action that would cause any of the representations and warranties made by Seller or the Company in this Agreement not to remain true and correct in all material respects; or (v) take any action, or omit to take any action, that would result in the occurrence of any of the foregoing.

6.2 Consents. During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts, and Purchaser shall cooperate with such efforts (but shall not be required to make any payment to any third party), to obtain the third party consents to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under or with respect to the Contracts and Permits set forth on Schedule 3.6. In addition, Seller and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts and assist and cooperate with Purchaser in the transfer of all Permits necessary for the operation of the Company business following the Closing.

Seller shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its respective Affiliates and all Representatives or their respective Affiliates to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal.

(c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 6.3 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to Purchaser and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Purchaser.

6.4 Information.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.7, during the Pre-Closing Period, upon reasonable advance notice and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, the Company and Seller shall give to Purchaser’s officers, employees and agents reasonable access during normal business hours to all of the books, records and Contracts of the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement requires the Company to disclose any information to Purchaser or any of its Representatives to the extent such disclosure would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, violate any applicable Law. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be conducted by Purchaser in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the Company’s business.

(b) Within 15 days after the end of each calendar month during the Pre-Closing Period, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the last day of such calendar month, (ii) a statement of income and a statement of cash flows for such calendar month and for the year-to-date period through the end of such calendar month, and (iii) a certificate executed by an officer of the Company confirming that such financial statements are accurate and complete in all material respects, fairly present the financial position of the Company as of the date thereof and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods covered thereby, and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the basis on which the Financial Statements were prepared.

6.5 Notification of Certain Matters. During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller, the Company and the Purchaser shall deliver, as soon as reasonably practicable after obtaining knowledge thereof, to the other parties any information relating to any fact or event that cause any of the representations and warranties made by the Company, Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, to be or become incorrect or incomplete, it being understood and agreed that the delivery of such information shall not in any manner constitute a waiver by any party of any of the conditions precedent to the Closing and shall not be deemed to amend or modify any party’s representations or warranties made under this Agreement or in any disclosure schedule attached hereto or referenced herein.

6.6 Taxes.

(a) Seller shall cause the Company to prepare and file all income Tax Returns of the Company for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (“Seller Income Tax Returns”). Purchaser shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed at the Company’s expense, all other Tax Returns of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including any Straddle Periods) which are due after the Closing Date (“Purchaser Tax Returns”). All Tax Returns required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 6.6(a) shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with prior practice, except as required by applicable Law. Seller shall submit to Purchaser for its review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) any Seller Income Tax Return at least 30 days prior to filing such Seller Income Tax Return, and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Purchaser. Purchaser shall submit to Seller for its review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) any Purchaser Tax Return relating to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or any Straddle Period at least 30 days prior to filing such Purchaser Tax Return, and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Seller.

(b) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party or parties, in connection with the preparation and 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. Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree 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 of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority.

(c) Purchaser and Seller shall use the interim closing of the books method at the end of the Closing Date for purposes of determining allocations that must be made to the Company for federal, state, local or foreign Tax purposes (including pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(1)). In the case of any Taxes not described in the preceding sentence for any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be (i) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income, receipts, expenditures, or a specific event or transaction, the amount of such Tax that would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended as of the end of the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of any Tax not described in clause (i), the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period prior to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, all items of loss or deduction for applicable income Tax purposes resulting from or attributable to the exercise or cancellation of any options, the payment of any bonuses or other compensatory payments made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any fees, expenses, premiums and penalties incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all current liabilities of the Company shall be allocated, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to the taxable period (or a portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date for the benefit of Seller.

(e) Without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Company or any of its Affiliates to, amend or refile any Tax Returns, make, change or revoke any Tax election, extend or waive the applicable statute of limitations, or file any ruling request with any Tax Authority, in each case, relating to any Tax of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period.

(f) The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Seller. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of the Company for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.6(d). Purchaser shall pay (or cause the Company to pay) to Seller the amount of any refund, credit or offset of Tax to which Seller is entitled pursuant to this Section 6.6(f) within 10 days after such refund is received or after such credit or offset is allowed or applied against another Tax liability, as the case may be.

(g) Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receipt by Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates of notice of any claim, action, audit, suit, proceeding, examination or investigation related to Taxes with respect to the Company (a “Tax Action”) to the extent such Tax Action relates to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or such Tax Action could give rise to Taxes for which Seller may be liable; provided, however, that no failure or delay of Purchaser, the Company, or their Affiliates in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Seller pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent Seller is actually prejudiced by such failure or delay. Seller shall have the right to control, settle or compromise any such Tax Action (other than a Tax Action in respect of a Straddle Period). If Seller elects not to (or is not permitted to) control such Tax Action, Purchaser shall control such Tax Action. The party having control of any Tax Action shall keep the other party reasonably informed with respect to the status and progress of such Tax Action, and such other party shall have the right to participate in such Tax Action with its own counsel and at its own expense. Purchaser shall not settle or compromise any Tax Action governed by this Section 6.6(g) without the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, and conditioned); and Seller shall not settle or compromise any Tax Action governed by this Section 6.6(g) that would reasonably be expected to affect the Tax liability of the Company, Purchaser, or their Affiliates for taxable periods ending after the Closing Date without Purchaser’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In the event this Section 6.6(g) conflicts with Section 8.3, any Tax Action shall be governed by this Section 6.6(g).

6.7 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, hold, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the Company, except to the extent that such Affiliate or Representative can show that such information (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Seller, or any of its Affiliates or Representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by Seller, or any of its Affiliates or Representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If such Affiliate or Representative is compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, such Affiliate or Representative shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which such Affiliate or Representative is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that such Affiliate or Representative shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

6.8 Release. Effective upon the Closing, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and each of its respective successors and assigns (each, a “Seller Releasor”), and in its capacity as a member of the Company, hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Company and each of its current officers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates and employees (each, a “Company Releasee”) of, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, judgments, debts, dues and suits of every kind, nature and description whatsoever, which such Seller Releasor ever had, now has or may have on or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, this release does not extend to any claim to enforce a Seller Releasor’s rights under this Agreement or any ancillary agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees not to, and agrees to cause its respective officers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates and employees, and each of their respective successors and assigns, not to, assert any such claims against the Company Releasees.

6.9 Restricted Covenants.

(a) Non-Competition. From the Closing Date until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not engage in any activity or act in any manner, or prepare to engage in any activity or prepare to act in any manner, including as an owner, shareholder, member, partner, director, officer, consultant, agent, representative or employee (other than as a less than two percent (2%) shareholder of a publicly traded corporation) for the purpose of owning, establishing, operating, assisting or managing any Person that engages in any business that competes with the Company’s business as conducted prior to the Closing Date. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Company competes in a global industry and that its business extends throughout the world. Given the broad-reaching nature of the Company’s client and customer contacts, the Company is reasonably considered to be performing its business generally throughout the world. Accordingly, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that these restrictions shall reasonably apply to competitive activities and that any prohibited activity performed by Seller anywhere in the world will cause unfair injury to Purchaser.

(b) Non-Solicitation of Service Providers. During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not engage, hire, employ or retain, or solicit or attempt to hire, employ, or retain, any Person who is (or who was at any time during the six-month period prior to such solicitation or attempt) an employee or independent contractor of the Company in any capacity whatsoever, or solicit, aid, or induce any such employee or independent contractor to leave such employment or engagement, or to accept employment or engagement with or render services to or with any other Person, or take any action to assist or aid any other Person in identifying, hiring or soliciting any such employee or independent contractor, in each case without the express written consent of Purchaser; provided, however, that the foregoing provision will not prevent Seller from: (i) directly or indirectly publishing any general solicitation of employment through an advertisement or other medium (including through the use of third party recruiting firms) not targeted at such employees or independent contractors, or (ii) after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, hiring or engaging any employee whose employment has been terminated by the Company or Purchaser, or after 180 days from the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.

(c) Non-Solicitation of Customers and Suppliers. During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not (a) solicit, or attempt to solicit, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of any Person other than the Company, Purchaser or one of their Affiliates, any Person, firm or entity that was a customer (or Affiliate thereof) or actively sought customer (or Affiliate thereof) of the Company during the twenty-four month period prior to the Closing Date for the purpose of providing such customers any products or services which compete with the Company’s business, (b) induce or attempt to induce any supplier (or Affiliate thereof) of the Company during the twenty-four month period prior to the Closing Date to refrain from, reduce, or cease doing business with the Company, or (c) otherwise intentionally interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company and any such customers or suppliers.

(d) Non-Disparagement. Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its representatives who are acting on behalf of Seller, not to, at any time during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly, make any public statement that is disparaging to the Company or any of its Affiliates, including any statement that disparages the products, services, finances, financial condition, capabilities or other aspect of the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ further agrees that during the Restricted Period Seller shall not engage in any conduct that is intended to inflict harm upon the professional or personal reputation of any director, officer or executive employees of the Company.

(e) Enforcement. Seller agrees that the provisions of this Section 6.9 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the investment by Purchaser in the business of the Company, and that if any portion thereof shall be held contrary to law or invalid or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, or as to one or more periods of time, areas of business activities or any part thereof, the remaining provisions shall not be affected but shall remain in full force and effect and that any such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed, without further action on the part of any Person, modified and limited to the minimum extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction. Purchaser and Seller intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the courts of any jurisdiction. If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive Covenants unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, such determination shall not bar or in any way affect Purchaser’s right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographic scope of the Restrictive Covenants as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, such covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

6.10 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a) Purchaser agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer or director of the Company (collectively, the “Covered Persons”), as provided in the Governing Documents of such entity, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms for a period of 6 years following the Closing Date; provided that no such indemnification shall apply to any claim against any of the foregoing arising out of a breach of this Agreement, any ancillary agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(b) The Company shall, and Seller shall cause the Company to, prior to the Closing, purchase for the benefit of the Covered Persons, a 6-year extended reporting period endorsement under the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies of the Company (the “Tail Insurance Policy”), providing that such endorsement shall extend the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage in force as of the date hereof for a period of 6 years from the Closing for any claims arising from events which occurred prior to the Closing. The cost of the Tail Insurance Policy shall be a Selling Expense. Purchaser shall (i) upon the request of Seller, cooperate reasonably with Seller to make any claim for coverage under any such policy and take any action reasonably requested by Seller to obtain reimbursement for covered Losses under any such policy or to otherwise enforce any such policy or any provision thereof, (ii) promptly inform Seller of any communication received by Purchaser or, after the Closing, received by the Company, from, or given by Purchaser or, after the Closing, by the Company, to any Person issuing any such insurance policy, and (iii) upon Seller’s request, promptly furnish to Seller, certificates of insurance evidencing such policy.

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

None of the Company, Purchaser, or Seller may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be, to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; as required hereby.

ARTICLE 8
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in Article 3, Article 4 and Article 5 shall survive the Closing and will continue in full force and effect for a period of time from the date hereof until the Expiration Date; provided that (a) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.19, 3.25, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5 (collectively, the “Seller Fundamental Representations”) and Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.6 (collectively, the “Purchaser Fundamental Representations”) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect indefinitely, and (b) the representations and warranties in Sections 3.11, 3.13, and 3.15 shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the date that is 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

8.4 Limitations on Indemnification. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 is subject to the following limitations:

(a) Seller shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Losses with respect to the matters described in Section 8.2(a) unless such Losses exceed an aggregate amount equal to $20,000 (the “Threshold Amount”) and Seller’s total liability to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Losses with respect to the matters described in Section 8.2(a) shall not exceed the Cap. Once the Threshold Amount is met, Seller shall then be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for all Losses, including the Threshold Amount. The Threshold Amount and the Cap shall not apply to Losses resulting from, arising out of or related to any breach or inaccuracy of any Seller Fundamental Representation, Tax Claim, IP Claim or any fraud by Seller or the Company.

(b) Purchaser shall not be liable to Seller for any Losses with respect to the matters described in Section 8.3(a) unless such Losses exceed an aggregate amount equal to the Threshold Amount and Purchaser’s total liability to Seller for any Losses with respect to the matters described in Section 8.3(a) shall not exceed the Cap. Once the Threshold Amount is met, Purchaser shall then be liable to Seller for all Losses, including the Threshold Amount. The Threshold Amount and the Cap shall not apply to Losses resulting from, arising out of or related to any breach or inaccuracy of any Purchaser Fundamental Representation or any fraud by Purchaser.

(c) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds (less the sum of any out all costs and expenses incurred in recovering such insurance proceeds and any increased premiums related to or arising out of such claim) and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the Indemnified Party (or the Company) in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

(d) “Material Adverse Effect,” “materiality,” and other similar qualifiers contained in any representations or warranties or in any defined term used herein shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach and calculating the amount of Losses resulting therefrom in connection with any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3.

(e) Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any obligations under, or liabilities in respect of, Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 following the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 8.1; provided that any claim for indemnity made by a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller, as the case may be, under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 in accordance with the terms of this Article 8 prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period will survive beyond the date of such expiration until such claim is finally and conclusively resolved.

8.5 Third-Party Claim Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If any written claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party may have liability to any Indemnified Party hereunder, is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than ten days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Third-Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable, any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto, a reasonably detailed explanation of the events giving rise to such Third-Party Claim and any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided that the failure to timely give a Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly following the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim.

(b) In connection with any claim which may give rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of a Third-Party Claim solely for money damages, the Indemnifying Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, may, upon written notice given to the Indemnified Party, and assume the defense of any such claim or Action; provided that prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must (i) acknowledge that it would have an indemnity obligation for the Losses resulting from such Third-Party Claim as provided under this Article 8 and (ii) furnish the Indemnified Party with a written statement that Seller does not reasonably believe that the Losses resulting from such Third-Party Claim would exceed the number of Holdback Shares available to offset the Losses pursuant to Section 8.8. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or Action, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel to conduct the defense of such claims or legal proceedings and, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, shall take all steps it deems necessary or appropriate in the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense.

The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable commercial efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

Each Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller shall assert any claim on account of any Losses which do not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) by giving the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof reasonably promptly (and, in any event, no later than 30 days following the Indemnified Party’s discovery of the applicable Losses reasonably likely to give rise to a claim under this Article 8).

8.8 Payment of Indemnification Obligation; Release of Holdback Cash and Holdback Shares.

(a) Upon a final determination of an indemnification claim made by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller, as the case may be, whether such final determination is by reason of (a) a failure of the Indemnifying Party to timely object to an Claim Notice or Direct Claim, (b) the mutual agreement of the Indemnifying Party and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller, as the case may be, (c) a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction which is either not subject to any further appeals or the time for giving notice to take such appeals has lapsed and no such notice was filed or (d) a resolution of a Tax Claim (each a “Final Determination”), then the amount of the Losses stated in such Final Determination shall be due and payable by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) If a claim for indemnification made by Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party (in either case, acting in good faith) remains outstanding as of the Holdback Release Date, then (i) such Purchaser Indemnified Party’s right to recourse with respect to such unresolved claim shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of such unresolved claim, (ii) such claim shall survive after the Holdback Release Date until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved and (iii) a number of Holdback Shares equal to the deemed value of such unresolved claim divided by the greater of (A) the closing price per share of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (as reported on Bloomberg or, if not reported thereby, another alternative source as reasonably agreed by Seller and Purchaser) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date such claim is fully and finally determined or (B) the VWAP will not be issued pursuant to Section 8.8(c) and will continue to be eligible for set off and reduction until such claim is fully and finally resolved. Upon the final resolution of such claim, including the reduction in the Holdback Shares pursuant to Section 8.8(b), Purchaser shall issue to Seller the Holdback Shares not so reduced under this Section 8.8.

The parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.11 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement except as provided below. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by Seller or Purchaser (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s rights to purchase the Membership Interests and Purchaser’s rights to seek indemnification hereunder) to any Affiliate of Purchaser.

10.17 Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a) Purchaser and Seller agree that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have the right to assert the attorney-client privilege as to pre-Closing and post-Closing communications between Seller or the Company (for the Company, only with respect to pre-Closing Date communications), on the one hand, and Dentons Durham ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ P.C. (the “Firm”), on the other hand, to the extent that the privileged communications relate to this Agreement or any of the ancillary agreements or to the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties agree that only Seller shall be entitled to assert or waive such attorney-client privilege in connection with such communications following the Closing Date. The files generated and maintained by the Firm as a result of the Firm’s representation of the Company in connection with this Agreement or any of the ancillary agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be and become the exclusive property of Seller and shall be segregated from the Firm’s files related to all other elements of its representation of the Company prior to the Closing Date (which shall remain the property of the Company). The attorney-client privilege may be waived on behalf of Seller only by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. The foregoing shall not extend to (i) any communication unrelated to this Agreement, any of the ancillary agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) communications between Seller or the Company, on the one hand, and any Person other than the Firm, on the other hand, or (iii) any post-Closing Date communications between the Company and the Firm or any other legal counsel.

(b) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, shareholders, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that:

(i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP has acted as counsel to Seller and its Affiliates (not including the Company) (collectively, the “Seller Group”) and the Company, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser agrees, and shall cause the Company to agree, that, following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, such representation and any prior representation of the Company by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (or any successor) (the “Seller Group Law Firm”) shall not preclude Seller Group Law Firm from serving as counsel to the Seller Group or any director, member, shareholder, partner, officer, or employee of the Seller Group, in connection with any litigation, claim, or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(ii) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, seek or have Seller Group Law Firm disqualified from any such representation based on the prior representation of the Company by Seller Group Law Firm. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising from such prior representation, and each of such parties shall cause any of its Affiliates to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. Each of the parties acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection herewith. The covenants, consent and waiver contained in this Section 10.17(b) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Seller Group Law Firm is entitled whether pursuant to law, contract, or otherwise.

(iii) All communications prior to Closing between the Seller Group or the Company, on the one hand, and Seller Group Law Firm, on the other hand, relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client privileged and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall survive Closing, and from and after Closing shall belong solely to the Seller Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or the Company. Accordingly, Purchaser and the Company shall not have access to any Privileged Communications or to the files of Seller Group Law Firm relating to such engagement from and after Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (i) the Seller Group (and not Purchaser or the Company) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such Privileged Communications, and none of Purchaser or the Company shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Seller Group Law Firm in respect of such Privileged Communications constitute property of the client, only the Seller Group (and not Purchaser nor the Company) shall hold such property rights and (iii) Seller Group Law Firm shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Privileged Communications to Purchaser or the Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Seller Group Law Firm and the Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that after Closing a dispute arises between Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company), on the one hand, and a third party other than any of the Seller Group, on the other hand, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company) may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Seller Group, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
