1.6.2 The Seller and their accountants shall complete their review of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Closing Statement within thirty (30) days after delivery thereof by Buyer. During such review period, Buyer shall provide the Seller with access to all books and records and any work papers used by Buyer to prepare the Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Closing Statement and to Buyer’s personnel involved in preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Closing Statement, as reasonably requested by the Seller to review the Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Closing Statement. If the Seller objects to the Closing Balance Sheet or the Final Closing Statement for any reason, the Seller shall, on or before the last day of such thirty (30) day period, so inform Buyer in writing (a “Seller’s Objection”), setting forth (i) each item and amount, along with a specific description of the basis of each of the Seller individual adjustments and the adjustments to the Closing Balance Sheet or the Final Closing Statement that the Seller should be made and (ii) on the basis thereof, the Seller’s calculation of the Cash Purchase Price. Those balances in which there are no objection items specifically identified on the Seller’s Objection received by Buyer on or before the last day of such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed agreed, final and binding on the parties in the absence of fraud or willful misconduct by the Seller or the Buyer with respect to the Company’s operations or the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, books or records. If a Seller’s Objection is not received by Buyer on or before the last day of such thirty (30) day period, all items described on the Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Closing Statement delivered by Buyer to the Seller shall be deemed agreed, final and binding on the parties in the absence of fraud or willful misconduct by the Seller or the Buyer with respect to the Company’s operations or the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, books or records. Buyer shall be permitted to review the supporting schedules, analyses, work papers and other documentation with respect to the Seller’s Objections. If Seller or Buyer claims that the Seller or Buyer has failed to comply with his obligations under this Section 1.6.2 to provide access to supporting schedules, analyses, work papers and other documentation, the Seller or Buyer, as applicable, may initiate the appointment of the CPA Firm pursuant to Section 1.6.3. The CPA Firm shall have the authority to determine if the Seller or Buyer, as applicable, has complied with the obligations to provide access and to order the Seller or Buyer, respectively to comply with any such obligations.

1.6.3 If the Seller timely delivers a Seller’s Objection to Buyer and the Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the proposed adjustments set forth in the Seller’s Objection within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Seller’s Objection, then they shall, within five (5) days thereafter, jointly retain the CPA Firm; provided that if the CPA Firm is unable to serve as the CPA Firm for any reason whatsoever, including for reasons of conflict of interest, the Seller and Buyer shall, within five (5) days thereafter, jointly retain another accounting firm mutually acceptable to them to act as the CPA Firm for purposes of this Agreement; and the Seller and Buyer cannot agree on such mutually acceptable CPA Firm, a CPA Firm shall be selected in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association), which shall determine, on the basis set forth in and in accordance with this Section 1.6, and only with respect to those items in the Seller’s Objection on which Buyer and the Seller have not agreed, whether and to what extent, if any, the Cash Purchase Price requires adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.6. Buyer and the Seller shall instruct the CPA Firm to deliver its written determination to Buyer and the Seller in accordance with Exhibit F; provided that any delay in delivering such determination or failure by the CPA Firm to follow such procedures shall not invalidate the award or otherwise deprive the CPA Firm of jurisdiction. Buyer and the Seller and/or their respective agents will execute and deliver any engagement letter reasonably requested by the CPA Firm and cooperate with the CPA Firm during its resolution of any disagreements included in the Seller’s Objection. At the time of retention of the CPA Firm, the Seller and Buyer shall proceed in accordance with the provisions set forth on Exhibit F. In resolving any disputed item, the CPA Firm may not assign a value to any disputed item that is greater than the greatest value claimed for the item by either Seller or Buyer in its Initial Report (as defined in Exhibit F) or, if applicable, its Rebuttal Report (as defined in Exhibit F) or less than the smallest value claimed for the item by either Seller or Buyer in its Initial Report or, if applicable, its Rebuttal Report. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the CPA Firm is limited to whether the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Actual Net Working Capital were done accurately and on an accrual basis in a manner consistent with GAAP and otherwise in accordance with this Section 1.6, and the CPA Firm is not to make any other determination unless jointly requested in writing by the Seller and Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any disputes regarding the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Actual Net Working Capital shall be resolved solely and exclusively as set forth in this Section 1.6 in the absence of fraud or willful misconduct by the Buyer or the Seller with respect to the Company’s operations or the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, books or records. The findings and determinations of the CPA Firm as set forth in its written report shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding upon the parties and shall not be subject to collateral attack for any reason in the absence of fraud or willful misconduct of the Buyer or the Seller with respect to the Company’s operations or the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, books or records. The Seller and Buyer shall be entitled to have a judgment entered on such written report in any court of competent jurisdiction. The fees, expenses and other charges or disbursements of or reimbursements to the CPA Firm and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the parties relating to the disputes submitted to the CPA Firm (collectively, the “Purchase Price Dispute Expenses”) shall be borne (a) by the Seller in that proportion equal to a fraction (expressed as a percentage) the numerator of which is equal to the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Seller (as finally determined by the CPA Firm) and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate dollar amount of all disputed items and (B) by Buyer, in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items that are successfully disputed by the Seller (as finally determined by the CPA Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all disputed items. For example, if the parties dispute $10,000 of a proposed adjustment to be paid by the Seller, the CPA Firm determines that such adjustment should be $6,000 and the Purchase Price Dispute Expenses are $1,000, then (A) Buyer shall pay $400 (40%) of the Purchase Price Dispute Expenses and (B) the Seller pay $600 (60%) of the Purchase Price Dispute Expenses. Buyer, the Seller and the Seller Owner shall cooperate with the CPA Firm during its resolution of the disagreement and make readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant books and records and any work papers (including those of the parties’ respective external accountants, to the extent permitted by such external accountants) relating to the Closing Balance Sheet, the Final Closing Statement and the Seller’s Objection and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm in connection therewith. If the Seller or Seller Owner does not cooperate with the CPA Firm in resolving the dispute or fails to comply with any dispute resolution procedures set forth herein, then all items described on the Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Closing Statement as delivered by Buyer to the Seller shall be deemed agreed, final and binding on the parties.

1.6.4 The Closing Balance Sheet and the Actual Net Working Capital, as agreed to (or deemed to have been agreed to) between Buyer and the Seller or as determined by the CPA Firm, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto and shall be deemed the “Final Closing Balance Sheet,” and the “Final Net Working Capital,” respectively, for all purposes of this Agreement.

(a) Upon completion of the calculation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Net Working Capital in accordance with this Section 1.6 (such date of completion, the “Settlement Date”), the Cash Purchase Price shall be recalculated (the “Final Cash Purchase Price”) using the Final Net Working Capital (rather than the Estimated Net Working Capital) and the following adjustments shall be made (the “Purchase Price Adjustment”):

(i) If the Final Cash Purchase Price exceeds the Cash Purchase Price calculated pursuant to Section 1.4.1, then within two (2) Business Days after the Settlement Date an amount equal to such difference shall be paid to the Seller by Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller in writing.

(ii) If the Final Cash Purchase Price is less than the Cash Purchase Price calculated pursuant to Section 1.4.1, then within two (2) Business Days after the Settlement Date an amount equal to such difference shall be paid to Buyer, by the Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer in writing.

1.7 Closing.

The closing of the Contemplated Transactions under this Agreement (the “Closing”) is taking place simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”). All deliveries by one party to any other party at the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously and none shall be effective until and unless all have occurred. By agreement of the parties, the Closing may take place by delivery of documents required to be delivered hereby by facsimile or other electronic transmission.

1.8.1 In addition to the Cash Purchase Price, and as additional consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Shares and Purchased Assets, Buyer shall, within thirty (30) days after the end of the Earn-Out Period (as defined below), pay to the Seller, in cash by wire transfer to an account designated by the Seller in writing, a contingent payment (the “Earn-Out Payment”) as determined pursuant to this Section 1.8 at the times, in the manner and to the extent the Earn-Out Payments are earned pursuant to the following terms:

(a) if, during the Earn-Out Period, the Buyer’s EBITDA with respect to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares is equal to or greater than Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000), and the Buyer’s revenue with respect to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares is greater than Thirty-Six Million Dollars ($36,000,000), then the Buyer shall pay to the Seller, the difference between such revenue during the Earn-Out Period and Thirty-Six Million Dollars ($36,000,000), up to a maximum of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) (“Base Earnout”). For the avoidance of doubt, if such EBITDA is less than Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000), then no Base Earnout shall be paid pursuant to this Section 1.8.1(a), except as specifically outlined in Section 1.8.1(c) below;

(b) if, during the Earn-Out Period, the Buyer’s EBITDA with respect to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares is equal to or greater than Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000), and the Buyer’s revenue with respect to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares is greater than Forty-Eight Million Dollars ($48,000,000), then, in addition to the Base Earnout, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the difference between the Company’s revenue during the Earn-Out Period and Forty-Eight Million Dollars ($48,000,000), up to a maximum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (“Additional Earnout”). For the avoidance of doubt, if such EBITDA is less than Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000), then no Additional Earnout shall be paid pursuant to this Section 1.8.1(b); and

(c) if, during the Earn-Out Period, the Buyer’s EBITDA with respect to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares is greater than Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,750,000) and is less than Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000), and the Buyer’s revenue with respect to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares is greater than Thirty-Six Million Dollars ($36,000,000), then Buyer shall pay the Base Earnout to the Seller calculated in accordance with Section 1.8.1(a), except that the Base Earnout shall be proportionately reduced by the percentage shortfall of the Buyer’s EBITDA with respect to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares to Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000). For the avoidance of doubt, if the EBITDA for the Earn-Out Period is less than Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,750,000), no Base Earnout Payment shall be due.

1.8.2 For purposes of this Section 1.8, “Earn-Out Period” shall mean the eighteen (18) month period commencing on June 1, 2021.

1.8.3 For purposes of this Section 1.8, “EBITDA” means for the Earn-Out Period the sum of (a) the net income or loss generated by the Buyer’s operations as they exist on the Closing Date with respect to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares and as they may grow or contract after the Closing Date in the normal course of business through internal growth and not through acquisitions or other extraordinary or nonrecurring transactions made by Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates or other extraordinary transactions (the “Existing Operations”), as reflected in the EO Financial Statements for the Earn-Out Period, after deduction of all of SRS’ costs, expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other proper charges (including, without limitation, (i) the cost of any bonuses or incentive payments earned with respect to the applicable period (excluding any Earn-Out Payment), (ii) the value of any equity granted to employees of SRS, or other derivative securities granted during the applicable period, valued consistently with SRS’ accounting policy and (iii) all interest and amortization with respect to the Debt with respect to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares, including all Debt reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet, if any), plus (b) all (i) interest expense, (ii) federal, state, or local income taxes and state franchise taxes to the extent based upon net income and not revenue (including any payments under tax-sharing arrangements with Buyer or its Affiliates), (iii) depreciation expense, (iv) amortization expense and (v) any non-cash impairment charges, in each case of (i) through (v) as attributable to the Existing Operations, but only to the extent deducted in determining the amount in clause (a). For the avoidance of doubt, EBITDA shall exclude gains arising from the change in the fair market value of any earn-out liability. For the determination of EBITDA, Buyer will cause to be prepared for the Earn-Out Period a set of financial statements reflecting the results of operations of SRS with respect to the combined Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares (“EO Financial Statements”). For clarity, Buyer and its Affiliates now own and, in the future, will own other businesses, and the results of those businesses shall not be included in the EBITDA. In addition, any salaries paid for work performed by Buyer’s offshore operations with respect to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares shall be considered to have a cost of zero dollars ($0.00), and any salaries paid for work performed by U.S.-based employees of Buyer, its parent, or affiliates with respect to SRS shall be charged based on the fraction of their time actually spent supporting SRS. The EO Financial Statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP on an accrual basis.

1.8.4 Following the Closing Date, Buyer will operate SRS and use the Purchased Assets during the period for which the Seller is entitled to earn Earn-Out Payments based upon the reasonable business requirements of Buyer so long as such changes are not made in bad faith for the principal purpose of reducing amounts that otherwise would be payable to the Seller. Buyer shall, through the end of the Earn-Out Period, maintain separate accounting books and records during such period. During the period beginning at the Closing and ending at the end of the Earn-Out Period, Buyer agrees to operate the Business in good faith, in a manner not intentionally designed to reduce or eliminate the amount of the Earn-Out Payments, but with due regard for practical business considerations, provided that the Buyer has no obligation to maximize the amount of any Earn-Out Payment.

1.8.5 Limited Transferability of Earn-Out. Without Buyer’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion, Seller’s right to receive Earn-Out Payments, if any, are personal to Seller and shall not, in whole or in part, be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed, pledged or encumbered or have Encumbrances created with respect to it; provided, however, that Buyer acknowledges that the Seller, SRC and SureTest are party to the Proceeds Agreement, pursuant to which a certain portion of the Earn-Out Payment, if any, shall be paid to SRC by Seller and/or Seller Owner. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all payments to SRC are the sole responsibility and obligation of Seller and/or Seller Owner, and SRC is not an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

1.8.6 Offset of Earn-Out Payment. The Buyer shall have the right to set off against the Earn-Out Payment earned by or payable to the Seller against any claim for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 5; provided that, the Buyer shall only exercise such set off described in the preceding sentence after giving effect to any applicable indemnity basket contemplated in Section 5.6. In addition, it is the intent of the parties that an Earn-Out Payment to the Seller may be suspended for such periods during which (i) the Seller or Seller Owner is not in compliance with their obligations pursuant to Section 4.2, or (ii) any of SRC, SureTest or their principals and affiliates are not in compliance with their respective non-compete/non-solicitation obligations under the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement dated as of June 1, 2021 by and among SRC, SureTest, and Buyer, among others (which agreement, for purposes of this Agreement, shall be deemed a Seller Agreement). Accordingly, should any such breach occur following the Closing Date (each, a “Restrictive Covenant Breach”), then during the continuance of such Restrictive Covenant Breach (the “Noncompliance Period”), the Buyer shall have the right to set off against the Earn-Out Payment earned by or payable to the Seller, the amount of the actual provable damages sustained by Buyer on account of the Restrictive Covenant Breach. At the end of each Noncompliance Period, if any, Buyer shall pay Seller any amounts not otherwise subject to set off as set forth herein.

1.9 Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the cash otherwise payable under this Agreement to the Seller to the extent that Buyer reasonably determines that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such payments under the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such amounts shall be remitted to the proper Governmental Authority and such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to the Seller in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

The Seller and Seller Owner further expressly agree and acknowledge that: (a) the confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition covenants contained in this Agreement (i) are reasonable and necessary for the protection of Buyer with respect to the covenants’ respective stated purposes, time, scope and geographic area, and are supported by adequate consideration, (ii) are necessary for the protection of Buyer’s legitimate business interests, including the Trade Secrets, goodwill and relationships with customers and suppliers purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) are not unduly restrictive of any rights of the Seller or Seller Owner; (b) the Seller and Seller Owner have sufficient employment or business alternatives and sufficient assets, taking into account the Purchase Price and other consideration received and to be received, directly or indirectly, by the Seller and Seller Owner, such that the Seller and Seller Owner do not have to compete with SRS or Buyer or impermissibly use any of the Company’s confidential, proprietary or Trade Secret information described in this Agreement in order to earn a living; and (c) in entering into and negotiating this Agreement and the terms hereof, there has been no disparity in bargaining power between the parties and the Seller and Seller Owner have been represented by counsel and fully understand the terms hereof. The existence of any claim or cause of action against Buyer or its Affiliates by Seller or Seller’s Affiliates, whether predicated on Buyer’s breach of this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Buyer of the covenants contained in this Section 4. The Seller and Seller Owner acknowledge and agree that a portion of the Purchase Price may be allocated as consideration for the covenants set forth in this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller and Seller Owner acknowledge that Buyer would not have entered into the Contemplated Transactions without the covenants set forth in this Section 4; and if any covenant set forth in this Section 4 is breached by the Seller or Seller Owner, the Seller and Seller Owner acknowledge and agree that such allocation shall not be deemed to be a measure of the damages that would result from such a breach, and the Seller and Seller Owner agree that at no time shall they argue or in any way assert in any Action that such consideration is a measure of the damages resulting from such breach.

4.2.3 Injunction. The Seller and Seller Owner agree that a violation of the terms, provisions, obligations, duties and conditions described in this Agreement will cause irreparable damage to Buyer for which money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the Seller and Seller Owner acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by them of any of their covenants or obligations set forth in this Section 4, Buyer shall be entitled, in any court in the United States or otherwise having jurisdiction, to an injunction or injunctions, without the posting of any bond or the proving of actual damages, to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Section 4, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Section 4 to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of this Section 4. The Seller and Seller Owner hereby agree not to challenge the enforceability of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 4 or raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Section 4, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Section 4 to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Seller and Seller Owner under this Section 4. The Seller and Seller Owner further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 4.2.3, Buyer shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available under this Agreement (including monetary damages) or applicable Law and (y) nothing set forth in this Section 4.2.3 shall require Buyer to institute any Action for (or limit Buyer’s right to institute any Action for) specific performance under this Section 4.2.3 prior or as a condition to exercising any rights under Section 5 or otherwise, nor shall the commencement of any Action pursuant to this Section 4.2.3 or anything set forth in this Section 4.2.3 restrict or limit Buyer’s right to pursue any other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise that may be available to Buyer thereafter. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event Buyer institutes an Action to enforce the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 4 in a forum other than a forum identified in Section 7.14, Buyer may elect to pursue all other remedies (including damages) available to it based on the same set of facts and circumstances in the forum chosen for the injunctive relief Action or it may elect to pursue its damages and other non-injunction remedies in a forum set forth in Section 7.14 and in no event shall Buyer’s election be deemed a waiver of its rights or remedies or allow Seller or Seller Owner (or any of their respective Affiliates) to institute an action in any forum except as specified in Section 7.14.

4.2.4 Severability. If any covenant or restriction contained in this Section 4, or any part thereof, is hereafter construed or found to be invalid or unenforceable in part or in whole, this shall not affect the remainder of the covenants or restrictions, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid or unenforceable portions, and any court having jurisdiction shall enforce such invalid or unenforceable covenant or restriction to the maximum extent possible under applicable Law, including the maximum permissible time, scope and geographic area for such covenant or restriction. The parties intend that the covenants in Section 4.2.1 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one (1) for each and every county in each and every state within the Territory.

4.3 Cooperation Regarding Financial Statements and Accounts Receivable.

4.3.1 The Seller and Seller Owner shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the efforts of Buyer and its accountants and auditors to prepare and audit/review any financial statements (including pro forma financial statements) that Buyer will be required to prepare, file or furnish pursuant to any applicable securities Laws or exchange requirements, including the 1933 Act, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and any rules or regulations of the NASDAQ or other stock exchange, or under any other applicable Laws.

5. INDEMNIFICATION.

5.1 Indemnification by the Seller and Seller Owner. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 5, from and after the Closing, the Seller and Seller Owner (the “Seller Indemnifying Person”), without any right of indemnification (including in regard to the status of Seller Owner as a director, officer or employee of the Company) or contribution from SRS, will, jointly and severally, assume liability for and will indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, SRS), and the Representatives and Affiliates of each of the foregoing Persons (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Person” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”), from, against and in respect of any and all Losses accrued, incurred or suffered by Buyer Indemnified Persons or any of them (including any Losses accrued, sustained, arising or incurred after the end of the applicable survival period, provided that a claim is made prior to the end of the applicable survival period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) as a result of, arising out of or directly or indirectly relating to:

5.1.1 any misrepresentations and breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by the Seller or Seller Owner in this Agreement or by the Seller or Seller Owner in any certificate delivered by the Seller at Closing or any other Seller Agreement;

5.1.2 any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of the Seller or Seller Owner contained in this Agreement or any Seller Agreement;

5.1.8 the Company’s Debt; or

5.1.9 any alleged misclassifications of employees as contractors by a Governmental Authority or other third parties.

5.2 Materiality and Knowledge. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the amount of any Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification or reimbursement hereunder (but not for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach), each representation and warranty in this Agreement and the schedules and exhibits hereto shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any Materiality Qualifier or any Knowledge Qualifier contained in such representation or warranty (as if such word or words were deleted from such representation or warranty).

5.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 5, from and after Closing, the Buyer will assume liability for and will indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless the Seller, Seller Owner and their Affiliates, and the Representatives and Affiliates of each of the foregoing Persons (each, a “Seller Indemnified Person”), from, against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred or suffered by Seller Indemnified Persons or any of them as a result of, arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly:

5.3.1 any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or any Buyer Agreement; or

5.3.2 any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Seller Agreements to which Buyer is a party;

5.3.3 the Assumed Liabilities; or

5.3.4 the Net Working Capital Excess of SRS or the Seller or the failure to make the Earn-Out Payments.

5.4 Time for Claims. No claim may be made or suit instituted seeking indemnification pursuant to Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.3, or 5.3.1 unless a written notice describing such breach or inaccuracy in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to the Indemnified Person, is provided to the Indemnifying Person within eighteen (18) months of the Closing Date except that (i) claims for a breach of the Fundamental Representations or Actual Fraud shall survive forever (subject to any applicable statute of limitations); and (ii) claims for Tax Losses shall survive the Closing until the ninetieth (90^th) day following the end of the applicable statutes of limitations.

5.4.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time prior to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the day of the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 5.4 with respect to any particular indemnity obligation, any Indemnified Person delivers to any Indemnifying Person a written notice alleging the existence of an inaccuracy in or a breach of such representation or warranty and asserting a claim for Losses pursuant to Sections 5.1 or 5.3 regardless of whether litigation is commenced or a complaint in litigation is filed at such time in accordance with Section 7.14 or otherwise, then the representations, warranties and covenants which are specifically alleged by the Party seeking indemnification to have been breached and the right to commence a proceeding in respect thereof shall survive until such claim is finally and fully resolved in accordance with this Agreement and the Losses for which an Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover under this Agreement in connection with any such claim shall include any Losses accrued, incurred, suffered or arising on or after the expiration of the applicable survival period until such claim is fully and finally resolved.

5.5 Third Party Claims.

5.5.1 Notice of Claim. If any third party notifies an Indemnified Person with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to an Indemnity Claim against an Indemnifying Person under this Section 5, then the Indemnified Person will give written notice to the Indemnifying Person with respect to such Indemnity Claim within twenty (20) days of learning of such claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Person in notifying the Indemnifying Person will relieve the Indemnifying Person from any obligation under this Section 5, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person has suffered actual prejudice thereby.

5.5.2 Assumption of Defense. An Indemnifying Person will have the right to defend the Indemnified Person against a Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person so long as (A) the Indemnifying Person notifies the Indemnified Person, in writing within 30 days after the Indemnified Person has given notice of the Third Party Claim, that the Indemnifying Person will defend the Indemnified Person against the Third Party Claim, (B) the Third Party Claim involves only monetary damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, and (C) the Indemnifying Person properly conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim.

5.5.3 Limitations on Indemnifying Person. The Indemnifying Person will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, unless such judgment, compromise or settlement (a) provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Person of money as sole relief for the claimant, (b) results in the full and general release of all Buyer Indemnified Persons or Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable, from all Liabilities arising or relating to, or in connection with, the Third Party Claim and (c) involves no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or the rights of any Person and has no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person.

5.5.4 Indemnified Person’s Control. So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably).

5.5.5 Reasonable Cooperation. The party not in control of the prosecution or defense of a Third Party Claim will reasonably cooperate with the other party in the conduct of the prosecution or defense of such Third Party Claim.

5.6 Indemnity Basket. No Indemnified Person shall seek indemnification under Section 5.1 or 5.3 until the amount of Losses claimed by such Indemnified Person plus all other Buyer Indemnified Persons or Seller Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, exceeds $50,000 in the aggregate (the “Basket”). Once exceeded, the Indemnifying Party will be liable for the amount of the indemnification obligation in excess of $50,000 to the extent liability is agreed or adjudicated.

5.7 Indemnity Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnifying Person shall have any Liability or indemnification obligations under this Agreement in excess of the sum of (a) the Earn-Out Payment and (b) $1,000,000 of the funds held in escrow pursuant to Section 1.5.2; provided that, the foregoing indemnification cap shall not apply to indemnification obligations with respect to claims for breaches of the Fundamental Representations, Actual Fraud and Retained Liabilities.

5.8 No Special Damages; Mitigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnifying Person shall have any indemnification obligations under this Agreement for any special, consequential or punitive damages, provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to or in any way limit any indemnification obligations with respect to Third Party Claims. Each Indemnified Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses associated with an Indemnity Claim, respectively, that such Indemnified Person asserts under this Section 5.

5.9 Right of Setoff. Upon notice to the Seller or Seller Owner specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, Buyer may setoff any amount to which it may be entitled from the Seller or Seller Owner against any amount owed by Buyer, including the Earn-Out Payments. The exercise of such right of setoff by Buyer, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default or breach under this Agreement or any other agreement between Buyer, or any of its Affiliates and Seller, Seller Owner or any of their Affiliates. Neither the exercise nor failure to exercise such right of setoff will constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to them.

5.10 Insurance. The amount of any Indemnity Claim, as applicable, shall be net of any amounts actually received by the applicable Indemnified Person under any insurance policy in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification hereunder; provided, that the amount deemed to be paid under such insurance policies shall be net of the deductible for such policies. Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover all amounts payable from an insurer under any such insurance policy, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.10 shall prevent a Party from asserting an Indemnity Claim under this Agreement prior to or concurrently with seeking any applicable insurance recoveries in connection with such claim.

5.11 Exclusive Remedy. Except for the remedies available to Buyer in respect of the pursuit of equitable remedies under Section 4.2.3 of this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 5. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their affiliates and each of their respective representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Section 5.

5.12 Time of Payment of Claims. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5, any amount owing by any Person pursuant to this Section 5 shall be paid within two (2) Business Days after determination of such amount and upon notice to the Seller or Seller Owner specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor.

5.13 Purchase Price Adjustment. Payments received by any party pursuant to this Section 5 shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

5.14 No Double Recovery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no party shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under any provision of this Agreement for any amount to the extent that such party has been indemnified or reimbursed for such amount pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement.

5.15 No Right of Contribution. The Seller and Seller Owner hereby waive, acknowledge and agree that they shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which Seller or Seller Owner may become subject under this Agreement or any of the Seller Agreements.

5.16 Allocation of Purchase Price Is Not Agreement of Losses. Notwithstanding the fact that the parties have determined that the allocation of the Purchase Price reflects the fair market value of the respective categories of the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares and the covenants set forth in Section 4, the parties agree that the respective allocations among such categories and covenants is not an agreement of the Losses that would be incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Persons if Seller or Seller Owner breaches (a) any of Seller’s or Seller Owner’s representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein relating to any category of Assets or (b) such covenant. Each of the parties agrees that at no time will such party argue or in any way assert in any Action that the respective allocations among the categories of the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares and the covenants set forth in Section 4 reflect the parties’ agreement of the measure of Losses that would result from any breach of this Agreement.

6. TAX MATTERS

6.1 Covenants With Respect To Taxes.

6.1.1 Buyer agrees to retain or cause to be retained all books and records pertinent to the Purchased Assets and SRS (including Tax Returns) for Pre-Closing Periods until the applicable period for assessment under applicable Law (giving effect to any applicable extensions or waivers) has expired, and to abide by or cause such abidance with all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority with respect to Pre-Closing Periods. Buyer agrees to give (or cause to be given to) the Seller reasonable notice prior to transferring, discarding or destroying any such books and records relating to Tax matters and, if the Seller so requests, the Company will allow the Seller to take possession of such books and records. The Seller, Seller Owner and Buyer will cooperate as reasonably requested by the other party in the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and responding to and resolving inquiries, audits, claims, actions or similar proceedings by any Taxing Authority (a “Tax Claim”) in each case relating to Taxes of the Company for a Pre-Closing Period, including the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney and other reasonably necessary materials. Any information obtained pursuant to this Section or pursuant to any other Section hereof providing for the sharing of information or review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes shall be kept confidential by the parties hereto, except as necessary to be disclosed in connection with such return, audit or examination, refund claim, proceedings or determination.

6.1.2 The Seller will prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, any income Tax Return with respect to the Company for Pre-Closing Periods consistent with past practices. Seller shall permit Buyer ten (10) days to review and comment on each such Tax Returns prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Buyer. Buyer shall timely prepare all other Tax Returns with respect to SRS and the Purchased Assets required to be filed after the Closing Date.

6.1.3 Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller upon receipt by it of written notice from any Governmental Authority of any Tax Claim with respect to the Taxes of the Company or Buyer for which the Seller is reasonably likely to be liable. The Seller shall have fifteen (15) days following its receipt of notice from Buyer of such a Tax Claim to elect in writing (through delivery of such written election to Buyer) to control (at the Seller’s cost and expense) any such Tax Claim that relates to a Pre-Closing Period; provided, however, that if such Tax Claim could create a liability for Taxes for which SRS or the Buyer may be liable (through successor liability or otherwise), Buyer will have the right to participate in the conduct of the Tax Claim and the Tax Claim may not be settled without the prior written consent of the Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.1.4 Neither Buyer nor any Affiliate of Buyer will, with respect to the Company (i) take any voluntary action (including following Closing on the Closing Date), (ii) make, revoke or modify any Tax election, (iii) make any voluntary disclosure or provide notice to (except in response to an information document request or other formal inquiry by) a Governmental Authority in regard to any Pre-Closing Period Tax in a jurisdiction in which the Company was not paying such Tax or filing Tax Returns prior to Closing without the prior written consent of the Seller, or (iv) file an election under Internal Revenue Code Section 338(h)(10) and any similar provision under applicable state or local law with respect to the transactions set forth herein. Buyer and its Affiliates will pay and indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates against any Taxes of the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller resulting from any such action or election by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer.

6.1.5 Any Tax refund that is received by the Company after the Closing, and any amount credited against Tax to which the Company becomes entitled after the Closing, for or with respect to the Company for a Pre-Closing Period, will be for the account of the Seller, and Buyer will, or will cause the Company to, pay over to the Seller an amount equal to any such refund or credit within 15 days after receipt thereof or entitlement thereto.

6.1.6 The Seller and Seller Owner shall indemnify Buyer for any Taxes for a Pre-Closing Period that are imposed on SRS or Buyer by a Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction in which the Company was not previously paying such Tax or filing Tax Returns to the extent that such Taxes related to income Taxes attributable solely to the Company’s activities in such jurisdiction during a Pre-Closing Period, provided that, Seller and Seller Owner shall not have an indemnity obligation under this Section 6.1.6 to the extent of the amount that, (i) SRS or Buyer is entitled to an offsetting refund of such Taxes from another state, or (ii) when taken together with all indemnity payments made by the Seller and Seller Owner under this Section 6.1.6 exceeds $1,000,000.

6.1.7 Tax Contests.

(a) If a claim shall be made by any Governmental Authority that, if successful, would result in the indemnification of Buyer Indemnified Person, the Buyer Indemnified Person shall notify the Seller and Seller Owner in writing of that fact; provided, however, that any failure to give the notice will not waive any rights of the Buyer Indemnified Person.

(b) Buyer has the right, but not the obligation, to represent the interests of the Buyer Indemnified Person in defense of such claim, and has the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such claim, including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to such claim. If Buyer at any time determines not to control the defense of such claim, Buyer shall deliver written notice to the Seller and Seller Owner informing him of such decision and the Seller and Seller Owner shall defend the Buyer Indemnified Person. If the Buyer Indemnified Person is requested to pay the Tax claimed and ▇▇▇ for a refund, the Seller and Seller Owner shall advance to the Buyer Indemnified Person, on an interest free basis, the full amount the Buyer Indemnified Person is required to pay. The Seller and Seller Owner shall conduct the defense of all claims they are required to control pursuant hereto actively and diligently.
