Each of the Seller, the individual Seller Shareholders, the Company, the Buyer Parent and the Buyer is referred to as a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties.”

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Seller owns 100% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the Company (the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Seller desires to sell and the Buyer desires to purchase the Shares representing all of the outstanding Shares (such purchase is referred to as the “Acquisition”);

WHEREAS, the Seller Shareholders own 100% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the Seller;

WHEREAS, LRP IV Luxembourg Holdings S.A.R.L., LRP V Luxembourg Holdings S.A.R.L. and Oakall Management Limited, LLC own all of the issued and outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Capital Stock in the Seller (the “Seller Warrants”);

WHEREAS, certain Persons (the “Seller Optionholders”) own all of the issued and outstanding options to purchase shares of Capital Stock in the Seller (the “Seller Options”);

WHEREAS, certain Persons (the “Seller Phantom Unitholders”) own all of the issued and outstanding phantom units in the Seller (the “Seller Phantom Units”);

WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms of the Seller Options and this Agreement, the Seller Options shall be terminated at Closing; and

WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms of the Seller Phantom Units and this Agreement, the Seller Phantom Units shall be terminated at Closing.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

Article I
THE ACQUISITION

Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale of the Shares. At the Closing, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase and acquire from the Seller, all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to the Shares free and clear of all Liens other than Liens created by or on behalf of the Buyer.

Section 1.2 Purchase Price.

(a) The total consideration for the Shares (as may be adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, the “Total Consideration”) shall be equal to the sum of (x) the Aggregate Stock Closing Consideration, (y) the Seller’s Note and (z) the aggregate cash purchase price, as adjusted (the “Aggregate Cash Purchase Price”), which Aggregate Cash Purchase Price shall be equal to the sum of:

(i) $300,000,000;

(ii) plus an amount equal to the Working Capital Excess (or minus an amount equal to the Working Capital Deficit);

(iii) plus an amount equal to the Closing Cash;

(iv) minus an amount equal to the Closing Indebtedness (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid by the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.3(a)); and

(v) minus an amount equal to the Transaction Expenses (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid by the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.3(b)).

(b) At least five business days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Company (the “Estimated Aggregate Cash Closing Price Certificate”) setting forth the Seller’s good faith estimate of the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price (the “Estimated Aggregate Cash Purchase Price”), which shall include a reasonably detailed calculation of the good faith estimated amount, calculated in accordance with the worksheet attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Worksheet”), of (i) Closing Working Capital, (ii) Closing Cash, (iii) Closing Indebtedness, and (iv) Transaction Expenses. An amount equal to the Estimated Aggregate Cash Purchase Price shall be payable at the Closing as described in Section 1.3 below and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.4. Without limiting any of the Buyer’s other rights or remedies, the Buyer may object that any of the foregoing has not been calculated in a manner consistent with the terms hereof by delivering to the Seller a written notice of its disagreement at least two business days prior to the Closing Date (the “Buyer’s Notice of Disagreement”), specifying in reasonable detail the nature of its objections to the Estimated Aggregate Cash Purchase Price. The Seller and the Buyer in good faith shall seek to resolve any objections set forth in the Buyer’s Notice of Disagreement prior to the Closing, and the Seller shall make such revisions to the Estimated Aggregate Cash Closing Price Certificate as may be mutually agreed between the Seller and the Buyer; provided, that if and to the extent that the Buyer and the Seller have not resolved all such differences by the close of business on the business day prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Parties shall proceed to close based upon the Estimated Aggregate Cash Closing Price Certificate as prepared by the Seller (with such modifications as may have been mutually agreed between the Seller and the Buyer prior to the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 1.2) or as otherwise agreed to by the Seller and the Buyer before the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, any failure of the Buyer to raise any objection or dispute in the Buyer’s Notice of Disagreement shall not in any way prejudice Buyer’s right to raise any matter in the Closing Statement.

Section 1.3 Delivery of Aggregate Stock Closing Consideration, Payment of the Estimated Aggregate Cash Purchase Price and Other Amounts. At the Closing, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions specified in Article VI:

(a) On behalf of the Acquired Entities, and at the direction of the Seller, the Buyer shall deliver payment to the appropriate parties in respect of the Indebtedness of the Acquired Entities as of immediately prior to the Closing to be paid at Closing, if any, pursuant to payoff letters or invoices delivered by such parties to the Buyer and the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Seller.

(b) On behalf of the Acquired Entities, and at the direction of the Seller, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, deliver payment to the appropriate parties in respect of Transaction Expenses in the amounts indicated in writing by the Seller at or prior to the Closing, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the Seller. The Parties acknowledge that the Transaction Expenses are obligations of the Acquired Entities incurred on or before the Closing Date, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to make them obligations of the Buyer. Payment of such Transaction Expenses by the Buyer on behalf of the Acquired Entities on the Closing Date is being made for convenience only.

(c) The Buyer shall, or shall cause Buyer Parent to, issue and deliver the Aggregate Stock Closing Consideration and pay the Estimated Aggregate Cash Purchase Price as follows:

(i) The Buyer shall, or shall cause the Buyer Parent to, deliver to the Seller the Aggregate Stock Closing Consideration free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens arising under applicable securities Laws.

(ii) The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller an amount of cash equal to the aggregate of the Estimated Aggregate Cash Purchase Price by paying or causing to be paid to the Seller, by wire transfer or other delivery of immediately available funds to the account of the Seller (which shall be provided by the Seller to the Buyer at least two business days prior to the Closing Date).

(iii) The Buyer shall deliver to Seller the Seller’s Note.

(iv) The parties shall reasonably cooperate to provide that amounts due to the Seller Optionholders and the Seller Phantom Unitholders in respect of the termination of Seller Options or Seller Phantom Units, as applicable, shall be funded to the Company by the Seller from the Total Consideration received from the Buyer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, from any payment pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1.4(c)) and shall be paid by the Company, which shall cause such amounts to be paid, less any applicable Taxes, to the Seller Optionholder or Seller Phantom Unitholder, as applicable, through the Company’s payroll system.

(d) On behalf of the Acquired Entities, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, deliver payment to the appropriate parties in respect of the D&O Tail Premium, at or prior to the Closing, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds.

Section 1.4 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) The Parties agree that, so long as any distributions made are reflected in Closing Working Capital and in any adjustments to the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price under Section 1.4(c), the Seller shall have the right, at or prior to the Closing, to cause the Acquired Entities to distribute cash, accounts receivable and any other working capital items to the Seller or their Affiliates, by one or more dividends and/or other distributions.

(b) Within 90 calendar days following the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”), which shall include (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, (ii) a calculation of the total Working Capital of the Company determined in accordance with the Worksheet from such balance sheet (the “Closing Working Capital”), (iii) a calculation of the Working Capital Deficit or the Working Capital Excess, as the case may be, (iv) a calculation of Closing Cash, (v) a calculation of Closing Indebtedness, (vi) a calculation of Transaction Expenses and (vi) the Buyer’s determination of the final Aggregate Cash Purchase Price (the “Final Aggregate Cash Purchase Price”) resulting therefrom. The Seller shall have a period of 30 calendar days after delivery of the Closing Statement to review (and cause the Seller’s auditors to review) such documents and make any objections it may have in writing to the Buyer. For purposes of the Seller’s evaluation of the Closing Statement, the Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, make available or provide reasonable access to the Seller and its Representatives, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, all information, books, records, data and working papers created or used in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement; and shall permit reasonable access, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, to the facilities and personnel of the Acquired Entities as may be reasonably requested by the Seller and its Representatives to analyze the Closing Statement. If the Seller delivers written objections to the Buyer within such 30-day period, then the Buyer and the Seller shall attempt to resolve the matter or matters in dispute. If no written objections are made by the Seller within such 30-day period, then such Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If disputes with respect to such Closing Statement cannot be resolved by the Buyer and the Seller within 30 calendar days after timely delivery of any objections thereto, then, at the request of the Buyer or the Seller, the specific matters in dispute (but no others) shall be submitted to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm as may be approved by the Seller and the Buyer (the “Auditors”), which firm shall render its opinion as to such specific matters. If no such referral is made within 45 calendar days after the delivery of the objections, then such Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. The matters to be resolved by the Auditors shall be limited to the remaining unresolved disputes between the Buyer and the Seller. The Auditors shall promptly deliver to the Buyer and the Seller a written report setting forth their resolution of the disputes along with their determination of the Final Aggregate Cash Purchase Price, which determination shall be made in accordance with the Worksheet and the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement and shall be final and binding on the Parties. As to each disputed item, the Auditors shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the Buyer’s proposal, on the one hand, or the Seller’s proposal, on the other hand, and shall have no authority to select or propose to the Parties any resolution other than as set forth in one of such two proposals originally submitted to the Auditors. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Auditors in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Auditors shall be borne by the Parties as designated by the Auditors, which designation shall be based upon the inverse proportion of the amount of disputed items resolved in favor of such Party (i.e., so that the prevailing Party bears a lesser amount of such fees and expenses).

(c) If the Estimated Aggregate Cash Purchase Price is greater than the Final Aggregate Cash Purchase Price, then within five business days following the final determination thereof, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Buyer the amount of such excess. If the Final Aggregate Cash Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Aggregate Cash Purchase Price, then within five business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Seller the amount of such excess.

Section 1.5 Time and Place of the Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Xxxxxxxxxxx & Price, LLP, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, on the second business day after the date on which the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties set forth in Article VI (other than such conditions as may, by their terms, only be satisfied at the Closing or on the Closing Date, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) shall occur, or at such other time or on such other date as the Parties agree in writing (the “Closing Date”).

Any amounts that are so deducted and withheld shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Article II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER

Except as set forth in a letter delivered by the Seller to the Buyer and Buyer Parent concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Seller Disclosure Letter”), the Seller represents and warrants to the Buyer, as follows:

Section 2.1 Organization. The Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its Organization Jurisdiction.

Section 2.2 Authorization; Enforceability.

(a) The Seller has the requisite organizational power and authority to enter into and deliver each Transaction Document to which it is a party, and to carry out its obligations and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including disposing of the Shares. The execution and delivery by the Seller of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the performance by the Seller of its obligations under each Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party in accordance with their respective terms and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly and validly authorized by the Seller.

(b) Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is or will be a party are, or when executed and delivered by the parties thereto will be, duly executed and delivered by the Seller and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of such Transaction Documents by the other parties thereto, constitutes, or upon execution will constitute, the Seller’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as that enforceability may be (i) limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether that enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) The execution and delivery by the Seller of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the performance by the Seller of its obligations under each Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party in accordance with their respective terms and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will not violate, breach or constitute a default under (i) the Organizational Documents of the Seller, (ii) any Contract binding upon the Seller or (iii) any Law applicable to the Seller or by which the Shares are bound, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for such violations, breaches or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is, or will be as of the Closing, a party, or prevent or materially delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(d) Except for (i) any filings required to be made under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “HSR Act”), and (ii) such filings as may be required by any applicable federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws, the Seller is not required to file, seek or obtain any notice, authorization, approval, order, permit or consent of or with any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is, or will be as of the Closing, a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, other than those notices, authorizations, approvals, orders, permits or consents: (x) as have been given or obtained prior to the date hereof; (y) the failure of which to give or obtain would not reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is, or will be as of the Closing, a party, or prevent or materially delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; or (z) as may be required solely as a result of the business activities of the Buyer or its Affiliates (other than the business activities of the Company prior to the Closing).

Section 2.3 Ownership of the Shares. The Seller holds of record, owns beneficially, and has good and marketable title to the Shares, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens in effect on or prior to the Closing Date that will be released upon payment of the Indebtedness of the Acquired Entities pursuant to Section 1.3(a)). The Shares owned by the Seller represent all of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the Company. The Seller has the power to sell and to transfer the Shares to the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement. The right to receive dividends or distributions of any kind (whether payable now or in the future) on the Shares owned by the Seller has not been disposed of or otherwise encumbered.

Section 2.4 Brokers. Except for Xxxxxxx & Company International (a division of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.), no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Seller.

Section 2.5 Litigation. No Proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened in writing, to which the Seller is or may become a party which (i) questions or involves the validity or enforceability of any obligation of the Seller under any Transaction Document, or (ii) seeks (or reasonably may be expected to seek) to prevent or delay consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

Section 2.6 Acquisition of OIS Common Shares. The Seller is acquiring the OIS Common Shares for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the distribution of such OIS Common Shares in violation of applicable securities Laws. The Seller understands that the offering and issuance of the OIS Common Shares hereunder has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the OIS Common Shares cannot be offered or re-sold until such offer and sale is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available to the Seller. The Seller is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. The Seller acknowledges that the OIS Common Shares issued hereunder will bear the following or substantially similar legend thereon:

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws. The shares have been acquired for investment and may not be sold or transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement for the shares under such Act unless, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the issuer, registration is not required under such Act or any applicable state securities laws.”

Section 2.7 No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, neither the Seller nor any other Person, whether or not acting on behalf of the Seller, makes any other representation or warranty, express or implied, either written or oral, regarding the Seller or otherwise in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Article III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as set forth in the Seller Disclosure Letter, the Company represents and warrants to the Buyer and Buyer Parent, as follows:

Section 3.1 Organization. Section 3.1 of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth the Organization Jurisdiction of the Acquired Entities, each of which is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (where such concept is legally relevant) under the Laws of its Organization Jurisdiction, and has all requisite corporate or other entity power and authority under those Laws and their respective Organizational Documents to own, lease or otherwise hold its respective properties and assets and to carry on its business as conducted as of the date hereof. Each of the Acquired Entities is duly qualified and licensed, as may be required, and in good standing (where such concept is legally relevant) to do business in each jurisdiction in which the business it is conducting, or the operation, ownership or leasing of its properties, makes such qualification and licensing necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and licensed or in good standing would not result in a Seller Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available to the Buyer complete and correct copies of the Organizational Documents of the Acquired Entities, each as amended to the date hereof.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, including: (i) the preparation and filing as promptly as practicable of all necessary applications, notices, petitions, registrations, filings, ruling requests, and other documents, and the taking of all steps as may be necessary, to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits, rulings, authorizations and clearances necessary or advisable to be obtained from any Governmental Authority in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the obtaining of all other necessary Consents, lease estoppels or waivers from third parties, provided that neither the Seller nor any of the Acquired Entities shall be obligated to make any payment in connection with seeking such Consents, lease estoppels or waivers or shall have any liability for failure to obtain any such Consents or waivers, (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv) promptly furnish the other Party, subject in appropriate cases to appropriate confidentiality agreements to limit disclosure to outside lawyers and consultants, with draft copies prior to submission to a Governmental Authority, with reasonable time and opportunity to comment, of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) that they, their Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives intend to submit to any Governmental Authority, it being understood that correspondence, filings and communications received from any Governmental Authority shall be immediately provided to the other Party upon receipt;

(v) promptly furnish the other Party, subject in appropriate cases to appropriate confidentiality agreements to limit disclosure to outside lawyers and consultants, with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other Party and its Subsidiaries may reasonably request in connection with their preparation of necessary filings, registrations or submissions of information to any Governmental Authority, including any filings necessary or appropriate under the provisions of the HSR Act; and

(vi) deliver to the other Party’s outside counsel complete copies of all documents furnished to any Governmental Authority as part of any filing.

(c) The Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to eliminate any concern on the part of any Governmental Authority regarding the legality of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Buyer and Buyer Parent shall not be required by this Section to take or agree to undertake any action, including entering into any consent decree, hold separate order or other arrangement, that would (i) require the divestiture of any assets of the Buyer, the Buyer Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) limit the Buyer’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to consolidate and control, the Company, Acquired Entities or any of their assets or businesses or any of the Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ other assets or businesses or (iii) limit the Buyer’s ability to acquire or hold, or exercise full rights of ownership with respect to, the Shares.

(e) In addition to the foregoing, the Buyer agrees to provide such assurances as to financial capability, resources and creditworthiness as may be reasonably requested by any third party whose consent or approval is sought under this Agreement.

Section 5.5 Director and Officer Insurance.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, for a period of not less than six years, cause the Acquired Entities to continue to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the same extent as provided in the Acquired Entities’ Organizational Documents as in effect on the date hereof, the individuals who on or prior to the Closing Date were directors, officers, employees or agents of an Acquired Entity, against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, Proceeding or investigation with respect to any acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such or taken at the request of an Acquired Entity at any time on or prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer agrees that all rights of such Persons to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date as provided in the Organizational Documents of the applicable Acquired Entity as currently in effect, and any indemnification agreements or arrangements of the Acquired Entities, shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of not less than six years. Such rights shall not be amended or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of such Indemnified Parties unless such modification is required by applicable Law. In addition, the Buyer shall cause the Company to pay any expenses of any such Indemnified Party under this Section 5.5 as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides a written undertaking to repay all of such advances in full and immediately to the extent it is determined such Person is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to such Applicable Entity’s Organizational Documents or Law, as the case may be.

(b) The Parties agree that the Buyer (or a third party at the direction of the Buyer), at the Buyer’s sole expense, will obtain at the Closing “tail” coverage for a period of six years following the Closing Date under the directors and officers liability insurance policy of the Company, as in effect on the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Buyer will not be required to pay an amount that exceeds 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance policy prior to the date of this Agreement for such “tail” coverage. The aggregate amount necessary to purchase such “tail” coverage shall be referred to as the “D&O Tail Premium.”

(c) In the event the Buyer or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving Entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, the Buyer shall use its best efforts to ensure that proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Buyer, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5.

(d) This Section 5.5, which shall survive the Closing and shall continue for the periods specified herein, is intended to benefit any Person referenced in this Section 5.5 or indemnified hereunder, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.5 (whether or not Parties to this Agreement). The obligations of the Buyer under this Section 5.5 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.5 applies without the express written consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the indemnitees to whom this Section 5.5 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.5), unless such termination or modification is required by Law.

Section 5.6 Exclusivity. Between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement, the Seller and the Company shall not, and shall take all action necessary to ensure that none of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall, directly or indirectly:

(a) solicit, initiate, consider, encourage or adopt any other proposals or offers from any Person (i) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of all or any portion of the Capital Stock or other equity or ownership interest of the Seller, Company or Acquired Entities, other than inventory or obsolete equipment to be sold in the Ordinary Course of Business consistent with past practice and, in the case of Capital Stock of the Seller, upon the redemption or exercise of Seller Warrants, Seller Options or Seller Phantom Units, (ii) to enter into any merger, consolidation or other business combination relating to the Seller, Company or Acquired Entities or (iii) to enter into a recapitalization, reorganization or any other extraordinary business transaction involving or otherwise relating to the Seller, Company or Acquired Entities; or

(b) participate in any discussions, conversations, negotiations or other communications regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way, assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any other Person to seek to do any of the foregoing. The Seller immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing.

Section 5.7 Amendment of Disclosure Letters.

(a) The Buyer agrees that, with respect to representations and warranties of the Seller and the Company contained in this Agreement, the Seller and the Company shall have the continuing right (but not the obligation) until the Closing to add, supplement or amend the Seller Disclosure Letter to their respective representations and warranties with respect to any matter arising or discovered after the date hereof which, if existing at the date hereof or thereafter, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Seller Disclosure Letter. Any such additional, supplemental or amended disclosure shall not be deemed to have cured any breach of any representation or warranty for purposes of the termination rights contained in Section 7.1(d) or of determining whether the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 have been satisfied; provided, however, that (i) if such additional, supplemental or amended disclosures would give rise to a right of the Buyer to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d), assuming (x) all other conditions set forth in Section 6.1 had been satisfied, and (y) the Closing were scheduled to occur on the date that such additional, supplemental or amended disclosures were received by the Buyer, then the Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within 15 business days of its receipt of such additional, supplemental or amended disclosure and (ii) if the Buyer does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such matters and, provided further, that after the Closing, any such supplemental, additional or amended disclosure shall be taken into account both for determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty has occurred and for determining the amount of Damages for purposes of indemnification under Article VIII. For the avoidance of doubt, any such supplemental, additional or amended disclosure shall not limit the Buyer’s right to make a Claim under, and subject to the provisions of, Article VIII for breach of representation or warranty, and such supplemental, additional or amended disclosure shall not supplement, add or amend any representation or warranty of the Seller for purposes of Article VIII.

(b) The Seller agrees that, with respect to representations and warranties of the Buyer and the Buyer Parent contained in this Agreement, the Buyer and the Buyer Parent shall have the continuing right (but not the obligation) until the Closing to add, supplement or amend the Buyer Disclosure Letter to their respective representations and warranties with respect to any matter arising or discovered after the date hereof which, if existing at the date hereof or thereafter, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Buyer Disclosure Letter. Any such additional, supplemental or amended disclosure shall not be deemed to have cured any breach of any representation or warranty for purposes of the termination rights contained in Section 7.1(c) or of determining whether the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 have been satisfied; provided, however, that (i) if such additional, supplemental or amended disclosures would give rise to a right of the Seller to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c), assuming (x) all other conditions set forth in Section 6.1 had been satisfied, and (y) the Closing were scheduled to occur on the date that such additional, supplemental or amended disclosures were received by the Seller, then the Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within 15 business days of its receipt of such additional, supplemental or amended disclosure and (ii) if the Seller does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Seller shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such matters and, provided further, that after the Closing, any such supplemental, additional or amended disclosure shall be taken into account both for determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty has occurred and for determining the amount of Damages for purposes of indemnification under Article VIII. For the avoidance of doubt, any such supplemental, additional or amended disclosure shall not limit the Seller’s right to make a Claim under, and subject to the provisions of, Article VIII for breach of representation or warranty, and such supplemental, additional or amended disclosure shall not supplement, add or amend any representation or warranty of the Buyer and the Buyer Parent for purposes of Article VIII.

Section 5.8 Affiliate Arrangements. The Seller shall cause the accounts or contracts between an Acquired Entity, on the one hand, and the Seller, a Seller Shareholder or any Related Party of the Company, on the other hand, set forth on Schedule 5.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter to be cancelled without any consideration or further liability to any party immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 5.9 Termination of Indebtedness. The Company and each applicable Acquired Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate debt payoff letters for all Indebtedness to be paid at Closing as described in Section 1.3. The Company and each applicable Acquired Entity shall deliver all notices and take all other actions reasonably requested by the Buyer to facilitate the termination of all Contracts relating to such Indebtedness, the termination of the commitments provided thereunder, the repayment in full of all obligations then outstanding thereunder (using funds provided by the Buyer) and the release of all Liens in connection therewith on the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall this Section 5.9 require the Company or any of the Acquired Entities to cause the termination of any Contracts related to such Indebtedness other than as part of the Closing.

Section 5.10 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.10(g) with respect to Transfer Taxes:

(i) The Seller shall prepare and timely file (taking into account all valid extensions), or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed (taking into account all valid extensions), any and all income and franchise Tax Returns of an Acquired Entity covering a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (each, a “Seller Prepared Tax Return”), and each such Seller Prepared Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past custom and practice except as otherwise required by applicable Law or fact. Subject to the indemnification obligations of the Seller pursuant to Section 8.2(e), the Buyer shall be responsible for timely paying or causing the applicable Acquired Entity to timely pay all Taxes reflected on a Seller Prepared Tax Return required to be paid by the applicable Acquired Entity to the applicable Governmental Authority.

(ii) The Buyer shall prepare and timely file (taking into account all valid extensions), or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed (taking into account all valid extensions), any and all (A) non-income and franchise Tax Returns of an Acquired Entity covering a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date that are required to be filed after the Closing Date, and (B) Tax Returns of an Acquired Entity covering a Tax period beginning on or before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (each, a “Buyer Prepared Tax Return”), and each Buyer Prepared Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past custom and practice except as otherwise required by applicable Law or fact. The Buyer shall provide a copy of each such Buyer Prepared Tax Return, together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to the Seller for the Seller’s review and reasonable comment at least 30 days prior to the due date (taking into account all valid extensions) for filing such Buyer Prepared Tax Return. The Buyer shall include any reasonable comments provided in writing by the Seller to the Buyer at least five days prior to the due date (taking into account all valid extensions) for filing such Buyer Prepared Tax Return. Subject to the indemnification obligations of the Seller pursuant to Section 8.2(e), the Buyer shall be responsible for timely paying, or causing the applicable Acquired Entity to timely pay, all Taxes reflected on a Buyer Prepared Tax Return required to be paid by the applicable Acquired Entity to the applicable Governmental Authority.

(b) Amended Tax Returns. The Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates, any Acquired Entity, or any of their Affiliates to, (i) amend, modify, or re-file any Tax Return of an Acquired Entity that covers a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) grant an extension of any applicable statute of limitations with respect to any Tax Return of an Acquired Entity that covers a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) make or change any Tax election that affects any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iv) take any action or position that results in any increased Tax liability (including a reduction in a refund) or reduction of any Tax attribute of an Acquired Entity with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, in each case without the prior written consent of the Seller.

(c) Determination of Straddle Period Taxes. In the case of a Straddle Period, the portion of Taxes attributable to such Straddle Period that are allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be determined as follows:

(i) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, gains, or receipts, or any Taxes other than Property Taxes, of the Acquired Entities attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) will be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period, and

(ii) the amount of any real property, personal property, ad valorem, or similar Taxes (“Property Taxes”) of the Acquired Entities attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period will be deemed to be the total amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period up to and including the Closing Date, and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period.

(d) Refunds. The amount or economic benefit of any refund (whether in cash or as a credit against or offset to any Tax) of any Tax of the Acquired Entities attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period received by the Buyer, any Acquired Entity, or any of their respective Affiliates, but only if and to the extent such refund of Taxes exceeds the amount, if any, taken into account in the final and binding Closing Working Capital, shall be for the account of the Seller. Any such amount (including any interest received thereon) shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller within five days after any such refund is received, credited or applied as an offset, as the case may be.

(e) Tax Cooperation. Each party shall (and shall cause its Affiliates) to provide the other parties with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other such party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return of or with respect to an Acquired Entity or during the course of any audit, investigation, or other examination by a Tax authority or any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes of or attributable to an Acquired Entity including any tax work papers or memoranda related to or addressing the Transaction Tax Deductions. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the request of another party) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Returns or audit, examination, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Buyer agrees (i) to retain, and, following the Closing, to cause the Acquired Entities to retain, all books and records with respect to Tax matters relating to the Acquired Entities for any Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning on or before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective Tax period, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority, and (ii) to give the Seller reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and records and, if the Seller so requests, the Buyer or such Acquired Entity, as the case may be, shall allow the Seller to take possession of such books and records. Each party further agrees, upon reasonable request by another party, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on the Seller or any Seller Shareholder, the Buyer or any Acquired Entity (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(f) Tax Contests.

(i) The Buyer agrees to give prompt written notice to the Seller if it or any Buyer Indemnitee receives any communication or notice with respect to any audit, review, examination, assessment, or any other administrative or judicial proceeding with the purpose or effect of re-determining Taxes of or with respect to an Acquired Entity (including any administrative or judicial review of any claim for refund) for which the Seller may be required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (a “Tax Contest”).

(ii) The Seller shall have the right to control and defend the conduct of any Tax Contest covering any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”) with counsel (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accountants) of its choice; provided, that (A) the Seller shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of the Pre-Closing Tax Contest, (B) the Buyer may monitor and observe (and retain separate counsel at its sole cost and expense to monitor and observe) the defense of the Pre-Closing Tax Contest, including, to the extent the circumstances allow, having an opportunity to review any written materials prepared in connection with the Pre-Closing Tax Contest and the right to attend any conferences relating thereto, and (C) the Seller will not settle or consent to the entry of any order, ruling, decision, or other similar determination or finding with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(iii) The Buyer shall have the right to control and defend any Tax Contest covering any Straddle Period, any Tax Contest that is not a Pre-Closing Tax Contest, or any Pre-Closing Tax Contest for which the Seller has not assumed its right to control and defend such Pre-Closing Tax Contest as contemplated by Section 5.10(f)(ii) (an “Other Tax Contest”) with counsel (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accountants) of its choice; provided, that, with respect to any Tax items in the Other Tax Contest for which the resulting Tax liability the Seller would be required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, (A) the Buyer shall keep the Seller reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest, (B) the Seller may assume joint control and retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest, including having an opportunity to review and comment on any written materials prepared in connection with such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest and the right to attend and participate in any conferences relating thereto, and (C) the Buyer will not settle or consent to the entry of any order, ruling, decision, or other similar determination or finding with respect to such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(g) Transfer Taxes. Any and all transfer, sales, use, value added, excise, filing, recording, documentary, stamp, or other similar Taxes applicable to, imposed upon, or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be the responsibility of and borne by the Seller. The Seller shall at its own expense file, or cause to be filed, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any Transfer Taxes. The Buyer shall cooperate with the Seller in the preparation of any necessary Tax Returns and other related documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes. Each party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Transfer Taxes.

(h) Transaction Tax Deductions. Notwithstanding Section 5.10(c) or anything else contained herein to the contrary, (i) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, only the Acquired Entities shall be entitled to include and claim any Transaction Tax Deductions on Tax Returns of any of the Acquired Entities covering a Pre-Closing Tax Period and (ii) any Transaction Tax Deductions shall be allocated solely to the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(i) No Section 338 Election. No election shall be made under Section 338 of the Code (or any similar provision under state, local, or foreign Law) with respect to the purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

(j) Conflict. In the event of conflict between any of the provisions of this Section 5.10 and any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.10 shall control.

Section 5.11 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing, if any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Parties shall take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further documents and instruments) as any Party may reasonably request, all at the sole expense of the requesting Party (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement).

Section 5.12 Retention of Books and Records. The Seller may retain a copy of any or all of the books and records relating to the Acquired Business prior to the Closing. In addition, the Buyer shall cause the Acquired Entities to retain all books, ledgers, files, reports, plans, operating records and any other material documents pertaining to the Acquired Entities in existence at the Closing that are required to be retained under current retention policies for a period of not less than seven years from the Closing Date, and to make the same available after the Closing for inspection and copying by the Seller or its Representatives at the Seller’s expense, during regular business hours and upon reasonable request and upon reasonable advance notice.

Section 5.13 Contact with Customers and Suppliers. Until the Closing Date, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and direct its other Representatives not to, contact or communicate with the employees, customers, suppliers, distributors or licensors of the Acquired Entities, or any other Persons having a business relationship with the Acquired Entities, concerning the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the foregoing relationships without the prior written consent of the Seller.

Section 5.14 Prior Knowledge. The representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions of the Seller under this Agreement shall not be affected or deemed waived for any purpose under this Agreement by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Buyer (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Buyer or any of its Representatives knew or should have known of such breach or of the threat of such breach or the circumstances giving rise to such breach; and the claims and recourse of the Buyer or any Buyer Indemnitee against the Seller or its respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons, agents, advisors or Representatives with respect to a breach under Article VIII of this Agreement or otherwise, shall not be impacted, by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Buyer or its Representatives or by reason of the fact that the Buyer or any of its Representatives knew or should have known of such breach or of the threat of such breach or the circumstances giving rise to such breach.

Section 5.15 Employee Matters.

(a) The Buyer will cause the Acquired Entities, as applicable, to continue to employ immediately after the Closing all of the then-current Company Employees (including such persons on disability or leave of absence, whether paid or unpaid) (the “Continuing Employees”); provided, however, that the foregoing does not give any person the right to be employed or restrict in any way the right of the Buyer to terminate any person’s employment.

(b) For the one-year period beginning on the Closing Date, the Buyer shall cause the Acquired Entities or any successor or Affiliate of the Buyer that employs any of the Continuing Employees to provide base salary and bonus and other incentive compensation opportunity at least as favorable as the base salary and bonus and other incentive compensation opportunity that each Continuing Employee was entitled to receive immediately before the Closing Date and employee benefits that in the aggregate are at least as favorable as the employee benefits provided to each Continuing Employee immediately before the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall provide to any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated for reasons other than cause during the one-year period beginning on the Closing Date with severance payments at least as favorable as the severance payments for which such Continuing Employee would have been eligible for a termination of employment immediately before the Closing Date.

The indemnification provisions in this Section 8.2 are expressly intended to apply notwithstanding the negligence or gross negligence (whether sole, concurrent, active or passive) or strict liability or illegal conduct on the part of the Buyer Indemnitees or whether Damages are asserted in contract, quasi-contract, breach of representation and warranty (express or implied), personal injury or other tort, under law or otherwise.

Section 8.3 Indemnification of the Seller Indemnitees. Subject to the applicable provisions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, the Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless each Seller Indemnitee against all Third-Party Claims and all Damages that arise from, are based on or relate or otherwise are attributable to, without duplication: (a) any breach by the Buyer or Buyer Parent of its representations and warranties set forth in Article II (but in any event with respect to this Section 8.3, disregarding any qualifications as to “materiality,” “Buyer Material Adverse Effect,” “material adverse effect” or words of similar import contained in any such representation or warranty for purposes of determining both a breach and the amount of any Damages); or (b) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Buyer or Buyer Parent and, from and after the Closing, the Acquired Entities under this Agreement (each such Third-Party Claim or Damage referred to in this sentence being a “Seller Indemnified Loss”). Any assignment by the Buyer of its rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall not relieve the Buyer of its liabilities or obligations under this Agreement. The indemnification provisions in this Section 8.3 are expressly intended to apply notwithstanding the negligence or gross negligence (whether sole, concurrent, active or passive) or strict liability or illegal conduct on the part of the Seller Indemnitees or whether Damages are asserted in contract, quasi-contract, breach of representation and warranty (express or implied), personal injury or other tort, under law or otherwise.

Section 8.4 Conditions of Indemnification.

(a) All Claims for indemnification under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 shall be asserted and resolved as this Section 8.4 provides.

(b) In the event a Party (an “Indemnified Party”) (i) believes in good faith that it has suffered or incurred Damages or (ii) learns of or receives notice of any commencement of any Proceeding, the written assertion of any Third-Party Claim or the imposition of any penalty, assessment or judgment, in each case for which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, and such Party intends to seek indemnity from another Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, such Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party (or, if the Indemnifying Party is the Seller, the Seller) with written notice describing the Claim in reasonable detail (a “Claim Notice”) of such Proceeding, Third-Party Claim, penalty, assessment or judgment promptly (and in no event later than 30 days) after the Indemnified Party learns of or receives notice of such Proceeding, Third-Party Claim, penalty, assessment or judgment; provided, however, that any Claim Notice must be received by the Indemnifying Party (or, if the Indemnifying Party is the Seller, the Seller) prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period. Each Claim Notice shall describe, with as much detail as is reasonably practicable, the basis of the Third-Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to that Claim (if any) and all other material written evidence thereof, an estimate of the amount of damages attributable to that Claim to the extent feasible (which estimate will not be conclusive of the final amount of that Claim) and the basis for the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. The failure to promptly deliver a Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations to the Indemnified Party with respect to the related Third-Party Claim (i) unless the Indemnified Party fails to deliver a valid Claim Notice prior to expiration of the applicable Survival Period or (ii) unless and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

(c) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice from an Indemnified Party with respect to a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may elect to assume and control the defense of any such Third-Party Claim or any Proceeding resulting therefrom. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume and control the defense of a Third-Party Claim or any Proceeding resulting therefrom, the Indemnifying Party shall not, so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim. In the event that an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party will furnish the Indemnifying Party with all information in its possession, custody or control with respect to such Third-Party Claim and otherwise cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pretrial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of such Third-Party Claim, including by providing the party with all reasonably requested information and reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and the right to inspect and copy documents and records or other information; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party will not consent to any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Third-Party Claim that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a full and unconditional release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall settle, compromise or make any other disposition of any Third-Party Claim which would or might result in any liability to the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, respectively, under this Article VIII without the written consent of such other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Party agreeing to such settlement, compromise or disposition. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending any Third-Party Claim shall be counted in calculating the amounts set forth in Section 8.7(a) if the Third-Party Claim relates to a matter to which Section 8.7(a) applies. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim the Indemnifying Party controls under this Section 8.4(c) and will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to that participation; provided, however, that if the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by outside counsel that there is a conflict of interest which renders it inadvisable for one firm to represent the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party (provided, that such counsel is limited to one separate firm of attorneys, in addition to one local counsel firm), and, on its written notification of that employment, the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume or continue the defense of that action on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 8.4(c) shall not apply to Tax Contests, which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 5.10(f).

(d) If the Indemnifying Party (i) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII or (ii) fails to notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party under Section 8.4(c), then the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (if the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder), the Third-Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings the Indemnified Party must promptly and vigorously prosecute to a final conclusion or settle. The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings; provided, however, the Indemnified Party will not enter into any settlement with respect to any Third-Party Claim that would result in payment of an amount for which the Indemnifying Party would be liable under this Article VIII without the prior consent of that Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined that the Indemnifying Party does not have liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense under this Section 8.4 or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party will reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses of that litigation. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement the Indemnified Party controls under this Section 8.4(d), and the Indemnifying Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to that participation. The provisions of this Section 8.4(d) shall not apply to Tax Contests, which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 5.10(f).

Section 8.5 Payments by an Indemnifying Party. Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII relating to a Third-Party Claim will be made within 30 days after the latest of (a) the settlement of that Third-Party Claim, (b) the expiration of the period for appeal of a final adjudication of that Third-Party Claim or (c) the expiration of the period for appeal of a final adjudication of the Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement in respect of that Third-Party Claim.

Section 8.6 Procedures for Direct Claims.

(a) Except as otherwise may be ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees shall bear their own costs, including counsel fees and expenses, incurred in connection with direct claims for indemnification against the Buyer or the Seller, respectively, hereunder that are not based upon Third-Party Claims (“Direct Claims”). The Indemnifying Party shall have 60 days after its receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Direct Claim to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 60-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such Direct Claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to have given rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by making available such reasonably requested information and assistance (including reasonable access to the premises and personnel of the Acquired Entities and the right to inspect and copy any accounts, documents, records or other information) of the Acquired Entities as the Indemnifying Party or any of its representatives may reasonably request.

(b) Payments of all amounts owing by a Party pursuant to Section 8.6(a) will be made within 30 days after the settlement, agreement or expiration of the period for appeal of a final adjudication of such Party’s liability with respect to such amount under this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Certain Limitations on Indemnification for Third-Party Claims and Direct Claims.

(a) No indemnification shall be made by the Seller pursuant to Section 8.2(a), Section 8.2(c) or Section 8.2(d) (i) unless such individual Buyer Indemnified Loss or series of related Buyer Indemnified Losses exceeds the Threshold Amount (and any such Losses relating to or arising out of any individual event, matter or occurrence, or series of related events, matters or occurrences for an amount less than or equal to the Threshold Amount shall not be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement and shall be excluded from the calculation of Losses for purposes of determining whether or not Losses exceeding the Deductible has occurred for purposes of Section 8.7(a)(ii), but the amount of any Losses relating to or arising out of any individual event, matter or occurrence, or series of related events, matters or occurrences for an amount greater than the Threshold Amount shall be considered Losses for their full amount), and (ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of Buyer Indemnified Losses exceeding the Threshold Amount that would otherwise be subject to indemnification exceeds the Deductible, and, in such event, indemnification shall only be made by the Seller to the extent that the Buyer Indemnified Losses exceed the Deductible. The Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer under Section 8.2(a) for a breach of the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.17 shall not be subject to (A) the Threshold Amount or (B) the Deductible, and such Buyer Indemnified Losses shall be paid from the first dollar, subject to the Damages Cap. The Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer under Section 8.2(a) for a breach of the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.16 shall not be subject to (A) the Threshold Amount or (B) the Deductible, and such Buyer Indemnified Losses shall be paid from the first dollar that exceeds $300,000, subject to the Damages Cap. The maximum amount that the Seller shall be required to pay pursuant to Section 8.2(a), Section 8.2(c) and Section 8.2(d) in respect of all Buyer Indemnified Losses shall not exceed the Damages Cap, after which point the Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against further Buyer Indemnified Losses. The Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer under Section 8.2(g) shall not be subject to (A) the Threshold Amount or (B) the Deductible, and such Buyer Indemnified Losses shall be paid from the first dollar, subject to an aggregate limit at the Specified Matters Damages Cap. The Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer under Section 8.2(b), Section 8.2(e), Section 8.2(f) or Section 9.13 shall not be subject to any of the limitations in this Section 8.7.

(b) No indemnification shall be made by the Buyer pursuant to Section 8.3(a) (i) unless such Seller Indemnified Loss or series of Seller Indemnified Losses exceeds the Threshold Amount, (and any such Losses relating to or arising out of any individual event, matter or occurrence, or series of related events, matters or occurrences for an amount less than or equal to the Threshold Amount shall not be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement and shall be excluded from the calculation of Losses for purposes of determining whether or not Losses exceeding the Deductible has occurred for purposes of Section 8.7(b)(ii), but the amount of any Losses relating to or arising out of any individual event, matter or occurrence, or series of related events, matters or occurrences for an amount greater than the Threshold Amount shall be considered Losses for their full amount), and (ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of Seller Indemnified Losses exceeding the Threshold Amount that would be subject to indemnification exceeds the Deductible, and, in such event, indemnification shall only be made by the Buyer to the extent that the Seller Indemnified Losses exceed the Deductible. The maximum amount that the Buyer shall be required to pay pursuant to Section 8.3(a) in respect of all Seller Indemnified Losses shall not exceed the Damages Cap, after which point the Buyer shall have no obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against further Seller Indemnified Losses. The Buyer’s obligations to pay and deliver to the Seller the Total Consideration and the Buyer’s obligations to indemnify the Seller under Section 8.3(b) or Section 9.13 shall not be subject to any of the limitations in this Section 8.7.

(c) (i) The limitations set forth in Section 8.7(a) and Section 8.7(b) shall not apply to Buyer Indemnified Losses or Seller Indemnified Losses, respectively, based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation, Company Fundamental Representation or Buyer Fundamental Representation and (ii) the limitations set forth in Section 8.7(a) and Section 8.7(b) shall not apply to any Claim for Fraud.

(d) The amount of any Buyer Indemnified Losses shall be reduced by (i) any amount actually received by a Buyer Indemnitee with respect thereto under any insurance coverage (other than self-insurance or insurance coverage provided by any captive insurance company that is an Affiliate of a Buyer Indemnitee) or from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) the amount of any Tax Benefit directly or indirectly available to the Buyer Indemnitee relating thereto. Any Indemnified Party having a claim under this Article VIII shall make a good faith effort to recover any Damages from insurers of such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates under applicable insurance policies, in each case as to reduce the amount of any indemnifiable Damages hereunder. If such a recovery or benefit is received or enjoyed by an Indemnified Party after it receives payment or other credit under this Agreement with respect to any Damages, then a refund equal in aggregate amount of such recovery, reduction or setoff (net of reasonable expenses and Tax or other costs incurred in obtaining such recovery or benefit) will be made promptly to such Indemnifying Party. For purposes of this Section 8.7(d), a “Tax Benefit” shall mean a reduction in the Buyer Indemnitee’s Taxes (calculated net of any Tax detriment resulting from the receipt of any indemnification payment, including the present value of any Tax detriment resulting from the loss of any depreciation and amortization deductions over time, calculated using a discount rate of 3.5%) arising out of any Damages that create a Tax deduction, credit or other Tax benefit. In computing the amount of any such Tax Benefit, the Buyer Indemnitee shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any Buyer Indemnified Losses.

(e) The amount of any Seller Indemnified Losses shall be reduced by any amount actually received by a Seller Indemnitee with respect thereto under any insurance coverage (other than self-insurance or insurance coverage provided by any captive insurance company that is an Affiliate of a Seller Indemnitee) or from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor. Any Indemnified Party having a Claim under Article VIII shall make a good faith effort to recover any Damages from insurers of such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates under applicable insurance policies, in each case as to reduce the amount of any indemnifiable Damages hereunder. If such a recovery or benefit is received or enjoyed by an Indemnified Party after it receives payment or other credit under this Agreement with respect to any Damages, then a refund equal in aggregate amount of such recovery, reduction or setoff (net of reasonable expenses and Tax or other costs incurred in obtaining such recovery or benefit) will be made promptly to such Indemnifying Party.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to any indemnification under this Article VIII if any Tax attributes of the Company or any other Acquired Entity (including net operating loss carryovers, capital loss carryovers, adjusted basis, or credits) are not available to the Company or any other Acquired Entity or any other Person for any Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date.

Section 8.8 No Special Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, from and after the Closing no Party nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable under this Article VIII, otherwise under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document or otherwise for exemplary, special, punitive, indirect, remote, speculative or consequential damages, whether in tort (including negligence or gross negligence), strict liability, by contract or statute, except to the extent any Indemnified Party suffers such damages (i) for Fraud or (ii) to an unaffiliated third party in connection with a finally adjudicated Third-Party Claim, in which case such damages shall be recoverable (to the extent recoverable under this Article VIII) without giving effect to this Section 8.8.

Section 8.9 Sole and Exclusive Remedy.

(a) FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING, THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS AFFILIATES WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUIRED ENTITIES AND THEIR OPERATIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE VIII, AND, IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, EACH OF THE PARTIES, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND OF ITS AFFILIATES, HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND DISCHARGES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE OTHER PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES FROM ANY AND ALL BUYER INDEMNIFIED LOSSES OR SELLER INDEMNIFIED LOSSES (OTHER THAN THOSE ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO FRAUD), AS THE CASE MAY BE, OF ANY KIND (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN, MATURED OR UNMATURED, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ACCRUED OR NOT ACCRUED OR BASED ON ANY LAW OR RIGHT OF ACTION OR OTHERWISE) EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT NOTWITHSTANDING THE STRICT LIABILITY, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR NEGLIGENCE OF A RELEASED PARTY (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT OR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE).

(b) The Parties intend that, even though indemnification obligations appear in various sections and articles of this Agreement, the indemnification procedures, limitations, express negligence and other provisions contained in this Article VIII shall apply to all indemnity obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, except to the extent expressly excluded in this Article VIII.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the sole and exclusive rights and remedies of the Parties with respect to the determination of the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price are set forth in Section 1.2 and Section 1.4.

Section 8.10 Buyer’s Investigation; Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. The Buyer has conducted its own independent review and analysis of the Acquired Entities, including the operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition, software, technology and prospects of the Acquired Entities, and acknowledges that the Buyer has been provided access to the personnel, properties, premises and records of the Acquired Entities for such purpose. In entering into this Agreement, the Buyer has relied solely upon its own investigation and analysis, and the Buyer: (A) acknowledges that neither the Seller nor the Company nor any of their respective Representatives makes or has made any representation or warranty, either express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided or made available to the Buyer or its Representatives (including any information provided or made available to the Buyer in any “data room”); and (B) agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that, other than in the case of Fraud, neither the Seller nor the Company nor any of their respective Representatives shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever to the Buyer or its Representatives on any basis (including in contract, quasi-contract, breach of representation and warranty (express or implied), personal injury, or other tort, under Law or otherwise) based upon any information provided or made available, or statements made, to the Buyer or its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons, advisors, agents or other Representatives (or any omissions therefrom), including in respect of the specific representations and warranties of the Seller and the Company set forth in this Agreement, except that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to the extent the Seller and the Company make the specific representations and warranties set forth in Article II and Article III, but always subject to the limitations and restrictions contained herein. The Buyer has relied on no representation or warranty other than as described in the preceding sentence. Except as specifically set forth in Article II and Article III, (1) Neither the Seller nor the Company make any representation or warranty, express or implied, at Law or in equity, in respect of or otherwise in any way relating to themselves, the Acquired Entities or their liabilities or operations, including with respect to value, condition (including environmental condition) or performance or merchantability, noninfringement or fitness for any purpose (both generally or for any particular purpose) and with respect to future revenue, profitability or the success of the Acquired Entities and (2) any such other representations or warranties are hereby expressly disclaimed.

Section 8.11 No Multiple Recoveries.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event any Party (or any other indemnitee) is entitled to a payment or other benefit under more than one provision of this Agreement arising out of or resulting from the same set of facts or circumstances and such Person has already been made whole by payment or another benefit under one of those provisions, in no event shall such Person be entitled to receive a subsequent payment or benefit under any other provision of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be without duplication (i.e., without allowing the claiming Party (or other indemnitee) to receive more than its Damages) by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) The Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under this Article VIII for Buyer Indemnified Losses to the extent such Buyer Indemnified Losses were taken into account in the determination of the adjustment provisions in accordance with Section 1.2 or Section 1.4.

Section 8.12 Setoff; Payments by the Seller. Neither the Buyer nor the Seller shall have any right to set off any amounts owed to a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee, respectively, under this Article VIII against any payments to be made by either of them under any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except the Buyer shall, prior to receiving any cash payment for Claims under this Article VIII from the Seller, first setoff any amounts owed to a Buyer Indemnitee under this Article VIII against any unpaid amount of the Seller’s Note as provided herein and therein.

Section 8.13 Subrogation. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party in respect of any insurance (other than self-insurance or insurance coverage provided by any captive insurance company that is an Affiliate of any Party) relating to Buyer Indemnified Losses or Seller Indemnified Losses, as the case may be, to the extent of any indemnification payments made hereunder, and the Indemnified Party shall provide all reasonably requested assistance to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such subrogation, including executing any instrument reasonably necessary to evidence such subrogation rights.

Section 8.14 Amount of Losses. The determination of the dollar amount of any Buyer Indemnified Losses or Seller Indemnified Losses, as the case may be, shall be based solely on the actual dollar value thereof, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and shall not take into account any multiplier valuations, including any multiple based on earnings or other financial indicia.

Section 8.15 Mitigation. Each Party shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates and Representatives to, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Buyer Indemnified Losses or Seller Indemnified Losses, as applicable, upon and after becoming aware of any fact, event, circumstance or condition that has given rise to, or would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any Buyer Indemnified Losses or Seller Indemnified Losses, as applicable, that are indemnifiable hereunder and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any costs or expenses associated with such claim and, if such costs and expenses cannot be avoided, to minimize the amount thereof.

Section 8.16 Purchase Price Adjustment. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, for all Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat (and will cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnification payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price.

Section 9.5 Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, delay in exercising, or single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any Party, and no course of dealing between the Parties, shall constitute a waiver of any such right, power or remedy.

No waiver shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.

Section 9.6 Counterparts.

This Agreement is solely for the benefit of (a) the Seller (and its successors and permitted assigns), with respect to the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement; and (b) the Buyer (and its successors and permitted assigns), with respect to the obligations of the Seller under this Agreement. Except as provided in (i) Section 5.5, (ii) Section 5.18, (iii) Article VIII, and (iv) Section 9.16 (the provisions in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the “Third-Party Provisions”), this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer upon or give to any other third Person any remedy, claim of liability or reimbursement, cause of action or other right. The Third-Party Provisions may be enforced by the beneficiaries thereof.

Section 9.12 Negotiated Transaction. The Parties, each represented by legal counsel, have each participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation should arise, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted by all Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.13 Brokers and Agents.

(a) The Seller agrees to pay any broker’s or finder’s fee, sales commission or similar form of compensation to any broker, finder or similar agent engaged by or on behalf of the Seller or the Company in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and, without regard to the Deductible, Damages Cap or any other limitation Article VIII sets forth, to indemnify the Buyer against all Claims arising out of claims for any and all such broker’s or finder’s fee, sales commission or similar form of compensation.

Section 9.14 Time of the Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Section 9.15 Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms on a timely basis or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist (even if damages would be available) and damages would be difficult to determine, and that, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to compel performance by the Parties of their respective obligations set forth in this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

(b) Without limiting the general right to specific performance set forth in Section 9.15(a), each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that, due to the nature of the Acquired Entities, including the unique nature of the customer relationships and other facts and circumstances, a non-breaching Party would be damaged irreparably if a Party breaches its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as required hereunder, provided that all of the conditions to Closing set forth hereunder have been satisfied or waived by the Party seeking to enforce this Agreement (other than the covenants in Section 1.3 and Section 1.6, which the Party seeking enforcement would be otherwise prepared to satisfy). Accordingly, in the event of any such breach of a Party’s obligation to consummate the Closing, provided that all of the conditions to Closing set forth hereunder have been satisfied or waived by the Party seeking to enforce this Agreement (other than the covenants in Section 1.3 and Section 1.6, which the Party seeking enforcement would be otherwise prepared to satisfy), then the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Party seeking to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled, at its election, to specifically enforce the performance of the other Party’s obligation to consummate the Closing as required hereunder in any Proceeding, including a Proceeding for injunctive relief.

(c) Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason in equity or at law, other than on the basis that such remedy is not expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

All communications between the Seller Entities or the Company, on the one hand, and Xxxxx Xxxxx, on the other hand, relating to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement shall be deemed to be privileged and to belong solely to the Seller Entities (and not Other Party Group Members). The Other Party Group Members shall not have access to any such communications, files, records or other documents (as used herein whether in electronic form or otherwise), of Xxxxx Xxxxx relating to such engagement. The Other Parties, to the fullest extent allowed by Law, agree (i) that no waiver of any privilege or right of the Seller Entities is intended or will be claimed by any Other Party as a result of any communications, files, records or other documents being maintained within the records or files, of any Other Party Group Member or otherwise in its possession or control, (ii) all Other Party Group Members shall endeavor to locate and delete or destroy all such documents and information in their possession or control and (iii) no Other Party Group Member will review, offer into evidence or otherwise attempt to use any such communications, files, records or documents (whether or not so maintained) in any claim or Proceeding arising under or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) The Buyer and its respective Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities after the Closing) further covenant and agree that, from and after the Closing, each shall not assert any claim against Xxxxx Xxxxx in respect of legal services provided to the Company, the Sellers or their Affiliates by Xxxxx Xxxxx in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(f) The Buyer hereby agrees that it shall cause any Person that is or after the Closing an Affiliate of the Buyer to execute any document or instrument reasonably requested from time to time by the Seller Representative in order to evidence or effectuate the intentions of the Parties reflected in this Section 9.16.

(g) This Section 9.16 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 9.16 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates affected thereby.

Section 9.17 Buyer Parent Guaranty. The Buyer Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Seller the performance in full by the Buyer of the obligations of the Buyer hereunder and under the Seller’s Note, including the obligations under Article I, Article V and Article VIII. The Buyer Parent hereby waives all defenses as a surety including notice, and agrees that its obligations under this Section 9.17 shall not be impaired, diminished or discharged by any extension of time granted by the Seller, by any course of dealing between the Parties, or by any events or circumstances which might operate to discharge a guarantor. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.17, the Buyer Parent waives the right to require the Seller to first proceed against the Buyer with respect to any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, and agrees that any such dispute, controversy, or claim may be brought directly against the Buyer Parent, the Buyer, or against any one or more of them.
