If Xxxx fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Closing Working Capital Statement Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Sellers. If Xxxx delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Closing Working Capital Statement Review Period, Buyer and Xxxx shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Xxxx, shall be final and binding on the parties.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Xxxx and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Sellers’ accountants or Buyers’ accountants jointly selected by Buyer and Xxxx (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute



	17

by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage of the Disputed Amounts not awarded to Sellers or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate Disputed Amounts.

(vi) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall (A) be due (x) within five Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Buyer or Xxxx, as the case may be.

(i)	at least $22,080,000 (the “Earn-Out Event”) but less than $22,310,000, Buyer shall pay to Sellers the sum of $200,000;


(ii)	if such Net Revenues are at least $22,310,000, but less than $22,540,000, Buyer shall pay to Sellers the sum of $400,000;


(iii)	if such Net Revenues are at least $22,540,000, but less than $22,770,000, Buyer shall pay to Sellers the sum of $600,000;


(iv)	if such Net Revenues are at least $22,770,000, but less than $23,000,000, Buyer shall pay to Sellers the sum of $800,000; or


(v)	if such Net Revenues are at least $23,000,000, then Buyer shall pay to Sellers the sum of $1,000,000 (such payment or any of the payments under clauses (i) – (iv), the “Earn-Out Payment”).



	18

(b) Procedures Applicable to Determination of the Earn-Out Event.

(i) On or before the last day of the 21^st calendar month following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Xxxx a written statement (the “Net Revenues Calculation Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its determination of Net Revenues for the 18 month period immediately following the Closing Date.

(ii) If the Net Revenues Calculation Statement reflects Net Revenues for such 18 month period of less than $23,000,000, Xxxx shall have 30 days after receipt of the Net Revenues Calculation Statement (in each case, the “Earn-Out Review Period”) to review the Net Revenues Calculation Statement. During the Earn-Out Review Period, Xxxx and its Representatives shall have the right to inspect Buyer’s books and records relating to the sale of Seller Products during normal business hours at Buyer’s offices, upon reasonable prior notice and solely for purposes reasonably related to the determination of Net Revenues; provided, that (A) such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer and (B) the Persons conducting such inspection execute a confidentiality agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. Prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, Xxxx may object to the calculation of Net Revenues set forth in the Net Revenues Calculation Statement by delivering a written notice of objection (a “Net Revenues Calculation Objection Notice”) to Buyer. Any Net Revenues Calculation Objection Notice shall specify the items in the applicable Net Revenues Calculation disputed by Xxxx and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, as well as the amount in dispute. If Xxxx fails to deliver a Net Revenues Calculation Objection Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, then the Net Revenues Calculation set forth in the Net Revenues Calculation Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. If Xxxx timely delivers a Net Revenues Calculation Objection Notice, Buyer and Xxxx shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed items and agree upon the resulting amount of the Net Revenues for such period. If Buyer and Xxxx are unable to reach agreement within 60 days after such an Net Revenues Calculation Objection Notice has been given, all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed items with respect to the applicable Net Revenues Calculation as promptly as practicable, but in no event greater than 60 days after such submission to the Independent Accountant, and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Net Revenues Calculation Objection Notice. If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Independent Accountant, Buyer and Xxxx shall each furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Buyer and Xxxx, and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute and the calculation of Net Revenues that is the subject of the applicable Net Revenues Calculation Objection Notice by the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. If Net Revenues for such period as determined by the Independent Accountant are (i) either less than $22,080,000 or the determination by the Independent Accountant does not result in Sellers receiving an Earn-Out Payment amount that is greater than the Earn-Out Payment amount payable under the Net Revenues Calculation Statement, Xxxx shall bear all of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant; (ii) $22,080,000 to $22,999,999 and the determination by the Independent



	19

Accountant does result in Sellers receiving an Earn-Out Payment amount that is greater than the Earn-Out Payment amount payable under the Net Revenues Calculation Statement, the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Xxxx and Buyer in proportion to the amounts by which their respective calculations of Net Revenues differ from Net Revenues as finally determined by the Independent Accountant; and (iii) $23,000,000 or greater, Buyer shall bear all of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant.

(iii) Earn-Out Payment. If a determination has been made by Buyer or, pursuant to Section 2.7(b), by the Independent Accountant, that the Earn-Out Event has occurred, then subject to Section 2.7(d), the Earn-Out Payment shall be paid no later than ten Business Days following the date of either the Net Revenues Calculation Statement if it reflects that the Earn-Out Event has occurred or the date the Independent Accountant notifies the parties that it has determined that the Earn-Out Event has occurred. If payable hereunder, Buyer shall pay to Sellers the Earn-Out Payment in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account for Sellers as is directed by Xxxx in writing. If the Earn-Out Event has not occurred (i.e. Net Revenues for the 18 month period following the Closing Date is less than $23,000,000), no Earn-Out Payment shall be due or payable.

(c) Post-Closing Operation. Subsequent to the Closing, Buyer shall have sole discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the Business, including, but not limited to, determining which of the Seller Products to continue to make available, the pricing of the Seller Products and decisions regarding manufacturing of Seller Products, acceptance of orders, sales policies and credit terms, and the ability to discontinue operations; provided, that Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, take any actions in bad faith that would have the intended effect of avoiding the Earn-out Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer has no obligation to operate the Business in order to achieve the Earn-out Payment.

(d) Right of Set-Off. Buyer shall have the right to withhold and set off against any amount otherwise due to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.7 the amount of any Losses to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under Section 8.6 of this Agreement.

(e) No Security. The parties hereto understand and agree that (i) the contingent right to receive the Earn-out Payment shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, is not transferable, and does not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Buyer, (ii) Sellers shall not have any rights as a security holder of Buyer as a result of Sellers’ contingent right to receive the Earn-Out Payment hereunder, and (iii) no interest is payable with respect to the Earn-Out Payment.

(f) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

2.8 Allocation of Purchase Price. Sellers and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (plus other relevant items) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Buyer and delivered to Seller within 180 days following the Closing Date. If Sellers notify Buyer in writing that Sellers



	20

object to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Sellers and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Sellers and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 45 days following the delivery of the Allocation Schedule, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Sellers and Buyer. Buyer and Sellers shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

2.9 Withholding Tax. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that Buyer may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of Tax Law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Sellers hereunder.

2.10 Third Party Consents. To the extent that a Seller’s rights under any Material Contract or Permit constituting a Purchased Asset, or any other Purchased Asset, may not be assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and upon the request of Buyer, such Seller, at its expense, shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, such Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by law and in respect of the Purchased Asset, shall act after the Closing as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder, shall enforce, at the request of and for the account of the Buyer at Buyer’s expense, any rights of Sellers or their Affiliates arising thereunder against any Person, including the right to elect to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof upon the direction of the Buyer and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and in respect of the Purchased Asset, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer. To the extent Buyer is provided with the benefits of any such Purchased Asset, Buyer shall perform, at the direction of Sellers, the obligations of Sellers or their Affiliates thereunder. To the extent that any Assumed Liability relates to any such Purchased Asset, Sellers shall bear all of the costs arising from such Assumed Liability until such Purchased Asset is transferred and assigned to Buyer or Buyer obtains all the benefits of such Purchased Asset under this Section 2.10; provided, that to the extent Buyer obtains a portion of the benefits of such Purchased Asset, Buyer shall bear a pro rata portion of the costs arising from the related Assumed Liability. To the extent that any Intellectual Property Registration owned by a Seller cannot be assigned and transferred by Sellers, then Sellers hereby grant Buyer an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, fully-paid up, royalty-free, exclusive license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers and to enforce, to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import, export, improve, reproduce, distribute, perform, display, transmit, manipulate in any manner, create derivative works based upon, and otherwise practice, exploit or utilize in any manner such Intellectual Property Asset. If and when such consents are obtained, the applicable Seller shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver the applicable Purchased Asset to Buyer and execute such transfer document as may be reasonably requested by Buyer. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.10 to the contrary, Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived its rights under Section 7.2(d) unless and until Buyer either provides written waivers



	21

thereof or elects to proceed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing. For ease of reference, this Section 2.10 does not apply to Standard Licenses.

The covenants contained in this Section 6.7 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, Sellers and Xxxx will have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 8.2(a), and Buyer will have no obligation to indemnity the Seller Indemnitees pursuant to Section 8.3(a), unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $100,000 (in which event Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of such amount).

8.5 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.



	60

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen calendar days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any and all Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of or relating to the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have adequate financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iv) the Indemnified Party has not been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, (v) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with Taxes or any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action, (vi) settlement of, an adverse judgment with respect to or the Indemnifying Party’s conduct of the defense of the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to be adverse to the Indemnified Party’s reputation or continuing business interests (including its relationships with current or potential customers, suppliers or other parties material to the conduct of its business) and (vii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.5(b), it shall 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. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that (I) the Indemnifying Party will pay the fees and expenses of separate co-counsel retained by the Indemnified Party that are incurred prior to Indemnifying Party’s assumption of control of the defense of the Third Party Claim, and (II) if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable



	61

fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.6) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party, involves no finding or admission of any violation of laws or the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party, and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such 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.

8.6 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated (i.e., a court of competent jurisdiction has, in a judgment that has become final and that is no longer



	62

subject to appeal or review, determined) to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

8.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

8.8 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, as the case may be.

8.9 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 2.6, Section 6.6, Section 6.7, Section 9.2 and Section 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from actual fraud, criminal activity (requiring actual criminal prosecution) or intentionally harmful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives (other than under Section 2.6, Section 6.6, Section 6.7, Section 9.2 and Section 10.11), to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.9 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

8.10 Net of Insurance and Tax Benefits. Losses under this Article VII shall be calculated net of (i) any insurance proceeds received by the Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees, as the case may be, minus all costs and expenses incurred by such recipient in recovering such proceeds from its insurer (and the Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue insurance coverage in respect of such Losses) and (ii) any tax benefits actually received by the Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees, as the case may be. A “tax benefit” shall be treated as actually received to the extent that the amount of Taxes required to be paid by a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, is reduced below the amount of Taxes that such Person would have been required to pay absent such Losses with respect to the same or immediately succeeding taxable year as the year in which such Losses occurred.

10.3 Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party has breached or violated, or if there is an inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached or violated, or in respect of which there is not an inaccuracy, will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party has breached or violated, or there is an inaccuracy in, the first representation, warranty or covenant. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

10.4 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

10.5 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Except as provided in Section 6.7(d), upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.



	66

10.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the Nondisclosure Agreement between Xxxx and OSI dated effective February 14, 2018, constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede that certain letter agreement dated April 17, 2018 between OSI Systems, Inc. and Xxxx and all other prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Transaction Documents, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

10.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may, without the prior written consent of any Seller, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

10.8 No Third-party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VIII, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. Subject to Section 8.9, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

10.10 Governing Law; Venue.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction).

(b) ANY UNRESOLVED DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY SHALL BE DETERMINED BY ARBITRATION IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, BEFORE ONE (1) ARBITRATOR WHO SHALL BE A RETIRED JUDGE ADMITTED TO PRACTICE LAW IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED BY JAMS (OR ANY LIKE ORGANIZATION SUCCESSOR

JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION. THIS CLAUSE SHALL NOT PRECLUDE THE PARTIES FROM SEEKING PROVISIONAL REMEDIES IN AID OF ARBITRATION FROM A COURT OF APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION. THE PARTIES FURTHER UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION SHALL BE CONFIDENTIAL AND FINAL AND BINDING TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND ENFORCEABLE BY ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF.

10.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
