For avoidance of doubt, Buyer has the absolute right to use all or a portion of the Holdback Proceeds to discharge such liabilities or satisfy such claims.
1.6 Collection of Accounts Receivable. Seller may use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the Excluded Accounts Receivable set forth on Schedule 1.2(a); provided, however, neither Seller, Stockholder nor their Affiliates shall contact any customers who owe amounts to Seller represented by Excluded Accounts Receivable nor commence any litigation or use any efforts not within its normal practices to collect any Excluded Accounts Receivable without the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If Buyer receives a payment from such customers that is either specifically designated or otherwise identifiable as relating to services performed after the Closing Date, such payment will be collected by Buyer for its own account and will not be part of the Excluded Accounts Receivable, even if such customer still owes amounts relating to Excluded Accounts Receivable. If a payment from a customer of Buyer that owes amounts relating to Excluded Accounts Receivable is not identifiable as relating to services performed after the Closing Date, Buyer shall first apply such payment to the Excluded Accounts Receivable to which such payment relates and then shall apply any amounts remaining to Buyer’s own accounts receivable relating to such customer.
1.7 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Purchased Assets by Buyer and Seller to be agreed by Buyer and Seller prior to Closing, and if Buyer and Seller shall not so agree, then the allocation shall be made substantially in accordance with the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by Buyer’s accountants. The allocation of the Purchase Price to the Purchased Assets shall be set forth in a statement prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which statement shall be prepared in a manner generally consistent with the form of Internal Revenue Service Form 8594. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in the preparation of the statement of allocation and each party hereto shall file a copy of such statement as required by applicable law. If and to the extent the Seller does not agree on the allocation determined by Buyer’s accountants, Seller shall be free to make its own allocation for its own tax purposes.
1.8 Further Assurances. From time to time following the Closing, the Seller and the Stockholder, as appropriate, shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed or delivered, to the Buyer such additional instruments of conveyance and transfer as the Buyer may reasonably request or as may be
4
otherwise necessary to more effectively convey or transfer to, and vest in, the Buyer and put the Buyer in possession of, all or any part of the Purchased Assets, and, in the case of licenses, certificates, approvals, authorizations, agreements, contracts, leases, easements and other commitments (i) which would have been included in the Purchased Assets but for the reason that they cannot be assigned or transferred effectively without the consent of third Persons which consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing, to cooperate with the Buyer at its request in endeavoring to obtain such consent promptly, and if any such consent is unobtainable, to use its best efforts to secure to the Buyer the benefits thereof in some other manner, or (ii) which are otherwise not transferable or assignable, to use its best efforts consistent with applicable law jointly with the Buyer at the request of the Buyer to secure to the Buyer the benefits thereof in some other manner (including the exercise of the rights of the Seller thereunder).

(b) The Seller is acquiring the Warrants solely for the account of the Seller, for investment, and not with a view to, or in connection with, any resale or distribution of the Warrants in violation of all applicable federal or state securities laws.
(c) The Seller has had an opportunity to meet with representatives of the Parent and to ask questions and receive answers to its satisfaction regarding the proposed business of the Parent and its financial condition in order to assist it in evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Warrants. All material documents and information pertaining to the Parent and the investment therein that have been requested have been made available to the Seller.
(d) At no time was the Seller presented with or solicited by any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over radio or television or by any other form of general solicitation or general advertising.

The indemnifying party shall in no event permit to exist any lien, encumbrance or other adverse charge securing a Notified Claim upon any asset of the indemnified party and shall not consent to the imposition of any injunction against the indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnified party. The party having control of any such defense shall be entitled to the good faith cooperation of the other party, including supplying such information as the party controlling the contest may reasonably request.

16
proposal which relates to the Notified Claim for which the indemnified party is seeking indemnification hereunder; provided that, if (i) the indemnified party fails to provide the indemnifying party such a reasonable opportunity to review such portion of such proposal or (ii) after such reasonable opportunity to review such a proposal the indemnifying party in writing withholds its consent to such settlement or compromise proposal but acknowledges its obligation to indemnify for such Notified Claim if such contest is continued and is ultimately determined adversely to the indemnified party and the indemnified party proceeds with such settlement or compromise, the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to indemnify the indemnified party hereunder to the extent of the amount attributable to the Notified Claim to which such settlement or compromise relates as to which the indemnifying party has withheld its consent and with respect to which a successful contest is foreclosed because of such settlement or compromise as to which the indemnifying party has withheld its consent.
In the event that litigation is necessary to enforce the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, the provisions of this Article 7, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and its out-of-pocket costs and expenses in enforcing the terms of this Agreement.
