The Preliminary Closing Statement and Preliminary Closing Working Capital shall be prepared by Seller in accordance with the Accounting Principles.

(b) If the Preliminary Closing Working Capital is (1) less than $237,456 (the “Target Working Capital”), then the Purchase Price payable by Buyer to Seller at Closing will be decreased by an amount equal to the excess of the Target Working Capital over the Preliminary Closing Working Capital; or (2) more than the Target Working Capital, then the Purchase Price payable by Buyer to Seller at Closing will be increased by an amount equal to the excess of the Preliminary Closing Working Capital over the Target Working Capital . The Purchase Price shall be subject to further adjustment following the Closing as provided herein to reflect the difference, if any, between the Final Closing Working Capital (as defined below) determined pursuant to this Section 2.7 and the Preliminary Closing Working Capital.

(i) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Seller a schedule prepared in good faith and based on the Balance Sheet, in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2.07(a), as of the open of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”) and a statement of the Working Capital, derived from the Closing Statement (“Closing Working Capital”). The Closing Statement and the Closing Working Capital shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The Closing Statement as finally modified pursuant to Sections 2.07(d) through 2.07(f) is referred to herein as the “Final Statement” and the Closing Working Capital, as derived from the Final Statement, is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Working Capital.” All disputes with respect to the Closing Statement and the Closing Working Capital will be resolved in accordance with Sections 2.07(d) through 2.07(f).

(ii) From the Closing Date until the finalization of the Final Statement, Seller will assist, in good faith, Buyer and its Representatives in the preparation of the Closing Statement. During such period, Seller will provide Buyer reasonable access during normal business hours to Seller’s personnel, books and records (and the work papers prepared by Seller’s independent accountants (subject to compliance with Seller’s independent accountants’ customary procedures for release)) not included in the Purchased Assets and related to the Business for such purpose.

(d) Review of Closing Statement.

(i) Seller shall have thirty (30) days following Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Statement to Seller to review and respond to the Closing Statement, during which period Buyer will grant Seller reasonable access during normal business hours to Buyer’s personnel, the Business Records and the work papers prepared by Buyer’s independent accountants (subject to compliance with Buyer’s independent accountants’ customary procedures for release) with respect to the Closing Statement.

(ii) Unless Seller has delivered to Buyer a written letter of its disagreement with the Closing Statement (the “Notice of Disagreement”) on or prior to the thirtieth (30^th) day following Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Statement to Seller, the Closing Statement will become the Final Statement on the thirty-first (31^st) day following Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Statement to Seller. The Notice of Disagreement will set forth in reasonable detail any proposed adjustment to the Preliminary Closing Statement and the basis for such adjustment.

(e) If the Notice of Disagreement is delivered in accordance with Section 2.07(d)(ii) then:

(i) any amount set forth in the Closing Statement as to which Seller has not objected in the Notice of Disagreement in accordance with Section 2.07(d)(ii) will be deemed to be accepted and will become part of the Final Statement, and

(ii) the Closing Statement, as modified to reflect the adjustments (x) accepted pursuant to this Section 2.07(e), (y) agreed to in writing pursuant to Section 2.07(f) and (z) determined by the Arbitrator pursuant to Section 2.07(g) will become the Final Statement on the earlier of (1) the date that Seller and Buyer resolve in writing all remaining disputed matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (2) the date that the Arbitrator delivers to Seller and Buyer a copy of the Final Statement and the Final Closing Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.07(g).

(f) Meeting to Resolve Proposed Adjustments. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days, after Sellers’ delivery of the Notice of Disagreement, Buyer and Seller will meet and endeavor to resolve the unaccepted adjustments in the Notice of Disagreement. If Buyer and Seller reach agreement in writing on such adjustments, the Final Statement will be the Closing Statement modified to reflect the adjustments agreed to in writing by the parties pursuant to this Section 2.07(f).

(g) Resolution by Arbitration.

(i) If Buyer and Seller do not resolve to their mutual satisfaction all disputed adjustments in the Notice of Disagreement within twenty-five (25) days following the meeting provided for in Section 2.07(f), any remaining disputed adjustments that were included in the Notice of Disagreement will be settled by an independent accounting firm of national reputation mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (such accounting firm being the “Arbitrator”) in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.07(g).

(ii) On or prior to the thirtieth (30^th) day following the meeting provided for in Section 2.07(f), Seller will furnish the Arbitrator with a copy of this Agreement, the Financial Statements, the Closing Statement, the Notice of Disagreement and any other relevant correspondence between the parties. Buyer and Seller will also give the Arbitrator:

(A) position papers outlining such Party’s respective arguments and supporting documentation for such Party’s position; provided, however, that Buyer’s positions, arguments and computations must match those set forth in the Closing Statement or agreed to with Seller pursuant to Section 2.07(f) above (and the Arbitrator will not consider any that do not so match), and Seller’s positions, arguments and computations must match those set forth in the Notice of Disagreement or agreed to with Buyer pursuant to Section 2.07(f) above (and the Arbitrator will not consider any that do not so match); and

(B) access to the books and records of the Business, including any work papers or other schedules prepared by such Party’s accountants (subject to compliance with such Party’s accountants’ customary procedures for release) relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the Notice of Disagreement.

(iii) The Arbitrator’s engagement will be limited to (A) reviewing the Closing Statement and the amounts placed in dispute by the Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(ii); (B) determining (1) whether Buyer’s proposed amount for each individual item in the Closing Statement or Seller’s proposed adjustment thereto in the Notice of Disagreement is calculated more nearly in accordance with Section 2.07(c) and (2) whether there were mathematical errors in the Closing Statement; (C) preparing the Final Statement, which will include those amounts in the Closing Statement agreed to in writing by Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 2.07(f), and those amounts determined by the Arbitrator to be calculated more nearly in accordance with Section 2.07(c); and (D) calculating the Final Working Capital. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator will be borne by Seller and Buyer in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Arbitrator, which proportionate allocations will also be determined by the Arbitrator at the time the determination of the Arbitrator is rendered on the Final Statement and the Final Working Capital.

(iv) The parties will instruct the Arbitrator to (A) complete its preparation of the Final Statement and the Final Working Capital within twenty-five (25) days from the date of submission of the disputed adjustments to the Arbitrator pursuant to Section 2.07(g)(ii) and (B) deliver promptly thereafter a copy of the Final Statement and the Final Working Capital to Seller and Buyer, together with a report setting forth each disputed adjustment and the Arbitrator’s determination with respect thereto. The Arbitrator’s determination will be conclusive and binding upon the parties and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(h) Payment of Purchase Price Adjustment. Upon final determination of the Final Closing Working Capital as provided in this Section 2.07, if the Final Closing Working Capital is (1) less than the Preliminary Closing Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall, subject to Section 2.07(i) be decreased by the excess of the Preliminary Closing Working Capital over the Final Closing Working Capital, or (2) more than the Preliminary Closing Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall, subject to Section 2.07(i) be increased by the excess of the Final Closing Working Capital over the Preliminary Closing Working Capital (the “Purchase Price Adjustment”). Subject to Section 2.07(i), if the Purchase Price Adjustment results in an increase in the Purchase Price, then such increase shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller on a dollar for dollar basis and, if the Purchase Price Adjustment results in a decrease in the Purchase Price, then such decrease shall be paid by Seller to Buyer on a dollar for dollar basis. The Purchase Price Adjustment, if any, will be paid by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days following the date on which the Closing Statement becomes the Final Statement (as determined in accordance with Section 2.07(c)(i)), which payment shall be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer pursuant to instructions provided in writing by Buyer.

(i) No Purchase Price Adjustment Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, no Purchase Price Adjustment payment will be required or made pursuant to Section 2.07(h) unless the Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the “Collar Amount”), and if the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds the Collar Amount, then the entire amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment shall be made.

Section 2.08 Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price and the relevant Assumed Liabilities shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of Code. Seller and Buyer shall provide the other promptly with any other information required to complete the Allocation Schedule (as defined below). Buyer and Seller also shall allocate and report any adjustments to the Purchase Price in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1060-1(e), and any allocations made as a result of such adjustments shall become part of the Allocation Schedule. The Purchase Price (which for these purposes shall include the amount of the relevant Assumed Liabilities) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in accordance with a schedule that Buyer shall provide to Seller within thirty (30) days after the Closing. Thereafter, Seller shall have thirty (30) days either to (a) agree with and accept such schedule or (b) in good faith suggest changes to such schedule and attempt to agree with the Buyer, with each party using its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days, as to the contents of the schedule (with the resulting agreed-upon schedule in both instances called the “Allocation Schedule”). If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve such dispute within such thirty (30) day period, the resolution of such dispute shall be determined by the Accounting Firm whose cost shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. The parties shall instruct the Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute within fifteen (15) days after submission of such disputed item to the Accounting Firm for its consideration. The Accounting Firm’s resolution of the dispute shall be final and binding on the parties and shall be deemed to amend the Allocation Schedule. Once Seller and Buyer agree on the Allocation Schedule (or once the Accounting Firm determines the Allocation Schedule), Seller and Buyer shall file Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 and any required attachments thereto (“Form 8594”), together with all federal, state and local Tax Returns, in a manner consistent with and in accordance with such Allocation Schedule.

Section 2.09 Consent of Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any Purchased Asset, including any Contract, Permit, Intellectual Property, certificate, approval, authorization or other right, which by its terms or by Law is nonassignable without the consent of a third party or a Governmental Authority or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until such consent shall have been obtained. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Buyer at its request in endeavoring to obtain such consents promptly. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the event consents to the assignment thereof cannot be obtained, such Nonassignable Assets shall be held, as of and from the Closing Date, by Seller or the applicable Affiliate of Seller in trust for Buyer and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by Buyer in Seller’s or such Affiliate’s name and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for Buyer’s account. Seller shall take or cause to be taken at Seller’s expense such actions in its name or otherwise as Buyer may reasonably request so as to provide Buyer with the benefits of the Nonassignable Assets and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Nonassignable Assets, and Seller or the applicable Affiliate of Seller shall promptly pay over to Buyer all money or other consideration received by it in respect of all Nonassignable Assets. As of and from the Closing Date, Seller on behalf of itself and its Affiliates authorizes Buyer, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Buyer’s expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of Seller or its Affiliates under the Nonassignable Assets and appoints Buyer its attorney-in-fact to act in its name on its behalf or in the name of the applicable Affiliate of Seller and on such Affiliate’s behalf with respect thereto.

Neither the execution or delivery by Seller of this Agreement or the other Seller Documents referred to herein, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, nor the performance by Seller of its respective obligations hereunder and thereunder, will violate or result in a breach (with or without the lapse of time, the giving of notice or both) of or constitute a default under any Material Contract, or give rise to termination or modification thereunder. Seller has delivered to Buyer true, correct and complete copies of all Material Contracts.

(c) Schedule 4.12(c) contains a list of the Contracts which Buyer shall assume as of the consummation of the Closing (the “Assumed Contracts”), provided that it is understood that Buyer shall only assume those Liabilities under the Assumed Contracts to the extent such Liabilities constitute Assumed Liabilities. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Buyer will not assume any obligations under any Contract that is not an Assumed Contract. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that Buyer will not assume any obligations under any Contract arising out of events occurring prior to the Closing other than obligations arising from performance due in the Ordinary Course of Business pursuant to the Assumed Contracts listed in Schedule 4.12(c) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude all Liabilities arising from or relating to Seller’s breach of, or non-compliance with, any provision of any such Assumed Contract).

Section 4.13 Benefit Arrangements.

(a) Schedule 4.13(a) contains a true, correct and complete list of each Benefit Arrangement that covers any Transferred Business Employee. With respect to each such Benefit Arrangement, Seller has delivered to Buyer true, correct and complete copies (where applicable) of: (i) the plan document for each Benefit Arrangement (or, if not written, a summary of the material terms thereof) and any amendment thereto, (ii) the most recent form 5500 (including schedules) filed with respect thereto, (iii) the most recent summary plan description (including any summaries of material modification), annual report and IRS determination, opinion, notification or advisory letter and material communications with respect thereto, and (iv) all insurance contracts, trust instruments and other funding arrangements maintained in connection therewith.

(b) No Benefit Arrangement that covers any Transferred Business Employee provides or has ever provided post-retirement medical or health benefits or severance benefits, except to the extent required by Part 6 of Title I of ERISA, and no such Benefit Arrangement is or has ever been a “welfare benefit fund,” as defined in Section 419(e) of the Code, or an organization described in Sections 501(c)(9) or 501(c)(20) of the Code. Each Benefit Arrangement that covers any Transferred Business Employee is in compliance with ERISA, the Code and other applicable Law and has been maintained and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and ERISA, the Code and such applicable Law. There are no pending, or to the knowledge of Seller, threatened claims (other than routine claims for benefits) or Legal Proceedings made or brought by any Transferred Business Employee (or beneficiary thereof) against or relating to any such Benefit Arrangement. Each Benefit Arrangement covering any Transferred Business Employee that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination, opinion or notification letter from the IRS as to its qualification, and nothing has occurred that could reasonably be expected to affect such qualification or which requires or could reasonably be expected to require action under the compliance resolution programs of the IRS to preserve such qualification. Seller has performed all obligations (including the provision of notices and reports) required to be performed by it under, are not in violation or default under, and there is no default or violation by any other party to, any Benefit Arrangement. All contributions and premium payments required to be made under any Benefit Arrangement have been timely made or have been reflected in the Financial Statements. No amounts payable pursuant to any Benefit Arrangement to any Transferred Business Employee is subject to Section 409A of the Code.

(c) Neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate has or has ever had any liability with respect to any plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, including a “multiemployer plan”, as defined in Section 3(37) or Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA, or a “single employer plan” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA.

(d) Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby will, either alone or in conjunction with any other event, (i) result in any obligation or liability to any present or former employee, manager, director, officer, contractor or consultant of Seller or any ERISA Affiliate, (ii) be a trigger event under any Benefit Arrangement that will result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise) becoming due to any such present or former employee, officer, director, member, contractor, or consultant, (iii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount, of any compensation theretofore or thereafter due or granted to any employee, officer, manager, director, member, contractor, or consultant of Seller or any ERISA Affiliate, or (iv) give rise to the payment of any amount which would constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code).

Except as set forth on Schedule 4.14(a), the employment of each of the current Transferred Business Employees is terminable by Seller at will, and Seller has no obligation to provide any particular form or period of notice prior to terminating the employment of any of its current Transferred Business Employees.

Section 4.15 Taxes.

All Taxes payable by or on behalf of Seller (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been fully and timely paid. Seller has complied in all respects with all applicable Laws relating to the payment and withholding of Taxes in connection with amounts, paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, equity owner or other third party and has duly and timely withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority all amounts required to be so withheld and paid under all applicable Laws. All Forms W-2 and 1099 (and the foreign equivalents thereof) required with respect to any payment or withholding by Seller have been properly completed and timely filed. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable requirements of any Taxing Authority to collect from the receipts of customers (or other Persons paying amounts to Seller, as the case may be) the amount of all Taxes required to be collected and with all applicable requirements of any Taxing Authority to pay and remit such Taxes when due, in the form required under applicable Law or to make adequate provision for the payment of such amounts to the proper Taxing Authorities.

There are no audits or investigations of Seller by any Taxing Authority in progress, nor has Seller received any notice from any Taxing Authority that the conduct of such an audit or investigation is anticipated. No claim has been made by a Taxing Authority in a jurisdiction where Seller does not file Tax Returns to the effect that Seller is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no Liens on any of the assets of Seller arising as a result of any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax.

Section 4.16 Compliance With Laws; Orders; Permits.

(a) Seller is in compliance in all material respects with all Laws of each Governmental Authority applicable to its business, operations or assets, including without limitation all escheat laws and the Federal Trade Commission Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising. Since July 12, 2013, Seller has not received any notice of or been charged with the violation of any Law and, to the knowledge of Seller, since July 12, 2013, no predecessor of the Business has been charged with any material violation of any Law. To the knowledge of Seller, Seller is not under investigation with respect to the violation of any Law and there are no facts or circumstances which could reasonably form the basis for any such violation other than violations which would have an immaterial effect upon the Business.

(b) Schedule 4.16(b) contains a list of all Permits which, to Seller’s best information and belief, are required for the operation of the Business as presently conducted and as presently intended to be conducted (“Seller Permits”). Seller currently holds all Seller Permits and is not in default or violation, and no event has occurred which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or violation, in any material respect of any term, condition or provision of any Seller Permit, and to the knowledge of Seller, there are no facts or circumstances which form the basis for any such default or violation. To the knowledge of Seller, the Seller Permits and none of the Seller Permits will be impaired or in any way affected by the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

There is no claim, action, suit, proceeding or governmental investigation (“Action”) of any nature pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened against or by Seller: (a) relating to or affecting the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business; or (b) that challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or otherwise delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Seller Documents. To the knowledge of Seller, no event has occurred or circumstances exist that may give rise to, or serve as a basis for, any such Action.

Section 4.18 Insurance. Seller has insurance policies in full force and effect providing insurance coverage for any nature of the Business in such amounts as are sufficient for all requirements of Law and all Contracts relating to the Business to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is bound. The nature and extent of Seller’s insurance coverage is reasonable, given the nature of the risks inherent in the Business, and is customary for businesses such as the Business. All insurance premiums have been paid on such insurance policies to the extent due and payable in accordance with their terms. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.18, no event relating to Seller has occurred which could reasonably be expected to result in a retroactive upward adjustment in premiums under any such insurance policies or which could reasonably be expected to result in a prospective upward adjustment in such premiums. Excluding insurance policies that have expired and been replaced in the Ordinary Course of Business, no insurance policy relating to the Business has been canceled since July 12, 2013 and, to the knowledge of Seller, no threat has been made to cancel any insurance policy of Seller related to the Business during such period. No event has occurred, including, without limitation, the failure by Seller to give any notice or information or Seller giving any inaccurate or erroneous notice or information, which limits or impairs the rights of Seller under any such insurance policies.

Section 6.07 Release of Guarantees. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to release, terminate or cancel any Seller Guaranty. In the event that any Seller Guaranty cannot be released and cancelled as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause itself or one of its Affiliates to be substituted for the guarantor directly affected thereby in respect of such Seller Guaranty (or if not possible, added as the primary obligor with respect thereto). If Buyer is not able to either release and cancel such Seller Guaranty or cause itself or one of its Affiliates to be so substituted in all respects in respect of such Seller Guaranty, then Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates with respect to all liabilities or expenses that might arise or be incurred by Seller or its Affiliates with respect to any such Seller Guaranty to the extent of any liability of the Business for which Seller has no indemnification obligations to Buyer hereunder.

The indemnification obligations of Seller set forth in Section 7.02(a)(ii), Section 7.02(a)(iii), and Section 7.02(a)(iv) shall continue in full force and effect forever.

(b) Buyer, subject to Section 7.02(d), shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, agents and representatives (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), against and in respect of any and all Damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with (i) any inaccuracy in any representation or the breach of any warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any Buyer Document, (ii) the breach by Buyer of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer hereunder or in any Buyer Document, and (iii) any Assumed Liability. The Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Damages from Buyer for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02(b)(i) first made after the expiration of the applicable Survival Period. Buyer’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 7.02(b)(ii) and Section 7.02(b)(iii) and shall continue in full force and effect forever.

(c) With respect to a matter for which indemnification is sought under this Section 7.02, the Person providing such indemnification in respect of such matter pursuant to this Section 7.02 is hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnifying Party” and the Person entitled to be indemnified in respect of such matter pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02 is hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnified Party.”

(d) The indemnification obligations of Seller set forth in Section 7.02(a)(i), other than the indemnification obligations for breaches or claims arising out of the Excluded Liabilities, Fundamental Representations of Seller, Extended Representations, or the covenants set forth in Article V shall be subject to a maximum aggregate lifetime liability equal to $2,000,000 (the “Cap Amount”). The indemnification obligations of Seller set forth in Section 7.02(a)(i) with respect to breaches of the Fundamental Representations or Extended Representations, Section 7.02(a)(ii), Section 7.02(a)(iii), and Section 7.02(a)(iv) shall not be subject to the Cap Amount limitations set forth in this Section 7.02(d). All claims made during the relevant Survival Period shall be counted in determining whether the threshold specified above has been achieved.

(e) The indemnification obligations of Buyer set forth in Section 7.02(b)(i), other than the indemnification obligations of Buyer for breaches of the Fundamental Representations of Buyer, and obligations relating to payment of Cash Consideration, shall be subject to a maximum aggregate lifetime liability equal to the Cap Amount. The indemnification obligations of Buyer set forth in Section 7.02(b)(i) with respect to breaches of the Fundamental Representations of Buyer shall not be subject to the Cap Amount limitations set forth in this Section 7.02(e). All claims made during the relevant Survival Period shall be counted in determining whether the threshold specified above has been achieved.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no limitation on a party’s liability provided for herein shall apply in the event of the fraudulent conduct, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation of such party.

(g) If and to the extent any provision of Section 7.02(a) is unenforceable for any reason, Seller hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of any Damages for which indemnification is provided for in Section 7.02(a) which is permissible under applicable Laws, such amount not to exceed the amount otherwise available under this Agreement if such provision were enforceable. If and to the extent any provision of Section 7.02(b) is unenforceable for any reason, Buyer hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of any Damages for which indemnification is provided for in Section 7.02(b) which is permissible under applicable Laws, such amount not to exceed the amount otherwise available under this Agreement if such provision were enforceable.

(h) For purposes of calculating the amount of any Damages related to a breach of any representation or warranty, the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be considered without regard to any “knowledge,” “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifications set forth therein.

(i) The representations, covenants and obligations of Seller, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Buyer Indemnified Parties based on such representations, covenants and obligations, will not be limited or affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to, the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

(j) For all federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes, all indemnification, purchase price adjustments and other payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by Law.

(k) Subject to Section 7.02(l), the parties agree that the sole and exclusive remedy for money damages for any matter arising under this Agreement shall be the rights to indemnification set forth in this Agreement and the rights set forth in Article VII. The indemnification rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties under this Article VII are independent of and in addition to such rights and remedies as the parties may have at Law or in equity or otherwise for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to fulfill any agreement or covenant hereunder on the part of any party hereto, including the right to seek specific performance, rescission or restitution, none of which rights or remedies shall be affected or diminished hereby.

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the limitations and thresholds and other provisions set forth in this Article VII shall not apply with respect to (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (ii) any equitable remedy, including a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance.

Section 7.03 Indemnity Holdback.

(a) For any claims subject to payment from the Holdback Amount pursuant to Section 7.02(d), the Holdback Amount, or any portion thereof, shall be released to Buyer within five (5) Business Days after the date of notice of any sums due and owing is given to Seller by Buyer.

(b) On the Holdback Release Date, Buyer shall release to Seller the Holdback Release Amount (to the extent not utilized to pay Buyer for any indemnification claim), except that Buyer shall retain an amount (up to the total amount then held by Buyer) equal to the amount of claims for indemnification under this Article VII asserted prior to such date but not yet resolved (“Unresolved Claims”). The amount of the Holdback Release Amount retained for Unresolved Claims shall be released by Buyer (to the extent not utilized to pay Buyer for any such claims resolved in favor of Buyer) upon the earlier of the resolution of any Unresolved Claims in accordance with this Article VII.

Section 7.04 Procedures for Third Party Claims. In the case of any claim for indemnification arising from a claim of a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), an Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice, following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such claim or demand, to the Indemnifying Party of any claim or demand of which such Indemnified Party has knowledge and as to which it may request indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice will not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights furnished hereunder unless, and then solely to the extent that, the rights of the parties from whom indemnity is sought are materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right (and if they elect to exercise such right, to do so within ten (10) days after receiving such notice from the Indemnified Party) to defend and to direct the defense against any such claim or demand, in its name or in the name of the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall only be entitled to assume control of the defense of such action only to the extent the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its indemnity obligations and assumes and holds the Indemnified Party harmless from and against the full amount of any Loss resulting therefrom; and provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken any action to defend such third party claim within such ten (10) day period; (ii) such claim or demand seeks an Order, injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that (x) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense of such claim or demand or (y) the Indemnified Party has one or more defenses not available to the Indemnifying Party or (iv) such claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such third party claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, and keep the Indemnifying Party fully informed, in the defense of such claim or demand. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any claim or demand with counsel employed at its own expense; provided, however, that, in the case of any claim or demand described in clause (i) or (ii) of the second preceding sentence or as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such claim or demand, the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to any such claim or demand which shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such claim solely involves a claim for monetary Damages and such settlement is accompanied by a document releasing the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to the matter in controversy.

Section 7.05 Procedures for Inter-Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnified Party determines that it has a claim for Damages against an Indemnifying Party hereunder (other than as a result of a Third Party Claim), the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, specifying, to the extent then known, the amount of such claim and any relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall negotiate in good faith for a thirty (30) day period regarding the resolution of any disputed claims for Damages. If no resolution is reached with regard to such disputed claim between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek appropriate remedies in accordance with the terms hereof. Promptly following the final determination of the amount of any Damages claimed by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay such Damages to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer or check made payable to the order of the Indemnified Party, without interest. In the event that the Indemnified Party is required to institute Legal Proceedings in order to recover Damages hereunder, the cost of such Legal Proceedings (including costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) shall be added to the amount of Damages payable to the Indemnified Party if the Indemnified Party recovers Damages in such Legal Proceedings. In the event that a party hereto claiming to be an Indemnified Party institutes Legal Proceedings in order to recover Damages hereunder and the applicable court refuses to award any Damages to such party, such party shall reimburse the defending party for the cost of such Legal Proceedings (including costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements).

Section 7.06 Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided in this Article VII are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.
