Section 3.1 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price to be paid for the Acquired Assets shall be Seven Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,200,000) (the “Purchase Price”) subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.4. In addition to the payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 3.2, as consideration for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Acquired Assets, Buyer shall assume and discharge the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 3.2 Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) By the end of the second Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have delivered to Buyer a certificate, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which has been approved by Buyer (the “Working Capital Certificate”), signed by an executive officer of Seller, which shall set forth the amount of the Estimated Working Capital.

(b) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid (subject to Sections 3.5), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to Seller, the Purchase Price plus the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment minus the amount of Indebtedness referenced in the following clause (ii) minus the Escrow Amount, to such account as is specified prior to the Closing by Seller, (ii) to the intended beneficiaries thereof as identified in the Payoff Letters provided to Buyer prior to Closing, the Indebtedness required to be paid at the Closing in order to release any Lien on an Acquired Asset, and (iii) to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Amount, to such account as is specified prior to the Closing by the Escrow Agent.

Section 3.3 Escrow. At the Closing, Buyer shall, in accordance with Section 3.2(b), deposit into an escrow account with the Escrow Agent, the aggregate amount of One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000) (the “Escrow Amount”) as a source for effecting the payment and discharge of any indemnification obligations of Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Parties set forth in Article VIII of this Agreement, amounts related to adjustments pursuant to Section 3.4, and any indemnification obligations of Seller’s Affiliate, Videology Imaging Solutions Europe B.V., to Ambrell B.V. (a subsidiary of Guarantor) and its Affiliates pursuant to the Europe B.V. Asset Purchase Agreement. The Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent and payable to the Parties pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement among Buyer, Seller and the Escrow Agent, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”).

Section 3.4 Adjustment of Purchase Price for Working Capital.

The amount of the Final Working Capital shall be determined in the following manner:

(a) Representatives of Seller and Buyer will jointly perform, within the two days immediately following the Closing Date, a physical count of the Inventory and mutually agree upon the total quantity of such Inventory as of the Effective Time. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a statement in accordance with GAAP and the Working Capital Methodology which shall set forth its calculation of the Final Working Capital (the “Working Capital Statement”), together with reasonably detailed supporting information. For purposes of preparing the Working Capital Statement and determination of the amounts of the Final Working Capital, in the event of any conflict between GAAP and the provisions of this Agreement, GAAP shall control.

(b) Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date of its receipt of the Working Capital Statement to review the Working Capital Statement as to the calculation and amounts of the Final Working Capital reflected thereon. Buyer shall provide to Seller and its accountants and Representatives reasonable access upon reasonable prior notice to all work papers, documentation and data prepared or used by Buyer in connection with preparation of the Working Capital Statement. If Seller disputes any amounts shown on the Working Capital Statement, Seller must give to Buyer, prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day review period, written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) of any objections of Seller to the Working Capital Statement setting forth Seller’s calculation of the Final Working Capital and describing in reasonable detail the basis (including for each component of the Final Working Capital, the difference and the amount thereof and reasons therefor) for the determination of such different amount. Any items not disputed in the Dispute Notice will be deemed to have been accepted by Seller. If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice with respect to the Working Capital Statement within such 30-day period, such Working Capital Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If Seller delivers a timely Dispute Notice in accordance with the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. Seller will provide Buyer and its accountants and Representatives reasonable access upon reasonable prior notice to all work papers, documentation and data prepared or used by Seller in the preparation of Seller’s proposed calculation of Final Working Capital.

(c) If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree in writing on the resolution of all items disputed in a Dispute Notice pursuant to subsection (b) above within fifteen (15) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Dispute Notice, the unresolved disputed items will be referred for final binding resolution to the Accounting Arbitrator. The Accounting Arbitrator’s function shall be to review only those specific components set forth on the Working Capital Statement and Dispute Notice that Seller and Buyer were not able to resolve and that remain in dispute and to resolve the dispute with respect to such specific components. The Accounting Arbitrator shall determine, based solely on presentations by Buyer and Seller and their respective Representatives, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the Accounting Arbitrator’s determination on the dispute. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Arbitrator shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, and shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value claimed by Buyer to the Accounting Arbitrator (which cannot be greater than the value for such item in the Working Capital Statement) or claimed by Seller to the Accounting Arbitrator (which cannot be greater than the value for such item in the Dispute Notice) or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Buyer to the Accounting Arbitrator (which cannot be less than the smallest value for such item in the Working Capital Statement) or claimed by Seller to the Accounting Arbitrator (which cannot be less than the smallest value for such item in the Dispute Notice). The Accounting Arbitrator may not award the Parties in the aggregate more than the amount in dispute. The Accounting Arbitrator shall be requested with respect to all disputed items submitted to it to render its written decision within thirty (30) days of submission or as soon as practicable thereafter, and shall send copies of such written decision to Buyer and Seller. Seller shall pay or cause to be paid that portion of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of disputed items submitted to the Accounting Arbitrator that are resolved in favor of Buyer (computed as the aggregate sum of the difference for each disputed item between the Accounting Arbitrator’s determination and the amount claimed by Seller in its presentation to the Accounting Arbitrator for such disputed item) and the denominator of which is the total amount of disputed items submitted to the Accounting Arbitrator (computed as the aggregate sum of the difference for each disputed item of the amount claimed by Buyer in its presentation to the Accounting Arbitrator for such disputed item and the amount claimed by Seller in its presentation to the Accounting Arbitrator for such disputed item). Buyer shall pay that portion of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator that Seller is not required to pay pursuant to the preceding sentence. The amount of the Final Working Capital (as agreed upon by Buyer and Seller or as finally determined by the Accounting Arbitrator pursuant to this Section 3.4(c), as the case may be) shall be considered final and binding on the Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Seller agree to be bound by all such determinations made pursuant to this Section 3.4, including all resolutions of disputed items determined by agreement of Buyer and Seller.

(d) If Final Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital, then the Purchase Price will be adjusted downward, dollar for dollar, by the amount of such shortfall and Seller shall pay to Buyer, by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer, an amount in cash equal to such shortfall within five (5) Business Days from the date on which Final Working Capital is finally determined.

(e) If Final Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Working Capital, then the Purchase Price will be adjusted upward, dollar for dollar, by the amount of such excess and Buyer shall pay to Seller, by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller, an amount in cash equal to such excess within five (5) Business Days from the date on which Final Working Capital is finally determined.

(f) If Final Working Capital as finally determined is equal to the Estimated Working Capital, then there will be no adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 3.5 Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer or its designee shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall provide Seller with prior written notice of the intent to withhold on such amounts at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date that such payment is required to made to give Seller the opportunity to provide such additional documentation necessary to mitigate or eliminate such withholding.

Section 3.6 Allocation of Purchase Price. Buyer and Seller agree that the Purchase Price (as adjusted) and the Assumed Liabilities (plus other relevant items for income Tax purposes) as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.4, shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets for all purposes (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) in accordance with the methodology set forth on Section 3.6 of the Disclosure Letter (the “Allocation Methodology”). Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Allocation Methodology has been prepared in accordance with Code Section 1060 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the determination of the Final Working Capital, Buyer shall deliver to Seller the draft Purchase Price Allocation allocating the Purchase Price and all other items treated as consideration for federal income Tax purposes, including any adjustments thereto and the Assumed Liabilities, among the Acquired Assets in accordance with the Allocation Methodology. Within twenty (20) days of Seller’s receipt of such draft Purchase Price Allocation, Seller shall provide any objection in writing to Buyer with a written explanation setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for any proposed changes (“Allocation Objection”). If Seller does not provide Buyer with an Allocation Objection within such 20-day period, the Purchase Price Allocation shall become final and binding on the Parties (the “Final Allocation”). If Seller delivers an Allocation Objection to Buyer in accordance with the foregoing within such 20–day period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute within twenty (20) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Allocation Objection. If the Parties are able to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement as to any proposed changes, the Purchase Price Allocation shall be modified to reflect such agreed changes and become the Final Allocation. In the event Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any dispute within such 20-day period, Buyer and Seller shall jointly request the Accounting Arbitrator to resolve any issue in dispute. The Accounting Arbitrator shall resolve such issues in accordance with the Allocation Methodology and Section 1060 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder. The fees and expenses payable to the Accounting Arbitrator shall be split equally between Buyer and Seller. The Final Allocation (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.6) shall be binding upon the Parties for federal, state, foreign and local Tax purposes. Each Party agrees that it shall file, and shall cause its Affiliates to file, their Tax Returns (and IRS Form 8594) in a manner entirely consistent with the Final Allocation and no Party shall voluntarily take a position inconsistent with the Final Allocation and no Party shall agree to any proposed adjustment to the Final Allocation by any Governmental Entity without first giving Buyer (in the case of an agreement by Seller) or Seller (in the case of an agreement by Buyer) prior written notice; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or Seller from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Entity based upon or arising out of the Final Allocation, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Entity challenging such Final Allocation. If there is an increase or decrease in the consideration within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1060-1(e)(ii)(B) after the Parties have filed the initial IRS Form 8594, the Parties shall revise the Final Allocation in a manner consistent with the Allocation Methodology and Section 1060 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder and such revised allocation shall become the Final Allocation for purposes of this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.6, the Parties agree not to take any position, in connection with any Tax Return, audit or similar Proceeding related to Taxes, that is inconsistent with the Final Allocation (as finally prepared pursuant to this Section 3.6).

Section 3.7 Guarantor. In consideration of Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and its agreement to perform the transactions contemplated hereby, and as a material inducement of such execution, delivery and performance, Guarantor hereby guarantees the full, complete and timely performance of Buyer’s obligations under, and Buyer’s compliance with, Article III of this Agreement only. The liability of Guarantor hereunder is absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The liability of Guarantor shall be direct and not conditional or contingent on the pursuit of remedies against Buyer. Seller may, at its option, proceed against Guarantor to collect the liability of Buyer pursuant to Article III herein. The separate guarantee of Guarantor shall be a continuing separate guarantee, and the above consent and waiver of Guarantor shall remain in full force and effect until the liability of Buyer under Article III hereunder is paid in full. It is expressly agreed and understood by the Parties hereto that this guaranty does not extend to the liability of Buyer under Section 2.3, or any other provision of this Agreement other than Article III. This guaranty by Guarantor is only for the amounts due, if any, pursuant to Article III of this Agreement.

Section 4.21 Intellectual Property; Privacy.

(a) Section 4.21(a) of the Disclosure Letter contains a complete and accurate list of all (i) registrations or issuances of any Business Intellectual Property Rights owned or purported to be owned by Seller, (ii) pending applications for registration or issuance of any Business Intellectual Property Rights owned or purported to be owned by Seller, (iii) Contracts under which Seller has granted or licensed to any third party any Business Intellectual Property Rights (a “Licenses-Out”), (iv) Contracts under which a third party has granted or licensed to Seller any Business Intellectual Property Rights (“Licenses-In”), (v) proprietary Software owned or purported to be owned by Seller, (vi) Trade Secrets owned or purported to be owned by Seller, (vii) unregistered Marks owned or purported to be owned by Seller, and (viii) Domain Names registered in the name of Seller or for which Seller is the registrant, in each case and as applicable, categorized by type (e.g., Patents, Marks, Domain Names, Copyrights, Contracts, Trade Secrets and Software). Correct and complete copies of all such registrations, applications and Contracts, in each case, as amended, or otherwise modified and in effect, have been made available to Buyer. The applications, registrations, and issuances of any Business Intellectual Property Rights identified in subsection (i) and (ii) above and all associated Business Intellectual Property Rights (the “Registered Business Intellectual Property”), as well as all other Business Intellectual Property Rights owned or purported to be owned by Seller (the “Owned Business Intellectual Property”) are active, subsisting, and enforceable. None of the Owned Business Intellectual Property, nor to Seller’s Knowledge any other Business Intellectual Property Rights, has expired or been cancelled, abandoned, or otherwise terminated. All required filings and fees related to the Registered Business Intellectual Property have been timely submitted and paid to the appropriate Governmental Entities. No act or omission has occurred or is occurring that would reasonably be expected to result in or cause the abandonment, cancellation, loss, lapse, or expiration of any of the Owned Business Intellectual Property or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the other Business Intellectual Property Rights.

(b) Seller owns exclusively and beneficially, free and clear of all Liens, all rights, title, and interests in and to the Owned Business Intellectual Property and has the valid right to use, free and clear of all Liens, all of the other Business Intellectual Property Rights, including the Intellectual Property Rights associated with the Intellectual Property listed on Section 4.21(a) of the Disclosure Letter, and no Business Intellectual Property Rights are in the control of any Person other than Seller. Except as set forth on Section 4.21(b)(i) of the Disclosure Letter, Seller has the right to use, sell, license, dispose of and freely assign, and has the right to bring actions for the infringement of, all Business Intellectual Property Rights, without restriction or limitation (other than pursuant to applicable Law). Seller is not under any obligation to pay any royalty, license fee or other similar consideration to any Person or to obtain any approval or consent for use of any Business Intellectual Property Rights (except, in the case of licensed Business Intellectual Property Rights, as set forth in the license therefor and which license is referred to in Section 4.21(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Letter).

(c) The Business Intellectual Property Rights comprise all of the Intellectual Property Rights material to and necessary for the operation of the Business (including the manufacture, advertising, marketing, promotion, offering for sale, sale, and distribution of Products) in the manner operated in the prior 12 months. All Products made, manufactured, used, advertised, offered for sale or sold under any Patents or Copyrights or in connection with any Marks that are part of the Acquired Assets are properly marked with patent notices, trademark notices, and/or copyright notices. All Marks shown or used on Products are owned by Seller or lawfully licensed for Seller’s use in the manner so used by Seller.

(d) The Business Intellectual Property Rights and Seller’s operation of the Business since January 1, 2018 have not and do not infringe upon, misappropriate, dilute, unfairly compete with, or otherwise violate or conflict with the Intellectual Property Rights of any Person or would give or have given rise to an obligation to render an accounting to any Person as a result of co-authorship, co-ownership, or co-invention, nor does their exist any valid basis for any such claim or action. After the Effective Time, Buyer will be able to continue to exclusively own, use, license or sub-license all Business Intellectual Property Rights in the same manner as Seller prior to the Effective Time and Buyer’s ownership, use, licensing or sub-licensing of such Business Intellectual Property Rights will not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate or conflict with any Intellectual Property Rights of any Person or unfairly compete with any Person. Seller is not aware of any infringement, violation, misappropriation, or unlicensed use of any of the Business Intellectual Property Rights or of any claim of unfair competition against the Business. Seller has not received notice of any adversely held Intellectual Property Right of any other Person alleging or threatening to assert that Seller’s use of any of the Business Intellectual Property Rights infringes upon, misappropriates, dilutes, violates or is in conflict with any Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights of any Person. There is no basis for any charge, claim, suit or action asserting any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution, or violation, or asserting that Seller does not have the legal right to use any Business Intellectual Property Rights or that the Business unfairly competes with any Person. No other Person is, to Seller’s Knowledge, currently infringing upon, misappropriating, diluting, or violating any right of Seller with respect to the Business Intellectual Property Rights. No Business Intellectual Property Right is subject to any action, Contract (other than the Assumed Contracts), or outstanding order or settlement agreement or stipulation that restricts in any material manner the use, provision, transfer, assignment or licensing thereof by Seller (or, after the Effective Time, Buyer) or materially affects the validity, use or enforceability of such Business Intellectual Property Right.

(e) All Registered Business Intellectual Property has been duly filed, registered or issued, as the case may be, with the appropriate Governmental Entity and have been properly maintained and renewed in accordance with all applicable Laws. Seller has used and uses its best efforts to diligently protect its rights in the Business Intellectual Property Rights, including the confidential nature of all Trade Secrets (including any Trade Secrets of third parties to whom Seller owed or owes a duty of confidentiality), and there have been no acts or omissions by Seller, the result of which would be to compromise the rights of Seller (or Buyer after the Effective Time) to apply for or enforce appropriate legal protection afforded by such Business Intellectual Property Rights or that would result in the abandonment, dedication to the public domain, or loss of any right sin or to any Business Intellectual Property Rights.

(f) All third party Software used in connection with the Business or otherwise residing on Seller’s computer or information technology systems is properly licensed, and Seller has not made any unlicensed copies of such Software except those permitted for archival and back-up purposes as may be permitted per applicable Law. The Software (excluding commercially available off the shelf software licensed pursuant to a “shrink-wrap license” (or the functional equivalent) purchased for $10,000 or less (“Commercial Software”)) that is used or held for use by Seller or otherwise necessary to the operation of the Business or ownership of the Acquired Assets, including any embedded or integrated third party Software, does not contain any open source software, shareware or freeware. Any Software created or developed by Seller or on its behalf is free and clear of any defects, malware, viruses or other Harmful Code. To the Knowledge of Seller, the use, sale or licensing of the Software is not governed, in whole or in part, by the terms of the GNU General Public License or any other license requiring (as a license condition or otherwise) Seller to disclose, assign, or license any source code or any other content associated with the Software.

(g) Each current and former employee of Seller and each current and former independent contractor or other Person retained by Seller who, either alone or in concert with others, created or creates, developed or develops, invented or invents, discovered or discovers, derived or derives, programmed or programs or designed or designs any of the Business Intellectual Property Rights, has entered into a written agreement with Seller (i) presently assigning all such Business Intellectual Property Rights to Seller to the fullest extent permitted per applicable Law, (ii) providing that such employee, independent contractor or other Person waives any moral rights thereto to the fullest extent permitted per applicable Law, and (iii) containing confidentiality provisions reasonably tailored to protect any Trade Secrets. No former owner, Affiliate, employee or independent contractor of Seller, or other Person, has any valid claim or right to any of the Owned Business Intellectual Property. No employee of Seller is a party to or otherwise bound by any Contract with or obligated to any other Person (including any former employer) which prevents such employee from performing services for the Business.

(h) Seller has used commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with industry standards and in compliance with all applicable Data Protection Laws, to protect from unauthorized use or disclosure all Personal Data related to the Business collected by Seller or in the possession, custody, or control of Seller. Seller, and each of its respective employees, agents, Representatives, and contractors to whom such Personal Data has been disclosed, collected, provided or made available by or on behalf of Seller (or its or their third party service providers), are, and have (i) been in compliance with all applicable Data Protection Laws, (ii) been in compliance with all of Seller’s respective Policies (and any applicable third party Policies), and (iii) implemented reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are designed to protect against unauthorized use, access and disclosure of such Personal Data. Seller has contractually required any third parties to whom such Personal Data has been disclosed, provided or made available, to have in place reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and compliant with all applicable Data Protection Laws. Seller has secured all consents necessary to permit the disclosure or exchange of such Personal Data to any third Person to whom Seller has provided or made available such Personal Data. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement does not violate the privacy rights of any Person and Seller has secured all consents, and issued all notifications, required to permit the transactions contemplated hereunder and in a manner compliant with all Data Protection Laws. Seller and its employees and, to the Knowledge of Seller, its agents, Representatives, and contractors have complied with all contractual obligations to which they are or were bound concerning the collection, storage, handling, use, disclosure, transmission, possession, disposal, Processing, or any breach of any Personal Data. Seller and its employees and, to the Knowledge of Seller, its agents, Representatives and contractors have obtained all requisite consents, permissions, and/or authorizations necessary for Seller or such Persons to use or disclose such Personal Data as used or disclosed by Seller or such Persons. Buyer will have the right to use any such Personal Data after the Effective Time, as used by Seller prior to the Effective Time, without notifying the Persons about whom such Personal Data relates or otherwise obtaining their consent. Buyer’s use of such Personal Data will not violate any Data Protection Laws. Seller has not received any written complaint concerning the collection, Processing, use, or disclosure of any such Personal Data and there have been no Proceedings asserted or brought against Seller or any of its employees, nor, to the Knowledge of Seller, any of its agents, Representatives or contractors concerning such Personal Data or Seller’s compliance with any Data Protection Law.

(i) Seller has adequate disaster recovery and security plans and procedures designed to protect the continuity of the Business and Seller’s computer systems, networks and servers from failure, unauthorized use or access, and Seller is in compliance with such plans and procedures. Seller has comprehensive security plans that are reasonably designed to (i) identify internal and external risks to the security of any proprietary information of the Business and any Personal Data held or used by Seller in connection with the Business, and (ii) implement, monitor and improve safeguards to control those risks. There have been no actual or threatened breaches of the security of Seller’s or its employees’ or, to the Knowledge of Seller, its agents’, Representatives’ or contractors’ computer systems, networks or servers, or any loss or unauthorized disclosure of Personal Data in the possession, custody, or control of Seller or any of its employees, agents, Representatives, or contractors, which required notice to any third Person and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there is no reason or reasons to expect that such a breach or any other unauthorized use, access, or disclosure of any Personal Data or any proprietary information of the Business has occurred. The computer hardware, servers, networks, and other information technology equipment or systems owned or used by Seller are reasonably sufficient for operation of the Business as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted. There has been no material disruption of the hardware, servers, networks, and other information technology equipment or systems owned or used by Seller in the operation of the Business.

(k) Seller has complied with all terms of use, terms of service, and other Contracts, guidelines, and policies relating to its use of social media platforms, sites, or services related to the Business and there is no reasonable basis to believe that Seller is in violation of any such terms of use, terms of service, Contracts, guidelines, and/or policies.

(l) Seller owns or has exclusive control over all Domain Names comprising the Acquired Assets (including all login or access credentials for any social media accounts and Domain Name registrations) and no employee, contractor or other Person owns, maintains, or controls such login or access credentials.

Section 4.22 Transactions with Related Parties. No shareholder, director, officer or employee of Seller or any member of such shareholder’s, director’s, officer’s or employee’s immediate family, or any Affiliate thereof or any entity in which any such Person owns more than a five percent ownership interest (a) owns or has owned any interest in any Acquired Asset or any property or assets owned by Seller used in or pertaining to the Business, (b) is a party to any Assumed Contract or any other Contract of Seller with respect to the Business, (c) has had any business dealings or a direct or indirect financial interest in any transaction with Seller with respect to the Business, or (d) owns any interest in, or is a director, officer, owner of, or lender to or borrower from, or has the right to participate in the profits of, any Person which is a competitor, supplier, customer or landlord of Seller with respect to the Business.

Seller expressly acknowledges that the Confidential Information is a unique asset, access to and knowledge of which are essential to preserve the goodwill and going business value of the Business. In recognition of this fact, Seller agrees that, for a period of five years after the Closing Date (provided that, the obligations in this Section 6.10(a) shall survive with respect to Confidential Information that is a trade secret for so long as it remains a trade secret pursuant to applicable Law), Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, keep confidential and not disclose to any Person any Confidential Information known to or in the possession or control of Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives and that Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, use, misappropriate, exploit or publish any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of Buyer, (i) unless such information is generally known to the public other than as a result of breach of this Agreement by Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, or (ii) except to the extent Seller is legally obligated to disclose such information pursuant to a federal or state court order or legal Proceedings or pursuant to a subpoena or requirement of any Governmental Entity; provided Seller gives Buyer, as promptly as practicable, prior written notice of such intended disclosure to enable Buyer to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure, and cooperates with Buyer in connection therewith. The term “Confidential Information,” as used in this Agreement, shall mean any and all confidential, proprietary, technical, business or financial information of or concerning the Business or the Acquired Assets, including marketing and financial information, personnel, sales and statistical data, plans for future development, computer programs, information and knowledge pertaining to the products and services offered, inventions, innovations, designs, ideas, records, plans, drawings, intellectual property, technical data, source and object codes, software, proprietary information, processes, systems, documents, writings, manuals, inventions, discoveries, formulae, recipes, advertising, manufacturing, sales methods and systems, pricing information, sales and profit figures, sales volume, research/development activities, customer and distributor lists, and relationships with customers, distributors, suppliers, licensees, licensors, consultants and others who have business dealings with the Business and information with respect to various techniques, procedures, processes and methods. Confidential Information also includes confidential or proprietary information received by Seller from third parties or otherwise subject to an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

(b) Beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until the five year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller, and each of its Affiliates set forth on Section 6.10(b) of the Disclosure Letter, shall not (whether directly or indirectly, through an Affiliate or some other Person, or in the name or on behalf of an Affiliate or some other Person) directly or indirectly, through an Affiliate or some other Person, or in the name or on behalf of an Affiliate or some other Person) (i) anywhere in the world own, manage, operate, control, finance or participate in the ownership, management, operation, control or participate in the financing of, render financial assistance to, be connected as an officer, director, manager, employee, consultant or otherwise with, use or permit Seller’s name to be used in connection with, or develop products or services for, any Competing Business; (ii) solicit, cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, distributor, supplier, licensee, licensor, consultant or other business relation (other than any employee) of the Business to cease doing business with Buyer, or to modify such Person’s relationship with Buyer, or do any act which would be reasonably be likely to interfere with or result in the impairment of such Person’s relationship with Buyer; or (iii) solicit for employment, cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce to leave the employ of Buyer or any Person who is then, or was within the prior twelve month period, an employee of the Business or hire any such Person as an employee or consultant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 6.10(b) shall not restrict Seller, or each of its Affiliates set forth on Section 6.10(b) of the Disclosure Letter, from, with respect to clause (b)(iii) above, (A) soliciting or hiring any employee whose employment has been terminated by the Business without cause at least six months prior to the first date of such solicitation or hiring, or (B) any general solicitation for employment (including though third party recruiters or executive search firms) not directed at Buyer or any of the applicable employees of the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s or its Affiliates’ ownership of securities of two percent (2%) or less of any class of securities of a public company shall not be considered to be a violation of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ obligations under Section 6.10(b). The Parties agree that the Affiliates of Seller set forth on Section 6.10(b) of the Disclosure Letter shall be deemed Parties to this Agreement for the purposes of this Section 6.10 and shall be bound by the provisions contained in this Section 6.10.

(c) If any provision of Sections 6.10(a) or 6.10(b) is adjudged to be void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such adjudication shall not affect the validity of the remainder of Sections 6.10(a) or 6.10(b). In the event that any portion of Sections 6.10(a) or 6.10(b) should ever be adjudicated to exceed the maximum time, geographic, service, product or other limitations permitted by applicable Law, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed to the maximum time, geographic, service, product or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. Seller agrees that, in the event of a violation of Sections 6.10(a) or 6.10(b), the duration of the restriction violated shall be extended by the period of time of such violation.

(d) The covenants contained in this Section 6.10 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 6.10 would cause irreparable injury to Buyer, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at Law for any breach of this Section 6.10 will be inadequate and Buyer’s substantial investment in the Business materially impaired. Accordingly, Seller expressly acknowledges that Seller is voluntarily entering into this Agreement and that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are fair and reasonable to Seller in all respects. Moreover, Seller agrees and acknowledges that Buyer would not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements unless Seller agrees to the provisions of this Section 6.10. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable relief to prevent any breach of this Section 6.10 without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond (in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Buyer may be entitled in respect of any such breach). The Restricted Period shall be automatically tolled and extended for a period of time equal to any period(s) of noncompliance with the restrictions of this Section 6.10.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any merger, sale, reorganization or other transfer of substantially all of the Acquired Assets, the Business or the equity securities of Buyer after Closing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.10 may be transferred to the surviving entity or the acquirer of such assets or equity securities without the consent of Seller.

Section 6.11 Transition Services. For three (3) months following the Closing Date, Owner agrees to remain available to provide Buyer with transition assistance on matters with which Owner was involved during his or her employment, in an amount up to Twenty-Five (25) hours per week. Owner shall render such assistance in a timely manner on reasonable notice from Buyer. Owner shall not be entitled to any separate compensation for the services described in this paragraph (other than reimbursement for reasonable out of pocket expenses actually incurred). Buyer agrees to provide reasonable advance notice of the need for Owner’s assistance and shall exercise reasonable efforts to schedule and limit such matters so as to avoid interfering with Owner’s personal and other professional obligations.

Section 8.2 Indemnification by Seller and Seller’s Shareholders. Seller and, if Seller (i) has distributed any of the Purchase Price to its shareholders, (ii) is no longer in existence, or (iii) is not otherwise able to do any of the following, then the shareholders of Seller set forth on the signature pages hereto, jointly and severally, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, owners, managers, employees, agents, advisors and other Representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, Liabilities, deficiencies, audits, claims, interest, awards, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, fees, Taxes, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing, defending or settling the foregoing) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, resulting from or relating to:

(a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Seller or Owner contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement;

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller or Owner contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(d) any failure to comply with, or assertion against Buyer of, “successor liability,” “bulk sales,” “bulk transfers” or similar Laws or fraudulent transfer Laws;

(a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement;

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or

Section 8.4 Procedures.

(a) Notice of Asserted Liability. In order for a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand that may result in a Loss (a “Liability Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the Party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Liability Claim (the “Claim Notice”), describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible). No delay in or failure to give a Claim Notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8.4(a) will adversely affect any rights or remedies that the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the extent that such delay or failure has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Third Party Claims. If any Claim Notice identifies a Liability Claim brought by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnifying Party has the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party relating to a Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article VIII, to assume and conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense only if the Third Party Claim seeks (and continues to seek) solely monetary damages; the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result; the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing to be fully responsible for all Losses (subject to the limits in this Article VIII) relating to such Third Party Claim; the Third Party Claim does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal Proceeding, allegation or investigation; and (v) such Third Party Claim does not relate to or involve a claim asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is or was formerly a supplier, customer or employee of the Business (the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) are, collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”).

(i) The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, has the right to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 8.4(b):

(A) the Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the Proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and there is a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have one counsel for the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the expense of separate counsel for such Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party;

(B) if any of the Litigation Conditions ceases to be met or the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense, subject to the limits in this Article VIII; and

(C) the Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a unconditional release from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, grants any injunctive or equitable relief or contains any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.4(b), the Indemnified Party may defend, and shall have the right to settle, such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Direct Claims. In the event the Claim Notice does not involve a Third Party Claim, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Direct Claims Dispute Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall by written notice (the “Response Notice”) to the Indemnified Party either concede liability in whole as to the amount claimed in the Claim Notice (the “Claimed Amount”), deny liability in whole as to such Claimed Amount, or concede liability in part and deny liability in part of such Claimed Amount. If a Response Notice is not received by the Indemnified Party prior to the expiration of the Direct Claims Dispute Period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party. If the Parties are not able to resolve any dispute over a claim brought under this subsection (c) within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a Response Notice denying liability in whole or in part, such dispute shall be subject to Section 9.4.

Section 8.5 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) The right to indemnification, payment of Losses or other amounts pursuant to this Agreement or other remedy based upon any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other provision contained in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being required) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other provision or the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, obligation or other provision, and will not affect the right to indemnification or the right to receive any other payments based on such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and other provisions.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: Seller shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from Seller equals or exceeds $20,000 (the “Indemnification Basket”), in which case Seller shall only be obligated to indemnify such Buyer Indemnified Party for the amount of such Losses in excess of the Indemnification Basket; and the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be an amount equal to $720,000 (the “Cap”); provided, that the limitations in (i) and (ii) shall not apply to any inaccuracy in or breach of (x) any Fundamental Representation of Seller, or (y) any representation and warranty that was made by Seller fraudulently. Seller shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) in an aggregate amount greater than the Purchase Price (the “Fundamental Cap”); provided, that the limitation in this sentence shall not apply to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty that was made by Seller fraudulently.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) Buyer shall not be liable to any Seller Indemnified Party for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from Buyer equals or exceeds the Indemnification Basket, in which case Buyer shall only be obligated to indemnify such Seller Indemnified Party for the amount of such Losses in excess of the Indemnification Basket; and (ii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.3(a) shall be an amount equal to the Cap; provided, that the limitations in (i) and (ii) shall not apply to any inaccuracy in or breach of (x) any Fundamental Representation of Buyer, or (y) any representation and warranty that was made by Buyer fraudulently. Buyer shall not be liable to any Seller Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 8.3(a) in an aggregate amount greater than the Fundamental Cap; provided, that the limitation in this sentence shall not apply to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty that was made by Buyer fraudulently.

(d) For purposes of (i) determining whether a breach of or inaccuracy in a representation or warranty has occurred pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) calculating the amount of Losses arising from a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation and warranty for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement shall be read without giving effect to the words “material”, “Material Adverse Effect”, “in any material respect”, “in all material respects” and similar phrases or qualifiers (and shall be treated as if such words were deleted from such representation or warranty).

(e) The amount to which any Indemnified Party is entitled hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim for indemnification, less any costs and expenses (including deductibles and co-insurance) incurred by the Indemnified Party in order to collect such insurance proceeds and less increases in premiums attributable to such amounts.

Section 8.6 Method of Payment for Losses.

(a) With respect to the payment of Losses for claims made pursuant to Section 8.2, the Buyer Indemnified Parties (i) shall look first to the Escrow Amount for recourse pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and (ii) thereafter shall have recourse against Seller for all Losses in excess of the Escrow Amount subject to the limits set forth in Section 8.5(b). Payment of Losses from the Escrow Amount for claims made pursuant to Sections 8.2(b) through (f) will not reduce the Cap or the Fundamental Cap. The Cap shall only be reduced by the payment of Losses for claims that constitute a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Buyer that is not a Fundamental Representation and the Fundamental Cap shall only be reduced by the payment of Losses for claims that constitute a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Buyer that is a Fundamental Representation. Upon the determination of any Loss for which Seller is obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to the procedures of Section 8.4 and this Agreement: (i) if such Loss is to be paid from the Escrow Amount, Buyer and Seller shall promptly deliver a written instruction to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement directing the Escrow Agent to disburse to Buyer an amount equal to such Loss from the Escrow Amount; and (ii) if such Loss is to be paid by Seller, Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days of such determination, pay such amount to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party (to an account specified by Buyer to Seller) by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(b) Upon the determination of any Loss for which Buyer is obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to the procedures of Section 8.4 and this Agreement, Buyer shall, within three (3) Business Days of such determination, pay such amount to the applicable Seller Indemnified Party (to an account specified by Seller) by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c) Within three (3) Business Days after the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (such 18-month period, the “Escrow Period”), Seller shall prepare and Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement to release to the Seller, by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by Seller, the remaining balance of the Escrow Amount then being held by the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that if Seller has received, on or before the expiration of the Escrow Period, one or more Claim Notices submitted in good faith by the Buyer that the Escrow Agent may be required to disburse all or portion of the Escrow Amount (such amount, the “Claim Amount”) to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, then the portion of the Escrow Amount subject to such Claim Notice(s) shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent until the Claim Amount with respect thereto has been resolved. As soon as any dispute with respect to any Claim Amount has been resolved, Buyer and Seller shall be obligated to instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse such portion of the Escrow Amount, if any, as is required to be disbursed to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, in connection with such Claim Amount, and the Escrow Agent shall disburse the entire remaining portion of the Escrow Amount, if any, to Seller.

Section 8.7 Set Off. Buyer may offset any rights to indemnification or other amounts payable to Buyer under this Agreement following the Closing against any amounts due or to become due to Seller under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

The Parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (and each Party agrees not to commence any Proceeding relating hereto or thereto except in such courts). The Parties hereby waive, and agree not to assert, any defense in any Proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, that they are not subject to such courts or that such Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, that the Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of the Proceeding is improper. Service of process with respect thereto may be made upon the Parties by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Party at its address as provided in Section 9.1 hereof.

Section 9.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced as a result of any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

To the extent permitted by Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of Law that renders any such provision prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 9.7 Counterparts. This Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement by facsimile, pdf or other electronic transmission will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

Section 9.8 Waiver; Amendment. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any extension or waiver of any provision hereof shall be valid only if set forth in writing signed on behalf of such Party. No waiver or consent, express or implied, by any Party to or of any breach or default by any Party in the performance by such Party of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such Party of the same or any other obligations of such Party hereunder. No single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any right or power, shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Failure on the part of any Party to complain of any act of any other Party or to declare any other Party in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its rights hereunder until the applicable statute of limitations period has run. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written agreement signed by the Parties.

Section 9.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Letter, and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior contracts or agreements, whether oral or written, including (a) the Non-Disclosure Agreement dated February 2, 2021 between Buyer and OEM Capital Corp., on behalf of Seller, and (b) the Letter of Intent dated July 13, 2021 between Buyer and Seller. The Exhibits are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full herein.

Section 9.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement, except as provided in Article VIII. No provision in this Agreement shall modify or amend any other agreement, plan, program, or document unless this Agreement explicitly states that the provision “amends” such other agreement, plan, program or document. This provision shall not prevent the Parties from enforcing any provision in this Agreement, but no other Person shall be entitled to enforce any provision in this Agreement on the grounds that it is an amendment to another agreement, plan, program or document unless the provision is explicitly designated as such in this Agreement, and the Person is otherwise entitled to enforce the other agreement, plan, program or document. If a Person not entitled to enforce this Agreement brings a lawsuit or other Proceeding to enforce any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to another agreement, plan, program or document, and that provision is construed to be such an amendment despite not being explicitly designated as one in this Agreement, that provision shall lapse retroactively as of its inception, thereby precluding it from having any amendatory effect.

Section 9.11 Reliance on Counsel and Other Advisors. Each Party has consulted such legal, financial, tax, technical and other experts as it deems necessary or desirable before entering into this Agreement. Each Party represents and warrants that it has read, knows, understands and agrees with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 9.12 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each Party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each Party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.13 Transaction Costs. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Buyer shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of Buyer incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the fees, costs and expenses of its financial advisors, accountants and counsel, and Seller shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of Seller incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the fees, costs and expenses of its financial advisors, accountants and counsel.
