(iv) the Closing Transaction Costs; and

(v) the Closing Payment.

The Estimated Closing Statement shall also include instructions that identify (A) the bank account for the Seller and the amount of the Closing Payment to be paid to such bank account at the Closing and (B) the bank accounts designated to facilitate direct payment by the Buyer of the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Transaction Costs, in each case as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, to the applicable payees on behalf of the Company Entities. The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared and calculated using the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement, in accordance with the Accounting Principles and in the same format as the Sample Calculation. The Seller will review any comments proposed by the Buyer with respect to the Estimated Closing Statement, and will consider, in good faith, any appropriate changes; provided that the Seller shall not be required to make any changes proposed by the Buyer that it does not deem appropriate and in the event of any disagreement between the Seller and the Buyer prior to the Closing with respect to the Estimated Closing Statement, the Closing Amounts provided by the Seller in the Estimated Closing Statement shall be used for calculating the Closing Payment. At the request of the Buyer, the Seller shall reasonably cooperate with and assist, and shall cause the Company Entities and each of their respective Representatives to reasonably cooperate with

-4-

and assist, the Buyer and its Representatives in the review of the Estimated Closing Statement (including by taking actions as may be reasonably required to cause the Seller and the Company Entities and their respective accountants to deliver to the Seller and its Representatives copies of their work papers relating to the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement) and provide the Buyer and its Representatives with any information reasonably requested by the Buyer that is necessary for its review of the Estimated Closing Statement; provided that any such review conducted by the Buyer shall not delay the Closing.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, but in any event no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Seller an unaudited statement (the “Closing Statement”), setting forth the Buyer’s good faith calculation of each of the Closing Amounts and the Closing Payment. The Closing Statement shall be prepared and calculated using the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement, in accordance with the Accounting Principles and in the same format as the Sample Calculation. In the event that the Buyer does not deliver the Closing Statement during such 90-day period, the Closing Amounts set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement shall be deemed final and binding and no Purchase Price Adjustment shall be payable.

(c) Upon receipt from the Buyer, the Seller shall have 45 days to review the Closing Statement (the “Review Period”). At the request of the Seller, the Buyer shall:

(i) reasonably cooperate with and assist, and shall cause the Company Entities and each of their respective Representatives to reasonably cooperate with and assist, the Seller and its Representatives in the review of the Closing Statement (including by taking actions as may be reasonably required to cause the Buyer and the Company Entities and their respective accountants to deliver to the Seller and its Representatives copies of their work papers relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement); and

(ii) provide the Seller and its Representatives with any information reasonably requested by the Seller that is necessary for its review of the Closing Statement.

If the Seller disagrees with the Buyer’s computation of the Closing Amounts (each as set forth in the Closing Statement), the Seller shall, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a written notice to the Buyer (the “Notice of Objection”) that sets forth the Seller’s objections to the Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Amounts, as applicable. Any Notice of Objection shall specify those items or amounts with which the Seller disagrees and shall set forth the Seller’s calculation of the Closing Amounts and the Closing Payment based on such objections.

(d) If the Seller does not deliver a Notice of Objection to the Buyer with respect to an item contained in the Closing Statement within the Review Period, the Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Buyer’s calculation of such item in the Closing Statement, and such calculation shall be final, conclusive and binding. If the Seller delivers a Notice of Objection to the Buyer within the Review Period, the Buyer and the Seller shall, during the 30 days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine the amount of the disputed Closing Amounts, as applicable, and the Closing Payment. If, at the end of such 30-day period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, the Buyer and the Seller are unable to resolve their

-5-

disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to the Chicago office of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, LLP, or if such Person refuses such engagement or is no longer independent, a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Buyer and the Seller (the “Independent Expert”), which shall act as an expert in accounting and not as an arbitrator. The Buyer and the Seller shall instruct the Independent Expert promptly to review this ‎Section 2.4, as well as the Closing Statement, Notice of Objection and any other materials reasonably requested by the Independent Expert, and to determine, solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Amounts set forth in the Closing Statement require adjustment. The Independent Expert shall base its determination solely on written submissions by the Buyer and the Seller and the terms of this Agreement and not on an independent review. The Parties shall make available to the Independent Expert all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested by the Independent Expert. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after its retention, the Independent Expert shall deliver to the Buyer and the Seller a report that sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of the Closing Amounts; provided, however, that the Independent Expert may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, nor less than the smallest value for such item claimed by the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, and no determinations by the Independent Expert, including any work or analyses performed by the Independent Expert in connection with its resolution of any dispute under this ‎Section 2.4(d), shall be admissible as evidence in any Proceeding among the Parties, except to the extent necessary to enforce payment obligations under this ‎Section 2.4. The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be allocated between the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the aggregate contested amount not awarded to such Party bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Independent Expert. For example, if (i) the Seller submits a Notice of Objection for $1,000, (ii) the Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Seller, and (iii) the Independent Expert ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Seller $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Expert would be allocated 60% (i.e., 300/500) to the Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to the Seller. The Buyer and the Seller agree to execute, if requested by the Independent Expert, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities in favor of the Independent Expert.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) the “Final Closing Working Capital,” the “Final Closing Cash,” the “Final Closing Indebtedness” and the “Final Closing Transaction Costs” mean (A) if the Seller does not timely deliver a Notice of Objection pursuant to ‎Section 2.4(c), the amounts of such items in the Closing Statement, or (B) if the Seller does timely deliver a Notice of Objection, the amount of such items (I) as agreed by the Buyer and the Seller pursuant to ‎Section 2.4(d) or (II) in the absence of such agreement, as set forth in the Independent Expert’s report delivered pursuant to ‎Section 2.4(d); and

(ii) “Purchase Price Adjustment” means the amount (which may be positive or negative) equal to (x) the Purchase Price, as finally determined in accordance with this ‎Section 2.4, minus (y) the Closing Payment.

-6-

(f) Within three Business Days after the Purchase Price Adjustment has been finally determined pursuant to this ‎Section 2.4:

(i) if the Purchase Price Adjustment is a negative number, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the absolute value of the Purchase Price Adjustment (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Buyer at least two Business Days prior to the date of payment); and

(ii) if the Purchase Price Adjustment is a positive number, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the Purchase Price Adjustment (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Seller in the Estimated Closing Statement).

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Seller notifies the Buyer in writing that any amounts otherwise due to the Seller pursuant to ‎Section 2.4(f)(i) or ‎Section 2.4(f)(ii) are to be paid to Employees, (A) the Seller shall pay such amounts to the Buyer, (B) the Buyer shall pay such amounts to the applicable Company Entity, and (C) such Company Entity shall, and the Buyer shall cause the applicable Company Entity to, pay to each applicable Employee the amount designated by Seller through such Company Entity’s next regular payroll (less any applicable withholding).

Section 2.5 Withholding. The Buyer and the Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement (including payments of purchase price) such amounts as the Buyer or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Laws; provided that there shall be no withholding on account of U.S. federal income Taxes on payments to the Seller so long as the Seller complies with the provisions of ‎Section 2.3(b)(ii) of this Agreement, unless such withholding is required as a result of a change in Law after the date of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing sentence, if the Buyer or the Company is required to deduct or withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement (other than payments of wages or other compensation for services), the Buyer or the Company, as applicable, will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Seller with at least three Business Days’ notice of its determination that is required to make such deduction or withholding and shall cooperate with the Seller to reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer or the Company, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

After such eight-year period, the Party holding such Tax Returns or other documents may dispose of them.

(c) Straddle Periods. If a Company Entity is permitted, but not required, under applicable foreign, state or local Tax Laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, such day shall be treated as the last day of a taxable period. For all purposes of this Agreement, including and for purposes of calculating the Closing Amounts:

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any Taxes for a taxable period including but not ending on the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) with respect to the Company Entities shall be apportioned between the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the period commencing on the day immediately following the Closing Date, based on the actual operations of the Company Entities, as the case may be, by a closing of the books of the Company Entities, as if the Closing Date were the end of a Tax year, and each such portion of such period shall be deemed to be a taxable period (whether or not it is in fact a taxable period). For purposes of computing the Taxes attributable to the two portions of a taxable period pursuant to this ‎Section 5.8(c), the amount of any item that is taken into account only once for each taxable period (e.g., the benefit of graduated Tax rates, exemption amounts, etc.) shall be allocated between the two portions of the period in proportion to the number of days in each such portion.

-42-

(ii) In the case of any property Taxes or other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis that are payable during the Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period.

(iii) In the case of Taxes imposed on any Company Entity, the Buyer, or any Buyer Indemnitees as a result of income of any Flow-Thru Entity realized prior to the Closing Date (such income being computed assuming the Flow-Thru Entity had a year that ends on the Closing Date and closed its books), such Taxes shall be treated as Taxes of the applicable Company Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, (A) Transaction Tax Deductions, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and (B) any Taxes attributable to any action taken by the Buyer or any Company Entity on or after the Closing that is not in the ordinary course of business shall be allocated to the taxable period beginning after the Closing Date.

(d) Tax Refunds.

(i) Subject to ‎Section 5.8(d)(iii), to the extent not taken into account in calculating the Closing Amounts, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company Entities to, pay the Seller the amount of any cash Tax refunds or credits of Taxes actually received by the Company Entities that arise with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any such amount that is credited against the year in which an audit is settled or ultimately concluded) and the amount of any benefit of any overpayment actually received with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any such amount that is credited against the year in which an audit is settled or ultimately concluded) that is applied in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning on or after the Closing Date (other than, in each case, refunds, credits or overpayments attributable to the carryback of losses, credits or similar items from a taxable period or portion thereof beginning on or after the Closing Date), in each case, net of any reasonable costs or Taxes incurred in connection therewith. Such payments shall be made within 15 days of receipt of any such refund or credit or application of any such overpayment by the Buyer or the Company Entities. All other refunds and credits shall be retained by the Buyer or the Company Entities.

(ii) If, subsequent to the payment by Buyer to Seller of any refund or credit there shall be (A) a determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or an analogous provision of state and local law) which results in a disallowance or a reduction of the refund or credit so carried forward or (B) a reduction or disallowance of any Tax refund or credit, Seller shall repay to Buyer any amount which would not have been payable to the Seller pursuant to this ‎Section 5.8(d) had the amount of the payment been determined in light of such determination.

-43-

(iii) Nothing in this ‎Section 5.8(d) shall require that Buyer make any payment with respect to any refund for a Tax (and such refunds shall be for the benefit of the Buyer and the Company Entities) that is with respect to (A) any refund of Tax paid after the Closing Date to the extent Seller has not indemnified Buyer or the applicable Company Entity for such Taxes or (B) any refund for Tax that gives rise to a payment obligation by any Company Entity to any Person under applicable Law or pursuant to a provision of a contract or other agreement entered (or assumed) by any Company Entity on or prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Tax Claims.

(i) If a written notice of any Proceeding with respect to Taxes owed by any Company Entity is received by a the Buyer or Company Entity for a Pre-Closing tax Period or Straddle Period (a “Tax Claim”), the Buyer shall give the Seller prompt written notice, no later than ten days after receipt by such notified Party of such written notice, of such Tax Claim; provided, that the failure or delay by the Buyer to provide notice of such Tax Claim to the Seller shall not affect the rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement except to the extent the Seller has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay.

(ii) After the Closing, upon the Seller delivery of notice to the Buyer within 30 days of the Seller’s receipt of written notice of such Tax Claim, the Seller shall have the right (at its option) to represent the interests of the applicable Company Entity in any Tax Claim relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Period.

The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such group health plan or plans to provide each Continuing Employee with full credit for the year in which the Closing Date occurs for any deductible or co-payment already incurred by the Continuing Employee under the applicable Seller

-49-

Benefit Plan, other than any Foreign Benefit Plan, and for any other out-of-pocket expenses that count against any maximum out-of-pocket expense provision of the applicable group Seller Benefit Plan, other than any Foreign Benefit Plan, or the Buyer’s or such Affiliate’s group health plans.

(f) The Buyer and its Affiliates shall be responsible for all bonuses and commissions for all Continuing Employees in respect of the performance period in which the Closing Date occurs; provided that, for the portion of such performance period preceding the Closing Date, the Buyer shall be liable for such amounts and the employer Taxes attributable thereto only to the extent they have been accrued in the Closing Working Capital calculation. The Buyer or its Affiliates shall timely remit all such amounts to the Continuing Employees.

(g) Effective as of the Closing, the Buyer shall make available to each Continuing Employee who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, was eligible to participate in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Seller or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller 401(k) Plans”) the Buyer’s tax-qualified defined contribution plan or plans with a cash or deferred feature (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”). As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Seller 401(k) Plans shall, to the extent permitted by Section 401(k)(10) of the Code, make distributions available to the applicable Continuing Employees, and the Buyer 401(k) Plan shall accept any such distribution (including loans) as a rollover contribution if so directed by such Continuing Employees.

(h) The Seller and the Buyer shall take all actions necessary or reasonably appropriate so that, effective as of the Closing Date:

(i) the account balances (whether positive or negative) (the “Transferred FSA Balances”) under the applicable flexible spending plan of the Seller or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller FSA Plan”) of the Continuing Employees will be transferred to one or more comparable plans of the Buyer or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer FSA Plan”);

(ii) the elections, contribution levels and coverage levels of such Continuing Employees will apply under the Buyer FSA Plan in the same manner as under the Seller FSA Plan; and

(iii) such Continuing Employees will be reimbursed from the Buyer FSA Plan for claims incurred at any time during the plan year of the Seller FSA Plan in which the Closing Date occurs that are submitted to the Buyer FSA Plan from and after the Closing Date on the same basis and the same terms and conditions as under the Seller FSA Plan.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event within 30 Business Days after the amount of the Transferred FSA Balances is determined, the Seller or its Affiliates shall pay to the Buyer or its Affiliates the net aggregate amount of the Transferred FSA Balances, if such amount is positive, and the Buyer or its Affiliates shall pay to the Seller or its Affiliates the net aggregate amount of the Transferred FSA Balances, if such amount is negative.

(j) Following the Closing Date and only to the extent such vacation, personal days, and sick days are included in the Closing Working Capital calculation, for each Continuing Employee, the Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of the Buyer to, honor all unused vacation, personal days and sick days of each Continuing Employee during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, and immediately following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall cause the Continuing Employees to be subject to, and commence to accrue benefits under, the vacation, sick leave and other personal time off policies of the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer applicable to the respective Continuing Employees. To the extent it is required under applicable Law that, in connection with the Transactions, the Seller or any Company Entity make a payment to any Continuing Employees with respect to his or her unused vacation, personal days or sick days related to the pre-Closing period, the Seller shall be responsible for such payment and the Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be required to honor such unused vacation, personal days or sick days to the extent they were covered by such payment.

Section 5.18 Financing.

(a) The Buyer shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, the Debt Financing Commitment if such amendment, modification, waiver or replacement (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (including by changing the amount of any fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financing) to an amount that would be less than an amount that would be required to consummate the Transactions on the Closing Date and make the other payments required to be made by Buyer or any of its Affiliates hereunder on the Closing Date or (ii) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the terms of the Debt Financing or conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) delay or prevent the Closing, or (B) make the funding of any portion of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing) materially less likely to occur or (C) adversely impact the ability of the Buyer to enforce its rights in any material respect, as applicable, against the other parties to the Debt Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements with respect thereto.

The Notice of Claim shall (i) state that the Indemnitee has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates that it will incur liability for Losses for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) specify in reasonable detail, as applicable and to the extent known, each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated Loss and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled under this Agreement. The Indemnitee shall enclose with the Notice of Claim a copy of all papers served with respect to such Third-Party Claim, if any, and any other documents evidencing such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitee will reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnitor in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnitee and in otherwise resolving such matters.

(b) The Indemnitor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the defense or prosecution of such Third-Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee) and at its sole cost and expense (a “Third-Party Defense”) by providing written notice of such assumption to the Indemnitee within 60 days following delivery of the Notice of Claim. If the Indemnitor assumes the Third-Party Defense in accordance with this Agreement, (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnitor shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, (ii) the Indemnitee will not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim (A) to the extent such judgment or settlement provides for equitable or injunctive relief without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, (B) if such settlement does not include as a term thereof the giving by the Person(s) asserting such claim to the Indemnitee a release from all liability with respect to such claim underlying such judgment or settlement or (C) if such settlement or judgment contains any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnitee. The Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Losses from Third-Party Claims and will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims.

(c) If the Indemnitor does not assume the Third-Party Defense, the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume the Third-Party Defense, at its sole cost and expense (or, if the Indemnitee incurs a Loss with respect to the matter in question for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to ‎Section 8.2 or ‎Section 8.3, as applicable, at the expense of the Indemnitor), upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnitor; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in the Third-Party Defense at its sole cost and expense, but the Indemnitee shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, and (ii) the Indemnitee shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitor if such judgment or settlement imposes any financial or other obligation or Liability on the Indemnitor.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, if (i) the claim seeks only an injunction or other equitable relief, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to them which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor, and, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, counsel for the Indemnitor could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnitee because such interests could be in conflict with those of the Indemnitor, (iii) such Third-Party Claim involves, or could have a material effect on, any material matter beyond the scope of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnitor, (iv) the Indemnitor shall not have assumed the defense of such Third-Party Claim in a timely fashion, or (v) the Third-Party Claim involves a criminal matter.

(e) To the extent there is any conflict between this ‎Section 8.4 and ‎Section 5.8(e) as relates to a Tax Claim, the provisions of ‎Section 5.8(e) shall control.

Section 8.5 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third-Party Claims. The Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in writing as promptly as practicable following its discovery of any matter, circumstance or state of facts for which the Indemnitee may seek indemnification pursuant to this Article ‎VIII that does not involve a Third-Party Claim. Such notice shall (a) state that the Indemnitee has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates that it will incur liability for Losses for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) specify in reasonable detail, as applicable and to the extent known, each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled under this Agreement; provided, however, that a failure or delay by an Indemnitee to provide such notice as promptly as practicable shall not affect the rights or obligations of such Indemnitee unless the Indemnitor shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay. The Indemnitee will reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnitor in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnitee and in otherwise resolving such matters.

Section 8.6 Calculation of Indemnity Payments.

(a) Each Indemnitee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue and collect on any recovery available under any insurance policies; provided, that the availability of such insurance shall not preclude a claim or recovery on a timely basis against an Indemnitor. The

-69-

amount of Losses payable under this Article ‎VIII by the Indemnitor shall be reduced by any and all amounts recovered by the Indemnitee under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor (net of all costs and expenses associated with the recovery thereof, including any insurance premium increases or loss of coverage resulting therefrom, with respect to insurance policies other than the R&W Policy). If the Indemnitee receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnitor, then such Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitor for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnitor in connection with providing such indemnification up to the amount received by the Indemnitee, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in collecting such amount.

(b) Each Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable under this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties shall treat any payment made pursuant to this Article ‎VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, and the Parties shall treat any such payments as such for all applicable Tax purposes.
