Method of Asserting Claims, Etc The party claiming indemnification is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the party against whom such claims are asserted hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” All Claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under this Article 5 shall be asserted as follows: (a) In the event that any Claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party, said Indemnified Party shall, within ten (10) business days from the date upon which the Indemnified Party has Knowledge of such Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Claim or demand) (the “Claim Notice”). The Indemnified Party’s failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability hereunder unless such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the claim or demand. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the giving of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party: (i) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Claim or demand, and (ii) whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claims or demand; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading which he shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect his interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that he, she or it does not dispute liability for indemnification under this Article 5 and that such person desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand and except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or prosecuted by him to a final conclusion. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, the Indemnifying Party has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Indemnifying Party and the position of such Indemnified Party (a “Material Conflict”). If requested by the Indemnifying Party and there is no Material Conflict, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and his, her or its counsel in contesting any Claim or demand which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest or, if appropriate and related to the Claim in question, in making any Counterclaim against the person asserting the third party Claim or demand, or any cross-complaint against any person. No Claim for which indemnity is sought hereunder and for which the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged liability for indemnification under this Article 5 may be settled without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a Claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Claim or demand being asserted against or sought to be collected from him by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall give a Claim Notice with respect to such Claim to the Indemnifying Party. If, after receipt of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that he, she or it disputes such Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have admitted liability for such Claim in the amount set forth in the Claim Notice. (c) The Indemnifying Party shall be given the opportunity to defend the respective Claim.

If the Supplier/Service Provider fails to do so or cannot legally do so, Transnet may (i) purchase the Goods/Services from such other supplier in which case the obligations, including, but not limited to, any purchase and sale requirements and/or commitments, if any, of Transnet and the Supplier/Service Provider hereunder shall be reduced accordingly; (ii) terminate this Agreement without any penalty, liability or further obligation; or (iii) continue purchases under this Agreement. 17.6 If during the period of this Agreement the Supplier/Service Provider sells any materials which are the same as, equivalent to, or substantially similar to the Goods/Services herein, at a total delivered cost to a third party lower than the total delivered cost to a Transnet facility, then the Supplier/Service Provider has an opportunity to adjust its Price for the Goods/Services purchased hereunder within 30 [thirty] calendar days so that the Price is the same or lower than the total delivered cost of such third party. If the Supplier/Service Provider fails to do so or cannot legally do so, Transnet may (i) purchase the Goods/Services from any other such supplier, in which case the obligations, including, but not limited to, any purchase and sale requirements and/or commitments, if any, of Transnet and the Supplier/Service Provider hereunder shall be reduced accordingly; or
Purchase Price Adjustment (a) Within 90 days following the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Schedule”) setting forth: (i) the Buyer’s determination of the actual amounts of (A) the Adjustment Amount, including the Final Adjustment Amount Overage or the Final Adjustment Amount Underage (the “Final Adjustment Amount”), and (B) the Seller Indebtedness Amount, in each case as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date without taking into account any of the transactions to be completed on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) a calculation of any adjustments to the Closing Payment based on such calculations (the adjusted Closing Payment as a result of such calculation being the “Final Closing Payment”); and (iii) a calculation of the accounts receivable contained in the Preliminary Adjustment Amount that were not collected by Buyer within the thirty (30) days immediately following the Closing and the accounts receivable existing at the Closing but not taken into account in calculating the Adjustment Amount (the “Excluded AR”). (b) Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Closing Schedule, the Seller may deliver a notice to Buyer either: (i) concurring with the Closing Schedule (a “Notice of Concurrence”); or (ii) disagreeing therewith (a “Notice of Disagreement”). If the Seller delivers a Notice of Disagreement, then it shall be accompanied by the Seller’s proposed revisions to the Closing Schedule. If the Seller fails to deliver any notice within such 15-day period, the Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Concurrence. (c) If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and if the Final Closing Payment is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and the Final Closing Payment is greater than the Closing Payment, Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Notice of Concurrence. (d) If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered, then the Seller and the Buyer shall, during the 15-day period following such delivery (the “Negotiation Period”), use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the Final Adjustment Amount. If, during such period, the Seller and the Buyer are unable to reach agreement, they promptly shall engage a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to each such party (the “Independent Auditor”) to resolve the disagreement, and any such resolution shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, absent fraud or manifest error. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is more than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of such resolution. (e) Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor.
Purchase Price Adjustments (a) The Parties agree that, so long as any distributions made are reflected in Closing Working Capital and in any adjustments to the Purchase Price under Section 1.4(c), the Seller shall have the right, at or prior to the Closing, to cause the Company to distribute cash to the Seller or its Affiliates, by one or more dividends and/or other distributions. (b) Within 90 calendar days following the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”), in accordance with the Accounting Principles, which shall include (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, (ii) a calculation of the total Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”), (iii) a calculation of the Working Capital Deficit or the Working Capital Excess, as the case may be (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the Buyer’s calculation of the Target Working Capital), (iv) a calculation of Closing Cash, (v) a calculation of Closing Indebtedness, (vi) a calculation of Transaction Expenses and (vii) the Buyer’s determination of the final Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price”) resulting therefrom. For purposes of the Buyer’s preparation of the Closing Statement, the Seller shall make available or provide reasonable access to the Buyer and its Representatives, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, all information, books, records, data and working papers created or used in connection with the preparation of the Estimated Working Capital Certificate, to the extent not in the possession of the Company or the Buyer. The Seller shall have a period of 30 calendar days after delivery of the Closing Statement to review (and cause the Seller’s auditors to review) such documents and make any objections it may have in writing to the Buyer. For purposes of the Seller’s evaluation of the Closing Statement, the Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, make available or provide reasonable access to the Seller and its Representatives, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, all information, books, records, data and working papers created or used in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement; and shall permit reasonable access, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, to the facilities and personnel of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Seller and its Representatives to analyze the Closing Statement. If the Seller delivers written objections to the Buyer within such 30-day period, then the Buyer and the Seller shall attempt to resolve the matter or matters in dispute. If no written objections are made by the Seller within such 30-day period, then the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If disputes with respect to the Closing Statement cannot be resolved by the Buyer and the Seller within 30 calendar days after timely delivery of any objections thereto, then, at the request of the Buyer or the Seller, the specific matters in dispute (but no others) shall be submitted to such independent accounting firm as may be approved by the Seller and the Buyer (the “Auditors”), which firm shall render its opinion as to such specific matters. If no such referral is made within 45 calendar days after the delivery of the objections, then the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If all objections are so resolved between the Parties prior to such time, the Closing Statement with such changes as have been agreed in writing by the Buyer and the Seller shall be final and binding on the Parties. The matters to be resolved by the Auditors shall be limited to the remaining unresolved disputes between the Buyer and the Seller. The Parties shall cooperate with the Auditors during its engagement, and the Auditors shall have access to the books and records of the Company and the Buyer, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, the Parties’ accountants to the extent that they relate to the unresolved disputes as it may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing such unresolved disputes, provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of the Buyer, the Company or the Seller. The Auditors shall promptly deliver to the Buyer and the Seller a written report setting forth their resolution of the disputes along with their determination of the Final Purchase Price, which determination shall be made in accordance with the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement and shall be final and binding on the Parties. As to each disputed item, the Auditors shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the Buyer’s proposal, on the one hand, or the Seller’s proposal, on the other hand, and shall have no authority to select or propose to the Parties any resolution other than as set forth in one of such two proposals originally submitted to the Auditors. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Auditors in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Auditors shall be borne by the Parties as designated by the Auditors, which designation shall be based upon the inverse proportion of the amount of disputed items resolved in favor of such Party (i.e., so that the prevailing Party bears a lesser amount of such fees and expenses). If the Parties refer a dispute to the Auditors and if the Adjustment Escrow Funds exceed the amount by which the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (as claimed by the Buyer), then the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, promptly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and the remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be paid out pursuant to Section 1.4(c) after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.4. (c) If the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Buyer the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds (and if the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds is less than the amount due to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.4, then at the Buyer’s option the Buyer may recover the remaining amount from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or require the Seller to pay such amount to the Buyer by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Buyer). If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer will pay to the Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Seller the amount of such excess and the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the entire balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds. Any payments pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it disputes such claim, the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.
