2.4.2 Buyer shall retain (the “Holdback”) from the Purchase Price an amount equal to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Holdback Amount”). The Holdback shall be held by Buyer as security for Seller’s obligations and agreements in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Within three (3) Business Days after the Closeout Date (and after giving effect to any deductions from the Holdback prior to the Closeout Date), Buyer shall release from the Holdback all amounts, if any, in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) so that the “Holdback Amount” shall be reduced to an amount equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).

2.4.3 At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Inventory Statement”) in the form of the Inventory Schedule, setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the Inventory as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Inventory Amount”) and all components thereof. The Closing Inventory Statement shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by an executive financial officer of Seller stating that the Closing Inventory Statement has been prepared in accordance with this Agreement. The “Closing Inventory Adjustment” shall mean an amount equal to (i) $1,041,321 minus (ii) the value of the Inventory set forth on the Closing Inventory Statement. The value of Inventory on the Closing Inventory Statement shall be determined in the same manner as the Inventory set forth on the June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 balance sheets of Seller’s Portamedic Business included within the Financial Statements. In no event shall the Closing Inventory Adjustment be a number less than $0. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Closing OCA Statement”) setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the “Other current assets” as of the Closing Date (the “Closing OCA Amount”) and all components thereof determined in the same manner as “Other current assets” have been calculated on the June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 balance sheets of Seller’s Portamedic Business included within the Financial Statements. The Closing OCA Statement shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by an executive financial officer of Seller stating that the Closing OCA Statement has been prepared in accordance with this Agreement. The “Closing OCA Adjustment” shall mean an amount equal to (i) $564,184 minus (ii) the “Other current assets” set forth on the Closing OCA Statement. In no event shall the Closing OCA Adjustment be a number less than $0.

2.4.4 At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, via wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Seller’s written instructions (to be provided at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), the Purchase Price, less an amount equal to the Holdback less the Closing Inventory Adjustment less the Closing OCA Adjustment (the amount of the Purchase Price, as so reduced, the “Closing Payment”).

2.4.5 Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Reviewed Inventory and OCA Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Closing Inventory Amount and the Closing OCA Amount. Seller shall have thirty (30) days following the receipt of the Reviewed Inventory and OCA Statement to deliver to Buyer a notice indicating that Seller disagrees with the Reviewed Inventory and OCA Statement detailing the nature of such disagreement (a “Dispute Notice”). Seller’s failure to deliver a Dispute Notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to constitute Seller’s acceptance of the Reviewed Inventory and OCA Statement, which shall be deemed final. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute within thirty (30) days after Buyer receives a Dispute Notice. If the Parties fail to resolve any dispute within such period of time, then either Buyer or Seller may elect, by written notice delivered to the other, to submit the dispute for final and binding resolution to a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm (which shall be KPMG so long as KPMG is then independent of Buyer, Seller and their respective Affiliates or such other mutually determined independent firm (such firm, the “Selected Accountant”)). The Selected Accountant shall be instructed to resolve all disputes as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days. The Parties shall cooperate with the Selected Accountant and provide to the Selected Accountant such information as the Selected Accountant may reasonably request, in each case in connection with the resolution by the Selected Accountant of the specific items subject to such dispute (and no other items). The determination of the Selected Accountant regarding any such dispute shall (A) be set forth in writing, (B) be within the range of dispute between Buyer and Seller with respect to the Closing Inventory Amount and within the range of dispute between Buyer and Seller with respect to the Closing OCA Amount, (C) constitute an arbitral award, and (D) be final and binding upon the Parties. The fees of the Selected Accountant shall be paid by Seller. In the event that the final Closing Inventory Amount determined in accordance with this Section 2.4.5 is less than the aggregate Inventory amount set forth in the Closing Inventory Statement, then Seller shall promptly (but no later than two (2) Business Days) pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds the amount of such difference (or Buyer may at its election deduct such amount from the Holdback). In the event that the final Closing OCA Amount determined in accordance with this Section 2.4.5 is less than the amount of “Other current assets” set forth in the Closing OCA Statement, then Seller shall promptly (but no later than two (2) Business Days) pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds the amount of such difference (or Buyer may at its election deduct such amount from the Holdback). The later of (i) the date on which the final Closing Inventory Amount is determined and paid in accordance with this Section 2.4.5 and (ii) the date on which the final Closing OCA Amount is determined and paid in accordance with this Section 2.4.5 shall be referred to herein as the “Closeout Date.”

2.5 Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller and Buyer agree to use their respective good faith efforts to agree on an allocation of the Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities, if applicable) among the Transferred Assets in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. If the Seller and Buyer fail to reach such agreement within such period of time, either Party shall have the right to engage the Selected Accountant to resolve the dispute. The Selected Accountant shall be directed to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days, and the determination of the Selected Accountant regarding any such dispute shall be final and binding. Seller and Buyer agree to file all income Tax forms and Returns (including IRS Form 8594 or any successor form) in accordance with any allocation mutually agreed by the Parties or determined by the Selected Accountant, as applicable, and agree not to take any position before any taxing authority that is inconsistent with such allocation, except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign laws). In the event any tax authority disputes the allocation, Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other Party of the nature of such dispute.

2.6 Assumption of Assumed Liabilities; Retained Liabilities.

2.6.1 At the Closing, Buyer shall assume only the following specific Liabilities (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(i)all Liabilities under the Business Contracts solely to the extent accruing after the Closing for services performed or rendered after the Closing; and

(ii)all Buyer Allocable Share Liabilities under the Designated Shared Contracts solely to the extent accruing after the Closing for services performed or rendered by Buyer after the Closing.

2.6.2 Buyer shall not assume or have any responsibility for any Liabilities or Losses other than the Assumed Liabilities.

2.7 Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but without limitation of the Seller’s obligations under Article 5 of this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Contract if an assignment or transfer or an attempt to make such an assignment or transfer of such Contract without the Consent of a third party would constitute a breach or violation thereof or affect adversely the rights of the Buyer thereunder. In the event any required Consent is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, without limitation of Buyer’s rights or remedies, Seller shall continue to use all reasonable best efforts (or best efforts, as applicable) consistent with its obligations under Article 5 to obtain such Consent after the Closing Date until such time as such Consent has been obtained. Until such time as such Consent has been obtained, the Parties shall enter into commercially reasonable cooperative arrangements to deliver to Buyer the full benefits under such Contract (and the assumption of any Assumed Liabilities relating thereto, if any). Nothing in this Section 2.7 shall be deemed a waiver by Buyer of its rights to receive an effective assignment of all of the Transferred Assets.


3.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

3.1 Organization, Standing and Authority. Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York. Seller is duly authorized, qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its activities makes such qualifications or licensing necessary under the applicable Laws, except for any such failures to be so qualified that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has all requisite power and authority to own, operate and lease its assets and carry out its business as presently conducted.

3.2 Authorization and Binding Obligation. Seller has all corporate power and authority to (i) execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, (ii) to consummate the Transactions and (iii) to carry out and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. The execution and delivery of, and performance of the obligations contained in, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. No other proceedings on the part of Seller or its shareholders are necessary to approve this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or to consummate the Transactions. No vote of any holder of any class or series of the Seller’s capital stock is necessary for the Seller to duly adopt this Agreement and consummate the Transactions. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller, and this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements each constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The Seller Board has (i) determined that the Transactions, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are fair to and in the best interests of the Seller and its shareholders, (ii) adopted and declared advisable this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and the Transactions, (iii) determined, upon the advice of counsel, that the sale of the Transferred Assets set forth herein does not constitute all or substantially all of Seller’s assets under applicable Law and this Agreement is not required under applicable Law or Seller’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws to be submitted to the holders of capital stock of the Seller for approval at a shareholders’ meeting called and held for such purpose, (iv) taken all actions to comply with § 912 of the New York Business Corporation Law; (v) irrevocably resolved to elect, to the extent permitted by Law, for the Seller not to be subject to any Takeover Statute; and (vi) received a written opinion of its financial advisor to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, the consideration to be received by the Seller in the Transactions is fair from a financial point of view to the Seller.

3.3 Absence of Conflicting Terms; Consents. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by Seller of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, nor the consummation of the Transactions (or the assignment, sale and transfer of the Transferred Assets from Seller to Buyer contemplated herein) will (whether with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both): (a) require any Consent from any Governmental Authority (other than filings/notices under Form 8-K under the Exchange Act and under the rules of NYSE); (b) conflict with any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; (c) except as set forth on Schedule 3.3(c), which shall be delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 5.6.9, require the Consent of any Person, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under (or permit termination or modification of or accelerate any rights or obligations under) any Business Contract; (d) except as set forth on Schedule 3.3(d), which shall be delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 5.6.9, require the Consent of any Person, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under (or permit termination or modification of or accelerate any rights or obligations under) under any other material Contract of Seller or its Subsidiaries, (e) violate any Law applicable to the Portamedic Business, the Transferred Assets, or Seller in connection therewith; or (f) result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any Transferred Assets or otherwise require Buyer to pay any Tax.

3.4 Seller Reports; Financial Statements.

3.4.1 Seller has filed with or furnished to (as applicable) the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on a timely basis all forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents required to be filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Seller under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended since January 1, 2009 (collectively, such forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents, including all exhibits, appendices and attached included or incorporated therein, filed or furnished since such date, being referred to herein as the “Seller Reports”). Each of the Seller Reports, at the time of its filing or being furnished (or, if amended prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment), complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to the Seller Reports. As of their respective dates (or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment), the Seller Reports did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The Seller is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of NYSE. Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the Seller Reports (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presents in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Seller and its consolidated subsidiaries as of its date and each of the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the Seller Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents in all material respects the consolidated results of operations, retained earnings and changes in financial position, as the case may be, of the Seller and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to notes and year-end adjustments), and in each case have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as may be noted otherwise therein. The following are all of the Seller’s Subsidiaries: Heritage Labs International, LLC, Xxxxxx Distribution Services, LLC; Xxxxxx Information Services, Inc., Mid-America Agency Services, Incorporated, TEG Enterprises, Inc. All of these Subsidiaries are consolidated for accounting purposes, and none of these subsidiaries engage in or in the past five years have ever engaged in (or otherwise hold any Transferred Assets or in the past five years have held any assets or properties used in the Portamedic Business). Neither Seller nor any such Subsidiary has any equity interest (or right convertible or exchangeable into any equity interest) in any other Person.

3.4.2 Attached as Schedule 3.4.2 hereto are complete and correct copies of the following (collectively, the “Financial Statements”): the unaudited balance sheet (the “Most Recent Balance Sheet”) for the Portamedic Business as of June 30, 2013 (the “Most Recent Balance Sheet Date”) and March 31, 2013 and unaudited statements of the operating income for the Portamedic Business for each of the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 and for the years ended 2012 and 2013. The Financial Statements are true and correct in all material respects. The Financial Statements were derived from the books and records of Seller (which are true, complete and accurate), and fairly present the financial position and results of operations of the Portamedic Business as of the dates thereof and for the periods indicated therein. No business or operations are reflected in the Financial Statements other than the Seller’s Portamedic Business.

3.4.3 Seller has implemented and maintained, since December 31, 2010, a system of internal accounting controls and financial reporting (as required by Rule 13a-15(a) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Seller maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures (i) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Seller is recorded and reported on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of the Seller’s filings with the SEC and other public disclosure documents, and (ii) have been evaluated for effectiveness in accordance with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and the results of such evaluations have been disclosed in the Seller Reports to the extent required by the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. There are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of Seller’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that would reasonably be likely to adversely affect the Seller’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information. Seller has changed its internal controls to correct such deficiencies and material weaknesses, and other than such corrections, since the date of such evaluation, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect Seller’s internal controls. Seller has no Knowledge of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Seller’s internal controls over financial reporting.

3.5 Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither Seller nor its Affiliates has any material Liability in respect of the Portamedic Business or the Transferred Assets, except for Liabilities which are reflected or reserved for on the face of the Most Recent Balance Sheet and any other Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course since the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date, which such Liabilities, for purposes of clarity, are “Retained Liabilities” for all purposes of this Agreement.

3.6 Title to Assets; Etc.

3.6.1 Seller has good, valid and marketable title to the Transferred Assets, in each case free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and, at the Closing, Buyer shall own, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances (other than liens arising solely by action of the Buyer), all right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets. Upon consummation of the Transactions, Buyer shall own good, valid and marketable title to the Transferred Assets.

3.6.2 Schedule 3.6.2 sets forth each item of Tangible Personal Property as of the date hereof. The Updated Schedule of Tangible Personal Property, which Seller is required to deliver pursuant to Section 5.6.3, sets forth, as of each of the dates delivered, (i) the location of each such item of Tangible Personal Property whose book value is $10 or more (provided, that the aggregate book value of all such items that each have a book value of less than $10 shall not exceed $5,000 in respect of the business/operations at any one of the Assumed Leased Real Properties); and, (ii) with respect to each “netbook” or similar device, the name and territory of the member of the Portamedic Staff in possession thereof. Each item of Tangible Personal Property is, in all material respects, in good repair and good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, is suitable for immediate use in the ordinary course of business, is free from latent and patent defects and its use complies in all material respects with all applicable Laws. No item of Tangible Personal Property is in need of repair or replacement other than as part of routine maintenance in the ordinary course of business. All Tangible Personal Property used in the Portamedic Business is in the possession of Seller (and as of the Closing will be in the possession and control of Buyer) and located at (a) the Assumed Leased Real Property (other than the “netbooks” assigned to Portamedic Staff, as set forth on the Updated Schedule of Tangible Personal Property) or (b) Basking Ridge Facility as of the date hereof and at the Assumed Leased Real Properties as of the Closing.

3.6.3 The Transferred Assets (i) constitute all of the assets, tangible and intangible, of any nature whatsoever, reasonably necessary to operate the Portamedic Business in the manner operated by Seller as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) include all of the assets and properties of Seller and its Affiliates used, held for use or otherwise relating to the Portamedic Business (other than the Excluded Assets). None of Seller’s Subsidiaries is engaged in or owns or controls (or has at any time owned or controlled) any assets or properties, whether tangible or intangible, used or held for use in the Portamedic Business. No representation is made by Seller as to the adequacy of Buyer’s working capital necessary for the operation of the Portamedic Business or Transferred Assets by Buyer after the Closing Date. No Person holds any power of attorney over any of the Transferred Assets, and no Person has provided any guarantee with respect to any of the Transferred Assets.

3.7 Leased Real Property.

3.7.1 Schedule 3.7.1(a) lists all Assumed Leased Real Property and the Leases by which Seller occupies such Assumed Leased Real Property. Schedule 3.7.1(b) delivered pursuant to Section 5.6.4, lists all Leased Real Property (other than the Assumed Leased Real Property) and the Leases by which Seller occupies such Leased Real Property. Schedule 3.7.1(c) sets forth, with respect to each Assumed Leased Real Property, the lease term, rent payment and other lease terms as set forth on such Schedule (the “Lease Chart”). The Assumed Leased Real Property includes each Leased Real Property where two or more full time Business Employees conduct the Seller’s Portamedic Business. Other than Seller’s Basking Ridge, New Jersey property, Seller’s Portamedic Business is conducted from no facilities or premises other than the Leased Real Properties.

3.7.2 Seller has a valid leasehold estate in each Assumed Leased Real Property, free and clear of all Encumbrances. Seller is not in breach of any Assumed Lease and there is no event, that, with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, will result in Seller (or Buyer at or after the Closing) being in breach thereof. To Seller’s Knowledge, no other Person party to any Assumed Lease is in breach or violation thereof or, with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, will be in breach thereunder. Seller has not received written notice of any default by Seller (or any condition or event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under any Assumed Lease. Each Assumed Lease is a legal, valid and binding agreement and obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, of Seller and, to Seller’s Knowledge, of each other Person party thereto. The Persons party to each Assumed Lease are the Seller and the landlord thereto, and there is no guarantor of Seller’s obligations under any of the Assumed Leases. Seller has paid all rent and other sums and charges due and payable by Seller under each of the Assumed Leases. Seller enjoys (and as of the Closing, Buyer will enjoy) peaceful and undisturbed possession of the Assumed Leased Real Property. No Person other than Seller has (and, as of the Closing, no Person other than Buyer shall have) any right to occupy or use any Assumed Leased Real Property. Seller does not owe (and Buyer as of the Closing will not owe) any brokerage commissions with respect to any Assumed Leased Real Property. Seller has delivered to Buyer true, correct and complete copies of the Assumed Leases in accordance with Section 5.6.10, including all material contracts to which Seller is a party with respect to construction on or improvement of any Assumed Leased Real Property and all plans and specifications relating to such construction or improvement. The Lease Chart sets forth an accurate, complete and correct description of the material terms in the Assumed Leases.

3.7.3 There does not exist any actual or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, planned public improvements, annexation, special assessments, zoning or subdivision changes, or other adverse claims affecting any Assumed Leased Real Property or any part thereof, nor has Seller received any notice of the same. All Consents and Licenses that are required for the occupancy and use of the Assumed Leased Real Property by Seller (and by Buyer as of the Closing) have been obtained and are in full force and effect, and Seller is not in any default or violation thereunder. All buildings, structures, facilities, fixtures and other improvements located on the Assumed Leased Real Property are in compliance with all applicable laws (including those pertaining to zoning, building and the disabled) and are in good repair and good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and are free from latent and patent defects.

3.9 Inventory. Schedule 3.9(a) attached hereto lists each item of inventory, its value (consistent with the fourth sentence below) and location as of June 30, 2013 (the “Inventory Schedule”). All items included in the Inventories consist of a quality and quantity usable in the ordinary course of business. Seller is not in possession of any inventory not owned by Seller, including goods already sold. All of the Inventories have been valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first in, first out basis. Inventories on hand that were purchased after the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date were purchased in the ordinary course of business in quantities consistent with past practice and at a cost not exceeding market prices prevailing at the time of purchase. The quantities of each item of Inventories are not excessive but are reasonable in the circumstances of Seller. Work-in-process Inventories are valued according to GAAP. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.9(b), all Inventories are in the possession of Seller (and as of the Closing will be in the possession of Buyer) and, in each case, located at the Assumed Leased Real Properties.

Schedule 3.10.1(b), which Seller shall deliver in accordance with Section 5.6.2, includes a list of all the Later Delivered Contracts organized in a manner corresponding to the sub-clauses in the definition of “Material Business Contracts.” Seller has delivered to Buyer true, complete and correct copies of all the Material Business Contracts.

3.10.2 Each Business Contract included within the Transferred Assets (except Contracts that naturally expire by their own respective terms) is in full force and effect and constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Seller in accordance with the respective terms thereof, and represents a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each of the other Persons parties thereto (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles, including those limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable remedies and those providing equitable defenses). No Business Contract included within the Transferred Assets is a Shared Contract. There exists no material breach or material default (or event that with or without notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a material breach or material default) on the part of Seller or, to Seller’s Knowledge, on the part of any other Person party thereto, under any Business Contract included within the Transferred Assets, and as of the Closing Buyer will not be in material breach or material default under any such Business Contract. No event has occurred that with or without notice or lapse of time would permit termination, modification, or acceleration, under any Business Contract included within the Transferred Assets, and neither Seller nor, to Seller’s Knowledge, any other Person party thereto has repudiated any material provision of such Business Contract.

5.3.4 Neither the Seller Board nor any committee thereof shall (a) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, to shareholders of Seller any Acquisition Proposal, (b) approve, authorize or permit or allow Seller to enter into any letter of intent, asset purchase agreement, merger or acquisition agreement, share purchase agreement, share exchange agreement, option agreement or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (other than an acceptable confidentiality agreement permitted under Section 5.3.3), (c) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding in principle requiring the Seller to abandon, terminate, or fail to consummate the Transactions or breach any of its obligations under this Agreement or (d) resolve, propose (whether or not to a third party) or agree to take any of the foregoing actions set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) (each of the items described in clauses (a) through (d) inclusive being referred to herein as a “Seller Adverse Recommendation Change”); provided, however, if the Seller Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, that a written Acquisition Proposal received by Seller in compliance with Section 5.3.3 (which has not been withdrawn) constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Seller Board may, only after termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1.4(ii) and payment of all amounts due pursuant to Section 8.3.1(ii), approve and enter into an agreement relating to a Superior Proposal, subject to the satisfaction of the following further conditions precedent: (w) Seller shall have provided prior written notice to Buyer, at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the Seller Board’s final determination whether to take such actions, which notice shall specify the reasons therefor and the material terms of the Acquisition Proposal received by Seller that constitutes a Superior Proposal, including a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements and other material documents with, and the identity of, the Person(s) making the Acquisition Proposal; (x) after providing such notice and prior to taking such actions, Seller shall, and shall cause its Seller Representatives to, negotiate with Buyer in good faith (unless Buyer states in writing that it does not desire to negotiate) during such five (5) Business Day period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement that Buyer may desire to make, if any, so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; (y) Buyer and its financial and legal advisors shall be permitted to make a presentation to the Seller Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments thereto (to the extent Buyer desires to make such a presentation); and (z) the Seller Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement that may be offered in writing by Buyer by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the fifth Business Day of such five (5) Business Day period in a manner that could form a binding contract (including the complete form of definitive acquisition agreement executed by Buyer) and shall have determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and independent financial advisors that the Acquisition Proposal received by Seller has not been withdrawn and continues to constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes offered in writing by Buyer were given effect. In the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal (it being agreed that material revisions shall include any change in the purchase price, form of consideration, transaction timing, transaction financing or transaction structure for such Superior Proposal), Seller shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Buyer pursuant to the foregoing clause (w) and to comply again with the requirements of this Section 5.2.4 with respect to such new written notice.

5.3.5 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Seller Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Seller’s shareholders a position with respect to a tender or exchange offer by a Third Party pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or (ii) disclosing the fact that the Seller Board has received an Acquisition Proposal if the Seller Board determines after consultation with its outside legal counsel that failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (provided, however, that any such disclosures set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 5.3.5 (other than a factually accurate “stop, look and listen” communication contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to constitute a “Seller Adverse Recommendation Change” for purposes of this Agreement (including for purposes of Section 8.1.3(ii)) unless the Seller Board expressly publicly reaffirms its Seller Board Recommendation within three (3) Business Days after a written request by Buyer to do so (provided, that if such written notice is delivered to the Seller less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Seller Shareholders Meeting, the Seller Board shall so re-affirm its Seller Board Recommendation at least one Business Day prior to the Seller Shareholders Meeting. In no event shall the Seller Board recommend that Seller’s shareholders tender their shares in connection with any tender or exchange offer (or otherwise approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal), which, for purposes of clarity, shall be deemed to be a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change for all purposes under this Agreement.

5.3.6 As used in this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any proposal or offer from any Person or group (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) (other than Buyer) relating to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, and whether or not pursuant to a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, any (i) acquisition of any assets or properties used or held for use in the Portamedic Business (including, without limitation, the Transferred Assets), (ii) acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller; (iii) acquisition of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of capital stock or other equity securities of Seller, (iv) tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any Person or group beneficially owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of capital stock or other equity securities of Seller or (v) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Seller or any of its Subsidiaries.

5.3.7 As used in this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that (x) is on terms that the Seller Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and independent financial advisors) are more beneficial and favorable to Seller’s shareholders from the financial point of view, taking into account all of the legal, financial (including the financing terms of such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal (including the likelihood and timing of consummation thereof) and this Agreement (including any changes in the terms of this Agreement committed to by Buyer to Seller in writing in response to such Acquisition Proposal or otherwise), and (y) the Seller Board has determined in its good faith judgment (after consultation with outside legal counsel and independent financial advisor and after taking into account all legal, financial (including the financing terms of such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of the proposal) is reasonably likely to be consummated (if accepted by Seller), except that (i) the references to “twenty-five percent (25%)” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%)” and (ii) a “Superior Proposal” shall not include any acquisition consisting (whether in one step or a series of related steps) primarily of the assets or properties used or held for use in the Portamedic Business; it being the Parties’ intent that a Superior Proposal shall be limited to an Acquisition Proposal the ultimate purpose and intent of which is to purchase and sell all or substantially all of the assets of Seller (whether through the acquisition of equity, assets or otherwise).

5.3.8 If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Transactions, the Seller and the Seller Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

5.4 Governmental Authority Review.

5.4.1 In the event that any Governmental Authority indicates orally or in writing to Buyer or Seller that it has initiated, is considering to initiate, or plans to initiate (or has resumed, recommenced, or reopened or is considering or planning to resume, recommence or reopen) (or, in each case, words of similar import) any Proceeding, whether preliminary, initial phase or otherwise (an “Inquiry”), the Party receiving the Inquiry shall immediately (but no later than within one Business Day) notify in writing (and concurrent with such written notification deliver a copy of such Inquiry to) the other Party; provided, however, that in the event of oral Inquiries, such oral Inquiry shall be confirmed in writing by either Party promptly, but in no event less than three Business Days after receipt of such oral Inquiry (or notification from the other Party) to the applicable inquiring Governmental Authority, with a copy of such confirmation to be provided concurrently to the other Party. In the event any Party receives an Inquiry, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.3(iii); provided, that Buyer may not exercise this termination right until 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the eighth (8th) Business Day after the date on which both Buyer and Seller have received a copy of the Inquiry (such period of time being the “Seller’s Decision Period”); provided, further, that Buyer may not exercise such right if, prior to the last day of Seller’s Decision Period, the Governmental Authority indicates orally or in writing that it has withdrawn or terminated, or will not pursue (or words of similar import) such Inquiry; provided, further, that in the event of oral indications, such oral indication shall be confirmed in writing by the Party(ies) receiving such oral indication within two Business Days after receipt thereof to the applicable inquiring Governmental Authority, with a copy of such confirmation to be provided concurrently to the other Party. Seller may at any time during the Seller’s Decision Period send to Buyer a written notice (an “Election Notice”) agreeing to assume all Liabilities and Losses relating to the defense and resolution of the Inquiry by each of the Parties (subject to Section 5.4.3). If Seller fails to deliver to Buyer such an Election Notice within the Seller’s Decision Period, Seller shall be deemed to have waived its rights hereunder, and Buyer may at any time thereafter terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.3(iii), provided, that Buyer may not exercise such right if, prior thereto, the Governmental Authority indicates orally or in writing that it has withdrawn or terminated or will not pursue (or words of similar import) such Inquiry; provided, further, that in the event of oral indications, such oral indication shall be confirmed in writing by the Party(ies) receiving such oral indication within two Business Days after receipt thereof to the applicable inquiring Governmental Authority, with a copy of such confirmation to be provided concurrently to the other Party.

5.4.2 During the Seller’s Decision Period, the Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to the Inquiry

5.4.4 All filings, applications, notices, analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, submissions, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party before any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions shall require the joint approval and be under the joint control of Buyer and Seller, acting with the advice of their respective counsel, it being the intent that the Parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such filing, application, notice, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, submission, brief, argument, opinion and proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent a Party from responding to or complying with a subpoena or other legal process required by applicable Law or submitting factual information in response to a request therefore, copies or, as applicable, a summary of which shall be provided to the other Party except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law. In addition, except as prohibited by applicable Law, each Party shall (i) promptly notify the other Party of any written communication to that Party from any Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions; and (ii) not participate in any meetings or substantive discussions with any Governmental Authority with respect thereto without consulting with or offering the other Party a meaningful opportunity to participate in such meetings or discussions.

5.5 Cooperation. Subject to Section 5.4, the Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts (provided, that, with respect to the Consents listed on Schedule 7.2.4, Seller shall use its best efforts) to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable, including preparing and filing as promptly as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports, and other filings and to obtain as promptly as practicable all other Consents necessary or advisable to be obtained from any Person or Governmental Authority in order to consummate the Transactions and transfer to Buyer the Transferred Assets;.. Each Party shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the content and status of any material communications with, and material communications from any Person or Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions. Nothing in this Agreement shall require either Seller or Buyer to make any expenditure or payment of funds (other than in respect of administrative, processing, legal and other normal fees imposed by any Person in connection with separating the Shared Contracts and/or obtaining Consents under the Business Contracts, all of which Seller shall be responsible for and pay). Without limitation of Seller’s obligations anywhere else in this Agreement, Buyer shall cooperate to provide non-confidential, pre-existing information reasonably requested by counterparties to Business Contracts and reasonably agree to any reasonable terms or reasonable conditions required by the counterparties to Business Contracts as a requirement of the consent to the transfer thereof to Buyer; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require Buyer to (i) make any expenditure or payment of funds or (ii) agree to any terms or conditions to which Buyer and its Affiliates do not normally, in the ordinary course of their business, agree. The Parties shall coordinate efforts and reasonably cooperate with one another to communicate with Persons from whom Consents may be sought in connection with the Transactions and with Portamedic Staff.

5.6 Certain Agreements; Post-Signing Deliveries.

5.6.1 promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall use its best reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with Buyer in seeking amendments to (i) the Contracts listed on Schedule 5.6 and (ii) any Designated Later Delivered Contract In the event such amendments are not obtained to Buyer’s sole satisfaction prior to the Closing, such Contracts shall be designated as “Excluded Contracts” hereunder.

5.6.2 Within 7 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Buyer Schedule 3.10.1(b) identifying each Later Delivered Contract and specifying the nature of such Later Delivered Contract).

Seller shall use all reasonable best efforts to separate and cause to be separated the Designated Shared Contracts and, if necessary, obtain any applicable third party Consent required thereunder (or, if any such Shared Contract relates to a Consent listed on Schedule 7.2.4, Seller shall use its best efforts to separate and cause to be separated such Shared Contract and, if necessary, obtain any applicable third party Consent required thereunder). If, despite such efforts, the Designated Shared Contracts are not separated by the Closing Date, the rights and obligations under the Designated Shared Contracts shall be equitably allocated among (i) the Portamedic Business, on the one hand, and (ii) the Other Businesses and any other businesses in which Seller and/or its Affiliates engage after the Closing (subject to Section 5.16), on the other hand, in accordance with the following principles: (a) any allocation set forth on the face of a Designated Shared Contract shall control; (b) if there is no allocation set forth on the face of the Designated Shared Contract, then the Parties shall mutually determine the applicable allocation in good faith taking into consideration any quantifiable proportionate benefits to be received by Buyer and Seller thereunder; and (c) any volume discounts, rebates and other aggregated or bundled benefits shall be allocated proportionately based on revenue. Buyer’s share of such equitable allocations shall be referred to as “Buyer Allocable Share Liabilities” and “Buyer Allocable Share Rights,” as applicable.

Any examination or request for information shall be conducted in such a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of Seller or its Subsidiaries. Until the Closing, all such information shall be governed by the terms of that certain Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of March 27, 2013, by and between Buyer and Seller (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

5.13 Confidentiality. The Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate and, effective as of the Closing, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby waives, relinquishes and terminates any and all rights it may have under the Confidentiality Agreement.

If Seller is ever required by Law to disclose the information subject to this Section 5.13, Seller shall notify Buyer promptly of the requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with this Section 5.13.

Upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide Buyer with all information, original files, books and records pertaining thereto and take and cause its Subsidiaries to take any and all actions, and execute, acknowledge and deliver to Buyer all instruments of conveyance and transfer reasonably requested by Buyer to transfer to Buyer all right, title and interest therein, free and clear of all Encumbrances. Further, in such instruments of conveyance and transfer, Seller shall be deemed to make, mutatis mutandis, as of the date of transfer, all representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 applicable to such property, asset or right. Subject to Seller’s obligations in Section 5.13, after the Closing, Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller to provide Seller with such reasonable access to such Transferred Assets and Buyer’s employees as may be reasonably necessary in connection with defending and settling proceedings and similar matters (other than (x) proceedings and similar matters with respect to which Seller may be required to provide indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise to Buyer and (y) any information that may be covered by attorney client privilege).

Without limitation of Seller’s obligations in Section 5.7 (relating to hyperlinks), as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event no later than 30 days thereafter, Seller shall and shall cause its Affiliates to remove from all websites, materials, corporate names and elsewhere the “Portamedic” and other trademarks and names included within the Transferred Assets and to terminate, cease and desist all use of such trademarks and names, whether under a “d/b/a”, in metadata, in invoices or otherwise.

9.	INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer set forth in Articles 3 and 4, respectively, other than the Fundamental Representations, shall survive the Closing until the date that is twenty four (24) months after the Closing Date. The Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing indefinitely. The covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and shall survive until the full performance by the applicable Party of such covenant and agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim shall have been made in accordance with this Agreement prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, then, in each such case, such survival period shall be extended as it relates to such claim until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

9.2 Indemnification by Seller. After the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives harmless against and with respect to, and shall reimburse such Persons for any and all Losses arising from or relating to:

9.2.1 any untruth, inaccuracy or breach by Seller of any representation or warranty set forth in Article 3;

9.2.2 any breach by Seller of any covenants, obligations or agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

9.2.3 any of the Retained Liabilities; and

9.2.4 Seller’s failure to comply with any bulk sales laws in respect of the Transactions or any action brought thereunder.

9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. After the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives harmless against and with respect to, and shall reimburse such Persons for any and all Losses arising from or relating to:

9.3.1 any untruth, inaccuracy or breach by Buyer of any representation or warranty set forth in Article 4;

9.3.2 any breach by Buyer of any covenants, obligations or agreements of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; and

9.3.3 any of the Assumed Liabilities.

9.4 Procedure for Indemnification. The procedure for indemnification shall be as follows:

9.4.1 Any Person claiming indemnification (the “Claimant”) shall give notice to the Party from whom indemnification is claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim to which the Claimant is entitled indemnification under this Agreement promptly upon learning of such claim; provided, however, that the failure of the Claimant to give timely notice hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 9 unless, and only to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party has been actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

9.4.2 With respect to any claim by a third party as to which the Claimant is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume control of the defense of such claim with one or more counsel reasonably acceptable to the Claimant, and the Claimant shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party (at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense) so long as the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume such control and fully indemnifying Claimant hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim within 20 days after receiving notice of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Claimant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense of such claim at its own expense. If (i) the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim within such 20 day period, or fails to timely and diligently prosecute such defense, or (ii) Claimant, based upon the advice of counsel, concludes that defense of such claim by the Indemnifying Party shall give rise to a conflict of interest (or the Claimant and Indemnifying Party have one or more materially different defenses available to them), then the Claimant may defend through counsel of its own choosing (at the Indemnifying Party expense), subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to reasonably participate in the defense thereof (at its own expense), provided, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Claimants in connection with any one matter. No Party shall compromise or settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that if such compromise or settlement consists solely of monetary damages and provides for the full and unconditional general release of the Claimant from all Liability in connection with such claim, then the Indemnifying Party may settle such claim without the Claimant’s consent as long as the Indemnifying Party pays the entire recoverable amount of such claim and the settlement of such claim does not contain an admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Claimant.

9.4.3 As security for Seller's obligations and other agreements contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including but not limited to Seller’s indemnification obligations under the provisions of Article 9 hereof, and to make certain payments to Buyer under the provisions of Section 2.4.5 hereof, but without limitation of Seller's liability under this Agreement (or Buyer's other rights and remedies), Buyer is retaining the Holdback. From time to time, on not less than ten (10) days notice to Seller, Buyer may apply all or any part of the Holdback to pay or to provide for the payment of any Liability of any Seller under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. On the first anniversary of the Closeout Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller, in cash without interest, the Holdback, less the amount of (i) any deductions therefrom under this Section 9.4.3 and (ii) any amounts then under dispute, which such disputed amounts shall be released upon final settlement of all disputed claims. Nothing in this Section 9.4.3 shall be construed as limiting the liability of Seller under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (or otherwise limiting the rights or remedies of Buyer) to the amount of the Holdback.

9.4.4 A Claimant wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article 9 which is not subject to Section 9.4.2 shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) which contains (i) a description and, if then known or estimated, the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Losses incurred by the Claimant or, if then known, the method of computation of the amount of such claim of any Losses, (ii) a statement that the Claimant is entitled to indemnification under this Article IX and an explanation of the then-known basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Losses (including wire instructions if payment is requested to be made by wire transfer) or, with respect to the Buyer, if applicable, a statement that it intends in lieu thereof, to apply all or any part of the Holdback pursuant to Section 9.4.3 (which such statement shall be deemed to satisfy the 10 day notice required under Section 9.4.3). Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Claimant a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (A) agree that the Claimant is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Claimant of the Claimed Amount, by wire transfer or, with respect to Buyer, if applicable, an acknowledgment that Buyer will apply all or part of the Holdback Amount in accordance with Section 9.4.3); (B) agree that the Claimant is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Claimant of the Agreed Amount, by wire transfer or with respect to the Buyer, if applicable, an acknowledgment that Buyer will apply all or part of the Holdback Amount in accordance with Section 9.4.3); or (C) contest that the Claimant is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount (or any part of the Claimed Amount other than the Agreed Amount) including the reasonably detailed reasons therefor. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3.

9.5 Limitation on Indemnification.

9.5.1 No Indemnifying Party shall have an obligation to indemnify the Claimant under Section 9.2.1 or Section 9.3.1, and no Claimant shall make any claim under Section 9.2.1 or Section 9.3.1, unless and until the aggregate amount of such Claimant’s Losses exceeds an amount equal to $100,000 (the “Deductible”), and then the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for Losses exceeding the Deductible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, this Section 9.5.1 shall not apply in respect of (i) an inaccuracy in, or breach of, any Fundamental Representation, (ii) any claim for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, or (iii) any claim under Sections 9.2.2, 9.2.3, 9.2.4, 9.3.2, or 9.3.3, all of which such claims set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) shall be indemnifiable from “dollar one” without regard to any Deductible.

9.5.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) the aggregate maximum liability of any Party to another Party under Section 9.2.1 or Section 9.3.1 (in each case, other than in respect of an inaccuracy in, or breach of, a Fundamental Representation or a claim for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct) shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price, as adjusted, and (b) the aggregate maximum liability of any Party to another Party under Section 9.2.1 or Section 9.3.1 in respect of an inaccuracy in, or breach of, a Fundamental Representation (other than in respect of a claim for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct), shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price. For clarity, claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation and willful misconduct shall not be limited in any way.

9.5.3 For the avoidance of doubt, any liability of Seller to Buyer pursuant to Sections 9.2.2, 9.2.3, 9.2.4, and any liability of Buyer to Seller under Sections 9.3.2, or 9.3.3 shall not be subject to any limitations, nor shall such liabilities be included in the calculation of the aggregate liabilities subject to the limitations forth in clause (a) and clause (b) of Section 9.5.2.

9.5.4 Solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of any Losses arising out of or resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (and not for determining the existence of any breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement), any reference to a “Material Adverse Effect” or “materiality” or other correlative terms in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded.

9.5.5 The amount of any Losses attributable to any claim by a third party as to which any Claimant is entitled to indemnification under this Article 9 shall be reduced by the amount, if any, actually received by the Claimant claiming indemnification in respect of such third-party claim from any Person (including any third-party insurance provider) less any out-of-pocket cost associated with receiving such amount (such amount being referred to herein as an “Alternative Reimbursement”), with respect to the Losses suffered thereby. If, after receipt by such Claimant of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of such third-party claim, such Claimant receives an Alternative Reimbursement in respect of the same Losses for which indemnification was made and such Alternative Reimbursement was not taken into account in assessing the amount of indemnifiable Losses, then such Claimant shall accept such Alternative Reimbursement for the account of the Indemnifying Party and shall turn over all of such Alternative Reimbursement to the Indemnifying Party up to the amount of the indemnification paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the applicable claim for indemnification. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other to maximize the availability of any Alternative Reimbursements for indemnifiable claims hereunder arising from third-party claims, and, if any insurance provider for a Party agrees to defend any such third-party claim, such Person may tender the defense to such third-party insurance provider.

9.5.6 After the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Party for any claim (whether such claim is framed in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller or Buyer set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be a claim for indemnification under and pursuant to this Article 9, except for the remedies of specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief; provided, however, that nothing in this Article 9 shall be deemed to limit a Party’s remedies for claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct.

9.5.7 Seller’s Representations Not Modified by Knowledge. Buyer’s rights to indemnification, payment of damages and other remedies based on Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by Buyer at any time, whether before or after the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The waiver by Buyer of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement (or the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement), will not waive, foreclose or otherwise affect Buyer’s right to indemnification, payment of damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.
