The Buyer hereby agrees, as of the Closing, to assume the Assumed Liabilities and to release the Seller from any and all further liability or obligation with respect to the Assumed Liabilities (except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or in the Ancillary Agreements).

2.3 Liabilities Not Assumed. The Buyer shall not assume any liabilities or obligations of the Seller that are not Assumed Liabilities, including any liability or obligation to the extent arising or resulting from:

(b) The aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to the Per Account Value multiplied by the number of Eligible Membership Contracts as of the Closing, plus $1,250,000, and such Purchase Price shall be payable as set forth below in Section 2.4(c).

(c) At the Closing, the Buyer shall deliver to and pay to the Seller the Estimated Purchase Price, less the Holdback Amount, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Seller on Schedule C attached hereto (the “Seller Account”).

2.5 Post-Closing Statement.

(a) No later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the date hereof, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a post-closing statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) in the form attached hereto as Schedule F, which shall set forth the actual number of Eligible Membership Contracts as of the date hereof and a calculation of the actual Purchase Price as of the date hereof, and which shall be prepared by the Buyer in good faith and in a manner otherwise consistent with the provisions of this Agreement (including by calculating the number of Eligible Membership Contracts as of the date hereof in the manner and in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule B), and shall be accompanied by such other information and methods of calculation as may be reasonably necessary for the Seller to evaluate the accuracy thereof. The Seller shall cooperate in good faith with the Buyer in the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement.

(c) If the parties are not able to resolve any Disagreement within ten (10) calendar days after the delivery by the Seller of the Notice of Disagreement, such Disagreement shall be referred to a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm of outstanding reputation as is mutually agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller (the “Accountant”) for a resolution by it in accordance with this Agreement (which agreement as to the Accountant shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by the Buyer or the Seller).

The Accountant shall render its determination and report to the Seller and the Buyer in writing specifying the reasons for its determination in reasonable detail as soon as practicable, but not later than thirty (30) calendar days after referral of the Disagreement to the Accountant.

anything herein to the contrary, if the Estimated Purchase Price is less than the Purchase Price in the Final Post-Closing Statement, the Buyer shall pay, within five (5) Business Days after the Final Settlement Date, the deficiency to the Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Account.

(iii) If the Total Attrition Value is equal to or greater than $750,000, the Attrition Payment shall be equal to $750,000, and the Buyer shall retain the entire Holdback Amount.

(g) No claim for indemnification shall be enforced against an indemnifying party to the extent any insurance proceeds (or any other indemnification proceeds) actually are received by the indemnified party with respect to any Loss otherwise payable by the indemnifying party, and any indemnification payment in

(a) The obligations and liabilities of any Person required to provide indemnification under this Article VII (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article VII (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.4. If any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) (an “Indemnified Party”) shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim within ten (10) days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its respective obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The notice of claim shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such indemnification claim, and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount arising therefrom.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of a Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each jurisdiction for which counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by any party conducting the defense against such claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
