(c) On the Closing Date and thereafter, upon receipt of Certificates for cancellation, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss of, and title to, the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) and other requested documents and in accordance with the instructions thereon, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor that portion of the Closing Payment into which the Shares theretofore represented by the Certificates so surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.4.
(d) If any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof in a form reasonably acceptable to the Paying Agent, the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration.

In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon a claim by a third Person against the Indemnified Person (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Person shall provide its Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Person’s receipt of the Third Party Claim, and shall enclose a copy of all papers (if any) served with respect to the Third Party Claim; provided, no delay in providing such notice shall affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Person to provide indemnification hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person is materially prejudiced thereby.
(c) In the case of a claim for indemnification based upon a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall promptly notify the Indemnified Person whether it will assume the defense of such Third Party Claim under this ARTICLE VII.
(d) If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, it shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense, the Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Person shall have full control of such defense and proceedings. The Indemnified Person may at its own expense participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Section 7.3(d); provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Person, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Person, or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Person determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person 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 Indemnifying Person. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Damages from Third Party Claims and will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The Parties will also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. An Indemnifying Person shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment, compromise or settlement provides for any relief other than monetary relief that will be fully paid by the Indemnifying Person.
(e) If the Indemnifying Person notifies the Indemnified Person that it will not, or otherwise does not promptly, assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Person shall have the right to defend against the Third Party Claim (at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person, if the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder), with counsel of the Indemnified Person’s choosing. Whether or not the Indemnifying Person has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Person for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Person’s prior written consent.
(f) In the case of a claim for indemnification not based upon a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to (i) pay such Damages, or (ii) dispute the claim for such Damages.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.4(a), a Party’s rights to indemnification shall not terminate with respect to any claim, whether or not fixed as to liability or liquidated in amount, with respect to which the Indemnified Person has in good faith delivered written notice to the Indemnifying Person, prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, setting forth the basis for indemnification and the facts upon which the claim for indemnification is based and, if known to the Indemnitee, a reasonable estimate of the Damages relating thereto, without requiring such Party to commence litigation or any other proceeding.
(c) The Company Escrow Parties shall not have any Liability for any indemnification under Section 7.1 unless and until the aggregate Damages for which Claim Notices are delivered by Purchaser in accordance herewith exceed $189,250, in which case the Company Escrow Parties shall have Liability for all Damages for which Claim Notices are delivered by Purchaser in accordance herewith from the first dollar. The foregoing limitations shall not apply in the case of intentional fraud.
(d) Except with respect to claims relating to a breach of the Fundamental Representations, or in the event of intentional fraud, for which the aggregate Damages payable by the Company Escrow Parties will be limited to the amount of the Merger Consideration (less any amount previously paid or to be paid by the Company Escrow Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE VII) and which may be drawn from the Indemnity Escrow Amount or recovered directly from the Company Escrow Parties at Parent’s election, (i) the aggregate Damages payable by the Company Escrow Parties pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be drawn from the Indemnity Escrow Amount, and (ii) the amount of such Damages for which the Company Stockholders are liable under Section 7.1 shall at no time exceed an amount equal to the Escrow Amount at such time.
(e) The aggregate Damages payable by Parent pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited to the amount of the Merger Consideration (less any amount previously payable by Parent).
7.5 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provided for in this ARTICLE VII is the sole and exclusive right and remedy available to the Parties with respect to any claim or cause of action based upon, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether such claim or cause of action arises out of any contract, tort or other common law theory or otherwise; provided, however, that nothing herein will limit any such Party’s remedies in respect of intentional fraud by the other Party in connection with this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the Stockholders of the Company adopt this Agreement:
(a) by the mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;
(b) by Parent or the Company, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to June 1, 2018; provided, however: (i) a Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) if the Closing has failed to occur because such Party has failed to perform or observe in any material respect its covenants and agreements hereunder; and (ii) provided that Company has not failed to perform or observe in any material respect its covenants and agreements hereunder, Company shall be entitled to an increase to the Closing Date Consideration in the amount of $12,000 per diem for every day the Closing extends beyond the later of (A) the date that the Company has satisfied all of the conditions set forth in Article VI, and any Parent review period with respect to the Disclosure Schedule Update and review of supplemental due diligence related thereto has expired; and (B) April 16, 2018.
(c) by the Company, if Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, such that any conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) would not be satisfied; provided that if such breach is curable within 30 days after the giving of written notice to Parent or Merger Sub, then the Company may not terminate this Agreement unless such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such 30-day period;
(d) by Parent, if the Company shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, such that any conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied; provided that if such breach is curable within 30 days after the giving of written notice to Parent or Merger Sub, then the Parent may not terminate this Agreement unless such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such 30-day period;
(e) by Parent, if Merger Consents constituting the Stockholder Requisite Consent are not delivered to Parent within two Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement;
(f) by Parent, in accordance with Section 5.11; and
(g) by Parent, if Parent determines not to complete the Series E Closing.
9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company and their respective directors, officers or shareholders, except that (a) the provisions
-39-
of Section 5.7 and this Article 9 shall survive, and (b) except as set forth in Section 9.3, no such termination shall relieve any party from liability by reason of any intentional fraud or willful and intentional breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement.
9.3 Breakage Fee.
(a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Sections 9.1(b) or 9.1(c), or this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(g), Parent shall pay the Company $1,500,000 (the “Breakage Fee”) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days following such termination).
(b) Each of the Parties expressly acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any termination of this Agreement under circumstances in which the Breakage Fee is payable pursuant to Section 9.3(a), payment of the Breakage Fee shall constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which the Company would otherwise be entitled to assert against Parent with respect to any such termination of this Agreement, and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, the Company Stockholders, or any other Person against Parent and the former, current and future equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, and Affiliates of Parent for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any covenant or agreement or the failure of the transactions contemplated herein to be consummated. The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages with respect to the foregoing upon any such termination of this Agreement under circumstances in which the Breakage Fee is payable pursuant to Section 9.3(a), the right to such payment: (i) constitutes a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered by reason of any such termination of this Agreement, and (ii) shall be in full and complete satisfaction of any and all damages arising as a result of any such termination of this Agreement.
