Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company, the Principal Stockholders, and the Stockholders in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the rights of the Parties to seek indemnification with respect thereto, shall survive the Closing for eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, except for the representations, warranties and indemnity obligations contained in Sections 4.1 (Organization and Corporate Power), 4.2 (Authorization of Transaction), 4.3 (Capitalization), 4.13 (Brokerage), and Article VII (Tax Matters Covenants), which shall survive for thirty (30) days past the applicable statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions); and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement no claim for any Losses may be brought on account of any of the foregoing beyond the applicable survival period. The sections enumerated in the preceding sentence shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Designated Representations.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith and with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from any Buyer Indemnitee prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. In any such case, such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive, only for the purposes of claims for indemnity related to such event and not for the purposes of claims for indemnity related to any other event, until any claim for indemnity related to such event is resolved.

9.2 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnity Obligation of the Principal Stockholders.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Article IX, each of the Principal Stockholders, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend

and hold harmless the Buyer, the Company, any other Affiliate of the Buyer and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”)from and against, and pay to the Company and, if appropriate, the other Buyer Indemnitees, any loss, deficiency, damage, Liability, claim, action, obligation, cost, Tax, expense or other charge (including interest, penalties, reasonable legal, accounting, consultant and expert fees and expenses) (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”), which the Company or the other Buyer Indemnitees may suffer, sustain or become subject to:

(A) as a result of the breach by the Company of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(B) as a result of the breach by the Company of any covenant or other agreement made by the Company in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(D) as a result of any Third Party Proceeding arising out of or relating to the Company prior to the Closing, whether or not disclosed on any Schedule;

(E) as a result of any Third Party Proceeding arising out of or relating to any Actions by Stockholders in connection with or arising from the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein;

(F) as a result of any Third Party Proceeding arising out of or relating to any prior discussions, letters of intent or agreements entered into prior to the Closing concerning the acquisition of the Company or any capital stock of the Company, whether or not disclosed on any Schedule;

(G) relating to any Existing Indebtedness as of the Closing Date that is not paid at Closing; and

(H) arising from or otherwise relating to any Stockholders’ Transaction Expenses, whenever arising or submitted to the Company.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Article IX, each Principal Stockholder (as to himself, herself or itself only) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against, and pay to the Buyer Indemnitees, any Loss that any Buyer Indemnitee may suffer, sustain or become subject to arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of any breach by such Principal Stockholder of: (A) any representation or warranty made by such Principal Stockholder in Article V or any Ancillary Agreement, or (B) the covenants or other agreements made by the Principal Stockholders in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(i) If any Buyer Indemnitee seeks indemnification under this Section 9.2, such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party or parties from whom or which such Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim, which shall mean notice to the Stockholders’ Representative. In that regard, if any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted in writing by any third party (“Third Party Proceeding”) for which an Indemnified Party may seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.2, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the same in writing, specifying in reasonable detail (if known) the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto, and the Indemnifying Party, if it so elects by written notice to the Indemnified Party prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, shall assume and control the defense thereof (and shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnified Party to give any notice contemplated by this Section 9.2(c)(i) will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, the Indemnifying Party’s ability to remedy, contest, defend or settle with respect to such Third Party Proceeding is actually prejudiced thereby.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume and control the defense, prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period as provided in Section 9.2(c)(i) above, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or (C) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Third Party Proceeding that is effected without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in notice contemplated by Section 9.2(c)(i) or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such notice, the Loss in the amount specified in the notice will be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2(a) and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss (subject to the provisions of this Article IX) to the Indemnified Party on demand.

(d) [Intentionally Omitted].

(e) Limitations. The following provisions shall apply notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Article IX:

(i) Except in respect of any Loss in connection with claims arising from fraud willful misconduct or intentional breach of covenants or other agreements herein by the Stockholders, the Principal Stockholders or the Company in connection with the Transaction or a breach of a Designated Representation, the aggregate Liability for indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(i)(A) shall not exceed the Cap Amount.

(ii) Except in respect of any Loss in connection with claims arising from fraud willful misconduct or intentional breach of covenants or other agreements herein by the Stockholders, the Principal Stockholders or the Company or a breach of a Designated Representation, in no event shall any Party be liable pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(i)(A) or 9.2(a)(ii)(A) unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $75,000 (the “Basket”), after which point the Principal Stockholders, as applicable, shall be liable for the amount of all such Losses.

(iii) Losses attributable to Taxes shall be resolved in accordance with Article VII.

(f) Materiality/Knowledge. Each of the representations and warranties that contains any “Material Adverse Change,” “in all material respects,” or other materiality (or correlative meaning) qualification shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualification for purposes of determining the amount of Losses under this Article IX, but not for purposes of determining the accuracy of any representation or warranty. Each of the representations and warranties that contains any “Knowledge”, “to the knowledge of” or other knowledge (or correlative meaning) qualification shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualification for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representation or warranty has occurred.

(g) Exclusive Remedies. Except for injunctive action or other equitable remedies, or fraud or willful misconduct, the remedies provided in this Article IX shall be exclusive remedies of the Parties after the Closing in respect of any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

9.3 Escrow; Satisfaction of Losses.

(a) Distributions Related to Escrow Shares. The Escrow Shares shall be used to satisfy pursuant to Section 9.3(b) any Losses of any Buyer Indemnitee for which an Indemnified Party delivers an indemnification notice under Section 9.2(c) to the Stockholders’ Representative on or prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months immediately following the Closing Date. On the date that is eighteen (18) months immediately following the Closing Date, the Buyer and Stockholders’ Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Principal Stockholders, an amount equal to (i) the Escrow Shares, minus (ii) any and all amounts satisfied by Buyer by set-off of the Escrow Shares for satisfaction of Losses pursuant to Section 9.3(b), minus (iii) if any indemnification claim for

Losses of any Buyer Indemnitee contained in any indemnification notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(c) prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months immediately following the Closing Date is not finally resolved, an amount equal to Buyer’s good faith estimate of the cumulative amount of all Losses disputed in any such claims as of such time (the “Pending Claim Escrow Amount”). The Pending Claim Escrow Amount shall be held as security and used by Buyer to satisfy any such disputed claims on a dollar for dollar basis. If it is finally determined pursuant to Section 9.2(c) that no Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to any portion of the Pending Claim Escrow Amount or any portion of the Pending Claim Escrow Amount is not used to set-off against any such pending claims (the “Pending Claim Escrow Excess”), the Pending Claim Escrow Excess shall be delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Principal Stockholders. The Stockholders’ Representative shall distribute amongst the Principal Stockholders any and all payments of the Escrow Shares received by the Stockholders’ Representative to the Principal Stockholders pro rata, based upon the percentages used to calculate the number of shares of each Principal Stockholder’s Closing Date Merger Consideration Shares that were deposited in the Escrow Fund; provided, if any amounts are set-off against the Escrow Shares or the Pending Claim Escrow Amount for any Buyer Indemnitee Losses under Section 9.2(a)(ii) or any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in a Letter of Transmittal, the Stockholders’ Representative shall reduce the amounts that would otherwise be payable from the Escrow Shares to the Principal Stockholder whose breach created such indemnification payment (it being the intent of the Parties, as between the Stockholders, that such Principal Stockholder should pay all amounts arising from such Principal Stockholder’s breach).

(b) Satisfaction of Buyer Indemnitees Losses; Set-Off of Escrow Shares and Contingent Merger Consideration Shares. Except with respect to the indemnity obligations contained in Article VII, any indemnification obligations owed to the Buyer Indemnitees shall be satisfied first by set-off against the Escrow Shares or the Pending Claim Escrow Amount, as applicable, by reducing the Escrow Shares or the Pending Claim Escrow Amount, as applicable, on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of such indemnification obligations, unless or until the Escrow Shares, or Pending Claim Escrow Amount, if applicable, has been reduced to zero. The value of the Escrow Shares for all purposes under this Article IX, shall be calculated using the closing price of the Buyer Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such set-off or reduction is to occur. Once the Escrow Shares and the Pending Claim Escrow Amount has been reduced to zero, any remaining indemnification owing to a Buyer Indemnitee by any Principal Stockholder pursuant to this Article IX shall be effected within fifteen (15) Business Days after the determination thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds from such Principal Stockholder to an account designated in writing by the applicable Buyer Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy any Buyer Indemnitee Losses by set-off against the Contingent Merger Consideration Shares to which the Principal Stockholders are entitled pursuant to Article II hereof on a dollar for dollar basis. The value of the Contingent Merger Consideration Shares for all purposes under this Article IX, shall be calculated using the closing price of the Buyer Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such set-off is to occur.

ARTICLE X

10.1 Press Releases and Announcements. No press releases or other announcements to the employees, customers or suppliers of the Company related to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Transaction shall be issued without the mutual approval of the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative; provided, however, that the Buyer may issue a press release after the stock market closes or before the stock market opens on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein or in any Ancillary Agreement shall prohibit the Buyer from making any filings with or disclosures to any third party and/or any Governmental Authority (including any national securities exchange) with respect to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Transaction, as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange.

10.2 Further Assurances. The Parties hereto each agree to execute such other documents or agreements or do such other acts as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for the implementation of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction. In addition, the Buyer agrees to cooperate reasonably with the Stockholders’ Representative, at Stockholders’ Representatives expense, to the extent the Stockholders’ Representative requests access to documents, employees or data in the event that the Stockholders become the subject of an audit or investigation by a Governmental Authority. From time to time, as and when requested by a party hereto, each party hereto shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments, and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions, as such other party may reasonably deem necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Without limitation, (i) any communication or other delivery

validly delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have been validly delivered to each Principal Stockholder, (ii) any consent given or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement, by the Stockholders’ Representative shall be binding upon each and every Principal Stockholder, and (iii) except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1, the Stockholders’ Representative is hereby authorized to execute for and on behalf of each Principal Stockholder any amendment to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement. This appointment of agency and this power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any Principal Stockholder or by operation of law. Neither the Stockholders’ Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any Liability to any Principal Stockholder by virtue of the failure or refusal of the Stockholders’ Representative for any reason to consummate the Transaction or relating to the performance of its other duties hereunder or any of its omissions or actions with respect thereto. The Principal Stockholders, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative, his successors, assigns, agents, attorneys and affiliates (the “Stockholders’ Representative Parties”) and to hold the Stockholders’ Representative Parties harmless against any and all losses, Liabilities or expenses incurred without bad faith on the part of the Stockholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with his duties as Stockholders’ Representative, including the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative in defending against any claim or Liability in connection herewith.
