1.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price will be allocated in the manner set forth in Schedule 1.3 to be attached hereto prior to Closing (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Each of the Parties, when reporting the transactions consummated hereunder in their respective tax returns, shall allocate the Purchase Price paid or received, as the case may be, in a manner that is consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation set forth in Schedule 1.3 hereto.

Payments of the Purchase Price (as defined in this Agreement), the Earnout Amounts and the Purchase Price as defined in the Interest Purchase Agreement shall be taken into account when determining Damages of a Buyer Indemnified Party (as defined below). Each Seller, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates (including but not limited to the General Partner, the PC and the Partnership (post-Closing)), and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, representatives, controlling persons, stockholders and similarly situated persons (but excluding Sellers) (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and pay any and all Damages actually incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party, resulting from or arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty made by such Seller under Section 2.1 of this Agreement or Section 2.1 of the Interest Purchase Agreement. Sellers other than Dernoga, jointly and severally, and Dernoga, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless from and pay any and all Damages actually incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party, resulting from or arising out of any of the following: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty any Seller Party has made in this Agreement or the Interest Purchase Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1); (b) any breach, violation or default by any Seller Party of any covenant, agreement or obligation of such Seller Party in this Agreement or the Interest Purchase Agreement; (c) the matters set forth in Schedule 3.16; (d) any claims by any partners of the Partnership related to such partners’ right of first refusal under the terms of the Partnership Agreement as relates to the sale of Interests contemplated by the Interest Purchase Agreement, and any actions taken by, or any failure to act by, the Partnership, the General Partner or any Seller in relation to such right of first refusal; (e) any payments due to Dernoga under his employment agreement with the General Partner or the Partnership, as the case may be, resulting from, arising out of, or attributable to the consummation of the Transactions (except as set forth in Section 7.7); and (f) any claims related to any of the Excluded Agreements and/or any acts or omissions by any of the Companies in connection with any of the Excluded Agreements (including in connection with the Vitamin Business (as defined in Schedule 5.7)).

31
11.4 Indemnification Claim Procedures.
(a) If any Action is commenced that may give rise to a claim for indemnification (an “Indemnification Claim”) by any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any Person obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party (an “Indemnitor”), then such Indemnified Party will promptly give written notice to the Indemnitor. Failure to timely notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the defense of such Action is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to timely give such notice. An Indemnitor may elect at any time to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of the Indemnification Claim with counsel of the Indemnitor’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnitor will not approve of the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written approval (which must not be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably). Until an Indemnitor assumes the defense of the Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against the Indemnification Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party reasonably deems appropriate. If the Indemnified Party gives an Indemnitor notice of an Indemnification Claim and the Indemnitor does not, within ten (10) days after such notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Indemnification Claim and thereafter promptly assume such defense, then the Indemnitor will be bound by any judicial determination made with respect to such Indemnification Claim or any compromise or settlement of such Indemnification Claim effected by the Indemnified Party. |
(b) A claim for any matter not involving a third party may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought. |
11.5 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article 11 to the contrary, Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 11.2 from and against any Damages resulting from, arising out of, or caused by the breach of any representation or warranty, until the total of all such Damages which Buyer Indemnified Parties have suffered by reason thereof, plus total Damages that Buyer Indemnified Parties have suffered resulting from, arising out of, or caused by the breach of any representation or warranty of any Seller under the Interest Purchase Agreement, exceeds $100,000, but then Sellers shall be liable for all such Damages, to the extent such Damages exceed $50,000 (i.e., excluding only the first $50,000 of such Damages); provided, however, that (a) the maximum aggregate liability of Sellers hereunder will not exceed an amount (such amount, the “Cap”) equal to the sum of the Purchase Price under this Agreement, the Earnout Amounts, and the Purchase Price as defined under the Interest Purchase Agreement and (b) neither the Cap nor the Basket shall apply to (i) indemnification obligations with respect to breaches of Sections 2.1(a), 2.1(b), 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, and 3.24 of this Agreement and the Interest Purchase Agreement and (ii) any breach that constitutes fraud.
11.6 Right of Set-Off. Buyer may set off in good faith Damages to which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder against the Earnout Amounts, in Buyer’s sole discretion. Buyer shall give Sellers prompt notice of any such offset. In the event that Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Parties are later determined pursuant to this Article 11 not to be or have been entitled to recover all or part of the Damages so set off (the “Disallowed Set Off Amount”), Buyer will promptly pay the applicable Seller the Disallowed Set Off Amount, together with interest thereon at an annual rate equal to eight percent (8%) per annum, which such interest will begin accruing on the date Buyer is obligated to pay the applicable Earnout Amount to Sellers pursuant to Section 1.4.
32
11.7 Calculation of Losses. The amount of any Damages payable under this Article 11 shall be reduced by any net insurance proceeds which the applicable Indemnified Party actually receives with respect to the event or occurrence giving rise to such Damages for which indemnification is sought under this Article 11. If an Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Damages and such Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Damages from a third party based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against such third party as are reasonably necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from such third party the amount of such indemnification payment. Although a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party may be entitled to recover Damages under the indemnification provisions of both this Agreement and the Interest Purchase Agreement with respect to a particular claim, such Person shall not be entitled to recover the same Damages twice under such agreements.
11.8 Negligence of Another Person. ANY PARTY’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE NEGATED BY ANY OTHER PERSON’S ALLEGED OR PROVEN SOLE, JOINT OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE.

This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents and all schedules, exhibits, annexes or other attachments hereto or thereto, and the certificates, documents, instruments and writings that are delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article 11, there are no third party beneficiaries having rights under or with respect to this Agreement.
12.2 Assignment; Binding Effect. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties. All of the terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns.
12.3 Joint and Several Obligations. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1, the covenants and obligations of, and the representations and warranties made by or attributable to, any Seller Party pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed to be made by and attributable to each Seller other than Dernoga, jointly and severally, and Dernoga, severally and not jointly, and Buyer will have the right to pursue remedies against any one or more Sellers without any obligation to give notice to or to pursue all Sellers, or to give notice to or pursue any individual Seller, before pursuing any other Seller.

12.4 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be given by personal delivery, by certified United States mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for next day delivery, or by facsimile transmission (with written confirmation of receipt), to the intended recipient at the address set forth for the recipient on the signature page (or to such other address as any Party may give in a notice given in accordance with the provisions hereof). All notices, requests or other communications will be effective and deemed given only as follows: (i) if given by personal delivery, upon such personal delivery, (ii) if sent by certified mail, on the fifth business day after being deposited in the United States mail, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by overnight delivery service, on the date of delivery as confirmed by written confirmation of delivery or (iv) if sent by facsimile, upon the transmitter’s confirmation of receipt of such facsimile transmission, except that if such confirmation is received after 5:00 p.m. (in the recipient’s time zone) on a business day, or is received on a day that is not a business day, then such notice, request or communication will not be deemed effective or given until the next succeeding business day. Notices, requests and other communications sent in any other manner, including by electronic mail, will not be effective.
12.5 Specific Performance; Remedies. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity. Except as expressly provided herein, the rights, obligations and remedies created by this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, obligations or remedies otherwise available at law or in equity. Nothing herein will be considered an election of remedies.
12.6 Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
12.7 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to any choice of law principles.
12.8 Amendment; Extensions; Waivers. No amendment, modification, waiver, replacement, termination or cancellation of any provision of this Agreement will be valid, unless the same is in writing and signed by all the Parties. Each waiver of a right hereunder does not extend beyond the specific event or circumstance giving rise to the right. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor does any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right or remedy.
34
12.9 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any Party or to any circumstance, is judicially determined not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Parties agree that the court judicially making such determination may modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its modified form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.
12.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Sellers will bear their own and the Companies’, and Buyer will bear its own, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal counsel and accountants.
12.11 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Parties.
12.12 Construction; Knowledge. This Agreement has been freely and fairly negotiated among the Parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any law will be deemed to refer to such law as in effect on the date hereof and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant. “Knowledge,” and words of similar import, means, when applied to a Seller Party as to a particular matter, the actual knowledge of Arsht, Brownstein, Xxxxxxxxx and/or Dernoga, after reasonable inquiry.
35
12.13 Schedules. The schedules and information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules specifically refer to the section (and paragraph, if applicable) of this Agreement to which such schedule and information is responsive; provided, however, that any schedules or information set forth in one section of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to apply to each other section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules so long as such disclosure with respect to such fact, circumstance or matter is in sufficient detail to enable a reasonable reader to identify its applicability to the relevant section of this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth in the Schedules with respect to a specifically identified representation or warranty), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.
12.14 Parent Guaranty. HTRN hereby agrees that (1) it will cause Buyer to, and guarantees to Sellers that Buyer will, fully comply with the terms of this Agreement, and (2) it shall perform Buyer’s covenants and obligations hereunder to the extent Buyer fails to perform such covenants and obligations.
12.15 Spousal Consent and Agreement. Each of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx hereby consent and agree to the sale of the Stock and the Interests according to the terms hereof. Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx hereby consents and agrees to the sale of the Stock according to the terms hereof.
