Together with the Earnout Income Statement, Buyer shall deliver a schedule (each such schedule, an “Earnout Schedule”) setting forth Business Revenue for the relevant Earnout Period, which shall include a calculation of any Earnout Payment proposed to be paid for the relevant Earnout Period, in each case derived from the information contained in the applicable Earnout Income Statement but calculated in accordance with the terms of this

If Seller does not notify Buyer of a dispute with respect to such Earnout Income Statement or Earnout Schedule within such 30-day period, such Earnout Income Statement and Earnout Schedule will be deemed final, conclusive and binding on the parties. If Seller delivers a notice of dispute within such 30-day period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute.

(i) Any payments due to Seller under the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6 not paid upon delivery of the applicable Earnout Income Statement and Earnout Schedule under Section 2.6(a) are to be made within five Business Days of the final determination of Business Revenue in accordance with Section 2.6(b) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller to Buyer at least two Business Days prior to the date payment is required to be made to Seller hereunder.

(j) Each member of Seller Group acknowledges that, effective as of the Closing, Buyer owns and controls the Business and the Acquired Assets, and that Buyer may operate the Business and the Acquired Assets in such manner as it determines in its sole discretion to be in its best interests. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Seller Group agrees and acknowledges that, for each Earnout Period, Buyer shall not be obligated to expend more than 5% of Business Revenue on sales and marketing expenses relating to the Business.

(k) In the event that, prior to the end of the Third Earnout Period, Buyer or its Affiliate acquires another company or business and combines such other company or business with the Business, then each of the First Period Tier One Threshold, the First

Period Tier Two Threshold, the Second Period Tier One Threshold, the Second Period Tier Two Threshold, the Third Period Tier One Threshold, the Third Period Tier Two Threshold, the Fourth Period Tier One Threshold and the Fourth Period Tier Two Threshold shall, as of the effective date of such acquisition, be increased by an amount equal to the actual Business Revenue of such acquired company or business for the trailing twelve-month period immediately preceding the effective date of such acquisition (prorated as necessary and appropriate for a partial Earnout Period), and, for purposes of this Section 2.6, Seller shall be credited with all revenue generated by such acquired company or business that constitutes Business Revenue.

(l) If, prior to the end of the Fourth Earnout Period, Buyer sells the Business or any material portion thereof to a Person that is not an Affiliate of Axsys (other than in ordinary course transactions involving sales of inventory or the replacement of equipment and other tangible personal property used in the Business), then Axsys shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller a liquidated amount, if any, in complete discharge of Axsys’ obligations under this Section 2.6 and under Section 2.7, equal to the sum of: (i) 50% of the net proceeds realized by Buyer upon such sale in excess of (A) any amounts paid by or caused to be paid by Axsys to Seller in connection with the acquisition of the Business and after the Closing pursuant to this Article 2, (B) any amounts paid by or caused to be paid by Axsys or any of its Affiliates in connection with the consummation of any acquisition contemplated by Section 2.6(k), (C) any amounts paid by Buyer or any of its Affiliates for capital expenditures for the benefit of the Business between the Closing and the consummation of such sale, and (D) any Sales Commissions, subject to a maximum payment under this clause (i) of $42,500,000; plus (ii) 5% of any net proceeds (as calculated under clause (i)) in excess of $85,000,000.

If Buyer or Axsys makes payment to Helinet and/or Xxxx Xxxxx in accordance with such written notice from Seller, such payment shall fully discharge Buyer’s and Axsys’s obligations under this Section 2.6 and/or Section 2.7 to make such payment to Seller, and neither Buyer nor Axsys shall have any further liability to any member of Seller Group with respect thereto.

2.7 Post-Earnout Bookings. If (a) during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Business has entered into any Contracts that provide for the delivery of products in multiple twelve-month periods after the end of the Earnout Period (the “Multi-Year Contracts”) and, as of the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Multi-Year Contracts have an aggregate backlog (i.e., contractually committed orders) in excess of $10,000,000 of Business Revenue and (b) such Multi-Year Contracts generate Business Revenue in any future twelve-month period (ending on the last

day of the month closest to the Closing Date) in which the Business recognizes at least $40,000,000 of Business Revenue excluding Business Revenue generated by the Multi-Year Contracts, then Axsys shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller, as soon as practicable after the end of each such future twelve-month period, an amount calculated in accordance with the following schedule:

2.9 Working Capital Adjustment.

In the event of such notification of a dispute,

Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute.

(d) Downward Adjustment. If the Final Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(b)) is less than the Target Working Capital, then the Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by the amount of the shortfall (the “Working Capital Shortfall”), and Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Buyer an amount in cash equal to the Working Capital Shortfall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer to Seller. Any such payment is to be made within five Business Days of the date on which the Final Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(b).

(e) Upward Adjustment. If the Final Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(b)) is greater than the Target Working Capital, then the Purchase Price will be adjusted upward by the amount by which the Final Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital (the “Working Capital Excess”), and Axsys shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Working Capital Excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller to Axsys. Any such payment is to be made within five Business Days of the date on which the Final Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(b).

2.10 Allocation of Consideration. After the Final Working Capital Statement is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(b), Seller and Buyer shall allocate the Purchase Price and, to the extent required, Assumed Liabilities and relevant transaction costs among the Acquired Assets and any other rights being purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the fair market values determined pursuant to the methodology set forth on Schedule 2.10 and Section 1060 of the Code. Once finalized, each of the parties hereto shall report the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets in accordance with this Section 2.10 for all income Tax and Transfer Tax purposes. Once finalized, Buyer and Seller shall adopt and utilize the fair market values determined pursuant to the methodology set forth in this

Section 2.10 for purposes of filing IRS Form 8594 and all other Returns filed by each of them (unless otherwise required by Law), and each of them will not voluntarily take any position inconsistent therewith upon examination of any such Return, in any judicial or administrative proceeding or otherwise with respect to such Returns.

Schedule 2.10 shall be amended in accordance with applicable Law as the parties jointly agree in writing.

(a) Immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer shall offer an employment opportunity to those employees of Seller Group set forth on Schedule 6.5, each of whom is primarily involved in the conduct of the Business as of the Closing Date, at such rate of pay and with such employee benefits as are comparable in the aggregate to each such employee’s current level of compensation and benefits, provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to employ any such employee for any period of time or continue any term or condition of employment or any employment benefits or policies for any period of time. Any employees who accept Buyer’s offer of employment and are hired will be referred to as “Transferred Employees”.

(b) The service time accrued by and any deductibles paid by any Transferred Employee during such Transferred Employee’s employment with Seller or its predecessor-in-interest will be recognized by Buyer (to the extent applicable) for purposes of eligibility for benefits under any plan, policy, program or arrangement maintained by Buyer for the benefit of Buyer’s employees. During such Transferred Employee’s employment by Buyer, each Transferred Employee shall have the right to participate in any and all benefit plans, policies and arrangements available to Buyer’s employees generally (including, Buyer’s 401(k) plan), in each case subject to the terms and conditions of each plan, policy, program or arrangement and to the extent of other similarly situated employees of Buyer.

(c) No provision of this Section 6.5 shall: (i) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of Seller or any other Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; (ii) constitute or create an employment agreement; or (iii) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates.

6.6 Licensed Intellectual Property.

(a) Each of Seller and Helinet, as applicable, hereby grants to Buyer an irrevocable, nontransferable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, and fully paid-up license to the Licensed Intellectual Property, including the right to use, make, sell, advertise, offer to sell, import and supply products and services incorporating the Licensed Intellectual Property, solely in connection with the operation of the Business as currently conducted.

(b) Buyer shall have a limited right (consistent with the right granted under clause (a) above) to grant sublicenses under the Licensed Intellectual Property to: (i) Buyer’s Affiliates; provided, however, that any such sublicense shall automatically terminate if such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate of Buyer; (ii) Buyer’s contractors for the use, manufacturing, sale, advertising, offer for sale, importation and supply by Buyer or its Affiliates of products and services in connection with the operation of the Business; and (iii) Buyer’s customers for use in connection with the products of the Business in which such Licensed Intellectual Property may be embedded or otherwise used.

(c) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, except to the extent set forth herein, all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Intellectual Property is solely vested in Seller or Helinet, as the case may be, at all times.

6.7 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, at the request of Buyer, Seller and Shareholders shall take such actions and provide such assistance, or cause to be taken such actions and provided such assistance, or execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to Buyer such other agreements or instruments, in addition to those required by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, as Buyer may reasonably request, in order to implement the Contemplated Transactions, including (a) obtaining the consents set forth on Schedule 3.2(g) that are not obtained prior to the Closing Date, (b) delivering any closing documents required by Section 3.2 that Buyer waived at the time of the Closing, (c) taking such actions as may be necessary to transfer all transferable Permits relating to the Acquired Assets or the Business to Buyer as contemplated by Section 2.1(b) and (d) cooperating with Buyer at Buyer’s reasonable request to supply documentation (including records and correspondence, both paper and electronic) and other information relating to, and making their respective employees available for interviews and teleconferences with respect to, export compliance matters (including any voluntary disclosures and similar matters), the transfer of any transferable export licenses relating to the Business to Buyer, and the application by Buyer for any new or replacement export licenses relating to the Business. Seller shall preserve all such documentation (including electronic records and correspondence) for at least three (3) years following the Closing Date. From and after the Closing Date, at the request of Seller,

Buyer shall take, or cause to be taken, such actions, or execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to Seller, such other agreements or instruments, in addition to those required by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, as Seller may reasonably request, in order to implement the Contemplated Transactions.

6.8 Tax Audits; Cooperation. In connection with the preparation of any Returns, audit examinations, and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the Tax liabilities relating to the Business, Buyer and Seller Group will cooperate fully with each other, including by furnishing or making available during normal business hours records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Governmental Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes.

6.9 Tax Clearances; Bulk Sales Laws; Proration of Certain Taxes.

(a) Within the time period prescribed by applicable Law, Buyer or Seller, as appropriate, shall report the sale of the Acquired Assets to the applicable state Taxing Authorities to which the Business is subject, which report shall state the names and addresses of Buyer and Seller, the Closing Date and any other information required under applicable Law and may be accompanied by a copy of this Agreement (or portions thereof) if required by applicable Law.

(b) If not paid by Seller, Buyer may pay out of the Escrow Amount or its own funds any state Tax obligation, including interest and penalties, due from Seller to any state Taxing Authority for sales Taxes, employee withholding Taxes, or any other Taxes for which Buyer may be held liable. Seller will promptly reimburse Buyer for any such payments made by Buyer out of its own funds.

(c) All Personal Property Taxes will be prorated as of the Closing Date with (i) Seller being liable for such taxes relating to any time period or periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) Buyer being liable for such taxes relating to any time period or periods beginning after the Closing Date. Proration of Personal Property Taxes will be made on the basis of the most recent officially certified tax valuation and assessment for the Acquired Assets. If such valuation pertains to a tax period other than that which the Closing occurs, such apportionment will be recalculated at such time as actual tax bills for such period are available, and the parties will cooperate with each other in all respects in connection with such recalculation and pay any sums due in consequence thereof to the party entitled to recover the same within 60 days after the issuance of such actual tax bills.

(d) Buyer hereby waives compliance with the provisions of the applicable statutes relating to bulk transfers or bulk sales.

6.10 Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation.

(a) In consideration of the Purchase Price and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, Seller agrees that, for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall

not permit its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, own, manage, engage in, operate, control, promote, consult with, invest in, render services for, do business with or participate in a business that competes with the Business (the “Competitive Activities”) in North America, South America, Europe, Asia or Australia. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer hereby agrees that the foregoing covenant shall not be deemed breached as a result of ownership by Seller (together with Seller’s Affiliates) of less than an aggregate of 5% of any class of capital stock of a person engaged, directly or indirectly, in Competitive Activities.

(b) Seller agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, at any time during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, solicit, induce or encourage, or attempt to solicit, induce or encourage, any employee of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to terminate his or her employment with Buyer or such Affiliate, or hire or attempt to hire any employee of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, in each case, without obtaining written consent from Buyer prior to engaging or attempting to engage in such solicitation, inducement, encouragement or hiring, regardless of whether contact is initiated by Seller or by such employee; provided, however, that Buyer agrees that the foregoing covenant shall not be deemed breached as a result of (i) any general, public advertisements of employment placed by Seller in the Ordinary Course of Business not targeted at employees of the Business, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, or (ii) Seller’s solicitation or hiring of individuals that have previously terminated employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer without Seller’s inducement.

6.11 Retention and Access to Records. After the Closing, Buyer shall retain for a period consistent with Buyer’s record retention policies and practices those records of Seller delivered to Buyer. Buyer also shall provide Seller and its representatives reasonable access thereto, during normal business hours and on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, to enable them to prepare financial statements or tax returns or deal with tax audits. After the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer and Buyer’s representatives reasonable access to records that are Excluded Assets, during normal business hours and on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, for any reasonable business purpose specified by Buyer in such notice.

ARTICLE 7: REMEDIES

7.1 General Indemnification Obligations.

(a) Indemnification by Seller Group. Subject to the limitations and procedures contained in Section 7.3 and in Section 7.2(b), from and after the Closing, each member of Seller Group shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any and all losses, Liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, fines, judgments, awards, settlements, Taxes, costs, fees, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and disbursements (collectively “Losses”) suffered, incurred or sustained by any of such parties based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of (i) any misrepresentation of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of any member of Seller Group contained

in this Agreement (including any schedule hereto) or any of the Transaction Agreements, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of any member of Seller Group contained in this Agreement (including any schedule hereto) or any of the Transaction Agreements, (iii) any violation of or Liability arising under any bulk sales Law in connection with the transfer of the Acquired Assets hereunder, (iv) the failure of Seller to assume, pay, perform and discharge the Excluded Liabilities, (v) the failure of the landlord under the Facility Lease Agreement to complete construction and deliver possession of the leased premises to Buyer on the terms and in the condition provided in the Facility Lease Agreement, (vi) any non-compliance or alleged or possible non-compliance with U.S. Export Control Laws by any member of Seller Group or any of its employees with respect to the Business prior to the Closing, or (vii) to the extent interest or other income earned on the Escrow Amount is disbursed to Seller under the Escrow Agreement, any Taxes paid by Buyer in respect of interest or other income earned on the Escrow Amount; provided, however, Seller shall not indemnify Buyer for any accrued items set forth on the Final Working Capital Statement.

(b) Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations and procedures contained in Section 7.3 and in Section 7.2(b), from and after the Closing, Axsys and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Seller (including its officers, managers, employees, agents and Affiliates) and Shareholders from and against any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of such Persons based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of (i) any misrepresentation of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement (including any schedule hereto) or any of the Transaction Agreements, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement (including any schedule hereto) or any of the Transaction Agreements, (iii) the failure of Buyer to assume, pay, perform and discharge the Assumed Liabilities, or (iv) Buyer’s conduct and operation of the Business after the Closing (excluding Losses for which Buyer is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder).

7.2 Notice and Opportunity to Defend.

(a) Notice of Asserted Liability. As soon as is reasonably practicable after any member of Seller Group, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, becomes aware of any claim that such party has under Section 7.1 that may result in a Loss (a “Liability Claim”), such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice of such Liability Claim (a “Claims Notice”) to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”). A Claims Notice must describe the Liability Claim in reasonable detail and must indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the extent that such delay or failure has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. Each Indemnifying Party to whom a Claims Notice is given shall respond to any Indemnified Party that has given such Claims Notice (a “Claim Response”) within 30 days after the date that such Claims Notice is given. Any Claim

Response shall specify whether or not the Indemnifying Party giving the Claim Response disputes the claim described in the Claims Notice. If any Indemnifying Party fails to give a Claim Response within such 30-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed not to dispute the Liability Claim described in the related Claims Notice. If any Indemnifying Party elects not to dispute a Liability Claim described in a Claims Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response or otherwise, then the amount of such Liability Claim shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to such Indemnified Party, in accordance with Section 7.3(e), the amount to which such Indemnified Party shall be entitled.

(b) Opportunity to Defend. The Indemnifying Party has the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after receipt of a Claims Notice from the Indemnified Party, to assume and conduct the defense of the Liability Claim described in such Claims Notice in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that there is no conflict of interest that, under applicable principles of legal ethics, as expressed in a written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, would prohibit a single counsel from representing both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in such action. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Liability Claim in accordance with this Section 7.2(b), then the Indemnified Party may continue to defend such Liability Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Liability Claim as provided in this Section 7.2(b), then the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of the Liability Claim; provided, however, that if (i) a conflict of interest has arisen or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Liability Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, has the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Liability Claim that the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Liability Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Liability Claim that (A) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a complete release from all liability in respect of such Liability Claim, (B) grants any injunctive or equitable relief or (C) may reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the affected business of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party has the right to settle any Liability Claim, the defense of which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.2, Buyer shall exercise control of the defense or handling of any Liability Claim with respect to which Buyer is the Indemnified Party arising under Section 7.1(a)(vi), including any Liability Claim arising out of any filing or proceeding with any

Governmental Authority as a result of voluntary disclosures made by Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to the Business under U.S. Export Control Laws, solely at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party has the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense or handling of any Liability Claim arising under Section 7.1(a)(vi) that Buyer is defending or handling as provided in the preceding sentence, and the Indemnifying Party shall not communicate with any Governmental Authority regarding any such Liability Claim without Buyer’s prior written consent. Buyer may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, consent to a settlement of any such Liability Claim arising under Section 7.1(a)(vi) that Buyer is defending or handling as provided in this Section 7.2(c) that grants any injunctive or equitable relief against the Indemnifying Party.

7.3 Survivability; Limitations.

(a) The representations and warranties of Buyer and Seller Group contained in this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements will survive for a period ending on the eighteen-month anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that: (i) the Expiration Date for any Liability Claim relating to a misrepresentation of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 will be 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, as extended; (ii) the Expiration Date for any Liability Claim relating to a misrepresentation of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.7 shall be the 42-month anniversary of the date of this Agreement; (iii) there will be no Expiration Date for any Liability Claim relating to a misrepresentation of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties set forth in (A) Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.8(g) or Section 4.21 (collectively the “Excluded Representations”) or (B) Section 5.1, Section 5.2 or Section 5.5; and (iv) any Liability Claim pending on any Expiration Date for which a Claims Notice has been given in accordance with Section 7.2 on or before such Expiration Date may continue to be asserted and indemnified against until finally resolved. All of the covenants and agreements of Buyer and of each member of Seller Group contained in this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements will survive in accordance with their respective terms.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 7, no member of Seller Group shall have any liability as a result of any misrepresentation of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (other than Section 4.5, Section 4.6, Section 4.7 and the Excluded Representations), until the aggregate amount of all such Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by the Person to be indemnified under Section 7.1(a) exceeds $400,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the members of Seller Group shall be jointly and severally liable for all such Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 7, no member of Seller Group shall have any liability as a result of any misrepresentation of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (other than Section 4.5, Section 4.6, Section 4.7 and the Excluded Representations) in excess of $12,000,000 (the “Cap”).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 7.3, neither the Cap nor the Deductible shall apply (i) in the event any member of Seller Group is found to have committed fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (ii) to any indemnification claim made by Buyer based on any misrepresentation of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.5, Section 4.6, Section 4.7 or any of the Excluded Representations.

(e) Any indemnification of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 7 shall be effected by wire transfer or transfers of immediately available funds from the Indemnifying Party to an account or accounts designated by the Indemnified Party within 15 days after the final determination thereof; provided, however, that, if Buyer is the Indemnified Party, Buyer shall first recover any indemnification payment or other amounts (or any portion thereof) then due and unpaid from any member of Seller Group on a joint and several basis, from the then-existing Escrow Amount, and second, by retaining and setting off such amounts (or any portion thereof) against any amounts due or to become due from Buyer to any member of Seller Group under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements, including any Earnout Payment or post-earnout payment otherwise due to Seller under Section 2.6 or Section 2.7, as applicable, and third, as Buyer may elect at its option (including on a joint and several basis from any member of Seller Group).

(f) For all purposes of (i) determining whether there has been any misrepresentation of or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and (ii) calculating Losses hereunder, any “material,” “materiality,” “material adverse effect” or similar qualification in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded.

7.4 Specific Performance. Each party’s obligation under this Agreement is unique. If any party should breach its covenants under this Agreement, including the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 6.10, the parties each acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages; accordingly, the nonbreaching party or parties, in addition to any other available rights or remedies, may xxx in equity for specific performance, and each party expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate.

7.5 Adjustment to Purchase Price. All amounts paid by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, under this Article 7 shall be treated by the parties as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law or Order.

7.6 Mitigation. Any Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder, including in connection with any settlements entered into by Buyer with respect to a Liability Claim arising under Section 7.1(a)(vi).

7.7 Insurance Benefits; Tax Benefits.

(a) The amount of Losses incurred by any Indemnified Party hereunder will be calculated net of (i) any amount actually recovered by such Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies with respect to such Losses, and (ii) the amount of any actual net reduction in Taxes then payable by such Indemnified Party in the same taxable year as the indemnification payment to the extent arising from the recognition of the applicable Loss.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.7(a) above, to the extent the Indemnified Party has not received the insurance proceeds or had the benefit of the Tax reduction (as the case may be) at the time any indemnity payment is due to be paid to it, such indemnity payment shall be made in gross (i.e., without respect to any net reductions). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall be required to reimburse the Indemnifying Party for amounts required to be netted from the gross indemnity payments at such time as the Indemnified Party actually receives such insurance proceeds and/or actually recognizes the Tax reduction, as the case may be.

(c) It is acknowledged and agreed that, notwithstanding the deductions provided in this Section 7.7, nothing herein shall limit an Indemnified Party’s recovery for Losses under Article 7 related to the cost of any insurance deductible or increased premiums or any cost incurred in obtaining a Tax refund or other Tax benefit.

7.8 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud or where a party may be entitled to injunctive relief or other equitable remedies hereunder, after the Closing, the indemnification provided in this Article 7 will constitute the exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.9 Excluded Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except for payments made to third parties in respect of which a party is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder, no party shall be liable hereunder for special, consequential, exemplary or punitive Damages or for any Damages based on multiples of lost profits or multiples of future cash flows.

ARTICLE 8: MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Expenses; Transfer Taxes. Each of the parties shall bear their respective expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided, however, that in the event of litigation between the parties in connection with this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees that the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the other party of reasonable fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the prevailing party in connection therewith. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) imposed on Buyer or Seller in connection with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne and paid up

to $12,500 by Seller, and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any excess over such amount. The parties hereto will cooperate with each other in connection with the filing of any Returns relating to Transfer Taxes, including joining in the execution of any such Returns or other documentation. Buyer and Seller shall, upon request of the other party, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Tax.

8.2 No Assignment. The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Buyer may, upon written notice to Seller, but without the consent of any member of Seller Group, assign its rights under this Agreement to any lender of Buyer or to any Affiliate of Buyer, provided that such party agrees to assume and perform Buyer’s obligations hereunder and that Buyer shall not be released from its obligations hereunder.

8.3 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are included for purposes of convenience only, and do not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

8.4 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights, and this Agreement does not confer any such rights, upon any other Person, including any employee or former employee of any member of Seller Group.

8.5 Integration, Modification and Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement (which shall continue in full force and effect to the extent provided in Section 6.2 and shall survive the Closing), the Transaction Agreements and all exhibits, schedules, certificates and other instruments delivered under this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement will be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties to this Agreement. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed to be or will constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver.

8.6 Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements must be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof must arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements. When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or a Schedule or Exhibit to, this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law will be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” when used in this Agreement (or any variation thereof) shall mean “including,

without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Terms defined in the singular in this Agreement shall also include the plural and vice versa.

8.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision of this Agreement to any party or circumstance is, to any extent, adjudged invalid or unenforceable, the application of the remainder of such provision to such party or circumstance, the application of such provision to other parties or circumstances, and the application of the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected thereby.
