(b) The Acquired Assets shall not include, and the Purchaser shall not purchase, any Excluded Assets, all of which shall be retained by the Company.

2.2. Assumed Liabilities; Excluded Liabilities. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Purchaser shall assume and become responsible for the Assumed Liabilities. The Purchaser shall not assume, nor shall the Purchaser agree to pay, perform, discharge or otherwise satisfy, or agree to indemnify the Company, the Shareholders or the Company Shareholder Parties against or otherwise have any responsibility or obligation for or with respect to, any Excluded Liabilities.

2.3. Purchase Price. In full consideration for the Acquired Assets, the Purchaser shall (a) assume the Assumed Liabilities, (b) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4, pay an amount equal to the Base Consideration, which amount shall be subject to adjustment as described in Sections 2.4(a), and (c) if applicable, make the Earn-Out Payments, pursuant to and in accordance with that certain Earn-Out Agreement of even date herewith (the “Earn-Out Agreement”) executed by the Purchaser, the Company and Liquidity Services, Inc., as guarantor (as so adjusted and subject to further adjustment pursuant to Section 2.4(e), the “Purchase Price”).

2.4. Payment of Purchase Price; Escrow Fund; Earn-Out Payments; Adjustment.

(a) At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company Fifteen Million Three Hundred Eighteen Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-One Dollars and Twenty Cents

($15,318,931.20) subject to adjustment insofar as feasible to reflect all prorations required pursuant to Section 5.2(a) (as so adjusted, the “Closing Payment”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company.

(b) At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deposit with BNY Trust Company of Canada, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), Two Million Seven Hundred and Three Thousand Three Hundred and Forty Dollars and Eighty Cents ($2,703,340.80) (the “Escrow Amount”) in immediately available funds to be held as the escrow fund (together with all interest accruing thereon, the “Escrow Fund”) pursuant to the Escrow Agreement among the Escrow Agent, the Company and the Purchaser dated as of the date hereof (the “Escrow Agreement”), the form of which is attached as Exhibit E hereto. The fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be split equally between the Company and the Purchaser. Amounts in the Escrow Fund may be used to satisfy claims arising under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims for indemnification pursuant to Article VI).

(c) The Purchase Price delivered to the Company and the Escrow Agent and otherwise payable in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchaser’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities shall be deemed to be full payment for and in satisfaction of all rights in and pertaining to the Acquired Assets.

(d) In addition to the Base Consideration, the Purchaser shall make the payments, if any, in accordance with the Earn-Out Agreement (collectively, the “Earn-Out Payments”).

(e) (i) Following the Closing, the Base Consideration shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4(e) based on any difference, if any, between the amount of the Base Consideration actually paid at Closing and the calculation of the Adjusted Base Consideration. The Company shall cause its accountants to restate the Financial Statements to present such Financial Statements in accordance with US GAAP (the “Restated Financial Statements”), and such Restated Financial Statements shall be delivered to the Company and the Purchaser no later than thirty (30) days following the Closing. The Purchaser shall cooperate fully with all Representatives of the Company in the preparation of the Restated Financial Statements. For purposes of reviewing the Restated Financial Statements, the Purchaser and its Representatives shall have reasonable access to all data, schedules and work papers used by the Company in preparing the Restated Financial Statements, and the employees and Representatives of the Company involved in preparing the Restated Financial Statements. The Purchaser shall have a period of fifteen (15) days to review the Restated Financial Statements after the delivery thereof to the Purchaser. During the fifteen (15) day period following such review period, the Purchaser and the Company shall discuss in good faith such revisions to the Restated Financial Statements as the Purchaser may propose. In the event that the Company and the Purchaser agree to the content of the Restated Financial Statements, then such Restated Financial Statements shall be considered to be the “Final Agreed Financial Statements” for all purposes of this Agreement. If, at the end of such fifteen (15) day period, the Company and the Purchaser have not reached agreement with respect to the content of the Restated Financial Statements, the amounts that remain in dispute shall be recalculated by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP (the “Independent Accountants”), with the Independent Accountants acting as

experts and not as arbitrators. The Independent Accountants shall be authorized to resolve only those items remaining in dispute between the Purchaser and the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4(e) within the range of the difference between the Purchaser’s position with respect thereto and the Company’s position with respect thereto. The Company and Purchaser shall direct the Independent Accountants to deliver to the Company and Purchaser, within ten (10) days after being retained, a report setting forth each recalculation, and the Restated Financial Statements, with such recalculations as are resolved by the Independent Accountants, shall be deemed to be the “Final Financial Statements” for all purposes under this Agreement. Any amounts so recalculated shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The Company shall bear the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants incurred under this Section 2.4(e).

(ii) The Base Consideration shall be adjusted, upwards or downwards, as follows:

(A) if the Adjusted Base Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) is greater than the Base Consideration, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upwards in an amount equal to the difference between the Adjusted Base Consideration and the Base Consideration, Purchaser shall pay such amount to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Adjusted Base Consideration is finally determined, and the Company and the Purchaser shall cause the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund and pay over to the Company an amount equal to Nine Hundred One Thousand One Hundred Thirteen Dollars and Sixty Cents ($901,113.60); and

(B) if the Adjusted Base Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) is less than the Base Consideration, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downwards in an amount equal to the difference between the Adjusted Base Consideration and the Base Consideration, the Company and the Purchaser shall cause the Escrow Agent to (1) release from the Escrow Fund and pay over to the Purchaser such difference between the Adjusted Base Consideration and the Base Consideration, and (2) release from the Escrow Fund and pay over to the Company an amount equal to the difference between (A) Nine Hundred One Thousand One Hundred Thirteen Dollars and Sixty Cents ($901,113.60) and (B) the amount paid to the Purchaser pursuant to subsection (1) above.

(iii) Amounts to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) shall bear interest from the Closing Date to the date of such payment at a rate equal to the prime rate in effect on the first of each month at Citibank, N.A. in New York, calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the number of days elapsed.

2.5. Necessary Actions.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements shall be construed as an agreement to assign any Acquired Asset that by its terms or pursuant to Applicable Law is not capable of being sold, assigned, transferred or delivered without the consent or waiver of a third party or Governmental Authority unless and until such consent or waiver shall be given. In

the event any such consents or waivers have not been obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, the Company, each Shareholder and each Company Shareholder Party shall use his, her or its best efforts to obtain the relevant consents or waivers until such consents or waivers are obtained, and the Company, each Shareholder and each Company Shareholder Party shall cooperate with the Purchaser in any lawful and economically feasible arrangement to provide that the Purchaser shall receive the interest of the Company in the benefits under any such Acquired Asset, including performance by the Company, if economically feasible, as agent; provided that the Purchaser shall undertake to pay or satisfy the corresponding liabilities for the enjoyment of such benefit to the extent the Purchaser would have been responsible therefor hereunder if such consents or waivers had been obtained. The Company shall not be liable for the failure to obtain such consents at or prior to Closing so long as the Company otherwise complies with the provisions of this Section 2.5 and otherwise obtains and delivers to the Purchaser such consents within thirty (30) days following Closing.

(b) For a period of two (2) years following the Closing, none of the Company, the Shareholders nor the Company Shareholder Parties shall cause or permit the Company to be dissolved or liquidated. Following the Closing, the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties shall cause the Company to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. If, following the aforementioned two (2) year period, the directors of the Company and/or the Shareholders vote to dissolve the Company and a Person is appointed to dispose of the Company’s assets, discharge its liabilities, and otherwise wind up its affairs in compliance with Applicable Law (such Person, the “Liquidator”), the Company, the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties shall instruct the Liquidator to (i) cause the Company to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and (ii) take any actions requested by the Purchaser to acknowledge and agree to the Liquidator’s responsibilities under this Section 2.5(c) to cause the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(d) Notwithstanding the above, the Shareholders, the Company Shareholder Parties and, if appointed, the Liquidator shall be jointly and severally liable for causing the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

2.6. Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall provide to the Company a draft purchase price allocation (the “Price Allocation”), which shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Applicable Law. The Company shall propose to the Purchaser any changes to the draft Price Allocation within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof. If any such changes are proposed, the Company and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith and shall use their reasonable efforts to agree upon the final Price Allocation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company and the Purchaser cannot agree upon a final Price Allocation, the Company and the Purchaser covenant and agree to file and cause their respective Affiliates to file, all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) consistent with each of the Company’s and the Purchaser’s good faith allocations, unless otherwise required by law. The Company and the Purchaser agree to act in accordance with the Price Allocation, if agreed to by both the Company and the Purchaser, or in accordance with their respective good faith

allocations, if the Company and the Purchaser do not agree to the Price Allocation, for all purposes and agree not to take any position on any Tax Return inconsistent therewith, and to conduct any audit, Tax proceeding or Tax litigation relating thereon in a manner consistent therewith.

(b) Any indemnification payment treated as an adjustment to the total consideration paid for the Acquired Assets under Section 6.2 shall be reflected as an adjustment to the consideration allocated to a specific asset, if any, giving rise to the adjustment and if any such adjustment does not relate to a specific asset, such adjustment shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets in accordance with the Price Allocation method provided in this Section 2.6.

2.7. Withholding Rights. The Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Applicable Law relating to Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Authority by the Purchaser, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company.

2.8. Allocation of Taxes. All federal, provincial, state, county and local ad valorem and real or personal property Taxes on Acquired Assets (“Property Taxes”) shall be prorated between the Purchaser and the Company as of the Closing Date, computed by multiplying the amount of Property Taxes for the fiscal period for which the same are levied or assessed by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such fiscal period up to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such fiscal period. In connection with such proration of Property Taxes, in the event that actual Property Tax figures are not available at the Closing Date, then proration of Property Taxes shall occur at the time statements are rendered therefor and payment of such Property Taxes is made.

2.9. Closing. The sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of the Purchaser concurrently with the execution hereof, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that such Closing shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.

ARTICLE V
POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

5.1. Certain Transition Matters. (a) On or before the Closing Date, the Company shall have taken such actions as are necessary for the Purchaser to have signatory rights with respect to the bank operating accounts of the Business, and for a period of ninety (90) days following the Closing the Purchaser shall have the right to utilize such accounts for the purpose of paying expenses with respect to the Purchaser’s operation of the Business following Closing (including, but not limited to, payment of employee wages, salaries and benefits) and collection of accounts receivable and other amounts with respect to the Purchaser’s operation of the Business following Closing. The Company shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Purchaser with respect to the use of such accounts. It is specifically understood and agreed that the Purchaser shall be responsible for depositing into such account, or otherwise making available to the Company, such funds as are necessary to pay Purchaser’s post-Closing operating expenses of the Business from such accounts during the aforementioned transition period. The Company and the Purchaser shall maintain books and records to reflect the amounts that each of such Parties has under deposit in such accounts, together with records of the disbursements therefrom by each such Party. The Company shall not use, withdraw or pay from such accounts any funds which are attributable to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall not use, withdraw or pay from such accounts any funds which are attributable to the Company. At the Closing, such account shall contain at least an amount of money equal to the sum of the Cash Amount plus all accruals for payroll and vacation (relating both to current and prior periods and including any such vacation accruals that may be in excess of the Company’s current policies) to the extent the same relate to periods prior to and including October 31, 2012. For the avoidance of doubt, it is

the intention of the Parties that such amounts attributable to accrued vacation shall be treated as follows: (i) vacation accruals relating to periods prior to January 1, 2011 shall be paid to the applicable employees from such amounts at the next regularly scheduled payroll following the Closing; (ii) vacation accruals relating to periods on and after January 1, 2011 shall be paid in the ordinary course as the applicable employees utilize such vacation or are required to be paid therefor, but in no event later than December 31, 2013, at which time any surplus funds after all such vacation obligations have been so satisfied will be the property of the Company.

(b) The Company, the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties shall cooperate with the efforts of the Purchaser to negotiate and execute a definitive written agreement with Asurion, LLC to memorialize the services performed by the Purchaser for Asurion, LLC following the occurrence of the Closing.

5.2. Proration of Liabilities.

(a) The Company and the Purchaser shall cooperate with each other to provide for payments due with respect to the Assumed Liabilities during the payment period in which the Closing occurs with all the Assumed Liabilities prorated as of the Closing Date, if applicable. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, all utility charges, gas charges, electric charges, water charges, water rents and sewer rents, if any, shall be apportioned between the Purchaser and the Company as of 11:59 P.M. on the Closing Date, computed on the basis of the most recent meter charges or, in the case of annual charges, on the basis of the established fiscal year. All prepaid expenses (including any rent) of the Company paid prior to the Closing Date in respect of the Business shall be apportioned between the Purchaser and the Company as of 11:59 P.M. on the Closing Date computed on the basis of the benefit received by the Company prior to the Closing Date and the benefit to be received by the Purchaser subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to any contract or other matter to which the prepaid expense relates. All prorations described in this Section 5.2(a) shall be made insofar as feasible on the Closing Date, and the Base Consideration shall be adjusted accordingly as set forth in Section 2.4.

(b) In the event the Purchaser or the Company shall receive bills after the Closing Date for expenses incurred prior to the Closing Date that were not prorated in accordance with this Section 5.2(b), then the Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other Party as to the amount of the expense subject to proration and the responsible Party shall promptly pay its portion of such expense (or, in the event such expense has been paid on behalf of the responsible Party, reimburse the other Party for its portion of such expenses).

5.3. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, and no Shareholder and no Company Shareholder Party shall, directly or indirectly through any Person or contractual arrangement, either individually or as a shareholder, director, officer, partner, member consultant, owner, employee, agent, or in any other capacity, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing, (i) solicit or offer to provide or provide Restricted Services

anywhere where the Company currently does so or has within the last eighteen (18) months been planning or proposing to do so; (ii) operate an Internet site through which Restricted Services are offered or provided in any geographic area where the Company or the Purchaser and its Affiliates do so; or (iii) directly or indirectly through any Person or contractual arrangement, perform management, executive or supervisory functions with respect to, operate, join, control, render financial assistance to, receive any economic benefit from, exert any influence upon, or participate in or allow any of its officers or employees to be connected as an shareholder, director, officer, partner, member consultant, owner, employee, agent or otherwise with, any business or Person that provides Restricted Services in any geographic area referred to earlier in this sentence.

(b) The Company, the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to not, for a period of five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, in any capacity or manner, whether directly or indirectly, individually or in partnership or otherwise jointly or in concert with any other Person (a) solicit any Customer or knowingly assist any Person directly or indirectly to solicit any Customer; or (b) respond to any contact from a Customer in respect of the purchase of products or services or otherwise doing business; or (c) induce or attempt to induce any Customer to reduce or curtail its business with the Business or to terminate its relationship with the Business. In this section “Customer” means any Person who is a customer or client of the Business as of the date hereof and includes all prospective customers and clients who have been canvassed or solicited in connection with the Business.

(c) For a period of five (5) years following the Closing, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, and no Shareholder and no Company Shareholder Party shall, directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, hire or offer to hire, induce or attempt to induce or otherwise counsel, advise, ask or encourage any Person who at any time on or after the date of this Agreement is a Transferred Employee to leave the employ of the Purchaser or to accept employment with another employer or as an independent contractor. The foregoing shall not prohibit (i) a general solicitation to the public of general advertising or similar methods of solicitation by search firms not specifically directed at Transferred Employees, or (ii) the Company or any of its Affiliates from soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Transferred Employee who has ceased to be employed or retained by the Purchaser for at least twelve (12) months.

(c) The Company, each Shareholder and each Company Shareholder Party acknowledge that the covenants of the Company and the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties set forth in this Section 5.3 are an essential element of this Agreement and that any breach by the Company or any Shareholder or any Company Shareholder Party of any provision of this Section 5.3 shall result in irreparable injury to the Purchaser. The Company, each Shareholder and each Company Shareholder Party acknowledge that in the event of such a breach, in addition to all other remedies available at law, the Purchaser shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits or other benefits arising therefrom, as well as such other damages as may be appropriate. The Company, each Shareholder and each Company Shareholder Party have independently consulted with their respective counsel and after such consultation agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 5.3 are reasonable and proper to protect the legitimate interest of the Purchaser.

(d) If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the character, duration or geographical scope of the provisions of this Section 5.3 are unreasonable, it is the intention and the agreement of the Parties that these provisions shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the Company’s, each Shareholder’s and each Company Shareholder Party’s conduct that are reasonable in light of the circumstances and as are necessary to assure to the Purchaser the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants of this Section 5.3 because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure to the Purchaser the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the Parties that the provisions hereof that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such proceeding, shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of such proceeding, from this Agreement.

5.4. Employment.

(a) The Purchaser shall offer employment to all current Employees of the Business on substantially the same terms as the Employees are employed by the Company prior to Closing. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, such employment shall be subject to terms and conditions imposed by the Purchaser, including, at the Purchaser’s election, the Employee’s agreement to confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-competition and/or non-solicitation covenants. All Employees of the Business who accept employment with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.” To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Purchaser shall offer Transferred Employees employee benefits on a basis which is substantially comparable to those offered to the Purchaser’s similarly-situated employees. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the Purchaser’s ability to modify or terminate, in accordance with Applicable Law, the employment of the Transferred Employees or their terms and conditions of employment after Closing. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any Transferring Employee, any beneficiary or dependents thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and benefits that may be provided to any Transferring Employee by the Purchaser or under any benefit plan that the Purchaser may maintain.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall (A) grant all Transferred Employees credit for all service (to the same extent as service with the Purchaser is taken into account with respect to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser) with the Company prior to the Closing for (i) eligibility and vesting purposes, and (ii) for purposes of vacation accrual after the Closing as if such service with the Purchaser was service with the Company. Subject to the approval of any insurance carrier and to the extent consistent with Applicable Law and Tax qualification requirements, the Purchaser shall cause any and all pre-existing condition (or actively-at-work or similar) limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any group medical plans to be waived with respect to the Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents and shall provide them with credit for any co-payments, deductibles and offsets (or similar payments) made during the applicable plan year before the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible, out-of-pocket,

or similar requirement under any the Purchaser’s employee benefit programs in which they are eligible to participate on and after the Closing Date.

5.5. Payment of Liabilities. At Closing, the Company shall pay or otherwise satisfy all Excluded Liabilities in accordance with the Ontario Bulk Sales Act.

5.6. Tax Matters.

(a) The Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate in preparing, executing and filing use, sales, real estate, transfer and similar Tax Returns relating to the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets or the Business. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the determination of the fair market values allocated to the Acquired Assets as contemplated by Section 2.6. All sales, transfer, documentary, stamp, recording and similar Taxes incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Assets (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by the Company.

(b) Any payments made pursuant to Section 6.2 of this Agreement shall constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the Purchaser and the Company on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(c) The Company, the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties represent and warrant that the Company is duly registered for the purposes of the federal Harmonized Sales Tax under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and that its HST number is 106551484RT0001. The Purchaser represents and warrants that it is duly registered for the purposes of federal Harmonized Sales Tax under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and that its HST number is 845281336RT0001. The Purchaser and the Company shall jointly make the election provided for under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) so that no HST will be payable in respect of the purchase transaction herein. The Purchaser and the Company shall jointly complete the Canada Revenue Agency election form in respect of such election and the Purchaser shall file such election form no later than the due date for the Purchaser’s HST return for the first reporting period in which HST would, in the absence of such election, become payable in connection with the purchase transaction herein

5.7. Refunds and Remittances. After the Closing: (i) if the Company or any of its Affiliates receive any refund or other amount that is an Acquired Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount to the Purchaser, and (ii) if the Purchaser receives any refund or other amount that is an Excluded Asset or is otherwise properly due and owing to the Company or any of its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall promptly remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount to the Company. If either Party receives a payment from a customer that cannot be identified to a specific invoice or obligation, the recipient shall inquire of the customer as to the intended application thereof and, lacking a response, the payment shall be applied to the post-Closing outstanding invoices or obligations first, and then to pre-Closing outstanding invoices or obligations.

5.8. Power of Attorney. The Company hereby constitutes and appoints the Purchaser the true and lawful attorney of the Company, with full power of substitution, in the name of the Company, but for the benefit of the Purchaser (provided, however, that the Company’s obligations shall not in any way be limited as a result of the Purchaser undertaking such expense) following the Closing to (a) collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title of any kind in or to the Acquired Assets, institute and prosecute all actions, suits and proceedings which the Purchaser may deem proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any such claim, right or title, defend and compromise all actions, suits and proceedings in respect of any Acquired Asset, and do all such acts and things in relation thereto as the Purchaser shall deem advisable and (b) endorse, without recourse, the name of the Company on any check or other evidence of indebtedness received by the Purchaser on account of any Acquired Asset. The Company acknowledges that such powers are coupled with an interest and shall not be revocable by it in any manner or for any reason, including its dissolution, and that the Purchaser shall be entitled to retain for its own account any amounts collected pursuant to such powers, including any amounts payable as interest in respect thereof. Such powers shall be granted by such powers of attorney and other instruments as shall be reasonably requested by the Purchaser.

5.9. Customer and Other Business Relationships. After the Closing, the Company, the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties shall cooperate with the Purchaser in its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of the Purchaser those business relationships of the Company existing prior to the Closing relating to the Business, including relationships with lessors, Employees, Governmental Authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers and others, and the Company shall satisfy the Excluded Liabilities in a manner that is not detrimental to any of such relationships. None of the Shareholders, the Company Shareholder Parties or the Company, nor any of its officers, directors, Employees or Representatives, shall take any action that would tend to diminish the value of the Acquired Assets after the Closing or that would interfere with the business of the Purchaser to be engaged in after the Closing, including disparaging the name or business of the Purchaser.

5.10 Public Announcements. None of the Company, the Shareholders, or the Company Shareholder Parties shall issue a press release or make any other public statement regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the Purchaser’s prior written consent.

At the Closing, the Purchaser shall offer employment to Xxxx Xxxxxxx, one of the owners of the Mississauga Affiliate, with such employment to commence on February 1, 2013 or at such other date as may be agreed upon by such parties.

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION; ESCROW

6.1. General Survival. The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, except for (i) the representation and warranty contained in each of Sections 3.11 (Taxes) and 3.27 (Solvency), which shall survive the Closing until the 120th day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation (including extensions thereof) with respect to the liabilities in question; (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1 (Organization), 3.3 (Authorization), 3.4 (Title to Assets), 3.28 (No Brokers), 4.1 (Organization) and 4.2 (Authorization) shall survive the Closing indefinitely; and (iii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.19 (Intellectual Property; Software) shall survive the Closing until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentence, if notice of the inaccuracy of such representation or warranty giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the Party from whom such indemnity may be sought before such time. The covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive indefinitely.

6.2. Indemnification.

(a) The Company, each Shareholder and each Company Shareholder Party shall jointly and severally indemnify the Purchaser and its Affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, Representatives, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against, and hold each of the Purchaser Indemnitees harmless from, and shall reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses alleged against, incurred by, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, imposed upon or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee by reason of:

(i) any inaccuracy in, misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Shareholder or Company Shareholder Party contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (disregarding any qualification or exception contained in such representation or warranty relating to materiality or Material Adverse Effect);

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company or any Shareholder or Company Shareholder Party contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(iii) the business or operation of the Company prior to the Closing Date; or

(iv) any Excluded Liabilities or Excluded Assets.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Losses” means any and all judgments, settlements, deficiencies, demands, claims, suits, actions or causes of action, Environmental Claims, assessments, administrative proceedings (including informal proceedings), investigations, audits, liabilities, losses, damages (whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential), interest, Taxes, fines, penalties, diminution in value, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal, accounting and other fees, costs and expenses of professionals and other out-of-pocket costs incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing), whether or not involving a third-party claim, and interest on any of the foregoing from the date incurred until paid at a rate equal to the prime rate in effect on the date incurred at Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, in each case as calculated by the Purchaser (subject to the Company’s right to dispute such calculation pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement). Payments by an indemnified party of amounts for which such indemnified party is indemnified hereunder shall not be a condition precedent to recovery.

(b) Any claims for indemnification hereunder must be set forth in writing and be received by the Company not later than the expiration of the applicable survival period (an “Indemnification Claim”).

(c) No Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) for any Losses unless (i) the individual item involves Losses in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) (the “De Minimis Amount”), and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Losses under all claims of all Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) shall exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Threshold”), at which time all such Losses incurred shall be subject to indemnification hereunder in full, including the amount of the Threshold; provided, however, that any Indemnification Claim pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i), with respect to the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.1 (Organization), 3.3 (Authorization), 3.4 (Title to Assets), 3.11 (Taxes), 3.19 (Intellectual Property; Software) or 3.28 (No Brokers) shall be indemnifiable in full without regard to the De Minimis Amount or the Threshold. In addition, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be collectively or individually entitled to indemnification hereunder pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) for any Losses in the aggregate in excess of an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the limitations set forth in subsection (c) above shall not be applicable with respect to any claims for Losses by any Purchaser Indemnitee against the Company or any Shareholder or Company Shareholder Party resulting from common law fraud or similar statutory provisions, or intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach.

6.3. Procedures.

(a) In order for a Purchaser Indemnitee to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any third party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Purchaser Indemnitee shall deliver notice thereof to the Party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receipt by such Purchaser Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim attaching, if applicable, a copy of such Third Party Claim. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitee against any and all Losses that may result from a Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Purchaser Indemnitee within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from the Purchaser Indemnitee of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (which expenses shall not be applied against any indemnity limitation herein) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and satisfactory to the Purchaser Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Purchaser Indemnitee for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within the time period and otherwise in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 6.3(b), the Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Purchaser Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, or (ii) the named parties to the Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Purchaser Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party, and the Purchaser Indemnitee reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Purchaser Indemnitee may present such counsel with a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Purchaser Indemnitee shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Purchaser Indemnitee’s possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Indemnitee, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (x) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing, (y) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Purchaser Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, or (z) imposes equitable

remedies or any obligation on the Purchaser Indemnitee other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Purchaser Indemnitee shall be indemnified hereunder.

(c) The indemnification required hereunder in respect of a Third Party Claim shall be made by prompt payment by the Indemnifying Party of the amount of Losses in connection therewith, as and when bills are received by the Indemnifying Party or Losses incurred have been notified to the Indemnifying Party.

(d) No Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to require that any action be made or brought against any other Person before action is brought or claim is made against it hereunder by a Purchaser Indemnitee.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.3(b), each Indemnifying Party hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an action in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Purchaser Indemnitee for purposes of any claim that a Purchaser Indemnitee may have under this Agreement with respect to such action or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim anywhere.

(f) In the event any Purchaser Indemnitee should have a claim against an Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Purchaser Indemnitee, the Purchaser Indemnitee shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Purchaser Indemnitee or otherwise than pursuant to this Article VI.

(g) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Purchaser Indemnitee within ten (10) days following the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability thereunder, the claim specified in such Indemnification Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder and shall be paid upon demand of the Purchaser Indemnitee by the Indemnifying Party or by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, as applicable. If the Indemnifying Party agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but asserts that it is obligated to pay a lesser amount than that claimed in the Indemnification Claim, such lesser amount shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder and shall be paid upon demand of the Purchaser Indemnitee by the Indemnifying Party or by Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, as applicable, without prejudice to or waiver of the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Purchaser Indemnitee in writing within ten (10) days following the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes all or a portion of its liability thereunder, either Party may seek to resolve the matter in accordance with the terms of Section 7.12 hereof; provided however, that the fourteen (14) day period referred to in Section 7.12(b) shall be reduced to five (5) days.

6.4. Remedies Not Affected by Investigation, Disclosure or Knowledge. No investigation conducted by or on behalf of any Party at any time and no disclosure provided to knowledge of any Party with respect to any event, condition or circumstance that renders inaccurate any representation or warranty or reveals the occurrence of a breach of any covenant of any other Party contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of, or to relieve such other Party of any liability for, (i) the breach of any such representation, warranty or covenant, (ii) the nonfulfillment of any of the conditions set forth in this Article VI, or (iii) any rights to indemnification or other remedy arising in connection therewith. The Purchaser hereby expressly reserves the right to seek indemnity or other remedy for any Losses arising out of or relating to any such breach notwithstanding any investigation, disclosure or knowledge as described herein.

6.5. Sources of Payment of Indemnification Claims. The Company, the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Fund is and shall be one, but not the only, source for any Purchaser Indemnitee to satisfy an Indemnification Claim hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to proceed against any one or more of the Company, the Shareholders or the Company Shareholders, to offset against any Earn-Out Payments or to make a claim against the Escrow Fund to satisfy any Indemnification Claim hereunder, none of which such actions shall be deemed to be an election of remedies, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Purchaser’s remedies hereunder, at law and in equity shall be cumulative and not exclusive. Subject to the following requirements, and subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Closing and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on the Escrow Termination Date; provided that the Escrow Fund shall not terminate on such date with respect to such remaining portion of the Escrow Fund (or some portion thereof) that is subject to any then pending Indemnification Claims, including Indemnification Claims based on a Third Party Claim that have not been finally adjudicated or settled, for which notice is delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the Escrow Termination Date. After the Escrow Termination Date and as soon as each pending Indemnification Claim has been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall distribute from the Escrow Fund, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the balance of the amount held in respect of such Indemnification Claim to the Company.

6.6. Shareholders’ Representative.

(a) Appointment of Shareholders’ Representative. Upon execution of this Agreement by the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties, effective as of the date of this Agreement and without any further action by the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall be appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Shareholders’ Representative”) for each Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties. The Shareholders’ Representative shall have full power and authority to represent all of the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties and their successors and assigns with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which all of the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties are parties (collectively, the “Representative Agreements”) and all actions taken by the Shareholders’ Representative hereunder and thereunder shall be binding upon all such Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties

and their successors and assigns as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of them; the Purchaser and its Affiliates may rely on all communications and approvals, consents or disapprovals from the Shareholders’ Representative despite receipt by the Purchaser, its Affiliates or their counsel of any information, communications or instructions from any other party to the contrary. The Shareholders’ Representative shall take any and all actions which he believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement and the Representative Agreements for and on behalf of the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties, as fully as if the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties were acting on their own behalf, including, without limitation, defending all Indemnification Claims against the Shareholders or the Company Shareholder Parties pursuant to Article VI, consenting to, compromising or settling all Indemnification Claims, conducting negotiations with the Purchaser and its agents regarding such claims, dealing with the Purchaser under this Agreement and the Representative Agreements with respect to all matters arising hereunder and thereunder, taking any and all other actions specified in or contemplated by this Agreement and the Representative Agreements, and engaging counsel or accountants in connection with the foregoing matters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shareholders’ Representative shall have full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Representative Agreements and to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof on behalf of all such Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties and such successors and assigns. The Shareholders’ Representative shall act as promptly as reasonably possible in carrying out his duties.

(b) Indemnification of Shareholders’ Representative. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be, and hereby is, indemnified and held harmless, jointly and severally, by the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties from all losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that may be incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative as a result of the Shareholders’ Representative’s performance of his duties under this Agreement and the Representative Agreements, provided that the Shareholders’ Representative shall not be entitled to indemnification for losses, costs or expenses that result from any action taken or omitted by the Shareholders’ Representative as a result of his willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(c) Reasonable Reliance. In the performance of his duties hereunder, the Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to rely upon any document or instrument reasonably believed by him to be genuine, accurate as to content and signed by any Shareholder and the Company Shareholder Party or the Purchaser. The Shareholders’ Representative may assume that any person purporting to give any notice in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(d) Attorney-in-Fact. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be hereby appointed and constituted by the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each Shareholder and Company Shareholder Party, with full power in his name and on his behalf to act according to the terms of this Agreement and the Representative Agreements in the absolute discretion of the Shareholders’ Representative; and in general to do all things and to perform all acts including, without limitation, executing and delivering the Escrow Agreement and any other agreements, certificates, receipts, instructions, notices or instruments contemplated by or deemed advisable in connection with the Escrow Agreement. This power of attorney and all authority conferred shall be granted and shall be

irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any Shareholder and Company Shareholder Party, by operation of law, whether by such Shareholder’s or Company Shareholder Party’s death, disability protective supervision, dissolution or any other event. Each Shareholder and Company Shareholder Party shall waive any and all defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Shareholders’ Representative taken in good faith. Notwithstanding the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 6.6, no agreement, instrument, acknowledgement or other act or document shall be ineffective by reason only of the Shareholders and the Company Shareholder Parties having signed or given such agreement, instrument, acknowledgement or other act or document directly instead of the Shareholders’ Representative.

(e) Orders. The Shareholders’ Representative is authorized, in his sole discretion, to comply with final, nonappealable orders or decisions issued or process entered by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator with respect to the Escrow Fund. If any portion of the Escrow Fund is disbursed to the Shareholders’ Representative and is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such event, the Shareholders’ Representative is authorized, in his sole discretion, but in good faith, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which he is advised by legal counsel selected by him is binding upon him without the need for appeal or other action; and if the Shareholders’ Representative complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, he shall not be liable to any Shareholder, Company Shareholder Party or to any other Person by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

(f) Cessation of Duties or Removal of Shareholders’ Representative; Authority of Successor Shareholders’ Representative. Shareholders who in the aggregate hold at least a majority of the Company Stock as of the Closing Date shall have the right at any time to (x) appoint a successor Shareholders’ Representative upon the resignation, disability or death of then-acting Shareholders’ Representative and (y) remove then-acting Shareholders’ Representative and appoint a successor Shareholders’ Representative; provided, however, that neither such removal of then-acting Shareholders’ Representative nor such appointment of a successor Shareholders’ Representative shall affect any previous decisions or actions of the Shareholders’ Representative being replaced, and further such appointment shall not be effective until the delivery to the Purchaser and, during the term of the Escrow Agreement, to the Escrow Agent of executed counterparts of a writing signed by each such Shareholder and Company Shareholder Party with respect to such removal and appointment, together with an acknowledgment signed by the successor Shareholders’ Representative appointed in such writing that he or she accepts the responsibility of successor Shareholders’ Representative and agrees to perform and be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Shareholders’ Representative. Each successor Shareholders’ Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Shareholders’ Representative, and the term “Shareholders’ Representative” as used herein and in the Escrow Agreement shall be deemed to include any interim or successor Shareholders’ Representative.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.12 hereof, each Party irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding against them arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or disputes relating hereto (whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise) shall be brought exclusively in Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, and hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the aforesaid courts in personam, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding, and each of the Parties waives any objection that it may have based on improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct of any such action or proceeding in any such court and waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consent to all such service of process made in the manner set forth in Section 7.2. Nothing contained in this Section 7.3(b) shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process on any other Party in any other manner permitted by law.

7.4. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Letter (and any amendments or supplements thereto) and the Exhibits hereto), the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement dated April 27, 2012 constitute the entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and

supersede all other prior agreements and understandings both written and oral between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Letter) may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Parties hereto.

7.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile, .pdf, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission and in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

7.6. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed or held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be considered divisible and inoperative as to such provision to the extent it is deemed to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, and in all other respects this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that if any provision of this Agreement is deemed or held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable there shall be added hereto automatically a provision as similar as possible to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision that is legal, valid and enforceable. Further, should any provision contained in this Agreement ever be reformed or rewritten by any judicial body of competent jurisdiction, such provision as so reformed or rewritten shall be binding upon all Parties hereto.

7.7. Descriptive Headings; Section References. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All references herein to Articles, Sections, subsections, paragraphs and clauses are references to Articles, Sections, subsections, paragraphs and clauses, respectively, of this Agreement unless specified otherwise.

7.8. Schedules. The Company Disclosure Letter and the Exhibits referenced in this Agreement are a material part hereof and shall be treated as if fully incorporated into the body of the Agreement.

7.9. Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity without the necessity of demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary damages.

7.11. Waiver. Each Party hereto may waive compliance by another Party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of any Party hereto to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument, in writing, signed by the such Party. The failure of any Party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

7.12. Dispute Resolution.

(a) It is understood and agreed between the Parties hereto that any and all claims, grievances, demands, controversies, causes of action or disputes of any nature whatsoever (including, but not limited to, tort and contract claims, and claims based upon any law, statute, order, or regulation) (“Disputes”), arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to (i) this Agreement, or (ii) questions of arbitrability under this Agreement, shall be resolved by final, binding, nonjudicial arbitration in accordance with the following procedures:

(b) Any Party may send another Party or Parties written notice identifying the matter in dispute and invoking the procedures of this Section (the “Dispute Notice”). Within fourteen (14) days from delivery of the Dispute Notice, each Party involved in the dispute shall meet at a mutually agreed location in Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx for the purpose of determining whether they can resolve the dispute themselves by written agreement, and, if not, whether they can agree upon an impartial third-party arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) to whom to submit the matter in dispute for final and binding arbitration.

(c) If such Parties fail to resolve the dispute by written agreement or agree on the Arbitrator within the later of fourteen (14) days from any such initial meeting or within thirty (30) days from the delivery of the Dispute Notice, any such Party may make written application to the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), in Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx for the appointment of a single Arbitrator to resolve the dispute by arbitration. At the request of JAMS the Parties involved in the dispute shall meet with JAMS at its offices within ten (10) calendar days of such request to discuss the dispute and the qualifications and experience which each Party respectively believes the Arbitrator should have; provided, however, that the selection of the Arbitrator shall be the exclusive decision of JAMS and shall be made within fifteen (15) calendar days of the written application to JAMS.

(d) Within fifteen (15) calendar days of the selection of the Arbitrator, the Parties involved in the dispute shall meet in Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx with such Arbitrator at a place and time designated by such Arbitrator after consultation with such Parties and present their respective positions on the dispute. Each Party shall have no longer than one calendar day to present its position, the entire proceedings before the Arbitrator shall be no more than three consecutive calendar days, and the decision of the Arbitrator shall be made in writing no more than thirty calendar days following the end of the proceeding. Such an award shall be a final and binding determination of the dispute (and thus not subject to appeal) and shall be fully enforceable as an arbitration decision in any court having jurisdiction and venue over such Parties. The prevailing Party or Parties (as determined by the Arbitrator) shall in addition be awarded by the Arbitrator such Party’s or Parties’ own legal fees and expenses in connection with such proceeding. The non-prevailing Party or Parties (as determined by the Arbitrator) shall pay the Arbitrator’s fees and expenses.

(e) By signing this Agreement, the Parties hereto are giving up their respective right to a jury trial.

7.13. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement.

7.14. Expenses. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be the sole responsibility of, and shall be paid by, the Party incurring such cost and expense.

7.15. Language/Langue.

7.16. Further Assurances. If any further action is necessary or desirable at any time after the Closing to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and to vest in the Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets, the Company, each Shareholder and each Company Shareholder Party shall take all such necessary or desirable actions. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company, each Shareholder and each Company Shareholder Party agrees to assist and cooperate with the Purchaser in collecting, transferring, assigning, asserting or enforcing any claim, right or title of any kind in or to the Acquired Assets, and to do all such acts and things in relation thereto as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.
