(ii) If the Buyer and Sellers are unable to resolve all the objections set forth in the Disagreement Notice within such 30-day period, they shall jointly appoint a major accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Sellers and the Buyer within five days of the end of such 30-day period (the “CPA Firm”). The CPA Firm, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, shall review the objections set forth in the Disagreement Notice that are not Resolved Objections (collectively, the “Differences”). The CPA Firm shall determine, based on the requirements set forth in this Section 2.5(c)(ii) and only with respect to Differences submitted to the CPA Firm, whether and to what extent the Updated Closing Statement requires adjustment so as to be calculated in accordance with this Agreement. The CPA Firm shall be instructed to make its determination within 15 days after its appointment. The fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be borne equally by Sellers and the Buyer. The Buyer and Sellers shall, and the Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to, provide to the CPA Firm full cooperation. The CPA Firm’s resolution of the Differences shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, except in the case of manifest error. The Differences as resolved by the CPA Firm in accordance with this Section 2.5(c)(ii) shall collectively be referred to herein as the “CPA-Determined Differences.” The Updated Closing Statement shall be adjusted to reflect any CPA-Determined Differences.

(d) To the extent that the Increased Net Seller Closing Payment or the Decreased Net Seller Payment, as applicable, set forth in the Updated Closing Statement (as adjusted in accordance with any Resolved Objections and CPA-Determined Differences) differs from the Estimated Closing Statement, the Estimated Net Seller Closing Payment initially made pursuant to Section 2.3(a) shall be recalculated by the parties in accordance with Sections 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) by using the Updated Closing Statement in lieu of the Estimated Closing Statement.

(e) On the fifth day following (or, if not a Business Day, on the next Business Day) the latest to occur of (x) the 30^th day following receipt by Sellers of the Updated Closing Statement, (y) the resolution by the Buyer and Sellers of all objections set forth in the Disagreement Notice, if any, and (z) the resolution by the CPA Firm of all Differences, if any, the recalculation required by Section 2.5(d) shall be made and the Buyer shall pay to Sellers the amount of any increase in the Estimated Net Seller Closing Payments beyond that received by Sellers at the Closing, or Sellers shall return to the Buyer the excess amount of the Estimated Net Seller Closing Payments initially received by Sellers at the Closing. Such payment shall be made (i) in the case of a payment to the Buyer, by Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the Buyer and (ii) in the case of a payment to Sellers, by the Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by Sellers.

3.25 Certain Investment Representations.

(a) Each Seller is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. Each such Seller will execute and deliver to the Buyer such documents as the Buyer may reasonably request in order to confirm the accuracy of the foregoing.

(b) Each Seller is acquiring the Buyer’s Common Stock for investment for the Seller’s own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution or other disposition thereof except as permitted by Law, including Securities Laws. Each Seller does not have any present intent to resell or distribute all or any part of the Buyer’s Common Stock.

(c) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that neither the Buyer, nor any of its stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates: (i) have provided Seller with an offering memorandum or prospectus (each as defined under applicable Securities Laws) or any similar document in connection with the issue of the Buyer’s Common Stock; (ii) have made any representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, to Seller or its agents in connection with the offer, purchase and/or sale of the Buyer’s Common Stock, except for the express written representations and warranties made by Buyer in Article 4 of this Agreement; or (iii) at any time had or will have any duty to Seller or its agents to disclose any information relating to the Buyer, its business or financial condition or relating to any other matters in connection with the offer, purchase and/or sale of the Buyer’s Common Stock.

(d) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Common Stock is characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Buyer in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Common Stock may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this respect, each Seller represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and otherwise by the Securities Act.

(e) Each Seller has been given the opportunity to obtain any information or documents, and to ask questions and receive answers about such documents, the Buyer and its Affiliates and the business and prospects of the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the transactions to be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), as the Seller deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the Buyer’s Common Stock and no representations concerning such matters or any other matters related to such investment have been made to the Seller except as set forth in this Agreement. Each Seller has consulted its own attorney, accountant or investment advisor with respect to the investment contemplated hereby and its suitability for the Seller, including the tax and other economic considerations related to the investment.

(f) Each Seller (i) understands and acknowledges that the Seller’s investment in the shares of Buyer’s Common Stock involves a high degree of risk; (ii) has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that the Seller is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the acquisition of the Buyer’s Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) understands and has taken cognizance of all risk factors related to the acquisition of the Buyer’s Common Stock; and (iv) is able to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Buyer’s Common Stock for an indefinite period of time and can afford to suffer a complete loss of the investment in the Buyer’s Common Stock.

(g) Each Seller has been informed that the offer of the Buyer’s Common Stock is being made pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act relating to transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, and that, consequently, the materials relating to the offer have not been subject to review and comment by the staff of the SEC or any other Governmental Agency.

(h) Each Seller acknowledges that it is not subscribing for the Buyer’s Common Stock as a result of, or subsequent to, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspapers, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a Person not previously known to the Seller in connection with investments in securities generally.

3.26 Restrictive Legend. Each Seller acknowledges that the Buyer’s Common Stock to be issued may not be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered or disposed of unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available and shall be subject to applicable stop transfer instructions provided by the Buyer to its transfer agent. Accordingly, the following restrictive legend will be placed on any instrument, certificate or other document evidencing the Common Stock:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE.

The books and records of Buyer and its Subsidiaries have been, since May 1, 2018, the beginning of the current fiscal year, and are being, maintained in all material respects in accordance with GAAP and any other applicable legal and accounting requirements. Buyer’s Auditors have not resigned (or informed Buyer that it intends to resign) or been dismissed as independent public accountants of Buyer as a result of or in connection with any disagreements with Buyer on a matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

(b) Except as would not reasonably be likely to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Buyer, neither Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due), except for those liabilities that are reflected or reserved against on the consolidated balance sheet of Buyer included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018 (including any notes thereto) and for liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business consistent with past practice since April 30, 2018, or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Article 6.

CLOSING

6.1 Closing. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with its express terms, the closing (the “Closing”) shall occur on or about November8, 2018 or such later date as the Parties may mutually agree, with the exact date being the third Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article 7 and 8 (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall occur electronically or through the mail or at a time and place that is mutually acceptable to the Parties. In the event that the Closing Date occurs on or after October 1, 2018, the parties agree that, for all purposes other than Sections 2.4(a), the Closing shall have deemed to have occurred as of October 1, 2018.

Specifically, for the purposes of the Estimated Closing Statement under Section 2.3, the calculation of the Estimated Prepaid Adjustment, the Estimated Working Capital, the Estimated Indebtedness and the Estimated Closing Cash on Hand shall be done as of September 30, 2018 (the “Cut-off Date”). For the purposes of calculating the Closing Stock Price, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred on the Closing Date and not the Cut-off Date. In the event that the Closing Date occurs after the record date for the next dividend on the Buyer Common Stock, the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount that Sellers would have received from such dividend had the Closing Date occurred prior to such record date; it is the intention of this provision that Sellers receive the benefit of the dividend as if Sellers owned the Buyer Common Stock to be received under this Agreement as of such record date.

Further, the Parties agree to settle up the net operating cash activity (excluding Transaction Expenses for the avoidance of doubt, such exclusion shall include Transaction Payments) from October 1, 2018 until the Closing Date between the Parties. Sellers will continue to operate the Acquired Companies with complete operational authority until the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Sellers shall receive all operating cash receipts and being responsible for all operating cash outlays up to Cut-off Date and Buyer shall receive operating cash receipts and being responsible for all operating cash outlays after that date. Sellers agree to operate the Acquired Companies in the Ordinary Course of Business under its existing management plan, with the Ordinary Course of Business to include paying all invoices, payrolls, taxes, benefits, etc. within term and pursuing cash receipts from all revenue sources, including season passes, Advantage Cards, Night Club Cards, seasonal lockers, seasonal lesson programs, hotel, paintball, golf, catered events, etc.

Sellers will prepare a financial report as of Cut-off Date documenting the financial condition of the Acquired Companies at that date. Sellers will also prepare a financial report documenting the net operating cash activity (excluding all Transaction Expenses for the avoidance of doubt, such exclusion shall include Transaction Payments) by taking operating cash receipts less operating cash outlays from October 1, 2018 through the Closing Date (the “Interim Period”). Such calculation will be completed within 10 business days of the Closing and shall be made available to Buyer as soon as it has been prepared. Buyer shall have access to the books and records of Sellers so as to be able to satisfy Buyer as to the accuracy of such financial report. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree as to the net operating cash activity for the Interim Period, any differences shall be resolved using the procedures set forth in Section 2.5. If operating cash receipts exceed the operating cash outlays during the Interim Period, the difference will be paid by Sellers to Buyer within 10 days following the calculation of the net cash operating activity. If operating cash outlays exceed operating cash receipts during the Interim Period, the difference will be payable by Buyer to Sellers within 10 days following the calculation of the net operating cash activity.

(c) Except as provided in Article 11 and except for fraud, from and after the Closing, the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article 10 are the exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees: (a) for any inaccuracy in any of the representations or any breach of any of the warranties or covenants contained herein or; (b) otherwise with respect to this Agreement, the Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and matters arising out of, relating to or resulting from the subject matter of this Agreement, whether based on statute, contract, tort, property or otherwise, and whether or not arising from the relevant Party’s sole, joint or concurrent negligence, strict liability or other fault.

(d) No claim for indemnification shall be subject to assertion and no Party shall have an obligation to indemnify a Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee (an “Indemnity”), as the case may be, for any loss or liability unless and until such Indemnity shall have incurred loss or liability in an aggregate amount in excess of $380,000 (the “Deductible) and then such indemnifying Party shall be liable only for such incurred loss or liability in excess of the Deductible.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the aggregate liability for which indemnification is provided by the Sellers under this Article 10 shall in no event exceed $7,600,000 in the aggregate (the “Seller Cap”).

(f) Sellers shall not be liable under this Article 10 for any loss, liability, cost or expense based upon or arising out of any breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of a Seller contained in this Agreement if Buyer had knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing.

10.5 Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a) Claims Procedure. An Indemnified Person shall give prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Person after the Indemnified Person first becomes aware of any event or other facts that has resulted or that might result in any Loss for which the Indemnified Person is entitled to any indemnification under this Agreement, and such notice shall contain (1) a detailed description and, if known, the estimated amount of any Loss incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Person together with such supporting documents reasonably available to such Indemnified Person, (2) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim Notice to the extent of the facts then known by the Indemnified Person and (3) a demand for payment of such Loss; provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any expense incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Person failed to give such notice). Any dispute regarding the Indemnified Person’s entitlement to indemnification in connection with a Claim Notice shall be resolved by any legally available means consistent with the provisions of Section 10.5(a) herein or as otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties.

(b) Third Party Claims.

(i) In order for an Indemnified Person to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person must provide the Indemnifying Person with a Claim Notice regarding the Third-Party Claim promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Person of written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any expense incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Person failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Person shall deliver to the Indemnifying Person, within five Business Days after the Indemnified Person’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court pleadings) received by the Indemnified Person relating to the Third-Party Claim together with such supporting documents reasonably available to such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Third-Party Claims with respect to Taxes shall be addressed in the manner set forth in Article 11 herein.

(ii) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Person. If the Third-Party Claim includes allegations for which the Indemnifying Person both would and would not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall in that case jointly assume the defense thereof. Should the Indemnifying Person so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnifying Person will not be liable to the Indemnified Person for legal fees and expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense thereof and, at its own expense, to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Person, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person, it being understood that the Indemnifying Person shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Person for any period during which the Indemnifying Person has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Person shall have failed to give notice of the Third-Party Claim as provided above). For the avoidance of doubt, all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Person shall be credited against and counted for the purpose of computing the remaining amount available under the Seller Cap for purposes of Section 10.4(e) , and, with respect to any Seller as the Indemnifying Person, such legal fees and expenses shall be paid from the Escrow Fund until so exhausted. If the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any Third-Party Claim, all the Parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Person’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Person of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making officers, directors, employees and agents of the Indemnified Person available on a mutually convenient basis to provide information, testimony at depositions, hearings or trials, and such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Person. Whether or not the Indemnifying Person shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall not admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Person’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Person shall not admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Person’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Indemnified Person shall agree to any admission of Liability, settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Person may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Person to pay the full amount of the Liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim and which releases the Indemnified Person completely in connection with such Third-Party Claim.

Article 11.

TAX MATTERS

11.1 Tax Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 11.2, from and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall jointly and severally (for purposes of this Article 11 only, the “Tax Indemnifying Party”), shall be responsible for, shall pay or cause to be paid, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and the Acquired Companies and reimburse Buyer and the Acquired Companies for the following Taxes, to the extent that such Taxes have not been paid as of the Closing Date: (i) all Taxes imposed on the Acquired Companies or Buyer as a result of the operations of the Acquired Companies with respect to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date; (ii) with respect to taxable years or periods beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, all Taxes imposed on the Acquired Companies or Buyer as a result of the operations of the Acquired Companies, which Taxes are allocable to the portion of such taxable year or period ending on the Closing Date (an “Interim Period”) (Interim Periods and any taxable years or periods that end on or prior to the Closing Date being referred to collectively hereinafter as “Pre-Closing Periods”); (iii) Taxes of any member of any affiliated group of corporations (as defined in Section 1504 of the Code) with which the Acquired Companies file or have filed a Tax Return on a consolidated, combined, affiliated, unitary or similar basis for a taxable year or period beginning before the Closing Date; (iv) Taxes or other costs of Buyer Indemnitees payable as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made in Section 3.16 of this Agreement or any breach of any covenant contained in this Article 11, without duplication; and (v) any Taxes or other payments required to be made after the Closing Date by the Acquired Companies to any Person under any Tax sharing, indemnity or allocation agreement or other arrangement in effect prior to the Closing, whether or not written, with respect to a Pre-Closing Period.

(b) For purposes of this Section 11.1(b), in order to apportion appropriately any Taxes relating to any taxable year or period that includes an Interim Period, the parties shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law, elect with the relevant Tax authority to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period of the Acquired Companies. The parties shall cooperate in making an election under Section 1377(a)(2) of the Code. In any case where applicable law does not permit the Acquired Companies to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period, then, in each such case, the portion of any Taxes that are allocable to the portion of the Interim Period ending on the Closing Date shall be: (i) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of Taxes not described in subparagraph (i) above that are imposed on a periodic basis, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Interim Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant period.

(c) All matters relating in any manner to Tax indemnification obligations and payments shall be governed exclusively by this Article 11.

11.2 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(a) Sellers shall prepare and file (i) all income Tax Returns with respect to the Acquired Companies for any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) all non-income Tax Returns with respect to the Acquired Companies for any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, but only to the extent such Tax Returns are required to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent, in all material respects, with the prior practice of the Acquired Companies including, without limitation, prior Tax elections and accounting methods or conventions made or utilized by the Acquired Companies, except as required by a change in the applicable Law or regulations.

(b) Buyer shall prepare and timely file or cause the Acquired Companies to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing Date other than Tax Returns described as the responsibility of Sellers in Section 11.2(a). All such Tax Returns with respect to Pre-Closing Periods shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent, in all material respects, with the prior practice of the Acquired Companies including, without limitation, prior Tax elections and accounting methods or conventions made or utilized by the Acquired Companies, except as required by a change in the applicable Law or regulations. Buyer shall deliver all such Tax Returns with respect to Pre-Closing Periods to Sellers for Sellers’ review at least 45 days prior to the due date, including extensions, of any such Tax Return. If Sellers dispute any item on such Tax Returns, they shall notify Buyer of such disputed item and the basis of the objection. The parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which the Tax Return is required to be filed. If the parties cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Sellers and Buyer.

(c) Sellers shall deliver to Buyer for its review any sales use, real property, transfer or other non-income Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies that are to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date at least 15 days prior to the due date, including extensions, of any such Tax Return or within 15 days after the date hereof, whichever is later, provided that any such Tax Return that is due within 15 days after the date hereof shall be delivered to Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event prior to the due date of such Tax Return. If Buyer disputes any item on a Tax Return delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall notify Sellers of such disputed item and the basis of the objection. The parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which the Tax Return is required to be filed. If the parties cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Sellers and Buyer. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Sellers and Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.2(c) shall prevent Sellers or the Acquired Companies from timely filing any Tax Returns that are due (including extensions) on or prior to the Closing Date.

11.3 Tax Cooperation.

(a) For a period of 7 years from and after the Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon written request, as promptly as practicable, such information including access to books and records and assistance relating to the Acquired Companies as is reasonably requested for the filing of any Tax Returns, for the preparation of any audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding related to any proposed assessment. Any information obtained under this Section 11.3(a) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding. After the expiration of such 7 year period, Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, may dispose of such information, books and records, provided that prior to such disposition, (i) Sellers shall give Buyer the opportunity, at Buyer’s expense, to take possession of such information, books and records held by Sellers; and (ii) Buyer shall give Sellers the opportunity, at Sellers’ expense, to take possession of such information, books and records held by the Acquired Companies.

(b) Buyer agrees that with respect to Pre-Closing Periods, it shall not, on or after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Sellers, amend any Tax Return, except as required by Law, or waive or extend any statute of limitations with respect to any such Tax Return to the extent such amendment or waiver would increase the Taxes of the Acquired Companies or Sellers for any Pre-Closing Period. With respect to Pre-Closing Periods, Sellers shall not, on or after the date hereof, without the prior written consent of Buyer, amend any Tax Return, except as required by Law, of the Acquired Companies or waive or extend the statute of limitations with respect to any such Tax Return, to the extent such amendment or waiver would increase the Taxes of the Acquired Companies or Buyer in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning on or-after the Closing Date.

11.4 Tax Audits.

(a) After the Closing, Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing of any demand or claim received by Buyer or any Acquired Company from any Tax authority or any other party (a “Tax Notice”) with respect to Taxes for which the Tax Indemnifying Party is liable pursuant to Section 11.1 within 10 days after Buyer’s receipt of such demand or claim; provided, however, failure to give such Tax Notice will not affect the rights of Buyer or the Acquired Companies to indemnification under Section 11.1 unless, or except to the extent that such failure precludes the Tax Indemnifying Parties from contesting such demand or claim. Such Tax Notice shall contain factual information describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Tax authority in respect of any such asserted Tax liability.

(b) Subject to the following sentence, Sellers may elect to control the conduct, through counsel chosen by Sellers and reasonably acceptable to Buyer and at Sellers’ expense, of any audit, claim for refund, or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted liability with respect to which indemnity may be sought under Section 11.1(a), including any contest in respect of an Interim Period (any such audit, claim for refund, or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability is referred to herein as a “Contest”). If Sellers elect to control a Contest, Sellers shall, within 30 days after receipt of the Tax Notice, notify Buyer in writing of its intent to do so; provided, however, Buyer and the Acquired Companies are authorized to file any motion, answer or other pleading that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect their interests during such 30 day period. If Sellers properly elect to control a Contest, then Sellers shall have all rights to settle, compromise and/or concede such asserted liability and Buyer shall cooperate and shall cause the Acquired Companies (and any of their successors) to cooperate in each phase of such Contest. If Sellers do not elect to control a Contest, Buyer or the Acquired Companies may, without affecting its or any other indemnified party’s rights to indemnification under this Article 11 assume and control the defense of such Contest with participation by the Sellers.

(c) In the event that a Contest involves an Interim Period (a “Straddle Contest”), the parties shall endeavor to cause the Contest proceeding to be separated into two or more separate proceedings, one of which shall involve exclusively the applicable Interim Period. In the event that such separation cannot, after diligent efforts, be achieved, Buyer and Sellers shall jointly control the Straddle Contest; provided, however, that, subject to this Section 11.4(c), Buyer shall have all rights to make decisions, settle, compromise and/or concede such asserted liability as it relates to the portion of the taxable period that begins after the Closing Date, and Sellers shall have all rights to settle, compromise and/or concede such asserted liability as it relates to the Interim Period.

(d) With respect to a Contest that is described in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, and which relates to a method of accounting, a recurring item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, Taxes other than income Taxes, franchise Taxes, and Transfer and Recording Taxes, Sellers’ ability to settle, compromise and/or concede any asserted liability shall be subject to Buyer’s consent, if Sellers’ proposed settlement, compromise or concession would adversely affect such Tax liability of an Acquired Company in a Post-Closing period; provided, however, if Buyer does not provide Sellers with such consent and Sellers pay to Buyer the amount Sellers were willing to pay the Taxing authority to settle the asserted Tax liability, Sellers shall be released by Buyer from all indemnification obligations thereto pursuant to Section 10.4 with respect to such Contest and Buyer shall assume control over the conduct of such Contest and shall have all rights if such Contest does not involve any issues for which Sellers remains liable under this Article 11 to make decisions, settle, compromise, and/or concede such asserted liability.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.4 to the contrary, neither the Buyer nor the Acquired Companies shall be required to permit Sellers to contest any claim; provided, however, that the Tax Indemnifying Parties shall have no obligation to pay, indemnify or reimburse Buyer or the Acquired Companies for any amounts that Buyer or the Acquired Companies pay without the prior approval of Sellers, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if the related indemnification obligation does not have a material economic impact on Sellers or the Indemnifying Parties with respect to a claim Sellers timely elect to contest but is not permitted to contest under this Section 11.4(e).

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.4(f) to the contrary, Sellers shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, compromise or concede any asserted liability unless Sellers have: (i) paid or otherwise satisfied the asserted liability on or prior to the date of such settlement, compromise or concession, or (ii) obtained, as an unconditional term of such settlement, compromise or concession, an unconditional release, issued by the applicable taxing authority in favor of the Acquired Companies, for all responsibility in respect of the asserted liability.

11.5 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payment. The parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all tax purposes.

11.6 Tax Benefits Associated with Transaction Expenses. The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the Tax deductions associated with the Transaction Expenses shall be for the sole benefit of the Sellers and shall be allocated to (and deemed to have been incurred in) the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Periods ending on the day before the Closing Date or portions of the applicable Straddle Tax Periods ending on the Closing Date, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable Law and that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers shall be entitled to any tax benefits of each such Tax deduction.

Article 12.

TERMINATION

12.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the written mutual consent of the parties;

(b) upon written notice by (i) any Party, if any court of competent jurisdiction or any other Governmental Agency shall have issued a Judgment or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) such Judgment or other action shall have become final and non-appealable;

(c) upon written notice at any time on or after November 30, 2018 (the “Termination Date”) by any Party if the Closing has not occurred by the Termination Date; provided, however, that (i) if Sellers are seeking termination, then the Sellers may not be in breach in any material respect of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or (ii) if Buyer is seeking termination, then Buyer may not be in breach in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; and provided further, however, Sellers may elect to extend the date of the Termination Date by up to 60 additional days if the condition set forth in Section 5.1 shall have not been satisfied and the parties shall have received a “second request” or the equivalent from the applicable Governmental Authorities;

(d) upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder (which breach continues by such Party for 30 days after written notice thereof to such Party); provided, however, that if such other Party is Buyer, it shall not be entitled to such 30 day period if it is in default of its obligation to pay the Purchase Price to the Sellers on the Closing Date as provided herein; and provided, further, that (i) if Sellers are seeking termination, then Sellers may not be in breach in any material respect of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or (ii) if Buyer is seeking termination, then Buyer may not be in breach in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

12.2 Other Agreements; Material To Be Returned.

(a) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.1, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents shall be terminated, without further action by any Party, and the Parties shall immediately enter into, or cause their relevant Affiliates to enter into, written consents to terminate each of the Related Documents that have become effective prior to the date of such termination.

(b) Furthermore, in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.1, Buyer shall return or destroy all nonpublic information regarding the Companies in accordance with the terms of the NDA.

12.3 Effect of Termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate and become void and of no further effect and there shall be no liability of any Party to any other Party except: (a) the obligations with respect to confidentiality and publicity contained in Section 5.7 hereof, (b) all obligations set forth in the NDA; provided, however, that no Party shall be relieved from liabilities arising out of any breach of its representations and warranties, or for any breach of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement. Specifically, in the event of termination of this Agreement, other than as a result of a breach by Sellers of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement, Buyer shall be responsible to the Sellers for a fee equal to the $650,000 (the “Termination Fee”) as Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) termination of this Agreement by Buyer under Section 5.5 shall not be deemed to be a breach by Buyer and (y) the inability of Buyer to obtain the financing necessary for the Transactions shall entitle Sellers to the Termination Fee.

Article 13.

This power of attorney is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, and shall survive the Closing and death, disability, legal incapacity, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, or cessation of existence of any Seller. This power of attorney may be exercised by the Sellers’ Representative by listing the Seller executing any Transaction Document with the single signature of the Sellers’ Representative acting as attorney-in-fact for such Seller. The Sellers’ Representative shall have no Liability to the Buyer, any of the Acquired Companies or the Sellers, or any of the respective Affiliates or Representatives of the Buyer, the Acquired Companies or the Sellers, arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken in his capacity as Sellers’ Representative or otherwise on behalf of the Sellers, except with respect to any Liability resulting from the Sellers’ Representative’s willful misconduct. Each Seller hereby forever releases and discharges the Sellers’ Representative from any and all Liability which may arise out of or result from any action taken or omitted to be taken in his capacity as Sellers’ Representative or otherwise on behalf of the Sellers, except with respect to any Liability resulting from the willful misconduct of the Sellers’ Representative.

(b) Each Party shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any communication given or other action taken by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(c) The Sellers may remove or replace the Representative upon written consent by a majority-in-interest of the holders of the Company’s capital stock immediately prior to Closing upon not less than ten (10) business days’ prior written notice to Buyer.
