Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no investigation by the Buyer, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees or agents shall in any way affect or otherwise diminish the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller and the Shareholders hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the rights of Buyer, the Seller, the Shareholders and/or their respective affiliates to indemnification, reimbursement or any other remedy based upon any representations, warranties, covenants and obligations set forth in the Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation

Each of these representations, warranties, covenants and/or obligations are meant as contractual rights of Buyer and the Seller.

b. Representations and Warranties.

ii. Buyer. As Seller’s and the Shareholders’ exclusive remedies for claims in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (other than in connection with fraud), subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and Shareholders (collectively called the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) from, against, for and in respect of:

(a) Any and all and damages, losses, obligations, liabilities, claims, actions or causes of action, encumbrances, costs, and expenses suffered, incurred or required to be paid (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether a contractual, tax or any other type of

d. Claim Assertion.

i. It is the intention of the parties that they not spend administrative time and money after Closing in resolving claims that they may have against each

2.1

other hereunder for fulfillment of their agreements under this Agreement or for breach of any of their representations or warranties as herein set forth, if the aggregate amount of such claims is less than $50,000. Consequently, (A) unless the amounts due to Buyer from Seller and/or any Shareholder with respect to (i) breach of any representation or warranty or other agreement of Seller or Shareholder herein contained, or (ii) their indemnification of Buyer relating to the assertion against Buyer of any Excluded Liability, is $50,000 or more in the aggregate they shall not be recoverable and if such amounts are greater than $50,000, then Seller and Shareholders shall have liability only for the amount which exceeds $50,000; and (B) unless the amounts due to Seller and/or any Shareholder from Buyer with respect to breach of any representation or warranty or other agreement of Buyer herein contained is $50,000 or more in the aggregate they shall not be recoverable and if such amounts are greater than $50,000, then Buyer shall have liability only for the amount which exceeds $50,000. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, no party shall have any liability or obligation to indemnify any other party for any claims, individually or in aggregate, exceeding $4,000,000. The foregoing limitations set forth in this paragraph, however, shall not apply to claims relating to the Employment Agreement with Trey and the consulting agreement with Xxx, the provisions herein set forth in Section 10, Section 11, Section 12(b), the provisions herein set forth in Section 8 regarding Receivables, Seller’s liability to Buyer with respect to those particular Excluded Liabilities set forth in Sections 2(b)(i), 2(b)(ii), and 2(b)(xi) and the Reimbursable Equipment Liabilities, the claim set forth in Schedule 4(r), and Seller’s liability to Buyer with respect to warranty or return policies not assumed by Buyer pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii), and Buyer may recover a claim against Seller or Shareholder with respect to any of such items even if the aggregate of all claims is less than $50,000. Notwithstanding that multiple subsections of Section 9(c) may apply to a claim, no indemnified person shall be entitled to more than one recovery thereunder.

ii. If the Closing occurs, Seller and Shareholders will have liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any breach of (i) a covenant or obligation to be performed or complied with prior to the Closing Date or (ii) a representation or warranty, only if on or before that date one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the Indemnification Period, Buyer notifies Seller or Shareholders of Buyer’s claim thereof specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer.

iii. If the Closing occurs, Buyer will have liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any breach of (i) a covenant or obligation to be performed or complied with or (ii) a representation or warranty, only if on or before that date one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the Indemnification Period, Seller notifies Buyer of Seller or Shareholder’s claim thereof specifying the

2.1

factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller or Shareholders.

e. Right of Set-Off. If any indemnified person has given notice of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9, and such claim has been finally determined but is unpaid prior to the time scheduled for any payments by the indemnified person to any indemnifying person(s) pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to the Annual Bonus provisions (Section 2.02) of the Employment Agreement (such amounts of payment pursuant to such provisions of the Employment Agreement, the “Annual Bonus”), to the extent such claim is unpaid for a period of 10 Business Days, the indemnified persons shall have the right to set off and otherwise apply the amount of such finally determined claim against the amount of the payments to be made by the indemnified person to such indemnifying person(s), including, without limitation, the application of all or part of the full amount of such finally determined claim against Trey’s Annual Bonus under the Employment Agreement. If Buyer has given notice of a bona fide claim for indemnification hereunder and such claim has not been finally determined prior to the time scheduled for any such payment, Buyer shall have the right, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to withhold from the Annual Bonus otherwise due all or part of the amount (or, if the amount is not certain, a reasonable and good faith estimate of the amount) of such bona fide indemnification claim as set forth in such notice of claim. Following the final determination of such indemnification claim, Buyer shall (i) retain all or a portion of the amount so withheld, to the extent the final determination of such claim is in favor of the Buyer, and (ii) distribute the remainder, if any, to Trey, within 10 days after the date of such final determination. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) use of the foregoing setoffs, whether in whole or in part or otherwise, shall be at Buyer’s sole option and (ii) Buyer shall be entitled to set off 100% of the Annual Bonus pursuant to this Section 9(e) notwithstanding that such remedy may result in Trey bearing a larger portion of the indemnification responsibility than other Shareholders. Trey acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any inconsistency between this Section 9(e) and the Employment Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day Monday through Friday, except for federal holidays.

f. Remedies Cumulative. Except as herein expressly provided, the remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any party hereto of any other right or the seeking of any other remedies against any other party hereto.

g. Damage Limitation. NEITHER THE BUYER, NOR THE SELLER NOR THE SHAREHOLDERS MAY RECOVER PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SECTION 9(g) SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH SECTIONS 4(b), 4(d), 4(f)-(i), 4(k), 4(p)-(w), 4(z)-(dd), 5(a), 5(b), or 5(d) OF THIS

2.1

AGREEMENT. Neither the Buyer, Seller or Shareholders shall be obligated to indemnify another party for any amount to the extent that party recovers such amount from a third party under any insurance policy, indemnity agreement or other agreement and each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights under any such insurance policy, indemnity agreement or other agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit the obligations at law of an indemnified person to mitigate any damages it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by an indemnifying party or the breach or nonperformance of any covenant by an indemnifying party.

10. Non‑Competition and Non-Solicitation Provisions. For no additional consideration other than to induce the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller, Xxx and Xxxxx jointly and severally agree that they will not, except with Buyer’s written consent:

2.1

otherwise deal with any such customer or supplier for such purpose or authorize or knowingly cooperate with the taking of any such actions by any other individual or entity.

v. Directly or indirectly (whether or not for compensation or profit) through any other individual or entity call upon, solicit, entice, persuade or induce any individual which presently is a customer or supplier of Seller to terminate, reduce, not enter into, or refrain from renewing or extending with the Buyer its contractual or other relationship that such customer, or supplier had with the Seller and shall not approach, respond to, or otherwise deal with any such customer or supplier for such purpose or authorize or knowingly cooperate with the taking of any such actions by any other individual or entity.

vi. Take no action, formal or informal, direct or indirect, to (a) solicit the employment of or hire any employees while such person is, or was within the twenty four (24) month period prior to his or her solicitation of employment, an employee of Buyer or one of its Affiliates, other than through general advertising not specifically directed at such Employees, or (b) solicit, entice, induce or encourage any employees or any other employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Buyer to terminate his, her or its relationship with the Buyer in order to become an employee of, or a consultant or independent contractor to, a person other than Buyer.

c. Seller and each of the Shareholders acknowledge that by entering into this Agreement or their respective employment agreements with Buyer, as applicable, the restrictions contained in this Section 10 or their respective employment or consulting agreements, as applicable, will not cause them any undue harm and they are reasonable and necessary in order to protect the Buyer’s legitimate interest and that any violation thereof will result in irreparable injury to the Buyer which cannot be adequately compensated by money damages. By reason of this, Seller and each of the Shareholders acknowledge that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy it may have at law, to the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief for breach by the Seller and the Shareholders, or any one of them, of the provisions of this Section 10 or their respective employment or consulting agreements, as applicable. This Section 10(c) or their respective employment or consulting agreements, as applicable, shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of any of the rights which the Buyer may have for damages, or otherwise.

d. Each of the terms, provisions and restrictions of this Section 10, including without limitation, Sections 10(b)(i)-(iii), is and is deemed to be severable, in whole or in part, and if any term, provision or restriction or the application thereof in any circumstances should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining terms, provisions and restrictions or the application thereof to circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

g.

Any non-competition and/or non-solicitation covenants, restrictions and obligations related to Trey are governed solely by the Employment Agreement and Section 10(d). However, any breach by Trey of the non-competition and/or non-solicitation covenants, restrictions and obligations in the Employment Agreement shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement.

11. Confidentiality. The Buyer, Seller and the Shareholders acknowledge that the terms, provisions and covenants of the Mutual Non Disclosure Agreement (“NDA”), attached as Exhibit D (as if all information concerning the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, this Agreement and all of the transactions contemplated hereby were confidentially provided pursuant to the NDA and as if each of the Seller and the Shareholders were party thereto), shall remain in full force and effect for a period of three years from the date of the NDA, provided however, that as this Section 11 applies to Trey, the NDA shall remain in full force and effect for no longer than the period of time described in the Employment Agreement.
