In the event that any of the Purchased Assets is not conveyed, transferred and
assigned to the Buying Parties at Closing because the parties agree to close without a required consent or waiver and to postpone the conveyance, transfer or assignment rather than forego such consent or waiver (such Purchased Assets, the “Deferred Assets”), then the legal interest in the Deferred Assets shall not be conveyed, transferred and assigned unless and until such consent or waiver is obtained. The Seller and Buyer shall be jointly responsible for and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents or waivers as may be necessary to complete such transfers as soon as practicable following the Closing and to fully consummate such transfers of the Deferred Assets; except that no party shall be required to pay any third party out-of-pockets costs in connection with its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of third parties in connection with the transfer of any Deferred Asset.

from them of their requirements and reaching agreement as to mutually convenient times for review.
Section 5.2. Covenants Not to Compete.
(a) Non-Competition. For the applicable Restriction Period (as that term is defined below), subject to Section 5.2(b) hereof, Seller shall comply with the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.2 and shall cause the Indian Seller and all other Affiliates of Seller (collectively with Seller, the “Seller Subject Parties”), to comply with the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.2. During the Restriction Period, the Seller Subject Parties shall not, directly or through any other Person acting at the direction or on behalf of any such party anywhere in the world (the “Territory”) engage in the Restricted Business in any manner or capacity (e.g., as an advisor, principal, agent, partner, member, officer, director, shareholder, employee, member of any association, or otherwise) (the “Competitive Activities”). The Seller Subject Parties shall not own, participate in the ownership of, lend money, guarantee loans, make gifts of money or other property, or otherwise lend financial or other assistance in any form to any Person engaged in, or will within the Restriction Period engage in, any of the Competitive Activities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 5.2 shall not, and is not intended to, prohibit, limit or otherwise interfere with the Selling Parties’ (or their Affiliates’) activities and business (i) conducted as of the Closing Date (other than with respect to the Business), including any activities and business conducted with the Selling Parties (or their Affiliates’) customers, suppliers, vendors, partners, resellers or other distributors (including the customers, suppliers, vendors, partners, resellers or other distributors of the Business, to the extent of activities and business unrelated to the Business), so long as the same does not include marketing, selling, licensing, reselling or providing any products or services included within the definition of “Restricted Business,” and (ii) as a reseller of Buyer or its Affiliate’s for TEM solutions under the Referral Agreement, or other activities or business contemplated under the MSA.
(b) Limitation on Covenant. Ownership by the Seller Subject Parties, whether directly or indirectly, as a passive investment, of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities of any Person listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.2.
(c) Non-Solicitation of Customers. In addition to the more general restrictions set forth above, during the Restriction Period, the Seller Subject Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, either on such parties’ own account or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other Person, firm or company, solicit any Person, firm or company who was a customer or client of the Business as of or at any time during the one (1) year period prior to Closing, each as identified on Schedule 3.13(c) attached hereto, for business which is comprised of the sale, license or provision of any products or services included within the definition of “Restricted Business” (the “Subject Customers”). For avoidance doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.2(c) shall not, and is not intended to, prohibit, limit or otherwise interfere with the Selling Parties’ (or their Affiliates’) activities and business with or for any of the Subject Customers so long as such activities or business does not include marketing, selling, licensing, reselling or providing any products or services included within the definition of “Restricted Business.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any activity and business currently conducted by the Selling Parties’ or any of their Affiliates with or for any Subject Customer as of the Closing Date (other than
activity or business comprising the sale, license or provision of any products or services included within the definition of “Restricted Business”) is in no way limited by the provisions of this Section 5.2(c) and is expressly permitted for all purposes hereunder whether during the Restriction Period or thereafter.
(d) Non-Solicitation and No-Hire of Employees. During the Restriction Period, no Seller Subject Party shall, either on such Person’s own account or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other Person, firm or company, employ, solicit, entice away or attempt to employ, solicit or entice away from either Buying Party or any known Affiliate of the Buying Parties any Buyer Business Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.2(d) shall not be deemed to have been breached or violated by the hiring, inducement or solicitation of any Person who is not an employee of the Buying Parties or their known Affiliates at the time of the inducement or solicitation.
(e) Confidentiality. For a period of five (5) years following the Closing, no Seller Subject Party shall make use of or disclose or divulge to any Person (other than to officers or employees of Buying Parties) any information (other than any information generally available to the public or disclosed or divulged pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction) relating to the Business, the identity of the customers and suppliers of the Business, or the products, finances, contractual arrangements, business or methods of business of the Business and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable endeavors to prevent the publication or disclosure of any such information. Seller acknowledges that the Purchased Assets include trade secrets which the Buying Parties have purchased and which the Seller Subject Parties are restricted from using or disclosing. If, in connection with the Business or the Purchased Assets, the Seller Subject Parties shall have obtained trade secrets or other confidential information belonging to any third party under an agreement which contained restrictions on disclosure, then the Seller Subject Parties will not at any time infringe such restrictions.
(f) Injunctive Relief. Seller acknowledges that any violation of any provision of this Section 5.2 may cause irreparable harm to Buyer, that damages for such harm will be incapable of precise measurement and that, as a result, Buyer may not have an adequate remedy at law to redress the harm caused by such violations. Therefore, in the event of a violation of Section 5.2 by any Seller Subject Party, Seller agrees that, in addition to its other remedies, Buyer shall be entitled, without the necessity of either proof of actual damage or the posting of a bond, to seek injunctive relief, including but not limited to an immediate temporary injunction, temporary restraining order and/or preliminary or permanent injunction to restrain or enjoin any such violation.
(g) Severability. The parties understand and agree that the covenant set forth in this Section 5.2 shall be construed as a series of separate covenants not to compete, one covenant for each country, state and province within the Territory, one for each separate line of the Competitive Activities, and one for each month of the Restriction Period. Should any clause, portion or paragraph of this Section 5.2 be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remainder of this Section 5.2. Should any particular covenant or restriction, including but not limited to the covenants and restrictions of Section 5.2(a), 5.2(c), 5.2(d) and 5.2(e), be held to be unreasonable or unenforceable for any reason, including without limitation the time period, geographical area
and scope of activity covered by such covenant, then a court may modify any such covenant or restriction in order to give it effect and allow it to be enforced to the greatest extent that would be reasonable and enforceable.
(h) Acknowledgment. Seller acknowledges that this covenant not to compete is a mandatory condition precedent to the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, in the absence of the preceding covenant not to compete, Buyer would not have consented to the Closing.
(i) Restriction Period. The “Restriction Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date.
Section 5.3. Passage of Title and Risk of Loss. Beneficial title and risk of loss with respect to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities shall pass to the Buying Parties at the Closing, regardless of when legal or equitable title thereto, or possession thereof, shall be transferred to the Buying Parties.
Section 5.4. Transfer of Goodwill and Business. From and after the Closing Date, each of the parties shall, when requested to do so by the other party, provide reasonable good faith assistance to effectuate a smooth transfer of the Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to the Buying Parties.
Section 5.5. Expenses; Transfer Taxes. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any sales, use, VAT, conveyance, stamp, transfer and related and/or similar Taxes which become payable as a result of the conveyance and transfer from the Selling Parties to the Buying Parties of the Purchased Assets and any other transfer or documentary Taxes or any filing or recording fees applicable to such conveyance and transfer (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer (or as applicable, fifty percent (50%) by Indian Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Indian Buyer). The party required by applicable law to file Returns required in connection with Transfer Taxes shall file such Returns and, subject to receipt of payment from the other party of the amount of Transfer Taxes for which such other party is liable pursuant to this Section 5.5, shall pay the amount of Transfer Taxes due with such Returns. Each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of such Transfer Taxes and to cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all Returns and other documents required in connection with such Transfer Taxes.
Section 5.6. Tax Information. Buyer and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon reasonable written request, as promptly as reasonably practicable, such information and assistance to the extent relating to the Purchased Assets in its possession, including, without limitation, access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Returns by the Buying Parties or the Selling Parties or their Affiliates, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax that relates to the Purchased Assets or the Business. Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate fully with each other (and shall cause the Indian Buyer and the Indian Seller and their other Affiliates, as
applicable, to reasonably cooperate fully) in the conduct of any audit, litigation or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Purchased Assets, at the expense of the party who is the subject of the audit, litigation or other proceeding and who is requesting cooperation, provided that in the event that such expenses would otherwise be subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such indemnification shall be given effect.
Section 5.7. Employment Matters.
(a) Seller shall, and shall cause the Indian Seller and Seller’s other Affiliates, to cooperate with the Buying Parties in their efforts to hire the Business Employees, effective as of the Closing (or, in the case of Business Employees whose employment remains subject to certain visa restrictions, following the Closing), for purposes of carrying on the Business post-Closing (any such Business Employee who becomes an employee of the Buying Parties or their Affiliate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, the “Buyer Business Employees”).
(b) Buyer shall, before the Closing, extend offers for employment of comparable compensation terms with Buyer, the Indian Buyer or their Affiliate to all of the Business Employees, with employment commencing effective as of the Closing (or, in the case of Business Employees whose employment remains subject to certain visa restrictions, as soon as feasible following the Closing); except that, with respect to the Business Employees located in India, the Indian Buyer or its Affiliate shall extend offers of employment of comparable compensation terms with the Indian Buyer or its Affiliate to all such Business Employees located in India (no later than five (5) days prior to the date of the Indian Closing), with employment commencing effective as of the Indian Closing. The Buyer Business Employees shall be eligible to participate in Buyer’s employee benefit plans on the same basis as similarly situated employees of the Buyer, the Indian Buyer of their Affiliate, for which such employees are eligible (the “Buyer Benefit Plans”). The Buyer shall recognize the prior service with Seller, the Indian Seller or their Affiliates of each of the Buyer Business Employees (other than Buyer Business Employees located in India) for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant (including, but not limited to, for purposes of vacation, sick and paid time-off accrual and severance benefits) under Buyer Benefit Plans. Buyer shall waive all limitations as to preexisting condition exclusions (or actively at work or similar limitations), evidence of insurability requirements and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Buyer Business Employees under any medical, dental and vision plans that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Closing Date, unless the same is not permitted by an insurer or other provider under the terms of any such plan. Buyer shall also provide the Buyer Business Employees and their eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments, deductibles and offsets (or similar payments) made under Seller’s employee benefit plans for the year in which the Closing Date occurs under Buyer’s medical, dental and vision plans for the purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible, out-of-pocket, or similar requirements under such Buyer Benefit Plans in the year in which the Closing Date occurs, in the amounts specified by Seller in a writing provided to Buyer at Closing.
(c) Seller and Buyer agree that Selling Parties (or their applicable Affiliates) shall remain responsible to furnish 2012 Forms W-2 to the Buyer Business Employees and 2012 Forms W-2 and W-3 with respect to the Buyer Business Employees to the Social Security Administration with respect to all periods through Closing.
(d) Seller shall pay, and will cause the Indian Seller or their Affiliates to pay, all compensation or other money due to the Buyer Business Employees with respect to their
employment and resignation of employment with Seller, the Indian Seller or such other Affiliates through and including day that is one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, including, in any event, any sale bonuses, severance, change in control benefits, other bonuses (including variable pay in India), commissions, payments of gratuity as required by law and all other amounts required to be paid to such employees pursuant to applicable law, agreements, policies or awards of Seller, the Indian Seller or their Affiliates through one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Indian Purchase Agreement, provided that if Buyer’s failure to comply with its covenants set forth in this Section 5.7 results in any such compensation or other money coming due, then Buyer shall pay the same.

Section 6.2. Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the terms of this Agreement (including the limitations in this Article 6), Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Indian Buyer and their Affiliates (the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) against and in respect of any Losses which arise out of or result from:
(a) any breach by Seller or the Indian Seller of any representation or warranty made herein or in the Indian Purchase Agreement;
(b) any breach by Seller or the Indian Seller of any covenant of Seller or the Indian Seller in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and Article 5 of this Agreement, Article 5 of the Indian Purchase Agreement, or the Earn-Out Agreement; and
(c) any Excluded Liability; except that for purposes of the Excluded Liability identified in sub-section (vi) of such defined term, the indemnification obligation shall be limited to third party claims asserted against a Buyer Indemnified Person.
Section 6.3. Indemnification by Buyer.

Section 6.4. Procedures; No Waiver; Exclusivity. All claims for indemnification by a party pursuant to this Article 6 in connection with an action, suit or proceeding shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The party entitled to indemnification under this Article 6 (the “Indemnified Person”) shall give prompt written notification to the Person obligated to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Person”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 may be sought; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Person in notifying the Indemnifying Person shall relieve the Indemnifying Person from any liability or obligation under this Article 6 except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such delay. Within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Person may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Person, assume control of the defense of such action, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, provided (i) the Indemnifying Person acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Person that the Indemnifying Person shall indemnify the Indemnified Person with respect to such third party claim that may be assessed against the Indemnified Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and (ii) the third party seeks monetary damages only. If the Indemnifying Person does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Person shall control such defense.

Indemnified Person shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. An Indemnified Person shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Person shall not agree to any settlement or the entry of a judgment in any action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that it is reasonable to withhold such consent if, among other things, the settlement or the entry of a judgment (A) lacks a complete release of the Indemnified Person for all liability with respect thereto or (B) imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Person other than the payment of money in an amount less than or equal to the Cap).

All representations and warranties made by Seller and Buyer herein, and made by the Indian Seller or the Indian Buyer in the Indian Purchase Agreement, shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 4.1 and 4.2 (the “Fundamental Representations”), shall survive the Closing for a period of three (3) years, and the representations and warranties set forth in set forth in Sections 3.17(b) and 3.18 (the “Statutory Representations”) shall survive the Closing until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to this Agreement, the following “caps” shall limit the Seller’s indemnity obligations, and:
(i) Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Persons for indemnifiable Losses based upon a breach of a representation set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement or Article 3 of the Indian Purchase Agreement, that is neither a Fundamental Representation or a Statutory Representation, pursuant to Section 6.2(a) hereof in excess of $5,000,000, less the amount of any other indemnifiable Losses paid or payable by Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Persons hereunder, regardless of the basis of the claim for any such indemnifiable Losses;
(ii) Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Persons for indemnifiable Losses based upon a breach of any Fundamental Representation pursuant to Section 6.2(a) in excess of (A) the aggregate amount of the U.S. Purchase Price and the Indian Purchase Price actually received by Seller and Indian Seller, after application of any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3 and 2.4 hereto (the “Actual Purchase Price”), less (B) the amount of any other indemnifiable Losses paid or payable by Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Persons hereunder, regardless of the basis of the claim for any such indemnifiable Losses;

For purposes of the application of Section 6.6(b) above, Losses that are not recoverable due to the limitation set forth in such clause as applied prior to payment in full of the Deferred Cash Consideration and any Earn-Out, shall be held in abeyance and shall become payable when and if the Deferred Cash Consideration and Earn-Out are paid (or would have been paid but for set-off of such Losses). For illustration purposes only and by way of examples:
Example: If a Buyer Indemnified Person first prevails on a claim for indemnifiable Losses in the amount of $3,200,000 based upon a breach of a Statutory Representative and subsequently prevails on a claim for indemnifiable Losses in the amount of
$5,000,000 based upon breach of a representation that is neither a Fundamental Representation nor a Statutory Representation, then Losses in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 would be recoverable, and $1,800,000 would not be recoverable.
Example: If a Buyer Indemnified Person first prevails on a claim for indemnifiable Losses in the amount of $8,200,000 based upon a breach of a Statutory Representative and subsequently prevails on a claim for indemnifiable Losses in the amount of $5,000,000 based upon the indemnification obligation under Section 6.2(c), then Losses in an aggregate amount of $10,250,000 would be recoverable, and $2,950,000 would not be recoverable.

Example: If a Buyer Indemnified Person first prevails on a claim for indemnifiable Losses in the amount of $11,000,000 based upon the indemnification obligation under Section 6.2(c), and subsequently prevails on a claim for indemnifiable Losses in the amount of $30,000,000 based upon a breach of a Fundamental Representation, then Losses in an aggregate amount of $10,250,000 of the first claim and $30,000,000 of the subsequent claim would be recoverable, and $750,000 of the first claim would not be recoverable (assuming the Actual Purchase Price is $41,000,000).
Example: If a Buyer Indemnified Person first prevails on a claim for indemnifiable Losses in the amount of $5,000,000 based upon a breach of a representation that is neither a Fundamental Representation nor a Statutory Representation, and second prevails on a claim for indemnifiable Losses in the amount of $10,250,000 under Section 6.2(c), and prevails on a claim for indemnifiable Losses in the amount of $35,000,000 based upon a breach of a Fundamental Representation, then Losses in a cumulative amount of $41,000,000 would be recoverable, and Losses in the amount of $9,250,000 would not be recoverable.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision to this Agreement, the following “caps” shall limit the Buyer’s indemnity obligations, and:
(i) Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Persons for indemnifiable Losses based upon a breach of a representation set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement or Article 4 of the Indian Purchase Agreement, other than a breach of a Fundamental Representation, pursuant to Section 6.3(a) hereof in excess of $5,000,000, less the amount of any other indemnifiable Losses paid or payable by Buyer to any Seller Indemnified Persons hereunder, regardless of the basis of the claim for any such indemnifiable Losses;
(ii) Buyer shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Persons for indemnifiable Losses based upon a breach of any Fundamental Representation pursuant
to Section 6.3(a) in excess of the Actual Purchase Price, less the amount of any other indemnifiable Losses paid or payable by Buyer to any Seller Indemnified Persons hereunder, regardless of the basis of the claim for any such indemnifiable Losses;
(iii) Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Persons for indemnifiable Losses based upon a breach of a covenant pursuant to Section 6.3(b) in excess of the Actual Purchase Price, less the amount of any other indemnifiable Losses paid or payable by Buyer to any Seller Indemnified Persons, regardless of the basis of the claim for any such indemnifiable Losses; and
(iv) Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Persons for indemnifiable Losses in connection with any Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 6.3(c) in excess of $10,250,000, less the amount of any other indemnifiable Losses paid by Buyer to any Seller Indemnified Persons hereunder, regardless of the basis of the claim for any such indemnifiable Losses.
For purposes of the application of clause (ii) above, Losses that are not recoverable due to the limitation set forth in such clause as applied prior to payment in full of the Deferred Cash Consideration and any Earn-Out, shall be held in abeyance and shall become payable when and if the Deferred Cash Consideration and Earn-Out are paid (or would have been paid but for set-off of such Losses). The provisions of this Section 6.6(b) shall be applied in a manner consistent with the illustrations set forth above in Section 6.6(a).
(d) The parties shall cooperate with each other to resolve any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to address any claims or liabilities that may provide a basis for an indemnifiable claim such that each party shall respond to any claims or liabilities in the same manner it would respond to such claims or liabilities in the absence of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(e) Recovery for any indemnifiable Loss shall be net of any (i) insurance proceeds actually received in connection with the circumstances giving rise to the Loss (regardless of when such proceeds are received), and (ii) recoveries from third parties pursuant to indemnification or otherwise. For purposes of Section 6.6(d)(i), to the extent the Buyer reasonably determines in good faith that a claim for Loss is a claim covered under the Buyer or its Affiliates then existing applicable insurance policy, Buyer shall first submit any such claim with its insurance carrier for recovery. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified or reimbursed for any Loss arising or resulting from any change in law enacted after the Closing Date.
Section 6.7. Set-Off.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 6 and the limitations set forth herein, Buyer shall set-off against the Deferred Cash Consideration and the Earn-Out for any amounts payable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article 6 or under Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 (a “Claimed Set-Off”), prior to having recourse to Seller; provided, however, in all
such cases, any Claimed Set-Off that is determined to be owed shall be applied (i) first, in reduction of the Second Installment, (ii) then in reduction of the Earn-Out, and (iii) then in reduction of the First Installment. Once any available Deferred Cash Consideration and Earn-Out has been exhausted, Seller shall remain liable for any additional amounts payable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties, subject to the limitations set forth herein.
(b) Buyer shall give Seller written notice of any Claimed Set-Off. Except in the case of a Claimed Set-Off made pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 (which claims may be made by Buyer only after amounts are finally determined to be owing to Buyer in accordance with Section 2.3 or Section 2.4), Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date of Buyer’s written notice to object to the Claimed Set-Off. Seller shall make any objection to a Claimed Set-Off in writing and shall forward the same to Buyer. If Seller does not timely object to a Claimed Set-Off, or in the case of any Claimed Set-Off made pursuant to and when permitted by Section 2.3 or Section 2.4, Buyer may permanently set-off against the Second Installment and Earn-Out as set forth in this Section 6.7(a).
(c) If the Seller does timely object and Seller and Buyer are unable to agree to the amount of the Claimed Set-Off within thirty (30) days, either Seller or Buyer may institute arbitration proceedings in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof for a determination of the amount of the Claimed Set-Off. If Seller objects to a Claimed Set-Off, or during the pendency of Seller’s thirty (30) day notice period, Buyer may withhold the amount of the Claimed Set-Off from payments otherwise due as Deferred Cash Consideration or Earn-Out pending final determination of the Claimed Set-Off, which determination shall be made as expeditiously as possible, in good faith and in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 6.8. Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) the provisions of this Article 6 (and solely for purposes of determining the Purchase Price as provided therein, Sections 2.3 and 2.4) set forth the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto (and the Indian Seller and the Indian Buyer) with respect to this Agreement, the Indian Purchase Agreement or any matter or event described herein or therein or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (b) in no event shall any Losses be recoverable under this Article 6 to the extent any Indemnifying Party has already made payment in respect of the subject matter, circumstance or event giving rise to such Losses under another Section or provision of this Agreement; other than for actions for specific performance or other equitable remedies. For avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall cause Indian Buyer, and Seller shall cause Indian Seller, to take all necessary or appropriate actions such that the provisions of this Article 6 shall serve as the sole and exclusive remedy or basis of recovery for any Loss under or with respect to the Indian Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Each party hereby waives any provision of law to the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreement contained in this Section 6.8.
Section 6.9. Tax Treatment. Any payments made to any party pursuant to this Article 6 shall constitute an adjustment of the U.S. Purchase Price for applicable Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable law.
