Section 2.2 Accounting Procedures.

2.2.1 Working Capital Determination. The Purchaser shall, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, prepare in accordance with GAAP, a report containing the Closing Balance Sheet together with a statement based upon such report which (1) states that such balance sheet was prepared in accordance with this Agreement, (2) sets forth the Closing Date Working Capital (including any differences between (i) the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses and actual Company Transaction Expenses, (ii) the Estimated Assumed Indebtedness and actual Assumed Indebtedness and (iii) the Estimated Closing Cash and actual Closing Cash) and (3) sets forth all adjustments required to be made to such balance sheet in order to make the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital (the “Working Capital Determination”). The Purchaser shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to instruct an accounting firm chosen by the Purchaser (the “Accountants”) to audit the Closing Balance Sheet and to determine the scope of such audit. If the Seller does not agree that the Working Capital Determination correctly states the Closing Date Working Capital, the Seller shall promptly (but not later than 30 days after the delivery to the Seller of the Working Capital Determination) give written notice to the Purchaser of any exceptions thereto (in reasonable detail describing the nature of the disagreement asserted). If the Seller and the Purchaser reconcile their differences, the Closing Date Working Capital calculation shall be adjusted accordingly and shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon all of the parties hereto and enforceable in a court of law. If the dispute relates to an accounting issue and if the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to reconcile their differences in writing within 30 days after written notice of exceptions is delivered to the Purchaser (the “Reconciliation Period”), the accounting items in dispute shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable accounting firm selected from any of the four largest accounting firms in the United States in terms of gross revenues (the “Independent Auditors”) for final determination; provided, however, that prior to such submission, a third party that is creditworthy, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, has guaranteed in writing the timely payment of any fees that may become due by Seller pursuant to Sections 2.2.4 and 2.2.5. The Closing Date Working Capital calculation shall be deemed adjusted in accordance with the determination of the Independent Auditors and shall become binding, final and conclusive upon all of the parties hereto and enforceable in a court of law. The Independent Auditors shall consider only the accounting items in dispute and shall be instructed to act within 30 days (or such longer period as the Seller and the Purchaser may agree) to resolve all accounting items in dispute. If the dispute involves a non-accounting issue and such dispute cannot be reconciled within the Reconciliation Period, the dispute shall be settled by a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Seller does not give written notice of any exception within 30 days after the delivery to the Seller of the Working Capital Determination or if the Seller gives written notification of the Seller’s acceptance of the Closing Date Working Capital prior to the end of such 30 day period, the Closing Date Working Capital set forth in the Working Capital Determination shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon all the parties hereto and enforceable in a court of law. The Purchaser shall deliver a copy of the Working Capital Determination to the Seller not later than 90 days after the Closing Date; provided, however, any delay in meeting such timetable shall impose no liability on the part of the Purchaser.

2.2.2 Annual Determination. The Purchaser shall (or, at its sole discretion, shall cause the Accountants to), as soon as practicable after the end of each of calendar years 2021 and 2022, prepare in accordance with GAAP, a report containing a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on December 31 of each such calendar year, and a related consolidated statement of income of the Company for the twelve (12) months then ended, in each case together with a statement based upon such report which (x) states that it was prepared in accordance with this Agreement and (y) sets forth for the period under examination the applicable calculation of Revenue of the Company and EBITDA of the Company (the “Annual Determination”). The Purchaser shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to instruct the Accountants to audit the financial statements and to determine the scope of such audit. The Purchaser shall deliver a copy of each such Annual Determination to the Seller not later than 90 days after the end of the period to which such Annual Determination relates; provided, however, any delay in meeting such timetable shall impose no liability on the part of the Purchaser.

2.2.3 Annual Determination Dispute. If the Seller does not agree that any Annual Determination correctly states the applicable Revenue of the Company and/or EBITDA of the Company calculations for the period under examination, the Seller shall promptly (but not later than 30 days after the delivery to the Seller of such Annual Determination) give written notice to the Purchaser of any exceptions thereto (in reasonable detail describing the nature of the disagreement asserted). If the Seller and the Purchaser reconcile their differences, the Annual Determination shall be adjusted accordingly and shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon all of the parties hereto and enforceable in a court of law. If the dispute relates to an accounting issue and if the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to reconcile their differences in writing within the Reconciliation Period, the accounting items in dispute shall be submitted to the Independent Auditors for final determination; provided, however, that prior to such submission, a third party that is creditworthy, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, has guaranteed in writing the timely payment of any fees that may become due by Seller pursuant to Sections 2.2.4 and 2.2.5. The Annual Determination shall be deemed adjusted in accordance with the determination of the Independent Auditors and shall become binding, final and conclusive upon all of the parties hereto and enforceable in a court of law. The Independent Auditors shall consider only the accounting items in dispute and shall be instructed to act within 30 days (or such longer period as the Seller and the Purchaser may agree) to resolve all accounting items in dispute. If the dispute involves a non-accounting issue and such dispute cannot be reconciled within the Reconciliation Period, the dispute shall be settled by a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Seller does not give written notice of any exception within 30 days after the delivery of an Annual Determination or if the Seller gives written notification of the Seller’s acceptance of an Annual Determination prior to the end of such 30 day period, such Annual Determination shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon all the parties hereto and enforceable in a court of law.

2.2.4 Independent Auditors. If the Independent Auditors are for any reason unable or unwilling to perform the services required of them under this Section 2.2, then the Purchaser and the Seller agree to select another accounting firm from among the four largest accounting firms in the United States in terms of gross revenues to perform the services to be performed under this Section 2.2 by the Independent Auditors. If the Purchaser and the Seller fail to select the Independent Auditors as required by Section 2.2.1 above within seven days after the expiration of the Reconciliation Period or fail to select another accounting firm within seven days after it is determined that the Independent Auditors will not perform the services required, either the Purchaser or the Seller may request the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) located in New York, New York to appoint an independent firm of certified public accountants to perform the services required under this Section 2.2 by the Independent Auditors. The fees of JAMS shall be shared equally by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand. For purposes of this Section 2.2 the term “Independent Auditors” shall include such other accounting firm chosen in accordance with this Section 2.2.

2.2.5 Independent Auditor Fees. The Independent Auditors shall determine the party (i.e., the Purchaser or the Seller) whose asserted position as to the calculation of Closing Date Working Capital, Revenue of the Company and/or EBITDA of the Company for the period under examination before the Independent Auditors is furthest from the determination of such item by the Independent Auditors, which non-prevailing party shall pay the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditors and shall reimburse the prevailing party for the portion of the fees of JAMS previously paid by it.

2.2.6 Examination of Books and Records. The books and records of the Company shall be made available during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice at the principal office of the Company to the parties hereto, the Accountants and the Independent Auditors to the extent required to determine the calculations required under Section 2.2. The Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall make available to the other party and their representatives (including auditors) any back-up materials generated by them to support a position that is contrary to the position taken by any other party.

Section 2.3 Payment of the Purchase Price. Payment of each component of the Purchase Price shall be made by the Purchaser by direct wire transfer to the accounts of the applicable recipients set forth on Schedule 2.1.1(ii)(a), Schedule 2.1.1(ii)(b), Schedule 2.1.1(ii)(c), Schedule 2.1.1(ii)(d) and Schedule 2.1.1(ii)(f) hereto, or such other account(s) as the applicable recipient may direct by written notice to the Purchaser given pursuant to this Agreement. In respect of the amount of Company Transaction Expenses paid to the Company in consideration of the Transaction Bonuses, the Purchaser will cause the Company to pay the Transaction Bonuses via the Company’s payroll service (subject to all applicable payroll Taxes withholding and deductions) to the Persons and in the amounts set forth on item 5 of Schedule 3.19.2 hereto; provided, that the receipt of the Transaction Bonuses by such Persons shall be conditioned upon the execution and delivery of a Transaction Bonus and Release Agreement, in form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each of the Milestone Payments, if paid, shall be deemed to include imputed interest to the extent required by the Code.

Section 2.4 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement at 10:00 A.M. on the date hereof, at the offices of Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 or by the exchange of documents and instruments by mail, courier, electronic transmission, telecopy and wire transfer to the extent mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (such date is herein referred to as the “Closing Date”).

The Company is not subject to any Order entered in any lawsuit or Proceeding.

3.11.1 General. The Company Group has timely completed and filed, or caused to be filed, taking into account any valid extensions of due dates, completely and accurately, all federal, state, local and foreign (if any) Tax or information returns (including estimated Tax returns) required under the statutes, rules or regulations of such jurisdictions to be filed by it.

3.11.2 Payment of Taxes; Specific Tax Liability. All Taxes shown on said returns to be due and all other Taxes due and owing (whether or not shown on any Tax return) have been paid and all additional assessments received prior to the date hereof have been paid or are being contested in good faith, in which case, such contested assessments are set forth on Schedule 3.11. The Company has collected all sales, use, goods and services or other commodity Taxes required to be collected and remitted or will remit the same to the appropriate taxing authority within the prescribed time periods. The Company has withheld all amounts required to be withheld on account of Taxes from amounts paid to employees, former employees, directors, officers, managers, members, service providers, independent contractors, residents and non-residents and remitted or will remit the same to the appropriate taxing authorities within the prescribed time periods. The amount set up as an accrual for Taxes (aside from any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax accrual) on the Balance Sheet (as opposed to the notes thereto) is sufficient for the payment of all unpaid Taxes of the Company, whether or not disputed, for all periods ending on and prior to the date thereof. Since the Balance Sheet Date, the Company has not incurred any liabilities for Taxes other than in the ordinary course of the business of the Company consistent with past custom and practice.

3.11.3 Tax Returns; Absence of Claims. No member, manager, director or officer (or employee responsible for Tax matters) of the Company expects any authorities to assess the Seller or the Company Group for any additional Taxes (in the case of the Seller, only Taxes with respect to items attributable to the operations or assets of the Company Group) for any period for which Tax returns have been filed. The Company has delivered to the Purchaser correct and complete copies of all federal, state and local income tax returns filed with respect to the Company for all taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11, none of the federal, state or local income tax returns of the Company Group (or the Seller with respect to Company Group items) have ever been audited by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or any other Governmental or Regulatory Authority. No examination of any return of the Seller or the Company Group is currently in progress, and neither the Seller nor the Company Group has received notice of any proposed audit or examination. No deficiency in the payment of Taxes by the Seller (with respect to Tax items relating to the operations or assets of the Company) or the Company Group for any period has been asserted in writing by any taxing authority and remains unsettled at the date of this Agreement. The Company Group has not received notice of a claim by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority in any jurisdiction where the Company Group does not file Tax returns that the Company Group is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. Neither the Seller nor the Company Group has made any agreement, waiver or other arrangement providing for an extension of time with respect to the assessment or collection of any Taxes against it. The Company Group has not been a member of an affiliated group filing consolidated federal income tax returns nor has it been included in any combined, consolidated or unitary state or local income tax return.

3.11.4 Status. Since its formation, the Company has been treated as a disregarded entity for all federal, state, and local income Tax purposes, and neither the Company nor the Seller has taken any action to change such status.

3.11.5 Additional Representations. At no point has the Company held any interests in real property that might be subject to tax or might subject the transfer of the membership interests of such entity to tax under Section 897 of the Code. The Company Group has not taken any Tax position that could give rise to a penalty under any of Sections 6662, 6662A or 6663 of the Code. Neither the Purchaser nor the Company will be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a result of any: (i) “closing agreement” as described in Code Section 7121 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or foreign income tax law); (ii) installment sale or open transaction disposition made on or prior to the Closing Date; or (iii) prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing Date.

3.12.2 PPP Loan Compliance; PPP Loan Escrow. The Company complied with all applicable Laws and made no material misrepresentations or omissions to the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”), the PPP Lender or any other lender as it relates to (i) the Company’s eligibility and application for the PPP Loan and (ii) usage or forgiveness of the PPP Loan funds. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, prior to the Closing, the Company has completed a forgiveness application reflecting the Company’s use of all the PPP Loan proceeds, and submitted it, along with all required supporting documentation, to the PPP Lender (true, correct and complete copies of such application and supporting materials are attached as Schedule 3.12.2). On or prior to the Closing, the Company has (A) notified the PPP Lender in writing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and provided the PPP Lender with a copy of this Agreement and the other documents that would effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (B) procured the PPP Lender’s written approval of the change of control and transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a true, correct and complete copy of which has been provided to the Purchaser); and (C) established the PPP Loan Escrow Account pursuant to the PPP Loan Escrow Agreement.

Section 3.13 Insurance.

Each such insurance policy is valid and binding and in full force and effect, all premiums due thereunder have been paid and the Company has not received any notice of cancellation or termination in respect of any such policy or default thereunder. Neither the Company, nor to the Company’s knowledge, the Person to whom such policy has been issued has received notice that (i) any insurer under any policy referred to in this Section 3.13 is denying liability with respect to a claim thereunder or defending under a reservation of rights clause or (ii) any premiums will be materially increased in the future or that any insurance coverage listed on Schedule 3.13 will not be available in the future on substantially the same terms now in effect. Within the last two (2) years, the Company Group has not filed for any claims exceeding $25,000 against any of its insurance policies, exclusive of automobile and health insurance policies. None of such policies shall lapse or terminate by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all such policies shall continue in effect after the Closing Date for the benefit of the Company. The Company has not received any notice of cancellation of any such policy. The Company has not been refused any insurance or required to pay higher than normal or customary premiums, nor has its coverage been limited by any insurance carrier to which it has applied for insurance during the last three years.

Section 3.14 Intellectual Properties.

3.14.1 Registered, Unregistered and Licensed Intellectual Property. Schedule 3.14.1 contains an accurate and complete list of all: (a) Registered IP including for each such item, the jurisdiction of filing, issuance, and/or registration, the application filing number, the application filing date, the registration or issue number, the registration or issue date, and the registration status, (b) Unregistered IP and Licensed IP which is material to the Company or the business of the Company, including, a description of the Company’s tools, platforms, software, and databases included within such Unregistered IP and Licensed IP and (c) any contractual obligations which impose a restriction on the Company’s exploitation or commercialization of the Registered IP, Unregistered IP, and licensed Data.

No registration, or application therefor, for any of the Registered IP has lapsed, expired, or been abandoned, and no such registrations, or applications therefor, are the subject of any opposition, interference, cancellation, or other legal, quasi-legal, or governmental Proceeding pending before any governmental, registration or other authority in any jurisdiction. The Company has not entered into and is not otherwise bound by any consent, forbearance or any settlement agreement which limits the rights of the Company to use the Intellectual Property of the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14.1, no Person has any rights to use any of the Company Owned IP and the Company has not granted to any Person, nor authorized any Person to retain, any rights in the Company Owned IP. The Company owns and has good and exclusive title to each item of Company Owned IP, free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens set forth on Schedule 3.6; and the Company has the right, pursuant to a valid Contract, to use or operate under all Licensed IP which requires a valid license to use. The Company is not in violation of any such Contract to use Licensed IP. To the Company’s knowledge, the operation of the business of the Company as it has been or currently is conducted by the Company and as contemplated to be conducted after the Closing Date does not infringe the Intellectual Property of any other Person and the Company has not received notice from any Person that the operation of its business infringes the Intellectual Property of any Person. There are no Contracts between the Company, on the one hand, and any other Person, on the other hand, with respect to the Intellectual Property of the Company in respect of which there is any dispute known to the Company regarding the scope of such Contract, or performance under such Contract, including with respect to any payments to be made or received by the Company. To the Company’s knowledge, no Person is infringing or misappropriating any of the Company Owned IP. The Company is not infringing or misappropriating any Intellectual Property owned by a third party. Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 3.14.1, all Company Owned IP was either developed: (a) by employees of the Company within the scope of such employee’s employment duties; (b) by independent contractors as “works-made-for-hire,” as that term is defined under Section 101 of the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101, pursuant to written agreement; or (c) by third parties who have assigned all of their rights therein to the Company pursuant to a written agreement. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14.1, no former or present employees, officers, directors, managers, members or independent contractors of the Company retain any rights of ownership or use of any Company Owned IP, and no employees or third parties who have developed or participated in the development of Company Owned IP have any claims to any rights therein. In addition, except as set forth on Schedule 3.14.1, no former or present employees, officers, directors, managers, members or independent contractors of the Company retain any rights of ownership in or use of any Intellectual Property created by the Company for clients as “work-made-for-hire” or which are subject to an exclusive assignment or license in favor of clients of the Company, and no employees or third parties who have developed or participated in the development of such Intellectual Property for clients have any claims to any rights therein. Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 3.14.1, the Company Owned IP does not include any software that is distributed as open source software (e.g., Linux), including software licensed or distributed under any of the following licenses or distribution models, or licenses or distribution models similar to any of the following: (i) GNU’s General Public License (Version 2 or Version 3) (GPL) or Lesser GPL (Version 2.1) (LGPL); (ii) the Mozilla Public License (Version 1.1); (iii) the BSD License; and (iv) the Apache License (Version 2.0). No source code for any computer software that is Company Owned IP has been delivered or licensed by the Company to any escrow agent or other Person who is or was not an employee or contractor of the Company. The Company is not under an obligation to deliver or license the source code for any computer software that is Company Owned IP to any escrow agent or other Person who is not an employee or contractor of the Company.

3.19.6 Tax-Qualification. Each Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) or 408(k) of the Code is qualified under Sections 401(a) or 408(k) of the Code (and, if applicable, complies with the requirements of Sections 401(k) and 408(k) of the Code), and has received a favorable opinion or determination letter from the IRS that it is so qualified. Each trust established in connection with any Plan which is intended to be exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code is exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code; and no fact or event has occurred or condition exists since the date of such opinion or determination letter from the IRS which would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the qualified status of any such Plan or the exempt status of any such trust.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures.

8.4.1 Non-Third Party Claims.

(a) General. In the event that any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) asserts a claim for indemnification which does not involve a Third Party Claim (as defined in Section 8.4.2) (a “Non-Third Party Claim”), against which a Person is required to provide indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party (the “Non-Third Party Claim Notice”), which Non-Third Party Claim Notice shall (i) describe the claim in reasonable detail and (ii) indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible) of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party.

(b) Dispute of Non-Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may acknowledge and agree by written notice (the “Non-Third Party Acknowledgement of Liability”) to the Indemnified Party to satisfy the Non-Third Party Claim within 30 days of receipt of the Non-Third Party Claim Notice. In the event that the Indemnifying Party disputes the Non-Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of such dispute (the “Non-Third Party Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of the Non-Third Party Claim Notice (the “Non-Third Party Dispute Period”), setting forth a reasonable basis of such dispute. In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall fail to deliver the Non-Third Party Acknowledgement of Liability or Non-Third Party Dispute Notice within the Non-Third Party Dispute Period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to pay the Non-Third Party Claim in full and to have waived any right to dispute the Non-Third Party Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged and agreed to pay any Non-Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.4.1, or once any dispute under this Section 8.4.1 has been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, subject to the provisions of Section 8.5, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Non-Third Party Claim to the Indemnified Party within 10 days of the date of acknowledgement or resolution, as the case may be, to such account and in such manner as is designated in writing by the Indemnified Party.

8.4.2 Third-Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Third Party Claim. In the event that any Indemnified Party asserts a claim for indemnification or receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action or Proceeding by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement in respect of which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement by an Indemnifying Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party (the “Third Party Claim Notice”) within 15 days after asserting or learning of such Third Party Claim (or within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to such claim). The Third Party Claim Notice shall (i) describe the claim in reasonable detail, and (ii) indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible) of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party must provide written notice to the Indemnified Party that it is either (x) assuming responsibility for the Third Party Claim or (y) disputing the claim for indemnification against it (the “Indemnification Notice”). The Indemnification Notice must be provided by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within 15 days after receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice or within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to such Third Party Claim (the “Indemnification Notice Period”).

(b) Defense. If the Indemnifying Party provides an Indemnification Notice to the Indemnified Party within the Indemnification Notice Period that it assumes responsibility for the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall conduct at its expense the defense against such Third Party Claim in its own name, or if necessary in the name of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnification Notice shall specify the counsel it will appoint to defend such claim (“Defense Counsel”); provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve the Defense Counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to give the Indemnification Notice within the Indemnification Notice Period, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense and to compromise and settle such Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party and subject to the provisions of Section 8.5, the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all Losses paid or incurred in connection therewith.

(c) Dispute of Indemnification Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party provides in the Indemnification Notice that it disputes the claim for indemnification against it, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense and to compromise and settle such Third Party Claim, without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party. Once such dispute has been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction or by mutual agreement of the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party, subject to the provisions of Section 8.5.1, the Indemnifying Party shall within 10 days of the date of such resolution or agreement, pay to the Indemnified Party all Losses paid or incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

(d) Settlement; Participation in Defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party delivers an Indemnification Notice pursuant to which it elects to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have the exclusive control over the defense of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnifying Party will not settle the Third Party Claim or cease to defend against any Third Party Claim as to which it has (x) delivered an Indemnification Notice and (y) assumed responsibility for the Third Party Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, if, as a result of such settlement or cessation of defense, (i) injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or (ii) such settlement or cessation would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e) Refusal to Accept Settlement. If an Indemnified Party refuses to consent to a bona fide offer of settlement which the Indemnifying Party wishes to accept, which provides for a full release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates relating to the Third Party Claims underlying the offer of settlement and solely for a monetary payment, the Indemnified Party may continue to pursue such matter, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, at the sole expense of the Indemnified Party. In such an event, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party shall be limited to the amount of the offer of settlement which the Indemnified Party refused to accept plus the reasonable costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party notified the Indemnified Party of the offer of settlement.

(f) Exceptions to Ability to Control Defense. Notwithstanding subsection (d) above, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (x) that part of any Third Party Claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party or (ii) to the extent such Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (y) the entire Third Party Claim (i) if such Third Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party in an amount which is greater than the amount as to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or (ii) that if unsuccessful, would set a precedent that would have a material adverse effect on, the business or financial condition of the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnified Party retains control of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(g) Acknowledgement in Respect of Notice. A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this Section 8.4 will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise directly and materially damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach and the amount of Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification or reimbursement hereunder, each representation and warranty in this Agreement and Schedules hereto shall be read without regard and without giving effect to the term “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar phrases contained in such representation or warranty which has the effect of making such representation and warranty less restrictive (as if such word were deleted from such representation and warranty).

8.6.3 Waiver. The Seller will not make and irrevocably waives any right to make any claim for indemnification against the Company with respect to any Proceeding brought by Purchaser against the Seller under this Agreement by reason of the fact that the Seller, directly or indirectly, was a manager, director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company or was serving at the request of the Company as a partner, trustee, manager, director, officer, employee, or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses, including any advancement thereof, or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or otherwise).

Section 8.7 Escrow; Reasonable Reserves for Disputed Claims.

8.7.1 General. No later than two (2) Business Days after the expiration of the Escrow Period (the “Escrow Release Date”), the Purchaser and the Seller shall deliver a joint, written letter to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay and distribute all of the funds then remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account to the Payment Parties in accordance with the Payment Instructions, unless any outstanding claim for indemnification under Section 8.2 is still pending and unresolved, in which case an amount of the Indemnity Escrow Amount representing a reasonable quantification of the amount of indemnifiable Losses relating to any pending and unresolved claim for indemnification under Section 8.2 will be retained by the Escrow Agent (the “Retained Amount”), and the balance paid to the Payment Parties in accordance with the Payment Instructions. Any Retained Amount shall remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account until released to a Purchaser Indemnified Party (or its designee) in satisfaction of an outstanding claim or as set forth in Section 8.7.2 below.

8.7.2 Release of Retained Amount to the Payment Parties. If, following the Escrow Release Date, after final resolution and payment of each outstanding claim for indemnification, any Retained Amount remains in the Indemnity Escrow Account, no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such final resolution and payment (if applicable), the Purchaser and the Seller shall deliver a joint, written letter to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay and distribute to the Payment Parties in accordance with the Payment Instructions, all of the funds then remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account.

8.7.3 Treatment of Indemnity Escrow Amount. Until the date or dates on which the Indemnity Escrow Amount is actually paid to the Payment Parties (“Escrow Payment Dates”), the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be treated for all Tax purposes as not having been received (actually or constructively) by the Payment Parties and, accordingly, any cash that would have been paid at Closing or later dates but for the provisions related to the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be treated as being owned by (or at least not transferred to the Payment Parties by, as the case may be) the Purchaser until such Escrow Payment Date or Dates. The Purchaser and the Payment Parties agree to file all Tax returns in a manner consistent with the foregoing.

Section 8.8 Right of Offset. Without limiting any other rights or remedies available to it, the Purchaser shall be entitled to offset any claim for indemnity made pursuant to Section 8.2 or any amount owed to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1.2 against any Milestone Payment due and payable pursuant to Section 2.1.3 or any other payments owing by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (such entitlement, the “Right of Offset”). If any such claims for indemnity are resolved in favor of the Seller by mutual agreement or otherwise, or if the amount withheld pursuant to the Right of Offset in connection with a claim for indemnity exceeds the amount ultimately payable to a Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, the Purchaser shall pay to the Payment Parties the excess amount withheld with respect to such claim in accordance with the Payment Instructions.

Section 8.9 PPP Loan Escrow. If all or any portion of the PPP Loan is forgiven, then, in accordance with the terms of the PPP Loan Escrow Agreement, the PPP Lender shall release the amount forgiven, to the extent thereof, from the PPP Loan Escrow Account to the Company (any such amount that is released to the Company, the “PPP Released Amount”). The Purchaser may cause Losses in respect of which any Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2(f) to be satisfied by offsetting the amount of such Losses against any PPP Released Amount. Following the release to the Company of any PPP Released Amount, upon the Seller’s written request, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to pay pursuant to the Payment Instructions within five (5) business days after such request (the “PPP Release Date”), the difference of (i) the PPP Released Amount, minus (ii) any amounts that could reasonably be needed to satisfy any unresolved indemnity claims of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(f) hereof. After all of the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ indemnification claims under Section 8.2(f) that remain outstanding and unresolved as of the PPP Release Date have been finally resolved and all applicable payments have been made, or reductions in the PPP Released Amount credited to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of such indemnification claims have been entered, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to pay pursuant to the Payment Instructions the remaining PPP Released Amount, if any.
