(b) Examination and Review.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, Seller shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, Seller and its accountants shall have full access to the relevant books and records of Buyer, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer and/or Buyer’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller. If Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of BDO USA, LLC or, if BDO USA, LLC is unable to serve, Buyer and Seller shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller and Buyer.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(c) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (b)(v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be. If any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment owed by Seller to Buyer is not paid within the applicable time period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Post-Closing Adjustment owed by Seller to Buyer shall be paid by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement from the Escrow Fund.

(d) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.08 Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller Parties and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) pursuant to an allocation schedule completed by Seller Parties and Buyer promptly after the Closing (the “Allocation Schedule”). Buyer and Seller Parties shall use commercially reasonable good faith efforts in completing the Allocation Schedule. Buyer and Seller Parties shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.07 shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

Section 2.09 Third Party Consents. To the extent that Seller’s rights under any Contract or Permit constituting a Purchased Asset, or any other Purchased Asset, may not be assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Seller, at its expense, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the Purchased Asset, shall act after the Closing as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the Purchased Asset, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer, including holding in trust for and paying to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, all such income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller to under such Contract or Purchased Asset. Provided the Seller helps the Buyer obtain the benefits of such Purchased Asset pursuant to the foregoing, there shall be no reduction to the Purchase Price for the inability to transfer such Purchased Asset.

The Indemnifying Party, at its option upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim from the Indemnified Party, and at its expense, shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim against any Indemnified Party with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice (subject to the Indemnified Party’s written consent and approval, such consent and approval not to be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned); provided that the Indemnifying Party may not assume such defense unless (i) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim in a commercially reasonable and diligent manner, (ii) the Third Party Claim is for monetary damages only and (iii) defense of the Third Party Claim would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to relief under this Agreement. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to the Indemnifying Party and shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of the Third Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the Third Party Claim; provided that if, in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (i) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or (ii) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.02) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim. Except with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Indemnified Party shall not enter into any settlement of any such claim unless (x) the Indemnifying Party shall not be subject to any indemnification obligation with respect to such claim hereunder, (y) such settlement shall include an express and unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liability with respect to the Third Party Claim, and (c) such settlement does not impose any consent order, injunction, or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Direct Claims. Reasonably promptly following an Indemnified Party’s discovery of an Action by such Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall give notice thereof (“Breach Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party, stating in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances related to such Losses, including copies of all material written evidence thereof and indicating the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 7.06 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 7.07 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate, as the case may be.

Section 7.08 Materiality. Each of the representations and warranties in ARTICLE IV and ARTICLE V that contains any “Material Adverse Effect,” “material” or similar materiality qualifications shall be read as though such qualifications were not contained therein for purposes of determining whether any breach of any such representation or warranty has occurred and for purposes of determining the amount of Losses to which any Indemnified Party may be entitled under this ARTICLE VII.

Section 7.09 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 2.07, Section 6.03 and Section 8.10, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VII. Nothing in this Section 7.09 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct. For all purposes of Section 7.02(a) and Section 7.03(a), Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification shall be net of (a) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policies in effect prior to or after the Closing in connection with the facts giving rise to the Losses and (b) any amounts received from an Indemnified Party from third parties pursuant to indemnification (or otherwise) with respect thereto (in each case, net of any deductible or co-pay amounts and any other reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith, including all premiums and other costs of such insurance policies or any increase in premium payable by such Indemnified Party, or any retroactive adjustment under any such policy or reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with pursuing a claim thereunder or therefrom (“Recovery Costs”)). If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by an Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment to the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party shall promptly refund the Indemnifying Party for such payment up to the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries (net of Recovery Costs). The Seller Parties hereby waive any and all rights of subrogation with respect to the rights each Buyer Indemnitee has or would otherwise have in respect of any claim against any Affiliate of Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, no indemnification payment payable hereunder shall be conditioned, withheld or delayed as a result of any Buyer Indemnitee not having sought, realized or received any insurance proceeds.

Section 7.10 Payments; Escrow Fund. To the extent any Losses are payable directly from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy such obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of the agreement or final, non-appealable adjudication determining the amount of Losses payable (the “Final Determination”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of the Final Determination and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus two percent (2%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Any Losses payable to a Buyer Indemnitee shall be satisfied: (i) from the Escrow Fund; and (ii) to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the amounts available to the Buyer Indemnitee in the Escrow Fund, from Seller.
