Section 2.5 Purchase Price Adjustment.
2
(a) Closing Date Purchase Price Adjustment.
(i) Prior to the Closing Date, the Acquired Company has provided the Buyer with an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Company as of the open of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement of the estimated Closing Working Capital, derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (“Estimated Closing Working Capital”). The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Working Capital shall be prepared by the Acquired Company in accordance with the Accounting Principles.
(ii) If Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than Target Working Capital, then the Closing Payment payable at Closing shall be decreased by the positive difference between Estimated Closing Working Capital and Target Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Shortfall”). If Estimated Closing Working Capital is greater than Target Working Capital, then the Closing Payment payable at Closing shall be increased by the positive difference between Estimated Closing Working Capital and Target Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Excess”). “Target Working Capital” shall be as set forth on the working capital worksheet set forth as Exhibit C to this Agreement (the “Estimated Working Capital Statement”).
(b) Post-Closing Date Purchase Price Adjustment.
(i) Following the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as provided herein to reflect the difference between Closing Working Capital and Estimated Closing Working Capital.
(ii) Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a balance sheet of the Acquired Company as of the open of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement of Closing Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) and a statement of the Closing Cash Amount (the “Closing Cash Statement”), in each case derived from the Closing Balance Sheet. The Closing Balance Sheet, Closing Working Capital Statement and the Closing Cash Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The determination of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash Amount and the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Closing Cash Statement will entirely disregard (i) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Acquired Company as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Buyer or any other transaction entered into by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) any of the plans, transactions, or changes that Buyer intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Acquired Company or its business or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any of its assets or liabilities. If Buyer does not deliver to Sellers’ Representative within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date the Closing Balance Sheet, Closing Working Capital Statement or the Closing Cash Amount, then the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement (and the calculation of Closing Working Capital reflected therein) and the Estimated Closing Cash Amount will be final, conclusive and binding upon all Parties.
3
(iii) The Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Closing Cash Statement (and the computation of Closing Working Capital and the Closing Cash Amount indicated thereon) delivered by the Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties unless the Sellers’ Representative, within thirty (30) days after delivery to the Sellers’ Representative of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Closing Cash Statement (the “Dispute Period”), notifies the Buyer in writing that the Sellers’ Representative disputes any of the elements or amounts set forth therein that affect the calculation of the Purchase Price (the “Objection Statement”). If the Sellers’ Representative does not deliver an Objection Statement within the Dispute Period, the Closing Balance Sheet, the Working Capital Statement and the Closing Cash Statement shall become final, conclusive and binding upon all Parties. Without limiting Sellers’ right in this Section 2.5, upon request of Sellers’ Representative at any time during the Dispute Period, Buyer shall reasonably promptly deliver to Sellers’ Representative supporting source documents pertaining to the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Closing Cash Statement and such other information reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative. The Parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve any dispute and, if the Parties so resolve all disputes, the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Closing Cash Statement (and the computation of Closing Working Capital and Closing Cash Amount indicated thereon), as amended to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of the dispute, shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. If the Parties do not reach agreement in resolving the dispute within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Objection Statement, the Parties shall submit the dispute to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP and, if for any reason such firm is unable to act, to such other nationally recognized independent accounting firm which is mutually agreeable to the Parties (the “Arbiter”) for resolution. Promptly, but no later than twenty (20) days after acceptance of his, her or its appointment as Arbiter, the Arbiter shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Arbiter shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting computation of the Closing Working Capital and the Closing Cash Amount which shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. All proceedings conducted by the Arbiter shall take place in Somerset County, New Jersey. In resolving any disputed item, the Arbiter (x) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.5 and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Arbiter, provided that the fees, costs and expenses of the Arbiter shall be allocated one-half to the Buyer and one-half to the Sellers, jointly and severally.
(iv) Upon final determination of Closing Working Capital as provided in Section 2.5(b)(iii) above, (A) if Closing Working Capital is greater than Estimated Closing Working Capital by more than $250,000, the Purchase Price shall be increased by the excess of Closing Working Capital over Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Buyer shall promptly, but no later than five (5) business days after such final determination, pay the amount of such difference to the Sellers’ Representative, to be distributed to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares, and (B) if Closing Working Capital is less than Estimated Closing Working Capital by more than $250,000, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the excess of Estimated Closing Working Capital over Closing Working Capital and the Sellers shall promptly, but no later than five (5) Business Days after such final determination, pay to the Buyer the amount of such difference.
4
(v) Upon final determination of Closing Cash Amount as provided in Section 2.5(b)(ii) or Section 2.5(b)(iii) above, shall promptly, but no later than five (5) business days after such final determination, pay the amount of the Closing Cash Amount to the Sellers’ Representative, to be distributed to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares.
Section 2.6 No Withholding. Except as required pursuant to Tax Law, all payments of the Purchase Price shall be made without any deduction or withholding for Taxes.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.7, the Sellers Representative shall have the exclusive right to control any Tax Claims, and the Buyer shall have no right to attend any proceedings with respect thereto, relating to any Seller Combined Return or otherwise to any affiliated, combined, consolidated, unitary or similar group including any Acquired Company or a Subsidiary, on the one hand, and any Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand; provided that the Sellers Representative shall not settle or compromise such proceedings in a manner which is reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on the Acquired Company or Buyer without the prior written consent of the Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld.
(g) Each Seller, severally and not jointly, based on the Pro-Rata Share of each Seller, shall indemnify Buyer and the Acquired Company and hold them harmless from and against any Loss attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Acquired Company for all Pre-Closing Taxable Periods, (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Acquired Company (or any predecessor of it) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6, and (iii) any and all Taxes of any person (other than the Acquired Company) imposed on the Acquired Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or
21
pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing; provided, however, that Sellers shall be liable with respect to an item of Taxes described above only to the extent that the amount of such item exceeds the amount, if any, accrued for that purpose in the final determination of Closing Working Capital. Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for any Taxes of the Acquired Company that are the responsibility of Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.7(g) within fifteen (15) days after payment of such Taxes by Buyer or the Acquired Company. Without duplication, the indemnification obligation pursuant to this Section 6.7(g) is in addition to the indemnification obligations of Sellers pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement and any conflict between Article IX and this Section 6.7(g) shall be resolved in favor of the provisions of this Section 6.7(g). Notwithstanding anything in Article IX of this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the representations and warranties in Section 4.13 shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations plus sixty (60) days, and (y) and the Deductible and Cap shall not apply to any Loss relating to Taxes.

The Buyer, the Acquired Company and each of the Sellers agree not to take any action, or fail to take any action, with the intention of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the Closing. Nothing contained in this Section 6.8 shall require, and in no event shall the reasonable best efforts (or any other different efforts standard specifically contemplated by this Agreement) of the Buyer or the Sellers be deemed or construed to require, the Buyer, any Seller or the Acquired Company to (i) pay any fee or (ii) incur any other liability.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time and from time to time after the Closing, at a Party’s request and without further consideration, the other Parties shall execute and deliver to such requesting Party such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, provide such materials and information and take such other actions as such Party may reasonably request in order to consummate the Transactions and/or enforce the indemnification and other rights of such Party hereunder.

The Buyer agrees that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of the current or former managers, officers or employees, as the case may be, of the Acquired Company, as provided in its Organizational Documents shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that any of the foregoing constitutes a Loss for which the Sellers are required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 9.2.

(f) Except with respect to claims based on Fraud, and as set forth in Section 10.8, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, should the Closing occur, its and each Buyer Indemnitee’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all matters arising out of, relating to or connected with this Agreement, the Acquired Company, the Transactions and the Interests shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX.
Section 9.3 Indemnification by the Buyer.
(a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein, following the Closing, the Buyer and the Acquired Company shall indemnify and defend the Sellers and its Representatives and Affiliates, and each of their respective shareholders, members, partners, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, Affiliates, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each Seller Indemnitee harmless from, any Loss that is a Covered Loss suffered or incurred or imposed on such Seller Indemnitee to the extent arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in ARTICLE V or in any Related Agreement, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement, and (iii) any liabilities arising out of or in connection with or related to the operation of the business of the Acquired Company from and following the Closing, except to the extent that the Sellers are required to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Deductible and Cap will not apply to the case of any breach of any Buyer Fundamental Representation or in the case of Fraud.
(c) Except with respect to claims based on Fraud, and as set forth in Section 10.8, the Seller acknowledges and agrees that, should the Closing occur, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all matters arising out of, relating to or connected with this Agreement, the Acquired Company or its Subsidiaries and their respective assets and liabilities, the Transactions and the Interests shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 6.7 or in this ARTICLE IX.
Section 9.4 Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims.
(a) Other than in respect of Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 6.7, in the event that any claim or demand, or other circumstance or state of facts that would
27
reasonably be expected to give rise to any claim or demand, for which an Indemnitor may be liable to an Indemnitee hereunder is asserted or sought to be collected, in each case, in writing, by a third party (“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitee shall promptly, but in no event more than thirty (30) days following such Indemnitee’s receipt or knowledge of a Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnitor in writing of such Third Party Claim (“Notice of Claim”); provided, however, that a failure by an Indemnitee to provide timely notice consistent with the requirements of this Section 9.4(a) shall not affect the rights or obligations of such Indemnitee except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Notice of Claim shall, to the extent practicable, specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated (taking into account the information then known to the Indemnitee), the date such item was paid or properly accrued (if applicable), and the basis for any anticipated Loss and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related (taking into account the information then known to the Indemnitee). The Indemnitee shall enclose with the Notice of Claim a copy of all papers served with respect to such Third Party Claim, if any, and any other available documents evidencing such Third Party Claim.
(b) The Indemnitor shall have the right, but not the obligation to assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice and at its sole cost and expense (a “Third Party Defense”); provided that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to undertake a Third Party Defense, and the Indemnitor shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee in connection therewith, if (A) the claim or demand relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Legal Proceeding, indictment or allegation, or (B) the claim or demand seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. If the Indemnitor assumes the Third Party Defense in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (subject to the below) and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, but the Indemnitor shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, (ii) the Indemnitee will not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement (x) provides for equitable or other non-monetary relief, (y) does not contain a full and unconditional release of liability for the Indemnitee or (z) contains an admission of liability, in each case without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Parties will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The Parties will also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnitor has assumed the Third Party Defense, such Indemnitor will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditions or delayed.
(c) If the Indemnitor does not assume the Third Party Defense, the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume the Third Party Defense at the expense of the Indemnitor upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the (i)
28
Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in the Third Party Defense at its sole cost and expense, but the Indemnitee shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof; and (ii) the Indemnitor will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (except where such consent was unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 9.5 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. The Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in writing promptly, and in no event later than sixty (60) days, of its discovery of any matter that does not involve a Third Party Claim. The failure to give such written notice within such sixty (60) day period shall not, however, relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations, except, and only to the extent, that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall (a) state that the Indemnitee has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates that it will incur liability for Losses for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (if applicable), and (b) to the extent practicable, specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated (taking into account the information then known to the Indemnitee), the date such item was paid or properly accrued (if applicable), the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related (taking into account the information then known to the Indemnitee).
Section 9.6 Calculation of Indemnity Payments.
(a) Each Indemnitee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue and collect on any recovery available under any insurance policies or other collateral sources, including recovery from a third party. The amount of Losses payable under this Article IX by the Indemnitor shall be reduced by any and all amounts recovered by the Indemnitee from any recovery available under any insurance policies net of any out-of-pocket costs (including any deductibles and the allocable portion of insurance premiums, commissions, taxes and fees paid by the Indemnified Party with respect to such insurance policy since the Closing) as a result of any Losses (collectively, the “Insurance Proceeds”). If the Indemnitee receives any amounts from Insurance Proceeds, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnitor, then such Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitor for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnitor in connection with providing such indemnification up to the amount received by the Indemnitee, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in collecting such amount.
(b) The amount of Losses incurred by an Indemnitee shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realizable by the Indemnitee or its Affiliates (without treating the Acquired Company or any of its Subsidiaries as an Affiliate of the Seller) arising in connection with the circumstances relating to such Losses.
(c) No Losses shall be determined or increased based on any multiple of any financial measure (including earnings, sales or other benchmarks) that might have been used by the Buyer in the valuation of the Acquired Company or their respective businesses.
Section 9.7 Mitigation. Each Indemnitee shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.
29
Section 9.8 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties shall treat any payment made pursuant to this Article IX as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
