During the term of this Agreement, the Parent shall not, and shall not permit any affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives or agents of the Parent to, directly or indirectly, (i) discuss, encourage, negotiate, undertake, initiate, authorize, recommend, propose or enter into, either as the proposed surviving, merged, acquiring or acquired corporation or otherwise, any transaction involving a merger, consolidation, business combination, purchase or disposition of any material amount of the assets of the Parent or any subsidiary or any capital stock or other ownership interests of the Parent or any subsidiary other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (each, a “Proposed Parent Acquisition”) or (ii) otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 6.11(b), nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Parent, its board of directors or representatives from engaging in discussions or negotiations with, or furnishing or disclosing any information relating to the Parent in response to an unsolicited, bona fide, third party proposal with respect to a Proposed Parent Acquisition that is submitted to the Parent by such third party if the board of directors of the Parent determines that the failure to take such action could reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary obligations to the Parent or its stockholders under the DGCL.
(c)
The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Section 6.11 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed by the Parties that the Company or Parent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to an immediate injunction or injunctions, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 6.11 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, specific performance being the sole remedy with respect to this Section 6.11 if it is available. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restriction set forth above by (A) any affiliate, director, officer, employee, representative or agent of the Company shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company and (B) any affiliate, director, officer, employee, representative or agent of Parent shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by Parent.
SECTION 6.12.
Filing of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file, within sixty (60) days following the Closing, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, among other things, (i) effecting a 2-for-1 reverse stock split, and (ii) changing the name of Parent to “iSatori Technologies, Inc.”.
27
SECTION 6.13.
Merger of the Company into the Parent. The Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect a merger to take place after the Effective Time pursuant to Section 253 of the DGCL, whereby the Company will merge with and into the Parent with the separate corporate existence of the Company ceasing and the Parent continued as the surviving corporation following such merger (the “Upstream Merger”).
SECTION 6.14.
Tax Treatment of the Merger and the Upstream Merger. The Parties shall, for all income Tax purposes, treat the Merger and the Upstream Merger as a single statutory merger of the Company into Parent that qualifies as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1(A) of the Code without regard to Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code.
ARTICLE VII
Indemnification
SECTION 7.01.
Indemnification by the Company Shareholders. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Enterprises, Inc. (the “Indemnifying Shareholder”) who will surrender its Certificate(s), which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Company Shares, and will accept Merger Shares pursuant to this Agreement upon conversion of the Company Shares formerly represented by such Certificate(s) pursuant to Section 1.03 shall be deemed to have agreed, and hereby agrees to indemnify the Parent in respect of, and hold it harmless against, any and all debts, obligations and other liabilities (whether absolute, accrued, contingent, fixed or otherwise, or whether known or unknown, or due or to become due or otherwise), monetary damages, diminutions in value, fines, fees, penalties, interest obligations, deficiencies, losses and expenses (including without limitation amounts paid in settlement, interest, court costs, costs of investigators, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and other experts, and other expenses of litigation) (“Damages”) incurred or suffered by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent (each, an “Indemnified Party”) or any affiliate thereof resulting from, relating to or constituting:
(a)
any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement;
(b)
any failure of any Company Shareholder to have good, valid and marketable title to the issued and outstanding Company Shares issued in the name of such Company Shareholder, free and clear of all Liens;
(c)
any claim by a shareholder or former shareholder of the Company, or any other person or entity, seeking to assert any claim against the Company, the Merger Subsidiary or the Parent, based upon: (i) alleged ownership or rights to ownership of any shares of stock of the Company except as described in the Company Disclosure Letter; (ii) any rights of a Company Shareholder (other than the right to receive Merger Shares), including any option, preemptive rights or rights to notice or to vote; (iii) any rights under the Company Constituent Instruments; or (iv) any claim that his, her or its shares were wrongfully issued or repurchased by the Company;
(d)
any amount paid by the Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation to any Company Shareholder with respect to Dissenting Shares pursuant to the CCAA, and all interest, costs, expenses and fees incurred by the Parent or the Surviving Corporation in connection with the exercise of all dissenters’ rights under the CCAA (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and expenses); or
(e)
any breach of federal or state securities laws in connection with the issuance of the Company Shares and the Merger Shares to the Company Shareholders.
SECTION 7.02.
Time Limitations. The Indemnifying Shareholder will have no liability for any claim for indemnification under this Agreement unless on or before twelve (12) months from the Closing Date the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Shareholder of such claim.
28
SECTION 7.03.
Notice of Claim. Upon obtaining knowledge of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnity, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Shareholder in writing of the facts giving rise to such claim, including copies of all available material written evidence thereof. Such notice shall contain a brief description of the nature and estimated amount of any claim for indemnification.
SECTION 7.04.
Defense of Third Party Claims. With respect to any claim or demand set forth in a notice of claim relating to a Third Party Claim (as defined below), the Indemnifying Shareholder may, at their sole discretion, elect to participate in, or, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume, the defense of any Third-Party Claim at such the Indemnifying Shareholder’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Shareholder’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party (a) will cooperate in good faith in such defense, (b) will have the right (at such Indemnified Party’s own expense) to participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, and (c) will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Shareholder, enter into any settlement of such Third Party Claim which would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation (including but not limited to any indemnification obligation under this Agreement) on the part of the Indemnifying Shareholder, or which provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief applicable to the Indemnifying Shareholder. If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Indemnifying Shareholder desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Shareholder will give written notice to the Indemnified Party to that effect. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent and agree to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, then the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Shareholder as to such Third Party Claim will not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Shareholder with reasonable access during normal business hours to books, records and employees of the Indemnified Party necessary in connection with the Indemnifying Shareholder’s defense of any Third Party Claim that is the subject of a claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Third Party Claim” means any claim, demand, action, suit, or proceeding made or brought by any person or entity who or which is not a party to this Agreement or who or which is not an affiliate of any party to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.05.
Limits on Indemnification.
(a)
The Indemnifying Shareholder shall not be liable with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.01 to any Indemnified Party unless and until the aggregate amount of all claims against the Indemnifying Shareholder pursuant to Section 7.01 exceeds $46,000, as to which the Indemnifying Shareholder shall thereafter be responsible for all such Damages relating to such claims.
(b)
The maximum aggregate amount recoverable from the Indemnifying Shareholder pursuant to Section 7.01 shall be $460,000.
(c)
The Indemnifying Shareholder shall not be liable for any Damages to the extent that (a) such Indemnified Party receives proceeds from insurance policies for such Damages in connection with the circumstances related to the claim giving rise to the Damages but less the amount of any increase in the premium for the insurance policy under which payment of insurance proceeds was made attributable solely to the payment of such Damages, or (b) such Indemnified Party recovers from a third-party an amount directly related to the claim giving rise to the Damages.
(d)
The Indemnifying Shareholder shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party or otherwise have liability to an Indemnified Party under this Agreement for consequential damages, special damages, punitive damages, incidental damages, indirect damages, or similar items (and the Indemnified Party shall not recover for such amounts).
(e)
Indemnification payments under this Agreement shall constitute adjustments to the merger consideration.
29
(f)
If any Indemnifying Party is required to make an indemnification payment under this Agreement and the events giving rise to the Damages at issue actually result in a Tax benefit to the Indemnified Party, (i) any indemnification payment to be paid with respect to such Damages shall be reduced by the amount of any such Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party prior to the indemnification payment, and (ii) to the extent such Tax benefit is actually realized after the indemnification payment is paid to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall pay the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax benefit within ten days of filing the Tax Return realizing the benefit (or if the Tax benefit is in the form of an increased Tax refund, within ten days of receiving such refund).
(g)
In the event the Indemnifying Shareholder becomes obligated to indemnify for Damages hereunder, the Indemnifying Shareholder may choose to satisfy such obligation by delivery to the Indemnified Party of cash, Merger Shares, or any other shares of Parent Common Stock. For this purpose, such Merger Shares or other shares of Parent Common Stock shall be valued at the greater of (i) the average of the closing bid and ask price per share reported on a nationally recognized quotation system on the Closing Date, or (ii) (A) the average of the previous five (5) Business Days’ closing price per share of Parent Common Stock reported on a securities exchange or (B) the average of the closing bid and ask price per share reported on a nationally recognized quotation system immediately preceding the date of the payment of such Damages to the Indemnified Party. If any change is made in the Parent Common Stock without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction), the calculation of such price per share of Parent Common Stock provided for above will be appropriately adjusted.

SECTION 8.06.
Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.
SECTION 8.07.
