(h) Dispute Resolution Procedure. If within thirty (30) days following the receipt by the Buyer of any such notice of objection (the “Resolution
Period”), any of such disputes have not been resolved by the parties, the parties shall submit the dispute to BDO (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Independent Accounting Firm will conduct its own review of the Closing Balance
Sheet and the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash, the Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment, Stamp Duty and the Purchase Price to determine only whether those items still in dispute at the end of the
Resolution Period have been calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Accounting Principles; provided, that the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination for each line item may not
be greater than the highest amount proposed by Buyer and the Seller nor less than the lowest amount proposed by Buyer and the Seller. The Independent Accounting Firm will be granted reasonable access to all records of the Seller and the Acquired
Subsidiaries relevant to the calculations in dispute, and the parties will follow such procedures and make such submissions to the Independent Accounting Firm as it may reasonably request in conducting its review and making its determination. The
Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall be made within thirty (30) days after its engagement, and shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Seller and the Buyer and shall be final, conclusive, non‑appealable and binding on
all of the parties hereto for all purposes hereunder. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm in resolving any disputes hereunder shall be borne based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accounting Firm’s
determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount in dispute as originally submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. For example, if the items in dispute total $1,000 and the Independent Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of
Seller’s position, then 60% of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm would be borne by Buyer and 40% of such fees and expenses would be borne by the Seller. It is further agreed that if any unresolved dispute is in connection with
one or more of the projects set forth in the Project Status Report, then the provider of the Project Status Report shall resolve any such dispute between the Parties solely in relation to the relevant project. The provisions relating to the
Independent Accounting Firm herein shall apply mutatis mutandis to the provider of the Project Status Report.

Section 3.3(h) above.

transfer to the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, to the bank accounts whose details are set forth on Schedule 3.4.

such amount will be added to the applicable payments and paid by the Buyer to the Seller against provision of a valid VAT invoice by the Seller.
3.6 Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller shall allocate the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the Purchased Assets acquired from Seller or from any
Subsidiary thereof hereunder in accordance with Schedule 3.6, to be provided by Seller and appended to this Agreement prior to Closing (and with respect to the value of the Acquired Subsidiaries not less than fifteen (15) Business
Days prior to Closing) (the “Allocation Statement”). If by no later than 30 Business Days following the Closing, Buyer notifies Seller in writing that Buyer objects to the allocation set forth in the Allocation Statement, Buyer and Seller
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of such objection notice by Seller. In the event that Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute within such twenty (20)
Business Days, Buyer and Seller shall jointly retain the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve the disputed items. Upon resolution of the disputed items, the allocation reflected on the Allocation Statement shall be adjusted to reflect such
resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm accrued in connection with the review of the Allocation Statement shall be borne by (i) Seller, to the extent the Allocation Statement is adjusted following such review, or
(ii) Buyer, to the extent the Allocation Statement is not adjusted following such review. Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with this
Allocation Statement. None of Seller, Buyer nor any of their Affiliates will take any position, whether on any Tax Return, in any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding, which is inconsistent with such allocation unless expressly
required pursuant to applicable Law.
3.7 Withholding Tax. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any portion of any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller such amounts as it
reasonably determines are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable Tax Law, and to remit such amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority. In the event the Seller delivers to Buyer, at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any payment required to be made pursuant to this Agreement, a Valid Tax Certificate, then the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes, shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of
such Valid Tax Certificate. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted by the Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller. Following the receipt of Seller’s written
request, the Buyer shall deliver to Seller evidence of payment in connection with the above.

In consideration of the Purchase Price and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby:
7.1 Non-Competition. The Seller shall not, and the Seller shall cause its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Subsidiaries) not to, during the Restrictive
Period, compete, engage in, assist in or provide financial resources to any activity that competes with the Business, as now carried on; provided, however, that the foregoing covenant shall not prohibit or limit, or be interpreted as
prohibiting or limiting, Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that are not Acquired Subsidiaries, from continuing to engage in the design, development, marketing and selling of products and product-based solutions (it being understood that neither the
Seller nor any of the Subsidiaries which are not Acquired Subsidiaries shall engage in the execution of turn-key projects as prime contractor in respect thereof), or from making equity investments in companies traded on any national securities
exchange that conduct a competitive Business, provided that any such equity investment is passive and such investment does not exceed five (5%) of the outstanding equity of such company. Without derogating from the foregoing, the Seller (on behalf of
itself and its Subsidiaries) undertakes that, during the Restrictive Period, upon any direct sale to one of the customers listed in Schedule 7.1, it shall grant the Business the right to make such sale to the customer upon the same terms and
conditions and, only if the Buyer does not exercise such right (which shall be exercisable by written notice within 10 days following the Seller’s notice), the Seller shall be permitted to make such direct sale.
7.2 Non-Disclosure. Following the Closing, the Seller shall, and the Seller shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that are not Acquired Subsidiaries, and its and
their respective directors, officers and employees, and shall instruct their agents and representatives to, keep confidential and not disclose or use for its benefit or for the benefit of any other Person, any and all trade secrets, know how, or
confidential matters concerning the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, including unpublished financial information, secrets, customer lists, employee data, mailing lists, consultant arrangements, pricing policies, operational
methods, marketing plans or strategies, project development and techniques or plans, research and development programs and plans, business acquisition plans, new personnel acquisition plans, designs and design projects, any Acquired IP and any other
research or business information concerning the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities (the “Confidential Information”) and starting from the Closing, the foregoing shall constitute confidential information of Buyer and not
of Seller. If the Seller is obligated to disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to applicable Law, then the Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice before any such disclosure sufficient to enable Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and
expense, either to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy preventing or prohibiting such disclosure or to waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.2 or both. If the Buyer does not obtain such protective order or other
remedy, then the Seller will furnish only that portion of such Confidential Information that is legally required, and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such disclosed information.
Nothing herein shall prevent the Seller from using or disclosing information that is generally available to the public, unless such information became publicly available as a result of a breach of this undertaking by Seller or by any of its
Subsidiaries that are not Acquired Subsidiaries.
40
7.3 Non-Solicitation. The Seller shall not, and the Seller shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that are not Acquired Subsidiaries not to, during the Restrictive
Period, (i) solicit or encourage to leave employment, any Transferred Employee, provided, that Seller and each of its Subsidiaries that are not Acquired Subsidiaries, shall not be precluded from soliciting and/or employing any such individual (a)
whose employment has been terminated by Buyer or by any Affiliate thereof, (b) to whom Buyer or any affiliate thereof has not made an offer in accordance with and on the terms set forth in Section 8.7 or (c) who responds to a general solicitation not
specifically targeted at employees of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including a general and non-targeted solicitation by a search firm or recruiting agency); or (ii) induce or attempt to induce, or assist anyone else to induce or attempt to induce,
any distributor, customer, contractor, broker, supplier vendor, licensor or service provider of the Business to reduce or discontinue its business with the Buyer.
7.4 Enforceability.
(a) The Seller hereby acknowledges the broad territorial scope of the covenant contained in Section 7.1, but acknowledges and agrees that the
restrictions are reasonable and enforceable in view of, among other things, (i) the narrow range of activities prohibited, (ii) the national and international markets in which the Business now, or in the future will, operate, (iii) the confidential,
proprietary, know-how and trade secret information of the Business to which the Seller had and/or may have had access, (iv) the fact that a business which competes with the Business could greatly benefit if it were to obtain the Confidential
Information, (v) the sale and/or transfer of the Acquired IP and Goodwill of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, and (vi) the fact that the Seller would have an unfair competitive advantage if it was allowed to engage in the competitive activities
prohibited by this Article VII in light of the Confidential Information and/or Goodwill that the Seller had as of the Closing Date. The Seller hereby acknowledges that the provisions and covenants in this Article VII are independent of the other
provisions of this Agreement and shall be enforceable despite any actual or alleged breach of any other provision hereof.
(b) In addition, the Seller acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable and agrees that in the event of any breach thereof, the harm to
Buyer will be irreparable and without adequate remedy at law and therefore that injunctive relief with respect thereto will be appropriate. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines, in an Action brought by or on behalf of Buyer
or the Seller, that any of the foregoing provisions are unenforceable as stated, the Parties intend that such restrictions be modified to permit the maximum enforceable restriction on the Seller’s competition with the Business.
41
8.1 Conduct of the Business Prior to Closing. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Seller will, and
will cause every Acquired Subsidiary to, unless otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement or consented to in writing by Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), carry on the Business only in the ordinary
course of business and in compliance with Law, use reasonable commercial efforts to, and cause every Acquired Subsidiary to use reasonable commercial efforts to: (i) preserve intact the Purchased Assets and the Business, (ii) maintain its rights and
franchises, (iii) retain the services of the Key Employees, and (iv) maintain its relationships with customers, suppliers and others having business dealings with the Seller in relation with the Business or with the Acquired Subsidiaries; provided,
that no action by Seller or any of its Affiliates specifically permitted by any provision of Sections 8.1(a)-8.1(s) (inclusive) shall be deemed a breach of this paragraph. Without derogating from the foregoing, except as set forth in Section 8.1 of
the Disclosure Schedules or as required by applicable Law or as otherwise contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, between the date hereof and the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, the
Seller shall not do any of the following solely in connection with the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, and the Seller shall cause every Acquired Subsidiary not to, directly or indirectly, do any of the following, in each
case without the prior written consent of the Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed):

Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities shall terminate.
8.3 Access and Information .

records and personnel as Buyer may reasonably request and solely as related to the Business to facilitate the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided, that (i) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required

with the operation of the Business, and, from the date hereof until the Closing, none of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or representatives shall communicate with any of the employees of the Business without the prior written consent of Seller, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide access to or disclose information pursuant to

conditions to Closing not to be satisfied prior to the Termination Date; or (iv) prevent the Closing; and
(b) Any notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
(and not already included as a Required Consent or Required Permit hereunder).
The Seller hereby acknowledges that Buyer does not waive any right it may have hereunder solely as a result of such notifications (including any right to indemnification or
termination of the Agreement as a result thereof).
45
8.6 Further Assurances.
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Party agrees to use best commercial efforts to take, or cause to be
taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the execution of any documents that may be reasonably required in connection therewith (including following Closing). Without derogating from the foregoing, prior to and following the Closing the Seller shall cooperate
with the Buyer as may be reasonably required and at Buyer’s sole cost and expenses (i) in order to transfer/assign Seller’s supplier registration number with the Israeli Ministry of Defense to the Buyer; and (ii) in connection with any Action related
to the Business, including by providing documents or information in the possession of the Seller (except that Seller shall not be obligated to provide information where, upon the advice of counsel, such disclosure would jeopardize attorney-client
privilege or contravene any Laws or confidentiality undertakings to which Seller or any of its Affiliates may be subject) and making Seller’s personnel reasonably available in connection with any Action related to the Business.
(b) Without derogating from the foregoing, as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall make, and
Seller shall cause the Acquired Subsidiaries to make, all required filings and to use reasonable best efforts to take all required actions to receive (and shall cooperate with each other in obtaining) the Required Permits and Buyer Permits (which
actions shall include furnishing all information required in connection with such Permits). Additionally, each of Buyer and Seller shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to fulfill all conditions precedent to this Agreement and shall not
take, and shall not permit any of its respective Affiliates to take, any action after the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to impair or materially delay the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any Required Permits and
Buyer Permits, as the case may be. Each Party shall keep the other Party timely apprised of the status of the Required Permits and Buyer Permits, as the case may be, and promptly forward a copy of all material correspondence and communications with
any Governmental Authority in respect of such Permits to the relevant Party.
(c) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Seller shall, and shall cause the Acquired Subsidiaries to, as applicable, make
reasonable commercial efforts to obtain the Required Consents provided that all correspondence with applicable counterparties for receipt of the Required Consents shall be coordinated in advance with the Buyer. The Seller shall make reasonable
commercial efforts to facilitate the receipt of the Required Consents, including by arranging any meetings or other direct contact between the Buyer and the relevant counterparty, if requested by the Buyer.
(d) If any Required Consent is not obtained prior to Closing, or if an attempted assignment of any Purchased Assets would be ineffective or would
adversely affect the Seller’s ability to convey its interest to the Buyer (and if such Required Consent is an Essential Consent the Buyer has waived receipt of such Required Consent on or before the Closing pursuant to Section 9.2 below), then
the agreement, lease, sublease, assignment, authorization, license or permit to which such Required Consent relates shall not be assigned, conveyed or transferred pursuant to this Agreement, without derogating from Buyer’s obligation to pay the
Purchase Price. Following the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall continue to use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such Required Consent or assign such Purchased Asset. If, despite the reasonable commercial efforts of Buyer and Seller, a Required
Consent cannot be obtained or such assignment cannot be performed, Buyer and Seller shall take all action reasonably required (including the appointment of the Buyer as agent in fact for the Seller) to (i) assure that the rights of the Seller
thereunder shall be preserved for the benefit of the Buyer (including, if requested by the Buyer or Seller, the execution of a back-to-back agreement between the Seller and the Buyer) and cause Buyer to assume and bear all Assumed Liabilities under
such Required Consents, (ii) hold any such non-assigned Purchased Assets for the benefit of Buyer and cooperate with Buyer in order to provide the benefits of ownership thereof to the Buyer, and (iii) facilitate receipt of the consideration to be
received after Closing thereunder, which consideration the Seller shall hold for the benefit of and in trust for the Buyer, and shall immediately deliver, transfer and assign to the Buyer, all without additional consideration. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall not be obligated under this Agreement or otherwise to pay any consent, approval or waiver “fee,” discount, rebate or any money or other consideration beyond administrative costs and its attorney’s fees to
any Person, agree to any modification or amendment of or any concession to any counterparty to any Contract, or to initiate any claim or Action against any Person in order to obtain any Required Consent. Seller hereby acknowledges that this Section
8.6(d) (x) shall not cure any failure of the Seller to make reasonable commercial efforts to obtain any Required Consent, (y) shall not have any effect for purposes of determining Buyer’s right to indemnification hereunder (if any), and (z) shall not
in any way limit the Buyer’s rights under this Agreement.
46
8.7 Transferred Employees.
(a) Promptly following the date hereof, the Seller shall notify each Seller Transferred Employee and the applicable labor union of the sale of the
Business to Buyer and the transfer of the employment of the Seller Transferred Employees to Buyer, by way of termination of employment with the Seller and rehire by Buyer, as of the Closing (or such later date with respect to any Seller Transferred
Employees who are on leave from active work as of the Closing or whose prior notice period of termination to which they are entitled has not lapsed), through continuity of their seniority (“vetek”) and on
employment terms at least as favorable to such Seller Transferred Employees as their employment terms with the Seller immediately prior to Closing. Seller shall, in full and prior coordination, with the Buyer and in connection with the transfer of
employment to Buyer, complete the consultation process required by applicable Law with the representative labor union. Without derogating from the provisions of Section 8.1 above, the Seller will continuously and as promptly as practicable update the
Buyer with respect to its discussions with such labor union. Upon prior coordination between Seller and Buyer, Buyer shall provide the Seller Transferred Employees appropriate offers of employment, consistent with the terms of this Section 8.7 (“Buyer’s
Employment Offer”).
(b) Upon Closing or if Seller deems practicable in its discretion, prior to Closing, the Seller shall terminate the employment or engagement of all of
the Seller Transferred Employees, without any liability to the Buyer. The Seller shall be responsible to deliver termination letters to all such Seller Transferred Employees and to properly settle all accounts with them as of the termination of their
respective employment upon expiration of the applicable notice period, and use commercially reasonable efforts to have them sign waiver and release letters in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L. The notice period applicable to each Seller
Transferred Employee shall be the period specified in each such Seller Transferred Employee’s employment agreement. In the event that the Closing shall take place prior to the lapse of any or all of the aforementioned notice periods to which the
Seller Transferred Employees are entitled, then, Seller shall continue to employ such Seller Transferred Employees until the lapse of the applicable notice period, and the Transferred Employees shall be considered as if they were outsourced to Buyer,
and Buyer shall reimburse Seller, in cash, for the full “Employer’s Cost” in connection with such Seller Transferred Employees payable by Seller to the Seller Transferred Employees during such period, plus VAT against a tax invoice (each Seller
Transferred Employee’s “Employer’s Cost” shall be as set forth in his or her last pay-slip prior to Closing. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer with its efforts to convince the Seller Transferred Employees to agree to
the assignment of their employment to Buyer.
47
(c) The Seller Transferred Employees are transferred through continuance of their seniority (“vetek”). Without
derogating from the forgoing, all Seller’s obligations and covenants under collective bargaining agreements to which Seller is a party shall be assigned to Buyer upon Closing as part of the Assumed Contracts, and all benefits that such Seller
Transferred Employees may be eligible to receive pursuant to such collective bargaining agreements or applicable Law shall be assumed by Buyer. Buyer undertakes that as of the Closing and until the first anniversary thereof, it shall not, and shall
cause any Affiliate thereof not to, terminate more than 10% of the Seller Transferred Employees.
(d) Upon the transfer of the Seller Transferred Employees to the Buyer, the Seller shall assign and transfer to Buyer all its rights in all severance
funds or insurance policies with respect to the Seller Transferred Employees (“Severance Fund”), and, as of such date (or at such later date, subject to applicable law), such Severance Funds shall be deemed Purchased Assets hereunder. To the
extent the recordation of such assignment and transfer is not completed by the Closing, then the Parties shall cooperate and take such further actions as are reasonably necessary to record such assignment and transfer as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any Seller Transferred Employee ceases to be employed by Buyer after the Closing, Buyer shall be solely responsible for any severance or other payments due to the Seller
Transferred Employee as a result of such termination of employment, provided, however, that if a Seller Transferred Employee is terminated prior to the assignment of the Severance Funds and applicable law
requires the release of any amounts out of the Severance Funds to such Seller Transferred Employee, the Seller will, upon request by Buyer, cooperate with the Buyer and release such amounts to the Seller Transferred Employee as required by applicable
Law.
(e) The Seller will cooperate with the Buyer’s efforts in connection with the Buyer’s transition of the Seller Transferred Employees, including by (i)
providing all information reasonably requested by the Buyer in respect of such Seller Transferred Employees, and (ii) encouraging the Seller Transferred Employees to agree to work for the Buyer. The Seller shall not take any actions that are intended
to dissuade any of the Seller Transferred Employees from becoming engaged with the Buyer following the Closing.
(f) The Seller shall timely submit a request to the ITA for the continuity of severance funds of the Transferred Employees of the Israeli Subsidiaries
and the Seller Transferred Employees employed in Israel (retzef pitsuiim in Hebrew), in accordance with Income Tax Circular 6/2011 (A Transfer of Employees from an Employer to Employer and/or a Transfer of the Ownership of Provident Funds). Prior to
Closing, the Seller shall have deposited all funds required to be deposited (i) in the Severance Funds with respect to the period prior to Closing, with respect to the Seller Transferred Employees; and (ii) with the Acquired Subsidiaries or employee’
funds, as applicable, on account of severance pay for the time period prior to Closing with respect to Transferred Employees employed by the Acquired Subsidiaries.
48
(g) Seller agrees to fund the payments set forth on Schedule 8.7(g) at its expense, prior to the Closing.
8.8 Taxes.
(a) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and other such Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges in the
nature of Taxes (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”), other than Stamp Duty, shall be borne by the Seller. Stamp Duty shall be

investigate the claim alleged by such Third Person (a “Third Person Claim”). The Indemnified Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Person Claim with its own counsel at its own expense, unless, in
the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, separate representation is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case such representation by one counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying

Indemnifying Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnified Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted

Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, and (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have the rights at its expense to participate in the defense assisted
by counsel of its own choosing. In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless (i)
there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Indemnified Person; and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, in which cases the consent of
the Indemnified Party shall not be required. No Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
58
11.6 Limitations on Indemnity.
(a) Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Persons for indemnification under Section 11.2(a) (other than in respect of Fundamental

first dollar.
(b) Except as provided in Section 11.6(c), the aggregate amount of Indemnified Losses that may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons under
Section 11.2(a) shall not exceed 15% of the Purchase Price, provided that such limitation shall not apply to any Indemnified Losses arising out of or resulting from breaches of the Fundamental Representations, for which the aggregate amount of all
Indemnified Losses for which Seller shall be liable to Buyer Indemnified Persons shall not exceed the Purchase Price received hereunder.
(c) Subject to Section 11.6(b), the aggregate amount of all Indemnified Losses for which Seller shall be liable to Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to
Section 11.2(a) (with respect to Fundamental Representations) and 11.2(b), and the amount of all Indemnified Losses for which the Buyer shall be liable to the Seller Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 11.3(a) and 11.3(b), shall not exceed the
amount of the Purchase Price received hereunder.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no Indemnified Losses may be claimed under this Article XI by Buyer to the extent such
Indemnified Losses are reflected or included as part of the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness or Purchase Price.
(e) The amount of any Indemnified Losses payable under this Article XI by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts actually received by the
Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies, net of any expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the collection thereof, including deductibles and self-insured retentions. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under
applicable insurance policies subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net
of any expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount (including deductibles and self-insured retentions). The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under such insurance
coverage; provided, however, that (i) doing so is commercially reasonable and (ii) such obligation shall not be a condition to, or a limitation on, indemnification rights hereunder prior to making any claim for indemnification under this Article XI.

of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

all claims for any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein, shall be solely pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI, provided that Indemnified
