(i) If a Buyer Party or Company Party seeks indemnification under this Article 5 (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any claim, demand, action, proceeding

or other matter pursuant to this Agreement or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the other party(ies) (the “Indemnifying Party”) after receiving written notice of or discovering facts giving rise to the Claim (a “Notice of Claim”), which Notice of Claim shall contain the following information to the extent it is reasonably available to the Indemnified Party: (x) an estimate of the amount then reasonably ascertainable of the alleged loss, expense or liability against which the Indemnified Party claims to be indemnified; (y) a description, in reasonable detail, of the circumstances giving rise to the alleged loss, expense, or liability; and (z) a statement identifying each party against whom a Claim is asserted; provided, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or his obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party demonstrates it is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(ii) Except as provided in this Section 5.2(d)(ii), if the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within 30 calendar days after receiving the Notice of Claim that it will assume the defense thereof: (w) the Indemnifying Party shall defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; (x) the Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel at its sole cost and expense (except that the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the fees and expenses of the separate counsel to the extent the Indemnifying Party reasonably concludes based upon advice of counsel that a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party based on the existence of one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or available to the Indemnifying Party, but the assertion of which would be adverse to the interest of the Indemnified Party); (y) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably); and (z) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnified Party if such judgment or settlement requires any admission of guilty or liability on the part of the Indemnified Party or imposes any obligations on the Indemnified Party other than payment of a settlement amount to be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 calendar days that it will assume the defense thereof, or if the Claim involves any action by a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Law, then the Indemnified Party may defend against the matter in any manner it reasonably deems appropriate (subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to approve any settlement as set forth above), without prejudice to any of its rights hereunder. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other such Party in connection with the defense of third-party Claims.

(e) Purchase Price Adjustments. Amounts paid to or on behalf of the Company or Buyer as indemnification shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE 6
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

6.1 Tax Matters.

(a) Transfer and Ad Valorem Taxes. Except as set forth in Section 2.5(a), all transfer, documentary, use, stamp, registration, transaction privilege, sales and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest thereon) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be split evenly (50/50) between the Company and Buyer, with the Company paying half of such amount and Buyer paying half of such amount. For ad valorem or similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis on the Business, the Company shall be responsible for the portion of such Taxes equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period and Buyer shall be responsible for the remainder.

(b) Allocation.

(i) Within 120 days of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Company for its review, comment and consent, an allocation of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Allocation”) among the Purchased Assets. If Company objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation, then the Company and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. For purposes of the Allocation, the Purchase Price shall include the Assumed Liabilities for U.S. federal income Tax purposes. To the extent that the Purchase Price is adjusted after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.2(e), Buyer and the Company agree to revise and amend the Allocation in accordance with the character of each such adjustment. The Company and Buyer agree to prepare and file an IRS Form 8594 or such other form or statement as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation, and any comparable state or local income tax form, in a manner consistent with the Allocation. The Company and Buyer shall adhere to the Allocation for all Tax-related purposes including any federal, foreign, state, county or local income and franchise Tax Return filed by them after the Closing Date, including the determination by the Company of taxable gain or loss on the sale of the Purchased Assets and the determination by Buyer of its tax basis with respect to the Purchased Assets. Neither Buyer nor the Company shall file any Tax Returns or, in a judicial or administrative proceeding, assert or maintain any Tax reporting position that is inconsistent with this Agreement or the Allocation agreed to in accordance with this Agreement, unless required to do so by applicable law.

(ii) To the extent, pursuant to applicable Law, an allocation of the Purchase Price must be made for state, local or non-U.S. Tax purposes (the “Non-Federal Allocation”) (including, without limitation, for purposes of withholding state, local or non-U.S. Taxes) prior to the date Buyer must prepare and deliver the Allocation to the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(i), the Non-Federal Allocation shall not be binding on Buyer for purposes of preparing the Allocation and the Allocation may be inconsistent with the Non-Federal Allocation.

(c) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer and the Company shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns for the Business and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes for the Business. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon any Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company agrees (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters and pertinent to the Business relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer, any extensions thereof) for the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give Buyer reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Buyer so requests, the Company shall allow Buyer to make copies of such books and records (at its own cost and expense) or take possession of such books and records proposed to be destroyed or discarded.

6.2 Press Releases and Announcements. The Parties will publicly announce this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at (a) a mutually agreed upon time following the execution hereof, subject to compliance with applicable Law, and (b) pursuant to a mutually agreed upon press release prepared jointly through consultation by the Parties prior to such time. None of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates will issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated herein without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except as such release or statement may be explicitly contemplated by this Agreement or required by applicable Law, including the rules or regulations of any securities exchange, in which case such Party or Affiliate will, unless consent of the other party is required under this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance and will consider in good faith the advice of such other party with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may, without the prior written consent of the other Parties and at its own discretion, (a) make a public announcement regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein at any time; provided, however, that the contents of such announcement shall consist solely of information previously contained in prior announcements made by any or all of the Parties and (b) provide information regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein at any time to its Employees, contractors or creditors.

6.3 Further Transfers. The Company shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional actions as Buyer may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and any other transactions contemplated hereby, provided that the Company shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs or assume any liabilities in taking such actions. Buyer will execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional actions as the Company may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities and to transfer to the Company any assets that are not Purchased Assets hereunder that are in Buyer’s possession or control; provided that Buyer shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs in taking such actions.

6.4 Specific Performance. Parent, the Company and Buyer each acknowledges and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement, money damages may be inadequate and the other Party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Parent, the Company and Buyer each agrees that the Parties shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the obligations of the other Party hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance (including, without limitation, specific performance with respect to the acquisition of each Owned Real Property), injunctive and/or other equitable relief. If any such action is brought by the Company or Buyer to enforce this Agreement, each of Parent, the Company or Buyer, as applicable, hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

6.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Party shall pay all of its own fees, costs and expenses (including the fees, costs and expenses of its own legal counsel, investment bankers, accountants, brokers or other representatives and consultants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company shall pay all expenses related to obtaining third-party consents to assign the Assigned Contracts (including, without limitation, any consent or transfer fees expressly required by the terms of any Assigned Contracts).

6.6 Cooperation; Non-Disparagement and Confidentiality.

(a) Cooperation; Non-Disparagement. Parent and the Company agree (i) to use reasonable efforts to refer all customer inquiries relating to the Business to Buyer, from and after the Closing Date, and (ii) to not take any action which is intended or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of discouraging any material customers, suppliers, vendors, service providers, lessors or licensors from maintaining their existing business relationships with the Business, in each case during the two (2) year period beginning on the Closing Date.

(b) Confidentiality. During the five (5) year period beginning on the Closing Date, Parent and the Company shall treat and hold as confidential any information concerning the Business or the Purchased Assets that is not generally available to the public (the “Confidential Information”), and refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In the event that Parent or the Company is requested or required (by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall, if permitted by applicable Law, notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement. If Parent or the Company is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or Governmental Authority, Parent or the Company, as applicable, may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal or Governmental Authority; provided, that such disclosing Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request and expense of Buyer, an order or other assurances that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed.

6.7 Employee and Employee Benefit Matters; WARN Act.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Time, Buyer or one of its Affiliates may (but is not obligated to) offer employment to each Business Employee, a list of whom is set forth on Schedule 3.14(b), on such terms and conditions as Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion. In the case of any Business Employee who is offered employment by Buyer or its Affiliate and who is on an approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, the employment of such Business Employee with Buyer or its Affiliate shall be effective upon the date of his or her return to active work. All Business Employees who accept Buyer’s or such Affiliate’s offer of employment and who are thereafter employed by Buyer or its Affiliate are listed on Annex I and shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees”.

(b) For a period of sixty (60) days following the Closing, Buyer shall cause to be provided to each Transferred Employee who continues to be employed by Buyer or its Affiliate during such period, compensation (other than equity-based compensation) and benefits (other than the opportunity to participate in a 401(k) plan or any other qualified retirement plan) which are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by Buyer to its similarly situated employees.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Buyer shall provide each Transferred Employee with full credit for such Transferred Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Affiliates for purposes of eligibility under a welfare benefit plan that may be established or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates in which such Transferred Employee is eligible to participate (the “Buyer Welfare Plans”) to the same extent such service is recognized under any corresponding Plan immediately prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, a Transferred Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Affiliates shall not be recognized for purposes of eligibility or vesting under The Pictsweet Company 401(k) Retirement Plan or any other Buyer plan which is intended to be a qualified retirement plan (a “Buyer Qualified Plan”), benefit accrual under any Buyer Qualified Plan or to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits.

(d) Buyer or its Affiliate shall use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the consent of any applicable insurer, to cause, (i) each Transferred Employee to be immediately eligible to participate upon hiring, without any waiting time, in the Buyer Welfare Plans which provide health or welfare coverage to the Transferred Employee (except to the extent that such waiting periods applied to the Transferred Employee prior to the Closing under comparable Plans which provide health or welfare coverage); (ii) with respect to each Buyer Welfare Plan providing health or welfare coverage to the Transferred Employee, all pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, active employment requirements, and requirements to show evidence of good health of such Buyer Welfare Plans to be waived for such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents (except to the extent that such exclusions or requirements applied to the Transferred Employee under a comparable Plan); and (iii) the Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents to be credited with all co-payments, deductibles and other eligible expenses incurred during the plan year ending on the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year of each comparable Buyer Welfare Plan which provides health or welfare coverage.

(e) Pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-34 I.R.B. 320, Buyer and the Company, and their respective Affiliates, hereby agree to follow the “standard procedure” for purposes of payroll tax reporting with respect to each Business Employee.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Business Employee or Transferred Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Section 6.7 shall (i) be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any Plan; (ii) create any third party rights in any Business Employee or any other current or former service provider or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof) or (iii) prohibit the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates from amending or terminating any employee benefit plan in accordance with their applicable terms.

(g) The Company shall terminate the employment of each Business Employee as of 9:59 a.m. (Central Time) (prior to the Effective Time) on the Closing Date, and shall prior to 9:59 a.m. (Central Time) on the Closing Date, provide notice to all employees of the impending termination of their employment. The Company will be responsible for any cost and/or liability associated with such terminations (whether such liability may belong, absent this Agreement, to Buyer or the Company), including, but not limited to, that cost and/or liability that arises under the WARN Act (or any similar state law) as a result of the termination of the Business Employees prior to the Effective Time of the Closing. The Company will pay to each Jefferson facility employee (except for the Transferred Employees employed at the Jefferson facility who are offered employment with Buyer on terms comparable to their employment terms with the Company) an amount equivalent to sixty days of wages (including the Company’s expenses incurred to pay the Company’s share of FICA and FUTA with respect to such wages) and benefits as Pay in Lieu of Notice as required by the WARN Act (or any similar state law) as a result of the termination of those Business Employees on the day of Closing but prior to the Effective Time.

(h) The Company or its Affiliates will be responsible for (i) the payment of all wages and other remuneration due (including payment of all accrued and unused paid time off) to its employees with respect to their services as employees of Company through the Effective Time; and (ii) the payment of any termination, change of control or severance payments and the provision of health plan continuation coverage (including all administrative and notice obligations) under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), or any other Legal Requirement, with respect to any Business Employees who are not hired by Buyer, other former or current employees of the Company, or any Business Employees who remain eligible and elect continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA under the Company’s Plans. The Company will be liable for any claims made or incurred by its employees and their beneficiaries under the Plans, and Buyer will not have any responsibility, liability or obligation, to such employees, their beneficiaries or any other Person with respect to any Plan. The Company shall make or cause to be made on behalf of all the employees of the Company and its Affiliates all contributions due to be made under each Plan for all periods prior to the Effective Time. Additionally, the Company, at its sole cost and expense, shall take such actions as are necessary to make, or cause each Plan to make, appropriate distributions to all the

employees of the Company and its Affiliates in accordance with such Plans and applicable Legal Requirements.

6.8 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) In consideration of the Purchase Price to be received under this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company agrees that, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date (the “Restrictive Covenant Period”), it shall not, directly or indirectly, do any of the following:

(i) engage in, or invest in, own (except ownership of less than 5% of any class of securities of an entity which are listed for trading on any national securities exchange or which are traded in the over-the-counter market), manage, operate, finance, control, be employed by, associated with or in any manner connected with, or render services or advice or other aid to, any Person engaged in or planning to become engaged in, or any other business whose products or activities compete in whole or in part with, the business of growing, cultivating, supplying, selling or distributing any frozen vegetables (a “Competing Business”) anywhere within the United States; provided, however, in no event shall the Company’s business of providing veggie rice or quinoa, bean, grain, or fruit blends and bowls which may also contain vegetables under the “Boulder Canyon” brand or veggie blends for use in making juices or smoothies under the “Radar Farms” or “Jamba” brands be deemed to be a “Competing Business” in breach of this Section 6.8. In addition, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in the event Parent or the Company acquires (or merges with) a frozen fruit operator subsequent to the Closing and that operator also processes and freezes vegetables for unrelated third-party customers and/or performs contract manufacturing and private label brands for unrelated third parties, such activities as they relate to vegetables shall not be deemed a “Competing Business” in breach of this Section 6.8, nor shall the Company’s business of co-packing vegetables solely for unrelated third parties who supply the vegetables to the Company for co-packing be deemed to be a “Competing Business” in breach of this Section 6.8.

(ii) induce or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of Buyer who was an employee or independent contractor of the Company prior to the Closing to leave the employ or service of Buyer, in any way interfere with the relationship between Buyer and any such employee or independent contractor, or solicit, offer employment to, otherwise attempt to hire, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor, or otherwise, any such employee or independent contractor; or

(iii) induce or attempt to induce any Person that was a customer, supplier or business relation of the Company at any time during the one (1) year period preceding the Closing Date to cease doing business with Buyer, in any way interfere with the relationship between Buyer and any such customer, supplier or business relation, or solicit the business of any such customer, supplier or business relation for a Competing Business.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company acknowledges that all of the foregoing provisions are reasonable and are necessary to protect and preserve the value of the Purchased Assets and to prevent any unfair advantage being conferred on Parent or the Company. If any of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.8 are held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, the restrictive time period herein will be deemed to be the longest period permissible by law under the circumstances and the restrictive geographical area herein will be deemed to comprise the largest territory permissible by law under the circumstances.

(c) In the event of a breach by Parent or the Company of any covenant set forth in Section 6.8(a) of this Agreement, the Restrictive Covenant Period will be extended by the period of the duration of such breach.

(d) Each of Parent and the Company acknowledges that a breach by Parent or the Company of any of the covenants set forth in Section 6.8(a) of this Agreement cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law, and that Buyer will be entitled to, among other remedies, and without posting any bond or other undertaking, injunctive relief, which may include, but will not be limited to: (i) seeking injunctive relief to restrain Parent or the Company from engaging in any action that would constitute or cause a breach or violation of Section 6.8(a), (ii) obtaining specific performance to compel Parent or the Company to perform its obligations and covenants hereunder, and (iii) obtaining damages available either at law or in equity.

6.9 Change of Name. Immediately following the Closing Date, the Company shall amend its certificate of incorporation and take all other actions necessary to change its name so that its name will not include the phrase “Fresh Frozen”. For the avoidance of doubt, as between Buyer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company and its Affiliates, on the other hand, Buyer and its Affiliates shall own all rights to the name “Fresh Frozen Foods” and any derivatives thereof from and after the Closing (it being understood and agreed that such names are included as Purchased Assets).

6.10 Customers and Other Business Relationships. After the Closing, the Company and Parent shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to transfer the Business’s customer base as of the Effective Time to Buyer and shall otherwise cooperate with Buyer in its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Buyer those other relationships of the Company and Parent relating to the Business as of the Effective Time, including relationships with suppliers, landlords, creditors, lessors and employees. After the Closing, the Company and Parent shall refer to Buyer all customer inquiries from the Business’s customer base as of the Effective Time relating to the Business and redirect any consumer affairs calls to Buyer.

6.11 Collection of Accounts Receivable. Following the Closing, the Company shall pursue collection of Accounts Receivable in a manner consistent with past practice. Neither Parent or the Company shall engage a collection agent or commence legal proceedings against any account debtor with respect to any such Accounts Receivable without giving Buyer at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice, which notice shall contain the names of the account debtor and the amount of the account in question. Buyer may, at its sole option, within such ten (10) business day period after receipt of the Company’s notice, purchase the account(s) in question for the full face value thereof, without recourse, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall include a check for the full face amount of such account.

6.12 Payment of Excluded Liabilities. Following the Closing, the Company shall pay, or make adequate provision for the payment, in full of all Excluded Liabilities. If any such Excluded Liabilities are not so paid or provided for, or if Buyer reasonably determines that failure to make any payments will impair Buyer’s use or enjoyment of the Purchased Assets or conduct of the Business, Buyer may at any time after the Closing Date elect to make all such payments directly (but shall have no obligation to do so) and will be promptly reimbursed by the Company. Buyer will receive full credit under this Agreement for all payments so made.

6.13 Domain Names, Websites, and Social Media Accounts. Following the Closing, Parent and the Company shall assist Buyer in any way reasonably necessary with the transfer of any social media accounts, websites, and domain names included in the Purchased Assets to Buyer, including without limitation, providing all necessary credentials, usernames, and passwords, notifying the applicable domain name registrars, hosting providers, content management systems, and social media platforms of the transfer of the domain names and social media accounts to Buyer and requesting such transfer through the transfer procedures provided by such domain name registrars, hosting providers, content management systems, and social media platforms.

6.14 Required Approvals. As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents required for the transfer of all Governmental Authorizations of the Company to Buyer, to the extent transferable. The Company shall promptly make all filings and respond to all inquiries and requests required by Law to be made to cause the transfer of such Governmental Authorizations.

6.15 Inventory Packaging. Parent and Company consent to Buyer’s use of the films, packaging, and other materials used in connection with the Inventory, including any UPC codes, designs, images, information, or Intellectual Property presented thereon (“Packaging IP”), identifying Parent or Company either directly or indirectly, for the longer of twelve months from the Closing Date or until such time as all Inventory is disposed of by Buyer. Parent and Company hereby grant to Buyer a limited license and right to use Packaging IP solely on the Inventory for the foregoing time period.

6.16 Communications Concerning Purchased Assets. Following the Closing, the Parent and Company shall promptly forward or redirect upon receipt any customer service inquiries or other communications received by the Parent or Company concerning the Purchased Assets, whether through mail, electronic mail, facsimile, or telephone, or other communication, to the Buyer promptly after receipt of such communication by the Parent or the Company.

6.17 Signature Settlement. Following the Closing, Parent hereby agrees to promptly inform Signature Pack, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Signature Pack”), that Buyer has purchased the Purchased Assets, including the “Fresh Frozen Trade Dress”, as such term is defined in that certain Confidential Compromise and Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) by and between Parent and Signature Pack, and has assigned to Buyer the Settlement Agreement and any related enforcement rights. Parent agrees to provide Buyer with any and all documents related thereto. All legal costs incurred by Parent in connection with the negotiation of the Settlement Agreement shall remain the sole responsibility of Parent.
