In this regard, any judicial authority construing this Agreement shall be empowered to sever any portion of the Territory, any prohibited business activity or any time period from the coverage of this Section 7.3 and to apply the provisions of this Section 7.3 to the remaining portion of the Territory, the remaining business activities and the remaining time period not so severed by such judicial or arbitral authority. If any restriction set forth in this Section 7.3 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration panel to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it is the intent of the Parties hereto that it extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.

7.3.3    The restrictions contained in this Section 7.3 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of Buyer and are considered by Seller to be reasonable for such purpose. Seller expressly acknowledges the value of the consideration received in connection with this Section 7.3, agrees that any breach of this Section 7.3 will cause Buyer substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to such other remedies which may be available at law or equity, Buyer shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive relief.

7.4    Taxes.

7.4.1    All property Taxes and special assessments payable in respect of any property transferred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be prorated between the parties on the basis of actual days elapsed between the commencement of the current fiscal Tax year and the Closing Date, based on a 365-day year. Ad Valorem taxes, if any, for 2013 on personal property shall be pro-rated outside of Closing when Buyer receives the 2013 tax xxxx and sends the same to Seller, along with the Buyer's computations of the amount it estimates is owed by Seller for its share of such taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that this Section 7.4 does not apply in any way to the Facility Lease.

7.4.2    All sales and transfer Taxes and fees (including filing fees, if any) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be borne by Seller. Seller, at its own expense, will file on a timely basis all necessary Tax returns and other documents required to be filed with respect to all such Taxes and filing fees. Buyer will cooperate with Seller to the

extent necessary to enable it to make such filings and join in the execution of any Tax returns or other documents as may be necessary to enable Seller to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.4.

7.5 Bulk Sales Laws. The parties hereto waive compliance with the provisions of any “bulk sales laws” or similar Laws of any state or other jurisdiction which may be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby or that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer.

7.6    Proration of Lease Payments, Utility Charges, etc. Any installment of rent due on any Lease (but specifically excluding the Facility Lease) which is a Purchased Asset and any utility or similar charge payable with respect to the period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated, based on the actual number of days applicable to pre-Closing and post-Closing occupancy or use; provided that to the extent any of such installments or charges are Assumed Liabilities hereunder, such charges shall be for the account of the Buyer. Seller shall be liable for all utility charges for all periods prior to Closing, and Buyer shall be liable for all utility charges after Closing; provided that to the extent any of such charges are Assumed Liabilities hereunder, such charges shall be for the account of the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not assume or have any liability with respect to the Facility Lease either before or after Closing.

7.7    Mail Received After Closing. Following the Closing, Buyer may open all mail, email, telegrams and other communications and packages it receives which are addressed to Seller and deal with the content thereof in its reasonable discretion to the extent that the content thereof relates to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. Buyer agrees to promptly deliver to Seller all other such material it receives which is addressed to Seller and does not relate to the Business, Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities. Seller agrees to promptly deliver to Buyer all mail, email, telegrams and other communications and packages it receives related to the Business, Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities.

7.8    Public Announcements. Shortly after Closing, Buyer, or an Affiliate of Buyer, will issue a Form 8-K (including press release), Form 8-K/A and other securities filings (collectively, the “Filings”) referencing the transaction which such Filings shall not mention Seller's members by name. Except in such Filings, neither Seller nor Buyer shall disclose to any Person, other than an Affiliate of such Party, the financial or other terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, unless required to do so by a Governmental Body or Law or in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties hereto (and each employee, representative or other agent of a Party) may disclose to any and all Persons the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind that are provided to the Parties relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure.

7.9    Retention of Books and Records. For a period of five years after the Closing, the parties shall retain their books and records relating to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and shall make such books and records (or copies thereof) available to the other parties or their agents, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, after the Closing Date.

7.10    Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses; provided that any audit of Seller's financial statements conducted in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by Buyer.

7.11    Facility Lease. The Parties agree that the Facility Lease is an Excluded Liability for which Buyer has no liability whatsoever. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement and both

Parties acknowledging the Mutual Release between RWJ Enterprises, LLC and Seller dated July 19, 2013, Seller agrees to fully indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all claims or demands (including, the costs and expenses of any and all actions, suits, Proceedings, assessments, judgments, settlements and compromises relating thereto and reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable disbursements in connection therewith) that have been or may be asserted by RWJ Enterprises, LLC or any other Person for Seller's breach or nonperformance under the Facility Lease. Furthermore, Seller and Buyer acknowledge that at or before Closing, Buyer or one of its Affiliates will own the real property located at 000 Xxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx and will assume the legal position of RWJ Enterprises, LLC under the Facility Lease. At Closing, Buyer, or its appropriate Affiliate, and Seller agree to terminate the Facility Lease, and upon such termination, Buyer shall release Seller from any liability with respect to amounts payable pursuant to the Facility Lease, including without limitation basic rent, additional rent, taxes, insurance premiums, late fees, penalties, and interest, and/or repayment of any capital improvement loans made by the lessor under the Facility Lease to Seller pursuant to the Facility Lease or seek any other payments from Seller for the period between Buyer or its Affiliate's purchase of the facility and the Closing.

7.12    Formulae. Promptly following Closing, Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with any other formulae that may have been inadvertently omitted from Schedule 2.1.1.9, including, but not limited to, written set up sheets, set up procedures and operator know how (to the extent documented in writing) related to the formulae set forth on Schedule 2.1.1.9. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that Seller has possession of and access to certain customer-owned formulae. Although the parties agree that these customer-owned formulae are not part of the Purchased Assets, the customer-owned formulae that Seller has possession of and access to shall be listed separately on Schedule 2.1.1.9, and Seller shall grant possession of and access to such listed customer-owned formulae to Buyer at Closing. Buyer agrees to use reasonable care with respect to the customer-owned formulae in compliance with any applicable contracts with respect thereto.

7.13    “Tail” Insurance Coverage. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, the Tail Policy.

7.14    Customer Owned Inventory. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Seller historically has kept inventory owned by certain customers in its possession at its facility and that there will be such inventory at Seller's facility at Closing. The Parties agree that the customer owned inventory at Seller's facility at Closing (the “Customer Owned Inventory”) will be counted at or immediately prior to Closing. At Closing, Seller agrees to transfer possession and Buyer agrees to accept transfer of possession of the Customer Owned Inventory. Buyer agrees to act in good faith according to commercially reasonable standards to administer and manage the Customer Owned Inventory after Closing. Any disputes relating to Customer Owned Inventory shall be, if determined adversely to the Business by Buyer, in its sole discretion, paid by making a claim against the Tail Policy. The Parties agree that any customer owned inventory that Buyer accepts from a customer after Closing shall be excluded from the definition of Customer Owned Inventory.

SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION

8.1    Indemnification.

8.1.1    From and after the Closing Date and subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 8 (including Section 8.1.6 hereto), Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and each of its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, demands or suits (by any Person), losses, liabilities, damages, payments, costs and expenses (including, the costs and expenses of any and all actions, suits, Proceedings, assessments, judgments, settlements and compromises relating thereto and reasonable attorneys'

fees and reasonable disbursements in connection therewith) (each, an “Indemnifiable Loss”), asserted against or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party relating to, resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach by Seller of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement, (ii) any breach by Seller of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 hereof, (iii) any Excluded Liabilities, (iv) the quantity of the Customer Owned Inventory transferred by Seller to Buyer at Closing, and (v) any liability other than a an Assumed Liability arising out of the operation by Seller of the Business or its ownership, use or operation of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing.

8.1.2    From and after the Closing Date and subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 8), Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and each of its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, members and representatives (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses asserted against or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Party relating to, resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach by Buyer of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement, (ii) any breach by Buyer of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6 hereof, (iii) the Assumed Liabilities, (iv) the operation by Buyer of the Business or its ownership, use or operation of the Purchased Assets after the Closing, and (v) any claim or Proceeding made or brought by any shareholder of Buyer relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.1.3    Any Person entitled to receive indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnitee”) having a claim under these indemnification provisions shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover all losses, damages, costs and expenses from insurers of such Indemnitee under applicable insurance policies so as to reduce the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss hereunder. The amount of any Indemnifiable Loss shall be reduced to the extent that the Indemnitee has received any insurance proceeds with respect to an Indemnifiable Loss.

8.1.4    The rights and remedies of Seller and Buyer under this Section 8 (including Section 8.1.6) are exclusive and in lieu of such rights and remedies as Seller and Buyer may otherwise have under this Agreement, under applicable Law or in equity or otherwise for any breach of representation, breach of warranty or failure to fulfill any agreement or covenant hereunder on the part of any Party hereto (whether willful, intentional or otherwise), other than claims arising from fraud, intentional misconduct or criminal conduct on the part of a Party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.1.5    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Person (including an Indemnitee) shall be entitled to recover from any other Person (including any Party required to provide indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnifying Party”)) any amount in excess of the actual damages, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements suffered by such Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer and Seller hereby irrevocably waive any right to recover punitive, indirect, special, exemplary and consequential damages, including damages for lost profits, arising in connection with or with respect to this Agreement (other than with respect to indemnification for a Third Party Claim).

8.1.6    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8 to the contrary, all Indemnifiable Losses determined to be payable by the Seller hereunder shall be paid solely by the making of a claim against the Tail Policy (to the extent such claim would be covered thereby) and no other recourse by a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be sought against any of Seller, its officers, directors, members, employees, representatives or agents with respect thereto (including any Indemnifiable Losses which constitute a “deductible” under such Tail Policy), coverage under such Tail Policy being the sole and exclusive remedy of any Buyer Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim hereunder. In the event such Tail Policy does not cover an Indemnifiable Loss, the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party shall have no recourse against any of Seller, its officers, directors, members, employees, representatives or agents with respect thereto. The

Seller and the Buyer agree that the purpose of this Section 8.1.6 is to make it clear that the Buyer is to have no remedy against Seller, except as provided by this Section 8.1.6 or except in the case of a breach of Sections 5.1, 5.2.1 or 5.7 or in the case of fraud, intentional misconduct or criminal conduct. The Buyer acknowledges that this Section 8.1.6 has been negotiated fully by the Buyer and the Seller and that the Seller would not have entered into this Agreement but for the inclusion of this Section 8.1.6.

8.1.7    All of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) three (3) years after the Closing Date or (ii) expiration or termination of the Tail Policy, except that (a) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2.1, 5.7, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, at which time they shall lapse and (b) any representation or warranty as to which an Indemnifiable Loss shall have been asserted in writing during the applicable survival period (which writing shall state with specificity the nature and amount of such Indemnifiable Loss) shall continue in effect with respect to such Indemnifiable Loss until such Indemnifiable Loss shall have been finally resolved or settled, provided that notice of the inaccuracy or breach or potential inaccuracy or breach thereof or other claim giving rise to such right or potential right of indemnity shall have been given to the Party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall remain in effect until the expiration of such covenants and agreements pursuant to their express terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.13 shall survive until the date following the expiration of all periods allowed for objecting or appealing the final determination of any Proceedings relating to any assessment, reassessment or additional assessment of Seller by any Governmental Body in respect of any Tax period ending prior to the Closing Date. For these purposes, a final determination shall mean either (w) the expiry of the delay to appeal from or object to the relevant assessment, reassessment or additional assessment by the Taxing Authority if no appeal is taken or no objection is made, or (x) the entering into of any agreement by Seller and a said Taxing Authority in settlement of a dispute regarding such assessment, reassessment, additional assessment or proposed assessment, reassessment or additional assessment or (y) the decision by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction regarding the relevant assessment, reassessment or additional assessment from which no appeal may be taken, or (z) the expiry of the period during which an appeal may be taken from a decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction regarding the relevant assessment, reassessment or additional assessment. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim for breach of Section 5.3 by Seller or any breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in this Agreement involving fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect without limitation of time.

8.1.8    Defense of Claims. If any Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any claim, action, or Proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or any Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which indemnification is to be sought from an Indemnifying Party, the following terms and provisions shall apply:

8.1.8.1 The Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any Third Party Claim which might give rise to a claim for indemnification, which notice shall state the nature and basis of the assertion and the amount thereof, to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in giving notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation to indemnify unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay.

8.1.8.2 If any Third Party Claim is brought against an Indemnitee with respect to which the Indemnifying Party may have an obligation to indemnify, the Third Party Claim may be defended by the Indemnifying Party, by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of such Claim.

8.1.8.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous subsection, until the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the defense shall be handled by the Indemnitee. Furthermore, (i) if the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there are likely to be defenses available to the Indemnitee that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party; (ii) if the Indemnifying Party fails to provide the Indemnitee with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources to defend and fulfill its indemnification obligation with respect to the Third Party Claims; (iii) if the Third Party Claim involves other than money damages and seeks injunctive or other equitable relief; (iv) if the Third Party Claim is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is an employee, contractor, supplier, vendor or customer of Buyer; or (v) if a judgment against the Indemnitee will, in the good faith opinion of the Indemnitee, establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interests of its continuing business, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim and the defense shall be handled by the Indemnitee. If the defense of the Third Party Claim is handled by the Indemnitee under the provisions of this subsection, the Indemnifying Party shall pay all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in conducting such defense.

8.1.8.4 In any Third Party Claim defended by the Indemnifying Party (i) the Indemnitee shall have the right to be represented by advisory counsel and accountants, at its own expense, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnitee fully informed as to the status of such Third Party Claim at all stages thereof, whether or not the Indemnitee is represented by its own counsel, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnitee, and its attorneys, accountants and other representatives, all books and records of the Indemnifying Party relating to such Third Party Claim and (iv) the parties shall render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of the Third Party Claim.

8.1.8.5 In any Third Party Claim, the party defending the same shall not make any settlement of any claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be deemed unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement involving injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee or its assets, employees or business, or relief which the Indemnitee reasonably believes could establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interests of its continuing business.

8.1.9    Adjustments to Purchase Price. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise provided by law.

SECTION 9. OTHER PROVISIONS

9.1    Fees and Expenses.
