If the Closing Cash Consideration, as finally determined, is less than the Estimated Closing Cash Consideration (an “Overpayment”), then Purchaser and Seller shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release out of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow an amount equal to the Overpayment and distribute the remainder of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount, if any, to Seller. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Overpayment is greater than the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount, then Purchaser may, at its option, either (1) instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrow Fund, by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of such difference, or (2) require Seller to pay such difference to Purchaser by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser, in which case Seller shall make such payment as directed by Purchaser. Any payments required to be made under this Section 2.5(b) shall be payable no later than 15 business days after the determination of such amounts.

2.6 Accounting Dispute Resolution. If there are remaining disputes under Section 2.5(a), Purchaser and Seller shall submit the disputed items (and only the disputed items) for resolution to an independent accounting firm mutually appointed by Purchaser and Seller (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), who shall determine and report to the parties and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the rights of any Purchaser Indemnified Person to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.1 are an essential part of the economic terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. An Purchaser Indemnified Person’s rights to indemnification under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or eliminated or otherwise affected by the fact that such Purchaser Indemnified Person, or any of its directors, officers, employees or advisors, was at any time prior to or as of the Closing or the execution of this Agreement aware (or should have become aware) of any fact (including that any representation or warranty was untrue or incorrect or that any covenant or agreement had been breached) other than as set forth in this Agreement or the Target Disclosure Schedules.

(f) Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties shall treat any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement by Seller as an adjustment to the Cash Consideration for income Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by Law.

(g) Purchaser Indemnification. Purchaser shall indemnify the Equityholders and each of respective agents, representatives, officers, directors and employees, (the “Equityholder Recipient Indemnitees”) against and from all Damages incurred by any Equityholder Recipient Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or by virtue of (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty made by Purchaser to Seller in Section 4; (b) any material breach by Purchaser of any of the covenants or obligations made by them under this Agreement (including the obligations under this Article 8) or (c) any Assumed Liabilities; provided that, this Section 8.1(g) shall not restrict the Purchaser Indemnified Persons from seeking recovery for breaches of the representations and warranties as provided in this Agreement. Any claim pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) may be made only by Seller on behalf of the Equityholders or in the event Seller experiences a change of control, dissolution or otherwise winds up its affairs, Seller’s designee. Parent hereby unconditionally guarantees Seller it will satisfy any indemnification obligation of Purchaser or its Affiliates to the Equity Recipient Indemnitees that Purchaser or its Affiliates does not fulfill.

For the avoidance of doubt, the survival period in this Section 8.1 is intended to and hereby does replace the applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to a claim for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement.

8.2 Escrow Period; Release From Escrow. The remaining Escrow Amount (after satisfaction of any indemnification claims) shall be delivered to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Percentages within five Business Days following the Termination Date; provided, however, that any amount contained in a Pending Claims Account shall be retained by the Escrow Agent until such claims have been resolved.

8.3 Claims Process. On or before the Termination Date, promptly after becoming aware of the existence of potential Damages or a Third-Party Claim, Purchaser shall be entitled to deliver to the Escrow Agent and Seller a certificate signed by an officer of Purchaser (an “Officer’s Certificate”) stating Purchaser’s good faith belief that Damages exist (or are reasonably expected to exist with respect to an identified matter) or that there has been an assertion in writing against any Purchaser Indemnified Person of a claim, demand, suit, action, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or proceeding brought by a third party against any Purchaser Indemnified Person (in each such case, a “Third-Party Claim”) that if successfully prosecuted, would give rise to the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties set forth in Section 8.1, and specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, or properly accrued or arose, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or claim to which such item is related. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Officer’s Certificate is given on or prior to the Termination Date, no delay on the part of the Purchaser in giving the Indemnifying Parties an Officer’s Certificate shall limit or reduce the Indemnifying Party’s right to indemnity hereunder, nor relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations, unless an Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced thereby. Upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate, the Escrow Agent will, as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement, segregate from the Escrow Funds into a separate account (the “Pending Claims Account”) a portion of the Escrow Amount as necessary to satisfy and pay (if and when it is determined that such amount is owed) the amount of the claim as stated in the Officer’s Certificate. The Escrow Agent will distribute the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, if Damages exceed the available Escrow Funds, Purchaser is hereby authorized at any time thereafter and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to obtain repayment from the Equityholders to the extent any Escrow Funds or Cash Consideration has already been paid to the Equityholders (and the Equityholders shall promptly facilitate each of the foregoing remedies). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to recover under this Agreement unless an Officer’s Certificate has been delivered to Seller on or before the applicable survival period for such claim provided in Section 8.1. If Seller shall object in writing to any claim or claims by Purchaser made in any Officer’s Certificate, Purchaser shall have 30 days to respond in a written statement to the objection of Seller. If after such 30 day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, Seller and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith for an additional period of up to 45 days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims, provided that if no agreement is reached, no amounts shall be owed by the Indemnifying Parties or recoverable by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons until a final decision, judgment or award has been rendered with respect to the indemnification matters set forth in the Officer’s Certificate (including a declaratory or similar judgment that the Purchaser Identified Persons are entitled to indemnification) and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired.

8.4 Third-Party Claims. In the event a Purchaser Indemnified Person becomes aware of a Third-Party Claim that Purchaser believes may result in an indemnification claim pursuant to this Section 8, Purchaser shall notify Seller of such claim (but the failure to deliver such notice shall not limit Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement). Purchaser shall consult with Seller prior to entering into a settlement of any claim that would result in Damages being paid from the Escrow Funds or by the Indemnifying Parties. Purchaser shall not settle, compromise or otherwise resolve any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have no right to consent to the part of any such settlement, compromise or resolution which does not have any adverse impact on or cost to the Indemnifying Party. In the event that Seller has consented to any settlement of a Third-Party Claim with regard to a specific dollar amount of Damages, neither Seller nor the Equityholders shall have any power to dispute (under Section 8.3, Section 8.4 or otherwise) Purchaser’s right to indemnity hereunder with respect to such settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller’s outside legal counsel shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim at its own cost and expense to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties would reasonably be likely to have exposure beyond the Initial Escrow Amount.

8.5 Limitations on Recovery.

(a) Sole and Exclusive Remedy Pursuant to this Agreement. Following the Closing, the indemnification rights provided in this Section 8 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Damages of any kind or nature arising out of or in connection with any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise, other than in accordance with Section 9.12 hereof and with respect to Fraud by any Equityholder, provided that recovery for Fraud by an Equityholder may only be recovered from such Equityholder. The parties may not avoid the limitations on liability, recovery and recourse set forth in this Article 8 by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory or liability. Nothing in this Section 8.5(a) shall prevent or prohibit a party from seeking and/or obtaining specific performance in accordance with Section 9.12.

(b) Cap on Liability. The recourse of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Agreement with respect to: (i) the Standard Representations (except for Section 3.14(c)(i)) shall be limited to the Escrow Amount (until released); (ii) Section 3.14(c)(i) shall be limited to the Escrow Amount (until released); and (iii) with respect to all other matters (other than with respect to Fraud by any Equityholder or its Affiliates) shall be limited to the Cash Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, only the perpetrator of Fraud may be liable in excess of the Cash Consideration. With respect to any situation in which multiple sections are applicable, the higher limit shall be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any Equityholder’s liability for Damages hereunder exceed the amount of proceeds actually received by such Equityholder as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except in the case of Fraud by such Equityholder.

(c) Threshold for Certain Claims. No claim for Damages shall be made with respect to the Standard Representations unless all Damages of all Purchaser Indemnified Persons hereunder, in the aggregate, exceed $875,000, in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification for all Damages from the first dollar (without regard to the limitation set forth in this Section 8.5(c)).

(d) No Limitation on Additional Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit (A) recovery or recourse of the Purchaser or its Affiliates from a Person that enters Employment Documents or other agreements in connection with this Agreement to the extent that such Employment Documents or other agreements pursuant to its terms permits such recourse or remedy by the Purchaser or its Affiliates; or (b) the liability in amount or otherwise of any Equityholder with respect to Fraud by such Equityholder.

(e) No Subrogation. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that an Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8, the Indemnifying Parties shall not be entitled to exercise, or be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that the Purchaser Indemnified Person or any of its subsidiaries or other Affiliates may have against any other Person with respect to any Damages, circumstances or matter to which such indemnification is directly or indirectly related.

(f) Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to recover under Section 8:

(i) to the extent Damages are actually paid by insurance (including title insurance), indemnification rights or similar rights to recovery, and Purchaser or Purchaser Indemnified Persons receives payment thereunder; and

(ii) to the extent such Damages are taken into account or reserved for in the calculation of the Closing Cash Consideration (and Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall only be entitled to recover, subject to the other applicable limitations provided herein, in excess of such reserve).

(g) In calculating the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8, the amount of any Damages shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by any Purchaser (or its Affiliates) or Purchaser Indemnified Person under the R&W Insurance Policy with respect to such Damages. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any such amount from the R&W Insurance Policy (including taking commercially reasonable steps to appeal any denial of a claim). If payment from the R&W Insurance Policy is received by Purchaser after indemnification is received by Purchaser hereunder, Purchaser shall promptly pay to the applicable Equityholders the amount recovered by it from the R&W Insurance Policy for which Purchaser had been otherwise indemnified hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser will not be required to refund amounts actually received from an insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy to the extent a Purchaser Indemnified Person’s total Damages exceed the limits in the R&W Insurance Policy.

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Purchaser Indemnified Person be entitled to indemnification, reimbursement or other recovery for any amount to the extent any Purchaser Indemnified Person has already been indemnified or reimbursed for such amount under any other provisions of this Agreement.

(i) Subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Article 8 and the Escrow Agreement, any Damages payable by an Indemnifying Party to any Purchaser Indemnified Person pursuant to Article 5 or this Article 8 shall be payable (i) first, to the extent applicable and not released, from the Escrow Amount up to the amount of the R&W Insurance Policy Retention (such amount the “Initial Escrow Amount”) in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, (ii) second, to the extent the Damages exceed the Initial Escrow Amount or in the event the Initial Escrow Amount is released, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, by recovery from the R&W Insurance Policy and (iii) third, to the extent the Damages exceed the Initial Escrow Amount or in the event the Initial Escrow Amount is released and the R&W Insurance Policy limits are exhausted or coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy is unavailable (subject to Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to the second sentence of Section 8.5(g)), subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, then recovery may be sought from the remainder of the Escrow Amount and the Indemnifying Parties as may be permitted pursuant to this Section 8. For purposes of clarity, except in the case of Fraud, Purchaser and Parent acknowledge and agree that any Purchaser Indemnified Person must first make claims for payment for any such liability, to the extent covered under the R&W Insurance Policy, against the R&W Insurance Policy. The R&W Insurance Policy shall be deemed to have been paid by all of the Equityholders to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Persons (regardless of which loss payee is actually paid under the R&W Insurance Policy) and such deemed payment shall be taken into account when determining the Equityholders liability hereunder, if any.

(j) No exculpation from liability, right of indemnification, advancement or other recovery in favor of any director or officer of any Group Company shall be applicable to benefit such individual to the extent such recovery would reduce any Damages of a Purchaser Indemnified Person that the Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to recovery for hereunder.

9.2 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. The Group Companies will take all such commercially reasonable and lawful action as may be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the Closing in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as possible. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Purchaser with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Seller, the officers and directors of Seller are fully authorized in the name of Seller or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

9.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

9.4 Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest; Assignment. This Agreement, the Transaction Agreements, the exhibits and schedules hereto including the Target Disclosure Schedule and the Confidentiality Agreement, together constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the letter of intent, dated October 3, 2019 and as amended on January 4, 2020. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights, and this Agreement does not confer any such rights, upon any other Person. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the written consent of Purchaser.

9.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies expressly conferred in this Agreement upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy expressly conferred by this Agreement, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy under this Agreement will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy expressly conferred by this Agreement.

9.7 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any choice or conflict of Laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents and agrees that it will only bring any action, suit or proceeding with respect to any matter arising under or relating to this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if jurisdiction is not available in such court, then in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, if jurisdiction is not available in such court, then in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware) (together with the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts, the “Chosen Courts”). Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably accepts and submits, for itself and in respect of its properties, to the personal jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit, or proceeding. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court by the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Party at the address specified in Section 9.1 for notices to such Party. In addition to or in lieu of any such service, service of process may also be made in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection or defense that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue to any such action, suit, or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim that any such action, suit, or proceeding brought in such Chosen Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

9.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY ANY OF THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY ALSO WAIVES ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND THAT MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF SUCH PARTY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MIGHT BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT MAY RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, MODIFICATIONS, SUPPLEMENTS OR RESTATEMENTS HEREOF. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

9.9 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. References herein to a Section shall be deemed to also refer to all subsections under such Section (e.g. a reference to Section 3.14(b) would be deemed to refer to Section 3.14(b)(i) and Section 3.14(b)(ii) and any subsections thereunder as well). The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. All references in this Agreement that provide that documents have been “delivered to Purchaser” or “provided to Purchaser” shall be deemed satisfied solely to the extent that (a) the applicable document(s) was provided in the Electronic Data Room at least one day prior to the date hereof or (b) delivered via e-mail to Purchaser’s legal counsel or an employee of Purchaser engaged in the negotiation or due diligence investigation regarding this transaction on or prior to the date hereof. Further, (a) each term defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it, (b) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning commonly applied to it in accordance with GAAP, (c) all references to $ or dollar amounts will be to lawful currency of the United States, (d) to the extent the term “day” or “days” is used, it will mean calendar days, (e) reference to, and the definition of, any document shall be deemed a reference to such document as it may be amended, supplemented, revised, or modified, in writing, from time to time, (f) reference to any Law shall be construed as a reference to such Law as re-enacted, redesignated, amended or extended from time to time prior to the date hereof, (g) the information contained in the Schedules is disclosed solely for the purposes of this Agreement (h) when calculating the period of time within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next Business Day, and (i) the phrases “provided to,” “made available,” “furnished to,” and phrases of similar import when used in this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, shall mean, with respect to any statement in this Agreement to the effect that any information, document, or other material has been “delivered” or “provided” to the Purchaser or its legal counsel, that such information, document, or material was (x) to the Company’s Knowledge, true and correct at the time it was made available or delivered to the Purchaser or its legal counsel and (y) made available for review by the Purchaser or its representatives in the Data Room, in each case, at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date.

9.10 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended and any provision hereof may be waived at any time, in each case, only by execution of an instrument in writing signed by each of Purchaser and Seller. The failure of a party to exercise any of its rights hereunder or to insist upon strict adherence to any term or condition hereof on any one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to the terms and conditions of this Agreement at a later date. Further, no waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other term of condition hereof (whether or not similar) unless explicitly waived.

9.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Unless a provision of this Agreement specifically grants a right or benefit to a third party, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement and no third party has any rights under this Agreement or any of its provisions.

9.12 Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. Purchaser and Seller each agree that Seller’s business is unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages would be inadequate and would have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Purchaser and Seller each agree that each party that is harmed by a breach of this Agreement shall have the right, in addition to any other lawful rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and its counterparty’s obligations under this Agreement not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages. If any such action is brought by a party to enforce this Agreement, the party against whom such action is brought hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

9.13 Target Disclosure Schedule. No disclosure of any matter contained in the applicable Target Disclosure Schedule shall create an implication that such matter meets any standard of materiality (matters reflected in the applicable Target Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the applicable Target Disclosure Schedule; such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature, nor shall the inclusion of any item be construed as implying that any such item is “material” for any purpose).

9.14 Waiver of Conflict; Treatment of Company Confidential Information. The parties acknowledge and agree that subsequent to the Closing, any Equityholder (collectively, the “Former Holders” or individually, the “Former Holder”) shall have the right to retain Pillsbury Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx LLP (“Pillsbury”) to represent any Former Holder’s interest(s) in any dispute even if such representation relates to or arises out of this Agreement, the exhibits to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any Purchaser (collectively, the “Dispute”). The Purchaser and Parent and each of their subsidiaries hereby irrevocably waive, consent to and covenant not to assert any objection, based on conflict of interest or otherwise, to any representation of any Former Holder by Pillsbury in any Dispute. The Purchaser further agrees that, as to all pre-Closing privileged or otherwise protected materials relating to Pillsbury and the Dispute including materials protected by the attorney-client privilege, work product, the expectation of client confidence and all other rights to any applicable privilege or immunity (“Privileged Deal Materials”) are hereby (i) deemed the sole property of the Seller and (ii) shall only be controlled, reviewed, utilized or otherwise accessed by the Seller and shall not pass to or be claimed by any Purchaser on any ground, including waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that Privileged Deal Materials do not include communications that constitute evidence of Fraud by the Former Holders or the Seller. Except as to the Privileged Deal Materials, any other pre-Closing privileged communications maintained by the Seller shall be the sole property of the Seller.

9.15 Limitation on Warranties. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that except as expressly set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement or as expressly set forth by any Group Company in any Transaction Agreement, none of the Group Companies or any of its representatives has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, to Purchaser or any of its representatives in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Group Companies by Purchaser and its Affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives or advisors, Purchaser and its Affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and advisors have received and may continue to receive, after the date of this Agreement, from the Group Companies and their respective Affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, representatives and advisors certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward looking information, as well as certain business plan information, regarding the Group Companies and the businesses and operations thereof. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward looking statements, as well as in such business plans, and that Purchaser will have no claim against the Group Companies, or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, representatives or advisors, or any other person with respect thereto unless any such information is expressly addressed or included in a representation or warranty contained in Section 3 of this Agreement or as expressly set forth in any Transaction Agreement by any Group Company. Accordingly, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Group Companies nor any of their Affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, representatives or advisors, nor any other person, has made or is making any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward looking statements or business plans unless any such information is expressly addressed or included in a representation or warranty contained in Section 3 of this Agreement or as expressly set forth in any Transaction Agreement by any Group Company.
