Section 2.04 Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date hereof, the Selling Shareholders shall have caused the Company to prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the (i) Unearned Revenue Amount, (ii) Company Debt Amount, (iii) Company Cash Amount, (iv) Transaction Expenses, (v) Estimated Working Capital and (vi) Estimated Working Capital Change Amount, each determined in accordance with this Agreement. The Preliminary Closing Statement has been prepared by the Company in good faith in accordance with Exhibit A and has been certified by the Seller Representative to be their good faith estimate of all such items as of the Closing Date.

(b) As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date and in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare a statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the (i) Unearned Revenue Amount, (ii) Company Debt Amount, (iii) Company Cash Amount, (iv) Transaction Expenses, (v) Closing Working Capital and (vi) Closing Working Capital Change Amount, each determined in accordance with this Agreement. The Final Closing Statement shall be prepared by Purchaser in good faith in accordance with Exhibit A and shall be certified by an officer of Purchaser to be its good faith calculation of all such items as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall promptly provide the Seller Representative with such information and documentation as the Selling Shareholders reasonably requests to allow the Seller Representative to examine the accuracy of the Final Closing Statement.

(i) After the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Final Closing Statement, the Seller Representative and his representatives (including the Selling Shareholders’ independent auditors, counsel and financial advisors) shall have thirty (30) days to review the Final Closing Statement and the working papers relating thereto. The Final Closing Statement (and the calculations contained therein) shall become final, binding and conclusive on the thirtieth (30^th) day following delivery thereof, unless the Seller Representatives give written notice of their disagreement with the Final Closing Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Purchaser prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and (ii) only include disagreements based on mathematical or factual errors, errors of interpretation, or based on the Closing Purchase Price, or any component thereof, not being calculated in accordance with this Agreement.

(ii) During the thirty (30) day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement (the “Resolution Period”), the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement (the “Disputed Items”), and all other items (and all calculations relating thereto) will be final, binding and conclusive. Any resolution by the Seller Representative and Purchaser during the Resolution Period as to any Disputed Item shall be set forth in writing and will be final, binding and conclusive.

(iii) At the end of the Resolution Period, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall submit to the Firm any and all Disputed Items remaining in dispute (and only such items). The Firm shall be an independent public accounting firm or consulting firm as shall be agreed upon by the Seller Representative and Purchaser in writing (the “Firm”). The Firm shall determine only those Disputed Items remaining in dispute, consistent with this Section 2.04(c), and shall request a statement from the Selling Shareholders and Purchaser regarding such Disputed Items. In resolving each Disputed Item, the Firm may not assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such Disputed Item claimed by any party or less than the lowest value for such Disputed Item claimed by any party. The Selling Shareholders and Purchaser shall give the Firm access to all documents, records, work papers, facilities and personnel of such party as reasonably necessary to perform its function as arbitrator. If any party fails to submit a statement regarding any Disputed Item submitted to the Firm within the time determined by the Firm or otherwise fails to give the Firm access as reasonably requested, then the Firm shall render a decision based solely on the evidence timely submitted and the access afforded to the Firm by the Seller Representative and Purchaser. The Firm shall be instructed to deliver to the Seller Representative and Purchaser, within thirty (30) days following submission, a written determination of the Disputed Items submitted to the Firm, which determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Purchaser in a timely manner, then the Final Closing Statement shall become final, conclusive and binding upon the Selling Shareholders and Purchaser on the earlier of (A) the date the Seller Representative and Purchaser resolve in writing all Disputed Items and (B) the date any Disputed Items are finally resolved in writing by the Firm. The final, binding and conclusive Final Closing Statement based upon agreement or deemed agreement (due to the Selling Shareholders not objecting to the Final Closing Statement delivered by Purchaser as provided above) by the Selling Shareholders and Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) and/or written determination delivered by the Firm in accordance with this Section 2.04(c), will be the “Conclusive Closing Statement”. The fees and expenses of the Firm incurred pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) will be paid one-half (1/2) by the Purchaser on the one hand, and one half by the Selling Shareholders on the other hand, provided, however, if the Firm determines the Disputed Items to be within 20% of the Selling Shareholders’ calculation of such Disputed Items as set forth in the Notice of Disagreement, then Purchaser shall be responsible for 100% of the fees and expenses of the Firm, and if the Firm determines the Disputed Items to be within 20% of the Purchaser’s calculation of such Disputed Items as set forth in the Final Closing Statement, then the Selling Shareholders shall be responsible for 100% of the fees and expenses of the Firm. The fees and disbursements of the Selling Shareholders’ independent auditors and other advisors incurred in connection with their review of the Final Closing Statement and preparation of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by the Selling Shareholders, and the fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s independent auditors and other advisors incurred in connection with their preparation of the Final Closing Statement and review of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by Purchaser.

(d) After the amount of the Closing Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.04(c), an adjusting payment shall be made as follows:

(i) the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount by which the Closing Purchase Price on the Conclusive Closing Statement exceeds the Closing Purchase Price set forth on the Preliminary Closing Statement, and

(ii) the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount by which the Closing Purchase Price on the Conclusive Closing Statement is less than the Closing Purchase Price on the Preliminary Closing Statement (the amount of such increase or decrease being referred to herein as the “Closing Purchase Price Adjustment”).

Within ten (10) Business Days after the Conclusive Closing Statement becomes final and binding on the parties, (A) the Purchaser shall, if the amount of the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment is positive, make payment by wire transfer to the previously designated bank account or accounts, as appropriate, of the Selling Shareholders, as applicable, in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment or (B) if the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment is negative, the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment shall be deducted from the Holdback Amount and retained by the Purchaser.

(e) The Estimated Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital shall be calculated (i) using only the same line items listed on Exhibit A which were used to determine the Target Working Capital, (ii) in accordance with the principles set forth on Exhibit A, which was used to determine the elements of Target Working Capital, consistently applied, and (iii) with regard to any element of Working Capital not provided for on Exhibit A, using GAAP consistently applied. The adjustment for Working Capital contemplated by this Section 2.04 is intended to show the change, if any, between the Closing Working Capital and the Target Working Capital, and such change can only be measured if the calculation is made in the same way and in accordance with Exhibit A for both calculations. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Firm shall be limited to (i) with respect to the Estimated Working Capital and Closing Working Capital, whether such calculations were done in accordance with Exhibit A or, with regard to any element of Working Capital not provided for on Exhibit A, GAAP, (ii) with respect to all other items on the Final Closing Statement, whether such items were calculated in accordance with this Agreement, and (iii) whether there were mathematical errors or error of interpretation in the Final Closing Statement, and the Firm is not to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether Exhibit A was prepared in accordance with GAAP. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Firm is not authorized or permitted to make any determination as to the accuracy of the amount of Target Working Capital, Section 3.05, or any other representation or warranty in this Agreement or as to compliance by the Selling Shareholders with any of their covenants in this Agreement (other than in this Section 2.04). Any determinations by the Firm, and any work or analyses performed by the Firm, in connection with its resolution of any Disputed Item under this Section 2.04 shall not be admissible in evidence in any Proceeding among the parties other than to the extent necessary to enforce payment obligations under Section 2.04(c).

(f) During the period of time from and after the Closing Date through the resolution of any adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.04, Purchaser shall afford, and shall cause the Company to afford, to the Selling Shareholders, its representatives and advisors (including any accountants, counsel or financial advisers) retained by the Selling Shareholders in connection with any adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.04, reasonable access during normal business hours to all the books, records and working papers used in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company relevant to the adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.04.

Section 2.05 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Company to deduct and withhold to the extent able, from the consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement to any Person, any amounts required to be withheld with respect to the payment of such consideration under Applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and remitted, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 5.05 Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality.

(a) Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall not, directly or indirectly, acting alone, as a member of any partnership or other business entity, as a holder of capital stock of any class or as an officer, director, employee, consultant, agent or representative of any corporation or other business entity:

(i) during the period ending on the later of (A) four years after the Closing Date or (B) three years after the date on which such Selling Shareholder’s employment ceases with the Company, (1) engage in the design, development, testing, marketing, production, sale and/or distribution of products of a type competitive with those designed, developed, tested, marketed, produced, sold or distributed in the Business or the provision of services of a type competitive with those provided in the Business anywhere in the world, as the Business was conducted during the two (2) year period ending immediately prior to the Closing Date or such termination of employment, as applicable, (2) divert or attempt to divert any business or customer for such products or services, by direct or indirect inducement, (3) otherwise do or perform, directly or indirectly, any other act injurious or prejudicial to the sale of such products or services by Purchaser or the Company (provided, however that personal conduct of any Selling Shareholder unrelated to the Company or its products shall not be actionable hereunder), or (4) extend, or assist in arranging the extension of, any credit to any Person for the purpose of establishing, acquiring or otherwise conducting any such business or other activity prohibited by clause (1) above; provided, however, that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.05a)i) shall not restrict the acquisition by the Selling Shareholders, directly or indirectly, of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of any publicly traded company engaged in the Business or in the provision of services of a type competitive with those provided in the Business; or

Nothing herein shall prohibit general solicitations for employment, which in good faith are not specifically targeted at employees or former employees of the Company.

(b) From and after the date hereof, the Selling Shareholders shall not and shall cause their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of Purchaser or the Company or use or otherwise exploit for their own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than the Company, any Confidential Information. The Selling Shareholders and their Affiliates shall not have any obligation to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by Applicable Law, the Selling Shareholder required to make such disclosure shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide Purchaser with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order. For purposes of this Section 5.05(b), “Confidential Information” means any information with respect to the Business, including methods of operation, customers, customer lists, products, prices, fees, costs, Company Intellectual Property, inventions, trade secrets, know-how, Owned Software, marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets or other specialized information or proprietary matters. Confidential Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally available

to the public on the date of this Agreement or (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise permissible hereunder. Notwithstanding, the above, the Selling Shareholders may share such Confidential Information with their legal and financial advisors to the extent necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, or to pursue enforcement or defend against any actions arising under this Agreement.

(c) It is the desired intent of the Selling Shareholders and Purchaser that the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.05 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, the Selling Shareholders and the Purchaser agree that if the covenants set forth in this Section 5.05 are deemed by any court or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the court or arbitrator may reduce the scope thereof or otherwise amend or reform the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such reduction, amendment or reformation to apply only with respect to the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. The Selling Shareholders acknowledge that Purchaser has no adequate remedy at law for any breach or any threatened or attempted breach by any Selling Shareholders of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 5.05 and, accordingly, the Selling Shareholders agree that Purchaser shall, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to it hereunder or at law, be entitled to commence proceedings in equity and obtain an injunction temporarily or permanently enjoining any Selling Shareholders from breaching or threatening or attempting any such breach of such covenants and agreements and to require compliance by any Selling Shareholders with such covenants and agreements. For purposes of any such proceeding in equity, it shall be presumed that the remedies at Law available to Purchaser would be inadequate, and that Purchaser would suffer irreparable harm as a result of the violation of any provision of this Section 5.05.

Section 5.06 Release by Selling Shareholders.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Selling Shareholders hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably release and discharge, fully, finally and forever, the Company and its Subsidiaries, employees, managers, partners, directors, officers, agents, attorneys, plan administrators, consultants, advisors and representatives and the respective heirs, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (together, the “Company Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, rights, causes of action, proceedings, orders, remedies, obligations, damages and liabilities of whatsoever kind or character arising as a result of any event or condition, or action or inaction of the Company Released Parties related to the Company and its operations, from the beginning of time until the Closing Date, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, both at Law and in equity, which the Selling Shareholders ever had, now has, or ever may have, against any Company Released Parties, including in the Selling Shareholders’ capacity as a stockholder of the Company and pursuant to any Contract between the Selling Shareholders and a Company Released Party (the “Selling Shareholder’s Claims”); provided, however, that Selling Shareholders’ Claims shall not include (i) any claims for benefits or compensation that such Selling Shareholder may have in respect of his or her rights under the terms of any Company Benefit Plans, or (ii) any claims or rights, including rights of defense, arising out of this Agreement or any documents, agreements or certificates executed or entered into by Purchaser or Selling Shareholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(i) Xxxxx Xxxxxx, on behalf of the Selling Shareholders, shall file with the Internal Revenue Service or cause to be filed when due (taking into account any applicable extensions), Form 1120S and all related forms in connection with the short tax year of the Company beginning on January 1, 2018 and ending on the Closing Date (the “Short Year Return”), and the Selling Shareholders shall pay all Taxes due in respect of such Short Year Return. The Company shall file, or cause to be filed, when due all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date and shall pay all Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with the past practice and custom of the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, in preparing its Tax Returns, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

(ii) Other than the Short Year Return, the Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that have not yet been filed as of the Closing Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, any payment required by this Section 5.09(a)(iii) shall not be made from the Holdback Amount except in the sole discretion of Purchaser and no payment obligation pursuant to this Section 5.09(a)(iii) shall excuse the Selling Shareholders from their indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(iv) if the amount of Taxes, as ultimately determined on audit or otherwise, for the periods covered by such Tax Returns exceeds the amount of the Selling Shareholders’ payment under this Section 5.09(a)(iii).

For purposes of determining the portion of Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period which are attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, any liability for Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the portion of such period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and the portion beginning after the Closing Date (i) in the case of real property, business personal property and ad valorem Taxes, by apportioning such Taxes on a per diem basis and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, as if such Straddle Period ended, and the books of the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, closed, as of the end of the day on the Closing Date.

(c) Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all Tax allocation, Tax indemnification or Tax sharing agreements (other than customary commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business the primary purpose of which does not relate to Taxes) between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any other Person shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, from and after the Closing Date, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be obligated to make any payment pursuant to any such agreement for any past or future period.

(d) Section 338(h)(10) Election. At Purchaser’s option, each of the Company and each of the Selling Shareholders shall join with Purchaser in making a timely election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign Tax Law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). In furtherance of the preceding sentence, each of the Selling Shareholders shall execute and deliver to Purchaser such documents or forms as Purchaser shall reasonably request or as are required by Applicable Law to effect the Section 338(h)(10) Election (the “Section 338 Forms”). The Selling Shareholders shall include any income, gain,

loss, deduction, or other Tax item resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Elections on their Tax Returns to the extent required by Applicable Law and shall take no position inconsistent with treating the purchase by Purchaser of the Shares as a transaction to which Section 338(h)(10) of the Code applies, except as required by a Taxing Authority upon final resolution of an audit or other examination. The Selling Shareholders and Purchaser shall cooperate fully, and in good faith, with each other in making the Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(e) Allocation of Purchase Price. Each of the Selling Shareholders and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price and any liabilities of the Company (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the assets of the Company for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting purposes) in a manner consistent with the Closing Working Capital and the final Closing Statement, and consistent with Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare an allocation of the deemed sale price of the assets of the Company (the “Section 338 Allocations”) among the assets of the Company in accordance with Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Purchaser shall deliver a proposed draft of the Section 338 Allocations to the Selling Shareholders within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders shall then cooperate in good faith to agree to and finalize the Section 338 Allocations. The Selling Shareholders and Purchaser shall each cooperate fully with each other and make available to each other, respectively, such Tax data and other information as may be reasonably required in order to timely complete the Section 338 Allocations. If the parties reach agreement as to the Section 338 Allocations, the Selling Shareholders and Purchaser shall each report, for Tax purposes, the transactions contemplated herein consistent with the agreed to Section 338 Allocations and shall not assert, in connection with any examination, claim, adjustment or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes (except as otherwise required by Applicable Law), any Tax items inconsistent with the agreed to Section 338 Allocations, except in each case to the extent required to reflect an adjustment to the Purchase Price occurring after the Section 338 Allocations are agreed to by the Selling Shareholders and Purchaser. If the parties are unable to agree as to the Section 338 Allocations within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, then each of the Selling Shareholders and Purchaser may adopt their own positions regarding the Section 338 Allocations.

(f) S Corporation Status. The Company (on or before the Closing Date) and Selling Shareholders shall not revoke the Company’s election to be taxed as an “S corporation” within the meaning of Sections 1361 and 1362 of the Code for federal (and, where applicable, state and local) Tax purposes. Except for the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company (on or before the Closing Date) and each of its Subsidiaries and Selling Shareholders shall not take any action or allow any action to be taken that would result in the termination of the Company’s status as a validly electing “S corporation” within the meaning of Sections 1361 and 1362 of the Code for federal (and, where applicable, state and local) Tax purposes.

(g) Cooperation. Each of Purchaser, the Company any each of its Subsidiaries and each of the Selling Shareholders shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by them with respect to the preparation of any Tax Returns, any Tax audit or other examination in connection with a Proceeding involving a Taxing Authority and the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.09.

(h) Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 5.09 shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the obligation to pay the relevant Taxes covered thereby.

(i) Tax Treatment of Adjustments. Except as otherwise required by Law, any amounts which may become payable under Article II will constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all applicable Tax purposes.

Section 5.10 Employee Retention Plan. As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Purchaser shall approve and adopt the employee retention plan in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Employee Retention Plan”).

Section 5.11 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and Purchaser and the Company, on the other, shall, from time to time, without further cost or expense to such party, execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other actions as may reasonably be requested by another party hereto in order to more effectively evidence the sale, transfer, assignment and delivery of the Shares or any other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.03 Calculation of Losses.

(a) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification hereunder to the extent that such indemnification would constitute a duplicative payment for the same Loss, and the Selling Shareholders shall have no liability under this Agreement for any Loss to the extent such Loss is taken into account in the calculation of Closing Working Capital.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of this Article VI, the amount of a Loss for which any Purchaser Indemnitee or Selling Shareholders Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification in respect of any breach or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties in Articles III or IV (but not the existence of such breach or inaccuracy entitling a party to indemnification) shall be determined, in each case, as if any Materiality Qualifications were not included therein or in any statement contained in any certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Materiality Qualifications that are included in the Financial Statements (including the footnotes therein) or the applicability and application of GAAP shall not be subject to this subsection (b).

(c) No claim may be asserted by an Indemnified Party under Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.02 for any exemplary or punitive damages of such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to the extent an Indemnified Party suffers any such Losses in respect of a Third Party Claim. No claim shall be asserted by an Indemnified Party, and no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to claim under Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.02, a multiple of damages or multiple of Losses as a diminution in value of the Shares or of the value of the Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(d) The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement (as qualified by the matters that have been disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule) shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty covenant or agreement.

Section 6.04 Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. In order for a Person (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the party or parties against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.05, failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five (5) Business Days’ after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) Assumption. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to diligently defend such Third Party Claim in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party may assume its own defenses, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party), at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.04, in the event a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party as to which such Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification hereunder and (i) the Third Party Claim seeks damages other than money damages, (ii) the then-current balance of the Holdback Amount is insufficient to satisfy at least 50% of the amount that is being sought in such Third Party Claim, (iii) within thirty (30) days of assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party does not expressly agree in writing to be fully responsible for all Losses relating to such Third Party Claim up to the lesser of (A) the remaining funds of the Holdback Amount or (B) the amount of damages sought in such Third Party Claim, or (iv) the Indemnified Party, after conferring with its counsel and with the Indemnifying Party , reasonably determines that a conflict of interest makes separate representation by the Indemnified Party’s own counsel advisable, then, in any such case, the Indemnified Party may elect to retain and control the defense of such Third Party Claim with one counsel selected by such Indemnified Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party and will be entitled to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel incurred in such defense. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written Consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnifying Party shall settle or compromise any Third Party Claim in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is sought against the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnified Party Consents in writing to such settlement or compromise (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(c) Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party under Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. Subject to Section 6.05, the failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under Section 6.01 or Section 6.02, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure.

(d) Satisfaction of Indemnification Obligations; Release of Holdback Amount. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.08(a)(iii), from and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article VI), any indemnification to which a Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled under this Agreement, established either by (i) a final non-appealable Judgment or (ii) written notice of concession by any Selling Shareholder, as a result of any Loss arising following the Closing Date shall be satisfied (1) first, by recouping such Loss from the Holdback Amount, if any, by such Purchaser Indemnitee, after which (2) any remaining balance of such Loss and any future Losses payable to any Purchaser Indemnitee shall be paid directly by the Selling Shareholders on a joint and several basis pursuant to Section 6.04(e). In the event that, on the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, there remains a balance of the Holdback Amount in excess of $1,125,000, then the Purchaser shall release to the Selling Shareholders from the Holdback Amount an amount equal to (A) the difference between (y) the balance of the Holdback Amount then-remaining on such date and (y) $1,125,000, minus (B) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Losses specified in any then-unresolved good faith claims for indemnification, which remaining amounts shall be released to the Selling Shareholders promptly upon the resolutions of such then-unresolved good faith claims. In the event that, on the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date all or any portion of the Holdback Amount has not been paid to Purchaser Indemnitees in satisfaction of claims under this Article VI, then Purchaser shall release to the Selling Shareholders such then-remaining balance of the Holdback Amount, other than an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Losses specified in any then-unresolved good faith claims for indemnification, which remaining amounts shall be released to the Selling Shareholders promptly upon the resolutions of such, then-unresolved good faith claims, if any.

(e) Payments. Any payment pursuant to a claim for indemnification shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of written notice from the Indemnified Party stating the amount of the claim, unless the claim is subject to defense as provided in this Article VI or the claim is disputed by the Indemnifying Party and such dispute remains unresolved, in which case payment shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after the amount of the claim is finally determined or any such dispute is resolved.

(f) Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payment. With respect to any indemnity payment under this Agreement, the parties agree to treat, to the extent permitted by Law, all such payments as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 6.05 Survival of Representations and Covenants.

(a) The representations and warranties of the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and (i) in respect of the Fundamental Representations (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15 (Benefit Plans)), shall survive without expiration; (ii) in respect of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.13 (Taxes) and Section 3.15 (Benefit Plans), shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable thereto; (iii) in respect of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.08 (Software; Products; Services; Computer Systems) and Section 3.09 (Intellectual Property), shall terminate on the date which is thirty-six (36) months from the Closing Date; and (iv) in respect of all other representations and warranties made by the Selling Shareholders or the Company, shall terminate on the date which is twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any claim as to which an Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously delivered a notice of such claim pursuant to Section 6.04 to the applicable Indemnifying Party.

(b) The representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement (i) in respect of Section 4.02 (Authority; Execution and Delivery, Enforceability), and Section 4.06 (Brokers’ Fees) shall survive without expiration and (ii) all other representations and warranties made by Purchaser shall survive the Closing for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any claim as to which an Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously delivered a notice of such claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) pursuant to Section 6.04 to the applicable Indemnifying Party.

(c) The covenants and agreements of each party contained in this Agreement (including this Article VI) shall survive for the period specified therein, and if not specified, without expiration.

Section 6.06 Right of Contribution. Except as set forth in Section 6.03(c), effective as of the Closing, the Selling Shareholders shall have no right of contribution or other recourse against the Company for any breach under or pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 7.01 Seller Representative

(a) The Selling Shareholders hereby appoint Xxxxx Xxxxxx as the “Seller Representative.” The Seller Representative shall serve as representative of the Selling Shareholders with full power and authority to take all actions under this Agreement and any related documents solely on behalf of each Selling Shareholder. Each Selling Shareholder by approval of this Agreement hereby irrevocably appoints the Seller Representative as agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Selling Shareholder for all purposes of this Agreement, including full power and authority on such Selling Shareholder’s behalf (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, (ii) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Selling Shareholder any amendment or waiver hereto, (iii) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Selling Shareholder in connection herewith, (iv) to negotiate, settle, compromise and otherwise handle all disputes under Section 2.04, Tax matters pursuant to Section 5.09, and claims made pursuant Article VI hereof, and (v) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Selling Shareholder or the Selling Shareholders collectively are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement or any related documents. Each Selling Shareholder agrees that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Seller Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity or bankruptcy of any Selling Shareholder. Neither the Seller Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any liability to any Selling Shareholder relating to the performance of its duties hereunder except for actions or omissions constituting fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) The Seller Representative agrees that it shall not commence proceedings to liquidate, dissolve or wind up its affairs, or voluntarily resign as Seller Representative, as applicable, without providing to Purchaser and each other Selling Shareholder prior written notice of its intention to do so. Upon receipt of such notice, the Seller Representative shall appoint a substitute Person (which may or may not be a Selling Shareholder) to act as “Seller Representative” hereunder with all rights, powers and authority to act on behalf of the Selling Shareholders as the initial Seller Representative has pursuant to this Section 7.01, subject to Purchaser’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) Any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with the performance of its duties in such capacity under this Agreement or any related documents shall be reimbursed to the Seller Representative by the Selling Shareholders. The Seller Representative may from time to time submit invoices to the Selling Shareholders covering each Selling Shareholder’s respective pro rata portion based on number of Shares held as of Closing of such expenses and/or liabilities and, upon the request of any Selling Shareholder, shall provide such Selling Shareholder with an accounting of all expenses paid. In addition to any other rights or remedies, the Seller Representative may, upon prior or contemporaneous written notice, offset any amounts determined by it to be owed by any Selling Shareholder to the Seller Representative against any amounts to be paid to the Selling Shareholders.

(d) Each Selling Shareholder shall severally, but not jointly, based on their respective pro rata portion based on number of Shares held as of Closing, indemnify and hold harmless, the Seller Representative from any and all losses, liabilities and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) arising out of or in connection with the Seller Representative’s execution and performance (solely in its capacity as the Seller Representative and not in its capacity as a Selling Shareholder) of this Agreement and any related documents, except for fraud or willful misconduct by the Seller Representative. This indemnification will survive the termination of this Agreement and any related documents. The Seller Representative may, in all questions arising under this Agreement, rely on the advice of counsel and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Seller Representative in accordance with such advice, the Seller Representatives will not be liable to the Selling Shareholders. In no event will the Seller Representative (solely in its capacity as the Seller Representative and not in its capacity as a Selling Shareholder) be liable hereunder or in connection herewith to any of the Selling Shareholders for any indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages.

(e) Each Selling Shareholder (including, in each case for purposes of this Section 7.01, the Seller Representative) agrees that Purchaser and, following the Closing, the Company, shall be entitled to rely on any action taken by the Seller Representative, on behalf of each Selling Shareholder (each, an “Authorized Action”), and that each Authorized Action shall be binding on each Selling Shareholder as fully as if such Selling Shareholder had taken such Authorized Action. Each Selling Shareholder hereby releases and discharges Purchaser and, following the Closing, the Company, from and against any Losses arising out of or in connection with the Seller Representative’s failure to distribute any amounts received by the Seller Representative on the Selling Shareholders’ behalf to the Selling Shareholders. Payment of all amounts paid by or on behalf of Purchaser to the Seller Representative shall constitute payment by Purchaser to each of the Selling Shareholders and satisfaction of Purchaser’s obligation to pay such amount hereunder (notwithstanding any withholding by the Seller Representative.)

Section 7.02 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable by any party without the prior written Consent of the other parties hereto. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 7.01 shall be void. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives.

Section 7.03 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VI, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and their permitted assigns and nothing herein express or implied shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, such successors and such assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no third party is entitled to rely on or is otherwise intended to be a beneficiary of any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of any Selling Shareholders in or pursuant to this Agreement, or any of the statements or information contained herein or in any Exhibit or Schedule hereto or otherwise furnished or made available to Purchaser or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders, affiliates, consultants, legal counsel, accountants, investment bankers or potential or actual sources of financing.

Section 7.09 Conflicts and Privilege. Purchaser (on behalf of itself, the Company and its Subsidiaries) agree that, notwithstanding any current or prior representation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, PLLC (“OMW”), OMW shall be allowed to represent any Selling Shareholder or any of their Affiliates in any matters and/or disputes (or any other matter), including any matter or dispute adverse to Purchaser, the Company, any Subsidiaries of Purchaser or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates that arises in the future and relates to this Agreement or any of the other documents contemplated by the transaction herein, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and Purchaser and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby (a) waive any claim they have or may have that OMW has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (b) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser, the Company, any Subsidiaries of Purchaser or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates (on the one hand) and any Selling Shareholder, the Seller Representative, or any of their Affiliates (on the other hand) in whatever capacity, OMW may represent such Selling Shareholder, the Seller Representative, or such Affiliate in such dispute even though the interests of such Selling Shareholder or such Affiliate may be directly adverse to Purchaser, the Company, any Subsidiaries of Purchaser or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates and even though OMW may have represented the Company and its Subsidiaries in a matter related to such dispute. Purchaser and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) further agree that, as to all communications between or among OMW and the Company, any of the Subsidiaries of the Company, any of the Selling Shareholders and/or any of their respective Affiliates that relate in any way to (i) the business, operations, finances, assets, securities, liabilities or prospects of, or any other matters relating to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other documents contemplated by the transaction herein, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Selling Shareholders and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser, the Company or any Subsidiary of Purchaser or the Company.

exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 7.12 Waiver of Jury Trial.

Section 7.13 Specific Performance. Each of the Selling Shareholders and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the parties hereto would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by the Selling Shareholders or Purchaser could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which any party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

Section 7.14 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each party acknowledges that each party has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.
