ARTICLE VII
RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
Each Seller, severally and not jointly, hereby covenants to Purchaser as follows:
7.1 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, each of the Sellers shall keep confidential, and shall not use (except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 7.1), directly or indirectly, for the benefit of itself or others (other than any use by any Seller who is employed or otherwise engaged by the Company or Trans Union LLC or any of its Affiliates in the performance of such Seller’s duties as an employee or other service provider), all confidential information relating to the Company and its business, including “know how”, trade secrets and all other Intellectual Property, customer lists, supplier lists, details of consultant and employment contracts, pricing policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product development techniques or plans, business acquisition plans (including identified acquisition targets), technical processes, designs and design projects, processes, inventions, software, source codes, object codes, systems documentation and research projects and other business affairs (collectively, “Confidential Information”) and shall not disclose such information to any other Person; provided, however, this Section 7.1 shall not apply to any information (a) which is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Section 7.1, (b) which is lawfully received by a Seller, as the case may be, after the Closing Date from a third party not known to such Seller (after reasonable inquiry), as the case may be, to be under any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information, or (c) which is required to be disclosed by applicable Law, or in connection with any Proceeding, or the use of which is reasonably necessary to the defense of such Seller in any such Proceeding, in which case such Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonably prompt notice of such required disclosure so that Purchaser may seek (at its sole cost) to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that such disclosure shall be treated confidentiality. In addition to the foregoing, to the extent that a Seller is assisting the Seller Representative to perform its duties and exercise its rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.10(k), such Seller may use any information received solely to so assist the Seller Representative.
7.2 Non-Interference with Customer and Supplier Relationships. Each Seller covenants and agrees that, at all times commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), such Seller shall not, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, directly or indirectly, on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Person, contact or do business with any customer or supplier of the Company or, to such Seller’s knowledge, any other customer or supplier of Trans Union LLC or any Affiliate thereof (including the Company), in each case with respect to or otherwise involving the Business, as conducted or, to such Seller’s knowledge, planned to be conducted, as of the Closing Date or at any time within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Closing Date.
7.3 Non-Competition. Each Seller covenants and agrees that at all times during the Restricted Period, such Seller shall not, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, directly or indirectly own an interest in, operate, join, control, advise, work for, consult to, have a
59
**** Confidential Treatment has been requested for certain redacted provisions of this exhibit. The redacted provisions are identified by asterisks and enclosed by brackets. The confidential portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
financial interest which provides any control of, or participate with or in any Person producing, designing, providing, soliciting orders for, selling, distributing, consulting to, or marketing or re-marketing products or services competitive with, or in substantially the same line of business as, the Business, or any part thereof, as conducted or, to such Seller’s knowledge, planned to be conducted, as of the Closing Date or at any time within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Closing Date. The prohibitions set forth in this Section 7.3 apply throughout the United States (including its territories and possessions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prohibitions set forth in this Section 7.3 do not prohibit the mere ownership of less than three percent (3%) of the outstanding stock or other equity securities of any publicly-traded Person as long as the Seller does not actually control such Person and is not otherwise in violation of this Agreement.
7.4 Non-Diversion. Each Seller covenants and agrees that, at all times during the Restricted Period, such Seller shall not, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, divert or attempt to divert or take advantage of or attempt to take advantage of any actual or potential business or opportunities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, of which such Seller became aware as the result of such Seller’s ownership of Shares and which relate specifically to the Business, or any part thereof, as conducted or, to such Seller’s knowledge, planned to be conducted, as of the Closing Date or at any time within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Closing Date.
7.5 Non-Recruitment. Each Seller agrees that the Company has invested and will invest substantial time and effort in acquiring and maintaining its workforce. Accordingly, such Seller covenants and agrees that during the Restricted Period, such Seller shall not, and shall not cause any other Person to, (a) hire away any individual who was employed by the Company or Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, or (b) directly or indirectly, entice, solicit or seek to induce or influence any such individual to leave his or her employment with the Company or Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates.
7.6 Remedies. Each Seller acknowledges that should such Seller violate any of the covenants contained in this Article VII applicable to such Seller (collectively, with respect to such Seller, the “Restrictive Covenants”), it will be difficult to determine the resulting damages to Purchaser and its Affiliates and, in addition to any other remedies Purchaser and its Affiliates may have, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled to temporary injunctive relief without being required to post a bond and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage. Failure to seek any or all remedies in one case shall not restrict Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) from seeking any remedies in another situation. Such action by Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) shall not constitute a waiver of any of their rights.
7.7 Severability and Modification. It is the parties’ intent that each of the Restrictive Covenants be read and interpreted with every reasonable inference given to its enforceability. However, it is also the parties’ intent that if any term, provision or condition of the Restrictive Covenants is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Finally, it is also the parties’ intent that if a court should determine any of the Restrictive Covenants are unenforceable because of over-breadth, then the
60
**** Confidential Treatment has been requested for certain redacted provisions of this exhibit. The redacted provisions are identified by asterisks and enclosed by brackets. The confidential portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
court shall modify said covenant so as to make it reasonable and enforceable under the prevailing circumstances.
7.8 Tolling. In the event Purchaser files a claim in a court of competent jurisdiction against a Seller for such Seller’s breach of any Restrictive Covenant set forth in Section 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5, the running of the period of restriction as to such Seller shall be automatically tolled and suspended for the duration of such litigation, and shall automatically recommence upon the final adjudication of such litigation, in order that the Company shall receive the full benefit of such Seller’s compliance with each of the Restrictive Covenants; provided, however, that in the event such Seller is adjudged to not have breached a Restrictive Covenant, then no tolling shall occur.
7.9 No Other Defenses. Each Seller agrees that the Restrictive Covenants shall be enforced independently of any other obligations between Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company), on the one hand, and such Seller, on the other, and that the existence of any other claim or defense shall not affect the enforceability of the Restrictive Covenants or the remedies provided herein.
7.10 No Challenge. Each Seller acknowledges that Purchaser, in executing this Agreement, has placed significant reliance on such Seller’s compliance with the Restrictive Covenants applicable to it. Accordingly, no Seller shall, directly or indirectly, (a) make any claim that any of the Restrictive Covenants is unenforceable or (b) challenge or commence or institute any claim, lawsuit or action (or assert any counterclaim or cross claim) seeking to invalidate or reduce the scope of any of the Restrictive Covenants; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict in any manner the ability of any Seller to challenge any assertion by Purchaser that such Seller has violated any Restrictive Covenant.

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article X, Purchaser shall indemnify the Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, members, managers, partners, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives (the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from, any and all
66
**** Confidential Treatment has been requested for certain redacted provisions of this exhibit. The redacted provisions are identified by asterisks and enclosed by brackets. The confidential portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Damages incurred or suffered by them resulting from or in any way arising out of or in connection with any of the following:
(a)any failure of any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or in any of the certificates or documents furnished by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct in all respects (collectively, “Purchaser Breaches”); and
(b)any failure by Purchaser to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant set forth in this Agreement or in any of the certificates or documents furnished by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.
10.4 Notice of Claim.
(a)The term “Claim” means a claim for indemnification by (i) Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Person, as the case may be, for Damages under this Article X or (ii) any Seller or any other Seller Indemnified Person, as the case may be, for Damages under this Article X (such Person making a Claim, an “Indemnitee”).
(b)An Indemnitee may give notice of a Claim under this Agreement, whether for its own Damages or for Damages incurred by any other Purchaser Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person, as applicable, pursuant to written notice of such Claim executed by such Indemnitee (a “Notice of Claim”), and delivered to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) or Purchaser, as appropriate (the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), in such capacity, or Purchaser, as appropriate, the “Indemnitor”), promptly after such Indemnitee becomes aware of the existence of any potential Claim by such Indemnitee, but in any event before the applicable Survival Date, arising out of or resulting from: (i) any item indemnified pursuant to the terms of Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, as applicable, or (ii) the assertion, whether orally or in writing, against any Indemnitee of a Proceeding brought by a third party against any Indemnitee (in each such case, a “Third Party Claim”) that, if successfully prosecuted, would give rise to a right of the Indemnitee to indemnification under this Agreement. A Notice of Claim shall describe the Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. So long as such Notice of Claim is given on or prior to the applicable Survival Date, no delay on the part of an Indemnitee in giving the Indemnitor a Notice of Claim shall limit or reduce the Indemnitee’s right to indemnity hereunder, nor relieve the Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, from any of its obligations under this Article X unless (and then only to the extent that) the Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, are actually prejudiced thereby. A Claim shall be “asserted” for the purpose of this Article X only if given in accordance with this Section 10.4(b). A Claim shall be deemed to be rejected by Sellers, if they have not responded to such Claim within thirty (30) days.
10.5 Defense of Third Party Claims.
(a)Subject to the provisions hereof, the Indemnitor shall have the right to elect to defend, on behalf of the Indemnitee, any Third Party Claim by notifying the Indemnitee of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days from receipt of a Notice of Claim (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), which notice shall confirm that the Indemnitor
67
**** Confidential Treatment has been requested for certain redacted provisions of this exhibit. The redacted provisions are identified by asterisks and enclosed by brackets. The confidential portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
will, subject to the limitations of this Article X, indemnify the Indemnitee from and against any Damages the Indemnitee may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if: (i) the Indemnitor does not provide the Indemnitee with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (ii) such Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Proceeding against the Indemnitee; (iii) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee; (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnitee Party; or (v) the Third Party Claim is, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to adversely affect the Indemnitee’s relationships with its customers or suppliers.
(b)If the Indemnitor elects to defend the Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 10.5, (i) the Indemnitor shall assume the defense thereof utilizing legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, (ii) the Indemnitor shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such counsel, and (iii) the Indemnitee shall cooperate in good faith in such defense at the sole expense of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor does not elect to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnitor if (i) so requested by the Indemnitor to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor that would make such separate representation advisable. If the Indemnitor does not elect to defend the Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall keep the Indemnitor reasonably advised on the status of such Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and provide copies of pleadings and communications related thereto and shall consider recommendations made by the Indemnitor with respect thereto; provided that the Indemnitee shall not be obligated to accept any such recommendations.
(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.5 to the contrary, neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnitee shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless (x) the claimant and the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee, as applicable, provide to the other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim and (y) neither the Claim nor the consent to judgment provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee.
10.6 Limitation on Liability.
(a)The aggregate liability of the Sellers for or on account of Company Breaches and the BAA Indemnity pursuant to this Article X or otherwise shall be limited to the Indemnity Escrow Amount (the “Cap”), except with respect to aggregate liability of the Sellers for or on account of the following matters, each of which shall not be subject to the Cap:
68
**** Confidential Treatment has been requested for certain redacted provisions of this exhibit. The redacted provisions are identified by asterisks and enclosed by brackets. The confidential portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(i)Fraud;
(ii)Company Breaches of Fundamental Representations, for which the aggregate liability of the Sellers shall be limited to the sum of (A) $54,945,000 minus (B) the amount of Closing Accounts Receivable, plus (C) the Tax Indemnity Amount plus (D) the Customer Retention Contingent Purchase Price plus (E) the Accounts Receivable Contingent Purchase Price (the sum of such amounts, each as determined under this Agreement, the “Purchase Price Cap”); and
(iii)Subject to Section 10.6(a)(v), Company Breaches of Extended Survival Representations, for which the aggregate liability of the Sellers shall be limited to the product of (A) the Purchase Price Cap multiplied by (B) 0.30 (the “Extended Survival Rep Cap”);
(iv)Subject to Section 10.6(a)(v), Company Breaches of Regulatory Representations and the BAA Indemnity, for which the aggregate liability of the Sellers (A) shall be limited to the product of (1) the Purchase Price Cap multiplied by (2) 0.30, with respect to Notices of Claims delivered by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons prior to or on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date or (B) shall be limited to the product of (1) the Purchase Price Cap multiplied by (2) 0.15 with respect to Notices of Claims delivered by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to or on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date (as applicable, the “Regulatory Representations Cap”).
(v)The Extended Survival Rep Cap and the Regulatory Representations Cap shall not be independent of each other, and all Damages resulting from Claims pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i) in respect of the Extended Survival Representations or the Regulatory Representations shall be used to compute both the Extended Survival Rep Cap and the Regulatory Representations Cap. For avoidance of doubt, the Cap shall be independent of the Extended Survival Rep Cap and the Regulatory Representations Cap, and no Damages from Claims pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i) in respect of the Extended Survival Representations or the Regulatory Representations shall be used to compute the Cap.
(b)The indemnification provided for in this Article X with respect to Company Breaches, other than Company Breaches of Fundamental Representations or Regulatory Representations, shall not apply unless and until the aggregate Damages determined to be due to one or more Purchaser Indemnified Persons hereunder exceeds a cumulative aggregate amount of $300,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 10, be indemnified only for all Damages in excess of the Deductible. Purchaser acknowledges that in no event shall any Seller be liable or obligated to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s efforts to enforce this Agreement against any other Seller.
(c)Subject to Section 10.6(j), notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate liability of a Seller pursuant to this Article X and otherwise hereunder exceed the product of (i) the sum of (A) $54,945,000, minus (B) the amount
69
**** Confidential Treatment has been requested for certain redacted provisions of this exhibit. The redacted provisions are identified by asterisks and enclosed by brackets. The confidential portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
of Closing Accounts Receivable plus (C) the amount of any Tax Indemnity Amount, Customer Retention Contingent Purchase Price and the Accounts Receivable Contingent Purchase Price, in each case, received by the Sellers multiplied by (ii) 0.50.
(d)The amount to which an Indemnified Person may become entitled under this Article X shall be (i) net of the amount of any Tax Benefit actually realized in the taxable period in which such Damages were incurred, and (ii) net of any actual recovery (whether by way of insurance, indemnification, contribution, payment, discount, credit, off-set, counterclaim or otherwise) received from a third party (including any insurer) (a “Third Party Source”) less any cost associated with receiving such recovery in respect of a Claim. For this purpose, a tax benefit (“Tax Benefit”) shall be realized with respect to a taxable period if, and to the extent that, the Person’s cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable period, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributable to the Damages incurred in such taxable period, exceeds the Person’s actual cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable period, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to the Damages incurred in such taxable period (to the extent permitted by relevant Tax Law and treating such Tax items as the last items claimed for such taxable period).
(e)Recovery for any Fraud or willful or criminal misconduct committed by a Seller (solely in the capacity of a Seller and not on behalf of the Company) (an “Individual Fraud Claim”) may only be sought from the Seller committing the same and not from the other Seller.
(f)The Sellers may not assert, directly or indirectly, and hereby waive, any claim, whether for indemnification, contribution, subrogation or otherwise, against any Third Party Source.
(g)If a Purchaser Indemnified Person shall timely make a good faith Claim pursuant to this Article X on or prior to the date on which any portion of the Customer Retention Contingent Purchase Price, if any, is due and payable to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.10, and after Purchaser’s rights regarding the Indemnity Escrow Amount have been exhausted or if the amount of such Claim exceeds the then available Indemnity Escrow Amount, then Purchaser, by giving written notice to the Seller Representative and the Sellers, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offset the amount of such Claim, after giving effect to the Deductible, if applicable, and taking into account any Indemnity Escrow Amount available, against up to seventy five percent (75%) of the Customer Retention Contingent Purchase Price. In the case of such offset against such Customer Retention Contingent Purchase Price amount, the Customer Retention Contingent Purchase Price to be disbursed from the Customer Retention Contingent Purchase Price Escrow Amount to each Seller shall be reduced, pro rata in accordance with each Seller’s respective Pro Rata Shares, unless the liability for such offset amount is related to a Claim against an individual Seller pursuant to Section 10.2(a), in which case such offset shall be against the applicable individual Seller’s pro rata share of the Customer Retention Contingent Purchase Price. In either case, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent accordingly. If, upon final resolution of such Purchaser Indemnified Person’s Claim, the amount of the Customer Retention Contingent Purchase Price offset pursuant to this Section 10.6(g) exceeds the amount for which the Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall promptly direct the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Seller(s) the amount of such excess, as applicable.
70
**** Confidential Treatment has been requested for certain redacted provisions of this exhibit. The redacted provisions are identified by asterisks and enclosed by brackets. The confidential portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(h)If and solely to the extent that an amount of Damages in connection with an indemnifiable matter was already taken into account in connection with calculation of the Final Closing Purchase Price (pursuant to Section 2.9), the same amount of such Damages may not be recovered under Article X. If particular facts or circumstances form the basis of an Claim under more than one provision of this Agreement, then the party seeking indemnification may bring such Claim under any or all of such provisions even though recovery under one provision may be more favorable than recovery under another provision, provided that duplicate or multiple recovery for Damages relating to the same facts or circumstances shall not be permitted.
(i)In the event any Purchaser Indemnified Person first recovers from the Escrow Amount or the Sellers or any Seller Indemnified Person first recovers against Purchaser, as applicable, for any particular Damages and thereafter recovers for the same Damages from any third party (including a Third Party Source), then the amount recovered from such third party (up to the amount first recovered by the Indemnified Person) shall be paid, as applicable, by (i) Purchaser to the Seller Representative, on behalf of the applicable Sellers, or (ii) the Seller Representative, on behalf of the applicable Sellers, to Purchaser.
(j)Nothing contained in this Section 10.6 shall be interpreted to limit the liability of any party for breach of any covenants of such party contained in this Agreement.
10.7 Payment of Indemnification Claims. With respect to a Claim, including a Third Party Claim, after the earliest to occur of: (a) a final decision, judgment or award has been rendered with respect thereto (including a declaratory or similar judgment that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification) and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, (b) a settlement has been consummated with respect thereto, or (c) the applicable Indemnitor and Indemnitee have executed an agreement with respect thereto pursuant to which the Indemnitor accepts liability with respect therefor, the Indemnitee shall forward to the Indemnitor a written notice of any sums due and owing by the Sellers or by Purchaser, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Claim and the applicable Indemnitors shall be obligated to pay such sums due and owing to the Indemnitee within five (5) days after receipt of such notice If any of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons are entitled to receive an indemnification payment with respect to a Claim prior to the date upon which Purchaser’s rights regarding the Indemnity Escrow Amount have been exhausted or cease to be available, then Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall, within five (5) days after receipt of the Indemnitee’s notice, direct the Escrow Agent to promptly release and pay to Purchaser, on behalf of such Purchaser Indemnified Person(s), all of such sums so due and owing.
10.8 Exclusive Remedy; Mitigation.
(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except (i) as may be required to specifically enforce post-Closing covenants hereunder or (ii) in the case of a claim based upon Fraud or willful or criminal misconduct, after the Closing Date the rights set forth in Section 2.9 and this Article X are and shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Purchaser, the Purchaser Indemnified Persons, the Sellers and the Seller Indemnified Persons with respect to this Agreement, any Company Documents, any Seller Documents and, any Purchaser Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Nothing set forth in this Agreement (including Section 4.26) shall affect any party’s right to seek and/or obtain any
71
**** Confidential Treatment has been requested for certain redacted provisions of this exhibit. The redacted provisions are identified by asterisks and enclosed by brackets. The confidential portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
and all available equitable remedies, including rescission and restitution, in the case of fraud within a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date.
(b)Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit the general obligation at law of an Indemnified Person to mitigate any Damages which it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by an Indemnifying Party of any representation, warranty, or covenant hereunder; provided, however, such general obligation to mitigate Damages shall not apply to the filing by Purchaser or its Affiliates of one or more Tax Returns with respect to the Company in any jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall not preclude Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from filing any such Tax Return. For clarity, the general obligation to mitigate Damages shall include using commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under all (i) applicable insurance policies and (ii) indemnity, contribution and similar agreements, so long as with respect to clause (ii) such commercially reasonable efforts, in the good faith judgment of such Indemnified Person, is not likely (A) to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Person and its Affiliates or (B) materially adversely affect the relationships of the Indemnified Person and its Affiliates with their respective customers or suppliers.
10.9 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Purchaser and the Sellers agree to treat any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement, including the Tax Indemnity Amount specified in Section 6.6(a)(ii), as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
10.10 Release of Escrow Amount. Within two (2) Business Days after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall, by written notice, instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, or to each Seller, pro rata in accordance with each Seller’s respective Pro Rata Share, a portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the then remaining Indemnity Escrow Amount, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of any outstanding Claims of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons that have been timely asserted and that have not then been resolved pursuant to the provisions of this Article X. The disbursement of any Indemnity Escrow Amount remaining after the resolution of all such Claims, if any, shall be released by the Escrow Agent, upon joint written instruction of Purchaser and the Seller Representative, within five (5) Business Days after the final resolution of such Claims in accordance with Section 10.7.
10.11 Purchaser’s Knowledge. Any due diligence review, audit or other investigation or inquiry undertaken or performed by or on behalf of Purchaser shall not limit, qualify, modify or amend the representations, warranties or covenants of, or indemnities made by the Sellers or the Company pursuant to this Agreement, irrespective of the knowledge and information received (or which should have been received) therefrom by Purchaser, and consummation of the transactions contemplated herein by Purchaser shall not be deemed a waiver of a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant or of Purchaser’s rights and remedies with regard thereto.

(b)In performing the functions specified in this Agreement, the Seller Representative may act upon any instrument or other writing believed by the Seller Representative to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper Person, and the Seller Representative (and its members, managers, directors, officers, shareholders, contractors, agents and employees) shall not be liable in connection with the performance by it of its duties pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Seller Representative.
(c)The Sellers agree that the Seller Representative shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Sellers, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any loss, liability or expense (including the hiring of legal counsel and the incurring of legal fees and costs) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Seller Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder; provided that in no event shall the indemnification obligation of any Seller exceed the proceeds actually received by such Seller hereunder.
(d)The Sellers agree that any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with actions taken by the Seller Representative pursuant to Section 2.9, Section 2.10, Section 2.11 and Article X and otherwise as provided in this Agreement (including the hiring of legal counsel and the incurring of legal fees and costs) (“Representative Expenses”) shall be the responsibility of the Sellers pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares and may be recovered by the Seller Representative directly from Sellers pro-rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Sellers agree that the Seller Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or administration of its duties.
(e)The Sellers hereby appoint and constitute the Seller Representative the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Sellers, with full power in their name and on their behalf to act according to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in the absolute discretion of the Seller Representative; and in general to do all things and to perform all acts including, executing and delivering the Escrow Agreement and any other agreements, certificates, receipts, instructions, notices or instruments contemplated by or deemed advisable in connection with the Escrow Agreement. This power of attorney, the immunities, rights to indemnification and all authority hereby conferred is granted and coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any Seller, by operation of Law, whether by such Person’s death, disability, protective supervision, bankruptcy, liquidation or any

other event, and shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Seller of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Amount. Without limiting the foregoing, this power of attorney is to ensure the performance of a special obligation, and, accordingly, each Seller hereby waives and renounces its, his or her right to renounce this power of attorney unilaterally any time. The Sellers hereby waive any and all defenses that may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Seller Representative taken under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding the power of attorney granted in this Section 11.10 (e), no agreement, instrument, acknowledgement or other act or document shall be ineffective solely by reason of a Seller (instead of the Seller Representative) having signed or given the same directly.
(f)The Sellers, acting jointly, shall have the right at any time to remove the then-acting Seller Representative and to appoint a successor Seller Representative; provided, however, that neither such removal of a then acting Seller Representative nor such appointment of a successor Seller Representative shall be effective until (i) notice of such act has been provided to Purchaser, (ii) delivery to the Escrow Agent of executed counterparts of a writing signed by such Sellers with respect to such removal and (iii) appointment, together with an acknowledgment signed by the successor Seller Representative appointed in such writing that it, he or she accepts the responsibility of successor Seller Representative and agrees to perform and be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Seller Representative, with a copy of such acknowledgment being promptly provided to Purchaser. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of Seller Representative and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Each successor Seller Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Seller Representative. If the then-acting Seller Representative resigns or is unable to perform the obligations of the Seller Representative hereunder (whether by reason of death, disability or otherwise), the Sellers, acting jointly, shall promptly appoint a successor Seller Representative in accordance with this Section 11.10(f); provided, however, that if Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, as initial Seller Representative, dies or becomes disabled and is unable to perform the obligations of the Seller Representative hereunder, Xxxx X. XxXxxxx shall automatically become the successor Seller Representative and the Sellers (and/or their respective heirs) shall execute and deliver all documents as such successor Seller Representative shall determine necessary or appropriate in connection therewith.
(g)The Seller Representative hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that (i) it has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder, (ii) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller Representative and (iii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement enforceable against such Seller Representative in accordance with its terms.
(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, to the extent that any breach by a Seller of his, her or its representations and warranties set forth in Article III cause a representation and warranty by the Company set forth in Article IV to be inaccurate (as reasonably determined by the Seller Representative in good faith), then such Seller will be responsible for all of the Damages suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons as a result thereof. This Section 11.10(h) shall not in any way reduce or modify the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ indemnification rights hereunder.

**** Confidential Treatment has been requested for certain redacted provisions of this exhibit. The redacted provisions are identified by asterisks and enclosed by brackets. The confidential portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(i)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Seller Representative shall not, without the prior written consent of each affected Seller, (i) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement, or any agreement entered into in connection with the Transaction, in a manner that disproportionately and adversely affects such Seller relative to the other Sellers, or (ii) enter into any settlement or compromise of any dispute arising out of the Transaction that imposes a non-monetary obligation on such Seller.
(j)The Seller Representative shall have reasonable access to information about the Company and the reasonable assistance of the Company’s former officers and employees for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights hereunder; provided, that, the Seller Representative shall (i) use any information received as solely to perform its duties and exercise its rights hereunder and (ii) treat all information received as Confidential Information in accordance with Section 7.1 and not share or otherwise provide any of such information to any other Person (except to the Sellers or the Seller Representative’s employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or authorized representatives on a need to know basis, in each case who agree to treat such information confidentially in accordance with Section 7.1); provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor the Company shall be obligated to provide such access or information if it determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so would jeopardize the protection of attorney-client privilege. The Seller Representative shall enter into a separate customary confidentiality agreement prior to being provided access to such information if reasonably requested by Purchaser.
11.11 Legal Representation. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx LLP (“R&C”) currently serves as counsel to both (a) the Company and (b) Sellers, including in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. There may come a time, including after consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, when the interests of Sellers and the Company may no longer be aligned or when, for any reason, Sellers or the Company believes that R&C cannot or should no longer represent both Sellers and the Company. The parties understand and specifically agree that after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, R&C may continue to represent the Sellers even if the interests of Sellers, and the interests of the Company are or may be adverse, including in connection with any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and even though R&C may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute, and the Purchaser and the Company consent thereto and waive any conflict of interest arising therefrom. In addition, the Company shall not have any right of access to or control over any of R&C’s records related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which shall become the property of (and controlled by) the Sellers. Each of the parties further agrees that, as to all communications between R&C and the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence and all other rights to any similar evidentiary privilege, in each case solely to the extent thereof, belong to the Sellers and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Company or any of their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, in the event of a dispute between the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to any matter in which R&C acted for them both, none of the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence or any other rights to any evidentiary privilege will protect from disclosure to the Sellers any information or

documents developed or shared during the course of R&C’s joint representation of the Sellers and the Company.
11.12 Disclosure Schedules. For the purposes of this Agreement, any matter that is disclosed in a particular Disclosure Schedule to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been included in the other Disclosure Schedules, so long as the relevance of such matter to such other Disclosure Schedules is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Disclosure Schedule shall not necessarily mean that such fact or item is material to the Company and no disclosure in Disclosure Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract or law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. In no event shall the listing of such matters in any Disclosure Schedule be deemed or interpreted to expand the scope of any Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. Each Disclosure Schedule is qualified in its entirety by reference to specific provisions of the Agreement and does not constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations, warranties or covenants of Purchaser or any Seller or their respective Affiliates, except as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.
11.13 Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties agree that each party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.
