(i) neither Buyer nor any Stockholder, as applicable, shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to any claim for indemnification arising out of or relating to matters described in Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i), as applicable, unless and until the aggregate amount of all such claims for such matters exceeds an amount equal to $200,000, in which event the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover Losses only in excess thereof; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to a claim for indemnification to the extent such claim is based upon Fraud or a breach of any of the Surviving Representations;

(ii) in no event shall (1) the aggregate Liability of any Stockholder arising out of or relating to Section 9.2(a)(i) exceed the Stockholder’s Share of the Escrow Amount (which, with respect to each Stockholder, shall be deemed to be the product of (i) 10.0%, multiplied by the (ii) Consideration, multiplied by (iii) such Stockholder’s Share (with respect to each Stockholder, the “Stockholder’s Liability Cap”)); provided, however, that (A) the Stockholder’s Liability Cap for a claim for breach of any of the Surviving Representations of the Company or a Stockholder shall be increased to an amount inclusive of the Stockholder’s Liability Cap not to exceed the product of (x) fifty percent (50%) of the Consideration, multiplied by (y) such Stockholder’s Share, and (B) the Stockholder’s Liability Cap for a claim for indemnification for Losses for Fraud against a Stockholder shall be increased to an amount inclusive of the Stockholder’s Liability Cap not to exceed the product of (x) Consideration, multiplied by (y) such Stockholder’s Share.

- 57 -

(iii) to the extent required by applicable Law, each Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions upon becoming aware of any Event that would be reasonably expected to give rise to Losses;

(iv) the amount of any Losses for which an Indemnitee claims indemnification under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds and any indemnification, contribution, offset or reimbursement payments actually received from a third party with respect to such Losses (net of (x) documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such recovery, (y) deductibles, premiums and retentions paid pursuant to the insurance policies under which such recovery is made to the extent arising out of or in connection with such claims and (z) the net present value of any increase in premiums paid and retentions for such policies to the extent arising out of or in connection with such claim); provided that if an Indemnitee actually receives insurance proceeds or indemnification, contribution, offset or reimbursement payments from third party insurers with respect to such Losses, in each case, at any time subsequent to any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article IX, then such Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the applicable Indemnitor for the lesser of (A) the amount of such proceeds and/or payments actually received by such Indemnitee in respect of such Losses (net of (x) documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such recovery, (y) deductibles, premiums and retentions paid pursuant to the insurance policies under which such recovery is made to the extent arising out of or in connection with such claims, and (z) the net present value of any increase in premiums paid and retentions for such policies to the extent arising out of or in connection with such claim) and (B) the aggregate amount of the payment made by such Indemnitor in respect of such Losses; provided further that, with respect to any Losses incurred by the Group Companies, all such amounts, proceeds, and payments which are the subject of this Section 9.2(c)(iv) shall be calculated in accordance with the proportionality principle set forth in Section 9.2(c)(v);

(v) [reserved];

(vi) any indemnification provided hereunder shall be so applied as to avoid any double counting and no Indemnitee shall be entitled to obtain indemnification more than once for the same matter or Losses;

(vii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, claims for breach of Sections 9.2(a)(i)(B), 9.2(a)(ii)(B), or 9.2(a)(vi) shall only be made against that Stockholder who has breached or failed to perform and no other Stockholder will be liable therefor; and

(viii) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have liability for any consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, in each case, except to the extent any such damages are awarded and paid with respect to a claim asserted by a third party.

- 58 -

(d) Procedure.

(i) Direct Claims. If either a Buyer Indemnitee, on the one hand, or a Stockholder Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall have a claim for indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) for any claim other than a claim asserted by a third party, the Indemnitee shall, as promptly as is practicable, give written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) of the nature and, to the extent practicable, a good faith estimate of the amount, of the claim. The failure to make timely delivery of such written notice by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability under this Article IX with respect to such matter, except to the extent the Indemnitor is actually materially prejudiced by failure to give such notice. The Indemnitor shall be deemed to deny the claim unless the Indemnitor acknowledges and agrees to such claim in writing signed by such Indemnitor. No acknowledgment or agreement by one Indemnitor shall be deemed an acknowledgement or agreement to such claim by any other Indemnitor; provided that any acknowledgement or agreement of the Stockholders’ Representative shall constitute the acknowledgement or agreement of all Indemnitors that are Stockholders in accordance with Section 9.2(d)(iv). If the Indemnitee and Indemnitor are unable to agree on the amount of any claim within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnitor’s receipt of the written notice set forth herein, either party shall be permitted to pursue resolution of such dispute in accordance with Section 11.11.

(ii) Third-Party Actions (Other than Tax Contests).

(A) If an Indemnitee receives notice or otherwise obtains knowledge of any matter or any threatened matter that may give rise to an indemnification claim against the Indemnitor with respect to a claim asserted by a third party, then the Indemnitee shall promptly deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice describing, to the extent practicable, such matter in reasonable detail. The failure to make timely delivery of such written notice by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability under this Section 9.2 with respect to such matter, except to the extent the Indemnitor is actually materially prejudiced by failure to give such notice. The Indemnitor shall have the right, at its option, exercisable within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of such notice to assume the defense of any such matter with its own counsel and at its sole cost and expense; provided that (x) such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, (y) the Indemnitor shall have such right to assume the defense of any such matter only if the Indemnitor irrevocably relinquishes its right to contest whether such claim is indemnifiable hereunder and (z) the Indemnitor shall not have any right to assume the defense of any such matter if (1) the Indemnitee is a Buyer Indemnitee and the applicable third party claimant is a then-current customer of the Indemnitee or its Affiliates, (2) the Indemnitee is a Buyer Indemnitee and reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to such matter would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the reputation and future business prospects of the Indemnitee or its Affiliates, (3) such matter is criminal in nature, (4) such matter seeks injunctive relief or other equitable remedies against the Indemnitee, (5) such matter seeks damages in excess of the amount for which the Indemnitee could obtain indemnification from the Indemnitor pursuant to this Article IX or (6) the Indemnitor fails to provide the Indemnitee with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend such matter and fulfill its indemnification obligations under this Article IX.

- 59 -

(B) If the Indemnitor elects to assume the defense of and indemnification for any such matter in accordance with this Section 9.2(d), then:

(1) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall not be required to pay or otherwise indemnify the Indemnitee against any attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such matter following the Indemnitor’s election to assume the defense of such matter, unless (x) the Indemnitor fails to defend diligently the action or proceeding within ten (10) days after receiving notice of such failure from the Indemnitee, (y) the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnitee or other Indemnitees that are not available to the Indemnitor, or (z) the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that, with respect to such claims, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor may have different, conflicting, or adverse legal positions or interests;

(2) except in connection with any Litigation where any Indemnitee is adverse to any Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall, at its own expense, make available to the Indemnitor all books, records and other documents and materials that are under the direct or indirect control of the Indemnitee or any of the Indemnitee’s agents and that the Indemnitor considers necessary or desirable for the defense of such matter, and reasonably cooperate with, and make its employees and advisors available or otherwise render reasonable assistance to, the Indemnitor and its agents; and

(3) the Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise any pending or threatened Litigation in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such Litigation) or consent to the entry of any judgment, in each case without the written consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(C) If (x) the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of and indemnification for such matter (or fails to notify the Indemnitee of such election within the period set forth in Section 9.2(d)(ii)(A)), (y) elects to assume the defense of and indemnification for such matter but then fails to diligently conduct such defense, or (z) is not entitled to assume the defense of such matter pursuant to Section 9.2(d)(ii)(A), then the Indemnitee shall proceed diligently to defend such matter with the assistance of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not settle, adjust or compromise such matter, or admit any liability with respect to such matter, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(D) The procedures in this Section 9.2(d)(ii) shall not apply to matters subject to Section 9.2(d)(iii) (Tax Contests) or to direct claims of an Indemnitee which are addressed in Section 9.2(d)(i).

(iii) Tax Contests.

(A) If, following the Closing Date, Buyer or any of the Group Companies receives from any Taxing Authority written notice of any Tax Contest with respect to which Buyer or the other Group Companies may reasonably have any liability for Pre-Closing Taxes, Buyer shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Stockholders’ Representative; provided, that Buyer’s failure to promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Stockholders’ Representative shall not affect the Buyer Indemnitee’s right to receive indemnification under Section 9.2(a) unless the Stockholders’ Representative is materially prejudiced thereby.

- 60 -

(B) The Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right, at its expense, to control, manage and be responsible for any Tax Contest to the extent that such Tax Contest relates to Pre-Closing Taxes, other than Tax Contests with respect to a Straddle Period. Buyer may participate in such Tax Contest and the Stockholders’ Representative shall not settle, compromise or otherwise resolve such Tax Contest without the consent of Buyer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Stockholders’ Representative shall keep Buyer informed of the progress of all such Tax Contests and shall provide copies of all written communications with any Taxing Authority related to such Tax Contests. With respect to a Tax Contest controlled by the Buyer that relates to Pre-Closing Taxes, Buyer shall not settle, compromise or otherwise resolve such Tax Contest without the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iv) Stockholders’ Representative. All notices to be provided to the Stockholders as an Indemnitee or Indemnitor pursuant to this Section 9.2(d) shall be provided to the Stockholders’ Representative and the Stockholders’ Representative shall act on behalf of the Stockholder Indemnitees and any Stockholders that are Indemnitors under this Section 9.2(d).

(e) Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article IX as an adjustment to the purchase price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes.

9.3. Recourse; Escrow Release; Set-Off.

(a) In the event that any Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification for Losses pursuant to this Article IX, then, subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this Article IX, such Buyer Indemnitee shall satisfy the amount of such Losses (i) from amounts then remaining in the Escrow Account and (ii) thereafter, directly from each Indemnifying Stockholder on a several but not joint basis. Upon a Buyer Indemnitee becoming entitled to receive any sums from the Escrow Account pursuant to this Article IX or Section 6.4(a), Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to such Buyer Indemnitee from the Escrow Account the amount to which such Buyer Indemnitee is so entitled (or the entire then-remaining balance of the Escrow Account, if less than such amount).

(b) Upon the Expiration Date, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrow Account to the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of and for further distribution to the Stockholders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Stockholder’s Share) an amount equal to (i) the balance then remaining in the Escrow Account less (ii) the Stockholders’ collective Stockholders’ Share of the aggregate amount (as estimated by Buyer in good faith) of any claims of the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification properly notified in accordance with this Article IX and that remain unresolved as of the Expiration Date (each, a “Pending Claim”).

- 61 -

(c) Upon the full and final resolution of a Pending Claim, if the amount retained in the Escrow Account with respect to such Pending Claim pursuant to Section 9.3(b) exceeds the amount that the Buyer Indemnitees are entitled to receive from the Escrow Account pursuant to this Article IX in respect of such Pending Claim, then Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrow Account to the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of and for further distribution to the Stockholders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Stockholder’s Share) the amount of such excess.

9.4. Exclusive Remedy.

Following the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims arising under, out of, or related to this Agreement, or the Contemplated Transactions, shall be the rights of indemnification set forth in this Article IX only, and no person will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, it being agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and recourse are expressly waived and released by the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by law, except for (a) the remedies arising from claims based on Fraud in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, (b) the equitable and other remedies available to the parties pursuant to Section 11.15, and (c) the dispute resolution mechanisms set forth in Section 2.4.

This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Stockholder Disclosure Schedule, the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, and the Ancillary Documents, contains the entire agreement of the parties respecting the Contemplated Transactions and supersedes all prior agreements among the parties respecting the Contemplated Transactions.

11.8. Effect of Waiver or Consent.

No waiver or consent, express or implied, by any party to or of any breach or default by any party in the performance by such party of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such party of the same or any other obligations of such party hereunder. No single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any right or power, shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Failure on the part of a party to complain of any act of any party or to declare any party in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its rights hereunder until the applicable statute of limitation period has run.

11.9. Parties in Interest; Limitation on Rights of Others.

The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.

- 67 -

11.11. Jurisdiction; Court Proceedings; Waiver of Jury Trial.

Any Litigation against any party to this Agreement arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement (other than those disputes to be resolved by the Auditor in accordance with Section 2.4) shall be brought in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware in New Castle County and each of the parties hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such Litigation; provided that a final judgment in any such Litigation shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to assert (a) any objection which it may ever have to the laying of venue of any such Litigation in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware in New Castle County, (b) any claim that any such Litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum or (c) any claim that such court does not have jurisdiction with respect to such Litigation. To the extent that service of process by mail is permitted by applicable Law, each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such Litigation in such courts by the mailing of such process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address for notices provided for herein.

11.15. Specific Performance.

The parties 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, in addition to any other remedies, 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.

This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same the same instrument.
