For purposes of clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Excluded Liabilities shall be included in the definition of Assumed Liabilities.

(l) all Liabilities of Seller to any current or former stockholder, member, option holder, profits interest holder, manager, officer or director of Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries, including any Claims by any such Person arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated herein or therein;

(t) all Liabilities pertaining to the Business or any Purchased Asset and arising out of, or resulting from, noncompliance with any Rule or Contract on or prior to the Closing Date.

2.5 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets (as adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Purchase Price”) shall be $27,000,000, consisting exclusively of:

(a) $23,750,000 in cash (as adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Closing Cash Consideration”) to be paid by Buyer (or by Parent on behalf of Buyer) to Seller at Closing in accordance with Section 2.6(a);

(b) up to an additional $2,500,000 in cash (the “Holdback Cash Consideration”) to be paid by Buyer (or by Parent on behalf of Buyer) to Seller in accordance with Section 2.6(b);

(c) up to an additional $750,000 in cash (the “Retention Holdback”) to be paid by Buyer (or by Parent on behalf of Buyer) to Seller in accordance with Section 2.6(c); and

(d) the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities.

The Closing Cash Consideration, Holdback Cash Consideration and Retention Holdback may be decreased (as provided below) for the cumulative net adjustments required pursuant to this Agreement as of or following the Closing.

2.6 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be payable by Buyer as follows:

(a) Closing Cash Consideration. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller in writing and delivered to Parent, an amount in cash equal to the Closing Cash Consideration.

(b) Holdback Cash Consideration. At the Closing, Buyer shall retain the amount of the Holdback Cash Consideration, which will constitute security for the satisfaction of Seller’s indemnity and other obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (the “Seller Party Obligations”). Buyer shall retain and shall have the right to subtract from the Holdback Cash Consideration (x) the amount, if any, to which Buyer or Parent is entitled pursuant to Section 2.7(d) (Working Capital Shortfall) and (y) any Indemnified Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article 9. Buyer shall pay the balance of the Holdback Cash Consideration to Seller on the release date (“Release Date”) as follows:

(i) Within 30 days after the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “12-Month Anniversary”), Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to (A) the Holdback Cash Consideration, minus (B) the amount of all Indemnified Losses that have been subtracted by Buyer from the Holdback Cash Consideration pursuant to Article 9 as of such date, minus (C) any amounts described in Section 2.6(b)(ii) below.

(ii) To the extent that as of the 12-Month Anniversary there are claims by the Indemnified Parties for indemnification for Indemnified Losses against the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Article 9 pending, Buyer shall retain from the payment of the Holdback Cash Consideration the amount of such Indemnified Losses, until such time as such claims have been resolved in accordance with Article 9. Any portion of the Holdback Cash Consideration remaining after such resolution shall be paid and released by Buyer to Seller within 30 days after such resolution.

(c) Retention Holdback. At the Closing, Buyer shall retain the amount of the Retention Holdback related to the Retention Bonuses contemplated in accordance with Section 6.3. Within 30 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Retention Bonuses offered to Retained Employees which have not accepted employment with Buyer by such date. Within 30 days after the 12-Month Anniversary, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount, if any, equal to (A) the remaining Retention Holdback, minus (B) the aggregate gross amount of Retention Bonuses that have been paid by Buyer and its affiliates to all Retained Employees from the Closing Date through such date, minus (C) the aggregate amount of employer payroll taxes withheld or paid by Buyer and its affiliates with respect to the Retention Bonuses (such amount, the “Retention Holdback Remainder,” and such date the “Retention Holdback Termination Date”). Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in Article 9, the Buyer shall be entitled to set off against the Retention Holdback Remainder which remains available as of the Retention Holdback Termination Date the amount of any Indemnified Losses in excess of the Holdback Cash Consideration for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article 9.

2.7 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) The Closing Cash Consideration shall be subject to further adjustment after the Closing as specified in this Section 2.7.

(b) Not later than 120 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Seller Owner (i) a statement (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) setting forth the Working Capital of the Business as of the Closing Date determined in accordance with the methodology described in Schedule 2.7 (“Final Working Capital”) and such work papers and other documents and information as are reasonably necessary to demonstrate the manner in which such Working Capital was calculated (the “Support Documentation”).

(c) The Seller Owner (on behalf of Seller) shall, within 30 days after Parent’s delivery to Seller Owner of the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Support Documentation, accept or reject the Working Capital calculation as submitted by Parent.

(i) If the Seller Owner rejects such calculation, the Seller Owner shall give written notice (the “Working Capital Objection Notice”) to Parent within such 30-day period and provide a detailed explanation of the basis of any disagreement. If the Seller Owner fails to notify Parent of any disagreement within such 30-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted Parent’s calculations. Further, if the Seller Owner notifies Parent that the Seller Owner disagrees only with a portion of Parent’s Working Capital calculation, then all remaining portions of Parent’s Working Capital calculation shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller. If the Seller Owner delivers the Working Capital Objection Notice within such 30-day period, then Parent and the Seller Owner shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the objections, for a period not to exceed 30 days from the date Parent receives the Working Capital Objection Notice, and if the Parties so resolve all disputes then the Closing Working Capital Statement, as amended to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of the dispute, shall be final, conclusive and binding on Parent and Seller.

(ii) If the Parties have not resolved any disagreement with respect to the determination of the Working Capital within such 30-day period, then such disagreement shall be submitted to an accounting or consulting firm mutually agreeable to the Seller Owner and Parent (the “Arbitrator”) for a final and binding resolution of the disagreement. The Arbitrator shall promptly determine the matters in dispute (and only such matters as are in dispute) relating to the calculation of Working Capital, and issue written findings of fact and conclusions in support thereof. Each Party shall furnish to the Arbitrator such work papers and other documents and information relating to such objections as the Arbitrator may request and are available to that Party (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Arbitrator any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such determination with the Arbitrator. To the extent that a value has been assigned to any objection that remains in dispute, the Arbitrator shall not assign a value to such objection that is greater than the greatest value for such objection claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such objection claimed by either Party. The determination by the Arbitrator, as set forth in a written notice delivered to both Parties by the Arbitrator, shall be made in accordance with this Agreement, including the methodology set forth on Schedule 2.7, the definition of “Working Capital” and the other terms of this Section 2.7, and shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be paid by the Party whose calculation of the Working Capital of the Business as of the Closing Date is further from the Working Capital of the Business as of the Closing Date as determined by the Arbitrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree that the scope of the Arbitrator’s review shall be limited to the Closing Working Capital Statement and calculation of Working Capital of the Business. This provision for arbitration shall be specifically enforceable.

(d) If (i) the Final Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.7) is less than the Target Working Capital, or (ii) the proper adjustment was not made under Section 2.6(a), then Parent shall recover such shortfall (the “Working Capital Shortfall”) by making a claim for and deducting the Working Capital Shortfall from the Holdback Cash Consideration, without reference to or meeting any Threshold requirement, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 9. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Parties will treat (and will cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any amounts payable with respect to any Working Capital Shortfall as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

2.8 Allocation of Purchase Price; Closing Matters.

(a) As soon as practicable after the Closing, Buyer shall allocate the Purchase Price (including those Assumed Liabilities that are liabilities for Tax purposes) pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code and any other applicable Tax laws among the Purchased Assets and the non-compete agreement described in Section 6.11 for all Tax purposes in accordance with this Section (the “Allocation”) and deliver a statement to the Seller Owner setting forth the Allocation. The Seller Owner shall, within 30 days following its receipt of the Allocation, accept or reject the Allocation as submitted by Buyer. During this 30-day period, the Seller Owner may request, and Parent shall endeavor to provide, documents and information reasonably necessary for the Seller Owner to understand the Allocation. If the Seller Owner disagrees with the Allocation, the Seller Owner shall give written notice to Buyer of such disagreement and the specific basis for such disagreement within such 30-day period. Should the Seller Owner fail to notify Buyer in writing of a disagreement within such 30-day period, the Seller Owner (on behalf of Seller) shall be deemed to have agreed with Buyer’s Allocation. If the Seller Owner gives written notice to Buyer of a disagreement and the specific basis for such disagreement within such 30-day period, then Buyer and the Seller Owner shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputed items. If, after a period of 20 days following the date on which the Seller Owner gives Buyer timely notice of such disagreement, any proposed change remains disputed, then Seller and Buyer shall each be entitled to adopt their own positions regarding the Allocation to the extent of any differences arising from such disputed items, and the Seller Owner (on behalf of Seller) shall be deemed to have otherwise agreed with the Buyer’s Allocation. To the extent the Parties agree (or the Seller Owner (on behalf of Seller) is deemed to agree) on the Allocation, such Allocation, as agreed to (or deemed to be agreed to) is referred to herein as the “Final Allocation.” Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (such as IRS Form 8594 or any other forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code or any comparable provisions of applicable law (“Section 1060 Forms”)) in a manner that is consistent with the Final Allocation and refrain from taking any action inconsistent therewith, unless otherwise required to do so by applicable law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a)(1) of the Code. Buyer and Seller shall file such Section 1060 Forms timely and in the manner required by applicable law. Buyer and Seller also shall allocate and report any adjustments to the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and any allocations made as a result of such adjustments (to the extent agreed to or deemed to be agreed to, applying the same procedures discussed above in this Section 2.8(a)) shall become part of the Final Allocation.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Parent at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, at 10:00 a.m. (Central time) on the date hereof or such other date as the Parties may mutually agree upon the date of the Closing is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing shall be deemed effective for all purposes, and the right of possession of the Purchased Assets shall be deemed to have been passed to Buyer at 11:59 p.m. (Central time) on the Closing Date, and the Parties agree to acknowledge and use the Closing Date for all purposes, including for accounting and Tax purposes.

(c) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Parties shall consummate the following on the Closing Date:

(i) Seller shall deliver to Buyer the Purchased Assets and retain the Excluded Assets and the Excluded Liabilities;

(ii) Buyer shall pay the Closing Cash Consideration;

(iii) Buyer shall assume the Assumed Liabilities; and

(iv) the Parties shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Transfer Documents (as per Section 2.8(e)) and certificates and other documents and instruments required to be delivered by or on behalf of a Party hereof under Article 7.

(d) Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, enter into, and cause their respective Subsidiaries, if applicable, to enter into, on the Closing Date, separate bills of sale and assignment and assumption agreements, including patent, trademark, copyright, domain name and contract assignments (collectively, the “Transfer Documents”) documenting the purchase and sale of each portion of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to be conveyed separately to Buyer. Such individual Transfer Documents will memorialize the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer, Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, and Seller’s retention of the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities.

(e) The Transfer Documents shall be in substantially the applicable forms attached hereto as Exhibits A1-4, with such modifications as are necessary and appropriate as a result of differences in local laws or customs, in order to maintain substantially the same legal meaning and effect as provided for in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Transfer Document, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Assumed Contract if an attempted assignment thereof, without consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer thereunder. Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts, and Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller, to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Assumed Contract for the assignment thereof to Buyer; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor its Affiliates shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom any such consent is requested and any costs related to obtaining such consent shall be the sole responsibility of Seller.

(g) Unless and until such consent is obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would materially adversely affect the rights of Seller thereunder so that Buyer would not in fact receive all rights and benefits under such Assumed Contract, then (i) Seller shall continue to be bound by such Assumed Contract and (ii) unless not permitted by the terms thereof or applicable Rules, Buyer shall, as agent or subcontractor for Seller, pay, perform and discharge fully, or cause to be paid, transferred or discharged, all the obligations or other Liabilities of Seller under such Assumed Contract arising solely after the Closing Date (except to the extent expressly otherwise provided herein or in the Ancillary Agreements). Seller shall, without further consideration, pay and remit, or cause to be paid or remitted, to Buyer promptly all money, rights and other consideration received by Seller in respect of such performance (less the any third party expenses incurred by Seller in connection therewith). If and when any such consent shall be obtained or such Assumed Contract shall otherwise become assignable, Seller shall promptly assign all of such Seller rights, obligations and other Liabilities under such Assumed Contract to Buyer without receipt of further consideration, and Buyer shall, without the payment of any further consideration, assume the rights, obligations and other Liabilities under such Assumed Contract arising solely from and after the Closing Date (except to the extent expressly otherwise provided herein or in the Ancillary Agreements).

(h) From and after the Closing, if the Parties, acting in good faith, mutually determine that any of the assets held by the Seller Parties should have been deemed to be Purchased Assets (including any Excluded Contracts that should have been deemed to be Assumed Contracts), the Parties will in good faith discuss and agree how to amend the Schedules hereto as necessary to reflect such changes. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller shall not terminate any Excluded Contracts during the period starting on the Closing Date and ending ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (other than such Excluded Contracts that expire according to their terms within such period).

2.9 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and any of the Buyer’s Affiliates (each, a “Withholding Agent”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Withholding Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Tax law; provided, however, that prior to deducting and withholding any such amounts (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall notify such payee of any amounts that the applicable Withholding Agent intends to withhold from any payments hereunder and provide such payee with reasonable support for the basis for such withholding and (ii) the parties shall reasonably cooperate to minimize or eliminate any potential deductions and withholdings and such payee shall have the opportunity to reduce or eliminate such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Body, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable payee in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made and in the manner required by this Agreement.

(ii)         as promptly as practicable, obtain from any Governmental Body or any other third party any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations, or orders required to be obtained or made by any Seller Party or Buyer Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein;

(iv)        execute or deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated in, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.

The Seller Parties and Buyer shall cooperate in connection with the making of all such filings, including providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing Party and its advisors prior to filing and, if requested, considering in good faith reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith. Seller, Seller Owner and Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to furnish the other Party, upon reasonable request, all information reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any application or other filing to be made pursuant to the applicable Rules in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer and Seller agree that nothing contained in this Section 6.2(a) shall modify or affect their respective rights and responsibilities under Section 2.8(f) or Section 2.8(g).

(b)           Subject to applicable law and as required by any Governmental Body, each Party shall keep the others apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated in this Section 6.2, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other material communications received by such Party, as the case may be, or any of its Subsidiaries, from any third party or Governmental Body with respect to the transactions contemplated herein. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall permit any of their representatives to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Body in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Body, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate.

(c)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.3 or Section 2.8, each Party’s cost and expense of compliance with this Section 6.3 shall be borne by the Party incurring such expense.

6.3           Employment and Benefit Matters.

(a)           As soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date, Buyer and/or Parent shall offer employment to those Business Employees it designates for hire in its sole discretion, and with each such offer to be pursuant to an offer letter on Buyer’s form of offer letter provided by Buyer. Any such Business Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment and commences employment with Buyer shall be referred to, individually, as a “Retained Employee” and, collectively, as the “Retained Employees.” Buyer’s employment of each Retained Employee in accordance with this Section 6.3(a) shall begin as of the commencement of the applicable date of hire (the “Hire Date”), and the employment and other relationships of such Retained Employees with Seller and its Affiliates shall end immediately prior to such date. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in employing as new employees of Buyer all such Retained Employees. Buyer shall in no way be obligated to continue to employ any Retained Employee for any specific period of time. Buyer and/or Parent shall offer retention bonuses to certain Retained Employees in the amounts set forth on Schedule 6.3(a) (and in an aggregate amount of up to $750,000) (the “Retention Bonuses”).

(b)           Seller shall be liable for, or for causing, the administration and payment of all workers’ compensation and health and welfare Liabilities and benefits (including Liabilities arising out of the termination of employment of any Business Employee) with respect to any Retained Employees to the extent resulting from claims arising prior to the Hire Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, claims shall be considered incurred on the date when medical/dental services are rendered or medical/dental supplies provided, and not when the condition arose or the course of treatment began. Seller shall be liable for the administration and provision of benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) with respect to Business Employees and/or any former employees of Seller or other qualified beneficiaries associated with any Business Employees or former employees of Seller with respect to qualifying events that occur before the Hire Date or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Seller further agrees and acknowledge that in the event Seller ceases to provide, or ceases to cause the provision of, any group health plan to any employee prior to the expiration of the COBRA continuation coverage period for all M&A qualified beneficiaries (as defined by Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q&A-4(a)) with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, then Seller shall provide Buyer written notice of such cessation at least 10 days in advance thereof and shall provide all information necessary for Buyer to offer COBRA continuation coverage to such M&A qualified beneficiaries in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q&A-8(c); provided, that Buyer shall be obligated to offer such coverage only to the extent required by applicable law. Buyer will be responsible for COBRA coverage for Retained Employees (and each such employee’s qualified beneficiaries) whose qualifying event occurs on or after the applicable Hire Date, to the extent required by law.

(c)           Except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.3 with respect to Retained Employees, Buyer shall have no obligation or Liability with respect to any Business Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) up to and including the Closing Date and Seller shall remain responsible for any obligation or Liability, whether contractual or statutory, arising out of Seller’s employment or termination of Business Employees. Nothing in this Agreement confers upon any Business Employee or Retained Employee any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.3.

(d)           Pursuant to the “Standard Procedure” provided in Section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-34 I.R.B. 320, (i) Buyer and Seller shall report on a predecessor / successor basis as set forth therein, (ii) Seller will not be relieved from filing, or causing the filing of, a Form W-2 with respect to any Retained Employees, and (iii) Buyer will undertake to file, or cause to be filed, a Form W-2 for each such Retained Employee only with respect to the portion of the year during which such Retained Employees are employed by Buyer that includes the Closing Date, excluding the portion of such year that such Retained Employee was employed by Seller.

(e)           This Section‎ 6.3 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section‎ 6.3, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section‎ 6.3. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section‎ 6.3 shall not create any right of any employee or any other Person to any continued employment with Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

6.4           Access to Records and Personnel.

(a)           Exchange of Information. From and after the Closing until the sixth anniversary of the Closing, each Party shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each other, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor and at the requesting Party’s sole expense, reasonable access (including using commercially reasonable efforts to give access to Seller’s auditors, accountants and other advisors reasonably requested by each Party), during normal business hours, to the other Party’s representatives and to any books, records, files, documents, instruments, accounts, correspondence, writings, evidences of title and other papers relating to the Business and the Purchased Assets (the “Books and Records”) in the possession or under the control of the other Party with respect to periods prior to the Closing that the requesting Party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing, auditing or other requirements imposed on the requesting Party (including under applicable securities laws) by a Governmental Body having jurisdiction over the requesting Party in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation or other similar requirements arising from the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, or (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that no Party shall be required under this provision to provide access to or disclose information if the Parties are in a dispute with each other regarding matters related to such information request or where such access or disclosure would violate any law, protective order or confidentiality agreement, or waive any attorney-client, attorney work product or other similar privilege, and each Party may redact information regarding itself or its affiliates or otherwise not relating to the other Party and its affiliates, to the extent such redaction is not related to the Business, and, in the event such provision of information could reasonably be expected to violate any Rule, protective order or confidentiality agreement or waive any attorney-client, attorney work product or other similar privilege, the Parties shall take commercially reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence, to the extent practicable.

(b)           Record Retention. Each Party shall retain the Books and Records relating to the Business in such Party’s respective possession or control for the greater of (i) six years following the Closing Date or (ii) such period of time as may be required by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party may destroy or otherwise dispose of any Books and Records not in accordance with its retention policy, provided that, prior to such destruction or disposal (i) such Party shall provide no less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the other Party of any such proposed destruction or disposal (which notice shall specify in detail which of the Books and Records is proposed to be so destroyed or disposed of), and (ii) if a recipient of such notice shall request in writing prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or disposal that any of the information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be delivered to such recipient, such Party proposing the destruction or disposal shall, as promptly as practicable, arrange for the delivery of such of the Books and Records as was requested by the recipient (it being understood that all reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with the delivery of the requested Books and Records shall be paid by such recipient).

(c)           Other Agreements Providing For Exchange of Information. Except with respect to information that is generally available to the public, the Party requesting such information shall (i) hold all such information in the strictest confidence, except as required by applicable law or which must be disclosed in connection with any audit or Taxing authority inquiry, (ii) shall disseminate such information only to its officers, directors, employees and representatives who have been advised of the confidential nature of such information and are subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Party requesting such information, and only on an as-needed basis, (iii) shall return promptly upon request of the other Party all copies of the information received by it, and (iv) shall cause its officers, directors, employees and other representatives to comply with the terms and conditions of this provision.

(d)           Confidential Information. Nothing in this Section 6.6 shall require either Party to violate any agreement with any third parties regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary information or of customer information; provided, however, that in the event that any Party is required under this Section 6.6 to disclose any such information, or in the event the transaction contemplated herein would cause a Party to disclose such information, that Party shall notify the other Parties thereof, not disclose such information, and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such third party’s consent to the disclosure of such information and implement requisite procedures to enable the disclosure of such information.

6.5           Mail Handling. To the extent Seller receives any mail, email, faxes or packages addressed to such Seller but relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, such Seller shall promptly deliver such materials to Buyer. To the extent Seller or any Seller Owner receives any payments or refunds or any other proceeds in respect of the Purchased Assets or any Assumed Contract or otherwise arising out of the Business, Seller shall cause such amounts to be remitted promptly to Buyer.

6.6           Notification. Promptly after the Closing Date, Seller will send a communication, the form and content of which will be subject to the reasonable review and approval of Buyer, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to all existing and pending customers of the Business notifying them of the consummation of the sale of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities to Buyer. At the request of the Buyer, Seller will also send a communication, the form and content of which will be subject to the reasonable review and approval of Buyer, to all existing and pending customers to the Business notifying them of the announcement of a pending sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer.

6.7           Non-competition; Non-solicitation.

(a)           Seller and Seller Owner (collectively, the “Restricted Parties,” and each a “Restricted Party”) agree that for a period of two and one half years commencing on the Closing Date, such Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to (i) engage in a Competing Business or (ii) solicit, request, advise or knowingly induce any customer, vendor (other than legal counsel and accountants), supplier or contractor of the Business during the 12-month period preceding the Closing (including the Closing Date) to cancel, curtail or otherwise adversely change its relationship with Buyer with respect to the Business.

(b)           Each Restricted Party agrees that for a period of two and one half years commencing on the Closing Date, such Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any Retained Employee to leave or terminate their employment with a Buyer Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a breach of this paragraph for a Restricted Party to (x) solicit Retained Employees who respond to general advertisements in newspapers and/or other media of general circulation (including advertisements posted on the Internet), job fairs or other similar general solicitation, so long as they are not specifically directed towards such Retained Employees, or (y) solicit any Retained Employee whose employment with the Buyer Parties and all of their Subsidiaries has been terminated prior to such solicitation.

(c)           For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.7 shall not be deemed to apply to any Affiliate of the Seller Parties other than their Subsidiaries.

(d)           Each Restricted Party expressly represents and warrants to the Buyer Parties that it is incurring the obligations of the covenants in this Section 6.7 as an inducement to the Buyer Parties to enter into this Agreement and as an essential element of the Buyer Parties’ agreement to acquire the Purchased Assets and pay the Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets, and the Buyer Parties would not have done so but for the agreement by each Restricted Party to comply with the terms and provisions hereof.

(e)           Each Restricted Party understands and acknowledges that the Buyer Parties have made substantial investments to acquire the Purchased Assets, including business interests, goodwill and confidential information. Each Restricted Party agrees that such investments are worthy of protection, and that the Buyer Parties’ need for the protection afforded by this Section 6.7 is greater than any hardship the Restricted Parties might experience by complying with its terms.

(f)            The Buyer Parties and Restricted Parties agree that the limitations as to time, geographic area and scope of activity to be restrained, as applicable, contained in this Agreement are fair and reasonable and are not greater than necessary to protect the confidential information and/or the goodwill or other legitimate business interests of the Buyer Parties. However, if at any time any of the provisions of this Section 6.11 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to duration, area, scope of activity or otherwise, then this Section 6.7 shall be considered divisible (with the other provisions to remain in full force and effect) and the invalid or unenforceable provisions shall become and be deemed to be immediately amended to include only such time, area, scope of activity and other restrictions, as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body having jurisdiction over the matter, and the Seller expressly agrees that this Agreement, as so amended, shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included herein.

6.8           Financial Statements. The Parties shall promptly commence preparation of, and cooperate in good faith in the preparation of, any document or materials required to satisfy any public filing requirements arising out of or otherwise relating to the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

6.9           Business Confidential Information.

(a)           The Seller Parties hereby acknowledge that the Buyer Parties or the Business may be irreparably damaged if any Business Confidential Information possessed by any Seller Party were disclosed to or used by any Person engaged in competition with the Buyer Parties or the Business. From and after the date hereof, each Seller Party covenants and agrees that it will not, and will not permit its Affiliates to, and that it will use reasonable efforts to cause its representatives and agents not to, use or disclose any such Business Confidential Information without the prior written consent of Parent, except to attorneys, accountants and authorized representatives of such Seller Party, unless expressly permitted hereunder. If any Seller Party or one or more of its Affiliates is requested or required by any Governmental Entity to disclose any of such Business Confidential Information, then such Seller Party will provide Parent with prompt written notice of such request or requirement. Parent shall then either seek appropriate protective relief from all or part of such request or requirement or waive the applicable Seller Party’s or such Affiliate’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.9 with respect to all or part of such request or requirement. Each Seller Party will cooperate with Parent in attempting to obtain any reasonable protective relief that Parent chooses to seek. If, after Parent has had a reasonable opportunity to obtain such relief, Parent fails to obtain such relief, then such Seller Party or its Affiliate may disclose only that portion of such Business Confidential Information which its legal counsel advises it is compelled to disclose.

(b)           The obligations of the Buyer Parties pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement in respect of Business Confidential Information shall terminate as of the Closing.

6.10         Post-Closing Collection. Seller agrees to hold any cash receipts or proceeds of Purchased Assets that come into its possession or control following the Closing Date in trust for the sole benefit of Buyer and will, as soon as administratively feasible, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following receipt, deliver such cash receipts or proceeds to Buyer.

Article 9

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1           Indemnification. Subject to the provisions of this Article 9, from and after the Closing, each of the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses.

9.2           Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a)           If any third party notifies any Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Action”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any Indemnifying Party under this Article 9, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Seller Owner thereof in writing (the “Third-Party Claim Notice”); provided, that no failure or delay on the part of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Seller Owner shall limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under this Article 9, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties have been materially prejudiced thereby. The Third-Party Claim Notice shall include a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and, if ascertainable, the amount of the claim. Except with respect to any Special Claim, the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right (by notifying the Indemnified Party in writing of its intent within 20 days after receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice) but not the obligation to control the defense of any Third-Party Action, and all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnifying Party’s counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel and participation shall be at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Action, the Indemnifying Party will select counsel to conduct the defense of such claim or proceeding, will take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof and will at all times diligently and promptly pursue the resolution thereof. If the Third-Party Action is a Special Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third-Party Action or proceeding resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Article 9, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or proceeding, and shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for such reasonable costs and expenses, in the manner the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, including settling such claim or proceeding on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate.

(b)           All Parties to this Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third-Party Action and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and shall attend such conferences, discovery proceedings and trials as may be reasonably requested in connection with such Third-Party Action; provided, that no Party shall be required to grant access or furnish information to the extent that such information is subject to an attorney/client or attorney work product privilege; and provided further, that a Party and/or its counsel shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such joint defense agreements or other arrangements, as appropriate, so as to allow for such disclosure in a manner that does not result in the loss of attorney/client or attorney work product privilege. Each Party shall act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in addressing any adverse consequences that may result in the basis for an indemnifiable claim.

(c)           If the Indemnifying Party assumed the defense of any claim or proceeding in accordance with this Section 9.2, the Indemnifying Party will be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or proceeding, with the prior written consent of each relevant Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the Indemnifying Party is not authorized to encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or to agree to any restriction that would apply to any Indemnified Party or to its conduct of business; and provided further, that a condition to any such settlement is a complete release of each relevant Indemnified Party and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents with respect to the claim made, including any reasonably foreseeable collateral consequences thereof.

9.3           Direct Claims. In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder which is not subject to Section 9.2, the Indemnified Party will notify the Seller Owner in writing of any Indemnified Losses which such Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. Such notification must state in reasonable detail, to the extent such information is reasonably available, the nature, amount and circumstances, and be accompanied by any other documentation or information reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party to evaluate the claim. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9, if the Seller Owner does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing within 30 days after receipt of the written notification that the Seller Owner disputes all or any portion of such claim, the amount of such undisputed claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Parties hereunder. In case an objection is made in writing, the Indemnified Party shall have 30 days to respond in a written statement to the objection. If the Indemnified Party so responds, or the time to respond has expired, and there remains a dispute as to any claim, the Indemnified Party and the Seller Owner shall attempt in good faith for 30 days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each such claim. If the Indemnified Party and the Seller Owner should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement and the agreed upon dollar amount of liability for such claim of the Indemnifying Parties against whom the claim is made shall be prepared and signed by (or on behalf of) the Parties. If the Parties do not agree, each of the Indemnified Party and the Seller Owner may take such actions and assert such rights, remedies and defenses as may then be available to it under the terms of this Agreement.

9.1

No Circular Recovery. Seller Owner hereby agrees that it will not, and no Indemnifying Party shall, make any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses against Parent or Buyer by reason of the fact that such Indemnifying Party was the owner of Seller with respect to any claim brought by an Indemnified Party in accordance with this Agreement.

9.2           Satisfaction of Indemnifiable Claims. Parent shall be entitled to reduce the Holdback Cash Consideration by the amount necessary to satisfy and pay the amount of any claim with respect to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9. Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Article 9, Buyer shall also be entitled to set off against the Retention Holdback Remainder available as of the Retention Holdback Termination Date the amount of any Indemnified Losses in excess of the Holdback Cash Consideration for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9.

9.3           Limits on Liability.

(a)           The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified for any Indemnifiable Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of all Indemnifiable Losses exceeds $100,000 (the “Threshold”); provided, however, that after the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Losses exceeds the Threshold, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified against the entire amount of any Indemnifiable Losses, including the Threshold; and provided further, however, that this Section 9.7(a) shall not apply to (i) Fundamental Claims, (ii) claims arising out of Fraud or willful breach of the Indemnifying Parties, or (iii) breaches of covenants in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(b)           Subject to Section 9.7(d), the Indemnifying Parties’ maximum aggregate liability for Indemnifiable Losses shall be limited to an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

(c)           Subject to Section 9.7(a) and Section 9.7(d), the Indemnifying Parties’ maximum liability for Indemnifiable Losses other than with respect to (i) Fundamental Claims, (ii) any Excluded Liability, or (iii) any breach of covenant made pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement by any Seller Party shall be limited, in aggregate, to an amount equal to the Holdback Cash Consideration.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, there shall be no limit under this Agreement on the Indemnifying Parties’ liability for claims arising with respect to (i) any Excluded Liability, or (ii) Fraud or willful breach.

(e)           The Indemnified Parties shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of any Indemnifiable Losses. Without limiting the foregoing, Indemnifiable Losses shall be calculated net of actual recoveries under existing insurance policies and contractual indemnification or contribution provisions (in each case calculated net of any actual collection costs and reserves, deductibles, premium adjustments and retrospectively rated premiums); provided, that, in the event that an Indemnified Party first recovers from the Holdback Cash Consideration for any particular Losses and thereafter recovers for the same Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to any existing insurance policies and/or contractual indemnification or contribution provisions, then the amount recovered pursuant to such existing insurance policies and/or contractual indemnification or contribution provisions (up to the amount first recovered from the Holdback Cash Consideration) shall be credited back to the Holdback Cash Consideration or paid to the Seller Parties, as applicable.

(f)            Indemnifiable Losses shall exclude punitive damages, unless actually paid to a third party by any Indemnified Party.

(g)           Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all references in this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto to “material,” “material respects” and “Material Adverse Effect” (and similar materiality qualifications) shall be disregarded solely for purposes of determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Losses that is the subject of indemnification hereunder. For purposes of clarity, such qualifications shall not be disregarded for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach or failure of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

(h)           The right to rely on, and the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement, or any of the Ancillary Agreements, 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 or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(i)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, other than claims for Fraud or willful breach, the indemnification under this Article 9 shall be the exclusive right and remedy of the Indemnified Parties from and after the Closing Date for Indemnifiable Losses or other damages under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.7(i) shall limit or affect the right of the Indemnified Parties to seek specific performance under this Agreement and under the Ancillary Agreements in accordance with their terms.

9.4           Acknowledgement of Seller Owner. The parties acknowledge and agree that any Indemnified Party may deal directly with the Seller Owner with respect to an indemnification claim and the Indemnifying Parties will be bound by any action or agreement of the Seller Owner made on their behalf.

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1         Survival of Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.

Following the date of termination of a representation or warranty, no claim for indemnification may be made for breach or inaccuracy of such representation or warranty, but no such termination will affect any claim for a breach of a representation or warranty that was asserted in writing pursuant to Article 9 before the date of the termination of such representation or warranty.

(b)           Any covenant or agreement to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with its terms.

10.2         No Waiver Relating to Certain Claims. The liability of any Party under Article 9 will be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other liability that such Party may have at law or equity based on Fraud or willful breach.

10.3         Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein otherwise, each Party will bear its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with, relating to or arising out of the evaluation, negotiation, preparation for, and consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, counsel and accountants, and any such expenses incurred by such Party (in the case of the Seller Parties, collectively, the “Seller Transaction Expenses”).

10.4         Publicity. Except for statements made or press releases issued (a) pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (b) pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market; or (c) as otherwise required by law, none of the Seller Parties will issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein without the express prior written approval of Parent.

10.6         Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of all other Parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that upon notice to Seller (or, following the Closing, to the Seller Owner), any of the Buyer Parties may assign or delegate any or all of their rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate thereof so long as such assignment or delegation does not relieve the assigning or delegating party from its obligations under this Agreement; and provided, further, that the Buyer Parties may assign their respective rights under this Agreement to their lenders as collateral security for their obligations under any of their secured debt financing arrangements.

10.7         Third Party Beneficiaries.

10.9         Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any failure of a Party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement may be waived only if set forth in a written instrument signed by the Party or Parties to be bound by such waiver (including, if such waiver is after the Closing, the third party beneficiaries set forth in Section 10.7), but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other failure.

10.10       Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTER OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE LAWS OR RULES OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE RELATING TO CONFLICT OF LAWS.

10.11       Resolution of Disputes.

(b)           If the dispute is not resolved within three weeks after a demand for direct negotiation, the aggrieved Party may then seek relief in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.

(c)           Each Party consents to the exclusive personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and waives any defense based upon forum non conveniens or lack of personal or subject matter jurisdiction.

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including this Section 10.11, each Party shall have the right to at any time apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for preliminary injunctive relief.

10.12       Severability. In the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be in any way impaired, and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall be fully severed from this Agreement and there shall be automatically added a replacement provision as similar in terms and intent to such severed provision as may be legal, valid and enforceable.

10.13       Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of this Agreement and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(h)           The phrase “date of this Agreement” and similar terms shall mean the date set forth in the introductory clause of this Agreement.

10.16       Specific Performance.
