At the Closing, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, satisfaction or waiver of the conditions found in Article 5 hereof, each Member of the Seller Group shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from each Member of the Seller Group, free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Liens), all of each Seller Group Member’s respective rights, title and interests in and to all of the assets, properties and rights related to the Business listed on the Purchased Assets Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”).

1.2 Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchased Assets do not include, and Buyer is not purchasing or assuming any liability or obligation for, any assets, properties or rights of Seller or Seller Parent not included in the Purchased Assets (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”). The Excluded Assets include, without limitation, the assets, properties and rights listed on the Excluded Assets Schedule Exhibit E and incorporated herein by reference.

1.3 Assumed Liabilities and Obligations. At Closing, Buyer shall assume and perform when due, only the liabilities and obligations of the Seller Group Members listed on the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit F and incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities and Obligations”).

1.4 Excluded Liabilities and Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer is assuming only the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations (including the Assumed Contracts) and is not assuming any other liability or obligation of Seller or Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, including, without limitation, obligations under any Real Property, real or personal property leases, debts, liabilities and obligations of any nature whatsoever, whether accrued, absolute or contingent, whether known or unknown, whether due or to become due related to the operation of the Business, the Assumed Contracts, or the Purchased Assets to and including the Closing Date and regardless of when asserted, except to the extent expressly included in the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities and Obligations”).

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER GROUP

The Seller Group hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as of the Agreement Effective Date, subject in each case to such exceptions as are specifically contemplated by the disclosure letter delivered by the Seller Group to Buyer contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the “Seller Disclosure Letter”). The Seller Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Article 2, and the disclosure in any section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Letter does not qualify other sections and subsections of this Article 2 without specific reference or cross reference to specific disclosure made in another section or subsection unless it is readily apparent from a reading of the disclosure in the Seller Disclosure Letter that such disclosure also qualifies or applies to such other sections or subsections of this Article 2. .. Except as expressly set forth in this Article 2 or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered herewith, neither Seller Group Member nor any other Person acting on its behalf makes any representations or warranties, written or oral, express or implied, except for the representations and warranties in this Article 2 or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered herewith. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Article 2, neither Seller Group Member nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability (excluding fraud or intentional misconduct) to Buyer resulting from the distribution to Buyer, or Buyer’s use of, any information, documents, projections, forecasts, or other material, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Buyer in certain “data rooms” or management presentations in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Seller is duly qualified or licensed to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the Business assets, rights and properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the Business makes such qualification, licensing or admission necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.2 Authorization; Binding Obligations; No Conflicts; Governmental Consents.

(a) Each Seller Group Member has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a party, to perform its obligations under, and carry out the provisions of, this Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a party and to consummate the Transaction.

This Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a party are the valid and legally binding obligation of each Seller Group Member, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies. This Agreement and the Related Agreements to which each Seller Group Member is a party have been duly executed and delivered by each Seller Group Member.

Except as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies, each such Material Business Contract that constitutes an Assumed Contract (“Assumed Material Business Contract”) is a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Seller or Seller Parent, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of Seller, of the other party or parties thereto, and is in full force and effect. Neither Seller Parent or Seller is nor, to the Knowledge of Seller, is the other party or parties thereto, in breach or non-compliance of any material term of any such Assumed Material Business Contract.

(d) Neither Seller nor Seller Parent has granted any powers of attorney or other similar agreements or grants of agency authority that are related exclusively to the Business.

(e) Set forth in Section 2.4(e) of the Seller Disclosure Letter is a list of shared services Contracts that are material to the continued operation of the Business as of the Agreement Effective Date, are not exclusive to the Business and are not being assumed by or transferred to Buyer (“Material Shared Services Contracts”).

2.5 Related-Party Transactions. Except as set forth in Section 2.5 of the Seller Disclosure Letter and for any Business Employee or Business Contractor related agreements or other documents disclosed in response to Section 2.13, there are no loans, leases or other agreements or transactions included in the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations to which either Seller Group Member is a party, on the one hand, and to which any of the following is a party, on the other hand: (a) any director or officer of either Seller Group Member, (b) the other Seller Group Member, (c) to the Knowledge of Seller, any member of such director’s or officer’s Immediate Family, or (d) to the Knowledge of Seller, any Affiliate (other than Seller Parent) of such director or officer. To Seller’s Knowledge, no director or officer of Seller (i) is engaged in, or serves as an officer or director of any person engaged in, direct competition with Seller with respect to the Business or (ii) has material business dealings or a material financial interest in any transaction with Seller (other than business dealings or transactions in the ordinary course of business with Seller at substantially prevailing market prices and on substantially prevailing market terms).

2.6 Changes. Except as reflected in the Financial Statements, as set forth on Section 2.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter or as contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with the Transaction, since the Balance Sheet Date, Seller has conducted the Business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and there has not been (a) any change, event, fact, circumstance, condition or effect which individually or in the aggregate has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) any disposition or acquisition of any material assets or a material transaction other than in the ordinary course of business or as contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction; or (c) any material damage, destruction or loss to the properties of the Business, whether or not covered by insurance.

2.7 Properties.

(a) Real Property. Neither Seller Group Member (i) owns any Real Property related to or used in connection with the Business nor (ii) is obligated, and does not have an option, to acquire an ownership interest in any Real Property related to or used in connection with the Business. Section 2.7(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter lists all leases, subleases and licenses (the “Real Property Leases”) for or relating to all Real Property interests used, leased or otherwise occupied by Seller or otherwise used primarily in the conduct of the Business and operations of Seller as currently conducted (the “Leased Real Property”), in each case identifying the lessee and lessor thereunder and the address and current use of such Leased Real Property. Seller has made available to Buyer accurate and complete copies of the Real Property Leases.

Seller or Seller Parent owns and has good and valid title to, or otherwise has the right to use pursuant to a valid and enforceable lease, license or similar contractual arrangement, all of the Purchased Business Tangible Personal Property, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Any Permitted Liens on the Purchased Business Tangible Personal Property, individually or in the aggregate, do not materially interfere with the current use of any such Purchased Business Tangible Personal Property by Seller or materially detract from the value of any such Purchased Business Tangible Personal Property. The material equipment and other items of Purchased Business Tangible Personal Property are in good operating condition and in a good state of maintenance and repair, subject only to ordinary wear and tear, and are adequate and suitable for the purposes for which they are presently being used or held for use. To the Knowledge of Seller, there are no facts or conditions affecting any Purchased Assets that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially interfere with the use or operation of such Purchased Business Tangible Personal Property.

2.8 Intellectual Property.

(a) Owned Business Intellectual Property. Section 2.8(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Owned Business Intellectual Property that is necessary to the operation of the Business. Seller or Seller Parent, as applicable, is the sole owner of each item of Purchased Owned Business Intellectual Property. All Purchased Owned Business Intellectual Property is free and clear of Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Neither Seller Group Member holds any Registered Owned Business Intellectual Property. There are no Contracts in effect as of the Agreement Effective Date (i) in which Seller has granted a license, covenant, release, immunity, assignment, or other right with respect to any Purchased Owned Business Intellectual Property in connection with the settlement of a litigation brought against, or by, either Seller Group Member; (ii) pursuant to which either Member of the Seller Group has granted an express license, covenant, release, immunity, assignment, or other right to any Purchased Owned Business Intellectual Property, which license is material to the Business and not entered into in the ordinary course of business; or (iii) pursuant to which either Seller Group Member has granted a third party an exclusive license to Purchased Owned Business Intellectual Property (collectively, the “Licensed Purchased Owned Business Intellectual Property License Agreements” and, such Intellectual Property, the “Licensed Purchased Owned Business Intellectual Property”).

(b) Licensed Business Intellectual Property. Section 2.8(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Contracts in effect as of the Agreement Effective Date (i) pursuant to which a third party has licensed Business Intellectual Property that is material to the operation of the Business to either Member of the Seller Group, other than Contracts with respect to Business Intellectual Property (including Software) that is generally available on a commercial basis from third parties, including Software licensed pursuant to shrink-wrap or click-wrap agreements, terms of use or services, or similar agreements; or (ii) in which Seller or Seller Parent has received a license, covenant, release, immunity, assignment, or other right with respect to any Business Intellectual Property in connection with the settlement of a litigation brought against, or by, either Seller Group Member (collectively, the “Licensed Business Intellectual Property Agreements” and, such Intellectual Property, the “Licensed Business Intellectual Property”). Seller or Seller Parent has all necessary licenses and/or other rights necessary for Seller’s or Seller Parent’s use of Licensed Business Intellectual Property that is material to the operation of the Business, subject to the terms of the applicable license agreement, and the applicable licensee is using such Licensed Business Intellectual Property in accordance with such license terms in all material respects.

(c) Trade Secrets. Seller has, in accordance with the applicable Law of each jurisdiction where the Business is conducted, taken commercially reasonable steps to protect the Business’ rights in and to any trade secrets that are material to the Business. No material trade secrets or material confidential information of the Business has been disclosed by Seller or Seller Parent to any third party other than subject to a confidentiality agreement or other obligation of confidentiality.

The Parties also agree that all Cash Receipts for the Business that are collected by either Seller Group Member or Buyer after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Cash Receipts”) will be allocated in accordance with the principle that the portion of the Post-Closing Cash Receipts that relate to the operations of the Business on or prior to the Effective Time (based on the service period set forth in the applicable invoice or other documentation for such Post-Closing Cash Receipt) shall be allocated to Seller (the “Seller Post-Closing Cash Receipts”), and the portion of the Post-Closing Cash Receipts that relate to the operation of the Business after the Effective Time will be allocated to Buyer (the “Buyer Post-Closing Cash Receipts”). Seller Parent shall be responsible for the invoicing and collecting of all Business Customers for services rendered by Seller prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Disbursements. The Parties agree that operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Disbursements”) for the Business that were paid by Seller prior to the Effective Time shall be the sole obligation of Seller (the “Pre-Closing Disbursements”). All invoices for Disbursements related to Seller’s operation of the Business prior to the Effective Time shall be delivered to Seller Parent for payment. The Parties also agree that all Disbursements for the Business that are paid by Buyer after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Disbursements”), such Disbursements shall be allocated in accordance with the principle that the portion of the Post-Closing Disbursements that relates to the operation of the Business prior to the Effective Time (based on the service period set forth in the applicable invoice or other documentation for such Post-Closing Disbursement) will be allocated to Seller (the “Seller Post-Closing Disbursements”), and the portion of the Post-Closing Disbursement that relates to the operation of the Business after the Effective Time will be allocated to Buyer (the “Buyer Post-Closing Disbursements”).

(c) Excluded Items. For the avoidance of doubt, the following pre-Closing items will be excluded from calculation of Cash Receipts and Disbursements: (i) prepaid expenses; (ii) customer deposits; and (iii) accrued paid-time off.

(d) Reconciliation Period. During each of the six (6) months after the Closing Date and thereafter as necessary from time to time (the “Reconciliation Period”), Seller Parent and Buyer will conduct a reconciliation of all Post-Closing Cash Receipts and Post-Closing Disbursements consistent with this Section 4.4 and the other provisions of this Agreement. Within ten (10) Business Days after the end of the relevant period, Seller Parent shall provide Buyer with documentation on all Post-Closing Cash Receipts collected by either Seller Group Member and Post-Closing Disbursements paid by either Seller Group Member. Within twenty (20) Business Days thereafter, Buyer shall provide Seller Parent with documentation on all Post-Closing Cash Receipts collected by Buyer and all Post-Closing Disbursements paid by Buyer and the allocation of all Post-Closing Cash Receipts and Post-Closing Disbursements between Seller and Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.4. Each of Seller Parent and Buyer will hold in trust for the other Party all Post-Closing Cash Receipts received until such time as the same have been allocated to the correct Party. Promptly following each reconciliation, and in any event within five (5) business days thereafter, Buyer shall pay Seller Parent, or Seller Parent shall pay Buyer, as applicable, the net amount due to the other Party, or otherwise settle up such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may deduct any amounts owed by Seller Parent to Buyer under this Section 4.4 from the License Agreement, which deductions will not be subject to the provisions of Section 6.6. Following the Closing, the Parties shall provide commercially reasonable cooperation with each other in order to effectuate the terms of this Section 4.4, including but not limited to promptly advising customers to direct to Buyer any future payments.

Immediately before the Effective Time, Seller Parent will terminate the employment of, or service relationship with, all Hired Business Employees. Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to provide proof to Buyer that a termination notice with respect to the Hired Business Employees was submitted to Seller’s 401(k) plan administrator within ten (10) days after the Closing Date. Seller Parent and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate on all transition matters relating to the Hired Business Employees.

(c) It is understood and agreed that (i) any offers extended by Buyer to Business Employees shall not constitute any commitment, contract or understanding (express or implied) of any obligation on the part of Buyer to a post-Closing employment relationship of any fixed term or duration or upon any terms or conditions other than those that Buyer may establish pursuant to individual offers of employment, and (ii) employment offers by Buyer are “at will” and may be terminated by Buyer or by an employee at any time for any reason.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.8, the Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 4.8 with respect to the Hired Business Employees, their dependents and beneficiaries are included for the sole benefit of the Seller Group Members, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall (i) create any third party beneficiary or other rights (A) in any other Person, including, without limitation, any employees, former employees, any participant in any Business Employee Benefit Plan, director, consultant or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (B) to continued employment or service relationship with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or (ii) prohibit or limit the ability of Buyer or its Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Buyer employee benefit plan. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 4.8 shall be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any Business Employee Benefit Plan or Buyer employee benefit plan.

4.9 Tax Matters.

(a) Seller or Seller Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, on a timely basis, all required Tax Returns with respect to the Purchased Assets for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and pay, or cause to be paid, all Tax amounts related to the Purchased Assets due on such Tax Returns, including all Taxes resulting from or payable in connection with the Transaction, regardless of the Person on whom such Taxes are imposed by legal requirements, such as transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction.

(b) Buyer and Seller Parent agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon reasonable request, as promptly as reasonably practicable, such information and assistance relating to Taxes, including, without limitation, access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Buyer, Seller or Seller Parent, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxation Authority and the prosecution or defense of any Action relating to any Tax.

Each Party shall provide to the other Parties and their respective representatives copies of, or reasonable access to (including reasonable access to make copies thereof), during normal business hours and on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, such accounting and financial information specifically related to the Business as may be reasonably necessary or required for purposes of assisting the requesting Party with any accounting or audit requirements, the preparation or filing of any Tax Returns related to the Business or to defend any Actions related to the Business.

4.11 Confidentiality.

(a) Confidentiality. Each Party agrees to keep all Confidential Material (as defined below) of each other Party confidential and not to utilize, disclose or reveal any of it in any manner, except that the Confidential Material or portions thereof may be disclosed to those of the receiving Party’s officers, employees, advisors and agents (collectively, “Representatives”) who need to know such information to consummate the Transaction (it being understood that those Representatives shall be informed of the confidentiality restrictions set forth herein and the existence of this Agreement, and each Party shall be responsible for the breach of the terms hereof or the improper disclosure of Confidential Material by any of its Representatives). Buyer shall be free to use Confidential Material of Seller or Seller Parent related specifically to the Business and included in the Purchased Assets following the Closing of this Agreement in connection with the continuation of the Business following the Closing Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.11, the Parties acknowledge that information and data regarding consumers included in the Business’ consumer or leads Databases or in the customer and supplier Databases of the Business may overlap or be comingled with information or data included in the Seller Parent’s Databases, and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude or restrict Seller or Seller Parent’s use or disclosure of such overlapping or comingled information or data for any purposes except as restricted as a Competitive Business Activity by Section 4.1. For the purpose of clarity, consumers in Seller Group’s Databases that are unique to the Business as at the xxxx Xxxxxx Parent ceases hosting the Business consumer database under the Transition Services Agreement are Confidential Material of Buyer and Seller Group will not market to these unique Business consumers unless such consumers otherwise engage with Seller Parent, Seller or any Affiliate of either for non-Business purposes after Seller Parent ceases hosting the Business consumer database under the Transition Services Agreement.

Confidential Material may also include confidential or proprietary information disclosed to a disclosing Party by a third party. “Confidential Material” does not include information which: (A) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is generally available to and known by the public (other than as a result of its disclosure by the receiving Party or its Representatives), (B) was available to the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the disclosing Party or its advisors as shown by the receiving Party’s files and records immediately prior to the time of disclosure, (C) has been independently developed by the receiving Party without violating any of its obligations under this Agreement and without the use of or reference to the Confidential Material, or (D) any information, including the existence and terms of this Agreement, disclosed publicly by a Party as permitted by Section 4.7 hereof.

(c) Required Disclosure. Except for any information, including the existence and terms of this Agreement, disclosed publicly by a Party as permitted by Section 4.7 hereof, in the event that a receiving Party or any of its Representatives is requested pursuant to or required by applicable Law, regulation or legal process to disclose any of the Confidential Material, such Party shall notify the other Party promptly so that the disclosing Party may seek a protective Order or other appropriate remedy or, in the disclosing Party’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that no such protective Order or other remedy is obtained and the receiving Party is nonetheless required to disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Material, or the disclosing Party waives compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the receiving Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Material which it is advised by its counsel is legally required and shall exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded the Confidential Material.

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made in Article 2 of this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered herewith;

(ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by the Seller Group in this Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit hereto) or any certificate required to be delivered by Seller hereunder or required to be performed by it at, prior to, or after the Effective Time;

(iii) any audit, investigation or similar inquiry from any Taxation Authority regarding Taxes owned by Seller for any Pre-Closing Tax Period;

(iv) any Assumed Liabilities and Obligations.

6.2 Third-Party Claims.

(a) In the event that any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Group Indemnified Party (as applicable, the “Indemnified Party”) desires to make a claim against a Seller Group Indemnifying Party or Buyer Indemnifying Party (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”), in connection with any Action by a third party for which it may seek indemnification hereunder (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party will promptly notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such claim and of the Indemnified Party’s claims of indemnification with respect thereto, including reasonable detail specifying the individual items of Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred (each, an “Indemnification Claim”); provided, that failure to promptly give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Section 6.2, except to the extent, if any, that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or the indemnification obligations are materially increased by reason of such failure.

(b) Subject to paragraph (f) below, the Indemnifying Party will have the right (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to participate in the Third-Party Claim or to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party by written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall (and shall cause the other applicable Indemnified Parties to) cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party must conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently following its assumption of the defense thereof in order to preserve its rights in this regard. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the right to hire counsel of its own choice to participate in any Third-Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party, which will be at the cost of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or diligently defend such assumed Third-Party Claim; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to the retention by the Indemnified Party of its own counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may consult to the extent reasonably necessary or appropriate with its outside counsel in connection with its involvement in a Third-Party Claim, the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party, solely for the purpose of coordinating with the Indemnifying Party’s counsel and assisting the Indemnified Party with respect to requests for the production of documents prepared by, or depositions of, the Indemnified Party and similar matters and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable fees and expenses of such outside counsel actually incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such consultation. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending Party, management employees of the non-defending Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation and conduct of the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to respond to such Third-Party Claim prior to the time that it receives notice from Indemnifying Party; provided that under no circumstances shall the Indemnified Party settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim prior to its receipt of notice from Indemnifying Party and provided further that no such response shall impair the Indemnifying Party rights or defenses with respect to such Third-Party Claim or increase the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume control of the defense of a Third-Party Claim to the extent the Third-Party Claim (i) seeks, as its primary purpose, an injunction against the Indemnified Party; (ii) involves criminal allegations (involving other than a monetary sentence), or (iii) is brought against a Indemnified Party and there is an unresolvable conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party resulting from the defense of such Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the judgment or proposed settlement or compromise (i) includes an unconditional release of all liability of each Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim and does not involve any finding or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, (ii) involves only the payment of money Damages that are fully covered, paid or caused to be paid by the Indemnifying Party concurrently with the effectiveness of such judgment, settlement or compromise, and (iii) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party has not assumed the defense of Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.2, the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed by the Indemnifying Party).

(e) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 6.2(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith, other than as described in the last sentence of Section 6.2(d)) and (ii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Damages (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of the Indemnified Party as a result of such Third-Party Claim to the extent subject to indemnification under this Article 6.

(f) The Indemnified Party shall, to the extent that such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to this Article 6 and assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 6.3(e) above, permit the Indemnifying Party, upon its reasonable request and at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, to participate in the process of any settlement, compromise or other resolution of any such Third-Party Claims pursuant to this Article 6, but the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to determine or conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to such Third-Party Claim, other than as described in the last sentence of Section 6.2(d).

6.3 Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party by promptly providing to the Indemnifying Party an Indemnification Claim relating to the Direct Claim. The failure to give such Indemnification Claim promptly shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or the indemnification obligations are materially increased by reason of such failure.

6.4 Limitations of Liability.

(a) Deductible. (i) No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be permitted to recover any Damages under this Article 6 until the aggregate of all such Damages incurred or suffered by such Buyer Indemnified Party exceeds $75,000 (the “Deductible”), at which point the Buyer Indemnified Party shall recover only such Damages in excess of the Deductible subject to limitations of this Article 6. The foregoing limitations in this Section 6.4(a)(i) shall not apply to any Damages arising out of, relating to or covered by (i) any breach of the representations or warranties in Section 2.12 (Taxes), or (ii) any fraudulent, intentional or willful breach by the Seller Group in connection with a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered herewith (collectively, “Unlimited Damages”). (ii) No Seller Group Indemnified Party shall be permitted to recover any Damages under this Article 6 for Third-Party Claims until the aggregate of all such Damages incurred or suffered by such Seller Group Indemnified Party exceeds $40,000 (the “Buyer Deductible”), at which point the Seller Group Indemnified Party shall recover only such Damages in excess of the Buyer Deductible subject to the limitations of this Article 6. The forgoing limitations with respect to the Seller Group Indemnified Party in this Section 6.4(a)(ii) shall not apply to (i) any Damages arising out of, or relating to, the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations; or (ii) any fraudulent, intentional or willful breach by Buyer in connection with a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered herewith.

(b) Survival. All representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall expire on, and no Indemnifying Party will be liable for any Damages hereunder with respect to a breach of such representations and warranties unless a written Indemnification Claim is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto prior to, the eighteen (18)-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Indemnification Expiration Date”); provided, that (i) the representations and warranties in Section 2.12 (Taxes) shall survive until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations, and (ii) in the event of any fraudulent, intentional or willful breach by a Party in connection with a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered herewith such representation or warranty shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations. All covenants and agreements of the Parties shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing, except to the extent such covenants or agreements provide that they are to be performed after the Closing, in which case such covenants or agreements shall expire upon the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations related the breach of such covenant or agreement; provided, however, that no right to indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 in respect of any claim based upon any breach of a covenant or agreement occurring prior to the expiration of such covenant or agreement shall be affected by the expiration of such covenant or agreement if a written Indemnification Claim is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto prior to the expiration of such covenant or agreement.

(c) Maximum Liability. Subject to this Section 6.4, the maximum aggregate amount of Damages that may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties as a whole will not exceed $900,000. The foregoing limitations in this Section 6.5(c) shall not apply to any Unlimited Damages.

(d) Sole and Exclusive Source for Recovery of Damages. The sole source for recovery of Damages to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties have incurred and are entitled to recover under this Article 6 shall be by way of offset against the payments due to the Seller Group Members under the Transitional License and Linking Agreement.

6.5 Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, except in cases involving intentional misrepresentation, fraud or willful misconduct, the remedies set forth in this Article 6 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for money Damages and shall be in lieu of any other remedies for money Damages that may be available to the Parties with respect to any Damages of any kind or nature incurred directly or indirectly resulting from or arising out of this Agreement or the Transaction (it being understood that nothing in this Section 6.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the Parties’ rights to specific performance or other similar equitable non-monetary remedies). The Parties each hereby waive any provision of applicable Law to the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreement contained in this Section 6.4.

6.6 Claims Unaffected by Investigation or Waiver. The right of an Indemnified Party to indemnification or to assert or recover on any Indemnification Claim shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge capable of being acquired, at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy of or compliance with, any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements set forth in this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.6, an Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to obtain indemnification under this Article 6 with respect to a Direct Claim to the extent the Indemnified Party had actual knowledge prior to Closing (i) of the particular facts or circumstances that gave rise to the Direct Claim and (ii) that such particular facts or circumstances could constitute the basis for a Direct Claim for indemnification under this Article 6.

EXHIBIT C

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is dated as of January 1, 2016 (“Effective Date”), and has been executed by and among Internet Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Xxx.xxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and Autobytel Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller Parent”) (Seller and Seller Parent are collectively referred to herein as the “Seller Group,” and hereafter at time individually as a “Member of the Seller Group” or “Seller Group Member”), and Internet Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”) (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December 19, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for the sale by the Seller Group of the Purchased Assets to Buyer and the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities and Obligations, as more fully set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer desires to obtain from the Seller Group, and the Seller Group desires to provide to the Buyer, certain Services (as defined below) during the Transition Period (as defined below) to ensure an orderly transition of the Business (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to Buyer. In each case, the Services will be provided on a transitional basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows.

1. DEFINITIONS

For the purposes of this Agreement, the following capitalized terms are defined in this Section 1 and shall have the meaning specified herein. Other terms that are capitalized but not specifically defined in this Section 1 or in the body of the Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

1.1 “Services” shall mean those services set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, which may be amended or supplemented pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

1.2 “Transition Employees” shall mean the employees that Seller will employ and make available to Buyer for certain fixed periods set forth on Exhibit B.

1.3 “Transition Period” shall mean the period of time beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the termination date for the Service set forth on Exhibit A.

2. SERVICES

2.1 Provision of Services. During the Transition Period, the Seller Group shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement provide the Services set forth on Exhibit A. The Parties agree to cooperate in providing an orderly transition of the Services. The Parties shall not have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement other than those specifically set forth on Exhibit A, except as may be reasonably needed for the continued operation for the Business and that are incidental to and within the scope of the services currently contemplated by Exhibit A.

2.2 Termination of Services. Buyer may determine from time to time that it does not require all the Services set out on Exhibit A or that it does not require such Services for the entire Transition Period. Accordingly, Buyer may terminate any Service upon 30 days notification to Seller in writing of any such termination and the expiration of any applicable monthly period, as set forth on Exhibit A; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be entitled to terminate the Buyer Services set forth in Section 1.1 of Exhibit A.

2.3 Extension of Services. The Parties agree that the Seller Group Members shall not be obligated to perform any Service after the applicable Transition Period, except to the extent a migration or transfer that is part of such Service has not been completed because of a Seller Group Member’s nonperformance of its obligations hereunder (which nonperformance was not caused by Buyer or its contractors or suppliers) in providing the Service during the Transition Period; provided, however, that if Buyer desires and the Seller Group Members agree to continue to perform any of the Services after the applicable Transition Period, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine an amount that compensates the Seller Group Members for their costs for such performance, including the time of its employees and its Out-of-Pocket Costs (as defined below). The Services so performed by the Seller Group Members after the applicable Transition Period shall continue to constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement for the duration of the agreed-upon extension period.

2.4 Additional Services. Notwithstanding the contents of Exhibit A, the Seller Group Members agree to respond in a commercially reasonably manner to any reasonable request by Buyer for access to any additional services that are necessary for the operation of the Business and which are not currently contemplated in Exhibit A, at a price to be agreed upon after good faith negotiations between the Parties. Any such additional services so provided by the Seller Group Members shall be added as an amendment to Exhibit A and shall constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respect to the provisions of this Agreement.

2.5 Standard of Services.

(a) The Parties hereto acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services. Accordingly, as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to make a transition of each Service to its own internal organization or to obtain alternate third-party sources to provide the Services, in Buyer’s sole discretion. If Buyer deems that personnel of a Seller Group Member performing Services do not have the necessary authority, Buyer may escalate the Service to appropriate Seller Parent staff at Buyer’s discretion.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyer understands and agrees that: (i) the Seller Group Members are not in the business of providing to third parties the services provided to the Buyer under this Agreement; (ii) the standard to which the Seller Group Members shall be accountable under this Agreement shall be to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services at the same standard of care and on substantially the same basis as historically provided to the Business; (iii) the Seller Group Members shall provide the Services using such of their resources, assets and personnel as are required to perform the Services with the standards set forth in this paragraph; and (iv) all Services are furnished on a non-exclusive basis.

(c) Except as may be specifically set forth in Exhibit A, nothing in this Agreement shall require a Seller Group Member to retain any leased facilities or equipment related to the Services in order to provide the applicable Services. In the event a party intends to assign, sublease or terminate a lease prior to the expiration date of the particular Service, that party shall provide the other party at least sixty (60) days’ written notice of the first party’s intent to terminate the lease.

(d) Except as may be specifically set forth on Exhibit A, neither Seller Group Member shall be required to repair, service or maintain any Business Tangible Personal Property used in the performance of the applicable Services.

2.6 Security. During the Transition Period, the Buyer may be given access to certain parts of a Seller Group Member’s information technology infrastructure (“Shared Systems”). Such access to Shared Systems or related applications shall be through secured controlled processes as determined by the Seller Parent. Those employees of the Buyer that require access to the Shared Systems or related applications may be required by the Seller Parent to enter into customary non-disclosure agreements in connection with, and as a condition to, such access. Neither Seller Group Member shall transfer to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall have no rights in or access to, application software or systems source code associated with the Shared Systems. Buyer shall comply with all of Seller Parent’s acceptable use, security, and other policies applicable to the access and use of the Shared Systems. Seller Parent represents and warrants that it will take commercially reasonable measures to protect the Business customers’ Personal Information from unauthorized access during the Transition Period. Upon any breach of Personal Information, Seller Parent will immediately notify Buyer.

2.7 Third Party Licenses and Consents. The Seller Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and to keep and maintain in effect, all third party licenses and consents required for the provision of any Service by a Seller Group Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that if the Seller Group is unable to obtain any such license or consent through the use of commercially reasonable efforts, the Seller Parent shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and the parties shall mutually agree on what is needed for such Service including, if necessary, the Seller Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement an appropriate alternative arrangement. The costs relating to obtaining any such licenses or consents shall be borne by the applicable Seller Group Member and shall constitute Out-of-Pocket Costs. If any such license, consent or alternative arrangement is not available despite the commercially reasonable efforts of the Seller Group, Seller Group shall be relieved of any obligation to continue providing the applicable Service and Buyer shall secure its own license, consent or alternative arrangement.

3. TRANSITION EMPLOYEES. Seller Parent agrees to employ and make available for the performance of the Services each Transition Employee set forth on Exhibit B until the earliest of (i) such termination date set forth on Exhibit B, (ii) the date such Transition Employee takes any action, or fails to take any action, that gives rise to cause for termination in accordance with Seller Parent’s policies, or (iii) the date such Transition Employee resigns his or her employment with Seller (such earliest date in respect to a Transition Employee, the Transition Employee’s “Termination Date”). Buyer may terminate the use of any Transition Employee under this Agreement at any time by providing Seller Parent not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice. In the event that a Transition Employee resigns or is terminated for cause by Seller Parent, neither Seller Group Member shall have any obligation to hire another person to replace such Transition Employee; however, in such event, the Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree on any necessary changes to resources provided under the Services. Seller Parent is responsible for (i) the payment of any and all wages, pro-rated bonus, benefits and other remuneration that may become earned, due and payable to the Transition Employees, (ii) the payment of any and all applicable termination, severance or pension related payments and the provision of any and all notice required under any benefit plan and then notification and provisions of health plan continuation coverage, if any, in accordance with the requirements of COBRA, and (iii) the provision of any and all notices pursuant to WARN, if applicable, and any and all payments to employees required (or made to avoid any liability) under WARN in the event sufficient notice under such statues has not been given. As between Seller Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, each Transition Employee is and will remain at all times an employee of Seller Parent, except to the extent the Transition Employee resigns his or her employment with Seller Parent or his or her employment with Seller Parent is otherwise terminated.

4. FEES AND PAYMENT.

4.1 Fees. Buyer shall pay fees specified for certain Service(s), including the agreed upon costs and expenses associated with Transition Employees and allocations of applicable Seller and Seller Parent personnel, license, vendors, and facilities costs and expenses, as specified on Exhibit A (each a “Fee” and collectively, the “Fees”) in accordance with this Section 4. In addition to such Fees, in the event that either Seller Group Member incurs any of the following in connection with or related to the performance of the Services (i) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third party fees, direct or indirect costs or expenses; (ii) any travel or other business expenses incurred by a Seller Group Member and approved by Buyer in connection with and necessary for providing the Services; and (iii) all applicable federal, state and local sales, use, service, value-added, excise or other Taxes paid or payable by any Party in connection with the Services to the extent incurred by a Seller Group Member, but excluding payments made to employees of a Seller Group Member pursuant to Section 4.2, (all such included expenses under clauses (i)-(iii) being referred to herein as “Out-of-Pocket Costs”), Buyer will reimburse Seller Parent for such Out-of-Pocket Costs in accordance with the invoicing procedures set forth in Section 4.3. For the purpose of clarity, Seller Group’s delivery of Purchased Assets are a duty under the Purchase Agreement and Buyer will not be responsible for Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred solely as a result of the delivery of Purchased Assets as provided in the Purchase Agreement.

4.2 Seller Group Employees. For such time as any employees of either Seller Group Member are providing the Services to Buyer under this Agreement, (i) such employees will remain employees of the applicable Seller Group Member and shall not be deemed to be employees of Buyer for any purpose, and (ii) the applicable Seller Group Member shall be solely responsible for the payment and provision of all earned, due and payable wages, bonuses and commissions, employee benefits, including severance and worker's compensation, and the withholding and payment of applicable Taxes relating to such employment.

4.3 Payment; Invoices. Seller Parent will deliver to Buyer a monthly invoice setting forth the Fees charged for each Service for which Fees are owed for the preceding month, in reasonable detail, and any such supporting documentation as Buyer may reasonably request with respect to Out-of-Pocket Costs. Buyer shall pay such undisputed Fees within thirty (30) days after receipt of each such invoice; provided that if in the course of providing any Service, either Seller Group Member is required by a third party to make a payment in advance of the services rendered by such third party, Buyer shall pay the applicable amount to Seller Parent on or before the date the applicable Seller Group Member must make the payment; provided further that Seller Parent provides to Buyer at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of such payment, otherwise Seller Parent will pay the applicable amount and Buyer will promptly reimburse Seller Parent for the expense.

4.4 Fee Changes. It is the intent of the Parties that the compensation set forth in the Exhibit A, if any, reasonably approximates the cost of providing the Services, including the cost of employee wages, compensation and benefits, without any intent to cause a Seller Group Member to profit from or incur any loss in connection with the provision of the Services. If at any xxxx Xxxxxx Parent believes that the payments contemplated by Exhibit A are materially insufficient to compensate it for the cost of providing the Services it is obligated to provide hereunder (excluding, for clarity, any Services for which no compensation is set forth), or Buyer believes that the payments contemplated by Exhibit A materially overcompensate the Seller Group for such Services, such Party shall notify the other Party as soon as possible, and the Parties hereto will commence good faith negotiations toward an amendment to this Agreement as to the appropriate course of action with respect to pricing of such Services for future periods.

5. LICENSE TO BUYER MATERIALS; OWNERSHIP; RETURN.

5.1 License to Buyer Materials. During the Transition Period, the Buyer grants to the Seller Group Members a non-exclusive license to use the hardware, software, records, manuals, documentation, databases and other intellectual property that is owned by or licensed to the Buyer following the Closing Date (collectively, the “Buyer Materials”) solely for the purpose of providing the Services during the Transition Period. During the Transition Period, the Buyer shall provide or grant access to the Seller Group Members only those Buyer Materials and other data and information that is necessary to enable the Seller Group Members to perform the Services.

5.2 Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights and Other Property. This Agreement and the performance of the Services hereunder will not affect the ownership of any property or Intellectual Property Rights as set forth in the Purchase Agreement and applicable ancillary agreements. Neither Party will gain, by virtue of this Agreement or the Services provided hereunder, by implication or otherwise, any rights of ownership of any property or Intellectual Property Rights.

6. COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION. The Seller Group and the Buyer shall each appoint personnel who will serve as the primary point of contact for the other Party for various matters or Services related to this Agreement (each a “Services Manager”). Either Party may replace its applicable Services Manager with an individual of comparable qualifications and experience by notifying the other Party of such new appointment. The initial Service Manager(s) of each Party are identified on Exhibit A.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of the Parties hereto expressly acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement will be subject to the terms of confidentiality set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

8. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING ANY LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES (WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED), EVEN IF THE PARTY PROVIDING SERVICES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR AND TO THE EXTENT OF ANY DIRECT DAMAGES TO THE BUYER CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF A SELLER GROUP MEMBER IN THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES.

9. DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.5 (STANDARD OF SERVICES), THE SERVICES, AND ANY FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT, OR OTHER ITEMS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” NEITHER SELLER GROUP MEMBER MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, AND THE SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

10. TERM AND TERMINATION.

10.1 Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement begins on the Closing Date and will continue until the end of the Transition Period.

10.2 Termination for Cause. Each Party may terminate this Agreement immediately, upon written notice if the other Party materially breaches any term of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt by the breaching Party of written notice from the non-breaching Party describing such breach.

10.3 Effect of Termination. Immediately following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, or the termination of any particular Service, the Seller Group Members shall cease, or cause their Affiliates or subcontractors to cease, providing the Services or applicable Services. In the event of termination by either Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or expiration of the Agreement, any undisputed amount outstanding and payable as of the date of the termination shall remain payable by the Buyer and due immediately upon termination.
