Section 2.02. Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.03 the aggregate consideration for the Purchased Securities shall be Six Million Fifty Thousand Dollars ($6,050,000) plus the Earn-Out Payment, if any (the “Purchase Price”).

(a) The Purchase Price shall be comprised of the following:

(i) One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) less: (i) Seller Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date (which Buyer shall instead pay to the parties and in the amounts described in the Payment Schedule) (collectively, the “Cash Consideration Amount”);

(ii) Two Million Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,550,000) payable in the aggregate to Seller by the issuance of shares of restricted common stock of Buyer (the “Rollover Equity”), valued at the 5-day trailing weighted average closing price of the Buyer’s common stock as quoted on Nasdaq on the Closing Date;

(iii) A non-negotiable convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) issued by the Buyer to the Seller (the “Convertible Note”), which Convertible Note is convertible into shares of restricted common stock of Buyer at a price of Six Dollars ($6.00) per share and is payable in full, to the extent not previously converted, on February 15, 2023;

Section 2.03. PurchasePrice Adjustment.

(a) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Xxxxx shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement, setting forth Buyer’s calculation of Closing Working Capital and the Purchase Price resulting therefrom (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”), prepared in accordance with the definitions in this Agreement.

(ii) The “Post-Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital minus the Target Closing Working Capital. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, then Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment.

(b) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, Seller shall have 30 days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, Seller and its Representatives shall have reasonable access to the relevant books and records of Company and Buyer, the relevant personnel of Buyer and/or Buyer’s Representatives to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below); provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer.

(c) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller. If Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, shall be final and binding.

(d) Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (the “Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to an accountant mutually agreed to by the Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and its decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively. Each party represents and warrants to the other that the Independent Accountant has not provided any services within the past five (5) years to such party, to its Affiliates or to any Person directly or indirectly owning any equity interest in such party or any of its Affiliates.

(e) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Xxxxxx and Buyer.

(f) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(g) Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall be due (x) within 5 Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within 5 Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above.

(i) If the Post-Closing Adjustment as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.03 is a positive number, the Buyer shall promptly (but in any event within 5 Business Days after the final determination thereof) deliver to the Seller the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Seller.

(ii) If the Post-Closing Adjustment as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.03 is a negative number (the “Purchase Price Overpayment”), the Seller shall promptly (but in any event within 5 Business Days after the final determination thereof) deliver to the Buyer the amount of such Purchase Price Overpayment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Buyer.

(h) Adjustment for Tax Purposes. Any payments or adjustments made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.04. Allocation of Purchase Price. Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a schedule (the “Allocation Statement”) allocating the Purchase Price (and any other amounts properly taken into account in the amount realized by Seller or cost basis to the Buyer) among the assets of the Company for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) in accordance with Code Section 1060 and applicable Treasury Regulations and following the guidelines and principles set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Allocation Schedule”). If the Seller notifies the Buyer in writing within 30 days following Xxxxxx’s receipt of the Allocation Statement that the Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Statement, then Seller and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if the Seller and the Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Statement within 30 days following Seller’s objection, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by the Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand. The Buyer will prepare and deliver to Seller from time to time revised copies of the Allocation Statement so as to report any matters that may need updating (including purchase price adjustments, if any) and such revised Allocation Statement shall be subject to review by Seller in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.04. The parties hereto (and their Affiliates) shall prepare and file all Tax Returns and reports, including IRS Form 8594, on a basis consistent with the final Allocation Statement and shall make consistent use of the allocation as set forth on the Allocation Statement for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. None of the parties hereto, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall take any position on any Tax Return (including IRS Form 8594), before any Taxing Authority, Governmental Authority or in any judicial or other Action which is inconsistent with such allocation of the Purchase Price unless required to do so by applicable Law, including determining the portion of the gain or loss recognized by the Seller that is attributable to “unrealized receivables” and “inventory items” as such terms are defined in Code Section 751.

Section 2.05.Withholding Tax. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that Buyer may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of Tax Law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Seller hereunder.

Section 2.06.Intended Tax Treatment.The parties hereto agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated for federal income Tax purposes (and, where applicable, state income Tax purposes) as (the “Intended Tax Treatment”) as a sale by the Seller of the Purchased Securities in exchange for the Purchase Price, to be reported for Tax purposes in accordance with Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432. The Parties agree to report the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment in all respects.[1]

Section 2.07. Earn Out.

(a) Earn-Out Payments. As additional consideration for the Purchased Securities, Buyer shall pay to Seller with respect to the Earn-Out Period an amount, if any (the “Earn-Out Payment”), equal to Seven (7.00%) Percent of the amount by which Company’s Net Revenue during such Earn-Out Period exceeds Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000), capped at Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000).

(b) Procedures Applicable to Determination of the Earn-out Payment.

(i) On or before the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days after the last day of the Earn-Out Period (such date, the “Earn-Out Calculation Delivery Date”), Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a written statement (the “Earn-Out Calculation Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its determination of Net Revenue for the Earn-Out Period and the resulting Earn-Out Payment (the “Earn-Out Calculation”).

(ii) Seller shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Earn-Out Calculation Statement (the “Earn-Out Review Period”) to review the Earn-Out Calculation Statement and the Earn-Out Calculation set forth therein. During the Earn-Out Review Period, Seller and its accountants shall have the right to inspect Buyer’s books and records during normal business hours at Buyer’s offices, upon reasonable prior notice and solely for purposes reasonably related to the determinations of Net Revenue and the resulting Earn-Out Payment. Prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, Seller may object to the Earn-Out Calculation set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement by delivering a written notice of objection (an “Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice”) to Buyer. Any Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice shall specify the items in the applicable Earn-Out Calculation disputed by Seller and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, as well as to the extent reasonably determinable the amount in dispute. If Seller fail to deliver an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, then the Earn-Out Calculation set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. If Seller timely delivers an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed items and agree upon the resulting amount of the Net Revenue and the Earn-Out Payment. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after such an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice has been given, all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to the Independent Accountant (as defined below). The Independent Accountant shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed items with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Calculation as promptly as practicable, but in no event greater than thirty (30) days after such submission to the Independent Accountant, and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice. If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Independent Accountant, Xxxxx and Seller shall each furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request. Each of Buyer and Xxxxxx also may deliver to the Independent Accountant such information as each may deem appropriate for such accountant’s consideration of the disputed items. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations or information provided by Buyer and Seller, and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute and the calculation of Net Revenue that is the subject of the applicable Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice by the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the parties hereto absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Seller and Buyer in proportion to the amounts by which their calculation of Net Revenue differs from Net Revenue, as finally determined by the Independent Accountant.

(iii) Timing of Payment of Earn-Out Payments. Subject to Section 2.07(b)(v), with respect to any Earn-Out Payment that Buyer is required to pay pursuant to Section 2.07(a) hereof, Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days following the date upon which the determination of the Earn-Out Payment becomes final and binding upon the parties (including any final resolution of any dispute raised by Seller in an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice), make payment to Seller of Fifty (50.00%) Percent of said Earn-Out Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Seller, and Fifty (50.00%) Percent of said Earn-Out Payment in additional Rollover Equity in Buyer valued at the lower of Six Dollars ($6.00) per share or the 5-day trailing average closing price of the Buyer’s common stock on Nasdaq on the 90^th day after the close of the Company’s 2022 calendar year.

(iv) Post-closing Operation of the Business. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, subsequent to the Closing, Buyer shall have sole discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the Business; provided, that Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, take any actions in bad faith that would have the effect of avoiding or reducing any of the Earn-Out Payment hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer has no obligation to operate the Business in order to achieve any Earn-Out Payment or to maximize the amount of any Earn-Out Payment.

(v) Right of Set-off. Buyer, upon at least 10 days advance written notice to Seller setting forth the grounds for such set-off, shall have the right to withhold and set off against any amount otherwise due to be paid pursuant to this Section or Section 2.02(a)(iii) the amount of any Losses to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under ARTICLE IX of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(vi) No Security. The parties hereto understand and agree that (i) the contingent rights to receive any Earn-Out Payment shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, are not transferable, except by operation of Laws relating to descent and distribution, divorce and community property, and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Buyer, (ii) Seller shall not have any rights as a securityholder of Buyer as a result of Seller’s contingent right to receive any Earn-Out Payment hereunder, and (iii) no interest is payable with respect to any Earn-Out Payment, unless the same is not paid timely, in which event interest shall accrue on the unpaid amount from the date due until the date paid at that per annum interest rate which is the variable prime rate, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal (or if not so published, then Bank of America’s variable prime rate), plus three percent.

Section 7.11. Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Seller when due, and Seller will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable law, the Buyer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. Seller shall promptly provide to Buyer copies of all filed Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes and reasonable written evidence that all Transfer Taxes have been timely paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the portion of Tax, with respect to the income, property or operations of the Company that are attributable to any Tax period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) will be apportioned between the period of the Straddle Period that extends before the Closing Date through the end of the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”) and the period of the Straddle Period that extends from the day after the Closing Date to the end of the Straddle Period (the “Post-Closing Straddle Period”) in accordance with this Section 7.11.

(c) The portion of such Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period will (i) in the case of any Taxes other than sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on and included the Closing Date. The portion of Tax attributable to a Post-Closing Straddle Period will be calculated in a corresponding manner. To the extent that any Tax for a Straddle Period is based on the greater of a Tax on net income, on the one hand, and a Tax measured by net worth or some other basis not otherwise measured by income, on the other hand, the portion of such Tax related to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the Post-Closing Straddle Period will be determined based on the foregoing and based on the manner in which the actual Tax liability for the entire Straddle Period is determined. In the case of a Tax that is (y) paid for the privilege of doing business during a period (a “Privilege Period”) and (z) computed based on business activity occurring during an accounting period ending prior to such Privilege Period, any reference to a “Tax period,” a “tax period,” or a “taxable period” will mean such accounting period and not such Privilege Period.

(d) The Seller will prepare and timely file (with applicable extensions), or cause to be prepared and timely filed (with applicable extensions), all income Tax Returns of the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Periods that will be filed on or after the Closing Date (the “Seller-Prepared Tax Returns”). The Seller-Prepared Tax Returns will be prepared in a manner consistent with Company’s past practice, procedures and accounting methods applied by the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. At least forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which each such Seller-Prepared Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period is due (with applicable extensions), the Seller will submit such Seller-Prepared Tax Return to the Buyer for review and comment. The Buyer will provide any written comments to the Seller no later than twenty (20) days after receiving any such Seller-Prepared Tax Return and, if the Buyer does not provide any written comments within such 20-day period, the Buyer will be deemed to have accepted such Seller-Prepared Tax Return. The Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to such Seller-Prepared Tax Return. If the Parties are unable to resolve any such dispute at least fifteen (15) days before the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Seller-Prepared Tax Return, the Buyer and the Seller will jointly engage the Independent Accountant to resolve such dispute. The Buyer and the Seller will share equally the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Seller-Prepared Tax Return, such Seller-Prepared Tax Return will be filed as prepared by the Seller subject to amendment, if necessary, to reflect the resolution of the dispute by the Independent Accountant.

(e) The Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file (with applicable extensions), or cause to be timely filed (with applicable extensions), all Tax Returns of the Company required to be filed after the Closing Date (i) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Periods, other than those Tax Returns that are prepared by the Seller pursuant to Section 7.14(a) and (ii) with respect to any Straddle Period (the “Buyer-Prepared Tax Returns”). The Buyer-Prepared Tax Returns will be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices, procedures and accounting methods applied by the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. At least forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which each such Buyer-Prepared Tax Return is due (with applicable extensions), the Buyer will submit such Buyer-Prepared Tax Return to the Seller for review and comment. The Seller will provide any written comments to the Buyer no later than twenty (20) days after receiving any such Buyer-Prepared Tax Return and, if the Seller does not provide any written comments within such 20-day period, the Seller will be deemed to have accepted such Buyer-Prepared Tax Return. The Buyer and Xxxxxx will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to any such Buyer-Prepared Tax Return. If the Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any such dispute at least fifteen (15) days before the date (with applicable extensions) for any such Buyer-Prepared Tax Return, the Buyer and the Seller will jointly engage the Independent Accountant to resolve such dispute. The Buyer and the Seller will share equally the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Buyer-Prepared Tax Return, such Buyer-Prepared Tax Return will be filed as prepared by the Buyer subject to amendment, if necessary, to reflect the resolution of the dispute by the Independent Accountant.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Indemnified Taxes owed with respect to any Buyer-Prepared Tax Return, Seller shall pay an amount equal to the amount of such Indemnified Taxes to the Buyer no later than ten (10) days prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) of such Buyer-Prepared Tax Returns.

(g) In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations and any administrative or judicial Proceedings relating to the Tax liabilities imposed on the Company, the Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, will cooperate fully with each other, including, without limitation, the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Taxing Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes.

(h) The Seller and Buyer agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller has the right to represent the interests of the Company before the relevant Governmental Entity with respect to any inquiry, assessment, Proceeding or other similar event relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Tax Matter”) and have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter, and the Buyer will have such right with respect to a Straddle Period.

(j) If a Tax Matter for a Pre-Closing Tax Period could impact the Buyer or the Company from and after the Closing, then the Buyer will have the right to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and the Seller will not enter into any settlement or other compromise any such Tax Matter to the extent it would adversely affect the Buyer or the Company from and after the Closing without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

(k) The Seller will be entitled to any Tax refunds or direct credits, including any amounts credited against Tax to which the Company shall become entitled (including the employee retention credit under Section 2301 of the CARES Act,, as amended), including interest paid therewith, in respect of Taxes paid by the Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided that, (i) the amount the Buyer is required to pay to the Seller will be reduced by any net Taxes paid or expected to be paid with respect to such refund or credit and by any third-party costs or expenses associated with obtaining such refund or credit; (ii) no amount will be required to be paid to the Seller to the extent it relates to a carryback of a Tax attribute from a period (or portion thereof) following the Closing Date; and (iii) no Tax refund or credit, if such refund or credit is not in the form of cash, will be treated as having been received unless such refund or credit is actually realized and only to the extent that the Buyer will have had Taxes which it would otherwise be required to pay (or have paid on its behalf) reduced or eliminated as a result of such refund or credit. Subject to the foregoing, the Buyer will forward or pay to the Seller such Tax refund or direct credits within ten (10) Business Days after receipt or realization thereof.

(l) If requested by Xxxxx, Seller shall, at no cost to Seller, cooperate with Buyer in requesting the Company make a Code Section 754 election effective for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date, or take any other action as may be reasonably necessary and as reasonably requested by Buyer to cause the Company to make such election.

(m) The Seller agrees that Seller shall comply with all IRS Rules and Regulations applicable to any Seller Prepared Tax Return with regard to the deduction of expenses financed with PPP Loan proceeds.

(b) Seller Indemnity Basket. Seller shall have no liability for indemnification with respect to claims under Section 9.02 until the total Losses with respect to such matters exceed $50,000.00 (the “Threshold”), at which point, excepted as limited by the Liability Cap, Buyer shall be entitled to recover for any and all Losses incurred hereunder beginning with the first dollar after the Threshold (the “Seller Deductible”).

(c) Seller Maximum. In no event shall the aggregate indemnification obligations of Seller hereunder exceed $4,500,000.00 (“Liability Cap”), except with respect to fraud or willful misconduct.

Section 9.05. Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE IX is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE IX is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice 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 by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice (confirming the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify and intention to defend) to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided,that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company, (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, or (z) could result in criminal liability for Buyer or any of its post-Closing Affiliates or Representatives. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 9.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided,that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.05(b) pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 7.03) 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 of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 9.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice 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 by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE IX, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion of the claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion of such claim) becomes finally determined.

Section 9.06. Payments. Any Losses payable to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Article shall first be satisfied from the following sources in the following order: (i) set off (or repurchase) of the Rollover Equity, based on the greater of (A) the value of such Rollover Equity as of the Closing Date or (B) the value of such Rollover Equity, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Buyer, as of the date the amount of the indemnity amount was finally agreed or determined, then (ii) set off against any amounts owed under the Convertible Note, then (iii) set off against any Earn-Out Payment, then (iv) from the Seller in cash. Any payments required to be made by any Indemnifying Party in cash hereunder shall be satisfied within ten (10) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Section 9.07. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 9.08. Insurance; Other Adjustments.

(a) Without limiting Section 9.08(b), the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any specific Losses under this ARTICLE IX shall be reduced by (a) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually paid to such Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses, net however of any deductibles or other actual out-of-pocket costs or expenses to or incurred by the Indemnified Party to obtain such proceeds; and (b) the amount of any indemnification, contribution, and other similar payment proceeds actually recovered by such Indemnified Party from a person or entity other than the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Losses, net of any reasonable costs associated with obtaining such proceeds and incurred by such Indemnified Party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under any provision of this Agreement for specific Losses to the extent such person has actually been indemnified or reimbursed for such Losses by the Indemnifying Party or any other third party. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party with respect to any Losses that is the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Losses has been paid or deemed paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party in immediately available funds the difference, if any, between (i) the total amount received or deemed received from all sources for such Losses, minus (ii) the amount of such Losses, it being agreed that with respect to such Losses, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to receive and retain more than the amount of such Losses.
