(B) a decrease by the outstanding Indebtedness of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (which shall in no event be an amount less than the amounts paid by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i)(A)); and

(C) a decrease by the amount of unpaid Transaction Expenses of the Company and/or the Sellers as of the close of business on the Closing Date (which shall in no event be an amount less than the amounts paid by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i)(B)).

The net amount after giving effect to the adjustments listed above in this 2.05(a) shall be the “Closing Date Payment”.

(ii) Buyer acknowledges receipt of a statement setting forth Seller Representative’s good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), which statement contains an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), a calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement”). The Sellers represent and warrant that the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller Representative a statement setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital, which statement shall contain an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), a calculation of Closing Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Buyer certifying that the Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. No failure or delay of Buyer in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

(ii) The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital minus the Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”).

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, Seller Representative shall have thirty (30) days (the “Adjustment Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Adjustment Review Period, Buyer shall provide Seller Representative and Sellers’ Accountants with full access to the books and records of the Company, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, 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 or control) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as Seller Representative may reasonably request in writing for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections, provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Company.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Adjustment Review Period, Seller Representative may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller Representative’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller Representative’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Seller Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Adjustment 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 Representative and Sellers. If Seller Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period, Buyer and Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (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 Xxxxx and Seller Representative, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Seller Representative 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 (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to 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 Parties agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned by the Parties to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Seller Representative, on the one hand, and by Xxxxx, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller Representative (on behalf of Sellers) or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller Representative (on behalf of Xxxxxxx) and Buyer. By way of example, if Seller Representative submits that Sellers are owed $500,000 in Disputed Amounts, and Buyer submits that Sellers are only owed $300,000, and the Independent Accountant determines that Sellers are owed $450,000, then Buyer shall bear 75% of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses (Sellers having been awarded 75% of the $200,000 differential), with Sellers bearing the remaining 25%.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the Buyer and Seller Representative 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.

(d) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be satisfied as follows: (i) for any Post-Closing Adjustment owed by Buyers to Sellers, one-sixth of such adjustment payable monthly for each of the 6 months following the acceptance of the Closing Working Capital Statement; and (ii) for any Post-Closing Adjustment owed by Sellers to Buyer, such Post-Closing Adjustment shall be satisfied in the following order: (A) from the Escrow Account; (B) to the extent the amount of such Post-Closing Adjustment exceeds the amount available in the Escrow Account, by holdback of any Earn-Out Payments otherwise earned and payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.06; (C) to the extent the amount of such Post-Closing Adjustment exceeds the amount available to Buyer via (A) and (B) above, jointly and severally from Xxxxx X. XxXxxxxx and Xxxxx X. XxXxxxxx, in their respective individual capacities; and (D) to the extent the amount of Post-Closing Adjustment exceeds the amount available from (A) through (C) above, jointly and severally from the Sellers.

(e) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.05 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.06 Earn-Out.

(a) Earn-Out Payments. As additional consideration for the Shares, at such times as provided in Section 2.06(d), Buyer (or, at the direction of Buyer, the Company) shall pay to the Sellers (as directed by Seller Representative) with respect to each Calculation Period within the Earn-Out Period an amount, if any (each, an “Earn-Out Payment”), equal to 7.5% of the gross revenue actually received and collected by the Company during the applicable Calculation Period (excepting that during the final Calculation Period, gross revenue shall include the full amount of any accepted purchase orders regardless of payment schedule) from those customers of the Company existing as of the Closing Date and set forth on Schedule 2.06(a) (the “Existing Customers”), related to sales by the Company of Company products that were in existence on the Closing Date (in each case, the “Earn-Out Revenue”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) any gross revenue received and collected by the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates from Existing Customers related to sales by the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates of any product that was not a Company product in existence on the Closing Date shall not be considered Earn-Out Revenue; and (ii) each Earn-Out Payment shall be treated as a payment of deferred Purchase Price for all purposes.

(b) Procedures Applicable to Determination of the Earn-Out Payments.

(i) Earn-Out Calculation Statement. On or before the date which is forty (40) days after the last day of each Calculation Period (each such date, an “Earn-Out Calculation Delivery Date”), Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a written statement (in each case, an “Earn-Out Calculation Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its determination of the Earn-Out Revenue for the applicable Calculation Period and its calculation of the resulting Earn-Out Payment (in each case, an “Earn-Out Calculation”). No failure or delay of Buyer in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the other obligations or liabilities of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

(ii) Review of Earn-Out Calculation Statement. The Seller Representative shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Earn-Out Calculation Statement for each Calculation Period (in each case, 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, the Seller Representative and its Representatives shall have the right to inspect the Company’s books and records during normal business hours at the Company’s offices, upon reasonable prior notice and solely for purposes reasonably related to the determinations of the Earn-Out Revenue and the resulting Earn-Out Payment. Prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, the Seller Representative may object to the Earn-Out Calculation set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement for the applicable Calculation Period by delivering a written notice of objection (each, 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 the Seller Representative and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, as well as the amount in dispute. If the Seller Representative fails 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. If the Seller Representative timely delivers an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed items and agree upon the resulting amount of the Earn-Out Revenue and the Earn-Out Payment for the applicable Calculation Period.

(iii) Determination by Independent Accountant. If Buyer and the Seller Representative 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. 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 ninety (90) 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 the Seller Representative 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. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Xxxxx and the Seller Representative, and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute and the calculation of Earn-Out 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.

(c) Independence of Earn-Out Payments. Xxxxx’s obligation to pay each of the Earn-Out Payments to the Seller Representative in accordance with Section 2.06(a) is an independent obligation of Buyer and is not otherwise conditioned or contingent upon the satisfaction of any conditions precedent to any preceding or subsequent Earn-Out Payment.

(d) Timing of Payment of Earn-Out Payments. Subject to Section 2.06(f), any Earn-Out Payment that Buyer is required to pay pursuant to Section 2.06(a) hereof shall be paid in full no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date upon which the determination of Earn-Out Revenue for the applicable Calculation Period becomes final and binding upon the Parties as provided in Section 2.06(b) (including any final resolution of any dispute raised by the Seller Representative in an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice). Buyer shall pay to the Seller Representative (on behalf of and for distribution by the Seller Representative to the Sellers) the applicable Earn-Out Payment in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller Representative. Any Earn-Out Payment that is not timely made as set forth in this Section 2.06(d) shall accrue interest from the due date of such payment (as determined in accordance with this Section 2.06(d)) at a rate per annum equal to 12%.

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

(f) Right of Set-off. Buyer shall have the right to withhold and set off against any amount otherwise due to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.06 the amount of (i) any Post-Closing Adjustment owed to it pursuant to Section 2.05 and (ii) any Losses to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under Article VII, Article IX or any other Transaction Document.

(g) No Security. The Parties acknowledge 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 or the Company; (ii) the Sellers shall not have any rights as a securityholder of Buyer or the Company as a result of the Sellers’ contingent right to receive any Earn-Out Payment hereunder; and (iii) no interest is payable with respect to any Earn-Out Payment.

Section 2.07 Withholding. Buyer and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of applicable Law. Such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Xxxxx, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms. When each Ancillary Document to which Buyer is or will be a party has been duly executed and delivered by Xxxxx (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party thereto), such Ancillary Document will constitute a legal and binding obligation of Buyer enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

Section 5.02 No Conflicts; Consents. The execution, delivery, and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, do not and will not: (a) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other organizational documents of Buyer; (b) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Law or Governmental Order applicable to Buyer; or (c) except as set forth on Schedule 5.02, require the consent, notice, or other action by any Person under any Contract to which Buyer is a party.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no “Phase II” environmental site assessment or other invasive testing shall occur on the Real Property unless, following the results of a “Phase I” environmental site assessment, Buyer and its Representatives reasonably believe that a particular material environmental condition exists that warrants such invasive testing. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be conducted with reasonable notice to the Company and in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company. No investigation by Buyer or other information received by Buyer after the Effective Date shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by Sellers in this Agreement.

Section 6.03 No Solicitation of Other Bids.

Sellers and the Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and all of its and their respective Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal.

(c) The Company and each Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.03 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by the Company or such Seller of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond or other security).

(i) any fact, circumstance, event, or action the existence, occurrence or taking of which (A) has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (B) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, any representation or warranty made by Sellers hereunder not being true and correct or (C) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 to be satisfied;

(ii) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Contemplated Transactions;

(iii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Contemplated Transactions; and

(b) Buyer’s receipt of information pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall not operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty, or agreement given or made by Sellers in this Agreement (including Section 9.02 and Section 10.01(b)) and shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedules.

Section 6.05 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, each Seller shall, and shall cause such Seller’s Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, hold in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the Company, except to the extent that such Seller can show that such information (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of such Seller, any of such Seller’s Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by such Seller, any of such Seller’s Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from sources that are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If any Seller or any of such Seller’s Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any confidential information concerning the Company by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, such Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which such Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that such Seller shall cooperate with Buyer at Buyer’s expense to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

Section 6.06 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) For a period of three (3) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Restricted Business in the Territory; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between the Company and customers or suppliers of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Seller may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange so long as such Seller is not a controlling Person of, or acts in concert with a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of the securities of such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, engaging with the Company as an employee, advisor, or independent contractor shall not be considered a breach of this Section 6.06(a).

(b) During the Restricted Period, Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any employee or independent contractor of the Company or encourage any such employee or independent contractor to leave such employment or engagement with the Company or hire any such employee or independent contractor who has left such employment or engagement, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section 6.06(b) shall prevent any Seller or any of such Seller’s Affiliates from hiring (i) any employee or independent contractor whose employment or engagement has been terminated by the Company or Buyer or (ii) after one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of termination, any employee or independent contractor whose employment or engagement has been otherwise terminated.

(c) During the Restricted Period, Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly, solicit or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, any clients or customers of the Company or potential clients or customers of the Company for purposes of diverting their business or services from the Company. For purposes of this section, a “potential” client or customer is one to which the Company has within six (6) months prior to the Closing Date submitted bids or proposal or has engaged in multiple conversations regarding the Company’s services.

(d) Each Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.06 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such Seller of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond or other security).

(e) Each Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.06 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Contemplated Transactions. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.06 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.06 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.07 Governmental Approvals and Consents.

(a) Each Party shall, as promptly as possible, (i) make, or cause or be made, all filings and submissions (including those under the HSR Act) required under any Law applicable to such Party or any of its Affiliates; and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders, and approvals from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents. Each Party shall cooperate fully with the other Parties and their respective Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. The Parties shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing, or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders, and approvals.

If such consent, approval, or authorization cannot be obtained, Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to provide the Company with the rights and benefits of the affected Contract for the term thereof, and, if Sellers so provide such rights and benefits, the Company shall assume all obligations and burdens thereunder.

(e) All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf of any Party before any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions between Sellers or the Company with Governmental Authorities in the ordinary course of business, any disclosure which is not permitted by Xxx, or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall be disclosed to the other Parties hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the Parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals. Each Party shall give advance notice to the other Parties with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance, or scheduled contact with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, with such notice as is sufficient to provide the other Parties with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance, or contact.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.07 shall require, or be construed to require, Buyer or any of its Affiliates to agree to (i) sell, hold, divest, discontinue, or limit, before or after the Closing Date, any assets, businesses, or interests of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates; (ii) any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the operations of any such assets, businesses, or interests which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or materially and adversely impact the economic or business benefits to Buyer of the Contemplated Transactions; or (iii) any material modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c) No Party shall be obligated to provide any other Party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 6.08 where such access (i) would violate any Law or (ii) would reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or similar protections with respect to such information. This carve-out includes, but is not limited to, all correspondence, drafts, and documentation generated by any Party in the course of negotiating and carrying out the transactions contemplated herein, specifically and without limitation any email correspondence to, from, or copying any address with an “@xxxxx.xxx” domain or a “@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx” domain.

TAXMATTERS

Section 7.01 Tax Covenants.

(a) Without the prior written consent of Buyer, Sellers (and, prior to the Closing, the Company, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives) shall not, to the extent it may affect, or relate to, the Company, make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Buyer or the Company in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period. Sellers agree that Buyer shall have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of Sellers, the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, except in the ordinary course of business, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer (and, after the Closing Date, the Company) against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset.

(b) Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns related to the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Law and without a change of any election (other than with respect to IRS Form 1122 relating to the Company’s election and authorization to be included in the Buyer’s consolidated Tax Returns) or any accounting method (unless otherwise required by applicable Law) and shall be submitted by Buyer to the Seller Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by the Seller Representative, supporting documentation) at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If the Seller Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within ten (10) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Xxxxx and the Seller Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by Buyer of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant and any determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final. The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within twenty (20) days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyer and then amended to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution. The costs, fees, and expenses of the Independent Accountant for a determination under this Section 7.01(b) shall be borne equally by Xxxxx and Seller. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Buyer.

Section 7.02 Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”) the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:

(a) in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(b) in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

Taxes payable with respect to a Straddle Period that are not to be treated as Pre-Closing Taxes pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above shall be considered post-Closing Taxes that are the responsibility of Buyer.

Section 7.03 Tax Proceedings. Buyer shall notify Seller Representative within five (5) Business Days of either its receipt (a) of any written notice of any audit, suit, action or other proceeding in respect of Taxes (each, a “Tax Proceeding”) or (b) of a written notice threatening any Tax Proceeding, in either case relating in whole or in part to Taxes for which the Sellers may be liable or for which any of the Buyer Indemnitees may be entitled to indemnification from the Sellers hereunder; provided, however, that failure to so notify Seller Representative shall not relieve the Sellers of their respective obligations hereunder unless and to the extent that Sellers are prejudiced thereby. Buyer shall control any Tax Proceeding with respect to the Company except that Buyer shall not agree to settle or compromise any Tax Proceeding involving the Company, which settlement or compromise may affect the liability for Taxes for which the Sellers may be liable or that may be indemnifiable by the Sellers under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Seller Representative (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall keep Seller Representative fully informed on a regular basis regarding the status of any Tax Proceeding for which the Sellers may be liable or that may affect the liability for Taxes that may be indemnifiable by the Sellers under this Agreement. Seller Representative shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Proceeding at the Sellers’ expense. The provisions of this Section 7.03, rather than those of Section 9.05, shall apply with respect to any Tax Proceedings.

Section 7.04 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Sellers and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article VII or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation and information shall include, but not be limited to, providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each Seller and Buyer shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records, and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other Party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records, and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning seven (7) years before the Closing Date, Sellers or Buyer (as the case may be) shall provide the other Parties with reasonable written notice and offer the other Parties the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added, and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Seller Representative, on behalf of Sellers, when due. Seller Representative, on behalf of Sellers, shall, at its own expense, timely file all necessary Tax Returns and other document with respect to all such Taxes or fees (and, if required by applicable Law, Buyer and the Company shall join in the execution of any of those Tax Returns or other documentation).

Section 7.06 Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. The Sellers shall cause all Tax sharing arrangement (whether written or not) with respect to or involving the Company to be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

(b) Indemnification. Except to the extent treated as a liability in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Company, Buyer, and each Buyer Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against:

(ii) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VII;

(iii) all Taxes of the Company or relating to the business of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (“Pre-Closing Taxes”);

(iv) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state, or local Law; and

(v) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date.

In each of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith, Sellers shall jointly and severally reimburse Buyer for any Taxes of the Company that are the responsibility of Sellers pursuant to this Section 7.07 within ten (10) Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Buyer or the Company.

(c) Tax Indemnification Payments to Buyer Indemnitees. Any Losses payable to any Buyer Indemnitee(s) pursuant to this Article VII shall be satisfied in the following order: (i) from the Escrow Account; (ii) to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the amount available to such Buyer Indemnitee(s) in the Escrow Account, by holdback of any Earn-Out Payments otherwise earned and payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.06; (iii) to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the amount available to Buyer via (i) and (ii) above, jointly and severally from Xxxxx X. XxXxxxxx and Xxxxx X. XxXxxxxx, in their respective individual capacities; and (iv) to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the amount available from (i) and (iii) above, jointly and severally from the Sellers.

Section 9.05 Indemnification Procedures.

(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) 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 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 are the Sellers, 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, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. 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 6.05) 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, conditioned 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, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct 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 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. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Tax Proceedings. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.21 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VII) shall be governed exclusively by Article VII hereof.

Section 9.06 Payments; Escrow Account.

(a) Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds or if subsection (b)(i) of this Section 9.06 applies, by authorizing the Escrow Agent to make such a transfer. The Parties agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 12%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Any Losses payable to any Buyer Indemnitee(s) pursuant to this Article IX shall be satisfied in the following order: (i) from the Escrow Account; (ii) to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the amount available to such Buyer Indemnitee(s) in the Escrow Account, by holdback of any Earn-Out Payments otherwise earned and payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.06; (iii) to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the amount available to Buyer via (i) and (ii) above, jointly and severally from Xxxxx X.

This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. Each Annex and Schedule referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein, and any capitalized terms used in any Annex or Schedule but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning set forth in this Agreement.Any item disclosed in any portion of any Disclosure Schedule referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed and incorporated in any other Schedule(s) to the extent the relevance of such information to such other Schedule(s) referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement would be reasonably apparent to a reader of such information in light of the form and substance of the disclosure made. The specification of any Dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any portion of the Disclosure Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items, or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 11.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Seller Representative, as each of their agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to act from and after the Effective Date and to do any and all things and execute any and all documents on behalf of the Sellers and the Company that may be necessary, convenient, or appropriate to facilitate the consummation of the transactions in accordance with this Agreement, including: (i) executing the Ancillary Documents and the other documents and certificates contemplated by and pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) receiving payments under or pursuant to this Agreement and disbursing such payments to the Sellers in accordance with this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions hereof; (iii) administering the provisions of this Agreement; (iv) giving or agreeing to, on behalf of all or any of the Sellers, any and all consents, waivers, amendments, or modifications deemed by Seller Representative, in the Seller Representative’s sole and absolute discretion, to be necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, along with the execution or delivery of any documents that may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith; (v) amending this Agreement or any of the instruments to be delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; (vi) taking actions Seller Representative is expressly authorized to take pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement; (vii) (A) disputing or refrain from disputing, on behalf of any Sellers relative to any amounts to be received by any Seller under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, any claim made by any Buyer Indemnitee under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, (B) negotiating and compromising, on behalf of any Seller, any dispute that may arise under, and exercising or refraining from exercising any remedies available under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, and (C) executing, on behalf of any Seller, any settlement agreement, release, or other document with respect to such dispute or remedy; and (viii) engaging attorneys, accountants, agents, or consultants on behalf of any Seller in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or thereby and paying any fees related thereto.

(b) Reliance. Buyer shall be fully protected in dealing with Seller Representative under this Agreement and may rely upon the authority of Seller Representative to act on behalf of each Seller to the extent provided in this Agreement. Any payment by Buyer to Seller Representative on behalf of the Sellers to the extent authorized under this Agreement shall be considered an authorized payment by Buyer to the Seller Representative for distribution by the Seller Representative to the Sellers. The appointment of Seller Representative is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable by each Seller. This power of attorney shall not be affected by the death, illness, disability, incapacity, or other inability to act for the principal pursuant to any applicable Law. Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon any document or other paper delivered by Seller Representative as being authorized by each Seller, and Buyer shall not be liable to the Sellers for any action taken or omitted by Buyer based on such reliance.

(c) No Liability. Seller Representative shall not (in its capacity as the representative of the Sellers) be liable to any Seller for any error of judgment or for any act done or step taken or omitted by Seller Representative that Seller Representative reasonably believed to be in good faith or for anything which Seller Representative reasonably may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement.

(d) Expenses and Liabilities. Any expenses or liabilities incurred by Seller Representative in connection with the performance of its duties as the representative of the Sellers shall not be the personal obligation of Seller Representative but shall be payable by the Sellers.

(e) Indemnification of Seller Representative. Each Seller agrees to indemnify, defend, reimburse, and hold harmless Seller Representative from any and all Losses incurred or sustained by Seller Representative arising out of or in connection with Seller Representative’s performance of Seller Representative’s duties as the representative of the Sellers.

In the event of the Seller Representative’s death, resignation, or disability, the remaining shareholders of the Company (as of immediately prior to the Closing, or if such event occurs prior to the Closing, as of such event) shall (i) elect another individual to serve as Seller Representative for all purposes under this Agreement, and (ii) provide the Buyer with prompt written notice of the successor Seller Representative selected pursuant to this Section 11.13(f), including the successor Seller Representative’s contact information for purposes of Section 11.02 hereof.
