If the Aggregate Estimated Closing Net Inventory Value is greater than the Aggregate Actual Closing Net Inventory Value, then Seller shall, within five Business Days after the Post-Closing Statement Date, pay Purchaser the amount by which the Aggregate Estimated Closing Net Inventory Value exceeds the Aggregate Actual Closing Net Inventory Value in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds and if the Aggregate Actual Closing Net Inventory Value is greater than the Aggregate Estimated Closing Net Inventory Value then Purchaser shall, within five Business Days after the Post-Closing Statement Date, pay Seller the amount by which the Aggregate Actual Closing Net Inventory Value exceeds the Aggregate Estimated Closing Net Inventory Value in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c) If Purchaser does not receive any written objections from Seller to the Post-Closing Statement within 30 days following Purchaser’s delivery thereof, then Seller shall be deemed to have no objection to such statement, which shall become final and binding on the Parties. If Seller does not agree that such statement correctly states the Actual Closing Inventory or the Actual Post-Closing Inventory Adjustment Amount, as applicable, Seller shall promptly (but not later than 30 days after the delivery of such statement) give written notice to Purchaser of any objections thereto (describing in reasonable detail the nature of the disagreement asserted), and all undisputed amounts with respect to such calculation shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon the Parties and enforceable in a court of law, absent manifest error or fraud. Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes and agree upon the resulting calculations in such statement. If Seller and Purchaser resolve such disputes within 30 days after the applicable written notice of objection is delivered by Seller to Purchaser (any such period, an “Inventory Reconciliation Period”), the applicable calculation and resulting statement shall be adjusted accordingly and shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon all Parties and enforceable in a court of law, absent manifest error or fraud. If Seller and Purchaser cannot resolve the disputed items within the applicable Inventory Reconciliation Period, 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 calculation and statement as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days following the Parties’ referral to the Independent Accountant. Purchaser 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. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Purchaser and Seller, and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute and resulting calculation by the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the Parties, absent manifest error or fraud and any Actual Post-Closing Inventory Adjustment Amount due shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.8(d) hereof. Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall bear that percentage of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant equal to the proportion (expressed as a percentage and determined by the Independent Accountant) of the dollar value of the disputed amounts determined in favor of the other party by the Independent Accountant. In the event of any court proceedings arising out of the Post-Closing Statement the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with such proceedings. The date on which the Post-Closing Statement becomes binding, final and conclusive upon the Parties pursuant to this Section 2.8(c) (the “Inventory Determination Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall act as an expert, and not as an arbitrator.

(d) Within five Business Days following the Inventory Determination Date, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall pay the other Party the Actual Post-Closing Inventory Adjustment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds as determined pursuant to Section 2.8(c).

Section 2.9 Earn-Out.

(a) Promptly following the finalization of Parent’s audited financial results for the year ended on December 31, 2021 (the “Measurement Date”), and in any event no later than April 30, 2022, Purchaser shall determine whether or not a Full Earn-Out Consideration Event or Partial Earn-Out Consideration Event has occurred (the “Earn-Out Determination”) and shall provide written notice of such determination to Seller, which notice shall include the Realized CM (as defined below) (the “Earn-Out Notice”). Upon receipt of the Earn-Out Notice, Seller (and to the extent reasonably requested, its Representatives) will be given reasonable access upon reasonable notice to Purchaser’s (or the applicable Purchaser Designee’s) relevant books, records, workpapers and personnel related to the information and calculations used to calculate the Realized CM (subject to customary confidentiality, hold harmless or release agreements related to such access) during business hours for the limited purpose of verifying such amount.

(b) If Purchaser does not receive any written objections from Seller to the amount of the Realized CM or Purchaser’s Earn-Out Determination within 30 days following Purchaser’s delivery of the Earn-Out Notice to Seller then Seller shall be deemed to have no objection to the Realized CM and the Earn-Out Determination, which shall become final and binding on the Parties. If Seller does not agree that the Earn-Out

Notice contains the correct Earn-Out Determination Seller shall promptly (but not later than 30 days after the delivery of the Earn-Out Notice) give written notice to Purchaser of any objections thereto (describing in reasonable detail the nature of the disagreement asserted), and all undisputed amounts with respect to such calculation shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon the Parties and enforceable in a court of law, absent manifest error or fraud. Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes and agree upon the resulting calculations in such statement. If Seller and Purchaser resolve such disputes within 30 days after the applicable written notice of objection is delivered by Seller to Purchaser (any such period, an “Earn-Out Reconciliation Period”), the applicable calculation and resulting Realized CM and Earn-Out Determination shall be adjusted accordingly and shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon all Parties and enforceable in a court of law, absent manifest error or fraud. If Seller and Purchaser cannot resolve the disputed items within the Earn-Out Reconciliation Period, 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 calculation and determination as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days following the Parties’ referral to the Independent Accountant. Purchaser 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. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Purchaser and Seller, and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute and resulting calculation by the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the Parties, absent manifest error or fraud and any Earn-Out Consideration due shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.9(g) hereof. Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall bear that percentage of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant equal to the proportion (expressed as a percentage and determined by the Independent Accountant) of the dollar value of the disputed amounts determined in favor of the other party by the Independent Accountant. In the event of any court proceedings arising out of the Earn-Out Notice the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with such proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall act as an expert, and not as an arbitrator.

(c) “Full Earn-Out Consideration Event” shall mean that the aggregate Contribution Margin of the Business for the 12-month period ended on the Measurement Date (such aggregate Contribution Margin, the “Realized CM”) has been finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(b) to be equal to or greater than the Target CM).

(d) “Partial Earn-Out Consideration Event” shall mean that the Realized CM has been finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(b) to be less than the Target CM, but equal to or greater than an amount equal to (i) 85% multiplied by (ii) the Target CM.

(e) If a Full Earn-Out Consideration Event has been finally determined to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.9(b), Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to $3,983,104 (the “2020 EBITDA Amount”) in the form of either (i) cash, to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (ii) shares of Parent Common Stock issued (in book-entry format) to Seller, either by Parent or Parent’s transfer agent or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), as such form of consideration is elected by Seller in writing.

(f) If a Partial Earn-Out Consideration Event has been finally determined to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.9(b), Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount that is equal to (i) (x) Realized CM divided by (y) Target CM, multiplied by (ii) the 2020 EBITDA Amount in the form of either (A) cash, to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (B) shares of Parent Common Stock issued (in book-entry format) to Seller, either by Parent or Parent’s transfer agent or (C) a combination of (A) and (B), as such form of consideration is elected by Seller in writing.

(g) If it is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(b) that a Full Earn-Out Consideration Event or Partial Earn-Out Consideration Event has occurred prior to the date that is three months after the Measurement Date then the applicable Earn-Out Consideration payment shall be made on the date that is three months after the Measurement Date (the “First Earn-Out Payment Date”) or as promptly as practicable thereafter. If after the First Earn-Out Payment Date it is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(b) that a Full Earn-Out Consideration Event or Partial Earn-Out Consideration Event has occurred then the applicable Earn-Out Consideration payment shall be made on the date that is six months after the Measurement Date (the “Second Earn-Out Payment Date” and, together with the First Earn-Out Payment Date, the “Earn-Out Payment Dates”).

(h) As used herein, the term “Earn-Out Consideration” shall refer to any payment of cash or issuance of Parent Common Stock by Purchaser or Parent, as applicable, in accordance with either Section 2.9(e) or Section 2.9(f).

(i) If Seller elects to receive any portion of the Earn-Out Consideration in the form of shares of Parent Common Stock, the number of shares issued shall be equal to (i) the value of the Earn-Out Consideration that Seller did not elect to receive from Purchaser in cash divided by (ii) the lesser of the volume weighted average closing price of Parent Common Stock for the 15 Trading Days immediately prior to the (x) Closing Date and (y) applicable Earn-Out Payment Date (rounded down to the nearest whole share).

(j) If it is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(b) that neither the Full Earn-Out Consideration Event nor the Partial Earn-Out Consideration Event occurs, then Purchaser shall not, and shall have no obligation to, pay any cash, or issue any shares of Parent Common Stock as Earn-Out Consideration, to Seller or any other Person in connection with this Agreement.

(k) Purchaser, Seller and each Key Owner understands and agrees that (i) Seller’s contingent right to receive the Earn-Out Consideration shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, is not transferable and is unsecured and (ii) Seller shall not have any rights as a securityholder of Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee solely as a result of Seller’s contingent right to receive any consideration under this Section 2.9.

(l) Purchaser shall not, in bad faith, directly or indirectly, take any actions, or fail to take any actions that are consistent with the prior operations of the Business, in each case that would reasonably be expected to cause the failure to occur of the Full Earn-Out Consideration Event, or to materially reduce the Realized CM.

Section 2.10 Transition Services Consideration.

(a) On the date that is three months after the Closing Date (the “First Transition Payment Date”), as partial consideration for the Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) provided by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the 2020 EBITDA Amount in the form of either (i) cash, to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (ii) shares of Parent Common Stock issued (in book-entry format) to Seller, either by Parent or Parent’s transfer agent or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), as such form of consideration is elected by Seller in writing (such payment or issuances of shares, the “First Transition Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, this payment is not contingent on any further action by Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date, nor upon the termination of the Transition Services Agreement.

(b) If the date that the Transition Services Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms (the “Services Termination Date”) occurs prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date (the “Second Transition Payment Date” and, together with the First Transition Payment Date, the “Transition Payment Dates”) then, as partial consideration for the Services provided by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the Transition

Services Agreement prior to the Services Termination Date, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the 2020 EBITDA Amount in the form of either (i) cash, to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (ii) shares of Parent Common Stock issued (in book-entry format) to Seller, either by Parent or Parent’s transfer agent or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), as such form of consideration as elected by Seller in writing (such payment or issuances of shares, the “Second Transition Payment” and, collectively with the First Transition Payment, the “Transition Services Consideration”). If the Services Termination Date is prior to the First Transition Payment Date then the Second Transition Payment shall be made on or before the First Transition Payment Date. If the Services Termination Date is prior to the Second Transition Payment Date but is on or after the First Transition Payment Date then the Second Transition Payment shall be made on or before the Second Transition Payment Date.

(c) If Seller elects to receive any portion of the Transition Services Consideration in the form of shares of Parent Common Stock, the number of shares issued shall be equal to (i) the value of that portion of First Transition Payment or Second Transition Payment, as applicable, that Seller did not elect to receive from Purchaser in cash divided by (ii) the lesser of the volume weighted average closing price of Parent Common Stock for the 15 Trading Days immediately prior to the (x) Closing Date and (y) applicable Transition Payment Date (rounded down to the nearest whole share).

(d) If the Services Termination Date does not occur prior to the Second Transition Payment Date then Purchaser shall not, and shall not have any obligation to, pay any cash, or issue any shares of Parent Common Stock as Transition Services Consideration, to Seller or any other Person in connection with this Agreement.

(e) Purchaser, Seller and each Key Owner understands and agrees that (i) Seller’s contingent right to receive the Transition Services Consideration shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, is not transferable and is unsecured and (ii) Seller shall not have any rights as a securityholder of Purchaser or a Purchaser Designee solely as a result of Seller’s contingent right to receive any consideration under this Section 2.10.

Section 2.11 Share Issuance Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article II, in no event shall the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that Parent may issue in respect of the Purchase Price or any other amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, whether in the form of the Earn-Out Shares or Transition Payment Shares, exceed (in the aggregate) 9.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Share Cap”). Any portion of the Purchase Price or other amounts that may otherwise be payable in the form of Shares of Parent Common Stock under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, taken as a whole, in excess of the Share Cap shall be paid in cash. In addition, any such shares of Parent Common Stock issued as consideration for the Purchase Price or any other Transaction Document shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or similar transaction in respect of the Parent Common Stock.

Section 2.12 Treatment of Excess Returns and Chargebacks. Seller agrees that if any retailer to whom Seller or any of its Affiliates sold or otherwise transferred product(s) prior to the Closing (and such product(s) would otherwise constitute an Acquired Asset) returns or chargebacks any of such product(s) during the period from and after the Closing and until the date that is the first anniversary of the Closing Date, then Seller shall be responsible for the amount of any such product(s) so returned or charged back that is, in the aggregate, in excess of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) (the “Excess Returns and Chargebacks”). Promptly upon Purchaser’s receipt of any Excess Returns and Chargebacks Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing and provide documentary evidence of such Excess Returns and Chargebacks and Seller shall pay to Purchaser in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two Business Days following Seller’s receipt of such documentary evidence of such Excess Returns and Chargebacks, the aggregate value thereof.

Section 2.13 Withholding. Purchaser and any other party making a payment pursuant to this Agreement will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement any amounts that Purchaser determines are required to be deducted and withheld pursuant to applicable Law. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and are remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(d) This Agreement has been, and the Ancillary Agreements to which Seller is or will be a party will be, duly executed and delivered by Seller and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

From and after the Closing, and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including the terms of Section 7.3), the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall, severally but not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against, and pay or reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses relating to, imposed upon, suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party by reason of, resulting from or arising out of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties by Seller or Key Owners contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, that are Fundamental Representations;

(b) any breach by Seller or any Key Owner of any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement;

(d) fraud.

Section 7.3 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) If any Purchaser Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any Proceeding by any Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Purchaser Indemnified Party, with respect to which the Seller Indemnifying Parties are or may be required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall give written notice regarding such Third Party Claim to Seller within 30 days after learning of such Third Party Claim, provided that the failure to so notify Seller shall not relieve Seller of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the defense of such Proceeding is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such failure, and will not relieve Seller from any other obligation that they may have to a Purchaser Indemnified Party other than under this Article VII. For purposes of this Article VII, any references to the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall, if the context so applies or if Purchaser so elects, be deemed to refer to Parent on behalf of the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party. For purposes of this Article VII, any references to Seller (except provisions relating to an obligation to make payment) shall be deemed to refer to Seller on behalf of the applicable Seller Indemnifying Party.

(b) Seller shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim at Seller’s expense (which expenses shall not be applied against any indemnity limitation herein). Seller at its option shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof (subject to the limitations set forth below) by (i) delivering written notice to the Purchaser Indemnified Party of their election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within 15 days of receipt of notice from the Purchaser Indemnified Party, (ii) appointing a nationally recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Indemnified Party to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense and (iii) entering into a written agreement with the Purchaser Indemnified Party that Seller is unconditionally obligated to pay and satisfy any Losses which may arise with respect to such Third Party Claim and provides evidence of their ability to satisfy such obligation, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser Indemnified Party. If Seller does not expressly elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within the time period and otherwise in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim; provided, that the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement involving monetary payment by a Seller Indemnifying Party without the written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that for clarity, that no such approval of Seller shall be required for any settlement that does not involve a monetary payment by a Seller Indemnifying Party and the party bringing the Third Party Claim provides a release to the Seller Indemnifying Parties for such Third Party Claim.

(c) If Seller has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms hereof, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, and the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Purchaser Indemnified Party other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) that are incurred prior to the date Seller assumes control of such defense, (ii) if the Purchaser Indemnified Party reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Purchaser Indemnified Party that are not available to Seller, or (iii) if Seller may have different, conflicting, or adverse legal positions or interests from the Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall not be entitled to control the defense of a Third Party Claim (and the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to maintain or assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim, at Seller’s sole expense) if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or involves any criminal or quasi criminal Proceeding, (ii) the Third Party Claim could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Purchaser Indemnified Party (as determined by the Purchaser Indemnified Party in good faith) other than as solely a result of money damages, (iii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Purchaser Indemnified Party, (iv) the Third Party Claim involves Taxes (which shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.1(d)), (v) there exists or would, or could reasonably be expected to, exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Purchaser Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Purchaser Indemnified Party and Seller, (vi) the Purchaser Indemnified Party elects to pursue one or more defenses or counterclaims available to it that are inconsistent with one or more of those that are being pursued by Seller in respect of such Third Party Claim or any litigation relating thereto, (vii) the Third Party Claim involves a customer or supplier of the Business, Acquisition Sub or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party, (viii) the Third Party Claim relates to any Intellectual Property, or (ix) Seller fails to vigorously defend the Third Party Claim.

(e) If Seller shall control the defense of any Third Party Claim, Seller shall obtain the prior written consent of the Purchaser Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of, consenting to the entry of any judgment with respect to or ceasing to defend such Third Party Claim if (i) pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, consent or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Purchaser Indemnified Party, or a finding or admission of any violation of Law would be made by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, or such settlement, consent or cessation could otherwise reasonably be expected to interfere with or adversely affect the business, operations or assets of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, or (ii) such settlement or judgment does not expressly and unconditionally release the Purchaser Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(f) The indemnification required hereunder in respect of a Third Party Claim for which Seller has assumed the defense in accordance with Section 7.3(b) shall be made by prompt payment by Seller of the amount of actual Losses in connection therewith, as and when bills are received by Seller or within 10 days following Seller’s receipt of notice that Losses have been incurred.

(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.10, Seller hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Purchaser Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that a Purchaser Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on Seller with respect to such claim anywhere.

(h) Seller shall not be entitled to require that any Proceeding be made or brought against any other Person before a Proceeding is brought or claim is made against it hereunder by the Purchaser Indemnified Party.

(i) If any Purchaser Indemnified Party has a claim against Seller hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to Seller, provided that, such notice shall, if applicable, state whether a claim was made for recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy and the amount, if any, so recovered, provided, further, that the failure to so notify Seller shall not relieve Seller of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent (and only to the extent) that Seller is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such failure, and will not relieve Seller from any other obligation that they may have to a Purchaser Indemnified Party other than under this Article VII. If Seller does not notify the Purchaser Indemnified Party within 10 days following its receipt of such notice that Seller disputes its Liability to the Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder, such claim specified by the Purchaser Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of Seller hereunder and Seller shall pay the amount of such Liability to the Purchaser Indemnified Party on demand.

(j) If Seller agrees that it has an indemnification obligation under this Article VII but asserts that it is obligated to pay a lesser amount than that claimed by the Purchaser Indemnified Party, Seller shall pay such lesser amount promptly to the Purchaser Indemnified Party, without prejudice to or waiver of the Purchaser Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference.

Section 7.4 Certain Limitations.

(a) Caps on Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties. The aggregate amount required to be paid by Seller under Section 7.2(a) shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(b) Exceptions to Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the limitations set forth in Section 7.4(a) shall not apply to Losses by reason of, resulting from or arising out of any claims of intentional fraud by or on behalf of Seller or any Key Owner or in which Seller or any Key Owner participated (including failure to act).

(c) With respect to a claim from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller or Key Owners contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, other than Fundamental Representations, Losses recoverable by a Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect thereto shall be limited to amounts recoverable under the R&W Insurance Policy, and none of Seller, Key Owners, or their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to Seller or owe any indemnification obligation to any Purchaser Indemnified Party therefor.

(d) Any payments by Seller or any Key Owner in respect of any Loss will be limited to the amount of such Loss that remains after deducting therefrom any third party insurance proceeds (including proceeds paid out under the R&W Insurance Policy, but net of any Taxes imposed as a result of the receipt of such proceeds), indemnification payments (other than from Seller) and other third party recoveries actually received by the Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim, less any related costs and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, any amount of Loss arising from any claim for indemnification under Section 7.2(a) that is recoverable under the R&W Insurance Policy shall be recovered first from the R&W Insurance Policy.

(e) Each Key Owner’s aggregate Liability for indemnification, compensation and reimbursement shall not exceed such Key Owner’s pro rata portion of such Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 7.4(b), no Key Owner shall be liable for any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement of any amount in excess of such Key Owner’s pro rata portion of the Purchase Price. For the purposes of this Section 7.4(e), a Key Owner’s “pro rata portion” means that percentage set forth next to such Key Owner’s name on Exhibit J attached hereto.

Section 7.5 Materiality Qualifiers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of determining (a) whether a breach of a representation or warranty exists for purposes of this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement and (b) the amount of Losses arising from such a breach for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, each such representation and warranty shall be read without giving effect to any qualification that is based on materiality, including the words “material,” “material adverse effect,” “in any material respect” and other uses of the word “material” or words of similar meaning (and shall be treated as if such words were deleted from such representation or warranty).

Section 7.6 Indemnification as Sole Remedy. Following the Closing, except as set forth in Section 5.1 (Agreements Regarding Tax Matters), Section 5.16 (Registration and Certain Other Rights) and Section 8.12 (Specific Performance), the indemnification provided for in this Article VII and the right to recover under the R&W Insurance Policy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy and recourse for any breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) in the case of fraud, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall have all remedies available under this Agreement or otherwise at Law without giving effect to any of the limitations or waivers contained herein, and (b) nothing herein shall limit any Party’s right to seek and obtain equitable remedies with respect to any covenant or agreement contained in any Transaction Document.

Section 7.7 Investigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Transactions are consummated, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties expressly reserve the right to seek indemnity or other remedy for any Losses arising out of or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, notwithstanding (a) any investigation by, disclosure to or knowledge of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or the Representatives of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in respect of any fact or circumstances that reveals the occurrence of any such breach, whether before or after the execution and delivery hereof or (b) Parent’s waiver of any condition to the Closing or participation in the Closing.

Section 7.8 Satisfaction of Indemnification Claims. The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to seek recovery for satisfaction of claims for indemnification (including claims in respect of Fundamental Representations) directly from Seller or any Key Owner; provided, however, that to the extent applicable to the particular claim for indemnification under Section 7.2(a), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall first seek recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy. If any amount owed by Seller or any Key Owner under this Article VII is not paid within 10 days of Seller and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties agreeing such amount is due or upon a final adjudication determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such amount is due (either, a “Final Determination”), Seller or the applicable Key Owner(s) shall reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Party for any and all reasonable costs or expenses of any nature or kind whatsoever (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in seeking to collect such amount under this Article VII, and no limitation in this Article VII shall apply to any such interest or reimbursement. If any amount owed under this Article VII is not paid within 30 days of a Final Determination, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, in addition to all other remedies it may have, recover some or all of such amount by setting off such amount against any amounts then due and payable by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to Seller or any Key Owner or any their Affiliates under the Transaction Documents or any other agreement with Seller or any Key Owner. In each case, the exercise of such right to set off shall not constitute a breach of any Purchaser Indemnified Party’s obligations under the Transaction Documents or any other agreement with Seller or any Key Owner, and the exercise or failure to exercise such right to set off shall not constitute an election of remedies or limit any Purchaser Indemnified Party in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to such Purchaser Indemnified Party. Seller and each Key Owner hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Purchaser as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent with full power of substitution to do any and all things and execute any and all documents which may be necessary to effectuate any set off in accordance with this Section 7.8. The foregoing grant of authority is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 7.9 Waiver of Contribution. Seller and each Key Owner hereby irrevocably waive and release any right of contribution, subrogation or any similar right against any Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of matters that are or may become the subject of claims for indemnification hereunder and any indemnification payments that Seller and any Key Owner may, at any time, be required to make to any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.10 Tax Treatment of Payments. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated by Purchaser and Seller, to the extent permitted by Law, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for income Tax purposes.

A final judgment in any such Proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.

Section 8.12 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties shall be entitled to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement, including obtaining an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, in any court designated to resolve disputes concerning this Agreement (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in any appropriate state or federal court), this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at Law or in equity. Each Party further agrees not to assert and waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or provide indemnity as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
