Section 1.05Purchase Price Adjustment. An adjustment amount pursuant to this Section 1.05 (“Purchase Price Adjustment”), if any is due, will be paid by the appropriate Party, in the manner and at the time set forth in this Section 1.05.

(a)Preparation of Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller will prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement of the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement”). The Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement will be unaudited but will be prepared in conformity with GAAP in all material respects and otherwise in accordance with Seller’s historical accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures and in accordance with the calculation of the Target Net Working Capital of

the InStaff Business set forth on Section 1.05(a) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Net Working Capital Methodology”).

(b) Procedure for Objecting to Calculation of Closing Net Working Capital.

(i)On or prior to the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following Seller’s delivery of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, Buyer may give Seller a written notice stating Buyer’s objection to the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement and Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital. Seller and Seller’s accountants will have reasonable access to the relevant books and records of the InStaff Business, the personnel of Buyer (provided that access to such personnel will be during normal business hours) and all other information reasonably requested by Seller and Seller’s accountants to prepare the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement. If Buyer provides Seller with written notice of objection with regard to the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement and Seller’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital set forth therein, specifying the items and amounts to which Buyer is objecting within the applicable 60-day period, pursuant to this Section 1.05(b), then Buyer and Seller will attempt to resolve their differences in good faith.

(ii)If Buyer and Seller cannot agree on appropriate changes to be made to the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement and the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital within ten (10) calendar days after the delivery of Buyer’s objection notice to the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, then Buyer and Seller will submit the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, along with the written objections of Buyer and Seller with respect to the Closing Net Working Capital, to the Independent Accounting Firm. Buyer and Seller will request the Independent Accounting Firm to determine only those aspects of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement that are in controversy and to make the final determination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, within thirty (30) calendar days after the request. The determination of any disputed items in the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement by the Independent Accounting Firm will be within, and limited by, the range comprised of the respective determination of each of the Parties’ calculation with respect to such disputed items. Buyer and Seller will make readily available to the Independent Accounting Firm all relevant books and records, any work papers (including those of the Parties’ respective principal accountants, to the extent permitted by such accountants) relating to the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, Section 1.05(a) of the Disclosure Schedules and the objections of Buyer and Seller and all other items reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm in connection therewith. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm will be borne by Seller and Buyer in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The resolution of the dispute pursuant to this Section 1.05 and the calculation of any Purchase Price Adjustment that is the subject of the applicable objection notice (which will be determined by mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer, and, failing such mutual agreement, will be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) will be final and binding upon the Parties hereto.

(iii)If the Closing Net Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.05, is greater than the Target Net Working Capital, such excess amount will be paid by Buyer to Seller. If the Closing Net Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.05, is less than the Target Net Working Capital, such deficit amount will be paid by Seller to Buyer.

(iv)The Purchase Price Adjustment described in this Section 1.05(b) will be paid within five (5) business days after its final determination in accordance with this Section 1.05(b) and will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the payee in writing to the payor.

Section 1.06Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (plus other relevant items) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all Tax purposes in accordance with the methodology set forth on Section 1.06 of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Allocation Schedule”). Any adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be allocated in the manner set forth on the Allocation Schedule.

Section 1.07Non-Assignable Assets.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement will not constitute a sale, assignment or transfer of any Purchased Asset if such sale, assignment or transfer: (i) violates applicable Law; or (ii) requires the consent or waiver of a Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party and such consent or waiver has not been obtained prior to the Closing.

(b)Following the Closing, Seller, at its expense, will use commercially reasonable efforts, and Buyer, at its expense, will cooperate in all commercially reasonable respects with Seller, to obtain any such required consent or waiver, or any release, substitution or amendment as promptly as possible; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer will be required to pay any consideration therefor. Once such consent, waiver, release, substitution or amendment is obtained, Seller will sell, assign and transfer to Buyer the relevant Purchased Asset to which such consent, waiver, release, substitution or amendment relates for no additional consideration. Applicable Transfer Taxes in connection with such sale, assignment or transfer will be paid by Buyer in accordance with Section 5.07.

(c)To the extent that any Purchased Asset cannot be transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.07, Seller will act as Buyer’s agent and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Buyer such arrangements (such as subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to Buyer the economic and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, operational equivalent of the transfer of such Purchased Asset to Buyer as of the Closing.

Section 1.08Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments to be made under this Agreement to either Seller or any other Person such amounts as Buyer reasonably determines in good faith that it is required to deduct and withhold under any Tax Laws; provided, however, that (i) Buyer will give Seller at least five (5) business days advance notice of any withholding of any amount otherwise payable to Seller, which notice shall include the basis for the proposed deduction or withholding, and Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to minimize the amount of such withholding or deduction, and (ii) in no event shall any deduction

or withholding be made from any amount payable to Seller pursuant to Code section 1445 (and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) if Seller delivers at or prior to Closing an IRS Form W-9. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely reported and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority by Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS

Section 5.01 Transferred Staff Employees.

(a)Effective as of the Closing Date (the “Employee Transfer Date”), Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer (as applicable, a “Hiring Entity”) will offer employment to all Staff Employees. A Staff Employee of the InStaff Business to whom an offer of employment is made by a Hiring Entity and who accepts such offer will become a staff employee of the applicable Hiring Entity on the day such person reports, if at all, to work for the applicable Hiring Entity (such a staff employee is hereinafter referred to as a “Transferred Staff Employee”). Buyer will, or will cause its Affiliates to, offer each Transferred Staff Employee (i) a base salary or hourly wages which are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided by Seller to such Transferred Staff Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) welfare benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate to those provided by the applicable Hiring Entity to its similarly situated

employees (excluding the Transferred Staff Employees for purposes of this comparison), if any.

(b)The Transferred Staff Employees shall continue to be eligible to participate in the Seller group health and welfare benefit plans determined by mutual agreement of the Parties prior to Closing (the “Transition Benefit Plans”), on the same terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, for the period (the “Benefits Transition Period”) that begins immediately following the Closing and ends on (and includes) the later of (A) the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs and (B) if the Transferred Staff Employees, as a result of any waiting periods or plans not being in effect, do not become immediately eligible to participate in any group health and welfare benefit plans of the applicable Hiring Entity that are analogous to the Transition Benefit Plans, the earlier of (i) the date on which the Transferred Staff Employees do become so eligible and (ii) the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date. Seller will remain liable for all eligible claims for benefits under the Employee Benefit Plans (other than the Transition Benefit Plans) that are incurred by the Transferred Staff Employees. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for (i) with respect to fully insured plans, the monthly premium cost for coverage of the Transferred Staff Employees and their beneficiaries under the Transition Benefit Plans for coverage during the Benefits Transition Period, prorated for partial calendar months and (ii) with respect to self-insured plans, (A) payments and reimbursements by Seller of eligible claims for benefits that are incurred by the Transferred Staff Employees and their beneficiaries under the Transition Benefit Plans during the Benefits Transition Period regardless of whether the claims are submitted by a Transferred Staff Employee (or his or her beneficiary) for payment or reimbursement during the Benefits Transition Period or after the Benefits Transition Period at a time when eligible claims incurred during the Benefits Transition Period may be submitted in accordance with the applicable plan terms (a “Claims Run-Off Period”), and (B) the portion of any stop-loss insurance premiums, third-party administrative fees and similar costs incurred by Seller in respect of the Transferred Staff Employees and their beneficiaries under the Transition Benefit Plans for coverage during the Benefits Transition Period. Seller shall notify Buyer of such amounts when incurred, and Buyer shall make payment to Seller for such amounts promptly upon receipt of notice from Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.01(b) does not require Buyer to reimburse Seller for any claims incurred prior to the Benefits Transition Period but not submitted for payment or reimbursement until during or after the Benefits Transition Period.

(c)Seller shall cash-out the accrued vacation and paid time-off of all employees of the InStaff Business (including Transferred Staff Employees and Temporary Personnel) no later than promptly following the termination of such employees’ employment with Seller.

(d)Seller shall provide continuation coverage under Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, Section 4980B of the Code, and any similar state Law (“COBRA”) to each individual who is, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, an “M&A qualified beneficiary” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9).

(e)This Section 5.01 will be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties, and nothing in this Section 5.01, express or implied, will confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.01. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, will be construed to

establish, amend or modify, or prohibit the amendment or termination of, any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 5.01 will not create any right in any Transferred Staff Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

Section 5.02 Confidentiality. For a period of five years from and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, and shall instruct its Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the InStaff Business or Purchased Assets, except to the extent that such information (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no violation of Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives of this Section 5.02; or (b) is lawfully acquired by Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives after the Closing from sources which are not, to Seller’s Knowledge, prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives is requested or required to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, such Seller or Affiliate shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which such Seller or Affiliate is advised by its counsel is legally required to be disclosed, provided, that such Seller or Affiliate shall use commercially reasonable efforts to first notify Buyer to allow Buyer to obtain, at Buyer’s sole expense, an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information and provided further that no such notification requirement shall apply with regard to disclosure required pursuant to United States Securities Exchange Commission or New York Stock Exchange rules. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the confidentiality agreement, dated as of September 28, 2021, between Buyer and Seller remains in full force and effect, and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of such confidentiality agreement, information provided to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 5.03 Seller Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. Seller acknowledges and agrees that there exists valid and sufficient consideration and covenants to Buyer that during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, directly or indirectly, in any manner (whether as an owner, shareholder, officer, director, partner, manager, employee, independent contractor, consultant or otherwise), except on behalf of, or for the benefit of, Buyer:

(i)engage or participate in the business of providing light industrial staffing solutions anywhere in the United States (the “Non-Compete Territory”);

(ii)solicit, place, market, service, accept, aid, consult or otherwise do business with respect to providing light industrial staffing solutions with any customer that has done business with the InStaff Business in the Non-Compete Territory during the two-year period preceding the Closing Date or to persuade any such customer of the InStaff Business in the Non-Compete Territory to purchase any light industrial staffing services from any Person other than Buyer in the Non-Compete Territory; or

(iii)solicit for employment or other services, or employ (including to retain, engage or conduct business with) or attempt to employ, assist anyone else to employ or

attempt to employ or engage as a consultant or otherwise any Transferred Staff Employee or any Temporary Personnel to provide light industrial staffing services or leave his or her employment or engagement with the InStaff Business or Buyer; provided, however that this Section 5.03(iii) shall not restrict any general solicitations for employment, not specifically targeting such Persons or hiring any Person who responses to such a general solicitation or soliciting or hiring any such Person who has ceased to be an employee of or an independent contractor with the InStaff Business.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.03 shall prevent Seller from (i) engaging in non-light industrial staffing services, including, for the avoidance of doubt, real estate and professional staffing services (the “Permitted Businesses”), soliciting or doing business with customers with regard to any Permitted Business or soliciting, accepting employment with or contracting with any Person with respect to any Permitted Business (provided Seller or any Affiliate of Seller do not solicit, encourage or persuade any such Person to terminate or modify such Person’s relationship with the InStaff Business or Buyer, or (ii) owning less than 1% of the equity of any corporation traded on any national, international or regional stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Further, subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.03(b), the Parties agree that it would be unreasonable for Buyer to withhold, condition or delay its consent to Seller or its Affiliates acquiring any business that provides ancillary light industrial staffing outside of a 100-mile radius of any of Seller’s leased locations (existing as of the Closing Date) and continuing to engage in such ancillary business following the closing of such transaction. The Parties expressly agree, however, that Buyer may withhold, condition or delay its consent with respect to a proposed transaction of Seller or its Affiliates that involves an ancillary light industrial business whose revenues represent fifteen percent or more or $20,000,000 or more of the revenues of the company that Seller proposes to acquire, in each case, with respect to such company’s latest completed fiscal year.

(c)Seller acknowledges that: (i) the InStaff Business and the industry in which Seller and Buyer compete is highly competitive and (ii) Seller has participated in the solicitation and servicing of customers through which, among other things, Seller has obtained and will continue to obtain knowledge of the “know-how” and business practices of the InStaff Business in the Non-Compete Territory, in which matters Buyer will have a substantial proprietary interest following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder. Seller further acknowledges that Seller had and has personal relationships with the customers of the InStaff Business and a knowledge of those customers’ affairs and requirements. Seller consequently agrees that it is a legitimate interest of Buyer, and reasonable and necessary for the protection of the confidential information, goodwill and business of Buyer, which is valuable to Buyer, that Seller makes the covenants contained herein and that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement unless the covenants set forth in this Section 5.03 were contained in this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that the non-compete and non-solicitation obligations assumed by Seller (i) are a material and essential element of this

Agreement; and (ii) directly influenced the determination of the Purchase Price, which the parties deem to be sufficient and fair consideration for the non-compete and non-solicitation obligations set forth herein.

(d)Seller acknowledges and agrees that all the conditions and restrictions established in this Section 5.03 are reasonable, taking into account the circumstances surrounding this Agreement. Seller further acknowledges and agrees that Buyer would be irreparably damaged if Seller breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the covenants set forth in this Section 5.03 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) and that any such breach or threatened breach could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which Buyer may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced against Seller by any court of competent jurisdiction, including immediate temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and, to the extent permitted by law, without the necessity of furnishing any bond or other undertaking.

(e)If any court of competent jurisdiction at any time deems the Restrictive Covenants, or any part hereof, unenforceable because of the duration or geographical scope of such provisions, the other provisions of this Section 5.03 will nevertheless stand and, to the full extent consistent with law, continue in full force and effect; it is the intention and desire of the parties that the court treat any provisions of this Agreement which are not fully enforceable as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary by the court to render them reasonable and enforceable, and that the court enforce them to such extent.

Section 5.04 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, no Party to this Agreement will make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the Parties will cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement.

Section 5.05 [Reserved].

Section 5.06 Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer.

Section 5.07 Tax Matters.

(a)All sales, use, excise, transfer, recording, stamp, conveyance, value added, or similar Taxes resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne by Buyer. Buyer and the Seller will reasonably cooperate to minimize any such Transfer Taxes to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Buyer and Seller will each prepare and file such Tax Returns as such Party may be obligated by Law to prepare and file to report and/or pay any Transfer Taxes. If Seller is obligated to remit any Transfer Taxes to a Governmental Authority, the Buyer will pay to Seller such Transfer Taxes at least two business days prior to the due date for such Transfer Taxes.

(b)For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of Taxes for a Straddle Period, such Taxes shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period portion of the Straddle Period as follows: (i) in the case of property, ad valorem Taxes or other similar Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis or otherwise measured by the level of any item, such Taxes shall be allocated ratably on a per diem basis; and (ii) in the case of any other Tax (including, Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts, or imposed in respect of specific transactions (including, employment, withholding, sales, use, value added, goods and services and other similar Taxes)), be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date. Taxes allocated to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (whether relating to a Straddle Period or otherwise) shall be determined without regard to any loss, credit, or tax attribute of Buyer or its Affiliates for any Tax period or any loss, credit, or other tax attribute of the Purchased Assets or InStaff Business arising in a period (or portion thereof) commencing after the Closing Date.

(c)Buyer and Seller shall provide reasonable cooperation, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return or claim for any Tax refund and any audit, exam, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Purchased Assets or the InStaff Business for Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of records and information and powers of attorney that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer and Seller shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed with respect to or as a result of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

Section 5.08 Conduct of Business Prior to the Closing.

Section 6.04 Certain Limitations. The Party making a claim under this ARTICLE VI is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the Party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VI is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” The indemnification provided for in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 will be subject to the following limitations:

(a)The Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.02(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.02(a), as the case may be, exceeds $250,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party will only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the limitation contemplated by this Section 6.04(a) will not be applicable with respect to (A) breaches of the Fundamental Representations, (B) indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.01(b) and (c) or Sections 6.02(b) and (c), or (C) in the event of Fraud.

(b)The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Indemnifying Party will be liable to the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.02(a), as the case may be, will not exceed $3,230,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that the Indemnification Cap will not be applicable with respect (A) to breaches of the Fundamental Representations with respect to which the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party will be liable to the Indemnified Party will not exceed the Purchase Price, (B) indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.01(b) and (c) or Sections 6.02(b) and (c), for which no limitation shall apply, or (ii) in the event of Fraud, for which no limitation shall apply.

(c)In no event will any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, except in the event of Fraud or to the extent actually paid to a Governmental Authority or third Person in respect of a Third Party Claim for which indemnification is otherwise required.

(d)Each Party agrees that in the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation under this ARTICLE VI, such Party will take and cause its Affiliates to take, or cooperate with the other Party, if so requested, in order to take, commercially reasonable measures to mitigate the consequences of the related breach.

(e)Any specific Loss for which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under the terms of this ARTICLE VI will not be an indemnifiable Loss to the extent such Loss is reflected in the calculation of the Purchase Price as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.05 of this Agreement. No Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover Losses or obtain any payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once with respect to the same Loss.

Section 6.05 Matters Involving Third Party and Direct Claims.

(a)Promptly after the receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action by a Person who is not a Party to this Agreement (such action, a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party will, if a claim with respect thereto is to be made against any Indemnifying Party, give such Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to such Indemnified Party but in no event later than twenty calendar days after the Indemnified Party receives written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however,

that the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially prejudice any defense or claim available to the Indemnifying Party.

(b)If the Indemnifying Party, within twenty calendar days after receiving the Indemnified Party’s notice of the Third Party Claim, notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s desires to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume such defense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks non-monetary damages, including an injunction, specific performance or equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to (1) actively and diligently defend the Third Party Claim, (2) keep the Indemnified Party fully and timely apprised of all material developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third Party Claim, or (3) permit the Indemnified Party with the opportunity to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim (at the Indemnified Party’s own expense, except as provided below), or (iv) the Indemnified Party has reasonably determined in good faith that there would be a conflict of interest or other materially detrimental or inappropriate matter associated with joint representation of the indemnification proceeding.

(c)If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, (i) it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise, or consent to any order or judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim unless the proposed settlement or compromise, or judgement or order, as applicable, (1) involves only the payment of money by one or more Indemnifying Parties and (2) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates for any Liability arising from or related to such Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ, at its own expense, counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, and (iii) it will actively and diligently defend the Third Party Claim and keep the Indemnified Party timely apprised of all material developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third Party Claim, and (iv) in no event will the Indemnified Party settle any Third Party Claim while the defense thereof is controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6.05 without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d)Any proceeding by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof after it becomes aware of such Direct Claim, but in any event not later than twenty calendar days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim; provided, that failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially prejudice any defense or claim available to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will have twenty calendar days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim, provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such twenty calendar-day period, the Indemnifying

Party will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party will 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.

Section 6.06 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement will be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 6.07 Exclusive Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from Fraud) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement will be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VI. Nothing in this Section 6.07 will limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which such Person will be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any Fraud.

Section 6.08 Right to Set-Off. Buyer may set-off any amount to which Seller may be entitled under this Agreement against amounts otherwise payable by Buyer under this Agreement, including any indemnification payment or the Deferred Payment; provided, however, that prior to exercising any set-off rights pursuant to this Section 6.08, Buyer will notify Seller of its intent to setoff along with the reasons therefor.
