If Parent or any other Buyer Indemnified Party asserts a right of set-off pursuant to this Section 2.5(b), then the amount of the General Set-Off Amount, the Magneton Set-Off Amount, the Unfunded Pension Set Off Amount or the Closing Cash Balance Set-Off Amount, as applicable, shall be reduced to the extent that the applicable claim is not subject to a dispute between the parties, and any such reduction shall be deemed to be a reduction to the Deferred Cash Purchase Price; provided, however, if the applicable claim is subject to a dispute between the parties, then such parties shall resolve the disputed claim in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement to which such claim relates.
2.6 Stock Consideration. The Paying Agent, pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement and/or other documentation entered into among the Paying Agent, the Sellers, the Option holders and Warrant holders, will act as the custodian, transfer agent and payment and withholding agent with respect to the receipt and disposition of the Stock Consideration on behalf of the Sellers, the Option holders and Warrant holders. The Paying Agent, pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, will be subject to certain restrictions in its capacity as custodian, transfer agent and payment and withholding agent with respect to the Stock Consideration, including a restriction on transferring, selling, pledging, encumbering or otherwise disposing of any of the Stock Consideration for a period of three (3) months after the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”).
2.7 Escrow Substitution.
(a) At any time following the Closing, Parent or Buyer may in its sole discretion elect to fund (an “Escrow Substitution”) all or a portion of the Deferred Purchase Price or the Employee Holdback Amount (collectively, and including any accrued interest thereon and taking into account any deductions or offsets pursuant to this Agreement or any Employee Holdback Agreement, the “Applicable Deferred Amount”) into one or more escrow accounts established pursuant to an escrow agreement(s) entered into by and among Parent, Buyer or the Company, the Paying Agent, the Seller Representative and the Escrow Agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller Representative (the “Escrow Agreement”); provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall be obligated to enter into the Escrow Agreement within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Seller Representative and the applicable Seller or Employee/Service Providers of the notice referenced in Section 2.7(b) so long as it contains escrow distribution mechanics consistent with the set-off rights mechanics applicable to the Applicable Deferred Amount in this Agreement and the Employee Holdback Agreements. Upon any Escrow Substitution, any portion of the Applicable Deferred Amount funded in escrow pursuant thereto shall no longer accrue interest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Employee Holdback Agreements, as applicable, and any interest accruing thereafter on any such amounts shall accrue in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. If only a portion of the Applicable Deferred Amount is subject to an Escrow Substitution, any remaining portions thereof shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement or the Employee Holdback Agreements, as applicable.
22
(b) If Parent or Buyer elects to fund all or any portion of the Applicable Deferred Amount into an escrow account(s) pursuant to this Section 2.7, Parent or Buyer shall provide the Seller Representative and the applicable Seller or Employee/Service Provider with prior written notice thereof. Any reduction of the Employee Holdback Amount pursuant to an Escrow Substitution shall be incurred by the applicable Sellers and Employee/Service Providers pro rata based on the amounts payable under the Employee Holdback Agreements, and the Employee Holdback Agreements shall be deemed amended to reflect the occurrence of any Escrow Substitution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Employee Holdback Agreements, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, upon any Escrow Substitution, any references in this Agreement providing Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party with rights of set-off pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be deemed to also provide Buyer and any other Buyer Indemnified Party recourse against amounts held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement with respect to any claims providing for such set-off.
SECTION 3
CLOSING; CLOSING CASH BALANCE; WITHHOLDING
3.1 Closing. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Shares and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place electronically on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”).
3.2 Closing Cash Balance.
(a) Estimated Closing Cash Balance. Not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have delivered to Buyer a written statement setting forth its good faith estimate of the Closing Cash Balance as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Cash Balance”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Company’s calculation of the Estimated Closing Cash Balance (including any Company Debt or Seller Parties Transaction Expenses deducted therefrom). If the Estimated Closing Cash Balance is less than the Closing Cash Balance Target Amount, the amount of such deficit shall be the “Estimated Closing Cash Balance Deficit.” If the Estimated Closing Cash Balance is greater than the Closing Cash Balance Target Amount, the amount of such excess up to the Closing Cash Balance Surplus Cap shall be the “Estimated Closing Cash Balance Surplus.” To the extent practicable, the Company and Buyer shall cooperate to update and issue revisions to the Estimated Closing Cash Balance after delivery of the written statement contemplated by this Section 3.2 as of the actual Closing Date.
(b) Determination of Final Closing Cash Balance. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (“Closing Cash Balance Adjustment Period”), Buyer shall provide to the Seller Representative a statement setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Cash Balance (the “Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement”). After delivery of the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement, the Seller Representative and its accountants shall be permitted to review and copy the work papers of
23
Buyer and its accountants related to the preparation of the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement and make other inquiries regarding questions concerning, or disagreements with, the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement arising in the course of its review, in each case as reasonably requested by the Seller Representative. The Seller Representative shall deliver, on or prior to the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after its receipt of the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement (the “Objection Deadline Date”), a written notice indicating that either the Seller Representative accepts the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement (the “Acceptance Notice”) or a statement describing in reasonable detail all objections to the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement (the “Objection Notice”). If the Seller Representative timely delivers an Objection Notice, such objections shall be resolved as follows:
(i) Buyer and the Seller Representative shall first use all reasonable efforts to resolve such objections and if it is so resolved, the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement shall be modified as necessary to reflect such resolution and such resolution as reflected in the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement shall be final and binding upon the parties.
(ii) If Buyer and the Seller Representative do not reach a resolution of all objections set forth in the Objection Notice within twenty (20) Business Days after the Objection Deadline Date, the dispute shall be referred, on the application of either Buyer or the Seller Representative, to an independent internationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Seller Representative (the “Accounting Firm”) within ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of such twenty (20) Business Day period. If Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to agree on an independent internationally recognized accounting firm within ten (10) Business Days, then Buyer and the Seller Representative shall each select an accounting firm within ten (10) days after the end of such ten (10) Business Day period, and such accounting firms shall promptly communicate with each other and agree on an independent internationally recognized accounting firm within ten (10) days, and the selected accounting firm shall be the Accounting Firm hereunder. The Accounting Firm shall resolve any remaining objections set forth in the Objection Notice (the “Unresolved Objections”). Each of Buyer and the Seller Representative shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the referral of the Unresolved Objections to the Accounting Firm, prepare a written statement describing their respective positions with respect to the Unresolved Objections, which, together with the relevant documents, will be submitted to the Accounting Firm for review and final determination. Following submission of any Unresolved Objections to the Accounting Firm, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall furnish the Accounting Firm with such information and documents as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request in order to resolve the Unresolved Objections.
(iii) Within thirty (30) days after the date of its engagement, the Accounting Firm shall make a determination as to the resolution of the Unresolved Objections and shall issue a ruling of such resolution, which shall be binding upon the parties and include an illustration of all adjustments to the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement based on any resolutions to objections agreed upon by Buyer and the Seller
24
Representative and pursuant to the Accounting Firm’s resolution of the Unresolved Objections. The Accounting Firm shall make a determination only as to the Unresolved Objections and shall not decide any specific items not under dispute and its determination as to the Unresolved Objections shall be within the range of values assigned to each such disputed item in the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement and the Objection Notice, respectively.
(iv) The Final Closing Cash Balance Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and the Seller Representative. Buyer and the Seller Representative agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 3.2(b) for resolving disputes with respect to the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving such disputes and the Final Closing Cash Balance Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties; provided, that this provision shall not prohibit either Buyer or the Seller Representative from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Accounting Firm. As used herein, the term “Final Closing Cash Balance Statement” shall mean and refer to (i) the statement setting forth the Estimated Closing Cash Balance delivered by Company to Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2(a) above, to the extent that no Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement is delivered by Buyer to Company within the Closing Cash Balance Adjustment Period, or (ii) the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement delivered by Buyer to the extent that the Seller Representative delivers to Buyer an Acceptance Notice or fails to deliver an Objection Notice by the Objection Deadline Date, or (iii) the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement as adjusted pursuant to (a) the mutual resolution of Buyer and the Seller Representative as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(i) above or (b) the Accounting Firm’s resolution of the Unresolved Objections. The Closing Cash Balance set forth in the Final Closing Cash Balance Statement shall be referred to herein as the “Final Closing Cash Balance.”
(v) Buyer and the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, will each bear their own fees and expenses, including the fees and expenses of their respective accountants, in preparing or reviewing, as the case may be, the Draft Closing Cash Balance Statement. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer and the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total Unresolved Objections originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the Unresolved Objections total an amount equal to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of the Seller Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers. However, Buyer and the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, will each bear its own costs in presenting its position regarding any Unresolved Objections to the Accounting Firm.
(c) Post-Closing Adjustment. Within three (3) Business Days after the earliest to occur of: (A) the expiration of the Closing Cash Balance Adjustment Period, (B) the expiration of the Objection Deadline Date, if no Objection Notice is delivered by said date, (C) delivery by the Seller Representative of the Acceptance Notice to Buyer and (D) the mutual
25
or final resolution of any Unresolved Objections pursuant to Section 3.2(b) above, the “Cash Adjustment Amount” shall be calculated and distributed to Buyer or the Paying Agent (on behalf of the Sellers), as applicable, as follows:
(i) If the Final Closing Cash Balance is equal to the Estimated Closing Cash Balance the Cash Adjustment Amount shall be deemed to equal $0.00.
(ii) If (A) an Estimated Closing Cash Balance Deficit existed at the Closing and (B) the Final Closing Cash Balance is less than the Estimated Closing Cash Balance, then the Cash Adjustment Amount shall be payable to Buyer and shall equal the amount of such shortfall.
(iii) If (A) an Estimated Closing Cash Balance Deficit existed at the Closing and (B) the Final Closing Cash Balance is greater than the Estimated Closing Cash Balance, then the Cash Adjustment Amount shall be payable to the Paying Agent (on behalf of the Sellers) and shall equal the amount of such excess less the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Cash Balance exceeds the Closing Cash Balance Cap.
(iv) If (A) an Estimated Closing Cash Balance Surplus existed at the Closing and (B) the Final Closing Cash Balance is less than the Estimated Closing Cash Balance, then the Cash Adjustment Amount shall be payable to Buyer and shall equal the amount of such shortfall less the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Closing Cash Balance exceeded the Closing Cash Balance Cap; provided, however, that if the Final Closing Cash Balance and the Estimated Closing Cash Balance are each greater than the Closing Cash Balance Cap, then the Cash Adjustment Amount shall be deemed to equal $0.00.
(v) If (A) an Estimated Closing Cash Balance Surplus existed at the Closing and (B) the Final Closing Cash Balance is greater than the Estimated Closing Cash Balance, then the Cash Adjustment Amount shall be payable to the Paying Agent (on behalf of the Sellers) and shall equal the amount of such excess less the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Cash Balance exceeds the Closing Cash Balance Cap; provided, however, that if the Final Closing Cash Balance and the Estimated Closing Cash Balance are each greater than the Closing Cash Balance Cap, then the Cash Adjustment Amount shall be deemed to equal $0.00.
Any Cash Adjustment Amount payable to the Sellers shall be increased by the amount of any VAT attributable to the Seller Parties Transaction Expenses actually recovered by the Company prior to the date of payment, if any, and the resulting amount shall be paid by Buyer in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Paying Agent or to the account or accounts otherwise designated by the Seller Representative in writing within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Final Closing Cash Balance Statement is finally determined. Any Cash Adjustment Amount payable to Buyer shall be decreased by the amount of any VAT attributable to the Seller Parties Transaction Expenses actually recovered by the Company prior to the date of payment, if any, and the resulting amount shall be set-off against the amount of the Closing Cash Balance Set-Off Amount in accordance with Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent any Cash Adjustment Amount payable to Buyer is in excess of the Closing Cash Balance Set-Off Amount, then any such excess shall be set-off against the General Set-Off Amount in accordance with Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement.
26
3.3 Withholding Rights. Buyer, the Paying Agent, and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from payment of the Closing Cash Payment, the Stock Consideration, the Deferred Cash Purchase Price, amounts payable pursuant to the Seller Note or any other amounts (or any portion thereof) payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person, such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the ITO or any other applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Buyer, the Paying Agent or the Company, such withheld amounts shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding the above, Buyer, the Paying Agent or the Company shall release any such withheld amounts (or such applicable portion thereof) not yet remitted to the ITA to the respective Person in accordance with a Valid Certificate provided by such Person at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the last day on which the amounts so withheld must be transferred to the ITA. If Buyer, the Paying Agent or the Company so withholds amounts and pays them to the ITA with respect to a Seller, Buyer, the Paying Agent or the Company, if so requested, shall furnish to such Person documents evidencing such withholding and payment. In addition, to the extent that amounts are so withheld by Buyer, the Paying Agent or the Company, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Israeli Tax, Buyer, the Paying Agent and the Company shall not withhold any amount pursuant to this Section 3.3 from payments to be made to an employee of dbMotion, Inc., if the Person entitled to payment has provided to Buyer, prior to making any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement, a written instrument pursuant to which such Person represents that he/she is not an Israeli resident.

With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that at any time may permit the Holders to sell Registrable Shares to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), provided that any Holder holds any Registrable Shares that are eligible for resale under Rule 144 and such information is necessary in order for any Holder to sell such Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 144, Parent agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Parent under the Exchange Act so long as Parent remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required in order for a Holder to rely on the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

69
employee benefits in the aggregate as those provided to similarly situated U.S. employees of Buyer; provided, however, that during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of December 31, 2013 or termination of employment, such employees shall continue to be covered by the Company Plans sponsored or maintained by the U.S. Company Subsidiary, on the same terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to Closing, and (ii) employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries outside the U.S. so employed immediately following the Closing Date shall be provided, for one year following the Closing Date, employee benefits no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date.

Buyer shall cause its health benefit plans to waive any pre-existing condition limitations on coverage for the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to confer upon any employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary any right with respect to continuance of employment by or other service with the Company, any Company Subsidiary, Buyer or any Subsidiary of Buyer, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to terminate the employment, engagement or other association of any employee or consultant of the Company or any Company Subsidiary at any time, or require Buyer or any Subsidiary of Buyer to continue the employment or services of any employee or consultant of the Company or any Company Subsidiary following the Closing Date and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an amendment of or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or Buyer or any Subsidiary of Buyer to amend, terminate or otherwise discontinue any or all plans, practices or policies of the Company or Buyer in effect from time to time, except that the Company shall assume the Company’s Employee Share Incentive Plan, 2004, as amended. Buyer shall or shall cause its Affiliates to provide COBRA continuation coverage under a health plan of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer to all “M&A qualified beneficiaries,” as such term is defined for purposes of Treas.

Any such filings and submissions shall be in substantial compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the Company shall inform the Seller Representative of any material communication received by the Company from the OCS in respect thereof. Each party hereto agrees to cooperate in making all such filings and submissions, including (i) using reasonable efforts to execute or deliver any instruments necessary to obtain the Magneton Transfer Approval and (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the Magneton Transfer Amount (provided that such efforts shall not include agreeing to any arrangement that
70
would interfere with the business and operations of the Company following the Closing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not make any filings or submissions with the OCS in connection with obtaining the Magneton Transfer Approval without the consent of the Seller Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) until the date that is thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company of an initial response from the OCS with respect to the Company’s filings and submissions to obtain the OCS Transfer Approval (which Buyer intends to cause the Company to submit promptly following the Closing). If the Magneton Transfer Approval is not obtained by the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Company shall thereafter have the unlimited right, in its sole discretion, to make or cause to be made all necessary filings and submissions to obtain the Magneton Transfer Approval.
(b) In connection with obtaining the Magneton Transfer Approval pursuant to this Section 7.11, the amount of any Magneton Transfer Amount paid by the Company in respect thereof shall reduce the Magneton Set-off Amount in accordance with Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent the Magneton Transfer Amount is in excess of the Magneton Set-off Amount, the amount of such excess shall be paid to Buyer by the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Buyer; provided, further, that Parent shall have the option to instead set-off the amount of such excess against the General Set-Off Amount in accordance with Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement.
7.12 Non-Solicitation.
(a) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, each Investor Seller agrees to not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or engagement any Protected Employee; provided, however, that general advertisements not directed at any such Protected Employee shall not be deemed to be a breach by an Investor Seller of the non-solicitation restrictions set forth in this Section 7.12(a).
(b) If any provision of this Section 7.12 shall for any reason be held invalid in part, such provision shall be modified, as to time, location or both, only to the minimum extent required for its validity and enforceability under applicable Legal Requirements and shall be binding and enforceable with respect to each Seller as so modified.
(c) If any provision of this Section 7.12 or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Section 7.12 will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as to effect the intent of the parties hereto.
(d) Each Investor Seller acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 7.12 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer and its investment in the goodwill of and in the Company. The restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7.12 are covenants independent of any other provision of this Agreement or any instrument or other document contemplated hereby between the parties, and the existence of any claim that any Investor Seller may allege against Buyer under any other provision of this Agreement or any instrument or other document contemplated hereby will not prevent enforcement of these covenants. Without limiting the remedies available to Buyer, each Investor
71
Seller acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7.12 will result in material irreparable injury to Buyer for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, Buyer shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach of this Section 7.12, restraining any Investor Seller from engaging in activities prohibited by this Section 7.12 or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in this Section 7.12.
7.13 Option Tax Ruling. Prior to the date hereof, the Company has filed with the ITA an application for a ruling (the “Option Tax Ruling”) and has obtained from the ITA an interim Option Tax Ruling.

7.15 Unfunded Pension Set Off Amount. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Company shall apply to the Israel Ministry of Trade and Commerce to request confirmation that the Unfunded Pension and Severance Reduction should be zero. In the event that the Company’s application is approved, in whole or in part, the amount of the Unfunded Pension Set Off Amount shall be reduced in accordance with Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent the Unfunded Pension Set Off Amount is not reduced to zero, such amount shall be paid to Buyer by the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Buyer; provided, further, that Parent shall have the option to instead set-off such amount against the General Set-Off Amount in accordance with Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement.

(i) any misrepresentation or breach or failure of any representation or warranty (other than the representations and warranties in Section 4.10) made by the Company or an applicable Company Indemnifying Party in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Company or the applicable Company Indemnifying Party to be true, complete and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date (it being understood and agreed that for purposes of determining the amount of Damages to which any indemnification applies, each representation and warranty shall be read without regard and without giving effect to the terms “material” and “Material Adverse Effect” or words of similar import);
76
(ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Company or an applicable Company Indemnifying Party in this Agreement or in any agreement or document entered into by the Company or the applicable Company Indemnifying Party in connection with this Agreement, except for a breach or non-fulfillment resulting from any action or failure to act by Buyer or any of its Affiliates;
(iii) any fraud on the part of the Company or the applicable Company Indemnifying Party in connection with this Agreement or any certificate delivered by the Company or such Company Indemnifying Party in connection therewith;

(v) any Action filed against the Company or any Company Subsidiary for events or actions occurring or arising prior to the Closing, including the matters identified in Section 4.22 of the Disclosure Schedule;

(viii) any Unfunded Pension and Severance Reduction not otherwise borne by the Sellers hereunder or any Liability incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party arising from any actions taken in compliance with Section 7.15.
77
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.1(c), (i) the Company Indemnifying Parties shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Buyer Indemnified Party for, any Damages pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ Damages exceeds $2,252,316 (the “Deductible”), after which the Company Indemnifying Parties shall be obligated only for such aggregate Damages of the Buyer Indemnified Parties in excess of the Deductible and (ii) the cumulative indemnification obligations of the Company Indemnifying Parties shall in no case exceed $22,523,162, except for (A) the indemnification obligations under Sections 13.1(a)(ii) through (vii) and (B) indemnification obligations with respect to breaches of any of the Fundamental Representations, which shall in no case exceed $225,231,621.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) with respect to any Buyer Claim related to a breach by a Company Indemnifying Party of the representations made by such party under Section 5, only the Company Indemnifying Party that is in breach thereof shall be liable for indemnification hereunder and (ii) with respect to Sections 7.12(a), only the Company Indemnifying Party in breach thereof shall be liable for indemnification hereunder.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Company Indemnifying Party be liable for indemnification obligations that, individually or in the aggregate, exceed the value of the aggregate consideration allocated to such Company Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
For the purposes hereof the term “Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to each Company Indemnifying Party, the quotient of (i) the value of the consideration paid (or payable, with respect to the Seller Note, the Deferred Cash Purchase Price or any Employee Holdback Agreement) to such Company Indemnifying Party, divided by (ii) the aggregate sum of the Closing Cash Payment, plus the amount of the Seller Note, plus the amount of the Stock Consideration, plus, the amount of the Deferred Cash Purchase Price, plus the Employee Holdback Amount paid to all Company Indemnifying Parties (collectively, the “Aggregate Consideration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as all holders of Options have executed an Optionholder Letter of Transmittal, the Aggregate Consideration paid to all Company Indemnifying Parties for purposes of clause (ii) above shall be deemed to exclude the amounts payable to the holders of Options who have not exercised an Optionholder Letter of Transmittal.
13.2 Indemnification of Seller Indemnified Parties. From and after the Closing, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Company Indemnifying Party, its respective Affiliates (excluding, following the

Closing, the Company) and each of their respective successors, permitted assigns, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against, and reimburse any Seller Indemnified Party for, all Damages that such Seller Indemnified Party may suffer or incur, or become subject to, relating to or arising out of or in connection with any of the following:
(a) any misrepresentation or breach or failure of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any document or certificate delivered by Buyer under this Agreement to be true, complete and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date; or
(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyer in this Agreement or in any agreement or document entered into by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, except for a breach or non-fulfillment resulting from any action or failure to act by the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates.
13.3 Notification of Claims. A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending claim, threatened claim (to the extent in writing), demand or circumstance that the Indemnified Party has determined in good faith has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending claim, threatened claim (to the extent in writing), claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third-Party Claim”)), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim, demand or circumstance; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Section 13 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure, it being understood that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 10 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
13.4 Third-Party Claims. Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 13.3, with respect to any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, upon agreeing in writing that it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim hereunder, assume the defense and control of any Third-Party Claim and, in the event that the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such claim, it shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense (except in those instances in which a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable expenses of one separate counsel selected by the Indemnified Party); provided, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be permitted to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that such Third-Party Claim is reasonably likely to materially and adversely impact the reputation of such Indemnified Party or one of its Affiliates. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s written notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the Third-Party Claim without admitting any liability on
79
the part of the Indemnifying Party, but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement. The Person that shall control the defense of any such Third-Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence after consultation with the other party and shall diligently take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim. The Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Company Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of their Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate fully with the Controlling Party in the defense of any Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim, so long as the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.1, if applicable), (ii) not encumber any of the material assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition that would apply to or materially adversely affect any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party’s business, (iii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete release of any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third-Party Claim and (iv) obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party with respect to such settlement or judgment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).
13.5 Exclusive Remedies.
(a) After the Closing, subject to the Closing Cash Balance adjustment provisions set forth in Section 3.2, the indemnification provisions in this Section 13 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Company Indemnifying Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each document delivered at the Closing. The first source of recovery and recourse for indemnification or other claims of the Buyer Indemnified Parties related to this Agreement or any other document delivered at the Closing shall be from the General Set-Off Amount, the Magneton Set-Off Amount or the Closing Cash Balance Set-Off Amount, as applicable, subject to the terms of this Agreement. The parties may not avoid the limitations on Liability set forth in this Section 13 by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of Liability.
(b) In the event the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to recover the same Damages under more than one provision of this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be permitted to recover such Damages one time, and without duplication.
(c) The amount of any Damages payable under this Section 13 shall be net of amounts actually recovered by the Company, Buyer or any Affiliate thereof under applicable insurance policies, indemnification provisions or otherwise. If the Company, Buyer or any Affiliate thereof receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, indemnification provisions or otherwise subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Company Indemnifying Parties, then the amount of Damages to be recovered by Buyer shall be recalculated, taking into account the limitations of this Section 13, as if such insurance proceeds, indemnification or other amounts had been received prior to the collection of any Damages under this Agreement and any excess Damages previously collected after such recalculation shall increase the General Set-Off Amount, or after the release of the Deferred Cash Purchase Price, such amount shall be distributed to the Company Indemnifying Parties, based on their respective Pro Rata Share as set forth in the Allocation Statement.
80
(d) The exercise of any right of set-off in good faith in accordance with Section 2.5(b), whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute a breach under this Agreement or another other documents contemplated hereby. Neither the exercise nor the failure to exercise such right of set-off will constitute an election of remedies.
13.6 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Company Indemnifying Parties, the Seller Representative, Parent and Buyer agree to treat (and to cause their Affiliates to treat) any payments received pursuant to this Section 13 as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirements.
13.7 Investigation; No Recourse Against Company. No Indemnifying Party shall have any right of contribution or other recourse against the Company, any Company Subsidiary, or any of their respective Representatives, assigns or successors, for any indemnification claims asserted by any Indemnified Party, it being acknowledged and agreed that the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company are solely for the benefit of the Buyer Indemnified Parties.
13.8 Definition of Damages. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Damages” shall mean:
(a) with respect to Buyer Indemnified Parties, 95.75% of the amount of any loss, damage, liability, judgment, fine, penalty, cost or expense (including reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses) incurred, paid, accrued or sustained by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, whether or not arising out of a Third-Party Claim, including any reasonable costs of defending or enforcing the Buyer Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, excluding all punitive damages (except to the extent that any such punitive damages are payable in connection with a Third-Party Claim); and
(b) with respect to Seller Indemnified Parties, the amount of any loss, damage, liability, judgment, fine, penalty, cost or expense (including reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses) incurred, paid, accrued or sustained by the Seller Indemnified Parties, whether or not arising out of a Third-Party Claim, including any reasonable costs of defending or enforcing the Buyer Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, excluding all punitive damages (except to the extent that any such punitive damages are payable in connection with a Third-Party Claim).
SECTION 14
TAXES
14.1 Straddle Period. All Tax Returns of the Company and any Company Subsidiary for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and any Straddle Period, to the extent filed or required to be filed after the Closing Date, shall be prepared and filed (or caused to be filed) by Buyer. With respect to any such Tax Return relating to income Taxes (or franchise taxes based on income), (a) Buyer will prepare (or cause to be
81
prepared) such returns consistent with past practice, except as required by applicable law and (b) Buyer shall provide Seller Representative with a copy of such return prior to the filing thereof, and Seller Representative shall have a reasonable opportunity (for a period of not less than twenty (20) days) to review and comment on such return prior to filing. In any case of a taxable period which includes the Closing Date (but does not end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (a) to the Sellers for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date and (b) to Buyer for the period subsequent to the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Tax Period”). For purposes of such allocation, the amount of (i) any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts or payroll (other than payroll that is accrued but unpaid as of the Closing Date) and (ii) any withholding Taxes (including Taxes required to be deducted and withheld under Chapter 3 of Subtitle A of the Code) to the extent not withheld from amounts paid, shall in each case be allocated based on an interim closing of the books of the Company and each Company Subsidiary as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or any Company Subsidiary holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) provided that any transaction (other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) that occurs on the Closing Date and after the Closing that is not in the ordinary course of business and is undertaken at the direction of Buyer shall be included in the Post-Closing Tax Period. The amount of other Taxes of the Company and each Company Subsidiary shall be apportioned to the Sellers based on the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the taxable period up to and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.
14.2 Transfer Taxes. Any sales, use, transfer, documentary, gains, stamp, duties, recording and similar Taxes incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Sellers and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer. The person required under applicable law to file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes (the “Transfer Tax Returns”) shall timely and accurately prepare such Transfer Tax Returns and timely pay all such Transfer Taxes; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that Buyer, the Company or any Company Subsidiary may seek indemnification with respect to the Transfer Taxes for which the Sellers are liable pursuant to the preceding sentence. If required by applicable Tax Law, the Sellers or the Seller Representative will join in the execution of any Transfer Tax Return.
14.3 Section 338 Election. Buyer may not, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, make an election under Section 338 of the Code or similar section under state, local or foreign law without the consent of the Seller Representative in its sole discretion and only if, upon such election, Buyer indemnifies Sellers for all Taxes incurred by them, or for which Sellers would be liable under this Agreement or by law, as a result of such election.
14.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer and the Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with any Tax matters with respect to Buyer, the Sellers, the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries, including any such
82
matters relating to the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining a Tax Liability or participating in or conducting any Tax Proceeding. All refunds for Taxes for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and any portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be paid to Sellers net of costs and expenses of obtaining such refund (and only to the extent such amount (a) was not included in the Closing Cash Balance as set forth in the Final Closing Cash Balance Statement and (b) is not attributable to a tax attribute arising after the Closing Date) after receipt from the Sellers of an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that the Sellers shall return such amounts (together with interest and penalties imposed by the applicable Tax Authority) that may be subsequently claimed by the Tax Authority paying such refund. Except in connection with a Tax matter described in Section 14.6, Buyer, the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall not file any amended Tax Return that will increase the Sellers’ liability for Taxes or for indemnification under this Agreement, without the written consent of the Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
14.5 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy, or claim between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to the provisions of this Agreement that relates to the computation of the amount of any Taxes for purposes of applying the provisions of this Agreement which cannot be resolved by negotiations between Buyer and the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution. The Accounting Firm shall control the proceedings related to the dispute resolution and may request such evidence and information as it deems necessary. The Accounting Firm shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Accounting Firm shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Buyer and the Seller Representative, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting computation of any Tax, fee, deduction or other amount in dispute which, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on Buyer, the Seller Representative, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer and the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total an amount equal to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of the Seller Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and forty percent (40%) of such costs would be borne by the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers.
14.6 Tax Claims. This Section 14.6 (and not Section 13.4) shall control any inquiry, assessment, proceeding or other similar event relating to Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. The Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to represent the interests of the Company or any Company Subsidiary before the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to any inquiry, assessment, proceeding or other similar event (a “Tax Matter”) relating solely to Taxes of any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and has the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter,
83
including responding to inquiries, preparing Tax Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter; provided, however, (a) Buyer has the right (but not the obligation) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, and (b) the Seller Representative shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter that could result in a present or future increase in Tax Liability for Buyer, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the foregoing for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Buyer has the right to represent the interests of the Company or any Company Subsidiary before the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to any Tax Matter that does not relate solely to Taxes of any Pre-Closing Tax Period and has the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter; provided, however, that with respect to a Tax Matter that could affect the liability of any Seller pursuant to Section 13.1 or otherwise under this Agreement, (i) the Seller Representative has the right (but not the obligation) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by Buyer, and (ii) Buyer shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter that affects the liability of any Seller for Taxes or pursuant to Section 13.1 or otherwise under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.
SECTION 15
SELLER REPRESENTATIVE
15.1 Appointment of Seller Representative; Agreements Binding on the Seller Parties. Each of the Company Indemnifying Parties, by virtue of executing or joining this Agreement, hereby (a) irrevocably constitutes and appoints, effective as of the Closing, Shareholder Representative Services LLC (together with its permitted successors, the “Seller Representative”), as his, her or its true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact, for all purposes under this Agreement, and to exercise all or any of the powers, authority and discretion conferred on each of him, her or it under this Agreement following the Closing (including Section 13 and this Section 15) or any other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) agrees to be bound by and comply with, all of the obligations of the Company Indemnifying Parties set forth herein (including Section 13 and this Section 15). The Seller Representative agrees to act as, and to undertake the duties and responsibilities of, such agent and attorney-in-fact. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest, is made for the benefit of third parties and is irrevocable and shall survive the dissolution, death or incapacity of each of the Company Indemnifying Parties.
84
15.2 Powers of the Seller Representative.
(a) The Seller Representative shall have and may exercise all of the powers specifically conferred upon it pursuant to this Agreement, which shall include:
(i) The power to execute as Seller Representative any agreement or instrument entered into or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby;
(ii) The power to give or receive any notice or instruction permitted or required under this Agreement, or any other agreement or document entered into or executed in connection herewith, to be given or received by the Seller Representative or any Company Indemnifying Party, and each of them (other than notice for service of process relating to any Action before a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, which notice must be given to each Company Indemnifying Party individually, as applicable), and to take any and all action for and on behalf of the Company Indemnifying Parties, and each of them, under this Agreement or any other such agreement or document;
(iii) The power (subject to the provisions of Section 15.2 hereof) to (A) contest, negotiate, defend, compromise or settle any Actions for which a Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification through counsel selected by the Seller Representative and solely at the cost, risk and expense of the Company Indemnifying Parties, (B) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such Buyer Claims, (C) resolve any Buyer Claims, (D) take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and (E) take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Company Indemnifying Party or necessary in the judgment of the Seller Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement;
(iv) The power to consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Company Indemnifying Parties;
(v) The power to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement providing rights or benefits to any Company Indemnifying Party in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein; and
(vi) The power to take any actions on behalf of any Company Indemnifying Party in regard to such other matters as are reasonably necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or as the Seller Representative reasonably believes are in the best interests of the Company Indemnifying Parties.
85
(b) The Seller Representative represents and warrants to Buyer that:
(i) The Seller Representative has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder; and
(ii) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Seller Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer and the Seller Parties, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Seller Representative, enforceable against the Seller Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and to general equity principles.
15.3 Closing Cash Balance Disputes; Claims by Buyer.
(a) Upon the Seller Representative’s delivery of an Objection Notice pursuant to Section 3.2 or the Seller Representative’s receipt or notice of any Buyer Claim pursuant to Section 13.3 or 13.4, the Seller Representative shall give prompt written notice of the amount and details thereof (to the extent of the information in its possession) to each of the Company Indemnifying Parties.
(b) The Seller Representative shall have the discretion to take such action as it shall determine to be in the best interests of all of the Company Indemnifying Parties, taken as a whole, including authorizing the set-off of any portion of the General Set-Off Amount in accordance with the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement; provided, however, that, in any event, all Company Indemnifying Parties shall be treated in substantially the same manner.
15.4 Notices. Any notice given to the Seller Representative will constitute notice to each and all of the Company Indemnifying Parties at the time notice is given to the Seller Representative. Any action taken by, or notice or instruction received from, the Seller Representative will be deemed to be action by, or notice or instruction from, each and all of the Company Indemnifying Parties. Buyer and the Company will disregard any notice or instruction received from any one or more individual Company Indemnifying Parties.
15.5 Agreement of the Seller Representative. The Seller Representative hereby agrees to do such acts, and to execute further documents, as shall be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.
15.6 Reimbursement and Liability of Seller Representative.
(a) At the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of the Sellers, shall deposit an amount equal to the Seller Representative Expense Amount with the Seller Representative; provided, however, that such Seller Representative Expense Amount shall be held in a separate account solely for the use of the Seller Representative to pay the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Seller Representative in the performance of its duties hereunder, including all expenses arising in connection with claims for indemnification under Section 15.6(b) (“Representative Expenses”).
86
Neither Buyer nor any Buyer Indemnified Party shall have any right, title or interest to the Seller Representative Expense Amount and shall not make any claims against the Seller Representative Expense Amount under this Agreement or otherwise. The Seller Representative may be reimbursed or reimburse any third party for any Representative Expenses from the Seller Representative Expense Amount. The Sellers will not receive any interest or earnings on the Seller Representative Expense Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Seller Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Seller Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Seller Representative Expense Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. As soon as practicable following the release in full of the Deferred Cash Purchase Price, the Seller Representative will deliver the balance of the Seller Representative Expense Amount to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Sellers. For tax purposes, the Seller Representative Expense Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Sellers at the time of Closing.
(b) The Seller Representative shall not be liable to any Company Indemnifying Party for any act done or omitted hereunder as Seller Representative while acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify the Seller Representative and hold the Seller Representative and its successors and assigns harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, obligations, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising as a result of or incurred in connection with any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Seller Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case as such Representative Loss is incurred or suffered; provided that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative will reimburse the Company Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Seller Representative by the Company Indemnifying Parties, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Seller Representative from (i) the Seller Representative Expense Amount and (ii) the amounts of the Deferred Cash Purchase Price actually distributed to the Company Indemnifying Parties at such time as such remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Indemnifying Parties; provided however, that while this section allows the Seller Representative to be paid from the Seller Representative Expense Amount and the Deferred Cash Purchase Price, this does not relieve the Company Indemnifying Parties from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as such Representative Losses are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Seller Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise.
15.7 Reliance on Seller Representative. Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of the Seller Representative herein and to treat such Seller Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Seller and as having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Agreement. None of Buyer nor its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) shall be liable to any Company Indemnifying Party for any actions taken or omitted by them in reliance upon any instructions, notice or other instruments delivered by the Seller Representative. No resignation of the Seller Representative shall become effective unless at least thirty (30) days’ prior written
87
notice of the replacement or resignation of such Seller Representative shall be provided to Buyer. Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) shall be entitled to rely at any time after receipt of any such notice on the most recent notice so received. If the Seller Representative shall be unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, its successor who shall serve and exercise the powers of the Seller Representative hereunder shall be appointed by a written instrument signed by Company Indemnifying Parties holding a majority interest in the Deferred Cash Purchase Price.
SECTION 16
RELEASE
16.1 Release. The Sellers, in their capacity as shareholders of the Company and in their capacity as directors, officers or employees of or consultants to the Company or any Company Subsidiary, as applicable, effective as of the Closing Date and subject to the Closing, shall be deemed to have, and hereby do, unconditionally release and forever discharge the Company, each Company Subsidiary, Buyer and any Affiliate of Buyer including their respective officers, directors and employees (the “Released Parties”), from (i) any and all obligations or duties the Company or any Company Subsidiary might have to each of the Sellers and (ii) any and all claims of liability, whether legal or equitable, of every kind and nature, which each of the Sellers ever had, now has or may claim against the Released Parties, in each case arising out of facts or circumstances occurring at any time on or prior to the date hereof (the “Released Claims”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Released Claims shall exclude any right of any Seller to enforce this Agreement and with respect to wages or employee benefits accrued as of the Closing arising from or in connection with such Seller’s employment by the Company or any Company Subsidiary prior to the Closing. It is the intention of the Sellers in executing this Agreement and in giving and receiving the consideration called for herein that the release contained in this Section 16.1 shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfaction and general release of claims and from all Released Claims and the final resolution by such Seller and the Released Parties of all Released Claims. Each Seller hereby represents to Buyer, the Company and each Company Subsidiary that such Seller has not voluntarily or involuntarily assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any Person any Released Claims and that no Person other than such Seller has any interest in any Released Claim by Legal Requirement or contract by virtue of any action or inaction by such Seller. The invalidity or unenforceability of any part of this Section 16.1 shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Section 16.1, which shall remain in full force and effect. Apart from the claims above expressly excepted from this general release, the Released Claims include all other claims even if the claims and their existence are unknown or not suspected, and even if knowledge of those claims would have affected the acceptance of this general release.
16.2 Specific Term of Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Section 16 constitute essential terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the execution of this Agreement by the Sellers shall constitute the express agreement of each such party to be bound by such terms and provisions.

17.2 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements and other provisions set forth in this Agreement and made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the successors, heirs and permitted assigns of such party, whether or not so expressed. None of the parties may assign, transfer or delegate any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the consent in writing of Buyer and the Seller Representative; provided, that Buyer may, without obtaining the prior written consent of any Person, assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to (a) any Affiliate of Buyer or (b) any successor of such party by merger, by purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Buyer or otherwise, provided, however, that Buyer shall remain responsible for compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and any breach by any Buyer assignee, including with respect to the payment of the Closing Cash Payment, the delivery of the Stock Consideration, payment obligations under the Seller Note and payment of the Deferred Cash Purchase Price. The Seller Representative shall execute such acknowledgments of such assignments in such forms reasonably satisfactory to the Seller Representative as Buyer may from time to time reasonably request. Any purported assignment or delegation of rights or obligations in violation of this Section 17.2 is void and of no force or effect.
90
17.3 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected (so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party), it being intended that each of the parties’ rights and privileges shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, and any such invalidity, illegality and unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction (so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party). If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such court has the power to fashion and enforce another provision (instead of the provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) that is valid, legal and enforceable and carries out the intentions of the parties hereto under this Agreement and, in the event that such court does not exercise such power, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to agree to another provision (instead of the provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) that is valid, legal and enforceable and carries out the parties’ intentions to the greatest lawful extent under this Agreement.
17.4 Third Parties. Except as specifically set forth or referred to herein, nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or any other certificate, document, instrument or agreement executed in connection herewith, nor be relied upon other than by the parties hereto and their permitted successors or assigns. The Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties not party hereto are entitled to the rights and remedies of third party beneficiaries with respect to Section 13.
17.5 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and any of the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection with any matter which is the subject of this Agreement, including the validity hereof and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to the conflicts-of-laws provisions thereof). The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of competent civil jurisdiction sitting in the State of Delaware over any Action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or related to any matter which is the subject of this Agreement and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such Action may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of such Action brought in such court or any claim that such Action brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in such Action may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by any applicable Legal Requirement. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any Action by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.1 and consents to the exercise of jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware over it and its properties with respect to any Action, suit or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement.
91
17.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
17.7 Entire Agreement; Not Binding Until Executed. This Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule, Exhibits and the other agreements referred to herein, is complete, and all promises, representations, understandings, warranties and agreements with reference to the subject matter hereof, and all inducements to the making of this Agreement relied upon by all the parties hereto, have been expressed herein or in such Disclosure Schedule, Schedules, Exhibits or such other agreements and this Agreement, including such Disclosure Schedule, Schedules, Exhibits and such other agreements attached hereto, supersede any prior understandings, negotiations, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, to the extent they related in any way to the subject matter hereof or thereof. Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms or provisions hereof is binding upon or enforceable against any party hereto unless and until the same is executed and delivered by all of the parties hereto.
17.8 Amendments; No Waiver. This Agreement may be amended at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed by Buyer and the Seller Representative. No course of dealing and no failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such party’s rights, powers and remedies. The failure of any of the parties to this Agreement to require the performance of a term or obligation under this Agreement or the waiver by any of the parties to this Agreement of any breach hereunder shall not prevent subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach hereunder. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
17.9 Disclosure Schedules. Certain information is contained in the Disclosure Schedule solely for informational purposes, may not be required to be disclosed pursuant hereto and will not imply that such information or any other information is required to be disclosed. Inclusion of such information will not establish any level of materiality or similar threshold or be an admission that any of such information is material to the business, assets, Liabilities, financial position, operations or results of operations of any Person or otherwise material regarding such Person. Each matter disclosed in any section of the Disclosure Schedule or set forth herein as an exception to a representation or warranty in a manner that makes its relevance to one or more other sections of the Disclosure Schedule, representations or warranties reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure or exception will be deemed to have been appropriately disclosed against or qualified for in each such other section of the Disclosure Schedule, representation and warranty notwithstanding the presence or absence of any cross-reference in or to any section of the Disclosure Schedule, representation or warranty.
92
17.10 Specific Performance. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the other parties to this Agreement would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees that the other parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and to seek to enforce specifically the performance by such first party under this Agreement, and each party to this Agreement hereby agrees to waive the defense in any such suit that the other parties to this Agreement have an adequate remedy at law and to interpose no opposition, legal or otherwise, as to the propriety of injunction or specific performance as a remedy, and hereby agrees to waive any requirement to post any bond in connection with obtaining such relief. The equitable remedies described in this Section 17.10 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies at law or in equity that the parties to this Agreement may elect to pursue.
17.11 Mutual Drafting. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and have been (or had and voluntarily waived the opportunity to be) represented by their own legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, with the opportunity to seek advice as to their legal rights from such counsel. In the event any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement is to be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof is to arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof.
17.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
17.13 Electronic Transmission. The exchange of signature pages to this Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
17.14 Parent Guarantee. Parent hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to the Sellers the prompt and full payment and performance of all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Buyer or its assignees hereunder, under the Paying Agent Agreement and other agreements or instruments contemplated hereby to which Buyer is a party (the “Other Agreements”). The foregoing guarantee shall be direct, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be impaired irrespective of any assignment, modification, waiver, release, supplement, extension or other change in the terms of all or any of the obligations of the Buyer hereunder or under any of the Other Agreements for any other reason whatsoever. Parent and the Buyer hereby waive any requirement of promptness, diligence or notice with respect to the foregoing guaranty and any requirement that the Sellers exhaust any right or take any action against Parent or the Buyer in respect of any of their obligations hereunder or under any of the Other Agreements or otherwise. The parties hereto agree that any third party beneficiaries to this Agreement and any other parties to the Other Agreements shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of, this Section 17.14.
