WHEREAS, the Xxxxx Seller owns 1,709,984 Series A Preferred Units of the Company and 1,000,000 Class A Voting Common Units of the Company and the Minority Seller owns 400,000 Series A Preferred Units of the Company (collectively, the “Transferred Securities”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, as defined in this Agreement and intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Section 1.1 Closing. On the date of this Agreement (the “Closing Date”), the execution of this Agreement and the closing (the “Closing”) of the Transaction shall take place as of 7:00 p.m. New York City time through the release of signatures pages to this Agreement.

Section 1.2 Closing Actions(a) At the Closing, the following actions shall occur:

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, the Sellers hereby assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall receive from the Sellers, the Sellers’ right, title and interests as of the Closing in and to the Transferred Securities, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions arising under applicable securities Laws or those imposed by Purchaser or its Affiliates). From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be substituted for the Sellers as a member of the Company with respect to the Transferred Securities, and each Seller does hereby withdraw from the Company as a member, ceases to be a member of the Company and ceases to have or exercise any right or power as a member of the Company or in any regard with respect to the Transferred Securities (including any rights or powers associated with such Transferred Securities). The Parties agree that the assignment of the Transferred Securities, the admission of Purchaser as a substitute member, and the cessation of each Seller as a member of the Company shall not dissolve the Company and the business of the Company shall continue.

(b) Cancellation of Class B Units. As of immediately prior to the Closing, subject to consummation of the Transaction, (i) each Class B Unit, whether vested or unvested, shall be automatically canceled in exchange for no consideration, without any action on the part of the holders of such Class B Units, pursuant to Section 7.2(a) of the Equity Incentive Plan, and (ii) the Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Equity Incentive Plan in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 1.3 Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Closing Statement. The Company has delivered to Purchaser a written statement setting forth the Company’s good-faith calculations of Net Working Capital as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on the second day before the Closing Date, together with reasonable supporting calculations and documentation used by the Company in determining the amounts set forth therein, which statement is included in Section 1.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Estimated Closing Statement”).

(b) Post-Closing Statement.

(i) Delivery of the Post-Closing Statement. No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Xxxxx Seller a written statement setting forth Purchaser’s good-faith calculations of Net Working Capital as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on the day before the Closing Date, together with reasonable supporting calculations and documentation used by Purchaser in determining the amounts set forth therein (the “Post-Closing Statement”). The Post-Closing Statement will entirely disregard (x) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Business as a result of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Purchaser or any other transaction entered into by Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the Transaction and (y) any of the plans, transactions or changes which Purchaser intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Business, or any facts or circumstances regarding Purchaser, its Affiliates or any of their other businesses, assets or liabilities.

(ii) Access to Information. From and after delivery of the Post-Closing Statement, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to: (A) upon request, promptly provide the Xxxxx Seller and its Representatives with access during normal business hours to Purchaser’s facilities, books and records and work papers, in each case, to the extent related to the Business, and to any other information reasonably requested for purposes of the Xxxxx Seller’s review and verification of the Post-Closing Statement; (B) preserve and not alter or destroy any of the books and records of the Transferred Companies or to the extent related to the Business, or any other documents on which the calculations set forth in the Post-Closing Statement are based or which may be useful or helpful to the Xxxxx Seller or its Representatives and (C) cooperate with and assist the Xxxxx Seller and its Representatives in connection with the review of such materials, including by making available Purchaser’s and its Subsidiaries’ employees, accountants and other personnel to the extent reasonably requested. Purchaser shall authorize its accountants to disclose work papers generated by such accountants in connection with preparing and reviewing the calculations of Net Working Capital (or any inputs or items establishing the bases for Net Working Capital) as specified in this Section 1.3; provided that such accountants shall not be obligated to make any work papers available except in accordance with such accountants’ disclosure procedures and then only after the non-client party has signed an agreement relating to access to such work papers in form and substance acceptable to such accountants.

(iii) Notice of Objection. If the Xxxxx Seller has any objection to the Post-Closing Statement or any of the amounts included in the calculation of Net Working Capital set forth therein, the Xxxxx Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement, including the specific items in the Post-Closing Statement that are in dispute, and the nature and amount of any disagreement so identified (such written statement, a “Notice of Objection”), not later than sixty (60) days after its receipt of the Post-Closing Statement; provided that (A) such period shall be tolled and extended to account for any material delay or failure by Purchaser to provide reasonable access pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(ii) (which delay or failure must be notified in writing to Purchaser by the Xxxxx Seller promptly upon occurrence thereof) (such 60-day period, as may be extended, the “Review Period”); and (B) any Notice of Objection may reference only disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on the calculation of Net Working Capital and any inputs and items establishing the bases for Net Working Capital as reflected on the Post-Closing Statement not being calculated in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the Xxxxx Seller delivers a Notice of Objection to Purchaser within the Review Period, the Xxxxx Seller and Purchaser shall work in good faith to resolve the Xxxxx Seller’s objections within the 20-day period following the delivery of the Notice of Objection (or such longer period as may be agreed by Purchaser and the Xxxxx Seller). Any disputed items resolved in writing between the Xxxxx Seller and Purchaser within such 20-day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Xxxxx Seller and Purchaser agree in writing on the resolution of each disputed item specified by the Xxxxx Seller in the Notice of Objection and the amount of Net Working Capital, the amount so determined shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. If the Xxxxx Seller fails to deliver a Notice of Objection within the Review Period, the Post-Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Xxxxx Seller and shall be deemed final and binding upon all of the Parties and shall be deemed the Final Closing Statement. Any communications between the Xxxxx Seller and Purchaser (or their respective Representatives) during the Review Period shall be treated as settlement discussion materials pursuant to U.S. Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and similar state rules.

(iv) Selection of the Expert. In the event that the Xxxxx Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve in writing any of the Xxxxx Seller’s objections in the Notice of Objection within the 20-day period (or such longer period as may be agreed by Purchaser and the Xxxxx Seller) after the delivery of such Notice of Objection, the resolution of all of such unresolved objections (“Disputed Items”) shall be submitted to an accounting firm of recognized national standing in the United States (or other nationally recognized financial expert with experience in M&A purchase price disputes) as may be mutually selected by Xxxxxxxxx and the Xxxxx Seller (an “Independent Expert”), which shall resolve such objections and determine Net Working Capital. The Xxxxx Seller and Purchaser shall execute any agreement reasonably required by the Independent Expert for its engagement hereunder.

(v) Submission of Disputed Items. Each of Purchaser and the Xxxxx Seller shall, promptly (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the formal engagement of the Independent Expert, provide the Independent Expert with a single written submission setting forth its respective calculations of and assertions regarding the Disputed Items (which submissions the Independent Expert shall promptly distribute to the other Party) and upon receipt thereof, each of the Xxxxx Seller and Purchaser shall be entitled (no later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the other Party’s initial submission) to submit to the Independent Expert a single written response to such other Party’s initial submission setting forth such Party’s objections or rebuttals to the calculations and/or assertions set forth in such initial submission (which responses the Independent Expert shall promptly distribute to the other applicable Party).

(vi) Independent Expert’s Determination. The Independent Expert shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to the Disputed Items as soon as reasonably possible (which Purchaser and the Xxxxx Seller agree shall not be later than thirty (30) days following the formal engagement of the Independent Expert). The Independent Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to determine solely the Disputed Items based solely on the submissions and responses provided by each of Purchaser and the Xxxxx Seller pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(v), without independent investigation and in accordance with this Agreement. In resolving the Disputed Items, the Independent Expert may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party in the Post-Closing Statement or the Notice of Objection. Furthermore, in its review and calculation of the Disputed Items, such Independent Expert shall be limited to a review of whether the Disputed Items were calculated strictly in accordance with this Section 1.3 (and any related definitions). The determination of the Independent Expert pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(vi) shall be binding and final for purposes of this Agreement, except in the event of manifest error. The Post-Closing Statement resulting from the determinations with respect to the Disputed Items made by the Independent Expert pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(vi) shall be deemed the Final Closing Statement.

(vii) Independent Expert’s Fees and Expenses. The Independent Expert shall allocate its fees and expenses between Purchaser and the Xxxxx Seller based upon the percentage of the contested amount submitted to the Independent Expert that is ultimately awarded to Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Xxxxx Seller, on the other hand, such that Purchaser bears a percentage of such fees and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to the Xxxxx Seller and the Xxxxx Seller bear a percentage of such fees and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each Party incurred in connection with the preparation or review of the Post-Closing Statement and any Notice of Objection as well as any submissions and responses to the Independent Expert, as applicable, shall be borne by such Party.

(c) Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Closing Statement:

(i) if the finally agreed Net Working Capital set forth in the Final Closing Statement is in excess of the Target Working Capital, then Purchaser shall pay or cause the Company to pay to the Xxxxx Seller an amount equal to such difference;

(ii) if the finally agreed Net Working Capital set forth in the Final Closing Statement is less than the Target Working Capital, then the Xxxxx Seller shall pay or cause an Affiliate to pay to Purchaser an amount equal such difference; and

(iii) neither the Xxxxx Seller nor Purchaser shall have any payment obligation pursuant to this Section 1.3(c) if the finally agreed Net Working Capital set forth in the Final Closing Statement equal to the Target Working Capital.

Any payment made pursuant to this Section 1.3(c) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pursuant to the instructions previously delivered by Purchaser or the Xxxxx Seller, as applicable. Any such payment shall, for tax purposes, be deemed to be an adjustment to the consideration paid or payable to the Xxxxx Seller.

(d) Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the process set forth in this Section 1.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties for any disputes related to items required to be included or reflected in the calculation of Net Working Capital.

(a) Purchaser is aware that the Transferred Companies and the Business are covered by group corporate insurance policies taken out by the Xxxxx Seller and its Affiliates (each, a “Group Policy”) and neither the Transferred Companies nor the Business shall be covered by such corporate insurance policies, including claims based and occurrence-based policies, after the Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Xxxxx Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser on any claim for coverage relating to the Business under those Group Policies that are occurrence-based policies with respect to claims arising from events that occurred or were alleged to have occurred prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Occurrences”). The Xxxxx Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of all insurance proceeds in respect of claims made by Purchaser with respect to Pre-Closing Occurrences. Purchaser shall reimburse the Xxxxx Seller and its Affiliates for any costs and expenses (including increased premiums) incurred thereby in connection with any such cooperation or other actions contemplated by this Section 5.8, and Purchaser shall exclusively bear any deductibles, retentions, loss adjustments or uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts relating to or associated with such claims. This Section 5.8 shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance, and nothing in this Section 5.8 is intended to waive or abrogate in any way rights of the Xxxxx Seller or its Affiliates to insurance coverage for any liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.8, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Section 5.8 shall affect Purchaser or its Affiliates’ responsibility for Liabilities of the Transferred Companies regardless of whether there is any insurance coverage available or not.

Section 5.9 Director and Officer Indemnification.

(a) From the Closing Date through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser, and any successor to Purchaser, shall cause the Transferred Companies to honor and perform all indemnification and exculpation obligations (including fee advancement) owed to any individual who was a director or officer of any Transferred Company at or prior to the Closing Date (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of such obligations, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law.

(b) For not less than six (6) years from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of the Transferred Companies to, amend, repeal or otherwise modify the organizational documents of the Transferred Companies with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses of the D&O Indemnified Parties for periods prior to the Closing Date in any manner less favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties than as is currently set forth in any organizational documents of the Transferred Companies.

(c) This Section 5.9 shall be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the D&O Indemnified Parties, or any of them, and their respective heirs or estates. Purchaser shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by any D&O Indemnified Party in enforcing its indemnification and other rights under this Section 5.9.

Section 5.10 Business Customers. For not less than one (1) year from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to support existing customers of the Transferred Companies in a manner that is consistent with past practice of the Business, including but not limited to by continuing to deliver data in the format and manner in which customers are accustomed to receiving it, subject to any changes in the format or method of delivery as may be required as a result of events affecting Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ ability to conduct the Business consistent with past practice.

Section 5.11 Data Room. Within ten (10) days after the Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser an electronic copy of the Data Room or a link to download materials contained therein, including unredacted versions of all documents contained therein.

(a) Purchaser shall promptly provide written notice to Xxxxx Seller upon receipt of any notice from a Taxing Authority of a Tax audit, Tax dispute, or other Tax proceeding with respect to the Transferred Companies for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period (a “Covered Tax Proceeding”), provided, however, that the failure of Purchaser to give such notice shall not relieve Sellers of any of their obligations under Article VIII, except and only to the extent that the Sellers are actually prejudiced by reason of such failure.

(b) In the case of a Covered Tax Proceeding that relates solely to a Tax period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Seller Tax Proceeding”), Xxxxx Seller shall control, at Sellers’ expense, the contest or resolution of such Seller Tax Proceeding, provided that no later than 10 days after receipt by Sellers of the notification of the Seller Tax Proceeding, Xxxxx Seller has notified Purchaser in writing that Xxxxx Seller will assume the defense.

(c) Purchaser shall control, at its expense, any Covered Tax Proceeding for a Straddle Period (a “Purchaser Tax Proceeding”); provided, that Purchaser shall (A) keep Xxxxx Seller reasonably informed with respect to the status of such Purchaser Tax Proceeding, including by giving Xxxxx Seller advance notice of, and opportunity to attend, any material in-person or telephonic meetings, (B) provide copies to Xxxxx Seller of any material written correspondence or other material submissions by Purchaser with respect to such Purchaser Tax Proceeding for Xxxxx Seller’s review and reasonable comment, which Purchaser shall consider in good faith and (C) provide to Xxxxx Seller (at Sellers’ expense) reasonable participation rights with respect to any such Purchaser Tax Proceeding; provided, further, that Purchaser will not enter into any settlement of, or otherwise compromise, any Purchaser Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Xxxxx Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(d) If a Taxing Authority issues an “imputed underpayment” (as defined in Section 6225 of the Code) assessment (or similar assessment under state, local, and non-U.S. Law) against the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, the Company, at Purchaser’s written request, shall, at the option of Xxxxx Seller, (x) cause Sellers to take such assessment directly into account in accordance with Section 6241(7) of the Code (or any similar provision under federal, state, local or non-U.S. Law), (y) make a “push out” election under Section 6226 of the Code (or any corresponding election under state, local and non-U.S. Law) with respect to such imputed underpayment or (z) make an election under Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code (or any similar election under federal state, local or non-U.S. Law) with respect to such imputed underpayment; provided that in no event shall Sellers be required to (or be required to permit the Company to) amend any Tax Return pursuant to this Section 7.3(d) unless such amendment is necessary to effect the option selected by Xxxxx Xxxxxx. Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and the Company with respect to, and to take such actions as are necessary to implement, any of the foregoing.

(e) In the event of a conflict between (i) this Section 7.3 and (ii) Section 8.4 or Section 8.5, this Section 7.3 shall control.

Section 7.4 Cooperation. Subject to Section 5.1, the Parties agree to cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit or other action with respect to Taxes contemplated by this Article VII. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to the preparation of such Tax Return or the conduct of any such audit or other action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

Section 7.5 Intended Tax Treatment.

(a) The Parties agree, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, to treat the Transaction in accordance with Rev. Rul. 99-6, 1991-1 CB 432 (Situation 2), pursuant to which: (A) each Seller is treated as having sold 100% of their respective Transferred Securities to Purchaser in a transaction governed by Section 741 of the Code; and (B) Purchaser is treated as having purchased, from each Seller, such Seller’s allocable share of 100% of the assets of the Company (with such purchased assets being treated as having been distributed, immediately prior to such purchases by Purchaser, to each such Seller in liquidation of 100% of such Seller’s Transferred Securities) (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Parties shall take no position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with the tax treatments described in this Section 7.5 unless required pursuant to a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a)(1) of the Code.

(b) Purchaser shall prepare and deliver a draft of an allocation of amounts properly treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purpose with respect to the Company (the “Allocation Schedule”) among the assets of the Company to Xxxxx Seller no later than 90 days after the determination of the Final Closing Statement. The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Purchaser in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (and any other applicable Tax Law). Xxxxx Seller shall have 20 days after receipt of such Allocation Schedule to notify Purchaser in writing that Xxxxx Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule; provided, that if Xxxxx Seller does not provide such notice within such time period, then Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted Purchaser’s draft Allocation Schedule. If Xxxxx Seller provides such notice within such time period, then Purchaser and Xxxxx Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If, within 30 days, Purchaser and Xxxxx Seller are unable to resolve such dispute, Purchaser and Xxxxx Seller shall refer the matter to the Independent Expert. The fees and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers on the other hand, in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 1.3(b)(vii) and the Independent Expert’s determination of the allocation shall be binding on Purchaser and Sellers for all Tax purposes (including with respect to the preparation of any Tax Returns of the Transferred Companies pursuant to Section 7.2).

Section 7.6 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and paid 50% by the Sellers and 50% by Purchaser when due. The Party required by applicable Law shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and the other Parties shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary). The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes as permitted by applicable Law.

Section 7.7 Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Transferred Company shall have been terminated as of the Closing Date (other than any customary commercial contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business the principal subject of which is not Taxes or agreements solely between or among the Transferred Companies). After such date, none of the Transferred Companies or Sellers shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

Section 7.8 Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:

(a) in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date, provided, however, that exemptions, allowances and depreciation deductions calculated on an annual basis shall be apportioned between the pre-Closing and post-Closing portions of such Straddle Period on a daily basis; and

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

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Survival. None of the representations and warranties of the Parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive Closing, such that no Party will have any liability with respect thereto (including in connection with any breach or inaccuracy thereof) and no claim for breach, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort, at law, in equity or otherwise) may be brought with respect thereto against any Party, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary; provided that the Seller Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. All covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein shall survive the Closing for twelve (12) months or for any shorter or longer period explicitly specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1 to the contrary, claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii) and Section 8.2(b)(i) shall survive through the lesser of (i) the applicable statute of limitations and (ii) seven years following the Closing.

Section 8.2 Indemnification by Sellers.

(a) Subject to the terms hereof, each Seller will, severally and not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser Indemnified Parties from, against, and in respect of, any and all Losses arising out of or relating to:

(i) any breach or inaccuracy of a Seller Fundamental Representation by such Seller;

(ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by such Seller in this Agreement (other than any covenant, agreement or undertaking in respect of Taxes, the subject of which is set forth in Section 8.2(a)(iii) and Section 8.2(b)(i)); and

(iii) any Taxes of such Seller for any Tax period.

(b) Subject to the terms hereof, the Xxxxx Seller will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser Indemnified Parties from, against, and in respect of, any and all Losses arising out of or relating to:

(i) all Pre-Closing Taxes, except to the extent such Taxes were reflected as a current liability on the Final Closing Statement;

(ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Transferred Company (or any predecessor of the Transferred Company) is or was a member (other than another Transferred Company) on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Law;

(iii) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than a Transferred Company) imposed on the Transferred Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by Contract or operation of Law, arising from or relating to transactions or other events which occurred on or prior to the Closing and (iii) Sellers’ share of any Transfer Taxes under Section 7.6.

In no event shall each Seller’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to Section 8.2(a)(i) and Section 8.2(a)(ii) exceed its pro rata portion (according to the percentage of the Equity Securities of the Company it owns) of $250,000 (the “Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Cap shall not apply to Section 8.2(a)(iii) and Section 8.2(b). Further, for the avoidance of doubt, the Xxxxx Seller shall not be responsible for any breach by the Minority Seller of the Seller Fundamental Representations or covenants made by the Minority Seller hereunder and the Minority Seller shall not be responsible for any breach by the Xxxxx Seller of the Seller Fundamental Representations or covenants made by the Xxxxx Seller hereunder.

Section 8.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the terms hereof, Purchaser will, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller Indemnified Parties from, against, and in respect of, any and all Losses arising out of or relating to:

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of Purchaser Fundamental Representation; and

(b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by Purchaser in this Agreement.

In no event shall Purchaser’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to Section 8.3 exceed the Cap.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party it actually prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.4(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable (subject to the Cap) for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.4(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim (in each case subject to the Cap). Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses subject to the Cap) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.4(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.4(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 8%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 8.6 Exclusive Remedies. The parties acknowledge and agree that from and after Closing their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII, in each case other than in the event of Fraud by a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in which case the other parties may pursue claims for Fraud only against the party that has committed such Fraud and not any other party. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, from and after Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.6 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy against a party that has committed Fraud.

Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Companies following the Closing) agrees that, following the Closing, Prior Company Counsel may serve as counsel to any Designated Person in connection with any matters related to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Transaction, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Transaction notwithstanding any representation by Prior Company Counsel prior to the Closing, and Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Transferred Companies following the Closing), hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser or the Transferred Companies, on the one hand, and any Designated Person, on the other hand, Prior Company Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Purchaser or the Transferred Companies and even though Prior Company Counsel may have represented the Transferred Companies in a matter substantially related to such dispute.

Section 9.12 Non-Assertion of Attorney-Client Privilege. Purchaser hereby waives, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Companies following the Closing) to waive, and shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Transferred Companies following the Closing) not to, assert any attorney-client privilege with respect to any attorney-client communication between any Prior Company Counsel and any Designated Person providing advice with respect to the Current Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute between any Designated Person and one or more of Purchaser, the Transferred Companies and their respective Affiliates, it being the intention of the Parties that all rights to such attorney-client privilege and to control such attorney-client privilege shall be retained by the Sellers. Furthermore, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any advice given to or communication with any of the Designated Persons with respect to the Current Representation shall not be subject to any joint privilege and shall be owned solely by the Sellers. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, the portion of the books and records of the Transferred Companies containing any such privileged communications shall be excluded from the Transactions, and the Sellers may, at their own expense, conduct a search and segregate and remove such privileged communications from the books and records of the Transferred Companies immediately prior to the Closing with no copies retained by the Transferred Companies. If any such privileged communications are thereafter discovered in the books and records of the Transferred Companies, they shall be promptly tendered the Sellers, without retaining copies, and Purchaser agrees (including on behalf of its Affiliates) that any applicable attorney-client privilege shall remain intact notwithstanding. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it has had the opportunity (including on behalf of its Affiliates) to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Section 9.12, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Prior Company Counsel.
