The calculations listed in the foregoing Sections 2.9(a) through 2.9(f) shall be set forth on a spreadsheet referred to herein as the “Allocation Schedule”. The Parties agree that Buyer and the Company will have the right to rely on the Allocation Schedule as setting forth a true, complete and accurate listing of all amounts due to be paid by Buyer to the Holders in exchange for Company Capital Stock and Company Options. Neither Buyer nor the Company will have any liability with respect to the allocation of any shares of Buyer’s Common Stock or cash made to the Holders in accordance with the Allocation Schedule. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Estimated Balance Sheet and the Company’s estimation of the Closing Net Working Capital shall be consistent with the Accounting Methodology and shall reflect all vacation, sick leave, severance and/or other remuneration required by Law, Contract or policy of the Company to be paid to Employees for periods on or prior to the Closing.

2.10 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) Buyer shall be under no obligation to make the payments or issue the shares described in Section 2.1(b) to any Seller until such Seller has delivered to Buyer a Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) or a Form W-8, as applicable, executed by such Seller, and (b) the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from that portion of any payments contemplated by this Article II or any other amount payable to a Holder pursuant to this Agreement, and shall pay to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payments under any Tax Law. To the extent amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made.

2.11 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Preparation of Closing Statement. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative a statement as of the Closing (the “Final Calculation”) setting forth its calculation of each of the following:

(i) the Closing Cash;

(ii) the Closing Net Working Capital;

(iii) the Company Transaction and Bonus Expenses;

(iv) the Company Debt; and

(v) the resulting Final Purchase Price.

The Final Calculation shall be accompanied by such supporting documentation reasonably necessary to derive and support the numbers set forth therein. The Final Calculation shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties unless Sellers’ Representative delivers a written notice to Buyer of any objection to the Final Calculation (the “Objection Notice”) within thirty (30) days (the “Objection Period”) after delivery of the Final Calculation. Any Objection Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (x) any item on the Final Calculation that Sellers’ Representative believes has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and the correct amount of such item and (y) Sellers’ Representative’s alternative calculation of the Closing Cash, the Closing Net Working Capital, the Company Transaction and Bonus Expenses or Company Debt, as the case may be. Any Objection Notice must specify, with reasonable particularity, all facts that form the basis of such disagreements. If Sellers’ Representative gives any such Objection Notice within the Objection Period, then Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute concerning the item(s) subject to such Objection Notice. If Sellers’ Representative and Buyer do not resolve the issues raised in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) days of the date of delivery of such notice (the “Initial Resolution Period”), such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11(b). Any item or amount which has not been disputed in the Objection Notice shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties on the expiration of the Initial Resolution Period.

(b) Resolution of Disputes. If Buyer and Sellers’ Representative have not been able to resolve a dispute within the Initial Resolution Period, either Party may submit such dispute to and such dispute shall be resolved fully, finally and exclusively through the use of an independent international accounting firm selected to serve as such by mutual agreement of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative (such accounting firm, the “Reviewing Party”). The fees and expenses of the Reviewing Party incurred in the resolution of such dispute shall be borne by the parties in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Holders and Buyer from the resolution of the dispute. For example, if Sellers’ Representative challenges the calculation in the Final Calculation by an amount of $100,000, but the Reviewing Party determines that Sellers’ Representative has a valid claim for only $40,000, Buyer shall bear 40% of the fees and expenses of the Reviewing Party and Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Holders shall bear the other 60% of such fees and expenses. The Reviewing Party shall determine (with written notice thereof to Sellers’ Representative and Buyer) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days following the date on which Final Calculation and written submissions detailing the disputed items are delivered to the Reviewing Party (i) whether the Final Calculation was prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or, alternatively, (ii) only with respect to the disputed items submitted to the Reviewing Party, whether and to what extent (if any) the Final Calculation requires adjustment and a written explanation in reasonable detail of each such required adjustment, including the basis therefor. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall require the Reviewing Party to enter into a confidentiality agreement on terms agreeable to Buyer, Sellers’ Representative and the Reviewing Party. The procedures of this Section 2.11(b) are exclusive and the determination of the Reviewing Party shall be final and binding on the Parties. The decision rendered pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) may be filed as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) The “Post-Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Final Purchase Price less the Upfront Purchase Price and, for the avoidance of doubt, may be a positive or a negative number.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.2(a)(i) (except to the extent of any double counting that would otherwise result), if the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount shall be reduced by the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment (i.e., offsetting the Post-Closing Adjustment against the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount).

(iii) If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Buyer shall deliver to each Holder an amount of cash as provided in Sections 2.1(b)(iii) or 2.2(a)(ii), as applicable.

(d) No Effect on Representations and Warranties. The provisions of this Section 2.11, as well as any adjustment to the Final Purchase Price as a result of any of the Closing Cash, the Closing Net Working Capital, the Company Transaction and Bonus Expenses and the Company Debt, shall not diminish or otherwise affect the right or ability of Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Person to rely upon the provisions of this Agreement and any certificate or document delivered in connection herewith, including the representations of the Sellers set forth in Article III and Article IV.

2.12 Indemnification Hold-Back Amount and Payment. On the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (such date, the “Indemnification Hold-Back Payment Date”), Buyer shall deliver (i) to the Company Optionholders (or to the Company for any payments for Vested Company Options held by Employees to be paid in accordance with Section 2.2), the amount of cash payable pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(iii) (reflecting any reductions to the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount made in accordance with Section 2.11(c)(ii) or Article IX) and (ii) to the Sellers, certificates or book entries reflecting the Buyer’s shares to be distributed pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iv) (reflecting any reductions to the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount made in accordance with Section 2.11(c)(ii) or Article IX); provided, however, that if, when any amount would otherwise be distributed pursuant to this Section 2.12, there shall exist a good faith claim by Buyer to exercise the Offset Right, all or a portion of such amount as determined by Buyer (in its reasonable discretion, but subject to the limitations set forth in Article IX) to represent the Losses at issue (including, if applicable, as to any specific Holder) shall be withheld from payment until such time as the claim has been perfected, in which case the Offset Right shall apply (subject to the limitations set forth in Article IX) against such portion of the amount at issue and the balance of any withheld portion (if applicable) shall be distributed to the Holders (or, as applicable, to the affected Holders) (or to the Company for any payments for Vested Company Options held by Employees to be paid in accordance with Section 2.2) as contemplated by this Agreement.

2.13 Milestones.

(a) Determining Achievement of Milestones. Buyer shall exercise reasonable, good faith efforts to assess on a regular basis whether Milestones have been achieved, and in any event Buyer shall assess such achievement no less frequently than each regularly scheduled meeting of Buyer’s Board of Directors. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any Milestones which have not been achieved on or before the first regularly scheduled meeting of Buyer’s Board of Directors following the date which is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing (such period following the Closing until the date of such meeting of Buyer’s Board of Directors, the “Milestone Period”) shall no longer be eligible for achievement for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Resource Allocation. During the Milestone Period, Buyer shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) exercise commercially reasonable efforts to allocate resources as set forth on Schedule 2.13(b) (the “Allocated Resources”) to activities which support or that are otherwise directed toward achievement of the Milestones, it being understood that “commercially reasonable efforts” for purposes of this Section 2.13(b) shall mean the level of efforts typically devoted by similarly situated companies in Buyer’s industry to develop and commercialize products and services of similar market potential, project potential or strategic value, based on conditions then prevailing.

(c) Rights Upon Sale. In the event of (i) the consummation of a merger of Buyer or a subsidiary of Buyer with or into another entity if Persons who were not stockholders of Buyer immediately prior to such merger own immediately after such merger 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding securities of each of Buyer (or its successor) and any direct or indirect parent corporation of Buyer (or its successor), (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of Buyer’s assets, (iii) Buyer directly or indirectly ceases the development and/or commercialization of the Company Platform, or (iv) Buyer directly or indirectly sells or otherwise transfers (including by way of exclusive license) the Company Platform to any Person that is not an Affiliate, in each case during the Milestone Period, the Milestone Date for any Milestone that has not yet been achieved shall be the date of the consummation of the merger, sale, transfer or other disposition at issue and in the case of an event described in subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.13(c) the value of any shares of Buyer’s Common Stock distributable pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(v) shall be paid in cash (based on the Per Share Milestone Amount(s) for the applicable Milestone(s)).

(d) Dispute Resolution. If Sellers’ Representative shall dispute any non-determination by Buyer as to the achievement of any Milestone, then Sellers’ Representative may invoke the following technical determination process by providing written notice thereof to Buyer. Within fifteen (15) days of such notice, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall jointly select one unaffiliated, independent academic in the field of genetics to act as expert (the “Expert”); provided, however, that any Expert shall be required to execute a non-disclosure agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. Buyer shall provide the Expert with all necessary data, results and financial projections within thirty (30) days after the Expert is selected, and the Expert shall resolve any dispute described in the first sentence of this Section 2.13(d) by evaluating such information and, as applicable, engaging in discussions with Buyer’s employees with substantive knowledge of the underlying matters. The fees of the Expert shall be paid at Buyer’s and Sellers’ Representative’s (on behalf of the Holders) joint expense (50:50), except that Buyer shall reimburse Sellers’ Representative for its share of such fees if the Expert’s determination reverses Buyer’s position and Sellers’ Representative shall reimburse Buyer for its share of such fees if the Expert’s determination upholds Buyer’s position. The hearing shall be held within sixty (60) days of the Expert being selected, and the Expert shall be requested to reach a final determination within ten (10) days after the hearing. The Expert’s determination shall be binding for purposes of this Agreement.

As of their respective dates, each of the Buyer’s SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and none of the Buyer’s SEC Documents, as of their respective dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(a) Access. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the Sellers shall, and shall cause the Company to, afford to Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives, from time to time prior to the earlier of (i) the Closing or (ii) the termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, access during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to (x) all of the Company’s Premises, books, reports, Contracts, assets, filings with and applications to Governmental Authorities, records and correspondence (in each case, whether in physical or electronic form) and (y) to the Representatives of the Company as Buyer may reasonably request and the Company shall furnish promptly to Buyer all information and documents concerning its business, financial condition and operations, properties and personnel related to the consummation of the Transactions or the ownership or operation of the Company’s business as Buyer may reasonably request and Buyer shall be allowed to make copies of such information and documents.

6.6 Confidentiality. The Sellers acknowledge that the success of the Company after the Closing Date depends upon the preservation of the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined), that the preservation of the confidentiality of the Confidential Information is an essential premise of the bargain between the Parties and Buyer would be unwilling to enter into this Agreement in the absence of this Section 6.6. Accordingly, the Sellers, shall, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their Affiliates and their respective Representatives to, keep confidential all confidential documents and information involving or relating to the Company or its business (the “Confidential Information”), unless (a) compelled to disclose such Confidential Information by Law so long as, to the extent permitted by Law, reasonable prior notice of such disclosure is given to Buyer and the Company and a reasonable opportunity is afforded Buyer and the Company to contest the same or (b) disclosed in an Action brought by a Party in pursuit of its rights or in the exercise of its remedies hereunder; provided, that, in each case, any party to this Agreement shall be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement (including the Base Purchase Price or the Total Purchase Price) to its Affiliates and its and their respective managers, partners, stockholders, equityholders, attorneys, accountants, tax advisors, financial advisors, consultants, agents, employees, potential financing sources or investors or other representatives (so long as such Person is directed to maintain the confidentiality of such information). “Confidential Information” does not include any document or information which is as of the Closing Date or becomes following the Closing Date generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this Section 6.6 by the receiving party or its Representatives. The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive for three (3) years following the Closing Date; provided, however, that, with respect to trade secrets of the Company existing as of the Agreement Date, the provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive until entry of such trade secrets into the public domain through no fault of any Seller.

Buyer shall permit Sellers’ Representative a reasonable period of time to review and comment, prior to filing, on each Tax Return for a Straddle Period or that is described in clause (y) of the first sentence of this Section 6.8(b)(i). With respect to each Tax Return for a Straddle Period, Buyer shall consider in good faith any changes to such Tax Returns that are reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative with respect to Taxes for which the Sellers would bear liability pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to any Tax Return described in clause (y) of the first sentence of this Section 6.8(b)(i), Buyer shall incorporate Sellers’ Representative’s comments with respect to such Tax Return (unless unreasonable) with respect to Taxes for which the Sellers would bear liability.

(c) Tax Contests.

(i) After the Closing, each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, shall promptly notify the other Party in writing upon receipt from a Taxing Authority of any written notice of any pending or threatened audit, examination, claim, dispute or controversy relating to Taxes (a “Tax Claim”) with respect to the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Losses for which such other Party (or any of its Affiliates) could be liable pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(ii) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to Taxes or Tax Returns within the scope of Section 6.8(a), the Sellers may elect, through Sellers’ Representative, solely at the Sellers’ own cost and expense, to control all proceedings in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel); provided, however, that (x) Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) shall keep Buyer informed of all material developments regarding such Tax Claim and shall not settle such Tax Claim without the written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (y) Buyer and its counsel (at Buyer’s expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Tax Claim.

(iii) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to Taxes or Tax Returns within the scope of Section 6.8(b)(i), or within the scope of Section 6.8(a) which Sellers’ Representative does not elect to control pursuant to Section 6.8(c)(ii), Buyer shall, solely at Buyer’s own cost and expense, control all proceedings in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel); provided, however, that to the extent that any such Tax Claim could reasonably be expected to result in the Sellers being liable for any amounts hereunder, (x) Buyer shall keep Sellers’ Representative informed of all material developments regarding such Tax Claim, (y) Sellers’ Representative and its counsel (at the Sellers’ expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Tax Claim, and (z) Buyer shall not settle such Tax Claim without the written consent of Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(iv) Any dispute, controversy or claim between Buyer and Sellers’ Representative with respect to the defense of any Tax Claim, as described in this Section 6.8(c)(iv), shall be resolved pursuant to Section 6.8(i).

(d) Certification. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative agree, upon request from the other Party, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Taxing Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the contemplated Transactions).

(e) Tax Sharing Agreements. The Sellers shall cause the Company to terminate all Tax Sharing Agreements with respect to the Company as of the Closing Date and shall ensure that such agreements are of no further force or effect on and after the Closing Date and that there shall be no further liabilities or obligations imposed on any of the Company under any such agreements.

(f) Cooperation. Following the Closing Date, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall, as reasonably requested by any Party: (i) assist any other Party in preparing and filing any Tax Returns relating to the Company that such other Party is responsible for preparing and filing; (ii) cooperate in preparing for any Tax audit of, or dispute with any Taxing Authority regarding and any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to, liability for Taxes, in the preparation or conduct of litigation or investigation of claims and in connection with the preparation of financial statements or other documents to be filed with any Taxing Authority, in each case with respect to the Company; (iii) make available to the other Parties and to any Taxing Authority as reasonably requested all information, records and documents relating to Taxes relating to the Company (at the cost and expense of the requesting Party); (iv) provide timely notice to the other Parties in writing of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to the Company for taxable periods for which any such other Party is responsible; and (v) furnish the other Parties with copies of all correspondence received from any Taxing Authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any taxable periods (or portion thereof) for which any such other Party is responsible. For the avoidance of doubt, the cooperation noted in this Section 6.8(f) shall include signing any Tax Returns, amended Tax Returns, claims or other documents with respect to any audit, litigation or other proceedings with respect to Taxes, the retention and (upon the other Party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(g) Amended Tax Returns. Buyer shall not cause or permit the Company or any Affiliate of Buyer to file inconsistent with past practice or amend any Tax Return of or with respect to the Company that relates to Taxes that are subject to indemnification by the Sellers and shall not file any Tax election with respect to the Company with effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any election under Section 338 or 336 of the Code) hereunder without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that no such consent shall be required for the filing of any Tax Return or an amendment of any Tax Return of the Company that is required by applicable Tax Law. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an election under Section 338 or 336 of the Code be made with respect to the Transactions.

(h) Transfer Taxes. The Sellers shall be solely liable for any real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed as a result of or in connection with the Transactions (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties or interest with respect to the Transfer Taxes. The Parties shall cooperate in filing all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to the Transfer Taxes.

(i) Dispute Resolution for Taxes. With respect to any dispute, controversy or claim relating to Taxes between Buyer and the Sellers (for any Tax for which an indemnity claim may exist under this Agreement), Buyer and the Sellers shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute, controversy or claim between them for a period of thirty (30) days from the date written notice of such dispute, controversy or claim is received by Buyer or Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be; but if the applicable Parties are unable to resolve such dispute, controversy or claim, the Parties shall submit the dispute, controversy or claim for resolution, which resolution shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, to a mutually agreed upon national accounting firm or a mutually agreed upon tax lawyer who is a partner in a law firm, that, in each case, is: (i) familiar with transactions or operations of the sort at issue; and (ii) independent with respect to each Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the fees and expenses of the mutually agreed upon firm or person, as described in the preceding sentence, relating to any dispute as to the amount of Taxes owed shall be paid by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, in proportion to each Party’s respective liability for the portion of Taxes in dispute, as determined by such mutually agreed upon firm or person.

(j) Tax Treatment. Buyer, Merger Sub and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Stock Purchase and the Merger, considered together as a single integrated transaction for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, to qualify, and agree not to, and not to permit or cause any Affiliate or any Subsidiary to, take any actions or cause any action to be taken which would reasonably be expected to prevent the Stock Purchase and the Merger, considered together as a single integrated transaction for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, from qualifying, as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.

(k) This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). Buyer, Merger Sub and the Company shall treat and shall not take any tax reporting position inconsistent with the treatment of the Stock Purchase and the Merger, considered together as a single integrated transaction for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal, state and other relevant Tax purposes, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(iii) Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Article IX, from and after the Agreement Date, each Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnified Person from and against any Loss which such Buyer Indemnified Person may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of or based upon or arising out of (and whether or not involving a Third Party Claim):

(iv) If any Indemnifying Party makes any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article IX or otherwise by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby under any theory of recovery, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to any rights and remedies of the Indemnified Person to recoup such amounts from third parties with respect to the matters giving rise to indemnification hereunder.

(v) The maximum amount of Losses for which a Seller or Participating Optionholder shall be liable pursuant to this Agreement shall be the amount of the Total Purchase Price actually received by such Seller or Participating Optionholder (with shares of Buyer’s Common Stock deemed, for this purpose, to have a value (x) for the Upfront Stock Consideration Shares equal to the Trailing Average Share Price calculated as of the Determination Date, (y) for the shares of Buyer’s Common Stock issuable on the Indemnification Hold-Back Payment Date as contemplated by Section 2.1(b)(iv) equal to the Trailing Average Share Price calculated as of the Determination Date and (z) for any shares of Buyer’s Common Stock issued upon a Milestone Date the Trailing Average Share Price calculated as of such Milestone Date); provided, however, that such limit shall not apply to any Seller or Participating Optionholder in the instance of any intentional fraud or willful misconduct of such Seller or Participating Optionholder or any Person affiliated with any Seller or Participating Optionholder who has served as an officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company.

(c) Calculation of Losses. Solely for the purposes of calculating the amount of Losses pursuant to this Article IX (and not for determining the existence of a breach of any representation or warranty), the representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Company in this Agreement that are qualified by materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect shall be deemed to be made without such materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect qualifiers; provided, however, that this Section 9.2(c) shall not apply to the term “Material Contract.”

9.3 Offset Right.

(a) Offset Right. Without limiting any other remedies of the Buyer Indemnified Persons, from and after the Closing Date, and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, the Buyer Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to recover (the “Offset Right”), first against the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount (to the extent any amount remains at the time the Buyer Indemnified Persons seek to exercise the Offset Right), and second against the shares of Buyer’s Common Stock issuable and cash payable upon achievement of the Milestones pursuant to Sections 2.1(b)(v) and 2.2(a)(iv), respectively, the amount of any Losses as to which the Holders are obligated to indemnify and hold the Buyer Indemnified Persons harmless from under Section 9.2(a).

(b) Exercise of Offset Right. To exercise the Offset Right, Buyer shall (on behalf of Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Persons at issue), prior to the Indemnification Hold-Back Payment Date (in order to exercise the Offset Right with respect to the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount) or, as to any shares of Buyer’s Common Stock or cash at issue, the date on which such shares of Buyer’s Common Stock become issuable or such cash becomes payable pursuant to Sections 2.1(b)(v) and 2.2(a)(iv), respectively (in order to exercise the Offset Right with respect to such shares issuable or such cash payable upon achievement of the Milestone at issue), deliver to Sellers’ Representative at the notice address set forth in Section 10.2 (as the same may be amended from time to time as provided therein and including all Persons to be copied on any notice to Sellers’ Representative), a certificate signed by Buyer (an “Offset Certificate”): (i) stating in good faith that one or more of the Buyer Indemnified Persons has suffered, sustained or become subject to Losses which are entitled to be recovered pursuant to the Offset Right (the “Stated Damages”); and (ii) specifying to the extent practicable in reasonable detail the individual items of Stated Damages and the nature of the breach or other circumstance to which each such item is related. Upon the timely delivery of an Offset Certificate stating a bona fide claim for Stated Damages, any distribution of the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount and, as applicable, any issuance of shares of Buyer’s Common Stock or payment of cash pursuant to Sections 2.1(b)(iv), 2.1(b)(v), 2.2(a)(iii) and 2.2(a)(iv), as applicable, shall be stayed to the extent of the Stated Damages (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX).

(c) Perfection of Offset Right. After the expiration of a period of thirty (30) days following the time of delivery of an Offset Certificate to Sellers’ Representative, the Offset Right shall be deemed perfected as to the applicable Stated Damages and the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount and, as applicable, the number shares of Buyer’s Common Stock issuable or cash payable pursuant to Sections 2.1(b)(iv), 2.1(b)(v), 2.2(a)(iii) and 2.2(a)(iv), as applicable, shall be reduced by an equal amount unless, prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Sellers’ Representative objects in a written statement delivered to Buyer to the claims made in the Offset Certificate, setting forth in reasonable detail the objections to the claim for Stated Damages.

(d) Objection to Offset Right. If Sellers’ Representative shall timely object in writing to an exercise of the Offset Right by Buyer, Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims within thirty (30) days after such objection. If Sellers’ Representative and Buyer should so agree on a claim, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by such Parties, which shall include a statement of the amount of resulting reduction in the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount and, as applicable, the number of shares of Buyer’s Common Stock issuable and cash payable pursuant to Sections 2.1(b)(iv), 2.1(b)(v), 2.2(a)(iii) and 2.2(a)(iv), as applicable.

(e) Settlement of Offset Right. If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation between Sellers’ Representative and Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3(d), either Buyer or Sellers’ Representative may initiate an Action in accordance with Sections 10.14 and 10.15 to resolve such dispute. The decision of any such court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Offset Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties.

(f) Application of Offset Right.  Any reduction in the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount and, as applicable, the number of shares of Buyer’s Common Stock issuable and cash payable pursuant to Sections 2.1(b)(iv), 2.1(b)(v), 2.2(a)(iii) and 2.2(a)(iv), as applicable, pursuant to the Offset Right in this Section 9.3 shall be made with equal priority among the Holders and in accordance with each Holder’s Pro Rata Share (but taking into account any non pro rata claims made in respect of any specific Holder pursuant to Section 9.2(a), including pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iii)).

9.4 Claims for Indemnification; Resolution of Conflicts.

(a) Third-Party Claims.

(i) In the event that any Action is instituted, or that any Third Party Claim is asserted, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification for any related Loss (including a Buyer Indemnified Person seeking indemnification for any related loss through an Offset Right) shall notify the Indemnifying Party of any such Action or claim promptly after receiving notice thereof (each, a “Third Party Indemnification Claim Notice”); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Person in giving any such notice shall relieve an Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligations unless, and only to the extent that, such Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such delay and then only to the extent of such prejudice. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.4(a)(i), and assuming the Indemnified Person does not have the right to elect or does not choose to elect in its Third Party Indemnification Claim Notice to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.4(a)(v), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled at its own expense to conduct and control the defense of such Third Party Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Person through counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person if the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Person in writing within thirty (30) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) of its intent to do so and confirms that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Person against all resulting Losses in accordance with (and subject to the limitations of) this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect within thirty (30) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may defend such Third Party Claim as described below in Section 9.4(a)(v).

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any Third Party Claim:

(A) the Indemnifying Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend such Third Party Claim;

(B) the Indemnified Person, prior to the period in which the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such matter, may take such reasonable actions to preserve any and all rights with respect to such matter, without such actions being construed as a waiver of the Indemnified Person’s rights to defense and indemnification pursuant to this Agreement and without such actions being determinative of the amount of any indemnifiable Losses, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action is actually and materially prejudiced by such actions; and

(C) the Indemnified Person may participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with separate counsel at its own expense or, if so requested by the Indemnifying Party or, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Person, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable, at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party.

(iii) In connection with this Section 9.4(a)(iii), the Parties agree to:

(A) cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim;

(B) make available witnesses in a timely manner to provide testimony through declarations, affidavits, depositions, or at hearing or trial and to work with each other in preparation for such events consistent with deadlines dictated by the particular Third Party Claim;

(C) preserve all documents and things required by litigation hold orders pending with respect to particular Third Party Claims; and

(D) provide such documents and things to each other, consistent with deadlines dictated by a particular matter, as required by legal procedure or court order, or if reasonably requested by another Party hereto;

provided that such cooperation referenced in clauses (A) through (D) shall not be required if it would reasonably be expected to result in a waiver of any attorney-client, work product or other privilege, and provided further that the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with Law), and to cause all communications among Employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

(iv) Except as permitted in this Section 9.4(a)(iv), the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person(s) (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment (each a “Settlement”); provided, however, that an Indemnified Person’s written consent shall not be required if (x) the claimant provides such Indemnified Person an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim, (y) such Settlement does not impose any additional liabilities or obligations on the Indemnified Person and (z) with respect to any non-monetary provision of such Settlement, such provisions could not have, or be reasonably expected to have, any adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or results of operations of the Indemnified Person and its Subsidiaries, if any. Any Settlement or compromise that does not comply with the preceding sentence shall not be determinative of the amount of Losses with respect to any related claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX. The costs incurred by Sellers’ Representative pursuant to participating in the defense of any Third Party Claims shall constitute Sellers’ Representative Expenses.

(v) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if (w) a Third Party Claim seeks relief other than the payment of monetary damages, (x) the subject matter of a Third Party Claim relates to the ongoing business of the Indemnified Person, which Third Party Claim, if decided against the Indemnified Person, could materially and adversely affect the ongoing business of the Indemnified Person, (y) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action or indictment, or (z) the Indemnified Person reasonably concludes that the amount of the Third Party Claim and associated defense costs shall exceed the limits on the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under Section 9.2(b) or the Indemnifying Party’s financial resources available to defend against the Third Party Claim, then, in each such case, the Indemnified Person alone shall be entitled to defend such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Person elects to exercise such right to defend such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Person shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such election within thirty (30) days of the later of (A) receiving the applicable Third Party Indemnification Claim Notice or (B) the occurrence of the event giving rise to the Indemnified Person’s right to make such election pursuant to clause (w), (x), (y) or (z) of this Section 9.4(a)(v). In such event, the Indemnified Person shall instead have the right to be represented by counsel of its choice (of which it shall notify the Indemnifying Party) at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable expense and to defend such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Person elects to defend any such Third Party Claim, then (1) the Indemnified Person shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend such Third Party Claim, conduct such defense in a good faith and reasonably diligent manner, keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the status of such defense, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party with respect to such defense during the course of such defense, (2) the Indemnifying Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim and (3) the Indemnified Person shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delay), enter into any Settlement of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Person does not elect to defend such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall then have the right to defend such Third Party Claim as described above in Section 9.4(a)(i).

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Third Party Claims in respect of Taxes shall be governed by Section 6.8(c) rather than this Section 9.4(a). To the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.4(a) conflict with the provisions of Section 6.8(c) or Section 6.8(i), Section 6.8(c) or Section 6.8(i) shall control, as applicable.

(b) Notification of Other Indemnification Claims. In order for a Buyer Indemnified Person to be entitled to any indemnification for claims other than as contemplated or covered by the Offset Right (although, for the avoidance of doubt, a claim tendered pursuant to the Offset Right shall suffice for all purposes even if not covered, or fully covered, by the Offset Right), such Buyer Indemnified Person shall, promptly upon the discovery of the matter giving rise to any Losses, notify Sellers’ Representative in writing of such Losses specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such Losses and the amounts of liability estimated to accrue therefrom (a “Non-Offset Notice”). The failure to so notify Sellers’ Representative shall not relieve any Holder from any liability that such Holder may have to Buyer, except to the extent that any such Holder is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, Buyer shall keep Sellers’ Representative reasonably updated with respect to the status of the Losses at issue and the defense thereof. Sellers’ Representative may object to a claim for indemnification set forth in a Non-Offset Notice by delivering a notice to the Buyer Indemnified Person seeking indemnification within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Non-Offset Notice, setting forth in reasonable detail the objections to the claim. If Sellers’ Representative either notifies the applicable Indemnified Person that it does not object or does not object in writing by the end of such thirty (30)-day period, such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment that the Buyer Indemnified Person is entitled to the full amount of the claims set forth in such Non-Offset Notice, and Sellers’ Representative (as well as the Holders) shall take all necessary actions under this Agreement to effect payment in respect thereof. If Sellers’ Representative shall timely object in writing to a Non-Offset Notice, Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to such claim within thirty (30) days after such objection. If Sellers’ Representative and Buyer should so agree on a claim, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by Sellers’ Representative and Buyer. If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation between Sellers’ Representative and Buyer, either Buyer (or any Buyer Indemnified Person) or Sellers’ Representative may initiate an Action in accordance with Sections 10.14 and 10.15 to resolve such dispute. The decision of any such court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Non-Offset Notice shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties.

(c) Claims Unaffected by Investigation. The right of an Indemnified Person to indemnification or to assert or recover on any claim hereunder shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired or capable of being acquired, at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy of or compliance with any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements set forth in this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(d) Surviving Entity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that if the Surviving Entity suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Losses as a result of or in connection with any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Entity as an Indemnified Person) Buyer shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Surviving Entity, to have incurred Losses as a result of and in connection with such misrepresentation, inaccuracy or breach.

(e) Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 10.9 and Section 6.8, without limiting the provisions of Section 2.11, except for claims involving intentional fraud and willful misconduct against a Holder, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Article IX shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach, inaccuracy, misrepresentation or nonperformance, as applicable, of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(f) Indemnification Adjusts Merger Consideration for Tax Purposes. Each Party shall, including retroactively, treat indemnification payments under this Agreement as well as exercises of the Offset Right as adjustments to the consideration paid in the Transactions for Tax purposes to the extent permitted under applicable Law.

(g) No Subrogation. By virtue of executing this Agreement or the execution of an Option Cancellation and Joinder Agreement, each Seller and Participating Optionholder (on behalf of itself and each Person affiliated with such Seller or Participating Optionholder who has served as an officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company) agrees not to make any claim for indemnification against any Buyer Indemnified Person based on the fact that such Seller or Participating Optionholder (or any Person affiliated with such Seller or Participating Optionholder who has served as an officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company) was a controlling person, director, Employee or agent of the Company (whether such claim is for Losses of any kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to Law, a Charter Document, a Contract or otherwise) with respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnified Person against any Seller or Participating Optionholder (or any Person affiliated with such Seller or Participating Optionholder who has served as an officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company) under or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or the Transactions. With respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnified Person against any Seller or Participating Optionholder (or any Person affiliated with such Seller or Participating Optionholder who has served as an officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company) under or relating to this Agreement, any Transaction Agreement or the Transactions, each Seller or Participating Optionholder (on behalf of itself and each Person affiliated with such Seller or Participating Optionholder who has served as an officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company) expressly waives any right of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against the Company with respect to any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such Seller or Participating Optionholder (or any Person affiliated with such Seller or Participating Optionholder who has served as an officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company) may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

(h) Specific Element of Consideration. The indemnification obligations of the Holders in this Article IX are, without limitation, (i) a specific element of the consideration that induced Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations as contemplated hereby and (ii) intended to be fully enforceable on the terms provided in this Article IX.

9.5 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Appointment. By virtue of executing this Agreement or the execution of an Option Cancellation and Joinder Agreement, each Seller and Participating Optionholder hereby irrevocably nominates, constitutes and appoints Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the “Sellers’ Representative” hereunder and each Seller and Participating Optionholder’s exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of the Sellers and Participating Optionholders for purposes of executing any documents and taking any actions that Sellers’ Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article IX. Fortis Advisors LLC hereby accepts its appointment as Sellers’ Representative.

(b) Authority. The Sellers and Participating Optionholders grant to Sellers’ Representative full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of each such Seller and Participating Optionholder (in the name of any or all of the Sellers and Participating Optionholders or otherwise) any and all documents that Sellers’ Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as Sellers’ Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in performing its duties as contemplated by this Section 9.5(b) and the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Sellers and Participating Optionholders, except as expressly provided herein and in the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Sellers’ Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding anything in any Transaction Agreement to the contrary: (i) each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Sellers’ Representative on all matters relating to any claim for indemnification, compensation, reimbursement or set off (including Offset Rights) pursuant to Article IX; and (ii) the Buyer, each Buyer Indemnified Person, and each Holder shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller or Participating Optionholder by Sellers’ Representative and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller or Participating Optionholder by Sellers’ Representative as fully binding upon such Seller or Participating Optionholder and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing and all defenses which may be available to any Seller or Participating Optionholder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Sellers’ Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement or the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement are waived. A decision, act, consent or instruction of Sellers’ Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement (or any provision hereof) pursuant to Section 10.4 or Section 10.5 shall constitute a decision of the Sellers and Participating Optionholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Sellers and Participating Optionholders. Buyer and the Surviving Entity may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of Sellers’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers and Participating Optionholders. Buyer and the Surviving Entity are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of Sellers’ Representative.

(c) Power of Attorney. The Sellers and Participating Optionholders recognize and intend that the power of attorney and the immunities and rights to indemnification granted to Sellers’ Representative Group: (i) are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by Sellers’ Representative; (iii) shall survive the death, dissolution or incapacity, as applicable, of each of the Sellers and Participating Optionholders and be binding on any successor thereto; and (iv) shall survive the assignment of the whole or any part of any Seller or Participating Optionholder’s interest in the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount.

(d) Replacement. If Sellers’ Representative is dissolved, resigns or is otherwise unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the Sellers and Participating Optionholders shall (by consent of those Persons entitled, or who were entitled, to at least a majority of the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount), within ten (10) days after such dissolution, resignation or inability, appoint a successor to Sellers’ Representative reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. Any such successor shall succeed Sellers’ Representative as Sellers’ Representative hereunder. If for any reason there is no Sellers’ Representative at any time, all references herein to Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Sellers and Participating Optionholders who may take action by the written consent of Persons entitled to at least a majority of any further distributions hereunder. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Sellers’ Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement.

(e) Indemnification; Sellers’ Representative Expenses. Certain Holders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Sellers’ Representative to provide direction to the Sellers’ Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement and the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement (such Holders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Sellers’ Representative and its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Sellers’ Representative Group”) shall not be liable to the Holders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it as Sellers’ Representative except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Holders shall severally, but not jointly, indemnify Sellers’ Representative Group and hold Sellers’ Representative Group harmless from and against all Sellers’ Representative Expenses. Such Sellers’ Representative Expenses may be recovered first, from the Expense Fund, second, from any distribution of the Milestone Amounts or Indemnification Hold-Back Amount otherwise distributable to the Holders at the time of distribution (but, for the avoidance of doubt, following any exercise by Buyer of the Offset Right with respect to such Milestone Amounts or the Indemnification Hold-Back Amount), and third, directly from the Holders. The Sellers’ Representative acknowledge that the Sellers’ Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any Sellers’ Representative liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Furthermore, the Sellers’ Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Sellers’ Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Sellers’ Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in performing such actions. The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Allocation Schedule, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Holder or other party.

(f) Upon the Closing, Buyer shall wire to the Sellers’ Representative $100,000 (the “Expense Fund Amount”). The Expense Fund Amount shall be held by the Sellers’ Representative in a segregated client account and shall be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Sellers’ Representative for any Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund Amount incurred pursuant to this Agreement or the Sellers’ Representative Engagement Agreement, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group (the “Expense Fund”). The Sellers’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Holders will not receive any interest on the Expense Fund and assign to the Sellers’ Representative any such interest. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Sellers’ Representative may contribute funds to the Expense Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Holders. As soon as reasonably determined by the Sellers’ Representative that the Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Sellers’ Representative shall distribute the remaining Expense Fund (if any) to the Buyer for further distribution to the Holders.

10.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the Parties) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under this Agreement, except that after the Closing, Buyer Indemnified Persons shall be third party beneficiaries for purposes of enforcing the rights granted to such Buyer Indemnified Persons. For the avoidance of doubt, no consent of any Indemnified Person shall be necessary to amend any provision of this Agreement.

10.8 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all rights and remedies of each of the Parties shall be cumulative and the exercise of any one or more rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available hereunder or under applicable Law.

10.9 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that each of the Parties would be irreparably harmed if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by the other Parties could not be compensated adequately by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled to at Law or in equity, each Party shall be entitled to temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including the right to compel the other Parties to cause the Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to conditions set forth in this Agreement) without having to prove irreparable harm or that monetary damages would be inadequate. The Parties expressly waive any requirement under any Law that the other Parties obtain any bond or give any other undertaking in connection with any action seeking injunctive relief or specific performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Each of the Parties further agrees that in the event of any action for specific performance relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, such Party shall not assert and hereby waives the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate or that specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason in Law or equity.

10.10 Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds that any term or provision of the Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under any Law or public policy, the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect if the economic and legal substance of this Agreement and the Transactions shall not be affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Any such term or provision found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable only in part or in degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not invalid, illegal or unenforceable. Upon the determination that any term or provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties intend that such provision shall be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent possible under applicable Law and compatible with the consummation of the Transactions as originally intended.

10.11 Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise specified herein, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, each Party shall pay all costs and expenses it has incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions.

10.12 Time of Essence. The Parties acknowledge that the Outside Date specified in Section 8.1(b) is essential and therefore agree that no Party wishing to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(b) shall be required to extend the Outside Date to allow any other Party to satisfy any condition or perform any obligation under this Agreement.

10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one instrument. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and manually executed signature pages by transmission by facsimile or by email of a .pdf of a handwritten original signature or signatures to the other Parties shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. The signature of a Party transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to be an original signature for any purpose.

10.14 Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether sounding in contract or tort) arising under or related to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of California, without regard to any rule or principle that might refer the governance or construction of this Agreement to the Laws of another jurisdiction.

10.15 Exclusive Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process. In any action or proceeding between any of the Parties arising under or related to this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Transactions, each of the Parties (a) knowingly, voluntarily, irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in accordance with clause (a) of this Section 10.15, (c) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such courts, including any objection that any such action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum or that the court does not have jurisdiction over any Party and (d) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if such process is given as a notice in accordance with Section 10.2. The Parties agree that any Party may commence a proceeding in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

10.16 Consent to Representation.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP (the “Firm”) has acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) If the Sellers’ Representative so desires, acting on behalf of the Holders and without the need for any consent or waiver by Company, Buyer, or the Surviving Entity, the Firm shall be permitted to represent the Holders after the Closing in connection with any dispute under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement.

(c) The provisions of this Section 10.16 are intended to be for the benefit of the Holders and shall only be enforceable by the Sellers’ Representative.
