3.6 Sale of Share Consideration; Backstop; Call Option; Issuance of Share Consideration.

(a) Sellers shall not sell any of the Share Consideration for twelve (12) months after the date of this Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”) pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement (defined below). Following expiration of the Lock-Up Period, if any of the Sellers wish to sell any of the Share Consideration (the “Sale Shares”), such Sellers shall first offer to sell to Buyer such Sale Shares for a per share price equal to the average of the highest and lowest reported sales prices of Buyer’s Common Stock on the OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group (the “OTCQB”) for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of the offer (the “Sale Price”). Buyer may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Sale Shares, which payment shall be made to the applicable Seller, in exchange for such Sale Shares, within ten (10) days after accepting the offer. In the event that Buyer does not respond to Sellers within such ten (10) day period or does not elect to purchase all of such Sale Shares, Sellers shall next offer to sell to RMCF any unpurchased Sale Shares for the Sale Price. RMCF may elect to purchase all or any portion of such Sale Shares, which payment shall be made to the applicable Seller, in exchange for such Sale Shares, within ten (10) days after accepting the offer. In the event that RMCF does not respond to Sellers within such ten (10) day period or does not elect to purchase all of such Sale Shares, the Sellers may sell such shares on the OTCQB over the next thirty (30) days; provided that a Seller may not sell more shares of the Buyer’s Common Stock on any day than the average daily trading volume for the Buyer’s Common Stock on the OTCQB over the previous thirty (30) days. In the event that a Seller has not sold all of the Sale Shares that it wishes to sell over such thirty (30) day period, the provisions of this Section 3.6(a) shall again apply and a Seller shall offer to sell the Sale Shares to RMCF and the Buyer prior to any sale on the OTCQB.

(b) Subject to Section 3.6(e) and Section 8.9, in the event that the per share proceeds from the sale of any Sale Shares is less than fifty cents ($.50) per share before payment of any commissions or selling expenses, Buyer will pay to the applicable Seller an amount equal to (i) the number of Sale Shares sold by such Seller, multiplied by (ii) the difference between (x) fifty cents ($.50) and (y) the per share proceeds prior to payment of any commissions or selling expenses received by a Seller upon the sale of any Sale Shares pursuant to Section 3.6(a) (the “Shortfall Payment”). The Shortfall Payment will be paid by Buyer to the applicable Seller within ten (10) days after delivery by such Seller to Buyer of proof of sale of any Sale Shares for less than fifty cents ($.50) per share prior to payment of any commissions or selling expenses.

(c) At any time after expiration of the Lock-Up Period, RMCF or Buyer may offer to purchase any or all of the Share Consideration for a purchase price of at least fifty cents ($.50) per share. Sellers shall have ten (10) days after delivery of notice of such offer to accept

or reject the offer. If Sellers accept the offer within such ten (10) day period, Buyer shall make a payment to the applicable Seller, in exchange for such Sale Shares, within ten (10) days after acceptance of the offer. If Sellers do not respond during such ten (10) day period, or if Sellers reject the offer, then the Buyer’s obligations under Section 3.6(b) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

(d) The Share Consideration shall be issued by Buyer to Sellers upon the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, or (ii) delivery of satisfactory evidence to Buyer of the resolution and/or settlement of the dispute between CherryBerry Corporate LLC and Beautiful Brands International, LLC relating to the Agreement, dated May 19, 2011, between such parties (the “BBI Agreement”), such that there are no further obligations of either party under the BBI Agreement and the BBI Agreement is terminated (the “BBI Dispute”).

(e) Upon the sale(s) of all or any portion of the Sale Shares after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the proceeds from such sale(s) of the Sale Shares shall be placed in escrow with a third party escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and the Sellers pursuant to customary escrow terms until the resolution and/or settlement of the BBI Dispute; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 3.6(e), the Sellers have the option, in their sole discretion, to sell the Sale Shares without placing the proceeds from such sale(s) in escrow, in which case the Shortfall Payment described in Section 3.6(b) shall not apply to such sale(s) of the Sale Shares and Buyer’s obligations under Section 3.6(b) shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect.

The execution, delivery, and performance of the Transaction Documents by Buyer will not cause any Taxes to be payable by Buyer or any of its subsidiaries or cause any lien, charge, or encumbrance to secure any Taxes to be created either immediately or upon the nonpayment of any Taxes.

4.8 Exchange Act.

(a) The Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Buyer is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act. Buyer has taken no action to terminate such Exchange Act registration. Buyer has made available to Seller true, complete, and correct copies of all documents filed or furnished with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by or on behalf of Buyer (the “SEC Documents”).

has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder since at least December 31, 2007.

(b) Buyer is in compliance in all material respects with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 which are applicable to it. Buyer and its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Buyer has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for Buyer and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Buyer and its subsidiaries is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which Buyer’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act is being prepared. Buyer’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of Buyer’s controls and procedures as of the date prior to the filing date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). Buyer presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in Buyer’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a and 15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Buyer’s internal control over financial reporting. Buyer has made available to Seller copies of, all written descriptions of, and all policies, manuals and other documents promulgating, such disclosure controls and procedures. The books, records and accounts of Buyer accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions in, and dispositions of, the assets of, and the results of operations of, Buyer all to the extent required by GAAP.

4.9 Litigation. There is no Litigation pending or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened, or any Judgment outstanding, involving or affecting Buyer or all or any part of its assets or shares of Common Stock.

4.10 Valid Offering; No Integration. The offering and sale of the Share Consideration is a valid offering exempt from registration under federal and applicable state securities laws. Neither Buyer, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering and sale of the Share Consideration to be integrated with prior offerings by Buyer for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable shareholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any trading market on which any of the securities of Buyer are listed or designated.

4.11 Manipulation of Price. Buyer has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of Buyer to facilitate the sale or resale

of any of Buyer’s outstanding securities; or (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid or agreed to pay, any compensation to any Person for soliciting purchases of, any of the securities of Buyer.

Except as set forth on Schedule 5.10(b), the validity of the Acquired Intellectual Property, and the title or other rights thereto of each Seller, have not been challenged or questioned in any Litigation to which such Seller is a party, nor, to such Seller’s knowledge, is any such Litigation threatened. To each Seller’s knowledge, there is no unauthorized use, infringement, misappropriation or other misuse by other Persons of any Acquired Intellectual Property purported to be owned by such Seller.

(c) There has been no act or omission by any Seller or by such Seller’s employees, duly authorized attorneys or agents, as the case may be, or any other fact, which makes or will make invalid or unenforceable any otherwise valid and enforceable rights of such Seller in any of the Acquired Intellectual Property (by assignment or otherwise), or which negates or will negate the right to the issuance by such Seller of any of the Acquired Intellectual Property.

(d) No Seller holds any patents or patent applications.

(e) Each item of Acquired Intellectual Property is either: (i) owned solely by Sellers free and clear of any Encumbrances, or (ii) rightfully used and authorized for use by Sellers and its successors pursuant to a valid and enforceable written license.

Each of the Inbound Intellectual Property Licenses and the Outbound Intellectual Property Licenses (together “Intellectual Property Licenses”) is valid and binding on such Seller party thereto, and, to the knowledge of such Seller, all other parties thereto and enforceable in accordance with its terms, and, to the knowledge of such Seller, there exists no event or condition that does or will result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default by any party thereunder. Each Seller is in compliance with, and has not breached any term of any such Intellectual Property Licenses and, to the

knowledge of such Seller, all other parties to such Intellectual Property Licenses are in compliance with, and have not breached any term of, such Intellectual Property Licenses. Following the Closing Date, Buyer and its subsidiaries will be permitted to exercise all of Sellers’ rights under such Intellectual Property Licenses to the same extent Sellers would have been able to had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred and without the payment of any additional amounts or consideration other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments which Seller would otherwise be required to pay.

(g) Each Seller has secured valid written assignments from all consultants, employees and other third parties who contributed to the creation or development of Intellectual Property for such Seller (“Creators”) of the rights to such contributions that such Seller does not already own by operation of law, pursuant to which such Seller is the sole owner of all such contributions, including all rights therein. The Creators have not made any filings for or, to the knowledge of such Seller, otherwise taken any steps to secure or acquire any rights to Intellectual Property inconsistent with the assignments referred to in this Section 5.10(g). No third party, including any former employer of any Creator, has any claim to any right, title or interest in any Acquired Intellectual Property that is inconsistent with the assignment to such Seller by such Creator described in this Section 5.10(g), nor has any third party made any filings or taken any other actions inconsistent with such assignment.

(h) No current or former shareholder, manager, partner, director, officer, employee, agent or distributor of Sellers or any of Sellers’ predecessors in interest will, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, own or retain any rights in, to, or under any of the Acquired Intellectual Property.

5.11 Employee Benefit Plans. None of Sellers or any Seller ERISA Affiliate sponsors, maintains or contributes to or, at any time during the last six years, has sponsored, maintained or contributed to (or been obligated to sponsor, maintain or contribute to), nor does Seller or any Seller ERISA Affiliate have any liability with respect to, any "multiemployer plan," as defined in Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA or Section 414(f) of the Code, that covers (or covered) employees of Sellers.

5.12 Environmental Matters. To the knowledge of the Sellers, each Seller is currently and has been at all times during the past five (5) years in compliance in all material respects with, and has no material liabilities under, any and all Environmental Laws, and has not received from any Person any: (i) Environmental Notice or Environmental Claim; or (ii) written request for information pursuant to Environmental Law, which, in each case, either remains pending or unresolved, or is the source of ongoing obligations or requirements as of the Closing Date. To the knowledge of the Sellers, there are no facts, events, conditions or circumstances that could result in a liability to Seller pursuant to Environmental Laws.

5.13 Books and Records. All of the books, records, and accounts of each Seller are in all material respects true and complete, are maintained in accordance with good business practice, accurately present and reflect in all material respects all of the transactions therein described, and are reflected accurately in the Financial Statements.

5.14 Securities Matters.

(a) Each Seller agrees that such Seller was in a position to obtain information from Buyer that has enabled it to evaluate its investment in Buyer. Such Seller has had an opportunity to ask questions of and obtain additional information from the officers of Buyer concerning the business and financial condition of Buyer and its anticipated business.

(b) In the transaction subject to this Agreement, each Seller is acquiring the Common Stock for its own account for investment purposes, and not with a view to distribution.

(c) Each Seller acknowledges that Buyer has not registered with the SEC or any state agency any of the Common Stock that will be issued to such Seller as part of the Purchase Price. As such, it constitutes restricted securities.

(d) Each Seller acknowledges (1) that Buyer has sustained losses in the past; (2) that there can be no assurance that net income will be realized by Buyer or its Affiliates; and (3) as such, there can be no assurance that such Seller will receive any return on its investment.

(e) Each Seller understands that there is no assurance that Buyer will achieve any net income that is passed on to such Seller. Such Seller is an entity that is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Common Stock of Buyer. In making this statement, such Seller has considered whether it could afford to hold the Common Stock for an indefinite period and whether, at this time, it could afford a complete loss of its investment.

(f) Each Seller understands and acknowledges that although the Common Stock it receives as part of the Purchase Price might be able to be transferred without registration under the Act, any such transfer may be subject to registration under applicable state securities laws. Such Seller agrees that it will not sell or otherwise transfer that Common Stock unless it is registered, or unless an exemption from any federal and state registration requirements are available to the satisfaction of Buyer. Such Seller agrees that the certificate(s) evidencing that Common Stock can contain a restrictive legend, in a form the same as or similar to the following:

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or under the comparable provisions of the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction; and are therefore “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Act. The shares may not be offered for sale, sold, or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and other applicable laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and other applicable laws, the availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the corporation.”

(g) Each Seller agrees that the Common Stock acquired by such Seller as part of the Purchase Price will not be resold, or offered for resale, or otherwise transferred by such Seller for a period of at least twelve months after the Closing Date.

(h) EACH SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER BUYER, NOR ANY OF ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES,

OR AGENTS MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES (1) CONCERNING THE PAST PERFORMANCE OF BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE BUSINESSES, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT; OR (2) CONCERNING THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE BUSINESSES.

5.15 Disclosure. No representation or warranty by Sellers in this Agreement or in any Schedule or Exhibit of this Agreement, or any statement, list or certificate furnished or to be furnished by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, contains or will contain any untrue statement of material fact, or omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which made.

5.16 No Other Representations and Warranties. THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE SELLERS CONTAINED HEREIN AND IN ANY OF THE CERTIFICATES DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLERS TO BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND BUYER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY RELATING TO THE FUTURE OR HISTORICAL OPERATIONS OF THE BUSINESS OR THE ACQUIRED ASSETS OR THE QUALITY, QUANTITY OR CONDITION OF THE ACQUIRED ASSETS) ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED BY THE SELLERS. OTHER THAN THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE SELLERS CONTAINED HEREIN, IN THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND IN ANY OF THE CERTIFICATES DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO, THE SELLERS DO NOT MAKE OR PROVIDE, AND THE BUYER HEREBY WAIVES, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO AFFECT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY MADE BY ANY SELLER PURSUANT TO ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 and the restrictions set forth therein, (i) a Restricted Party may own securities in any Competitor that is a publicly-held corporation, but only to the extent that the Restricted Party does not own, of record or beneficially, more than one percent of the outstanding beneficial ownership of any such Competitor, (ii) a Restricted Party may sell, lease, license, or otherwise transfer to any Person any of the Excluded Assets, and (iii) a Restricted Party may conduct business with any supplier or other vendor that provided goods and/or services to any Seller prior to the Closing Date, so long as such business does not compete with, interfere with or adversely affect the Business; provided that, in the case of either of clause (i), (ii), or (iii), such Restricted Party is otherwise in compliance with the terms hereof and the terms of any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement then in effect between any Restricted Party and Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

damages, but also by an action or actions for specific performance, temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief or other equitable relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations or breaches (whether anticipatory, continuing or future) of this Section 6.4 without the need to post any bond or other security. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting Buyer or any of its Affiliates from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the breaching party.

From and after Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates, and their respective officers and directors, employees, agents, and representatives, and any Person claiming by or through any of them, as the case may be (each, a “Seller Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from:

(a) any representations and warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement not being true and accurate when made or when required by this Agreement to be true and accurate;

(b) any failure by Buyer to perform any of its covenants, agreements, or obligations in this Agreement;

(d) the Assumed Liabilities; and

(e) the employment by Buyer of, or services rendered to it by, any finder, broker, agency, or other intermediary, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or any allegation of any such employment or services (collectively, with all other indemnification obligations of the Buyer contained in this Section 8.2, the “Section 8.2 Indemnified Claims”).

8.3 Procedure for Indemnified Third Party Claim. If a party desires indemnification by the other party, promptly after receipt by a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (each an “Indemnitee”) of written notice of the assertion or the commencement of any Litigation with respect to any matter referred to in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as applicable, the Indemnitee shall give written notice thereof to the other party (such other party, whether Buyer or Sellers and the Members, the “Indemnifying Party”), and thereafter shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed with respect thereto; provided, however, that failure of the Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. If any Litigation is commenced against any Indemnitee by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such Litigation and, at the Indemnifying Party’s option, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any

Litigation if (i) the Indemnitee shall have one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, and, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, counsel for the Indemnifying Party could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnitee because such interests could be in conflict with those of the Indemnifying Party, (ii) such Litigation is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on any other matter beyond the scope or limits of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have assumed the defense of the Litigation in a timely fashion (but in any event within thirty days of notice of such Litigation). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Litigation, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in any Litigation at its sole expense, and the Indemnifying Party shall not settle such Litigation unless the settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability with respect to the matters that are subject to such Litigation, or otherwise shall have been approved reasonably by the Indemnitee.

8.4 Payment of Indemnification Amounts. Amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party as incurred by the Indemnitee, and shall bear interest at the Prime Rate from the date the Losses for which indemnification is sought were incurred by the Indemnitee until the date of payment of indemnification; provided, however, that any amounts owing from any Seller pursuant to Section 8.1 will made in cash and from the cancellation and retirement of Share Consideration held by the Sellers, in the same proportion as the Cash Amount and the Share Consideration are to the Purchase Price, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such outstanding indemnification payment, and thereafter will be made directly by the Sellers in accordance with the terms herein. For purposes of this Section 8.4, the Share Consideration will be valued at an amount equal to the average of the highest and lowest reported sales prices of Buyer’s Common Stock on the OTCQB for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date on which such indemnification payment becomes due and payable, as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P., or another authoritative source mutually acceptable to the parties.

8.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4(a), and 5.4(b) (collectively, the “Exempt Representations and Warranties”) shall survive Closing indefinitely. The warranties set forth in Section 5.8 (the “SOL Representations and Warranties”) shall survive Closing until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All other warranties of the parties set forth in Article 4 and Article 5 shall survive Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months. An Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations with respect to fraud or intentional misrepresentation by such Indemnifying Party shall survive indefinitely. It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 8.5 (the “Applicable Survival Period”) is longer or shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then absent fraud, by contract the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such items shall be increased or reduced, as applicable, to the extended or shortened survival period contemplated hereby. The parties further acknowledge that the Applicable Survival Periods set forth in this Section 8.5 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arm’s-length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed herein by the parties.

8.6 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents to the contrary:

(a) No Seller or Member shall have any liability for Section 8.1 Indemnified Claims to the extent (i) insurance proceeds (including proceeds from title insurance) in respect of such claims are actually received by the Buyer Indemnitees, net of all actual and reasonable expenses incurred by them in recovering such proceeds from the insurance carrier, or (ii) the Buyer Indemnitees actually receive indemnification or recovery of damages from a third party for such claims, net of all reasonable expenses incurred by them in recovering such indemnification or recovery of damages from the third party.

(b) All amounts paid by or on behalf of Sellers or the Members as indemnification shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price, except as required by applicable Law.

(e) The Buyer will not have any liability to the Seller Indemnitees under Section 8.2 until the Seller Indemnitees shall have incurred on a cumulative basis Losses exceeding the Basket, at which point the Buyer shall be liable for all Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitees in excess of the amount of the Basket; provided, however, the Basket shall not apply to any Losses incurred or suffered by any of them arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach by Buyer of any Exempt Representation and Warranties or (ii) claims based upon Buyer’s fraud, fraudulent actions or intentional misrepresentation.

(f) The maximum aggregate liability of Sellers and the Members to the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to claims under Section 8.1(a) will be limited to an amount equal to Two Million Sixty Two Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($2,062,500) (the “Cap”); provided, however, the Cap shall not apply to any Losses incurred or suffered by any of them and arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach by the Sellers of any Exempt Representations and Warranties or any SOL Representations and Warranties, or (ii) claims based upon fraud, fraudulent actions or intentional misrepresentation.

(g) The maximum aggregate liability of the Buyer to the Seller Indemnitees with respect to claims under Section 8.2(a) will be limited to Cap; provided, however, such limitation shall not apply to any Losses incurred or suffered by any of them and arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach by the Buyer of any Exempt Representations and Warranties or any SOL Representations and Warranties, or (ii) claims based upon fraud, fraudulent actions or intentional misrepresentation.

8.7 Knowledge and Investigation. All representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and indemnities of Sellers contained in this Agreement and in the Transaction Documents shall be deemed material and relied upon by Buyer and the Indemnitees, regardless of any knowledge or investigation or any representation made by Buyer, and none will be waived by any failure to pursue any action or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.8 Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to an action based upon an allegation of fraud or with respect to which equitable relief is sought (and solely to the extent such action is based on the allegation of fraud or seeks equitable relief) or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Article 8 constitute the exclusive remedy of the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered under Sections 8.1 and 8.2.

8.9 Termination of Shortfall Payment. If Sellers or the Members do not comply with their indemnification obligations under this Article 8, Buyer’s obligations under Section 3.6(b) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
