A single asset may fall within more than one of clauses (a) through (j) in this Section 2.4; such fact does not imply that (i) such asset shall be transferred more than once or (ii) any duplication of such asset is required. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, no Intellectual Property that does not fall within clause (c) or clause (j) of this Section 2.4 will be deemed to be included in any other clause of this Section 2.4.

(j) Any and all non-transferrable Business Permits; and

(k) Any and all other assets of Seller not specifically included in the Purchased Assets.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries will acquire or be permitted to retain any direct or indirect right, title and interest in any Excluded Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, no right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property described in this Section 2.5 are being acquired by Purchaser.

Section 2.9 Quality of Earnings Adjustment. (a) Attached hereto as Exhibit D is the Quality of Earnings Assessment of the Business prepared by BDO USA, LLP on behalf of Purchaser (the “QOE”). The parties acknowledge and agree that they have mutually resolved all issues presented in the QOE and made all related adjustments prior to the date of this Agreement, except for the proposed adjustment of $585,000 (the “Purchaser Proposed Adjustment”) to reduce the unreconciled and unexplained balances for the cost of sales and operating expenses as noted in item F on page 6 of the QOE.

(b) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (i) a statement (the “Adjustment Statement”) setting forth the amount of the adjustment to the Purchaser Proposed Adjustment, if any, that Seller believes is required (the “Seller Proposed Adjustment”) so that the cost of sales and operating expenses of the Business for the period of January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 as originally presented by Seller to Purchaser for such period are properly reflected in accordance with the Adjustment Standard, and (ii) documentation to support the Seller Proposed Adjustment, if any, set forth in the Adjustment Statement. “Adjustment Standard” shall mean prepared in accordance with GAAP and the standard accounting policies of United Technologies Corporation so long as such accounting policies are in accordance with GAAP, with the unreconciled and unexplained balances for the cost of sales and operating expenses as noted in item F on page 6 of the QOE reflected as if they were to be audited.

(c) Purchaser shall have sixty (60) days (the “Adjustment Review Period”) from the date of receipt by Purchaser of the Adjustment Statement to review the Seller Proposed Adjustment and the related documentation. During the Adjustment Review Period and, if applicable, the Discussion Period, Purchaser and its accountants, attorneys and other Representatives shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of Seller or any other documents on which the Seller Proposed Adjustment is based, or which may be reasonably required by Purchaser’s accountants or advisors, including the working papers of Seller and (subject to customary indemnification letters) its accountants and representatives, if any, prepared in connection with the Adjustment Statement. Seller hereby agrees that following the Closing Date and prior to the completion of the determination of any Adjustment and any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.9(f) hereunder, Seller shall preserve and not alter or destroy any of the books, records or other documents on which the Seller Proposed Adjustment is based, or which may be reasonably required by Purchaser’s accountants or advisors.

(d) In the event Purchaser disagrees with any or all of the Seller Proposed Adjustment, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller within the Adjustment Review Period a written notice of dispute (a “Dispute Notice”), which shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the items and amounts in dispute. Purchaser and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute within twenty (20) Business Days (the “Discussion Period”), commencing on the date Seller receives the Dispute Notice from Purchaser. If Seller and Purchaser do not agree upon a final resolution within the Discussion Period, then the proper amount of the Purchaser Proposed Adjustment, if any, shall be submitted for resolution to the Accounting Firm, and in determining the appropriate amount of the Purchaser Proposed Adjustment, if any, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Purchaser Proposed Adjustment that is necessary so that the cost of sales and operating expenses of the Business for the period of January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 as originally presented by Seller to Purchaser for such period are properly reflected in accordance with the Adjustment Standard. The parties agree to follow the dispute procedures set forth in Section 2.10(e) below.

(e) The right to have the Base Purchase Price adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.9 is the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser with respect to the QOE and any results thereof, except for claims for fraud. The earliest to occur of (i) mutual agreement by Purchaser and Seller on the proper amount of the Adjustment; (ii) the delivery of the Determination with respect to the Adjustment; (iii) the delivery by Purchaser of written confirmation that it accepts the Seller Proposed Adjustment; and (iv) the first day following the end of the Adjustment Review Period if no Dispute Notice has been delivered by Purchaser, shall be the date upon which the Adjustment Statement and the amount of the Adjustment is deemed final (such date, the “Adjustment Determination Date”).

(f) Within ten (10) Business Days after the Adjustment Determination Date, Seller shall pay to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts specified by Purchaser, an amount equal to (A) 5.861 multiplied by (B) the amount of the Adjustment (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(e)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any amount be paid pursuant to this Section 2.9(f) in the event the amount payable pursuant to Section 2.9(f) is less than or equal to $50,000.

Section 2.10 Net Working Capital Adjustment. Section 2.10 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules sets forth a calculation of the Net Working Capital as of the Balance Sheet Date (the “Sample Closing Statement”) and accounting principles used in such calculation.

(b) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller (i) a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth the Net Working Capital, (ii) the Retention Bonus Amount and (iii) the amount payable (if any) by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to Section 2.10(g). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies, including the use of the same line items and line item entries, set forth on and used in the preparation of the Sample Closing Statement; provided, however, that assets newly acquired and liabilities newly incurred following the date of the Sample Closing Statement which cannot be appropriately placed in line items previously used by Seller, but that constitute Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities will also be included to the extent consistent with the accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies applied in preparing the Sample Closing Statement (the principles, practices, methodologies and policies so determined, the “Accounting Principles”). Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that (A) the sole purpose of the determination of the Closing Statement is to adjust the Purchase Price so as to reflect the change in Net Working Capital resulting only from the operation of the Business and (B) such change can only be measured properly only if the calculation is done using the same Accounting Principles.

(c) Seller shall have sixty (60) days (the “Review Period”) from the date of receipt by Seller of the Closing Statement to review the calculations set forth therein and the Retention Bonus Amount. During the Review Period and, if applicable, the Discussion Period (as defined below), Seller and its accountants, attorneys and other Representatives shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of Purchaser or any other documents on which the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement or the calculations of the Retention Bonus Amount are based, or which may be reasonably required by Seller’s accountants or advisors, including the working papers of Purchaser and (subject to customary indemnification letters) its accountants and representatives, if any, prepared in connection with the Closing Statement or the Retention Bonus Amount. Purchaser hereby agrees that following the Closing Date and prior to the completion of the determination of the final Net Working Capital, the final Retention Bonus Amount and any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.10(g) hereunder, Purchaser shall preserve and not alter or destroy any of the books and records relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, or any other documents on which the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement or the calculations for the Retention Bonus Amount are based, or which may be reasonably required by Seller’s accountants or advisors.

(d) In the event Seller disagrees with any or all of the Closing Statement or the Retention Bonus Amount, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser within the Review Period a Dispute Notice, which shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the items and amounts in dispute. Purchaser and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute within the Discussion Period commencing on the date Purchaser receives the Dispute Notice from Seller. If Seller and Purchaser do not agree upon a final resolution within the Discussion Period, then the items remaining in dispute may be submitted thereafter for resolution to an independent accounting firm of nationally recognized standing and mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller (the “Accounting Firm”).

(e) The Accounting Firm shall be engaged to serve as an accountant, and not as an arbitrator, and the terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be consistent therewith, consistent with this Section 2.10, and otherwise as agreed upon between Seller and Purchaser. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Seller and Purchaser based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. Purely by way of illustration, if the items in dispute were to amount to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm were to award $600 in favor of Seller’s position, 60% of the cost of its review would be borne by Purchaser and 40% of the cost of its review would be borne by Seller. Seller and Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to direct the Accounting Firm to render a determination (the “Determination”) of the dispute within thirty (30) Business Days after referral of the matter to the Accounting Firm, which Determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. In making the Determination regarding such dispute, the Accounting Firm shall select, with respect to each item in dispute, an amount equal to either Purchaser’s position as set forth in the Closing Statement or the calculation of the Retention Bonus Amount, as applicable, or Seller’s position, as set forth in the Dispute Notice or an amount within the range of the respective positions. Each of Seller and Purchaser and their respective representatives shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material such party deems relevant to the Determination, and shall have a continuing opportunity to discuss the matter and its position with the Accounting Firm, but no such presentation of materials or communication shall be on an ex parte basis unless agreed to in writing by the other party. The Determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Seller and Purchaser. If Seller does not timely deliver a Dispute Notice or delivers a notice of acceptance of the Closing Statement and the Retention Bonus Amount as prepared by Purchaser, the Closing Statement and Purchaser's calculation of the Retention Bonus Amount shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding upon Seller and Purchaser.

(f) The procedures set forth in this Section 2.10 are the sole and exclusive mechanism for the adjustment of the Base Purchase Price for the Net Working Capital and the Retention Bonus Amount adjusted as set forth herein. The earliest to occur of (i) mutual agreement by Purchaser and Seller; (ii) the delivery of the Determination; (iii) the delivery by Seller of written confirmation that it accepts the Closing Statement and the Retention Bonus Amount as delivered by Purchaser; and (iv) the first day following the end of the Review Period if no Dispute Notice has been delivered by Seller, shall be the date upon which the Closing Statement and the Retention Bonus Amount is deemed final (such date, the “Determination Date”).

(g) The Base Purchase Price shall be (i) increased by the amount by which the Net Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.10(f)) exceeds the Target Net Working Capital, if any or (ii) decreased by the amount by which the Net Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.10(f)) is less than the Target Net Working Capital, if any. The Base Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.10(f), is referred to as the “Working Capital Adjusted Purchase Price”. If the Base Purchase Price is less than the Working Capital Adjusted Purchase Price by at least $100,000, Purchaser shall pay to Seller dollar for dollar the amount by which the Working Capital Adjusted Purchase Price exceeds the Base Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts specified by Seller, within ten (10) Business Days after the Determination Date. If the Base Purchase Price is more than the Working Capital Adjusted Purchase Price by at least $100,000, Seller shall pay to Purchaser dollar for dollar the amount by which the Base Purchase Price exceeds the Working Capital Adjusted Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts specified by Purchaser, within ten (10) Business Days after the Determination Date.

(h) Seller shall pay to Purchaser dollar for dollar the Retention Bonus Amount (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.10(f)) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts specified by Purchaser, within ten (10) Business Days after the Determination Date.

Section 2.11 Purchase Price Allocation. Seller and Purchaser agree to allocate and, as applicable, to cause their relevant Affiliates to allocate, the Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional consideration for Tax Purposes among the Purchased Assets in accordance with the categories set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Allocation Schedule”). No later than ninety (90) days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9 and Section 2.10, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9 and Section 2.10) and any other items that are treated as additional consideration for Tax Purposes to Seller as of the Closing Date determined in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule, Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Purchaser’s Allocation”). If Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s Allocation, Seller may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of Purchaser’s Allocation, deliver a notice (the “Seller’s Allocation Notice”) to Purchaser to such effect, specifying those items as to which Seller disagrees and setting forth Seller’s proposed allocation. If the Seller’s Allocation Notice is duly delivered, Seller and Purchaser shall, during the twenty (20) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation of the Purchase Price (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9 and Section 2.10) and any other items that are treated as additional consideration for Tax Purposes to Seller. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement at the end of such twenty (20) day period, or such later date as agreed to by Purchaser and Seller, then Purchaser and Seller shall file IRS Form(s) 8594 and any federal, state and local income Tax Returns allocating the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in the manner each believes is appropriate determined in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. The parties shall promptly advise one another of the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to any allocation hereunder.

Section 2.12 Non-Assignment. This Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any of the Assigned Contracts if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof or change of control of the Business would, without the approval, authorization or consent of, filing with, notification to, or granting or issuance of any license, order, waiver or permit by, any third party or Governmental Entity (collectively, “Approvals”), (a) constitute a breach thereof, (b) be reasonably likely to make such assignment, or transfer or change of control void or voidable or (c) adversely affects any of the rights intended to be conveyed hereunder, and such Approval is not obtained at or before the Closing. If the Closing occurs and the circumstances described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the preceding sentence exist, then Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in good faith without further consideration (other than as provided in subclause (B) of this sentence) in any arrangement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller intended to both (A) provide Purchaser with the benefit of any such Assigned Contract and (B) cause Purchaser to bear all costs and Liabilities initially arising or accruing following the Closing of, or under any such Assigned Contract. For so long as the Seller holds any Assigned Contracts pursuant to the preceding sentences of this Section 2.11, Purchaser shall, as successor to the Business, perform all obligations required to be performed by the Business initially arising or accruing following the Closing in connection with such Assigned Contracts and indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates (including UTC) and their respective Affiliates harmless from and against all Covered Losses incurred or asserted as a result of Seller’s or any such Affiliate’s or their respective Affiliate’s with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any transfer or assignment to Purchaser of any Assigned Contract that shall require an Approval as described above in this Section 2.11 shall be made subject to such Approval being obtained.

Each Employee who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment pursuant to this Section 5.6(a), shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee.” With respect to each Transferred Employee, Purchaser shall maintain, for the period of twelve (12) months immediately following the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”), the same base wage or base cash salary level in effect for such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing as set forth on Section 3.15(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules and the offer of employment from Purchaser to each Employee shall include a retention bonus equal to six percent (6%) of such Employee’s annualized cash compensation as in effect immediately prior to the Closing (the aggregate of such amounts actually paid by Purchaser for all Transferred Employees, the “Retention Bonus Amount”) payable on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date, provided the Transferred Employee is employed by Purchaser on such sixtieth day. No later than 5 days after such 60-day period, Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice that the Retention Bonus Amount has been paid in full satisfaction of Purchaser’s obligations under the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 5.6(a). Purchaser shall offer the Employees the same benefits as offered to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser; provided that the Employees will be provided with severance benefits during the Continuation Period that are no less favorable than those set forth in Section 5.6(a) of the Seller’s Disclosure Schedule. Purchaser will recognize each Transferred Employee’s seniority date with the Seller or other Affiliate of Seller under its compensation and fringe benefit programs (where such date is relevant) consistent with Purchaser’s treatment of employees generally. The foregoing notwithstanding, Purchaser shall not be prohibited by this Section 5.6(a) from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee following the Closing Date. As of and after the Closing and provided that Seller cooperates reasonably in timely providing information needed to effectuate the same, Purchaser shall provide to each Transferred Employee full credit for seniority for all purposes under any benefit plan, policy, program or arrangement that is offered by Purchaser to such Transferred Employees, in each case maintained for the benefit of Transferred Employees as of and after the Closing by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, for such Transferred Employee’s service prior to the Closing with Seller or any of its Affiliates. Unless an Employee(s) is terminated for cause by Seller in its discretion, the Employees shall remain employed by Seller up through and including the Closing, and Seller shall have no obligation to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee prior to the effective time of a Transferred Employee’s employment with Purchaser.

(b) Claims and Participation. Effective immediately following the Closing Date, the Business shall cease participation in each of the Seller Benefit Plans and Seller shall be responsible for all claims under the Seller Benefit Plans incurred on or prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, a claim for health benefits (including, without limitation, a claim for medical, prescription drug and dental expenses) will be deemed to have been incurred on the date on which the related medical service or material was rendered to or received by the individual claiming such benefit; a claim for sickness or disability benefits based on an injury or illness occurring on or prior to the Closing Date will be deemed to have been incurred on or prior the Closing Date; and in the case of any claim for benefits other than health benefits, sickness or disability benefits, a claim will be deemed to have been incurred upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to such claim. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that Transferred Employees will continue to participate in the health and welfare Seller Benefit Plans through October 7, 2016 at Seller’s cost and expense.

(c) Administration, Employee Communications, Cooperation. Following the date of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser (and their Affiliates) shall reasonably cooperate and use good faith efforts in all matters reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.6, including exchanging information and data relating to workers’ compensation, employee benefits and employee benefit plan coverages (except to the extent prohibited by applicable Laws), making any and all required filings and notices, preparing and delivering any and all required communications with Employees and obtaining any approvals of Governmental Entity required hereunder.

(d) Health Benefits. Effective no later than the first day of the month following the month in which the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, maintain or cause to be maintained benefit plans to provide medical care, dental care, and vision care for each Transferred Employee (collectively, “Purchaser’s Health Plans”).

Section 5.12 Acknowledgement by Purchaser.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Business, and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and verification and the representations and warranties of the Seller expressly and specifically set forth in Article III as qualified by the attached Seller Disclosure Schedules. The representations and warranties by the Seller expressly and specifically set forth in Article III and in the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and exclusive representations, warranties, and statements of any kind of the Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations, warranties, and statements of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of the Business, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Business’ assets) are specifically disclaimed by the Seller. PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III AND IN THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, NEITHER THE SELLER NOR ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING, ANY EQUITYHOLDER, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, MANAGER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER IN ANY INDIVIDUAL, CORPORATE OR ANY OTHER CAPACITY) IS MAKING, AND PURCHASER IS NOT RELYING ON, ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR OTHER STATEMENTS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO ANY MATTER CONCERNING THE BUSINESS, SELLER, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED TO (OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED BY) PURCHASER OR ANY OF PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIVES.

(b) Except as may be subject to a representation or warranty by Seller set forth in Article III or in any other Transaction Documents, neither Seller, nor any officer, director, manager, employee or agent of Seller or its Affiliates, whether in an individual or corporate capacity, will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to Purchaser or any other Person resulting from (nor shall Purchaser have any claim with respect to) the distribution to Purchaser, or Purchaser’s use of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Purchaser in certain “data rooms,” confidential information memoranda or management presentations in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise.

(c) In connection with the investigation by Purchaser of the Business, Purchaser has received or may receive from the Seller certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information. Purchaser acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties, that Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and that Purchaser shall have no claim against anyone with respect thereto, except as may be subject to a representation or warranty by Seller set forth in Article III or in any other Transaction Documents. Accordingly, Purchaser acknowledges that neither Seller, nor any equityholder, officer, director, manager, employee or agent of Seller or its Affiliates, whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, make any representation, warranty, or other statement with respect to, and Purchaser is not relying on, such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), except as may be subject to a representation or warranty by Seller set forth in Article III or in any other Transaction Documents.

Section 5.15 Carrier Margin Guarantee.

(a) If there is a Shortfall in any Applicable Year, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a certificate (the “Shortfall Certificate”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the Shortfall and the Seller Payment not later than ninety (90) after the end of such Applicable Year and certifying to Purchaser’s full compliance with Section 5.15(b). Seller shall have sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of the Shortfall Certificate (the “Shortfall Review Period”) to review the Shortfall Certificate. In the course of that review, Seller shall have reasonable access to the books and records of Purchaser related to the Carrier Agreement, Carrier’s purchase of Products for the Applicable Year and Purchaser’s operation of the Business in accordance with Section 5.15(b). In the event Seller disagrees with any or all of the Shortfall Certificate, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser within the Shortfall Review Period a written notice of dispute (the “Shortfall Dispute Notice”), which shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the dispute. Purchaser and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute within twenty (20) Business Days commencing on the date Purchaser receives the Shortfall Dispute Notice from Seller. If Seller and Purchaser do not obtain a final resolution within such period, then the items remaining in dispute may be submitted thereafter for resolution in the same manner described in Section 2.10(e). If Seller does not deliver a Shortfall Dispute Notice, Seller shall pay the Seller Payment to Purchaser no later than ninety (90) days after receipt by Seller of the Shortfall Certificate.

(b) Until December 31, 2019, except with the consent of Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Purchaser shall maintain the current operations in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin for the Products sold to Carrier; provided, however, that Purchaser may upgrade the line to accommodate development and shipment of Products so long as Purchaser maintains the Performance Metrics in all material respects. In addition and not in limitation of the foregoing sentence, Purchaser shall not, directly or indirectly, until December 31, 2019, (i) take any actions in bad faith that would have the purpose of causing a Shortfall; or (ii) eliminate or discontinue any of the Products that Purchaser sells to Carrier without Carrier’s consent. Purchaser’s failure to comply with any provision of this Section 5.15(b) in any material respect for an Applicable Year shall eliminate any obligation of Seller to pay any Seller Payment to Purchaser as a result of a Shortfall for such Applicable Year and, if the failure also constitutes a Major Quality Escape, any subsequent Applicable Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may give notice to Seller at any time that it elects to forfeit its rights under Section 5.15(a), and in such case, it shall cease to have any obligations or rights to a Shortfall under this Section 5.15 for the period after the date of such notice.

A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to such right of indemnification (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent the defense of the related claim is materially prejudiced by such failure, it being agreed that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 9.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a Third Party Claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party); provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including by furnishing books and records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement or compromise of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided, that such settlement or judgment (i) is solely for monetary damages paid by the Indemnifying Party and provides a complete release of the Indemnified Party and (ii) does not involve any injunctive relief or finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim to which the Indemnifying Party assumed the defense and control pursuant to this Section 9.4(b) without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense and control of a Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim (A) seeks non-monetary relief, (B) involves a criminal allegation by a Governmental Entity, (C) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, to the extent such Person is not a supplier or customer of Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates, (D) involves, in the opinion of counsel of the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or (E) involves a claim that, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend.

(c) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Seller shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Tax Return of (i) Seller or any of its Affiliates or (ii) a consolidated, combined or unitary group that includes Seller or any of its Affiliates.

Section 9.5 Exclusive Remedy and Release. Except for specific performance or injunctive relief, for any claims for fraud or criminal activity, or pursuant to Section 2.9 and Section 2.10, Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Seller and Purchaser, respectively, for any Covered Losses (including any Covered Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that each party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction or the other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by any party, or any failure by any party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

Section 9.6 Additional Indemnification Provisions. With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement, all Covered Losses shall be net of any third-party insurance or indemnity, contribution or similar proceeds that have been recovered by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (net of out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred in obtaining such recovery, the amount of any Tax imposed thereon and any insurance premium increases) (it being agreed that if third-party insurance or indemnification, contribution or similar proceeds in respect of such facts are recovered by the Indemnified Party subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment in satisfaction of its applicable indemnification obligation, such proceeds (net of amounts set forth above) shall be promptly remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the indemnification payment made), and the Indemnified Party shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance and indemnity, contribution or similar provisions covering such Loss to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder, which efforts shall not require the commencement of any Proceeding.

Section 9.7 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including this Article IX), neither party shall be liable to the other party or its Affiliates, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, at law or in equity, and “Covered Losses” shall not include any amounts (a) for any consequential, special or punitive damages (including damages calculated on multiples of earnings or other metrics approaches) except to the extent required to be paid pursuant to a Third Party Claim or (b) based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement if such other party or its Affiliates had actual knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing.

Section 9.8 Mitigation. Each of the parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate its respective Covered Losses in accordance with Law upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Covered Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

Section 9.9 Special Rule for Fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article IX, in the event of any breach of a representation or warranty by any party hereto constitutes fraud, by or on behalf of Seller (including, without limitation, any intentional misrepresentation or fraudulent act committed by any personnel or agent of Seller in connection with the consummation of the Transaction), on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, then (a) the indemnification obligation with respect to such breach shall survive indefinitely and (b) the limitations set forth Sections 9.1 and 9.2(b), as applicable, shall not apply to any Covered Losses that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any such breach.

Section 9.10 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), Seller, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall treat any and all payments under Section 2.9, Section 2.10 and this Article IX as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes.

ARTICLE X. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 10.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto, and the Confidentiality Agreement, along with the Seller Disclosure Schedules, constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. Neither party shall be liable or bound to the other party in any manner by any representations, warranties or covenants relating to such subject matter except as specifically set forth herein and therein.

Section 10.2 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned or transferred by either party (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 10.2 shall be void. Subject to the two preceding sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 10.3 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

Section 10.4 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 9.2 and Section 9.3, which are intended to benefit, and to be enforceable by, the parties specified therein, this Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto are not intended to confer in or on behalf of any Person not a party to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any rights, benefits, causes of action or remedies with respect to the subject matter or any provision hereof.

Section 10.6 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled in Law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction.

Section 10.7 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state court sitting in New York, New York, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such dispute, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in the event any dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arises out of this Agreement or the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than state court in New York, New York, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Proceeding, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Each party agrees that service of process upon such party in any such Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 10.5.

Section 10.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE ADMINISTRATION THEREOF OR THE TRANSACTION OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENTS. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 10.8. NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.8 WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

Section 10.9 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered (by facsimile, e-mail, or otherwise) to the other party. This Agreement has been executed in the English language. If this Agreement is translated into another language, the English language text shall in any event prevail.

Section 10.11 Expenses. Whether or not the Closing takes place, and except as set forth otherwise in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expense.

Section 10.12 Interpretation; Absence of Presumption. It is understood and agreed that the specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Seller Disclosure Schedules is not intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Seller Disclosure Schedules in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described in this Agreement or included in the Seller Disclosure Schedules is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein (for the avoidance of doubt, including the Seller Disclosure Schedules) shall be deemed an admission by either party or any of its Affiliates, in any Proceeding or Action, that such party or any such Affiliate, or any third party, is or is not in breach or violation of, or in default in, the performance or observance of any term or provisions of any Contract. For the purposes of this Agreement, (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (b) references to the terms Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule are references to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (c) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto,” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto; (d) references to “$” shall mean U.S. dollars; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall mean “including without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” shall not be exclusive; (g) references to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form; (h) provisions shall apply, when appropriate, to successive events and transactions; (i) the headings contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; (j) Seller and Purchaser have each participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties thereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening either party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; (k) a reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and permitted assigns; (l) any reference to “days” means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified; and (m) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.
