(A) in the case of Taxes that are either (1) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (2) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable year of the Company ended with (and included) the Closing Date; provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period; and

(B) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Tax Period (the Tax period for such purposes begins on the date on which ownership of the property gives rise to liability for the particular Tax and ends on the day prior to the next such date), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

The amount of any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Company for any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Buyer. The amount of any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Company for any Straddle Tax Period shall be equitably apportioned between Buyer and Seller in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 7.3(a)(iii). Each Party shall forward, and shall cause its Affiliates to forward, to the Party entitled to receive a refund or credit of Tax pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) the amount of such refund or credit and any interest thereon (or in the case of a Straddle Tax Period, the applicable portion of any such interest) received from the relevant Governmental Authority within thirty (30) days after such refund (or, in the case of a Tax credit, within thirty (30) days after the filing of a Tax Return claiming or utilizing such Tax credit) is received. To the extent requested by Seller, and at Seller’s expense, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in applying for and obtaining any available Tax refunds or credits with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods or Straddle Tax Periods.

(d) Transfer Taxes. Each of Buyer and Seller hereby agree to pay one-half of any and all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, recording, value added, registration and other similar Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording fees and other similar charges, in each case, incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) and to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and its Affiliates from and against any and all Transfer Taxes so incurred.

(f) Adjustment to Purchase Price. The Parties agree to treat for all Tax purposes all payments made under this Section 7.3 and all indemnity payments under Article X as adjustments to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by applicable Law following a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code.

From and after the Closing, and from time to time at the request of the other Party, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, and Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, without further consideration, execute and deliver such documents, instruments and assurances of transfer, conveyance, assignment and assumption, and take such further actions as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, including transferring the Purchased Assets to the Company and cooperating with the Company to get the certificates of title of the Purchased COT Assets to be issued in the Company’s name and using commercially reasonable efforts to correct any Permitted Title Defects, including taking such actions as may be reasonably necessary to cause Enterprise to transition any vehicles constituting the Purchased COT Assets that are associated with the Omnitracs account of Enterprise to the Omnitracs account of Buyer.

(a) Except for contact with Enterprise, EPCO, Seller and the Business Employees as it relates to the employment of the Business Employees by Buyer or to the Purchased Assets, Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives shall not, prior to the Closing Date, contact any customer, vendor, supplier or employee of, or any other Person having business dealings with, Enterprise, Seller, the Company or their Affiliates with respect to the Company or with respect to any aspect of this Agreement, except where Buyer has received the prior written consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that where consent for such contact is withheld from Seller by Enterprise, it shall not be deemed unreasonable for Seller to withhold such consent from Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.5(a) shall not limit or otherwise restrict Buyer or its Affiliates and Representatives from contacting or having business dealings with any such Person with whom Buyer or such Affiliate has or may have business dealings, so long as such contact or business dealings relate to Buyer’s operation of its businesses and not to Seller’s or its Affiliates’ business dealings with such Person with respect to the Company or with respect to any aspect of this Agreement.

(b) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, information provided to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 7.5(b) shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.

(c) Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, after the Closing Date and for a period of one (1) year, it and its Affiliates shall keep confidential and not disclose to any other Person, other than to its officers, directors, managers, employees and advisors who are under a duty of confidentiality to Seller or such Affiliate, any information regarding the Company, the Purchased Assets or the Business. The obligation of Seller under this Section 7.5(c) shall not apply to information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of the commitment provided for in this Section 7.5(c); (ii) is required to be disclosed by Law or order of a court or tribunal or other Governmental Authority, or (iii) is required to be disclosed by Seller in connection with the performance of their rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that in any such case, such party shall, to the extent legally permitted, notify Buyer as early as reasonably practicable prior to disclosure to allow Buyer to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such information.

(a) Seller agrees that during a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, it will not, in any manner (whether on its own account, as an owner, operator, manager, consultant, officer, director, employee, investor, agent or otherwise), or permit its Affiliates in any manner, (i) recruit, solicit or otherwise attempt to employ any of the Business Employees, or induce or attempt to induce any Business Employee to leave employment with the Buyer or the Company; provided, that, this Section 7.6 shall not prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from soliciting or hiring any person who responds to a general advertisement or solicitation, including but not limited to advertisements or solicitations through newspapers, trade publications, periodicals, radio or internet database, or efforts by any recruiting or employment agencies, not specifically directed at Business Employees or (ii) intentionally interfere with the relationship between the Company and any employee, customer, sales representative, broker, supplier, licensee or other business relation (or any prospective customer, supplier, licensee or other business relationship) of the Company (including by making any negative or disparaging statements or communications regarding Buyer or the Company or any of their respective operations, officers, directors or investors).

(b) Seller agrees that its obligations under this Section 7.6 are special and unique and that any violation thereof would not be adequately compensated by money damages, and grants the Buyer the right to specifically enforce (including injunctive relief where appropriate) the terms of this Section 7.6.

(c) Seller agrees that the covenants against competition contained in this Section are reasonable and fair in all respects, and are necessary to protect the interests of Buyer. However, in case any one or more of the provisions or parts of a provision contained in this Section shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Section or any other jurisdiction, but this Section shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision or part of a provision had never been contained herein and such provision or part shall be reformed so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties intend that the covenants and agreements contained in this Section shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants and agreements. If, in any legal proceeding, a court or arbitrator shall refuse to enforce all the separate covenants and agreements deemed to be included in this Section, it is the intention of the Parties that the covenants and agreements which, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate covenants and agreements to be enforced in such proceeding shall, for the purpose of such proceeding, be deemed eliminated from the provisions of this Section.

Section 7.7 Insurance.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, (i) Seller, Enterprise or their respective Affiliates may terminate coverage with respect to the Company under any and all insurance policies (including property/casualty) in effect prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Seller Insurance Policies”); (ii) the Seller Insurance Policies will not cover the Company; and (iii) Buyer shall become solely responsible for procuring, maintaining and paying for all insurance policies with respect to the Company.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable, but, in any case, within one (1) Business Day of the Execution Date, Seller shall provide Buyer a list containing the following information with respect to each Business Employee: name, job title or position, date of hire, exempt status, current base compensation, any bonus or other incentive compensation paid in 2017, leave of absence status (e.g., disability, family & medical, and military), visa status (if applicable), list of Benefit Plans in which such individual participates, accrued paid time off and medical deductibles paid in 2018.

(b) Seller shall cause Enterprise to provide Buyer, its Affiliates and its Representatives with reasonable access to the Business Employees at their work locations for the purposes of Buyer and its Affiliates initiating and completing its screening process and discussing offers of employment with Buyer and its Affiliates.

(c) Offers of Employment.

(i) Subject to the further provisions of this Section 7.8, no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Execution Date, Buyer or its Affiliate shall make a written offer of employment to each Business Employee (and promptly provide copies to Seller), which shall provide that for such offer to become effective (x) it must be accepted by the Business Employee no later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, (y) the Closing must occur, and (z) the Business Employee must continue to be an employee of EPCO at the time of the Closing. Buyer shall give written notice to Seller at least four (4) days prior to the Closing Date of each Business Employee who has accepted Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s offer of employment and EPCO shall terminate such Business Employees on the Closing Date.

(ii) The effectiveness of an offer of employment made pursuant to Section 7.8(c)(i) may be conditioned upon each Business Employee satisfactorily passing Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s standard pre-employment screening and testing procedures which procedures shall be completed and the Business Employee notified of such results no later than September 25, 2018 and, with respect to a Business Employee who is on an approved leave of absence due to a disability on the day preceding the Closing Date (on a “Leave”), the effectiveness of such offer may be conditioned on such Business Employee satisfying Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s standard “return to work procedures” and returning to active employment within three months following the Closing Date. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause EPCO, within three (3) Business Days after receiving written consent (in a form reasonably acceptable to EPCO), from the applicable Business Employee (each a “Consenting Business Employee”), to deliver to Buyer a copy of such Consenting Business Employee’s Driver Qualification Files.

(iii) Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s offer of employment to a Business Employee shall provide that if the offer is accepted and becomes effective as provided above, the Business Employee shall be deemed to have become an employee of Buyer or its Affiliate (a “Hired Employee”) effective as of 12:02 AM local time, i.e., where the Business Employee performs his or her primary duties, on the Closing Date or, if he or she is on   Leave, on his or her return to work date as provided above (whichever commencement date is applicable being the Hired Employee’s “Hire Date”).   

(d) Salary and Benefits.   

(i) Buyer or its Affiliate shall (A) provide each Hired Employee on his or her Hire Date with a base salary or hourly base wage (with respect to those Business Employees who are truck drivers, the term “hourly base wage”, as used in this Section 7.8, also includes the driver’s commissions, quarterly I Comp bonus, his/her “quarterly average hourly rate” to be used for benefits and exception pay purposes, and the applicable miscellaneous pay categories), as the case may be, that is not less than his or her base salary or hourly base wage with EPCO immediately prior to the Closing Date and (B) make available to each Hired Employee on his or her all such Benefit Plans that Buyer and its Affiliates make available to their similarly-situated employees (collectively, the “Buyer Benefit Plans”).   

(ii) To the extent permitted by Law, Buyer or its Affiliate shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each applicable Buyer Benefit Plan to credit each Hired Employee, as of his or her Hire Date, for all purposes other than benefit accrual service under a Buyer Benefit Plan that is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA, the service that is credited to such Hired Employee immediately prior to his or her Hire Date under an analogous Benefit Plan of EPCO; provided, however, any such prior service credit that would result in a duplication of benefits may be excluded by Buyer or its Affiliates.   

(iii) Buyer and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (A) each Hired Employee to be eligible to participate in each applicable Buyer Benefit Plan that is a group health plan effective on his or her Hire Date without any waiting time, (B) all pre-existing

condition exclusions of such Buyer Benefit Plan to be waived for the Hired Employee and his or her eligible dependents, unless and to the extent the Hired Employee was subject to such exclusions under an analogous Benefit Plan of EPCO in which such Hired Employee was otherwise eligible to participate immediately prior to his or her Hire Date, and (C) credit (which may include the equivalent monetary value) to be given for all co-payments, deductibles, out-of-pocket costs and similar expenses paid by the Hired Employee pursuant to an analogous Benefit Plan of EPCO during the plan year of such Buyer Benefit Plan in which the Hire Date occurs.   

(iv) Seller shall cause Enterprise to provide Buyer or its Affiliate with all data and information reasonably requested by Buyer or its Affiliate to provide the Hired Employees with the base salary or hourly base wage required by this Section 7.8(d) and to provide the Hired Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries with the service credit and benefits required by this Section 7.8(d).   

(v) Seller shall, or shall cause Enterprise and its Affiliates to, pay each Hired Employee for unused paid time off that such Hired Employee had accrued prior to the Closing Date under EPCO’s paid time off policies or programs. Each Hired Employee will begin accruing vacation and/or paid time off in accordance with Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s applicable policies effective on his or her Hire Date. Enterprise or one of its Affiliates shall pay the Hired Employees all wages earned through the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and shall properly remit all payroll taxes due thereon, and Buyer or its   Affiliates shall pay the Hired Employees all wages earned on and after the Closing Date and, shall properly remit all payroll taxes due thereon.

(f) All workers’ compensation liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from any claim made by a Hired Employee that is based upon an event or an occupational disease that occurs or begins on or after the Hired Employee’s Hire Date shall be the sole liability and obligation of Buyer and its Affiliates. All workers’ compensation liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from any claim made by a Hired Employee that is based upon an event or an occupational disease that occurred or began prior to his or her Hire Date shall be the sole liability or obligation of Seller.   

(g) Buyer and its Affiliates shall have the responsibility and liability for “continuation coverage” to any Hired Employee and his or her “qualified beneficiaries” for whom a “qualifying event” occurs on or after his or her Hire Date. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to those Business Employees who become Hired Employees, Seller and its Affiliates shall have the responsibility and liability for “continuation coverage” to all Business Employees who do not become Hired Employees and their “qualified beneficiaries” for whom a “qualifying event” occurs on, after, or prior to the Closing Date to the extent such Business Employees are entitled to “continuation coverage” by applicable Law. The terms “continuation coverage”, “qualified beneficiaries”, and “qualifying event” shall have the meanings ascribed to them under Section 4980B of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.   

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and its Affiliates shall be responsible for any Liability or responsibility that arises under or is based upon the WARN Act incurred prior to, on the Closing Date or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Enterprise Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, because an employee of EPCO who is a Business Employee on or after the Execution Date (i) does not receive an offer of employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer (as applicable) due to such Business Employee not passing Buyer’s pre-employment screening or (ii) receives and accepts such an offer of employment but is not hired by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, or (iii) the termination of such Business Employee after Closing, to the extent such termination is for-cause, that when aggregated with terminations of other Business Employees prior to or at Closing results in WARN Act Liability.   

(i) Each Hired Employee who has an account under the EPCO 401(k) Plan shall be 100% vested in such account as of the Closing, and permitted to make a direct rollover of such vested account balance, in cash or cash equivalents, including any EPCO 401(k) Plan loan, to a 401(k) plan of Buyer or its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s 401(k) plan.   

(j) Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 7.8 are included solely for the benefit of Buyer and Seller, and that nothing in this Section 7.8, whether express or implied, (i) shall be treated or construed as the adoption, establishment, amendment, modification or termination of any Benefit Plan or (ii) shall create any third party beneficiary or any other rights in any other Person, including any Business Employee.  

Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates is adopting or assuming, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, any Benefit Plan of Seller, Enterprise, EPCO or their Affiliates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Books and Records will be deemed not to include, and Seller and its Affiliates will be entitled to retain, (x) any books, records or other items with respect to which it is not reasonably practicable to identify and extract the portion thereof related primarily to the Business from the portions thereof that relate to other businesses of Seller, Enterprise or any Affiliate of Seller or Enterprise, provided, however, that Seller will make such information available to Buyer and its Representatives during normal business hours and (y) all employment-related records (other than copies of the Driver Qualification Files of Consenting Business Employees to the extent Seller or EPCO are not prohibited by applicable Law from providing such records to the Buyer). Additionally, Buyer is not entitled to the originals or copies of any U.S. federal income Tax Returns or combined franchise Tax Returns filed by Seller or Enterprise or any of their Affiliates.

Immediately prior to and effective as of the Effective Time, Seller shall terminate or cause to be terminated any and all Contracts between Company, on the one hand, and Seller, Enterprise or any Affiliate of Seller or Enterprise, other than Company, on the other hand (such Contracts, “Intercompany Agreements”), other than those Intercompany Agreements set forth in Schedule 7.11(a). Such termination shall be at no cost or expense to Buyer or the Company. No such terminated Intercompany Agreement (including any provision thereof which purports to survive termination) will be of any further force or effect after the Effective Time and all parties to such Intercompany Agreements will be released from all Liabilities thereunder effective as of the Effective Time. Each Party will, at the reasonable request of any other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller agrees that Section 7.11(a) may not be amended or otherwise modified without the written consent of Buyer, which consent Buyer may withhold in its sole discretion.

(b) Seller shall not be liable under Section 10.2(a)(i) unless and until the cumulative aggregate amount of all Losses in respect thereof exceeds One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “Deductible”), in which event Seller shall only be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that Seller shall not be liable under Section 10.2(a)(i) for any individual or series of related Losses which does not exceed Thirty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($37,500) (“De Minimis Losses”), which De Minimis Losses shall not be counted toward the Deductible and in no event shall Seller have any liability hereunder for such De Minimis Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller’s aggregate liability for all Losses resulting from or relating to any Direct Claims made under Section 10.2(a)(i) or third party claims made under Section 10.2(a)(i) shall not exceed One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000) (the “Cap”). The Parties hereby acknowledge that the Cap shall be a single amount applicable to the aggregate of all Direct Claims for indemnification arising under Section 10.2(a)(i) and third party claims for indemnification arising under Section 10.2(a)(i) and that any indemnification payments made in respect of any Direct Claims pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) or third party claims pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) shall reduce the remaining amounts available under the Cap for all such claims.

(c) Each of the Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses in connection with this Agreement.

(d) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be computed net of (i) any insurance or other proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Losses and (ii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment the Indemnified Party received from any other Person with respect to such Loss less any related costs and expenses, including the aggregate cost of pursuing any related insurance claims and any related increases in insurance premiums or other chargebacks (it being agreed that no Party shall have any obligation to seek to recover any insurance proceeds in connection with making a claim under this Article X and that, promptly after the realization of any insurance proceeds, indemnity, contribution or other similar payment, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such reduction in Losses for which the Indemnified Party was indemnified prior to the realization of reduction of such Losses).

(e) The amount of any indemnification payment made by a Party under Article X shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by applicable Law following a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code.

(f) Upon payment of any Losses with respect to a claim pursuant to this Article X, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment (and to recover costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in enforcing such recovery rights against such Person) to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any Person with respect to the subject matter of such claim for indemnification. The Indemnified Party shall assign such rights to and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the cost and expense of Indemnifying Party, to pursue any claims against or otherwise recover amounts from, any Person liable or responsible for any Losses for which indemnification has been received pursuant to this Agreement.

(g) In the event Losses suffered by any Indemnified Party are recoverable under more than one provision of this Agreement and even though an Indemnified Party is permitted to rely on each provision of this Article X independently, any such Indemnified Party shall only be permitted to recover with respect to any particular Losses suffered by it one time as it is the Parties’ intent that recovery by such

particular Indemnified Party for such same Losses under another provision would constitute an unintended and prohibited “double” recovery.

(h) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement if Buyer (if such Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnitee) or Seller (if such Indemnified Party is a Seller Indemnitee) had Knowledge of such breach or inaccuracy as of the Execution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Article X shall not be affected by (i) any investigation or audit conducted on or after the Execution Date or (ii) the knowledge of any Party of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by any other Party at any time with respect to any matters arising or discovered after the Execution Date.

Section 10.5 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to claims based on the Fraud, willful misconduct or Willful Breach of any Party or any Affiliate of any Party, except as otherwise set forth in the proviso in Section 10.8 and except as set forth in Section 11.11, the indemnities provided in this Article X shall, from and after Closing, be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer Indemnitees against Seller and its Affiliates or the Seller Indemnitees against Buyer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, at Law or in equity for all claims whatsoever, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, and including any claims based on negligent misrepresentation, relating to this Agreement and any other document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, the Company, any applicable Law or otherwise; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either Party from seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other Party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer and Seller hereby waive, for themselves and as agent for each of their Affiliates (including the Company), from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims based on Fraud or willful misconduct or claims for equitable relief related to the breach of any covenant or agreement of the Party contained in this Agreement requiring performance after the Closing), whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise (including any claims based on negligent misrepresentation) the other Party or any of its Affiliates may have against it or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors relating to this Agreement and any other document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X. Furthermore, the Parties each hereby acknowledge that (i) this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectation of sophisticated Parties knowledgeable in business and derived from voluntary, arm’s length negotiations; (ii) all Parties to this Agreement specifically acknowledge that no Party has any special relationship with another Party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s length transaction; and (iii) no fiduciary relationship or duty exists between or among Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand.

Section 10.6 Third Party Claims. Each Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any third-party claim which may give rise to any indemnity obligation under this Article X, together with the estimated amount of such claim (if reasonably estimable), and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any such claim through counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to Indemnified Party, by so notifying the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Indemnified Party’s written notice. Failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations hereunder in the absence of actual prejudice. If the Indemnifying Party declines, fails or is not permitted by the terms of this Agreement to assume the defense of such third-party claim within such fifteen (15) day period, the Indemnified Party may employ counsel of its choosing to represent or defend it in any such third-party claim and the Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense assumed by the Indemnifying Party it may do so at its sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control any such defense; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay such Indemnified Party’s expenses if the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party. No Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on a basis which would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree which would restrict the future activity or conduct of the other Party or any Affiliate thereof or if such settlement or compromise does not include an unconditional release of the other Party and its Affiliates for any liability arising out of such claim or demand or any related claim or demand. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or

control the defense of such third-party claim, but shall be able to participate fully and jointly with the Indemnified Party (at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay such Indemnified Party’s expenses if the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party), if: (i) the third-party claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief (except where non-monetary relief is merely incidental to a primary claim or claims for monetary damages); or (ii) the third-party claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the other Party reasonably apprised of the status of any matter the defense of which they are maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.

Section 10.7 Direct Claims. Each Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any claim that does not involve a third-party claim (a “Direct Claim”), which may give rise to any indemnity obligation under this Article X, together with the estimated amount of such Direct Claim (if reasonably estimable).

Section 10.8 Waiver. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Party nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable – under this Agreement, any applicable Law or otherwise – to any other Parties or any of their Affiliates for special, punitive, exemplary, incidental, consequential or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue, income or profits, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Law or otherwise and whether or not arising from the other Party’s or any of its Affiliates’ sole, joint or concurrent negligence, strict liability or other fault; provided, however, that this Section 10.8 shall not limit a Party’s liability for any such damages (i) as a result of Fraud, willful misconduct or Willful Breach or (ii) recovered by third parties against an Indemnified Party in connection with Losses for which indemnification is owed pursuant to Article X.

Section 10.9 Seller Ultimate Cap. Except (a) as a result of fraud, willful misconduct or Willful Breach, (b) for recovery by third parties against an Indemnified Party in connection with Losses for which indemnification is owed pursuant to this Article X or (c) for Losses for which indemnification is owed pursuant to Section 10.2(d) or (e), in no event shall Seller’s and its Affiliates’ aggregate liability for any and all claims whatsoever, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, and including any claims based on negligent misrepresentation, relating to this Agreement (including any claims for indemnification under Section 10.2 (other than claims for indemnification arising under Section 10.2(d) or (e)), or any other document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, the Company or any applicable Law or otherwise, exceed the Purchase Price (the “Seller Ultimate Cap”). The Parties hereby acknowledge that the Seller Ultimate Cap shall be a single amount applicable to the aggregate of all such claims described in the immediately preceding sentence, including any claims for indemnification arising under Section 10.2 (other than claims for indemnification arising under Section 10.2(d) or (e)), and that any payments made in respect of any such claims, including any indemnification payments made pursuant to Section 10.2 (other than claims for indemnification arising under Section 10.2(d) or (e)), shall reduce the remaining amounts available under the Seller Ultimate Cap for all such claims.

Section 10.10 Buyer Ultimate Cap. Except (a) as a result of fraud, willful misconduct or Willful Breach or (b) for recovery by third parties against an Indemnified Party in connection with Losses for which indemnification is owed pursuant to this Article X, in no event shall Buyer and its Affiliates’ aggregate liability for any and all claims whatsoever, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, and including any claims based on negligent misrepresentation, relating to this Agreement (including any claims for indemnification under Section 10.3), or any other document or certificate delivered in connection herewith or therewith, the Company or any applicable Law or otherwise, exceed the Purchase Price (the “Buyer Ultimate Cap”).
