If the Company, a Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information referenced in this Section 5.07(a) by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, the Company or such Shareholder, as applicable, shall promptly notify Parent in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which the Company or such Shareholder, as applicable, is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that the Company or such Shareholder, as applicable, shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

(b) From and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause its or their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the Company and the Shareholders, except to the extent that Parent can show that such information (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Parent, or any of its Affiliates or Representatives; (b) is lawfully acquired by Parent or any of its Affiliates or Representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation or (c) is disclosed without restriction by any Shareholder or their Affiliates. If Parent or its Affiliates or Representatives are compelled to disclose any information referenced in this Section 5.07(b) by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, Parent shall promptly notify Shareholders’ Representative in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Parent is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

Section 5.08 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no Party shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement, provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that Parent may file a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the Contemplated Transactions, and may attach this Agreement thereto.

Section 5.09 Tax Covenants.

(a) Without the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Parent or the Company in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period. The Company and the Shareholders agree that Parent is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of Shareholders, their Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives or, prior to the Closing, the Company, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Parent (and, after the Closing Date, the Company) against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset.

(b) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Shareholders when due. Shareholders shall, at their own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Parent shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(c) Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by Parent to Shareholders (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Shareholders, supporting documentation) at least forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Shareholders object to any item on any such Tax Return, Shareholders shall, within ten (10) calendar days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Parent in writing that Shareholders so object, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Parent and Shareholders shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Parent and Shareholders are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) calendar days after receipt by Parent of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm jointly selected by Parent and Shareholders’ Representative (the “Accounting Referee”) and any determination by the Accounting Referee shall be final. In the event that Parent and Shareholders’ Representative cannot agree on the identity of an Accounting Referee within ten (10) days of the commencement on such efforts to agree, each of Parent and Shareholders’ Representative shall select one party meeting the requirements of an “Accounting Referee” above, and those two parties shall jointly select the party who shall act as the Accounting Referee. The Accounting Referee shall resolve any disputed items within twenty (20) calendar days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Parent and then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by Parent and Shareholders. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Parent.

Section 5.10 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Shareholders and Parent shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to Section 5.09 or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Shareholders and Parent shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other Party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Shareholders or Parent (as the case may be) shall provide the other Party with reasonable written notice and offer the other Party the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

Section 5.11 Further Assurances. Following the Effective Date and following the Closing, or until the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 5.12 Piggy-Back Registration Rights of the Shareholders. For ten years after the Closing, Shareholders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to obtain Securities Act registration of their Parent Common Stock in proportion to, at the same times as, and under the same terms as NCDF, Leone Group, LLC (“Leone”), and American Capital Ventures, Inc. (“ACV”). For example, if ACV becomes entitled for any reason to obtain Securities Act registration of 80% of its holdings of Parent Common Stock, then each Shareholder will become entitled to obtain Securities Act registration of 80% of his/her/its holdings of Parent Common Stock, on the same form, at the same time, and under the same other terms, e.g., market standoff, as those applicable to NDCF, Leone, or ACV. This Section 5.12 does not contemplate or require that any shares of Parent Common Stock, other than the shares underlying the Parent Series A Preferred Stock, will be registered under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event that the Parent undertakes any transaction pursuant to which NCDF, Leone and ACV cease to be shareholders of the Company, then this Section 5.12 shall cease to be of any further force or effect.

Article VII
Default and Termination

Section 7.01 Default by Parent. If Parent fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement, or is in breach in any material respect of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent set forth in this Agreement, and, if such breach or failure is capable of being cured, such failure or breach has not been cured within 10 days after receipt of notice of such breach by Parent, then Parent shall be in default hereunder (such event, a “Parent Default”). In the event of a Parent Default, the Company, on behalf of the Company and the Shareholders, shall be entitled to elect either (1) to bring an action for specific performance of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.13or (2) to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.03(d) and proceed against Parent for payment for expenses as set forth in Section 7.04(b).

(i) the failure of any of the Closing conditions stated in Section 6.01 to occur or to be satisfied;

(a) by mutual written consent of the Company, the Shareholders’ Representative and the Parent;

(b) by any of the Parent, the Company or Shareholders’ Representative, upon written notice to the other Parties, if there shall be in effect a final nonappealable order, judgment, injunction or decree entered by or with any Governmental Authority restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions;

Section 7.04 Termination Costs.

(a) If this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.03(c), and only in that event, then, promptly but in any event within three Business Days following such termination by Parent, the Shareholders shall pay to Parent an amount in cash equal to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s reasonable out of pocket costs incurred with respect to the Contemplated Transactions following the Effective Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Parent, subject to a maximum payment due hereunder of $200,000.

Notwithstanding the forgoing sentence, the Parties agree that Parent may elect to not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.03(c) and instead elect to enforce specific performance of this Agreement under Section 9.13 to the extent available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on remedy stated in the first sentence of this Section 7.04(d) will apply only if Parent elects to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.03(c) and the Company and Shareholders actually pay the termination costs stated in Section 7.04(a).

(e) If a Parent Default occurs and Company elects to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.03(d), the Company’s and the Shareholders’ sole and exclusive remedy against the Parent for any Losses suffered or incurred as a result of or under this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, including the failure of the Closing to occur, will be to obtain payment of the termination costs stated in Section 7.04(b). Notwithstanding the forgoing sentence, the Parties agree that the Company may elect to not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.03(d) and instead elect to enforce specific performance of this Agreement under Section 9.13 to the extent available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on remedy stated in the first sentence of this Section 7.04(e) will apply only if the Company elects to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.03(d) and the Parent actually pays the termination costs stated in Section 7.04(b).

Section 7.05 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VII, this Agreement (other than this Article VII, Article VIII and Article IX) shall become void and of no further force or effect with no liability on the part of any Party; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 7.04(d) and Section 7.04(e), any such termination shall not relieve any Party from liability for actual damages to the other Parties resulting from a material breach of this Agreement by such Party.

Section 8.04 Indemnification Procedures. The Party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the Party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Shareholder, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Indemnified Party, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.04(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.04(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Shareholder and Parent shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.01) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending Party, management employees of the non-defending Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.04(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.04(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

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

(d) Cooperation. Upon a reasonable request made by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

Section 8.05 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its indemnification obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such agreement or adjudication.

Section 8.06 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Shareholders shall not be liable to the Parent Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Company Surviving Representations (the “Parent’s Basket Exclusions”)), until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02(a) (other than those based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Parent’s Basket Exclusions) exceeds $100,000, in which event Shareholders shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of such amount.

(b) Parent shall not be liable to the Shareholder Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.03(a) (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Parent’s Surviving Representations (the “Shareholders’ Basket Exclusions”)) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.03(a) (other than those based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Shareholders’ Basket Exclusions) exceeds $100,000, in which event Parent shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of such amount.

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the maximum liability of the Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Parent, on the other hand, for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII shall be the sum of $1,000,000 (the “Cap”), and neither the Parent, on the one hand, nor the Shareholders, on the other hand, shall have any liability to the other in excess of the Cap.

(d) All liabilities and obligations of the Shareholders that may arise under Section 8.02(a) (“Parent Indemnification Liabilities”), if any, will be satisfied only out of Equity Consideration received by the Shareholders; and each Shareholder will be severally, and not jointly, liable to return, transfer, and assign to Parent, irrevocably, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Equity Consideration, valued at the Assumed Parent Common Stock Value, as is equal in value to such Shareholder’s pro rata share of the Parent Indemnification Liabilities then being paid. Such return, transfer, and assignment will be deemed in full payment and satisfaction of the Parent Indemnification Liabilities with respect to which payment is being made.

(e) Subject to the notice, dispute and other procedures herein, Parties hereby agree that any amounts due to Parent as required to satisfy Shareholders’ indemnification obligations with respect to any claim for Losses required to be paid by the Shareholders pursuant to this Article VIII shall be paid via the delivery by the Shareholders to the Parent of a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (1) the amount owed divided by (2) the Assumed Buyer Common Stock Value, and each Shareholder agrees to return to Parent such Shareholder’s pro rata portion of any such required return of shares of Parent Common Stock.

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.08 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

Section 8.09 Exclusive Remedy. In the event that the Closing occurs, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to the Contemplated Transactions for any and all breaches or alleged breaches of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties hereto or any other provision of this Agreement or arising out of the Contemplated Transactions, except (i) with respect to any equitable remedy to which such Party may be entitled to with respect to any claims or causes of action arising from the breach of any covenants or agreement of a Party that is to be performed subsequent to the Closing Date, or (ii) with respect to a Party, an actual and intentional fraud with respect to this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereto, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and except as otherwise specified in this Article VIII, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any other Party hereto relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any other agreement, certificate or other document or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, arising under or based upon any applicable law.

Section 8.10 Limitation on Damages. In no event will any Party be liable to any other Party under or in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions for special, general, indirect, consequential, or punitive or exemplary damages, including damages for lost profits or lost opportunity, even if the Party sought to be held liable has been advised of the possibility of such damage.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

Section 9.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision herein is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, 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 Contemplated Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

Section 9.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 9.08 No Third-party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VIII, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.09 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by the Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative (which shall bind each Shareholder). No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by such Party or the Shareholders’ Representative on behalf of the Shareholders. No waiver by any Party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver.

Section 9.10 Dispute Resolution.

(a) If there is any dispute or controversy relating to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions (each, a “Dispute”), such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with this Section 9.10, provided that any Disputes relating to any tax Return shall be resolved as set forth in Section 5.09(c).

(b) The Party claiming a Dispute shall deliver to each of the other Parties a written notice (a “Notice of Dispute”) that will specify in reasonable detail the dispute that the claiming Party wishes to have resolved.

If the Company, the Shareholders’ Representative and the Parent are not able to resolve the dispute within five (5) Business Days of a Party’s receipt of an applicable Notice of Dispute, then such Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 9.10.

(c) Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The Company and the Parent shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator, and the three arbitrators shall resolve the Dispute. The arbitrators will be instructed to prepare in writing as promptly as practicable, and provide to the Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative, such arbitrators’ determination, including factual findings and the reasons on which the determination was based. The decision of the arbitrators will be final, binding and conclusive and will not be subject to review or appeal and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties. Each party shall initially pay its own costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, for counsel, experts and presentation of proof) in connection with any arbitration or other action or proceeding brought under this Section 9.10, and the fees of the arbitrators shall be share equally, provided, however, that the arbitrators shall have the power to award costs and expenses in a different proportion.

(d) The arbitration shall be conducted in Denver, Colorado.

Section 9.11 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction).

(b) SUBJECT TO Section 9.10, ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THE COURTS OF THE STATES OF FLORIDA, COLORADO, AND DELAWARE, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.10(c).

Section 9.12 Shareholders’ Representative.

(a) Each Shareholder constitutes and appoints the Shareholders’ Representative as its representative and its true and lawful attorney in fact, with full power and authority in its name and on its behalf:

(i) to act on such Shareholders’ behalf in the absolute discretion of Shareholders’ Representative with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement, including execution and delivery of any amendment, supplement, or modification of this Agreement and any waiver of any claim or right arising out of this Agreement; and

(ii) in general, to do all things and to perform all acts, including executing and delivering all agreements, certificates, receipts, instructions, and other instruments contemplated by or deemed advisable to effectuate the provisions of this Section 9.12.

(b) This appointment and grant of power and authority is coupled with an interest and is in consideration of the mutual covenants made in this Agreement and is irrevocable and will not be terminated by any act of any Shareholder or by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of any Shareholder or by the occurrence of any other event. Each Shareholder hereby consents to the taking of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 9.12. Each Shareholder agrees that Shareholders’ Representative shall have no obligation or liability to any Person for any action taken or omitted by Shareholders’ Representative in good faith, even if taken or omitted negligently, and each Shareholder shall indemnify and hold harmless Shareholders’ Representative from, and shall pay to Shareholders’ Representative the amount of, or reimburse Shareholders’ Representative for, any Loss that Shareholders’ Representative may suffer, sustain, or become subject to as a result of any claim made or threatened against Shareholders’ Representative in his capacity as such.

(c) Parent shall be entitled to rely upon any document or other paper delivered by Shareholders’ Representative as being authorized by Shareholders, and Parent shall not be liable to any Shareholder for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Parent based on such reliance.

(d) Until all obligations under this Agreement shall have been discharged (including all indemnification obligations under Article VIII), Shareholders who, immediately prior to the Closing, are entitled in the aggregate to receive more than fifty percent (50%) of the Merger Consideration, may, from time to time upon notice to Parent, appoint a new Shareholders’ Representative upon the death, incapacity, or resignation of Shareholders’ Representative. If, after the death, incapacity, or resignation of Shareholders’ Representative, a successor Shareholders’ Representative shall not have been appointed by Shareholders within fifteen (15) Business Days after a request by Parent, Parent may appoint a Shareholders’ Representative from among the Shareholders to fill any vacancy so created by notice of such appointment to Shareholders.

Section 9.13 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that (i) provided that Parent does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.03(c), Parent shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which Parent is entitled at law or in equity; and (ii) provided that the Company does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.03(d), the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which the Company is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that specific performance is granted to a Party pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, such Party shall also be entitled to be awarded its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred solely in connection with obtaining such specific performance, together with interest on such amounts from the date of the commencement of such proceeding until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date of the commencement of such proceeding. The preceding sentence will not limit the right or ability of a Party seeking specific performance to recover damages, costs or expenses, under another provision of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document.

Section 9.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement.
