(b) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a signatory do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not, constitute or result in: (i) (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a breach or violation of, or a default under, Buyer’s certificate of formation or operating agreement or other governing documents, or (ii) (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a breach or violation or a conflict with, or a default under, or the termination of, or the acceleration under, any contract, debt, obligation, governmental or non-governmental permit or license to which Buyer is a party or to or by which it is subject or bound; except, in the case of clause (ii) of this Section 4.2(b), for any violation, default or acceleration, that, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent, materially delay or materially impair Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements to which it is a signatory.

Section 4.8 Diligence.

(a) By reason of its or its management’s business or financial experience, Buyer has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that its purchase of the KPS Shares and the KMS Shares, as the case may be, is highly speculative and entails a substantial degree of risk. Buyer acknowledges that Buyer has received any information requested by Buyer for Buyer to make a decision to purchase the Shares. Buyer has had an opportunity to discuss the business, management and financial affairs of the Company Group with Seller, the Company Group and their respective representatives and has had the opportunity to review the operations, assets and liabilities, and facilities of the Company Group.

(b) Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and is consummating this Agreement and the actions contemplated hereby with a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks and willingly accepts, adopts and assumes those terms, conditions and risks subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements.

(c) Buyer has made its own decision to consummate the transaction based on its own independent review and consultations with such investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers as it deemed necessary and upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. Buyer has made its own decision concerning the transaction without reliance on any representation or warranty of, or advice from, Seller except as set forth in this Agreement and in the other Transaction Agreements.

(d) Buyer acknowledges and understands that Seller, its Affiliates and officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors of Seller or its Affiliates possess material non-public information not known to Buyer that may impact the value of the Shares (the “Information”) that Seller may not have disclosed to Buyer. Buyer understands, based on its experience, the disadvantage to which Buyer is subject due to the disparity of information between Buyer and Seller. Notwithstanding this, Buyer has deemed it appropriate to engage in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Buyer agrees that none of Seller, its Affiliates, any officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors of Seller or its Affiliates or any other person shall have any liability to Buyer, its Affiliates (including Michael P. Duloc and following the Closing Date, the Company Group) or any third party whatsoever due to or in connection with the use or non-disclosure of the Information, and Buyer hereby irrevocably waives any claim that it might have based on the failure of Seller, its Affiliates or officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors of Seller or its Affiliates to disclose the Information.

(f) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller is relying on Buyer’s representations, warranties and agreements herein as a condition to proceeding with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without such representations, warranties and agreements, Seller would not engage in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.10 Acknowledgements Regarding the Condition of Company Group. Buyer understands and acknowledges the following:

(a) Buyer has reviewed the information, documents and materials furnished or made available to Buyer by Seller or its representatives in certain “data rooms”, management discussions or presentations or any other form in contemplation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(b) Buyer has reviewed the filings made by AMREP Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the past three years (including any risk factors contained therein), which contain information regarding the Company Group;

(c) the Company Group distributes physical publications in the United States of America, Canada and in other countries and the industry in which the Company Group operates is highly competitive and financially challenged, with severe and consistent declines in the volume of print media being distributed resulting in significant decreases in revenue year over year;

(d) the Company Group has substantial liabilities in excess of its assets, including a substantial amount of negative working capital (negative working capital represents the net payment obligation of the Company Group due to publisher clients and other third parties, which amount will vary from period to period based on the level of magazine distribution);

(e) cash flow of the Company Group may vary dramatically, and may be negative, during any particular period of time, thereby requiring the availability of financing sources other than cash flow from operations to meet its payment obligations;

(f) the Company Group regularly has cash expenditures in excess of cash collections;

(g) revenues of the Company Group are derived from sales made on a fully returnable basis and an error in estimating expected returns could cause a misstatement of revenues for the period affected;

(h) the Company Group is party to litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company Group;

(i) the financial statements of the Company Group had intercompany amounts allocated from, billed to or charged to Seller and its Affiliates (some of which are legal liabilities or assets and some of which are allocated amounts not representing legal liabilities or assets) and such amounts have been transferred, offset and contributed in accordance with the Intercompany Amount Agreement prior to the Closing;

(j) the Company Group could experience increased costs and business disruption if any wholesaler on which the Company Group relies to distribute publications were to cease operations or fail to pay amounts owed to the Company Group, which has happened frequently over the past few years;

(k) the Company Group relies on a small number of large publishing clients, including an Affiliate of Seller, and in the event of a loss of one or more of these large publishing clients, or if revenues from any of these largest clients decline, the Company Group could be materially adversely affected;

(l) publisher clients of the Company Group face business pressures from reduced advertising revenues and increased costs for paper, printing and postal rates, which could have a negative effect on their operating income, and this in turn could negatively affect the operations of the Company Group;

(m) the Company Group and Seller and its Affiliates have certain shared services and assets, including insurance, information technology, employee benefit plans, leased real estate, line of credit and letters of credit, all of which will cease to be available to the Company Group as of the date of this Agreement and all of which the Company Group and Buyer will need to address following Closing, other than as may be provided in the Lease, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements including without limitation the Transition Services Agreement or the Line of Credit Note;

(n) certain agreements to which the Company Group is a party may contain provisions requiring the consent of the counterparty in connection with the sale of the KPS Shares or the KMS Shares, as the case may be, to Buyer, and the absence of such consent may be a default under such agreements allowing the counterparty to terminate their agreement with the Company Group; and

(o) the employees of the Company Group, including its management team, are integral to the operation of the business of the Company Group, and such employees are not subject to any non-solicitation or non-competition agreements in favor of the Company Group.

Section 4.11 No Knowledge of Misrepresentations or Omissions. Buyer does not have any knowledge that any of the representations and warranties of Seller made in this Agreement are not true and correct.

DULOC AND, FOLLOWING THE CLOSING DATE, THE COMPANY GROUP), ANY OTHER BUYER INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR (A) ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, STATUTORY, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOSS OF USE, DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, OR (B) ANY INDEMNIFICATION CLAIM THAT ARISES (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) FROM ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, STATUTORY, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOSS OF USE, DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, IN EACH CASE OF CLAUSE (A) AND CLAUSE (B) REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT SELLER, ITS AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ADVISORS OF SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR (II) THE LIABILITY OF SELLER, ITS AFFILIATES (WHICH, FOLLOWING THE CLOSING DATE, SHALL NOT INCLUDE THE COMPANY GROUP), ANY OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ADVISORS OF SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OTHER PERSON ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS OR OTHERWISE TO BUYERS, THEIR AFFILIATES (INCLUDING MICHAEL P.

(ii) BUYERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS, NO BUYER INDEMNIFIED PERSON MAKES ANY COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (I) WITH RESPECT TO ANY MEMBER OF THE COMPANY GROUP, THEIR RESPECTIVE OPERATIONS, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE SHARES OR (II) AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION REGARDING ANY MEMBER OF THE COMPANY GROUP FURNISHED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYERS AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUYERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. None of Seller, its Affiliates, the Company Group, any officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors of Seller, its Affiliates or the Company Group or any other Person shall have or be subject to any liability to Buyers or any other Person with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any information, documents or materials furnished or made available to Buyers or any other Person by Seller, its Affiliates, the Company Group or any officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors of Seller, its Affiliates or the Company Group in certain “data rooms”, management discussions or presentations, filings of AMREP Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, communications with Buyers or their counsel or other advisors or any other form in contemplation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iii) The amount which Seller is required to pay to, for or on behalf of any Buyer Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be adjusted (including, retroactively) by any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by or on behalf of such Buyer Indemnified Person in reduction of the related indemnifiable Loss. Each Buyer Indemnified Person agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue and collect on any recovery with respect to any indemnifiable Loss available under any insurance policies. If a Buyer Indemnified Person shall have received from Seller or Seller shall have had paid on its behalf a payment in respect of a Loss indemnified under this Section 6.1 and such Buyer Indemnified Person shall subsequently receive insurance proceeds or other payment in respect of such Loss, then such Buyer Indemnified Person shall pay to Seller the amount of such insurance proceeds or other payment or, if lesser, the amount of the original payment made by Seller to or on behalf of Buyer Indemnified Person in respect of such Loss. To the extent that any Buyer Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.1, Seller shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that any Buyer Indemnified Person may have to insurance policies or similar contracts with respect to which such Buyer Indemnified Person is a beneficiary.

(iv) The amount of any indemnity provided in Section 6.1 shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any actual net reduction in cash payments for Taxes realized by any Buyer Indemnified Person as a result of the Losses giving rise to such indemnity claim. If the indemnity amount is paid prior to any Buyer Indemnified Person realizing any actual reduction in cash payments for Taxes in connection with the Losses giving rise to such payment, and such Buyer Indemnified Person subsequently realizes such actual reduction in cash payments for Taxes, then such Buyer Indemnified Person shall pay the amount of such actual reduction in cash payments for Taxes (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments paid by Seller with respect to such Losses) to Seller.

(v) Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive rights and remedies with respect to any and all matters arising out of, relating to or connected with this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement, any of the Company Group or their respective assets and liabilities, any of the Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective assets and liabilities, the Shares or the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 6, except as provided for in Section 8.13. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including Michael P. Duloc and, following the Closing Date, the Company Group)) hereby waives, from and after the Closing Date, any and all rights, remedies, claims and causes of action with respect to the foregoing except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 6 and except as provided for in Section 8.13.

(vi) No fact, event, misrepresentation or occurrence that, in the absence of this Section 6.1(f)(iv), would constitute a liability to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(d) shall be deemed to constitute a liability to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(d) for which any Buyer Indemnified Person would be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(d) if any Buyer Indemnified Person has actual knowledge of such fact, event, misrepresentation or occurrence on or prior to the Closing Date.

(vii) Each Buyer agrees that, for so long as such Buyer has any right of indemnification under Section 6.1, it will not, and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its Affiliates (including Michael P. Duloc and, following the Closing Date, the Company Group)) do not, voluntarily or by discretionary action (including conducting any invasive sampling or testing), accelerate the timing, or increase the cost, of any obligation of Seller under Section 6.1 (any such voluntary or discretionary action, a “Prohibited Action”); provided, however that the “Prohibited Action” shall not be deemed to include any action which in the written opinion of Buyer’s legal counsel is required to be taken in order to be in compliance with applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person for any Loss arising out of or by reason of or in connection with or due to any Prohibited Action.

(viii) No Losses of any Buyer Indemnified Person shall be determined or increased based on any multiple of any financial measure (including earnings, sales or other benchmarks) that might have been used by Buyers in the valuation of the Company Group or their respective business and operations.

Section 6.2 Indemnification by Buyers.

(a) Subject to the limits set forth in this Section 6.2, each Buyer agrees to indemnify and defend each Seller Indemnified Person, and hold each Seller Indemnified Person harmless, from and in respect of any and all Losses that they may incur or suffer arising out of or by reason of or in connection with or due to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of any Buyer Indemnified Person set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, (ii) the extent caused by the failure to perform any of the covenants or agreements of any Buyer Indemnified Person set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, and (iii) any Buyer Indemnified Person or any of the business or operations of any Buyer Indemnified Person (except as specifically enumerated in Section 6.1 as an item for which Seller will indemnify Buyer Indemnified Persons).

(i) any Seller Indemnified Party being requested or required to surrender or return any amount of the Purchase Price to any Person for any reason relating to the Structure Change, including as a result of any claim by any creditor, bankruptcy estate or trustee or Governmental Entity; provided that, a Notice of Claim with respect thereto was delivered to Buyers on or prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the date of this Agreement with respect to claims for fraudulent conveyance or an improper or unlawful dividend and fifteen (15) months after the date of this Agreement with respect to all other claims;

Except where a period of time is specified for the delivery of a Notice of Claim, Buyers shall have no liability under this Section 6.2(b) for any Incremental Losses as to which a Notice of Claim was not delivered to Buyers prior to the two (2) year anniversary of the date of this Agreement, other than for Incremental Losses with respect to (x) any audit, litigation or legal proceeding under Section 6.2(b)(iii) relating to Taxes and (y) under Section 6.2(b)(iv), in either case as to which a Notice of Claim was not delivered to Buyers on or prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(i) EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO SECTION 5.8, (i) IN NO EVENT SHALL BUYERS, THEIR AFFILIATES INCLUDING MICHAEL P. DULOC (WHICH FOLLOWING THE CLOSING DATE, SHALL ALSO INCLUDE THE COMPANY GROUP), ANY OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ADVISORS OF BUYERS OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OTHER PERSON BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS OR OTHERWISE TO SELLER OR ANY SELLER INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR (A) ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, STATUTORY, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOSS OF USE, DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, OR (B) ANY INDEMNIFICATION CLAIM THAT ARISES (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) FROM ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, STATUTORY, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOSS OF USE, DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, IN EACH CASE OF CLAUSE (A) AND CLAUSE (B) REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT BUYERS, THEIR AFFILIATES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION MICHAEL P.

Section 6.3 Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event that any claim or demand, or other circumstance or state of facts which could give rise to any claim or demand, for which an Indemnifying Party may be liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted or sought to be collected by a third party (“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall as soon as practicable notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third Party Claim (“Notice of Claim”). The Notice of Claim shall (i) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates that it will incur liability for Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the indemnified claim to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall enclose with the Notice of Claim a copy of all papers served with respect to such Third Party Claim, if any, and any other documents evidencing such Third Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have 30 days from the date on which the Indemnifying Party received the Notice of Claim to notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party desires to assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice and at its sole cost and expense (a “Third Party Defense”). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the Third Party Defense in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim but the Indemnifying Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement provides for equitable relief without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Losses from Third Party Claims and will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the Third Party Defense, such Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the Third Party Defense within 30 days of receipt of the Notice of Claim, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to assume the Third Party Defense, at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense (or, if the Indemnified Party incurs a Loss with respect to the matter in question for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2, as applicable, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party; provided that the (i) Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the Third Party Defense at its sole cost and expense, but the Indemnified Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof; (ii) the Indemnifying Party may at any time thereafter assume the Third Party Defense, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel incurred prior to the assumption by the Indemnifying Party of the Third Party Defense, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 6.4 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party in writing promptly of its discovery of any matter subject to indemnification under this Article 6 that does not involve a Third Party Claim, such notice to contain the information set forth in the following sentence. The Notice of Claim shall (i) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates that it will incur liability for Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and, in the case of Buyer Indemnified Parties, the nature of the indemnified claim to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party does not acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses within 30 days after its receipt of the Notice of Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to it under this Agreement. The Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Losses from such claims and will act in good faith in responding to or otherwise dealing with such claims. The Indemnified Party will reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation will include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.

Section 6.5 Payment of Losses. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party in this Agreement to indemnify, defend and hold harmless shall include without limitation the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to pay and reimburse the Indemnified Party for Losses (in each case, subject to the restrictions, limitations and agreements in this Agreement) for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article 6, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligation within ten (10) days by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If an Indemnifying Party shall not make full payment of any such obligation within such ten (10) day period, any amount not paid shall accrue interest from and including the date such payment was due until the date such payment is made, at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%).

Section 6.6 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties shall treat any indemnification payment made hereunder as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(b) Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts of the Southern District of New York or the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.

Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in federal courts of the Southern District of New York or the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Section 8.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Execution and delivery of this Agreement by delivery of a facsimile or electronically recorded copy in .pdf file format bearing a copy of the signature of a Party shall constitute a valid and binding execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Party.

Section 8.8 Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (and, to the extent provided in Article 6, the other Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
