          b. Contingent Cash Consideration. The Contingent Cash Consideration shall be held back by Buyer without interest, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending three hundred sixty (360) days after the Closing Date (the “Hold Back Period”), to secure all obligations of Stockholder to Buyer (whether such obligations are pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement between Buyer and Stockholder) , including but not limited to all of the obligations of Stockholder to Buyer set forth in: (A) Section 3.e hereof entitled Revenues and Proceeds from Payment of Receivables of the Corporations; (B) Section 3.f hereof entitled Accounts Payable of the Corporations; (C) Section 4 hereof entitled Right of Offset Against the Contingent Cash Consideration; and (D) Section 13 hereof entitled Indemnification; Remedies.

Upon the passage of not less than thirty (30) days from receipt of said notice of alleged default from Buyer (unless during such thirty (30) day

period, Buyer shall have received notice from Stockholder that Stockholder has elected to defend the dispute pertaining to an event of default involving a debt or liability), the Buyer may at any time thereafter wholly or partially make offset against and thereby reduce the amount of Contingent Cash Consideration payable to Stockholder hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a “Dispute” (as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement), the provisions of Section 13 of this Agreement applicable to a “Dispute” shall govern, and no offset and reduction against the Contingent Cash Consideration shall occur until the applicable “Dispute” is resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 hereof.

One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000) of the Contingent Cash Consideration, less any amounts previously offset and reduced by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, shall be released to Stockholder on or before that date which is one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date (the “First Partial Release Date”), One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000) of the Contingent Cash Consideration, less any amounts previously offset and reduced by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, shall be released to Stockholder on or before that date which is two hundred forty (240) days after the Closing Date (the “Second Partial Release Date”), and the remaining Contingent Cash Consideration (not released to Stockholder on the First Partial Release Date or Second Partial Release Date), less any amounts previously offset and reduced by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, shall be released to Stockholder on or before that date which is three hundred sixty (360) days after the Closing Date (the “Final Release Date”), provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the right of Buyer to make offset against and reduce the Contingent Cash Consideration shall extend past the First Partial Release Date, Second Partial Release Date and/or Final Release Date in the event: (i) a claim is in dispute at the time of the First Partial Release Date, Second Partial Release Date and/or Final Release Date and, in such instance, the Buyer’s right to make offset against and reduce the Contingent Cash Consideration shall not terminate until after the settlement of such claim or claims; or (ii) the Contingent Cash Consideration to be reduced pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement has not been finally determined and, in such instance, the Buyer’s right to make offset against and reduce the Contingent Cash Consideration shall not terminate until such time as all calculations required by Section 4 hereof have been finally determined and all reductions of the Contingent Cash Consideration required by Section 4 hereof (if any) have been made. In the event the right of offset is extended past the First Partial Release Date, Second Partial Release Date and/or Final Release Date because a claim is in dispute, Contingent Cash Consideration having a value equal to that amount which is 130 percent of the amount of the claim asserted by Buyer shall continue to be held back by Buyer past the First Partial Release Date, Second Partial Release Date and/or Final Release Date until such claim is resolved.
          c. Reductions to Cash Consideration.

          e. Revenues and Proceeds from Payment of Receivables of the Corporations.

Stockholder hereby agrees, and Arcadia Resources, Inc. and RKDA, Inc. in their respective Guaranty Agreements shall be required to agree, that: (A) Stockholder, Arcadia Resources, Inc. and RKDA, Inc. shall be and hereby are jointly and severally liable for all of the accounts payable obligations of each of the Corporations (whether due and owing, not yet due and owing, billed or unbilled, accrued or not accrued or contingent or not contingent), pertaining to the operation of the Business through May 15, 2009, including but not limited to all of the accounts payable listed on the Schedule of Accounts Payable Data attached hereto as Exhibit 6-R, which Stockholder represents and warrants is an accurate and complete list of all of such accounts payable through the close of business on April 30, 2009, with respect to the A/P schedule through April 30, 2009 delivered by Stockholder to Buyer at Closing (the “April 30, 2009 A/P Schedule”), and an accurate and complete list of all of such accounts payable through the close of business on May 15, 2009, with respect to the A/P schedule through May 15, 2009 to be delivered by Stockholder to Buyer post-closing (the “May 15, 2009 A/P Schedule”) (collectively, the “Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations”) and that Exhibit 6-R includes all of the accrued payroll of each of the Corporations through April 30, 2009 (with respect to the April 30, 2009 A/P Schedule) and through May 15, 2009 (with respect to the May 15, 2009 A/P Schedule), and all of the accrued vacation obligations of each of the Corporations through April 30, 2009 (with respect to the April 30, 2009 A/P Schedule) and May 15, 2009 (with respect to the May 15, 2009 A/P Schedule); and (B) Stockholder, Arcadia Resources, Inc. and RKDA, Inc. shall cause the Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations (other than those disputed in good faith without any impact on the respective Businesses of the Corporations, which dispute status shall in no way alter the provisions of this Section 3.f which place sole responsibility for payment of any Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations on Stockholder, Arcadia Resources, Inc. and RKDA, Inc., and not on Buyer) to be paid when due and shall, in any event, pay off and satisfy in full all of such Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations no later than by that date which is ninety (90) days from the Closing Date, as to Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations listed on Exhibit

5


 

6-R, and by that date which is one-hundred ten (110) days from the Closing Date, as to Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations not listed on Exhibit 6-R (that date which is one-hundred ten (110) days from the Closing Date is herein referred to as the “Final Date for A/P Payments”), provided, however, that any portion of the Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations consisting of accrued payroll obligations through May 15, 2009, shall be paid in full by Stockholder or Stockholder’s ultimate parent corporation, Arcadia Resources, Inc., on or before June 15 2009, and any portion of the Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations consisting of accrued vacation obligations through May 15, 2009, shall be paid in full by Stockholder or Stockholder’s ultimate parent corporation, Arcadia Resources, Inc. on or before June 15, 2009, such that all of the employees of each Corporation as of May 16, 2009 will have no accrued payroll owing to any of them by each such Corporation for periods before such date nor will have any accrued vacation owing to them by each such Corporation for periods before such date. In the event Stockholder, Arcadia Resources, Inc. and/or RKDA, Inc. fail to pay in full all Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations by the Final Date for A/P Payments, Buyer shall have the right in the exercise of its sole discretion, but not the obligation, to pay any of the Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations on behalf of Stockholder, Arcadia Resources, Inc. and RKDA, Inc. and make offset against the applicable portion of any Contingent Cash Consideration to be delivered by Buyer to Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.b hereof. In the event of such non-payment by Stockholder, Arcadia Resources, Inc. and/or RKDA, Inc. of all of the Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations by the Final Date of A/P Payments, Buyer shall also have all other remedies set forth in this Agreement or under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after the Final Date for A/P Payments, the Buyer shall at all times have the right to make written demand on the Stockholder to pay any Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations which became known or arose after the Final Date for A/P Payments and, in such event, the Stockholder shall pay the Pre-Existing Accounts Payable Obligations within fifteen (15) business days from the date of receipt of such written demand and shall provide Buyer with such proof of payment as Buyer may reasonably request. Stockholder covenants and agrees to deliver the May 15, 2009 A/P Schedule to Buyer on or before May 31, 2009. Stockholder represents and warrants to Buyer that Stockholder is not aware of any accounts payable obligations incurred after April 30, 2009 through May 15, 2009, which are outside the ordinary course of business or which involve accounts payable obligations of a different type or category than those accounts payable obligations listed on the April 30, 2009 A/P Schedule. Stockholder has disclosed to Buyer that the April 30, 2009 A/P Schedule and the May 15, 2009 A/P Schedule may also include accounts payable data pertaining to business entities other than the Corporations due to the difficulty of separating out and segregating such data.
          g. Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the assets of each Corporation as set forth on Exhibit 3-G, which allocation shall be jointly prepared and agreed to by Buyer and Stockholder and attached to this Agreement no later than by June 30, 2009.

          h. Weekly Reconciliation; Progress Updates on A/P Payoffs. Commencing during the week of May 18, 2009, and weekly thereafter or on such other periodic basis as the parties hereto shall agree, and for so long as is reasonably necessary to accomplish the objectives set forth in this subsection, a representative of the Buyer and representative of the Stockholder shall meet on such basis as they shall decide (whether in person, telephonically or electronically via e-mail) in an effort to reconcile the various obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including without limitation, the allocation of cash in the Corporation, the distribution of proceeds from accounts receivable, the status of payoffs of accounts payable, the settlement and proper allocation of pre-Closing and post-Closing expenses (such as rent and similar expenses), including expenses paid by one party which should properly be allocated to the other party, adjustments for the underpayment of any liabilities which should have been paid in full at Closing, etc. Such representatives may establish whatever procedures and worksheets for such reconciliation as they may reasonably determine. The Stockholder shall prepare and submit to Buyer, on those dates which are thirty (30), sixty (60), ninety (90) and one hundred ten (110) days from the Closing Date, a detailed written status update on the progress made to date in the payment of all of the accounts payable required to be paid off pursuant to Section 3.f hereof (each, an “A/P Status Report”). Stockholder covenants and agrees that each A/P Status Report will confirm to Buyer that Stockholder, Arcadia Resources, Inc. and RKDA, Inc. have been diligent in their efforts to pay off such accounts payable and that such obligated entities have made a reasonable effort to cause such accounts payable to be paid off on a timely basis.
          i. Rossville Billing Center Transition. The terms and conditions set forth on that certain List of Agreements Pertaining to the Rossville Billing Center Transition, attached hereto as Exhibit 3-I, have been agreed to by Stockholder and Buyer, and all of such terms and conditions are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference thereto and made a part hereof. All references to “Arcadia” on Exhibit 3-I shall refer to Stockholder and/or Arcadia Resources, Inc. (as the context shall require or permit), and Stockholder represents to Buyer that Stockholder is the tenant under the current lease pertaining to the Rossville, Indiana Billing Center location, and that Arcadia Resources, Inc. is the current employer of the billing center personnel but has authorized Stockholder to enter into the terms set forth on Exhibit 3-I on its behalf.
          j. Assignment of Rights. Stockholder acknowledges that Stockholder entered into certain material agreements with certain employees of the Corporations rather than have the applicable Corporation enter into such agreements. Stockholder hereby assigns any and all rights (but not obligations) which Stockholder has under any and all employment agreements, confidentiality agreements, non-competition agreements, non-solicitation agreements and any other agreements containing restrictive covenants, which pertain to any current or former employees of any of the three Corporations, including but not limited to that certain Non-Competition Agreement dated as of August 25, 2006, by and among the Stockholder and Darian Byrd a/k/a Herbert Darian Byrd, Jerry Lovell, Donald H. Martinat III, Kathryn Martinat, Harvey Arrington, Jean Arrington a/k/a Imogene Arrington, Randall Strickland and Tonda Strickland (the “2006 Non-Compete Agreement”). Stockholder represents and warrants to Buyer that the

7


 

2006 Non-Compete Agreement is in full force and effect based on the form of such document as of August 25, 2006, that the 2006 Non-Compete Agreement has not been amended or previously assigned, and that the scope of the restrictive covenants set forth in the 2006 Non-Compete Agreement have not been limited or reduced in scope or duration.
          k. Reimbursement of Rent at Winston-Salem Location. After the Closing, Stockholder plans to continue to use, for a short period, a portion of the space at the Winston-Salem, North Carolina, location of a Corporation. In exchange for such use, Stockholder agrees to pay Buyer the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per month (prorated for periods which are less than a full month), with such amount due when rent is due under the applicable Winston-Salem lease agreement. Either party may terminate this arrangement by providing written notice to the other party.
          l. CPAP Supply Inventory. Stockholder represents to Buyer that one of the Corporations maintains CPAP supply inventory (segregated by location) at its Winston-Salem, North Carolina location, including CPAP supply inventory segregated for locations of the Stockholder in the Midwest region of the United States (the “Midwest CPAP Supply Inventory”). On or before the close of business on the Closing Date, Stockholder shall notify Buyer in writing or by e-mail whether or not it has further need for any of the Midwest CPAP Supply Inventory after the Closing Date. If Stockholder discloses to Buyer that it no longer has a need for any of the Midwest CPAP Supply Inventory after the Closing Date (or if Stockholder fails to notify Buyer in writing or by e-mail of such need before the close of business on the Closing Date), the Midwest CPAP Supply Inventory shall be deemed to be owned solely by Buyer as of the Closing Date for no additional consideration. If Stockholder discloses to Buyer before the close of business on the Closing Date that Stockholder has a further need for CPAP supplies, then Buyer agrees to continue to ship CPAP supplies to Stockholder’s Midwest locations (out of the segregated Midwest CPAP Supply Inventory) as Stockholder shall request, at no cost to Stockholder except for related shipping costs, until the earlier of the following dates: (A) the date on which the segregated Midwest CPAP Supply Inventory runs out; or (B) May 31, 2009. After May 31, 2009, Buyer may, in the exercise of its sole discretion, continue to honor Stockholder requests for CPAP supplies but, if Buyer agrees to ship out any CPAP supplies for Stockholder after May 31, 2009, Stockholder agrees to pay Buyer an amount equal to the fair cost of such CPAP supplies plus related shipping costs.
          m. Pitney Bowes Postage Metering Equipment.

Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall evaluate its needs regarding the Pitney Bowes Equipment and, if Buyer determines it has no need for the Pitney Bowes Equipment at a particular location, Buyer will notify Stockholder of that fact and Stockholder shall retrieve the applicable Pitney Bowes Equipment and assume any related lease obligations or, in the case of the month to month leases, shall have Buyer return the applicable Pitney Bowes Equipment to Pitney Bowes at Stockholder’s expense. In the event Buyer decides to keep any

8


 

Pitney Bowes Equipment, Buyer shall assume the related lease obligations and agrees to execute any documents required to reflect such assumption.
     4. Right of Offset Against the Contingent Cash Consideration. In addition to any other rights of offset or reduction set forth in this Agreement, in the event that: (i) any of the Corporations have any debts or liabilities of any kind as of the Effective Date, other than the debts and liabilities of each such Corporation described on, and not in excess of the dollar amounts listed on, the Schedule of Liabilities attached hereto as Exhibit 6-D (the “Liabilities Deficiency”), or (ii) any of the Corporations have, since January 31, 2009, made expenditures or incurred obligations or liabilities, except in the ordinary course of business; discharged or satisfied any liens or encumbrances, except in the ordinary course of business; declared or made any payment or distribution (excluding inter-company cash transactions in the ordinary course of business) to Stockholder or purchased or redeemed any of its common capital stock or agreed to do so; mortgaged, pledged or subjected to lien or encumbrance any of its assets; sold or transferred any assets, except in the ordinary course of business; suffered any damage or loss (whether or not covered by insurance), materially affecting its properties; waived any rights of substantial value; or entered into any transaction other than in the ordinary course of business (the “Subsequent Event Deficiency”), or (iii) any debts, liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) (the “Obligations”), other than those subject to subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 4, become known, are uncovered or arise after the Effective Date, which Obligations pertain to any actions, omissions, debts, liabilities or obligations of any of the Corporations or Stockholder, created or arising on or before the Effective Date (said Obligations are hereinafter referred to as the “Contingent Liability”) (a Liabilities Deficiency, Subsequent Event Deficiency or Contingent Liability is sometimes herein referred to as a “Claim”); then, and in any of such events, Buyer shall have the right, during the Hold Back Period (or after the Hold Back Period if permitted under Section 3.b.ii hereof), to make offset against the Contingent Cash Consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.b hereof, in amounts from time to time equal to any Liabilities Deficiency, Subsequent Event Deficiency or Contingent Liability which becomes known, is uncovered or arises during the three hundred sixty (360) day period after the Closing Date (subject, however, in the event of a “Dispute”, to the provisions of Section 13 hereof applicable to a “Dispute”). During the three hundred sixty (360) day period following the Closing Date, in the event Buyer makes written request to Stockholder hereunder for Stockholder to pay any Liabilities Deficiency, Subsequent Event Deficiency or Contingent Liability, and Stockholder fails to make the requested payment within thirty (30) days from the date of such written request (said thirty (30) day period hereinafter referred to as the “Notice Period”), Buyer shall have the right to make offset against and reduce the Contingent Cash Consideration, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.b hereof, in amounts from time to time equal to the amount of any Liabilities Deficiency, Subsequent Event Deficiency or Contingent Liability which becomes known, is uncovered or arises during the three hundred sixty (360) day period following the Closing Date (subject, however, in the case of a “Dispute”, to the provisions of Section 13 hereof applicable to a “Dispute”), and Stockholder agrees to allow Buyer to make offset against and reduce the Contingent Cash Consideration as provided in this Agreement.

the contrary, the rights of offset shall extend past the First Partial Release Date, Second Partial Release Date and/or Final Release Date (the “Applicable Release Date”) in the event a Claim is in dispute at the time of the Applicable Release Date and, in such instance, the right of offset shall not terminate until after the settlement of such Claim or Claims. In the event the right of offset is extended past the Applicable Release Date because a Claim is in dispute, that amount of Contingent Cash Consideration equal to the amount of such claim, plus a reserve equal to 30% of the amount of such Claim, shall continue to be held back by Buyer past the Applicable Release Date until such Claim is resolved, with the remaining Contingent Cash Consideration released to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the Applicable Release Date. Subject to Section 13 hereof, Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement from Stockholder of the amount of any reasonable legal fees and expenses (including court costs and the costs of appeal) incurred by Buyer to enforce the collection of amounts owed Buyer by Stockholder hereunder, provided Buyer is the prevailing party in any such collection action; however, if Stockholder is the prevailing party in any such collection action, Stockholder shall be entitled to reimbursement from Buyer of the amount of any reasonable legal fees and expenses (including court costs and the costs of appeal) incurred by Stockholder to defend itself in such collection action.

Any Tax imposed on any of the Corporations or Stockholder as a result of the Section 338(h)(10) Election shall be the responsibility of and be paid by Stockholder. Stockholder further will be responsible for preparing and filing, and paying any tax liability relating to, all income or franchise tax returns relating to periods ending on or before the Effective Date.

27


 

such insurance in connection with any indemnity claim but no such requirement to make such claim for insurance shall delay, hinder, avoid or prevent Buyer from asserting or pursuing any indemnification claim against the Stockholder pursuant to this Section 13 and to recover Damages from the Stockholder.
               ii. Pre-Closing Liabilities. The term “Pre-Closing Liabilities” as used herein shall mean (A) any claim, debt, liability or obligation of any of the Corporations of any kind (whether known or unknown, accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) which becomes known, is uncovered or arises on or after the Closing Date but which pertains to any actions, omissions, debts, liabilities, obligations, or, to the extent occurring before the Closing Date, facts and events, of any such Corporation, created or arising before the Closing Date, and (B) any claim against any of the Corporations for liability which pertains to or arises from services provided by any of the Corporations prior to the Closing Date, except, as to (A) and (B): (a) liabilities incurred after the Last Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business that did not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Business of the Corporations, assets, results of operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Corporations as of the Closing Date; and (b) liabilities and obligations the responsibility for which has been specifically addressed by the Parties in this Agreement.
          d. Remedies.
               i. Buyer’s Remedies. In the event Buyer makes written request to Stockholder for the payment of Damages and Stockholder fails to make the requested payment within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of such written request (said thirty (30) day period hereinafter referred to as the “Stockholder Notice Period”), Buyer shall have the right, in the exercise of its sole discretion, to either (I) make offset against the Contingent Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 3.b hereof; or (II) require Stockholder to pay Buyer the full amount of such Damages in cash within the twenty (20) day period following the applicable Stockholder Notice Period (and Stockholder shall be liable for such amount and for the payment of such amount in full during such period); provided, however, that Stockholder shall have the option of disputing the validity of the claim or liability giving rise to the Damages (the “Stockholder Disputed Claim”) by providing written notice to Buyer of such dispute within the Stockholder Notice Period. The dispute between Buyer and Stockholder shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to Section 13.e hereof. In the event Stockholder accepts responsibility for a Stockholder Disputed Claim involving a third party but desires to contest such Stockholder Disputed Claim and assume all responsibility for the ultimate outcome thereof, Stockholder shall defend the Stockholder Disputed Claim pursuant to Section 13.f hereof and shall be liable to Buyer for any and all Damages resulting therefrom.
               ii. Stockholder’ Remedies. In the event Stockholder make written request to Buyer for the payment of Damages and Buyer fails to make the requested payment within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of such written request (said thirty (30) day period hereinafter referred to as the “Buyer Notice Period”), Stockholder shall have the right to require Buyer to pay Stockholder the full amount of such Damages in cash within the twenty (20) day period following the applicable Buyer Notice Period (and Buyer shall be liable for such amount and for the payment of such amount in full during such period); provided, however, that

28


 

Buyer shall have the option of disputing the validity of the claim or liability giving rise to the Damages (the “Buyer Disputed Claim”) by providing written notice to Stockholder of such dispute within the Buyer Notice Period. The dispute between Buyer and Stockholder shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to Section 13.e hereof. In the event Buyer accepts responsibility for a Buyer Disputed Claim involving a third party but desires to contest such Buyer Disputed Claim and assume all responsibility for the ultimate outcome thereof, the Buyer shall defend the Buyer Disputed Claim pursuant to Section 13.f hereof and shall be liable to Stockholder for any and all Damages resulting therefrom.
          e. Arbitration. In the event settlement of a Buyer Disputed Claim or Stockholder Disputed Claim (a “Dispute”) is required to be resolved by arbitration, such arbitration shall be commenced by written notice from the party claiming such Dispute to the other party that such party has elected to have such Dispute settled by arbitration. Any Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in Orlando, Florida and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, under the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules (whereby if three arbitrators are to be selected, each of the Parties selects one and the arbitrators so selected choose the third) of the American Arbitration Association (“the Association”). The arbitration shall be held at a mutually agreeable location in Orlando, Florida and conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators (if the amount in dispute exceeds $100,000) or by a single arbitrator (if the amount in dispute is equal to or less than $100,000). Not later than ten (10) days after the delivery of a written notice of a Dispute, the parties shall submit the matter to the Association. Not later than ten (10) days after the arbitrator(s) are appointed, the arbitrator(s) shall schedule the arbitration for a hearing to commence on a mutually convenient date. The hearing shall commence no later than thirty (30) days after the arbitrator(s) are appointed. The arbitrator(s) shall issue his, her or their award in writing no later than twenty (20) calendar days after the conclusion of the hearing. In the event the Dispute which is the subject of the arbitration involves a claim by a third party, the party or parties against whom the claim was made shall be responsible for taking sufficient legal action to protect such party’s interest until such time as the arbitrator(s) shall have decided which of Buyer or Stockholder is the responsible party. Immediately upon the responsible party being determined by the arbitrator(s), the responsible party shall take control of resolving the claim pursuant to Section 13.f hereof and shall reimburse the other party for any reasonable expenses incurred by such party prior to taking such control.
          f. Right to Defend. In the event a party hereto elects to take responsibility for defending either a Stockholder Disputed Claim or Buyer Disputed Claim pursuant to Section 13.d hereof, such party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall defend, contest or otherwise protect against such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding at its own cost and expense, and the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) must cooperate in any such defense or other action. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in the defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense (but shall keep the Indemnified Party informed as to the progress of the case and, if requested by the Indemnified Party, shall consult with the Indemnified Party as to the defenses intended to be asserted, the litigation strategies intended to be implemented and the settlement terms intended to be offered) unless the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter or the Indemnifying Party

29


 

fails to assume defense of the matter. In the event both the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party are parties to the action, the Indemnifying Party shall take immediate steps to attempt to have the applicable arbitor dismiss Indemnified Party from such action. If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend, contest or otherwise protect in a timely manner against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same and make any monetary compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire cost thereof from the Indemnifying party including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding or the compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party must send a written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any such proposed settlement or compromise.
     14. Expenses. The Buyer and Stockholder will each be solely responsible for and shall bear all of its own respective costs and expenses, including, without limitation, expenses of legal counsel, accountants and other advisers, incurred at any time in connection with pursuing or consummating this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and no such fees of Stockholder or any of the Corporations shall be borne or accrued by any of the Corporations.
     15. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or modified at any time and in all respects, or any provisions may be waived by an instrument in writing executed by the Buyer and Stockholder, or either of them in the case of a waiver.
     16. Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any right created hereby shall be assignable by Stockholder or the Buyer without the prior written consent of the other, except for an assignment incident to a merger, consolidation or reorganization.
