then, in each case, provided that the Buyer makes a written claim for indemnification against the Company within the applicable Indemnification Period, the Selling Shareholders (collectively, the “Company Indemnifying Parties”) agree (subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.2(b)) to, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Buyer and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, representatives and agents (collectively the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against the entirety of any Damages the Buyer Indemnified Parties may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Damages the Buyer Indemnified Parties may suffer through and after the end of the applicable Indemnification Period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any breach (or alleged breach) of the foregoing.
(b)    Deductible. Except for breaches of the representations and warranties that would constitute fraud in the inducement or breaches of any of the Seller Fundamental Representations, the Company Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 7.2(a)(i) until the Buyer Indemnified Parties have suffered Damages in excess of $180,000 in respect of all claims, whether related or unrelated, in the aggregate (at which point the Company Indemnifying Parties will be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against all Damages incurred by Buyer that exceed such deductible).
(c)    Limitation of Liability. Other than with respect to claims based on fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or claims based on the breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, (i) the maximum aggregate Liability of any Selling Shareholder under this Section 7.2 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of any punitive, incidental, consequential, special, indirect or similar forms of Damages recoverable hereunder) is equal to the product of such Selling Shareholder’s Purchase Price Percentage and the Consideration, and (ii) no Selling Shareholder shall have any indemnification obligation under this Section 7.2 in respect of Damages solely attributable to the breach or failure to perform of any other Selling Shareholder (each, a “Direct Selling Shareholder Claim”).

-46-



(d)    Exclusive Remedy. It is specifically agreed that, subsequent to the Closing, other than with respect to claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the Selling Shareholders’ liability in relation to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is exclusively governed by this Agreement and that no remedy whatsoever under any other statute, law or legal principle, shall be available to the Buyer against any Selling Shareholder except as expressly provided in this Section 7.2 (and subject to Section 7.5(a)).
SECTION 7.3      Indemnification by the Buyer. Provided that the Selling Shareholders make a written claim for indemnification against the Buyer within the survival period set forth in Section 7.1, the Buyer agrees to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against, and agrees to hold them harmless from, any and all Damages the Selling Shareholders may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Damages the Selling Shareholders may suffer through and after the end of the applicable Indemnification Period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by (i) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, any agreement, or instrument contemplated hereby, any document relating hereto or thereto or contained in any exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement; (ii) any breach of or failure by the Buyer to perform any agreement, covenant or obligation of the Buyer set out in this Agreement, any agreement, or instrument contemplated hereby, any document relating hereto or thereto or contained in any exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement; and (iii) any obligations and Liabilities in respect of the Company from and after the Closing Date.
SECTION 7.4      Third-Party Claims.
(a)    If any third party shall notify any party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article VII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced. For purposes of this Section 7.4, in all instances where the Indemnifying Party would be any Selling Shareholder, the term “Indemnifying Party” shall be limited to the Management Parties who are Selling Shareholders.
(b)    Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 15 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom

-47-



or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.
(c)    So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.4(b) above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party will not 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 (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will not 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 Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).
(d)    In the event any of the conditions in Section 7.4(b) above is or becomes unsatisfied in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the reasonable costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article VII.
SECTION 7.5      Other Indemnification Provisions.
(a)    The liability of any party under this Article VII shall be in addition to, and not exclusive of any other liability that such party may have at law or equity based on a party’s fraudulent acts or omissions. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any defenses which may be available in respect of actions or claims for fraud, including but not limited to, defenses of statutes of limitations or limitations of damages.
(b)    Each Selling Shareholder hereby agrees that he will not make any claim for indemnification against the Company by reason of the fact that he or she was a director, manager, officer, employee, or agent of any such entity or was serving at the request of any such entity as a partner, member, trustee, director, manager, officer, employee, or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses, or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand brought by the Buyer against the Selling Shareholder (whether such action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable Law, or otherwise).
(c)    Indemnification claims shall be reduced, by and to the extent, that an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive proceeds under insurance policies, risk sharing pools, or similar arrangements specifically as a result of, and in compensation for, the subject matter of an indemnification claim by such Indemnified Party, net of any increased premiums or similar costs arising out of the making of such claims against such arrangements; provided, however, that indemnification claims shall not be reduced by Tax benefits, if any.

-48-



(d)    Other than as paid in connection with a Third Party Claim, in no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, except in each case to the extent any such damage or loss was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of such breach or alleged breach.
(e)    Each Selling Shareholder hereby waives and releases on behalf of each person providing indemnification under this Article 9 any and all rights that such person may have under this Agreement or otherwise to assert claims of contribution against the Company or its Affiliates from and after the Closing.
SECTION 7.6      Payment of Indemnified Amounts.
(a)    Buyer agrees that to the fullest extent permitted by Law, after the Closing and with respect to any claim or cause of action asserted by Buyer relating to or arising from breaches of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company or the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement Buyer will first take any amounts owed to the Buyer by the Company Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Article VII from the Holdback Amount. The Holdback Amount shall be the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy until the Holdback Amount is completely depleted, at which point, subject to Section 7.2(c), the Buyer shall look to collect in cash any additional amounts owed hereunder from the Company Indemnifying Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, any Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from any portion of, or all of, the Holdback Amount in respect of any claim made by any such Buyer Indemnified Party against any Company Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VII, notwithstanding that the Company Indemnifying Parties are severally, but not jointly liable to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties hereunder. The parties hereto further agree that notwithstanding the several and not joint liability of the Company Indemnifying Parties under this Article VII, each Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek recourse hereunder against any one, some, or all of the Company Indemnifying Parties in accordance with the terms hereof.
SECTION 7.7     Shareholders’ Representative.
(a)    Each of the Company Indemnifying Parties appoints Brandt as the Shareholders’ Representative, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, and in such capacity to serve as the Company Indemnifying Parties’ agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact with the powers and authority as set forth in this Agreement, and the Shareholders’ Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be the exclusive agent for and on behalf of the Company Indemnifying Parties to (1) give and receive notices and communications to or from Purchaser relating to this Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than in connection with Direct Selling Shareholder Claims; (2) authorize deliveries to the Buyer of cash or Stock Consideration (including the Holdback Amount) and legally bind each of the Company Indemnifying Parties to pay cash or Stock Consideration (including the Holdback Amount) directly to the Buyer in satisfaction of claims asserted by the Buyer (including by not objecting to such claims), other than in connection with Direct Selling Shareholder Claims; (3) object to such claims other than in connection with Direct

-49-



Selling Shareholder Claims; (4) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with judicial orders with respect to, such claims, other than in connection with Direct Selling Shareholder Claims; (5) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance, other than in connection with Direct Selling Shareholder Claims; (6) execute for and on behalf of each Company Indemnifying Parties any amendment to this Agreement or any exhibit, annex or schedule hereto, provided that such amendment does not disproportionately (based on initial Purchase Price Percentage) affect any Selling Shareholder relative to other Selling Shareholders; and (7) execute for and on behalf of each of the Company Indemnifying Parties any waiver or extension to this Agreement. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be the sole and exclusive means of asserting or addressing any of the above, and none of the Company Indemnifying Parties shall have any right to act on its own behalf with respect to any such matters, other than any claim or dispute against the Shareholders’ Representative. This appointment of agency and this power of attorney is coupled with an interest and will be irrevocable and will not be terminated by any of the Company Indemnifying Parties or by operation of Law, whether by the death or incapacity of any of the Company Indemnifying Parties or the occurrence of any other event, and any action taken by the Shareholders’ Representative will be as valid as if such death, incapacity or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not any of the Company Indemnifying Parties or the Shareholders’ Representative will have received any notice thereof.
(b)    Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Shareholders’ Representative that is within the scope of the Shareholders’ Representative’s authority under this Agreement shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all Company Indemnifying Parties, and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of them. The Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, all such Company Indemnifying Parties. The Buyer is unconditionally and irrevocably relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Representative.
(c)    The scope of the powers of the Shareholders’ Representative as agent for the Company Indemnifying Parties may be changed, and the Person serving as the Shareholders’ Representative may be replaced from time to time, by the vote or consent of Company Indemnifying Parties representing a majority in interest of all Purchase Price Percentages upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Buyer. If there is not a Shareholders’ Representative at any time, any obligation to provide notice to the Shareholders’ Representative will be deemed satisfied if such notice is delivered to each of the Company Indemnifying Parties at their addresses last known to the Buyer, which will be the address set forth in the Schedules unless the Shareholders’ Representative provides notice to the Purchaser of a different address.

-50-



(d)    All expenses, if any, incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with the performance of his duties as the Shareholders’ Representative (the “Shareholders’ Representative Expenses”) will be borne and paid by the Company Indemnifying Parties according to their relative Purchase Price Percentages. The Shareholders’ Representative may use the funds in the Shareholders’ Representative Fund to pay the expenses incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative under the authorization granted in this Section 7.7. Any Shareholders’ Representative Fund remaining after payment of all of the Shareholders’ Representative Expenses following the later of (i) the resolution of all indemnification claims under Article IX and the determination by the Shareholders’ Representative that such funds are no longer necessary in connection with indemnification claims that may be brought thereunder and (ii) the payment of the maximum amount recoverable by the Buyer from the Company Indemnifying Parties, if any, shall be distributed to the Company Indemnifying Parties in accordance with their relative Purchase Price Percentages. The Shareholders’ Representative shall hold, invest, reinvest and disburse the Shareholders’ Representative Fund in trust for all of the Company Indemnifying Parties and the Shareholders’ Representative Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Any expense, liability or obligation that the Shareholders’ Representative incurs or pays on behalf of a Company Indemnifying Party or group of Company Indemnifying Parties shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company Indemnifying Party(ies) on whose behalf such expenses were paid. In the event any Company Indemnifying Party does not promptly reimburse the Shareholders’ Representative for any such expense, liability or obligation, the Shareholders’ Representative shall have the right to withhold and keep such amount from any payments to be made to such Company Indemnifying Party hereunder. For Tax purposes, each Company Indemnifying Party shall be treated as having: (A) received at Closing as consideration for its Subject Shares that portion of the Shareholders’ Representative Fund that such Company Indemnifying Party would have received if such amount were paid directly to the Company Indemnifying Parties at Closing; and (B) contributed such Company Indemnifying Party’s respective portion to a grantor trust, owned by the Company Indemnifying Parties and of which the Shareholders’ Representative is the trustee. Consistent with this treatment, each Company Indemnifying Party will report its portion of the Shareholders’ Representative Fund, and subsequent income or expenses of the Shareholders’ Representative Fund, on its respective Tax Returns, and the Shareholders’ Representative will provide the Company Indemnifying Parties with the required statements regarding the Shareholders’ Representative Fund’s income and expenses as to assist the Company Indemnifying Parties with their respective Tax reporting obligations. Notices or communications to or from the Shareholders’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Company Indemnifying Parties.
(e)    The Shareholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Company Indemnifying Parties for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Shareholders’ Representative while acting in good faith and any act done or omitted in accordance with the advice of counsel or other expert shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Company Indemnifying Parties shall severally and not jointly indemnify the Shareholders’ Representative and hold the Shareholders’ Representative harmless against any loss, liability, damage, claim, suit, penalty, cost or expense (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Shareholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder.

-51-



(f)    The Shareholders’ Representative shall have reasonable access to information about the Company and the reasonable assistance of the Company’s former officers and employees for purposes of performing his duties and exercising his rights hereunder, other than in context of a dispute hereunder. The Shareholders’ Representative shall treat confidentially and not use or disclose any Confidential Information to anyone, except that the Shareholders’ Representative may disclose the terms or information to the Company Indemnifying Parties or the Shareholders’ Representative’s employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, agents or authorized representatives on a need-to-know basis, as long as the Person agrees to treat such information confidentially. If requested by the Buyer, the Shareholders’ Representative shall enter into a separate confidentiality agreement before being provided access to such information.
(g)    By his signature to this Agreement, the initial Shareholders’ Representative hereby accepts the appointment contained in this Agreement, as confirmed and extended by this Agreement, and agrees to act as the Shareholders’ Representative and to discharge the duties and responsibilities of the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. For clarity, the Person serving as the Shareholders’ Representative may resign from such service at any time on notice to the Company Indemnifying Parties.

Each of the parties submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, United States in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court.

Each party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or at equity.
SECTION 8.16      Release.
(a)    As an inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and for other good and sufficient consideration, effective as of the Closing, each of the Selling Shareholders, with the intention of binding himself, herself or itself and each of such Selling Shareholder’s representatives, heirs, executors, administrators and assigns (the “Releasors”), hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Buyer and the Company

-55-



and each of their past and present Affiliates, Subsidiaries, and representatives, and all Persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with such Persons (the “Releasees”), of and from any and all manner of action or actions, cause or causes of action, suits, arbitrations, demands, debts, contracts, agreements, promises, Liability, Damages, or loss of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, direct, derivative, vicarious or otherwise, whether based in contract, tort, or other legal, statutory, or equitable theory of recovery, each as though fully set forth at length herein, (hereinafter, a “Claim”), which the Releasors now have or may hereafter have against the Releasees, or any of them, by reason of any matter, cause, act, omission or thing whatsoever in any way arising out of, based upon, or relating to such Selling Shareholder’s ownership of Subject Shares or other equity interest in the Company; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 8.16 shall (i) affect the ability of any of such Selling Shareholder to bring a Claim under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) release, acquit or discharge any rights to indemnification to which any Selling Shareholder may be entitled under the Company’s bylaws as in effect on the date of this Agreement or under any employment agreement and/or indemnification agreement between such Selling Shareholder and the Company or (iii) affect the ability of any of the Selling Shareholders to bring a Claim with respect to any ordinary course of employment rights or any Contracts with Buyer or the Company that remain in effect after the Closing. This release includes all of the Claims described above, even if the Releasor does not know or suspect that the claims exist, and even if knowledge of those claims would have affected its consideration of this Agreement. Each Releasor waives the effect of California Civil Code Section 1542 and any other analogous provision of applicable law of any jurisdiction. California Civil Code Section 1542 states:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN TO HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
(b)    Each Selling Shareholder represents and warrants to the Company and Buyer that there has been no assignment or other transfer of any interest in any Claim which such Selling Shareholder may have against any of the Releasees, and each Selling Shareholder shall indemnify and hold the Releasees harmless from any Liability, Claims or attorneys’ fees or expenses incurred as a result of any Person asserting any such assignment or transfer of any rights or Claims under any such assignment or transfer from such Party.
(c)    Each Selling Shareholder represents and warrants to the Company and Buyer that it has not filed, nor has as of the date hereof, any Claims against any of the Releasees. If any Selling Shareholder hereafter commences, joins in, or in any manner seeks relief through any suit arising out of, based upon, or relating to any of the Claims released hereunder, or in any manner asserts against the Releasees any of the Claims released hereunder, including, without limitation, through any motion to reconsider, reopen or appeal the dismissal of the suit or action, then such Seller will pay to the Releasees against whom such claim(s) is asserted all Damages incurred by such Releasees in defending or otherwise responding to said Claim.
SECTION 8.17      Conflicts Waiver.

-56-



(a)    After the Closing, it is possible that Faber Daeufer & Itrato PC and Australian Company Counsel (collectively, and together with their respective successors, the “Firms”) will represent the Shareholders’ Representative and/or one or more of the Selling Shareholders in connection with this Agreement and/or any claims related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Buyer and the Company hereby agree that any (or all) of the Firms may represent the Shareholders’ Representative and/or one or more of the Selling Shareholders in the future in connection with this Agreement and/or any claims related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom and each of such parties shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. Further, the Buyer and the Company hereby consent to the disclosure by the Firms to the Shareholders’ Representative and the Selling Shareholders, at any time, of any information learned by Firms in the course of its (or their) representation of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not such information may otherwise be subject to the attorney-client privilege or any duty of confidentiality.
(b)    From and after the Closing, all pre-Closing communications between the Company or any of their respective officers, employees, partners, members, directors or Affiliates, on the one hand, and one or more of the Firms, on the other hand with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Pre-Closing Confidential Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Selling Shareholders (and not to the Company or its Subsidiaries), and neither the Selling Shareholders nor the Firms shall have any duty to reveal or disclose to the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (and the Buyer, the Company and their respective Affiliates will not have any right to access or review) the Pre-Closing Confidential Communications by reason of any attorney client relationship between the Firms and the Company or otherwise. All books, records and other materials of the Company in any medium (including electronic copies) containing any of the Pre-Closing Confidential Communications or the work product of the Firms with respect thereto, including any related summaries, drafts or analyses, and all rights with respect to any of the foregoing, solely to the extent of the Pre-Closing Confidential Communication, are hereby assigned and transferred to the Selling Shareholders effective as of the Closing. Such material and information shall be excluded from the transfer contemplated by this Agreement and shall be distributed to the Shareholders’ Representative to hold for the benefit of the Selling Shareholders immediately prior to the Closing with no copies thereof retained by the Company or its Subsidiaries or other representatives of the Company or its Subsidiaries. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 8.17 and any other provisions in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8.17 shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiaries and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement, the Selling Shareholders or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, the Company or its Subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege and/or attorney work product protections to prevent disclosure of any Pre-Closing Confidential Communications by the Firms to such third party; provided, however, that neither the Buyer, the Company nor any Subsidiary may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Representative.
