The Adjustment Statement shall be accompanied by all relevant backup materials and schedules relating to the calculation of the Transferred HSA/MSA Assets Amount in detail reasonably acceptable to Buyer.
(b)    In the event that Buyer disputes the calculation of the Transferred HSA/MSA Assets Amount set forth in the Adjustment Statement, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) of the amount, nature and basis of such dispute within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Adjustment Statement. In the event of such a dispute, Seller and Buyer shall first use their diligent good faith efforts to resolve such dispute among themselves. If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, then any remaining items in dispute shall be submitted to the Audit Firm.
(c)    If any dispute is submitted to the Audit Firm, each party will furnish to the Audit Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Audit Firm may reasonably request and are available to that party. Each party shall

be afforded the opportunity to present to the Audit Firm material relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Audit Firm at a meeting with all parties present. The Audit Firm shall not attribute a value to any disputed amount greater than the greatest amount proposed by either party or an amount less than the least amount proposed by either party. The written decision of the Audit Firm shall be rendered within no more than sixty (60) days from the date that the matter is referred to such firm and shall be final and binding on the parties and, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, shall not be subject to dispute or review. Following any such dispute resolution (whether by mutual agreement of the parties or by written decision of the Audit Firm), the calculation of the Transferred HSA/MSA Assets Amount set forth in the Adjustment Statement (as determined in such dispute resolution) shall be determined final. The costs and expenses of the Audit Firm shall be allocated by the Audit Firm between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, equally.
(d)    Provided all three (3) Conversion Dates contemplated under this Agreement occur, if the Transferred HSA/MSA Assets Amount is less than the Lower Target HSA Assets Amount, then Seller shall, promptly after the final determination of the Transferred HSA/MSA Assets Amount pursuant to this Section 2.8, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereof, refund by Wire Transfer to Buyer an amount in cash equal to the Adjustment Multiple multiplied by the dollar value of such shortfall amount. If the Transferred HSA/MSA Assets Amount is greater than the Upper Target HSA Assets Amount, then Buyer shall, promptly after the final determination of the Transferred HSA/MSA Assets Amount pursuant to this Section 2.8, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereof, pay by Wire Transfer to Seller, or a designated Affiliate of Seller, an amount in cash equal to the Adjustment Multiple multiplied by the dollar value of such excess amount. All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
(e)    In the event that Seller fails to deliver timely an Adjustment Statement in accordance with Section 2.8(a) above, no later than forty five (45) days following the Final Conversion Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller an Adjustment Statement prepared in good faith by Buyer setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Transferred HSA/MSA Assets Amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding on the parties upon delivery to Seller.

(a)    From and after the Initial Conversion Date, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate and be of no force and effect with respect to any information relating to this Agreement, the Transactions or the Accounts. Further, Seller acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Confidentiality Agreement, in no event shall any action by Buyer or any of its Affiliates required or permitted by this Agreement be a breach of the Confidentiality Agreement.
(b)    Seller and its Affiliates shall not, for a period of five (5) years from and after the Signing Date, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Buyer, disclose or use, any confidential or proprietary information involving or relating to Buyer, its Affiliates, the Accounts, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or this Agreement; provided, that the information subject to the foregoing provisions of this sentence will not include any information generally available to, or known by, the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation hereof); provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 7.1(b) will not prohibit (i) any use by Seller of any information related to Enterprise Partners, Health Plan Partners, employees associated with Conduent Human Capital Solutions or Account Holders so long as such use does not violate the provisions of Section 7.4(a) of this Agreement, (ii) any use by Seller of any information involving or relating to the Accounts, the Acquired Assets, or the Assumed Liabilities in Seller’s or its Affiliate’s other business lines, or (iii) any retention of copies of records or the making of any disclosure required by Applicable Law so long as reasonable prior notice is given of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity is afforded to the other party, at its cost, to contest the same (to the extent such notice to the other party is legally permissible and reasonably practicable), or required pursuant to applicable regulatory or supervisory process, examination, inquiry or request. The provisions of this Section 7.1(b) shall expressly survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article XI.
(c)    Seller shall consult Buyer as to the form, substance and timing of any press release or other public disclosure, if any, related to this Agreement or the Transactions and, except as required by Applicable Law, Order or stock exchange, neither Seller nor Buyer shall issue any press release or make any public disclosure without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Except as contemplated by this Agreement or with the prior written consent of Buyer, Seller shall not communicate with any Account Holder, Enterprise Partner, Health Plan Partner and CHCS Employer Clients in respect of the Transactions in any material respect without the prior written consent of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may make any public disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions (i) that is contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) that is required by Applicable Law, Order or stock exchange, or (iii) that references generally
-27-


without identifying the other party or the financial terms of the Transactions, the existence of this Agreement, the intended Conversion Dates and the consummation of the Transactions.

If at any time after the Initial Conversion Date (i) Buyer or its designee holds any Excluded Liabilities or (ii) Seller holds any Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, will promptly transfer (or cause to be transferred) such assets or assume (or cause to be assumed) such Liabilities to or from (as the case may be) the other party, without further consideration from the other party. Prior to any such transfer, the party receiving or possessing any such asset will hold it in trust for such other party.
Section 7.4    Non-Competition.
(a)    Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7.4 are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects and are essential to protect the value of the Acquired Assets; (ii) Buyer has agreed to purchase the Acquired Assets in reliance on the covenants made by Seller in this Section 7.4; and (iii) Buyer would not have agreed to purchase the Acquired Assets in the absence of the covenants made by Seller in this Section 7.4. Therefore, Seller agrees that, (x) during the Restricted Period, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall provide services directly competitive with the services Buyer or its Affiliates provide in the United States with respect to HSA or CDB Accounts as of the date hereof, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller continuing to administer CDB Account Engagements for any CHCS Employer Client for which Buyer does not execute a replacement Contract in accordance with Section 6.1) or the Partner Agreement and (y) from the date of this Agreement until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Final Conversion Date, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall engage in Interfering Activities, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit or otherwise limit Seller or any of its Affiliates from (I) generally soliciting financial services or any other businesses, including but not limited to deposits, loans and other financial products, in any geography or in any manner, (II) owning, as a passive investment, an aggregate of less than 2% of any class of voting securities (as defined in 12 C.F.R. § 225.2(q)(1)) outstanding of a corporation or other Person, or (III) engaging in any commercial or investment banking activities; provided, that such activities do not involve Seller or its Affiliate providing services directly competitive with Buyer or its Affiliates in the United States with respect to HSA or CDB Accounts. The parties further agree that this Section 7.4(a) shall not apply to any Person acquired by Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Initial Conversion Date (an “Acquired Person”) if (x) the business, operations, assets, liabilities, sales, revenues, profits, expenses or losses of such Acquired Person, in the twelve (12) calendar month period prior to its
-28-


acquisition by Seller or its Affiliate, were not primarily dedicated to, derived from or attributable to the business of providing services competitive with Buyer or its Affiliates in the United States with respect to HSA or CDB Accounts and (y) the revenues in the twelve (12) calendar month period prior to its acquisition by Seller or its Affiliate of such Acquired Person dedicated to, derived from or attributable to the business that is competitive with Buyer or its Affiliates in the United States with respect to HSA or CDB Accounts (an “Acquired HSA Business”) (1) did not exceed forty percent (40%) of the total revenues of such Acquired Person and (2) also did not exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in the aggregate. During the Restricted Period, in the event this Section 7.4(a) applies and the revenue of such Acquired Person with respect to HSA and CDB Accounts exceeds Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in the aggregate, Seller shall, within 30 days of any such acquisition, provide to Buyer a right of first offer to purchase from Seller the Acquired HSA Business of such Acquired Person. If Buyer elects to purchase such Acquired HSA Business from Seller, Seller and Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to determine a purchase price for and enter into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Buyer will purchase from Seller, the Acquired HSA Business. If Buyer elects not to purchase such Acquired HSA Business from Seller, Seller shall not be required to divest of such Acquired HSA Business and the restrictions set forth in this Agreement shall not apply to such Acquired HSA Business.
(b)    If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the duration or the geographic scope of any of the provisions of this Section 7.4 unenforceable, the other provisions of this Section 7.4 shall nevertheless stand and the duration and/or geographic scope set forth herein shall be deemed to be the longest period and/or greatest size permissible by Applicable Law, and the parties agree that such court shall reduce the time period and/or geographic scope to permissible duration or size.
(c)    Without limiting the remedies available to Buyer, Seller acknowledges that a breach of any of the applicable covenants contained in this Section 7.4 may result in material irreparable injury to Buyer for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, Buyer shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction (without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach hereof, restraining Seller from engaging in activities prohibited by this Section 7.4), or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in this Section 7.4. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, (x) the Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the covenants in this Section 7.4 and during any other period required for litigation during which Buyer seeks to enforce such covenants against Seller if it is ultimately determined that Seller was in breach of such covenants and (y) the provisions of this Section 7.4 shall expressly survive any termination of this Agreement to the extent permitted under Section 11.2.
Section 7.5    Employee Matters. Prior to the Initial Conversion Date, Buyer may, or may cause one of its Affiliates to, extend offers of employment to certain employees of Seller or its Affiliates (each, an “Offeree Employee”). All such offers of employment to Offeree Employees shall be on terms acceptable to Buyer. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall knowingly cause or attempt to cause any Offeree Employee to reject Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s offer of employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an employment contract between Buyer and any Offeree Employee.

Section 7.6    No Shop.
(a)    Until the earlier of the Final Conversion Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article XI, Seller will not, and will use its best efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, encourage, induce or facilitate the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or take any action that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish any information regarding the Account Portfolio to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or an inquiry or indication of interest that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or (v) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any agreement contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

Neither Seller, on the one hand, nor Buyer, on the other hand, shall independently participate in any meeting or conference call with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. To the extent permissible under Applicable Law, each of Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments,

The respective representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement shall not survive the applicable Conversion Date and, except in the case of any action related to Fraud or intentional misrepresentation, there shall be no liability with respect thereof on the party of any Indemnifying Party; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) (A) the Seller Fundamental Representations and (B) the Buyer Fundamental Representations shall survive the Final Conversion Dates and shall terminate upon the later of (x) the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Final Conversion Date and (y) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and (ii) any action relating to Fraud or intentional misrepresentation shall survive indefinitely. The respective covenants and agreements of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive the Signing in accordance with their terms. The period from the Signing to the expiration, if any, of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder shall be referred to with respect to a claim for indemnification thereunder as the “Survival Period.”
Section 9.2    Indemnification by Seller.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and its and their respective stockholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and after the Signing Date from and against any and all claims, losses, damages (but excluding lost profits, diminution in value or consequential damages and similar damages, except if and to the extent any such damages are recovered against an Indemnified Party pursuant to any component of any claim, settlement, award or judgment against such Indemnified Party by any unaffiliated third party), Liabilities, awards, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Damages”) incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees to the extent caused by:
(i)    any breach of any of the Seller Fundamental Representations made in this Agreement by Seller; provided, that, in the case of any such Seller Fundamental Representation that is limited by “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar term or limitation, the amount of Damages shall be determined as if such “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar term or limitation were not included therein;
(ii)    any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller made herein, including, but not limited to, failing to liquidate and convert Investment Assets held in the Investment Accounts to Cash Assets within five (5) Business Days or less of the applicable Conversion Date as required by Section 5.6; or
-33-


(iii)    any Excluded Liability.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s maximum Liability to the Buyer Indemnitees for all Damages arising under Section 9.2(a)(i) and Section 9.2(a)(ii) (other than a breach by Seller of Section 7.4) shall not exceed the aggregate Purchase Price paid to Seller hereunder, except to the extent Seller does not use its good faith efforts to comply with any of its covenants or agreements contained herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the limitation set forth in this Section 9.2(b) shall not apply in respect of any indemnification obligation to the extent arising out of or resulting from fraud or willful misrepresentation by Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, except in the event of Fraud, there shall be no indemnification by Seller of any Buyer Indemnities for any breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement other than the Seller Fundamental Representations.
Section 9.3    Indemnification by Buyer.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and their respective stockholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and after the Signing Date from and against any and all Damages incurred by the Seller Indemnitees to the extent caused by:
(i)    any breach of any of the Buyer Fundamental Representations made in this Agreement by Buyer; provided, that, in the case of any Buyer Fundamental Representation that is limited by “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar term or limitation, the amount of Damages shall be determined as if such “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar term or limitation were not included therein;
(ii)    any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer made herein; or
(iii)    any Assumed Liability.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s maximum Liability to the Seller Indemnitees for all Damages arising under Section 9.3(a)(i) and Section 9.3(a)(ii) shall not exceed the aggregate Purchase Price paid to Seller hereunder, except to the extent Buyer does not use its good faith efforts to comply with any of its covenants or agreements contained herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the limitation set forth in this Section 9.3(b) shall not apply in respect of any indemnification obligation to the extent arising out of or resulting from fraud or willful misrepresentation by Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, except in the event of Fraud, there shall be no indemnification by Buyer of any Seller Indemnities for any breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement other than the Buyer Fundamental Representations.
Section 9.4    Indemnification Procedure.
(a)    Promptly after the incurrence of any Damages by the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) a notice (the “Claim Notice”), which Claim Notice shall be delivered within the relevant Survival Period; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its
-34-


obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure, and shall:
(i)    state that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Damages for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and
(ii)    specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Damages included in the amount so stated to the extent known, to whom such item was paid or is anticipated to be paid to the extent known, the date such item was paid or properly accrued and the nature of the breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and the computation of the amount, if reasonably capable of computation, to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder.
(b)    Claims for Damages specified in any Claim Notice with respect to which the parties agree in writing to be due, or which are determined by final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” Within ten (10) Business Days of the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claim, subject to the limitations of this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Agreed Claim by Wire Transfer to the bank account or accounts designated in writing by the Indemnified Party not less than one (1) Business Day prior to such payment.
(c)    Promptly after the assertion by any third party of any claim against any Indemnified Party that may result in the incurrence by such Indemnified Party of Damages for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure, and the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice to elect, at its option, to assume and control the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), such claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assert any and all defenses available to the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. If the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with the previous sentence, undertake to compromise or defend any such claim, it shall reasonably promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party agrees in such case to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such claim. Notwithstanding an election by the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in, but not control, the defense of such action or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one (1) firm of such separate counsel (such single firm representing all Indemnified Parties), if, but only if, (i) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict of interest makes representation by the same counsel or the counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. In any event, the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party and their counsel
-35-


shall cooperate in the defense of any such claim subject to this Section 9.4(c), including keeping such Persons informed of all material developments relating to any such claims, and providing copies of all relevant material correspondence and documentation relating thereto and also including, as required, the furnishing of personnel and witnesses and the execution of documents in each case as necessary for any defense of such third-party claim and at no cost to the other party (subject to reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred in connection with such defense being considered part of Damages hereunder). If the Indemnifying Party receiving such Claim Notice does not elect within thirty (30) days to defend such third-party claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend such claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one (1) firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any settlement of any such action or claim effected without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, but if settled with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.4(c), the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such claim, but only if the settlement does not release the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, or the settlement is in excess of the remaining portion of the Purchase Price set forth in Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as applicable, or if the settlement imposes injunctive or other non-monetary equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party each agrees to cooperate fully in all matters covered by this Section 9.4(c), including, as required, the furnishing of books and records, personnel and witnesses and the execution of documents, in each case as necessary for any defense of such third-party claim and at no cost to the other party (provided that any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred in connection with the foregoing shall be considered part of Damages hereunder).
(d)    Anything to the contrary in this Section 9.4 notwithstanding, if a third-party claim that primarily relates to Taxes or Excluded Taxes includes or could reasonably be expected to include both a claim for Taxes that are Excluded Taxes and a claim for Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes, and such claim for Taxes that are Excluded Taxes is not separable from such a claim for Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes, Seller (if the claim for Taxes that are Excluded Taxes exceeds or reasonably could be expected to exceed in amount the claim for Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes) or otherwise Buyer (Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, the “Controlling Party”), shall be entitled to control the defense of such third-party claim (such third-party claim, a “Tax Claim”). In such case, the other party (Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, the “Non-Controlling Party”) shall be entitled to participate fully (at the Non-Controlling Party’s sole expense) in the conduct of such Tax Claim and the Controlling Party shall not settle such Tax Claim without the consent of such Non-Controlling Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The costs and expenses of conducting the defense of such Tax Claim shall be reasonably apportioned based on the relative
-36-


amounts of the Tax Claim that are Excluded Taxes and the Tax Claim that are not Excluded Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be entitled to control in all respects, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, the defense of any third-party claim that relates to any income, franchise, gross receipts or similar Taxes of Seller or any of its Affiliates.
Section 9.5    Certain Damages; Certain Offsets; Calculation of Damages.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall an Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party for any punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, diminution in value, lost profits or similar damages except if and to the extent any such damages are recovered against an Indemnified Party pursuant to any component of any claim, settlement, award or judgment against such Indemnified Party by any unaffiliated third party.
(b)    For purposes of calculating the monetary amount of Damages for which any claim may be made against any Indemnifying Party, such monetary amount shall be decreased to the extent of any amounts actually recovered by an Indemnified Party under insurance policies, net of any increase in premiums directly attributable to such recovery for the year of the claim and the following year, deductibles or co-pays incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable costs of collection.
(c)    Each Indemnified Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate each loss or Liability for which such Indemnified Party is or may become entitled to be indemnified hereunder, including by (i) using commercially reasonable efforts in pursuing and attempting to recover any insurance proceeds available to it as a result thereof and (ii) incurring costs only to the extent reasonably appropriate to remedy any breach or remediate any other situation. If such Indemnified Party mitigates its loss after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party under this Article IX in respect of that loss, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party and pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of the value of the benefit to the Indemnified Party of that mitigation (less the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs of mitigation) promptly after the benefit is received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Buyer Indemnitee be required to seek recourse pursuant to the Letter Agreement in order to mitigate any loss or Liability for which such Buyer Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
Section 9.6    Exclusive Remedy. The parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party in connection with the Transactions) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX. Nothing in this Section 9.6 shall limit any party’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which such party shall be entitled hereunder or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or willful misconduct.
Section 9.7    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any amounts payable under this Article IX shall for all purposes be treated by Buyer and Seller as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION
Section 11.1    Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Initial Conversion Date:
(a)    by the mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller;
(b)    by Buyer if (i) at the time of such termination any of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall not be true and correct to the extent that the condition set forth in Section 10.1(b) cannot be satisfied, or (ii) there shall have been any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Seller hereunder to the extent that the condition set forth in Section 10.1(c) cannot be satisfied, and, in the case of (i) or (ii), such breach or failure is not or cannot be remedied by Seller within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of notice in writing from Buyer specifying the nature of such breach or failure and requesting that it be remedied; provided that Buyer may not terminate this Agreement based upon the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(c) to be satisfied if such failure was primarily caused by Buyer’s breach of this Agreement;

(e)    if any Restraint shall be in effect and shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(e) shall not be available to a party hereto if such Restraint was primarily due to such party’s breach of or failure to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.
Section 11.2    Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement, except for any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement, no
-40-


party hereto, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates, shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party, except that neither Seller nor Buyer shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of any willful breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.1    Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, altered or modified except by written instrument executed by each of the parties. No waiver of any party to this Agreement will be effective unless it is in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the waiving party that makes express reference to the provision or provisions subject to such waiver. No waiver shall constitute a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other inaccuracy, breach or failure to strictly comply with the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 12.2    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the Confidentiality Agreement and any other schedules, certificates, lists and documents referred to herein or therein, and any documents executed by any of the parties simultaneously herewith or pursuant thereto), constitutes the entire agreement of the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, discussions, negotiations and communications, written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Section 12.3    Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections, Schedules or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article of, Section of, Schedule to or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if” unless the context in which such phrase is used shall dictate otherwise. References to “dollars” or “$” mean United States dollars, unless otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary.
Section 12.4    Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Section 12.6    Binding Effect; Persons Benefiting; No Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective
-42-


successors and assigns and any buyer of all or substantially all of the assets of such party and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. This Agreement may not be assigned by any of the parties without the prior written consent of Buyer, in the case of any assignment by Seller, and Seller, in the case of any assignment by Buyer. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Article IX, no provision of this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any entity or Person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any part hereof.
Section 12.7    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, it being understood that all of the parties need not sign the same counterpart. A copy of this Agreement or signature page hereto signed and transmitted by facsimile machine, as an attachment to an email or by other electronic means, including via www.DocuSign.com (collectively an “Electronic Document”), shall be treated as an original document. The signature of any party thereon, for purposes hereof, is to be considered an original signature, and the Electronic Document transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original document. At the request of any party, any Electronic Document shall be re-executed in original form by the party or parties who executed the Electronic Document. No party may raise the use of an Electronic Document or the fact that a signature was transmitted through the use of a facsimile machine, email or other electronic means as a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement or any amendment or other document executed in compliance with this Agreement.
Section 12.8    Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action or cause of action arising under this Agreement or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the Transactions, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise. The parties hereby further agree and consent that any such claim, demand, action or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the parties may file a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.
Section 12.9    Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement and any claim, demand, action or cause of action arising under this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and wholly performed within such state, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles. The parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions. To the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under Applicable Law, the parties irrevocably waive and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that they are not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Section 12.10    Specific Performance. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its
-43-


failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to consummate the Transactions, will cause irreparable injury to the other party, for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each party hereby consents to the issuance of temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief by the courts referenced in Section 12.9 to compel performance of such party’s obligations, or to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to the granting by the courts referenced in Section 12.9 of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder, without, in any such case, the requirement to post any bond or other undertaking, in addition to any other rights or remedies available hereunder or at law or in equity.
Section 12.11    No Third-Party Beneficiary. This Agreement will not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns.
Section 12.12    Bulk Sales Waiver. The parties waive compliance with any “bulk sales” and similar laws applicable to the Transactions.
