STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2015 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among Digirad Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Project Rendezvous Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the stockholders of the Company, each of whom is listed on the signature pages hereto (each a “Stockholder” and, collectively, the “Stockholders”), and solely for purposes of acknowledging its duties and rights hereunder, Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as “Stockholders’ Representative”. Unless the context otherwise makes clear, capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in ARTICLE XI.
RECITALS
A. The Stockholders own all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”).
B. Buyer desires to purchase from each Stockholder, and each Stockholder desires to sell to Buyer, all of such Stockholder’s right, title and interest in and to the Shares, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof (the “Acquisition”).
C. The Company, the Stockholders and Buyer desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Acquisition and also to prescribe various conditions to the Acquisition as provided herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Shares. At the Closing, and pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Stockholder shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from each Stockholder, all right, title and interest in and to the Shares owned by such Stockholder, free and clear of all Liens. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares shall be an amount equal to the Net Initial Purchase Price, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
1.2 Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Acquisition shall take place via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures as promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days, following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII
(other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction and waiver of such conditions) or on such other date as Buyer and Stockholders’ Representative may mutually agree. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”
ARTICLE II
PURCHASE PRICE
PURCHASE PRICE
2.1 Payments by Buyer at Closing. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall make the following payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds:
(a) the Net Initial Purchase Price, to be allocated among the Stockholders in the amounts set forth on a written notice to be delivered to Buyer by the Stockholder’s Representative not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, which shall include appropriate wire instructions, which specific amounts shall be based upon each such Stockholder’s Equity Ownership Percentage and shall aggregate the Net Initial Purchase Price;
(b) on the Company’s behalf, the amount necessary to repay in full all Debt required to be paid at Closing as set forth in Payoff Letters to be delivered by the Company to Buyer prior to the Closing Date, such payments to be remitted to the accounts and in the amounts specified in such Payoff Letters;
(c) to the Company, for disbursement by the Company through its payroll process no later than the first full payroll cycle following the Closing to the applicable recipients designated prior to the Closing by Stockholders’ Representative, the Phantom Plan Amount, as designated by Stockholders’ Representative (the “Bonus Designation”), which designation shall include the name of each recipient, the employer portion of payroll and employment taxes and any excise tax resulting from excess parachute payments under Section 280G of the Code, due with respect to the Phantom Plan Amount to be paid to such recipient; and
(d) on the Company’s behalf, the amount necessary to pay the Transaction Expenses (other than the Phantom Plan Amount) that remain unpaid as of the Closing, such payments to be remitted to the accounts and in the amounts specified by the Company not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
2.2 Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Cash Adjustments.
(a) No less than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer the Company’s good faith estimate of (i) the Closing Net Working Capital as of the anticipated Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”) and (ii) the Closing Cash as of the anticipated Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Cash”). The
2
Company’s estimates shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP in the manner applied in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements.
(b) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Stockholders’ Representative a statement setting forth Buyer’s determination of (i) the Closing Net Working Capital and (ii) the Closing Cash (the “Closing Statement”) showing in reasonable detail any and all changes reflected therein from the amounts reflected in the statement of Estimated Closing Net Working Capital and the statement of Estimated Closing Cash delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(a). The Closing Statement shall be based upon the books and records of the Company and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP in the manner applied in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements.
(c) The Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties unless Stockholders’ Representative delivers to Buyer a written notice of disagreement with the Closing Statement within sixty (60) days following the receipt thereof. Such written notice shall describe the nature of any such disagreement in reasonable detail, identifying the specific items as to which Stockholders’ Representative disagrees and shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation. During such sixty (60) day period, Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to provide Stockholders’ Representative and its advisors with reasonable on-site access and access via telephone and e-mail communications and transmissions during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice to all relevant books and records and employees (including key accounting and finance personnel) of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the extent necessary to review the matters and information used to prepare and to support the Closing Statement, all in a manner not unreasonably interfering with the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. If Stockholders’ Representative delivers a notice of disagreement in a timely manner, then Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer shall attempt to resolve all such matters identified in such notice. If Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer are unable to resolve all such disagreements within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Buyer of the notice of disagreement (or such longer period as may be agreed by Buyer and Stockholders’ Representative), then the remaining disputed matters shall be promptly submitted to the Accounting Arbitrator for binding resolution. The Accounting Arbitrator will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement as to which Buyer and Stockholders’ Representative have disagreed, shall resolve such disagreements in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and shall not resolve any particular amount in dispute to be an amount less than the lowest amount claimed by one of the parties or an amount higher than the highest amount claimed by one of the parties. The Accounting Arbitrator shall issue a written report containing a final Closing Statement setting forth its determination of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Closing Cash, which determination shall be final and binding upon Buyer and the Stockholders. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator incurred in connection with the determination of the disputed items shall be paid by Stockholders’ Representative and by Buyer based on the relative success of their positions as
3
compared to the final determination of the Accounting Arbitrator. (By way of example, if Buyer has taken the position that the Closing Net Working Capital was $1,000,000 less than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital and Stockholders’ Representative has taken the position that the Closing Net Working Capital was $500,000 greater than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital (and the Parties had otherwise agreed on the Closing Cash) and the Accounting Arbitrator finally determines that the Closing Net Working Capital was equal to the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, then Buyer shall pay two thirds of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator and Stockholders’ Representative shall pay one third of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator.) Buyer and Stockholders’ Representative shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company to, cooperate fully with the Accounting Arbitrator and respond on a timely basis to all requests for information or access to documents or personnel made by the Accounting Arbitrator, all with the intent to fairly and in good faith resolve all disputes relating to the Closing Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable.
(d) If the amount equal to the Closing Net Working Capital plus the Closing Cash, as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.2(c), is less than the amount equal to the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital plus the Estimated Closing Cash, then the amount of such difference shall be paid by Stockholders’ Representative by wire transfer within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Closing Cash to Buyer. If the amount equal to Closing Net Working Capital plus Closing Cash, as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.2(c), is greater than the amount equal to the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital plus the Estimated Closing Cash, then the amount of such difference shall be paid by Buyer or the Company by wire transfer within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Closing Cash to the Stockholders in the amounts set forth on a written notice delivered by the Stockholder’s Representative, which shall also include appropriate wire instructions. All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) shall be calculated as an adjustment to the Net Initial Purchase Price.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the payment calculated to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2(d) (a “Post-Closing Adjustment”) is an amount less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), then there shall be no payment of such amount. However, if the Post-Closing Adjustment is an amount greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), the Net Initial Purchase Price shall be either increased (if the amount is to be paid to Stockholders’ Representative) or reduced (if the Post-Closing Adjustment is to be paid to Buyer) by the full amount of such Post-Closing Adjustment from the first dollar.
2.3 Withholding; Deductions. Each of Buyer and the Company, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable by it pursuant to this Agreement any withholding Taxes or other amounts required by Law to be deducted and withheld. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes
4
of this Agreement as having been paid prior to the Closing to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Company shall claim all properly-allowable Income Tax deductions with respect to the payment of any Transaction Expenses and the payment of any Debt, in each case at or within 75 days following the Closing, on the final Tax Returns for the Tax period ending on the Closing Date, and Buyer shall not take any action, or permit the Company to take any action inconsistent therewith.

3.1 Authority. Such Stockholder has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Stockholder of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated to be performed by it under this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary and proper action on the part of such Stockholder.

3.2 No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by such Stockholder of this Agreement and the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, (i) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon the Shares, (ii) conflict with the Constitutional Documents of such Stockholder, as amended to date, or (iii) result in a breach or violation of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a material default or event of default, or create a right of acceleration, termination or cancellation or a loss of any material rights under any material Contract of such Stockholder or any Law, Permit or Judgment to which such Stockholder or the Shares held by such Stockholder are subject.
3.3 Title to Shares. Such Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of the Shares set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Section 4.3 of the Disclosure Letter, free and clear of all Liens and restrictions on transfer. Other than with respect to securities law restrictions, no legends or other reference to any purported Lien appears upon any Certificate representing the Shares held by such Stockholder.

5
of the Shares other than this Agreement. At the Closing, assuming Buyer has the requisite power and authority to be the lawful owner of the Shares, such Stockholder shall transfer to Buyer good and marketable title to the Shares set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Section 4.3 of the Disclosure Letter.

There is no Legal Action pending, or to the knowledge of such Stockholder threatened, against or affecting such Stockholder or any of its properties or assets or otherwise that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Stockholder to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in a timely manner or that in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement.
3.5 No Other Representations. Except for the representations and warranties made in this ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV or in the Transaction Documents, neither the Company, any Stockholder nor any other Person (including any Subsidiary of the Company or any director, officer, manager, employee, Affiliate, advisor, agent or other representative of the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any Stockholder) makes or has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, relating or with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to Buyer or any other Person. Except in the case of intentional fraud or willful misconduct, neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor Stockholder, nor any of their respective stockholders, directors, officers, managers, employees, Affiliates, advisors, agents or other representatives, will have or be subject to any liability to Buyer or any other Person resulting from the use by Buyer or its representatives or advisors of any financial information, financial projections, forecasts, budgets or any other document or information furnished to Buyer or any other Person (including information in the “data site” maintained by the Company or provided in any formal or informal management presentation); provided, however, that the foregoing does not limit Buyer’s rights to recovery set forth in ARTICLE IX based on any breach of any of the representations and warranties expressly made in this ARTICLE III and in ARTICLE IV.

Each Subsidiary of the Company has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business. Each Subsidiary of the Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing (to the extent applicable) as a foreign organization in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership, leasing, holding or use of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except such other jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

All of the outstanding Equity Securities of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and were not issued in violation of, and are not subject to, any preemptive rights or in violation of any applicable Federal or state securities Laws. Except as set forth in Section 4.3 of the Disclosure Letter and except for rights granted to Buyer under this Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants, calls, demands, stock appreciation rights, Contracts or other rights of any nature to purchase, obtain or acquire, or otherwise relating to, or any outstanding securities or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or any voting agreements or any other similar contract, agreement, arrangement, commitment,
7
plan or understanding restricting or otherwise relating to the issuance, sale, purchase, redemption, conversion, exchange, registration, voting, dividend, ownership or transfer rights of any Equity Securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company will not have any outstanding Equity Securities other than the Shares. The Equity Securities of the Company and its Subsidiaries are not subject to any Liens or restrictions on transfer and no legends or other reference to any purported Lien appears upon any Certificates representing the Shares, in each case except for securities law restrictions. All of the outstanding Equity Securities of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been issued in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of Laws and Contracts applicable to the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective Equity Securities.
4.4 Authority. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated to be performed by it under this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary and proper corporate action on the part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general principles of equity.
4.5 No Conflict. Subject to the receipt of the consents listed in Section 4.6(a) and Section 4.6(b) of the Disclosure Letter, the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, (i) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with the Constitutional Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, each as amended to date, or (iii) result in a material breach or material violation of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a material default or event of default, or create a right of acceleration, termination or cancellation or a loss of any material rights under any Company Material Contract or any Law, Permit or Judgment to which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets are subject.

Section 4.7 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth true, correct and complete copies of (i) the audited consolidated balance sheets of DMS Health Technologies, Inc. and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014 and the audited consolidated statements of income and cash flows of DMS Health Technologies, Inc. and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years then ended, and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the DMS Health Technologies, Inc. and its Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2015 (the “2015 Company Balance Sheet”) and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows of DMS Health Technologies, Inc. and its Subsidiaries for the six-month period then ended (collectively, the “Company Financial Statements”). The Company Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, except for the absence of footnotes in the case of the unaudited interim Company Financial Statements. The Company Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods indicated therein, subject, in the case of the unaudited interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments. Neither the Company nor Project Rendezvous Acquisition Corporation conducted any business or operations during the periods covered by the Company Financial Statements and, as of June 30, 2015, neither such entity had any assets other than cash, Income Tax receivables and the equity interests in their respective subsidiaries, and neither such entity had any liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities).
4.8 No Undisclosed Liabilities.

4.9 Absence of Certain Changes. Since June 30, 2015 (the “Balance Sheet Date”), (i) there have not been any events, occurrences, changes, developments or circumstances which would have, or reasonably be anticipated to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) the Company
9
and its Subsidiaries have not taken any action of the type referred to in Section 6.1, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.
4.10 Assets and Properties. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and valid (and, in the case of Owned Real Property, good and marketable fee simple) title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of their respective real property and tangible personal assets and properties (including all such assets and properties reflected on the 2015 Company Balance Sheet, other than assets and properties disposed of in the ordinary course of business since the Balance Sheet Date) free and clear of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens.

Buyer has all requisite power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership, leasing, holding or use of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or in good standing would not reasonably be expected
28
to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Buyer to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in a timely manner.
5.2 Authority. Buyer has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated to be performed by it under this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary and proper action on its part. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Buyer and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general principles of equity.

Buyer has delivered to the Company true and complete copies of a commitment letter, dated October 13, 2015, between Buyer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Financing Commitments”), pursuant to which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, has agreed to lend the amounts set forth therein (the “Debt Financing”) for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

In entering into this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges that it has relied solely upon the representations and warranties of the Company and the Stockholders set forth in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV.

Buyer shall not cause or permit the Company or its Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate with or transfer or assign all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person unless the surviving corporation ensures that the acquiring or surviving Person covenants to assume the obligations imposed by this Section 6.4.
(d) The rights under this Section 6.4 shall be in addition to any rights that any Covered Person may have at common law or otherwise and shall remain in full force and effect following the Closing. Each of the Parties acknowledges that certain Covered Persons may have
35
rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by certain Stockholders or other Persons other than the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”) and hereby agrees that (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, are the indemnitors of first resort with regard to obtaining indemnification covered by the Indemnification Obligations (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that such Party’s obligations to the Covered Persons hereunder are primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification (including without limitation, through director and officer insurance policies) for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Covered Persons are secondary), (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Covered Persons and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, Judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement with regard to the indemnification covered by the Indemnification Obligations (or any other agreement between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and such Covered Persons), without regard to any rights such Covered Person may have against any Other Indemnitor and (iii) the Company, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of any Covered Person with respect to any claim for indemnification covered by the Indemnification Obligations, which such Covered Person has sought indemnification from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Covered Person against the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable.
6.5 Financing.
(a) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitments, including commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitments, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Buyer to obtaining the Debt Financing, (iii) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on terms and conditions contained in the Financing Commitments (including any “flex” provisions) (or other terms that would not materially and adversely impact the ability of Buyer to timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby) and (iv) consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing (including by taking enforcement actions against the lenders and other persons providing the Debt Financing to fund such financing). Buyer shall not agree to or permit any amendment, supplement or other modification of, or waive any of its rights under, any Financing Commitment or any definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing, in each case, without Stockholders’ Representative’s prior
36
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except any such amendment, supplement or other modification to the Financing Commitments that would not involve any conditions to funding the Debt Financing that are not contained in the Financing Commitments, and would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (it being understood that, subject to the requirements of this sentence, such amendment, supplement or other modification of the Financing Commitments may provide for the assignment of a portion of the Financing Commitment to additional agents or arrangers and the granting to such persons of approval rights as are customarily granted to additional agents or arrangers) shall be permitted hereunder without Stockholders’ Representative’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon any such amendment, supplement or modification of the Financing Commitments in accordance with this Section 6.6(a), Buyer shall provide a copy thereof to Stockholders’ Representative and the term “Financing Commitments” shall mean the Financing Commitments as so amended, supplemented or modified.
(b) In the event all or any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions described in or contemplated by the Financing Commitments for any reason, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) Buyer shall give Stockholders’ Representative prompt written notice of any breach by any party of the Financing Commitments (or commitments for any Alternative Financing) of which Buyer becomes aware or any termination of the Financing Commitments (or commitments for any Alternative Financing). Buyer shall keep Stockholders’ Representative informed on a current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing) and provide to Stockholders’ Representative copies of all documents related to the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing).
(d) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide to Buyer, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide to Buyer, all cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer that is necessary, proper or advisable in connection with the Debt Financing and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance thereof, the Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to nor reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and its or their marks. Buyer shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the
37
arrangement of the Debt Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries).
6.6 Preservation of Records. Buyer agrees that it shall not, for a period of at least six (6) years following the Closing Date, destroy or cause to be destroyed, or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to destroy or cause to be destroyed, any material books or records relating to the pre-Closing operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without first obtaining the consent of Stockholders’ Representative (or providing to Stockholders’ Representative notice of such intent and a reasonable opportunity to copy such books or records, at the Stockholders expense, at least thirty (30) days prior to such destruction). Buyer and the Company shall allow the Stockholders to have access to such books and records for all reasonable purposes.
6.7 Bonus Payments. The Company shall maintain the management bonus plan of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 as in effect as of the date hereof and shall perform its obligations to pay bonuses thereunder to the Persons eligible for bonuses under such plan in accordance with the terms of such plan, which Persons and terms have been made available to Buyer.
6.8 Approval of 280G Payments. The Company shall, prior to the Closing, solicit the approval of the stockholders (in accordance with the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto) with respect to any payments to be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) that would, absent approval by such stockholders, be excess parachute payments as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Prior to the vote to obtain such approval, the Company shall solicit and use its reasonable efforts to obtain waivers from each such disqualified individual, such that unless such payments to such individual are approved by the stockholders to the extent and in the manner required under Sections 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) and 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, no such payments shall be made. The Company shall provide to Buyer copies of all documents prepared by the Company in connection with this Section 6.8 prior to providing such documents to the stockholders or disqualified individuals. The Company shall also provide to Buyer copies of signed waivers from each such disqualified individual and evidence of stockholder approval, if such 280G payments are waived and approved.
6.9 Estoppel Certificates. If requested by Buyer, Stockholders’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in obtaining estoppel certificates from the landlords who are parties to the Real Property Leases.

(b) The representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and terminate on the Expiration Date; provided, however, that all representations and warranties of Buyer shall survive beyond the Expiration Date or other survival periods specified above with respect to any inaccuracy therein or breach thereof if a claim is made hereunder in writing setting forth the specific claim and the basis therefor prior to the Expiration Date, in which case such representation and warranty shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates set forth in Section 9.1(a) and Section 9.1(b) supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE IX, the Stockholders shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, the Company and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members, agents and Affiliates (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any such Buyer Indemnified Parties directly or indirectly as a result of, with respect to or in connection with:
(i) a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties made by the Company or the Stockholders in this Agreement;

(i) a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement; or
(ii) any failure by Buyer to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein to be performed, fulfilled or complied with by Buyer at any time.
9.3 Limitations on Liability; Claims Procedure.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Stockholders shall be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) of this Agreement (i) only for Losses that are the subject of claims made prior to the Expiration Date and in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) of this Agreement and (ii) only for fifty percent (50%) of the Losses specified in the foregoing clause (i); provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Stockholders pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) of this Agreement with respect to any and all Losses exceed Three Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars ($337,500) (the “Stockholder Payment Cap”).
(b) Buyer and the Stockholders acknowledge that as of the Closing, Buyer shall have obtained the R&W Insurance Policy for coverage of the Stockholders’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement without regard to the Stockholder Payment Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any and all Losses relating to a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any or all of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement that are, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of the Stockholder Payment Cap or otherwise outside the scope of the limitations set forth in Section 9.3(a), the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive recourse for such Losses with
45
respect to the Stockholders’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be limited to the coverage provided under the R&W Insurance Policy and no Buyer Indemnified Party shall seek any recourse against any of the Stockholders with respect to such Losses.
(c) The amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE IX shall be calculated net of any amounts actually recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under insurance policies (other than the R&W Insurance Policy) with respect to such Losses (net of any costs to recover such insurance payments). The amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE IX shall be calculated net of any Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Party in the taxable period that includes the indemnity payment, any carryback Tax period prior to such taxable period, or the Tax years following such taxable period (solely through a reduction in cash Tax payments required to be made or an increase in Tax refunds actually received), which Tax benefits shall be calculated net of any cash Tax costs, in each case, as a result of the Losses or receipt of an indemnity payment on a claim therefor.
(d) Notwithstanding the fact that any Indemnified Party may have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision of this Agreement in respect of any fact, event, condition or circumstance, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount of any Losses suffered by such Indemnified Party more than once, regardless of whether such Losses may be as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not prevent an Indemnified Party from recovering all Losses to which it is entitled hereunder arising out of the same set of facts, events, conditions or circumstances (but not more than once) notwithstanding the fact that an indemnification claim for such Losses is based upon more than one representation, warranty or covenant.
(e) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Losses arising in connection with a breach of or any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement if and to the extent that the alleged breach relates to a balance sheet asset or liability that was reflected in the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.2(c).
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but subject to the rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to recover under ARTICLE X and under the R&W Insurance Policy, the remedies provided in this ARTICLE IX shall be the exclusive monetary remedies of the Parties and their heirs, successors and assigns after the Closing with respect to a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, except for (i) actions for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, and (ii) claims for intentional fraud, in any which case the Parties shall have all rights and remedies available under any Law and available under this Agreement without regard to Stockholder Payment Cap.
46
(g) For purposes of this ARTICLE IX, a party making a claim for indemnity under Section 9.2 is referred to as an “Indemnified Party” and the party against whom such claim is asserted is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” All claims by any Indemnified Party under Section 9.2 shall be asserted and resolved in accordance with the following provisions. If any claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party, said Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand stating with reasonable specificity the nature of each individual item of Loss included in such claim, the date (if any) such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and, to the extent computable, the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent that the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced or to the extent that any applicable period set forth in Section 9.1 has expired without such notice being given. After receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice, then upon reasonable notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party, with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, shall defend, manage and conduct any proceedings, negotiations or communications involving any claimant whose claim is the subject of the Indemnified Party’s notice to the Indemnifying Party as set forth above. The legal fees and expenses of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party, and other related costs, associated with the foregoing defense and other actions with respect to such a claim shall constitute Losses of the Indemnified Party to be indemnified against by the Indemnifying Party subject to the limitations of this ARTICLE IX. Upon the request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, to the extent it may legally do so and to the extent that it is reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses thereby incurred, (i) take such action as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such action, (ii) allow the Indemnifying Party to dispute such action in the name of the Indemnified Party and to conduct a defense to such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (iii) render to the Indemnifying Party all such assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such dispute and defense.

(c) If and to the extent it is determined at any time that any Federal Income Tax deduction that is intended to be taken by and for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the Pre-Closing Tax Period ending on the Closing Date cannot be deducted (as a result of or in connection with the settlement of an audit or other similar proceeding by a Governmental Entity) in such Pre-Closing Tax Period and must be deducted in a subsequent Tax period, Buyer or such Affiliate shall take such applicable Federal Income Tax deductions, in each case as and when permitted under applicable Federal Income Tax Law, and shall pay the amount of any Federal Income Tax savings realized by Buyer or such Affiliate as a result of such applicable Federal Income Tax deductions to Stockholders’ Representative for distribution to the Stockholders in accordance with each Stockholder’s Equity Ownership Percentage. For the purposes of this Section 10.1(c), Federal Income Tax savings will be deemed realized from the Federal Income Tax deductions referred to herein (x) upon the filing of an annual Federal Income Tax Return (including a short period Federal Income Tax Return) that shows a reduced Federal Income Tax liability as a result of such Federal Income Tax deductions or (y) upon receipt of a Federal Income Tax refund payable as a result of such Federal Income Tax deductions. The calculation of the Federal Income Tax savings realized from the Federal Income Tax deductions referred to in this Section 10.1(c) for a taxable period or portion thereof ending after the Closing Date shall be based on a “with and without” calculation (i.e., the payment of the Federal Income Tax savings will only be made if the Federal Income Tax deductions generated a reduced Federal Income Tax liability or Federal Income Tax refund, assuming that it was the last deduction taken into consideration for the applicable taxable period). For each
48
year with respect to which any Federal Income Tax deductions referred to in this Section 10.1(c) remain outstanding, Buyer will deliver to Stockholders’ Representative no later than five (5) days after the filing of the applicable Federal Income Tax Returns for the prior taxable period, a statement in reasonable detail, together with any applicable supporting materials, of the then outstanding Federal Income Tax deductions and such “with and without” calculation for such prior taxable period. Without Stockholders’ Representative’s prior written consent, Buyer shall not make, nor permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make, any carryback of any net operating losses or credits to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or make any other Federal Income Tax elections that would reduce the amount of any refunds of Federal Income Taxes or credits against Federal Income Taxes for the benefit of the Stockholders as provided in this Section 10.1.
(d) Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay any Taxes attributable to the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries attributable to that portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date as well as for any Taxes attributable to the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date. Buyer shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes attributable to any Straddle Period to the extent such refund is attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.
(e) The provisions of this ARTICLE X are in addition to any other indemnification provisions in this Agreement related to Tax matters, and not subject to any limitations except as provided in this ARTICLE X.
10.2 Allocation of Straddle Period Taxes. For purposes of this ARTICLE X, in order to apportion appropriately any Taxes relating to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, the Parties shall, to the extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period of the Company and all of its Subsidiaries for all Tax purposes. In any case where applicable Law does not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period, the portion of any Taxes that are allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be (i) in the case of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis (for example, property taxes), deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of Taxes not described in clause (i), deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable year or period ended on the Closing Date (such as taxes that are either based on or related to income or receipts or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property).
49
10.3 Tax Returns.
(a) Stockholders’ Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date all work papers used or expected to be used in the preparation of any Income Tax Return for any tax year ending on or prior to the Closing Date or any Straddle Period (each a “Seller Tax Period”) and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer such work papers materially complete no later than January 31, 2016 or, if later, the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. At least 45 days prior to the due date (as determined after taking into account all extensions properly obtained) for any Income Tax Return required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary for any Seller Tax Period (other than any U.S. Federal Income Tax Return for a Seller Tax Period) or, in the case of any U.S. Federal Income Tax Return for a Seller Tax Period, no later than the 180th day following the Closing Date, Stockholders’ Representative, at the expense of the Stockholder Representative’s expense, shall prepare or cause to be prepared each such Income Tax Return and shall deliver or cause to be delivered each such Income Tax Return to Buyer for Buyer’s review and approval, provided that such review and approval shall be limited to each election or other item on such Income Tax Return, together with any calculation or other support for such election other item, that (i) is material to the determination of Income Tax due in respect of such Income Tax Return or in future periods and (ii) either (A) is inconsistent with the manner in which such Income Tax Return was previously filed by the Company and/or any Subsidiary (other than any such inconsistent election that is made to effect the Company’s right to claim deductions in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.3) or (B) has been calculated or made in a manner outside the legally permissible range or methodology applicable to such item or election. For example, the Company’s prior methodology for calculating NUBIL, which has been determined by the Company’s current tax preparer to be a reasonable methodology, would not be subject to an approval right. Upon Buyer’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of all items on an Income Tax Return for which Buyer has approval rights pursuant to this Section 10.3(a), the resolution of such Income Tax Return in accordance with Section 10.3(d) and/or the determination by the parties that no such approval rights are applicable, Buyer shall file or cause to be filed such Income Tax Return.
(b) Buyer shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained or, if already delinquent, as soon as practicable) all Tax Returns (other than any Income Tax Returns subject to Section 10.3(a)), in each case that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that any Tax Return for a Seller Tax Period shall be submitted to Stockholders’ Representative at least 30 days prior to filing for Stockholders’ Representative’s review and comment, which comments shall be discussed by Buyer with Stockholders’ Representative to determine in good faith whether such Tax Return should reflect Stockholders’ Representative’s comments.
50
(c) No later than three days prior to the filing of any Income Tax Return prepared in accordance with this Section 10.3, Stockholders’ Representative shall pay to Buyer the amount of Pre-Closing Taxes shown to be due in respect of such Income Tax Return prepared and filed pursuant to this Section 10.3. Any Taxes other than Income Taxes that are Pre-Closing Taxes which are shown to be due in respect of any Tax Return prepared and filed pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be paid as provided in Section 10.1(d).
(d) If Buyer and Stockholder Representative cannot agree upon the proper preparation and/or filing of an Income Tax Return subject to Section 10.3(a), the parties, at least 30 days prior to the date on which such Income Tax Return is due (as determined after taking into account all extensions properly obtained) shall submit such Income Tax Return to the Accounting Arbitrator for resolution with instructions to complete such resolution at least five business days prior to the due date (as determined after taking into account all extensions properly obtained) for such Income Tax Return, which resolution shall be final and binding upon all parties to this Agreement. If the Accounting Arbitrator cannot provide a resolution of such Income Tax Return at least five business days prior to the due date (as determined after taking into account all extensions properly obtained) for such Income Tax Return, then such Income Tax Return (as prepared in accordance with the instructions of Stockholders’ Representative with respect to any items submitted to the Accounting Arbitrator for resolution) shall be deemed resolved for purposes of the last sentence of Section 10.3(a). If, after the filing of an Income Tax Return deemed resolved in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Accounting Arbitrator delivers a resolution of such Income Tax Return (which resolution shall be final and binding upon all parties to this Agreement) and such resolution disagrees with the Income Tax Return as filed and Buyer, in its sole discretion, determines to file an amended Income Tax Return with respect to such Income Tax Return, the parties as soon as practicable after the Accounting Arbitrator’s resolution of such Income Tax Return shall prepare and file such amended Income Tax Return in accordance with the Accounting Arbitrator’s resolution and this Section 10.3. Such amended Income Tax Return shall be subject to Section 10.3 (including, but not limited to, the resolution provisions of this Section 10.3(d)) in the same manner as the original Income Tax Return. The parties shall bear equally the cost of any services provided by the Accounting Arbitrator in accordance with this Section 10.3(d).
10.4 Tax Contests.
(a) If Buyer, the Stockholders, Stockholders’ Representative or any of their Affiliates receives notice from any Governmental Entity of any proposed or actual audit, examination, adjustment, claim, assessment or demand concerning the amount of Taxes of the Company or any or its Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, such Party shall inform the other Parties thereof within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice. No failure or delay in providing such notice shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of any Party hereto, except to the extent such failure or delay adversely affects the
51
recipient Party’s ability to defend against any liability or claim with respect to such Taxes. Any notice shall be accompanied by a copy of any written notice or other document received from the applicable Governmental Entity with respect to such matter.
(b) Stockholders’ Representative shall have the sole right to control, at Stockholders’ Representative’s expense, the contest of any audit, dispute or administrative, judicial or other proceeding relating to the Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, and Buyer may, at its expense, participate in such contest. Buyer shall have the sole right to control, at its expense, the contest of any audit, dispute or administrative, judicial or other proceeding relating to the Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period or for any period commencing after the Closing Date, and Stockholders’ Representative may, at Stockholders’ Representative’s expense, participate in such contest. No audit, dispute or administrative, judicial or other proceeding may be settled (i) in the case of any such contest relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period by Stockholders’ Representative without Buyer’s prior written consent if such settlement would have an adverse impact on Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) in the case of any such contest relating to a Straddle Period, by Buyer without Stockholders’ Representative’s prior written consent if such settlement would have an adverse impact on the Stockholders; provided, however, that no such consent by Stockholders’ Representative or Buyer shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
10.5 Assistance and Cooperation. The Stockholders, Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested for the filing of any Tax Returns, for the preparation of any audit, for the filing of Tax refund claims or amended Tax Returns and for the prosecution or defense of any Tax claim (including, but not limited to, reasonable access to and consultation with for purposes of Section 10.3 any employee, outside accounting firm or other consultant that prepared or assisted in the preparation of any Tax Return or amended Tax Return). Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, preserve and keep all books and records with respect to Taxes and Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Any information obtained under this Section 10.5 shall be kept confidential except (i) as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding or (ii) with the consent of the Party in possession of such information.
10.6 Transfer Taxes. Any and all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees payable in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Buyer when due, and Buyer shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer,
52
documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees, and, if required by Law, the Stockholders shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and documentation.

The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.
13.7 Successors and Assigns; Assignment; Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding on, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns (if any). Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

69

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto acknowledges and irrevocably agrees (i) that any action or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Debt Financing Sources arising out of, or relating to, the transactions contemplated hereby, the Financing Commitments, the Debt Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and the appellate courts thereof) and each party hereto submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action or proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court and (ii) not to bring or permit any of its Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such action or proceeding in any other court.

13.11 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
13.12 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any signature page delivered by facsimile or electronic image transmission shall be binding to the same extent as an original signature page. Any Party that delivers a signature page by facsimile or electronic image transmission shall deliver an original counterpart to any other Party that requests such original counterpart, it being understood and agreed
70
that the failure to deliver any such original counterpart upon request shall not affect the binding nature of the signature page delivered by facsimile or electronic image transmission.
13.13 Waiver of Privilege. Buyer, the Stockholders and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that, as to all communications between Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP (the “Firm”), on the one hand, and the Stockholders, Stockholders’ Representative and the Company (prior to the Closing), on the other hand, that relate to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Stockholders and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or the Company in the event of a legal dispute with any Stockholder or Stockholders’ Representative.

The Firm will not be required to notify the Company or any other Buyer Entity of any such representation as it arises. In connection with any such representation by the Firm of any one or more of the Stockholder Parties in any matter with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in which the Buyer Entities are adverse, the Company and each other Buyer Entity hereby waives any duty of confidentiality or attorney-client privilege which may have arisen as a result of the Firm’s representation of the Company, the Stockholders and Stockholders’ Representative. The Company and each other Buyer Entity understands that it is being asked now to waive future conflicts as described above without knowledge as to the specifics of those conflicts because the waiver pertains to future facts and events. This consent and waiver is intended to be for the benefit of the Firm and effective in all jurisdictions in which the Firm practices, and to extend to any rights conferred on the Company or any other Buyer Entity by the professional rules of conduct of any such jurisdiction and any other statute, rule, decision or common law principle relating to conflicts of interest that may otherwise be applicable.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, the Parties agree on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective Affiliates that no Debt Financing Source shall have any liability to the Company or any of the Stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein pursuant to this Agreement or the Debt Commitment Letter. This Section 13.15 is intended to benefit and may be
71
enforced by the Debt Financing Sources and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Parties.
