     Section 3.6 Holdback Amount.

     (a) At the Closing, the Purchaser shall cause certificates representing the Holdback Shares to be delivered to the Parent’s headquarters offices, along with stock powers endorsed in blank by the Seller corresponding to such certificates.

     (b) At any time and from time to time upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Purchaser, the Seller may pay an amount in cash to the Parent to be held in escrow by the Parent as Holdback Cash (as defined below) equal to the value of any Holdback Shares then held by the Parent, at which time the Parent shall release such Holdback Shares to the Seller. Such amount delivered in cash shall become part of the Holdback Amount (the “Holdback Cash”). The Parent shall deposit such cash in its bank accounts to be held by Parent in escrow as Holdback Cash and any interest or investment earnings thereon shall belong to the Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with Section 3.10, for all purposes of this Section 3.6 and this Agreement, each Holdback Share shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Parent Stock Value, regardless of the fair market value of the Holdback Shares at any time.

     (d) In the event of a Working Capital Deficit or Holdback Period Deficit entitling the Purchaser to a reduction to the Holdback Amount pursuant to Section 3.4(d) or Section 3.5(d) hereto, or upon final resolution of any claim entitling the Purchaser to payment pursuant to Article XII which arose within twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, the Holdback Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such Working Capital Deficit, Holdback Period Deficit, or amount the Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled in respect of such claim, as applicable. For the purposes of settling any such Working Capital Deficit, Holdback Period Deficit or claim, as applicable, the number of Holdback Shares to be cancelled to settle such amount shall be equal to the amount of such Working Capital Deficit, Holdback Period Deficit or claim, as applicable, divided by the Parent Stock Value; provided that in lieu of settling such claim by cancelling such Holdback Shares, the Seller shall have the option to settle such claim in cash by paying an amount in cash equal to such settlement amount in which case such Holdback Shares

21



CONFIDENTIAL

shall not be cancelled. Subject to the Seller’s prior right in the immediately preceding sentence, the reduction to the Holdback Amount may be applied against the Holdback Cash and/or the Holdback Shares at the Purchaser’s election. Upon any cancellation of shares, a new certificate representing a number of Holdback Shares equal to the then-remaining stock portion of the Holdback Amount divided by the Parent Stock Value shall be issued to, and registered in, the name of the Seller, provided that the Seller delivers a stock power endorsed in blank for such certificate at the time of such issuance.

     (e) On the Release Date, the Purchaser shall (i) release and cause to be delivered to the Seller the then-remaining and undisputed Holdback Shares, and (ii) pay to the Seller an amount equal to the then-remaining and undisputed Holdback Cash.

     Section 7.8 Employee Matters.

     (a) Transferred Employees.

     (i) The Purchaser hereby agrees to offer employment, subject to completion of the Closing and effective as of the day after the Closing Date, to each employee actively employed in the Business by the Seller on the Closing Date other than those employees set forth on Exhibit 7.8(a), (a) at a base salary or base hourly wage that is not less than that which each such employee was receiving immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (b) on terms and conditions and with benefits that are, in the aggregate, substantially similar to (but in any event not less than) those of the Employee Benefit Plans in effect on the Closing Date. Each such employee who is offered and accepts employment and commences employment with the Purchaser effective the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement, is referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”. The Purchaser shall recognize the past service of Transferred Employees with the Seller for all employment, labour, pension and benefit law purposes following the Closing Date, including for the purposes of any notice of termination, termination pay or severance pay required by contract, statute or common law, but excluding for the purpose of accrual of benefits. The Purchaser will make offers of employment to the employees identified on Schedule 4.17 as inactive, if any, when such employees are ready and able to return to work if they are ready and able to return to work within two years of the Closing Date, in which case such offers will be on terms and conditions consistent with this Agreement.

     (ii) All Transferred Employees shall cease to actively participate in, be covered by or accrue benefits under the Employee Benefit Plans as of the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall take or cause to be taken all necessary actions, as required to terminate the participation of the Transferred Employees in the Employee Benefit Plans, effective as of the Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall adopt, become a sponsoring employer of, or have any obligation or liability under any of the Employee Benefit Plans.

     (iii) Commencing immediately on the date following the Closing, the Purchaser shall cause the Transferred Employees to be eligible to participate in and to be covered by or accrue benefits under employee benefit plans of Purchaser (“Purchaser’s Plans”). The Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser’s Plans that cover the Transferred Employees or any of their dependents or beneficiaries to treat the employment and service of the Transferred Employees with Seller through the Closing Date as employment and service with Purchaser and its Affiliates for eligibility and vesting but not for the purposes of accrual purposes under Purchaser’s Plans.

     (iv) Any eligible claims for benefits incurred by a Transferred Employee on or before the Closing Date, provided that such employee or his or

48



CONFIDENTIAL

her dependent or beneficiary, if applicable, was participating in an applicable Employee Benefit Plan on the date the claim was incurred, will be eligible for payment under the Employee Benefit Plan in accordance with Sections 7.8(a)(vi) and (vii) below, and Seller will be liable to Purchaser and will defend, indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless against any and all loss, liability or expense arising out of any such claims.

     (v) Any eligible claims for benefits incurred by a Transferred Employee after the Closing Date, provided that such employee or his or her dependent or beneficiary, if applicable, was participating in the applicable Purchaser’s Plan on the date the claim was incurred, will be eligible for payment under Purchaser’s Plans in accordance with Sections 7.8(a)(vi) and (vii) below, and Purchaser will be liable to Seller and will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller against any and all loss, liability or expense arising out of such claims.

     (vi) For the purposes of Sections 7.8(a)(iv) and (v) above, a claim for benefits will be deemed to have been incurred, whether or not reported: (A) with respect to death or dismemberment, on the actual date of death or of dismemberment; (B) with respect to short-term and long-term disability, on the date the claimant became disabled as determined in accordance with the applicable plan; and (C) with respect to all medical, dental or vision claims, on the date a service or supply giving rise to the claim under the applicable benefit plan is purchased or received by the claimant or his/her eligible dependent.

     (vii) For the purpose of Sections 7.8(a)(iv) and (v) above, where a claim includes more than one service or supply, each of which occurs at a single point in time (for example, a series of dental appointments related to a treatment plan), each such service or supply will result in a separate claim incurred as of the date on which the supply or service is purchased or received as aforesaid. If sufficient information is not available to identify charges associated with each claim (but is sufficient for payment of the claims in the ordinary course of claims adjudication), the total charges will be pro rated over the number of claims and reimbursed subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a Transferred Employee have been receiving long-term disability benefits at Seller prior to the Closing Date and suffer a recurrence of the same illness or injury, such recurrence shall, if covered by the Seller’s disability insurance plan, be dealt with in accordance with such Seller’s disability insurance plan.

     (b) Information. The Seller shall provide the Purchaser all information relating to each employee of the Seller as the Purchaser may reasonably require in connection with its employment or engagement of such individuals, including initial employment dates, termination dates, reemployment dates, hours of service, compensation and tax withholding history in a form that shall be usable by the Purchaser and such information shall be true, correct and complete in all respects.

     (ii) Except for amounts set forth in the Final Working Capital Schedule and assumed by the Purchaser as Assumed Liabilities, the Seller shall be solely responsible for all liabilities based upon, arising out of or relating to the Seller Benefit Plans, whether asserted prior to, on or after the Closing. The Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for all liabilities based upon, arising out of or relating to the Employee Benefit Plans of the Purchaser or its Affiliates, as applicable, or the employment of the Transferred Employees by the Purchaser or its Affiliates, as applicable, after such Transferred Employee first becomes a Transferred Employee.

Neither the Shareholder Parties nor the Seller nor any officer, director, employee, agent or representative of the Seller shall make any communication to employees of the Seller regarding any of Purchaser’s Plans or any compensation or benefits to be provided after the Closing Date without the advance approval of the Purchaser, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     (b) Referrals. During the Noncompete Period, if and when any Person contacts the Seller or any Shareholder Party with respect to any aspect of the Business, including, without limitation, inquiries or requests from customers or potential customers with respect to the performance of independent medical examinations, record reviews, expert testimony or other services performed by the Business as of the Closing Date (and, for greater certainty, not related to the Founder’s right to engage in the Practice of Medicine), whether by web contact, phone, email, facsimile, main or otherwise, the Seller and the Shareholder Party shall immediately refer any such Person to the Purchaser, shall notify the Purchaser of such contact, and shall provide the Purchaser with any and all information that the Seller and the Shareholder Parties have received from and regarding such Person. Each of the Seller and the Shareholder Parties further agrees not to disparage the Purchaser Parties in any manner.

     (c) Severability.

     The Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties described in this Section 12.1 as to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification are collectively referred to as “Purchaser Losses.”

     Section 12.2 Indemnification Obligations of the Purchaser and the Parent. The Purchaser and the Parent shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from, against, and in respect of, any and all valid Losses arising out of, relating to or resulting from:

     The Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties described in this Section 12.2 as to which the Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification are collectively referred to as “Seller Losses.”

     Section 12.3 Indemnification Procedure.

     (a) Promptly following receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice by a third party (including any Governmental Entity) of any complaint, dispute or claim or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant hereto (“Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall provide written notice thereof to the Party obligated to indemnify under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”), provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such Third-Party Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days thereafter assuming full responsibility for any Purchaser Losses or Seller Losses (as the case may be) resulting from such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim on the terms provided above or to employ counsel reasonably

64



CONFIDENTIAL

satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such twenty (20)-day period, then any Purchaser Losses or any Seller Losses (as the case may be), shall include the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnified Party as incurred. In any Third-Party Claim for which indemnification is being sought hereunder the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.

     (b) No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume and maintain the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 12.3(a) or (ii) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of, or related to, such Third-Party Claim. An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of, or related to, such Third-Party Claim, (y) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party and (z) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.

     (c) In the event an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant hereto with respect to any matter not involving a third party complaint, dispute or claim (“Direct Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the appropriate Indemnifying Party (a “Notice of Claim”). Such Notice of Claim shall specify the basis for such Direct Claim. The failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party with respect to any Direct Claim made pursuant to this Section 12.3(c) (unless such failure results in prejudice to the Indemnifying Party) it being understood that Notices of Claim in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty must be delivered prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representation or warranty under Section 12.4. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such Notice of Claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article or the amount thereof, the Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Notice of Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article XII, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the

65



CONFIDENTIAL

amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim (or any portion of the Direct Claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Direct Claim (or such portion of such Direct Claim) becomes finally determined. In the event the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such Direct Claim as provided above, as promptly as possible, such Indemnified Party and the appropriate Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of such Direct Claim (by mutual agreement or by submitting such dispute to a court or body of competent jurisdiction) and, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the merits and amount of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Direct Claim as determined hereunder.

     Section 12.4 Survival Period. The representations and warranties of the Parties contained herein and the indemnification obligation of the Seller and the Shareholder Parties set out in Section 12.1(a)(vii) shall not be extinguished by the Closing, but shall survive the Closing for, and all claims for indemnification in connection therewith shall be asserted not later than, twelve (12) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 (Organization), Section 4.2 (Authorization), Section 4.7 (Sufficiency of and Title to Assets), Section 4.16 (Tax Returns; Taxes), Section 4.18 (Seller Benefit Plans), Section 4.22(d) (Intellectual Property), Section 4.23 (Affiliate Matters), Section 4.25 (Licenses), Section 4.29 (Brokers, Finders and Investment Bankers), Section 4.31 (Investment Representations), Section 5.1 (Authorization and Validity of Agreement), Section 6.1 (Organization), Section 6.2 (Authorization), Section 6.4 (Capitalization of the Parent) and Section 6.5 (Issuance of Shares) (collectively, the “Surviving Representations”), shall survive the Closing without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue indefinitely. The covenants and agreements of the Parties hereunder shall survive without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day a claim for indemnification may be asserted hereunder, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

     Section 12.5 Liability Limits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not make a claim against the Seller and the Shareholder Parties for indemnification under Section 12.1(a)(i) for Purchaser Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of such Purchaser Losses exceeds $87,325 (the “Purchaser Basket”), in which event the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may claim indemnification for all Purchaser Losses in excess of $43,663 (the “Purchaser Deductible”), up to, but not to exceed $8,732,557 (the “Purchaser Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser Basket, the Purchaser Deductible and the Purchaser Cap shall not apply to any Purchaser Losses arising out of or related to fraud, willful misconduct or a breach of the Surviving Representations, and the Seller and the Shareholder Parties (as applicable) shall be liable for all Purchaser Losses with respect thereto.

66



CONFIDENTIAL

     Section 12.6 Earnings Multiple. In the event the Purchaser asserts a claim arising from any matter which directly or indirectly negatively impacts the normalized EBITDA of the Seller for the trailing twelve (12) months ended February 28, 2010 or the valuation set forth on Exhibit 12.6 on a historical or pro forma basis, any damages claimed shall reflect a 4.75 multiplication factor in their calculation.

     Section 12.7 Set-Off. Any Party shall be entitled to deduct and set off any amount owing to it by another Party pursuant to this Article XII from and against any other amount owing by such first mentioned Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Purchaser’s right of set off in the form of a reduction in the Holdback Amount for the purposes of this Agreement shall be limited to only those Purchaser Losses which arise within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date.

     Section 12.8 Exclusive Remedy. Except for actions grounded in fraud or willful misconduct, from and after the Closing, the remedies provided in this Article XII shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party for damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims related to this Agreement or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Business prior to the date hereof; provided, however, that this exclusive remedy for damages does not preclude a party from bringing an action for specific performance or injunction upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection herewith.

     Section 12.9 One Recovery. Any Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to double recovery for any claim, whether or not the claim may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants made by the Indemnifying Party in this Agreement. For greater certainty and notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall under no circumstances have any right to seek indemnification and the Seller and the Shareholder Parties shall have no obligation under this Article XII in respect of any claim entitling the Purchaser to a payment pursuant to this Article XII where the Holdback Amount has been reduced in the amount and in respect of any Working Capital Deficit by way of setoff pursuant to Section 3.6(d).

     Section 12.10 Insurance and Tax Recoveries. Following the time any Indemnified Party receives payment (cash or otherwise) from an Indemnifying Party with respect to Losses under this Article XII, such Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party any net insurance proceeds, or tax proceeds (to the extent reflecting a contemporaneous net tax benefit to the Indemnified Party), actually collected by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses, less any fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in collecting such tax or insurance proceeds, up to the amount of such monetary payment; provided that, other than using commercially reasonable efforts to promptly file a claim for covered Losses, in no event shall the Indemnified Party be required to pursue collection or recovery of any insurance proceeds from any insurer, whether by litigation or otherwise.

     Section 12.11 Adjustment to Purchase Price. For greater certainty, any indemnity payments made pursuant to this Article XII shall be treated by the Seller and the Purchaser as

67



CONFIDENTIAL

adjustments to the Purchase Price, and shall be allocated as goodwill. It is the intention of the Parties to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all federal and provincial tax purposes, and the Parties agree to file their Tax returns accordingly.

     Section 13.6 Severability. Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the extent permitted by Law, the parties waive any provision of Law which renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect. The parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision which is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable provision which it replaces.

     Section 13.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by electronic mail, facsimile or other electronic means), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or the terms hereof to produce or account for more than one of such counterparts.

     Section 13.8 Enforcement of Certain Rights. Nothing expressed or implied herein is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any Person other than the Parties and, only with respect to Article XII, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties and the respective successors or permitted assigns of each of the foregoing, any right, remedy, obligation or liability under or by reason of this Agreement, or result in such Person being deemed a third-party beneficiary hereof.

     Section 13.9 Waiver; Amendment. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any extension or waiver of any provision hereof shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. A waiver by a Party of the performance of any covenant, agreement, obligation, condition, representation or warranty shall not be construed as a waiver of any other covenant, agreement, obligation, condition, representation or warranty. A waiver by any Party of the performance of any act shall not constitute a waiver of the performance of any other act or an identical act required to be performed at a later time. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by written agreement of the Parties.

     Section 13.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents executed pursuant hereto constitute the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. There are no warranties, conditions, or representations (including any that may be implied by statute) and there are no agreements in connection with such subject matter except as specifically set forth or referred to in this Agreement. No reliance is placed on any warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact made either prior to, contemporaneous with, or after entering into this Agreement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, by any party to this Agreement or its directors, officers, employees or agents, to any other party to this Agreement or its directors, officers, employees or agents, except to the extent that the same has been reduced to writing and included as a term of this Agreement, and none of the parties to this Agreement has been induced to enter into this Agreement or any amendment or supplement by reason of any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact. Accordingly, there shall be no liability, either in tort or in contract, assessed in relation to any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact, except to the extent contemplated above.

     Section 13.11 Compliance with Bulk Sales Laws. Subject to Section 13.1(a)(iv), each Party hereby waives compliance by the Parties with the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfers” or similar Laws and all other similar Laws in all applicable jurisdictions in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     Section 13.12 Interpretation. Where the context requires, the use of a pronoun of one gender or the neuter is to be deemed to include a pronoun of the appropriate gender. References herein to any Law shall be deemed to refer to such Law, as amended from time to time, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections,” “Schedules” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits of this Agreement.

     Section 13.13 Cooperation Following the Closing. Following the Closing, each Party shall deliver to the other Parties such further information and documents and shall execute and deliver to the other Parties such further instruments and agreements as any other Party shall reasonably request to consummate or confirm the transactions provided for herein, to accomplish the purpose hereof or to assure to any other Party the benefits hereof.

     Section 13.14 Transaction Costs. Except as provided above or as otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) the Purchaser Parties shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of the Purchaser Parties incurred in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the fees, costs and expenses of their financial advisors, accountants and counsel, and (b) the Seller and the Shareholder Parties shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of the Seller and the Shareholder Parties incurred in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the fees, costs and expenses of financial advisors, accountants and counsel to the Seller and the Shareholder Parties (the “Seller Transaction Expenses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing does not occur due to the non-fulfillment of Section 9.1(k) hereto as a condition to Closing, the Purchaser shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the Seller Transaction Expenses incurred from February 26, 2010 until the date the Purchaser notifies the Seller that the Closing will not occur as a result of the non-fulfillment of such condition.
