(c)    The representations and warranties of the FDC Parties contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the Closing as though made at and as of such time (except that those representations and warranties which address matters only as of a particular date shall be true and correct as of such particular date) except where the failure of such representations and warranties in the aggregate to be so true and correct has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to result in, a FDC Parties Material Adverse Effect (disregarding any qualification in the text of the relevant representation or warranty as to materiality or material adverse effect);
(d)    Live Oak shall have received a certificate signed by an authorized officer of each of the FDC Parties confirming that the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(b) and Section 8.3(c) have been satisfied;

(g)    The FDC Updates shall not include or reflect information that individually or in the aggregate is materially and adversely inconsistent with the information previously provided by the FDC Parties to Live Oak regarding the FundsXpress Business and that reasonably materially adversely affects the willingness of Live Oak to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement; and
(h)    The Open Ancillary Agreements shall have been completed in form and substance reasonable satisfactory to Live Oak.

8.4    Satisfaction of Closing Conditions. If any of the conditions set forth in this Article 8 have not been satisfied prior to or at the Closing Date, then the Owners together may waive any such condition as set forth in Section 11.13 (to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law) and nevertheless elect to proceed with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Article 9
TERMINATION
9.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing as follows:
(a)    by mutual written agreement of Owners;
(b)    by either Owner, by written notice to the other party, if (i) any permanent injunction, order, decree or ruling by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein shall have become final and nonappealable; or (ii) there shall be any applicable Law (which shall be final and not subject to further appeal) that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited; provided, however, that the right to terminate pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement has caused or resulted in such applicable Law being enacted or becoming applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby;
(c)    by either Owner, by written notice to the other Owner, upon a breach of any material covenant or agreement on the part of such other Owner set forth in this Agreement, or if any material representation or warranty of such other Owner shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(b) or (c) or Section 8.3(b) or (c) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such breach is curable by such other Owner, as applicable, through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts and for so long as such other Owner continues to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts, the non-breaching Owner may not terminate this Agreement under this Section unless such breach is not cured within ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof is provided; or
(d)    by either Owner, by written notice to the other Owner, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before September 30, 2017, or such later date as the parties may agree upon in writing; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section shall not be available to any Person whose failure

33


to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date.
9.2    Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 9.1, then the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by either Owner, and such termination shall be without liability of any party (or any Affiliate or Representative of such party) to any other party to this Agreement; provided that the Information Sharing Agreement, the provisions of this Section 9.2 and the provisions of Article 11 shall survive any such termination; and provided, further that the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from any liability for (i) fraud, and (ii) any willful breach of, or willful failure to perform any obligation under, any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any willful breach of any of its representations or warranties hereunder.
Article 10
INDEMNIFICATION

10.1    Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that the FDC Parties Fundamental Representations and the Live Oak Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing indefinitely. The covenants and agreements of the Owners contained in this Agreement that require performance (a) on or prior to the Closing Date, shall survive until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (b) following the Closing, shall survive Closing indefinitely until fully performed or for the shorter period explicitly specified therein. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, any breach or inaccuracy of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding two sentences until the final resolution thereof if notice of the breach or inaccuracy thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given pursuant to this Article 10 to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time.
10.2    Indemnification By FDC Parties. After the Closing occurs and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 10, the FDC Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and defend, without duplication, each of Company and Live Oak Indemnified Parties against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, any of them based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of: (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the FDC Parties contained in this Agreement or any certificate of the FDC Parties delivered in connection with the Closing hereunder; (b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the FDC Parties or their Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or any Transfer Instrument; (c) the FundsXpress Excluded Assets; and (d) the FundsXpress Excluded Liabilities, including any failure by the FDC Parties and their Affiliates to carry out, perform or otherwise fulfill any of the FundsXpress Excluded Liabilities.
10.3    Indemnification By Live Oak. After the Closing occurs and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 10, Live Oak shall indemnify and defend each of Company and FDC Parties Indemnified Parties against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, any of them based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of: (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Live Oak

34


contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by Live Oak in connection with the Closing hereunder; (b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Live Oak pursuant to this Agreement or any Transfer Instrument; (c) the Live Oak Excluded Assets; and(d) the Live Oak Excluded Liabilities, including any failure by Live Oak to carry out, perform or otherwise fulfill any of the Live Oak Excluded Liabilities.
10.4    Procedures.
(a)    Each Person seeking and entitled to indemnification under this Article 10 (“Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the Owner from whom indemnification is sought (“Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by any third party (“Third Party Claim”), which notice shall be given within twenty (20) Business Days after Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 10.4 shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Article 10, except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices the rights of any such Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). Concurrently or thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, true, correct and complete copies of all written notices and documents (including any court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such other information with respect to any such Third Party Claim reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice and to assume control of, and defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.4. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim.
(b)     Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, consent to the entry of any judgment, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in the circumstance where the Indemnifying Party has not elected to assume defense of such Third Party Claim). In the event that the Indemnified Party settles any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligations under this Article 10 with respect to such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a Claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief shall be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if such settlement or cessation does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Claim, without prejudice. In the event that the Indemnifying Party proposes a settlement to any Claim with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is or was entitled to defend, which settlement is satisfactory to the party instituting such Claim, and the Indemnified Party withholds its consent to such settlement, and thereafter a final judgment is entered against the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party pursuant to which Losses exceed the amount of the proposed settlement, then in such case the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Article 10 against and in respect of the amount by which the Losses resulting from such final judgment exceed the amount of the proposed settlement.

35


(c)    Regardless of which Owner is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim, each Owner and Indemnified Party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.
10.5    Direct Claim Procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under this Article 10 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing, and as promptly as practicable, of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, which notice shall in no event be delivered to the Indemnifying Party later than forty-five (45) days after the Indemnified Party first learns of the facts on which such claim is based (“Notice Period”). Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification and the amount of such Losses incurred or that such Indemnified Party reasonably estimates in good faith is likely to be incurred in connection with such claim (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to notify the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable within the Notice Period shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure shall have actually prejudiced the Indemnifying Party, and in any event, the Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligation in respect of any claim for which notice is delivered following expiration of the applicable Notice Period for such claim, if any.
10.6    Limitations; Calculation of Losses.
(a)    Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the aggregate liability of either Owner for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to $8,000,000; provided, however, the aggregate liability of any such Owner for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement arising out of a breach of the FDC Parties Fundamental Representations or the Live Oak Fundamental Representations, as applicable, shall not exceed $16,000,000 (collectively, “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cap shall not apply to any claims or Losses resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with the covenants and agreements of the Owners contained in this Agreement that require performance following the Closing.
(b)    Neither Owner shall not be liable for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement for any Losses incurred by the Indemnified Parties unless the aggregate of all Losses incurred by the applicable Indemnified Parties exceeds, on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to $500,000 (the “Basket”), and then only to the extent of any such Losses incurred by such applicable Indemnified Parties that are in excess of the Basket. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket shall not apply to any claims or Losses resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with (i) a breach of the FDC Parties Fundamental Representations or the Live Oak Fundamental Representations, or (ii) the covenants and agreements of the Owners contained in this Agreement that require performance following the Closing.
(c)    The amount of any Losses payable under this Article 10 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any (i) amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor (net of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount, including any deductible amount paid by such Indemnified Party or increased cost of insurance in connection with such insurance recovery), and (ii) any tax benefit that has been actually realized by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates (in the form of an increase in cash refunds received or as a reduction in taxes otherwise due) arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Losses. If the Indemnified Party (i) receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible

36


for any Losses, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or out-of-pocket expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount, including any deductible amount paid by such Indemnified Party or increased cost of insurance in connection with such insurance recovery, or (ii) actually realizes or receives any net Tax benefit in the year the Losses were incurred (or the immediately succeeding year) that was not initially included in the computation of Losses, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such net Tax benefit, net of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.
(d)    The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this Article 10 for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special, exemplary, punitive, opportunity cost, lost profits or diminution in value, or other similar Losses.
(e)    Each Indemnified Party must mitigate in accordance with applicable Law any Loss for which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement, including by taking any actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party for such purpose, and no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to any Indemnified Party for any Losses to the extent arising from or aggravated by such Indemnified Party’s failure to mitigate or any other action taken or not taken by such Indemnified Party. If such Indemnified Party mitigates its Losses after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of that Loss, then the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party and pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of the value of the benefit to the Indemnified Party of that mitigation (less the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs of mitigation) within two Business Days after the benefit is received.
10.7    Sole Remedy. After the Closing, except in the case of fraud and other than the right to seek specific performance for breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in the Transfer Instruments, the indemnification rights of under this Article 10 shall be the exclusive remedy of each Owner and any Indemnified Party with respect to claims based upon a breach or alleged breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other Owner contained herein or therein and will be in lieu of all remedies available at law or in equity.
Article 11

39


11.9    Disclosure Schedule.
(a)    Any information set forth in one section of the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to apply to all other sections or subsections of the Agreement to the extent that the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face that such information is applicable to such other section or subsection or if such information is expressly cross-referenced to such other Schedules. The inclusion of information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be construed as or constitute an admission or agreement that a violation, right of termination, default, liability or other obligation or liability of any kind exists with respect to any item, nor shall it be construed as or constitute an admission or agreement that such information is material. In addition, matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedules. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Neither the specifications of any dollar amount in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedules is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Person shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedules is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Further, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedules is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no Person shall use the fact of setting forth or the inclusion of any such items or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedules is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement. From time to time prior to the Closing, either Owner may revise the Disclosure Schedule to reflect matters arising after the date hereof which (a) have been consented to or approved by the other Owner in writing, or (b) otherwise are matters, facts or changes arising between the date of this Agreement and the Closing in a manner that does not breach a covenant under this Agreement. From and after the Closing, subject to the immediately foregoing sentence, references to the Disclosure Schedules shall be references to the Disclosure Schedules as so supplemented, modified and/or updated.
(b)    The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is being signed prior to the completion of the FDC Parties Disclosure Schedules, the Live Oak Disclosure Schedules and certain exhibits. Consequently, the FDC Parties will be permitted for thirty (30) days following the date hereof, to update and revise the FDC Parties Disclosure Schedule and Exhibits 1.1(a), 1.1(b), 1.1(c), 1.1(e), 1.1(f), 1.1(i) and 1.3(a) and such updates and revisions will, for all purposes, but subject to Section 8.3(g), be deemed to be part of the FDC Parties Disclosure Schedules and such exhibits as of the date of this Agreement. Further, Live Oak will be permitted for thirty (30) days following the date hereof, to update and revise the Live Oak Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits 1.2(a), 1.2(b), 1.2(c), 1.2(d), 1.2(e), 1.2(f), 1.2(h) and1.3(b) and such updates and revisions will, for all purposes, but subject to Section 8.2(g), be deemed to be part of the Live Oak Disclosure Schedules and such exhibits as of the date of this Agreement.
11.10    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, when executed and delivered by the parties, and the Information Sharing Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

40


11.11    Construction; Interpretative Provisions. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, strictly neither for nor against any party hereto, and without implying a presumption that the terms thereof shall be more strictly construed against one party by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Person who drafted same. It is hereby agreed that Representatives of all parties have participated in the preparation hereof. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules are to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. All Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the defined terms set forth on Exhibit A notwithstanding their reference in the recitals to this Agreement) are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Exhibit or Schedule but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement. Any singular term in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the plural, and any plural term the singular. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that (i) the term “FundsXpress” shall include and mean, as applicable, either FXP or FXP Network and not just FXP and FXP Network collectively or as a group, (ii) the term “FDC Parties” shall include and mean, as applicable, any, some or all of FDC, FXP or FXP Network and not just FDC, FXP and FXP Network collectively or as a group. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import. The term “or” is used in its inclusive sense and shall be deemed to have the meaning “and/or”, and, together with the terms “either” and “any” shall not be exclusive. The term “any” shall be deemed to have the meaning “any and/or all.” References to any Contract are to that Contract as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time. References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. References from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively. References to “law,” “laws” or to any applicable Law shall be deemed to refer to such law or applicable Law as amended from time to time through the date hereof, except as otherwise specified herein, and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder through the date hereof, except as otherwise specified herein. All references to any time herein shall refer to Eastern Time, except as otherwise specified herein. The terms “Dollars” and “$” mean U.S. dollars. If the last day for the giving of any notice or the performance of any act required or permitted under this Agreement is a day that is not a Business Day, then the time for the giving of such notice or the performance of such action shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Unless the context shall otherwise require, references to a “party” or “parties” shall be deemed to refer to a party or the parties to this Agreement, and references to “either party” shall be deemed to refer to the FDC Parties, on one hand, and Live Oak, on the other hand.
11.12    Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
11.13    Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this

41


Agreement, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Either party may expressly waive in writing the other party’s non-compliance with any conditions to Closing. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
11.14    Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not benefit or create any right or cause of action in or on behalf of any Person other than the parties hereto and other than the Indemnified Parties and Company, each of which is an express, intended third party beneficiary hereunder.
11.15    Joint Preparation. This Agreement has been prepared by the joint efforts of the respective attorneys to each of the parties. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed on the basis that such party was the author of such provision.
11.16    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission, or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.
