Judgment may be entered upon the written determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 10.9. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm shall function solely as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

(iv)    The costs of any dispute resolution pursuant to Section 2.9(c)(iii), including the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof, shall be borne by the Seller and the Buyer in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each party incurred in connection with the preparation or review of each Earn-Out Statement and preparation or review of any Earn-Out Notice of Disagreement, as applicable, shall be borne by such party.

(v)    The Buyer will afford the Seller and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the personnel, properties, books and records relating to the Business and to any other information reasonably requested for purposes of reviewing each Earn-Out Statement.

(vi)    The terms of this Section 2.9(c) will not apply to disputes over the compliance by the Buyer Parties with Section 2.9(g).

(d)    Subject to Section 2.9(e) and Section 8.7(a), in the event that it is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9 that the Seller is entitled to an Earn-Out Payment hereunder, the Buyer shall make such Earn-Out Payment to the Seller as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five Business Days) following the final determination thereof. Each date on which an Earn-Out Payment is made to the Seller is referred to herein as an “Earn-Out Payment Date.”

(e)    In the event that, as of any Earn-Out Payment Date, the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund is insufficient to pay the aggregate amount of all unpaid Losses set forth in pending Claim Notices delivered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article VIII (such aggregate amount of unpaid Losses, “Claimed Losses”), then the Buyer shall have the right to withhold and set off against any Earn-Out Payment to which the Seller is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.9 until the Buyer’s right to indemnification for such Claimed Losses is finally determined under Article VIII, an amount equal to (i) the amount of Claimed Losses as of the applicable Earn-Out Payment Date minus (ii) the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund as of the applicable Earn-Out Payment Date.

(g)    Earn-Out Period Covenants.

(iii)    If, prior to the end of the Earn-Out Period, the Seller believes that the Buyer has breached Section 2.9(g)(i), then within 30 days following the date that the Seller becomes aware of the facts and circumstances underlying the alleged breach, the Seller may provide notice (an “Earn-Out Breach Notice”) to the Buyer of the alleged breach (including reasonable supporting detail) and the Seller’s computation of the amount by which the alleged breach reduced or will reduce Earn-Out Revenue and/or Earn-Out Gross Margin (including reasonable supporting detail and calculations) (the “Earn-Out Adjustments”). If the Buyer does not dispute the Earn-Out Breach Notice, Earn-Out Revenue and Earn-Out Gross Margin will be determined for purposes of Section 2.9 by adding back the Earn-Out Adjustments to the actual Earn-Out Revenue and/or Earn-Out Gross Margin, as applicable. If the Buyer disputes the occurrence of a breach of Section 2.9(g)(i) or the Seller’s calculation of the Earn-Out Adjustments, or both, the Buyer shall provide notice thereof to the Seller (a “Notice of Earn-Out Breach Disagreement”) within 30 days of the Buyer’s receipt of the Earn-Out Breach Notice. If the Buyer fails to deliver a Notice of Earn-Out Breach Disagreement within such 30-day period, the Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with the Earn-Out Breach Notice and the Earn-Out Adjustments, and Earn-Out Revenue and/or Earn-Out Gross Margin, as applicable, will be determined for purposes of Section 2.9 by adding back the Earn-Out Adjustments to Earn-Out Revenue and/or Earn-Out Gross Margin, as applicable. During the 30-day period following delivery of a Notice of Earn-Out Breach Disagreement by the Seller to the Buyer, the Seller and the Buyer in good faith shall seek to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the alleged breach and its effect on the Earn-Out Revenue and/or Earn-Out Gross Margin, as applicable. If the parties are unable to resolve all such differences within the 30-day period, either party may seek to have the matter resolved by the court specified in Section 10.9.

(iv)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.9(g) to the contrary, the Buyer Parties and their Affiliates shall at all times be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action, or cause the Business to take any action or refrain from taking any action, that the Buyer Parties and their Affiliates determine in good faith (after consulting with the Seller) to be necessary for the Business to comply in all respects with all applicable Laws.

(h)    During the Earn-Out Period, the Buyer will provide the Seller with quarterly reports (each, a “Quarterly Earn-Out Report”) of Earn-Out Revenue and Earn-Out Gross Margin that contain sufficient detail to allow the Seller to validate the Buyer’s compliance with the Applicable Accounting Principles. Such Quarterly Earn-Out Reports will be provided within 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter during the Earn-Out Period.

Section 2.10    Withholding. The Buyer and the Seller shall be entitled to deduct, withhold and pay-over from the amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. If the Buyer or the Seller (or any of their respective Representatives), as the case may be, withholds any such amounts, the amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person that otherwise would have received such amount but for such withholding.

Section 2.11    Allocation. Within 60 days after the Settlement Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a written allocation of the Final Closing Consideration, plus any other amounts treated as consideration for income Tax purposes, among the assets of Seller (the “Allocation Schedule”), which allocation shall be consistent with the allocation principles set forth on Schedule 2.11 (the “Allocation Principles”).

For a period of [***] months following the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide each Transferring Employee who remains employed by Parent or its Affiliates during such period with employee benefits which are substantially comparable (in the aggregate) to those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates when applying the same eligibility criteria applicable in the ordinary course of business to employees of Parent and its Affiliates, and taking into account prior service with the Seller except to the extent that (A) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (B) such service was not recognized under the Employee Plans, or is not permitted to be recognized under Parent’s or its Affiliates’ employee benefit plans.

(e)    The Seller and its ERISA Affiliates shall comply with the provisions of COBRA, as set forth in Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of Title I of ERISA, with respect to any employee, former employee or beneficiary of any such employee or former employee who is covered under any group health plan, as defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code (a “Group Health Plan”), maintained by the Seller and its ERISA Affiliates as of the Closing Date or whose “qualifying event” within the meaning of Section 4980B(f) of the Code occurred on or prior to the Closing Date, whether pursuant to the provisions of COBRA or otherwise.

(g)    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon any Transferring Employee any right with respect to continued employment by Parent or any of its Affiliates, nor shall anything herein interfere with the right of Parent or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Transferring Employee at any time, with or without cause, following the effective date of his or her employment with Parent, or restrict Parent or any of its Affiliates in the exercise of its independent business judgment in modifying any of the terms and conditions of the employment of the Transferring Employees.

Section 5.8    Confidentiality.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” consists of all information and data relating to the Business (including Intellectual Property, customer and supplier lists, pricing information, marketing plans, market studies, client development plans, business acquisition plans and all other information or data), the Purchased Assets or the transactions contemplated hereby, except for data or information that is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section.

(c)    Effective as of the Closing, the Seller hereby assigns to the Buyer all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any confidentiality agreements entered into by the Seller (or its Affiliates or Representatives) and each Person (other than the Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives) who entered into any such agreement or to whom Confidential Information was provided in connection with any transaction involving the acquisition or purchase of all or any portion of the Business or the Purchased Assets. The Seller will take all actions reasonably requested by the Buyer, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in order to assist in enforcing the rights so assigned. The Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Person to return to the Seller any documents, files, data or other materials constituting Confidential Information that was provided to such Person in connection with the consideration of any such transaction.

Section 5.9    Certain Intellectual Property Matters.

(a)    If any of the Seller Parties own or are deemed to own or acquire any rights in any Seller Intellectual Property at any time after the Closing Date, each such Seller Party shall, and hereby severally does, transfer and assign all of its rights, title, and interest, free and clear of any Encumbrances, in and to such Seller Intellectual Property to the Buyer for no additional consideration, and all accrued causes of action in respect thereof, including all rights to and claims for damages, restitution, and injunctive and other legal or equitable relief for past, present, or future infringement, misappropriation, dilution, unlawful imitation, breach or other violation thereof. Each Seller Party severally agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and take such other actions as the Buyer shall reasonably request to give effect to the provisions of this Section 5.9. The Seller Parties shall procure the wavier or consent of any relevant Person to moral rights (or any broadly equivalent rights in any territory of the world) in any Seller Intellectual Property.

(b)    Although not the parties’ intent, if for whatever reason, any Seller Party retains any right or interest in any Seller Intellectual Property that cannot be assigned to the buyer at the Closing, then each such Seller Party hereby grants, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, to the Buyer a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, and fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple levels), exclusive, worldwide right and license to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and perform (whether publicly or otherwise), prepare derivative works of and otherwise modify, make, sell, offer to sell, import, and otherwise use and exploit, and exercise and practice all rights under, all or any portion of such Seller Intellectual Property.

(c)    In consideration for the Buyer’s willingness to acquire the Purchased Assets and deliver the Total Consideration, each Seller Party agrees for itself, and on behalf of each of its Affiliates, Representatives, successors, and assigns, that it and they shall not, directly or indirectly (i) challenge or assist any Person in challenging the validity or enforceability of any of the Seller Intellectual Property, or (ii) commence, maintain, or prosecute any Action of any kind against any of the Buyer, the Business or any of its or their Affiliates, Representatives, successors, or assigns based upon, relating to, or arising out of any assertion of direct or indirect infringement, misappropriation, dilution, violation, or unauthorized use of any Seller Intellectual Property by any product or service of any of the Buyer, the Business or any of its or their Affiliates, Representatives, successors, or assigns.

Section 5.10    Injunctive Relief. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer Parties may suffer irreparable harm in the event that any Seller Party breaches (or threatens to breach) any of such Seller Party’s obligations under any provision of Section 5.3, Section 5.8, Section 5.9 or Section 5.11 of this Agreement, and that monetary damages will be

inadequate to compensate the Buyer for such breach (or threatened breach). Accordingly, each Seller Party agrees that, in the event of breach (or threatened breach) by any Seller Party of any of such Seller Party’s obligations under any provision of Section 5.3, Section 5.8, Section 5.9 or Section 5.11 of this Agreement, the Buyer Parties will be entitled to temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief, and expedited discovery for the purpose of seeking relief, in order to prevent or to restrain any such breach, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, or other benefits arising from such breach or threatened breach, as well as such other damages as may be appropriate (and each Seller Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedies). Further, in the event of a breach or violation of the covenants set forth in Section 5.3 by any Seller Party, or any of their respective Related Parties, the Restricted Period will be tolled for such Seller Party (or Seller Related Party thereof) until such breach or violation ceases such that the Buyer Parties receive the benefit of a time period equal to the full Restricted Period. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Buyer from pursuing any other equitable or legal remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of monetary damages from any responsible Seller Party.

Section 5.11    Exclusivity.

(a)    The Seller Parties agree that between the Effective Date and the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement, the Seller Parties shall not, and shall take all action necessary to ensure that none of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives shall, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, discuss, pursue or encourage any inquiries, discussions, offers or proposals regarding, (ii) continue, propose or enter into negotiations or discussions with respect to, (iii) provide non-public information relating to or in connection with, or (iv) authorize, recommend, propose or enter into any confidentiality agreement, term sheet, letter of intent, purchase agreement or other Contract, arrangement, commitment or understanding regarding, an acquisition of all or part of, an investment in, or a business combination or consolidation or the formation of a partnership or joint venture or management arrangement with, or the sale or issuance of equity securities of, or an acquisition or license of all or any material portion of the assets of, or any similar transaction or business combination involving, the Seller, the Business or the Purchased Assets (any such transaction, an “Alternative Transaction”).

The Seller Parties shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction.

(b)    The Seller shall notify the Buyer promptly, but in any event within 24 hours, orally and in writing if any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or other contact with any Person with respect thereto, is made with respect to an Alternative Transaction. Any such notice to the Buyer shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact and the terms and conditions of such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact, including copies of all documents submitted to the Seller with respect thereto. The Seller shall not release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which the Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party, without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

Section 5.12    Notification of Certain Matters; Supplements to Disclosure Schedules.

No such supplement, nor any information the Buyer Parties may otherwise obtain from the Seller Parties or any other Person, shall be deemed to cure any breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement or have any effect for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3, the compliance by the Seller Parties with any covenant set forth herein or the Buyer Parties’ rights to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2.

(a)    A party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) shall deliver notice (a “Claim Notice”) in respect thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to deliver a Claim Notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b)    If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any and all Losses that may result from a Third Party Claim that is exclusively for civil monetary damages at law pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 15 days of receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (which expenses shall not be applied against any indemnity limitation herein) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim for equitable or injunctive relief or any claim that would impose criminal liability or damages, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, any such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party

shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within the time period and otherwise in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 8.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) the named parties to the Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing, (ii) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (iii) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder.

(c)    An Indemnified Party seeking indemnification in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party (a “Direct Claim”) shall deliver a Claim Notice in respect thereof to the Indemnifying Party with reasonable promptness after becoming aware of facts supporting such Direct Claim, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to deliver a Claim Notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party or otherwise than pursuant to this Article VIII. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days following its receipt of a Claim Notice in respect of a Direct Claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder, such Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but asserts that it is obligated to pay a lesser amount than that claimed by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay, or cause to be paid from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, such lesser amount promptly to the Indemnified Party, without prejudice to or waiver of the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference.

(d)    The indemnification required hereunder shall be made by prompt payment by the Escrow Agent (to the extent of any amounts then held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund if applicable) or the Indemnifying Party (to the extent of any amounts not then held in the

Indemnity Escrow Fund if applicable) of the amount of actual Losses in connection therewith, as and when bills are received by the Indemnifying Party or Losses incurred have been notified to the Indemnifying Party, together with interest on any amount not repaid as necessary to the Indemnified Party by the Escrow Agent or the Indemnifying Party, as applicable, within ten Business Days after receipt of notice of such Losses, from the date such Losses have been notified to the Indemnifying Party.

(e)    The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to require that any action be made or brought against any other Person before action is brought or claim is made against it hereunder by the Indemnified Party.

(f)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.9, each Indemnifying Party hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an Action in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on each Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim anywhere.

Section 8.5    Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(a)    the Seller Parties shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a), unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Seller and Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(a) equals or exceeds $[***] (the “Basket Amount”), in which case the Seller Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for the aggregate amount of all Losses in excess of the Basket Amount; provided, that the limit provided for in this clause (a) shall not apply to Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation or of Section 3.16 relating to Taxes, or any representation or warranty in the event of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation;

(b)    the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Seller Parties resulting from, arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Section 8.2(a) shall be an amount equal to $[***] (the “Cap”); provided, that the limit provided for in this clause (b) shall not apply to Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation or of Section 3.16 relating to Taxes, or any representation or warranty in the event of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation;

(c)    the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Seller Parties pursuant to Section 8.2, or the Buyer Parties pursuant to Section 8.3, shall not exceed the Total Consideration; provided, that the limit provided or in this clause (d) shall not apply to Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation; and

(d)    payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 in respect of any Losses shall be reduced by the amount of any cash proceeds actually received by any Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses under any applicable insurance policies or other applicable indemnity or contribution arrangement (each, an “Alternative Recovery”), in each case net of all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in obtaining such recovery, including any premium increases, deductibles, Tax costs and expenses, and costs of enforcement; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall not be required to seek or

exhaust any such Alternative Recovery before making a claim for indemnification against an Indemnifying Party hereunder. If an Indemnified Party receives any cash proceeds from any Alternative Recovery in respect of any Losses for which an Indemnifying Party has previously reimbursed or paid such Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall pay over to the Indemnifying Party, within thirty days of the receipt of such proceeds, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the full amount of cash proceeds received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses from such Alternative Recovery or (ii) the full amount previously paid or reimbursed to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Losses (taking into account all amounts by which such Loss was previously reduced, and all amounts previously paid over to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, in each case pursuant to this Section 8.5(d)).

Section 8.6    Certain Losses. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable hereunder to any Indemnified Party for any Losses unless such Losses are (a) the natural, probable, and reasonably foreseeable result of the event that gave rise thereto or the matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder and (b) not based on any special circumstances of the Indemnified Party, in each case, regardless of the form of action through which such Losses are sought, except in each case to the extent any such Losses are included in any Action by a third party against such Indemnified Party for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 8.7    Indemnity Escrow Fund; Set-Off.

(a)    The Buyer Parties hereby agree that, with respect to any claim for indemnifiable Losses asserted pursuant to Section 8.2, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall seek a remedy from the Indemnity Escrow Fund before seeking to recover any Losses directly from the Seller Parties. To the extent that the entire Indemnity Escrow Fund (i) has been released to the Seller in accordance with Section 8.7(b) and the Escrow Agreement, (ii) has been exhausted or (iii) would be exhausted if one or more pending claims against the Seller Parties are resolved in favor of a Buyer Indemnified Party, then a Buyer Indemnified Party may, in its sole discretion and at its option, (A) set off any remaining indemnifiable Losses against and reducing any Earn-Out Payment to which the Seller may become entitled pursuant to Section 2.9 or (B) recover any remaining indemnifiable Losses directly from the Seller Parties on a joint and several basis.

(b)    On the date that is the second Business Day following the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Initial Release Date”), the Buyer and the Seller will deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent, directing the Escrow Agent to deliver an amount equal to 50% of any cash remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund (less the amount of cash reasonably necessary to satisfy any outstanding claim for indemnification by any Buyer Indemnified Party for which a Claim Notice has been delivered to the applicable Indemnifying Party prior to the Initial Release Date) to the Seller. On the date that is the second Business Day following the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Final Release Date”), the Buyer and the Seller will deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent, directing the Escrow Agent to deliver any cash remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund (less the amount of cash reasonably necessary to satisfy any outstanding claim for indemnification by any Buyer Indemnified Party for which a Claim Notice has been delivered to the applicable Indemnifying Party prior to the Final Release Date) to the Seller. With respect to any cash remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund for outstanding claims for indemnification by any Buyer Indemnified Party for which a Claim Notice has been delivered prior to the Final Release Date, upon the resolution of each such claim, the cash remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund that is no longer needed to satisfy the remaining outstanding claims shall be delivered to the Seller.

Section 8.8    Treatment of Adjustments. The Buyer Parties and the Seller Parties agree that, unless otherwise required by Law, all payments made by or on behalf of either of them to or for the benefit of the other under this Article VIII shall be treated as adjustments to the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof.

Section 8.9    Time to Bring Claims. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.1, pursuant to Section 8106, Title 10 of the Delaware Code, the parties agree that this Agreement involves at least $100,000, and that any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be brought within 10 years of the date from which the underlying cause of action accrued; it being the intention of the parties that, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8.1 with respect to shorter periods of time, the parties shall have the maximum amount of time permitted under the Laws of the State of Delaware to bring an Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8.1 with respect to shorter periods of time, each party hereby waives the right to assert any statute of limitations of less than 10 years in defense of any such Action; provided, however, that this waiver shall not bar a defense to any Action that was not commenced within the 20-year time limit imposed by this Section 8.1.

Section 8.10    Sole Remedy; Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, including Section 5.10 and Section 10.11, or in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, the remedies provided for in this Article VIII shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.10 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent any party to this Agreement from receiving the full amount of any Net Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 2.8 hereof. The parties hereto expressly intend that the remedies provided for in this Article VIII shall apply to direct claims between the parties hereto for breach of this Agreement (whether or not involving a third party).

Section 8.11    No Duplication. Any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this Article VIII shall be paid without duplication or double-counting, and in no event shall any Indemnified Party be indemnified for the same Losses more than once.

Section 8.12    Mitigation of Losses. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its Losses hereunder; provided, however, that (a) no Indemnified Party shall be required to use any such efforts if, in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party, such efforts would be detrimental in any material respect to such Indemnified Party; (b) such commercially reasonable efforts shall not require any Indemnified Party to commence any litigation, make any material expenditure, procure or maintain any particular insurance coverage, or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party; and (c) all costs or expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with the mitigation of such losses shall also constitute indemnifiable Losses hereunder.

Section 9.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)    by mutual written consent of Parent (on behalf of the Buyer Parties) and the Seller (on behalf of the Seller Parties);

(b)    (i) by the Seller (on behalf of the Seller Parties), if no Seller Party is then in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and a Buyer Party breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2, (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 15 days following delivery to Parent of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by the Seller or (ii) by Parent (on behalf of the Buyer Parties), if no Buyer Party is then in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and a Seller Party breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3, (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 15 days following delivery to the Seller of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by Parent;

(c)    (i) by the Seller (on behalf of the Seller Parties), if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall have become incapable of fulfillment prior to March 25, 2022 (the “Outside Date”) or (ii) by Parent (on behalf of the Buyer Parties), if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 shall have become incapable of fulfillment prior to the Outside Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available if the failure of the party so requesting termination to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of such condition to be satisfied on or prior to such date;

(d)    by either the Seller (on behalf of the Seller Parties) or Parent (on behalf of the Buyer Parties) if the Closing shall not have occurred by the Outside Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) shall not be available if the failure of the party so requesting termination to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been a cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

(e)    by either the Seller (on behalf of the Seller Parties) or Parent (on behalf of the Buyer Parties) in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(f)    by Parent (on behalf of the Buyer Parties), if between the Effective Date and the Closing, an event or condition occurs that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1 (other than Section 9.1(a)) shall give prompt written notice of such termination to the other parties.

Section 9.2    Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of either party except (a) for the provisions of Sections 3.26 and 4.4 relating to broker’s fees and finder’s fees, Section 5.8 relating to confidentiality, Section 5.13 relating to public announcements, Section 10.1 relating to fees and expenses, Section 10.4 relating to notices, Section 10.7 relating to third-party beneficiaries, Section 10.8 relating to governing law, Section 10.9 relating to submission to jurisdiction and this Section 9.2 and (b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement or any agreement made as of the Effective Date or subsequent thereto pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 10.1    Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with or related to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated; provided, that no such fees and expenses payable by the Seller Parties shall be paid from any assets otherwise transferable to the Buyer pursuant hereto. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the obligation of each party to pay its own expenses will be subject to any rights of such party arising from a breach of this Agreement by any other party.

Section 10.2    Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed on behalf of each party.

Section 10.3    Extension; Waiver.

(a)    Each party may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the party. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party.

(b)    No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder. Any agreement on the part of any party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party.

Section 10.21    Parent Guaranty.

(a)    Parent hereby fully and irrevocably guarantees to the Seller Parties and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment and performance of all obligations of the Buyer arising under this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in full and when due, in accordance with their terms (the “Guaranty”).

(b)    Parent hereby further agrees that if any of the Guaranteed Obligations requiring payment or performance are not paid or performed in full when due, Parent will promptly, but not later than five Business Days of receipt of demand, pay or perform the same without any demand or notice. The Seller may enforce Parent’s obligations under this Section 10.21 without first suing the Buyer or joining the Buyer in any suit against Parent, or enforcing any rights and remedies against the Buyer or otherwise pursuing or asserting any claims or rights against the Buyer or any other Person or any of its or their property which may also be liable with respect to the matters for which Parent is liable under this Section 10.21. The Guaranty is a full, unconditional, irrevocable, absolute and continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not a guarantee of collection, and Parent shall remain liable on the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder until the Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in full.

Parent hereby represents and warrants to the Seller Parties as follows: (i) Parent is receiving fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value for its execution of this Agreement; (ii) Parent is not now insolvent, nor will the execution of this Agreement render Parent insolvent; (iii) the execution of this Agreement will not leave Parent with unreasonably small capital or assets in order to conduct the business of Parent as it is currently conducted; (iv) the obligations incurred under the Guaranty have not been incurred with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud present or future creditors; and (v) the execution of this Agreement is not intended or believed by Parent to be an incurrence of an obligation or debt of Parent beyond Parent’s ability to pay such obligation or debt as it becomes due. The provision of the Guaranty by Parent is a necessary condition to induce the Seller to enter into this Agreement and entry into this Agreement by the Seller is of substantial economic benefit to the Buyer and, therefore, beneficial to Parent.

Nothing in the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c) shall limit the ability of Parent to assert any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets that the Buyer may have to payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, other than defenses that the Buyer may possess relating to (i) lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement against the Buyer arising from the Buyer’s defective organization or lack of qualification to do business in any applicable jurisdiction, (ii) the Buyer’s lack of limited liability company authority to enter into or perform this Agreement or the due execution and delivery thereof, or (iii) the termination of existence, dissolution, liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, or other reorganization of the Buyer.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Buyer Parties and the Seller Parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above.
