Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to Seller’s representatives, including its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, Seller has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

(g) Seller is not purchasing the Share Consideration, Warrants or Warrant Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding such securities or Buyer published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of Seller, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

(h) Seller acknowledges and agrees that neither Buyer nor its Affiliates or their respective Representatives have made and is not making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or its business or the Share Consideration, Warrants or Warrants Shares, express or implied, except those specifically contained in Article IV below, and Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that Seller is not relying and has not relied on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or its business or the Share Consideration, Warrants or Warrants Shares, express or implied, except those specifically contained in Article IV below. Seller further understands and acknowledges that Buyer is in possession of information about Buyer and its securities (which may include material non-public information) that may or may not be material or superior to information available to Seller, and Seller has specifically requested that it not be provided with any such information. Seller acknowledges that it is entering this Agreement and, if it exercises any Warrants, it is doing so without any reliance on Buyer. Seller and Buyer understand and acknowledge that neither party would enter into this Agreement in the absence of the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph, and that these representations and warranties are a fundamental inducement to the parties in entering into this Agreement. Seller hereby waives any claim, or potential claim, it has or may have against Buyer relating to Buyer’s possession of material non-public information. Seller has independently participated in the negotiation of this Agreement and has been represented by separate counsel.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” consists of all information and data relating to the Company or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than data or information that is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section).

(b) Effective as of the Closing, Seller hereby assigns to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any confidentiality agreements entered into by Seller (or their Affiliates or Representatives) and each Person (other than Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives) who entered into any such agreement or to whom Confidential Information was provided in connection with a business combination involving the Company or its Affiliates. From and after the Closing, Seller will take all actions reasonably requested by Buyer in order to assist in enforcing the rights so assigned. Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Person to return to the Company any documents, files, data or other materials constituting Confidential Information that were provided to such Person in connection with the consideration of any such business combination.

(c) Seller shall not issue any such press releases nor otherwise make any public statement regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of Buyer.

5.6 Consents and Filings; Further Assurances.

(a) Seller and Buyer agree that, in the event that any consent, approval or authorization necessary or desirable to preserve for the Company any right or benefit under any lease, license, commitment or other Contract to which the Company is a party is not obtained prior to the Closing, Seller will, subsequent to the Closing, cooperate with Buyer and the Company in attempting to obtain such consent, approval or authorization as promptly thereafter as practicable.

(b) From time to time after the Closing, and for no further consideration, each of the parties shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, execute, acknowledge and deliver such assignments, transfers, consents, assumptions and other documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall not be required by this Section to take or agree to undertake any action, including entering into any consent decree, hold separate order or other arrangement, that would (A) require the divestiture of any assets of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (B) limit Buyer’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to consolidate and control, the Company or any of its assets or businesses or any of Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ other assets or businesses or (C) limit Buyer’s ability to acquire or hold, or exercise full rights of ownership with respect to, the Shares.

5.7 Registration Rights.

(a) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date and, in any event (subject to Seller’s reasonable opportunity to review and comment), within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (but after Seller has had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Forms S-3), unless otherwise agreed between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 or such other form under the Securities Act then available to Buyer (each, a “Registration Statement”) with respect to the resale of the Registrable Securities. Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that each such Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act within ninety (90) days thereafter and promptly notify Seller that such Registration Statement has been declared effective. After effectiveness of each Registration Statement, Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement, such supplements to the prospectus in such Registration Statement, and such replacement registration statements on Registration Statement, as may be reasonably requested by Seller or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep such Registration Statement effective for the resale of the Registrable Securities until all Registrable Securities registered thereunder have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

(b) In connection with each Registration Statement, Buyer shall (i) pay all costs and expenses in connection with such registration including all registration and filing fees, expenses of any audits incident to or required by any such registration, fees and expenses of complying with securities and “blue sky” laws, printing expenses and fees and expenses of Buyer’s counsel and accountants and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. filing fees (if any) (other than underwriting discounts and commissions and the costs of any counsel of a Seller), (ii) use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act in connection with resales of the Registrable Securities, (iii) furnish to Seller such numbers of copies of a prospectus and any supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits and documents incorporated by reference therein) conforming to the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as Seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, (iv) notify Seller (A) of any request by the SEC that Buyer amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus or the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose (and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued), or (B) to cease distribution of the prospectus if the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances, and, as soon as reasonably practicable, file with the SEC and furnish to Seller, a supplement or amendment to such prospectus such that such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, (v) take such further action as reasonably requested from time to time by Seller, to the extent required to enable Seller to sell the Registrable Securities under each Registration Statement or pursuant to an exemption provided under the Securities Act (including using its reasonable efforts to (X) register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such U.S. state jurisdictions as Seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable Seller to consummate the disposition in such U.S. state jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities; provided, that Buyer shall not be required to qualify generally to do business, subject itself to general taxation or consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to do so but for this Section 5.7(b), and (Y) cooperate with Seller to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or Rule 144 free of any restrictive legends and representing such number of shares of Common Stock and registered in the names of Seller; provided, that the Company may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of The Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System); provided, further, that Seller shall deliver to Buyer such officer certificates and opinions of counsel supporting the removal of any restrictive legends as Buyer shall reasonably request, and (vi) indemnify and hold harmless Seller, each underwriter, broker or any other Person acting on behalf of Seller and each other Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, from and against any and all Losses to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise caused by, arising from or relating to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto relating to the Registrable Securities, except in each case insofar as such Losses are caused by or related to any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission so made based upon information furnished in writing to Buyer by Seller expressly for use therein (provided, that the provisions set forth in Section 7.4 shall apply to any indemnification under this Section 5.7(b) mutatis mutandis).

(c) If, in the judgment of outside counsel to Buyer, the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement would require disclosure of information not otherwise then required by Law to be publicly disclosed and, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of Buyer, such disclosure is reasonably likely to adversely affect any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or merger or other material transaction or event involving Buyer or otherwise have a material adverse effect on Buyer (a “Valid Business Reason”), Buyer may postpone or withdraw a filing of such Registration Statement, or delay use of an effective Registration Statement until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event shall Buyer avail itself of such right for more than 45 consecutive days at any one time or 90 days, in the aggregate, in any period of 365 consecutive days; and Buyer shall give notice to Seller of its determination to postpone or withdraw a registration statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. In the event Buyer exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, Seller agree to suspend, immediately upon receipt of the notice referred to above by Seller, its use of the prospectus relating to such Registration Statement in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.

5.8 NYSE American Required Shareholder Approval. Buyer shall take all action necessary to obtain the Shareholder Approval that is required by the NYSE American rules in order to permit Seller to exercise its Warrants for Buyer Common Stock as soon as practicable in accordance with the Warrants, which NYSE American required Shareholder Approval shall be obtained no later than one twenty days (120) after the Closing Date. Seller covenants that until such time as the NYSE American required Shareholder Approval is obtained, Seller shall not exercise its Warrants for Buyer Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, unless and until the Shareholder Approval is obtained, in no event shall Buyer be required to issue an aggregate number of shares of the Buyer Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement (including upon exercise of the Warrants) in excess of 19.99% of the shares of the Buyer Common Stock as of the date hereof (the “Issuance Limit”).

5.9 Voting. Seller shall vote all of the shares comprising the Share Consideration in favor of any proposals presented to the shareholders of Seller to approve the exercise of the Warrant for Buyer Common Stock as required by the Trading Market; provided however, that Seller acknowledges and agrees that any subsequent vote by Seller with respect to the Share Consideration received at Closing shall be disregarded and not counted by the Company for purposes of determining whether the Shareholder Approval referenced in Section 5.8 has been obtained. This Agreement is given in consideration of, and as a condition to enter into this Agreement and is not revocable by Seller.

5.10 Listing of Common Stock. Buyer hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Buyer Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, Buyer shall apply to list or quote all of the Share Consideration on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Share Consideration on such Trading Market, and, promptly after Shareholder Approval is obtained, Buyer shall apply to list or quote all of the Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly thereafter secure the listing of all of the Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. Buyer further agrees, if Buyer applies to have the Buyer Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Share Consideration and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Share Consideration and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. Buyer will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with Buyer’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. Buyer agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Buyer Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

5.11 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. Buyer agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Share Consideration, Warrant and Warrant Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of Seller. Buyer shall take such action as Buyer shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Share Consideration, Warrant and Warrant Shares for, sale to Sellers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of Seller.

5.12 Board Appointment. Immediately after Closing, the Board of Directors will be expanded by one Person and the Board will appoint Kim Murphy to fill such vacancy until her successor is duly elected or until her earlier resignation, removal or death.

5.13 Lock-Up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Seller shall not effect any Transfer of any Securities, directly or indirectly, or engage in any Hedging Activities until the earlier of (i) one-hundred eighty (180) days following the date hereof, (ii) the public announcement by Buyer that the Company has received funding from BARDA, NIH or any other Governmental Authority to fully fund the development program for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, and (iii) such date, after the Registration Statement has been declared effected by the SEC, that the closing price per share of Buyer Common Stock, as reported on the Trading Market, closes above $2.50. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 5.12 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, be null and void ab initio. Buyer may make a notation on its records and on any certificates representing the Securities or give instructions to its Transfer Agents or other registrars for the Securities in order to implement the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement. Additionally, from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall and hereby does authorize Buyer to notify its Transfer Agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all Securities (and that this Agreement places limits on the transfer of the Securities). Seller further agrees to permit Buyer, from and after the Closing, not to register the transfer of any certificate representing any of the Securities unless such Transfer is made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Article VI
TAX MATTERS

6.1 Allocation of Taxes for a Straddle Period. For any Straddle Period, Taxes shall be attributable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date in an amount equal to: (A) in the case of any gross receipts, income or similar Taxes, the portion of such Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date, as determined on the basis of the deemed closing of the books and records of the Company at the end of the Closing Date (unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law) and (B) in the case of any Taxes other than gross receipts, income, or similar Taxes, the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period from the beginning of the Straddle Period through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

6.2 Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods.

(a) Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods that have not been filed as of the Closing Date, and all such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice with respect to the Company unless otherwise required by applicable Law or this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that pursuant to Code Section 1501 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company’s tax year shall close on the Closing Date, and the Company will join the Buyer’s consolidated reporting group effective the day immediately after the Closing Date. Seller shall provide drafts of each such Tax Return to Buyer for Buyer’s review and comment at least 30 days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (including any applicable extensions), or, in the case of Tax Returns filed on a more frequent than annual basis, as soon as reasonably practicable but at least five days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return. For the avoidance of doubt, any Tax Return that is normally filed on an annual basis, but that is required to be filed for a period of less than one year due to a termination or other event (e.g., a “stub” period income Tax Return of the Company for the period ending on the Closing Date) shall not be considered a Tax Return filed on a more frequent than annual basis. Before filing such Tax Return, Seller shall consider in good faith all comments made in writing by Buyer. Seller shall pay any Taxes shown to be due on all Tax Returns prepared by Seller.

(b) Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of the Company for any Straddle Period. Buyer shall provide drafts of each such material Tax Return to Seller for Seller’s review and comment at least 30 days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (including any applicable extensions) or, in the case of a material Tax Return filed on a more frequent than annual basis, as soon as reasonably practicable but at least five days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return. Buyer shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments made by Seller. Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of the Taxes with respect to the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period for which Seller is responsible under Section 6.1 within five days following any demand by Buyer for such payment. Buyer shall pay all Taxes of the Company (other than Pre-Closing Taxes) for Tax periods beginning after the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.

6.3 Other Tax Matters. Without the prior written consent of Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required by applicable Tax Law, Buyer and the Company shall not, and shall not direct any Person to, (i) make, amend, revoke or terminate any Tax election or change any accounting practice or procedure of the Company with an effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period, (ii) voluntarily approach any Governmental Authority regarding any Tax or Tax Return of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period, including entering into any “voluntary disclosure program” with any Governmental Authority, or (iii) consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Action regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period. Subject to the foregoing and solely with respect to tax periods beginning after the Closing Date, Buyer (and, after the Closing, the Company) shall be entitled to, and shall be in full control of any decisions with respect to the Taxes or Tax-related affairs of the Company.

6.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and Seller on the other, shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns pursuant to this Article VI and any audit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and, upon the other party’s request, the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit or other Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, that Buyer and the Company shall not be required to provide Seller any affiliated group Tax Return or portion thereof (including any work papers or related documentation) of Buyer or its Affiliates (other than the Company). Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date for a period of seven years and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority; provided, that Buyer may dispose of such books and records that are offered in writing to, but not accepted by, Seller.

(b) Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Tax that could be imposed with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.5 Transfer Taxes. Transfer Taxes shall be paid by Seller when due, and Seller shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company and their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

6.6 Tax Contests.

(a) After the Closing, each of Buyer and Seller shall promptly notify the other in writing of the proposed assessment or the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding or of any demand or claim with respect to Taxes relating to the Company, of which such party has been informed in writing by any Governmental Authority, which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer or after the lapse of time, could be grounds for indemnification under this Agreement. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to Seller, Buyer, or the Company) describing the asserted liability for Taxes in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Governmental Authority in respect of any such asserted liability for Taxes, provided, that failure to so notify Seller shall not relieve Seller of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent Seller is actually and materially prejudiced thereby or to the extent that Seller waives any claims or defenses. In the case of a Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the Company (a “Contest”) that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall have the right, at its expense, to control the conduct of such Contest; provided, that (i) Seller shall diligently prosecute such Contest in good faith, (ii) Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of the status of developments with respect to such Contest, (iii) Seller shall demonstrate to Buyer in writing Seller’s financial ability to provide full indemnification to Buyer with respect to such Contest (including the ability to post any bond required by the court or adjudicative body before which such Contest is taking place), (iv) Seller shall, subject to the limitations set forth herein, agree in writing to be fully responsible for all losses relating to such Contest, (v) Seller shall not settle, discharge, or otherwise dispose of any such Contest without the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and (vi) Buyer, at its own expense, shall have the right to fully participate in any such Contest.

(b) Buyer shall control and shall have the right to discharge, settle, or otherwise dispose of, at its own expense, all other Contests.

(c) To the extent of any inconsistency between this Section 6.6 and any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 6.6 shall control.

Article VII
INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall survive the Closing for a period of two years following the Closing Date; provided, however, that:

(i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 and 4.1 relating to organization and existence, Sections 3.2 and 4.2 relating to authority, Section 3.4 relating to the Shares, Section 3.5 relating to capitalization, Section 3.6 relating to equity interest, Section 3.7 relating to financial statements and undisclosed liabilities, Section 3.13 relating to assets, Section 3.18 relating to Material Contracts and Sections 3.22 and 4.4 relating to broker’s fees and finder’s fees (Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.13, 3.18, 3.22, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 are collectively referred to herein as the “Fundamental Representations”), and any representation in the case of Fraud, shall survive indefinitely; and

(ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.16 relating to Taxes shall survive until the end of the 60th day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

(b) The respective covenants and agreements of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until fully performed in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that (i) the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VIII with respect to a claim for indemnification in accordance with this Article VIII shall survive until the date such claim has been finally resolved and (ii) the covenants and agreements set forth in Article VI shall survive until the end of the 60th day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

(c) None of Seller or Buyer shall have any liability with respect to any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements unless an Indemnified Party provides notice in writing of an actual or threatened claim, or of discovery of any facts or circumstances that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in a claim hereunder, to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, if any, for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, in which case such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved, without the requirement of commencing any Action in order to extend such survival period or preserve such claim. For purposes of this Section 7.1, “applicable statute of limitations” means, with respect to any particular representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, the longest limitation period that may apply (under any Law) to any claim or action (asserted or brought by any Indemnified Party against any Indemnifying Party, by any party against any Indemnifying Party or by or against any other Person) that relates in any way to such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or that constitutes, gives rise to or relates in any way to any actual or alleged inaccuracy in or breach of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

7.2 Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company) and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the foregoing for, any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”), asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing as a result of, arising out of or relating to:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller or Seller contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (without giving effect to any limitations or qualifications thereto, including materiality, Material Adverse Effect or subsequent supplements or updates to the Disclosure Schedules);

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including as a result of the action or failure to act of the Company prior to the Closing); or

7.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and his Affiliates and their respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the foregoing for, any and all Losses asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing as a result of, arising out of or relating to:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (without giving effect to any limitations or qualifications as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other exception set forth therein); or

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

7.4 Procedures.

(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) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within 20 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 satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of (but may still participate in) any Third Party Claim (1) with respect to Taxes (except to the extent specifically provided in Section 6.6) or (2) for equitable or injunctive relief, any claim that would impose criminal liability or damages or any claim involving a material customer or supplier of the Indemnified Party, 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 7.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of (although the Indemnifying Party may still participate in) 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, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof in accordance with this Section 7.4, 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, it shall have the right, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.4, to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party and 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 20 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, subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand. During such 20-day period, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Indemnifying Party reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to such information as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party for purposes of investigating the Direct Claim (provided, however, that failure to provide such access shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII).

(d) 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.

(e) Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, including the limits on indemnification set forth in Section 7.5, the indemnification required hereunder in respect of a Third Party Claim or a Direct Claim shall be made by prompt payment by the Indemnifying Party of the amount of actual undisputed Losses in connection therewith within five Business Days after such Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII.

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.9, 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.

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

(a) an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a), as the case may be, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party equals or exceeds $5,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the full amount of such Losses from the first dollar thereof;

(b) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a), as the case may be, shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price (the “General Cap”); provided, that the Basket and the General Cap shall not apply to Losses arising out of, or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of, any Fundamental Representation or to any representation or warranty in the event of Fraud;

7.6 Remedies Not Affected by Investigation, Disclosure or Knowledge. If the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Buyer expressly reserves the right to seek indemnity or other remedy for any Losses arising out of or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, notwithstanding any investigation by, disclosure to, knowledge or imputed knowledge of Buyer or any of its Representatives in respect of any fact or circumstance that reveals the occurrence of any such breach, whether before or after the execution and delivery hereof.

7.7 Tax Matters. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Article VI and this Article VIII, the provisions of Article VI shall control. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

7.8 Right of Set-off. Subject to the General Cap, the Basket and the other provisions of this Article VIII, Buyer shall have the right to withhold and set-off against the Additional Cash Consideration the amount of any Losses (the “Set-off Amount”) that Seller may be reasonably required to pay under Section 7.2 pursuant to any good faith claim for indemnification made by an Indemnified Party; provided, that (i) Buyer shall deliver to Seller a notice (a “Set-off Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of the Losses and the Set-off Amount and (ii) to the extent the claims set forth in the Set-off Notice are finally resolved in the favor of Seller (whether by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller or by final non-appealable order of an arbitration panel or court of competent jurisdiction), Buyer shall within five Business Days thereafter pay the portion of the Set-off Amount resolved in the favor of Seller to Seller. If any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement are so set-off, the amount of such set-off shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price once finally determined to be required to be paid to an Indemnified Party under Section 7.2.

7.9 Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII, except for (a) claims for Fraud, in any which case the parties will have all rights and remedies available under this Agreement and available under any Law or (b) actions for specific performance, injunctive relief of other equitable relief pursuant to Section 8.11. In furtherance of the foregoing, other than as set forth in this Section 7.9, following the Closing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 7.9 shall limit (a) claims for Fraud, in any which case the parties will have all rights and remedies available under this Agreement and available under any Law or (b) actions for specific performance, injunctive relief of other equitable relief pursuant to Section 8.11.
