The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares are being sold to the Purchaser by each of the Sellers in reliance upon one or more exemptions from registration contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The reliance by the Sellers upon such exemptions is based in part upon the representations set forth in this Section 2.3(h).

(b) The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, that there is no established market for the Shares, and that the Shares must be held indefinitely and cannot be transferred unless it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available with respect to such transfer.

7.6. Assertion of Claims. No claim shall be brought under Sections 7.3 or 7.4 hereof unless the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, at any time prior to the applicable Survival Date, provide the Indemnifying Persons with (a) written notice of the existence of any such claim, specifying the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, or (b) written notice pursuant to Section 7.7 of any Third Party Claim, the existence of which might give rise to such a claim; provided, that, the failure so to provide such notice to the Indemnifying Persons will not relieve the Indemnifying Persons from any liability which they may have to the Indemnified Persons under this Agreement or otherwise, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person reasonably demonstrates that such failure results in the loss or compromise of any rights or defenses of the Indemnifying Persons and that the Indemnifying Persons were not otherwise aware of such action or claim. Upon the giving of such written notice as aforesaid, the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, shall have the right to commence legal proceedings prior or subsequent to the Survival Date for the enforcement of their rights under Sections 7.3 or 7.4 hereof, as the case may be.

7.7. Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims. Losses resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (each, a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Indemnified Persons shall promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Persons of any Third Party Claim that might give rise to any Loss by the Indemnified Persons, stating the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim, and the amount thereof to the extent known. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third Party Claim, including, without limitation, any summons, complaint or other pleading that may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to provide notice as aforesaid to the Indemnifying Persons will not relieve the Indemnifying Persons from any liability which they may have to the Indemnified Persons under this Agreement or otherwise, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person reasonably demonstrates that such failure directly results in the loss or compromise of any rights or defenses of the Indemnifying Persons and that the Indemnifying Persons were not otherwise aware of such action or claim.

(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 7.7(a) of the assertion of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in and assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; provided, that, the Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to so participate in or assume the defense of such Third Party Claim if (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that (A) joint representation would be inappropriate, or present a conflict of interest, or (B) there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim; or (iii) the Third Party Claim seeks, or is reasonably likely to seek or result in, the imprisonment of, the imposition of a criminal penalty or fine against, or the imposition of an equitable remedy with respect to, the Indemnified Persons. Subject to the foregoing, after notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, (i) not be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7.7 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim and (ii) have full control over the conduct of such proceeding. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, (i) such assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, and (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s written consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person; (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person; and (C) the Indemnified Person shall have no liability or obligation (including without limitation any obligation to take or to refrain from taking any action) with respect thereto. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person

does not, within ten (10) days after such notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be deemed to have waived the right to defend such Third Party Claim and shall be bound by any determination made in such Third Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of any Third Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.11, the Sellers hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a proceeding in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Purchaser Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that a Purchaser Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agree that process may be served on the Sellers with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

(e) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Section 7.7: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third Party Claim and any related proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim and (iii) the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

8.9. Publicity. No party to this Agreement shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Company, except as may be required by Law or the requirements of any national securities exchange or national automated quotation system, in which case the party proposing to issue such press release or make such public announcement shall use reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other party before issuing any such press release or making any such public announcement. The parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release or public announcement.

8.10. Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the Law of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

(a) Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby after Closing, shall be submitted to and be finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to the provisions of the United States Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.), to be conducted by the AAA, with such arbitration to be held in Chicago, Illinois in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. Each party hereby irrevocably agrees that service of process, summons, notices or other communications related to the arbitration procedure shall be deemed served and accepted by the other party if given in accordance with Section 8.1. The arbitrators shall render a judgment of default against any party who fails to appear in a properly noticed arbitration proceeding. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators selected pursuant to AAA Rules. Any award or decision rendered in such arbitration shall be final and binding on both parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction if necessary.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.11(a) above, pending the outcome of any arbitration proceeding, any party hereto shall be entitled to temporary or preliminary injunctive relief against the other party in any court of proper jurisdiction with respect to any and all preliminary injunctive or restraining procedures pertaining to this Agreement or the breach hereof.

8.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
