It is further agreed that if, in the absence of a protective order, such party is nonetheless compelled to disclose Confidential Information, such party may disclose such information without liability hereunder; provided, that such party shall: (i) give US Buyer written notice of the information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as is practicable; (ii) disclose only such portion of the Confidential Information as is required; and (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such information.

Section 5.07    Governmental Approvals and Other Third-party Consents. 

(a)    Each party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders, and approvals from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders, and approvals. The parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing, or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. If required by the HSR Act and if the appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act has not been filed prior to the date hereof, each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within five Business Days after the date hereof and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authority any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of Buyers’ undertaking pursuant to this Section 5.07, each of Buyers agrees to use its reasonable best efforts and to take any and

all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the parties hereto to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement as are required to be divested in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be obligated to hold separate, sell, divest or otherwise dispose of any of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement that would be reasonably likely to (i) materially impair the benefits or advantages it expects to receive from this Agreement, or (ii) give rise to a material adverse effect on the business plan or business strategy of the combined company. In addition, each of Buyers shall use its reasonable best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Governmental Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the consummation of the Closing.

(c)    All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf of either party before any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions by either Sellers or Buyers with Governmental Authorities in the ordinary course of business, any disclosure which is not permitted by Law or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall be disclosed to the other party hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments and proposals. Each party shall give notice to the other party with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, with such notice being sufficient to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance, or contact.

(d)    Parent and Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all consents from, all third parties that are described in Section 3.05 of the Disclosure Schedules; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom consent or approval is requested.

Section 5.08    Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. 

(a)    For a period of three years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Restricted Business in the Territory; (ii) have a direct or indirect interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between the LiveArea Companies and customers or suppliers of the LiveArea Companies.

(b)    During the Restricted Period, Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any employee of the LiveArea Companies or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.08(b) shall prevent Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates from hiring (i) any employee whose employment has been terminated by the LiveArea Companies or Buyers or (ii) after 365 days from the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.

(d)    Sellers acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.08 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyers, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Sellers of any such obligations, Buyers shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(e)    Sellers acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.08 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyers and constitute a material inducement to Buyers to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.08 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.08 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(a)    In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by Parent prior to the Closing, or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of six years after the Closing, Buyers shall:

(i)    retain the books and records (including personnel files) of the LiveArea Companies relating to periods prior to the Closing; and

(ii)    upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of Buyers or the LiveArea Companies reasonable access (including the right to make, at Buyers’ expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records.

(c)    Neither Buyers nor Parent shall be obligated to provide the other party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 5.09 where such access would violate any Law.

(d)    Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, provide Buyers with access to Sellers’ facilities after Closing (with reasonable advance notice, during normal business hours and without material interruption to Sellers’ businesses), as reasonably necessary for Buyers to take possession of or transfer the assets, books, records, files, or other materials owned, licensed or leased by the LiveArea Companies.

From and after Closing (to the extent not completed by then), Buyers shall, and shall cause LA India to, use reasonable best efforts to assist Sellers with the transfer of all PFS assets (tangible and intangible), including without limitation all PFS intellectual property, PFS contracts, and PFS personnel (collectively, the “PFS Assets”), from LA India to a new entity established by PFS pursuant to the Business Transfer Agreement (“the “India Reorganization”); provided that Sellers shall pay for (or reimburse Buyers or LA India for) all expenses and Taxes (including but not limited to any stamp duty payable on transfer of PFS Assets as per applicable Laws and registration charges in respect of any instruments executed for the transfer of PFS Assets) and any other charges and / or expenses incurred in connection with such transfer at no cost to LA India. Buyers agree and acknowledge that the PFS Assets are not part of the LiveArea Business purchased by Buyers through the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions to this Agreement and that all PFS Assets are owned by Sellers and not LA India.

Section 5.13    R&W Insurance Policy. The R&W Insurance Policy provides that the R&W Insurer may not seek to obtain or enforce, and waives, any subrogation rights, rights of contribution or any right of assignment it might have against Sellers related to this Agreement, including any alleged breach of any representation or warranty, except with respect to Losses arising from or related to Fraud. Buyers shall not permit or agree to terminate, cancel, amend or

waive any provision therein or otherwise modify the R&W Insurance Policy in any manner adverse to Sellers, including any modification, waiver or amendment that would allow the R&W Insurer (or any agent thereof), except in the case of Fraud, to subrogate or otherwise make or bring any claim against Sellers.

Section 5.14    Wrong Pockets. If, at any time following the Closing:

(a)    Except as may otherwise be set forth in the Business Transfer Agreement, Buyers or any of their Affiliates, including the LiveArea Companies, are in possession of (i) any funds (including any reimbursement or other amount relating to claims (including workers’ compensation), litigation, insurance or other matters) arising from, or (ii) assets primarily used or held for use in, the conduct of Parent’s PFS Operations business line, then Buyers shall promptly transfer, or cause the LiveArea Companies or any other applicable Affiliate of Buyers to transfer, such funds and assets to Parent (or an applicable Affiliate of Parent), for no additional consideration and net of Buyers’ reasonable out-of-pocket costs to receive and hold such funds and assets and effectuate such transfer. Prior to any such transfer, Buyers shall preserve the value of and hold in trust for the use and benefit of Parent such funds and assets and provide to Parent or its designated Affiliate(s) all of the benefits arising from such funds and assets and otherwise cause such funds and assets to be used as reasonably instructed by Parent. 

(b)    Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates are in possession of (i) any funds (including any reimbursement or other amount relating to claims (including workers’ compensation), litigation, insurance or other matters) arising from, or (ii) assets primarily used or held for use in, the conduct of the LiveArea Business, then Sellers shall promptly transfer, or cause their applicable Affiliate(s) to transfer, such funds or assets to Buyers (or an applicable Affiliate of Buyers), for no additional consideration and net of Sellers’ reasonable out-of-pocket costs to receive and hold such funds and assets and effectuate such transfer.  Prior to any such transfer, Sellers shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate(s) to, preserve the value of and hold in trust for the use and benefit of Buyers such funds and assets and provide to Buyers or their designated Affiliate all of the benefits arising from such funds and assets and otherwise cause such funds and assets to be used as reasonably instructed by US Buyer.

Section 5.15    Further Assurances.

(a)    Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances, and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by the LiveArea Reorganization and this Agreement. From and after the Closing, if it is determined by Parent or US Buyer that any of Sellers or LiveArea Pre-Reorg Parties own any right, title or interest to any assets that relate to the LiveArea Business, which assets should have been transferred to a LiveArea Company pursuant to the LiveArea Reorganization, Sellers shall promptly notify Buyers thereof and shall, at Buyers’

request, promptly transfer or cause to be transferred, such right, title or interest to such assets to Buyers at Sellers’ cost and expense. Sellers understand and agree that they may need to take action after Closing in order to ensure that all assets regarding the LiveArea Business are transferred to a LiveArea Company or Buyers. From and after Closing, in the event that Buyers determine that any liability was transferred to a LiveArea Company prior to or at the Closing pursuant to the LiveArea Reorganization or otherwise that does not properly relate to the LiveArea Business (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Deferred Payroll Taxes or amounts owed under the PFSweb, Inc. 2020 Stock and Incentive Plan or the PFSweb, Inc. 2005 Employee Stock and Incentive Plan), Buyers shall promptly notify Sellers thereof and shall transfer or cause to be transferred such liability to Sellers at Sellers’ sole cost and expense and Sellers shall be responsible for the payment, performance and discharge of such liability and Buyers shall be relieved of all responsibility related thereto.

(b)    Furthermore, for purposes of clarity, Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that US Buyer, as purchaser of the LA US Shares and, upon consummation thereof, owner of the LA UK Shares, after the Closing, shall be entitled to enforce the terms of the transfer agreements executed in connection with the LiveArea Reorganization, including the further assurances clauses thereunder to ensure the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that at the Closing, if Sellers have not obtained the shared customer replacement contracts set forth on Schedule 3.08(a)(i) (each, an “Unreplaced Contract”), Sellers shall continue to deal with the other contracting party(ies) to each such Unreplaced Contract as the prime contracting party and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as practicable obtain the replacement of each such Unreplaced Contract. Until such Unreplaced Contract is obtained, Sellers shall pass through all benefits of the Unreplaced Contract relating to the LiveArea Business to the applicable LiveArea Company, including all payments, rebates and other monetary benefits, and shall hold all such benefits in trust for the applicable LiveArea Company and record it separately from other payments received on the account of Sellers and forthwith pay it to the applicable LiveArea Company. Provided that all such benefits are passed to the applicable LiveArea Companies, Buyers agree that the applicable LiveArea Company shall perform, at its sole expense, all of the obligations of Sellers to be performed after the Closing Date under the terms and conditions of each such Unreplaced Contract relating to the LiveArea Business. Each shared customer replacement contract shall contain terms which overall shall not be materially unfavorable from the terms of the shared customer contract that it replaces, and if the terms overall constitute a material unfavorable difference, such contract shall be subject to review and consent by US Buyer prior to execution by the applicable LiveArea Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 5.16    Exclusivity. From the date hereof until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX, Sellers will deal exclusively with Buyers in connection

with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no such Person shall take or permit any other Person on its behalf to take any action to, directly or indirectly: (a) solicit, initiate, encourage or otherwise entertain any inquiries, proposals or offers from, any Person (other than Buyers or their Affiliates) relating to any transaction or series of related transactions involving (i) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, conversion, recapitalization, refinancing, liquidation or acquisition of the LiveArea Companies or the LiveArea Business, (ii) a sale of any material amount of assets of the LiveArea Companies or the LiveArea Business, (iii) a direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of any capital stock or other equity interests of the LiveArea Companies, or (iv) any similar transaction or business combination involving the LiveArea Companies (each of the above, an “Alternative Transaction”); (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations with, provide any information to, or enter into any agreement with any Person (other than Buyers or their Affiliates) in connection with an Alternative Transaction; or (c) accept any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyers or their Affiliates) relating to an Alternative Transaction. Parent will promptly notify US Buyer if Sellers receive any such inquiries, proposals or offers and provide US Buyer with a copy of any written correspondence, proposals or offers.

Section 5.17    Release by Parent and PFS.

(a)    On the Closing Date, each of Parent and PFS (each a “Releasor”), on behalf of such party, the LiveArea Pre-Reorg Parties and each of their respective successors and past, present and future assigns irrevocably, absolutely and fully releases, remises, relieves, relinquishes, waives and forever discharges the LiveArea Companies and their past, present and future officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all Proceedings, counterclaims, damages, losses, payments, obligations, debts, accountings, Encumbrances, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) of any kind or nature, fixed or contingent, direct or indirect, several or otherwise, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, choate or inchoate, claimed or unclaimed, in Law or in equity, whether arising from, in or out of tort, statute (whether state, federal or local) or contract or any other common law, administrative or similar cause of action, right or remedy (collectively, the “Released Claims”), that such Releasor may have against any of the Released Parties from the beginning of time until the Closing Date, other than the Retained Claims (as hereinafter defined). “Retained Claims” means any Proceedings of a Releasor for: (i) indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 5.05; (ii) rights, claims and actions arising out of or under this Agreement; and (iii) claims that cannot be released as a matter of Law.

(b)    Such Releasor, on behalf of such Releasor and such Releasor’s successors and past, present and future assigns, specifically waives the benefits of any statutory or common law of any state, which in effect provides that a general release does not extend to Released Claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor. It is expressly understood and agreed that the releases contained in this Section 5.17 are intended to cover and do cover all known facts and/or Released Claims, as well as any further facts and/or Released Claims within the scope of such Released Claims not

known or anticipated, but which may later develop or be discovered, including all the effects and consequences thereof. Such Releasor, on behalf of such Releasor, the LiveArea Pre-Reorg Parties and each of their successors and past, present and future assigns, acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts in addition to, or different from, those which it now believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Released Claims released in this Agreement, but agrees that it has taken that possibility into account in reaching this Agreement, and that the releases given in this Agreement will be and remain in effect notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts, as to which such Releasor expressly assumes the risk. Each Releasor acknowledges that the Laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS, HER OR ITS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM, HER OR IT MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS, HER OR ITS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Each Releasor acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, each Releasor agrees that, effective as of the Closing Date, such Releasor shall be deemed to waive any such provision.

(c)    In the event that such Releasor, the LiveArea Pre-Reorg Parties or any of their successors and past, present and future assigns hereafter makes any Released Claim or demand or commences or threatens to commence any Released Claim against any Released Party, this Agreement may be raised as an estoppel, waiver and complete bar to any such Released Claim. If such Releasor, the LiveArea Pre-Reorg Parties or any of their successors and past, present and future assigns brings any Released Claim or manner of action against any of the Released Parties in administrative proceedings, arbitration, at law, in equity or mixed, with respect to any Released Claim, then such Releasor shall indemnify such Released Parties in the amount or value of any final, non-appealable judgment or settlement (monetary or other) and any related cost (including reasonable legal fees) entered against, paid or incurred by such Released Parties as a result thereof.

Section 6.01    Tax Covenants. 

(a)    Without the prior consent of US Buyer, Parent (and, prior to the Closing, the LiveArea Companies and their respective Affiliates and Representatives) shall not, to the extent it may affect, or relate to, the LiveArea Companies, make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Buyers or the LiveArea Companies in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period.

(b)    Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the LiveArea Companies after the Closing Date with respect to a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by Parent to US Buyer (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by US Buyer, supporting documentation) at least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return and Parent shall incorporate any reasonable comments made by US Buyer with respect thereto. Sellers shall pay to US Buyer (or its designees) all such Taxes shown on such Tax Returns that are Pre-Closing Taxes (to the extent that the amount of each such Tax exceeds the amount of such Tax included as a liability in Closing Working Capital or Indebtedness) no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the due date for filing of the applicable Tax Return.

(c)    US Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the LiveArea Companies after the Closing Date with respect to any Straddle Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by US Buyer to Parent (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Parent, supporting documentation) at least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return and US Buyer shall incorporate any reasonable comments made by Parent with respect thereto. Sellers shall pay to Buyer all such Taxes shown on such Tax Returns that are Pre-Closing Taxes (to the extent that the amount of each such Tax exceeds the amount of such Tax included as a liability in Closing Working Capital or Indebtedness) no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the due date for filing of the applicable Tax Return.

(d)    The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the LiveArea Companies that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Buyers.

Section 6.02    Tax Indemnification. Sellers shall indemnify the LiveArea Companies and Buyers and hold them harmless from and against any and all Pre-Closing Taxes (but only to the extent such amount was not specifically taken into account in calculating the amount of the Purchase Price and Purchase Price Adjustment) for the applicable statute of limitations related thereto plus sixty (60) days.

Section 6.03    Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:

(a)    in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(b)    in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

Section 6.04    Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and paid equally by Parent and US Buyer when due; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any value added Taxes with respect to LiveArea UK (whether as a result of this Agreement or the LiveArea Reorganization) shall be borne and paid solely by Parent, and (ii) the term “Transfer Taxes” shall not include any withholding Taxes. Sellers shall, at their own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Buyers shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

Section 6.05    Section 338(h)(10) Election. 

(a)    Election. At US Buyer’s option, the applicable Sellers shall join with US Buyer in making a timely election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign Law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the LA US Shares hereunder (collectively, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”), and the applicable Sellers shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction, or other tax item resulting therefrom on their Tax Returns. Sellers shall pay any Taxes attributable to the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election and Sellers shall indemnify Buyers, the LiveArea Companies, and any Affiliates thereof against any adverse consequences arising out of any failure to pay any such Taxes. Sellers agree to provide US Buyer with such information as US Buyer reasonably requests in order to make the Section 338(h)(10) Election (and file any forms and statements in connection therewith) within thirty (30) days after US Buyer’s request for such information. US Buyer and Sellers shall, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, take all actions necessary and appropriate to effect and preserve the Section 338(h)(10) Election. Sellers and US Buyer agree, except as otherwise required by Law, (A) to file all Tax Returns that are affected by the Section 338(h)(10) Election in accordance with the Section 338(h)(10) Election, and (B) not to take any position before any Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(b)    Tax Allocation. If a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, Sellers and US Buyer agree that the amount allocated to LiveArea US under Section 2.02 shall be allocated among the assets of LiveArea US and the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 5.08 for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by US Buyer in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations and Treasury Regulation Section 1.338-6 thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Law, as appropriate), and the methodology set forth

on Schedule 6.05(b) attached hereto. US Buyer shall deliver the Allocation Schedule within 60 days following the final determination of Closing Working Capital. If Parent notifies US Buyer in writing that Parent objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule (the “Allocation Schedule Dispute Notice”), Parent and US Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Parent and US Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 60 days following Parent’s delivery of the Allocation Schedule Dispute Notice, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be shared equally by Parent, on the one hand, and by US Buyer, on the other hand. Buyers, the LiveArea Companies and Sellers shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule and shall not take any position before any Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.04 herein shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

Section 6.06    Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax Sharing Agreements to which any LiveArea Company is a party shall be terminated and all payables and receivables arising thereunder shall be settled, in each case prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.07    Cooperation. The parties hereto shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.

(i)    FisherBroyles, LLP has acted as counsel to (A) the LiveArea Companies and (B) Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Parent Group”), in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Engagement”). Buyers agree, and shall cause the LiveArea Companies to agree, that, following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, such representation and any prior representation of the LiveArea Companies by FisherBroyles, LLP (“Parent Group Law Firm”) shall not preclude Parent Group Law Firm from serving as counsel to Parent Group or any director, member, shareholder, partner, officer or employee of Parent Group, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the Engagement.

(ii)    Buyers shall not, and shall cause the LiveArea Companies not to, seek or have Parent Group Law Firm disqualified from any such representation based on the prior representation of the LiveArea Companies by Parent Group Law Firm regarding the Engagement.

any Privileged Communications in any claim, dispute, action, suit or proceeding against or involving any of Parent Group.
